Izuku POV: Mindlessly I picked at my food, while my nerves were eating me. I counted the bots I destroyed and there weren't many. And given how well everyone else did, I don't think I made it.
But Kacchan seemed to have had enough and said, "Would you stop acting so depressed!"
"Okay…" I tried to smile.
But both Saika and Kacchan didn't seem to believe me as she put some dessert on the table. But they didn't say anything as we ate, up until the doorbell rang. Saika answered it. When she quickly got back she was holding two envelopes with the UA symbol on them.
"Looks like the moment of truth." she said, handing us our respected envelopes.
Kacchan headed to his room and I was too, but Saika stopped me.
"Izuku, you did the right thing. If they don't recognize that then they aren't worthy of you." she stated as a matter of fact.
I nodded and went to my room. I didn't turn on the lights and inserted the disc. If my nerves were bad before, they were through the roof now. But I hit play and watched as President Mic appeared on my screen.
"Well Midoriya, you certainly surprised everyone with your move to save that girl. And she was certainly grateful. She even wanted to give some of her points to you. But that's against the rules."
I sank into my chair. I was afraid of that more than anything. Now comes the part where I don't get in.
"And as you know that particular bot had no points, so you gained nothing from destroying it."
I hung my head low, this is the worst.
"At least the traditional points." I looked up in surprise.
"But as far as heroic points go, you instantly gained 60. More than enough to get in." he said, loudly and with a giant smile on his face.
"Welcome to UA, Izuku Midoriya!" A giant congratulations appeared on the screen before the video ended.
And jumped out of my chair, screaming in joy. And Kacchan came in, screaming at me to be quiet, and Saika just laughed at the doorway. A normal way for us to celebrate.

Later that night.
Izuku POV: I sat on the oak tree Saika grew in the front, watching the sun as it set. Tomorrow was going to be the first day of us being on the direct path to being heroes. I couldn't help but smile at the thought.
"Midoriya." Someone said below me.
I looked down and saw All Might…
All Might!
I immediately jumped down and said, "Uh… Hi, sir."
He looked the same as before and laughed gently and said, "You don't need to call me sir."
"Ah… okay." Jeez, why do I have to sound as nervous as I feel?
"You did a good job, and it was impressive that you were willing to sacrifice your standing at the school for that girl. Just like a true hero." I could die right now.
"And that's part of the reason I came to you."
"Wha?" I asked, confused.
He took a deep breath and asked, "When someone asked about my quirk, have you noticed that I avoided the topic? Leading people to believe that it was a simple strength quirk." I nodded, thinking about it.
"Well, that's a lie. My quirk is a quirk that was given to me by my mentor. One that was passed down from many others known as One for All."
I froze in shock. I've never heard of something like that. I don't think anyone has ever had a quirk like that before. But there is one thing I don't understand.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"Because, I'm looking for someone to pass this to. And I want to give it to you." He said, looking me right in the eyes.
I could feel my mouth hanging open.
Saika POV: I stood near the door of the house. Katsuki was already asleep, but Izuku was still outside.
Talking with his favorite hero.
I should have known he would approach him. Izuku has the heart and soul of a hero. And anyone could see it. But I know the price that comes with having One for All. A price I don't want him to have to pay.
But I know all I could do at this point was to keep Izuku safe.
For the sake of my promise.
"Very well, Toshinori. We'll see how this plays out. For now." I whispered.
