6 Scholarship

—-------------------------------------------------------

Chapter- Six

"So are you confident that you'll get through the exam?"

Setsuna asked Akira. They were currently hanging out on the market street. It's been a few days since the entrance exam but Akira still hasn't received any info from the school which works more like a college.

"I got almost 200 points and only stopped because it was meaningless to get more." Akira said and looked at her, "Do you really think I won't pass?"

"Geesh, I think you went a bit far… even Denki only scored about 30 points" Setsuna said, she knew very well that Akira did too much.

"Well the test was a lot easier than I expected… the robots attacked almost no one and weren't very durable either."

"Of course, they are made for testing middle schoolers." Setsuna shook her head, she found it funny that Akira overestimated the test very much. "If they were made to be strong, no way most of us could handle that."

"I didn't think of that. I thought U.A. only accepts kids who are strong and I know I was wrong…" Akira muttered, he only realised this after the exam. "The U.A. 's hero course doesn't just need people with strong quirks. It needs people with strong will too."

"Let's not think of the past! I know a good cake shop here, I'll show it to you!" Setsuna wanted him to be happy so she proceeded to drag him to a famous cake shop nearby.

"They make the best of cakes there!" She dragged him.

"Better than yours?" Akira openly asked while looking at her ass. She was wearing tight pants so her ass was really obvious to him.

"Shhh! Don't say stuff like that in public moron!" She immediately stopped and hussed him quietly. She's still quite embarrassed about showing intimacy in public.

"What? I'm being honest here." Akira acted oblivious, enjoying her shy reaction. It was a pleasant change from her usual self.

"Hmph! I'm wearing skirts from now on!"

—--------------------------------------------------

"That shop… how can they charge 4000 yen for a melon bread?"

Akira asked in shock, they just came out of the shop after eating. He knew the place looked expensive but he didn't expect it to be that expensive.

"It's an expensive place, what did you expect? And I am the one who paid." Setsuna said. She was feeling good after eating there.

"Well that's true…" Akira leaned on Setsuna's back, "I have to thank my sugar mommy for that." He whispered.

"Then that thanks better be more than 4000 yen" She said smiling, she didn't mind spending for him.

"Don't worry, I'll pay on the next date"

-Meanwhile-

"So this is the boy?" 

In a dark room with barely any light, a voice said looking at the screen of the TV. The screen showed a picture of a boy with green hair and a lot of fickles. 

"How sure are you that he's 'his' successor?" The same deep voice asked.

"I am damn sure that this kid is 'his' successor. I ran an investigation on his history and he showed no signs of having a quirk till this year where he suddenly has a powerful quirk that even his own body couldn't handle." Another voice said, but unlike the previous one this was much more normal.

"Hmm.. it does sound like he was given the quirk… and considering the fact that All Might appeared more than once in Mustafu of all places it all points to this." The screen was changed to another picture of the green haired boy, but in this picture the boy was standing beside his mother/

'That woman… she resembles 'her' too much..' 

"Then we should start our plans, doctor… Now that he too chooses a successor this fight is no longer between just us. Make sure Shigaraki is ready for future plans! Let's show this world that All For One is not dead!" The voice said with a maniacal laughter revealing its form. It was a man strapped to a chair with many wires attached all over his hands and a large mask on his head, hiding his face.

'I hope you are ready to see the world fall, All Might!'

"Ahh… who said dating is easy?" 

Akira landed on his couch, tired after a long day of dating. Setsuna had unlimited energy and almost stopped at every store to look for more clothes. And the truly weird part is that she didn't like any dress. She just tried it and showed it to Akira all day.

She only brought 3 or 4 dresses but tried more than 20.

"Well she got me clothes too so I can't complain…" He muttered looking at the 'Wax' bag where the clothes she bought for him was there.

"Though it makes me feel like a shitty boyfriend who mooches off his rich girlfriend." He said as he stood up and went near his front door after mail was dropped there.

"Which is false… ly true." He agrees very much that he's mooching off Setsuna. But what can he do? He's broke as dirt. His parents aren't First-class oil daddies, the money they send him is barely enough for his food, so unless he wants to eat cup ramen for the rest of the month, he can't spend much.

He looked at the mail and noticed that it was to him from the U.A.

"They have a fucking mini city and they still use mails?" He tore open the mail to see what was inside and immediately a small circular device fell out.

Immediately a projection of All Might of all people came out of the device.

"All Might?" even Akira was surprised.

[Ahm- I need to be quick? Ok] All Might seemed to be talking to someone behind the scene.

'Did they forget to cut it or does this have any kind of hidden meaning?' 

[Hello Kento-kun. You may wonder why I'm here. The only reason that I'm in this town is to teach at U.A.]

'!!' Akira was surprised, All Might could be said as one of the very few international heroes. He is one of the very few heroes who have enough power to affect the human society as a whole.

[Get to the point you say? Whatever I wanna say to him can be said later you say? Ah, got it]

[Young Kento, you passed both the practical and written part of our exam and have been admitted to our hero course!]

"Fuck yeah!!" Even though Akira was confident to get it, he was still more than happy to hear it.

[But that's not the end of the story, you didn't just destroy the robots for more points and stopped the zero-pointer to save your fellow students and we, in U.A , value that more than your previous feats.] He said while showing a table on the screen behind him. It showed the ranks of the competitors. In it, Akira was on the top with 192 Villain points and 78 rescue points. Totalling 270 points. Nearly 200 points more than the one who scored the second place with 77 points.

[Seeing your feats and finding out about your family's situation, our principal and chairman, Mr. Nezu was amazed and wishes to offer you a scholarship] All Might said and the screen switched to Nezu who was sitting on a chair and waving his small arms at him with a simple smile.

[Our contact info will be on the mail we sent to you, use it to contact us regarding any kind of queries or requests you have.] The screen switched back to All Might who had his signature grin with a thumbs-up. [Welcome to the hero course, Akira Kento]

*Thud*

Akira sat on his couch and finally released the breath which he didn't know held in. 

'They really are heroes huh?' Akira thought while blankly staring at his ceiling 'They seem to really care… they even looked about my family..'

"Am I really suited to be a hero?" He questioned. It was a big thing for him that U.A decided to help him when even his own parents didn't. He got a little emotional.

"But I have the power to help and save people." He thought about all the people who helped him in his life. Sazu, the first person to actually care about him, Denki who remained his friend even when he was in his emo phase, His neighbour Tanaka-san who constantly helps him with many stuff, Setsuna who likes him for who he is and finally U.A which made an effort to help him.

"It's no longer about if I can be a hero…" He said with determination, his eyes shining in emerald green.

"I have to be a hero," He clenched his fist, making a promise to himself to become a hero that strives to set an example to others, "I'll become the best goddamn hero there is!"

Then he proceeded to inform everyone from Sazu to Denki about his result. Naturally all of them were happy for him and Denki too passed the exam and seemed to get into the hero course, ranking 7th overall with 51 villain points and 10 rescue points.

He then proceeded to call the number U.A gave on the mail; it connected him to a receptionist at U.A who later connected him to a higher-level employee. He inquired about his scholarship deal, it included him getting about 100,000 yen monthly for his expenses and a dorm room in the U.A. if he wished. He would be provided more if he asked for it but Akira didn't. They would create a student account for him.

They also asked him if he needed any help in filling out the forms where he needed to mention his details. They let him use his own signature and didn't want his parents' signature either, which made Akira even more happy that he didn't have to call his parents. He was asked to give his measurements to make uniforms for him and also asked whether he's like a hero costume. To which Akira said what came to his mind at the moment.

The call ended after almost an hour after the U.A. representative explained in detail about the scholarship fully. Akira finally put his phone down and sighed.

"Damn… U.A. is just a university in the name of a school." He concluded and laid on his couch. "Still.. Should I have really ripped off Green Lantern's suit?"
