5 Chapter 5: Letting Loose the Beast Within

Ten months.

That is how many months I have spent training for this test and I studied for far longer than that. I have poured in my blood(a shit ton of that), sweat(enough said), and tears(…) for these past few months in order to push myself past a limit that most humans almost never reach.

In summary, I have gained and nearly mastered 5 new force abilities, reached One for All: Full Cowl 20%, and reached a new height in my physical abilities.

Now, the question would be 'how did you achieve all that?' and the answer to that would be luck and a lot of practice. Force lightning, force phase, and mind trick were simple enough to practice as each one requires a finite level of control and an increase in stamina. The other two abilities I learned were both important for my physique and combat abilities.

Force augment is more different than force augmentation or what I'm calling it 'force boost' as I absorbed so much force energy into my cells that it permanently boosted all of my abilities including my mind. I now am able to absorb and comprehend information so much faster than before as it also boosts my memory storage too. The other one that I somehow invented is force pressure or force gravity depending on the situation. Just like in its namesake, I am able to manipulate gravity to exert more G's onto a person or pressure their very life energy so they even if they have a strong body it won't matter since this is spiritual in its attack.

I used force gravity to exert it onto my body in order to strengthen my already strong body. What people fail to realize is that when you say 2x Earth's gravity that means your body weight is 2x what normally was. All that liquid and soft organs in your body that is supposed to function normally in regular gravity; imagine all that being pulled down towards the soles of your feet. Let's just say that I now understand what a centrifuge feels like. Thanks to insane healing factor though I can simply perform a mini forced evolution and have my adapt to the gravity. It took a lot of pain and simple calisthenics, but I am now able to handle 5x Earth's gravity. Fun fact, All Might and I found out he can endure 15x Earth's gravity which is an insane concept to think about especially when we both know he is nowhere near his prime.

There is also the days where I spent my time relaxing with Yaoyorozu and hanging out a cafe or going to an arcade. No I do not accept those as dates, we were just going out as friends no matter how much Mom teased me about it. Oh yeah, Mom has been going back to the gym again after all this time. Don't get me wrong she was a beautiful woman, but now she is a stunning lady and as I have heard it from local men 'a women that is filled out in all the right places'; let us just say those men never came near my mom ever again if they ever wanted to keep their other nut.

Now it is the day of the U.A. exam and I can't help but feel excited to be here. This place is huge and if it wasn't for my enhanced senses then I would surely get lost. "Move it or fuck off Deku your call." Katsumi said while walking by me. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe I saw her hips sway a bit more than necessary for a simple walk towards the testing room. Eh, food for thought later, now to head to the room as well… 'Or I could just die. Seriously, why was that brick sticking out like that?' I was just going to perform a flip and catch myself but apparently gravity had other ideas as I was now floating midair as if.. "Sorry for using my quirk on you. I didn't want you to fall flat on your face, but it looks like you were already going to catch yourself. Oh, and release." I turned around to see the person who caught me and ended up witness a very cute girl. She had nice dark brown hair with a bob cut in the back and two large bangs that framed her face which had small permanent blushes on her cheeks. I looked down at her hands and noticed small paw prints on her fingers, 'must be to activate her quirk', she was wearing a gray winter coat and skirt plus leggings combo with brown boots to complete outfit.

"Don't worry about it. Thanks for save, I really do appreciate that." I gave her a small grin as well.

I guess it was colder than I thought it was as it seems like she is blushing more to counteract the cold. We exchanged names while walking and I found out her name is Uraraka Ochako. We separated shortly after to our respective written test rooms and I ended up in one where the coordinator looked like he hasn't slept well in weeks and his hair was a frizzle mess. We were given an hour to complete the test and it only took me fifteen minutes to finish so I meditated while waiting for everybody else. After that, I walked into a large room that held seats meant for university lectures and noticed they grouped us up by schools. I looked over and up near the middle was Katsumi looking as annoyed as ever.

"Hey Kacchan, how was your test? Anything difficult?" She looked at me, huffed, then replied, "Nothing I can't handle myself now shut up and wait for the examiner to come in." And so we waited while more students piled in until one man stood at the podium. He wore something similar to a biker outfit, finger less gloves and all, except he had a crazy blonde Mohawk and a wispy mustache. This man can be better known as Present Mic and is one of the teachers here in U.A. and a pro hero who's quirk is known to be sound based and…mumble, mumble, mumble

"Now there are three bots to earn points, the one pointer, two pointer and three pointer. Each have their own level of difficulties so pay attention to any weaknesses you can exploit. Now..."

"Excuse me sir!" "Yes." "It says here on the pamphlet that there is four types of bots now if this is a typo then it needs reprinted. For such a prestigious school such as U.A. it cannot have any sort of errors such as these. And you! Tall person over there, you have mumbling for awhile now and it has been disturbing everyone's focus so if that's what you wanted then I must ask you to leave." He says all that then proceeded to point at me.

I looked at him with a very sharp glare as I countered, "If a slight hushed mumbling would distract a would be hero then they have no place here in the first place. And if anyone is distracting anyone it would be you. The one who has so rudely interrupted our examiner as he was explaining the fourth bot to us. If you don't believe me then look at the screen in the back where the picture stopped at. Now please sit down back in your seat and don't be so quick to judge things so easily." Most openly glared at the blue haired bespectacled boy while some giggled or chuckled at what happened.

"I apologize for the interruption. Please proceed with the explanation." The boy bowed deeply and sat right back down with a small embarrassed blush on his face. Coughing a little, Present Mic continued on, "Yes, as I was saying, the fourth bot is worth zero points and is meant to be ran away from. The more enclosed the space its in, then the more berserk it gets so watch yourself out there. Now as the hero Napoleon once said repeat after me. PLUS ULTRA!"

"PLUS ULTRA!"

Looking down at the slip given to me it seems I am in test area C while Katsumi is in area B. I guess they didn't want us cheating with the people we know. Katsumi just huffed again and started walking over to her test area while I do the same.

'Oh there's the girl who caught me. Maybe I should talk to her since she does look anxious.' As I made a step towards her, a hand fell upon my shoulder and before the person could even let out a sound he was flipped right back onto his feet. It was the glasses guy, I wonder what he wanted. "You do know it is rude to sneak up on someone like that right?" He looked at me a bit taken aback but soon recovered.

"I am sorry for my behavior in there as I did not think about what you said before you pointed it out to me. My name is Iida Tenya. What is yours?" He put out his hand for a handshake as he said his name.

"Izuku Midoriya. We got off on the wrong foot. Probably due to nervousness so no harm no foul. Good luck in there." I shook his hand then blasted off into the area right when the doors opened.

"Likewise?" Tenya was both confused and shocked by my speed as he did not expect anyone of my size to move that quickly. Others thought the same while some thought I was just too nervous and reacted too quickly. That was until they heard Present Mic. "What are you all waiting for? There is no starting gun when out in the field. That kid had the right idea." After hearing that, everyone else bolted towards the doors.

The first bot that I encountered was the third pointer which pretty much looked like a mecha on tank wheels. I jumped up towards its head and shot a roundhouse kick to its head which destroyed it fairly quickly. 'These things are not that strong. There are also switches in some hidden areas that disable it all the same.' As I was observing the bot, ten more of the same bot converged onto my area with all of them going for the attack. I waved my hand towards them; it resulted with four shutting down from their switch being flipped and the others knocking into each other until only one was left standing. I force pulled the bot to me, while at the same time, I punched out a certain joint in its neck that tore its head off its body.

'33 points, couple more to go.'

...

"I'd say we have some good prospects this year. What does everybody else think?" a small rat, bear, mongoose thing spoke out in a medium high pitched voice towards the others in the dark room with him. "Able to read the situation and react accordingly", one voice belonging to a man wearing a cowboy hat and gas mask observed from blonde kid shooting lasers out of his stomach. "Going to a vantage point and plan out a form of attack based off what was seen." observed one voice belonging to a beautiful sensual woman looking at a masked muscular boy who has multiple eyes and ears in different directions. "Pure combat capabilities and prowess." bluntly said by the tired man while looking at a girl blowing up multiple bots with her quirk. "And one who is doing all three and even more." said a skinny man in a suit while looking at a boy wearing a sweat suit flipping and hitting every bot that came at him.

"It is time for the real test. Would you like to do the honors?" said the mouse/bear while looking at the skinny man who nodded and flipped a switch.

'99 points huh. Must be a new record.' I said while looking around at the piles of robot parts around.

'Hope they don't consider saving those people as stealing their points.' Just as I was getting ready to leave after hearing the two minute mark, a large booming sound shook the ground and roof I was standing on. I looked up to only end up seeing a behemoth of a bot that was at least 100 meters tall and had a more gundam shape than anything else.

I was about run away from the giant until I heard it, "Oww.." and turned around to see something that made me instantly activate full cowling. It was Uraraka stuck under a large pile of rubble, the moment I looked into her eyes I was already lifting the cement off of her. "You can't move because of your ankle." She gave me a nod then opened her eyes wide and blushed as I carried her in a bridal carry towards the large groups of people. I made eye contact with Tenya and handed her off to him while I went running back towards the behemoth before it causes more destruction and injuries. I never did hear either of them protest me going back.

I looked up to the bot and knew what to do. I raised full cowl's percentage to 20% and launched myself upwards until my feet made contact with its smooth metal chest and wall ran the rest of the way. Without my notice, my eyes flashed red again but this time a small dot of the blood red color stayed in my irises.

I channeled both the Force and One for All towards my hand, imagining a ball of power and lightning.

That ball came to fruition as a basketball sized light blue colored sphere of energy that had green and red lightning coursing through it. I reached the bot's temple and yelled out,

"One for All: Force Maelstrom!"

After that an explosion and the sound of thunder occurred then a bright white light blinded everyone. By the time they gained back their vision, all that was left of that bot were its feet as the rest of it was vaporized from the energy and lightning. I was floating down to the ground, yes floating, not falling as I erased half of Earth's gravity on myself. By the time I reached a safe distance, about 100 feet, 'safe for me anyway', I turned the gravity back to normal and fell normally, right into the concrete where I made an crater into the ground. Everyone else just looked down in shock at what I just achieved as they peered down into my 'me' sized crater.

...

Recovery girl was walking down the street of the area and giving either a gummy or a kiss to whoever needed them. When she looked at where I fell she immediately ran towards my crater in worry. "Are you alright? Please be alright there sonny." she couldn't help but worry for my sake. "I'm good. Just tired and hungry." I managed to climb myself out of the hole looking around at people's shocked faces. "Did I miss anything or...?" I looked at recovery girl and immediately stood up straight and bowed to her saying, "Thank you for healing everyone here. I would have helped you but that hole was deeper than I thought." while rubbing the back of my curly haired head in an embarrassed manner. She looked at me then snorted and said "You're okay. This is part of the job description, though I did wish you kids wouldn't get hurt so much."

"Umm are you okay? You did fall down over 100 feet straight into the ground." Uraraka couldn't help but ask as she was worried he got hurt for her sake. "Ah don't worry about it. I have a healing factor that pretty much lets me shrug this off. Though it does hurt and I am hungry from wasting so much energy." As I give another reassuring smile, then I looked down to her and said, "Do you want me to heal that for you?" She gave me a small smile and accepted the offer. Less than a minute later and she was fully healed while I was walking away.

Looking at everybody leaving, I made the assumption that the tests were over and it was time to get home. People around me gave off emotions of anxiety, worry, fear, dread, while some had happiness or aloofness, but all I could think about was, "I wonder if Mom made katsudon today?"
