Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
The Entrance Exam!
The time for the entrance exam had finally arrived, and Keita, plus Himiko were ready for the challenge ahead. Keita wondered what kind of exams they were actually going to do, Himiko seemed to be just permanently happy.
Getting to the building before them where they'd take the exam, Himiko waved her hands up and down, a cute grin on her lips.
"Look at the size of it Kei-chan! It's so big, and I can't help but feel amazing from it!"
Himiko showed her excitement, while Keita himself looked intrigued.
Seeing the many people that where going into the building, it was surprising for him.
Keita was then tapped on the shoulder by Sir Nighteye, who was with Mirio, and Eri beside them.
"Then we'll leave you here. Good luck Keita, Himiko-san. Remember to do your best, read the situation and take the best course of action."
"Yup! Got it~"
Himiko grinned, as Keita nodded.
"Yes...I just can't believe it, that we're actually here."
"Don't worry! You're going to be great!"
Mirio cheered, Keita gave a light hearted smile.
"Thank you very much~"
Eri took Keita's hand and gently pulled it.
"Kei-chan, do your best okay?"
Keita nodded with a resolute look on his face.
"Got it, leave it to me."
With that, Keita watched as she and the others left, leaving Himiko and Keita alone.
Himiko seemed alright with what was happening, and just showed a happy smile.
On the other hand, Keita was thinking about many different scenarios, and what could and couldn't be happening on that day. He thought that he'd be able to show the results of his training for all of the months they had training.
As they went to move forward, Katsuki came walking over, and placed a hand in his own hand, glancing at Himiko who did the same.
"Who're you?"
Katsuki demanded, Himiko stuck out her tongue.
"Hehe, my names Himiko~ Nice to meet you~"
"Relation to Keita? Sister?"
"Nope, lover~"
Katsuki scowled as Himiko showed a dangerous smile.
"Lover?"
"Yup, lover~"
"Hmph, I don't think so."
"Hmph, I do~"
She mimicked with a higher toned voice, and a cute expression on her face.
Shaking her neck side to side, Katsuki turned to Keita.
"Keita, lets go."
"Yup, lets go Kei-chan!"
"Ke-Kei-chan?"
Katsuki stuttered ever so slightly, Himiko giggled wildly.
"Yup, that's right~ He's my Kei-chan and as my Kei-chan, I shall call him that~"
"He's my Kei, so don't even start wild hair!"
Himiko backed away with a grin, a grin that went right through Katsuki's core.
Keita though gained an interested look, smiling as he poked her cheek.
"Kacchan, I'm your Kei now? Since when?"
"Since always!" As she yelled it, Izuku came walking up from behind them. "Great, now this little bastard...first wild hair, and now damn Deku...I can't...I just can't do it..."
Keita gave an intrigued look to Katsuki, then waved to Izuku.
"Izuku-kun! Good morning!"
"Y-Yes! Good morning! A-Are you ready for today?"
Keita nodded with determination, and thrusted his fists out, slightly surprising Izuku by his enthusiastic attitude.
"Yup, I am very ready for this experience to happen! So, let me say I'm really happy right now~"
"Me too!" Himiko cheered, inspecting Izuku's face. "So you're Kei-chan's friend? That's really nice, I am happy to see you both being quite...what's the word...erm...hmmmm, maybe it's happy or something like that? Either way, good luck friend of Kei-chan!"
"O-Oh! Yes, good luck to you! Erm..."
"I'm Himiko! I am Kei-chan's girlfriend~"
Keita lightly smiled as Katsuki growled dangerously.
"You are NOT his girlfriend wench!"
"Did you just call me a wench?"
"That I did!" Katsuki wrapped her arms around Keita's arm. "Come on Kei, we're going!"
"Hehe, it seems I'm being challenged, that's alright with me~"
Himiko grinned, and took Keita's other arm.
Izuku looked between them, seeing Keita in the middle, and he looked rather...intrigued by what was going on.
Then they took him away into the building.
As they did though, Keita saw that Izuku had tripped, but a girl beside him had caught him with her Quirk. Intrigue came over him, wondering what was going on with that.
But as he looked, he saw Mirko in the distance, waving him over.
"Aah, Himiko-chan, Kacchan. You two go ahead, I've got someone I need to see."
"Not another damn woman is it?"
Katsuki spoke up, with Himiko giggling and having to get in some goodness into the conversation.
"Your tone is always angry, you should learn to smile more~"
Katsuki sent a glare at Himiko who grinned and winked.
Keita got out of their grasp, and they went inside, arguing all the way.
Walking towards Mirko, he pulled up beside her. When he did, she placed a hand on his shoulder, and gave a confident smirk.
"Looking at you now, seems like you've become stronger." Her arms went across his arms, and then his face. "Become more manly than before, you're definitely maturing. Though, you've still got that cute aspect that I find great~"
"Mirko-san...thank you for coming. I know you must be busy..."
"Naaah...well, yeah, I should be working right now. But, I had to at least wish you luck~ If you get the highest scores, how about I kiss you?"
Keita did a spit take.
"W-What?!"
Mirko continued to smirk, placing her hand on his face once more, and lightly ran her smooth fingers across his skin, his face flushing at her gentle touch, along with her incredible beauty that she was showing.
"Right, I'll be showing you a nice kiss between us, isn't that great? Don't you want to?"
She teased, as he blushed ever so slightly.
"T-That's...I haven't even really...erm..."
"So cute." Mirko leaned towards his face, and poked it with her fingers. "Don't worry, I'll definitely kiss you if you keep impressing me. I like a strong and capable man, Keita."
"Y-Yes! I'll do my best!"
Mirko grinned from ear to ear, hugging Keita's head, and placed it to her chest.
His face erupted with redness, spreading across his face, as her hands rubbed the back of his head.
"Not many people get to put their heads there, you know?"
"I-Is that so?"
"That's right, I get to hold onto a young boy like this, a strong man at that. Keep getting stronger, Keita. And make sure you win."
"Understood!"
Keita smiled out, pulling away from her bust, as she continued to grin.
"Then, I'm off! Have fun!"
With that, a single bounce, and she was out of there.
Keita could feel himself blushing even more at her words, it truly was quite the sight.
At the same time, Sir Nighteye arrived in the monitor room with Eri, and Mirio, seeing that Ryukyu and Nejire had also appeared, and were watching the screens.
They also saw the Principal sat in the room, along with some other teachers, each of them looking over the situation before them.
Even though they hadn't started the exams just yet, it seemed as if they were getting excited for the prospects of new Quirks that could be shown, the future generation. Sir Nighteye himself could only wonder how Keita was going to do, though he had every confidence that he was going to be alright.
"Nejire-san!"
Nejire's ears perked up.
Her eyes brightened, and her face lifted into a giant grin that looked like a thousand suns.
"Ooh! Did I hear the call of my friend~? Eri-chan's here!"
Nejire turned, opening her arms, and allowed Eri to jump forward. Nejire embraced Eri, and keenly patted her head.
Sir Nighteye overlooked Ryukyu, seeing her slightly shy demeanour.
"I'm surprised you're here."
"Well...I came here to see if Keita-kun is going to be alright."
Ryukyu spoke while averting her eyes, something that Sir Nighteye noticed, wondering more about the reasons she was there.
"I see...you seem to have become quite close to Keita recently."
Ryukyu's face turned a cute pink colour, shaking her head in denial of anything she could be feeling.
"N-No, we're just friends, t-that's all."
Mirio leaned closer with a keen eye.
"Hehe, it's alright~ Keita-kun would be happy to receive love~"
"L-Love?! N-No, it's nothing like that! I just wish to make sure that he's okay! And Nejire-san also wished to see him!"
Becoming flustered, Ryukyu turned her neck and looked away.
"It's true! I wanted to show my support for my new friend! He's so cute and cuddly that I can't help myself! I want to hug him tightly, and learn more and more about him! It's going to be great when we get to know one another!"
Nejire squealed out, she seemed to be rather happy with what was happening at that moment.
Mirio smiled happily, as Sir Nighteye spotted All Might in the corner.
Giving an acknowledged nod of their heads, neither had to say anything, and wished good luck to the students that were before them. Sir Nighteye then sat down beside Mirio, and looked to the monitors, waiting for what was going to happen next.
Finally arriving at the giant room, Keita looked around for Himiko and Katsuki. As he did, his eyes caught the sight of all sorts of students going into the room. It was amazing in his eyes that so many people had come about.
He also saw a blonde haired young man moving closer, a smug look on his face. As he walked by Keita, he just continued to smirk, it seemed he had some kind of pride in himself, or pride in the situation he was in.
Either way, Keita walked forward, skipping down some stairs, searching for Katsuki and Himiko.
As he was searching, a girl with a side ponytail on the left hand side of her head, orange hair colour, and teal eyes.
When she was going to sit down, she caught the sight of a familiar brown hair.
She remembered it from over a year ago now.
Looking towards it, she saw his face.
Though it had matured a bit, she could tell it was the same person.
The one that had saved her from being killed.
"...So he did come after all...there's no mistaken...that's the boy...he's the one that I'm..."
She murmured, and went to follow...but she stopped herself.
She wasn't sure what she was even going to say.
She watched as he walked further away. Wondering how she was going to approach him, she wished to give her thanks.
Eventually, Keita found Izuku, so he walked over. As he drew closer, he heard angry words such as "Don't even wild hair!" and "Hehehehe, are you really going for Kei-chan like that?" among other things, Keita had found them.
Sitting down beside Izuku, he gave him a light smile.
"I saw you outside before, with that girl."
Izuku waved his hands in front of his face shyly.
"I-I don't know what you mean! I just...erm...I was just ehehehe..."
"So, did you...get her number maybe?"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh?! N-No! I didn't at all!"
"Are you shy with girls Izuku-kun?"
Izuku didn't refute it, poking his fingers together shyly.
"M-Maybe a little...I wish I had that kind of...confidence Keita-kun…"
"I'm sure you will Izuku-kun! Keep going forward and make sure that you can grow in confidence!"
Izuku truly wished that he could do the same thing as Keita, it was amazing to see that he was alright with whatever life threw at him.
Katsuki and Himiko noticed Keita sitting close by, so they both went towards him, Katsuki shoved Izuku out of the way and held onto Keita, with Himiko on the opposite side, and was holding onto him as well.
"Kacchan, that's not nice."
"Grrr..." She growled, but Keita gave her a soft smile, so she quickly turned to Izuku. "Fine, sorry Deku." Izuku was bewildered that she would say that. She then turned back to Keita. "See? I apologized didn't I?"
"Hehe, I guess that you did Kacchan~"
Katsuki huffed, and continued hugging onto his arm, as Himiko stuck out her tongue at Katsuki. Katsuki saw it, and stared with an annoyed expression on her face, she wasn't thrilled that Himiko was doing that.
But then, the atmosphere changed, when the lights of the auditorium went down, and a few were left on the center stage, illuminating the path.
The logo for U.A appeared on a large screen, and standing there was someone who looked to be into punk rock, or something like that. He had his hair styled upwards, and it was blonde, with the same coloured mustache.
"What's up U.A candidates? Thanks for tuning into me, your schools DJ!" His voice was loud, almost too loud for some ears. "Lemme hear ya?!"
No one said anything, while Keita looked around.
Seeing no one saying anything, he went to speak, but Katsuki shook her head.
"Kacchan, why not?"
"Lets just leave him alone."
"Still...who is he anyway? He said he's a DJ?"
"H-Hey, Keita-kun, that's the Voice Hero Present Mic, you know?"
Izuku whispered, probably seeing the lost look that was on Keita's face.
"Oh...so he is a Hero huh? He's quite loud, which makes sense for him to be the Voice Hero."
"I think he's kind of weird~ My ears hurt now~"
Himiko cheered out, with Keita giving an amused smile as Izuku played with his own hands, mumbling things about the situation around him, Keita hearing his voice and could tell that he was probably nervous about what was currently happening.
It seemed to weigh on the man called Present Mic a little bit, as he placed a hand to his ear, but no one said anything at all.
Not being discouraged, he continued.
"No one's talking huh? Well, that's fine! I'll just get into the thick of things! Lets talk about the practical exam everyone!"
"Ooh my God, I listen to his radio show everyday! He's so cool, and his hair is amazing and everything about the way he speaks is so..."
Izuku went on a ramble, while Katsuki growled in annoyance. Himiko glanced at Izuku curiously, before turning her neck away from him, Keita thought muttered "Did he just say his hair is amazing?" and saw that Izuku was off in his own world, something he found rather funny.
Present Mic continued on, making a pose with his body, jabbing his finger up to the air.
"Like your application said you rocking girls and boys will be performing a ten minute mock battles in suburban settings!"
"Ten minutes huh...doesn't seem like a lot of time Kei-chan."
"Should be plenty of time." Katsuki turned to Himiko. "Unless you can't handle it."
Himiko huffed.
"Plenty of time for me, I was just worried about you sweetie~"
Katsuki growled, tightened her hand.
"Don't push it, I'll fight you, if you want me too."
"We're not supposed to be fighting one another, we should be prepared to fight the enemy before us Kacchan~"
"I never said you could call me that!"
"Hehehehe! I think it's a good name! My Kacchan is so adorable~"
"Grrrrr! Don't even start!"
As they argued, Present Mic continued happily.
"After I drop the mic here, you'll head for your specific battle center! Sound good?" The area went quiet again. "Okay!?"
He said once more, hoping that everyone was listening.
But he didn't get a reply.
"I kind of feel sorry for him, it seems that he isn't winning over the students."
Keita murmured to Izuku who chuckled awkwardly.
"S-Seems so yes..."
"That's his own damn fault for being so loud! He shouldn't be so stupid!"
Keita glanced down at Katsuki who looked on towards the front without making eye contact with Keita.
Then, students were given rectangular cards which was the exam ticket, with a specific battle ground on them. Keita took a look at his own, seeing his picture, his examinee number, and saw that he was in the A block.
His eyes went towards Izuku's card, and saw that he was in the B block.
"Oh, I was hoping we'd be together Izuku-kun. But it seems that we aren't."
Izuku looked at his own card, and then at Keita's who held it up for him to see.
"Yeah, we're in different sectors, that's a shame."
"Give me your card."
Katsuki snatched Keita's card off him, so Keita lightly smiled.
"Honestly, you need to ask kindly~"
Katsuki seemingly ignored him, and continued looking over his card.
"Block A...damn it, I wont be in your Block…"
"Kei-chan, I'm in Block C, what about you?"
Himiko wondered, Keita nodded, and turned towards her.
"Block A-"
"You're in Block C?!" Katsuki snapped, Himiko confirming it with a nod of her head. "Ooh come on...first I'm not with Kei, now I'm with you..."
"Hey, you could do worse than me."
"Really?"
Himiko stuck out her tongue in a cute manner at Katsuki, as Present Mic continued.
"Okay! Okay! Lets see your targets!" On the screen, a city block design came on, though it seemed to be in the fashion of a game. "There are three types of faux Villain's in every battle center! You'll earn points based on their level of difficult. Your goal is to use your Quirk and vanquish these foes, by shredding them to pieces! But, keep your heroic side, and don't attack others, as it is a no-no in U.A, you got it?"
Keita overlooked the robots, seeing the different levels of points he could obtain. He glanced at Himiko who seemed passive about it, she seemed to be alright with fighting robots, Katsuki seemed determined, and Izuku was just star struck about being in this kind of situation in the first place.
Though he had to wonder about other people and their Quirks that didn't give them physical abilities or the ability to cause massive amounts of damage. It's something that Keita thought would be quite difficult for those students to pass the exam.
So, he raised his hand.
"Sir, if I may ask something?"
"Yes kid? What is it?"
Present Mic answered and questioned at the same time.
The lights shined down on Keita, who looked between everyone.
"Yes, I was just curious about the robot fights. What if someone had a Quirk that didn't have destructive capabilities, yet would be quite useful during the line of Hero duties?"
"Ah...well, erm...these exams were designed to be...fair for all students."
"Fair for destructive powers...I suppose." Keita mused, thinking about Himiko's Quirk and also Izuku's, as he was currently aware, lack of Quirk. "But it doesn't seem fair for those who have destructive powers, yet had Quirks that would be immensely useful as a Hero."
"Eeh...w-well...I-I guess...b-but this is how it is! Either destruction of the robots, or immobilizing them is allowed."
Keita wasn't exactly sure of that answer, it didn't seem all that fair to people like Himiko, Izuku or anyone else.
Himiko's ability would be great as a stealth Hero and an infiltration Hero, yet she didn't have destructive capabilities like some others. But, she was still skilled, and could contend with a good number of people just with her ability of hand to hand and knife combat.
Izuku on the other hand, while Keita wasn't aware of his Quirk that he had gained, he wasn't sure if Izuku would be able to handle it, and hoped during the months, that he'd finally be able to either find a way for him to fight, or somehow developed a Quirk. Though Keita wasn't sure how that would actually happen at his age.
Then, a youth with glasses and bluish hair stood up tall. He held up the same printout that the others had, and held it up, showing four different types of enemies.
"If I may ask a question. On the printout, four enemies have been listed, not three." He began, turning his eyes to the teacher. "With all due respect, if this is an error on official U.A materials, it is shameful! We are exemplary students! We expect the best from Japan's most notable school!" His head turned towards Izuku, who looked on with a worried expression, especially as the man's hand pointed at him. "Additionally you, with the unkempt hair!"
"M-Me?"
Izuku pointed to himself, seeing the eyes of the blue haired boy on him.
The boy with blue hair continued on, keeping up with the strict sound of his voice.
"You've been muttering this entire time…" His hand went towards Keita, who smiled gently. "You and your friends have also been speaking loudly. We are attempting to get into a prestigious school, and you're..."
Katsuki and Himiko turned towards him, the former glaring and the latter staring with a scary smile.
Keita merely just looked at him with a tilted neck, swaying said neck side to side.
The young man felt the intense stares and glares, turning his head down, and placed a hand over his mouth.
"Awww, he looks scared right now. How adorable~"
Himiko grinned, the boy quickly sat down, and kept his eyes away from Himiko.
Present Mic then spoke up once more.
"As you can see, these ones will be put onto the field, but they aren't worth any points. They're there for an obstacle, a trap, of sorts. A faux Villain as it where. Avoid these ones, there's no points for them." Present Mic cheerfully announced, then raised his hand into the sky. "I'll sign you off with a little present! A sample of our schools motto! As General Napoleon Bonaparte once laid down "A true Hero is the one who overcomes life's misfortunes!" You ready to go beyond! PLUS ULTRA!"
Once again, no one said anything, Present Mic looked depressed as he bowed and walked off the stage.
Keita could see the depressed look on his face, due to the fact that no one seemed to be encouraging him, so he yelled "Thanks for the info Present Mic! Very useful! Go Plus Ultra like you said!" bringing Present Mic's attention towards Keita, and gave a thumbs up.
"Keep going kid! I'm sure you'll do great!"
Keita gave a cheery smile, and waved his hand side to side.
"Then I guess this is where we say goodbye Kei-chan~" Himiko leaned forward, gently kissing his cheek to the ire of Katsuki. "Good luck~"
"Yes, good luck~"
Himiko twirled, and walked away.
At the same time, Katsuki grabbed Keita's collar, pulling him towards her, her free hand went towards his butt, and her lips pressed against his cheek, feeling both of her touches, caused a mild flush to erupt on his cheeks, Katsuki also held a small blush on her face as she felt him from behind.
"Right...then do your best, I wont accept anything else!"
"Right, see you later~"
Keita waved off Katsuki, who scowled at Himiko who was walking away.
He then turned to Izuku.
"Izuku-kun, are you going to be okay doing this?"
Since Keita was unaware of what had happened with All Might, and him, Izuku had to smile lightly.
"A-Actually, while I am nervous...Keita-kun, I'm going to have a surprise..."
"Surprise? Did you find a way to become strong? Was it because of that personal trainer of yours?"
"Ehehehe...s-something like that. J-Just watch me Keita-kun, I'll do my best, and I'll show you that I will become a Hero."
"Show...me? Why would you show me?" Izuku seemed confused, as Keita pulled closer, placing a hand on his shoulders. "I already knew you could become a Hero, it's time to show everyone else in the world."
"Y-Yes...I'll do my best, Keita-kun. You too...okay?"
"Right, I'll do my best!"
Izuku smiled and bowed his head, walking off as Keita did the same thing to get ready to participate in the exams.
A small time later, Keita changed into his gym clothes, and was preparing his bed with some stretches. He could see a good number of candidates that were around, he saw a woman with vine like hair, he saw a man with hardened skin as he thrusted out his hands side to side. He also saw that blonde haired boy once again, giving him a weird smirk.
As it happened, the girl with orange hair ended up being in the same group, and could see Keita stretching.
She wondered if she should approach him or not.
She could see that he looked rather in the game, so she wasn't sure if she should distract him.
As it happened, the blonde haired boy from before walked closer to Keita, and folded his arms.
"So, what are you doing here?"
Keita looked towards him curiously.
"The same as everyone else, trying to get into the Hero Course."
"Haha! Is that so? They don't let in weaklings, you know?"
Keita could see that he meant him when the boy said 'weaklings' and rather than be offended, Keita tried to understand what he was actually meaning, and how he'd know anything about him in the first place.
"I guess, though how would you know if I'm weak or strong? Have you seen me before or something? I don't remember seeing you."
"I can tell, you've got that whole innocent thing about you, there's no way that you'd be able to fight."
"I guess we'll see, wont we?"
The boy wasn't sure what to even think about that.
For a moment, he saw something...more behind Keita's eyes.
Rather than being passive, he saw fierce determination and strength.
It was a very big contrast to how he had been acting until that point.
He backed away slightly, as the orange haired girl came over.
"Seriously, what a weirdo." She spoke briefly, before turning back to Keita. "Hey, it's...ehe...it's..." As she looked him over, she began to blush lightly, recalling what he did for her all that time ago. "...that guy, he's a total tool sometimes, huh? I saw him saying it to some others as well. I guess he's probably trying to psych people out or something to give himself an edge. Maybe he's just the type to do things like that."
"Really? Maybe, but I feel it's something more deeper than that." Keita chortled, rubbing the back of his head. "Also, I'm sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Keita Chisaki, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please call me Keita."
"Keita...so your name is Keita-kun...nice to meet you, my name is Itsuka Kendo, please call me Itsuka."
"Itsuka-san." He smiled out, looking fully at her face, then furrowed his eyebrows. "Hey, have we met before? Your face looks familiar to me."
Itsuka's heart almost skipped a beat.
Did he remember her?
Before she could say anything though, Present Mic's voice boomed through the sound systems.
"Right! It's time to test your mettle against the robots, do your best, and fight to your hearts content!" Present Mic encouraged. "There's no countdowns in real battle! Get too it right now!"
The giant doors before them finally opened, and immediately, everyone went forward.
Keita stepped back for a moment, then recalled what Sir Nighteye said.
About how he should do his best.
How Mirko also said it.
How the others would be doing it.
"Right, then lets do it."
Keita shot into the city area, placing his hands on the ground, and used Rewrite on it.
As soon as he did, everyone in the immediate area began feeling the ground shaking. It wasn't like an earthquake, the actual ground was moving around like ripples in water after someone disturbs it, all emanating from Keita's hands.
"Time to be finished!"
Keita flicked his hands on the ground, causing said ground to erupt into many spikes around himself, shooting for the robots at such speeds that Itsuka was astonished, watching the control over the ground and how they came out, piercing right through the robots before him, and beside him as well.
As they did, he announced "POWER!" while thrusting his fist forward, then looked down at himself, and murmured "Mirio-san...it's kind of embarrassing." shaking his head.
Itsuka who was watching on, was definitely impressed.
Looking down at her hands, then towards the stone that had ruptured the robots easily, she was more determined than before.
"Wow...he's definitely grown stronger since that time he saved me...it's like completely different, he's trained hard."
The boy from before, the blonde, was astonished also, but also looked horrified.
"H-Holy crap...he's able to produce such fast attacks...he's strong..."
The blonde couldn't even think.
Seeing Keita taking out over 8 robots in a single attack, the boy backed away slightly, and lowered his body so he didn't get in the crossfires of Keita's Quirk, the destructive force of the Quirk being something he didn't think someone as sweet as Keita would be capable of doing.
"Amazing...what a man!"
The boy with hardened skin cheered out, turning to Keita, and developed a happy face, seeing that there were strong people in the entrance exam.
The vine haired girl cupped her hands together.
"Being able to manipulate the earth, what an interesting power."
She muttered to herself, before Keita stood up, cracking his knuckles side to side.
"Okay then, time to continue. Don't worry Sir Nighteye-san, I'll remember to be both heroic and strong."
With a smile on his face, he continued forward with a strong smile on his face, prepared for what was to come.
In the viewing area, Mirio thrusted his hands upwards, and yelled "POWER!" while looking super happy that Keita actually said it, something that Mirio had asked him to say before the entrance exam began.
"Mirio...did you tell him to yell that?"
Sir Nighteye asked with a curious brow raised up.
"Of course!" Mirio boasted joyfully. "Because it fills people around you with confidence and strength. He was showing it, his POWER!" Mirio struck a pose, something that gave bemusement to Sir Nighteye. "See? It's proving to be effective, others are also trying harder and harder."
As he spoke, Eri was cheering "Yay! Kei-chan! POWER!" as Nejire did it also, to the delight of Mirio.
"Didn't he do well Eri-chan? And he's only just started!"
"Yes, Kei-chan's been trying so hard...I'm so happy Kei-chan can show how strong...he is..."
"Yup, he's gonna be kicking butt now Eri-chan~" Nejire cooed out, swaying her body side to side. "But wow, he's taken the lead. And those two girls, Himiko-chan and Katsuki-chan are also fighting strong too~"
Mirio looked happy about what Keita had done, seeing his score shooting from 0 to double digits instantly.
"Amazing Sir! Look what Keita-kun did!"
"Yes, his speed and power has increased since the beginning, he's grown quite strong."
All Might looked on from his side of the room, and saw how Keita did what he did, and then looked towards Sir Nighteye.
"Amazing...he's made him have quite impressive speed. And the power behind the attacks to pierce through the robots without slowing down, he is a strong contender alright."
As he murmured that out, Ryukyu smiled gently to herself, seeing the potential of Keita.
It seemed that he had come a good way since being stuck with his brother, and was now shining like a star, like he was supposed to do.
Meanwhile, Himiko and Katsuki had just started their own fight through the city. Katsuki and Himiko were glaring away, looking deeply into the other's eyes, while making sure that the Villain robots were being destroyed.
"Alright! Now, it's time to explode these damn robots!"
Katsuki jumped forward, and placed her hand forward, unleashing a powerful explosion, strong enough to shatter through the robots body, ripping a piece of it off, which landed before Himiko.
Himiko bent down, and picked up the piece of metal, seeing how sharp it was, she grinned.
"Heheheheh! Kacchan! Your power gave me a weapon! Thanks!"
Katsuki turned back to her, watching as Himiko came up against a three pointer, it went to attack her, but she used her incredible athletic ability to jump up the robots body, using it as a stepping stone to jump to its own head.
She then watched as Himiko spun the metal around, piercing downwards, and destroyed the robots head, breaking it down, and forced it to eat the ground, jumping off of it, ripping some of the scrap metal off of it, and placed it on her skirt.
"See this Kacchan?"
"What is your damn Quirk? Some kind of body enhancement?"
Himiko giggled, shaking her head.
"Trade secret~ Only a few people know my power~ That includes my Kei-chan you know?"
Katsuki scowled as a robot came up from behind her, so she jumped up, and landed on top of it.
"Well then! Watch this!" Katsuki placed her hands together, then thrusted them down. "Die with an explosion!"
Katsuki's power erupted into a shock wave which destroyed the robots body entirely.
Himiko grinned, looking down at her weapons, then towards Katsuki.
"Is that your full power?"
"Not even close!"
"Then, I can't wait to see your true power Kacchan~"
Katsuki smirked, punching right and left, shooting off two explosions, and caused two robots nearby to be blown away.
Himiko looked mildly amused, taking out her weapon, and then ran forward, jumping up, and brought it down onto the robots body, cleaving through some of its head, enough for it to be brought down to the ground.
"Seriously, why aren't you using your Quirk? Born Quirkless perhaps?"
"Nope, I do have a Quirk."
"Then why aren't you using it!?"
"Because this situation wouldn't allow me to use it, that's why."
"Wouldn't allow you to use it?"
Himiko nodded.
"That's just how it is. It doesn't work with robots, but that doesn't matter. What does, is that I still have my acrobatic skills, and this metal. Hehehehe, it doesn't matter though if I can or can't use my Quirk, I'm going to be showcasing my abilities in the future as well~"
Katsuki wasn't even sure what to think.
A Quirk that couldn't be used on robots, she couldn't even think that a Quirk like that could be powerful.
Though, she wasn't aware on how powerful Himiko's Quirk truly could be.
Back with Keita, he was going forward and saw a robot coming towards him. Coming in for a right jab, Keita dodged out of the way with precise timing, something that Sir Nighteye had helped him achieve, then he grabbed the metal arm, his fingers digging into it thanks to his Quirk bending the metal around it.
"Twist off!"
Keita flicked his hand, and caused the robots arm to become mangled. The mangled arm was then ripped off by Keita's Quirk after a good few seconds, causing the robot to be shut down all together, drawing in the attention of Itsuka once more.
She stood close as she used her own Quirk to enlarge her hands, and grab a few robots, crushing them with her incredible strength.
"Aah, so that's your Quirk. Amazing Itsuka-san!"
Keita grinned out, with Itsuka giving a bashful look.
"N-No, it isn't anything that great..."
Keita denied her, he thought it was pretty cool.
"No, it is! You have strong hands, there's many things you'd be able to do with them. It's a cool Quirk~"
Itsuka didn't consider her Quirk 'cool' but hearing it from Keita, it made her feel a certain kind of way.
"T-Thanks...though your Quirk, I can't seem to figure it out. You twisted that robots arm off, and you also caused the ground to come up and pierce the robots...it seems strong, whatever it is~"
"Hehe, I guess so. It can be difficult to control, but thanks to training with a few people, I've gotten a better control of it."
When Keita was speaking, he saw another robot coming towards him.
He knew it was a three pointer, so he could increase his score.
He went to place his hand on the ground, when the blonde haired boy from before jumped towards him.
"What are you doing?"
"Let me touch you!"
Keita's face drained of colour.
He took it the completely opposite way than the boy was probably taking it.
"No!"
"Come on! I need to touch you!"
"I said no, please respect my decision!"
Keita placed his hand on the ground, and formed a wall before him, blocking off the blonde haired boy.
"Why wont you let me touch you!?"
"I don't even know who you are!"
"My names Neito Monoma! Now, let me touch you!"
Keita didn't seem exactly thrilled about this.
The wild look on his face, how his eyes were gleaming with delight at the idea of touching him.
Though Keita wasn't aware of what Neito's Quirk was, he was more worried that Neito seemed too excited.
"Please don't, I'm not sure what that would do to me. What kind of Quirk you have, it could paralyse me or something."
Itsuka, seeing Neito trying to grab Keita, enlarged her hand, and grabbed a hold of the boy, placing him away from Keita.
"Honestly, stop trying to grab people!"
"It's how I use my Quirk!"
"Even then, you can't go around trying to grab people without explaining! And you shouldn't be so menacing when you're doing it either!"
Neito growled as Keita thanked Itsuka, while running forward through the city.
Rushing towards the center, he saw a few students running around, and destroying robots, it seemed pretty cool to see other peoples Quirks. He found it rather fascinating that he could see how other people did fight.
Continuing his slaughter of some robots, with multiple spikes piercing through them, suspending them all into the air. Tapping the robot, he happily said "Sorry robo~" and went to move, as he heard a small crying sound from behind him.
"There you are!"
Neito jumped Keita from behind.
But Keita managed to duck out of the way, sliding to the right hand side, avoiding the grab, then saw Neito coming back up with his hand to touch Keita, so Keita blocked his hand with his Quirk, using the ground as a makeshift shield and wall all the same time.
"Ooh come on! Give me your Quirk!"
"Give you my Quirk? Is that what your Quirk does?"
Keita asked, but Neito didn't seem to be all that receptive to the idea of actually explaining about his Quirk.
"Ugh...why should I tell you?"
"Because you're not touching me otherwise."
Keita replied with a kind tone, as Neito stared at Keita.
He thought about it, since he couldn't get in close to simply use Keita's power, he'd have to at least explain something's.
"Fine! It allows me to copy Quirks of those I touched. Maybe...Maybe I misjudged your power, maybe you are stronger than I'd like to admit. So...yeah, that's it really...so, give me a little touch of you, then I can actually pass these exams."
Keita moved closer, his hand stretched out.
Neito smirked, and went to touch him, when Keita retracted his hand.
"Hey! Don't tease me!"
"Next time you want something, how about asking for it kindly? Kindness doesn't cost anything, you know?"
Neito didn't look thrilled, but Keita just stared at him, keeping out of hands reach.
Eventually, Neito gave in, and begrudgingly asked.
"...Fine, can I...can I borrow your Quirk...p-please?"
Keita felt it was probably very difficult for him to speak like that.
Neito must have put in a lot of effort for that.
"There, isn't that better than trying to attack people?" Keita allowed his hand forward, and Neito went to touch him, but Keita retracted it at the last moment when a robot came swinging down with its massive arm. "Geez, these guys don't stop."
"Hey! I was about to use your Quirk! Come back here!"
Neito complained as Itsuka came running by to bring down the destruction onto another robot.
Quickly thinking, he touched her arm, and caused his hands to grow in size, Itsuka glanced at him with slight annoyance, as he brought down his fists onto the robot that was attacking Keita, and destroyed it.
"Okay! Now, give me your Quirk!"
Neito asked, but Itsuka shut him down.
"You've got my Quirk, haven't you?"
"I could use more if I wanted to. Besides, he's got an unexpectedly strong power, I want to borrow that kind of power for myself."
He replied, attempting to grab Keita with his enlarged fists, but Itsuka got in the way, and used her own enlarged fists to grapple with Neito's own, Keita giving a curious look between the two of them.
"Sorry, but I'm actually worried on what you'd do with his Quirk."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Neito complained, but Itsuka lightly smiled, and pushed backwards, getting in close to Keita.
"It just means that you seem to have a...wild personality. Maybe you should just keep my Quirk for now."
Neito wasn't pleased, but Keita then ran off together with Itsuka.
"Itsuka-san, this exams going pretty well huh?"
"Yes, though I have to wonder..."
"Wonder, what?"
Itsuka furrowed her eyebrows, she thought about the best way to speak about what was going n inside of her mind right now.
"I don't know, just something doesn't seem right. They said we should be heroic as well as destructive, right?" Keita recalled that. "Well, I guess we'll find out what that actually means in the near future!"
"I'm sure that we will~ Good luck!"
"T-Thanks!"
Itsuka turned her body and ran a different direction as Keita continued the charge.
Minutes passed, and Keita managed to continue the exam, the thoughts of what Itsuka said played on his mind, wondering if there was a deeper meaning to what the Hero's had said, he could feel that it would be something they'd do, that Sir Nighteye wouldn't explain, but he didn't mind, he just acted as he always did, and hoped that would be enough.
Managing to help people out, and also fighting off the robots, Keita was quite content right now, and wondered what his score would be. Though he kept seeing some people that needed help, so that stopped him from destroying as many robots as he had hoped, but he was content with helping people that needed it.
In the middle of the fight, Keita heard a rumbling of the ground.
First, it was quite distant, he didn't think much of it.
But soon, it grew louder, and louder.
Turning his eyes into that direction, he saw what this so-called zero pointer truly was.
The hulking size of it, the thickness of its body. It was at least as tall as a skyscraper, and its robotic red eyes were down onto the students. One after the other, students from all around where running away from the giant robot.
He saw the boy with hardened skin also retreating backwards, and grabbed his arm.
"Come on man, you can't fight that thing. Lets go."
Keita stared at him for a few moments, then smiled.
"Thank you for the concern~ Maybe we should get going."
Keita entertained the idea of fighting the zero pointer.
But in the end, he didn't see any need for it, and began moving backwards.
However, as he began moving back, he saw that the girl with green long hair that was made out of vines, moving backwards, as the giant robot placed his hand onto the building nearby, its incredible strength managed to tear a chunk of it off, which dropped like meteors towards her body.
Keita felt concerned for her, but then saw that she placed her hands together.
"You shall be judged by my vines."
The girl said, her hair coming out of her hair at a rapid rate, forming a wall above her, and caught the rubble, tossing it to the side, something that made Keita smile, he was quite thrilled to see that she was able to do something like that.
But the robot wasn't thrilled with it, turning his hand down, and brought down the powerful fist on top of the vine shield, causing it to be obliterated by the strength of the robot, Keita gasped as the girl fell down to her knees.
"Damn, she needs help."
Keita immediately ran forward, as the hardened skin boy called "Hey! It's dangerous!" but Keita waved him off "Don't worry, I'll be fine!" showing that he was alright with doing this, and wasn't afraid to rush into dangerous situations like this.
The boy pulled back, and smiled "What a cool guy." as Keita saw the robot turning its attention towards Keita, the rubble that remained in its hands, tossed it towards the young man.
Itsuka who was watching nearby, watched Keita taking a stance on the ground, and with very swift movements, he dodged all of the attacks, while pushing forward, weaving through each attack as if it wasn't going to hit him.
One attack went to hit his face, when Keita managed to touch it, causing it to bend around him almost like liquid, and continued on its trajectory, slamming down into the ground, Itsuka blinking at how fast that happened.
"Amazing..."
Itsuka couldn't help but say that.
Keita got in close, with the robot summoning more robots to come and surround Keita. They were one pointers each, but they had him surrounded.
His eyes looked between all of them, before he scraped his foot across the ground, then bent down, twisting his body, causing the ground to erupt into a myriad of spikes, piercing right through each of the robots as they pounced to attack him, the spikes bending to reach other robots that came towards him as well.
Everyone watching was amazed, they couldn't take their eyes off of Keita.
Then the giant zero pointed took its fist, and aimed it for Keita.
The young boy looked up, recalling how Sir Nighteye told him how to deal with stronger opponents, pulled away, flipping back a single time, with the giant fist hitting the earth, a rumbling effect happening because of it.
At the same time, the young green vine haired girl suddenly felt the ground around her moving, taking her away from the danger zone, creating a dome around her for protection, all the while Keita kept the robot busy.
The girl was then brought to the far side of the street, placing her near Itsuka, getting her out of danger.
Itsuka placed a hand on her chin, and thought about what she was seeing.
"So, he was distracting the robot with flashy moves, while his real objective was to get that girl away, that's quite smart, and also must take a good deal of skill to pull something like that off. Heh, he's definitely improved since that time..."
Itsuka watched as did the others, seeing Keita seemingly preparing for something.
Keita cracked his neck side to side.
"Then, if you're ready robot-san. It's time to show you the fruits of my training!"
Keita then placed his hand on the ground, and caused the ground below to become larger and larger. The earth shaped into a giant form of itself as the robot came down with its large fist, Keita timed it precisely, then flicked his hand forward.
The earth shot forward like a wave in pillar form, combatting the hand of the robot, but the strength behind the large pillar completely shattered the arm of the robot, and continued on for its body, splitting the pillar up into several smaller pillars, but their striking power pierced through the robots upper and lower body, in multiple places.
The metal ripped out of the body, falling down to the ground harmlessly.
By using his Quirk, he not only shaped the ground, but turned the ground stronger, harder, so it could pierce metal as if it was simply wood, though it took time and effort to do that, thanks to Sir Nighteye, Keita had begun mastering his ability like this.
Everyone watched with excitement as the pillars shattered apart the robot, wrapping around it, and then formed a sphere, which crushed the robot so no one would get hurt by falling debris, leaving a large sphere of earth around half the height of the robot itself, smashing the metal together inside by forcing the ground to compress.
Keita rotated his shoulder, placing his left hand to his right arm.
"This is a lot better than before training with Sir Nighteye-san, before I wouldn't have been able to use my Quirk in such ways. This is because of your training Sir Nighteye-san, Mirko-san! Everyone! Thank you for supporting me and helping me grow stronger!"
Keita mentally cheered, going towards the young vine girl to see if she was alright.
As he did, the vine haired girl seeing the 'halo' of light from the way the light was positioned behind him. The way the light hit him, the way his eyes displayed happiness and warmth, the aforementioned 'halo' of light, it made her feel as if she was looking upon something that she quite liked to see.
Bending down towards her, he offered his hand.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
The girl looked down at herself, and saw a small cut on her leg.
"When the vines got hit, I must have cut myself by accident."
Keita lightly smiled.
"May I heal you?"
"Heal me…?"
"Yes, I can use my Quirk to fix your injuries. May I do so?"
"Yes...if you can."
Keita placed his hand towards the young woman's leg, and began using his Quirk.
When he did, her mind exploded into new realms of possibilities.
"Moving the earth...protecting my body, and also the power to heal, along with his face appearing cute...it must be, a sign. This boy, must be...yes, it has to be. This boy is someone that I have to understand more."
As she thought it, Keita pulled back, as Present Mic announced [And that's it everyone! The exams have finished!] Keita though continued to smile gently.
"There, you're fixed now."
"Ah...yes, it does seem like that I am fixed. It must be an act of the lord that we met."
"Act...of the lord?"
The girl stood up, bowing her body to Keita.
"My name is Ibara Shiozaki, may I ask for your name?"
"Keita..."
"Keita-sama, that's a nice name."
"S-Sama? No, you don't have to add that to my name~"
He replied, feeling slightly bashful at the way she spoke.
"Even then, Keita-sama appeared in a halo of light, his Quirk allows him to heal, and also move the terrain, it's a sign."
"A sign of..."
Ibara took his hand, a small blush appearing on Keita's face.
"It's a sign that we should become more acquainted with one another. Please, call me Ibara."
"Ibara-san, it's a pleasure to meet you~"
Ibara peered at him, examining him from head to toe, and slowly but surely, it seemed as if something was working its way into her mind. Itsuka looked on, and wasn't sure what to think when it came to Ibara.
Though she thought about approaching Keita, in the end she wasn't sure on how to do such a thing.
After the exams, Keita had found out that Izuku had injured himself, and went to help, but, found out that he had been healed instead by Recovery Girl with her Quirk, and was currently sleeping. All Might appeared, and assured him that he'd be able to look out for him, so he went to go and meet up with the others.
As he went towards the others, Keita came across Ryukyu walking out together with Nejire.
Upon seeing Keita, Ryukyu smiled slightly in a kind and gentle way.
"Ryukyu-san, Nejire-san. I'm surprised you're here."
Nejire giggled, walking forward and hugged Keita tightly. Her body curled against his own, and she groaned excitedly.
"You're so cuddly, that I can't get enough~ I was rooting for you during all of that Kei-chan!"
"Ah, thanks Nejire-san..."
"Hehe, it's time to call me Nejire-senpai once you're in U.A~" Nejire sang out, then leaned to his ear. "Though you can call me Nejire in private~ I wouldn't mind~" Keita ended up lightly blushing as she looked down at the boy. "My, Kei-chan. You're blushing all of a sudden~"
"Am I? I didn't even realize it..."
"That's okay! It's because you're so precious!" Nejire sang out, as she skipped forward, and waved. "Then, I'll meet up with you Ryukyu-chan!"
"Yes, lets meet up soon."
With that, Nejire skipped down the corridor, leaving Keita and Ryukyu alone.
"So...Ryukyu-san, I'm surprised you're here. Did you...come here just for...me?"
Ryukyu, upon seeing Keita's innocent expression, a light blush worked its way onto her cheeks.
But she tried her best to fight it down.
"Y...Yes, I wanted to cheer you on today. Though from the looks of it, it seems as if you've done quite well on your own."
Keita chortled gently, giving a kind smile.
"Thanks very much. It was difficult, and I hope I've done enough to pass."
Ryukyu placed a hand by her mouth, releasing a cute giggle.
"You don't have to worry, seeing your performance today, it's clear that Sir Nighteye-san has trained you quite well." Ryukyu went into the bag she was carrying and brought out what seemed to be some home made cookies. "I made some cookies, I'm not sure how well they'd turn out...but, I heard that you liked chocolate chip."
"I do very much! You didn't have to go out of your way just for me~"
"Ooh no, it's no bother at all."
Keita accepted them as he thanked Ryukyu, taking one of the cookies, and took a bite out of it.
"Wow...it's amazing Ryukyu-san~ You have a talent for cooking~"
Ryukyu developed a slightly bigger blush than before.
"T-Thank you...n-now, I must be going." Ryukyu bowed her neck. "Take care, Keita-san."
"Thanks for coming! Take care Ryukyu-san!"
Ryukyu continued to stare at him for a few moments, before shaking her head, and walked off.
Looking back at the boy, she saw him waving, seeing his smile directed towards her.
She even found herself thinking that his smile, was rather adorable.
Later on, Keita and the others began going home, with Katsuki also heading off in a different direction once her parents showed up, forcing her to leave them alone.
"Mirio-san, I did the power thing. Though, it didn't feel like me."
"I thought that it was amazing!"
Eri looked comfortable she rode of Mirio's shoulders.
"Kei-chan was so cool, seeing his powers, and strength like that..."
"Hehe, thanks Eri-chan~ It was quite difficult, but thanks to training, I've grown stronger~"
"Yes, you've dedicated quite a bit to training." Sir Nighteye turned to Himiko who stuck out her tongue. "You also did very well. Despite not being able to utilize your Quirk, your skills have allowed you to reach good heights, I'm sure that you've gotten in."
Himiko clapped her hands together a single time.
"It was difficult, but I was happy in the end to achieve these things~"
"Indeed. Either way, I'm happy that you both managed to do well. Keita, you also showed quite the skill with your Quirk, showcasing your abilities, and also showing that you'd be willing to help anyone and everyone. That will be a good deciding factor in your future Hero career."
"That's if I get in Sir Nighteye-san."
Sir Nighteye chortled, it seemed as if he wasn't doubting Keita's ability at all.
"I'm sure that you will. Now, since you both did so well...Mirio has told me that ice cream usually is a good treat for this time of year."
"Ooh ice cream! Lets get it!"
Himiko grinned, as Eri turned to Keita.
"Kei-chan...ice cream, I want ice cream too..."
"Haha, then lets get some ice cream everyone!"
Keita cheered, and together, they went to go and get some ice cream.
Keita pondered the exam, and what happened during it.
How he had met new and interesting people.
Though, he wondered what the deal with Neito was.
A week later, Keita and Eri were sat in the living room, watching Himiko dancing to a song on t.v. seemingly quite happily. Eri clapped along, while Keita just smiled at the sight before him, glad that she was quite happy.
Sir Nighteye was currently in his office, catching up on some paperwork that he needed to do.
"Ooh yeah, if you move like this Eri-chan, you can become even better at fighting~"
"Amazing Himiko-chan."
Himiko showed a peace sign to Eri who did the same thing.
But then there was a knock at the door, so Keita excused himself, and went towards it.
Opening said door, he saw that Katsuki had a letter in her hand.
"Mines come, have yours?"
"Postman's not been yet, he should be here soon though."
"Then I'll wait." Katsuki walked inside after Keita invited her in, looking to see that Himiko was there. "You again..."
"Me again~"
Katsuki growled, turning her eyes away from her, and sat down in a nearby chair.
"So, do you live here or something?"
"Yup, I actually do~ Kei-chan and I sometimes even share a bed~"
"You what?!"
"Yeah, are you being cute again Kacchan~?"
"I never said you could call me that wild hair!"
Himiko just laughed Katsuki off, and did a peace sign.
Katsuki became frustrated, and huffed.
Eri glanced at Katsuki, and walked over towards her.
"Hello, my name is Eri. You're Kei-chan's friend, aren't you?"
Katsuki looked down at Eri, then lightly smirked.
"Hello, you're Kei's adopted sister?"
"Errn...yes, I think so."
"I see. Then, my names Katsuki."
"Kacchan."
"K-Kacchan…?" Eri nodded innocently, Katsuki sighed and just went on with it. "...Fine, I'm Kacchan, that's alright if it's you saying it." Keita gave a happy smile to them both. "Anyway, when's the damn postman coming?"
"He'll be here soon~"
Himiko sang out, so Katsuki folded her arms, and waited.
They waited for a good fifteen minutes before the postman finally arrived. Keita went to collect it, coming back with the letters. Giving her own to Himiko, they all opened it to reveal a disc looking device.
"Kei-chan, what's that?"
"It's a hologram disc, I believe."
"Hologram…?"
"It's basically like recording a video, but in small form, and it's like us, so they're visible from all sides at all times. Here, I show you."
Keita activated the disc, and revealed his own version of All Might to the group. Keita then heard his message from All Might.
[It's a pleasure to see you again Young Keita! So, I've been asked this year to give out the results of the exams. And to see you excelling is amazing for me. All those months ago, when I first met you until now, I'm so happy that you've improved both in body and in mind, you have become an astounding person, and I am sure that U.A will only help you progress! So, as you can tell, you have reached it, you have officially become a student of U.A! Your score was quite high, but it wasn't just based on the amount of robots you destroyed, it also was based on the Rescue points system as well as Villain points system. Remember, a Hero has to have both qualities of fighting Villains and helping civilians and your fellow Hero's! Well, that's all I have to say, I'll be seeing you in U.A, your results will be shown after this message! I'm sure you'll want to tell Sir Nighteye!]
With that, the hologram ended, and showed Keita's results.
Showing his Villain and Rescue points, and adding them together at the end.
His Villain points and his Rescue points totaling of 89 points, seeing that he had a good balance of Rescue and Villain points, with the Rescue points being slightly higher.
At the same time, both Katsuki and Himiko did their own hologram with All Might, and then showed their results.
"Heh, 77 points Himiko! I had to pull out all the stops to get that high! How did you do?"
"I got 77 points~"
Katsuki's eyes snapped towards her.
"You couldn't have!"
"Naaah, just kidding~" Himiko giggled, and showed off her score. "My points equaled to 68, from my Villain points, and my Rescue points~ I managed to get a few Rescue points by helping some people out. I even met new people who were adorable~ Wow, it was amazing!"
"Still, I didn't see your Quirk in action and to get that high without a destructive power..."
"Himiko-chan's very skilled, even against robots it seems that she found ways to disable them~"
Keita smiled, as Eri jumped, and hugged him around his neck.
"Kei-chan, you did it! You got in, yes?"
"I-I did yes~ I managed to get in~"
Keita lightly chortled, hugging the young girl tightly.
Keita then turned to Katsuki, and grinned.
"Since I won, does that mean I get to cash in on my bet?"
"Grrr...I guess, so what is it?"
Keita shrugged.
"I don't know yet, when I think of something, I'll let you know angry kitten~"
Katsuki rolled her eyes playfully.
"Fine, I don't care."
Though having said that, Katsuki wondered what Keita was going to do with his side of the bet, and what it meant for her. Though since it was Keita, she was sure that she would be alright with it.
Soon, Sir Nighteye came in, seeing Himiko and Katsuki staring at one another. It wasn't a glare, not exactly, but it wasn't a great stare either.
Keita though walked over to Sir Nighteye, and grinned from ear to ear.
"I got 89 points."
"R-Really? You got 89 points?"
Keita nodded, and showed Sir Nighteye.
"Yes, I did my best, I followed your example, and did it all while smiling and protecting people!"
"Yes...you did amazing Keita, well done. You deserve this, after everything that's happened."
Keita chortled lightly, reaching out his hand, and took his own, shaking it up and down.
"Thank you, Sir Nighteye-san. When I was with...that group, I never would imagine I'd be doing this. That I'd have the chance to become a true Hero too. I wish I could have shown the Boss...and Rappa-san...how far I've come..."
"I'm sure they'd be proud. Now, you've got many possibilities Keita, and with a score like that, I'll be very surprised if you're not the top scorer."
"That doesn't matter to me. If I'm the top scorer or not. I'm just happy that I got in. I trained so hard, and I know I've got a long way to go. But with you beside me Sir Nighteye, I'll become a strong Hero that you can be proud of."
Sir Nighteye shook his head to the confusion of Keita.
"No, I already was, and still am proud of you, Keita."
Upon hearing that, Keita began to tear up.
Not because of what he said, but because…
It finally felt like the shackles around him, were beginning to crumble.
The fact that Kai had been a constant in his life, he did find it difficult to adjust.
But now…
He found it rather...wonderful to begin achieving things for himself.
Showing that he wasn't in his brothers shadow anymore, that he could shine.
Moving his own life forward was one of the hardest things he could do, but slowly, and surely, he was beginning to move forward, and become a person he hoped the Boss would want him to be.
He, finally was going to become a Hero, and his journey had finally begun, now that he was entering U.A.
End chapter!
So, the Entrance Exam happened this chapter, and Keita showed how he's improved, Himiko and Katsuki also seemed to have a bit of a rivalry with one another. Mirko came to wish Keita look in her own way, Ryukyu and Nejire also were there to cheer on Keita. Itsuka also reappeared, from all the way back in chapter one, and she remembers Keita, who saved her during that chapter, though she couldn't speak to him properly about it, she seemed content to know he also would be becoming a Hero. Neito was also introduced, who kept trying to take Keita's Quirk for himself. Ibara was also introduced, and she seems to have developed a bit of a wonder about Keita after he had helped her out.
Then at the end, once finding out their scores, Keita and Sir Nighteye had a small moment between each other, so now Keita and Himiko are both off to U.A! I know some people have been asking about it, so I'll say it here that Keita and Himiko are replacing Sato and Koji in Class 1A.
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
