Chapter 140

The 1-B students arrived at the exam centre, a large building that has a very large land, which you could have a city inside of it, and it wouldn't take so much space.

Surely, Lee thought that Japan in this world seems bigger, for people, 200 years in the future, not to have a concern about the lands distributing.

Maybe the people shrank without realising, along with the animal and everything. Or Earth got a quirk that made it bigger. That could be one explanation of two Lee thought of…Or the popularity is low due to the wars that had happened when the Quirks started to appear. Anyway, those thoughts would be left later when he studies at Midnight's class.

Vlad King picked up cards for his students, just like the other teachers had done. And then, his students were free to have a small meal before having their test.

Lee and the others could see students from other heroic schools across the country. Although UA was mentioned as one of the best schools, there are others, and one of them was said to be on the same level.

UA was only more famous because it had been the school where the Symbol of Peace came from. Also, there were many older people, older than twenty. These were guys who either have failed the past years or just want to have a license now.

Looking at the big crowd, it was easy to say that their numbers were in thousands.

Picking up their cards while wearing their heroic clothes, every hero candidate here was to walk to the main lobby.

"So many people here, do you think we can make it." Itsuka, who was standing next to Lee, said.

"Who knows?" Lee replied. He then examined her. "You should worth one thousand, right. So, I think they would be the ones to face an army"

"Hey, are you saying I am fat?" Itsuka retorted, joking.

"Maybe he means saying that." Reiko, who was flying in her ghost position with her hands extended, said before Lee could say no.

Itsuka didn't reply to Reiko. Instead, like a smart girl, she looked at Lee and said. "Hmm… do you agree with her?"

"Yare Yare Daze." Lee lowered his head and let a long sigh. That was the last thing he needed right now. "I'm fatter than you, change the topic."

"Hah, you no fun to mess with." Itsuka clicked her tongue at Reiko.

The ghost girl didn't say anything else and raised her ninja mask to cover the lower part of her face. "There seems people to stare at us," she said, looking around.

"Alright, kiddos, have a nice chat until the start of the test."

Vlad King waved his hand and left his students in the lobby.

Around, many who wanted to have a license came to see the students of UA. It wasn't a secret that UA always has the highest success rate at having the license test passed.

Lee noticed a group of guys, wearing long black coats and all were having hats on their head. Those should be from the dominant school in the west of the country.

Another group was only of beauties wearing the same costume; They came from only girls hero school.

Others wore like Ninjas.

As for the rest, they were rogue.

People blend in chat very quickly.

"Oh, you are the floating guy." Came one fat man around, smiling and greeting everyone, and he stopped in front of Lee. "The one who kicks people when they approach him."

Lee only examined him. A fat man with a rounded face, tight eyes, shaved head.

Lee didn't answer the guy, turned his face, and only wanted to mind his own business. It is too early to start acting.

"I'm Harunago, if we were to cross paths, pretend that I'm not there." He then turned and went to others.

Lee looked around.

Many people were glancing at him, and when they made eye contact, they turned their faces, or they smiled so friendly, especially the girls who had confidence in their beauty, which led Itsuka and Reiko to make Lee turn his face.

Although it wasn't mentioned to them, the Sports Festival had been streamed, and almost everyone in the country watches UA Festival.

Every hero candidate here knows their quirks very well with their weakness. Most of them seemed to be wary of Lee. While others were whispering and looking at 1-B class, scheming. Unlike the people at UA, these guys really knew how to whisper. It was impossible to hear them.

There was a plaza in front of everyone. A group of people in black stepped from it.

"Attention please." said a blue-haired woman as she stepped to the plaza. She was beautiful and looked full of vitality. She brushed her neck-length hair to the side and scanned the people below the plaza with her blue eyes. Putting her mouth next to the mic, she started talking. "I am Sakura from the Pro Hero Association, nice to meet you all." (Oc: don't bother searching)

Lee blinked as he looked at the plaza. Pro Hero Association, the organisation behind managing the heroes and their work in the country. They are also the ones who are responsible for payments. And from what he could see, Lee assumed that they have tons of wealth, to have schools with lands large enough to host cities.

The woman known as Sakura started with a small opening, making some speech about the responsibility of being a hero. She then said something about how there is much need for more qualified heroes nowadays.

It came then how the test is going to progress. She presented a game to choose who would qualify for the next round and explained the rules of the test.

In an opened test field, each one would be given three discs, and they would have to attach it to their bodies, in visible places.

Then, each person would be given balls.

Once all of the discs are hit, in one person, they would be eliminated from the test.

To make it to the next round, one has to eliminate three guys.

Which eventually meant that only one of four would be qualified.

An uproar happened.

"Hey, this isn't fair."

"One from four would make it, this is intentional, isn't it."

"Why don't you hire villains then and make us fight them."

Many didn't like how it's going for them to have their hero license.

Sakura joined her hand together, smiled and said, "Please calm down. As you are noticing nowadays, the villains are raising more than ever, so terrorist organisations are appearing, not to mention the mafia and the gangs.

"As time progress, many heroes are getting butchered. All of you are aware of the recent serial killer, who's only proficient in using weapons, and killed many because they weren't good enough.

"That guy was just someone who uses his sword, and his Quirk is about licking blood. Someone who knows karate may have better chances against him than most of you.

"We, Pro Hero Association want to guarantee that the ones who would go to the field would guarantee their and their environmental safety. We don't want to waste recourses on non-qualified heroes. Who doesn't like it, can leave, please.

Some clenched their fists and looked down. But the rest just accepted this answer. There is nothing they can do if society's standards for heroes skyrocket all of the sudden.

It seems that Stain made them realise that. Like, seriously, even though the guy had a sword, he could kill and cripple many heroes in the street. Stain's quirk would only work when he licks blood. Had a strong qualified hero been out there, such villains wouldn't make it to the stage where they lick the blood.

Lee scratched his chin, turned his eyes, and looked at Star Platinum.

"Now, please, be quiet as you make your way to the test location," Sakura said with a smile before leaving them for the staff to be guided.

Although the competition sounded hard, it wouldn't be hard for Lee, or his girls.

The next thing he knew, they were taken outside, to a large field.
