Chapter 14: Test
Hatsume stood outside with a tablet in her hands staring at the sea, the sun was setting and the air was starting to get cold. "Alright, he should be showing up in 3, 2, 1…"
From the water green lightning crackled around Izuku as he ran towards the shore, Izuku was running on water. Coming to a stop on the sand Izuku smiled, "That was fun, I've never been to Miyake Island before"
Hatsume nodded, "Impressive, you ran to that island in just under a minute. And the island is about 135 km away!"
"The waves kept messing me up, I almost fell into the water on more than one occasion. And if I fell in at my speeds…." Izuku paused for a second.
"The impact with the waves would be enough to shatter every bone in your body, and you would most likely die." Explained Hatsume.
Izuku flinched, "Don't remind me. But I have to be careful at these speeds. That reminds me….how the heck do I not burn up. The amount of friction I create is more than enough to spark a fire."
Hatsume raised an eyebrow, "That's... actually a good question. Your clothes don't catch fire, but neither do the devices I put on you. Hmmm, let's test something."
Before Izuku could agree to anything Hatsume jumped into his arms. Izuku's eyes widened as he caught Hatsume, "What the hell!? Warn me next time." He said as he carried her princess style.
Hatsume smiled, "I knew you'd catch me. Now onto the experiment."
Izuku sighed, "What is it?"
"Simple, you run with me in your arms." Izuku did a double take.
"I'm sorry what?" He asked, confused. "Hatsume, you could burn up if this goes bad."
"Midoriya, I am an inventor, and sometimes you have to take risks. Besides, this is going to work if my theory is correct." Said Hatsume as she wrapped her arms around Izuku's neck.
"Fine, but if you start catching fire I'll stop." Grabbing onto Hatsume tight, Izuku faced the ocean. With green lightning jumping off his body Izuku took off.
The water split as Izuku ran past at extreme speeds. Looking down Izuku found that Hatsume was alright, "How are you feeling Hatsume?"
Hatsume smiled, "This is amazing! Go faster!"
"As you wish!" Izuku kicked it up a notch , that's when it hit Hatsume.
"How the heck are you talking? And how can I hear you? At these speeds your voice should be distorted." Said Hatsume surprised.
"Oh right I never told you, I can control my perception. It's not like I'm always in super speed mode, otherwise any conversation or even my daily life would be like years for me. It's complicated, but I figured it out after the UA entrance exam." Explained Izuku.
Stopping on a small island, Izuku placed Hatsume down, "That's actually really impressive. Also, I'm not burning! So it seems my theory is correct."
"What theory?" Asked Izuku.
Hatsume then raised the tablet and scanned Izuku, "Every time you run your body is giving off some sort of barrier that is protecting you from your own speeds, almost like a force field. That lightning that sparks around you, I think it's the byproduct of the barrier."
Izuku looked at his arms, "Interesting, I thought it was only super speed but it seems like it's so much more. I wonder what else I can do."
However before Izuku could think of anything else he got a call on his cellphone, "Hello?"
"Hey nerd, where are you?" asked Bakugo.
"Kachan? Oh I'm with Hatsume at the hut, why?" asked Izuku.
"The letter, it's here." Izuku's eyes widened. "Unless you want me to open it you better get home fast."
"I'll be right there, don't you dare open it!" Ending the call Izuku turned to Hatsume, "Let's go, the decision from UA has arrived. You must have gotten it too."
Hatsume smiled, "Really!? What are we waiting for, let's go!"
Picking up Hatsume, Izuku once again ran on water and towards the beach. After collecting their stuff the two ran towards the train station. Hatsume got off on her stop and Izuku on his, he wanted to use his speed but didn't want to attract attention.
Making it home Izuku was greeted by Bakugo and his parents, "There you are kid," said Masaru.
"Sorry about being so late, I was making sure Hatsume got home safe." Izuku then saw the letter in Mitsuki's hand. "Thanks for holding on to it…"
Izuku reached for it but before he could reach it Mitsuki pulled the envelope away, "Before you open it I, We, just want you to know that we are so proud of you. I know living with us hasn't been easy for you…"
That's when Izuku interrupted, "I will always be grateful to you, all of you. If it wasn't for you taking me in, I don't know where I would be. No matter what that letter says I will always be thankful for what you've given me."
Mitsuki and Masaru smiled, "That's all we want. Here."
Grabbing the letter Izuku went to his room, sitting down on his desk he turned on the lamp on his desk and put the letter down. Izuku could feel his heart beating faster and faster with every second he looked at the letter. Taking a deep breath Izuku readied himself, "Come on Izuku, let's do this." grabbing the letter Izuku ripped the envelope in half.
But to his surprise only a circular metal piece fell out, "Huh? Is that it?"
However as Izuku inspected the device a night began to shine from it, dropping it, it landed on his desk and out popped a holographic image of All Might. Izuku's eyes narrowed when he saw the man that he onced idolized, "Is this thing on? Oh it is? Hello! If you don't know who I am, the name is All Might, the number one hero! Let me start off by saying that we in the hero community are proud that you chose to apply for the hero course!"
Izuku rolled his eyes, "Is this going to take a while? I just want to know if I got in or not."
Almost as if All Might was listening he coughed, "But let's get onto what you've been waiting for, to see if you got into UA. starting off we have the written part of the entrance exam and you Izuku Midoriya have scored a perfect score! And in record time too, most impressive. However, being smart is not the only thing that makes a hero, you also have to have the quirk to back it up. And here too I must say you did amazing, you destroyed so many robots and so fast that it took us a while to add up your total. After a few hours of counting we have a grand total of 245 points, which is more than enough."
Izuku smiled, "But wait there's more, destroying robots wasn't the only way to earn points. We also had rescue points, these points were awarded by doing heroic acts and you son did just that when you saved all of the students from the falling debris, not to mention the girl. For your efforts you earned another 100 points bringing your total to 345! Not only did you earn a spot in the hero course, you shattered UA's record. So with that being said, I welcome you Izuku Midoriya, to UA. I expect great things from you, and always remember PLUS ULTRA!"
With that the small projection of All Might disappeared, Izuku leaned back in his chair, "I-I did it, I actually got in." That's when a wave of emotions fell over him, Izuku clenched his fists as tears ran down his face. "I'm doing it mom, it will only be a matter of time before I get dad out of prison."
But as the tears kept coming Izuku suddenly got a call on his cellphone, it was Hatsume. Wiping away the tears he answered, "Hey Hatsume."
"Midoriya! I got into the support department!" She said, Izuku could practically feel her excitement.
Izuku smiled, "That's awesome Hatsume, guess we'll be seeing each other more often because I got into the hero course."
"Really!? That's amazing Midoriya, but with your speed there was no way you didn't get in. Oh you know what this means right!? The design I made for you, they are going to make it!" Said Hatsume.
"Oh that's right I almost forgot about that. If it's alright with you Hatsume I'd like to add a little something." After talking with Hatsume for a while Izuku finally hung up the phone and walked out of his room.
Where he was greeted by all of the Bakugo's, "So did you get in?" Asked Masaru.
Izuku rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, I got in. I'm going to UA to be a hero."
Mitsuki hugged Izuku, "I don't know how you did it, but I'm so proud of you Izuku. And I know Inko would be too."
Izuku returned the hug, "Yeah, I know."
Bakugo silently leaned against the wall, 'How the hell did he get in? He didn't cheat I know that, but there's no way he destroyed any robots, right?'
"This calls for a celebration, we'll make both of your favorite foods tonight since you both got into UA." Said Masaru.
"Kachan, you got in?" Asked Izuku, surprised.
Bakugo's eye twitched, "Why did you say it like that, you damn nerd. But yeah, I got in and you better prepare nerd because now that we're in UA I'll be competing against you."
Izuku smirked, "Bring it on,"
The night went on and Izuku and the Bakugo's celebrated, for in a few short weeks Izuku would be one step closer to getting his father out of prison. But unbeknownst to him he would also take a major step toward his doom.
