Chapter 3:
THUD
Aaaaanndd he got judo flipped again into the floor. "Camie: 3. Izubro: 1. I told ya I'd kick your ass. I'm the baddest bitch in the planet." Camie says as she sits on Izuku's stomach. "You got… lucky," He excused as he panted on the ground. "And get your fat ass off my stomach."
"How'd you know I have a fat ass, Izubro?" She teases as Izuku sighs. She offered to teach him how to fight. It was free, so who was he to refuse? He almost regretted doing this. Okay, maybe he did, but OfA and his original quirk would mean nothing if he can't fight. She only knew Judo and Muay Thai. He hates both of those, but he'd rather know something over nothing. No point in being a picky little bitch over this one, as he says. If he's being honest, he prefers kickboxing more since it draws a parallel to his mom's boxing and also gives him more range than punching and grabbing. "Well, at least ya got me this time. Ya got two weeks before the UA exams or the warm-up, I suppose, and three weeks before the main event. Ya sure, ya want to take both? I got a bad feelin' about this."
"Don't worry about me. Not too much at least. I can handle it." He was lying. He's nervous about both the exams. The warm up could be a waste if he doesn't train harder now. "Ay, what's with the worried look on your face? Ya worried 'bout the UA exam? C'mon, Izubro, it's not like you're actually attending there so it doesn't matter if you fail the exam. Just try to test out your abilities and be careful, 'aight? It'd be a dick move to make this girl worried for ya. That includes your family, too."
"I can't believe I'm saying this but… thanks for that." He smiled sincerely at her as she holds out her hand to help him stand up. He took it. "Ya wanna go hangout at Starducks?"
"After I shower. Well, that makes both of us. Why the hell did we wear hoodies while sparring?" She just shrugged as she walks off to the gym's shower room. He did the same thing. After they got ready, they went off to the café.
"So… who's this mystery trainer of yours?" Izuku instantly spit out his drink as Camie asks that question. He didn't expect her to ask that. "He's like Mr. Miyagi without the Mi. Saw what I did with Shitman so he decided to train me. He was the one that wanted me to do a warm-up on the UA entrance exam," His training has been going well. He unconsciously added three percent of OfA to his telekinesis and caused it to double his quirk's range. Original quirk's range. The headaches he got after receiving One-For-All was actually his brain getting accustomed to its power. It can only handle up to seven percent for now, though. The rest of his body still instantly uses one hundred percent which earned him a couple of visits to Recovery Girl. He figured that getting his body used to it can come later since the entrance is coming. "And besides, why would I turn down that chance?"
Camie took a long sip from her cup and caused Izuku to deadpan on her. "Eh, lit. Just be careful though, he could be some kind of pedo or shit like that. Kick his ass if ya need to." Izuku, again, spat out his drink and laugh at the notion of Camie unknowingly accusing All Might of being a pedophile. "What's so funny, Izubro? Don't tell me you're into-"
"Shut up. Don't finish that sentence. Seriously, imagining Al- Mr. Yagi as a pedo is giving me a headache." He almost said All Might. He's sure Camie didn't caught that. Probably. "Whatever ya say, Izubro. Is Bakubitch still fuckin' with you though?"
"Nah. He's not messing with me. Not yet at least." He only looked once into the explosive blonde's eyes and he already knew that he's planning something. He just hoped that it wouldn't be something new. It's uncomfortable for Izuku to have Bakugou think up of new ways to hurt him. "He's plannin' somethin' ain't he? Ay, if he attacks me, he ain't standin' a single chance against my illusions. Besides, I also have my ultimate move." Which is running away while letting her illusion-self get beat up.
"I know you can deal with him but, he's crazy and unpredictable. Mostly unpredictable. He starts a fight with his right arm, by the way." He points out. He doesn't want to admit it, but he cares for Camie a lot more than he lets on. "Noted. Are ya still sure ya want to do the UA entrance exam? Could be a waste of time."
"I mean, when's the only time right now that I can use my quirk on anything that moves? UA entrance exam can help me with that part, at least. Not like they're gonna force me to join. Besides, I hope that low acceptance rate does its part for me." He can't be that good, can he? Unlike Bakugou, he knew that there are other persons better than him no matter how hard he trained. He came to terms with that fact after his fifth beating from his former friend. He just hopes that whoever those persons are, they are not like Bakugou. He's disgusted at himself for thinking of that. He's even more disgusted that he could've been like Bakugou if it weren't for the people that cared about him. "No point dwelling in that shit…" He thought to himself.
"Yo, why are ya starin' at that drink? Don't tell me they didn't add enough milk. HEY! HE NEEDS SOME MILK!" She screams at the staff as he hides in his hood feeling embarrassed. He knew that she was fucking with him. "Camie, please."
"Naaaahhh. This is too fun!" She teased. He sighed in exasperation. "What did I do to deserve her?" He smiles as he the question came in his mind. "Tick Tock, btw. Ya still gotta do a twenty km run after this." Shit. He forgot. That run took two hours. At least he's improving.
The day of the UA entrance exam…
"This is young Midoriya, after a month of training, you can finally test how far you've gotten for now at the entrance exam." All Might pats his head after he finishes his morning run. Today's the day, after all. He just nodded while trying to catch his breath. "LET ME BRING YOU THERE!" All Might lifted him to his shoulders and jumped away from the beach. They landed a few meters from the entrance. Izuku quickly put on his school uniform by disassembling it with his quirk and reassembling it unto him. All Might bid him farewell and jumped off. "Alright, let's see how much I can fuck this up…"
He stared at the large building in front of him. This used to be his dream school. Now, it's just a grim reminder. "Get out of my fucking way, Deku." He turned around to see the man himself. He didn't bother arguing and just stepped aside. Bakugou grunted in response, somehow offended. "Welp, this is it." Bakugou put a foot out to trip him on the way. He already accepted his fate of falling face-first on the concrete. He never landed. He's floating in the air. "Sorry I used my quirk on you. I just thought it would be bad luck to trip." He turned around to see a girl with faint blushes on her cheeks and a chestnut-colored hair. "Thanks."
"Tch, round-faced bitch ruining my fun." Bakugou says while walking inside. "He's very rude. Is he your friend?"
"Nope. Unfortunately for you, he'll probably be a future schoolmate."
"Oh c'mon, you got as much of a chance as he is in making it here! You can do it."
"If only they just let good-hearted and capable people in…" He's not the type to judge people instantly but he already liked this girl. "Thanks for the help though. Let's just get on with this." They both entered the school.
In front of them right now is Present Mic, a hero. "EVERYONE SAY HEY!" Unfortunately even Mic's hyping can't knock away their nervousness. Izuku was busy muttering about Mic. "Shut the fuck up, ya damn nerd."
"PEOPLE FROM THE SAME SCHOOLS ARE PLACED IN SEPARATE AREAS!"
"Too bad, I was planning of pulling you in an alleyway and fucking you up."
"Nice way of phrasing that." He said, not caring that he just got threatened. "I HAVE A QUESTION!" A guy wearing glasses suddenly raised his hand as high as it can be raised. "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ASK, EXAMINE NUMBER 36013?!"
"According to this handout, there's four faux villains but you only mentioned three! Such a mistake is is highly unbecoming of the reputation of UA! AND YOU WITH THE CURLY HAIR!" He points at Izuku. He looks around confused before pointing at himself. "…Me?"
"YES! YOUR MUTTERING IS HIGHLY DISTRACTING! IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS A GAME, YOU MIGHT AS WELL LEAVE!"
"Huh, you seem like a pleasant friend to have."
"Wh- I, well, thank you… but please refrain from-"
"That was sarcasm. You're the only one getting distracted anyway. It's highly unbecoming of you, a future hero student, to be distracted by something like this." Izuku said with the most emotionless face he could muster. He almost felt sorry when he turned the tables on the guy but he brought this on himself. He genuinely thought that he kept his muttering really quiet. "PULL BACK ON THAT SASS, EXAMINEE NUMBER 42069! ANYWAY, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THE FOURTH ROBOT IS A GIMMICK THAT WOULDN'T EARN YOU ANY POINTS. ALSO, YOU SHOULD REALLY AVOID IT!"
"UH, THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWER, SIR! I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INTERRUPTION!"
"HEY, THAT'S ALL ON ME. BEFORE THE EXAMS, YOU LISTENERS NEED TO BE REMINDED BY THIS SCHOOL'S MOTTO: PLUS ULTRA!" Everyone cheered those words while Izuku was busy playing with his coin. They all walked to their respective areas. "How much do they spend for these fake cities anyway? From my research, Shiketsu only had one place with all possible populated area scenarios. Saved them more money considering they're mostly a Police Academy." Izuku reached his area, Area B. Bakugou was at C. He looked around and saw the girl who helped him earlier. He's still thankful for earlier. "She seems nervous, maybe I should say something…" He's no expert on encouragement but he had to try sometimes. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you trying to sabotage that girl?" Oh great, Glasses is here. "You know, after all of this is done, you wouldn't be seeing me for a long time." Izuku answers. He already doesn't like Glasses.
"Is that a threat?"
"Up to your own interpretation."
"You'll regret saying that, delinquent."
"Take a number and get in line."
"START!" Everyone instantly gave Present Mic a confused stare. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THERE'S NO COUNTDOWN WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A HERO!" Everyone quickly ran into the fake city while Izuku uses his quirk to pick up a rock. He reshaped its molecules to turn it into a spike. "Alright me, don't fail me now." Then he ran inside.
"So I just need to test out my quirk with OfA, huh? Not that it matters too much. It only increases my range. Every percent added in my brain; a meter worth of range gets added. It also helps me increase my concentration, which is essential in manipulating molecules. One of the few reasons why I never tried to use it on anyone. Maybe I should stop being scared of that…" Izuku ponders to himself as he spots a one pointer. He quickly launched his makeshift rock spike towards its head at an incredible speed. "That's one down." He heard a laser blast and a machine getting destroyed behind him. "That machine was about to attack you, monsieur! Be careful!"
"Huh, thanks." He says as the weird blonde guy with the belt walks away. He walks out of the alley and spots the chestnut girl he found earlier. She's touching the bots to make them float before dropping them hard to the ground. "She seems to be doing well. Now's not the time to interrupt her." He spotted a robot sneaking up on her and quickly sent his rock spikes towards it, killing it instantly. She looked back in shock as the robot falls on its side. "Hey, pay attention. That's my thanks for earlier, too."
"T-Thanks!"
"OI WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" He turned around to see Glasses pointing accusingly at him with his right hand and karate chopping the air with his left. "ARE YOU TRYING TO ATTACK ANOTHER EXAMINEE! YOU SHOULD BE REJECTED FOR THIS!"
"You seem like you're good at judging people. A skill worthy of a stingy person to have."
"ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME?!"
"No, I'm just making fun of you. Toodles!" He waves at Glasses goodbye before running off to find more robots to kill. He was running when he saw debris about to fall on an unsuspecting examinee. He quickly rushed towards them and dispersed the debris before it could hit its target. "Huh? What the hell are you doing, jerk? Screw off." The girl with the weird earlobes seems thankful.
"Eh, you're welcome." He responds as he went off to find more robots.
"This year's examinees seem interesting, don't 'cha think? Hell, they're even rowdy back when we were doing an orientation. Specially that green kid with the rock spike. The purple-haired girl didn't even know that he saved her. He doesn't seem bothered by her attitude at all. The kid seems nicer than he lets on! That's real great! What do you think, bro?" Truth be told, Present Mic did not know of Izuku's uncaring attitude. "I'm not impressed. This exam doesn't impress me the slightest. He's also distracting himself by helping other examinees who aren't even thankful." The man in the shadows said, not really caring about the exam. He already suggested it multiple times to change the exams to give kids with non-combative quirk a chance but they never did so he just gave up.
"Well, the main event is about to start anyway," A mouse said as he looks at Toshinori Yagi. "Would you care to do the honors, All Might?"
"Very well, principal." All Might says as he presses a big red button.
"Okay dude, seriously just aim for the head. No need to challenge it to some kind of match."
"Nothing is gonna be stopping me to play fair. It's unmanly to just end it quickly!"
"Whatever you say…" Izuku says as he sends a rock spike towards the robot's head. "DUDE, THAT'S SO UNMANLY!"
"Sure is. How unmanly of me, am I right?" He chuckles as he playfully pats the red-haired examinee's back. "Besides, it's not like you'll be seeing me for a long time."
"What do you mean?" When he asked that question, the ground instantly started shaking. "WATCH OUT!" The red-haired kid screams as he pushes Izuku out of the way. The debris dropped on him but it didn't do any damage. "Woah, that was close. Thanks for the save."
"Hey, it's the manly thing to do."
"If I had a hundred yen for every time he said manly… eh, I'd probably be able to buy a couple of candies for Fubuki. Her happiness comes first, after all." He thought about his little sister. "No time to think, bro. Let's run. Like, holy shit, that thing is huge." He yelled, while pointing at the giant robot the size of a skyscraper right now. "Holy shit indeed. Time to use Camie's special move." He stood up and ran at the opposite direction. Every other examinee is running as well.
"T-THIS MUST BE THE GIMMICK! WHY DID UA MAKE IT SO BIG?" A midget exclaims in fear. Everyone was busy running away but the small kid is frozen in fear. Izuku slapped him across the face. "No time to screw around. Let's go. NOW!"
"HELP!" Izuku turns around as he sees the same girl that helped him earlier stuck under a rubble. "UA's gonna stop that robot, right?" He thought to himself. It's approaching her. "Right?" It's getting nearer. "RIGHT?!"
At the examination room…
"It seems that the zero-pointer's shutdown button isn't responding. Another year, another cover-up, am I right?" The mechanic says.
"Be quiet." The principal responds to the mechanic. "If you weren't as good as you are, we would have fired you long ago."
Everyone is panicking. "THAT THING IS GONNA CRUSH THAT GIRL!" Every hero in the room is about to get to that area quickly but All Might stops them. "All Might, now is not the time to-"
"Wait." Everyone fell silent as they saw All Might pointing at the screen. It was the same sarcastic examinee running towards the zero pointer. "This is what separates the hero from the students." All Might exclaims. "Be careful, please." He knew in his very soul that being careful is the last thing his successor is when he sees someone who really needs help. He saw it when he helped the cat off the tree. He saw it when he comforted a kid who got lost near the teashop. He saw it when he saved his skinny version from a falling tv by pushing him out of the way and getting hit instead. "Please…"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THIS IS JUST AN EXAM! SURELY THEY WILL STOP IT BEFORE IT HITS THE GIRL!" Glasses explains to him as he blocks his path. "WHY ARE YOU RISKING YOURSELF FOR SUCH A THING?! YOU HAVEN'T EVEN EARNED ENOUGH POINTS TO PASS YET!"
Izuku quickly pushed Glasses out of the way. "Something probably went wrong. Besides, she looks like she really needed help." He says as he runs closer towards the giant. "It broke my legs last time and sent me high up the air… Fuck it." He concentrates One-For-All on his legs and leapt. His adrenaline helped him ignore the pain as he concentrates One-For-All on his brain. "Ten Percent Dispersion." He says as he manages to scatter the giant's molecules as he makes his way towards its head. He pulled out his lucky coin and sent it towards the head before manipulating it to destroy every inside parts of the robot. The coin went back to his hand as the robot's inside started short circuiting. He went beyond his normal seven percent limit to make sure that the robot stays dead. His nose is bleeding and his head is aching. Also, he's falling down alongside an exploding robot.
"Am… I… seriously gonna die now? Heh, always knew those ten months ago with Shitman was a fake-out." He said before passing out only to be awakened by a hard slap. He stared at the ground though he never fell. He looked to the side to see it was the chestnut-colored hair girl that saved him. "R-Release." She said before vomiting rainbows. He dropped down to the ground. He felt pain from his legs but he shut down his pain receptors quickly. "This is the eleventh time this month, young man." A familiar voice complained.
"R-Recovery Girl?" He said before getting smacked in the head by her cane. "Darn right it's me. How many times do I have to tell you that you can't go around breaking your bones?"
"Well, the robot isn't stopping so I had to do something. Besides, I can do something." And then his quirk's effect wore off and he screamed in pain for his broken legs. Recovery Girl gave an exasperated sigh before healing her patient. "Here's some gummy bears. Helps you retain your energy."
"Thanks…" He said while standing up. His coin trick worked. Good thing no one would expect a coin to do that much damage before. Everyone around him was murmuring about him.
"He never actually tried to acquire any points and just kept saving us. The fool."
"He destroyed that zero-pointer for nothing."
"His quirk's power is all for nothing."
"Hey, at least don't make it seem like you want me to hear it. The UA Entrance Exam was just a warm-up anyway." He brushed off all their gossips. "What the hell do you even mean?"
"It means that I just wanted to test my quirk on robots. This school is the last thing I want to attend right now. Welp, it's gonna be a week before the Shiketsu Entrance Exam. Good luck to you guys!" He salutes at them before walking away. "I only got eleven points anyway, so I wouldn't have passed."
"YOU LOOKING DOWN ON US? YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?!"
"I almost got killed so yeah, this is probably a game," That ticked them off a lot more. "Jeez, calm down. I only got like, eleven points. I won't pass either way."
While a lot of people were angry, there were a few that silently thanked him for saving them from the giant. They were just too afraid to speak up. Glasses in particular… "That… he… he risked his life for something controlled by the school? For what? To save that girl who wouldn't really be hurt? I would have done the same if this isn't an exam. I never would have sacrif- wait… he figured out the whole point of it all. This IS the Hero Course. He truly is someone that I never should have underestimated." He thought to himself as he watches the one who destroyed the giant walk away without a care of whether he passed or not. "He unknowingly showed everyone what it means to be a hero. Even when it costed him his chances of ever attending UA, he still saved that girl…"
All Might looked on to the screen proudly. "This is what separates the heroes from the wannabes. The courage to save others even if it hurts or kills you, that's what a true hero is." Everyone was cheering when the examinee singlehandedly destroyed the gigantic robot. That was until a phone rang. The principal picked it up. "This is Principal Nezu, how may I help you? Oh, is that you, Director?" Everyone held their breath when the Director spoke up. "Sir, with all due respect, do we have to do this? That boy wants to go to another school. I, I understand." Nezu put down the phone before looking to the staff.
"Unfortunately, it looks like that Examinee Number 42069 will have to be forced to stay at UA."
"B-But, Sir, we just can't force a child to attend our school like that." All Might tried to argue but silenced himself when the principal raised his hand. "He did not say anything about not allowing the child to do any other entrance exam. If anything, he might give us a reason to expel him. The Director never said we can't, too." After what he just heard, All Might's hand formed into a fist with frustration. "Of course he will do everything he can to be expelled. I hate to agree with him but putting him anywhere near young Bakugou isn't healthy. Unless…" He must help his protégé.
A week later…
"Ya ready for the Shiketsu Exam, Izubro?"
"Don't worry about it. I got this." Izuku answers his best friend as they entered the campus. The entrance was quite similar to UA but the inside is smaller compared to the latter. It had pictures of past students who became great officers. There were also pictures of heroes that graduated from Shiketsu. They just passed a shooting range. Everything felt simpler, to say the least. "Ay, they got a lower acceptance rate than UA. They be acceptin' only ten of us since this is mostly a Police School that still had a Hero Course. Only Ten Hero students per year so we gotta do our best to impress them. Their exams are mostly interview anyway, from what I heard. Pretty ez, imo."
"How they'll be interviewing us is the question." They said as they walked in a room with three judges. The first one is wearing something similar to a salary man. The second one looks like a detective. The third one was the police chief. "Welcome you two, please take a seat." The chief said. He pointed at two chairs. "You two are the last ones, correct?"
"Yes." They both answered. "Very well, impress us." That's why it had a low acceptance rate. "We have three categories: Combat, Investigation, or Trickery. Choose one. After doing that, we shall decide whether you get to attend or not."
"That fast?"
"We value efficiency, after all. Besides, we wouldn't waste money on robots to give a single type of quirk a chance. We prefer good people over good quirks."
"Trickery then." Camie answered. "Then tell us, how are you going to trick us?"
"This conversation never happened."
"What do you mean by that?" As they asked the question, the room started to dissipate. After the process is done, Izuku spotted Camie standing smugly at the door. "I'll be seein' ya when ya ace this test, Izubro!" She waved goodbye before leaving the door. The three judges sweatdropped. "She didn't even bother hearing our verdict. You are her friend, correct? Tell her that she can attend in two weeks." So she passed. Unknown to Izuku, Camie was having a mental breakdown at the end of the door.
"What happens when I choose the other two?"
"In combat, you will fight a volunteer green belt or something equivalent to that from a randomly selected martial art. Without your quirk, by the way. What's the point of having a quirk if you can't fight without it? That is the main objective of Combat. A blonde with temper issues came out all angry and threatened to attack us for preventing him to use his quirk in Combat in which he easily lost. We quickly rejected him as he has somehow revealed that he was doing all of this out of a grudge and prove himself superior. Heroes are not meant to think of themselves as superior. We STRICTLY remind our students of that."
"How about Investigation?"
"We give you a simple case. If you solve it, you pass. If you don't, you fail. Your friend already showed you what to do with Trickery. Now, tell us, what shall you choose?" Izuku thought about it for a while. He's no good in Trickery and he tends to overthink in mysteries which tends to get him to the wrong answer, so Investigation is out of the question. That only leaves one thing, "Combat." The Judges nodded as they called in a volunteer combatant. He had boxing gloves. He got the right choice.
"You wanna learn how to fight?" Inko asks as she's wiping her sweat off with a towel. "Yes."
He swayed out of the jab before countering with his own to the stomach. The boxer backed up and put on a guarding position.
"Remember, if your opponent is trying to dodge your attacks and wear you down, he's an outfighter. He'll make you lose your stamina and then finish you off when you're tired. Best way to deal with them? Be fast and aggressive. Get in close and hit them as much as you can." Inko says as she dodges another punch from her son before delivering a light uppercut to him. She was a hybrid boxer. "Also, use that new ability of yours when you have to. It seems like you can transfer energy to different parts of your body." Another dodge and another counter from his mother. He tries to concentrate more but Inko is using her quirk to pull herself back and prevent him from pulling her into an opening."
He rushed the boxer quickly by jumping into the air and doing a drop kick. The fighter never expected him to fight in a different way and neither did the judges. If he's being honest, he only learned this from when he watched Pro Wrestling. He thought that dropkicks were cool. The boxer didn't back down though as he stood up.
"The fighting ring is no time to think of plans. You need to follow your instincts and predict your opponent's next move. Simply put, be faster. Think faster. Hit faster." She was about to deliver a final punch to Izuku but he reacted in a way he never thought he would try. Due to the desire to learn something, he unconsciously added five percent of One-For-All to his eyes. Everything slowed down in his point of view, from the flaps of a bee's wings to Inko's supposed punch. He moved out of the way as if it was an easy thing to dodge a punch that is an inch from your face and sent a powerful right cross to his mother's abdomen. The woman stumbled back a bit but is still standing. "Not bad. You're learning something, Izuku." She says as they continued their match. She won but he got a few punches in, which is saying a lot since she's a Pro Boxer. "Remember, fight smarter, not harder. Fighting as a hero is different from fighting as a boxer. There is no such thing as cheating when it comes to saving civilians, Izuku. Now, would you like some Katsudon for dinner, sweetie?" She says with a smile as she holds out a hand for him. He took it.
In the present, Izuku also transferred Five Percent One-For-All to his eyes. "They can't disqualify what they can't see…" He dodged an uppercut that was just an inch from contacting with his chin and he countered with a Roundhouse kick to the chest. That staggered the boxer quickly but Izuku wasn't finished, he rushed in and almost delivered a hook to the liver, if it weren't for a timer sounding off its alarm. "Time's up. What do you think, sir? Is he worth it?"
The boxer stayed quiet for a moment before nodding. "If we had more time, he would've beat me. He passed."
"Thank you. You may now take your leave. You will be given your compensation tomorrow." The boxer bowed before leaving through the same door he entered. "As for you, you used your quirk." Izuku quickly drew in a sharp breath. "And you just told us through that sharp breath of yours. You tried to be subtle and you were close to keeping it secret. You passed."
"W-What?! How? You just said that I used my quirk! I should've failed…" He's in shock after hearing that he passed. "Who are we? Fools? Do you really think that we don't encourage students to take any advantage they can get when it comes to dealing with villains? We expect our hero students to take initiative if it means to save a civilian. Even if it means fighting dirty. The only reason we rejected the previous blonde is because of his attitude and ill intentions to become a hero. We will never allow a student like him in our school. Your case is different. You had an opportunity and you took it. That's why you passed. Please try to make it more subtle next time, still. We are excited to see what you are capable of when we maximize your potential as a hero." He thanked them, bowed, and said his goodbyes. Outside, he spotted Camie waiting for him and told her the good news.
"HELL YEAH! I CALL COFFEE DATE! THIS IS TOTES MAD LIT, IZUBRO! WE ARE GONNA KICK ASS!" She said while hugging him. He didn't stop her this time as he was too relieved that they allowed him to do that. For the first time, he hugged her back which shocked both of them.
Another week later…
"Hey, Izubro, your obligatory UA letter is here. Wanna go and see-" Camie entered the apartment as she witnesses Izuku dressed as a dragon while Fubuki is dressed like a female knight. "Ms. Illusions, the great wizard of Apartomentum! I told you my friend will arrive, bad dragon!"
"Ah, uh, yeah! Get ready to get your butt kicked so hard that it would cause a geological event, dragon!"
"What's a geological event?" Fubuki asked. "Something you'll learn at school when you get older, little Ki. Now, what's this about a UA acceptance letter?" He grabbed the hologram projector from Camie and set it down on the table.
"I AM HERE!" All Might said with a shout. "All Might! Is he gonna be a teacher in UA, big brother?"
"I think he is… I don't see the point of them sending this letter though."
"Young Midoriya, originally the principal should be the one that would inform you about your state at UA but he requested that I be the one to tell you." He coughed nervously through the screen. Izuku and Camie thought that something's wrong. "I come as a bearer of good news and bad news… The good news is, you would have failed, but who are we to deny those people who saved others? Take a look of this video."
"U-um, Mr. Mic, can I somehow give my points to some guy?"
"Why is that little listener?"
"He, uh, saved my life and I heard that he only had eleven points before I passed out from nausea. I just thought that it would be unfair that he didn't pass because of doing the one thing a hero does, ya know?" The video went back to All Might. "You see, young Midoriya? The girl was willing to give you some of her points to you for saving her. Call it the fruits of your labor, and for that, we awarded you rescue points. Seventy Points, to be exact. Sixty for saving that girl from the zero-pointer, and ten from saving participants from different hazards around the area. Combine that with your eleven villain points and you gain eighty-one points, making you the highest scorer in our exam." Fubuki cheered but Izuku and Camie is not liking where this is going.
"Now, for the bad news, most of the teaching staff is aware that you don't want to attend UA but the Director had other plans. Who is he, you ask? He's the one truly in charge of our school. The principal just manages in his place. If he so desires it, he can shut down UA if he wanted to." Izuku is having a hard time breathing now. All Might was no longer smiling."He's kidding right? He… I can't… dammit. Dammit."
"I'm sorry, young Midoriya, but you are to be forced to attend UA." All Might said with a grim look on his face.
"Um, big brother, what does he mean?" Fubuki looked at the face of her brother with sadness laid across his face as Camie comforts him. "It's gonna be okay, Izuku. We'll find a way to get ya outta there, ya know?"
"Fu- Screw that director. I can't even blame All Might or UA for this. Even if I disliked that school, I wouldn't want to be the reason that it got shut down. I just wished that they didn't have to be forced to do this. Fudge." Even in his sad state, he still couldn't bear to swear in front of his little sister. "Look, Shiketsu starts a week after UA, there's plenty of chance that ya can take to get outta there. Ya just gotta find it." His phone suddenly lit up from a message. It was from All Might.

"I need to go. Like, right now." Izuku said, standing up. "All Might needs to explain this to me in person. A better explanation than the one at the hologram."
"I'll go with ya."
"You don't have to. Besides, little Ki needs a playmate." He puts a hand on Camie's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. She sighs and nods and carried Fubuki to her playset. He left without another word. "Is big brother going to be okay, Ms. Illusions?" She stayed quiet for a moment before finally giving out an answer that she's sure about. "I don't know."
{- To Be Continued...
Sorry if the Shiketsu entrance exam is a bit underwhelming. It's kinda shitty but I am trying to make the entire school about efficiency and stuff like that. Besides, the place is a police school so there's no point in making a bunch of robots for just a few students. Top Tier policemen including Detective Naomasa attended this school.
Bakugou: Who's the Director, anyway?!
I mean, it's kinda obvious who it is. Anyway, if you guys are worried, Izuku won't be staying in UA for long. Maybe just a week before he finally gets kicked out.
Bakugou: Let me guess, by acting like me.
Nope. He'll try multiple different things but UA would resist the urge to expel him quickly. THing is, try not to think much on it.
Bakugou: The Shiketsu Exam still sucked. I could have easily passed it.
Except you didn't. If you paid close attention, you would know that you didn't. Shiketsu doesn't have time to fix your act, and besides, they focus more on their Police Course students but still gives the Hero Course students equal quality to UA. They can really pull off a tight budget. Anyway, to answer an unasked question, All Might did not call in a favor to make Izuku pass the Shiketsu Exam. Circumstances are, he passed on his own right along with Camie. All Might called in a different kind of favor though. That, I won't tell until Izuku finally made it to Shiketsu. ANd when I'm done making OCs. Seriously, why the hell did I ask people to even give me OCs? My laziness got the best of me. I already got the concept for their quirks but I'm still working on their personality. I need to at least try to not make them one-sided. Of course, the original SHiketsu students will be knocked down a year like Camie so that I don't have to work on more than I can approve.
Bakugou: Yeah, well, take your fucking time then. You suddenly got interested in this side-project of yours, didn't you?
What can I say? Once I got an idea, I'll act on it. I just can't resist the urge to get it out of my mind though. But hey, this could be the stupidest idea I could think of. Anyway, like, subscribe, leave a comment, and hit that notification bell. PEACE!
