Daemon of Wrath: First of all, that's not morbid good news, just morbid news. Second, yes, Greed is inevitable. Third, Dark Shadow and Tokoyami are brothers of the shadow, of course, they would recognize them as everyone remains oblivious. Lastly, this version of Bakugou hates Izuku more than usual, to the point he has some sort of 'sixth sense' to recognize him. Besides, Izuku's hair remains the same even after the changes, so yeah. Also, forget Beru, Igris and Mamoru already put Bakugou into the 'no-kill, but maim' list.

ProjectIceman: Imagine All Might but with Yagi's hair. Yeah, that's what Yagi's 'skinny form' looks like, a slight hair change. And I doubt Bakugou listens to you, lol.

AnimeFan13579: Ah yes, Kuroiro, the fellow brothers of the shadow, will react similarly to Tokoyami and Dark Shadow. Izuku's Shadow will merely deflect Kuroiro's attempt to use his Quirk since remember, magic counters Quirk. Igris will be pleased with his lord gaining followers. Yes, there will be changes in the class roster, want to try to experiment with it more. As for Monoma, yes, he will experience ultimate humiliation.


UA High

Musutafu, Japan

"We're doomed! We're very much doomed!"

Izuku can't help but sweat drop at his best friends, who are busy sulking on the ground, curled up like a ball while hugging their legs and comically crying. Izuku sighs while Igris emerges his head from Izuku's shadow, staring at them in a deadpan manner before shaking his head helplessly.

"I've told you, my lord. These 'dumbasses' are lost causes. " Igris says in disappointment, causing the depressing aura to cover them entirely. Izuku sighs before slamming his fist onto Igris' head, which causes a loud ring in his ears. "M-my lord!? "

"First of all, I would be more appreciative if you stop calling my friends dumbasses. They don't understand you because you prefer long explanations over a summary. And it was the opposite for them, so letting you teach them is a recipe for disaster from the start." Izuku explains. "Second, Eijirou and Ochako have more trouble due to his jobs that require him to skip school so they can earn money for their family. So I would appreciate it if you would cut them some slack."

"I…see…. " Igris mutters before submerging into Izuku's shadow. Izuku sighs before pulling both of his friends up.

"Come on you two, I bet you two did great. So, stop sulking, and let's go to our next exam. Besides, given that we were scored based on our written and practical exam, if you believe you did badly at the written part, you can simply do better at the practical portion." Izuku says as they both comically tear up before pulling Izuku into a hug. Izuku laughs nervously while awkwardly patting their backs.

"Alright, enough crying. Let's crush the practical exam, okay?" They both nod in unison before they all walk towards the hall where a briefing about the practical portion of the exam will be held. On their way there, they encounter Mirio who's talking with his classmates, a boy with spiky indigo hair, and a girl with periwinkle hair. The three of them wear U.A. School Uniform. Mirio waves at them cheerfully while calling them.

"Kouhais!" Mirio exclaims happily before hugging the three of them. "I'm so glad you all are here taking the exam! How was the written portion!?"

"It was good." Izuku shrugs.

"IT WAS HELL!" Ochako and Eijirou say in unison, causing Izuku and Mirio to sweat drops as they weakly smile.

"I'm pretty sure it wasn't that bad," Mirio mutters.

"Mirio, you got 69% on your written exam. You have no right to say it." The indigo-haired boy mutters quietly, but it is loud enough for everyone to hear them. Izuku and his friends could hear it due to their enhanced senses as Awakeners. They can't help but snort at his words while Mirio splutters. As it happens, the girl takes her chance to start talking with Izuku and his friends.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you all! I'm Nejire Hado, and that boy is Tamaki Amajiki! We are the U.A.'s official Big Three! I've heard a lot from Mirio! A group of kids that easily surpass the strength of most pro heroes! I'm so glad that you guys helped Mirio with his internship, especially after the disaster with a certain hero! Tell me, how was your internship with Gang Orca!? Did you guys do patrol missions or just stuck in the office table and do paperwork? Oh, what kind of training did you all do?! How did you guys meet and become friends!? What did you guys do to gain Gang Orca's attention and offer you internships!? What's your quirk!? And-!?" The periwinkle-haired girl yelps as Mirio pulls her away from Izuku and his gang.

"Nejire, please. Breathe." Mirio says with a slight chuckle. "Also, please make sure your question doesn't involve sensitive topics. We don't want you to leave a bad impression on our kouhais and my saviors!" The last part earns blushes from the trio who start to splutter, with Mirio giving them an evil smirk, satisfied at his revenge for laughing at him.

"I-it's fine. For your questions in order, Hado-san: No problem, we merely did what a decent human being would do. Our internship was…..interesting. Yes, to both. We….really don't want to talk about that part. I met Eijirou when we did odd jobs together before the internship and saved him from trouble. As for Ochako, it was when she got her wallet stolen and I took it back for her. We can't tell you how we gain his attention, so you should ask him yourself. As for our quirks, you just wait for us in action during practical." Izuku answers all the questions flawlessly as they all gape in disbelief, except for Mirio, Ochako, and Eijirou who merely look indifferent as they get used to him.

Nejire stares at Izuku before a glint appears in her eyes as she rushes and pulls Izuku into a hug, burying his face into her well-developed chest. Izuku was caught off guard before steam erupted from his head as his face turned scarlet. Eijirou's jaw dropped at the scene as Ochako widened her eyes in horror. Tamaki sighed in disbelief as Mirio facepalmed.

"You answer all of my questions perfectly! You are mine! A bonus for being a handsome cutie! I'mma keep you!" Nejire says excitedly as Izuku's spluttering is muffled. Igris watches the scene in Izuku's shadow along with the rest of the Shadow Army giving their master a salute. While Kuro simply tilts his head in utter confusion along with Mamoru. Suddenly, Nejire yelped as she was pulled away gently by an invisible force, and Izuku let out a loud gasp after finally escaping from a sweet release of death as his face was still red.

"I-I'm flattered, but right now, my friends and I need to go before we're late for the briefing. S-See ya!" Izuku uses [Dominator's Touch] to carry his friends and rush off. Nejire lands on the ground safely while pouting, watching her new favorite Kouhai escape from her. Mirio simply lets out a huge laugh as Tamaki lets out a sigh, clearly so done with everything.


Auditorium

Izuku lets out a sigh of relief as he melts in his seat. Ochako merely pats Izuku's shoulder as Eijirou laughs at him. Izuku tiredly glared at his supposed best friend who continued to laugh at his misfortune.

"Will you stop laughing already…?" Izuku says tiredly as Eijirou wheezes.

"I-I can't….to think you attract a girl in such bizarre ways!" Eijirou laughs louder as Izuku groans. Ochako pulls out her staff and bonked Eijirou's head to shut him up.

"Oh, stop it! Let Izu have a break!" Ochako chastises Eijirou who grumbles.

"You only say that because you're so glad Izu-bro didn't fall for him and you still had a chance." Eijirou points out as Ochako turns into a blushing mess before she uses her staff and [Colossal Strength] to bonk Eijirou's head. Eijirou yelps in pain as he pushes Ochako away with his hands and tail. "Stop hitting me, ya crazy woman!"

"I'll show you 'crazy woman'!" Izuku sweat drops at the scene while trying and failing to ignore what Eijirou has just said about Ochako. Is he telling the truth or did he just say those to mess with him?

The Shadow Army who heard Izuku's thought process, can't help but facepalm hearing it. They saw how Ochako and Izuku looked at each other and acted towards each other. It was completely obvious, yet it seems that Izuku didn't notice it.

Then again, given his age, lack of knowledge regarding relationships thanks to his pasts, the unreliability of Eijirou in certain departments, and adults refusing to even teach him and expecting him to understand on his own doesn't help to provide knowledge for the boy. Igris silently curses himself for his lack of experience in that department and is unable to be the perfect teacher who teaches his master about it.

'I fail you, my lord! Oh, Master Ashborn, please answer my call and help me….help your successor to understand love! ' Igris prays as the knights under Igris' command silently think that none of them have any experience, so praying for his help is not going to help at all!

Meanwhile, Bakugou can be seen sitting a few seats away from them, silently glaring at Izuku who seems to notice him and choose to ignore him. He tightly gripped his fist as he clenched his teeth, his red eyes glaring holes at the back of Izuku's head. He also observes Deku's 'New Friends' and wonders what is so special about them to the point Gang Orca even offers an internship for them. All he sees is a pair of idiots goofing off without a care in the world. He tries and fails to hide the unsettling feelings he has whenever he looks at Deku, feeling like hundreds of eyes staring at him with pure hate every time he takes a peek at Deku. He scoffs silently at himself, thinking it is silly for him to feel unsettled towards Deku of all people.

He wasn't the only person who stared at Izuku. Tokoyami and Dark Shadow silently stare at Izuku while thinking about a plan. They have a chance to serve under the Dark Lord to 'atone for their sins of ignorance', planning the best way to join him without offending the Dark Lord and 'get their soul damned in the afterlife'. But so far, they have no idea of how to properly do it, nor do they have any idea that Igris notices them and is pleased that his lord has gained followers.

Speaking of followers, there's another figure in the auditorium who can't stop fidgeting nervously as he feels a crushing pressure emitted from Izuku, who is several feet away from him. The figure has pitch-black skin with white hair, wearing a school uniform. He is unable to stop looking at Izuku in fear and awe, the darkness the boy emits and the judging stares he feels from under the boy, more specifically his shadows. It wasn't like anything he had ever felt and he couldn't stop the fear crawling into his entire body.

Everyone stops what they all doing as the light in the auditorium is turned off and the light on the auditorium stage turns on. From the center, the podium emerges from the ground along with a man with blonde hair wearing sunglasses and leather outfits with a speaker around his neck. The man sports a wide grin as he looks at the crowd.

"HELL-O, children! The name's Present Mic and I welcome you to my special show, in UA! Can I get a 'Hey!' from any of you!?" The man says excitedly as he extends his arm wide, grinning while hoping he can get an answer.

"Hey!" To his shock and excitement, there are three of them. He looked up and saw Izuku and his friends. He silently lets out a tear of happiness and grins wider.

"Thank you, little listeners! You have made this old man happy! Now, without further ado, I shall give you all a quick rundown on the practical exam! I hope you all are ready! Because this isn't a simple exam! Will you all have what it takes to tackle the exam!?" Present Mic says with more excitement than before.

"Yeah!" The three of them replied again with a large grin, which made the man even happier.

"You three are my official favorite listeners! I root for you three!" Present Mic yells before clearing his throat. "Anyways, let's get the show running!"

As Present Mic talks, Izuku takes notes on all of the important details the man has said along the pamphlet he reads earlier.

1. The exam will be held in different Exam Sites and each student will be randomly placed on those sites.

2. They were given time limits to gather as many points as possible.

3. There are three types of robots that could earn points if destroyed. 1-Pointer, 2-Pointer, and 3-Pointer (Wish it has better names…)

4. There's the Zero Pointer, which acts as nothing but a distraction.

5. No sabotaging fellow examiners.

As Izuku takes notes, he shows them to his friends who merely nod with determination. The three of them didn't think this exam was hard since they all got used to speed-running the dungeons and cleared it in record time. It wasn't as much different as the usual runs. As they talk, they hear Present Mic call out a student and allow him to ask the question.

"On the printout, there are four types of villains but you merely mention three of them. With all due respect, sir, if this is a misprint from the official U.A. Material, then it is quite shameful! We are exemplary students and expect the best of Japan's most notable schools! A mistake like this won't do at all!" The boy with blue hair and glasses exclaims before he points at the Trinity. "And you three, cease your babbling! Your conversations have been nothing but a distraction for others! If you can't take the exam seriously-!"

The boy didn't finish his words as Izuku stared at him, leaving the entire room suffocated by the pressure emitted from Izuku alone. He narrows his eyes as the pressure increases, causing everyone to gasp for air. Bakugou widens his eyes in horror at the feeling while Tokoyami and the white-haired boy panic, silently begging to not smite them for a random boy's insolence.

"If….you bother to be patient, then you know, Present Mic hasn't finished explaining," Izuku says in an annoyed tone. "Also, we made sure to discuss as quietly as possible to prevent distracting anyone and plan for our exam. I haven't heard anyone calling us out for distracting, specifically those beside us, except for you, who sits a few feet away from us. Now, instead of calling other's mistakes, sit the fuck down, or the silver spoon shoved through your ass made it painful for you to seat?"

This causes the boy to splutter in shock while everyone laughs at him. Bakugou stares at Deku in utter disbelief, where did he get such confidence and what's with his choice of vocabulary!? That isn't the Deku he knows! Deku was supposed to be the meek little shit who was worth nothing, yet this Deku In front of him was like a completely different person. As for Tokoyami and the white-haired boy, they both sighed in relief and were glad that their lord didn't smite everyone for the boy's insolence.

"Alright, alright, settle down everyone! I was going to explain that! The Zero Pointers are nothing but distractions, and beating them won't give you any points. So my suggestion is to just ignore them and focus on getting more points!" Present Mic explains. "That is all from me for today's show! Now, let me give you a little present before I sign off, which is a sample of our school motto! As the old General Napoleon Bonaparte once said 'A true hero is the one who has overcome the life's misfortune!' Now, you are ready to go beyond! Let's hear it from everyone, Plus Ultra!"

"Plus Ultra!" This time, everyone's join in, giving the man more excitement.

"Alright! I hope you all practice more than just reading a book!" Izuku can't help but silently wince, reminding him of his past self. "And good luck suffering!"

"….wait, what!?"


Test Site B

"Huh, what luck…"

Izuku blinks as he looks at Ochako, who's trying so hard not to blush knowing she was with her crush on the same test site. Currently, Izuku is donning a black tight shirt, a pair of dark green pants, and a green/grey hoodie, along with his iconic red shoes. Ochako wears a white shirt with a light blue jacket and pink training trousers with a pair of black shoes. Izuku looks around before rubbing his chin.

"I guess we're not so lucky that the three of us got the same test site," Izuku says, which made Ochako a bit sad given that even till now, Izuku wishes Eijirou was with them. Then again, they know each other longer than she does with Izuku, so she brushes it off as a friend who prefers to stick together till the end. "But, I'm glad you're here. So, want to team up?"

"Of course!" Ochako answers immediately before several of her spirits pop up and cheer, holding the 'IzuOcha' banner and waving it wildly. This causes Ochako to frantically wave her hand to push them away from the view while Izuku, slightly blushing, chuckles nervously.

Meanwhile, the commotion was enough to gain several people's attention. One of them is a pink-haired and pink-skinned girl who watches their interaction and grins widely. She felt like she had gotten a jackpot. She hasn't even got to UA and she already got some tea to spill.

The other person is a boy with wild purple hair and a pair of eye bags that could rival Aizawa. He can't help but scowl at the interaction, believing that those two are just arrogant brats who give zero shits about the exam while busy doing a public display of affection. He silently wonders what kind of quirk they have to make them so confident of the exam.

The next person is the same blue-haired boy from earlier, who seems to frown at the interaction. He can't help but find them to be too distracting and seems like they didn't take the exam seriously. This exam isn't something they could underestimate given that it was the exam for entering the greatest hero school in the world.

"Do you think Eiji will be okay?" Izuku can't help but ask.

"Izu, he's the second strongest after you, you worry too much." Ochako can't help but feel exasperated towards her crush. Eijirou has displayed many times that he could handle everything people throw at him, so no one should worry about him.

"That's not the issue, Ocha. He was at the same site as my bully. I take a peek at his paper earlier." Izuku says as Ochako widens her eyes, finally understand why. It's not the exam, but the one participating in the exam.

"… He will be fine," Ochako says while holding Izuku's shoulder. "Like I said, he's the second strongest after you. I doubt mere trash talks will be enough to beat him."

"… You're right," Izuku says with a chuckle. "Oh, who am I kidding, I was being dumb."

"You're not dumb, you just care too much." Ochako points out as Izuku smiles. He holds her hand gently, causing her to blush.

"….Ocha, I know it's not the right time to ask, but let's go somewhere together after the exam, just the two of us. You can choose where to go." Izuku says as Ochako's brain short-circuits. Did Izuku, the dense motherfucker, just ask Ochako on a date!?

"Y-yeah!" Ochako answers without thinking. They ignore the silent squeal in the background and the glares given to them.

"Start!" Suddenly, the giant gate opens, which leads Izuku and Ochako to grin before they disappear in a blur. This action shocked everyone as they turned around to see Izuku and Ochako rush through the open gate, none of them were expecting such a display of speed.

'S-so fast! I've seen my brother go top speed for years, and I am barely able to see him. They disappear in a flash and my eyes can't keep up with them!?' The blue-haired boy thought in shock. Of all the things he expects from them, speed quirk isn't one of them.

'Shit! No wonder they weren't worried at all! Damn it, they have to get all the luck, do they!?' The purple-haired boy thought in disdain. He can't help but feel envy towards them.

'Oh, my! A power couple! I can't believe my luck, encountering a pair of powerhouse who's a couple in my test site!' The pink-haired girl thought gleefully.

Meanwhile, Izuku and Ochako rush towards the crowd of the robots. Izuku pulls out [Sky-Piercing War Fan] before swinging the weapon with all of his might, creating a towering tornado that sliced off the robots to pieces. Ochako uses [Flame of Courage] on the tornado to create a fire tornado instead, burns the robots into ashes.

"You know that once they got hit by my flames, the rest of the points go to mine?" Ochako says in a teasing tone. Izuku merely smirks a bit before he switches his weapon to [Blade of the Underworld] and unleashes a flying slash toward the horde of robots. Upon contact, the robot suddenly looks like it was sliced multiple times before it collapse. From the distance, they can see one flying slash turn into multiple slashes, shredding the robots like a ribbon. Ochako saw this and gape towards the damage.

"Oh I know, I just give you a proper head start," Izuku says as Ochako shakes off her shock before looking at Izuku.

"… Alright, I change my mind. I think let's split up here. The highest score gets to pay for the date?" Ochako asks as Izuku grins.

"Oh, you're on, Ocha!" They both grin before going on separate ways. As they run off, one thought crosses their mind.

'Date with Izu/Ocha!? Fuck yes!'


Meanwhile, with the others

"H-holy shit…" one of the examiners voiced out everyone's thoughts as they all nodded dumbly. What they have just witnessed is something straight out of a fantasy world.

"…W-well, at least they got disqualified right!? I mean, they just run off before the countdown starts." Before the examiners could sigh in relief at the possibility of those powerhouses getting disqualified, the speaker lit up.

"What are you all listeners doing!? There's no countdown at the battlefield! The moment the gate's open, you should rush off! Those two couples have the best idea!" This causes everyone to glare at the one who thinks the couple will get disqualified, causing him to shrink in fear. They all yelp when they hear a loud explosion before they realize the exam is still happening and run off in panic.

As they reach the center of the exam site, they pale as every robot they come across is destroyed by them. All they left in their path were nothing but destroyed parts of the robots. They all start to panic before splitting up, hoping they can scrape off the remaining points they have missed during their battle. This seems to be easier said than done as there are too many destroyed robots everywhere. So, they all decided to run towards the path where they hadn't touched yet.

"Leave some for us, you crazy couple!" The examiners yell in unison, tears comically falling from their eyes as they run towards any spotted robots. The pink-haired girl notices a robot shaking like a leave behind the building along with a group of other robots hugging together in fear. This causes her to sweatdrop, not expecting the robots to hide from the couple out of fear. But, this also grants her an opportunity as she sprays goop of acids on them, melting them instantly.

'This is the craziest and the weirdest exam I ever attended in my entire life! But, it's so worth it!'

To be continued
