Matt ran up and started slicing up the fake villains with his sword. He cut the arm off of one, then cut diagonally through another. He simply tapped one and it started firing through the other robots.

That was Matt's quirk, communication, and it allowed him to take control and talk to any machine. It was extremely useful. Like when the stove breaks down, or when your car loses power.

He looked over to see Erin clawing through the other robots as well. She flipped over one, landed on another and threw it at the one she flipped over. She smirked at him and he rolled his eyes.

"Show off..."

"You know you love it."

"Can't say that I don't."

Matt dodged a charge and stabbed one and threw it at another one and cut 1 vertically in half. Erin ripped off ones arm and spewed out water which cut through a robot.

Tsuyu was slowly dismantling the robots. She hopped on one and kicked it. Then got behind it and threw it at the wall. She didn't notice the two-point robot come up behind her, though.

Matt checked up on Tsuyu again and he ran over to her, drawing his sword.

"Hey you damn bucket of bolts!"

"Huh?!"

Tsuyu turned around just as Matt blocked the attack, and pushed it back and sliced up the robot. He sighed andlaughed and turned around and gave a hand to Tsuyu.

"You okay? That was a close one, huh?"

"Y-yeah, thanks..." Tsuyu drifted off as she blushed and thought of Matt when shesaw this strangers face. Brown hair, blue eyes, yet this kid had a small scar on hisupper lip.

Red hoodie ran over and scolded him.

"Don't rush in like that, stupid!"

"Ow, sorry.. hey, don't hit me! Jeez... I just wanted to defend this damsel in distress. It's my job as a knight you know!"

Both girls looked unimpressed at his declaration, and the disguised Erin looked at Tsuyu.

"Sorry about his idiocy. I think you shouldn't stick around him. It's contagious," "HEY!" ".. so I guess we should get going, huh?"

Tsuyu nodded after getting out of her stupor.

"Yeah. Thanks for saving me...?"

"Oh, I'm Mark, full-fledged knight, and soon to be pro hero-in-training."

Matt motioned to Erin.

"And this is Aeris. She's been my friend for as long as I can remember."

"Ok. I'm Tsuyu Asui. Just call me Tsuyu."

Both friends nodded, and turned to fight the robots.


Matt ran up to a robot and held out the sword's hiltas a gun barrelpopped out and fired a shot that sliced through an enemy. The bullet kept going and exploded on a robot's face.

"Heh, still got it. Oh,I love you, my gun-sword. Don't ever leave me."

As Matt rubbed his cheek on the sword, Erin hurdled over Matt and put her fingers in a gun shape. A sphere of water shot out and electrocuted a robot, making it explode.

She bit another robot with her shark-like teeth and threw it to another one, which crashed into a wall.

"Five minutes left, huh? Where's that big robot Present MC talked about?"

She looked around and saw Tsuyu taking out a few robots. She looked to see a tan haired spiky boy literally blow up robots.

"A few of them have cool powers."

Matt was also running around looking at the competition. He saw a green-haired boy looking around confused.

"That kid'll get himself killed. Oh well. Not my problem yet."

He shot a robot without even looking at it, then impaled and slashed another one. He dodged out of the way of a punch and threw one into the sky.

"This has been going on for a long time. Can't be more than... 2 minutes left?" He asked, unsure of himself. He looked around and decided to move towards Tsuyu.


Everyone was running away from the giant robot, even our heroes. Tsuyu was lacking behind, with Matt and Erin behind her. Until someone shouted,

"DIEEEEEEE!"

And the giant just crashed into the building the three protagonists were under. A huge slab of rock was falling into Tsuyu and Matt and Erin both yelled.

"TSUYU!"

Erin and Matt's hoodies fully came off, showing Erin's waist length red hair. Tsuyu's heart skipped a beat when she saw her best friends, protecting her from the rocks.

"Matt... E-Erin...?" She asked, choking up before Matt sliced through the rock andturned to Tsuyu.

"Yup..." he had a somber smile on his face. "Sorry for not telling you sooner. We wanted to be a suprise. So, uh... suprise!"

Erin smiled happily and gave her a slip of paper.

"This is the address of our apartment. We can't talk now, sadly, but after classes go to this place in apartment 4." Erin quicklyhugged Tsuyu. "Seeya!"

Matt gave a quick two finger salute as he sheathed his sword. "See ya later, alligator!"

Tsuyu waved and mumbled a "..sure you guys."

She couldn't help herself as a huge grin broke out on her face. They were here! They were back! Best entrance exam ever. Tsuyu walked to see who was ranked in the rankings.


Matt walked up to the rankings and quickly scanned over the list:

1. Bakugou Katsuki:73 Villian / 0 Rescue

So Explosion Boy was never one, eh? That'll make things interesting. He quickly spotted his and the girls' names as well.

4. Matthew Dils: 68 Villian / 23 Rescue

7. Erin Langeron: 65 Villian / 23 Rescue

13. Tsuyu Asuu: 45 Villian / 10 Rescue

"Yes! I'm in the top 5! Now I'm getting ready to beat everyone ahead of me!"

Erin giggled and patted his head.

"Don't get too excited, Matt. We gotta get back to the apartment and get our papers in order."

"Oh right." Matt blinked once and snapped around to go to their apartment.

Tsuyu watched them walking away and looked at the paper in her hand. 'Matt, Erin. I'll see you in a few hours, once I get back to my family and tell them the news.


Tsuyu closed the door behind her and sighed and fell down to the floor. She sighed and removed her shoes.

She got up and went to the living room to find her entire family there, waiting for her. Beru turned to her daughter.

"So honey, how was the exam?"

"I passed. There's a three day grace period between when now and when school starts."

"That's great honey! Say, what's that in your hand?" Ganma looked confused as he looked at her hand. "Is it... a piece of paper?"

"Yes.. it was given to me by some friends."

Beru and Ganma looked at each other, confused. Matt and Erinwere the only close friends Tsuyu had and she only accepted the address of her close friends.

"It's uh... Matt's and Erin's. They moved back to Tokyo. They took the entrance exam." Tsuyu said as she sat down between her parents.

Beru screamed and Ganma just had a look of extreme happiness on his face.

"Really!? How are they? Are they healthy? Are they together? Where are they living?!" Beru was shooting off questions a mile a minute.

"Calm down dear, calm down." Ganma chuckled and then looked to Tsuyu. "Sow how are they really? Do they look healthy?"

"Yup! Matt was... admittedly cute, and Erin looked beautiful." Tsuyu was smiling as she recited what she say. "I'm gonna pay their apartment a visit, and see if I can't sleepover, if that's okay?"

Tsuyu looked to her parents expectantly. Both Beru and Ganma nodded their heads. Tsuyu ran up the stairs to get clothes and such.


As Tsuyu came down the stairs, she noticed her little siblings were missing. She looked down the hallway to their room, but it was closed, signaling they weren't here.

"Hey mom, where are Samidari and Satsuki? I can't see them." Tsuyu asked as she came back downstairs, with a backpack on her shoulders.

"Oh, they're having a little sleepover. Like you are." Beru looked to her daughter. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow I hope."

Tsuyu nodded and set off for her friends apartment.


As Tsuyu stepped up to the apartment door, she hesitated. She wasn't sure whether this was a good idea. She hadn't darn them for 9 years. What if they weren't the same?

'No!' she thought, 'they are still my best friends!' Tsuyu took a few deep breaths, then knocked on the door.

There was a moment of silence before she heard footsteps coming up to the door. It drew back, opening to reveal Matt in a cooking apron, brown hair undone from its ponytail, and mouth set in a grin.

"Hey stranger! Come on in. As much as I would love to have a tearful reunion here, this is ahallway, so..." He motioned into the apartment.

Tsuyu nodded, trying to hold back the tears. She walked in, took her shoes off. The hallway connected to the dining room/kitchen, to her right, there was a small stairway that curved, to the bedrooms.

On her left, was a dining table on the wall with two entryways to the left and right of it. She saw a couch, a rocking chair, a coffee table, a tv stand, a tv, and a surround sound system.

Tsuyu say Erin stretched out on the couch, watching a tv show. She turned around and saw Matt making dinner. He stopped, and Erin got up to look in the dining room and her eyes lit up in joy.

Tsuyu was at her breaking point and started to sniffle a bit.

"Hey what's wrong, Tsu?" Oh god, he used the nickname for god. They were back. They were Real.

"I-I just...you're real... and here.. and I... I..." she couldn't finish as she started crying and latched onto Matt, wrapping her arms around his body.

"Hey... hey, don't cry... of course we're here... we promised right?" Matt whispered to Tsuyu, and wrapped his arms around her. Erin came up tearfully and joined in on the hug.

They stayed like that for a few seconds more, before Tsuyu pulled away, still sniffling a little.

"I'm gonna go sit down. Hey Erin, wanna come with me?"

"Sure."

"I'll make sure dinner's ready." Matt went back to finishing up dinner, and set it onto the coffe table, and flopping onto the couch where Erin and Tsuyu were.


Eventually, it became very late. No one wanted to leave each other yet, so they all say together on the couch. Tsuyu was laying down, her head on Matt's lap.

Erin was leaning on Matt's shoulder, her hand on Tsuyu's head. Matt was in the middle, slowly brushing Tsuyu'shair. He sighed, turning off the TV. He closed his eyes, happy he was with his friend again.

Until his eyes snapped open suddenly.

"I have to pee."
