~ Chapter 35 ~
Y/N quickly hide in the shadow behind the pillar where they won't see her as they walk down the stairs where Tsu is who had a shadow covering up her eyes.
"You see, Tsu said she had something to tell you all." Ochaco told them.
"...I can't help but say everything that comes to mind. But there are times when I don't know what to say." Tsu said. "Do you remember what I said at the hospital?"
Izuku looked down.
"Yeah, I remember."
"I hardened my heart and said some painful things." Tsu looked down in shame, making Y/N frown as Ochaco patted her back in comfort.
"Tsu..."
"Even so, you still went. When I heard about that this morning, I was shocked. I thought I'd stopped you, so I was filled with disappointment and bad feelings... I didn't know what to say... I didn't feel like I could have fun talking with everyone... But..."
Tsu looked up to them with tears pouring out of her eyes.
"...that made me very sad. That's why I wanted to tell you even if I couldn't gather my thoughts properly, so that I could have fun and talk with everyone again."
She then started crying.
"It's not just Tsu that feels this way." Ochaco said. "Everyone felt uneasy and wanted to make that feeling go away... That's why... The 'Room King' and everything was because they understood how you all felt... So don't blame them, but, you know... I mean, it's hard, but anyway... Let's all work hard together and laugh together again!"
"Tsu...!" Eijiro exclaimed.
"Kero...?"
"I'm sorry! Thanks for telling us!"
"Asui." Momo cried out.
"Tsu!" Tenya joined in.
"Asui, sorry." Shoto said.
"Asu-- Tsu!" Izuku said.
"I won't ever do it again." Eijiro cried out.
"Kero... kero..." Tsu shakily croaked.
"Me neither."
"I promise!"
Y/N decided to walk out of her hiding spot and placed a hand behind Tsu's head, making her turn.
"Kero...?"
"Y/N!" Eijiro exclaimed in shock.
Y/N said nothing and looked straight into Tsu's eyes with a kind smile, showing her that it's okay. Tsu started to ball out in bigger tears. Y/N rubbed her head, pulled her into a hug as she told her to let it all out. Others that are watching would have been jealous, but not right now. Everyone was trying hard to make things go back to normal. Their usual daily lives of making each other better as they aim to be heroes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Y/N's room, her alarm woke her up, making her roll over and turn it off. She yawned and got out of her bed as she took a glance at the egg in the basket. She tapped it to see it is still warm which is good. Y/N gave a light kiss on the egg and headed towards the bathroom with all the other girls to brush her teeth and change her clothes.
After being attacked twice by the League of Villains, U.A. High School thought to protect its students by switching to an all dorm-system. A five-minute walk from U.A. school grounds, on the third day after moving into the student dorm, Heights Alliance, their new lives begin as they devote their days to becoming heroes.
Y/N sat in her front desk as she listens to Aizawa while thinking how her egg was doing.
"I believe I mentioned this yesterday, but for now, Class 1-A of the hero course will be focusing on getting their provisional licenses."
"Yes, sir!"
"A hero license bears with it the great responsibility of human life. Of course, the exam to recieve one is very difficult. Even the provisional license has only a 50% passing rate each year." Aizawa continued.
"Just the provisional license is that hard?" Mineta asked with her nervous sweatdrop.
"That's why today, we will have each of you come up with at least two..."
The door slid open to reveal Midnight, Cementoss, and Ectoplasm.
"...ultimate moves."
"Ultimate moves?!" Denki, Mina, Eijiro, and Hanta exclaimed in excitement. "It's like a real school thing and yet-- It's like a super normal hero thing!"
"'Ultimate'! This means that this move will give you a sure win!" Ectoplasm explained.
"A move so ingrained into your body that others cannot copy it." Cementoss added. "Battle means seeing how much you can force what you're good at on your opponent."
"Your moves will represent you." Midnight voiced in. "These days, pro heroes without ultimate moves are an endangered species."
"We will tell you more as we go along. We want to proceed logically. Change into your costumes and meet in Gym Gamma." Aizawa stated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Gym Gamma, also known as the 'Training Dining Land,' or TDL." Aizawa explained as everyone are in their costumes and in the gym, while Y/N is still in her regular combat outfit.
Cementoss placed his hands on the ground as the light green glow produced cements from them.
"I came up with the idea for these facilities. Terrain and other things can be prepared specifically for each student. That's what the 'dining' part refers to."
"I see..." Denki mumbled.
Tenya raised his hand highly.
"Please allow me to ask a question! Why must we have ultimate moves for our provisional licensing exam? Please tell me your reasoning!"
"I'll tell you everything in order. Calm down." Aizawa said. "The job of a hero is to save people from danger, like crimes, accidents, natural disasters, and man-made disasters. The exam to become one naturally looks at how well you are able to do that. Your ability is to gather information, make decisions, move, and fight, in addition to your ability to communicate, draw people to you, and lead-- Every year, a different test is used to look at how well you are able to do those things."
"Of those, your ability to fight is especially important to your future as heroes." Midnight added. "If you are prepared, you won't have to worry. Whether or not you have an ultimate move will greatly affect whether or not you pass."
"Not being influenced by circumstances and being able to act consistently will make you a great asset on the front lines." Cementoss said and turned his back, walking away.
"Your ultimate moves do not necessarily need to be of the attacking type. For example, Iida's Reciproburst--" Ectoplasm informed. "The temporary burst of speed is enough of a threat to be worth calling an ultimate move."
Tenya felt flattered as he held where his heart is.
"So that's good enough to be called an ultimate move?"
"I see... So we need to find something that allows us to feel like 'As long as I can do this, I have an advantage. I can win.'" Rikido questioned.
"Exactly!" Midnight winked. "Kamui Woods, who played a big part in the fight the other day, has a move called Lacquered Chain Prison that is perfect example of an ultimate move. It restrains his opponents before they can do anything."
"The training camp was cancelled, but the training you did to develop your Quirks was part of the process to create your ultimate moves." Aizawa explained.
This made Y/N remembered her strange power that automatically comes out when needed. She now know why and will see what she can do from there.
"In other words..." Aizawa continued.
Cementoss used his Quirk to change the landscape in the gym, creating large pillars and different levels of terrain. Ectoplasm used his Quirk to make mutiple clones of himself and launched them out as they stand on different level ground.
"...until the beginning of the next semester, for the ten days or so until the end of summer vacation, you'll be working out your ultimate moves as you develop your Quirks. You'll be doing intensive training! In addition, you should think about how you can improve your costumes to work better with your developing Quirks."
Aizawa narrowed his eyes at his students.
"Get through this with a 'Plus Ultra' mentality. Are you ready?"
"Yes, sir!"
"I'm getting excited!" Denki voiced.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/N walked over to the clone of Ectoplasm, cracking her neck.
"So, you've been having power coming out, right?"
"Yes, it happened. It almost feel like I'm on fire, but not just a fire, automic. I think."
She stared at her hands.
"Try to unlock it."
She nodded as she took a deep breath, feeling her power radiating through her veins as her body glowed (F/C) as well as her hair and eyes. She let out an animalistic growl, clenching her fist.
"Good, now fight."
Y/N ran towards him and spin herself around about to roundhouse kick him when he dodged it, but she doesn't stop there as she kept on trying as she spun after spun until she got to kick him to the side, leaving a burn as the clone disappears. She sighed, taking it easy with her power.
"Yo! I need another copy please!"
The real Ectoplasm made another clone of himself as she used up her power and punched it with more burns as it disappeared again. He did another clone as it spoke to her.
"Your power... try firing off. You can cause burns just by punches and kicks. Do the long distance range and keep working on it."
She nodded as she raised her hands as she tried to blast it, but it's not working. She tried again and again, making her grow frustrated as she let out a groan with her mouth open, not noticing something's coming out inside, making real Ectoplasm's eyes widen. When Y/N took a deep breath, she released the energy, firing it towards the clone until it disappeared.
Smoke comes out of her mouth after, making her eyes widen in shock and cover her mouth.
"Did I... just release my power inside my mouth?"
"I believe you did. That's some ultimate move you did." Ectoplasm said, walking towards her. "Keep on doing that. The more you release it for you to control it. Remember try to keep a safe distance when you're battling against your oppponent. You might kill someone with that."
"Got it. I'll keep that in mind." Y/N nodded in determination as she did the same thing as she opened her mouth, releasing energy filled with unknown fire.
"Wow... She's already getting stronger." Ochaco awed. "Such a high level power I have ever seen."
"Uraraka, focus." Clone Ectoplasm said.
"Ah! Sorry!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After unlocking her first ultimate move, she went out to check if her new costume is ready as she headed towards the Development Studio. Y/N stopped and knocked on the door and it immediately opened to reveal Mei Hatsume as she remembered seeing her at the Sports Festival.
"Ah, Y/N! You're here! Just in time to see your costume I created just like you asked!"
"Great. Show me." Y/N said as she went inside.
"L/N. Glad you're here. Like Hatume said, your costume is ready. Those scales of yours that you sent were pretty smooth and very easy to make." Power Loader said.
"Here! Try it on!" Mei excitedly said, showing her costume as Y/N had requested. (Picture on top)
"Thanks, I'll change it. This is perfect."
"Always come and ask me when you need me to make more babies!" Mei winked.
"Right."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/N looked at herself as she's heading back to the Gym Gamma. She gotta admit Mei did a good job and looked very good. She's also wearing a black metal mask with red eye shadow that looked like flames and black eye liner. She had asked Kyoka if she could borrow her makeup earlier for the new look when she's in her hero costume to make herself look intimidating and dangerous.
As she went inside, her eyes widen just in time to see a large cement part falling down towards All Might who's in his skinny bone form and he didn't notice it.
"Hey, look out!" Katsuki shouted from the above of the high pillar.
"Idio--"
Aizawa was about to step in and save him when Y/N saw a familiar green lightning zoomed in towards the cement and destroyed it as she heard him yell 'Smash!'. She noticed that he used his leg to kick it as he landed gracefully. He had added new upgrades to his costume for his arms and his shoes as smoke came out from it.
"Are you alright, All Might?!" Izuku worriedly asked, getting up from his landing form.
"Yeah!" All Might said with a smile.
"What was that, Midoriya?" Denki asked.
Y/N noticed in front of her is Denki and Eijiro who are in their new costume and boy, do they look good.
"You just waltzed in there and showed some amazing destructive power!"
"I thought you were a puncher!" Eijiro agreed.
"Kaminari, Kirishima." Izuku said. "The destructive power was thanks to the soles Hatsume suggested for me. I learned how to use my body from Iida and changed my fighting style. I've only figured out what direction I want to go in, but it's still a stopgap, and I don't have anything I can call an ultimate move yet..."
"No, I think it's already more effective than just a stopgap. Especially for the provisional licensing exam." All Might said.
"All Might, it's dangerous, so don't get too close." Aizawa warned, walking towards him.
"Oh, excuse me! Young Bakugo! I'm sorry!" All Might called out, looking up.
Y/N looked up to see Katsuki silent as he's giving a dark glare before he scoffed and exploded.
"Watch yourself, All Might!"
"Geez... At least say it nicely with a hint of worry..." Y/N rolled her eyes.
"You guys made improvements to your costumes, too?" Izuku asked, looking at them.
"You noticed? Did you?" Denki thumbs up, smiling.
"You're not the only one with a new style!" Eijiro smirked. "The others are making changes here and there, too. This is no time to lose focus!"
"But my change in style is huge! You're in for a surprise!"
Y/N decided to walk over to the boys to surprise them with her costume and her makeup.
"You wanna see? You can! It's seriously amazing!" Denki said, showing his pointers on his right arm.
"You guys done complimenting each other's costumes?" Y/N voiced with a smirk.
"Ah! Y/N! You're here! Did y--" Eijiro stopped himself, feeling speechless to see her in her hero costume, finding her hot.
Denki and Izuku blushed as they couldn't utter a word. Y/N placed her hands on her hips, oblivious to their gawking faces.
"What do you guys think? Do I look awesome?"
"Y-Y/N... wow. You look..." Izuku said in awe.
"U-uhhhh...." Denki mumbled out.
Eijiro managed to snap out of it as he noticed something in her eyes.
"Woah! What's that on your eyes, Y/N?"
Y/N removed the mask so they could get a better look. Their faces went pink.
"I added eye shadow over my eyes thanks to Kyoka's makeup she let me borrow. I nailed it, right? Do I look scary to you?" she asked, bringing out her big claws to intimidate them.
"Looking good, Y/N." Denki slowly said, feeling lovestruck already.
"Thanks, guys. I made sure that all of my costumes are made from my scales I shed in my dinosaur form. Don't ask why."
She gave them the look before they boys get to ask as they immediately shut their mouth.
"That way I don't have to worry about them being ripped apart when I transform and they will present when I change back into my original form."
"That's a very smart and cool!" Izuku praised her.
"You look badass!" Denki complimented.
"And very manly!" Eijiro exclaimed.
"Oh, stop. You boys look good too." Y/N said bashfully with a swat.
"That's enough, Class A!"
They turned to see Vlad King with Class B students behind him as they're in their hero costumes. Y/N deadpanned to see the smirking Monoma in his ridiculous formal suit as she was not surprised to see him again.
"Today, Class B is scheduled to use this place in the afternoon." Vlad King informed.
"Class B?" Izuku questioned.
"Man, what terrible timing!" Denki hissed with an annoyed look on his face.
"Eraser, hurry up and get out of the way."
"We stil have almost ten minutes. You're not good at using time wisely, Vlad." Aizawa looked at him.
"Hey, did you know?" Monoma questioned, smugly smirking. "The provisional licensing exam has a 50% fail rate. All of you should just fail!"
Y/N glares at him, stomping towards him. The boys didn't get to stop in her time.
"Who asked you to say that to my friends?"
"Oh? What are you going to do about it? Bite me?" Monoma taunted, smirking widely.
"Yes."
His smirk disappeared after hearing that. He and everyone else are shocked that she just bluntly answered full of honesty.
"W-Well... I'll report you for it..."
"Then, how about you shut up, Mr. Pajama-Wearing, Basketball-Face, Fancy-Shoe-Weilding, Clype-Dreep-Bachle, Gether-Uping-Blate-Maw, Bleathering, Gomeril, Jessie, Oaf-Looking, Schooner, Nyaff, Plookie, Shan, Milk-Drinking, Soy-Faced, Shilpit, Mim-Moothed, Snivelin, Worm-Eyed, Hotten-Blaugh, Vile-Stoochie, Cally-Break-Tattie?"
Monoma has no words to say as his face looks absolutely priceless. Class A and B couldn't take it since they have been holding in while she keeps on insulting him without breaking a sweat with nicknames that sounded so funny, they began laughing hysterically, including Katsuki, Shoto, Fumikage, Mezo, and Koji, even Dark Shadow.
"Although, what Monoma said is half-true. We gotta be aware of our mistakes we're going to make." Y/N turned to the group, completely ignoring Monoma's presence as the laughter died down after.
Fumikage cleared his throat to calm himself.
"She's right. As long as we are taking the same exam, it is our fate to crush each other."
"That's why Class A and Class B applied to different locations." Aizawa explained as Vlad King approached him.
"The hero licensing exam takes place each June and September in three different locations across the country at the same time. In order to avoid students from the same school fighting each other, all schools suscribe to the theory of splitting up their students by time or location." Vlad King elaborated.
"Whew." Monoma sighed in relief, making Y/N smirk and turned back to him, making him flinch.
"Oh, that's too bad. I would LOVE to come play with you as my chew toy."
She showed him her ragged teeth with saliva coming out. His face turned pale, backing away with a gulp.
"'All schools,' huh?" Hanta commented. "That's right, I didn't really think about it that much, but we'll be fighting against other schools to pass."
Izuku nodded.
"And in our case, we're accelerating the process of getting them..."
"In addition, there are very few first years in the country trying to get their provisional licenses. In other words... the test will have those who've trained longer than you, with Quirks you don't know about that they've polished up until now. The actual contents of the exam are unclear, but what is clear is that you all will have a hard time. It's not good to get too hung up about it, but keep that in mind." Aizawa explained, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, sir!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside 1-A Alliance
"We're working so hard every day..." Mina groaned, flopping down on the couch.
All the girls, including Y/N who's holding the egg with the blanket are wearing the casual clothes after a hard training. Y/N touched her mouth as she could literally breath unknown fire that's atomic. She's gotta be careful when there's citizens in the middle of the battle in the future. She looked down at her egg to see it not moving still, but it will eventually hatch soon as she just have to wait.
"It's not called 'intensive training' for nothing, huh?" Toru said.
"Even so, there's less than a week left before the provisional licensing exam." Momo added.
"Yao-momo, how's your ultimate move coming?" Toru questioned, looking at her who had her hair down.
Momo lets out a hum, placing a hand on her cheek.
"There's something I want to do, but my body can't keep up yet, so I need to develop my Quirk a little more first."
"What about you, Tsu?" Toru turned to Tsu who had her hair tied up, holding a strawberry milk.
"I've perfected a move even more frog-like than before. I'm sure even you'll be surprised, Toru."
"How about you, Y/N?"
"It was crazy. I can actually breath out fire that's almost atomic. More like an unknown fire."
"Oh, yeah. I actually saw that earlier and was about to ask. That was crazy and cool. I can already imagine you in your Indoraptor form when you breath out fire, you're like a dragon already."
"I have done that actually in my form. And yeah, I do." Y/N said, petting the egg as she remembered something. "Oh, I almost forgot. I wanted to thank you for letting me borrow your makeup. I should return it to you."
Kyoka waved her hands, shaking her head.
"Oh, no. You can keep it. I have more."
"Are you sure? It is yours."
"Yes. I insist. And you're welcome. I bet the eye shadow and eye liner must have paid off."
"Yeah. With you teaching me how to do makeup, I thank you again."
"Woah!" Mina sat up. "You were wearing a makeup during the training?!"
"Yeah. I thought of doing a new look to make myself look scary when I meet the villains in the future battle. You wanna see?"
"Sure!"
"I wanna see!"
"Me too!"
Y/N showed them her phone with a picture of herself in the makeup.
"Are you trying to look gothic like Jiro?" Mina teasingly asked.
"Nah. Just trying something new."
Momo giggled. "Don't we all?"
"What about you, Ochaco?" Toru asked, turning to Ochaco who's lost in thought, holding a white milk with a straw in her mouth.
Tsu tapped her arm.
"Ochaco?"
Ochaco jumped with a surprised shriek and turned to Tsu with a 'Huh?' sound.
"You seem tired."
"Oh, no, I'm not tired at all. I'm just getting started!"
The girls blinked in surprise by her sudden nervous tone like she's hiding something.
"You sure? You seem to be lost in thought." Y/N looked at her, leaning in to get a better look close as Ochaco feel like she's about to scream as she unintentionally revealed her feelings that was meant towards Y/N.
"At least, that's how it's supposed to be, but, how do I put it...?"
Ochaco's cheeks flared up with sparkles in her eyes.
"Recently, my heart's been feeling all stirred up..."
"It's love!" Mina shouted excitedly.
Ochaco explodes in a blush and begins to panic with her hands swarming around.
"Wh... What? Glove? Shove? Dove? I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Is it Midoriya, or Iida? You're always with them, aren't you?" Mina asked, grinning.
"No, no, that's not it! No, it's not, it's not..." Ochaco floated herself in the air by grabbing her face.
"She floated..."
Y/N tilted her head in confusion if they mean love is family love.
"Who is it? Which one? Who is it?" Toru asked her in excitement.
"Spit it out. You'll get a lighter sentence if you confess." Kyoka teased.
"That's not it really!" Ochaco shouted. "I really don't know anything about that stuff..."
"It's not good to force an investigation, you know." Tsu quickly interjected, having a feeling that Ochaco's crush could be Y/N who's still confused.
Momo did the same, knowing what Tsu was up to as she knew and stood up.
"That's right. More importantly, we have an early start tomorrow, so we should turn in."
"What? No way! I want to hear more!" Mina whined, secretly hoping it was Y/N.
"Guys? What's love? Is is a family love?" Y/N finally asked.
The girls immediately went silent as they realized that she's oblivious about romantic love and had no idea what that is. This is their perfect chance to show their meaning of love and they will win her heart.
"L-Let's talk about ultimate move! Jiro! How's yours?" Mina quickly changed the subject, turning to Kyoka.
"Oh! Um..."
Ochaco spun around her body to face Y/N who just shrugged it off and looked back down at her egg in a loving manner. This made Ochaco blush even more with sparkles in her eyes. She let out a dreamy sigh, hoping one day she'll kiss her. Y/N felt eyes on her and looked up to see Ochaco floating. She tilted her head rather cutely as she looked at her in curiousity if there's something in her mind. Ochaco panicked and tried to look away, but her piercing stare makes her stay put. Y/N stood up, holding the egg carefully and reached her hand out towards her and grabbed her, pulling her down back to the couch next to her.
"You doing okay?"
"Y-Yeah! Thanks!"
How embarrassing for Ochaco to stare like that.
