This is it, Izuku is now standing in front of the most prestigious hero school throughout Japan, UA. Of all such schools, it is the most difficult to enter; that one in three hundred examinees only make it. The Alma Mater of the Top Three Heroes; All Might, Endeavor, and Best Jeanist. If you want to be truly remembered as a ' Great' hero, graduating from UA is essential.
And this is my next step to prove that I can become a hero.
Izuku knows it just for reputation alone, but this is too much. The place is too big. Just standing in the archway, Izuku can see the large building with an 'H' figure gallantly standing.
' This is it, Izuku, the day of the entrance exam. ' He clenched his fist, "You need to pass".
Though, if I did not pass, can I be a vigilante instead? No, he shook his head. He needs to pass the exam no matter what. As much as it is a viable option of becoming a vigilante, Izuku can't do it as it is illegal. Besides, the result of those ten literal months of hell will be tested today. Every bone that had been broken and the cries that fell from his eyes will pay off.
"Fuck off, 'Deku'!! ," Izuku looks back "Kacchan!!"
Oh, Ever since the Sludge Villain incident Bakugou stopped harassing him and now today is the first time they actually talk face to face.
"Don't stand in my way, or do you wanna fucking die" Bakugou shouted at him.
"Good morning Kacchan, fancy seeing, you here and let's do our best"
Instead of greeting him back Bakugou just passed at him, typical Kacchan. Confronting him has never been easy but now even with all the preparation Izuku has, talking to him is still hard, or to say awkward.
Izuku took a sigh 'This will never be easy… ' he murmured before taking a step forward.
.This is your first big step toward being a hero as if it just can be that simple. In a moment of hidden nervousness, Izuku trips on himself.
'I'm going to die! ' He shouted in his mind 'This is it!!!'
"Huh?" he did not fall on his face?
What is this? Izuku is floating, is this some kind of latent quirk that is all just within him waiting to be manifested. His thoughts suddenly broke off when a feminine voice called at him.
"You all right?" she asked.
She has brown hair in a bob cut and an everlasting pink blush on her cheek. The girl clasped her hands.
"Sorry for going crazy with my 'quirk' there " so, it's not his hidden quirk, he is still quirkless "I just think it'd have been a bad omen if you tripped, you know?"
What a girl is talking to him, a cute girl is actually talking to him right now.
"I'm so nervous, I bet you are too!"
"Huh? ah… uhh…. "
Izuku Brain.EXE has stopped working … of all the outcasting from the fifteen years of his life, Izuku has forgotten how to truly hold a conversation with others especially if it's a surprise. Even the added self-confidence from his training did not help at the moment.
"Well, Good Luck! Later!" She waved at him before taking off.
"..."
"I talk to a girl" if we consider his grunts then yes, he actually talked to a girl.
"WELCOME EVERYONE AND WELCOME ALL TO MY LIVE SHOW! EVERYBODY SAYS HEEEEY!!! "
" HEEEEY!!!!" Izuku was so excited that he didn't notice that he actually responded at Present Mic. Is he going to make him? Is he gonna reprimand him?
"Oh?" Present Mic was surprise. There was a pregnant pause in between before he grinned again, this time slightly bigger than before. "I LIKE YOUR ENTHUSIASM, LITTLE LISTENER. I'VE GOT SHIVERS FROM THAT, ALL RIGHT LISTENERS. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A LOWDOWN ON HOW THIS WILL GO DOWN! ARE YOU READY!?"
" YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
On the sidelines, Izuku is ecstatic. Present Mic thanked him, a pro hero noticed it and he thanked him. This is the best of his life.
" Oh my god, it's really the voice-type hero ' Present Mic ' "he giggled " I listen to him every week, this is incredible, the lecturers at UA really are pro heroes' ' he mumbled.
"SHUT IT!" Kacchan hissed at him but Izuku didn't pay attention. He was so excited.
"NOW PAY ATTENTION LISTENERS! WE WILL BE TESTING YOUR METTLE BY RUNNING A TEN-MINUTE PRACTICE AT OUT REPLICA CITY - DISTRICT, " Present Mic pressed a button, and the large screen behind suddenly show a diagram with letters from A to G "EVERYBODY GATHER AT THE DESIGNATED MEETING AREA AFTER THE PRESENTATION, YA DIG?"
"They don't intend on letting friends or classmates cooperate with each other, huh?" kacchan glanced at his side.
"They gave us serial numbers but they intend to separate those who have the same school to not work together," He said.
"Don't look at me, or I'll fucking kill you. " Kacchan growled at him.
'... if you don't want to talk to me then don't glance at me' he said in his mind
" Tch, it's probably set up so I don't get to crush you"
"WE'LL BE SPRINKLING A LARGE NUMBER OF ' VILLAINS' OVER THE BATTLEFIELD" the screen shifted showing silhouettes of Mario-esques characters with points as a placeholder. "AND THEY'LL APPEAR IN THREE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS, WITH POINT VALUES SCALED ACCORDING TO DIFFICULTY!!" The screen changed once again but this time showing the silhouette of Mario chasing a coin. "USING EACH OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL QUIRKS, DISPATCH AS MANY ' VILLAINS' AS YOU CAN" Present mic raised his index finger, then swiftly pointing it around the examines "YOUR GOAL, LISTENERS, IS TO RACK UP A HIGH SCORE!!!"
"AND…" He shakes his finger "DON'T THINK ABOUT DIRECTLY ATTACKING THE OTHER COMPETITORS OR ANYTHING OF THAT NASTY ANTI-HERO STUFF BECAUSE THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES, CASPICE?"
Out of nowhere, a blue-haired student emerges, his body practically saying 'I will follow the rules, and you should too' "On the hand-out, there are clearly four types of villains listed!" He pointed at the brochure he was holding "Such an error would be the height of embarrassment for a top-tier national academy of UA calibre!!! The reason we are seated here today is that we seek guidance on the path to becoming model heroes."
The blue-haired boy snapped his head back "Moreover, what's with you? Yeah, you, curly-haired kid" he pointed at Izuku, his face curled "Can't you sit still for a second… You're distracting!!" he glared at him. "If you think UA is some pleasure jaunt, then leave this place at once!"
What did Izuku do to deserve this kind of treatment? He was just excited to see a pro hero and now he is being scolded by someone. He could hear Bakugou scoffing but he chose to ignore it. Izuku took a deep sigh, talking to the blue-haired boy will just amount to nothing.
"OKAY, OKAYYY" Present mic waved his hand, trying to call the attention of the boy "THANK FOR THE SEGUE, MUCH APPRECIATED, EXAMINEE 7111!"
"THE FOURTH TYPE OF VILLAIN YOU'LL ENCOUNTER IS WORTH ZERO POINTS! LET'S CALL THEM ' ARENA TRAPS'!" The screen blank before showing the silhouette of the zero-pointer "There's a thing in the area! Their ' GIMMICK' is that they rampage when crowded!"
The hall was suddenly filled with whispers
"I see… "
"Sounds like one of the stage hazards… "
"This really is starting to resemble a video game… "
Suddenly Present Mic said "BUT THEY WILL NOT JUST RAMPAGE… " the student fell into silence "IF YOU DEFEAT THE ZERO-POINTER… ALL YOUR POINTS WILL BE LOST"
The points will be lost, then that means Izuku needs to get away fast if he ever sees the zero-pointer. If it is attracted by the crowd, then Izuku simply needs to take down the robots fast before they can group. Izuku nods as he finally puts a plan.
Present Mic face was etched with a maniacal grin "NOW, LET'S MOVE TO THE MAIN EVENT"
PLUS ULTRA!!
"It's so big… "
Izuku has never been this nervous before since he first attended Ryo-sensei's dojo. But being in here and actually taking the practical exam is really different from what he imagined. Everyone seems like they are very confident and they all actually have some equipment that matches their quirk.
Being quirkless. Izuku should bring support equipment, right? Even with those who have quirks so why is he at a literal disadvantage does not have one. It was not pride nor pettiness, but a simple inconvenience. The forms needed to bring support equipment are biased towards those who have quirks, and him being apparently quirkless will just make everything complicated. There's actually a chance that he will not be allowed to carry support equipment. This world is truly biased to those who have powers, and that's what Izuku Midoriya wants to change.
Besides, his training that consists of him breaking his bone also contains improvised weapon training. Oh, Izuku could still remember being slapped by a literal frying pan.
Izuku gazes around, trying to see the others examiners. His gaze suddenly caught a familiar sight of brown hair.
' oh yeah… I should thank her for earlier… '
As he steps forward, a large hand suddenly grabs his shoulder. Izuku could feel it, without even looking he knows it, this is going to be bad.
"Who exactly are you, my friend?" the blue-haired boy still with a scowl asked him. "You didn't come to distract your fellow test-takers, did you?"
'that the kid who's been acting like a weirdo since he arrived at the front gate' one of the examines murmured
'The kid who can't quit talking to himself' said another.
'Well, that just means there is one fewer rival to worry about, no?
' They think they're lucky to have me as an opponent…' how wrong they are…
AAAAAAAND START!
Everybody was confused, the green-haired boy being weird suddenly vanished. They looked around but all they saw was a blur of green passing through the gate. He cannot be that fast, right?
"WHAT'S THE MATTER!? THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A COUNTDOWN IN A REAL BATTLE! RUN! RUUUUN!!! '' Present Mic shouted at them "CONSIDER THE BATON TOSSED!"
Izuku is confused, where is everybody? As soon as he heard the starting fire he ran as fast as he could. But now even with his speed, is everyone faster than him? No, he needs to focus on getting points. At that moment, a one-pointer suddenly appeared out of the corners of the building.
" Target Lock-on! Murder! "
Swiftly, Izuku ran in its direction, evading the incoming missiles. He jumps below its head, twisting his own body, before propelling his body and kicking the head of a one-pointer. Izuku was surprised, he didn't actually believe that he could do that. Compared to those metal sheets he regularly punches at Ryo-sensei's dojo, the robots here are pretty brittle.
He shook his head. These robots can't be that brittle, maybe that's just the one-pointer. He needs to find more robots or he will fail. Izuku ripped out a metal pipe out of the remains of the one-pointer, this robot is really brittle, before running away again.
As much as Izuku wants to destroy robots, he is distracted by students getting caught up with crossfire. Other students seemed not prepared by any margin, no, it was not Izuku's position to judge others, maybe they are just that nervous like him.
There was this insomniac purple-haired student who almost got punched by a large robot. Thankfully, Izuku managed to rip the robot's arm before it hit the student. Izuku looked at him.
'No, visible mutation unlikely to be transformation type and he did not show any strength enhancement quirk. His quirk may be a mental one'
"Take that, " Izuku throws his metal pipe "You need it more than me"
Another student was caught up by another crossfire, this time a ginger-haired girl was trapped in a bottleneck of three-pointer robots. She seems strong and has a transformation-type quirk, evident from her hands going small and big but she was caught off guard after saving someone.
Izuku, without thinking, kicks the body of the robot, sending it several meters before punching the head of the second one and ripping out the core of the last robot. The ginger-head looked at him, mouth agape.
"Be careful… "
Before she can thank him, Izuku dashes forward to find more robots.
Six minutes and two seconds left…
'This is bad, really bad ' the number of the villains is drastically going down.
"Phewww… twenty-six points… " the brown haired-girl said while the robot float around his back
"forty-five points," the strict blue-haired boy said, kicking one of the robots.
I need more points, ' he shouted at his mind. Due to Izuku entirely focusing on finding and fighting the robots. He forgot to count how many points he had. But to his calculation, if he doesn't destroy more robots he will surely fail.
Away from the testing area, a dark-filled area was lit by multiple screens showing the students fighting the robots.
Inside the darkness, a small white-haired rat? Suddenly spoke "A strict time limit and a vast battleground… nothing quite like it to bring everyone's ardor into the open and uncover their skills!"
"The ability to grasp the situation quickly and accurately" one of the screens shifted showing a student with multiple arms
'INSIGHT'
"The ability to stock dynamic entry without being late to the party" the screen showed the blue-haired body dashing through the bodies of robots.
'AGILITY'
"The ability to face any obstacle with coolness and composure" the screen shifted once again showing a glittery blond shooting laser out of his belly.
' JUDGMENT'
And of course, sheer " Fighting Prowess"
The rat, bear, mouse thing called Nezu was smiling. The new generation of heroes is in front of him and those who will pass the exam will be taught in his school. "What a bunch of nice crops we have this year, right Aizawa? "
Aizawa Shota or better known as Eraserhead just scoffed "It is still early to decide that" for years Aizawa wants the board to change the entrance but to his avail the board won't approve it, favoring more those who have 'flashier' and 'stronger' quirk.
"What about you, All Might?" Nezu said, turning his head.
"I think everyone has a nice quirk and they can be a great hero… "
Aizawa still cannot believe it, the number one hero, All Might can only go 'Heroing' in just three hours per day. Add to that, his skeleton form is together with them watching the examinations. As much as Aizawa looks at him, he still can't get used to it.
' He seems to be focusing on one screen'
He shifted slightly, making sure that Nemuri or better known as Midnight will not notice him checking a specific screen. He knows that if she notices it, she will tease him that he found a favorite, and Aizawa doesn't like it.
He squints his eyes, looking at the same screen as All Might. The monitor shows a green-bushy-haired student that looks very plain. The student grabs a metal pipe before bashing the head of the robot. Not too much damage but still enough to render the robot. ' A minor strength enhancement, but why would All Might be fixated on that boy? Is he purposely hiding his strength…'
"Well, let's see what this hero aspirants have," Nezu was grinning widely, he opened a large case before pressing a large red button on the control panel " Let's give them the ZERO-POINTER"
Suddenly the ground was rumbling, in the distance, the buildings began to crumble. Every student halted what they were doing, slowly turning their head towards the sound of crumbling buildings.
"That's the gimmick that'll rampage when crowded!?"
That's ridiculously huge!!!
A gigantic robot, towering over several buildings, was making its way to them. Everybody began to run forward, trying to save their own life. Even the blue-haired boy is running.
His body won't move, why at all times his body won't move. There it is the robot that could potentially kill him and yet… Izuku is not moving. ' Is this some kind of big joke!?' Izuku is terrified, so terrified that even his knees are shaking but his face is not showing it. Instead, he has a shaky smile.
"Everything that I have done… Will just go to waste… "
Ow... Owww...
Slowly, the smoke dissipated showing the source of the sound. Izuku's eyes widened, someone was trapped in the rubble. And that someone is just not nobody, it was the same girl who saved him.
Her voice suddenly reverberated in his mind ' I just think it'd have been a bad omen if you tripped, you know!?
It was the same before, his legs move on their own. But this time, he was not a quirkless weak loser anymore. This time he was stronger.
' There was no merit or so whatever in destroying the zero-pointer'
Izuku clenched the metal pipe in his hands, pulling it as far as he could before throwing it out. Flying in a circular motion, the pipe hit the head of the robot slightly making the robot take a step back for a few millimeters.
' and such, destroying it will just invalidate all your points'
Without thinking further, Izuku ran forward. Saving the girl is not enough, he needs to destroy the zero-pointer to prevent any more casualties.
He leaps forward, grabbing the ledge of the robot's knees. Then, began climbing its legs, performing a cat leap towards its incoming hand. Izuku twists his body, landing on his arms before running above it. Every part of his body is stinging, but Izuku didn't pay any attention
' But those who move forward without waiting for any compensation'
If all the engineering lessons that he has are right then that means that the black box is its head. To be honest, it was pretty ironic that Izuku himself said that he will run as soon as he sees the zero pointer but here he is trying to stop it.
' have the most important qualification of being a hero… '
He was huffing, finally, he is here at the top. Izuku raised his pipe, a simple puncture towards its mechanism will do its job, He pushed the pipe directly into the head, a single attack isn't enough. Izuku jumped, performing a backflip and a dropkick at the protruding pipe. At that moment, the large zero-pointer stopped moving.
' that's right it is… Self-sacrifice'
Everything seems to stop in his view, Izuku manages to stop it. The towering robot, he actually managed to stop it.
He took a sigh "I, I actually managed it" smile slowly crept into his face "I actually stopped it" He said "Is that girl ok though" Izuku suddenly remembered. However, I still need to first know how to get down.
Nezu was cackling, it's been a long time since he saw someone going at the zero pointer. He could feel the school's staff wincing at him, but of course, he won't stop, he was enjoying it.
"Shouta, look look," Midnight said pointing at the screen showing Izuku "He is actually climbing the zero-pointer" she licked her leaps "oh such vigor~ I want him" Everyone in the room shivers if the boy manage to pass the exam they really need him out of Midnight's clutches.
Aizawa squinted his eyes. 'It was the same boy All Might is looking at. Earlier, he showed a strength enhancement but now he is moving fast. Does his quirk have speed enhancement too… '
Suddenly, he felt shivers from his spine. Aizawa knew this feeling very well, the feeling of fighting a predator in front of you. Only one person in this room can make this kind of presence and it's not All MIght. Oh boy, he miscalculated. Not only Nezu noticed it and he was grinning at him but also Midnight was looking at him with a grin. He was being stared at by demons and there was no escape.
"It is still not the start of the school year but I already have a favorite" Midnight purred.
"and I do believe so" Nezu turned his gaze to him, grinning ear to ear "You're eyeing him from the very start aren't you, Eraserhead?"
His quirk flared up "I don't have any favorite and the only reason I saw him is that there is 'someone' here focusing on him too much" All Might coughed.
"Oh, don't worry Eraserhead, we will not judge you if you found someone interesting." Aizawa can feel it, Nezu is playing games on him, and he was just waiting for him to ask. As much as he hates it he needs to play. No one can say NO to Nezu.
"Fine tell me his quirk" Nezu grinned "That boy there, Izuku Midoriya is quirkless"
Everyone was shocked. They saw it, just how he obliterated the robots. With one punch he can put a hole in them and just now he is like a blur in how fast he is. Even with all the training a quirkless can't do that.
"That would be impossible right? Are you sure that he is quirkless?" Vlad King asked.
"As soon as I noticed that there is a quirkless examinee this year, I got curious" a curious Nezu Is dangerous Nezu. He pushes some buttons and the file of Midoriya is pulled out "as you can see his file says 'quirkless'. But of course, a file can be forged, So I did some digging" Another file is pulled overlapping the first one "X-ray, blood, and quirk factor all of them shows that he is quirkless and do you know what is exciting…. " everyone gulped "That boy just started training ten months before the exam"
Everyone looked agape in a mere ten months. IZuk Midoriya trained for ten months and he can do this. Even Aizawa was shocked, but All Might is not. He seemed like he already knew it. Interesting….
Just as Izuku thinks about how he can go down. The robot suddenly breaks, exploding its body. There was no time to think, Izuku ran through its hand. He can feel the heat burning his skin and the small debris grazing his body. But Izuku didn't stop, if he didn't go now he would surely die. However, a stray explosion manages to explode in his feet, throwing him off.
" AHHHH!!!!!! "
"Calm down! You are far too far from the building" An idea suddenly came up to him "That's right! I can do a Three-point landing, Maybe..." At that height he didn't even know if a three-point landing could do it. All Izuku can do is hope, or just time it perfectly. One small slip up and he will die.
"There it is…"
A sound of a loud slap resounded throughout the surroundings. "What happened!?" Did someone just slap him with a pan, did Ryo-sensei come here to just slap him? That can be possible he was old for that and besides it's not like UA would let him in. Then who is it?
Midoriya opened his eyes, he was floating?
"Skill… Release"
He suddenly fell. Izuku was saved once again by that girl, or rather she managed to do it. Is she all right though she doesn't seem injured her face looks green. 'Probably a side effect by her quirk' but even though how and what she looks like, he was thankful.' I don't know how to thank you!!! '
But still, all the points that he got just vanished. He needs to move…
"If I… could… just get another point…!! "
THE TEST IS OVER!!!!!!
His eyes shot open. 'The test is over…? ' No, no, no, this can't be happening. All of the things that he did were wasted. This is not real… He doesn't have any points. How can he even enter the UA if he doesn't get any points…
"What the hell was that, he climb that 'GIMMICK' thing and stop it"
"It is probably a speed quirk but that was something"
"Even with that quirk… How did he turn into a ball of weirdness all the time? It doesn't make sense"
"Still I think it's amazing"
Izuku can hear their murmurs, but they didn't pay attention. How can he be amazing if all his points just vanished into thin air.
Out of the corner the blue-haired student watched in disbelief.
'Are you all blind? That is not it all!!' he turned his head towards the girl, who seemed puking "He leaped into action to save that girl!!"
You had no time left… and you were out of harm's way… Your chances of passing were hanging in the balance and yet…
"Despite all that, he jumped in without hesitation"
His face scrunched up "if it hadn't been in the middle of the exam. I, of course, would have done the same" But wait… Maybe… That was part of the test?!
"Go home lads, I'll take it from here" the voice came from an elderly woman in a doctor's coat with a cane that looks like a syringe?
Wait, who's that? Izuku looked up. "Oh my god, you are Recovery Girl, the youthful heroine. Your quirk is to accelerate the healing process of a patient. And you- you are the oldest hero that is still serving and you save many heroes in the field… " In that instant, he forgot his worries, even for a little.
"A person who knows me even with my old age.. Hmmm. That's new. But honey, do you have any injuries"
He shook his head "I don't think I have any injuries besides " he pointed towards the brunette "I think she needs more help than me."
"Still take this gummy, it will bring back your stamina" she turned her back, but before she could go to the girl, Midoriya called her. "Can I still become a hero even if didn't pass the entrance exam… "
"Well…it's up to you... '' Recovery girl replied.
"I- I see..."
A week later
"Izuku… Izuku?... Izuku?!!! '' Inko called him. "Are you all right?? You keep turning that screw around.. "
"Ah, Sorry, I'm okay…!"
If he is to say himself, even with all the tinkering and creating a simple virtual assistant. Izuku can't keep his mind about the entrance exam. He probably made it past the passing line of the written test. But with the added condition of the Zero-pointer from practical skill, passing is hardly a matter now. Can he be a vigilante now instead?
"Oh yeah, are the results due back today or tomorrow?" Inko said.
"Uh... Uhh," he didn't have the energy to talk anymore.
"You know, honey, Even if you don't make it, I still think that what you accomplished was amazing!"
"Uh-huh"
So much saying that he will prove All Might and everyone wrong. Did I just waste my time, for nothing? All that training for nothing. I'm sorry… in the end… Izuku was just a -
"Izu… Izuku… Izuku…." he was suddenly interrupted.
"It came! It's here" Izuku looks at his mother, a white envelope was in her hands.
"It's here honey"
Izuku was in his room 'Can I still open this? I- I already know that I failed… ' his hands were shaking, his heart was beating. There was still hope in his heart, a wish that there could be a miracle where he passed. But he needs to face this… he needs to face the reality, that its letter in front of him. If he couldn't keep himself from seeing a simple result for an entrance exam, how can he say that he will become a hero?
He rips the letter open, and at that moment a circular object falls. Suddenly a hologram emerges. Making Izuku moves back.
" TESTING, 1...2..." wha-what is this?
" AM I ON THE SCREEN" All Might?! Huh. Was this from the UA!!? As far as Izuku knows, All Might is not part of the UA's staff and more importantly not here in Mustafu, his base of operation is around in Tokyo where Might Agency is.
" YOU MAY BE SURPRISED BUT NOT, FOR I ALL MIGHT WILL BE WORKING AT UA THIS YEAR." All Might is going to work in UA?!
" I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TELLING THE BOY SOMETHING IMPORTANT… WE'LL FIX IT IN POST?! AH, ALL RIGHT, THAT WORKS '' He seems to be slightly embarrassed " WHAT'S THAT CITIZEN!? TURN TO FACE CAMERA 2?!"
" WELL, YOU DID VERY WELL AT THE WRITTEN EXAM EVEN SCORING AT NINETY-FIVE PERCENTILE" Izuku was surprised he managed to score that high, and he was just expecting to pass the margin line. Seeing the exam, and feeling it was easy certainly didn't help either " BUT… " here comes it.
" AT PRACTICAL SKILLS, AFTER DEFEATING THE ZERO-POINTER. ALL YOUR RATINGS TURNED INTO ZERO" there was a frown on his face " YOU, OF COURSE, FAILED."
Of course, he knows it. Izuku knows that he already failed. Present Mic already told them that destroying the zero-pointer will just invalidate your points. But hearing it now, that he failed stung his heart. Don't need to rub it in, and hearing All Might, the one who's said to him that he can't be a hero said that he failed, hurt him more. His heart was still burning with that determination to prove him wrong but right now for him to fail once again Izuku's heart became clouded. Damn it!!!
" BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE " There's more?! Izuku looked up.
" I WAS ENTERTAINER IN MY FORMER LIKE " All Might pressed a remote and the monitor beside him suddenly opened up " BEHOLD THIS SCREEN!!!"
"uhh, Excuse me?" The screen shows a girl talking to someone like a hero.
'That girl seems to be familiar ' He thought. Wait?! That's the girl who saved me!
" AS SOON AS THE EXAM ENDED, THIS LITTLE LADY PETITIONED US DIRECTLY" All Might Point towards the brunette " WHAT ABOUT YOU ASK?! SEE FOR YOURSELF"
"Uhh, sorry to bother you but... But do you know the body with curly hair? He has freckles, " She was franting "and he's got, Uhh, sort of 'Plain' look… Do you know who I'm talking about," she asks Present Mic. Plain? that's totally me!
"Would it be possible to share my points with him? " Her brown eyes seem to shine with determination more than before. "He said something like 'if I could get more points'" she clenched her fist "So, I gleamed with that, I know that because of me… Even he didn't know me, he rush and saved me… "
"Please at least give him the number of points he lost because of me!" She pleaded
Voices from the past reverberate in Izuku's mind.
What can a dweeb like you do something, huh!?
You had no absolutely reason to rush headlong into such danger!!
I don't think you can be a hero…
" IT IS YOUR ACTIONS THAT HAVE TOUCHED PEOPLE. MUCH MORE SO THAN ANY ' QUIRK' "
"That boy…" her voice starting from low " Saved my life!" she shouted.
It was the final nail, someone actually-. The scene after he rushed to save Bakugou flashbacks to his mind, all the harsh words and the glares came back to him. Even in the afternoon, where Bakugou confronted him. But now… he actually managed to save someone's life and they're not mad at him. Without, realizing tears came running down his face.
" AND THE JUDGES WERE LOOKING AT MORE THAN JUST SMASHING ROBOTS FOR POINTS!!!" All Might crossed his arms.
"Sorry missy, but cast share points but… " Present Mic was smiling at her "I'm thinking that you won't need to in First Place"
" DID YOU THINK THERE'D BE A DEPARTMENT OF HEROICS THAT REJECTS ENTRANT FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING?! PERISH THE THOUGHT '' All Might smiled wider " THINKS IT'S CHEESY! FINE BY ME. IT'S IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION! LAYING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE TO DO THE CHEESY STUFF!!"
" SO TAKE ALL YOUR RESCUE POINTS!! THE JUDGES ALL AGREE" Even after destroying that robot and erasing all his points, he still manages to get something.
" MIDORIYA IZUKU: 60 POINTS" Is- is this real!? " AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, URARAKA OCHAKO: 45 POINTS" His cries began to flood his eyes more. He passed. Even with all his hopes gone, he managed to pass.
" BEFORE I FORGOT DESTROYING THE ZERO POINTER WILL NOT ACTUALLY INVALIDATE YOUR POINTS '' Not invalidate points?
" IZUKU MIDORIYA, YOUR FINAL SCORE IS 130 POINTS" This is crazy, Izuku managed to get that many points. So all his worries about not destroying that many robots are for nothing. Well if he added some rescue along his way before he saw the zero-pointer, it was to be expected.
All Might extend his hands " COME ON MIDORIYA! MY BOY"
THIS IS YOUR HERO ACADEMIA
