The Provisional License Exam!

You rode the bus with your classmates to the place where you'll be taking your provisional hero license exam, Takoba National Stadium. The whole way there, you were nervous and didn't know if you'll pass this exam or not. The feeling didn't go away when you reached your destination and you weren't the only one who's nervous. 

"I'm getting nervousss!" Kyoka spoke anxiously. 

"What do you think we're going to have to do for the exam?" Mineta asked nervously. "Ugh. What if I can't get my license?"

"Mineta." The grape headed classmate flinched and Mr. Aizawa crouched down to his level. "Don't ask if you can. Say you will."

"Right. Sure. I've so got this!"

Mr. Aizawa stands up straight and faces you and your classmates. "If you can pass this test and get your provisional licenses, then you novice eggs will hatch into chicks. You'll be semi-pros. I expect your best."

'All right. I can't wait to be a heroic chicken." Kaminari says confidently. 

"Let's call out the usual, you guys." Eijiro encourages. "On my mark. Go Plus..."

"Ultra!" A random male student shouted at the same time as Eijiro. 

The student is a very tall and well built teenage boy with dark brown crew cut styled hair and black eyes. He's wearing a white collared shirt and dark pants. On his head is a cap that matches his school uniform. 

"Y'know, it's pretty rude to barge into other people's huddles like that, Inasa." Another guy wearing the same attire informed. 

"What? Pardon me. I am so..." The loud Shiketsu student named Inasa bows his head so low that it hits the ground hard. "Very... extremely... sorry!"

"Who is this guy?" You asked bewildered. 

"I don't know, but I do not trust his enthusiasm." Kaminari replied. 

"Hey, look at their uniforms." Kyoka points out.

You did as she said and remembered what school those uniforms represent. 

"These guys are from that famous school on the other side of Japan." You said in realization. 

"UA in the East. Shiketsu in the West." Katsuki spoke.

Of the many hero departments out there, this is the elite school that rivals UA.... Shiketsu High!

"I just wanted to try and say it once!! Plus Ultra!!" ​​The enthusiastic boy shouted as blood flows from his head. "I myself, I must say that I love UA!!! It's the utmost honor to be competing with you all at UA. I wish you the best!"

You noticed a female Shiketsu student staring at you before she and Inasa leave with their classmates towards the building. 

"Inasa Yoarashi." Aizawa spoke.

"Mr. Aizawa, do you know that person?" Toru asks.

"He's crazy enthusiastic." You mentioned. 

"Yeah." Eijiro agreed. "If you listen to him, everything he says would normally all be interpreted positively..."

"That guy... is strong." Your teacher says in a serious tone. "Yoarashi... at last year's UA entrance exam, the same year you all took it... in spite of receiving the top score and passing... for some reason, he declined his admission offer."

You and Izuku gasped. 

"Then, that means... he's a first year, too?!" You stared at Yoarashi in astonishment. 

"And... if he got the top score, that also means..." Izuku glanced at Todoroki and you did the same. It was clear what you both were thinking: He's even more talented than Todoroki?!

"He says he loves UA and stuff, but he rejected his admission offer?" Hanta questions. "I don't get it..."

"He's weird." Mina spoke.

"Weird as he may be, he's the real deal." Mr. Aizawa says. "You best take note of him."

"Eraser?! Eraser, is that you?!" Aizawa flinched at the sound of the female voice. You all looked towards the direction of that voice and saw a smiling woman with seafoam green hair walking up to your teacher. "I saw you on TV and at the Sports Festival, but... it's been so long since we've seen each other face-to-face!!"

You and Izuku recognized the lady as the Smile Hero, Ms. Joke!

"Let's get married!"

"No thanks." Your teacher responds bluntly. 

Mina squealed in delight and Ms. Joke laughed.

"No thanks?! Good one!"

"As always, you've got an unamusing sense of humor, Joke."

"She's the Smile Hero, Ms. Joke!" Izuku says with excitement. "Her Quirk is called Roaring Laughter! By forcing the people around her to laugh, she impairs their cognitive and motor skills! Her villian suppression technique are insane!"

"If you married me, we could start a family filled with unbearable laughter and joy." The Smile Hero says to Aizawa cheerfully. 

"That sounds like an absolute hell." He replied nonchalantly, causing Ms. Joke to burst into laughter once again. 

"You guys seem pretty close..." Tsuyu spoke.

"Our offices used to be close to each other!" Ms. Joke places both of her hands on her heart. "We'd help each other out, coming to each other's rescues. A relationship built on mutual love."

"False." Aizawa states.

"Ha! It's fun to pull your leg, Eraser!"

Mr. Aizawa looked behind Ms. Joke. "Oh, your school's here with you, too?"

"Yeah." Ms. Joke looked back at her students. "Hey! Come over here, everyone! It's UA!"

The group of students walked up to you and your classmates. 

"Ohh! It's really them!" A shaggy haired male student said in awe.

"Incredible! Truly incredible!" Enthused a girl with pointed teeth. "I've seen all of them on TV!"

"First years trying for a provisional already?" A male student with long wavy hair says casually. "That's awfully fast-paced... well, to each their own, I guess. As expected, they do things a little differently..."

"Ketsubutsu Academy, 2nd year, Class 2!" Ms. Joke says proudly. "These are my kids."

The boy with shaggy hair grabs Izuku's hands in a friendly manner. "My name is Shindo! It must have been rough with all the trouble at UA this year, huh?" Before Izuku could respond, Shindo went to your other classmates one by one. "But in that way, you were all able to strengthen your resolve to become heroes, right? Marvelous!! I believe that all heroes need to have that fortitude of spirit!!"

Wow. This guy has such a straightforward and refreshing personality. You're going to be competing against this guy soon, and yet, he's being friendly with examinees who don't go to his school. 

Shindo turned to you and smiled. "And among them, the one at the center of the Kamino incident, the daughter of All Might, Hikari Yagi... your spirit is as strong as your father's."

That's right. After the Kamino incident, almost everyone in Japan found out that you are the daughter of All Might and Hope. Either that info was leaked by one of the members of the League of Villians, or the reporter who was following the battle that ended your dad's career found out and reported the fact to the country.

Shindo raises his arm, offering a hand shake. "It's our privilege to stand alongside you all today. We will do our very best."

Before you could accept the cool guy's hand shake, Katsuki smacks Shindo's hand away from you and wraps his arm around you. "Screw off, shitface. The words coming out of your mouth don't match up with that look on your face."

"Katsuki, don't be rude!" You reprimanded your boyfriend before giving Shindo an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry for my boyfriend's impoliteness..."

"It's all right!! Just proof of how strong his spirit is!" He points his thumb at the blonde girl with pointed teeth. "You know, me and Tatami are also dating."

"Oh, really?" You turned towards Tatami.

She nodded. "Yep. Hey, can I get your autograph? You were so cool at the Sports Festival!"

"I can give you my autograph, too, if you want!" Mineta offered Tatami.

"Hey, change into your costumes and we'll head over to the information session." Ms. Joke ordered her students.

They all did as their teacher said. As you and your classmates also left, a thought crossed your mind. The UA Sports Festival. It was broadcasted on live TV which means that everyone taking the provisional license exam know all about you and your classmates' Quirks, strengths, weaknesses, and fighting styles. They have the advantage. 

After changing into your hero costumes, you and  your classmates went to the information session. The room's filled with numerous examinees in their hero costumes. 

A tired man in a suit stood at the podium and begins to speak. "Er... well then, let us begin that provisional license thing. All right. Umm... my name is Mera, and I am from the Hero Public Safety Commission. My favorite form of sleep is quiescent sleep. Good to meet you all. My work has been so busy I've hardly been able to sleep... there's just not enough manpower...! I  want to sleep! All right. With that out of the way, let me explain this to you all." 

Is this guy okay? Someone needs to give this man a break. He looks like he's going to pass out at any moment!

"There are 1,540 of you here taking this exam. We'll carry out an exercise to whittle down your numbers. In today's day and age, we are said to be living in a hero-saturated society. Ever since Stain's capture, there are many who question the current state of affairs with heroes. As an individual, no matter what the motive, to put your life on the line to save others, but "Don't seek anything"... That is the merciless expectation of today's society... in any case, be it for compensation or out of pure heroism, many heroes have endeavored and dedicated themselves to rescuing others and suppressing villians. From the beginning of an incident to its resolution, that window of time is becoming increasingly small and tight. All of you who receive a provisional license will be plunged into the rapids. For those who can not keep up with that speed, I'll say it clearly - It is relentless. Therefore, what's being tested is your speed! The first 100 examinees who achieve the required conditions will pass."

The examinees in the room gasped.

"Wait, hold on a second. There're 1,540 of us, right? That's like 5% of us, isn't it?!!" Shouted one of the examinees. 

"Well, a lot has happened recently in the world..." Mera responds drowsily. "Just think of it as the hand you've all been dealt."

"Is he serious?! Exclaimed another student. 

"And so, I'll tell you about the passing conditions." Mera pulls out a ball and a small metal disk. The screen behind Mera turns on and shows a diagram as he explains. "These. Every examinee will have three targets. You can place them whereever you would like, but it must be an exposed area. Places like the soles of your feet or your armpits are not allowed. You'll each get 6 balls to carry. If a ball hits a target, the target will light up. If all three of your targets get lit up, you lose. An individual who lands the third hit will be credited with a "Takedown". Those who have at least two takedowns pass. Those are the rules."

This isn't anything like the entrance exam... going against actual people is entirely different from going against robots! The numbers of balls you get is pretty tight. They want you all to follow a strategy where you wait and try to snatch the third target! Compared to the entrance exam, these rules are severe!

"Well then... once the expansion is complete, balls and targets will be distributed to you all. We'll start one minute after you have all spread out."

You had no idea what "expansion" he was talking about until the room suddenly opened up. Your jaw dropped the the floor and your eyes grew wide as saucers as you gaped at your new setting. You all were now in the middle of a stadium with different terrains around you at an outrageously large-scale.

"All of you should be able to find a terrain that works for you, I think. Make the most of what you have, and do your best! At least, that's how I think about this reveal. In any case, it may be a bit excessive. Because all this, I haven't been able to sleep..."

The staff members of the exam handed you your balls and three targets. You placed one target on your left shoulder, the second target on your navel, and the third was placed on your right upper arm. Izuku suggested you all stay together, but you were already running in another direction with Katsuki, Eijiro and Kaminari following you. It's not like you were abandoning the rest of your classmates or anything, you just thought that it wouldn't be a good idea to stay close to all of your classmates. You wanted to go to a terrain that has fire or water, but you didn't know if such a terrain was here or not, so you went in the direction of a city terrain instead. As the four of you stood on a highway bridge, looking for students who are taking the exam, your fellow red haired friend shouted.

"Bakugou, watch out!" Eijiro pushed Katsuki and a large fleshy finger clings to Red Riot. 

As the weird lump of flesh absorbs him, it carried him to a slit-eyed Shiketsu student with purple hair. Kirishima is now a mutated meatball in the student's hand.

"No, Kirishima!" Kaminari cried out.

You stare at Eijiro's grotesque form in utter shock before staring daggers at the Shiketsu student. "What the heck did you do to Eijiro!?"

"Us students at Shiketsu, we are required to wear our school caps during all of our activities." The purple haired Shiketsu student spoke. "Why, you ask? It's because every action, every gesture we do reflects the rich tradition that adorns Shiketsu High's name." He drops your deformed friend next to his feet. You then noticed the other hideous meatballed students around him. "This is a demonstration. As individuals who have cultivated their sense of duty and dignity long before they even began school, this is the difference in level between us and the lot of uncouth plebians who aspire to become heroes."

"I hate his type." Katsuki says with a grin.

"You're not the only one." You add. "He has a few screws loose. Plus, he didn't even answer my question, let alone tell us his name."

"His eyes are so tiny, he can't recognize the abilities of his opponents..."

"My eyes are not only attractive, but they are plenty large!!" The Shiketsu student retorts. "Also, why would I ever fratenize with such degenerates!?"

"What did you call us, meat freak!?" You snapped.

"Whoa! It's like he's got one of those complexes!" Kaminari exclaims.

"UA High... I have the utmost respect for you all." The Shiketsu jerk puts his hands behind his back and more of those gross fingers appear. "I felt great pride to be ranked alongside your school. But seeing the likes of you class 1-A folks has caused only my esteem for you all to fall..."

"It's that nasty shit again!!" Kaminari warned.

"Shut up!" Your boyfriend barked. "Duty? Dignity? All I'm hearing is your little bitchy mouth running. Enough talk. Come show us what you mean, you wise-ass!"

"Especially you, Bakugou!!" The Shiketsu jerk shouts as the fingers flew towards the three of you. 

 Katsuki shoots a rapid-fire of small explosions that blasted the disgusting limbs away.

"A rapid-fire with my new technique... I call it: AP Shot Auto-Cannon! I reduced the power for use against an actual person, but hey."

"Better yet, damn man!" Kaminari recoiled in fear. "You're hated by pretty much everyone around you for the same reasons, arent'cha..."

The gross flesh that was scattered returned to the Shiketsu student in an instant. After a brief moment, more of the weird flesh was emitted from the guy's arms. "I shall break you with my own hands, and force you to understand... that behaving in a manner appropriate to one's affiliation... is the true definition of dignity!"

What the hell is wrong with this guy?!

"The bastard won't shut up!" The ash-blonde charged towards your opponent. "I'll murder him!"

"Let's go, Kaminari!" You pulled out your Sunflower Whip handle from the inside of your jacket.

You used the handle to create a whip made of fire and you used your Sunflower Whip to protect your teammates from the weird flesh that threaten to turn you all into a ball of ugliness. Kaminari loaded the launcher on his arm and fired a pointer. It unfortunately doesn't hit the Shiketsu jerk.

"I see... a flying projectile." Said the Shiketsu student. "That's an annoying obstruction. I suppose I'll round them all up first."

"Don't you dare..." Katsuki blasted your opponent who blocked it with one of his fleshy fingers. "Ignore me, bitch!"

"Who said I was?"

A piece of flesh suddenly grabs Katsuki from behind. The Shiketsu jerk must've had one of them circle around from under the bridge.

"Now then... I do believe you witnessed what became of Kirishima just a bit earlier, but... if you touch that flesh... it's all over."

Katsuki tried to break free, but it was futile. Before your boyfriend turned into a grotesque meatball like the others, he tossed you and Kaminari each one of his grenades.

"A pitiful sight indeed. Start over and try again next year."

Upon seeing your lover's grotesque meatball form, you and Kaminari stared at your enemy angrily. 

"This is what's referred to as a "show of force". In this exam, only an exceptional minority are permitted to pass, and yet... All Might has retired, and we've reached the turning point of this era. Under normal circumstances, would it not be more suitable to increase the amount of active heroes as much as possible? Which is to say, the hidden implication of this exam is... weeding out the riffraff. The selection to pick out the crop, and take the occupation of "Hero" to a higher dimension, has already begun. That is what I have surmised. And I am in full support of this, which is why... I shall to reject you all as I have been."

"So you're just gonna ignore the objective of the exam itself just for that...?!" You remarked. "You don't think that's kinda strange...?"

"What's strange is that you, Hikari Yagi, are the daughter of All Might and Hope, two of the greatest heroes of our society. Their blood runs through your veins, and yet you showed no proper control of water during the sports festival. You lack more than half of the potential your father and mother has. You allowed those villians to capture you which resulted in the end of your father's career, and to top it all off, you chose a degenerate such as Bakugou to be your lover."

The more this a-hole spoke, the more you wanted to drown him and burn him with a couple of your ultimate moves. You're not as strong as your mother is now nor as your father was before his fight with AFO. You know that, and you also know that you're the reason why you're friends and teachers were put in danger back at the training camp. However, there was no way in hell you were going to let this ass-hat insult your boyfriend!

"Y'know, you're not the only one who talked crap to me just because I'm the daughter of All Might and his partner, Hope." You gritted out. "And yes, I know that I'm not as great as my mom and dad, and I'm basically the reason why the League of Villians attacked my friends at the training camp....but the last thing I want to hear... is a son of a bitch like you talking shit about my boyfriend!! You talk a big deal about dignity and heroes, but let's be honest here, you just like to hear yourself talk and slandering whoever isn't a Shiketsu student. I honestly would rather listen to 12 hours of Mr. Aizawa's boring lectures than listen to you for even a minute. I really wish you'd shut up, damn it!!"

"I am only speaking the truth." The jerk responded. "It would please me... if you both were to reflect on that!"

Fleshy fingers rushed towards you and Kaminari, but you both were ready for that.

"Well, we never asked for your opinion, meat freak!" You yelled back as you and your friend threw both of Katsuki's grenades at the Shiketsu student, making him stumble. "Katsuki gave those grenades to us before you turned him into a meatball. They're not fashion accessories. By wrapping explosive components, Katsuki can create simple grenades."

"Oh, and FYI, mister know-it-all..." Kaminari aimed a finger gun at the pointer that's close to your opponent. "You've just staggered into a pretty interesting position, you know?"

Electricity shoots from your friend's fingertip and only the enemy is electrocuted. While you guys were working on your ultimate moves, Kaminari got the pointers and launcher from Hatsume in the Support Course so that he doesn't hurt his friends and other innocent bystanders. Katsuki did a similar thing. He was under enemy attack, but he avoided large explosions and kept hitting the Shiketsu jerk with his AP Shot Auto-Cannon, which has a restricted range... All to avoid hitting you, Kaminari or the rolled-up Kirishima. 

"Bakugou may be a potty-mouthed asshole, but he's actually more serious than most about this hero thing! That strategy of giving us grenades to get out of a sticky situation... smart, don't you think? Kirishima just jumped into an enemy attack for his friends! He's a good guy to the point of being stupid. And as for Yagi... being the daughter of two pro heroes isn't what makes her awesome. The coolest thing about her is that she works hard, she's a great fighter, she's extremely loyal, she's an awesome friend to have, she loves Bakugou so much that she's able to tolerate his bad attitude! And before you start blaming her for stuff, what happened back at the training camp and what happened to her dad isn't her fault! It's not like she wanted to get kidnapped by bad guys. And for your information, she's one of the top 10 students at UA who has the most potential of becoming a Pro! Anyone who can't see that is a moron! You only heard bits and pieces about us, but go on acting like a know-it-all... Quit dissing my friends, damn it!"

"I'm telling you all to know your place!!!" Shouted the meat freak. 

You changed your flaming Sunflower Whip to aqua and you immediately grabbed him with your whip. "And we're telling you... to stop insulting UA, to stop insulting our friends, and to shut the hell up!!"

The Shiketsu jerk struggled against the bind of your whip. "I... I thought you were a novice when it came to... controlling water...!"

"That was then... this is now!!" You yanked him towards you him and used one of your ultimate moves. "Aqua Pillar!!" You struck your opponent with a massive water pillar, sending him flying. "It looks like your meat prisons get canceled if you take damage. That explains why you only attacked from a distance." You looked at your friend and boyfriend who are now back to normal. "Right, guys?"

"Thanks, Yagi, Kaminari!" Eijiro responds. 

"Sure took your damn time, dumbasses!" Katsuki adds.

"Hey, is that anyway to talk your girlfriend?" You asked with a raised eyebrow as you put your Sunflower Whip away. "Plus, that jerk wouldn't shut up."

"Um, guys!" Denki grabbed your attention and points. "Could you save your lover's quarrel for later!? More people were freed, you know!?"

All three of you shifted your attention to the other students that were freed from the Meatball Quirk. 

Katsuki licks his top lip as he stares at the examinees like they were his prey. "We've got targets."

After gaining the required takedowns, the four of you went to the waiting room where you took off your targets and met up with half of your classmates who passed. Soon, the rest of your classmates passed and you congratulated each of them. While you were finishing your plate of fruit, a few Shiketsu students walked up to you. 

"Yagi." Said a hairy Shiketsu student. 

You put your empty plate down and turned to the hairy individual. "Yes?"

"Shishikura... the slit-eyed boy... did you and your classmates run into him?"

You know he's talking about the guy with the Meatball Quirk. "Yeah... what about him?"

"I knew it...! I'm sure he said a number of impolite things. Probably rubbed you the wrong way, didn't he? He was probably just trying to impress his values on you. He must have just gotten carried away, bumping into someone as famous as you. We'd really like to establish a good relationship with UA. We're sorry."

The hairy Shiketsu student said they want a good relationship with UA, but it obviously doesn't look like it. Not when you were fighting Shishikura and especially not now. As the Shiketsu students walked away, Todoroki called out to Yoarashi. 

"Hold on. You, with the crew cut. Did I do something to you...?"

Yoarashi stops. Then he faces your classmate with a resentful glare. "Ohh...? Well, apologies but... truth is, Endeavor's kid... I hate you and your father both. Since that time, it looks like your demeanor has changed a little bit, but... those eyes of yours... they're the same as Endeavor's."

The hairy Shiketsu student called out to his classmates and Yoarashi went back to his positive enthusiastic personality. You weren't friends with Todoroki, but it was wrong of Yoarashi to treat your classmate like that just because of who his dad is. Just when you were about to storm towards the second Shiketsu student that treated your classmates badly, the same female Shiketsu student from before blocked your path. She has fawn colored hair and dark brown eyes.

"Alright. What problem do you have with me?" You questioned the girl in annoyance with your arms crossed. You were getting sick and tired of these Shiketsu High students. "You've been staring at me before the exam even beginned."

The girl gave you a flirtatious smile as she walked closer to you. "Oh, it's nothing. I just..." She laces her fingers through your red hair. "Really love your hair. To me, your lovely red hair is more special than the other redheads I've seen..." You became more uncomfortable as she pulled you into an affectionate hug. You felt your breasts get smushed by her own and it felt like you were in a scene from a Yuri manga.... a certain someone (Mineta) is obviously having perverted thoughts about the situation you are currently in. The girl leans into your ear and whispered, "Your pretty red hair... reminds me of fresh blood❤️...!

Katsuki yanks you away from the girl's embrace, looking at her with a menacing scowl that says: "Get your damn hands off of her, bitch!" The female Shiketsu student stares at you and your boyfriend for a moment before smirking and returning to her classmates. 

"Your pretty red hair... reminds me of fresh blood❤️...!"

You remembered a girl from the League of Villians who said the same thing. Himiko Toga...

To Be Continued...
