Chapter 4: General Studies Exam
"Everyone, hang on! Grab onto something"!
What a great way to start off the day! Today was an important day, but Spider-Man had a job to do. He shot two webs to assist him in stopping the out-of-control bus, but it wasn't enough. He leaped in front of the bus and used his strength to stop the crash.
"Crap… I don't even think this is enough… Hey! Does anybody have a Quirk that can stop the wheels from turning?! If you do… Hurry up"!
Spider-Man kicked both of his legs in front of him and tightened his grip on the bus, crushing the front part of it in the process. His stress only grew when he looked up.
'Oh no. I have to stop this now' Izuku said as he saw several people crossing the street and felt beyond worried.
"Come on, Come on"!
Just then he heard a loud noise from the back of the bus and felt the bus slowing down a bit.
"Now it's all up to me. I can do this, yeah"!
Once again, Midoriya slammed his legs onto the concrete floor and let out a yell. As the bus came to a full stop he was met face-to-face with a crowd of people. Izuku let go off the bus and took a breath of relief. He then began to hear clapping from the crowd and looked up. "He stopped the bus!"
"He saved me! Again!"
"That was so manly".
Izuku couldn't help but blush under his mask. He never got this much appreciated in his 4 years of working secretly as a vigilante. It felt nice, to say the least. "Oh, this really isn't necessary I was trying to help. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to regularly scheduled life".
Spider-Man web-swung away and began making his way across town. Usually, he would be doing this for the rest of the day, but today he is supposed to be on his way to U.A. Not as Spider-Man however but as a student. Izuku landed into an alleyway, grabbed his yellow backpack which contained his black school uniform, and began to change. When he finished he saw his newly repaired suit which was needed upgrade.
His suit was was still mostly red and blue spandex, but with a few adjustments. During the ten months that was between the day he met All Might and his U.A. orientation, Izuku tried to find a way to make his suit be able to protect him while still being flexible enough to move in. He thought about a classic look he had a few years ago and thought about improving the old design. He went with a red mask with round lenses. He updated the Spider from his old suit and made the spider less menacing and smaller.
He also designed to add a little emerald green to both his boots and gloves. Streaks of green could also be seen surrounding the spider and leggings. The finishing touch to his suit was a bit of protection to his forearms, knees, and elbows. He closed his backpack and made his way to U.A. High.
"8:40 AM, just in the nick of time. I studied all night so I should hopefully have a good enough grade to be accepted here. I just hope the test doesn't take too long."
"Outta my way, Deku"!
Izuku fell to the ground after he was pushed. He looked up to see Bakugou as jolly as ever. "Watch it Katsuki! Jeez".
Izuku got his backpack from the ground as he saw Bakugo walk away and towards the building.
"What a jerk. Are you alright"? Midoriya looked behind him to see a girl helping him up from the ground.
"That's no way to treat someone, what is his problem?"
"Who? Katsuki? I… don't really know. He just doesn't like me all that much. Oh, I'm Izuku by the way. Izuku Midoriya."
"Ochaco Uraraka. Are you here for the hero entrance exam?"
"Oh, no. I'm here to participate in General Studies. Are you?"
"Yep! I'm a little nervous, but really happy to be here."
"Same here. I'll see inside, I don't want to be late for the exam."
"Me neither. Bye Midoriya!"
"See you later, Uraraka".
~General Department (Class 1-C)~
Izuku made his way into the classroom and saw several students seated waiting for something. Izuku took an open seat next to a kid with wavy brown hair and looked around to see the classroom.
"Hey, do you know when the teacher's arriving?" Izuku asked the kid next to him.
"Hm. I don't know. They're probably giving a speech to the kids going to the hero course. I just want to pass my test so I can get into this school."
"I know what you mean. U.A. doesn't just help students become Pro Heroes, it also offers students the opportunity to explore their interests while simultaneously preparing them for a wide variety of careers."
"That's the main reason I chose this school. What's your name by the way?"
"Oh, sorry about that. My name's Izuku Midoriya. And you are?"
"Are… are you serious? You don't recognize me?"
"No… Should I?"
"Don't mind him" A feminine voice interrupted their conversation. Izuku looked over to see a girl with thick blonde hair smirking at the two.
"Why do you always have to get involved, Liz?"
"It's nothing personal. Not everybody needs to know who the great Harry Osborn is."
"Harry Osborn? Like Norman Osborn?"
"Yep. This kid is his son. I'm Elizabeth Allan. But you can call me Liz"
"Izuku. I'm guessing you two are pretty close."
"We are, but she can be a bit annoying. We decided on moving to Musutafu because of U.A."
"I see. So it's just you two?"
"It's me, Liz, and a girl named Laura. I think she might be a little late, but I don't blame her."
"Why?"
"Well, she had a pretty rough childhood and is trying to get used to having a normal life. That's all I can say if you wanna know more you can ask her yourself".
Izuku nodded and turned back to his desk. It was nice to have a normal conversation with potential classmates and with people who didn't look at him weirdly. Once, the teacher arrived, everyone got settled down.
~2 Hours Later~
Izuku grabbed his backpack and got ready to leave. As he got ready to walk out of the door, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Izuku, do you have a ride to go home?"
"Um, no, but..."
"Come with the three of us. We have plenty of room in the car for others, you interested?"
"I can't turn down an offer like that".
Izuku walked with Harry while Liz and a girl long straight black hair walked behind them. He assumed this was Laura. Just before Izuku left someone caught his eye. "I'll meet you guys outside, I gotta talk with someone first."
"Alright don't take to long".
Izuku nodded and made his way to the girl who was in front of the school. "Hey, Uraraka."
"Oh, Hey Deku!"
"Deku"?!
Izuku lost balance and fell on his face. As he got up he had a confused expression. "Why did you call me Deku?"
"I remember overhearing that name when Bakugo pushed you and he said that name again when I saw him and asked why he pushed you."
"You confronted him?!"
"Yeah, why was that a bad idea?"
"No, well maybe a little. It's just that Deku is the name Bakugo calls me as a way to call me useless."
"Really?! I had no idea. In my eyes, I thought it was a nickname to say 'you can do it'."
"Hmm. You can call me Deku if you'd like".
The two exited the building and talked a bit more about the exam while walking. "They really put a giant robot in the exam?"
"Yeah, it was supposed to be a huge obstacle that we had to avoid. I was almost pinned down by a huge boulder until someone pushed me out of the way. She got stuck but I was able to use my Quirk to set her free."
"Good thing everyone's safe. Those exams seem really dangerous."
"Izuku! Over here"!
Izuku and Uraraka looked over to see a black limousine pull up.
"I...is that a L… limousine?!"
"Do you need a ride?"
"Oh, I can't possibly be invited like that."
"You can come inside, we have plenty of room for you and Izuku".
Izuku opened the door and entered the car along with Ochaco. "Sorry to keep you guys waiting. This is Ochaco Uraraka, she took the entrance exam today."
"Hi, it's nice to meet you all."
"Hi, I'm Liz, this is Harry and Laura."
"Harry? As in Harry Osborn?"
"The one and only. So, you took the entrance exam. How'd it go?"
"I feel like it went okay. If I counted right I should've gotten at least 37 villain points, but I don't know if that is enough to get in. My Quirk isn't that good for destroying the robot villains."
"What is your Quirk?"
"My Quirk is called Zero Gravity. Anything I touch loses its gravity and can only regain it when I press my fingertips together."
"That's such a cool Quirk! They'd be idiots to not accept you".
Ochaco smiled at the complement Liz gave her. "What is your Quirk, Liz?"
"My Quirk is called Empath. It allows me to see how others feel by touch. It's not really that well for hero work, but I hope to find a job in the medical field as a therapist or psychiatrist."
"I hope you do your best. What's your Quirk, Harry?"
"I'm rich… what?"
"I… can't tell if you are telling the truth."
"Don't worry I was joking. I don't have a Quirk, but I have an IQ that rival adults with high IQ Quirks."
"Woah. That's pretty impressive. What about you, Laura"?
Izuku turned her attention to Laura who seemed really shy and annoyed. Izuku leaned over to Uraraka and whispered into her ear.
"She isn't very talkative and I don't think she likes being put on the spot."
"Oh, I'm so sorry Laura. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. What about you Izuku? What's your Quirk?"
'I'm Spider-Man.'
"I'm Quirkless actually. I've been bullied most of my life for it."
"What?! that's horrible. Wait, is that why Bakugo hates you?"
"Bakugo? Who's that?"
"He's a jerk who pushed Izuku to the ground when he was walking to U.A."
"Really? That's cruel!"
"Guys, guys it's fine. He's still a jerk but he isn't a bad guy. He's extremely prideful and got really pissed off when I told him I was going to attend U.A. Plus he dropped the more violent bullying act after… well, the important thing to note is that he's an asshole. Nothing more, nothing less."
"As long as I don't meet him, I'll be fine".
The group kept talking while they drove away from the school. Izuku seemed to have a bit of fun and felt like Ochaco was also enjoying herself. Once everyone was having a conversation about U.A., Harry's stomach began grumbling. "Do you guys wanna get something to eat before you go home?"
"I could eat, but I don't know about Uraraka?"
"Are you kidding? I'm starving."
"I guess that answers that question. We could stop by a restaurant nearby".
They drove into a restaurant and made their way inside.
"You guys can order whatever you want by the way. Dinner's on me".
As Izuku grabbed the door for Uraraka, his Spider-Sense went off. "Everyone down"!
An explosion was heard from the rooftop and Izuku threw himself onto Ochaco to protect her from the falling debris. Izuku got up to see what was happening. He saw several police cruisers chasing a broken down car with a man shooting lightning bolts out of his palms.
"Ochaco, get to safety."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to alert the heroes. Don't worry, I'm right behind you just go"!
Ochaco listened and ran up the building. Izuku saw someone pinned down and lifted the debris. "Get to safety".
He ran into an alley with his backpack and took out his suit, shortly pursuing the villain.
~Inside the Restaurant~
"Is everyone here? Wait, where's Izuku and Ochaco?"
"I'm here".
The group turned around to see a messy-haired Ochaco running towards them. "You're safe. Good. Now, where's Izuku?"
"He said he went to alert the heroes. He wasn't injured".
Laura took a seat and signaled the others. "Laura, what are you doing?"
"We came here to eat, didn't we?"
"What about Izuku?"
"What about food"?
Liz, Harry, and Uraraka's stomach began to grumble and they sighed. "Can we get four menus"?
~The Car Chase~
"What do we have on this guy?"
"His name is Max Dillion calls himself Electro. He's been seen robbing banks and frying most of the power of the buildings he's been in."
"Where are the Pros?"
"Some of them are dealing with another situation across town. We're on our own".
Max charged a huge bolt towards the car and exploded the battery. The car spiraled out of control and was heading towards a group of people. The car flew upwards and stopped midway. "What the?"
"It's a web"!
Up in the sky, a figure came swinging towards the car rescuing the cops. "You know Spidey. I'm starting to think twice about you."
"Spread the word chief. I'll take it from here". Spider-Man leaped into the air and went after Max. "Electro, we've got the Spider on our tail."
"Perfect. Those two said that we'd be paid a lot of money for his body."
"Did they say dead or alive?"
"Does it matter? I'm gonna shoot him out of the sky"!
Electro began shooting several volts of electricity towards Izuku. Spider-Man dodged each one and got closer to the car. "He's getting closer!"
"Then drive faster"! Midoriya landed in front of Electro and punched him into the front seat.
"What were you two thinking? This is a school zone. No speeding."
"Die"! Electro threw another electric attack towards Izuku and hit. Izuku flew out of the broken down convertible and crashed onto the concrete floor. Izuku slowly got up and got back to swinging. "Boss, he's still behind us."
"What the"?!
Spider-Man pulled Electro out of the car and webbed him to a street light. Izuku landed in the passenger seat and sat next to the getaway driver.
"You know you don't have your seatbelt right?"
"Get lost"!
He pulled out a gun and tried to shoot. Spider-Man webbed the gun and saw as the driver flew into a building behind him.
"Now for the finishing act. Stopping this car with my own strength".
Spider-Man planted both his feet onto the hood of the car shot two webs in front of him and forcefully stopped the speeding vehicle. As he got off the car, he went into the back to see two duffel bags full of money. He grabbed the bags and got ready to turn them into the police.
"Have no fear"!
Izuku looked up to see a huge figure arrive on the scene. "For I am here"!
Spider-Man's eyes widened as he saw the symbol of peace in front of him again. "A… All Might? Wait, where were you when this all happened?!"
"I was dealing with another disturbance across town, but that isn't important. I can't allow you to take all that money! It doesn't belong to you!"
"Take? Wait a minute". Izuku looked at himself to see what All Might was talking about. Well, when you wear a mask and have bags full of money, you're immediately seen as a bank robber. Izuku's spider-sense flared up and he freaked out. "Manchester…"
"Wait, All Might its notwhatyouthink! ALL MIGHT!"
"SMASH"!
A huge shockwave of wind covered the street as All Might let out a powerful punch. Once the smoke cleared, All Might saw several dollars raining on him as well as Spider-Man on the side of a building.
"I see you're quick to react. I should've figured as much as I've been studying you."
"All Might please, You need to understand that I didn't take the money and… study?"
"Ever since I saw you save that young man 10 months ago, I began doing some research. I was surprised to realize that there was a vigilante working for 4 years and I haven't heard anything. I must say I was impressed by some of your feats. Stopping several petty crimes that pros wouldn't have known about, taking down the crime boss Tombstone, and forcibly landing the wingless Stark cargo plane. You certainly seem like the type of person to want to help others."
"If you know this, then why did you try to attack me just now?"
"Because I needed your attention and I came to warn you."
"Warn me? Warn me about what"?
Izuku saw All Might's smile fall slightly and heard him sigh.
"I need you to quit being a vigilante. I need you to quit being a hero, Spider-Man".
Izuku felt his heart drop as he heard his idol's words. The #1 Hero just asked him to quit and break his promise. "I know this is hard for you to understand, but I really appreciate what you're trying to do. However, the law forbids any act of vigilantism. If you don't quit someone with authority is going to tell me or someone else to stop you."
"No. You don't understand. I can't quit."
"Kid, if you want to be a hero, do it the right way. Graduate from a hero academy and get your hero license. It doesn't have to be U.A. There are other places like Shiketsu High or Ketsubutsu Academy."
"You still don't get"! All Might felt a bit of unease as he heard Spider-Man voice. He was starting to worry that he wouldn't listen.
"All Might… I can't quit. Not after what I've done. Four years ago, something bad happened and I was involved. I saw someone robbing a convenience store near my home and I completely ignored it. Everything I believed in, everything I wanted to be, completely left my mind. Once the man escaped, he ended up hurting someone I cared about and that person hasn't woken up yet. Do you have any idea what it's like feeling powerless to help someone you care about? Do you ever feel guilty about something that you could've prevented? That you could've saved someone?"
"I… every day. Every. Single. Day."
"That's why I can't quit. I made a promise to myself to make sure to help anyone I can. These powers were the cause of a person's injury, so they'll also be the things that will help me save others. This is my curse. Being a vigilante is my choice, my life. And keeping everyone safe is my responsibility! If anyone wants to capture me, go for it. I will never stop helping people. I will always use my powers for the benefit of others".
All Might couldn't help but smile proudly at the Vigilante. He saw himself in the kid and laughed out loud. "I knew there was something special about you! Just don't say I warned you. The next time you see me or another pro be aware because we are going to have to bring you in."
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that. And All Might… Thanks for telling me".
Izuku left the scene and returned to the others. He took one last look at All Might who smiled proudly with a thumbs-up. Izuku returned the gesture and swung away.
~Inside of the restaurant~
"Deku! Where were you?"
"I lost my way here. I saw those villains head into an alley and saw Spider-Man."
"Spider-Man?! You mean he was there?! What did he look like?!"
"He was mostly wearing a red suit, but that wasn't the reason I was late. All Might was there too."
"That's not fair, Izuku! You get to see two heroes and I'm stuck here ordering food for these three."
"Which reminds me, Did you guys start without me?"
"We ordered for you next to Laura. Do you like Katsudon?"
"It's my favorite"! Izuku took a seat and smiled towards Laura. She gave a small grin and returned to her meal. Liz stood up and got the group's attention.
"How about a toast?"
"To what? Any requests? Izuku?"
"Hmm. How about "future students of U.A. High"?"
"Isn't it still too early to choose?"
"What do you prefer, Laura?"
"Hmm. To new friends".
Liz and Harry smiled at her, grabbed their drinks, and lifted them up. "I'll drink to that. To new friends."
"To new friends."
"To new friends."
"To new friends."
"To new friends".
~Unknown Location~
"Do you have any new information, Octavius?"
"Electro was captured, Kurogiri"
"Spider-Man?"
"Spider-Man took him down, but All Might took him in."
"All Might was there?!"
"Precisely. I don't think we can wait any longer. What's the plan, Shigaraki"?
A blue-haired man was currently holding two pictures. One was Spider-Man and the other was All Might. "They are both equally annoying, but we only have one chance to eliminate him. Spider-Man can wait. We are going for the so-called Symbol of Peace first, then watch them both…".
The pictures in his hand disintegrated and fell out of his hand. "... crumble down".
