Hatsume: "Still alive?!"
"Yeah."
For the past four days, Y/N had been spending his time with Hatsume. It was for two reasons: One. Y/N didn't really need to develop any new moves, and instead used his class time to talk to Power Loader about improvements to his costume, so he had lots of free time, compared to his classmates. Two. Hatsume would kinda... just show up, and take Y/N away, the time and day never mattered to her. Y/N never really fought back against her, most of the time he kinda just went with it.
Hatsume: "In that case! Put on this power suit, designed to withstand missile assaults! You just move of there, and I'll shoot at you with this modified howitzer!"
Before Hatsume's experiment could happen, both of them heard the sound of the door opening, and Aizawa walked in.
Aizawa: "That's enough of that."
Y/N/Hatsume: "Eh?"
Aizawa: "Due to multiple complaints, and various worries. We have to shut down you two's "Testing" facility."
Hatsume: "Eh?! But nobody is getting hurt!"
Aizawa: "That may be, but most of your gadgets are causing tremors that go out through the entire school. And it looks bad on U.A's part when giant explosions are going off everyday with little time in between them. That and you already destroyed two of the gyms here."
Hatsume: "Hmm... Oh! How abo-"
Aizawa: "No. Anyways, Y/N our time in the gym is over. You can go to your dorm, and rest up for tomorrows Provisional Exam."
"You got it. See ya Hatsume."
Hatsume: "How about inste-"
Aizawa: "No."
The next day
Jiro: "Ah, I'm getting nervous."
Mineta: "I wonder what we'll have to do... I wonder if I can get my provisional license..."
Aizawa: "Mineta, it's not about whether or not you can. Go and get it!"
Mineta: "Right, c-course-of!"
Aizawa: "If you can pass this test and get your provisional licenses, then novice eggs will become chicks... You'll hatch into semi-pros. Do your best."
Kaminari: "All right, I'll become a chick!"
"Phrasing."
Kirishima: "let's all call out the usual! Ready, set-- Plus..."
???: "ULTRA!"
Out of nowhere another student interrupted the entire group. He was rather tall compared to most of the people around him, and was wearing a unique hat, and behind him were other people wearing the same outfit as him.
???: "You shouldn't just barge in on other people's huddles, Inasa."
Inasa: "Oh, no! I am... very... extremely...sorry!"
Bang
As a sign of apology, Inasa ended up ramming his head to the sidewalk, shocking mostly everybody.
Kaminari: "What's with this guy trying to get by with just his enthusiasm?!"
Jiro: "Wait, that uniform...! It's from that famous school in western Japan..."
Bakugo: "U.A in the east, Shiketsu in the west..."
Inasa: "I wanted to try saying it just once! Plus Ultra! I love U.A High School! I am extremely honored to be able to compete against U.A students! I'm looking forward to it!"
???: "Oh, blood."
Somehow hearing this in all the rambling of the other students. Y/N directed his attention to the person that said it, and saw a girl who also wore the Shiketsu outfit, she had rather bright shoulder length hair, and was rather... Anyways when she noticed Y/N's gaze, they made eye contact for a few seconds, before the girl returned a smile, and a wink, along with a small flick of her hat, before walking off with one her classmates.
"...Weird."
Aizawa: "Inasa Yoarashi..."
Hagakure: "Mr. Aizawa you know him?"
Aizawa: "He's... strong."
"Really?"
Aizawa: "Last year, the same year as you guys, Yoarashi got the top scores of those admitted through recommendations, but for some reason, he turned down the acceptance. You can step back now Y/N"
Sero: "Even though he says he loves U.A he threw away his chance to enroll. I don't get it."
Mina: "Right? What a weirdo."
Aizawa: "He's weird, but he's the real deal. Keep an eye out for him."
???: "Eraser? It's you, isn't it, Eraser?!"
Hearing this voice Aizawa visibly tensed, and he slowly looked to his right, and saw another Pro Hero walking towards him. For once, Y/N didn't need Izuku's help to know who this hero was.
Ms. Joke: "I've seen you on TV and at the sports festival, but it's been a while since I've seen you in person!"
Looking back at, Aizawa anyone could see the dread slowly seeping out of his face, as he realized who the person was, as they were walking towards him.
Ms. Joke: "Let's get married."
Aizawa: "No."
Ms. Joke: "No? Good one!"
Aizawa: "You're had to talk to as usual, Joke."
Izuku: "Smile Hero: Ms. J-"
'I already know who it is, I don't need to listen.'
Ms. Joke: "If you marry me, then we can make a happy family with never-ending laughter!"
Aizawa: "A family like that can't be happy."
Tsuyu: "You two seem close."
Ms. Joke: "Our agencies used to be close to each other! In our cycle of helping and being helped, out mutual love for each other bloomed--"
Aizawa: "No, it didn't."
Ms. Joke: "Oh, I love your quick retorts! You're so worth teasing, Eraser!"
Aizawa: "Joke, since you're here, that means..."
Ms. Joke: "That's right. Come here, everyone! It's U.A."
Just behind, Ms. Joke another group of students were trailing behind here, when they noticed Class 1-A they began to murmur in excitement
Ms. Joke: "Ketsubutsu Academy, second years, Class 2! They're my class. Please be kind."
One of the students from Ms. Joke's class immediatly went up to the Class, and he grasped Izuku's hands with his own. Seeing them side by side, Y/N shifted between them for a few second.
'They look almost the same...'
???: "I'm Shindo! U.A, this year's had trouble after trouble, so it must've been tough!"
Izuku: "Huh? Ye-"
Shindo: "But even so, you all are still aiming to be heroes like this, huh? That's wonderful! A heart of fortitude is what I believe all heroes should have from now on! From among you, there's Bakugo, who experienced being the center of the Kamino incident. You have an especially strong heart. Today, I'll do my best while learning from you!"
Bakugo: "Stop pretending. What you're saying doesn't match the look on your face!"
Kirishima: "Hey! Stop being so rude! Sorry for his rudeness..."
Shindo: "It's fine! It just proves how strong his heart is."
Looking to his right, Shindo spotted a clearly out of it Y/N. Having never seen him before, Shindo took this chance to have a conversation with him, and try to learn as much about him.
Shindo: "I'm Shindo! I'll do my best while learning from you all!"
"Huh?!"
Looking towards, Shindo, Y/N was left confused for a second, until he saw his hand was out towards him.
"Oh. I'll do my best learning from you too."
Going for a simple handshake, Y/N put his hand out, towards Shindo's. But Y/N could swore, that when their hands made contact, Shindo's face for a split second turned to one that spelled immense worry, but it quickly went to his usual smile. Only this one was rather uneasy compared to the ones before.
"Uh... are you okay?"
Shindo: "Hmm. Y-Yes, I'm fine..."
It was very faint, but Y/N could feel it. Shindo's hand was trembling, and it felt like, he was trying to hide it as best as he could. But he couldn't seem to control his sweat, as a noticeable sweat drop slowly went down his forehead. Realizing, that they were shaking head for an uncomfortably long period, they stopped, and parted hands. Shindo taking his hand away, more faster than Y/N. Shindo gave Y/N a small bow, and walked away. His mood near opposite, then when they first met, this didn't go unnoticed with Shindo's classmates however and some quickly went to him.
Jiro: "All these classes are weird..."
"We're probably weird in their eyes too."
Aizawa: "Hey, change into your costumes and go to the orientation. Don't wast time."
Class 1-A: "Yes, sir!"
Orientation room
Just peeking in the room, you could tell it was packed. There was suppose to be around two thousand students after all. Some of the people seemed confident while others were obviously nervous. But the rooms nosiness was interrupted when a rather tired voice went over the room.
???: "Well then, let's do that provisional license thing... I'm Mera from the Heroes Public Safety Commission. The kind of sleep i like is the non-REM sleep... Nice to meet you."
"I like this guy."
Mera: "I've been so busy that I haven't gotten much sleep... We're too short-staffed... I'm so sleepy! With that conviction, I will give you the orientation. About the content of the provisional license thing... Frankly, all 1,540 examinees here will win through a free-for-all exercise! Our society is currently said to be saturated with heroes, and ever since Stain was arrested, many have shown doubts about the current state of heroes."
'Who?'
Mera: "Well, as a private citizen, no matter what the motivation, to tell someone risking their lives to save others not to seek any reward is... It's the ruthless story of these modern times... But anyways, whether its for compensation or for loyalty and courage... the result of many heroes working hard together to help people and defeat villains is that right now, the time from when an incident begins to when it is resolved is so short that it'd make you sick. You all are about to receive your provisional licenses and finally throw yourselves into those rapids. Those who can't keep up with that speed will frankly have it tough. Accordingly, what you'll be tested on is speed! The first hundred to fulfill the requirements will pass."
Right after revealing that fact, immense murmuring start to come out of every student. After all one hundred students would mean, less than ten percent of students were allowed to pass. Mera seeing the ramble unfold, got up from his slouched position, and stood up. Ready to talk again.
Mera: "Well, a lot's happened out there in the world, and you know, about luck and everything... So anyway, here are the requirements. The examinee will put three of these targets on his or her body. They can go anywhere as long as it's an exposed area. You can't put them on the soles of your feet or in your armpits. You will also have six of these balls. The targets are made to only light up if they're hit by these balls, and if all three of your targets light up, then you're out. The person who lights up your third target will have it count as their defeat You get through this round by defeating two people. Okay then... After we open, we'll pass out the targets and balls, and then we'll start one minute after we've gotten to everyone."
Todoroki: "Open?"
As if on Que the ceiling started to open up, and the sun quickly flood into the room as the room it self rose up. When it was at the top, the walls fell down, revealing a giant stadium filled with buildings, mountains, and even a lake.
Mera: "I believe you all have terrain that you like and dislike. Use your Quirks well and do your best. Anyway, we arranged for the terrain to be announced like that... But yeah, it's unnecessary. It's because of this that my sleep was... I hope the developments are speedy so that I can rest as soon as possible..."
Izuku: "Everyone, don't get too separated! Let's move as a group!"
Bakugo: "Yeahh right, this isn't a field trip!"
Kirishima: "Idiot, wait up!"
Izuku: "Kacchan!"
Todoroki: "I'm going to go on my own, too. It's hard for me to use my power in a big group."
Izuku: "Todoroki!"
"I'm going on my own also."
Izuku: "Eh?"
"The big group doesn't bother me, it's just that we're basically surrounded."
Izuku: "Wait Y/N-"
Mineta: "Midoriya, there's no time! Let's go!"
Izuku: "Right!"
With the group separating itself from, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Y/N, everyone put on a confident, but cautious air. Y/N was obviously the exception, but he was a bit more serious compared to his usual look. After all he couldn't really afford to sit this one out, like the Festival.
"But, where exactly should I go anyways?"
