New chapter! Izuku finally takes the test. Will be showing a new quirk or two for this one! Also regarding a review. Thick skin doesn't help against 5 billion joules of lightling. On with the story!
Holy carp it's huge.
Izuku stood in front of the mock city. It was the size of an actual one. Where did they get the resources to build these?
He looks around to see the others have support items to help with their quirks. Maybe he should have gotten something. Painkillers? Nah he can handle the pain.
He looks to see the girl that helps him. Maybe he should go say hi? He needs to thank her anyways.
"That Girl seems to be doing some meditation. Why are you here? Hoping to interfere?"
Oh crap it's that guy.
He could feel people whispering about his weakness. The comments hurt him.
"That kid was acting like an idiot back at the front gate."
"He flinched at the slightest touch."
"That's one less rival to worry about."
He doesn't blame them for thinking like that, in here they all want to get in to U.A, that means every man for themselves.
"AND BEGIN!"
Everyone looks to see Present Mic on a watch tower.
"WHAT'S WRONG? THE TEST HAS STARTED! RUN! RUN! THE DIE HAS CAST!"
Izuku looks back to see everyone had immediately reacted.
"HUH?!"
Crap I'm already behind! No choice! Have to use Super Speed. 10% Power should do.
Izuku dash through the examinees and shove a few of them away, and apologising for that.
"Sorry pardon me. Sorry! Excuse me!"
He stopped and look to find faux villains.
"Target locked! Prepare for extermination!"
"No thanks!"
He punch the One-Pointer with his right hand, destroying it.
Okay, the One-Pointers are quick but fragile, it didn't even hurt my hand.
Izuku uses his Super Speed again and run to villain by villain, destroying them.
Alright, I got at least 19 points.
"28 points!"
What?!
He turns to see the girl from before had destroyed a bunch of robots.
"45 points!"
Okay what the heck?!
"32!"
"Hey that's mine! I got that first!"
He may had gotten a head start but he didn't rack up enough points! He use his enhance senses to try to filter out the sound of robots.
Wait, what's that huge machine underneath that area?
Meanwhile
Inside a dark room, the teacher's were observing the examinees and grading them.
"We didn't tell them how many enemies there are and where they are located. Such a wide area with limited time brings out the best in them."
Nedzu was explaining how they grade examinees to All Might
"There are those who can gather information at an instant. Intelligence gatherers. Those who'll never be late to a party. Mobility Experts. Those who can cope with any situation given. Decision makers. And then there are the natural born warriors..."
Nedzu points to the screen with Izuku on it "And there are those who are a combination of all four. The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
There was a discussion among the teachers.
"This year's quite a bumper crop isn't it?"
"There's no way to know."
"But this should tell us more."
One of them pressed a button labelled 'Yaruki Switch'
Meanwhile
HOLY MOTHER OF...
Izuku fall on his butt when he saw the giant monster of a Zero-Pointer. It was taller than buildings and obviously stronger as it sent a dust cloud when it punch the street.
This is too big! Gotta get away! I don't have enough points!
He started to activate his Super Speed when he heard "HELP!"
He looks behind to see the nice girl from before. Now trapped under some rubble.
"It's bad luck to trip and fall."
Izuku immediately change directions and run to the girl. He had to save her.
He ran and stopped near her and hold his hand above him, catching the robot fist about to crush her. Holy crap this thing's strong. He could feel his muscles being torn, only staying together because of his Regeneration. He could slowly feel it becomign harder to push back.
He has to use it. He wince, this is gonna hurt a lot.
Four bone like things made of tungsten came out from his back. He uses them to help push back the fist a little bit.
[sorta like Iron Spider arms. Except they are silver]
"Hey, can you move?" He asks the girl
She nodded
"I can't hold this thing for long, use your quirk on the rubble now."
She complied and use it on the rubble trapping her feet, freeing her.
"Great now get out of here!" He suddenly felt the fist getting more and more heavier, he heard the tungsten appendages on his back start to creak.
"But what about you? You'll get crush!"
He smiled "Don't worry I'll be fine."
She reluctantly ran away. Great, now I have space!
He charged electricity in his arms, he couldn't do it just now because he'll risk hurting the girl. But now he can.
Electricity, 5 billion joules!
He shot the equivalent of a lightling bolt up the Zero-Pointers arm, burning the circuits and damaging it beyond repair.
He felt the fist go limp and he retracted the appendages. He looks down at his fist to see it burnt and flayed, revealing the silver bones underneath it. The adrenaline wore off and he felt the angonising pain of his quirk.
Damn it! Crap, it hurts a lot! I got to hurry, I still need more-
He didn't finish the though because the Zero-Pointer's other arm smacked him into a nearby building.
Luckily his bones were lined with tungsten otherwise he would break all of them. He opens his eyes and saw the other hand about to smash him. He couldn't use another electric blast so he uses his heat vision to try to disable the hand.
It work because the hand went limped, the heat vision penetrated the armour and cut some wiring in it.
He then slipped and fell of the building. Damn it, why now?
He expected to fall and die and regenerate but was surprised when he felt someone slapped his face. His eyes regenerated and he turn his head to see the nice girl who was on top of a floating piece of a Three-Pointer.
She put her fingers together and said "Release."
And he fell flat in his face.
He saw the girl started to vomit, a side affect of her quirk? But thanks to her he didn't need to waste time regenerating from falling to his death. He started to crawl, his legs were too tired to move.
"Just one more, please I need one more." He begged hoping to every god or devil in the world.
"TIMES UP!"
No...
He fell on his knees in despair. He had failed Toshinori! Even if he passed the written test, he can't get in because of his low score in the practical test.
The other examinees look shock at Izuku but he ignored them. He's tired, maybe he'll take a short nap.
"That guy has more than one quirk?!"
"Is he a hybrid?"
"If he has that many quirks why was he so scared? Was it an act to trick us?"
"Jokes on him, he doesn't have enough points to get in."
Meanwhile the blue haired boy stared silently. No, weren't they looking? He must have knew that he wouldn't have enough time if he went back but he did it anyways.
He clench his fist.
If this wansnt a test... Of course I would have done the same thing!
He paused.
Wait, the test...
"Yes, well done everyone. You're all heroes in my eyes."
He turn to see an old woman passing through students. She gave some gummies to a nearby examinee "Have some gummy bears. Eat up."
She went to Izuku to check on him. And noticed that his wounds are already regenerating. But she gave him a kiss just in case.
The examinees recoiled at the action.
"What is she doing?"
A blonde, French sounding boy pointed his finger at her "You're looking at the backbone of U.A. The Youthful Hero: Recovery Girl. She's the only reason U.A can hold such reckless exams.
Meanwhile Iida continued his thoughts.
I see, if it's like that. Then the boy...
1 week later
Izuku was staring at the fish he was eating with a blank look on his face. Uncle Tsukauchi was babysitting Izuku Toshinori was busy with stuff.
"Are you okay? Stop staring at the fish, it's creepy."
"Huh? Oh right sorry!"
After dinner they watch some news and Naomasa tried to snap Izuku out of his trance. "I think it's cool you tried to apply. Even if you didn't make it, I'm sure you put on one heck of a show!"
When all attempts to snap Izuku out failed he went to the kitchen to get some coffee. He heard the doorbell rang and saw a letter being passed through the letter box.
"MIDORIYA! U.A sent a letter to you!"
This snapped his out and he took the letter from Naomasa's hands and took it to his room.
He stared at the letter. He knew he failed so why did they sent a letter anyways? Was it protocol?
He sighed and tore the letter open and was surprise to see a holographic disk instead of paper.
And was even more surprised when All Might appeared on it.
"HELLO! I AM HERE, AS A PROJECTION!"
Izuku was flabbergasted and tried to produce a sentence.
"HELLO YOUNG MIDORIYA! SORRY ABOUT NOT BEING HOME FOR A BIT, BUT I NEEDED TO DO SOME PAPER WORK FOR U.A! APPARENTLY DOING PAPERWORK IS NOT ONE OF MY ABILITIES! ANYWAYS I-"
He was cut off and he looked off screen.
"WHAT WAS THAT? HURRY IT UP? OH SURE I JUST NEED TO INFORM HIM ABOUT SOMETHING. WAIT I GOTTA DO HOW MANY?!"
Izuku was confused, did they forgot to edit out this part?
"OKAY LETS START AGAIN. YOU PASSED THE WRITTEN TEST WITH FLYIG COLOURS, BUT YOU ONLY SCORED 19 POINTS. SORRY BUT THAT ISN'T ENOUGH TO GET INTO U.A."
Izuku looks depressed. I knew it. I'm a failure. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves. He had failed to get into U.A but maybe he could-
His train of thoughts were intercepted by All Might.
"IF THAT WAS ALL TO THE CASE! LOOK AT THIS! A SHORT CLIP!" He dramatically pressed a remote button and the screen behind him lit up.
He was surprised when he saw the brown haired girl walking to Present Mic.
"SHE CAME HERE AFTER THE TEST TO NEGOTIATE! NEGOTIATE WHAT YOU SAY? STAY TUNE TO FIND OUT!"
"Excuse me, do you know that curly haired boy with freckles? The...uhh...plain looking one?"
She means me!
"Can you give him some of the points I earned?"
This shocked Izuku to the core. All his life people mistreated him, the scientist, the bullies at school and he never made any friends. The only people who cared were All Might And Naomasa.
Why was this girl risking her place in U.A for him?
"I heard him say 'just one more point'. That means he could have gotten more if it wasn't for me! Please give him some of mine. He saved my life!"
The video paused "THIS EXAM YOU SEE. WED WEREN'T JUST WATCHING FOR VILLAIN POINTS! THINK OF ALL THE CAMERAS!"
The video continued "I'm sorry but we can't give him your points. But I think he'll be alright."
"A HERO COURSE THAT REJECTS SOMEONE WHO DOES THE RIGHT THING, NO MATTER THE COST IS NO HERO COURSE AT ALL! SO WE HAVE RESCUE POINTS! A PANEL OF JUDGES WATCHES AND REWARD POINTS FOR HEROICE ACTIONS!"
Is he...saying what I think he's saying?
"IZUKU MIDORIYA, 60 RESCUE POINTS! AND FOR OCHAKO URARAKA, 45 RESCUE POINTS!"
"This can't be happening." Izuku could scarcely believe it.
"YOU BOTH PASSED!" Hologram All Might put his hand out. "COME, IZUKU MIDORIYA. YOU'VE MADE IT! YOU ARE NOW PART OF THE HERO ACADEMIA!"
That's all for this chapter, hope you like Izuku's new quirk. I based it off the Iron Spider spider legs. I just though it was cool. Leave a review and I'll see you in the next chapter.
