Chapter 12: Exams


Musufatu, Japan

Another beautiful day began in Japan, people were moving directly to their jobs or wherever they needed to go. Kree was walking to the subway station; he decided to use it this day instead of his sister driving him. Fortunately, he was able to secure a seat. Once seated, he began reviewing the information his sister had sent him. Although the information was limited, it was engaging.

The Cognitive World had already been previously investigated, although much of its information was incomplete. But from what her sister was able to find out; it is a universe ruled by the mind, where people's desires take physical form, and that when a person's cognitive world is destroyed, they begin to suffer from different disorders, such as dementia, memory loss, and even death; perhaps that is what Lady Mirko meant with the mental shutdown and how that villain, that Kaneshiro's shadow mentioned, used them to achieve whatever goal he wanted.

After a few moments he gave up his seat to an old woman, the subway continued until it stopped at the next station where he met Ibara.

"Oh, Lady Ibara," Kree greets, her friend returns the gesture.

"H-hey, Kree-kun, hello, it seems we got the same train today," says the girl smiling a little.

"Yes, normally my sister takes me to school, but today I wanted to take the train, you know, get used to it a bit," answers the Austrian.

"I understand you, since the trains are very punctual it is easy to record the schedules," the girl answers.

An awkward silence formed between the two students.

"I wonder if Tetsutetsu will also take this train," says Kree thinking of his friend.

"I doubt it, he must live somewhere else," Ibara answered a little nervously, but then, the people moved a little causing Kree to collide with Ibara, clashing to her.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to,"

"N-no problem, it was an accident," answers the green-haired girl with a noticeable blush "What do you have there?" asks the girl upon seeing some leaves that Kree possessed.

"Oh, it's something I asked my younger sister, Cognitive Science, it's about... a situation I experienced during my internship with Lady Mirko,"

"Are you still studying even after your internship? You sure are dedicated, Kree-kun," Ibara comments smiling.

"I was just curious, and maybe, it could help me improve my Qiuirk,"

"Why do you say that?" the girl asks.

Kree paused to think about his answer, he promised the Phantoms Thieves didn't tell anyone anything about the Metaverse or them, and he was a man of his word, but he trusted Ibara a lot, she wouldn't spread the information, right?

"Well, I am a firm believer that there is more than what we perceive, I want to know if my Quirk is affected by cognitive alterations,"

"You confuse me," Ibara answers.

"I mean… My Quirk doesn't work on soulless beings, and… there are enemies that can alter reality with illusions, I want to know how to counteract those disadvantages of my Quirk in the future,"

"I see, that's very smart of you, Kree-kun,"

"Danke, Lady Ibara, and well, will you tell me about that rescue?" the boy asks, making his friend nervous.

After about 5 minutes of traveling, accompanied by a somewhat awkward silence, they managed to reach the school, Ibara told him about the rescue, although she mentioned that he did something bigger by stopping a dangerous criminal, but Kree scolded her again for not giving herself enough credit, so they changed the subject. Ibara asked him what the hardest thing about training with Mirko was, Kree answered the fight sessions he had with the heroine who always ended up defeating him with surrender.

The classes flowed with total tranquility, there didn't seem to be any problems between any of the students, until Vlad gave the news.

"The exams will start next week, I hope you have studied," says the professional calmly "As you already know, in addition to the written exam there will be a practical exam, so I recommend you train your mind and body, that would be all from me, have a good weekend," the teacher says goodbye and leaves the room.

All the students were discussing what to do to improve their grades, not that they were doing badly, but improving wouldn't do any harm.

"Tetsu -kun, Lady Ibara, is our plan still on track?" Kree (2/21) asks calmly to his friends.

"Yes, I need all the help I can get," says Tetsutetsu (11/21) pointing to himself.

"Of course, I appreciate the help you give me, Kree-kun," Ibara (7/21) answers calmly.

"Excuse me," Kendo speaks (1/21) "Do you mind if I join your study session?" the president asks smiling.

"No problem for me Lady Kendo, what about you guys?" Kree asks.

"Not at all, Kendo-san is also very intelligent, she will be more useful," answers Tetsutetsu.

"I don't have any problem either, I would feel more comfortable with another girl in the area," Ibara answers.

"Well, it's decided, tomorrow at my house," Kree mentions, sending the address of his home to the boys.


Lunch-Rush Dining Room

During lunch in the Lunch-Rush cafeteria, the topic of conversation on everyone's lips was the upcoming exams and what they would be like when dealing with such a prestigious academy as Yuuei "Do you think the exams will be difficult?" Kree asks while eating.

"I have no idea, I think they will be related to the lessons we have learned during this time, you know, search and rescue," comments Tetsutetsu while eating.

"We are at a disadvantage compared to Class A, they have had a little more time to learn about rescue," Ibara comments seriously.

"It's not entirely true," Kree comments, looking at his friend. "Of the three people sitting here, only one has participated in a real rescue mission," says the Austrian, recalling his friend's feat, who blushes a little.

"It's true, Ibara-chan! I saw the video! You were amazing!" Tetsutetsu excitedly says "I learned in my interships that you are a warrior," smiling shyly.

"Y-you're exaggerating," Ibara answers blushing.

"No, he's not," Kree says. "Your fight against Bakugou, that rescue too. You fought against things that are a disadvantage for you. I bet you knew that from the beginning, and yet, you still looked for a way to keep going, if I must talk about improving… You're further ahead than us, Ibara." Ibara opened her eyes wider, and her blush grew, Kree didn't even notice that she left the idiom aside.

"T-that's not true, y-you showed more potential, I-I on the other hand, failed the Sports Festival, and you won it, Kree-kun," Ibara answers.

"True, but in my training, I went to a place where my Astral Plane barely worked, so I had to make use of my physical training to be useful. You, on the other hand, used your Quirk in an unfavorable environment, such as fire, and you came out victorious," Kree finished saying while Ibara felt like crying.

"I'm sure your friends don't think you're inferior to them, the only one who seems to think that is you,"

"Guys…" Ibara says, smiling a little with a small tear threatening to come out.

The beautiful moment was ruined when they heard a small conversation near them, it was Monoma, who was apparently bothering Class A, again.

"Sorry. Your head is so big that I hit it by accident," says the blond.

"You're from Class B... Um, Monoma-kun!" says Midoriya, Kree sighed and stood up.

"Wait a minute, guys," he says before heading over there.

"I heard that you guys met the Hero Killer. Just like at the Festival, Class A always draws attention, huh?" Monoma mentions.

"What are you talking about?" asks Iida "Eisendrache-kun won the Sports Festival, and also, wasn't it also on the news that he and the hero Mirko arrested a wanted gangster?" the blue-haired man with glasses comments.

"And one of your classmates saved a child from a burning building," Uraraka answers, waving her fists up and down.

"Maybe it's true, but the spotlight is always on you, that's why people expect so much, you're like a magnet for trouble, aren't you? How scary," Monoma 's aura turns more sinister "One day, the rest of us could be in trouble and we'll fall victim to that. Like some kind of curse, how scary," Kendo to the rescue knocked out Monoma again.

"Stop bothering Class A, don't you know what happened to Iida?" the president complains.

"Kendo-kun," says Iida.

"Sorry, Class A. This guy's heart is something… special," the girl comments.

"I'll help you, Lady Kendo," says Kree carrying Monoma like a sack of potatoes.

"Eisendrache-kun," this is Midoriya.

"You were talking earlier about not knowing what will be in the practical exam, right?" the girl asks. "It seems that it will be combat against robots like in the entrance exam," the girl explains.

"Really? How do you know?" Midoriya asks.

"An older friend told me this a few moments ago. It's kind of cheating, though," Kendo answers.

"That helps a lot," Kree answers, since he didn't know either.

"What an idiot, Kendo," says Monoma barely recovering "We had the advantage in information, I-it was our chance to beat that insufferable Class A again!" Kendo knocks out Monoma again.

"They are not insufferable, I will take care of it from here, Eisendrache-kun," answers the girl dragging Monoma.

"She's like the older sister of Class B," Iida and Midoriya comment with a drop of sweat on the back of their necks.

"That's why we elected her as president," Kree answers.

"Oh, Eisendrache-kun," this is Midoriya "I read the news from Shibuya, I would like to ask you something,"

"I will do what I can, I made a confidentiality agreement," answers the Austrian.

"The vigilantes who helped you, what was their Quirk?" asks Midoriya.

"They had no Quirk," that took the students by surprise.

"Y-you mean, they operated as vigilantes without having a Quirk?" Iida asks.

"I never said that,"

Kree answers, confusing the Class A students even more "They… Had access to a power that only existed in a specific place, a place that doesn't exist on the Earthly Plane. I assume you already know how my Quirk works, right?" he asks, looking at the green-haired boy.

"From what I've seen, you have to touch your opponent to put them in a kind of trance until you snap your fingers," Midoriya replies.

"Yes and no, it's quite strange, although it works in that 'scientific' way , I separate my opponent's soul into an Astral Plane. My Quirk leans a little more towards the mystical than the scientific, this is due to the nature of my country," comments Kree "In itself, many Quirks can be considered of mystical origin, such as, for example, people with Quirks that allow them to have traits of mythological creatures, even be one, things like that," the latter makes Midoriya think.

"So, you're saying that those vigilantes, had access to magic?" asks Midoirya.

"Not exactly. There is more to this world than what we know, worlds beyond what we, even with Quirks, have not come close to investigating," Kree answers, "With your permission, I leave," and so, the Austrian walked away, leaving the green-haired man from Class A very thoughtful.


Class B Classroom

There was little time left for classes to end, everyone was preparing for their weekend of studies, after Kendo told them that the practical exam would be a fight against robots, many lost their nervousness, defeating robots would be a piece of cake.

"Is everything ready, Eisendrache-kun?" asks Kendo.

"Yes, everything is ready for tomorrow, they already have the address and we will help each other where we have problems, I am very sorry Lady Kendo, but I will take away that first place in the theoretical exam from you," says Kree looking at the orange-haired girl smiling.

"Woahoho, it will serve as the revenge you owe me Eisendrache-kun," Kendo answers returning the confident smile.

"They really do have a rivalry," Ibara comments.

"Four Kind-sensei said that healthy rivalries serve to improve the mutual understanding of those involved," answers Tetsutetsu, remembering his master's teaching.

The bell that rang indicated the end of school activities for that day, so the students took their things and proceeded to return to their homes.


Saturday, 10:00 am

Tetsutetsu was the first to arrive at his friend's residence, shortly after Shiozaki arrived and finally Kendo, everyone was lying outside a completely normal house, a small speaker on the fence spoke.

"Oh, you are friends of Kree, right?" the voice asks.

"That's right, is he home?" Tetsutetsu asks.

"Of course, go ahead," the gate opens leaving the way clear for the students, upon reaching the entrance they come across a beautiful red-haired girl wearing a white blouse and blue jeans "Guten Morgen, my name is Eisendrache Kreeaho'ahm, I am Kree's older sister," the young woman greets.

"G-good morning, Kendo Itsuka , class president," the orange-haired girl greets .

"Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, Kree-kun's friend," the gray-haired boy says, introducing himself.

"Sh-Shiozaki Ibara , Kree-kun's f-friend, p-pleasure to meet you, Eisendrache -san," Ibara introduces herself, shy about the beautiful woman in front of them.

"Welcome," the girl invites her brother's friends to come in "Kree's room is up the stairs, I already informed him of your visit, and please, I'm fine if you call me Kreea, in our country, we normally call people by their first name," the young people thanked them and went up to their friend/partner's room.

"Good morning, guys," Kree greets, coming out in casual clothes "This way," the Austrian let them into his room.

It seemed like a completely ordinary room, except for some details from his homeland and the fact that the back of his bed was made of hand-carved wood. The four of them began their study session, Kree was in charge of helping them with the subjects that were more foreign to them, such as English and Literature, while Kendo helped them with subjects like Mathematics and Classical Language.

After studying for a while, Kree's sister brought them something to eat so they could get some rest, a little relaxation never hurts.

"Hm, Kree-kun," says Tetsutetsu while digesting his sweet bread "This is delicious," says the grey-haired man.

"I know, sweet bread is the best, people from my country love pastries," answers the Austrian.

"Do you know how to cook, Kree-kun?" Kendo asks.

"No, not really, I can barely make anything decent without burning something, my younger brother is the one who cooks, he's really good. I'd love for you to try something he's made one day," the boy answers smiling.

"What's that over there, Kree-kun?" Ibara asks, pointing to a large briefcase leaning against the wall.

"It's a guitar," Kree answers while eating.

"Do you play guitar?" Kendo asks.

"Yes, a little, I really like music," Kree answers.

"Don't be modest, brother," Kreea answers , peeking through the door "You also play violin, drums, bass and piano," the redhead answers.

"Were you spying?" Kree asks, raising his eyebrow, a little embarrassed.

"N-no, what do you think? I was just waiting in case they needed something," the redhead excuses herself, smiling a little.

"W-we're fine, t-thanks," Ibara answers.

"Okay, I'll be downstairs," the girl leaves.

"I'm sorry about that," Kree apologizes.

"So, you play several instruments, huh?" Kendo comments making Kree just sigh.

"Yes, I do, I really like music, so it was only a matter of time before I decided to learn how to play," the Austrian answers.

"That's amazing, would you teach me one day?" Tetsutetsu asks excitedly.

"When our classes ease up, sure, friend," Kree answers.

"Let's resume the session," Kendo asks with a smile.

After a few hours, they had finished, but they agreed to meet the next day to continue studying, this time in a cafeteria, Kreea told them that they were welcome whenever they wanted.


Exam Week

The first days of written exams were intense, everyone was too focused on their exams to think about anything else, it was frustrating and the tension was in the air, and so each and every day of the theoretical exam went by, until the day of the practical exam arrived, according to Kendo's information, the exam would be a fight against robots, Kree was somewhat worried, he entered by recommendation, so he has never faced those UA robots the only time he saw them was at the Sports Festival. Luckily, he has already faced a giant robot deadlier than Yuuei 's, and this one was shaped like a pig.

"Wow, that was tedious," Kree answers, stretching a little.

"Thank you for your assistance, Kree-kun," says Ibara "Your help in English was immensely useful," the girl comments smiling.

"You too, Kendo-san," Tetsutetsu says "If it weren't for your help with Math, I would be dead now,"

"It's nothing Tetsutetsu -san, it was a pleasure to be of use," the orange-haired woman mentions smiling.


Practical exam area, Central Plaza

The students were in their hero costumes in front of the facility, and in front of them were their teachers, not all of them, but some, from Present Mic to Ectoplasm, several of his teachers were present.

"Welcome to the practical exam," Vlad said seriously "First of all, I want to tell you that it is possible to fail this exam. If you want to go to the camp, you must not make any mistakes," said the teacher.

"Why are there so many teachers?" Shoda asks.

"No idea, will they give us instructions?" Rin answers seriously.

"You're probably wondering what we're doing here," Vlad says "Well, the teachers were in a meeting and..." behind the teacher came Director Nezu.

"We decided to change the exam this time," says the rodent smiling.

"The Principal is here?" Kree asks confused.

"What do you mean by saying you changed it?" Kendo asks.

"As we explained to Class A, we will focus more on combat and teamwork, as well as the stress more similar to a real fight," comments the rodent smiling as always.

"For this reason, the exam will be as follows," says Vlad looking at the rodent who takes the floor again.

"You all will form teams of two and together you will fight against a teacher," the director mentions, spreading his arms.

"What?!" some ask.

"Are we going to face the teachers?" Pony asks.

"That's right, some of you were fortunate enough, if you can put it that way, to experience situations that heroes face on a daily basis, robberies, assaults, natural disasters," he said that looking at Ibara "Or dangerous criminals," he said that now looking at Kree.

"But, Principal Nezu," Ibara says "There are 21 of us, will we make a team of 3 again?" the girl asks.

"That's right, in fact, it's fortunate that there are 21 of you, it makes me feel better about the last challenge," answers the rodent, confusing everyone.

"Huh?" Kree asks, raising an eyebrow.

"By the way, the pairs and their opponents were already selected beforehand. Chosen by a few factors, such as, for example, combat style, grades and relationships, so we will tell you right away," Vlad says holding a paper "First, Kendo and Tetsutetsu, you will be the first," the aforementioned open their eyes "Your opponent will be Cementoss," comments the gray-haired man looking at his partner.

"Hai," they both respond.

"By the way, the 3-person team will consist of Tsunotori Pony, Rin Hiryu , and Eisendrache Kreeholo," the 3 turned to see each other "Your opponent… will be All Might," Vlad answers, causing the three of them to open their eyes in surprise.

"I hope you go all out, young ones," says All Might smiling.

"Shiesse,"

"Shit,"

"Lā shi,"

Flashback, a few days ago

At the Yuuei offices, the professionals were discussing the strange link between the hero killer and the League of Villains, they were also discussing the option of changing the practical exam, initially they used robots to avoid complaints from those injured in the entrance exam, but due to the increasing activity of villains in the country, it seemed more prudent to change the exam to a more complicated and realistic version.

"I understand why they want to change the exam," says Cementoss "But make two students face a teacher?" asks the man.

"Yes, it is a little unfair," answers Thirteen.

"If we win easily, we won't be able to rate them," says Present Mic.

"We should consider that and give some sort of advantage to the students," Snipe mentions making a good point.

"What do you think, sir?" Aizawa asks Nezu .

"I also agree with changing the practical exam, but what can we do to reduce the danger to the students?" asks Nezu "The answer is simple. Make them stronger," answers the rodent.

After assigning the teachers who would grade Class A, it was Class B's turn next, Vlad King walked in with his students' forms and took a seat.

"Well, since everyone has chosen their opponents from Class A, it's time for us to move on to Vlad's Class," Nezu comments, observing.

"First, the delegate, Kendo Itsuka," Vlad shows a photo of the girl "She has strength and combat technique, and her leadership ability is acceptable, I think Tetsutetsu could be a good choice, since the boy has a Quirk too similar to Kirsihima of Class A, and, they will face Cementoss," the professional nods "Kendo skill and Tetsutetsu's Quirk should complement them to be able to fight against you," says Vlad.

"Understood, I'll take care of them," Cementoss comments.

"Now, the sub-delegate, Eisendrache Kreeholo. Based on his performance with Mirko, he was forced to use a firearm and in the words of Mirko herself, he knows how to use it," that caught the attention of some teachers "We've all seen how skilled he is in combat, not to mention the wolves that look after him. I have to be honest, I didn't think the boy knew how to use a gun,"

"Lady Eisendrache said that since he was little, he was trained by the Perks Quad in military training," explains Nezu.

"Well, back to the clashes. All Might, I think you would be an excellent rival for him," comments Vlad King looking at the blond.

"I see, I'll be facing him and 2 other companions of his, no?" asks All Might.

"That's right," Vlad answers "Eisendrache could adapt to anyone, since his combat style can be aggressive and methodical at the same time, so I decided that he should form a team of 3 people and have them face you. Tsunotori Pony and Rin Hiryu basically, I left the foreigners to you," Vlad mentions.


Present

Everyone was staring intently at the teacher they were assigned to fight with, some were nervous, others were a little surprised by their assigned partner.

"The time limit is 30 minutes. Your goal is to either put these handcuffs on your teacher or allow one of you to escape the area," Director Nezu comments.

"We can escape?" Rin asks.

"That's right," the director answers.

"However, it will be different," Ectoplasm speaks.

"That's right, now you're not facing robots, but us, professional teachers, so the fight will be more like reality," answers Trece.

"That means, you have to visualize us as the villains," says Midnight.

"That's simple," Tokage replies , remembering how the woman felt when she was left in charge of the salon.

"That's right!" All speaks Might "With the rules stated, we are evaluating your decisions, oh, by the way, the teachers will use some special weights that the students of the Support Course made," the blond comments, showing some compressed weights "So that you have a certain… advantage," clarifies the hero.

"Well, everyone will take their exam in the designated area, Tetsutetsu , Kendo, you start," Vlad comments.

"Hai," they both respond.

"Everyone else, wait your turn, you can watch the others and think of some strategy for your encounter, good luck guys," with that said, all the professionals entered the building.

The gray-haired man and the president nodded at each other and entered their exam area while the others joined their respective partners.

"It's an honor to team up with you all," says Kree, looking at his teammates.

"Don't even mention it Eisendrache-kun, it will be very interesting to work with you, especially when we have to face All Might-sensei," Rin answers nervously.

"We better think of a strategy," Pony comments looking at them.

"Then let's go get ready," Kree replies, entering with his companions.

"Helloooooooo, partner," says Tokage hugging Ibara with her arm, who gulped nervously.

"H-hello, Tokage-san," the young woman answers nervously.

"Shall we discuss our strategy?" the girl asks with an evil smile.

"O-okay," Ibara answers, terrified.

Tetsutetsu and Kendo were ready for their exam, while some of the others watched to think better about their strategy, and other people ( Tokage ) were in charge of thinking about how to pass and at the same time get revenge on the girl who always got in the way of their misdeeds, I mean, in their completely ordinary teenage activities.


End of Chapter


The chapter is a little shorter than the previous ones, but if I'm honest, when I wrote it I didn't have much of an idea what to do, anyway I hope it was entertaining enough.

I'll read you all next week, Zar, out.
