Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here three of Class 1-A's students are going to be quite busy…two are set to meet an elderly martial artist, while another is investigating another organization that caters aspiring pro heroes…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 10: Shiken
At UA, Endeavor is in deep thought, wondering what his son, Shoto is up to and why would he want to go undercover and seek out Hero Association, and what significance does it hold, as he is currently looking at the website of the said association and looked at the list of pro heroes there, where he saw Saitama and Genos' profiles, and even saw the other pro heroes there.
Endeavor is considering in taking his son's word for it and pondered if he should check more about the Hero Association. By then All Might passed by and saw the website, expressing slight surprise at seeing the site involving Hero Association, and after seeing the profiles of the pro heroes there, he said that their methods are different from the ones that UA and other hero schools have, as well as how pro heroes here operate.
He then asked Endeavor why is he researching on that, and Endeavor nearly spills the bean, but managed to hold on, not wanting to reveal that his son is currently there doing an undercover work, and told All Might that he is just curious, saying that he heard it from Saitama and Genos, and that he only wanted to see what this Heroes Association is like.
"That's all, Endeavor…?"
"Yeah…something like that…"
"Hmm…their method of hiring pro heroes are different from ours…"
"And I'm quite surprised that I never heard of it until recently."
"What would you do, Endeavor, if your son decided to try out this Heroes Association…"
"I doubt it, All Might."
"Just a thought."
"Whatever."
All Might rubbed his chin and said that he did a research of his own about Heroes Association and said that he finds it quite…shady. This piqued Endeavor's attention and asked him what he meant by that, and All Might said that according to his research and info from a reliable source, the pro heroes working at Heroes Association are classified by ranking, and that some of the heroes are well-known, while others, minor ones, were somewhat ignored.
Endavor stared in a rather serious manner and asked if All Might is sure, which the #1 hero said that what he said right now is based on what he found out so far.
"Are you serious, All Might?"
"Huh?"
"There are pro heroes who are not well-known…? As in being underappreciated?"
"Well…that's what I heard from a reliable source…"
"I can't believe what I'm hearing…"
"That's why we're fortunate that we became pro heroes because of UA High School…"
"…"
"Endeavor…?"
Eraser Head is seen eavesdropping, and he too did a research on Heroes Association, and he finds it quite shady as well, as he learned about how it started and how they are hiring aspiring heroes into becoming pro heroes, whether the applicants having powers or not, and he felt relieved that none of the UA students, current and graduated, ended up there.
"Heroes Association, huh?"

The scene shifts at the gate of Heroes Association, where the disguised Shoto Todoroki is about to enter the premises in order to commence his undercover work, but then some applicants began mocking the newcomer due to his height, deducing that he is a teenager and began mocking him for being underage and told him to do porn movies as AV idols are becoming a trend for boys and girls his age.
"Hey, kid…"
"You ought to back out. No kids allowed."
"You should be a porn star instead."
"Yeah, that's the trend these days."
"Yeah…AV idols are preferable to teenagers like you!"
"Maybe your dick would be this small…"
"Yeah, or maybe you're not circumcised…"
"Ha-ha-ha!"
Shoto ignored them, but the two bullying applicants persisted to insult him and they went as far as saying that his mother would be proud if Shoto were to become an online porn sensation and urged him to do a sex act in front of her, and this caused Shoto to mentally get agitated for insulting his mother.
But Shoto tried to hold on and not let their mocking get to him, but then they made a fatal mistake by saying that Shoto should have sex with his mother and post it online, saying that it would make a good fetish for the porn sites all over Japan.
"Hey, kid…"
"You ought to make a video about and your mom doing porn acts!."
"Yeah! It'll be a hit! You should be a porn star instead, with your mom's blessing!."
"Yeah, that's the trend these days."
"Yeah…AV idols are preferable to teenagers like you! And your mom would be the perfect porn partner"
"Maybe your dick would be this small…wonder if it would enter her YOU KNOW WHAT…"
"Yeah, or maybe you're not circumcised…"
"Ha-ha-ha!"
Shoto glared at the two applicants and uses his ice Quirk to froze their throats, and the two applicants panicked as they are having difficulty in breathing and are freezing by their necks, and they ran around before leaving the area, screaming for help.
The other applicants saw this and are amazed, and intimidated by what Shoto saw, and they whispered among themselves, saying that those two applicants shouldn't have done that, but others said those two men got what they deserved for insulting one's parent.
"Whoa…did you see that?"
"That kid's got power…"
"Those two idiots…they shouldn't have done that…"
"Serves them right…they shouldn't have insulted his mother like that…"
"You think he would pass?"
"It's a 50/50 thing…"
"His ice powers came in handy…he put those two idiots in their places.."
"Now they know where to draw the line and not insult one's mother…"
By then the usher came out and told all applicants to come inside, as the exams, physical and written, will commence shortly, and the applicants went inside, with Shoto being the last to enter.
As Shoto entered, he saw many applicants who are eager to show off their powers, and he can hear them bragging that they can make it to A-Class status, while others mocked the other applicants, saying that they would end up in C-Class, the WEAKEST of the bunch, which the others resented and proclaimed that they will become A or S-Class in no time.
"What was that?"
"Are you looking down on us?"
"We'll show you!"
"Yeah!"
"We'll end up in S-Class! Just you wait!"
"We're not weak! We won't end up in C-Class!"
"You're gonna regret those words!"
"Bring it on, you weaklings!"
Shoto's curiosity is piqued, and he asked one of the applicants about this ranking and class, and there he is told about what he knows so far, saying that those who passed the physical and written exams but scored a passing score end up in C-Class, where the pro hero has one week to do hero activities within a week, and if no results is presented within the week, he/she will be expelled from the Hero Association and lose his/her income.
Shoto raised an eyebrow, as he finds this rule somewhat unfair, and there he is also told that those who are sorted from B-Class, the pro hero won't have to worry about anything but then is told about A-Class or S-Class, which the pro hero in that category gets a lot of perks, and tells the disguised Shoto that he would be lucky if he gets to those high-tier category if he scored higher on the two exams.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So C-Class is…"
"The weaker bunch…but if you managed to work hard, you could climb the rankings and get into B-Class or higher…you'll get higher salary and perks…"
"Hmm…"
"Hope you're prepared, kid. Most of the applicants here are already 20 and above…but there's a youngster here who's nineteen and is currently in S-Class…the rest aren't so lucky. Those who end up at C-Class struggled to do hero work every week…while B-Class and above have it easy…"
"…"
"Well…that's all I know. So prepare yourself."
Shoto clenched his fists, as he finds the info he gained somewhat discriminating, and yet he is driven to see how the Heroes Association work, and he watches the applicants show off their powers via physical exams, and noted that some are exception and others average at best, which are somewhat similar to the ones he got from UA Academy, and he wondered if he should tell his dad or his classmates about what he discovered so far.
Soon it was his turn and he began to show off his powers, mostly his cryokinesis, as he has a feeling that he might be recognized if he shows off his fire side and opted to play safe for now. Observers saw this and noted that the disguised Shoto may have potential and they are betting with one another on whether he ends up on either A-Class or S-Class.
"Look at that…"
"His powers looked cool enough."
"Ice powers."
"Think he should go to A-Class?"
"Maybe S-Class…"
"I say B-Class. Ice powers are generic in today's standards…"
"Let Amai Mask decide which ranking that kid gets…"
"Right."

At the dojo on top of a mountain, the scene shows that Silver Fang is showing off his martial arts technique, and both Izuku and Bakugo stared in curiosity, seeing how the martial arts move is shown and how it is executed, and there Silver Fang invited the two younger teens to try them out, saying that they are probably fast learners and can master the technique in no time.
"Fist of Flowing Water, Crushed Rock."
"…"
"…"
"It goes something like that. Want to try? You two boys look like quick learners."
"Looks good…it might help in having an alternative move besides Full Cowling."
"Hmph. Looks lame to me."
"Give it a try, boys. I bet you'll get the hang of it in no time."
"Sure. I'll give it a try. What about you, Ka-chan?"
"I'll think about it."
Saitama and Genos saw it as well, and Silver Fang asked the two grown-ups if they too want to give it a try, and Saitama declined as he finds it unimpressed, and asked Genos if he wants to try it, and the cyborg said he too will pass, reasoning that he seeks the art of offensive power and not self-defense type of technique.
Bakugo is peeved at hearing this and tells Silver Fang to teach him the technique so he can teach Saitama a lesson for being such a braggart, but Silver Fang told Bakugo that Saitama is MANY TIMES stronger than him, surprising Izuku, and asked the elderly pro hero if he is serious about what he said just now.
"Yes. Saitama-kun is many times stronger than me."
"No way…"
"Many times stronger? How stronger is that baldy-freak?"
"Well…you could say as strong as Son Goku…let's say…Super Saiyan-type of strong…"
"EH? ARE YOU SERIOUS, OLD MAN?"
"Yes. I saw it myself. He even took out a meteor several months ago."
"No way…THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"…"
Bakugo himself could not believe what he just heard and said that if he learns the technique, he can beat Saitama, though Silver Fang tells Bakugo that it will not be easy in defeating Saitama, and urged the blond-haired boy to concentrate in learning the technique to save people and defeat villains, which Bakugo silently whined, as Silver Fang's lecturing is somewhat similar to Best Jeanist.
Izuku then said that he is willing to learn the technique as he wants to save people and become the best hero, which the elderly pro hero is somewhat impressed at the boy's heroic enthusiasm.
"Hmm…you sure have a spirited outlook, boy."
"Well…"
"I suppose you could be the ideal pupil I've been looking for in such a long time."
"Um…I'm not really."
"You don't have to be overly-humble. I'll teach you the most effective techniques so you can be an effective hero."
"Okay."
"You and Bakugo-kun will have a weekend sessions with me in this dojo. I will teach you everything I know. Be patient and you will get what you need to learn. Understand?"
"Yes, sir."

At Heroes Association, the disguised Shoto has just finished the physical exams, and so far he has impressed the observers and now he is undergoing the written exams, which he answered them diligently and finished it soon.
While awaiting the results, the higher executives are debating on what to do, as they felt that Shoto does have potential, and their opinions are divided, as some felt that having a teenager becoming a pro hero would make the Heroes Association look like a joke, feeling that his ice powers is too generic, yet others said that it is strong enough to warrant him to be based in A-Class. One even said that he might be on par with S-Class given that Genos is on that class even though he is 19-years old.
"What? Are you saying he should be put in S-Class?"
"Baloney! His ice powers are too common nowadays!"
"I say he should be on B-Class!"
"Perhaps A-class would be a wise idea. After all, that boy's ice powers can freeze any villain with ease."
"Let Amai Mask have the final say. He knows what's best."
"Yes…Amai Mask. He's part of the selection committee…"
"I wouldn't put too much hope…I'm sure Amai Mask would put him on the bottom of B-Class…"
"Indeed…"
