A/N: Still don't own MHA
I have an important question at the bottom author's note. Would like input from you guys, but check it after you read the chapter since it has to do with the stuff in it kinda
Izuku and Himiko entered the main building of U.A.'s campus, following the signs that led them to the auditorium.
"Is this where they made you go last week?" The blonde Chisaki asked as she opened a flask to drink a red liquid. It wasn't blood like would be assumed of her. Kai actually made a substitute for blood so her quirk doesn't make her act out as bad. Really it was just a chemical she mixed with water that worked like Kool Aid, with a thicker consistency.
"Yep. The auditorium. I wonder if Principal Nezu is going to run it again today."
"The midget bear?"
"He has a tail. I think he is closer to a mouse."
"I'm sticking with midget bear."
"I wouldn't say that to him."
"I would." Himiko replied as they entered the auditorium.
"Our seats are near the front."
"Who's that?" She used a knife to point to the stage where a teacher, Present Mic, was off to a side talking to another teacher, Ectoplasm.
"Might not want to point with the knife." Izuku lowered it. "You might hit someone."
"Right." Himiko put her knife away.
"That's Present Mic and Ectoplasm. They're teachers."
"I figured they worked here. Why is his hair so big?" She was talking about Present Mic. He had long blond hair, which he wears spiked upwards in a huge tuft behind his head. His hair easily added two feet to his height.
"Maybe he likes that style?" Izuku shrugged.
"It looks dumb."
"It's not the worst hairstyle."
"You don't like it either."
"But I'm not going to call it dumb."
"I'll pay you."
"No."
"I will pay you to say it to his face."
"That's a bigger no." Izuku found his seat and sat down.
Kai tapped the table while he was thinking. It was an hour before he had to have a response for Nezu about that job offer and he still didn't know what to do. The job was something definitely interesting but he didn't know if he of all people should teach a class of kids trying to be heroes. He thought that Ryūko definitely should take her offer but he wasn't going to make her take it.
The door opened to his house and Ryūko entered, making him smile widely. "Hi."
Ryūko also smiled but noticed he was still tapping the table like he dies when he was thinking and getting confused. "Still confused?"
"I don't know if I should take the job or not."
"Want my opinion?"
"Please."
"Take it. You will still get to do quirk research and this way you will see if you are even good at it or not. Or even meant for it."
"Good point. Are you taking it?"
"I am. I'm nervous about teaching them but if the kids at U.A. are like Izuku it will be fine."
"If I take it where would Eri go? She's homeschooled and way too smart for a schooling for kids her age."
"Nezu is trying to hire an ex villain. Maybe he will have that already planned too."
"He is trying hard to get me to say yes." Kai figured Ryūku had a point.
"Plus there is private school. She could definitely find a spot that would challenge her enough." Ryūko then noticed Eri wasn't around. "Where is she by the way?"
"Toshinori took her to the park for a bit. He wants to spend time with her since he won't have as much time when the school year begins. He says he will bring her back soon since he has to judge the practical test at U.A.'s exams. After that he said he would drop her off at father's."
"How do you think the other two will do today?"
"Izuku will most likely do something questionable. And Himiko will confuse someone with her randomness. They'll both pass for sure."
Speaking of randomness, while waiting for the exams to start Himiko was balancing one of her knives on her finger tip. Thankfully not using the blade as the part she was balancing.
"Think I could balance another on top of this one?"
"Should you?" Izuku asked his sister.
"Mmmaaybe."
Present Mic at that point now stood center stage. He tapped a mic he had before he spoke. "HELLO LITTLE LISTENERS!" The man shouted with unnecessary volume. "TODAY IS THE DAY YOU KIDS PROVE IF YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO GET INTO U.A.! WE WILL FIRST HAVE OUR WRITTEN TEST AND THEN AFTER THAT I, YOUR FAVORITE HERO PRESENT MIC, WILL LAY DOWN THE RULES OF THE PRACTICAL!"
"He is way too loud." Himiko rubbed her ears while Izuku nodded.
"THE TESTS WILL HAVE YOUR IDs FOR YOUR PRACTICAL, MAKE SURE TO WRITE YOUR NAME CLEARLY NEXT TO IT SO OUR OWN ECTOPLASM CAN MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR PROPER GRADES. HE WILL BE WALKING AROUND TO ENTER YOUR ID AND NAME PROPERLY INTO OUR SYSTEM." Present Mic finished as clones of Ectoplasm began to pass out tests.
"If he keeps yelling like that I will stab my ears." Himiko said and a clone of Ectoplasm snickered.
"Please don't." Izuku said as he got his test.
Soon the written test was over and Present Mic turned on a screen which would show the rules as he spoke. "Pay attention listeners! We'll be seeing if you got skills to pay the bills in a ten minute practice run at our replica city districts! First however I am here to explain the goal and rules of the test!" Ectoplasm began to distribute papers during the presentation that has a site location numbered on it for each student, telling them where they were to go later. "You can take whatever equipment you want, just gather at your designated meeting area after my presentation on the rules ya dig!?"
Present Mic paused to let everyone remember as much as they can "Alright Listeners if you look at the screen above me you will see that there are villains in each replica city loads of the baddies spread all over the battlefields! Each one will be rated as a One Two, Three pointer! Your job is to use your Quirk to take out as many of them as you can and rack in those high points! Also you can't attack other competitors directly! That's nasty anti hero stuff and it's against the rules." Present Mic explained.
"Excuse me!" A person shouted at the same time Izuku also said it, albeit not as loud as the other person.
Everyone in the auditorium turned to look at either Izuku or the other person who spoke, it was a glasses wearing kid with a stern look that appeared to be permanently stapled on his face.
Izuku was going to ask what point value the fourth villain had since he had seen it before while trying to prep ahead of time, but he let the other kid go first
The glasses wearing teen appreciated that this mask wearing teen let him go first and got to what he wanted to say "On the board above you there are clearly four types of villains listed not three! If this is an error, then it's a huge embarrassment for a top-tier national academy of U.A.'s caliber What is the meaning of this?"
"I was actually about to get to villain number four." Present Mic started "The fourth type of villain is called the Zero Pointer! It's a big gimmick that goes wild near the end. They are too strong to be defeated and are there just to stir things up, so fighting them is hopeless and useless. If I were you, I'd do my best to avoid that sucker!"
The kid nodded and sat back down, satisfied with the explanation. Present Mic looked at Izuku wondering what his question was.
Izuku shrugged. "That answered my question."
"Well that's pretty much all I have" Mic went on. "I'll leave you with a quote that my academy prides itself on! Go beyond! Plus Ultra! Now get out there and have a fun time this test!"
Everyone in the auditorium stood up and began to make for their given test location
"Izuku what test site do you have?" Himiko asked as she held up her site that had a number six.
"Test site three."
"What? Ugh, I wanna break robots with my brother"
"Wouldn't you be cutting them?"
"Breaking is destroying, and cutting is destroying, so stabbing is breaking"
Can't you make friends in your area? I thought that was a plan of yours?"
"Oh it is. But the Chisaki siblings bitch-slapping robots together would have been cool!"
"Let's slap them so good in our own zones then that everyone thinks the Chisaki's are experts on slapping robots." Izuku stated with enthusiasm.
"You have to swear. Say bitch-slapping."
"I don't swear."
"Lame. I'll swear for you then Izuku."
"You don't have to." Izuku didn't know why she felt the need to swear.
"Fucking nonsense. Cussing is damn fun!" Himiko's declaring that got the attention of everyone around them.
"Such uncouth language." A teen, the one who asked the question earlier during the presentation to be exact, said as he approached them. "Language like that is not appropriate for someone trying to be a hero!"
"By your standards." Himiko stuck her tongue out at him. "By mine it is a-o-kay."
"Don't tell my sister how to speak when you don't have any authority to." Izuku knew Himiko's lack of a filter wasn't really appropriate but she is working on all of her issues and doesn't need a random high and mighty person to tell her how he thinks she should act, that's part of the issue that led to her snapping before.
The blue haired teen didn't say anything at first when he saw that hard look in the emerald and gold eyes of Izuku's. "I apologize. It is rude of me to say it like that."
"It's okay Muscles!" Himiko gave him a thumbs up. "I know I'm weird."
"Muscles?" The teen got confused by the appointed title.
"I don't know your name and you definitely have muscles."
"My name is Tenya Iida."
"Himiko Chisaki." The blonde held out her hand for a handshake, but forgot she was still holding a knife in that hand. "Oops I don't want to look like I want to stab you." She put it away and put her arm back out.
Tenya wouldn't have called her weird but now that she herself said it he could definitely see how she was in fact, weird. "Nice to meet you I suppose."
"Izuku Chisaki." Izuku introduced himself since they were no longer on negative terms.
"What test site are you going to Muscles?" Himiko asked.
"Test Site Five."
"Am I not getting a test site with anyone I know?" Himiko pouted.
"They are most likely separating everyone so that they can try to keep us more likely acting selfish." Izuku stated.
"What do you mean?" Tenya got a confused look.
"The rules and make up of this test all make it seem like you should focus on your own points and score. But it is also supposed to be a simulation of a large scale villain attack of sorts. Realistically in that I believe it would be quite stupid to just not team up with people. Teamwork on a battlefield this big would be beneficial, especially since heroes do team up all the time." Izuku explained. "I don't know if I ruined a part of the test by revealing that or not but it's just my observation. For all I know there isn't a meaning to the rules and that I am just overthinking it."
"That... is a brilliant observation." Tenya realized this masked teen was noticing a huge point of part of the practical test.
"Yea my bro is a nerd like that."
"I am." Izuku nodded.
"I thank you for making me realize this as well Chisaki. I shall take my test with this knowledge. Hope you two do well on yours." Tenya politely left.
"Bye Muscles!" Himiko waved while watching his back as he left.
"He seems okay."
"He seems hot."
"I don't want to hear my sister being attracted to guys."
"Then I better not hear about you getting attracted to girls!"
"I doubt that is even going to happen for a while." Izuku had a flat look. It wasn't that he wasn't attracted to girls, he just figured that he should focus on his goals before anything else.
"When people say that it typically means they are going to meet the love of their life soon." Himiko pointed out.
"Yea I seriously think I will meet the love of my life at a test for a high school where we fight robots." Izuku said that with doubt.
He said that not realizing he would in fact, meet the love of his life at a test for a high school where they fought robots.
On the bus ride to Izuku's zone, all the zones had different buses, he was sitting next to a really tired looking teen with purple hair that stood up in tufts, purple eyes with white pupils and dark bags under his eyes.
"Hi I'm Izuku Chisaki." The emerald teen offered his hand in a shake. He wanted to meet a ton of people so he can see if there are other people in this generation that also understood the flaws of the hero system.
The tired teen looked at Izuku. He was wondering if this masked teen was friendly or just being fake. Either way he would try to be nice. "Shinso Hitoshi."
"Nice to meet you Hitoshi. Wanna team up for the exams?"
Shinso got a surprised look. "Team up. Isn't that against the rules?"
"I didn't hear a rule against it. Plus heroes should team up for practice. We can do more as a team and pass for sure."
"Are you sure this won't violate the test?"
"It would be stupid for us to lose points in a test to enter training as a hero to do something heroes are expected to do."
That was good enough for Shinso. "Okay I guess."
"Nice. What's your quirk?"
That was something Shinso didn't want to answer. Everyone also bullied him because his quirk was rather villainous in nature, calling him an inevitable villain and secluding him from everything because of it. "It's useless for this test. It doesn't matter."
"I'm sure it has its uses." Izuku noticed Shinso had a look of hesitation, did Shinso not like his quirk? "What is it man?"
"If people respond to anything I say I can control their actions like brain washing." Shinso waited for Izuku to say something bad about his quirk.
"That sounds cool. You would be a great hero for high pressured situations. And talking people out of hostage situations too. That's so cool."
Shinso snapped to look at Izuku. "What!?"
"I, um... said your quirk was cool?"
"You don't think my quirk is villainous?"
"Are you using it like a villain?"
"No."
"So it's not villainous." Izuku shrugged. "Any quirk is villainous if it is used like a villain would use it, but It can also be heroic when used heroically."
Shinso liked this Izuku guy, he seemed really understanding and not judgemental. "Thank you Chisaki."
"No problem. So you wanna team up?" Izuku asked.
"Sure." No way in hell Shinso wouldn't work with him now. "What is your quirk Chisaki?"
"I can touch anything and manipulate it entirely, non living and living."
Shinso dropped his jaw, this kid was going off about his mind control being cool when he had the touch of a god!? What!? "How were you not in the recommendation exams!?"
"I failed them on purpose." Izuku didn't mind saying it now, especially since even the judge of the match was aware of his throwing the match.
"You what!?" The purple haired teen definitely thought something was weird about Izuku. Who purposely fails an exam that is hard to get into in the first place?
"Someone else needed that win so yeah. It's cool cause now I get to hang out with you man."
"Are you taking this seriously?" Shinso would get mad if this all was a joke to the masked teen.
"No. I'm serious about it. I threw a match so someone else can get the win and shove it to their dad and I accepted coming to the normal entrance exams. I would just rather relax about it all then get tense."
"Easy to relax when you can manipulate anything you touch."
"Yea but only with my finger tips and palms. I have to actually be smart about it. Trust me I am taking this seriously. I gotta for my goal."
"To be the number one hero?" Shinso wouldn't be surprised since that was half of everyone's goal.
"Nope. I wanna fix the hero system."
Shinso raised an eyebrow. "Fix the hero system?"
"Some people are heroes who are more of a villain than some villains. I want to fix the system and show them what a real hero is."
Shinso actually smiled. He heard the drive in that statement of Izuku's and knew he would set out to do that goal, and the determination made it feel like he definitely would. "Well let's hope I fit into it."
"As long as you want to help people and not do this for glory than yea."
"I want to prove that I am not a villain." Shinso said his real goal. "Everyone assumes because of my quirk I have some innate villainous nature in me and I want to be a hero."
"I believe you man. You can actually be the model for any other people who have quirks viewed like that."
"You think that highly of me?" Shinso snorted.
"Well if you have that much determination to be a good hero than yea. I believe in you man." Izuku nodded as the bus stopped by their zone.
Shinso definitely liked Izuku, the guy had a good heart. "Well let's show these robots a real team effort."
"That's what I am talking about." Izuku got excited.
Himiko was poking her seat mate to get her attention.
The girl sitting next to Himiko was pink, like completely pink. Well not completely but her skin and her fluffy and unruly hair were definitely pink. Her sclera were black and her eyes were yellow, making her eyes look like a raccoon's a bit.
"Hello!" Both of them said at the same time. "I'm Mina Ashido!/Himiko Chisaki!" They both still spoke at the same time. "Nice to meet you!" For the third time they both spoke at the same time.
They both decided to stop speaking to let the other talk so they both just say there before they realized they were still doing the same thing, and promptly laughed at the situation.
"That was funny." Mina was the only one to say that.
"I like you already." Himiko nodded.
"Wanna be friends?" The pink girl asked.
"Of course!" The blonde nodded.
"Awesome!."
"We now gotta team up to beat those robots!"
"Team up?" Mina asked before she immediately stopped questioning it. "Yeah let's kick their tin butts!"
"Yeah. My brother says they have an off button but let's still kick them regardless!"
"Brother? You have an older brother at U.A.?"
"Nah it's my brother Izuku, he is taking his test right now too. He says that teaming up and crushing robots will be good practice for hero team ups down the road."
"Your brother sounds smart."
"Yea he's a nerd. I won't be surprised if he got a perfect score on the written test."
"Let's do just as good on kicking the robots."
"Hell yea!" Himiko nodded as the bus stopped. "While we kick them i will also stab them!" She brandished one of her knives.
"You have knives?"
"Yep!" Himiko pulled the other three she brought with her. "What to borrow one?"
"Nah I got acid." Mina let some secrete from her arm to show Himiko. "You stab them while I melt them."
"That's a plan!"
Kai and Ryūko both entered U.A.'s grounds and immediately saw Nezu, who looked like he was waiting for someone.
"Hello Mister Chisaki and Miss Tatsuma!" The quirked animal of unknown origin greeted them. "I take it you are both here to tell me what your answers are?"
"We both will take the job." Kai answered.
"That is wonderful news!" Nezu clapped his hands together. "And just in time to see the practical exams too!"
"Just like that? No paperwork before that?"
"I did most of the paperwork myself if I am being candid. I was sure you would say yes and got it started a few days ago. You can join us while the kids take the practical so you can see the kids you might end up teaching. We can finish the paperwork later."
"Lead the way." Ryūko said, eager to start this.
Toshinori stood in the viewing room with all of the staff of U.A., ready to see how this all goes down for two of his favorite kids. He got a pleasant surprise when he saw Kai and Ryūko enter the room following Nezu.
"Kai you took the job!" His booming voice got the attention of a majority of the staff.
"Hello everybody!" Nezu waved from Kai's shoulder, having talked the man into letting him ride on it to the viewing room since the walk would go faster that way. In truth Nezu just liked to feel tall by being on people's shoulders, especially since he wasn't even three feet tall, only being 85 cm tall. (2'9 1/2") "This is Kai Chisaki and Ryūko Tatsuma! They have taken on jobs as the other two homeroom teachers for the hero course!"
"Doctor Chisaki!" Ectoplasm said, shocked to see the doctor who gave him his legs back after his run in with a villain who removed them.
"Hello." Kai felt like the man looked familiar. "It's Masakazu Nishida correct?"
"It is. Thank you again for your work."
"You know Overhaul?" A tired voice asked. It belonged to a man who looked as equally tired as he sounded. His black hair was all over the place like he was just pulled out if bed to be there. Granted he had a sleeping bag right next to him it was believable that he did in fact just wake up.
Kai got wide eyes before Nezu patted Kai's shoulder he was still on. "Yes they all know about your past. It would be a little wrong to let you work with them without knowing what you used to be."
"You have All Might's trust so you have mine." A muscular man with spiked gray hair said. "Sekijiro Kan, I'm teaching one of the other hero course classes."
"I think it's hot." A woman said, she had spiky dark purple hair of varying lengths and a very revealing outfit. "I'm Nemuri." She winked at Kai, who ignored it. Ryūko meanwhile had grabbed Kai's hand to show this Nemuri that Kai was hers.
"Ignoring that... " Present Mic said. "I'm Hizashi Yamada! I think it is rocking that that firecracker of yours helped you turn good." The blond pointed behind him at a screen where Test Site Three was seen. Kai saw his son laughing at something.
"He certainly is." Masakazu nodded. "He got a perfect score on the recommendation exams test and then forgot what a window was."
Both of Izuku's parents laughed.
"I personally like this girl that is juggling knives." Nemuri pointed at Test Site Six.
"That is also my kid." Kai exhaled seeing Himiko juggle sharp objects.
"He has very interesting kids." Toshinori nodded to his own words. "Some of these other kids look interesting too." He was looking at a red head who looked like his body was sharper, or harder? The teen let another punch his gut and showed no reaction, while the other teen, covered in silver, grinned stupidly.
"This batch is interesting for sure." Sekijiro saw a teen with blades rupturing from his body, each going in and out as the teen controlled them in Test Site Two.
Ryūko looked at one of the screens for Test Site Three and noticed that one girl was standing off from the group that was waiting at the starting line. A blonde who was looking at the ground.
She was nervous. That was the only thing she was noticing. How nervous she was. This test would be the thing that would decide how useful she actually was, and if she even deserved to be a hero. How would she even do this when she doesn't even have a real quirk though? Thinking about her quirk made her think about all of the negative things people always said to her.
"Quirk Thief!"
"Go away quirk thief!"
"You don't even have a real quirk. You just steal other people's hard work."
That always made her depressed. Everyone always harassed her if she was within distance of them, afraid she would steal their quirks. Of course it wasn't as bad as her older sisters.
"All you do is steal other people's quirks. Stay away from me."
"Useless without riding other people's work."
She didn't ask to have her quirk. She didn't remember one single time when she was younger that she just up and asked can I have a quirk that makes everyone hate me and bully me? She never asked once.
It would be nice if she still had her parents but all she had was her older sisters, and they were the worst.
Her quirk was that she could take people's quirks by a simple touch, it didn't matter if it was her elbow and their knee. If physical contact happened she would have an identical copy of their quirk for a limited time. As well as instinctual knowledge of how to use it that put her at the same level of the person she just copied.
She had to pass here today. She had to show that on her own she could get into the most prestigious school. Without copying a single quirk so she can confirm that she actually has her own skill.
"Can you make people dance?" A voice in the group actually waiting at the line was heard.
"That's the question you ask?" Shinso looked at his new friend.
"Well dancing kind of takes mental effort to do. Was wondering how much you could make someone do." Izuku replied.
"I can't make anyone do things that require advanced brain function. So I can't make you say something or write down things from memory."
"So you can make people do physical things?"
"Yes. Wanna test it?"
"Kinda." Izuku responded and suddenly his mind went blank. Izuku felt like everything was really numb and fuzzy, almost like when he was in the backseat of his fusion but this time he had no way of getting control, at least not from what he could see at that moment.
"It makes your mind blank, and you just stand there until I tell you to do something. You can't even respond but can hear me." Shinso noticed some kids were looking at the two. He didn't want to hear anything they had to say so he ignored them. "Chisaki take your mask off of your face, let it hang around your neck."
Izuku's body moved on its own and removed his mask from his face and promptly dropped it to hang around his neck. Izuku had to admit this was a really strong quirk and if he had something to change his voice he could easily trick any number of people into falling under his control. It was definitely cool that he was trying to be a hero so hard with this because people would definitely see it as negative.
Suddenly Izuku felt like he got shocked to the brain, not much but like a static shock, and felt control of himself return almost instantly. "Whoa."
"It's a rush from what my father tells me." Shinso rubbed his neck.
"That was weird. It felt like riding passenger in one of my fusions."
"Fusions?"
"GET GOING NOW KIDS!" Present Mic's voice suddenly came over the speakers. "YOUR TEST STARTS NOW!"
"let's do this!" Izuku ran forward, being near the front got free reign to run, Shinso following.
Most of the students stood there confused for a second, expecting a countdown before they realized they weren't getting one. Once they realized that it was a rush of the students fanning out to destroy the robots.
"Button on their back near the neck!" Izuku shouted to Shinso as he tapped a car and made a door turn into a spike and impale through a Two Pointer's head.
"Thanks!" Shinso was glad that while he didn't have much muscle he was at least quick enough to dodge a One Pointer and get behind it to smack the button, jumping up to slap it.
"Hey wanna gun?" Izuku asked as he broke a Three Pointer, by touching the ground and making five spikes impale it. Izuku was holding the arm of the Three Pointer. "It's kinda heavy but the firepower must be awesome."
"You don't want the arm gun?"
"Not when I can do this." Izuku touched a street sign and it bent and swung like a bat to knock the head off of a Two That was about to drop its fist down on Izuku.
"Good point. I'll take it." Shinso wasn't ready when Izuku tossed the gun. He was ready to catch it, he just wasn't ready for the weight and almost fell over. "You weren't kidding about it being heavy."
"It's hefty, like that robot." Izuku tapped the ground and four different Three Pointers all got impaled by the ground becoming spikes.
"Chisaki... geez." Shinso was amazed at Izuku's quirk.
"I can't go through separate objects though." Izuku pointed at the fifth Three Pointer that stayed on the other side of a crack in the ground.
"No worries." Shinso shot the arm gun he had at the Three Pointer, not prepared for the recoil and he flew back. He luckily hit the Three Pointer in its core.
"You okay?" Izuku asked.
"Yea." Shinso groaned, not okay. He got up and grabbed the arm cannon. He couldn't call it a gun when it fired like that. The shots were rubber too so the fact that he just put a hole through a robot made him worried about if one actually shot him. Any shot would definitely hurt "Wait how can you not go through different objects but yet you just touched a car on its hood and made a door spike?"
"I think if the parts are connected connected it counts. Like if you connect Legos I can affect all the connected ones but if they are in a pile they don't."
"Have you ever tested that?"
"No."
The whole time they were talking they were both taking down robots
"I thought you were smart." Shinso said flatly.
"Hey I am!" Izuku defended himself while he threw a rock at a One Pointer to get its attention away from an unaware other test taker.
The second the test began Himiko and Mina immediately assaulted a number of robots together, their combination of acid and knives making them both quickly take out the machines. The duo took turns landing the final strikes on the robots since they figured that the points don't get shared.
"This is fun!" Himiko shouted as she stabbed a Three Pointer in its eye that she was riding.
"So fun!" Mina nodded as she melted a leg off of the Three Pointer.
"You think they will let us do this more when we pass?" Himiko stomped on the head of the Three Pointer and watched it turn off.
"I hope so."
"Hey look another robot for us to bully!" The blonde pointed her knife at a Two Pointer.
"Let's bully it!" The pink haired girl shot up.
"On it. YEET!" Himiko threw a knife at the Two Pointer and hit one of its eyes. "Did you see that!?" She looked at her pink friend.
"Nice headshot!" Mina high-fived Himiko.
"I can't tell who is messing around more." Kai had one of his hands against his forehead.
"They're having fun." Ryūko smirked when Izuku jumped on a Three Pointer's back and turned it towards a number of Two Pointers.
"I didn't know Izuku could manipulate things at that level." Toshinori blinked when the emerald haired teen started to send shots at the other robots.
"This is so fun!" Izuku shouted with glee as he did a partial fusion with the Three Pointer from on top of its head, his arms sinking to their elbows in it. He was controlling its motions and he learned how to make it shoot.
"Um... Chisaki?" Shinso sweat dropped as he watched his friend go practically mad with power shooting every robot up the street. It was a good thing that they were the farthest kids up this road so he didn't have to check his shots.
"Just a minute!" Izuku replied as he shit for a few more seconds, up until he ran out of ammo. He turned to Shinso behind him. "Yea?"
"I think you got them." The purple haired teen pointed at all the robots that were broken by more than a few unnecessary shots.
"Huh... Would you look at that."
"Think you let it get to your head."
"It's really fun." Izuku couldn't stress it enough how enjoyable it was to shoot that many rocket like balls of rubber at robots.
"I believe you. You kind of went a bit crazy."
"I got drunk with power." Izuku nodded as he unfused his arms with the Three Pointer he was on and tapped it again to scramble everything inside of it. He hopped off of it to stand next to Shinso. "I think I cleared this street."
"You think?" Hitoshi asked with a flat look as he just raised his arm towards all of the broken robots
"I wanna say I know I did ."
"You can let someone else control the fusions right?"
"Yea. It's like I just lean back and you lean forward."
"If we have time you should let me do that to a Three Pointer. I wanna see that firepower."
"How about that one?" Izuku pointed at a Three Pointer that came out of a side street.
"I like it." Shinso nodded.
Himiko picked her knives up from a robot that was definitely destroyed, her hectic slashing and Mina's acid were definitely a bad combo for the robots, especially when both girls were too quick for the machines to properly attack.
"These robots are too easy." Himiko whined. "Even the hard ones are easy because of our combo."
"We're too fabulous for them."
"Damn right."
Nezu had a smile as he watched all of the students who were showing their skill. He can already tell a number of them that would end up passing, and the ones who will make it until the hero course as well.
"The kids this year definitely have skill." Sekijiro remarked.
"Some of them could use an attitude change." Hizashi was looking at a blond teen in Test Site Two who was screaming at the robots to die aggressively while blowing them up with explosions from his hands.
"Let's see how this batch reacts to the Zero Pointers this year." Nezu opened the case for the button he really wanted to press. "Test Site Three actually has a new model that was just made to handle a quirk such as Overhaul."
"You made one just for Izuku?" Kai raised an eyebrow, while also wondering if he should be worried.
"I did." The mouse nodded. "After his kindness at the recommendation exams I felt that he was lowering his ability substantially. This will definitely challenge him."
"HERE COME THE BIG GUYS!" Present Mic announced.
"Big guys?" Shinso asked as he used his last shot to take off a One Pointer's head. "The Zero Pointers?"
"Probably." Izuku jumped off of a Three Pointer. "Wait how big are they exactly?"
To answer Izuku's question the ground began to shake and they all heard the sound of large machine be parts at work.
"That sounds pretty big." Shinso sighed.
"Should have saved ammo." Izuku stated as a giant metal hand come into view from a side street and grabbed the edge of a building. The hand was easily as wide as 10 meters.
"That's a big robot."
"The big one is coming!?" Himiko got happy.
"Did they say how big it was?" Mina asked.
"Big enough to stab?!" Himiko hoped.
The Zero Pointer appeared for Test Site Six, smashing through part of a building before it saw all of the kids who were on the main street of the zone.
"TARGET LOCATED." A electric voice came from it.
"That's a pretty big robot." A guy next to them said. He had a blue headband on keeping his black hair away from his eyes.
"I think I need a bigger knife." Himiko looked at her small blades.
"How much do they mean to you?" The black haired guy asked.
"Why?"
"Break the handles and I can fuse them into one longer blade." He offered.
"Sold!" The blonde immediately began to break apart her knives.
"Leave one handle on." The guy felt that he had to actually remind her. "I'm Yosetsu."
"Himiko!" She handed him the blades. "Do your thing!"
"Got it." Yosetsu grabbed the blades and began to use his quirk, fusing the blades from end the end to make a very odd looking sword.
"Take some acid!" Mina offered as she began to make her acid pour over the blade, at a level that wouldn't melt the blade but definitely add to its damage.
"Nice!" Himiko loved her new blade. "Let's stab a robot!" She ran the wards the Zero Pointer with glee.
"Hell yeah!" Mina followed without question.
"I should've asked for a blade." The unarmed Yosetsu groaned to himself as he followed as well.
"Is it me or does our Zero Pointer look different?" Izuku asked as he noticed it had no knee joints or elbows, just a glow like an energy was working as replacement.
"That does look different." Shinso nodded.
Izuku wondered why before he realized why it was different looking. "It's because of me."
"What?"
"Principal Nezu knew about my quirk and everything. He must want to see me at how I handle a challenge." Izuku explained. "Hitoshi can you help people get away from it while I deal with it?"
"On your own?"
"I got a magic touch. I got this." Izuku ran forward without another word.
"Don't mess up." Shinso called after his new friend.
Kai held a proud grin as both of his kids instantly decided to go after the Zero Pointers of their Test Site with no hesitation. They were aware of its meaning to the test and that honestly meant nothing to them. He knew Himiko wanted to just stab the biggest robot and Izuku no doubt wanted to test Overhaul on something made to challenge his quirk.
Nezu sat back and sipped some tea. While he shouldn't be biased at all when watching the students he was definitely only going to pay attention to Izuku, that boy was way too interesting to not want to watch.
The blonde girl looked at the gigantic Zero Pointer in shock. It came out of a hangar in the ground close to her and she had no way of defending herself from it.
She had only managed to hit the power button on seven One Pointers and one Two Pointer. All of the other students with actual quirks had quickly dispatched the villain bots near her so she had no way of actually passing at this rate. Unless she used her quirk to take someone else's quirk to destroy more. She didn't want to do that because it wouldn't be her actually earning those points in her eyes.
Then the Zero Pointer, a Zero Pointer that didn't look like the ones described by Present Mic, had stomped its way into the zone.
She immediately froze but got out of her stupor when she heard the sound of gravel and a teen with a bird mask flew past her on a stretch of road that was moving with him.
"Get far back!" The teen yelled as he flew past her and a few others.
"Is he insane!?" A girl that looked like a panther exclaimed.
The blonde girl didn't know why but she ran towards the Zero Pointer. Maybe it was her drive to actually prove she has her own strength or she was the insane one but she ran towards it. If the other robots had an off button this one had to have one also.
"Watch out!" A tired voice got everyone's attention as a stretch of building started to fall. The robot had smashed its arm into a building trying to hit that boy who was manipulating the ground to travel.
"Nezu it'll crush them!" Nemuri wanted to press the button that would send in the other much faster robots that make sure accidents don't happen.
"Nonsense." Nezu indicated towards a certain teen who had ditched his dirt path through the air to jump onto the falling debris. "The students have this covered."
Before anyone below could react to the falling building it suddenly stopped falling, she looked up to see the biggest part that was falling had stretched out to make itself into the buildings on either side of the road to catch all of the other pieces.
"What?" A teen got confused about not being crushed to death.
"You all okay!?" The masked teen poked his head over the side of his impromptu platform.
"We're fine Chisaki!" A purple haired teen gave a thumbs up. "Get the robot I will get them away from here!"
"Okay!" The Chisaki kid gave his own thumbs up before part of his platform shift and he began to travel towards the robot again.
"Everyone get away." The purple haired teen ordered them. "Chisaki is distracting it."
"Who are you to tell-" A guy tried to argue before his eyes gained a blank look.
"Just go." The purple haired teen sighed.
The blonde girl looked up at the building sized robot and felt insignificant. Not to the robot but the students in the test that involved it, especially that masked teen. How was she even thinking at all that she could get into the same course as that guy?
Her urge to prove her worth kicked in and she still ran for the robot, grabbing a broken Two Pointer's arm blaster as she did. She had to at least try.
Himiko loved her new blade, with the acid from her now definite best friend she was cutting through bits and pieces of the Zero Pointer like it was melted butter. Her running at te Zero Pointer cackling like the mad lass she was made some other kids spur into action as well and it could be summed up as a good ten kids bullying a giant robot by destroying it by the feet first.
Yosetsu had talked a extremely large and muscular guy into throwing him high enough that Yosetsu had landed on top of the Zero Pointer, where he used his quirk of fusing things together to get one of its arms stuck to its head when it tried to swat him off.
Mina was melting off large portions of its right leg by pretty much just running up and down it while letting her acid just pour off of her, the large amounts of the liquid burning right through the metal.
Himiko was of course stabbing and slashing with her new favorite toy at its chest until she got a way inside of the robot, which only made the poor machine's situation worse because everything inside was not as hard to cut through as the outside, so Himiko was being even more destructive.
Izuku was trying to figure out what to do. This Zero Pointer was unique, and made with him in mind. That was impressive seeing as how Nezu only knew about his quirk for the last week. It had most of its joints and such replaced with what he could guess was someone using a magnet quirk or some advanced magnets. He can of course just grab parts and disassemble them but this robot was moving really fast for something its size. So far he was using Overhaul to manipulate paths through the air with the street or buildings as material for it, he didn't want to just get too close too fast because that thing was expecting him.
Maybe that was a point to it. The robot had parts that made it look difficult to deal with up close so he would focus in taking it out up close in a systematic fashion. Nezu had a good guess on how Izuku thinks and clearly was trying to test how he reacts to the situation. Izuku could just manipulate a building into a large spike and impale the thing through its head.
Deciding to go with that he moved his odd trail of street material towards the building he was closest to on his right. Once he got close enough to it he tapped the building and made the entire top three floors of the seventeen story building rise and shift into a large spike, and drove it straight towards the Zero Pointer's head.
The Zero Pointer reacted in time and blocked the spike with its left hand, the spike ripping the hand apart completely. In way too fast of a reaction it sent its other arm towards Izuku, the masked teen pulled his spike back just as fast and made it come to him just as fast as the metal fist. He intercepted the fist and made the attack of the Zero Pointer instead smash into the building he was in front of.
"Geez you are fast." Izuku muttered as he got an idea that classified as dumb and smart at the same time. He jumped onto the Zero Pointer's fist as it pulled the part out of the building. He didn't break it yet because his plan required it trying to smash him into a building again or, more effective for his plan, try to smack him off with the other hand.
It gave him what he wanted by trying to use its mostly destroyed left hand to smash him. The emerald and gold eyed teen grinned under his mask and grabbed the hand he was on, making it manipulate to make a shell for him to block the impact of the two hands clashing. The force of the impact shook Izuku slightly but he kept his grip and made the top of his shell disappear, letting him have access to both hands of the machine. He then grabbed both of the hands at the same time and manipulated them to destroy the magnets keeping them attached to the Zero Pointer, feeling the effects of gravity taking him and the hands down to the ground a good distance below him. It didn't matter when he was making perhaps the biggest hammer of all time as he fell.
The blonde girl did not know her plan at this point. She had ran into a building and up fourteen flights of stairs and was now at neck level with the Zero Pointer. She still had the robot arm blaster and figured she can shoot its neck until the thing just died. It hadn't noticed her since it was preoccupied with the teen who was using everything he touched as a weapon.
Izuku grimaced when the robot suddenly made a shield from its chest as he was halfway through the swing of his overly large hammer. It would take the blow and he didn't what that to happen, no doubt the thing would counter-attack with barely enough time for Izuku to react again. He grit his teeth and made the swing harder as saw a shot go from a window of the building behind the Zero Pointer right into its neck.
She had seen a glowing ring that circled the Zero Pointer's neck and figured it must be the weak point and fired. It made sparks fly out and the Zero Pointer dropped its shield it was using to protect itself, right as a very large mess of the robot's hands smashed it over the now defenseless head. The robot staggered back from the hit the masked teen gave it and fell into the building the blonde was in, breaking apart the building as it did.
"You gotta be kidding me." She swore right before the collapsing building began to make her fall as well.
Izuku saw movement of a falling person and began to jump from piece of falling rubble to piece of falling rubble to catching up the the falling person, grabbing rubble as he went to making spike into other rubble to clear his path. He quickly caught up and snatched the girl from the air in a bridal carry. "Gotcha." He said as he continued to jump through the rubble with the safe path he had made to the ground.
He had grabbed a decently sized rock and was using it in his right arm, the one behind the girl's back, spike out and smack rubble away.
They reached the ground and were safe after a few seconds.
"That was an experience." Izuku exhaled.
The girl had wide eyes as she was looking at the masked teen. She had his quirk now and was so amazed. His bare hand was wrapped around her thighs and she had a skirt so it was skin on skin contact. His quirk was just... she couldn't describe it. Each quirk felt different but this one felt so much more different than any quirk she had copied before. It felt larger and so unique. It was like he had quirks combine together in him. She could feel energy accumulating and building up from his quirk but it wasn't even used in his manipulation of anything which was odd for an accumulation quirk. What else was it used for? She only knew as much as he did with the quirk and he didn't even know. It made her feel smaller in comparison worth wise when he was clearly so powerful and he didn't even have the full potential of his quirk yet.
She snapped from her thoughts when it occurred to her that she was staring at his emerald and gold eyes, and he was looking back at her own periwinkle with white irises ones, and he was saying something.
"What?" She turned red having to ask that.
"Are you okay?" The masked kid asked.
"Ye-" She looked up to avoid his eyes and saw a final piece of rubble falling, right above them. "Look out!"
Izuku looked up and realized he couldn't even react to touch it in time to destroy since the girl was still in his arms. He panicked but got amazed but the girl's reaction.
She instinctually reached up and grabbed the rubble right before it touched them and it instantly broke apart and got sent away from them.
Izuku looked at her with wide eyes. That was one of the coolest things he has ever seen. Which was saying something since he earlier used a robot to blow up other robots. The only thought he really had at that moment was something he wouldn't want to repeat to anyone.
That was hot.
"What?" The girl looked at him flustered.
"Did I just say that out loud?" Izuku turned red and was glad he had his mask on to hide some of it.
Did he just call her hot? The girl was suddenly aware he was still holding her and how close one of his hands was unconsciously to her rear.
She wasn't exactly proud of her reaction, it coming from her bitchy personality that was just made originally to hide how insecure she really was.
She slapped the guy who just saved her and yelled. "Put me down idiot!"
"Ah I'm sorry!" The emerald haired teen just dropped her on accident.
"Ow!" She grunted as she hit the ground. "I said put me down not drop me!" She was upset that she was still yelling at the guy, it was a really hard reflex to drop, especially when his hand was basically on her ass even if he wasn't aware of it or even trying anything.
"I'm sorry!" The masked teen said in embarrassment.
Kai let out a long, slow exhale as he pinched his nose. He didn't exactly know what to feel about either of his kids right now. Pride of course because one just cut up a giant robot while unintentionally getting a small army to follow her, and the other just destroyed a giant robot with not much help. However his daughter was currently laughing like a maniac on top of her defeated mechanical enemy and his son clearly doesn't know how to think without speaking.
"THAT'S IT FOR NOW KIDDIES!" Present Mic's speaking cut off Himiko's laughing. "IF YOU NEED ANY MEDICAL ATTENTION WE HAVE TENTS SET UP AT THE ENTRANCES TO YOUR ZONES. YOU ALL DID WELL! YOU ARE DISMISSED ONCE YOU GET ON THE BUSSES THAT WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO THE FRONT OF CAMPUS!"
"That was fun!" Mina breathed out from her spot in top of the definitely destroyed Zero Pointer's knee.
"I AM THE QUEEN OF STABBING!" Himiko was still too pumped to calm down immediately.
"Woo." Yosetsu wheezed from his spot against a wall, out of breath from the test. "Go Queen Stabby." He definitely didn't want to tick off the girl he was suspecting was actually crazy and not just doing a bit.
"ALL HAIL QUEEN STABBY!" Himiko shouted as she loved the name.
Shinso had a flat look as he saw the scene that just played out in between Izuku and this blonde girl.
"Are you okay?" Izuku asked the girl who had gotten up and dusted off her black skirt.
"Y-Yes." The girl seemed to fix herself from whatever she was originally going to say, her face completely red.
"Okay. I'm Izuku Chisaki!" The masked teen introduced himself and held out his hand to her. "What's your name?"
She really didn't want to say her last name because when she did he might connect her to her older sisters, and compare her to those two. "I'm Neimo... " She still decided to say it. "Monoma."
"Nice to meet you." He replied. Did he not know who the Monoma sisters were? "Even though we kinda met while trying not to fall to our deaths." Evidently not.
"I was the only one falling." Neimo pointed out.
"I almost did once or twice." Izuku responded. "Hard to keep a normal running pace when you run on rubble in mid air."
"I guess."
"Chisaki, you are bleeding." A tired voice got their attention and they finally noticed Shinso who had shown up a minute ago.
Izuku looked at his right arm and noticed how much blood it had. "Oh." He poked his arm and fixed it up good as new, minus the blood still being on it. He manipulated his blood to vibrate off of him and his arm looked in perfect condition. Then he repaired his dress shirt's sleeve. "All better."
"I got everyone away in turn before you decided to make a hammer out of the robot to smash over the rest of its head." The purple haired teen stated.
"Good job man." Izuku held up his hand for a fist bump and Shinso slowly returned it. He turned back to Neimo and kept his arm out. "You too Monoma."
"Why?" She didn't know what she really did to deserve praise, her performance was lackluster to her.
"You shot that Zero Pointer so it would drop its guard. Helped destroy it quicker." He didn't move his arm.
Neimo saw he wasn't going to just let it go so she reluctantly put her fist against his. Most people never really stayed around her this long in the close of a range and never wanted physical contact with her. It felt weird.
"What is your quirk?" She heard that question that she didn't want to answer because she knew he would start to be like everyone else. "It seems cool. Kinda like mine too."
"That's... because it is yours." Now she gets to get screamed at for stealing someone else's quirk.
"Huh?" The emerald teen responded.
"I can... steal quirks by having physical contact with people." She was avoiding eye contact.
The word stealing made Izuku think he didn't have Overhaul, which would be impossible since the synthetic transfer quirk being added to it makes him only give it to people willingly. Unless she could mimic quirks. Why would she say steal then? Either way the quirk was cool and definitely versatile. If she planned ahead she could copy a quirk right before it is needed and have a good prepared plan for anything. He didn't know why she was so hesitant to reveal it. Did someone give her negative treatment because of it? That made Izuku mad at whoever treated her badly. He would treat her differently than those people starting with his next question. "You can copy quirks?"
Mark Neimo as surprised that he didn't yell immediately. "I can."
"That's so cool. You must be a great strategist!"
"What?" Mark Neimo as twice surprised because she hasn't had anyone since her mother praise any part of her at all.
"It would be useful." Shinso added. He saw that look Neimo had, like all she got was negative treatment of her quirk. He was glad Izuku was thankfully a completely positive person who thought every quirk was cool.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you are one of the top five for our year when we all pass and get into the hero course." Izuku wasn't just saying that to build her up. He wholeheartedly believed that she could be top five. Her quirk was definitely versatile.
The blonde girl hadn't gotten positive treatment in a long time so she reacted by almost instantly hugging Izuku as hard as she could. It was only for a second before she realized how awkward it must be for him and immediately let go and took a step away from him. "That didn't happen." Neimo said completely flustered.
"Okay." The emerald teen nodded. "Um so let's get out of here." He stated as he realized the test was over and everyone could leave.
"I'm keeping this though." Shinso shook his new Three Pointer arm gun he found.
"I would." Izuku nodded as he and Shinso began to walk towards the entrance, before they noticed Neimo still hadn't moved from her spot. "Monoma you okay?"
She was suddenly aware of the fact that she had frozen in thought again, she really has to stop that. "Yes I'm fine." She began to head for the entrance as well.
The buses all arrived at the front of U.A. soon and the kids all exited them.
"That was not how I really expected that to happen." Shinso stated as he and Izuku walked to the gate.
"It was great though." The masked kid took his mask from his face to let it dangle. He also stopped and turned so he can make sure he finds Himiko.
"It was." Shinso nodded before he thought about something he wanted to say. "Chisaki thanks to you I got an even bigger chance to get into the hero course. I plan on being the best hero I can be so I am going to push myself as much as I can."
"Are you about to say what I think you are?" Izuku asked.
"Chisaki we are rivals now." Shinso said exactly what Izuku thought he would. "If I want to be the best I can be I have to use the best standard to hold myself by."
The Overhaul holder mused how he gained a friendly rival from both exams. "I say the same to you man. Gotta hold ourselves to the best standard we can." He held his fist up to the purple haired teen. "Rivals?"
"Rivals." Shinso smiled as he put his fist against Izuku's
"Ooo did you find a boyfriend?" Himiko made her appearance as she found her brother, a pink girl following her.
"No we're rivals." Izuku had a flat look at his sister.
"Hi I'm Mina Ashido!" The pink girl introduced herself.
"Izuku Chisaki."
"Shinso Hitoshi."
"And I'm Himiko Chisaki!" She introduced herself last.
"This is your brother?" Mina leaned on Izuku's shoulder with her elbow. The emerald teen looked confused by the action but didn't stop her.
"Yep." The blonde Chisaki nodded.
"So how nerdy are you exactly?" The pink girl looked at Izuku.
"How did Himiko put it?"
"You most likely got a perfect score on the written test."
"Sounds about right." The emerald teen nodded.
"Are you a nerd too?" Himiko asked Shinso.
"No."
"You look like you need a nap." Himiko observed as she took in the purple haired guy's appearance.
"I do." Shinso was tired and he believed most of it had to do with the multiple Three Pointer arm guns he had carried around during the test, and the one he had strapped to his back. He wasn't questioned by any of the teachers so far that had seen him take the arm so he assumed they didn't really care, or weren't going to test the kid who wanted a giant gun.
"Why did you take one of the Three Pointer's arms?" Mina asked the purple haired guy.
"I broke it so it is mine."
"I should have kept one of the Zero Pointer's arms then." Izuku stated.
"How many of you guys did it take to break the Zero Pointer?" The pink girl asked.
"Just Chisaki, which was fine since it looked like we got a special one."
"Monoma helped with that one shot." Izuku pointed out.
"Wait you took it out by yourself?" Mina got so confused. This guy didn't really have a scratch on him and only dust for the most part.
"With some help."
"We bullied our Zero Pointer." Himiko said with glee.
"She stabbed it a bunch of times and I melted it. Some others joined us and it was really one sided against the tin can." The acidic pink girl nodded. "Wait how was yours special?"
"Didn't have normal joints." Izuku answered. "Had magnets instead so I couldn't just touch one part of it and destroy the whole thing."
"Wait you can just touch it and destroy it? What is your quirk?" Mina asked.
"It's called Overhaul." Izuku and Kai talked about it a few days ago and if All Might and Nezu knew about Kai's past and such then Izuku can go to actually using Overhaul's name. They were two of the most trusted people in hero society, and with the chance that Kai takes the teaching job more people might learn the truth about his past, but it won't be as bad with them backing Kai. "I can manipulate anything I touch."
"So what you are saying is you got magic fingers?" Mina grinned when she said that.
It went over Izuku's head what she meant. "I guess. I can heal people by touching them."
Mina had a flat look when she realized Izuku didn't get what she meant, which she shared with Himiko as they looked at each other briefly.
"I'm going to leave now." Shinso stated."I'm getting out of here before they ask for the arm back. See you Chisaki."
"Bye Hitoshi!" Izuku waved to his new rival.
"I should get going too." Mina said. "It was so nice to meet you guys!" She was waving as she walked away. "Talk to you later bestie!"
"You guys swapped numbers?" Izuku looked at his sister.
"Yep! We're besties now." Himiko nodded.
"That's great. Looks like you got a bond like you wanted."
"Hell yeah! And it's with a baddie like my bestie!" Himiko chirped. "You got a new friend also. He is cute but really needs a nap."
"Are you just going to say things like that about every guy we both meet?"
"Only to mess with you from now on."
"That sounds about right." Izuku shrugged. "Well let's go home and let mom and dad know how we did."
The two teen Chisaki's were confused when they got home and no one was there, for all of two seconds before they actually checked their phones to see messages from Kai and Ryūko that told them exactly where the adults were, still at U.A.. The teens then spent their afternoon just relaxing after their exam up until later that night when Kai and Ryūko, with Eri, came back home.
"How did we do?!" Himiko asked excitedly.
"We're not allowed to tell your scores to you until you get your letters in the mail. Plus the major evaluation takes place tomorrow anyways." Kai replied.
"But I wanna know." Himiko pouted.
"Personally I think you both ddi great." Ryūko grinned. "I enjoyed your groups working together in such a way Himiko "
"I just wanted to stab the robots. Everyone thought I was cool and joined me." Himiko was actually proud that people followed her for once instead of running away from her.
"Izuku your efforts were definitely something as well. I only have one note though." Kai had a grin because he knew Izuku would get embarrassed when he said this.
"What is it?"
"Make sure you aren't thinking out loud next time."
"Out loud?" Izuku got confused before he realized that his dad saw his first interaction with that Neimo girl. The emerald haired teen turned red. "You saw that?"
"I think every member of the staff saw that." Ryūko answered.
"Oh God." Izuku put his face against the table.
"Wait what happened?" Himiko had to know now.
"A girl did something cool and I..." Izuku didn't want to finish.
"He said that it was hot what she did but he meant to only think it." Kai chuckled.
"Aww, I knew you would meet the love of your life." Himiko teased her brother.
"I should have let that thing crush me." Izuku groaned into the table.
A week later the two kids got letters in the mail from U.A.
"Oh boy!" Himiko ripped hers open as soon as it was placed in her hands by Toshinori, who hand delivered the letters so he can tell them things in person instead of on a video. Izuku was simpler in his opening of his letter, popping open his letter with Overhaul.
"You two kids did amazing at the exams." Toshinori started his speech for the two. "You each went to the height of your abilities and showed that you easily deserve to be in the hero course at U.A., Your scores are on the sheets and so are your placements in the first year. Not by classes as those are decided later today, but your rank garnered by the scores of your written test and also your practical test."
"I thought we only gained villain points?" Himiko held up her score card where it also had hero points as well.
"Those were the points gained by your altruistic acts during the test. Any camaraderie you showcased were considered for those." Ryūko explained.
"I got forty nine villain points." Himiko stated. "Those robots were wiped easily. I also got forty hero points." She had eighty-nine points and was ranked forth, right behind Tenya, as the top ten people were shown in every kid's letter so they all would know who the top ten were. Tenya had ninety three points, he must have used Izuku's advice and partnered up with someone.
"You got fourth." Kai said. "That's great, especially when Nezu is saying the kids this year had the highest scores on average compared to every other year."
"I actually held the record at one hundred and thirty two points up until this year." All Might said.
"Wait you lost it?" Izuku said as he looked up, not wanting to check his score yet he didn't know of the numbers he had that had broke a 28 year old record.
Himiko looked down at her paper where it had the top ten students and saw the one student above Toshinori's record. "Izuku... Open your paper."
The holder of Overhaul opened his paper and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Izuku I got my one hundred and thirty two points by adding up my eighty-two villain points and fifty hero points." Toshinori had so much pride, just like Izuku's parents did at that moment. "Even without your hero points you still are over my record."
Shinso got his letter and he was in shock. He knew it was a possibility that he would get into the hero course but seeing those words... it just felt so nice. He even made it into the top ten! He had forty seven villain points and forty hero points, he was number six on the top ten! He had Izuku to thank for this and that made him curious about his masked rival's score. When he checked it he had even wider eyes.
Neimo had gotten her letter, a shock to her sisters who have been saying things about how she wouldn't get one of the gold enveloped letters that meant she passed the exams. She expected to hear about how she got in at the bare minimum for the general education department, but the letter didn't say that. It praised her for her not running away from the Zero Pointer and being valuable to taking it down as quickly as it was. The letter said that it would have taken longer without her. She even got praise for saving that kid Izuku when debris was about to crush them back when she used his quirk to save them.
She had nine villain points and fifty hero points, her total of fifty nine points put her in the twelfth highest spot of the hero course and qualified her for the hero course.
She admittedly got curious about that cute masked kid and his score, not that she actually thought he was cute or anything, and it's not like anyone as strong as him would care for a quirk thief like her. She still checked the top ten for his score and had to reread his score a good few times just to make sure she read it correctly.
Katsuki Bakugo already knew he would make it into the hero course. He was way better than everyone else so it was natural he would. He skipped right to the part of the letter that had the top ten people in the first year to check his score, not bothering to read the number one name because he knew it was his. He grinned at the overly high score. He checked the name of the sap in second place to see who he would make his right hand and got confused as fuck when he read the second place name and score.
Katsuki Bakugo
112 - villain points 0 - hero points
How the fuck was he in second place?! He didn't even break All Might's damned record! He read the name of the dumb bastard that got first place and knew right then that he was going to make it a mission to crush this shit head and prove his superiority to everyone. Especially this Izuku Chisaki.
"Izuku the teacher's weren't just watching how everyone acted in the test itself." Toshinori started. "Everyone was watching the students from the second they stepped onto U.A.'s grounds to the second you all stepped off of the campus. The staff all showed their appreciation for your actions, when you talked to Iida, and how you gave out advice that wasn't necessary of you to help others. When you talked to Young Hitoshi and made a kid with a negative viewpoint of his quirk and others with quirks that seem better for a hero. You affected three different test sites with your words and had people band together to bring out the best in each other, most of them getting higher scores because of your influence. You took control the second the Zero Pointer appeared and saved multiple kids from what you thought would be a disaster for them. Even after the test you still showed concern for others over yourself, and helped another person with a negative viewpoint of their self just because it's what you believe you should do." Toshinori finished there to Kai take it from there.
"The entire staff believes you have a heart of gold and that is why we all believed you deserved that many hero points." Kai smiled.
"We're so proud of you Izu." Ryūko pulled her son into a hug.
Izuku was tearing up from their words out of happiness and looked at his score one last time.
Izuku Chisaki
178 - Villain points / 100 - hero points
Total points - 278 points
A/N: That's the end of the exam arc everybody.
I know Izuku's scores seems a bit high, but come on the dude is a beast. Plus everything that happened that I typed, or you read, wasn't the only action. It was a good ten minutes of that. Plus I wanted him to have 78 somewhere in his score since 78 is my lucky number and no way was I letting Katsuki score higher than him.
If it's not obvious now, which would be confusing since a good bit of the chapter is from her perspective, the oairing is Izuku and fem Monoma. I thought if this since the second I started this story and honestly I think they would be good for each other. And they have common ground, especially since they both don't actually have their own unique quirk. Neimo copies other quirks, and Izuku got Overhaul from Kai, even if Overhaul has evolved. She will have that "bitchiness" as a defense mechanism because well, reread her parts I guess. She will lose them over time but I wanted to not stray too far with Neimo's character at first. Plus it fits with like half of the themes and situations of the story that she has no belief in herself at first, literally 90% of the main cast of the kids all have that in some way, where they prove what they are labeled as is wrong.
Here is a very very nice and important question for you guys. Who do you all want in the classes? I mena you can tell me all forty in the four classes if you want but I am interested in class 1-C and 1-D the most, those being Kai and Ryūko's respectively. I have my own ideas but I also want to know what you guys are thinking of. I am going to put two versions of 1-C here if you guys want to just vote from those two. (If you are wondering who didn't pass it is Mineta and Kojiro the sticky bois)
1-C variation one: Izuku, Shoto, Shinso, Mina, Neimo, Tenya, Himiko, Sen Kaibara, Eijiro, Fumikage
1-C variation two: Izuku, Shoto, Shinso, Yosetsu, Tenya, Jurota Shishida, Sen Kaibara, Eijiro, Tetsutetsu, Fumikage
The only difference is whether or not the three main girls of the story (Neimo, Himiko and Mina) are in 1-C with the three main guys (Izuku, Shoto and Shinso) or in 1-D with otuer females. (1-D is just girls who will kick ass.)
Part of me wanted the main girls of the story and the main guys to be in the separate classes so as to add more to the story (and Ryūko would be a kick ass teacher for them)
These don't have to be the only versions to choose from, if you guys want you can change it up and make a good argument for how you want the classes to be.
I'm doing that replying thing I do now:
SkylerHollow: I hope that sufficed a little as a range sort of thing for Overhaul. It's not definitive yet since he still has to figure out all if the evolutions to Overhaul that there are.
Yamajiji: I love the family dynamic also. I also like writing for Himiko because she has like no filter as this version of her and her humor is just everywhere.
Kureer: I love Quill and am glad you like him. He is my first original character ever too. I don't know about Inasa yet here, didn't think of him yet here tbh. You know that does sound like a badass Red Riot to me, lightning powers always sell to me. Nice cold shoulder joke, I was actually thinking of it while typing out that scene. Ryūko x Kai was a goal of this story when I started it, everyone seems to like it. Yes Bakugo is pissed as hell that Izuku straight up dominated, and now has a one sided rivalry with him. Fuck Bakugo indeed. This Spitfire was actually just a dick even before Izuku and Inko, he was just using her here like a way crueler Endeavor. The Spitfire in Clear Blooded was a good man but this guy is just not. Thank you for the praise. I love writing the most in life so that means so much to me. I hope you grow as well.
Crazytiger999: Not necessarily a fort but you were close.
NyaNyaKittyFace: Lmao Bakugo didn't even break the score from All Might, Izuku crushed it. I'm sure that eventually no one would want to mess with Himiko eventually because of how little she tries to hide her wild side. About Himiko's pairing honestly it is either Tenya, Shoto or Shinso. Those three are the only people I would want to do that with because any interaction would funny to me with those people. I will watch FMAB soon for sure.
Im The Person: Sorry man, you didn't guess correctly. It was Neimo. I wanted others to knock him down too but Damn i really want him to hate Izuku the most. Endeavor can still redeem himself, while yes what he did was bad he still loves his son deep down even if he hasn't really done anything good. Hizashi definitely doesn't deserve redemption however,he left a five year old to die in an alley. Ah shucks you think I'm a good writer. That means a lot since writing is my life dream. I've always wanted to write stories and these are my way of making sure I am ready before I write my real story (which I have out in elements and themes of into each story I wrote) You like Eyes of a Demon? Lucky surprise after this chapter that story is next for me to work on mad I might do more than one chapter for it.
GamerTronZ46: Don't make me picture that lol. If I was actually good at drawing anything past a squiggly line I would be helpful. Honestly for the banter I just think how I would speak in a conversation as each person and basically go from there.
ocomhdhain1: I understand that completely. it makes sense. I was actually going to give it to someone in the first years but let everyone vote up until USJ and bless I get an idea in my head that doesn't leave at all.
That's all I have. I'm going to work on my other stories more now because you guys have gotten spoiled for the past few updates. It's my fault though so you guys are cool. I'm honestly going to go spoil Eyes of a Demon now because that one has the least amount of love compared to the others and it should have just as much love. Hope you guys liked the chapter, let me know how it was and have a good day!
