Friendly Foreign Dimensional Exchange Student Spider-Man!: Academia
Letter of the Exam Results
The days of waiting for the U.A. Exam results were the longest in Izuku's life. Home alone sitting on the living room sofa, he couldn't ignore the reality. He clinched in the written part of the exam, but his performance at the Mock Battle test was terrible.
The green-haired boy then looks at a dumbbell that is on the floor between the table and sofa, this had been a small part of his ten months of arduous and painful training to become a better vessel for All Might's power. Disappointing his mother is one thing, but disappointing his heroic idol is the worst. How could he face him after all that hard work resulted in his failure in the exam? The teen-boy takes a breath then leaves his phone on the table and starts lifting the dumbbell, he can't give up just because of this failure.
Speaking of the Entrance Exam, the fact that he didn't do well wasn't the only shock from that day. It was also the place where he met that American boy who was the same hero that fought the giant shark man at Tatooin Train Station months ago. It made no sense that this foreigner was taking a senior high school entrance exam if he was already a Pro Hero.
Izuku then stops his dumbbell lifting, to realize something… maybe that boy isn't a Pro Hero. He puts down the dumbbell back to the floor, grabbing his phone. Searching on all the current Pro Heroes in the Kanto area, which includes the train station and where he lives, limiting to the list of debut pros that appeared since last year. Just as he thought, no hero had had the same looking costume as that American boy. He then checks the list of Pro Heroes in the United States, also limiting to newcomers that appeared the year before and searching states from the most Eastern and Western sides of the country. And like before, no results match.
So, if this westerner is not a Pro Hero in either country, then he may still be a student learning to become one? If that's the case, it could be possible that the boy decided to move to Japan to continue his studies, with U.A. being one of the hero schools to try to get into. But it made sense since, in some countries like the United States, laws when it comes to vigilantes are less strict compared to here in Japan. He probably had no idea of the difference in rules.
The Mustutafu police who brought in the young American may have decided to give him a pass with at least a severe warning.
"Wonder if I'll ever see that American again…" Izuku says to himself, doubtful.
Then suddenly the sound of a door is opened. His mum, Inko Midoriya, enters the living room to then fall to the ground. She's able to get up but is fidgeting. She holds a white envelope under her hand.
"A letter, Izuku! Look, you got a letter! They're here, it's your test results from U.A.!" she exclaims.
(x)
While his mother's now outside the door, walking around impatiently waiting to the know the results. Izuku's alone in his bedroom, sitting at the chair with his long lamp being the only source of light. He's hesitant in opening the letter, but finally gets the courage to hold it with both hands, and with a little mental preparation pulls the cover separating it in two. Coming out inside is a small handwritten note and what appears to be a tiny shaped circular object. It clicks as it lands on the desk.
"Booyah, I am here in a projection now!" announces a zoomed-in of All Might's projected face.
Surprised, Izuku immediately let's go of the split opened letter and grabs hold of the desk to not fall down to the floor.
"Wait, All Might?! But this is from U.A., why is he in this letter?!" The boy balks as he gets the chair back in place, definitely not expecting him of all people to appear.
"I know it's been a while, but with great power comes to a great amount of paperwork, but it's not because of my agency. The truth is, I didn't come to this city only to fight villains… you're looking at the newest U.A. faculty member!" he explains to the viewer.
"What, you're seriously going to be working at U.A.?" Izuku asks in disbelief.
If that's the case, then what could All Might be doing as a new employee in the school? The most likely position could be a teacher in the Hero Course. Then the image of All Might turns to look at something on his left side, presumably talking to someone outside the view of the camera.
"Huh? Yeah, what's the matter Nezu? Me showboating? Oh sorry, I'll wrap it up, but I have to show him something first. Wait, I have to do how many of these things?! Understood sir… Right, so, moving on!" All Might pauses to prepare what he will say while the teenage boy still looking stiffens a bit.
"Even though you passed the written test, you got zero combat points in the practical exam, sorry…" All Might explains.
Izuku reacts looking down in saddened defeat.
(x)
"You may have done quite well in the exam, but sadly you were only a few single points away from passing to the Hero Course, sorry cutie."
The seductive voice of the attractive female Pro Hero and U.A. teacher Midnight is heard in the brightly lit bedroom filled with posters and action figures of costumed or scantily clad fictional female characters, beautiful idols or Pro Heroines. The short boy was motionless or more precisely lifeless on the floor from hearing his test results. He felt his world crumbled into dust, his heart cut into pieces from the inside, or his dreams ripped to shreds by evil, good-looking men. He just needed a measly few points to pass the exam.
"So, while you're sadly not going to be attending the Hero Course cute little boy. The judges and the faculty have decided that since they see you have a quirk that is quite unique, your admission will be changed to the General Education Course." Explains Midnight from the projection.
Minoru Mineta wanted to be in the Hero Course so he can become a Pro Hero who is popular with the ladies, have many sexy female sidekicks, and one day is married to the hottest Pro Heroine out there. Not even the lustful voice of Midnight could cure Minoru of his deeply disheartened mind.
"We will send you a confirmation form if you decide to join us in the different course. Oh, and don't worry. If you show that your quirk has more potential than you have shown in the Entrance Exam, you will have the possibility of being moved to the Hero Course." Midnight continues, now talking seductively and licking her lips at the end.
With tears coming out of his eyes and gritting his teeth, Minoru had no other choice. If he wanted to accomplish his dream of becoming a successful playboy hero. The little purple-haired will have to take the hard option and go up from there. At least he will still be studying in U.A., he at least hopes there will be cute girls in his General Education one.
"Can't wait to see you at U.A. or good luck in your future studies, sweetie pie." Midnight finishes by blowing a romantic farewell kiss to the camera ending the projection.

"Fortunately, there were other factors..." All Might continues to speak, Izuku looks up again.
"But before we get to that, I have another surprise right here! Look, a short clip for your viewing pleasure!" All Might presses a button on a remote, pointing to the television screen behind to his right.
The screen with an image of the U.A. High School logo changes to recorded video footage of two teens who stood side by side, a brown-haired girl and a boy who looked at her who is clearly not Japanese, he immediately knew who it was.
"It's that nice girl and the American boy…" The green-haired boy says.
"They both came after the exam to talk about you." Says All Might, which Izuku reacts in confusion.
"What did they have to say? You have to stay tuned to find out." He exclaims as he plays the footage again this time the image changes to also have Present Mic appear in the video.
"Excuse me, but… that curly-haired boy, with the freckles… you know, the super plain-looking one?" she explains.
"He also had green hair and took out the Zero Pointer with one punch?" The boy added.
"They're describing me." He mutters to himself.
"I was hoping if we could give him some of our points?" The American says, which surprises the viewer, not expecting them to say that.
"Yeah, in the end, he was saying that he needed points. Just one point! That means he didn't get any points during the Exam, right? At least… Can we give him some of our points? I think I got in the twenties or something?" Ochako surmised.
"Yeah, and I lost count after thirty-five or so. got some points to spare, I would be more than happy to give him some." Says the boy waving a hand.
"Exactly, he saved my life!" Ochako declared, then the video pauses.
This freckled-teen couldn't help but stand up. These two were willing to sacrifice their own points so they can let himself pass as well, it's unbelievable!
"You have a quirk now, yes… but it's your actions that inspire others. And that's why I am here, you see the practical exam was not graded on combat alone." Then All Might presses the remote again to replay the footage.
"Well, I'm afraid we can't just take and give some points, dear listeners. But you two don't need to worry about a thing." Present Mic says with a snap.
"After all, what is a Hero Course that rejects those who save others? That's anything but a Hero Course." Then the footage stops again.
"Just as Present Mic said: 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 a part of what the U.A. is all about. Training those who would risk their lives for the greater good." Izuku began to be wide-eyed, this video was becoming less and less of a rejection letter.
"So, we have Rescue Points!" Then a flashed image of the word "rescue" in green capital letters on a black background is shown on the projection.
"A panel of judges watches, and they award points for heroic acts beyond just fighting villains." All Might continue to speak.
The screen flashed again to show a scoreboard in black and green with names of examinees ranked differently, where one of the names and the score made him bulge his eyes.
"To Midoriya Izuku, 60 Rescue Points!" Even though the teen had nothing in the Villain Point section, he was still eighth place according to the scoreboard.
The camera panned up to fourth place.
"To Uraraka Ochako, 45 Rescue Points!" The screen showed she has gotten twenty-eight Villain Points.
Then another flash showed the person who made it to first place.
"And Peter Parker, 70 Rescue Points!" The screen showed he has gotten sixty-nine Villain Points.
"All three of you passed the exam." Announces All Might behind the camera, then turning his face to see it.
Izuku could not believe what he was seeing, if this is a dream, he's hoping he will never ever wake up from it.
"Is… is this some kind of joke?" he asks.
"Welcome, Izuku Midoriya. You have made it… you're now part of the Hero Academia."
Tears form in his eyes.
"Thank you, All-Might… Thank you, U.A."
He wipes them off and gets up from his chair strolling to the bedroom door, he opens to see his mum is still waiting for him, looking in shock that he has finally come out of his room. The teen boy looks at her and only responds with a gentle smile. Inko also began to be teary-eyed in happiness for her son's success.
"Oh, my baby!" she shouts, hugging him tightly.
(x)
"Welcome, Yuga Aoyama. You are now officially a student of the U.A. High School." No. 13 says in the screen ending it with a bow.
Even though tears were dripping down his face, Yuma withholds his sobbing voice. He took a deep breath and said his words in French.
"Merci, merci, merci beaucoup mademoiselle!"

Tenya's not alone in the living room sofa, he and his family watched the projection with everyone having a smile on their faces.
"Ah yeah! That's right, Tenya Iida, you're going to U.A. High! Ow!" shouts Present Mic.
The boy in question gets up from his seat and makes a deeply angled bow to the projected image even though it is a prerecorded one.
"Thank you so much, Present Mic! I assure you, and to all in U.A., you will never regret the decision to accept me into your acclaimed high school!" He shouts.
His brother, Tensei Iida, also gets up and pats his little brother on the shoulder.
"Well done Tenya, I knew you could do it." He says, congratulating him.
"Thanks, big brother," Tenya responds to him.

Ochaco looked at the projection, resting on the bed and covering her mouth with her hand withholding the tears.
"Congratulations, Ochaco Uraraka, you will be attending U.A. High School." Says Cementoss happily.
"Wow, this is amazing. Not just me, but both boys have passed as well… this is going to be awesome." She says quietly.
(x)
"We look forward to your future with us in U.A. High School, Eijiro Kirishima." Says the projection of Snipe.
Eijiro grinning massively gets up from his computer chair, which falls to the floor and lifts both his fists up in the air.
"Yes, hahaha! Listen up everyone, the future manliest hero in the world is going to U.A.!" he shouts out loud.
(x)
Mezo sits on the ground with his back on the wall, hearing one of the faculty members from the projection coming from the disk.
"Well done, Mezo Shoji. Next spring, you will be attending U.A. High School." Says Ectoplasm.
Mezo responds with his mouth arms smirking in delight.

Pony is sitting at her bed, pressing her phone to her ear, waiting for someone to receive her call as she hears Vlad King finishing his announcement about her Entrance Exam results from the video projection. She couldn't stop smiling so much knowing the answer she is going to get.
"…and so, it is my pleasure to inform you, Pony Tsunotori, you are now a U.A. High School student!" he says with a thumbs up.
Pony reacts to the phone answered from the other line.
"Hey dad, is Ma there? Tell her to come downstairs right now. I have big news for you both!"
(x)
The first week of April finally arrived. Izuku, now dressed in the official student uniform, is running to get to his first day of school on time, not really wanting his new high school life to start with him arriving late.
"Class 1-A… 1-A… c'mon, where is it? Ah, there!" He says to himself. Noticing the little sign sticking out up on the wall. He arrived at the very tall doorway, with the class number covering the entire frame.
"The most promising students are waiting behind this door."
He began to think of the possible nineteen students that he will be with. The faces of Katsuki Bakugo and that glasses-wearing dark blue hair one came into mind, the history between those two was clearly not positive, but he shook his head, trying to forget them.
"Maybe we're in different classes, maybe everyone here is nice."
But right when the classroom door opens, the teen boy hears two voices he's very familiar with.
"Take that foot off your desk right now!" The voice demanded.
"Huh?" The other one smirked as if welcoming it.
"You're disrespecting school property like that, you cretin!"
The other boy only scoffed, enjoying the banter.
"Like I care about the opinion of an extra. Where you from?" the ash-blond asks.
Seeing that it was the same two that he imagined in his mind, Izuku couldn't believe the terrible bad luck he had when it came to new classmates.
"Somei Private High, why does that matter?" The red-eyed boy smirked, sneering up at the glasses-wearing boy.
"Somei, huh? You must think you're better than me?! Gonna be fun blowing ya to bits and knocking ya down a peg, elite!" Katsuki says, grinning.
"B-Blowing me to bits! You're trying to become a hero, aren't you? How awful!" He acted as if he had been slapped.
Then the hand of a short brown-haired one placed his on the glasses boy's shoulder as if to comfort him.
"Iida, let's not get riled up. We should get ready for class and-" says the one with a thick English American accent.
Katsuki changes his eyesight towards the foreigner and cuts him off.
"Huh? Not get riled up? What, you from some hotshot American Elite School too? Katsuki asks, grinning.
The brown hair boy one looks back at him.
"Go on American, where are you from?" he goads in English.
Before Peter could respond, Katsuki looks to the doorway, and the two other new students look as well. They see Izuku standing there, staring at them. He didn't know what to think now having conflicting emotions. At first, the new Hero Course student got horrified that he'll be classmates with the tall one with glasses and "Kaachan", but will also have the student with the highest score in the Entrance Exam: Peter Parker.
"Oh, hey, Midori!" Peter waved, walking casually to him as the tall glasses one followed suit.
"I'm glad to see you passed!"
At first, it just a classmate meeting another, but Izuku had no idea in the future that he and Peter Parker would be close friends in U.A. High School.
