Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here Naegi and Kibo reflect on the recent happenings and whether they would consider in going to Hope's Peak Superhero Academy…until someone came and gave them an offer…and the rest is…

Well, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 8: Sūpāhīrōakademī no sukauto

The scene shifts at Naegi's rented unit, where he and Kibo are having breakfast and the pair are somewhat at loss of words after recalling what the Idol Mistress told them a few days ago, in which that in order for them to be recognized as heroes, they must be enrolled at Hope's Peak Superhero Academy, where they would be judged according to their heroic deeds, and once graduated they will be employed at Hope's Peak Heroes Association, where aside from being recognized as professional superheroes, they too will be receiving salaries and perks.

Naegi thought about it and Kibo noticed his silence and asked if he is thinking about enrolling Hope's Peak, which he said that he is thinking about it, as he felt that if he is enrolled, he might earn some money so as to pay the rent of the unit they are staying, so that he won't have to rely on Kibo's allowance in paying the rent.

"Naegi-sensei..."

"Huh?"

"Are you okay? You seemed to be in deep thought. Are you thinking about what that scout said to us recently?"

"Yeah."

"So you wished to enroll at Hope's Peak Suoerhero Academy?"

"Yeah. I find it...enticing. You get to study there...and once graduated, you get to earn money, which I think is good so that I can pay the rent of the place we are staying. I can't just rely on you..."

"I understand. I too feel that we should enroll so we can operate without constrains."

"Hmm..."

The two thought about it as they recall the event where they encountered the Idol Mistress as she helped in dealing with the mesmerized rats that were causing terror at the city proper.

-FLASHBACK-

As Kibo began using a flamethrower to take down the swarm of rats, Naegi is hesitant but is compelled to act as he removed the hat and trench coat and revealed the red suit and cape he is wearing, and confronted the robot, Shu-Kuma, and took a deep breath as he pondered what approach would he use to strike down the Shu-Kuma.

The mechanical entity then set its sight on Naegi, and is ready to send its rats at him, and Naegi stared wide-eyed as terror filled his thoughts and reacted on unintentional instinct as he did a Roman Reigns move by doing a SUPERMAN PUNCH, and strikes down the Shu-Kuma, and by LUCK, Naegi struck down the part where it showed that it was the source of its movement and functions.

Shu-Kuma was unexpectedly defeated.

Naegi stood there and wondered if he really defeated the mechanical Monokuma, but then he saw Kibo having difficulty in containing the rabid rats, and Naegi asked what is wrong, where Kibo said that the rats moved quite fast and could not attack them directly as he might harm innocent people.

"What's wrong, Kibo?"

"Naegi-sensei…"

"Can't you strike those rats?"

"I can't…they move too fast…"

"Eh?"

"And with too many people…I can't risk hitting them!"

"Seriously?"

"Yes!"

However, an unexpected help arrived as someone sang a song, which was melodic in nature, and the rats were compelled to assemble in one spot, and there Kibo uses his flamethrower to burn the rats to death, and calm was restored.

There Naegi saw who did this, and it turn out to be Sayaka Maizono, aka Idol Mistress. There she glanced at Naegi, as she finds him…cute. There she asked him if he is also a pro-hero, which made him blink his eyes as he is unaware of such a thing, and when he answered her honestly, Idol Mistress told Naegi that if he wants to be recognized as a pro-hero, he has to be enrolled at Hope's Peak Hero Association.

Kibo overheard it and asks Idol Mistress what she meant, and there she told Kibo that he and Naegi must be enrolled at Hope's Peak Superhero Academy so that in turn they can be superheroes in training before becoming pro-heroes, and there she told them that to be enrolled they must be scouted by Hope's Peak scouts as they would determine if they are eligible to become superheroes.

"So to enroll Hope's Peak…you must be scouted."

"Eh?"

"Really?"

"Yup."

"That's…"

"So in other words…this scout must see us…? In action?"

"Yup. And I'm sure he is somewhere near and probably saw you in action."

"Really?"

"Hope's Peak Superhero Academy…so we must be enrolled there so we would be recognized…as heroes…?"

Naegi and Kibo stared at Idol Mistress after being informed that they are not official pro-heroes and while their efforts are appreciated, they won't be recognized as such, and told them that they have to be scouted so that once they became known as students of Hope's Peak, they will be recognized and be given recognition.

After that she waved at the crowd, and the crowd applauded as some were mesmerized by her beauty and grace, and this somewhat overshadowed Naegi and Kibo's efforts in dealing with the Monokuma that they defeated, and the two wondered if the crowd are cheering for them or cheering her presence.

"Whoa..."

"I admit she is impressive."

"Are they...cheering for us...?"

"I think they are cheering for her, Naegi-sensei."

"You think so?"

"Looks like it."

"..."

"..."

-END FLASHBACK-

Naegi sighed as he doubt that he and Kibo would be entering at the academy as he recalled what Idol Mistress said…the scout must personally approach the potential and invite him or her to enroll. Kibo thought about it as well and wondered if what Idol Mistress said would be true or not, as up until now the so-called scout of Hope's Peak has not invited them to enroll at Hope's Peak.

By then the doorbell rang, and Kibo stood up to answer it, and there he saw a person standing at the front door, where the cyborg can tell that the person reeks of liquor and he asked that person if he needed anything and who is he looking for.

The person said that he is a scout from Hope's Peak Superhero Academy, and he came here after following Naegi, and the scout, revealed to be Koichi Kizakura, said that he witnessed Naegi and Kibo's actions recently and this made him realize that the two have potential and said that he came here to personally invite Naegi and Kibo to have them enrolled at Hope's Peak.

Kibo was quite surprised and asked if he is serious about this, which Kizakura smiled and said that he is.

"Yup…you heard me…I'm here to invite you to enroll at Hope's Peak Superhero Academy."

"For real?"

"That's right."

"To have the chance to become a pro-hero?"

"You got it. You and your friend."

"…"

"May I come in?"

"Yes…sure…"

Kibo then invited Kizakura in while he called Naegi, and at the living room area Kizakura told the two teens that he has been observing the two for quite some time, and is now sure that they have the potential to become professional superheroes, and informed them that as scout of Hope's Peak Superhero Academy, he is here to recruit Naegi and Kibo to enroll them at the academy.

Kibo nodded as he saw this as an opportunity, while Naegi is quite unsure, and asked if he has to pay for the tuition fee, which Kizakura assured that the tuition fee is waived and he has nothing to pay for, which slowly entices Naegi.

"Really, Mr. Kizakura?"

"Yup. No tuition fees…nothing."

"Then…"

"All you have to do is show up…and have a series of tests…"

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"Really?"

"Yup."

After hearing this, Naegi asked how long will he attend the academy and asked if he would receive an allowance, which Kizakura said that they will attend for three years and will receive a monetary allowance depending on the heroic deeds they performed, and after some more discussion, he asked Kibo if he is in as well.

Kibo nodded saying that if this is the only way to become professional superheroes and be recognized for their deeds, then they should enroll, stating that Naegi should enroll as well in order to be classified as a superhero and not a vigilante.

"I think Mr. Kizakura has a point, Naegi-sensei."

"…"

"You should enroll as well."

"Well…"

"That way we can do hero stuffs without constrains from the law. You get to earn some allowance…"

"Yeah…I guess I should."

"Then it's settled. We will enroll."

"Right."

Smiling, Kizakura took out his cellphone and took Naegi and Kibo's pictures and sent their photos to the online system of Hope's Peak, and the process of having tnem enrolled commences, and there Kizakura tells Naegi and Kibo to attend tomorrow to undergo physical and written exams.

Naegi is surprised upon hearing this and asked if they really have to undergo such exams, which Kizakura said yes, as the exam results will determine their ranking and which talent they show, and the rest is history.

"That's how it rolls along."

"…"

"The tests you'll take will be easy."

"Really?"

"Yup. If you're LUCKY…you might be placed in a higher-tier rank and section."

"For real?"

"Of course."

"…"

Naegi nodded and accepted, and Kizakura took his leave, and told them that he is expecting them to see them tomorrow and do well in the physical and written exams. As Kizakura left, Kibo asked Naegi is he is sure about undergoing the exams, which Naegi nodded, saying he really needed to do so as he would get to earn money should he pass the exams and is enrolled.

Kibo nodded and said that he too will undergo the exams so that he can be recognized as a pro-hero and can operate without restraints.

"I think Mr. Kizakura has a point, Naegi-sensei."

"…"

"We should take the exams."

"Well…"

"That way we can do hero stuffs without constrains from the law. You get to earn some allowance…and if we passed the exams, then that would mean we got in. we will be recognized as heroes of Hope's Peak…"

"Yeah…I guess I should."

"Then it's settled. We will head there tomorrow."

"Right."

-x-

At the conference room of Hope's Peak Superhero Academy, the Steering Committee members are debating about Kizakura's actions as they are not receptive about recruiting Naegi and Kibo, as they felt that they are considered a PAIR OF BLACK EYES and want to turn them away, but the rest seemed to see that the two teens can be assets and can help raise Hope's Peak Superhero Academy's image, and urged the rest to give them a chance.

They stated that it will depend on the results of the exams which will take place tomorrow and if the results prove to be positive then it should be okay, and the rest are unsure if this is okay to let Kizakura recruit Naegi and Kibo.

"I can't believe that Kizakura would have the balls to approach those two…!"

"They're just brats pretending to be superheroes…"

"We should turn them down right away!"

"Wait…we saw what the footage showed…they took down two Monokumas…that means they are useful…"

"And if they passed the exams, then we should let them in."

"I agree."

"Wait…we can't just…"

"What if they're just wannabes…?"

To Be Continued...

Hope you like this chapter, as Naegi and Kibo are approached by Kizakura and are given the chance to become pro-heroes by enrolling at Hope's Peak Superhero Academy and be recognized as heroes…all they have to do is attend the exams and the results would depend on whether they can pass or not….

Then there's the Steering Committee, as they are not quite receptive towards the two seeing them as mere eyesore, though some seemed to have a soft spot considering that they saw Naegi and Kibo in action

It would be a matter of time before the two teens would set foot on this academy for superheroes.

Preview:

Naegi and Kibo head out to Hope's Peak Superhero Academy to participate in the exams. But will the Steering Committee be willing to let the two in?

See you in August or September…

Reviews are needed…
