The Provisional License exam. My ticket to legitimacy in my vigilante activities. Or so I figured.
And seeing my escapades, so would others.
As I arrived alone at the stadium, having taken the time that morning to cooperate with the police in their investigations of the Kamino incident upon Nighteye's recommendation, I saw the class being greeted by a pretty boy with the vibration quirk.
Heh! He must be popular with the ladies, being a living vibrator and what not!
Though, his quirk was strong and as such I copied it permanently.
Yup. Permanently. When I took in AFO it mixed with Monoma's Copy and Reiko's Poltergeist to give me a complete and remote power copy ability.
Instantly, I also copied the quirks of every other examinee, and joined up with the class in the lecture hall.
I called them all together and informed them of the UA crushing tradition.
"Listen up. I've done my research on this exam. Every year, sonce the UA sports festival shows off our quirks, all other examonees are aware of them, their usage and most importantly, their weaknesses.
Therefore, there's an unofficial tradition in this exam that all other participants team up against UA high, in what's known as UA Crushing!"
"That's so unfair!" Mina whined.
"Yeah. How are we supposed to fight them all off?" Mineta asked clattering like clam.
"That's the neat part, you don't. At least if you follow my instructions, then I'll get us through the exams easy as pie. So you guys in, or do you want to face the might of all other schools combined alone?" I asked.
"I'm in!" Deku said.
"Yup." Sero replied.
"No way I'm opting pf such a good deal!" Kaminari added as the others nodded in agreement and muttered affirmations.
"Alright then. What we'll do is-" I began to explained when a sharp mic tuning noise ripped through the room.
"Uh sorry about that." A tired zombie looking man said, adjusting his mic, "Well, then, let's do this provisional license thing..."
He yawned before continuing.
"I'm Mera from the Hero Public Safety Commission. The kind of sleep I like is non-REM sleep...Nice to meet you."
He was almost dozing off. Man these HPSC guys are really overworked.
If they weren't such precrime nutjobs, I might have even felt bad for them!
"I have been so busy lately that I haven't gotten much sleep....we'retoo short staffed...I'm so sleepy!" Mera cried.
"With that conviction, I'll give you the orientation. About the content of the provisional license thing... frankly all 1540 examinees here will have to win through a free for all exercise! Our society is currently said to be saturated with heroes, and ever since Stain's movement gained momentum, doubts have been cast on the current state of heroes.
Heroes should not recieve compensation, and only those who sacrifice themselves for the sake of other should get to be called heroes, among other stupid opinions are being thrown around.
Now as a private citizen, no matter the motivation, to tell someone to risk their lives for others and not seek a reward is...it's the ruthless story of these times we live in...." he yawned.
"Anyways. Whether it's for compensation or loyalty or whatever other reason, the result of many people working hard to defeat villains is that the time to resolve problems has become so short it'd make you sick.
You are all about to recieve your provisional licenses and throw yourself into these rapids and those who aren't tough enough will likely never make it. Accordingly, youll be tested in this aspect. The first hundred students to fulfill the requirements will pass on to the next test.
That's that with the luck and what not. You already know this, so let's get on with it." He added drooping, and swerving as he stood up.
"Each contestant will have three targets and six balls to throw at those of others. Put the targets on any exposed area, it doesn't matter where. Just not on the soles of your feet or your armpits.
With the six balls, hit the targets. They'll light up." He said demonstrating it with the ball and target in his hand.
"If all three of your targets light up then you're out. The person whi lights uo your last target gets to count it as their victory.
Defeat two people to pass. That's all." He said, pressing the button on the desk as the walls began to slip off with a jarring buzz, revealing thee stadium.
This is so bloody inefficient. Could've just used a fucking door.
Could've built this room in the corner like a sane fucking person, rather than the goddamn middle of a fucking stadium, ruining it's use for all practical purposes.
I swear these people have too much money to waste on these crazy hackjob schemes.
Their budget needs some very generous cutting.
What a waste of taxpayer dollars or yen in this case.
The staff handed out the targets and balls to the participants as a one minute countdown started.
I turned to Momo.
"Momo, can you make two discs of metal, about the size of my forearm?"
"Yes. Here." She replied creating them.
"Uraraka use your quirk on these two. Everyone else gather close. We'll be done in a jiffy." I explained.
As the counter hit zero all the teams turned to us and I threw the two discs on either end of the stadium as high as I could before projecting eyes on them, binding all participants of the exam.
"Now go and take two targets each. Don't be greedy and play nice.
I'm looking at you Bakugo. Behave yourself. We're representing UA here after all! Don't drag the rest of the class's rep through the mud woth your potty mouth." I ordered.
One by one, all the UA students passed, before I got to the culling.
Alone, I disqualified the nearly over 1400 students, including those from Shiketsu and especially the pretty boy vibrator before I got bored and entered the qualifiers room.
What can I say, I'm petty about the pretty.
"This..this is unprecedented. And I somehow feel that this should be agaibst the rules. But I'm too sleepy to do anything about it. So I'll let it slide." Mera commented over the mic as the rest of the students got out of my bindings and began to compete amongst each other.
By the time a 100 people passed, it was some of the weakest competition we had, which all but guaranteed that all UA students would pass.
And there was also the side effect of me getting to focus on mind controlling all of the HPSC employees in attendance today, just to make my eradication of the comission as smooth as possible.
