Chapter 6: After math of Exam
Izuku's POV:
FINALLY! I told Bakuguo off! All those years of just smiling and taking all his insults, hits and threats for so long...all that pent up aggression and suppressed feelings. MAN it felt great to finally vent all of that out and right to his face too. I really had some pep in my step as I made my way back home, that confrontation with Bakuguo really lifted some weight off my shoulders.
Not only that...I saved a life AND for sure aced that entranced exam! I'm going to UA! There's no way I didn't pass! Today had to be the greatest day ever! I wanted to go right to Chizome and tell him how everything went! However I told my mom I'd come right back home and tell her everything...Oh well I guess I'll let him know tomorrow.
Speaking of Chizome...I'm really conflicted on whether or not I should tell mom about him...I feel like I shouldn't but I also don't like lying to my mom...
"Sigh...I'll just leave things as they are for now." I rubbed my forehead and carried on my way back home.
Surprisingly enough I managed to get there without being stopped by a certain blonde boy. I guess what I said finally got through his head. Thank goodness...I really didn't want him spoiling my good mood with his bullshit...
"Oh wow...that's new..." The boy was surprised at his own thoughts.
"Well that's what years of being bullied and just bottling it up inside will do to you..." I heaved a big sigh and made it the rest of the way back home.
As I opened the door to my house I smiled and let out a big shout.
"Mooom! I'm back!" I yelled.
Right on cue I heard my mother's footsteps rushing over to me. Within seconds my mother had her arms clung around me in a tight loving embrace.
"Oh my sweet little man! How did it go!? Are you hurt?! Is anything broken?!" She spoke frantically.
"It went fine mom and I'm fine." I hug back giving a reassuring smile.
"Oh that's amazing! Please! Tell me how it went!"
"Okay okay! Let's sit down and I'll tell you all about it!" I smiled walking with her over to the coach and sitting.
"Well I gotta say mom..despite all the powerful looking students there...I was pretty confident!"
"That's the spirit baby!"
"Uhuh! Also I made a new friend. This short student named Mineta. I saw he was pretty nervous so I just decided to prep him up."
"Hehehe...Your always trying to help out others. I love that trait about you."
"Yeah...I love it too. It'll be a good perk for being a hero. Oh and I also made another friend. I saved her from being crushed by a giant robot! Her name was Urakaka."
Inko: "OOOH! My sweethearts already a hero!" She hugged me joyfully.
"Hehehe...yeah...I sure did feel like a hero." I smiled patting her back.
I decided leave out Bakuguo. No need to spoil the good mood with that.
"Either way...I'm fairly certain I racked up enough points to pass."
"My baby boy...in UA academy...I am SO proud of you! I'm going to make your favorites tonight! You've earned it!"
"Awww...mom..thanks your the best."
Just then we heard the door being unlocked.
"Wait...could it be..."
The door then opens to reveal a man with short black curly hair and black hair...and freckles...
"Da..."
"Well well. Heya champion. Long time now see." He said putting out a cigarette he was smoking.
"DAD!" I rush to him and embrace him tightly.
"Honey!" I heard my mom yell and run toward us and join in the hug.
I felt dad's embrace us both.
"Ahhh...missed you two so damn much..." Dad spoke in a soft tone.
"Hehehe...swear jar..." I said.
"I'll leave an IOU in it."
"Oh you just never change do you?" Mom smiled.
"And that's why we're still married correct?" He said cupping her chin.
"You bullheaded man.~"
"You cutie.~"
"AHEM." I clear my throat.
"Right, right, sorry. Anyways guess who's job is now closer to home?" He smirked at us.
"Really?!" I exclaimed.
"Honey..." Mom almost couldn't believe it.
"That's right. No more out of state or over seas crap. I'm back with my family. Where I should be."
"Oh Hisashi!" Mother cried harder hugging dad tighter.
"Hehehe...look at us...we're a mess...sniff..." I wipe my eyes being overwhelmed with emotion."
"Hehehe...well let's say we all pull it together and have a long over due family dinner?" He chuckled.
"Yeah totally!"
"Yes, yes of course!" Mother agreed teary eyed.
No one's POV:
Inko and Izuku both walked off the kitchen but Hisashi took a few moments to take off his shoes and leave them by the door.
Hisashi: "( I truly am curious to see how you use this power my son...whether you choose to life this world up or watch it burn...I will love you all the same. )"
A wide crooked smile crept on his face as he made his way to the kitchen to join his wife and son.
*With Minoru.*
Minoru's POV:
I was on my way back home from the whole entrance exam. Man my heart is still pounding from all that...though it was pretty intense. Like super mega intense...still can't believe that energy ball attack ACTUALLY WORKED...
It was just a idea I had from a video game...huh. A lot of things from video games and anime have really been helping me get a hold on this power. Heh...who says video games or anime can't teach you anything?
I smiled to myself ready to arrive home and tell my mom all about the exam but my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a very loud yet familiar...
"HELLO!" All Might's voice suddenly boomed out of nowhere.
I then nearly jump out my shoes as All Might just appeared in front of me.
"JESUS, All Might..." I grip my chest trying to regain my composer.
"Hahahahaha! I apologize young Mineta!" He laughed and reverted back to his scrawny form while spitting out blood as well.
Seriously that CANNOT be good for him...
"Heya man...wassup?
"Cough, cough...Ahem. Well first off...just wanted to congratulate you kid. I was completely blown away watching you back there. Your quick control over One for All is seriously amazing. Oh and that skill you used! That energy blast...how did you manage that?"
"Oh well...hehehe..." I try to find the words through my joy of All Might's praise.
"A fighting game character kinda inspired it. You see the character has this like fireball projectile that he fires using like um..what's it called? Ki? Chi? Either one of those and channels it between his palms and fires it forward."
"Huh...I see...and what made you think you could pull that off with One for All?"
"Weeeeell...you said this quirk was a stockpiling power quirk...so I must have a lot of energy inside me right? I thought what if I could project that energy out, instead of just through out my body?"
"...Huh...never really thought of that. Pretty clever Mineta!"
"Hehehe...thanks...Full Cowl and that Burst attack were both inspired by some anime and video games I was really into...I just added my own touches to it. Even the movements I used on the robots." I chuckle.
"Well they really really worked." He smiled widely at me.
"Yeah they did...and I'm glad...cause I made you proud...right?" I lower my head shoving my hands into my pockets.
I then feel him place his hands on my shoulders. I then look up at him...
"MORE then proud. More then you could imagine."
"All Might...ehehehe..." I wipe my eyes smiling like a dweeb.
"Thanks man...seriously."
"No. Thank you. Seeing you grow so fast...it really puts my weary bones at ease."
"Well I'm just trying to reach the bar you set for me."
"I see...listen. Don't rush or push yourself too far, just to impress me. The progress you've made thus far is already impressive. Just keep it at your own pace. Your honestly doing great."
"...Pffff...hahaha...hahaha..." I couldn't hold back a laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing it's just...I just never expected to do this good on dumb luck and pulling from knowledge from stupid crap I do in my spare time. Hehehe...it's just really funny to me."
"Well, even the most trivial of things can potential teach a lesson."
"Ha! Ain't that the truth?!" I slapped my knee.
"Hahaha! Cough cough...Listen Minoru I..just wanted to say congrats and...be careful okay?"
I frowned a bit seeing the worried look in his eyes...also there was a drop in his tone...something was off.
"Everything okay dude?"
"Yes, yes just fine. I just want you to be sure to watch yourself. You tend to get into trouble every so often."
Couldn't argue with em there, but I'm convinced there's more to that...guess I'll let it go for now.
"Right. Yes sir don't worry!"
"Great. Good...now then. I should go. I have somethings to attend to. See you later Mineta." He smiled and walked passed me waving.
"Later dude!" I wave and smile back as he faded into the distance.
I then turn and heave a big sigh.
"Welp, back home for me. Though I really do wonder what the heck had him so worried about? Eh...probably worried about me and my urges...wouldn't blame em."
I cringed walking the rest of the way back home. I got my keys out and opened the door but as soon as the door opened...
*POP!*
A loud popping sound erupted and confetti was sent spraying at me.
"GAAH!" I jump with my heart in my chest.
"Surpriiiiiiiiise and welcome home!~" My mother Suki shouted holding a party popper.
She was about my height with just being 3 inches taller. She looked just like me, but with long purple hair that reached her waist, she had on her favorite yellow sweater on, her pearl necklace, a white semi long skirt, and brown belly flats.
"Good god mom, stop doing that..." I say gripping my chest trying to calm down.
"Whaaaat? Can't a mother give her rad boy a proper welcome home after a BIG exam?!" She smirked ear to ear.
"Siiiigh...Whatever." I roll my eyes closing the door and locking it.
"Weeeell? How did it go? Well? Amazing? Incredible? Extravagant? GOD TIER?!~" Mom enthusiastically asked.
"Mooom..." I groaned.
"It was god tier. Am I right? Am I right or am I right?" She placed her hands on her hips still smiling.
I then cross my arms and raise an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah. I'm right.~" She then pinched my cheek.
"You are impossible..."
"It's one of my many appealing qualities." She then skips to the coach and sits.
"Well?" She said.
"Well what?" I tilted my head.
"What do you mean?! You know you HAVE to tell how it all went down! Come on! Tell me how you completely DESTROYED the competition!"
"Okay okay..." I then sigh in defeat and sit next to her.
"To be honest...I did better then I was expecting!"
"OOOH!~ How so?! Come on! DETAILS!"
"My new power made it fairly easy...I was smashing robots left and right!"
"That's my boy! Shifting gears and kicking rears! Still have no idea where this new quirk suddenly came from, but I sure as am NOT complaining!~" She beamed with a radiant smile.
"Hehehe...me either...hehe..." I laugh nervously...
Definitely can't tell her the truth...good thing my mom goes with the flow.
"Oh yeah also made and new friend and even saved a cute girl with him!"
"Oh tell me that was recorded!" She pleaded.
"I'm sure it was but...I don't think I could my hands on it.." I kinda busted her bubble.
"Bummer. Though I'm sure it was spine tingling."
"Tell me about it." I smiled.
"Who was this friend?"
"Oh yeah, Izuku Midoriya."
"Well he sounds amazing, buuuuut...not as amazing as you honey.~"
"Hehehe...he actually was really..."
"No way! Your the best around!~ No one's ever gonna keep ya down!~" She said in a sing song voice.
I couldn't help but laugh at my mothers goofiness.
"Was the girl okay though?"
"Oh yeah, she was totally fine. Nothing broken. No blood."
"You get her number?~" Mom teased me.
Minoru: "No, no. Wasn't there for girls, just there to pass." I held my arms up.
"GASP...Look at YOU!~ Finally buckling up?"
"Have too...hehehe...gotta change sometime..."
"I saw that you cleared out a lot of the crap in your room. VERY impressed my kiddo."
"Hehe...thanks mom."
"Soooooo does this mean your giving up on girls?"
"No way." I quickly answered.
"HA! Figured."
"BUT...I will be a lot more subtle about it. More restrained."
"There ya go Minoru. I won't lie, I was really getting worried about you. However you really started shaping up seemingly out of no where. I dunno what kicked you in gear but it sure as hell worked." She put a hand on my shoulder.
"Let's just say I had some help." I smirked.
"Well that help was really good help." She crossed her arms.
"Plus ultra help."
"OOOOH gonna have to tell me all about that some other time. For now...how's your favorite meal for dinner sound?~"
"I'd totally let that party popper scare go."
"Oh stop it, you thought it was funny."
"Siiiigh...Not one bit." I roll my eyes.
"Didn't deny it, so that shall be considered as yes. Hahahaha!~"
"Whatever...I'll be in my room. Call me when dinner is ready." I stood up.
"Can do sweetie. Go relax. You earned it little grape trooper."
"Will you quit call me that?" My eye twitched a bit.
"Neveeeeeeeeeeeer." She then walked into the kitchen and out of my sight.
She is one real piece of work...guess I see where I get it from. I then head off to my room to rest. Today was one Hell of a day, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have fun. I'm learning to control and use One for All pretty decently. Just keep it up Minoru. You got this.
I then make it into my room and plop down on the bed.
"Now I just wait for my results. I'll be a few days...sooo...what to do in the mean time?"
Hmmm...I'll figure something out. However for now...quick power nap. I then shut my eyes and quickly drifted off.
*With Izuku.*
No one's Pov:
The boy laid on his bed staring at the ceiling still thinking about the events of the exam. He just couldn't get over how exciting it all was. He was truly living his dream...however he wasn't there just yet...he had to wait for his results...then UA academy. That's where it all truly started.
Pzzz! Pzzz!
His phone peeped. He then grabbed it and looked it...it was a text from Chizome.
Chizome text: Hello Midoriya.
Izuku smile and texted back.
Izuku text: Hi Sensei.
Chizome text: So how did the exam go? Well I'd hope.
Izuku text: I did amazing! XD
Chizome text: That's good to hear. =D
Izuku text: Not only did I make two new friends, I saved another person!
Chizome text: You really are coming into your own. I'm glad.
Izuku text: This is all thanks to you...thank you so much teacher.
Chizome text: I just did what I thought was right.
Izuku text: Still...thank you anyways. Thanks a million.
Chizome text: You're welcome. Now get some rest. I'm sure your tired. I'll speak with you tomorrow.
Izuku text: Yes sir. See you tomorrow.
Chizome text: Until then Midoriya.
Izuku then set his phone away and smiled to himself and he shut his eyes...slowly drifting off.
*With Stain.*
"Siiigh...Hmph. I guess Midoriya may be right. Maybe...just maybe...I've misjudged this new generation."
He leaned against a tree watching the setting sun.
"Maybe...through my own disappointment...bitterness...and own experiences...I've passed an unfair judgement."
"...Maybe I've let my own personal experiences blind me from seeing the whole truth."
Stain remained silent...he was truly internally conflicted...for the first time in years he was...so unsure. He began questioning everything he believed in...and even doubting himself.
Midoriya had truly changed somethings within him. That he couldn't deny. However to truly understand these new thoughts and ideals...he would have to listen Midoriya more.
"Yes. He deserves a chance. If he truly thinks this generation is simply misguided...then I shall believe in his word."
"Siiiiiiiigh...Sorry sis..." He sighed as the sun slowly set.
To be continued...
