HEY EVERYBODY! HERE'S CHAPTER 27 OF DEATH AND BEYOND!
Now I know it has been a while.
Yes I'm an asshole. I know.
But with that being said I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, I managed to squeeze some of my time so I can actually make this so I hope you guys enjoy it.
The remaining days were spent on their training, the focus was to improve their skills in the upcoming Exams. With the focus solely on their training the days came and went and the Exam was upon them.
At the Takoba National Stadium
In this place is where the exam will be held.
The bus stopped and everybody stepped out, each and every one of them was anxious. When Tomomi got out he just stared at the stadium with determination.
'This is it.'
Tomomi P.O.V.
When I finally got out of the bus I thought this day was just going to be all about being professionals and be serious about everything. Well…
Meeting the Shiketsu Highschool students were slightly normal, meeting a guy that yelled our school's motto with us, then bowing his head so far down that he smashed it on the ground.
If that's normal…then yeah just normal.
So far that guy's name was Yoarashi Inasa, even though he received the top score, he declined his admission offer.
'Why did he decline though?' Narrowing my eyes 'To get Aizawa-sensei to tell us to be careful around him, that guy must be the real deal.'
"Eraser?! Eraser is that you?!" said a female voice, turning to source of the voice. I saw a young woman with an athletic build. She wears a bandana on her head, sleeveless tank top, thick fighting gloves with metal cuffs and vertically striped pants.
'Her attire resembles a clown. Is that?' Looking at Izuku who was in his 'fan-boy' mode and mumbling like crazy. 'That confirms it. This is the-.'
"THE SMILING HERO! "MS. JOKE! HER QUIRK IS CALLED ROARING LAUGHTER!" Izuku said interrupting my thoughts.
'Wonder what she wan-.'
"Let's get married!"
My knees actually felt weak a little there as I was caught off guard by that. 'Get married?! Is there a history here?'
"No thanks."
Giving Aizawa a deadpanned look 'Wow, you really show no mercy.'
Name: Emi Fukukado
Hero Name: The Smile Hero "Ms. Joke"
Quirk: Outburst/ Roaring Laughter
Info: Forces other people to laugh. She mostly uses her quirk in Villain Suppression.
After that each and every one of her students joined in and introduced themselves
'Ketsubutsu Academy huh?' Looking at all of them they do show potential, but all of them just like this one in front of me…..
"My name is Shindou, it's an honour." Grasping his hand.
…Are all naïve
"The honour is mine." The look on his face shows confidence. 'And that right there is your downfall.'
When he reached Bakugou, his hand was slapped away 'I guess he saw what I saw.'
1 hour later
"So many people!"
Izuku was right the whole room was full, everybody with their hero costumes on, and all of them from different schools.
"There are 1540 of you here taking this exam."
But this guy though needs some rest, he looks like he's about to pass out any second.
The explanation was simple, the first 100 examinees who achieved the required conditions will pass.
And one of the passing conditions was there in front of us.
"These targets must be put to any expose area, if the ball hits 3 of the targets then you're out. Whoever was the one that landed the third hit will be credited with a take-down. You need two take-downs to pass."
'So that's it huh?' Every student from different schools was glancing at us with a smile on their faces. 'I know what you are all thinking.' Looking at my classmates they don't seem to know the situation that we're in, looking at Shiro he seemed to catch my eyes and we shared an unspoken conversation. Nodding our head we prepared ourselves.
'Bring it.'
Third Person P.O.V.
"Well then once the expansion is complete, balls and targets will be distributed to you all."
"Expansion?" Todoriki asked then looked up when he felt the room vibrated, looking up he saw the ceiling was moving. This of course got everybody to look up as well.
Once the room fell, everybody saw a whole arena filled with many different terrains.
"Good luck to all of you."
5 minutes later
Everybody had their targets on some parts of their bodies. Class 1-A decided to group together with the exception of Bakugou with Kirishima following and Todoroki who jogged away.
Tomomi and Shiro decided to team up they were not far from the group so they can provide back-up.
"You noticed it too didn't you?" Shiro said jogging beside Tomomi.
"Yeah."
5
"Once everything starts they will all go to us."
"Yeah, we're rather famous."
4
"Yeah, but they can do it."
"Of course they can."
3
Tomomi stopped and so did Shiro. "Out of all of students here. We're the most experienced here."
Shiro nodded.
2
"So" Shiro started his shadow slowly covering his body. "So should we end this quickly or end it slowly?" he said already knowing the locations of the students that followed them.
"Quickly." Tomomi said already using his Earth Sonar "Let's show this guys never to underestimate anyone."
1
"TAKE THIS U.A.!" A student yelled throwing a ball and others followed, giving both Tomomi and Shiro a barrage of balls.
This was of course stopped by a rock dome, but instead of bouncing off the balls was imbedded to the wall itself.
"That's not gonna stop us!" said a female student who sent a rhino, that was made out of paper at the dome. The top part of the dome shattered and out came 7 black swords and pierced the rhino, destroying it. Once dispelled the wall shattered in the form of slabs and they were floating around the both of them. With a command of Tomomi the slabs was sent to each student, Some dodged the attack while some were still hit, knocking them out.
"You missed!" yelled a student with reptilian features.
"Did I?" Tomomi with his other hand conjured fire and sent it to the sky, he snapped his fingers and the fire exploded illuminating the field. This blind them but that was enough.
"Huh?" next thing the students know, a tendril-like thing wrapped around them and pulled them. Looking behind them they all saw the same slab of rock that Tomomi sent towards them with Shiro's Shadow Tendrils coming out and securing their movements.
"Your focus improved." Tomomi said looking at the 13 students they captured.
"Thanks." Shiro said and with a wave of his hand some tendrils took out the balls that was imbedded on the slab and pressed them on the targets. "Should we take them all down or do we show mercy?"
"Take them all down." Tomomi said without a hint of remorse "They should learn from this."
"Ok then."
"And with that we have our first two examinees that passed." He checked the monitor "Let's see-Huh?"
"13 examinees have been eliminated and it was done by two students!"
"What in the-UWAH! 120 Examinees have been eliminated! And only one person took down all of them!"
Tomomi and Shiro looked up at that.
"Well, someone's showing off." Tomomi said while Shiro was walking beside him.
"Yeah, think it's that Yoarashi guy?" Shiro asked still remembering earlier.
"Might be, out of all the people here he seems to be the one that has the most potential."
"Yeah, he's kind of an air-head."
"He might be, but he's powerful."
They were now in the waiting room, with only three students that passed the room was not packed as earlier. They walked in and followed them was Yoarashi.
"Oh hey! You two was the first to passed right? Oh man that's awesome!"
"Yeah, hello to you two."
"Hey."
Time has passed and the room was getting more and more cramped by the second. About an hour went and everybody in Class 1-A passed the first round.
"All right! We're all here!" they cheered.
Tomomi smiled at his friends as they cheered. Kaminari and Uraraka was doing a silly dance, with Bakugou looking at the both of them and his eyebrows twitched. Shiro and Izuku was chatting.
"Congratulations to you and your classmates." Said a voice behind Tomomi, turning around he saw a man? With hair all over his body.
"Ah, congrats to you as well."
"Tell me, you and that white-haired kid went off earlier. Why? Are you that confident in yourself?"
Tomomi began to think. "I'm not confident in myself. I'm confident at everyone, the students that were eliminated and even some that didn't are naïve. We were just proving a point and apprehending a lesson."
He seemed to think this as he just stared at Tomomi. "Very well. We really like to establish a good relationship with U.A. so please forgive our rudeness."
"No problem, but I'm not the only one who you should be asking for forgiveness."
"You are correct and with that I will be off." He said walking away.
"Now with that please turn your attention to the screen." The voice announced and they all did as what they were told.
*Boom*BOOM*BOOM* A sequence of explosions was erupted and all of the sites was just destroyed and started to crumble.
"Why would they do that?"
"What the hell just happened?"
As the smoke cleared they all saw some figure in the smoke
"What is that?"
"This right here will be you next and last stage of the exams."
It was shown the figures were
"Elderly?!"
"Children?!"
"Wait there are people in there!"
"No shit Sherlock!"
"Your next Test will be RESCUE!"
Tomomi P.O.V.
Minutes have passed and we were just waiting for the second part of the exam to start, it is also hard to ignore the fact that Kaminari and Mineta was interrogating Izuku, it seems that he caught the attention of a girl and earlier the said girl was on top of him….naked.
'I don't think Mina liked that.' Looking at the direction of the said girl, I noticed that she was glancing at Izuku from time to time. 'Well good luck Izuku.'
Suddenly an alarm blared
I turned to my left and saw Tsuyu there.
"It's starting."
The walls of the waiting room collapsed and at that everybody went their separate ways.
"Hey I got an injured here!"
"Med kits are at the waiting room!"
"Hey how about the others?!"
Tomomi was staring at everybody 'Tsk, everybody is too random. We need order here or else this rescue is going to fail.'
"Hey, all of the injured people that you found bring them here in the waiting room. Those who have medical experience please go back and tend to the injured." Raising my voice everybody turned towards me.
"And who left you in charge?" asked a random student.
"Nobody really. But with how everybody is, this is bound to fail."
"You don-."
"What's the plan?" the guy from earlier said.
"Ok. Cellophane, Uravity and Sugarman go and find the civilians that are caught in the blast in the mountain area. Are there any more people that are either good at lifting or can assist the injured here?" I asked and some people raised their hands, albeit reluctantly, I'll take what I can get. "Ok you two what can you do?"
"My Quirk helps numb some of the muscles in the body making me good with injure people."
"Mine, let's me become steel making me support beam of some sort."
I nodded and instructed them to join Sato and the others.
"Can't Stop Twinkling. You will provide light when you go to buildings, joining you will be Chargebolt and Tentacole." They nodded and I sent students by groups.
Next thing you know the waiting room was almost filled with civilians. Tomomi was instructing everybody what to do.
Creati was left behind because she can make many useful things that these people need and it's a coincidence that someone can multiply anything with just a snap of her fingers, with that Momo was not using most of her fats and can just focus on making one thing and the girl can just multiply it.
Another problem was water, Tomomi sent Froppy and other students that are water-type quirks to help find water and contain it.
He sent the fighters with people that are in need of help destroying some of the debris or just use another muscle, he's able to do this with the person next to him. It was a guy that was able to communicate with anyone telepathically, the catch was he can't communicate alone, long story short he's like a walking walkie-talkie.
Shiro was with some students using his tendrils to either move some debris or pull some people out.
Everything was going great so far.
*BOOOOM!*
Until an explosion came and everybody just stood there. The smoke cleared and they all saw..
"GANG ORCA!"
'I guess they will be the enemies.' I looked at the guy next to me. "Give this message to everybody." He nodded
"Hello, this is E-User from base, are there any nearby fighters in the area of the enemy?"
"Deku, here I'm close to the area."
"Shindou here, on route to the area."
"Gale here."
"Shouto here."
"Ground Zero, civilian evacuated and on route to the area."
I nodded.
"Shindou make an earthquake to unbalance them, Shouto and Gale provide back up. Deku evacuate any of the people in the area. Ground Zero assist Shouto and Gale when you reached them."
"Roger/ Got it."
"Everybody else, all I ask is to fasten the pace in the rescue."
"Roger!"
Third Person P.O.V.
The fight if you can call it that was getting out of hand. Shindou made an earthquake and made some of the enemies off balanced then proceeded to being blown up by Ground Zero or aka Bakugou.
The ones that were not caught by the quake was frozen by Todoroki. Then was sent away with a powerful wind attack by Gale.
This is when everything went down.
With the bad blood between them, there were no way for them to cooperate, hence making their Quirks cancel each other out.
'Focus!'
Todoroki sending another stream of flames, but-
"AGAIN!?"
The wind made the flames go to another direction, the flame was headed towards Shindou. He was inches away from the flames when he was suddenly grabbed and put away from the flames.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Yelled Izuku, grabbing Shindou he began to head towards the safe area to have Shindou treated.
"Gah!" Gale was shot down and was now immobilized.
Izuku was running with the gang Orca behind him
*Crack* when suddenly the floor below them gave in
"Wha?"
"Go! They're only down for a moment so finish the damn job!"
He didn't need to be told twice and charged at the enemy.
*FOOSH*
A giant tempest of flame and wind came and at the center of it was the leader of the gang Orca.
'Not bad.' He thought
"Maybe we should-GAH!" the enemy was interrupted by a kick that was sent to his abdomen.
'Surprise the enemy!' Izuku thought and landed down, and continuously dodged the projectiles that was sent towards him.
*Shing*
A sword embedded itself in front the enemy stopping their shooting
"What i-WHOA!" He didn't finish because something wrapped around his foot and began to slam him to his comrades. Tomomi with his water whip then slammed the person to the ground.
"Hey, Izuku back-up is here." Tomomi said and proceeded to fight the enemies in close combat.
"I'm going to borrow this." Ojiro said grabbing the arm of the enemy and slammed him to his comrades as well."
"Hey Izu! We're here to help!"
"Out of the way DEKU!" Bakugou said blasting everybody in his way.
"Everyone.." Izuku said and smiled "Let's finish this thing!"
"Hello, everyone. If I may have you attention. The last member of the HUC has been rescued and with that I declare that this examination is COMPLETED!"
And with that the exam was finished and right now after the students have changed they were now just waiting for the result.
"Behind me you will see the names of the people who passed the test."
Names were suddenly on the board and everybody searched for their names.
"OH YEAH! THAT'S MY NAME RIGHT THERE!"
"OH YEAH I PASSED!"
Tomomi smiled seeing his name on the list.
Tomomi Tatsuma
'Yep I passed.'
He looked towards a certain person
'But he didn't.'
He was looking at Todoroki who was staring at a bowing Yoarashi.
"We will now give hand outs that reads your deduction of points, please read them carefully and take them to heart."
Tomomi stared at his paper. "How about you Shiro what's your score?"
"I got a 95. It says here that sometimes I need to be careful, some of the debris might still fall and lastly try to make a face of reassurance so that the civilians actually feel safe and not feel like a mission." He looked at Tomomi "How about you?"
"I got a 95.5. It says that sometimes when I lead make sure to not go to the battlefield and stay at the base. And lastly try to put more thought on who I send next time."
"Understandable."
They then both heard the sound of something teeth grinding, turning to the direction they saw Bakugou with a certain aura.
"How about you Bakugou?"
"I got a fucking 48."
"Why?"
"It says try to lessen when I curse, or not curse at all. Then try not to put an angry face all the time. All the said on the list are the many times I cursed."
'I always knew that cursing of yours will bite you in the ass.'
After that it was explained that those who didn't pass today still have a chance. Mineta tried to discourage Todoroki but was silenced by swords and a very hot flame next to 'certain area'
After that they went and took their licence.
Provisional Hero Permission Licence
Tatsuma Tomomi
Hero Name: E-User
Tomomi was staring at his licence with a smile on his face, taking a picture he sent the photo to his mom. He looked up and saw Aizawa standing there. He went towards him and ask something that was bugging him.
"Hey sensei?"
"Hm?"
"Are you and Ms. Joke that close?"
"If you're asking the dating kind then no."
"Why?"
"Those are only distractions for heroes. And her hero name is literally has a Joke on it, everything is a joke."
"Do you want to?"
He didn't answer that question and that only made a point in his head.
"You know, you may call them distractions. But I don't."
"Then what do you call of them?"
"Something to lose." Tomomi took a step backwards then put his arms to the side. "If you have something to lose, it makes life worth living."
He just stared at Tomomi.
"Just try it. I'm the one who's older here remember?"
"Hey Eraser! With all of this thing going on I think it may be good to do some cooperative activities you know."
"Yes, I agree on that one."
"Good let's get married!" she said with a smile, but if someone would look closely you would see a tiny blush on her cheeks.
Aizawa was about to say no, but thinking Tomomi's words made him think otherwise, looking behind her he saw Tomomi giving him a thumbs up. Taking a deep breath he looked at Ms. Joke.
"How about dinner first?"
"Eh?"
"Message me later for the details." He said walking towards the bus.
"Wh-Dinner-Sure-I mean-sure-time-WAIT!"
And that's a wrap I don't think I have anything to announce I'm just going to sleep because there is still school tomorrow.
So with that
