Chapter 8: Ch. 8
Izuku sat in his room. He was currently brushing up on any medical knowledge he could find. He definitely did not want to get that injured man's hopes up, only to mess it up somehow. He knew that using stem cells would allow him to repair the stomach at the very least, but was unsure of what to do about the kidney. The stem cells wouldn't have anything to grow off of, unlike the stomach and lung.
Izuku pondered just not replacing the kidney. After all, you don't need both kidneys in order to live. He also didn't want to make a mistake with something more delicate, and end up making it worse.
Healing people wasn't something he did too often, as it first required someone to be injured. Izuku rarely found serious injuries, much less ones like the man he had seen just a few days ago, and he most definitely would not injure anyone on purpose. Even when he had experimented with the brain, he could observe until he was sure not even a rat would get hurt. The lack of observation he could do in this field made him wary of using his ability for healing.
What he had already done was easy enough. Simply help the stem cells grow into the proper cell, and build off the old one. Recreating an entire organ was different, and Izuku figured it would be better not to risk it.
Having come to a decision, Izuku stood up, stretched, and made his way to the door of his room. Before he could open it, it burst towards him itself, nearly knocking him down.
On the other side of the newly opened door, stood Izuku's mother. She was panting, and had her hands on her knees to support herself. In one of those hands, was an envelope.
Izuku quickly realized what it was. It's not like any other letter would be addressed to him. His eyes widened at the revelation, excitement starting to seep in. He began bouncing on his feet, waiting for the words he knew were coming.
"Izuku! It's here!" Cried his mother, also in excitement. Her face was twisted in an anticipatory smile, riveted by the prospect of Izuku making his way into the most prestigious school in the country. Not to mention the fact that it was there that his dream would become a reality. She beamed, absolutely sure that Izuku had earned himself a spot there.
"Hurry!" yelled his mother, "Open it!" She said as she shoved the envelope into his hands, crinkling it slightly. However, she was too excited to notice, and just pushed him onto his bed. She took a seat next to him, and waited for her son to open the letter they had both been waiting for.
Izuku's hands trembled as he fumbled over the flap of the envelope, attempting to rip it open. When he finally succeeded, he eagerly reached into the envelope. Surprisingly, what he pulled out wasn't a letter, but instead a metal disk.
Confused, Izuku examined the disk. On a small white tag, there were the words 'Place me on a flat surface!' followed by an odd drawing of some type of hybrid mouse thing waving at him. Izuku, opting not to question the drawing, gingerly placed the disk on his desk.
As soon as he did, All Might appeared! Well, as a projection…
"I AM HERE… AS A PROJECTION!"
Said the powerful voice of All Might, his face taking up the entire projection. He quickly backed off, allowing his upper body to be seen. Izuku barely resisted the urge to squeal like a girl when he saw this. It was incredible to see his idol about to address him personally. Izuku stared in wonder at the projection that covered up all of his All Might merchandise.
It was surreal, All Might was now speaking to him. They had met before, but All Might never asked for his name. He just signed his notebook and left, it was doubtful the powerful man even remembered him.
Nevertheless, Izuku soon cleared all that from his mind, and asked himself another question.
Why is All Might doing a video for UA?
His eyebrows furrowed as he attempted to find an answer to his own question. Before he could think on it much farther, All Might began his speech.
"NOW, I'M SURE YOU'RE DYING TO KNOW WHY I WOULD HELP UA OUT WITH THE LETTERS. I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT FROM NOW ON, I WILL BE TEACHING AT UA."
Izuku actually let the squeal out this time, and his mother didn't blame him. This was him getting the chance to be taught by his idol, someone he has looked up to for all his life.
"WHAT? GET ON WITH IT?" Asked All Might, supposedly to someone off camera, if the way he was looking and how his voice was just a tad softer was any indication.
"ALL RIGHT THEN, LET'S SEE…" All Might whispered to himself as he stared at something offscreen.
"AH! I SEE, SO THIS IS TO YOUNG IZUKU MIDORIYA. YOU MADE QUITE A SPLASH AT THE ENTRANCE EXAM. I REMEMBER YOU AND THE SLUDGE VILLAIN A FEW MONTHS BACK, YOUR IMPRESSIVE NOTE TAKING AND ANALYSIS IS HARD TO FORGET."
All Might said this casually, but Izuku eyes were watering. All Might had remembered him, and even said his analysis skills were impressive! Better than that, they were hard to forget!
Izuku could barely restrain himself, but he reigned in his emotions for what would come next in the video.
"NOW, I'M SURE YOU'RE CURIOUS AS TO HOW YOU DID IN THE ENTRANCE EXAM. THE SIMPLEST ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE… FLAWLESS!"
Izuku clenched his fists as he allowed himself to feel pride in himself. His eyes watered as he happily beamed at his mother, wanting to let her know that he was well on his way to accomplishing his dream.
Inko's chest felt like it would burst from the feelings there. Pride was a large part of it, but there was just a speck of sadness. Her baby boy was no longer a baby. He had grown up, and would be chasing after his dream. Even though she would still see him, Inko would have to let him grow and become his own man. Inko sighed at the thought of how she would react when he moved out of the house.
However, for now, she would cherish him, and she would let him know that she was proud of him. Not just for his quirk, or his score on the entrance exam, but for being who he was.
"I couldn't be more proud of you, honey." Said Inko quietly. And although no other words were exchanged between the two, Izuku knew that she meant more than just about the exam.
"YOUR WRITTEN EXAMS SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT YOUR INTELLIGENCE. IN FACT, YOU SCORED FIRST PLACE. YOUR PRACTICAL EXAM IS ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY. NOT ONLY DID YOU SCORE FIRST IN THIS AREA AS WELL, YOU SET A NEW RECORD! THE PREVIOUS RECORD WAS SET BY ME, AT 154 POINTS. HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DID YOU SURPASS THAT, YOU BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER!" Exclaimed All Might jovially as he laughed and aimed a thumbs-up towards the screen.
"WITH YOUR QUIRK, YOU SWIFTLY DEFEATED ALL OF THE ROBOTS IN YOUR TESTING AREA. THIS BRINGS YOUR POINTS UP TO AN EVEN 1000! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THERE WAS ALSO A SECRET WAY TO SCORE POINTS IN THE EXAM. THAT IS, RESCUE POINTS! WHILE NO RECORDS WERE SET HERE, YOU STILL PERFORMED EXCELLENTLY BY HELPING A FEW OF YOUR FELLOW EXAMINEES ESCAPE THE ZERO-POINTER. THIS WAS UNNEEDED FOR YOU TO PASS, BUT ALSO SHOWED US YOUR HEROIC SPIRIT!"
Although All Might was excited during that whole speech, he couldn't help but dramatically pose at the end. His smile threatened to split his face as he flexed his muscles, which threatened to split his suit.
"ANYWAYS, YOUR TOTAL SCORE ADDED TOGETHER FOR A NET TOTAL OF 1028 POINTS. THIS HERE IS A SCOREBOARD SO YOU CAN SEE HOW YOU MEASURED UP AGAINST THE OTHER PARTICIPANTS." He said as a scoreboard with his name at the top appeared.
Izuku scanned the board quickly. Villain points and rescue points were separated into two separate categories. As he saw second place, he smiled. Kacchan had done well in the exam, scoring 77 villain points. What really brought a smile to Izuku's face was the number next to that. Instead of the 0 most would expect from Kacchan, there was a 12, highlighted in the neon orange of second place. By comparing the other top ten rescue points with Kacchan's, Izuku could tell that he had to have gone out of his way to help those people.
Thinking about it made him laugh. Kacchan was just a big softy on the inside, he knew it. As he thought about his best friend, Izuku wondered what Kacchan's reaction to his score would be. There would probably be a lot of yelling and explosions. Izuku ignored the part of him that reminded him that this was Kacchan, there would always be yelling and explosions.
As his thought process finished, All Might continued. "CONGRATULATIONS, YOUNG MIDORIYA. I WELCOME YOU, TO YOUR HERO ACADEMIA!"
