*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"Everyone out. We're here." Mr. Aizawa said as we all exited the bus, "Our test site, the National Takoba Arena."
Nice place to have an exam.
"Getting nervous now." Kyouka said.
"Still no clue what this test is about. Can we really earn our Privisional Licenses?" Minoru asked.
"Mineta." Mr. Aizawa said bending down to his eye level, "It's not a matter of can. You will."
"R-R-Right. Of course." He said.
"Earn your provisional licenses by passing this test, and you won't be eggs anymore, but full-fledged hatchlings reborn as semi-pros! Show them your best!" Mr. Aizawa said.
"Yeah, we're going to hatch from those eggs!" Eijiro yelled, "Time for our cheer! All together now, plus..."
"ULTRA!"
A tall boy yelled behind Eijiro, "Uhh... Hi, how you doin?" I asked.
"It's bad manners to intrude in other group's huddles. Inasa." Some guy behind him said.
"Ah, you got me!" He yelled. "I am so... very... sorry!" He slammed his head into the pavement in apology, causing blood to roll down his forehead.
"Who's this whacked-out big ball of excitement?" Denki asked.
"He's like Iida and Kirishima... squared!" Hanta yelled.
"U.A's in the east. Shiketsu's in the west." Katsuki said.
"I JUST ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY SAYING IT! PLUS ULTRA! I FREAKING LOVE U.A HIGH! IT'S TRUELY AN HONOR TO COMPETE ALONGSIDE THE FINE STUDENTS OF U.A!" He yelled.
He's... excited. I like him already.
"Inasa Yoarashi." Mr. Aizawa said.
"Do you know him, Sensei?" Tooru asked.
"He's really, really enthusiastic. But from what he was saying, he actually seems like a nice dude." Eijirou said.
"He's... very strong. This year... he got placed into your grade at U.A under special recommendation. His top grades were enough to open the doors for him, but for some reason, he decided to not marticulate." Mr. Aizawa explained.
"Interesting... doesn't change the battle plan a bit." I said.
"This guy says he's a big fan of U.A, but he turned down the offer to attend? I don't get it." Hanta said.
"Weird." Mina replied.
"Weird or not, he's the real deal. Keep an eye on him." Mr. Aizawa advised.
"Eraser?! Is that really you Eraser?!" A loud and kinda obnoxious voice yelled, Mr. Aizawa shivered with fear... whoever this person is has my respect and admiration, "I saw you on T.V and at the Sports Festival. It's been too long since we got to meet face to face." Oh wait a minute...
"Ms. Joke." I said.
"Let's get married." Ms. Joke said with a giant smirk.
"Aah!" Mina squealed.
"No." Mr. Aizawa stated simply, which made her only laugh.
"No thanks?! Just do it!" She yelled.
"You're the same pain in the neck as always, Joke." Mr. Aizawa said.
...
...
I can't, NOT, pass up this opportunity. "Jeez, I heard of for better and for worse, but come on, this guy's your first option?"
Mr. Aizawa glared at me, but Ms. Joke laughed, "I like this kid!"
"Sorry, I'm taken, but thankfully Liam Neeson isn't around anymore to play as me." I replied.
"I take that back, I love this kid. Where did you find him?" Ms. Joke asked.
"In class, where I always am." I said.
"Stop... please." Mr. Aizawa said.
"I agree, those jokes are bad." Shoto said... oh this is too perfect.
"Well why don't you two just chill out." I said with a smirk, which caused everyone to boo "I'm just shivering from your collective boos. But if you think these are bad... well this is just the tip of the iceberg."
"Izuku... stop." Ochako said.
"What? I'm just trying to break the ice. Trying to decrease the gravity of the situation."
"These are bad, stop." Denki said.
"But it's quite shocking to get it from you Denki." I responded.
"You're just doing this to annoy us stop." Tooru said, oh this is too easy.
"What? Am I that transparent with my intentions?" I asked.
"You're making it easier for him, stop fucking talking." Katsuki said.
"Aww, look at you trying to defuse the situation." I said.
"BAHAHAHA!" Ms. Joke laughed, "Man... do I feel sorry for you Eraser."
Trust me... I won't be the only one requiring pity." Mr. Aizawa said.
"Okay, I'm done... for now." I said, "But it's not my fault. They just made it easy."
...
...
"He has a fair point Shota. Besides, you can't erase this from your memory." Ms. Joke said.
"Eyy, pound it." I said extending my fist at her, which she responded with a fistbump.
"What a mad duo they make." Fumikage said.
"You couldn't be more right." I said with a smirk.
"IS your school here too, Joke?" Mr. Aizawa asked cleraly done with our conversation.
"Teasing you is always good for a laugh, Eraser. And yeah! come on over, everyone! Meet U.A!" Ms. Joke yelled as a group of students looked over and rushed towards us.
"Whoa! It's really them!" One guy with black hair yelled.
"All those guys are from T.V! Wowee!" One girl yelled too.
"Taking this test as first-years? Pretty fast paced, huh? Well, with everything that's happened... no wonder they're so capable." Another guy with long black hair said.
"This is class 2-2 of Ketsubutsu Academy! Say hello to my students." Ms. Joke introduced.
"My name's Shido! U.A's had it rough this year, right? The hits just keep coming." He said.
I got a good look at his face.
"But you guys still have your hearts set on becoming heroes. That's awesome!"
I've seen a face like that before...
"I believe the heroes of tomorrow need to have that kind of fortitude!"
The girl has it too.
"What a straight talking, eloquent, cool dude..." Denki muttered.
I hate it.
"Guys..." I muttered.
"Izuku? You're shaking."
"LET'S, ahem, let's go inside..." I muttered as I walked away from them, all of them.
The rest of 1-A followed me, "Are you okay, Izuku?" Ochako asked.
"Slight change of plans..." I muttered, "That guy, Shido, and the girl with the hair do? They're mine to eliminate."
"E-Eliminate? Are you alright Izuku?" Tenya asked.
"Yeah, they seem like nice people." Denki added.
"Let me tell you something..." I muttered before looking forward, "People who put on faces like that... are the same as villains." I didn't say a word after that.
I didn't need to.
"Now, THAT, is a hero costume." I said as Momo exited the changing room in her newest costume.
She laughed, "It's all thanks to you."
"Well I didn't make it, but I'll gladly take all the credit. If you want, I have a winter variant I can show you once we beat everyone and get our licenses." I offered.
"I would love that, thank you." Momo replied.
"Hey! Where's the charitable offers for costume redesigns in this direction?" Ochako asked.
"Well the day after the test, I'll open up 'Izuku's Costume Critiques' only 5,000 yen per. Momo that's a joke please don't give me money." I said as I could just feel Momo pulling out her wallet, only to slowly put it back, "Put that in your locker you goof, if you lose it I will first laugh at you, then personally beat up everyone until I find it, then laugh at you again."
"G-Got it." She said as she rushed back into the locker room.
"Bada bo do boop, that's Momo!"
The head examiner is apparently super tired, but his explanation was clear. There are 1,540 of us, and like I expected, it was a free for all at the start. The head examiner says that the title 'Hero' should not be given to those seeking reward or recompense, but should be one earned through self-sacrifice. Pretty poetic stuff. He then went to explain that doing things without reward... especially now, is harsh... heroes do have bills to pay. So whether it's for dedication or a reward, there are heroes out there working to put bad guys away.
After that long speech about the ethics of heroism, the actual rules have been revealed. The cut off is the first 100 students. As for how to weed out the examiners, it's based on a target/projectile system... like I predicted. Man, I'm on a roll. How it works is each of us will be given 3 'Weak Points', to be placed anywhere on the body, so long it's visable to the naked eye. As for how they are taken out, we will be given small softballs to use as either projectiles or tagging weapons. Each of us will be given 6, and we are tasked with taking out 2 minimum to pass.
"Yes... so we'll be handing out balls and targets once this place opens up. The exam will begin one minute after the examinees are fully equipped." He finished... before we could even question that statement, the whole building surrounding us began to literally open, "With every type of landscape available, you should all be able to find areas suited for you."
The whole building opened up... man, this place is crazy!
"Make the best use of your talents. We've carefully thought about all factors as we came up with these environments... what a drag. So much lost sleep..." He muttered.
Man... do I relate to that.
All of 1-A stuck together... aside from Katsuki, and Shoto. Shoto has an excuse, can't use his Quirks well if we are all in his way, and Katsuki... well he wants to do it himself. Thankfullly Eijirou and Denki went with him. He needs some company.
After we bundled together and put our targets on, a countdown started, going down from 10.
5...
4...
This is it.
3...
2...
Time to pass.
1...
Now.
*Aizawa's P.O.V*
"The U.A Crush." Joke said.
"The U.A Crush... a tradition spaning many years, catches most if not all U.A students off guard. Except this year's." I said.
"What do you mean by that?" Joke asked, "Kids hoping to be heroes are a dime a dozen you know. And how far their determination will take them, has nothing to do with how famous they are. Pretending they're the stars of the show and looking down on others is a good way to get your just desserts." She muttered.
"That would be true... if not for one person. Izuku Midoriya." I said pointing at him.
"He's your it factor?!" Joke exclaimed before laughing, "Oh man, you really are a jokester, haah, he's not fit to be a hero, not with what I've seen of him." Joke said.
"He may act like an irrational, fun loving, slacker, but inside that body... is a brain of a genius." I answered, "He out right predicted this whole exam. Down to the targets and the projectiles. He even outright said that U.A was going to be targeted."
"H-How, the tests are different every year." Joke asked.
"But that's not the only thing you should worry about." I said.
"What?" Joke asked.
"He was shaking earlier, and that kid... has faced more danger, and more risk than all of us pros combined, in the span of 4 months. So he wasn't shaking out of fear... which leads to my point." I said as I saw him take off his weights behind Yaoyorozu's grounded shield, "Never, make him angry."
*FWOOSH* *SLAM*
"W-WHAT?!" Joke exclaimed.
Before she could say anything else, Midoriya rushed out and grabbed the girl from earlier with Shido, slammed her onto the ground too knocking them both out. Once they were unconscious, he swiftly eliminated them.
"Finally... someone passed. 99 more spots left people, pick it up now." The examiner said.
"Didn't you say you watched the Sports Festival? How did you not see him use that speed and that strength? He beat the obstacle course in 3 minutes." I asked.
"I-I was in the bathroom during that time, 3 minutes?! He's insane!" Joke yelled.
"There's a reason why Nezu appointed him as leader of 1-A, even if it wasn't direct." I said, "The whole class views him as a leader, and... even if he doesn't say it, he views them as his family, people he wants to protect, people he wants to see succeed with his own two eyes. In his own words, they're his 'Hope'. Which makes him stronger." I said.
"So what? Is 'Hope' the source of his power?" Joke asked.
"No, his power and speed are all natural. The trade off, he has low vitality. However, 'Hope' gives him more vitality, allows him to take more hits." I explained, "But like I said before... never make him angry. During our summer camp in the woods, villains attacked, you know the story. But what you don't know... is that Midoriya, in a blind rage, wiped out the entirety of the vanguard, and stood toe to toe with the mastermind behind the League of Villains. In fact he and All Might combined took him down."
"H-He did?" Joke asked.
"So I have to ask... what did Shido do to anger him?" I asked.
"His fake smile was what pissed me off."
"GAAH!" Joke yelled.
"Also, I didn't know you thought so highly of me Mr. Aizawa." Midoriya added.
"Don't flatter yourself, and what do you mean, his fake smile pissed you off." I asked.
"It's self-explanatory. I hate people who use smiles to make themselves seem nice, and lovable, and friendly... despise it. People who put on that kind of face, for that kind of intention... are the same as villains." Midoriya said.
He looked away, I decided not to question him about it... Joke on the other hand.
"That's not a good comparison, he's a nice ki-"
"Joke. Stop." I said.
"But-"
"Read. The atmosphere." I said.
"R-Right... sorry." Joke muttered, but Midoriya stayed silent.
It's clearly something about his past... it's not my place to force an investigation. He'll tell us when he's good and ready.
But... his eyes tensed. "Aizawa... have we come into contact with that blonde chick from Shiketsu?" He asked.
"No... we haven't, aside from the incident outside." I responded.
"Then how is she able to transform into Ochako?"
"What?" I asked as I looked around for this girl.
"There." He pointed to the second Uraraka, "The real Uraraka is up there." He said pointing to the floating girl.
"... She could have bumped into her when Yoarashi was talking with you all." I countered.
"Could be..."
"Oh look, another one passed. WHAT?! 120 students are taken out by a single competitor!" The announcer said, "N-Nothing beats a surprise like that to wake a guy up. Keep up the pace ladies and gentlement."
"But I also have a hunch, so I'm going to see if that hunch is correct." Midoriya said as he began walking back towards the 1st floor.
I have a bad feeling about this.
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"Just the man I wanted to see." I said as Yoarashi entered the break room.
"Hello! I see you were the one who passed first!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah yeah, not important." I said waving it off, "I need to know... that blonde haired girl, the one you were walking with?" I asked.
"Yes?" He asked.
"What's her Quirk?" I asked back.
"... I don't think that's information I should share." Yoarashi said.
"Answer the question... it's important." I said.
He looked me in the eyes... he could see I'm not fucking around, "Alright. It's called 'Glamour'. It allows her to create visual and auditory illusions. For a short period of time. Her range can stretch to a large room."
"Does her 'Glamour' involve her melting into grey goop?" I asked.
"W-What?" He asked.
"Judging by your reaction... it isn't." I said, "How does it work? Is it noticable if it's an illusion? Or is it passive?"
"I-I don't know why-"
"Answer the question... please." I said.
...
...
"It's a type of gas, expelled from her mouth." Yoarashi said.
"... Then that confirms it." I said.
"Confirms what?" Yoarashi asked.
"That we have a fake girl in the test right now." I said.
"W-What?" He asked.
"The Quirk you told me, and the Quirk I saw her use, while similar, doesn't match the Quirk you're telling me she has 100%. Odds are... it's a villain posing as a student." I said.
"W-What? Well what should we do? Should we call a pro?" Yoarashi asked.
"Yes... but not yet. If we call a pro and stop the test, she... he... they, could get a student hostage. We need to do this swiftly... and above all else, quietly. So what we discussed here, cannot, and will not leave us. Got it?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah, got it." He said, "B-But wait... if that Camie is a fake... then where's the real Camie?"
"I wish I could tell you for certain. When did you see... no, nevermind, that's a stupid question." I said, "Did you notice anything weird about Camie?"
"Yeah... three days ago she was normal. Using her normal 'Camieisms'. But after... she was quiet, and didn't use her Camieisms... I thought she was under the weather but didn't want to miss the test and be left behind." Yoarashi said.
"So if it was three days ago... then she must still be in Shiketsu to keep supplying D.N.A or something along those lines, probably knocked out in a broom closet in the school." I said.
"Oh thank goodness..." Yoarashi said.
"But there's still Anti-Camie. It has to be the League of Villains who are after me and my class... But who." I muttered before pulling up a chair and sitting down, time to deduce this shiz.
It's not Blue Dormammu, or Bizarro Doctor Strange we know their Quirks already, and don't fit the description. Hands on Approach wouldn't risk bringing himself out here since he's the leader of the League. It's not Kurogiri... that's obvious. Gas Man? No, doesn't make sense, his Quirk is some sort of gas Quirk that knocks out people, not illusions. Muscular... why did I even mention him? It could be Anti-Deadpool, wait, not it's grey goop, Anti-Deadpool's Qurik turns them into brown goop. Small, but distinct difference. Who's left? Magne, Lizard Man, and that girl Ochako and Tsu were fighting... oh and Moonfish but... yeah. What was... wait, it has to me that girl. She was the only one to come into contact with Ochako out of all of them.
"I know who it is." I said.
"Y-You do?" Yoarashi asked.
"Yes. But that makes no difference to the plan. Keep quiet, and calm down we'll get your friend back." I said before standing up.
"W-Where are you going?" Yoarashi asked.
"Going to talk to Eraser head."
"Mr. Aizawa!" I yelled.
"What?" He asked.
"We have something to talk about... need to know basis, and she doesn't need to know." I said.
"W-What's that supposed to me-"
"Alright, let's go." Mr. Aizawa said as he got up and followed me into an abaondoned broom closet, "This is your secret meeting place?"
"I needed somewhere quiet and discrete. Anyway, there's a fake student here, a villain from the League." I said.
"What?" Mr. Aizawa asked.
"They... well, she is posing as Camie, the one from Shiketsu." I said.
"... And the evidence to support that statement?" He asked.
"Yoarashi's account said her Quirk is 'Glamour' it allows her to create illusions, but he said that it's based on gas eminating from her mouth." I explained, "And he also said that last night she was acting like her normal self, but come test time, she was completely different, more quiet and didn't use her normal mannerisms... whatever they are."
"... Do you know which one it is?" Mr. Aizawa asked.
"I called her a she for a reason. She was the girl Ochako and Tsu were fighting during the camp. She must have gotten some form of D.N.A from Ochako, blood most likely, and even more likely injested it to transform into Ochako. The same could be said for Camie." I explained.
"Then what's the plan?" Mr. Aizawa asked.
"... Wait for the end of this part of the test. If it is her, then we don't want to rile her up and let her attack other students, I told Yoarashi to keep quiet about this too. We have the element of surprise, we need to keep it for until the plan is active. Once the first part is over, we need you to use your Quirk on her and confirm our suspicions." I said.
"I see... thank you for bringing this up to me, instead of acting on your own." Mr. Aizawa praised.
"Yeah... oh and one more thing..." I said.
"What?" Mr. Aizawa asked back.
"Can I borrow a towel?"
"Yuuga what are you doing?!" I yelled.
It was the final minutes of the first part. 11 of us passed, now and there was 10 spots left. Fake Camie wasn't one of them, but that's slightly less important.
A lot of the other students were rushing towards the light, but then suddenly, pidgeons came from the sky and blotted out the sun. Koji and the others here to make one last freaking stand!
But the pidgeons were a distraction, because Minoru began unleashing an onslaught of his purple headballs throwing them all over the ground. Next it was Rikido, Mashirao and Fumikage's turn, they knocked them all down onto the balls, while Mina and Tooru was providing support with her acid and blinding them with light.
"Two more! Eight left now!" The announcer said as Tooru and Mashirao got their targets.
Seven left!
Five left! Come on almost there!
Four left!
Tthee left!
Two left! But that wasn't Class 1-A... I have to hope it's fake Camie for the trap to work.
"Come on! Finish them!" I yelled, as Tenya and Yuuga rushed over to get their last target! They did it!
"Oh my god!" I yelled while clasping Momo's shoulders and shaking her, "That was Indiana Jones right there! Holy shit that was incredible! I'm getting the vod of this for the highlight reel!"
"I-I-It W-a-a-as, N-Now S-S-Stop sha-a-aking me-e-e." She said.
"O-Oh... sorry." I said as I let her go.
It took three minutes for the champions to get here. Once they were here I walked over to Yuuga, "Dude... that was amazing!" I yelled as I wrapped my arm around his shoulder, "All hope seemed lost, then you bust in like a freaking beauty queen, that laser into the sky was gutsy, I love it! That was totally the moment in the movies where you're like 'It would have ended before they made it'. And you proved it!"
He looked at me before smiling, "Of course, as you know... I can't stop sparkling."
"Damn straight you can't!" I yelled... before Fake Camie entered the building. She looked at me and waved.
I waved back.
"Izuku... who is that?" Ochako asked.
"Someone... hey Momo, can I have a towel? A big one?" I asked.
She raised and eyebrow... but made me a large towel.
"Thanks." I said. "ERASER NOW!" Eraser Head jumped out of a crowd of students and used his Quirk on Fake Camie, she melted into gray goop, before transforming into, thankfully a fully clothes girl from the League of Villains.
"H-How did you know?" She asked as I rushed over and gripped her arms.
"It was pretty obvious to be honest... not to mention gutsy to attack during the provisional license exam... alone." I said, "Maybe Shigaraki finds you... expendable." I said before knocking her out with a chop to the head. I then handed her to Mr. Aizawa, "Turns out I didn't need this towel after all. So what's the call? Do we cancel the test?"
...
...
"Are you certain there isn't anyone else from the League of Villains here?" Mr. Aizawa asked.
"Almost certain... I was thinking a clone from Anti-Deadpool would be here... but I don't see anyone rushing in to save her." I said.
I also don't see Kurogiri coming in and dropping A Nomu... maybe what I said was true, Shigaraki sees her as expendable.
... Interesting.
"So, then we are good to continue the test... but we'll have to delay about 30 minutes to get some more pros on the scene. We can't let another incident like this happen again." Mr. Aizawa said.
"Yes sir. Oh, and tell someone to search Shiketsu... odds are there is the real Camie locked up in a broom closet somewhere." I said, he nodded and walked away, probably to make some calls and take her to a nearby police station.
"You knew she was here?" Denki asked.
"I had a hunch after I passed and was watching on the bleachers. I confirmed it with Yoarashi, but I couldn't really act on it because I didn't want her to kill one of you before I got her. I needed to keep the element of surprise. So I had Aizawa lie in wait while we hoped fake Camie would pass. The gambit paid off, and we caught her." I said, "So that decreases the League's numbers down to 9. And if you'd ask me, I'd say she's one of the bigger threats, the ability to change your appearance to whomever, is useful, and better out of the League's hands." I said before walking over to the screen.
Time to hear the second part of the exam.
The second part of the test... and the one that will net us our Provisional License, is surrounded around rescuing civilians who were caught in the bombing of the previous testing area. Our jobs is to help the civilians, and tend to their wounds as bystanders, or people who just so happen to be there at the time. However, instead of random civilians, we will be acting as if we already have a Provisional License. Also apparently the elderly people and children are people from 'Help Us Company'... okay, we'll roll with that.
To summarize, the HUC's are classified as 'Casualties' for this incident, and it's our job to save them. We will be graded via points, and if we exceed a certain threshold we will pass the test and the license will be ours.
Due to the incident with Fake Camie, we have an extra 30 minutes for them to sort this out, so 40 minute break. Guess I could take a break and enjoy the lunch buffet.
Oh Shiketsu is coming over.
"Hello there, Bakugou." The really hairy one from Shiketsu said, "Shishikura the slant-eyed guy, did he come after you?"
"Yeah, and I knocked him out." Katsuki replied.
"I knew it... He must have been all manner of rude to you, and hurt your feelings. He tends to push his values on others, you see. He probably went nuts at the sight of a famous kid like you." Hairy dude said. "I want to build a good relationship with U.A from here on out. We apologize."
"A good relationship?" Minoru said.
"I agree whole-heartedly, put 'er there Chewbacca." I said extending my hand.
"C-Chewbacca?" He asked.
"Well yeah. I don't know your name... and you're really hairy. And Star Wars is a fantastic series before Disney bought it, so Chewbacca." I said with a smile.
...
...
"Heh, been a while since someone gave me a nickname." He said before giving me his hand to shake. Nagamasa Mora." He introduced.
"Izuku Midoriya, and I'm sticking with Chewbacca if you don't mind." I introduced.
The rest of Shiketsu then turned around, "Best regards."
Then Shoto walked up to Yoarashi. "Hey, you with the hat. Did I do something?"
Yoarashi looked at him, anger clearly on his face and eyes. "I'm really sorry to say this... oh son of Endeavor, but... I don't like either of you." He said simply.
... Well that Shiketsu/U.A verbal treaty lasted about 5 seconds.
"Something about you changed a little then, sure... but those eyes... are the same as Endeavor's." He said.
"What's wrong, Yoarashi." Chewbacca asked.
"It's nothing!" He yelled back before running back.
"Oi, dirtba-"
"Let him go, Izuku." Shoto muttered.
... He's clearly not focused right now.
"Look, Shoto. You two clearly have beef, about what? I don't know, and odds are you don't remember. But don't let that beef get in your way of the License. Got it?" I asked.
"Yes... General." Shoto muttered before heading to the lunch buffet.
That's about as good as we're going to get at this point. Well we have... 26 minutes left until impending doom arrived... time to strategize. "Hey Momo, can you make me a whiteboard and a marker?"
"Sure?" Momo asked as she handed me my two things. "Alright, 1-A gather round, time to come up with a winning strategy."
Katsuki looked like he would rather drown in sewage than listen to my speech... but Eijiro, God bless, dragged him in.
"What's the plan General Izuku?"Eijiro asked... I'm so glad they are rolling with the General thing.
"Well, Colonel Eijiro, the plan is simple. As the announcer stated, we'll be rescuing HUCs to pass. We have the entirety of the 'City' to find them and tend to them. I assume there's a time limit, either until all the HUC's are rescued, or an actual time limit. Safe to assume both. So here's now we do this. We all stay relatively close together."
"Why?" Mina asked.
"Because while some HUCs will be in plain sight, there could be some hidden, or trapped, somewhere. Kyouka and Mezo our our best bet when it comes to locating people with their Quirks." I explained.
"Makes sense." Kyouka stated.
"Now, we need to discuss categories. Our heavy lifters. Eijirou, Rikido, Mashirao, Koji, that's your jobs." I explained.
"Rodger." Eijrou commented.
"Count on us." Rikido said.
Koji nodded.
"I think I got this." Mashirao said.
"Need more confidence bud." I replied.
"I got this!" Mashirao yelled.
"That's more like it. However, it's also safe to assume that there will be some unstable buildings around, so Hanta, Momo, Minoru, and Shoto that's where you four come in." I explained.
"Gotcha." Hanta said.
"We can do this." Momo stated.
"I can do that no problem." Minoru said.
Shoto just nodded.
"We also need 'Transporters' Ochako, Tenya, Mezo, that's where you three come in any wounded we come across, carry them to a 'Medical Point' where someone declares it as." I stated.
"Sounds good!" Ochako exclaimed.
"I shall carry out that task!" Tenya said.
"I can do that too." Mezo said.
"That's what I like to hear. Now I can almost be certain there will be dark spots. All around the grounds. Fumikage, Yuuga, Tooru, and Denki, but please don't use too much wattage, you're meant to be a light source not an attacker." I explained.
"I shall take this role." Fumikage siad.
"Tres manifique." Yuuga replied with his trademark poses.
"I got this!" Tooru exclaimed.
"Same here!" Denki yelled.
"Now all that's left is the 'Bargers'. It's safe to assume to say that there will be people trapped somewhere, trapped with no method of escape. That's where Mina and Katsuki comes in." I explained.
"Gotcha!" Mina said.
"That's a lame as fuck role." Katsuki said.
"Which leads to my next point. These may be your 'roles', but it's not 100% what you should be doing, but before I get to that, Momo can you make us... 20 walkie talkies?" I asked.
"I can always eat more after the meeting." She said as she made us each a walkie talkie.
"Channel 1 everyone." I said as everyone turned the dial, "Check, 1 2... got it, good." I said before hanging up, "Now, onto my next point. Those are your roles, but if you see a MUC go after them, you're being constantly checked for your points. So even if your role is officially over don't just stand there and do fuck hell nothing. Help someone, even if they're not in our school. Got it?" I asked.
"Yes, General." Everyone excluding Katsuki said.
"Alright, now final parts. Katsuki... tone down your... you-ness." I said which made everyone snort.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Katsuki asked.
"Don't be all angry and yell at everyone. They may be MUCs, but they're still playing as children and elderly. Treat them as such. The last thing we want is for you to fail just because you seemed really angry." I said.
He tch'd, but nodded, "Crystal." He said.
"Good. That's all I got."
"Wait... what about you?" Mina asked.
...
...
"Oh right, forgot." I said as I put on my coveted delivery man hat, "I'm the delivery man."
"What will that do us?" Rikido asked.
"It ties into what Momo will also do." I said as she looked at me, "Momo's Quirk will be invaluable to us, with her ability to make whatever she has knowledge of, and with that Lexicon, it's anything. She can make bandages, splints, anything we'll need. But how can she get it to us? With me of course. With my speed I can get from point A to point B in a fraction of a second. Anything you need call up on the walkie talkie. Aside from that I'll be a part of the enforcers, and if the transporter team needs me I'll be there too." I explained.
"I see..." Momo muttered.
"It's a pretty big task... but you're one of my Major Generals, you can do this with one arm easy." I said.
She looked at me before smiling, "I'll do my best."
"Your best better be passing, because it is. Let's bring it in." I said before setting the white-board aside and put my hand in the middle, everyone took the hint and placed their hands on top of mine... even Katsuki, without the help of Eijirou. "We've worked hard to get to this point, face many hardship to get to where we're at, and we're no where near done. Once we get out there let's be one mind, one heartbeat, for one purpose, that purpose being getting our provisional licenses and getting one step closer to becoming pro heroes. So let's show the examiners the true power of U.A's elite!" I yelled as a chorus of yeahs and one 'fuck yeah', "U.A here to stay on three. 1, 2, 3!"
"U.A here to stay!"
"That's what I like to hear. Now, rest up and fuel up. We have 20 minutes left till the test."
It's time.
The walls of the break room fell down, revealing the destroyed remains of the city. "We have our roles, we know our objectives, now we gotta execute. Remember, help not only us but other schools, this isn't a competition anymore. And don't be afraid to call for help."
"Right." Everyone said as we ran into the destroyed city. We stuck together for now, and once we made it into the city we saw a wounded MCU posing as a kid yelling for his grandpa.
"Hold on, watch me." I said as I rushed over.
"YOU GAWTAAA SAVE HIM!" He yelled.
"We will find your grandfather soon, but first can you walk? Momo, make me some bandages so I can wrap his headwound." I said.
"R-Right." She said as she gave me a small roll of bandages.
"M-My leg hurts..." He muttered.
"His breathing is off as well. The soot from the explosion must have impacted his respritory system." I said as I finished wrapping his head. Once I did that I carried him on my back, "Analyze everything about the HUC! You can tell what they need at the current moment, good luck I'll be back soon!" I yelled out before rushing over to the medical area, which was the unfolded break room.
"Not bad kid... not bad at all." the HUC praised.
"Heh... you haven't seen anything yet." I commented as a girl told me to set him down over to the left side.
They haven't seen anything yet.
"Izuku, we need bandages we're right in front of the giant building!" Kyouka yelled.
"Izuku, we need your help to carry another MUC, we're by the same area." Tenya yelled.
"Izuku, we also need help carrying an MUC, we're by the lake, but take care of the other stuff, ribbit." Tsu said.
"Copy that, I'll take care of all three, give me a moment." I said before gently placing a wounded MUC on the medical area. I then ran over to Momo who was also there tending to the wounded as well, once I made it there she handed me a roll of bandages, "Now you're learning." I said with a proud smile.
I rushed over to the giant building first, handing the bandages to Kyouka before carrying the MUC Tenya said, I then rushed over to the lake to help Tsu. So far?
Everything is going smo-
*BOOOM!*
Me and my big fucking mouth.
"The villains have shown up, and they're on the move! You hero candidates on the scene will suppress the villain incursion." The announcer exclaimed.
It's Gang Orca.
"What's the call General?" Mezo asked.
"Whomever isn't needed out in the field come evacuate the wounded in the medical area away from the battle. Katsuki... I need your help to kick Gang Orca's ass." I said.
"Hahahaha! Now you're speaking my fucking language." Katsuki said.
"I can help with the evacuation." Mina said.
"Me too." Mashirao added.
"I shall come as well." Fumikage said.
"I can help fight." Shoto said.
"The more the merrier, just hurry. I'll buy you two some time... and try to save you a piece." I said.
"You fucking better, can't have you soaking all the glory." Katsuki commented.
I put my walkie talkie in my pocket before rushing into battle."Gang Orca." I greeted.
"I recognize you... you're the kid who helped All Might fight off that big villain." Gang Orca said.
Stall him... fear tactics.
"Who? Oh All for One right... ehh he wasn't that tough." I said.
He clearly saw through my bluff, "Both your arms were broken, he was clearly tough."
"Ehh, those were flesh wounds." I said before I heard the sound of ice forming. I jumped out of the way of Shoto's attack. "But I'd say that attempt at stalling for allies was a success."
"... Heh, well you certainly got points for deceiving me, even though based on your strength you could have very easily beat us." Gang Orca said.
"With 10 million minions by your side with ranged weapons? I'm good thanks. Not saying I can't beat you, but better safe with more allies than rushing in fact first like an idiot." I said, "Besides, the more I talk, the more time the evac team has to evacuate the MUCs." I said.
"Quite the silver tongue you have there... but enough talk." Gang Orca said.
"I agree, time to fi-"
"Blow the heck AWAAAYYY!" A loud voice yelled as a massive fust of wind blew apart our protective ice wall.
"Wind..." Shoto muttered.
"A villain incursion is it?! What a heated turn of events they've decided to go with!" Yoarashi exclaimed before looking down, "Why did you have to show up...?!"
"Why don't you help evacuate the area? Your Quirk's suited for that. We'll take care of these guys." Shoto commented.
"Hmph." Yoarashi muttered.
I swear to the multiverse... if these two screw this up by infighting.
Shoto used fire, but Yoarashi used his wind, causing the fire to fly off course, "Why fire?! The heat made my wind rise!"
"Cuz he blocked my ice a second ago. I thought you came here to help. So stop blowing my flames of course." Shoto responded.
"Yeah? Well you're here trying to steal all the glory!" Yoarashi countered... I think that was a counter anyway.
"That's rich coming from you." Shoto responded.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" He yelled, "I shouldn't be surprised after all... you're Endeavor's son!"
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL YOU TWO SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Katsuki and I yelled which silenced both of them and stunned Gang Orca and his minions.
"I don't know if you have noticed, be WE HAVE A FUCKING TEST TO PASS!" I yelled, "If you two are just going to fight about who the fuck knows what, then be productive and help with the Evac! Or I swear to whatever God you worship, the minute this test is over I'm slapping the both of you so hard that I-"
*Swish*
One of the minions tried to shoot me with cement, I dodged and flicked him into, "I'M YELLING HERE!" I yelled before sighing, "Katsuki, let's go, if they won't attack, we'll take the initiative."
"About fucking time..." Katsuki muttered as we rushed into battle, we decided to take down the minion's fir-
*FWOOSH*
I looked back to see- A WAVE OF FIRE!
"Katsuki look out!" I yelled as I dragged him and myself out of the blast radius, "I take back what I said... I'm slapping them twice."
"I want a slap too." Katsuki muttered as we got off of the ground... only to see Gang Orca using his Quirk to scramble both Shoto's and Yoarashi's senses causing them to fall onto the ground. Once they were taken care of, the minions and Gang Orca turned their attentions towards us.
"Alright Katsuki... You take the 500 on the right, and I'll take the 500 on the left." I said.
"Screw you! I'll take 500 and 1!" Katsuki yelled.
"That's the spirit Colonel!" I yelled before we blasted off to take care of the inflantry. They began to shoot us with their cement guns but we dodged and began taking them down in droves. Then something glorious happened... something I never thought would happen.
Shoto and Yoarashi are finally working together, it's a Christman freaking Miracle!
They enveloped Gang Orca into a prison of fire, while this was happening, some of the cement shooters veered away from Katsuki and I to shoot Shoto, but he used his ice to blow their shots.
While they were distracted I used my Shoot Style to knock out a few more of them, before getting ready to take on more. Then, the reinforcements have arrived.
"General! We're here to help!" Mashirao yelled as he knocked out a few more. That must mean the evac was successful and backup is on the way.
"Boy am I glad to see you, you're definitely getting promoted after this." I responded as I helped him take out more.
"Heh, I'm surprised you didn't take them down." He replied.
"Things happened, but no time for small talk." I said as we continued to fight. Mina, Fumikage, Tsu, Chewbacca and other students from other schools arrived to help with the combat. However, Gang Orca freed himself.
"WELL?! WHAT NOW?!" Gang Orca asked as he began walking towards them. Time for the General to step in.
"GET AWAY FROM MY COLONEL!" I yelled as I delivered the strongest kick I can muster, he blocked it with his arm brace, but that soon shattered, and the force sent him flying into the wall, but it didn't really matter.
"Ahem, at present every last HUC member on the field has been rescued from immediate danger. Therefore, I declare this test over!" The announcer yelled, "The results will be announced once all the scores have been tallied. Those with injuries please proceed to the medical area... Everyone else, get changed and stand by for instructions."
I quickly rushed over to Gang Orca, "Are you alright? Didn't mean to kick that hard." I said helping him up.
"Oof, that had a bit of muster behind it. But I'm alright, good job out there." He said dusting off his shoulders.
"Well what can I say, I am their General." I replied.
"... I can see that." He said before pointing me towards Shoto and the others, "You should head on back, the reveals will be in 30 minutes."
"Right." I said as I rushed back towards Katsuki, Shoto, and the others.
Here's hoping Shoto pulled through even if he and Yoarashi royally screwed each other.
"This waiting is totally the worst part." Kyouka commented.
"Totally." Ochako muttered with a nervous face.
"Same here." Minoru said with an equally nervous face.
"I understand. As long as you tried your best." Momo said trying to ease their worries... bless her heart.
Shoto was looking at the floor... he isn't confident on if he'll pass. I'll be honest, neither am I at the moment.
"It's been a long battle, boys and girls, but for now it's time for the results. Before that, though... regarding the scoring system, We of the Heroes Public Safety Commission, along with the members of the HUC were deducting points on two issues as we watched you perform." The announcer said before tapping on the screen, "Essentially... we judged you on your abilities to act flawlessly in a crisis. Anyhow, here are the names of those who passed the test, in alphabetical order. Keeping everything I've said in mind, please take a look..."
...
...
There I am. So is Katsuki, Momo, Ochako, Tenya, everyone in 1-A... except one.
Shoto isn't up there... neither is Yoarashi.
"Todoroki!" A loud voice yelled, it was Yoarashi. The two stared at each other for a few seconds... before Yoarashi slammed his head into the ground. "I'M SORRY! It's entirety my fault that you didn't pass! My pettiness is to blame! I'm sorry!"
"Nah, I started it back then... there's no need to all this. You approached me openly and honestly as well as helped me realize somethings." Shoto said.
"Todoroki you fai-"
"Stand up." I said as I marched over to Yoarashi, he got his head off the ground and looked at me, "You realized your mistakes... once they were too late, so I'm only giving you one slap."
*WHAM*
"OW!" He yelled gripping his face.
"You get one too." I said as I slapped Shoto on the left side of the face.
He didn't say ow, but he gripped the impact area of his face.
"I have the right of mind to yell at you two pricks. But I already yelled everything I wanted to say earlier... and my throat is sore. You better hope you rock the retakes in a month, or there will be 9 levels of hell to pay." I said.
"Wait... retakes?" Shoto asked.
"... Oh, I got ahead of myself didn't I?" I asked.
"Yeah... you did." The announcer said, "Well anyway, I assume you've all had a chance to view the results. Next, we'll be handing out score sheets. We've explained the scoring system in detail, so read them over."
"Midoriya." One of the test handers said as he handed me the test.
...
...
"Oh fuck, no." I said.
"What? Did you barely pass?" Denki asked as I showed him my score.
"99... I GOT 99 FREAKING POINTS! I WAS OFF BY 1 POINT!" I yelled.
...
...
"Snrk, BAHAHAHAHAHA!" Everyone, including Tenya, and Shoto of all people, laughed.
"Hush, this is pathetic! I failed as a General... what did I do wrong?" I asked as I looked at my reviews. "Did well as a leader, and your planning before the second portion was excellent."
"So they were watching even during break time?" Momo asked.
"Yeah seems like it." I said before continuing to read, "Using your speed to help with supply delivery was a good use of your Quirk. Your ability to stall the enemy with your 'silver tongue' was excellently done it not only bought the evacuation team time, but it allowed your allies to come and assist you. The only problem? You shouldn't scold your teammates in the field of battle, good intentions or not." I read out loud before turning back towards Shoto and Yoarashi, "So I'm sure you're aware... but I'm saying it again anyway, leave petty shit out of work. Or else it'll screw other people too, specifically ME!"
"But how the fuck did you get a better score than me?!" Katsuki exclaimed showing me his 79.
"Refined talent? Natural good looks? My charming attitude? All of the above probably." I said.
Before Katsuki could rebut, the announcer continued his speech. He explained that now that we passed the exam, we are allowed to use our Quirks in EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. He emphasized that part. He then began to explain All Might's retirement, and how that's impacting heroes and villains across Japan, and us earning our Provisional Licenses will help combat the villain uprising and set a new standard for heroes, but this next part was important.
"Now then... ahem... for those of you who didn't make the cut. Don't be disheartened by your scores. You don't have time for that. Especially because there's still a chance." He said, "As one of you hinted at, if you sign up for a three month long training course, and pass each individual test at the end... you too will be rewarded your provisional licenses."
He then began to explain that the 100 of us who passed the prelims, have potential worth cultivating and growing. He then stated that just because some of us failed doesn't mean we don't have hope to succeed, as such the three month training course, for those who want it, they would have to juggle the course and regular school work, but there is always the next test in April.
I glanced towards him... and he nodded, knowing what I was implying, "I won't let you down again, General." He said.
I smiled, "Good, and until you pass the course, you're officially demoted from Colonel to Lieutenant Colonel." I said.
He nodded, "I'll be back for my rank."
"You better." I said, before walking up to Yoarashi, "And you... I promised Chewbacca over there that Shiketsu and U.A will bridge relations. So you better pass too, and drag real Camie with you. She was robbed of her opportunity."
He nodded and prepared to slam into the ground, "And for the love of all that is good. Stop. Slamming. Your head. Into. The ground." I said as he paused a good foot away from the ground.
"Y-Yes sir-"
"IT'S GENERAL!"
"YES GENERAL!" He yelled with a salute.
"That's what I like to hear, at ease." I said as he stopped saluting.
19/20, while still an A, isn't 100%.
Shoto you better pass the three month course.
"Huh... not bad lookin." I said as I looked at my license. Name, height, age, weight, hero name: Aspirations, it's funny how that slowly became fitting, I don't know if that's good or not... my lazy character trait has been erased... I'm sad.
Well might as well send a picture to Mom and All Might.
"Yo, Eraser!" It's Ms. Joke, "Glad I caught you. I was thinking we should bring our classes together for some joint training."
"Sure, sounds good." Mr. Aizawa said.
"HEY!" Yoarashi yelled while rushing towards us.
"It's the Shiketsu guys." Tsu pointed out.
"TODOROKI! I'LL SEE YOU AT THE TRAINING COURSE! BUT I STILL DON'T REALLY LIKE YOU! JUST APOLOGIZING IN ADVANCE FOR THAT SORRY!" He yelled before speeding away.
Well... at least he's not being a jerk about it. Oh it's Chewbacca.
"Hey, Chewbacca... I apologize for getting physical with Yoarashi." I apologized.
"It's quite alright, he needed something to learn from... that slap to the face will be like phantom pain for him until he passes." He said.
"Well keep an eye on him... I'm appointing you as General in my place." I said.
"I am honored to be given such a role." He said before heading over to his school
... There's still one thing left to do.
"Hey, Mr. Aizawa." I said as I was the last one to get on the bus.
"What is it Midoriya?" Mr. Aizawa asked.
"... I want to see Toga."
*End of Chapter*
(A/N Damn this was a long boy. I debated on whether or not to split it up into two chapters, but I decided to just leave it as is. Bad decision? Probably, but it's for a good cause. This chapter is now... OVER 9,000! Words... bad joke? Yeah it was, but come on, it had to happen. Anyway, the next few chapters should actually be fun. For once I'm excited to write the Overhaul Arc, it's a freaking miracle! Anyway time to get to work.)
