Chapter Text
It has only felt like yesterday when he first received his acceptance letter. If it were only a fluke, he would’ve turned the other way and hung himself. After all, he was only lucky to be inheriting All Might’s Quirk after proving himself worthy as a Hero. But even with all that said, Midoriya was standing outside the building to the entrance exam as the anxiety was getting to him. And it didn’t help that he continued to hear the voices inside him as he stared outside the building in front of him. With all that said however, Midoriya couldn’t turn back the clock now.
“Okay…” the greenette says as he takes a deep breath.
It was now or never. If Midoriya were to pass, he would finally prove to himself that he would be the Hero that he wanted to be. But everywhere he went, he heard voices. Voices that would berate, slander, and threaten as he walked. And as he walked, Midoriya clenched his hands to his chest to keep anyone from touching him. Doubts begin to cloud his judgment as he continues to move and without even looking, he accidentally bumps and falls on top of someone.
“Ow! What did you do that for!?” a female voice asked in an annoyed tone.
As Midoriya struggled to collect himself, he felt something big and soft in his hand. When he finally comes to his senses, he opens his eyes and realizes what he was grabbing. It was a breast. Immediately standing up, he notices a girl in proper clothing and with a ponytail lying on the ground in front of him. He had no intention of accidentally falling on her and he was already receiving accusations of lechery. Already hearing murmurs and whispers from everyone as they watched, Midoriya immediately bowed before saying,
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Turning the other way, he accidentally bumps into one figure he didn’t want to see. Looking up, it was a blonde male with a sick, twisted grin on his face as he stared the greenette down menacingly. This was the same boy who went to the same preschool, elementary school, and middle school with him since they were kids and would always be terrorized by him with his Explosion Quirk as he grew up. The boy he immediately recognized was none other than Katsuki Bakugou.
“Well, well… Deku~. It seems we have a rapist in our midst!” the explosive blonde shouts as he grabs the greenette’s jacket.
“K-Kacchan… n-no… I… I just…” Midoriya mutters as he tries to escape.
“Oh, Deku~. You really shouldn’t be bumping into girls and grabbing their breasts~. How can you be like All Might if all you do is grope and molest women~? What do you think I should do to a rapist I see on patrol~?” Bakugou asks as his right hand starts crackling with little explosions.
The greenette was stuttering and had no idea what to say as the explosive pomeranian evilly grinned at him. Licking his lips with ecstasy, he whispers to him,
“You should’ve stayed away from U.A.. But since you’ve decided to join anyway, I’m gonna make you my personal bottom bitch~. What do you say… Deku~?”
Breathing thinly, the little voices inside Midoriya’s head begin to overwhelm him as green electricity starts sparkling all over his body like a high-voltage battery. And as he raises his head, all the greenette could think about was turning the explosive blonde into a big red stain as he looked at him with blank, empty eyes. But before anything could happen, the girl he bumped into pulls him away from Bakugou and says,
“That won’t be necessary.”
“What!? But Deku just bumped into you! He-!” Bakugou says before getting cut off by the ponytailed girl.
“An honest mistake. This boy just kept his head low and had the misfortune of bumping into me. I trust that you understand that?” the ponytailed girl explains before giving the explosive blonde a sharp look.
Having heard that, Bakugou had no idea how to counter her point. All he could do was just stand there in silent disbelief and think about how he was able to outwit her.
“Well, if you have nothing to say, then we had best be on our way.” the ponytailed girl says before taking Midoriya with her.
As he watches her walk away with Deku, All Bakugou could do was growl in anger at how the shitty nerd was able to evade him for the time being.
. . .
Inside the building, Midoriya was standing in front of the tall ponytailed girl as she looked at him in disappointment.
“Well? Don’t you have something to say to me?” the ponytailed girl asks with her arms crossed.
“I… I didn’t mean to…” Midoriya stammers before she raises his head up by his chin to look at his face.
“I understand that this is your first day and you’re nervous about making it into U.A., but that doesn’t excuse your poor attention skills and your inability to stand up for yourself. We are going to be attending one the school that All Might graduated from and you’re choosing to act shy? This will simply not do. I suppose it falls on me to keep an eye on you.” the ponytailed girl says in a firm tone.
“N-N-No. I’m fine. I just-” Midoriya says before getting cut off once more.
“No. That boy will come after you sooner or later and he will tear you apart. So I can’t turn the other way now that he has his eyes on you. So as of now, you will stick by me. Am I clear?” the ponytailed girl asserts.
Having no other choice but to listen, he says,
“Y-Yes, madam…”
“Very good. And by the way, my name is Momo Yaoyorozu. What is your name?” the ponytailed girl responds before asking the greenette’s name.
“M-Midoriya. Izuku… Midoriya.” the greenette responds in a shy tone.
“Well Midoriya, we better get moving. The presentation will be starting pretty soon and we have to show our forms. So let’s move.” Yaoyorozu says before grabbing Midoriya and walking towards the reception.
After handing over their forms, the duo make their way over to the classroom where the presentation was still in preparations. Everyone was seated and awaiting the instructors to make their entrance. As Midoriya looked around, Yaoyorozu grabs his shoulder and says,
“Upstairs. Let’s go.”
“R-Right…” Midoriya responds in his shy tone before heading up the stairs with her.
As appreciative as the greenette was for the ponytailed girl coming to his rescue from Bakugou, he had no idea what she had to gain from this. Was she blackmailing him? Did she need him to be her personal bodyguard? What could he do? Midoriya just received the One For All Quirk after training with All Might for a whole year and he’s already forced to do favors for some girl he barely even knows. And while he did find her attractive, he had very high doubts that someone like him could ever date her. But even if she did find him attractive, chances were that he would find himself unworthy and he would most likely feel the need to kill himself while opportunity presented itself. However, those thoughts were thrown out the window when a loud voice greets,
“GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!!!”
Everyone looked down and noticed that it was none other than the MC Hero himself: Present Mic as he makes a grand entrance into the room. Vibing and walking, he happily makes his way to the center of the stage before standing at attention.
“That’s Present Mic, one of the greatest Pro Heroes that ever existed in Japan! He was one of the many U.A. Students that took on the Drug Syndicate linked to the Yakuza…” Midoriya mutters to himself before Yaoyorozu shushes him.
“Now everyone, since you’ve all handed in your forms, I’ll just get right to it! Now I know why you kids wanna get into U.A.! Some of you wanna be the next All Might, Endeavor, Jeanist, Eraserhead, me, yada, yada, whatever! But it ain’t just gonna get handed to you kids on a silver platter! You’ve gotta prove yourselves on the field first! Which is where the practical exam comes in!” Present Mic says before the screen behind him turns on.
On that screen, there was a full map display in front of the students. And on that map, it was filled with giant robots. Smiling, Present Mic explains,
“Alright kids, here comes the simple part of the practical exam! All you gotta do is destroy the robots and build up enough points to warrant full passage in your enrollment to U.A.! And once you accumulate enough points, you pass! But if you don’t get enough points, then you’re headed up a creek, boys and girls!”
Having heard this, Midoriya and Yaoyorozu sat nervously as they awaited further instructions on what to do next. But as they watched, the greenette started to hear the voices again. And from there, Midoriya’s vision changed as he started to see ghastly demons and ghouls. He sweated bullets as he watched everyone around him and he could barely breathe while doing everything he could to not panic from the sight of them alone. But that was all interrupted when another teenage boy interrupted the seminar by raising his hand by asking in a loud voice,
“Sir, may I take this moment in asking you a question?”
“Um… sure, I guess.” Present Mic answers in a confused tone.
“First of all, I would like to address a couple things! First of all, what is the maximum number of robots we will be facing in the practical exam?” the bespeckled teen asked.
“Well, we have a bit of a limited budget in the robot department right now. So twenty giant robots at most…?” Present Mic speculates while crunching the numbers.
“I see. And one more thing - you!” the bespeckled teen says before sharply turning to Midoriya as he points at him.
Everyone looks at the greenette as he looks around before pointing the finger at himself to settle the confusion.
“For the past few minutes, you have been a disruptive nuisance and all you’ve been doing is fawning over Heroes like a child in a TV Broadcast! This is an enrollment seminar, not a convention! Now remain silent and pay attention!” the bespeckled teen shouts as he lectures the greenette.
This little lecture seems to have slighted Midoriya upon hearing it. Breathing intensely, little sparks of electricity surround the greenette as he gets out of his seat while looking at him with empty eyes. Everyone around Midoriya nervously backs away as he gets ready to charge at the paranoid, but properly ready bespeckled teen as he awaits the greenette’s attack. But before anything could happen, a Pro Hero in a pair of black clothes, bandages and unkempt hair appears out of nowhere and deactivates Midoriya’s Quirk.
“Is there a problem?” the gloomy Pro Hero asks as he looks at the greenette.
Midoriya had no idea what to say. Here he was - the Underground Hero, Eraserhead… standing right in front of him. The greenette was quivering in fear and intimidation. But at the same time… he was awestruck by the sheer stature as the fierce gaze pierced straight into his eyes like an arrowhead landing into a deer’s head. However, his fascination was interrupted by Yaoyorozu when she spoke,
“He was just daydreaming. He spent a little too much time reading and watching everything related to Pro Heroes.”
“Hmm… don’t fall asleep during the presentation.” Eraserhead says before leaving the greenette’s sight.
After Eraserhead leaves, Present Mic resumes his speech which proceeds to go on for an hour as Midoriya takes notes while Yaoyorozu watches him, albeit a little creeped out by his mannerisms. Nevertheless, the speech finally concluded and everyone was instructed to head into the locker rooms and get changed into their gym attire. As Midoriya was getting changed, he was suddenly approached by Bakugou, who immediately slams him into the lockers in front of everyone before saying,
“I tried to warn you, Deku~. You should’ve just looked the other way and nothing would’ve happened to you~. But you had to go and be the big man~. If you pass, I’m gonna make your life a living hell~. And you’re going to be my personal bottom bitch~. Do you find that appealing… Deku~? Daddy really gets lonely without his little Deku around~.”
“Hey! No fighting, you two! We have an exam to complete and I want us all to pass with flying colors! And as for you, I don’t want you flirting with that girl next to you! We are here to become Heroes and I do not want your head in the clouds! This is the moment that will define the rest of our lives for generations to come and I will not have a dreamer stand in the way of that moment! Am I understood!?” the bespeckled teen shouts as he looks at Midoriya while pushing Bakugou away.
Hearing this, Midoriya’s eyes begin to run empty as he looks at the bespeckled teen in front of him. As he looks at him, the greenette tilts his head down and notices motor exhaust sticking out of his legs.
“You know… you have an interesting Quirk on your legs. It would be a pity if someone were to… break your legs.” Midoriya responds as electricity starts sparking out of his body.
“What…? H-Hey! I wasn’t trying to-” the bespeckled teen says as the greenette slowly walks towards him.
“Hey, you two! Knock it off! We got an exam to complete! Let’s go!” a redheaded student shouts after getting dressed.
“Yeah! I’d hate it if you guys missed out on the ladies!” a blonde with an electric theme to him says as he dashes out the door alongside the redhead.
Hearing this, Midoriya turns the other way from his bullies and continues getting dressed. Afterwards, they headed outside where everyone awaited the signal for the practical exam. And while he was walking, he was suddenly approached by Yaoyorozu.
“You were almost late.”
“Huh!? But I-!” Midoriya says before getting cut off once more.
“No time. The exam is about to begin…” the ponytailed girl says before pointing at the signal.
It was almost time. Once that signal started, there was no turning back. However, there didn’t seem to be a countdown anywhere on the screen and everyone could barely focus. But without warning, Present Mic shouts,
“LET’S PARTY!!!!!”
On that note, robots appear out of nowhere and destroy the buildings all around the students, causing them to disperse and charge into the chaos as the exam finally begins.
