Ta daa. New Chapter. It was kinda hard to write, not because of muse... but because I was spending a lot of time on Destiny 2 stuff. Which will still be going on that grind. Oh well, Enjoy! Reminder, I have a pat reon, look up azndrgn making fanfic. Donators get perks!

This story has been beta by TheMischieviousPuppyDog, Nerymauro, and Ezylrb. THank them for their help in this!

"Are you sure you have everything?" asked Inko one more time as Izuku was getting ready to leave the house to take the entrance exam for U.A. High.

"Yes mom, I triple checked," replied an exasperated Izuku though he didn't mind his mother smothering him like this.

"Alright, good luck," waived Inko, "I know you can do it!"

"Will do!" smiled Izuku as he left. Today was the day!

Izuku arrived at the entrance of U.A., staring at the large building and the equally as large gate. He checked to make sure he had his student ID in his pocket as well as make sure he hadn't lost anything in his backpack during his commute. Izuku didn't get any information from All Might no matter how much he tried to wheedle it out of him. The man's lips were surprisingly zipped tight when it came to U.A.

Izuku closed his eyes as he prepared himself to take the first step to be a hero. Then he heard the sharp familiar voice that snapped him out of it.

"Move to the fucking side, Deku!"

Izuku gave a deadpan expression as he turned around to see Katsuki Bakugo walking towards him, still acting like a delinquent as ever. Though he did notice that Katsuki had gotten more muscular and taller during the past months they were at school, especially his upper body so as to be able to dish out more explosions while dealing with the recoil. Not to mention he seemed to have completely ignored him for the past 10 months.

Izuku merely glanced at the clearly open path around him, his expression clearly painting the picture that Katsuki could easily just walk around him.

"Good morning to you too," said Izuku with a tired tone before the phone inside his pocket rang.

Ignoring Katsuki's follow up, he stepped to the side, standing next to one of the many statues. Katsuki scoffed as he continued on.

Izuku fished out his phone to see several messages waiting for him. One was from Inko wishing him luck again, another from All Might telling him to show the world what he could do, and the two others were from Itsuka and Momo.

"I'm almost there! Wait for me to enter with you!"- Itsuka

"Good morning and good luck, Izuku-kun! I'll be cheering you on! I know you can make it to U.A., and will be waiting for you!"-Momo

Izuku smiled as he saw the messages when he heard a smothered laugh. He looked to the side to see a girl with brown hair going down to her neck, though her bangs framed her face and extended down to her shoulder, currently covering her mouth with her hands. Her cheeks were bulging as she tried to stop herself from laughing.

"I'm sorry," apologized the girl though she still kept her smile, waving her hands in front of her, "But you were standing right next to a funny head sculpture that I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed you standing on the side, looking so relaxed."

Izuku looked to the side to notice that he indeed was standing next to a hero with a pompadour.

"I guess he kind of is," smiled Izuku, noticing the pads on her fingertips as she waved, "But it's better to be smiling than to be nervous for the test, right?"

"Hey you're right!" smiled the girl, "I feel a lot better taking this test than before, Deku-kun!"

Izuku froze for a second before raising his eyebrow, knowing for certain he had never seen this... cute and bouncy girl before.

"Where'd you hear that name?" asked Izuku curiously.

"Ah, from that spiky blonde hair kid earlier. He was kinda loud, and it was easy to overhear his words. He called you Deku, so I kind of assumed you two were friends and that it was your name," she said, raising her hand to scratch the back of her head.

Izuku snorted before replying, "That would be Katsuki Bakugo, whose temper and voice matches his quirk. We've known each other when we were three, but we haven't been friends for a long time. My real name is Izuku Midoriya, but Izuku can also be read as Deku from the characters, which means 'worthless', and has continued calling me that ever since."

"I'm sorry!" paled the girl before bowing, "I didn't know it was an insult! To me, Deku felt like it was short for Dekiru, which means 'capable of doing it'! I'm so sorry."

Izuku smiled as he gently touched the girl's shoulder to push her back up, "It's alright. Though if you put it that way, I don't mind if you call me Deku then. I like the sound of that."

The girl blushed a bit before quickly introducing herself, "I'm Ochako Uraraka. You can just call me Ochako if you're letting me call me by your nickname."

Before Izuku could say anything else, he heard his name being called out and turned just in time for Itsuka Kendo to crash into him, hugging him tightly.

"It's been so long!" said Itsuka as she buried Izuku's face in between her sizable chest, "Have you still been going to master Rekai's place?"

"It's good to see you too," mumbled Izuku from between the valley, "And yes, I went there last night. Itsuka-chan, it's getting harder to breath down here, do you think you could...?"

"Oh, sorry," blushed Itsuka though not really sorry as she let Izuku go so he could breath.

"I'm glad so see you're excited for both the exam and seeing each other," remarked Izuku.

Ochako stood at the sideline, slightly tilting her head in confusion at what was happening.

"Ah, I should introduce you both," said Izuku as he remembered who he was talking to just earlier. Being a good man, he wanted to include Ochako into the conversation.

As the two girls introduced themselves to each other, Izuku reminded them that they needed to go soon. As the trio left while talking with each other, in the background stood a crying midget with large purple balls on his scalp.

"That jerk," cried the midget, "Getting to feel what it's like to be in between those heavenly valley so soon!"

Needless to say, quite a few people avoided him.

For the written portion of the exam, they were given assigned seating as well as writing utensils to prevent cheating. Izuku easily blazed through it, being tied for number one at his middle school as well as studying hard for it. The trio met up for lunch, talking to each other a little before heading towards the auditorium for the practical exam.

As they entered the huge auditorium, the group had to separate as they had been assigned seats. Itsuka pouted but obeyed while Ochako skipped towards her seat, but not before exchanging phone numbers with Izuku and Itsuka.

Izuku went towards his seat and found himself sitting next to Katsuki.

"Must be by school," muttered Izuku as he sat down, looking at the pamphlet all students got before they sat down.

It wasn't long before the lights dimmed a little and the spotlights all shone at one place, the center stage, to reveal the hero Present Mic.

"WELCOME TO MY LIVE SHOW! EVERYBODY SAY HEY!" shouted Present Mic before cupping his ear towards the crowd just to hear nervous silence. Izuku had been debating on whether or not to reply, as well as being excited to see another pro hero.

Present Mic just shook it off, though people could tell he wasn't happy nobody responded by his body language, "WHAT A REGAL RESPONSE! BUT I GOT SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE TOO LISTENERS! SO LISTEN UP EXAMINEES, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE LOWDOWN ON HOW THIS'LL GO DOWN! ARE YOU READY!?"

Present Mic then proceeded to explain how the exam would work, the television behind him playing to help illustrate his point. There were seven examination sites, meaning they would all be randomized into different sites.

"So they don't intend on letting classmates or friends cooperate with each other, huh?" muttered Katsuki as he peeked over to Izuku's ticket number and frowned. He was in site A, as it should be as he was the number one and A was the first letter. Izuku, however, was at site B. As an extra, it suited him, but Katsuki wanted to directly crush Izuku.

Present Mic continued his explanation, using Super Mario Bros villain to help illustrate the point system.

"SO YOUR GOAL IS TO RACK UP A HIGH SCORE! AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ATTACKING OTHER COMPETITORS DIRECTLY OR ANY OTHER ANTI-HERO STUFF, CAUSE THAT'S AGAINST THE RULE, CAPISCE!?"

Once Present Mic finished the explanation, he waited a few seconds to let it sink in. Then he noticed a student stand up and raise his hand.

"Excuse me, may I ask a question?" stated the student, standing tall with combed black hair and a rather rectangular figure, as his jaw, glasses, and eyes were all rectangular shaped.

Present Mic nodded, letting the student continue his question, "On the printout, there are clearly four types of villains labeled! If that was a misprint, then U.A., the most prominent school in Japan, should be ashamed of this mistake! We, the examinees, are here because we wish to become prominent and exemplary heroes!"

"OKAY, OKAY," waved Present Mic, "THANKS FOR THE SPEECH, EXAMINEE 7111. FOR YOU SEE, THAT FOURTH VILLAIN IS WORTH 0 POINTS! HE'S MORE OF AN OBSTACLE, SO TO SPEAK. EVER PLAY SUPER MARIO BROS.? I DOUBT IT, SINCE IT'S RATHER RETRO."

Most of the crowd doubted that there was anyone that had not played or at least heard of the famous game. They were coming out with another Mario Party game soon, and it would be... well people lost track of the number.

"REMEMBER THOSE THWOMPS IN THE GAME? THERE'S A THING LIKE THAT IN EACH AREA! THEIR 'GIMMICK' IS THAT THEY'LL RAMPAGE WHEN IT GETS CROWDED! IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEAT, BUT THERE'S NO REASON TO DEFEAT IT, EITHER! IN FACT, WE'VE RECENTLY DECIDED THAT ANYONE WHO DECIDES TO FACE IT MIGHT LOSE UP TO 75% OF THE SCORE THEY GAINED! NO POINT IN RISKING YOUR CHANCES HERE, RIGHT? GOTTA MAKE THE SMART DECISIONS! I RECOMMEND AVOIDING IT!"

With a flourish, he decided to finish this up, "WELL THAT'S ENOUGH FROM ME! FINALLY, I'LL GIVE YOU LISTENERS A PRESENT – OUR SCHOOL MOTTO! THE HERO NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ONCE SAID: 'A TRUE HERO IS SOMEONE WHO OVERCOMES LIFE'S MISFORTUNE.'

His sunglasses dipped down so he could leer at them for a second, "NOW BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA!"

With a flourish, the screen behind him changed, and a small animation with the letter Plus Ultra appeared before them all.

"NOW THEN, GOOD LUCK SUFFERING!"

As they all began to exit the auditorium and into their assigned buses, Izuku managed to find Itsuka and Ochako.

"Where'd you guys get assigned to? I'm at site E," said Itsuka.

"B," replied both Izuku and Ochako before looking at each other.

"You're at site B too, Deku-kun?" asked Ochako in excitement.

"Deku?" growled Itsuka as she glared at Ochako, her hands beginning to enlarge.

"It's okay," said Izuku, quickly calming down Itsuka, "I allowed her to call me that, since the first thing she thought was that it was a nickname for Dekiru, meaning you can do it."

Itsuka stared at Ochako for a bit before reluctantly putting her hand back down again.

"Sorry," said Ochako as she saw Itsuka's fierce gaze, "I guess I should get used to calling you Izuku again?"

"No, it's alright," smiled Izuku, "Itsuka has always been my closest friend before she had to move away. This is the first time we've actually seen each other since... four years now."

An announcement rang to remind all examinee to quickly board the bus, or forfeit the exam. Itsuka gave Izuku one more hug before dashing towards her bus.

The bus took them to a quick stop to let all students change into what they were most comfortable fighting in before taking them to their examination site. Soon, a hundred students were exiting the bus, standing in front of the entrance. Most were amazed at the site and the construction of a mock city. Not to mention there were seven more like this.

"So you two have been childhood friends?" asked Ochako cheerfully, glad she had someone to talk to. Otherwise, she would've been very nervous about this exam, and possibly mess up. Both of the two were wearing tracksuits, though Izuku had a small medical pouch tied to his belt.

"Yea, we met each other at the same dojo when we were seven. She's always protected me from bullies like a big sister even though we're almost the same age," said Izuku, "Though she didn't really have to, I've always appreciated how she treats others as a big sister if she could. It was through her that I grew out of my shell."

"Aww that's so sweet," gushed Ochako.

Izuku laughed lightly before a hand descended down on his shoulders. Izuku looked back to see it was examine 7111 who was glaring at him slightly.

"What are the two of you doing here?" demanded the student, "This isn't some field trip or a place to flirt! Are you here to hinder others from doing their best in the exam?"

Ochako puffed her cheeks in anger at that accusation while Izuku shrugged the student's hands off his shoulder. He glanced around to see many of the other competitors already judging him and Ochako as the weaker students.

Suddenly, a voice rang out to all seven exam sites.

"BEGIN!"

As the doors suddenly flung open at all seven sites, many of the examines stood at the entrance, completely confused. Izuku, however, did not. He tapped Ochako shoulder and pushed her slightly forward before dashing into the exam site himself. Ochako stumbled two steps forward before understanding what was happening and began running forward.

In site A, Katsuki Bakugo was the first one to launch himself forward while yelling, "Get the fuck out of the way extras!" His was using his quirk to accelerate forward.

In site E, Itsuka was running forward while the people in her group remained confused. She had a promise to keep, and she could tell that Ochako and Izuku were already becoming good friends. She hated to admit it, but she was afraid and jealous she might lose Izuku to her, considering he was letting her call him Deku.

In site D, the same midget with purple balls growing on his scalp was the first one to run forward. He was extremely motivated because of the sight he had seen today and wanted to be one of the blessed men to have their face buried in someone's heavenly valleys. He figured that if he did well, he'd have a better chance.

In site F, a familiar Tsuya Asui hopped into action.

"Hey what is that guy doing, is he stupid?" asked one person from site B, "It hasn't started."

"Wait, didn't we hear a begin?" asked another.

"WHAT'S THE MATTER? THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A COUNTDOWN IN A REAL BATTLE! RUN! SOME PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA!"

When Present Mic announced that, everyone began surging forward into the exam sites, pushing each other as they did.

Izuku, who was far ahead of everyone in the group, was the first one to meet a villain robot that was one of many on the streets ahead.

A one pointer suddenly turned and saw Izuku, it's red eye flashing as it recognized an enemy.

"Target acquired. I'll kill you!" threatened the one pointer as it revved its wheel, speeding towards Izuku.

Several students that heard this hesitated in charging forward. Izuku merely focused as his mind flashed back to yesterday's lesson with master Rekai.

Flashback

Izuku had been preparing for the practical exam, making sure he had everything packed for the day. It would be tomorrow, and he wanted to make sure he was prepared. Then he heard a knock on his door, followed by Inko sticking her head in the room.

"Izuku! Your dojo master is here right now, and wants to see you," said Inko quickly.

"Master Rekai? I'll be right out," promised Izuku, quickly donning a shirt and shorts.

A few minutes later, the two of them were at a nearby park, Rekai and Izuku sitting on a bench.

"So... you're preparing for the hero exam at U.A., correct?" asked Rekai.

"Yea, it'll be my first step to my dream," nodded Izuku.

"I remember the first day you came to my dojo!" barked Rekai with laughter, "You were so timid and scared. Itsuka had to drag you out of that shell before becoming the boy in front of me now. But let's put that to the side. I didn't come here to reminisce about the past."

"Izuku, when and if you enter U.A.'s heroic course, you will most likely not have time to come to my dojo anymore, correct?"

"... Yea, but I'll try to make time," admitted Izuku, "Maybe not three times a week like before, but maybe once a week on Saturdays. I learned a lot from you, and will continue to do so."

"Bah, not like there's much to teach you," scoffed Rekai, "You're the only student that can perform my special footwork, Ghost Perplexing Step, without any problems. Even I can't do it longer than five minutes without straining something. But still... if hero work doesn't work out for you, there's always a place in my dojo for you as an instructor. But enough about that."

Rekai stood up and walked a few steps into an open field, with Izuku following her quickly before she stopped and turned around to face him.

"This test will be something that can make or break you. Don't feel bad if you don't pass it. But I will say if you pass it, you'll definitely be a great hero in the future," stated Rekai with a serious voice."

"What do I have to do?" asked Izuku.

"Just... dodge," announced Rekai, "That's all. I don't care if you can take the hit, but just dodge."

A bit confused, Izuku prepared himself for what was to come. He expected Rekai to lash out and send multiple punches or kicks for him to dodge. What happened next... terrified him.

Suddenly, the air felt colder, as if they were in a snowstorm. The oxygen levels suddenly felt like they decreased, despite being around trees. An oppressive feeling slammed into Izuku as he tried to keep himself awake and standing. Izuku looked at Rekai, who was producing all this... killing intent directed towards him. It didn't matter if he was immune to most blunt force attacks, anything she attacked with would kill him!

Rekai slowly raised her arm up and threw a right straight right towards Izuku's face. Time seemed to slow down for Izuku as the fist approached his face.

'I'm going to die!' thought Izuku, 'She's really going to kill me!'

As he was about to stumble and faint, sweat dripped from his head towards the ground. In each individual sweat, he swore he could see faces in them. There was Momo, Itsuka, All Might, Rekai, Nezu, Gran Torino, all those who believed he could be a hero. All of them seemed to be telling him something. Then the biggest one of them all was his mother, Inko.

"Yes Izuku, you can be one. You could always be one. I'm sorry for not saying it earlier. You can be a hero."

Hearing his mother's voice along with All Might and the others gave Izuku courage and strength in his legs. He began to move his whole body, telling him to dodge. He twisted his head away while his body slowly moved right. What seemed like hours later, Rekai's fist passed by Izuku's face by millimeters. Had Izuku not moved or moved any slower, the punch would have certainly hit.

"Good," smiled Rekai as the oppressive feeling dissipated. Even though she was blind, Izuku could tell that she knew he was sweating like a pig.

"What was that!?" gasped Izuku as he finally collapsed on his butt, wiping the sweat off his head with his short sleeves before giving up and stripping his shirt off to wipe his sweat out of his face.

"Killing intent," intoned Rekai, "Though I doubt you'll have anything like this in your exam tomorrow, it would be best if you get used to it. When you face a villain who wants to kill you, you can't risk freezing up like you almost did just now. You may not face anyone with such killing intent anytime soon, but the fact that villains will be aiming to kill you when you try to stop them."

Izuku nodded in understanding as he managed to stop his body from perspiring. Even if Rekai's attack wouldn't have truly hurt him, he understood that Rekai's lesson was that he could not afford to freeze up when going into the heroic world.

Flashback ends

Izuku gritted his teeth in excitement as he jumped into the air while the one point villain began to fire bullets from its hand. The robot began to adjust its aim, but Izuku flipped in the air, stretching his legs 10 meters long and landed an ax kick, destroying its head. After landing it, he stretched his arm, grabbing a 3 pointer villain before dragging it and making it crash into a two-pointer, where they both blew up. Quickly scanning, he saw a two-pointer on the roof of a building right before the cross street, aiming its gun on its tail at him. He quickly dodged the bullets with his footwork, making it difficult for the villain bot to aim before stretching his arm towards the roof and grabbed the ledge. Making sure his grip was firm, he launched himself towards the two-pointer and through it. Hovering in the air for a moment, he saw a group of six villain bots, 2 of each point values, all gathered together. Quickly flinging his arms to the nearest buildings, he flung himself right towards the group.

Ochako, who had been ahead of the group, and the other student who had just been chastising the two, reached the cross street and turned just in time to see Izuku sending a barrage of punches towards the group of robots, his arm stretching as they landed punches strong enough to destroy the group of bots.

As destruction ensued, Izuku landed just as the last villain bot blew up, framing his body in light and shadow.

'So cool,' gazed Ochako before blinking and blushing, quickly slapping herself and going in a different direction than Izuku. She knew that going the same direction as Izuku would lower her chances of going into U.A., and she wanted to make it in so she could be in the same class as Izuku... she waved a mental hand through that thought process. She was doing it because she wanted to earn enough money to let her family live in peace!

Tenya Iida, the stiff one with a quirk, Engine, stiffened as he saw the destruction before using his quirk to speed in another direction from Ochako and Izuku. He slightly chastised himself for underestimating the two, as they were the first ones to bolt into action.

"Let's see, 19 points! Sweet!" cheered Izuku before running off into another direction. The crowd arrived at the crossroads, took a look around to see the destruction, and the majority chose to run away from the path of destruction, knowing there would most likely less points there. Some chose where Izuku went, making a gamble since there were fewer people then. One examinee with white hair, a mask, and multiple tentacles, took Izuku's path but climbed up the ceiling to observe where there were more villain bots.

Meanwhile, in the observation room, the staff of U.A. High were monitoring the situation in each site with a very large and widescreen with multiple windows open. Each window was monitoring a student or a situation to allow the staff to know the current situation as well as pass judgment. After all, this exam tested insight, mobility, decision making, and fighting prowess, the basis needed to preserve peace in the cities.

"Quite a crop this year, isn't it?" noted a female with a husky tone that would make many men fall prey to it.

"No, not quite," rasped Toshinori in his true form, smirking as he flicked open the protective barrier covering the big red button. "Their true test has yet to come." With that statement, Toshinori pressed the red button.

As they saw the titanic form of the fourth villain bot come forth in all testing sites, one staff who looked like a cement block raised a question.

"I know traditionally in the past, we just recommended students to avoid the 0 pointers. We've never actually told them that they deducted points in the past. So why the trickery now?"

"To reveal their true nature," said Toshinori, "When faced with an impossible obstacle with a severe penalty, their true self comes forth." He frowned when he saw students fleeing from the villain, some even pushing others in hope of escaping. However, he smiled triumphantly when he saw his successor act exactly as he thought he would.

Rewind a few minutes earlier

"And that's 62!" grinned Izuku as he kicked a 3 pointer rocket launcher away from him and into another robot before putting a fist through its core. As he pulled his fist back out, he looked around to see others destroying more and more villain bots. He saw one creeping up to another contestant, who whirled around and tried to attack back, but the villain bot was faster. Or would've been if Izuku had not kicked a piece of the destroyed bot right into it, damaging and forcing the attacker to stumble, but not enough to be destroyed and be counted towards Izuku's points. The defender quickly took advantage of this and destroyed the robot, yelling out "21!" before running to find another one. He didn't even thank Izuku or look around to see who helped, but Izuku didn't mind. Izuku knew he could've gotten those points, and even more points than his current score if he didn't stop to assist others from being hurt via sneak attacks or underestimating the situation. It was just in his nature to help others when they were in trouble, just like All Might would.

Another thing was that he had yet to use One for All. Call it stubbornness or pride, but Izuku wanted to past the exam with just his original quirk. There was no point in using One for All as he was not in a life or death situation.

"TWO MINUTES LEFT!" shouted Present Mic to remind them all of the time.

"Well then, on the next area," muttered Izuku as he was about to slingshot himself to a rooftop when he felt the ground rumble. He looked towards the source to see a group of examinees and an ever-growing dust cloud. Everyone felt it and looked up to see a giant machine towering over most of the buildings. Its armor green plating and red eyes looked threatening as it raised its fist and slammed it into the ground. The force of its punch produced a shock wave, causing many to shield their eyes as the dust flew past them.

'Holy crap that's big,' thought Izuku as he slowly lowered his arms just to see people fleeing past him.

"I'm sorry! I boasted I could beat games without purchasing in-game apps, but I always did!" cried a student.

"The only reason why I bullied you so much was because I liked you!" cried another girl as she fled.

'Ok...," thought Izuku as he heard a few more confessions, 'It's not like it's the end of the world.'

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a faintly familiar voice.

"Ow..."

Izuku narrowed his eyes as the dust cleared just in time to see Ochako struggling to get out of the wreckage the villain bot had caused. A piece of the wreckage had landed right on top of her leg, and she couldn't escape. Izuku could see several others trying to escape, but injured due to the first shockwave.

Without hesitation, Izuku ran forward, bypassing Tenya as he did so.

'What is he doing?' thought Tenya as he turned his head to look back, 'Did he forget that fighting the fourth villain bot causes you to lose a lot of your points? He's... oh. Ohhh shit.'

Izuku wasn't aiming to fight, though. He stretched his arms, grabbing random people and quickly tossing them gently back to safety before reaching Ochako. All those grabbed were able to land safely on their feet before running away, not even saying thanks.

"Deku-kun!" coughed Ochako.

"Don't worry, I got you," said Izuku as he gave a smile. Quickly punching the wreckage to free her leg, he noticed the huge robot getting awfully close. He quickly ran, carrying Ochako bride style, barely dodging the fist, but kept running.

"No! Get away!"

Izuku looked back to see another student with a bald cut and jumpers crying while trying to crawl away as the giant robot's hand began to descend down on him. He began to quickly formulate plans, trying to see if there was any way to rescue him. All but one would be successful, though. There were too many students that were slowly limping away, but wouldn't be fast enough unless he went with this plan.

"Here, take her to safety," said Izuku to Tenya, who had stopped to look at what Izuku was doing.

"Wait... Deku-kun what are you doing!?" cried Ochako as she felt herself being put onto Tenya's hands.

"Indeed, we must leave!" insisted Tenya before noticing the other student in trouble.

"Doing what's right," smiled Izuku as he turned around.

'One for All... 60%!' Izuku mentally commanded as he finally used One for All. This was no longer just him racking points, but to protect others from harm. He chose 60% as he could control his speed without overshooting or having too much tunnel vision.

"No.. NO! Wait! DEKU-KUN!" screamed Ochako, inadvertently causing all those fleeing to stop and turn around in curiosity.

She tried to reach out her hands, hoping to touch Izuku with all five of her fingers and use her quirk to stop him. His back seemed so big and protective, so easy to touch. However, all she touched was air as Izuku dashed forward in speed that shocked Tenya.

"Nooo!" cried the skinhead as the giant hand was approaching, cowering he adopted a fetal position. Then he felt someone rush past him and heard metal bending. He looked up to see Izuku standing above him, his right hand hitting the robot's hand in a tiger fist strike. The giant robot stumbled back a bit before trying to attack once more. Izuku wouldn't let it.

Izuku jumped into the air with stretching his arms back towards the ground, going until he was face to face with the giant robot, his arms stretching 30 meters behind him now.

"One for All," stated Izuku, his eyes narrowed in concentration, "100%!"

"There's no merit in taking that faux villain, especially when there's such a huge point deduction," stated Toshinori, now grinning like crazy at what he was seeing, "But that in itself creates an opportunity... For those to rise up to the challenge. For it to shine brightly and rise up to the surface!"

The U.A. staff leaned forward in nervousness and eagerness as they saw Izuku jumping forward without fear.

Izuku's body began to glow as red veins of powers flowed through his whole body, electricity seemingly jumping out from his body and wrapping around him, arcing all over the place.

Memories of his training with All Might, encouragements from all his friends, Rekai's teachings, his mother's love, all flashed through his mind as he knew what he was doing. He was chucking 75% of his points down the drain, but he didn't care. He would rather risk his chances of getting into his dream school and promise than let anybody else get hurt, knowing he had the power to stop it. What use was strength and power if he didn't use it to protect others? If he could do something and make a difference?

From the depths of his heart, he yelled out his attack, knowing the repercussions and still going through with it.

"Sotenshu Smash! (Double Palm Strike Smash!)"

His arms quickly shot back towards his body, quickly shrinking and gaining momentum like a rubber band before Izuku smashed two palms right into the faux villain's face.

"That's right! For there is nothing more nobler, more truer in any true hero, the most important part of any hero, than the spirit of self-sacrifice!" announced Toshinori as he saw Izuku use One for All to protect others, even at the cost of his own points. He resisted the urge to transform, though his smile grew even bigger.

The robots head was blown clean off from its body, flying in the air. The student audience gazed in shock as the robot's back reeled back from the impact parts of its body began to explode, unable to counteract such force, overextending it's balancing module.

The attack was heard from all the sites, who looked towards it just to see a head flying off into the distance before tumbling into the ground before being stopped by U.A's, sturdy walls, where it promptly blew up.

As Izuku landed, everyone at exam site B stared at Izuku as the 0 pointer continued to explode behind him. He walked to the skin head, quickly asking if he was alright before helping him up.

"Deku...," cried Ochako as he came near her.

"Are you alright?" asked Izuku as he got some bandages and wrappings out from his utility belt.

"My right ankle... it hurts," admitted Ochako.

Izuku swiftly put the wrapping around her ankle, reinforcing the tendons with it.

"This'll help until we get you to a doctor," said Izuku, "I'll take her from here."

"TIMES UP!" announced Present Mic to all seven sites.

As Tenya numbly gave Ochako back to Izuku, he heard people whispering about Izuku and his strength. As some said that maybe Izuku just wanted to prove his strength, he resisted the urge to march over there and correct them. They clearly weren't paying attention as Izuku, instead of choosing to flee, chose to help as many people to safety before deciding that the safest option for everyone was to destroy the machine, and he did this without hesitation.

'Of course, if this wasn't an exam, I would've done the same and helped save people,' thought Tenya to himself before realizing just how hollow that sounded. He could've easily done that with his speed, and perhaps Izuku wouldn't have needlessly sacrificed his points! In fact, he was sure he could've gotten to the skin head and escape easily with his speed. Instead, he was too busy worried about possibly losing most of his points and risking people's lives for points.

As he was busy berating himself, Recovery Girl was on the scene. One of the flashy examine with a belt gave a short intro about who Recovery Girl was while she offered Haribo candy to a few people. When she reached Ochako and Izuku, she glanced at Ochako's ankle.

"Hmm, not bad," noted Recovery Girl, "You wrapped that ankle nicely. Let me deal with the rest."

With that, she kissed Ochako's hand, letting her quirk heal Ochako's ankle.

"I swear, these exams are getting more and more dangerous each year," grumbled Recovery Girl before looking at Izuku, "Need any help?"

"I'm fine," waved Izuku, "There are several others I didn't get the chance to look at yet."

Recovery Girl nodded before trotting off to help the others. Mentally, she knew that Izuku would be a shoe-in for the Heroic course, but there was no point in spoiling that surprise.

"Deku-kun," whispered Ochako as she stood up, putting her hand on his chest.

"Don't worry, I'll make it all up from the theoretical and academic portion," smiled Izuku before giving a little laugh, "Shishishi."

Tenya and Ochako easily saw through the laugh, but were unable to do anything as they were pushed back into the bus.

A few silent minutes later, they were back at the U.A. entrance and free to go.

"Sorry, Ochako, I know we said we would spend some time together with Itsuka, but...," said Izuku before trodding away.

"Deku," whispered Ochako, her heart almost broken.

"Uraraka-san!" waved Itsuka as she approached Ochako, "Where's Izuku?"

"Kendo-san," said Ochako mournfully, causing Itsuka to freeze at the sight of her face. Before she could ask what happened, the same skinhead that Izuku rescued walked by with his friends.

"Haha, I was worried about that kid with green hair, freckles, and extendable limbs," laughed the skin head, "But he did us all a favor and attacked the big villain robot! Now his chance of getting in is lower while mine is higher! I heard he got sixty-something points before attacking it! Now it's in the tens while I got 48 points! What an idiot!"

Ochako snapped and stormed right to the skinhead's face, "You jerk! Deku sacrificed his points to save you and the others! What right do you have to call him stupid!"

"Well if he was smart enough," sneered the skinhead, "Then he should've known that we were never really at risk. Sure he charged forward, but he should've used his brain to realize that it was just a hoax! They would've never really hurt us! Then again, maybe he's all brawn and no brain."

"Says the one who was crying for his mommy in a fetal position!" shouted Ochako.

"Why you little," growled the skinhead, "I'll kick your ass!"

"You'll have to deal with me," intervened Itsuka as she stepped forward.

"Ooh, two little girls, wanting to compete with the big boys, huh?" laughed the skinhead as his two friends stepped forward.

"Huh, you wanna fight?" said one

"HUH!?" exclaimed the other with a sneer.

"Enough," said Tenya waving his arms in a chopping motion, "We should not be fighting here, at such a prestigious academy!"

"Screw off four eyes," waved one of them.

Before the situation could escalate, another voice rang out.

"Oy, Huh-huh brothers, you're being idiots," said a male with messy purple hair

"Huh?"

"Yes you."

"Huh!?"

"Keep going."

"HAAAAH!?"

The trio turned around to the source of the voice before suddenly freezing up, their eyes glazed over.

"Walk back home idiots," said the student.

They obeyed, stumbling forward in a daze.

"Thanks," said Ochako, a bit confused at what had happened.

"Nothing to thank for, they were blocking my way," grunted the purple hair student before walking away.

"Uraraka-san, what happened?" asked Itsuka.

Ochako almost broke into tears as she gave the story to Itsuka, who could only grip her fists in anger and helplessness. It was just in Izuku's nature to help others when needed, even if it endangered his own self.

When Ochako finished, she immediately made up her mind and stormed towards the U.A. building, hoping to find a staff member. They would hear what she had to say. Itsuka quickly gave chase to Ochako, with Tenya following the two. He also made up his mind on what to do to repay Izuku for his own selfishness.

Meanwhile, a man with shaggy hair and bags under his eyes stared at the commotion before mentally memorizing the purple hair kid's face.

Momo was sitting in front of her desk, reading some advanced chemistry books to further her quirk. She peeked at her cellphone and noted it was roughly time that U.A. High finished their entrance exam and excitedly waited for Izuku to text her. She was so sure that he was going to get in, and they had plans to eat dinner together at a nice restaurant, her treat as it was a tad expensive, as well as to celebrate.

Her phone vibrated, which she quickly and giddily picked it up. She quickly started reading the text, her smile slowly disappearing as she read the text. Finishing with it, she quickly jumped out of her bed, changing clothes as swift as possible.

"Mom, I'm going out!" Momo shouted as she donned a jacket to finish her attire and shoved her feet into her boots.

She quickly ran to the one place she was sure Izuku would be at.

Izuku sat on the shores of Dagaboh Beach, watching the sunset as the waves gently lapped the shores. Every now and then, a piece of trash would come up, and Izuku would just stretch his arms to grab it and toss it into the nearby trash can. He wasn't too worried about trash building up here, as the nearby community had decided to actively patrol the beaches for trash now that it was down to a manageable level.

Still, Izuku watched the shores with cloudy eyes as he thought back to the exam. He didn't regret his choice, but thinking back now, would U.A. really have killed some students? The bullets most of the villain bots had fired were rubber bullets, made to incapacitate. He had forgotten about Recovery Girl, who could have just healed most if not all the students. Add the fact there had been no casualties in the past, it was highly unlikely the skinhead was actually in danger. Still, it hurt that he ruined his own chances in getting into U.A. now. His dream and promise now hinged on his choice, and he felt like he would be failing All Might if he didn't get in.

His mother just hugged him when he came back home in tears, unable to do anything but let him cry on her shoulder. Afterward, Izuku just dropped his items and left for the beach.

"Guess this would make Bakugo happy if I didn't make it in," chuckled Izuku with a depressing tone, "He did say he wanted to be the only one to make it in."

Standing up, Izuku took off his sandals and waded down the water, letting it lap over his ankles. He looked towards the setting sun, letting it's warmth wash over him as he pondered what to do next.

"There are other schools with Heroic courses," debated Izuku to himself, "Their exams don't start until later in the month, I could always go for those. Shiketsu High has the same prestige as U.A., but it's so far away. Not to mention expensive as I'd probably have to rent a dorm there."

Izuku said this himself to hype himself up, but all it did was hurt him even more. Unable to contain his emotions, he began to kneel down and almost cry once more. He wanted to go to U.A. Heroics with Itsuka, Momo, and Ochako!

"Izuku-kun!"

Izuku slowly turned around to see Momo wading into the water, already having tossed her boots away to keep them dry.

"Momo-chan," whispered Izuku as she reached Izuku.

"I read your text," said Momo as her breath heaved, aware it was making her already prominent chest go up and down, enough to hypnotize many men or women, depending on taste, yet Izuku did not seem to notice. "Please, explain to me how you think you didn't get in. Was it the written portion? The practical? I refuse to believe that someone with your skill and smarts would be unable to get in."

The two of them waded out of the ocean water, Momo dragging Izuku by the hand, where Momo produced some towels with her Quirk to dry themselves off.

Momo listened patiently as Izuku described to her what had happened. After finishing his tale, Momo was left to ponder about it deeply before it finally clicked on her.

"Oh Izuku," said Momo softly as she gave him a hug, "You're so kind, always watching out for others. But if you think about it more, then you'll find the answer. I know you made it in."

"Huh?" asked Izuku, unable to form an intelligent reply.

Momo gave a soft giggle, her chest moving a bit as they pressed on his body. Izuku had to fight back a blush, now very aware of her chest.

"Tell me, what makes a hero... well a hero? What defines their actions?" asked Momo.

"A hero is one that can save others, even at the cost of their own safety," answered Izuku automatically, "It's not measured by the size of his/her power, but rather the strength of their heart. The courage to go beyond, like All Might."

"Exactly," smiled Momo as she pulled back, "Do you think a prestigious school like U.A. would overlook something like that? I'm sure the examiners were closely monitoring each examinee to not only verify the amount of points each examinee got, but to also check the aptitude of the examinee's quirk. Do you really think that the U.A. would fail someone who can take out a giant robot that had many fleeing, but did so to protect everyone else? I doubt All Might nor any other heroes would agree with their decision to fail you!"

"So the last boss...," trailed off Izuku.

"Most likely just a lie," finished Momo, "There has to be something else within the system. It can't just be solely comprised of Villain points."

As Izuku pondered about this, Momo hugged Izuku once more, "Plus, if my analysis is false and you don't get in, I would be severely disappointed and reject their offer. I will not go to a school that does not embody the true meaning of a hero."

"Momo-chan," said Izuku softly as Momo wrapped her hands around him.

The two of them stayed there for a bit, their faces gazing at each other until...

"Izuku!"

"Deku-kun!"

"Which name is it!? I cannot tell which one it is if you two say different names! Unless his full name is Izuku Deku!?"

Izuku and Momo quickly jumped in shock and separated from each other before looking towards the source of the voices. Izuku was surprised to see Itsuka, Ochako, and Tenya all looking for him.

"Izuku!" shouted Itsuka as she found him before rushing towards him, giving him a big hug, "Don't run off like that!"

"What are you guys doing here?" asked a puzzled Izuku, "And how'd you know I'd be here?"

"I asked Inko-obasan where you might be," replied Itsuka, "These two wanted to come with me."

"Indeed, I am Tenya Iida," announced Tenya to Izuku, "I wished to come so I could apologize for my actions earlier, both prior and during the exam!"

"And I wanted to see if you were alright," added Ochako, "Deku-kun, I know that'll you'll make it! There's no way they wouldn't let you in after seeing you beat up that giant robot!"

"Izuku, who are these people?" asked Momo.

The trio turned around to Momo, just noticing her now.

"Ah, Momo-chan, these are my friends," introduced Izuku, quickly getting out of Itsuka's hug before making some gestures, "This is Itsuka Kendo, my childhood friend. The other two are Ochako Uraraka and as you heard, Tenya Iida. They were all examinees at the exam with me. Everyone, this is Momo Yaoyorozu."

As Tenya gave his greetings, Itsuka could not help but narrow her eyes at Momo. Giving her a quick lookover, she knew a competitor when she saw one. She saw how close Momo had been standing next to Izuku, and how they called each other by their first name, showing close familiarity.

Ochako felt conflicted and confused. Her feminine senses told her Itsuka was interested in Izuku, and was fine with that. Now, after seeing Izuku in action and saving her life, she became interested in Izuku. She wasn't quite sure if she was just falling for Izuku hard or just had a crush, but it was there. And now there was another girl involved now, one just as interested. Ochako took a glance at both Itsuka and Momo's body and knew it was an uphill battle in terms of appearance. But it was one she wasn't going to give up.

Momo was in the same boat as the rest of the girls. She had seen just how hard Itsuka had hugged Izuku, and what the meaning conveyed. A simple friendship hug and a 'I'm interested in you, but you're too dense' hug was far different. It was a hug she herself had been using, too. She could also tell Ochako was also interested in Izuku too, but wasn't quite there yet.

While the three girls were having a silent war, Izuku was too busy talking with Tenya.

"Again, I feel like I must apologize for my behavior," said Tenya as his arms made a chopping motion, "I should not have assumed that you and the Ochako were there for fun! Especially since those first few seconds opened my eyes! And also the fact you risked your chances of getting in U.A. just to make sure everyone was safe! I may have been nervous, but that does not excuse my behavior! I could have helped in the rescue options with my speed, but I was too worried about myself!"

"It's alright, Iida-kun," chuckled Izuku, "No harm, no foul."

"By the way," said Tenya as he turned towards Momo, breaking the silent war between the three girls, "Are you part of the Yaoyorozu family that owns many financial institutions? And if you are, are you visiting? I thought the main family lived at the Aichi prefecture, which is quite far from here."

"Yes, my father and mother are the CEO and COO of the company," admitted Momo, causing the two girls to wince at the fact she was rich, "I am currently residing at a home nearby, though."

"She's going to U.A.," piped in Izuku, "She got in via recommendation! Isn't that amazing?"

"Indeed!" stated Tenya, "To get into such a prestigious school by recommendation is no easy feat! May I ask which recommendation you were given, academic or physical?"

"Academic," replied Momo, "Though I did get a good grade in the physical course."

Itsuka felt the path to Izuku become encumbered by obstacles everywhere. Rich, smart, talented, and a rocking body to boot. Though her body wasn't something to write off either. The one real advantage she had was that she knew Izuku better, and being a childhood friend meant special access to his house if needed.

Ochako felt like her uphill fight just became a mountain to scale, but rather than giving up, her spirit was burning to conquer that mountain.

Somewhere back at Izuku's house, Inko's mother senses rang. She looked out the window and gave a rather scary grin.

"My potential daughter-in-law senses are ringing!" laughed Inko, "I sense the chance to have lots of grandbabies to spoil! Oh Izuku, you player, getting the attention of more than one girl! Don't worry, I'll teach you how to woo them all!"

Suddenly, Izuku's stomach growled in hunger. Everyone looked at him as he gave a slight blush, ready to snicker when their stomachs also growled in hunger. Everyone looked to their own stomachs in embarrassment before they all started to laugh.

"Come on, let's go eat! Most of us have just finished a hard practical and taxing practical!" smiled Izuku as he gave a quick text to his mother that he would be eating out with friends. A reply text came back insisting that he eat with friends.

"Ooh, is there an all you can eat buffet around here?" asked Itsuka, "I haven't been here in so long!"

"All you can eat?" Ochako shyly and nervously asked. She wasn't sure if she had enough in her budget for such a thing, as they tended to be pricey.

"Can I came too, even though I didn't take the exam?" asked Momo.

"Of course!" nodded Izuku while the others nodded.

Her smile grew bigger as her eyes shone brightly before she raised her hand in the hand in excitement.

"Yaa! I know a buffet place nearby! It's at downtown and slightly pricey, but it'll be my treat!" cheered Momo, her personality becoming cheerful as 'bouncy bounce' vibes started to emit from her.

'It's like she just slapped us with just how rich she is, but at the same time, her bounciness is so cute that it makes it alright,' thought Izuku, Itsuka, and Ochako.

"Yaoyorozu-san! You must let me help pay for some of it!" demanded Tenya, "This is the perfect chance for me to make reparations and show that I am not a man with just mere words, but action! My family is well off too!"

In the end, they all went to an all you can eat Korean BBQ.

Back at U.A., Toshinori Yagi was in high spirits. After seeing his successor in action, it was difficult for him to hold back transforming in reaction to Izuku's action to save others despite the 'penalty'. Of course, that was false, but it did indeed reveal several people's true nature. When Aizawa Shota reported back, surveying the students after the exam, Toshinori also had to resist pounding the brat that made fun of his successor. Speaking of surveillance...

"I want this kid in my class," stated Shota, his scraggly hair all over his face, as he tossed a file to Nezu.

Nezu raised an eyebrow as he saw Hitoshi Shinso's file on his desk. Quickly pulling up the scores, he saw the Shinso only got eight villain points in total, and though the rescue points had yet to be fully accounted for, he doubted that Shinso got too many. He remembered seeing this face during the exam at Site G and didn't see any events that would've gotten him too many rescue points. Of course, the skinhead would be the first person in history to receive negative rescue points for his comments.

Still, he opened the file to check Shinso's quirk and fully raised his eyebrows.

"Brainwash," muttered Nezu, "Quite a useful Quirk indeed. This exam did not allow his Quirk to fully shine, though he could have done better in terms of rescue points. Very useful in rescue missions or even negotiations against villains."

"He helped defuse a fight," stated Shota, "I'd say that earns him some rescue points."

"Not to play devil's advocate here," said Toshinori, inserting himself in the conversation, "But does the young man have what it takes to keep up with the Heroics Course? I'm looking through his file right now, and his physical abilities are not as impressive as most of the students we are considering for the Heroics Course. There was even a girl who's quirk looks like it is just invisibility, and she achieved 20 villain points and 25 rescue points. Granted she could sneak up on most of the robots that couldn't see her, but in terms of physical ability, she is far superior to him."

Nezu could only nod in agreement at that logic.

"I'll train him up then," said Shota bluntly, "Get him up to par."

"Within two months?" asked Toshinori, "Even I would have trouble training someone up to par."

'Though not with Izuku,' Toshinori mentally added.

"I will... think about it," nodded Nezu, "I have been thinking about expanding the Heroics course from the usual forty students, but the budget, as well as the load on the teacher, will be greater."

Nezu pondered for a while longer while the two teachers leaned in to hear his decision.

"Aizawa-kun, I will consider your request after we completely review over his test scores and practical scores," stated Nezu, "There will be rescue points added in for separating a fight, but it may not be enough. Depending on his test score and his willingness to put the effort, I will consider putting him as a reserve student. However, I have two conditions. One, when you test them in the Quirk Apprehension Test, Shinso must not place in last place. I know with his quirk, it would be unfair, but we have someone who's quirks make them invisible, and it could be clearly seen that she has trained hard."

"Fair enough," nodded Shota, "What's the second one?"

"The second one is the most important one of all," stated Nezu as he leaned forward, his eyes shaded by shadow. Shota leaned forward even more, showing that he was listening. "You... must have your students attend the orientation first!"

Shota almost face-faulted at this condition, but Nezu continued, "You know we have 40 reserve seating in the gym for students in the heroic courses! We always buy them watches and writing utensils as a gift for being able to get in! But every time, we have to throw half of them away or reuse them because you always keep on doing the same thing! I don't mind you expelling students that won't succeed, but wait until after we give them gifts! Especially this year because we have to order a new batch as we already used up the 20 in reserve last year because we knew you weren't taking Class A to the orientation ceremony again!"

"... Ok," promised Shota, slightly backing off from the ranting principal. He decided not to push on his buttons for a while.

"So you're living around here Ochako-chan?" asked Izuku as they were eating their meat. Ochako almost foolishly ordered rice when Itsuka stopped her, saying it would be better to fill up on meat to get their buck for the price.

"Yea, my parents built one of the buildings here for the landlord, so the landlord allowed me to live there for free," nodded Ochako, "But it's just me. It gets a little lonely sometimes."

"Well feel free to visit my place any time," said Izuku.

"Indeed, if you need, you can live with me," offered Momo, "My parents went overboard with my living quarters, so now I'm living alone with servants and maids that come and go just to help clean. It would be nice to have some company."

"I'll... think about it," said Ochako. She didn't want to burden Momo, but it would lighten the burden on her parents. Not to mention she would like the company. Living alone for three days now, she felt a bit lonely.

"Meat's ready!" announced Itsuka, who had taken upon herself to be the main cook. Tenya had wanted to take responsibility, but a firm slap on the hand from Itsuka made him change his mind.

They all began to dig in eagerly, consuming the meat at a fast pace. Tenya took it to himself to help order more meat for them all as well as water. No soda was ordered as they all knew it would just fill them up faster.

Out of all of them, Itsuka, Ochako, and Tenya were amazed at the amount Momo could consume until she explained her quirk. The five of them enjoyed their meal, and when they felt full, Itsuka went ahead and ordered some cold udon noodles. The rest were first confused at such an order until Itsuka tossed the noodles into the metal grill that was soaked with the marinade of their meat. Watching the noodles soak in the oils, the group couldn't help but drool at the sight of it.

"Dig in!" smiled Itsuka, and they all did so eagerly.

"Oh god I'm so full," moaned Ochako as she laid back on her chair.

"Thank you for cooking for us," said Momo as she passed her credit card to the waiter for her to charge it. She didn't even let Tenya attempt to pay for half of it, telling him he could just buy them all a meal next time. Tenya huffed but agreed to it on the condition that the meal wouldn't be composed of something cheap, but something around the same price.

"Yea you really knew how to cook," cheered Ochako.

"Indeed, I would have never imagined using noodles as the end meal," nodded Tenya, lifting his glasses up.

"Itsuka has always been like a big sister figure to all her friends," smiled Izuku, "Always taking care of anyone that needs help. She was my first friend after Bakugo became a jerk. I was so sad when she had to move away, but now we get to see each other again! She helped inspire me to help others."

Itsuka blushed as she crossed her legs shyly at Izuku's praise.

"Such devotion to justice!" praised Tenya, "I will be just as dedicated to helping others!"

After they finally left, Tenya and Izuku accompanied the girls to the train station, where Tenya and Itsuka would be taking it.

"I'll see you soon!" said Itsuka as she hugged Izuku once more, "I know you'll make it!"

Izuku then accompanied Momo and Ochako to Ochako's house, who waved them goodbye and gave both of them a hug before leaving.

The last stop was Momo's house.

"I'll see you at U.A. for sure," nodded Momo, "I know that my analysis has to be correct."

"I trust you," smiled Izuku, "We'll both be at U.A., with Iida-kun, Itsuka-chan, and Ochako-chan."

As he was about to leave, Momo swiftly took a step forward and gave Izuku a peck to the cheek, causing his whole head to turn red.

"I had a fun time tonight," smiled Momo, "Thank you for introducing me to the others."

With that, she turned around to walk towards her home, her waist moving side to side as she walked a bit. Izuku couldn't help but stare at the hypnotizing waist as it got further and further before shaking his head out of the trance and quickly ran back home.

Hoped you guys enjoyed it! Leave a review!

As I said, I've been busy with Destiny 2, with all the new stuff, light level, and iron banner. Aka salty banner because of how much salt you either consume or toss to other people. In short, excuses everywhere. Its just gonna get worst when KH3 finally comes out.

Rekai will be and on and off OC, not important enough in the story, but enough to sprinkle advice here and there. Afterall, whats the point of going to a dojo if you're not going to pick at your teacher's brain?

Still having attack name problems, I've got something though. It's starting to come into formation. Was going to name the bazooka attack Mesopotamia Smash, making each arm like the longest famous twin rivers, the Tigris Euphrates river. THen I thought that might not be such a good idea. Still working on it.

Also, wow. I did not see me hitting past 1k follows and over 9000 views in two chapters. Guess I'm doing something right lol.

Harem hasn't changed. Still Itsuka, Momo, Ochako, and Tsuyu are confirmed. Tsuyu was one that I had debated with another student, but decided to say fk it. I know, people want the rest of 1A girls and prob some of 1B girls, but I have plans/pairing already for the majority of them.

I've still yet to watch the My Hero Academia Movie Two Heroes, so I should do that soon. My friend/beta tells me about it quite a bit, and how a special girl in there would be perfect in the story. I'll decide that when I actually do watch it.

Again, people have asked about or for Haki. Answer is No, but I do have something in mind that might take place of it. No spoilers, though! It won't come to any time soon.
