MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

It seemed weird that a huge defining moment of her life would take place in a school nurse's office, but Kyoka had to get One for All somewhere and she guessed that Recovery Girl's office was better than a half-cleaned training beach.

Midoriya: Oh, so you didn't finish cleaning the beach.

Jirou: Guess I'm not as good as you.

It was ridiculously early, but the exercise started at noon and the villains were supposed to arrive around sunrise so that they had time to go over the rules one final time and enter the test city a few hours before the hero students did. The company providing the civilians for the exercise had apparently arrived yesterday and had been setting things up in the city since last night.

Kyoka was already wearing her villain outfit and had everything she was allowed to bring to the exercise, mostly stuff like flashlights and her pepper spray that had somehow gotten approved, so all that was left was to get her quirk and she'd be ready.

She wasn't quite sure when her thoughts had shifted from if to when she got One for All, but it must have happened at some point because here she was, ready to make a decision that would impact the rest of her life.

Dad would be so proud.

Uraraka(giggling): Your dad's fun.

The door opened and All Might walked in, flanked on either side by Recovery Girl and Gran Torino. If it hadn't worked out so well, Kyoka would have been tempted to cringe at the audacity of seeking out her mentor's mentor to train her just because she didn't like the way All Might suggested, but at the end of the day, Gran's vision of what training for One for All should look like meshed a lot better with her fighting style than All Might's point and hit strategy. The last few weeks had been spent cleaning the beach like they had originally planned, but also meditating, studying, and listening to One for All as often as she could so that she was ready for today.

"This is a great responsibility, young Jiro." All Might said solemnly. "A sacred torch that has been passed down for generations."

Recovery Girl hit All MIght in the knees with her cane. "Don't scare her off before she's even gotten the quirk, you nitwit!"

(everyone giggled and Shigaraki said something about this being his second favorite story again but he was laughing too hard for anyone to really understand what he said)

"It is a sacred responsibility." Gran Troino acknowledged. "But at the end of the day, I've known the holders of this quirk for decades and it has been passed through some of the greatest heroes I know. Try to welcome it like an old friend, if you can."

Jirou(gulping): Yeah, if I can...

Momo: You'll do well, Jirou.

Kyoka swallowed dryly and nodded, "Ok, I'm ready."

All Might smiled and plucked a hair from his head, "Eat this!"

(everyone cringed)

Mineta: Oh yeah forgot it happened through genetic transfer for a second there.

Izuku swallowed as he stared up at the massive gates of UA, "We... we're finally here."

"Yeah." Hitoshi breathed. "And soon we're gonna be back as students."

Mitsuki: That's the spirit!

Kendo: Yeah, stay positive, Shinso.

They were both dressed in the villain outfits they'd bought and Izuku was floored by how well everything had come together. They'd found armored shirts that were meant for people with destructive quirks so they had at least some measure of protection, but they'd also found a lot of other things, like climbing harnesses that would allow them to rappel down buildings or hide up off the ground in a pinch. For two bullied kids, Hitoshi thought they looked pretty cool.
