Chapter 11: Results
I feel fine. Honest."
Izuku sat in a wooden chair in Recovery Girl's office just after completing the entrance exam. Oh well, his attempt, he did pretty well, but there was a penalty for taking the zero-pointer, causing him to lose all his points.
"Nonsense. Unless you somehow got a medical degree and got your hero license to in the past 5 minutes, then you will listen to the actual medical professional. Now we just have to wait for Edward."
"Edward?"
"Oh, Nezu decided to hire some new staff for some reason his pretty hush, hush about it Edward--uh I mean White is my new assistant."
"Edward... White? That name sounds familiar."
As the door flew open a man of American descent, he had glasses and a whole lot of keys around his waist, and Midoriya widened."P-Principle White?!"
"Hello, Midoriya, it's been a while. Young man." The man began to give the boy a bow."I see you have grown so much. Last time I saw you were this small."
Midoriya seemed to smile seeing the old man before."I was in elementary school back then."
"Huh? Look at you know making the way to U.A."
"Principle White was so nice to meet in elementary school he even punished students for trying to bully him, Kacchan never liked him, especially every time he called me Deku, and he got detention. Though the vice principal felt like we shouldn't punish Kacchan, an obvious hero in the making but he had none of it." He had a smile from the memories.
"What are you doing here and as a nurse?"
"Well, Nezu is an old friend, and he asked to come back, plus I get to see Chiyo again."
"Chiyo?"
Recovery Girl smiled before. "His quirk complimented my own."
"It does?"
White places a hand on his shoulder, a sudden wave of energy, his stamina begins to return, "Woah, I see! When you heal someone, the stamina greatly depends, but you can bring it back, and she can heal as much as possible! Woah, you two are like the ultimate power couple!"
"Thank you," They both said.
"So am I free to go?"
"Ed may have given some stamina back, but I recommend you stay. You must still be exhausted. Just give me a few minutes, and"
Knock*Knock*
The door to the office suddenly flew open as Present Mic stepped in."What's up Recovery Girl? Oh! A d transforming kid! Sorry, but we got another one!"
"Transforming kid?" A familiar voice came from outside, a familiar feminine voice, the boy brightened up. As she walked in with a small smile.
"Jirou!"
"Hey, Midoriya."
Midoriya immediately noticed that one of her iconic earlobes was bruised and bleeding.
"Oh, what happened, deary?"
She twirled her good jack around her finger and responded, "I stuck my jack in one of the bots, but I couldn't get it out. When it fell down, it landed on my jack."
"Oh, you poor thing," Her lips stretched to the girl before placing a kiss on her cheek. A green aura enveloped her, and her earlobe visibly healed.
"Oh, thank you." The girl gave a small bow.
"Of course, you're both free to go,"
Midoriya nodded, grabbed his backpack, and began to leave with the earphone jack. Recovery Girl, however, looked over some of the tests she did on Midoriya."Hmm. I should warn All Might and the boy, but I can't confirm it."
"It's been a while, green bean."
"Yeah, oh, and thanks by the way for standing up for me."
"Don't worry, the stick in the mud needed to be put in place,"
"Yeah, and assuming the fact you took the entrance exam means you finally told your parents you wanted to be a hero?"
The girl gave a small smile. "Yeah, and you were right." Before giving him a brighter smile that nearly blinded the boy. "And they support me! I can never thank you enough."
"I-I didn't do much, but I know you're getting in."
"Yeah, Hope I'll see you in class."
Midoriya flinched before realizing he totally bombed the practical test. The girl could hear his sudden heartbeat race and his slumped shoulder.
"Whoa, what's the matter you looked like you failed?"The girl said with a chuckle.
The boy turned away from the girl, which caused the girl to widen."W-Wait, you failed how?!"
"I-I fought the zero pointer."
Girl widened."Why would you fight the zero pointer?! You do realize it gets you no points, and leaves you with 0 points?! "
"Some of the examinees were trapped in some rubble and... and I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, so without thinking, I took it on."
"Whoa, whoa, so you gave up your dream school just to help people you don't even know?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"And you still think you failed?"
"You heard present mic--"
"Midoriya, you chose to save people even though you don't benefit a thing from it. If that's not a true hero, then I don't know what is. "
Midoriya smiled a little."Y-Yeah. Th-Thanks. I feel a little better. A little. "
The girl could see he was still feeling down.
"You know what? I'm sure you passed!" The girl said suddenly.
"Huh? But the zero -"
"Fuck the zero pointers I know you passed that just a fact, I J-just know it. Plus I have a feeling a year with you is going to be interesting or life threatening."
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
"Well, every time I see I just happen to be in some mortal danger."
Midoriya recalled all the times he met Jirou before blushing and realizing every time she'd seen him she'd been in some form of danger. "Aaah!! I'm so sorry!"
"Pfft! Dude relax, I'm only joking. But maybe we can hang out after we get our results okay?"
He nodded. As she was about to leave before she remembered something that had been kicking her in the foot for a month.
"Oh, and give me your phone real quick!"
"My...phone?"
He questioned before handing the device to the girl. The girl typed something into his phone before she shoved the device back into his hands.
She left before giving a small wave to the greenate, which he returned in kind.
Midoriya looked at the phone before a small blush crept on his phone."Her phone number? I got another girl's number!! I need to text her immediately! Wait, no! That's too creepy. Should I wait three days? Ah, man, why are girls so complicated?! Maybe there's a manual on this?"
A few hours later, he was heading home when...
"Dekiru!!"
A panting Uraraka came running towards him, huffing and breathing heavily.
"Uraraka?"
"I'm sorry! Because of me, you... You..."
"It's fine it's not your fault and saved me when I fell, so thanks."
"B-But Dekiru. I... I'm terrible... I.. "
"Uraraka, it's okay, and I don't blame you. You needed help. I would have done it regardless."
"I'm sorry I tried giving you my points--"
"Uraraka, are you crazy?! You can't give me your points!!" The boy yelled to the girl's surprise. He grabbed her by the shoulder.
"Are you forgetting why you became a hero to help your parents don't risk that!"
"Dekiru..."
"Look I may have failed but you passed, and it's not the end of the world for me, I can go for the general course and make it to the hero course I will not give up! I will never give up! I can do it! I will make it to the hero course so don't you dare give up your dream for me! "
The girl's heartbeat suddenly beat incredibly fast, as the words of Aoyama replayed in her mind. She visibly trembles from the close contact with the boy before grabbing his arms and putting them down.
" Your amazing Dekiru. But at least I can do something...
" You don't have to. It's alright." He clutched the straps of his backpack and began to leave when.
"Izuku..." She said before placing her hands on his shoulders, standing on her tiptoes leaning forward she had closed her eyes and didn't see the greenate turn to her. She was more than a little surprised when, instead of kissing his cheek, she found his lips.
Midoriya's eyes widened as her lips met his. A few seconds of the kiss went by as he separated. With a massive blush, she 2qw unable to look him in the eyes."Thanks for being my hero. Now I-I-I gotta GOOO!! " She said in a whisper before sprinting away from the boy who was blushing.
"I -I-I kissed a girl. That wasn't my mom!! Okay, that sounds really pathetic now that I say that out loud. Sure, she meant to kiss me on the cheek, but... she probably was just trying to thank me for saving her. I mean She doesn't feel that way... yeah, I mean, what's the to like anyway? Yeah, she is just a good friend. Izuku can't be thinking like that. "
With Uraraka, she had her hands on her cheeks running and blushing. "I just meant to kiss him on the cheek! You idiot you took my first kiss! I-I-I'm supposed to do it with someone I like... No, no, nono, I don't have a crush on him, I don't have a crush on Dekiru, I don't have a crush on him, and I don't have a crush! Nope, he's just a friend!! Just a friend! That's all! Nothing more! "
She blushed even more as she said it her mind screamed I can't have a crush, but her heart disagreed." This point was proven that every time she thought about him, her beat quickened.
A week later and Izuku was still a ball of nerves trying to get over the pit in his stomach. He'd recovered from his broken limbs, but his failure at the exam still hurt. Even at dinner, he stared at the fish on his plate for so long that his mother started to freak out a little. He ate a little, but he just didn't have much of an appetite.
As he sat on the couch that evening, curling a dumbbell in one hand half-consciously. Day after day, he had replayed the test in his head.
If I had to guess, I think I did pretty well on the written exam, Izuku thought to himself. But with just a single point on the practical exam, that grade won't matter at all. Even All Might hasn't gotten in touch with me since then... he's probably embarrassed by how badly I screwed up after spending so much of his time training me. God, I should just give One for All back to him...can I do that?
"...The results from your test should be in today or tomorrow, right?" Izuku's mother, Inko, tried to start a conversation with him. She was as nervous as he was.
"I guess," he mumbled.
"Even if you don't pass, I still think it's amazing that you tried! A lot of people wouldn't have had the courage to do that, you know?"
"Yeah," Izuku sighed. He hadn't told his mother about All Might. He'd promised the man, after all, not to say a word about his true identity to anyone.
"I-I-I-Izuku!"
He jumped and spun around as Inko came running into the living room from the front door, holding a single envelope in her hands. The pit in Izuku's stomach turned into a terrible black hole as he saw the U.A. stamp on it.
"It's here!" Inko exclaimed, nervousness all over her face. Her son looked absolutely despondent.
Izuku took the envelope and retreated into his room, placing it on his desk. He could hear Inko pacing back and forth outside the door, and it did absolutely nothing to help his own nerves. He spent a good fifteen minutes just staring at the envelope before he grabbed it harshly and ripped the thing open. Instead of a letter, a small metal disk clattered onto the desk.
"I AM HERE AS A PROJECTION!"
He yelped as a video of All Might was projected onto the wall behind his desk from the metal disk. Izuku glanced back and forth from the disk to the projection in confusion for a few seconds. "Wh-what the- All Might?! Wait- this is from U.A., right? Huh?"
"Sorry, kiddo! I had a lot of work to do so I couldn't get in touch with you!" The projection of All Might took a bow. "But it's all good! We'll be seeing more of each other since I'll be starting a teaching job at U.A.!"
He looked like he was about to say something else that would drop further bombshells on Izuku's already strained brain, but the hero was distracted by someone out of frame. "What? Speed it up? I've gotta tell him a few things, though...it's gonna push everything else back? How many more of these do I have to do again? Jeez, alright, I got it!"
All Might cleared his throat and said the words that made every cell in Izuku's body feel like it weighed a ton. "You passed the written exam with flying colors, Now let's get to your villain points!! HAHAHA!! Our fine judges watched all your clones and calculated your points with an overwhelming villain points of 450 VILLAIN POINTS!!
Midoriya widened, he knew he got a lot of points but this...this was crazy. Before realizing he lost all those points.
"However you fought the zero-pointers causing you to lose all your points...
Midoriya was on the verge of tears all that work, effort...
" Is what I would say if the whole thing wasn't a logical ruse!"
" Huh? "
" That's right! We were never going to deduct points but we did give you an opportunity...
Izuku blinked in confusion. All Might gestured to a video screen behind him. "Observe, young man!"
With a click of a button from All Might, the side screen suddenly expanded to fill up a quarter of the projection.
Within the screen, Ochako, Tenya, a girl with frog features and Itsuka all entered what seemed to be a teacher's lounge.
"Wait what are they doing here? "Before remembering Uraraka wanted to give him her points. He widening.
"Um... Excuse me" Said Uraraka as soon as they were all standing in front of present Mic.
"These four came straight to the staff room. Why did they come? Well, let's find out!"
"Umm, do you remember the curly-haired boy with freckles?"
"Kinda plain looking? Had a strange device I think it was a support item."
"Indeed we want to talk about the student who was wearing a green tracksuit. and took on the 0-point faux villain at Battle site B!!" Declared Iida his right arm moving in a chopping motion.
"If It helps his name is Izuku Midoriya." Piped in Itsuka.
"Yeah, him." Continued Ochako adopting a fierce expression on her face before she continued, "Would it be possible to give him my points!?"
Izuku blinked in shock and awe at what his friend was doing for him."Dekiru was the strongest I know he earned a lot of points! He had the highest chance of getting in! Yet he willingly threw his points to save some people he didn't even know! He saved my life!"
It was here when Iida spoke up. "Take my points as well! Don't take all of hers, take some of mine to supplement it! I had the power to save them and maybe prevent him from losing all those points and his chances of getting in! Yet not only was he able to do something, but he also did it without hesitation! My own cowardice cost him his chance, something I cannot live with!!"
Midoriya was on the verge of tears, as memories from the past. replayed in his mind.
"You'll never be able to hang with the best for the best like me!!"
The frog girl spoke up."Honestly, I knew the teachers wouldn't let the students get hurt but regardless of that fact he took on the 0-pointer he knew the consequences, but he chose to save everyone I-I have never met someone so admirable! Please give him some of my points!"
"There was absolutely no reason for you to run like that!"
"He saved us!"
"He had nothing to gain!"
"He worked so hard to gain those points!"
Midoriya was moved, hell present Mic right there wanted to say it was a logical ruse he didn't lose any points! But he controlled himself. "And you?"
"Midoriya for the short time I have known him, his been selfless," She sighed but smiling."Despite the fact it could get him hurt, there is someone else who can help, he works hard, he's determined and I'm sure he would feel so guilty if he got in and it cost you 3 of your chances! But if we split among the four of us then he gets in!"
Seeing Itsuka also bow, Present Mic smiled at the sight of all three.
The video stopped.
"How could a Hero Course reject someone who is committed to saving others, no matter the consequences to himself? After all, that is what makes a hero. And that's what my alma mater is all about, training those who would risk their lives for the greater good. So we have rescue points! For your selfless actions, our panel of judges have awarded you a whopping 150 rescue points! The highest number of rescue points in the history of the school!
Midoriya widened the tears began to form.
"IZUKU MIDORIYA! WITH AN OUTSTANDING POINT 450 VILLAIN POINTS AND 150 RESCUE POINTS!! BREAKING MY RECORD, NO TEXAS SMASHING MY RECORD!!! 600 POINTS!! WITH THAT YOU HAVE REACHE THE TOP SPOT!!
Midoriya began to cry, tears shedding, almost flooding his home.
[Bakugou Residence.]
"What the hell is this?" Bakugou said, looking at the number one spot with so much anger confusion, and rage that explosions were crackling around his palm.
1. Izuku Midoriya[600 points] 450 Villain Points and 150 Rescue Points NEW RECORD!!
Bakugou was livid, and Mitsuki and Masuru were both shocked by the leaderboard.
"Inko's kid got the top spot?"
"And those point values, so many? And new record?"
"Second place?! I'm in second?! That fuckin nerd is number one he-he must have cheated!! How can a quirkless--" Before remembering something. Yubi said something about Deku having a quirk his red widened.
"Maybe this will teach some humility," Mitsuki said.
Bakugou, however, wasn't having it. "No way in hell that worthless nerd passed, let alone beat me!! He must have cheated!"
Mitsuki raised an eyebrow."You think the most prestigious school wouldn't get catch something like cheating?"
"Th-Then must have bribed the judges!!"
"Inko doesn't have the money to bribe someone like UA," Masura said seeing his son so angry.
"But his quirkless no way he got so many points!!"
Both Masura and Mitsuki looked confused."Didn't Izuku tell you?"
"Tell me what?" He said with an angry tone.
"I know you two aren't friends anymore but I atleast you would've known?"
"Yeah, when Inko told us we couldn't believe it but when we saw it ourselves we couldn't deny it especially when we caught him training in his room training," Mitsuki said.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT?!"
"WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE BRAT!!"
"SHUT UP HAG!!"
Masura tried to calm both of them down. Before sighing."Apparently, Izuku has a quirk."
The boy widened before scowling."Bulletshit. Quirks appear at four!"
"He's a late bloomer, I guess."
Bakugou, instead of arguing, walked out of his house wanting some answers he immediately headed to the Midoriya's.
Mitsuki immediately stopped him,
"It's late now! Get back in here and let them have a moment of celebration!! Don't ruin their day because you got second. You are not entitled to an explanation. Now get in now! If you want one, get it later or tomorrow. "
Before the women drag back to the house. He struggled threatening to explode the old hag.
[Day later]
Izuku was relaxing in his room, a happy smile on his face as he relished the fact he made it into UA. And from the leaderboard, Uraraka, Kendo, Jirou, and Pony all managed to get in, and Iida got in as well he wanted to thank him but he had no way of contacting him.
"All those months of hard work, and all the time I spent studying, figuring out the Omnitrix, his aliens, paid off. And to think he beat All Might's record, hope he isn't mad about that."
As then a voice could be heard, something making a lot of noise."WHERE IS HE?! WHERE IS THE INSIGNIFICANT, HIGH SCORE STEALING SON OF A BITCH PEBBLE STONE!!"
Midoriya stepped out of his home to see something that brought dread upon him seeing Bakugou whose red eye said I'm going to kill you.
"DEKU!! HOW THE FUC-"
Midoriya slammed the door, locked and began dialling a number.
{Uraraka: Hello?}
"Uraraka are busy today?"
{Uraraka: Dekiru? Congrats, I saw your score and--wait. Why are you whispering?}
"DEKU!! GET OUT HERE AND GIVE ME AND EXPLANATION!!"
"Look, I don't want to deal with him. Do you mind if I hang out with you?"
{Uraraka: Uh, sure, whoever he is sounds angry. I'm with Kendo right now.}
"IF YOU DON'T STEP OUT I'M GONNA BLOW UP THE DOOR!"
{Uraraka: How are you gonna escape?}
"Don't worry, I have a plan. Bye, and thank you so much!"
He hung up before going for the Omnitrix, he stopped on the silhouette of Ghostfreak he slammed it down, Bakugou could see a green light shining through the floor, He suddenly felt cold. Ghostfreak was invisible as Bakugou
"Sorry, Kaccahan, but..."
"I..."
Sudden anger and bloodlust coursed through his body his eye turned purple, and he moved to Bkaugou's throat. A sharp claw threatened to slice his throat before coming to his senses.
He flew away, wondering what the hell was that, Bakugou felt the cold presence. Before sitting on the floor."IF YOU THINK, I'LL JUST GO AWAY! YOU'RE DEAD WRONG!!"
"Katsuki?"
Bakugou turned to see Inko she opened the door, but to his surprise, the nerd wasn't there he managed to escape him. The boy could only scream, he didn't know what to do with the anger and rage he had for being second to fucking Deku no less.
A few hours later.
"Thanks, guys."
"No problem, so why are you hiding from this.. this Kacchan?" Uraraka asked
Midoriya flinched back, "I-I just don't want to deal with him, he's must be furious that I got first place."
"Wait, that's why he's coming for you cause you beat him?"
"Well, he doesn't like to lose--"
"Yeah, but that's not your problem if he lost he lost,"Kendo said, not liking this Kacchan."This..Kaccah?"
"Y-Yeah, his real name is Katsuki Bakugou Kacchan, is what I call him, I don't know. I-I just got used to it."Izuku said.
"Right, you can't let this asshole walk over you. You need to stand up to him!" Itsuka said firmly.
"R-Right," He said with a sad tone. As they all headed to eat some food at the usual place when...
"You're going to have to stand up to him. Eventually, this guy sounds like a bully," Kendo said but speak of the devil...
"Deku..."
Everyone stopped immediately. Midoriya flinched from the voice as he heard footsteps as he was roughly shoved to the wall, to the surprise and anger of Kendo and Uraraka.
" K-Kacchan?! "
" How'd you do it? "He growled out in anger.
"E-excuse me? "
" I said... HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET IN!? HOW THE HELL DID YOU! YOU OUT OF ALL PEOPLE BEAT ME LET ALONE ALL MIGHT RECORD HOW THE HELL DID YOU CHEAT"
Uraraka tried to step in when Kendo raised a hand to stop him and cracked his knuckles. Before Bakugou could continue he was punched in the face
"You bitch! Do you know who I am?!"
"Yeah, an over-arrogant asshole who can't accept the fact he got second place, instead of I don't know taking the loss like a man accuses someone of cheating!
Bakugou was livid he blamed everything on this nerd, he hated when people stood up for this worthless, useless nerd.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP NO WAY THIS LOSER GOT THAT MANY POINTS--"
"That's enough!
" I don't care what you say, or what you think. I applied because I have people who believe in me! And I don't have to explain myself! I earned my spot, not you or anyone can't say I didn't! Like it or not I'm going to UA!
Both girls smiled before Kendo grabbed his arm and walked away from the blonde who was about to attack when a pro showed up to break up the ruckus.
"I'm going to kill you!" He stomped away in anger.
The whole day the girls tried to ask about their history but the boy was surprisingly reluctant and tried to change their subject.
"All Might!" Izuku yelled as he touched down on Dagobah's newly cleaned beach.
Blood spewed from between Toshinori's teeth, "Who's that?!" Immediately, a couple who had decided to come to view the waves underneath a large beach canopy started freaking out about his Hero form, "Repeat after me: Just my eyes playing tricks!"
Izuku had also stiffened up and yelled out, "Sorry, it was just a mirage!"
They both sighed in relief as the couple turned away, disappointed. Toshinori grinned and held his hand up for a high-five,
"Good job, kid. You performed extremely well! You even beat my old high score! Now that's going, plus Ultra!"
"I-I just tried my best! Honestly, I thought I failed."
"But you made me proud,"
Midoriya smiled before looking at the Omnitrix, as a wave of confidence washed over him.
"All Might..."A determined look but there was still some uncertainty." I-I'll try! I'll give 100% No! 110% I'll be a greater hero than you All Might! I know I'm aiming for the impossible but I-I-I'm going to try."
All Might could only smile."Young Midoriya do you want to know what my score was?"
"N-No, they said I broke your record but I'm not sure by how much."
"200 villain points and 100 rescue points"
Midoriya widened."Wait... I beat your score by 300?!"
"My score was considered impossible to beat, but you did it you think you won't be as great as me I wholeheartedly disagree and believe you will be greater than me! Give that same drive you had this whole year just to enter the school you will be a hero that the world has never seen before! "
Midoriya had tears forming.
"What did I say about crying!"
"Sorry! That was so motivational!!"
"Now, young Midoriya, I should stress this. Under no circumstance should you use One For All at 100% on your full body when in alien form."
"Huh?"
"During the exam, you were able to use one For All as Heatblast correct? You're coming into your powers but I stress restraint Young Midoriya. The repercussions would be dire. Not just for but the people around. For example, take Heatblast. You can already go Supernova mix with the power of One For All could be devastating."
"I... Okay."
"The power you hold there are no limitations. But with power like that, you must learn control! Train for your body to hold the strain of One For All!" Toshi said as he crushed the cans in his transformed hand and he turned into his Hero Form
"Then it's yours to command. You will have unrivalled power!" All Might said while Izuku looked at him in awe before getting serious.
"Hey, look. It is all might!" "No way. Where'd he come from?!" The same couple that was there on their date saw All Might in hero form as the #1 hero started to sweat ab it at his mistake
"Right, now we run!" All Might said as he ran away from the excited couple
"Y-Yes, sir!" Izuku said as he ran not too far from him
As the two ran, All Might looked over his shoulder to Izuku and started thinking.
"The torch I have passed on to you is but a small flame right now. But in time, it will be kindled until you wide a raging inferno! The more powerful you become, the more you'll outshine me. Eventually, I'll retire with my job complete. Whoo, deep stuff, all might."All Might thought as the two continued to run, but above them was a small red robot with one big red eye, watching them run before it took
...
