Hey guys, I'm going to be having a Q&A section at the start of each chapter from now on. I'll answer up to five questions that don't involve spoilers for future chapters that I get from you guys, either from reviews or messages. Anyways, now that we have text messages in the story now let me show how they would look.
Character name: whatever the text says
As opposed to thoughts which are
Whatever character is thinking
Thank you for reading, and thank you to my 135 followers.
After the test Izuku went home and tried to take a nap before dinner only to wake up and see his clock said 11:42 AM.
I must have been more tired than I thought… Oh crap I forgot to text Uraraka last night!
He quickly got his phone out and tried to think of what to send.
Hey Uraraka, thanks again for giving me your number? Nah to weird. Sorry I was busy last night and forgot to text you? No way, makes her seem unimportant. Why is talking to girls so hard? Hi Uraraka, this is Izuku Midoriya, we met at the entrance exam yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't text you last night, I passed out as soon as I got home. I must have been more tired than I thought? Yeah that works.
Izuku typed the message and sent it before he started to change out of his clothes from the day before, which had been partially destroyed by his attack on the big robot. He hadn't even finished changing when he got a text. He grabbed his phone and saw it was from Uraraka.
Uraraka: Hey falling boy! Thank you again for saving me from that big robot. I never asked what your quirk was, I know you said you can make clones, but you took that thing out in one punch.
Crap what do I tell her? I haven't told anyone about my quirk except mom and the UA staff, will she think it's weird that I can copy quirks? But what else would explain the clones and whatever she saw them doing? Will she be worried about me copying her quirk? What if she doesn't want to talk to me because she'll be worried that I'll steal her quirk or something?
Midoriya: honestly it's a little hard to explain, I actually have several abilities.
Uraraka: ?
Well, I might as well just tell her.
Midoriya: my quirk lets me gain the quirks of anyone I want as long as I touch their skin with all five fingers on one of my hands. right now I have ten quirks, but I don't really know how to use all of them that well. Some of them have some pretty bad side effects and I have to practice a lot to be able to use them properly yesterday was actually my first time using more than one at the same time, which is part of why I was so tired
I hope that text wasn't too long of an explanation.
Midoriya sat and waited for what felt like an eternity.
Uraraka: That's so cool! All I can do is make it so gravity stops affecting stuff I touch with all five fingers, but it makes me sick if I use it too much.
Midoriya: that's awesome! with a quirk like that you would be able to help so much in rescue operations
Uraraka: you really think so?
Midoriya: yeah, you could lift rubble out of the way like it was nothing!
And so Midoriya and Uraraka texted for a few hours, talking about everything from school, to their favorite heroes, to what their life at home was like. They only stopped when Midoriya realized that he hadn't eaten since before the exam.
Midoriya: I should probably go get lunch soon, I haven't eaten since before the exam.
Uraraka: I was actually thinking the same thing
Midoriya: do you want to get lunch together then train for a bit? Theres a couple places over by the dagobah beach you might like
There was a longer pause than usual before her response and Midoriyas cheeks went red as he realized what just happened.
Holy crap did I just ask a girl out? No, it's not a date, it's just to people hanging out and getting food.
Uraraka: sure, do you want to meet there in an hour?
Midoriya took a deep breath and typed a response.
Midoriya: sure, see you there.
Wait, and hour, I need to get ready, I gotta shower, and brush my teeth, and what am I gonna wear? I need something comfortable for training, but I don't want to dress to casual, and I don't want to overdress or she might think it's a date.
Midoriya practically ran to the bathroom to take a shower while he thought about his outfit. He thought about his wardrobe, most of which was All Might themed and decided on a black pair of shorts with a plain grey t shirt, then looking at the time he ran out the door.
Midoriya ran to the beach as fast as he could without activating his quirk, figuring he would try to get there a little early, except when he got to the once trash covered beach he saw that Uraraka was already there.
"Midoriya!"
"Oh, Uraraka, you're here early" Midoriya managed to get out blushing profusely.
"Yeah, I'm staying at an apartment nearby while I wait for the results. My family helped build the place so the owners giving me a discount." Uraraka said blushing as she rubbed the back of her head, completely clueless of how nervous Izuku is.
"Oh, I actually live pretty close by too." Midoriya points towards his moms apartment.
"So you must know this area pretty well then?"
"Yeah, I grew up here, and this beach is where I do a lot of my training" Midoriya pointed at the once trash covered beach, which was now spotless after he cleaned it. Uraraka turned towards the beach to take it all in.
I never would have finished it in time for the exam and had time for combat training if I hadn't been training my quirk at the same time, my clones helped a lot.
"I was surprised to see it like this, apparently it used to be some sort of dumping ground, but someone cleaned up the whole thing in the past year, wait you trained here? Does that mean you were the one cleaning it?" Uraraka turned towards Midoriya again, completely oblivious to how close they were.
"Ye yeah, it helped work out different muscles to make it so I don't hurt myself as much when I use the quirks I've acquired, even with all that you saw what the strength enhancement did to me yesterday."
They both paused for a moment of awkward silence remembering the broken mess Midoriya was at the end of the exam until finally Midoriyas stomach broke the silence.
"Oh, we should probably get food." Uraraka pointed towards the nearest restaurant, and they walked inside.
After lunch
Midoriya and Uraraka walked out to the beach.
"So you said you wanted to train after lunch right?" Uraraka looked at Midoriya, who nodded in response. "What do you normally do?"
"Well it depends on the day, I still have a few quirks I'm trying to get used to, but there's actually something I want to try if you're okay with it?" Izuku blushed and looked away from Uraraka.
"Oh, wha what is it?" Uraraka tried to figure out what Midoriya was thinking.
"One of my quirks lets me kind of fly, so I was wondering if you could use your quirk on me and we see what happens." Midoriya barely got the last word out when Uraraka nodded and started jumping up and down.
"I remember that from the entrance exam when you flew at the robot, that was awesome, wait, didn't that break your legs though?" Uraraka got a lot less excited remembering the aftermath of Midoriyas jump.
"Oh, no that was my strength enhancement quirk, I actually have one that lets me propel myself by blasting air out my feet, it just isn't as fast as jumping with super strength."
"You think using my quirk will fix that?" Uraraka nodded finally getting an idea of what Midoriya was planning.
"Yeah, it might help speed me up, and it will make me have to practice my reaction time to steer in the air." Midoriya explained.
"Okay, let's try it, let me know when your ready." Uraraka got next to Izuku, who faced the ocean while getting ready to take off.
"Let's do this." Uraraka touched Izukus arm and he felt himself start to float, as soon as his feet left the ground he pushed air out of his feet and flew out to see, going almost a hundred meters in the time it took Uraraka to blink, it felt good to be moving this speed without breaking anything. He let out another blast of air straight down, propelling himself up into the sky, he sent out and even larger blast of air and went high enough that he couldn't see anything anymore below the clouds.
I'm going too high, I need to turn back now!
Midoriya put his hands out and made an explosion to send him back down, but it was too powerful and he went down faster than he expected, almost hitting the water before he could even try to correct himself. He blasted air out one more time from his feet, slowing himself down just enough to avoid dying as he hit the water. Shortly after he was submerged he felt the pull of gravity return.
She must have deactivated her quirk when she saw me crash.
After a few seconds of spinning underwater Midoriya managed to correct himself and swim up to the surface, then he used Jet to propel himself back to shore, collapsing as soon as he made it to the beach.
"Izuku!" Uraraka ran over to Midoriya who was drenched and in the process of catching his breath. "Are you all right?"
"That. Was. Awesome!" Midoriya broke out into the biggest smile he's made in years as he remembered the view above the clouds.
Six Days later
Midoriya was at home working on researching quirks of different pro heroes and ways they could be applied if he were to get them when his mother slammed open the door to his room.
"Izuku they're here, they're really here, it's your test results from UA!" His mom waved a small envelope around, which she handed to Izuku before shutting the door and waiting to find out what happened. He sat at his desk, staring at the envelope in front of him.
Here it goes.
Izuku tore open the letter and a small disk fell onto his desk starting a recording. The face of All Might filled the screen that lit up the room.
"I AM HERE AS A PROJECTION!" All Might yelled into the camera before taking a step back. "I know I haven't been able to talk to you since the exam, but with great power comes a great amount of paperwork." Someone off camera started talking to All Might. "Huh, who's showboating? But I need to tell him a few things, wait I have to do how many of these?" All Might looks back at Midoriya and takes a deep breath. "Sorry, moving on. You passed the written test with almost a perfect score, and between you and your clones you were able to secure 68 Villain points, which was more than enough to get in. However, there were other factors affecting your score. Before we get to that though, I have another surprise, a short clip for your viewing pleasure!" All Might pulled out a remote and pointed it at a tv behind him, revealing Uraraka and Present Mic.
Huh? What's going on?
Uraraka walked up to Present Mic and spoke up.
"Excuse me, do you have a second? Sorry to interrupt." All Might paused the clip.
"She showed up after the exam to talk about you young man. What did she have to say? You'll have to stay tuned to find out!" All Might hit play again and Uraraka kept talking.
"You know that boy, Izuku Midoriya, the one with the really messy hair? Kind of plain looking. I found out he wasn't sure how many points he had after he got hurt by the big villain. I was wondering if you could give him some of my points? He would have gotten more points if he hadn't gotten hurt helping me. He saved me, and I have to make it up to him!" Uraraka explained to Present Mic. "Please sir, can you give him my points?"
She offered to give up her chances of getting into UA to help me?
The clip paused again, and All Might looked back at the camera.
"You have a quirk, but it's your actions that inspire others, and that is why I am here. You see the practical was not just graded on combat alone." He pressed play one last time to show Present Mics response to Urarakas pleas.
"Thanks for showing up to the station with your request, but there's no reason to give him your points. The kids chartin' well on his own." He gave her a reassuring pat on the head and the clip ended there, leaving just All Might.
"How could a hero course reject a student who is committed to saving others no matter the consequences to himself? After all that is what makes a hero. And that's what my alma mater is all about, training those that would risk their lives for the greater good. Which is why we have rescue points. A panel of judges watch the exam and they award points for heroic acts beyond just fighting villains. Izuku Midoriya, 75 rescue points, and Ochaco Uraraka, 45 rescue points." Midoriya saw his name on the list of scores, not only did he get in, he was the first place student, with Bakugou in second, and Uraraka in fourth. You received a total of 143 points, the second highest in the history of the school only three points behind my own score. Welcome Izuku, to the hero academia."
Midoriya couldn't help but cry as he was told again that he would be going to UA, except this time he finally felt that he had earned his place there. He got his phone and texted Uraraka.
Izuku: I made it!
Uraraka: Yeah, same here. Wasn't your name in the number one spot?
Izuku: Yeah, All Might said I got the second highest score in the history of the school.
Uraraka: That's awesome! I can't wait to see what you can do once we start class, I just hope that guy that tripped you isn't in our class.
Midoriya went out and told his mother the good news, and she made Izuku as much katsudon as he could eat to celebrate.
That finishes this arc of the story, now on to the first days of school, and the USJ incident. Thank you all again for reading.
