Guest: Thanks!

I missed an update! No, I'm 30 minutes late! Well, it's kind of fitting it's my leas popular AND an accidentally-tiny-short chapter. Idk what happened in editing, but anyways here's the chapter and I'm both glad and sad nobody noticed I missed the update lol. Enjoy, see you in a few hours for my other story.

t"I got 76 bots and saved two other students," Luffy said at dinner, eating teriyaki stir fry and steamed rice with the sauce Luffy had concocted on accident that tasted really good. Hawks almost spit his food out, for once losing his composure before swallowing and then laughing.

"I don't know why I'm surprised. Did you leave any for everybody else?" he asked in amusement. Luffy said he left many, but not at the beginning. "You probably failed a lot of kids by stealing all of the bots at the beginning," he pointed out.

Luffy bristled and said he wanted to shine, so he did. "Well, I think it's awesome either way. Proud of you, I think you'll make a great sidekick, or hero, who knows?" Luffy said he still wanted to be a sidekick.

"You rubbed off on me, I don't want to have a huge workload on myself. I want to be able to relax more than heroes," he said with a smirk. Hawks smiled and called him cheeky. "I'm accepted either way, but it was fun. I texted Todoroki and he wasn't surprised at all. I almost sensed a laugh in his text, but it's hard to tell."

Then he asked what Hawks thought of the student who couldn't control his quirk at all. "Shouldn't people be able to at least control it a bit, since you get your quirk at four?" he wondered.

Hawks replied, "Even generations later, we are still not sure a lot about the science of quirks. There had been no reported case of 0a quirk developing so late, but it could be possible. In this world it seems anything is possible. Like your totally overpowered quirk. Never heard of anyone having one like yours."

Luffy nodded and said that maybe he could learn his quirk if he was accepted into UA Though he didn't know how that was possible since the bot he'd punched was worth zero points.

"Since you've already finished all your homework, want to go on patrol with me tomorrow?" Hawks asked. Luffy nodded, glad to go on patrols and get some experience even if they didn't call it a patrol to anybody else. They just said Luffy was going on a walk with him.

It was hard for him to fall asleep, wondering what would happen when he was accepted. There was no way he wouldn't be based on how many bots he'd gotten, how neatly he'd gotten rid of them. Plus, he helped two people he was supposed to be against.

The next day, he was swarmed by students wondering how the entrance exam went. Luffy told them detailed accounts, and he was jokingly called an asshole about taking more of the easy access bots. Luffy just laughed it off, saying he wanted to prove he was strong. "I think I got a good grade on the test, so all that matters is the practical exam. I'll tell everyone once I get the reply."

"If you got accepted," Jonsi said, one of his other friends, though not as close as Todoroki. Luffy nodded, saying he wouldn't share if it was a rejection. He was impatient with school, and when he finally flew home, he went down the elevator and found Hawks, seeming to be waiting for him, as they left immediately.

They were doing a petrol from above, and Hawks asked Luffy to use that super senses to find any trouble. Luffy was surprised, but nodded and pulled that quirk out of the drawer and listened for the sound of breaking glass, grunts, screams, swearing. He heard the sound of a speeding car and shouts of profanities of it.

"I think I hear a speeding car with the people inside swearing." Hawks said they could go check it out, and followed where Luffy heard the sound coming from. They saw the speeding car, and Hawks asked if Luffy wanted to take care of it, making sure he didn't hurt anybody. He was supervised by a hero, so could use his quirk in a non-dangerous way and not get in trouble.

He sped up to the car and then crushed his hands into the top of it, halting it by picking it up. Hawks opened the doors and took all the criminals out, as they had ski masks on and a ton of bags of money in the trunk. Luffy kept the car in the air, and Hawks took them out and zip tied their hands together. Luffy put the car on the side of the road to let traffic resume. The criminals were put to the side as well.

They waited for the cops to come and the four of them were arrested, the money confiscated and the car towed away. It had two holes in the top from where Luffy had crushed his and inside to lift it up. His regenerative powers healed instantly if he was hurt by All Might's power, which wasn't often but did happen.

Hawks clapped him on the shoulder with a grin. "Nice. Wanna do it again?" Luffy nodded, and the two of them flew back up, circling while Luffy listened for anything. He heard a gunshot from a distance away. He alerted Hawks that there was a gunshot and he followed Luffy as fast as he could as the teen hurried to the source.

He couldn't do anything to the criminal, but Hawks could, and he flew up behind him and easily chopped his neck, confiscating the gun and dragging the guy from the collar of his shirt, calling the police once again to take him. It was obvious when someone was a criminal and when one was a villain.

They ran into criminals much more than villains. When it got to be evening, they headed back home, having caught 12 guys in three situations. Hawks said his new quirk was really useful. Luffy nodded, agreeing with that statement. The sense of sound was the most helpful of them. He didn't use the sense of smell since everywhere stunk and it wouldn't help him in finding bad guys.

They ordered pizza that night, something Luffy rarely allowed. He was the one wearing the pants in the house regarding food and diet. Hawks always found it funny, but was fine with it since Luffy made good food.

"It came!" Luffy said after going downstairs to get the mail in the mail slow that had a key so no one could think of stealing any of it. It was Hawk's day off, and Luffy held the letter up, though it was heavy and clunky, clearly not just a paper letter. He sat at the coffee table and opened it, a hologram projector coming out and lighting up as soon as it was out of the envelope.

Luffy was nervous but excited, so his wings moved around a bit, something akin to tapping your foot or wringing your hands. All Might popped up, and explained about the point system. Luffy and Hawks both waited impatiently for him to get to the scoreboard, and saw Luffy's name was at the top, with 150 villain points and 40 hero points.

"You've scored the highest, though no one is surprised based on the fact you were recommended. A great show of your strength and care! Welcome to U.A.!" All Might said simply, and told him he'd see him in a couple months. The hologram shut off and both of them started laughing.

The next highest person had 77 villain points and zero hero points. So Luffy finished with nearly 200. Hawks congratulated him, saying it was awesome. "Though I have to take some credit for that skill," he said haughtily.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night," Luffy joked. Hawks chuckled.

"Should I get you a present?" he mused. Luffy said it wasn't necessary, but Hawks made a "hmmm" meaning he would definitely get Luffy some sort of present. And he did the next day. A high end food processor Luffy's wanted forever. He was very happy with it, now able to make more deserts, which was what he was attempting now. In small quantities so they could taste and not binge on them.

When Luffy decided they'd had their servings, he brought the leftovers down and put in little foiled pieces for the workers and sidekicks to have a treat at work. They all liked when Luffy made food for them. There were a lot of times he brought down all sorts of muffins. Hawks' workers liked Luffy, and that was a relief for both of them. And not just because of his cooking and baking skills.

He was the messenger on days he was bored and had nothing to do, bringing mail to others inside the building. He liked being helpful when he wanted to. He was never forced to, though.

Todorki had to take his own exam with a handful of other recommended students. Sounded boring to Luffy.

The months passed quickly, and Hawks had been surprised by the costume Luffy designed to be made from the school for free. Not that money would matter in the long run. It was light, not like Hawks' outfit. "I want as little resistance as possible," Luffy said when Hawks asked why he got a body suit. It was black, matching his hair and complementing the deep blue of his wings.

He had eye shields similar to Hawks, but were a tint of very light blue with darker blue headphones that matched the color of his wings. The boots were black as well, and had an extendable hook on the toes in case he was going to hang off anything with the mostly unused hooks on his wings.

He would kick them out so they weren't there all the time. His hands were covered in tight gloves. Overall, a very different image from Hawks. Which was nice, he wasn't a copy of the man, he just had wings as well.

"Won't you be cold?" Hawks asked curiously. Luffy said he'd designed a jacket as well that he'd wear in the winter or if he was somewhere cold. It was black as well with blue patterns on it. It wasn't open at the back, but had a square of empty space that is wings fitted into perfectly, not leaving much of him exposed.

After the graduation ceremony for junior high, with Hawks actually being there, perched on the roof behind the school and watching with a grin, the pro-hero started teaching Luffy combat while in the air instead of just dive bombing things and punching them. He never went hard against Hawks, they were only learning the moves, knowing how strong Luffy could be if he mastered these skills.

It left him tired and sleepy, and they did that every night over summer. He and Todoroki practiced against one another in the huge backyard of his estate when Endeavor wasn't there. And it was easy since, if he showed up, Luffy could just fly away without a trace. He kicked the ice and broke it apart, but each time that happened, Todoroki's ice grew harder and more durable until it was like a crystal.

Breakable if hit very hard, but not easy to shatter. Over the summer, they practiced almost daily, and then he and Hawks continued during the night, making Luffy more muscular, but still shorter than Todoroki. They thought he didn't grow at a normal pace because of how little he ate as a child.

He assumed he wasn't treated well as a little kid based on what his family had done to him. So it made sense that he was short. But size didn't matter, strength did. So, when he went to his first day of school, in his own customized uniform with an open back, he was confident he could handle anything thrown his way.
