( 5 months earlier, the day after the C-rank dungeon incident. )
( Third person perspective )
[ Washington, USA ]
It is currently midnight there in the US. We see the unknown man standing in his room near the window while talking to someone on the phone.
" Fax me the information about the survivor. The number is.... " His talk on the phone gets interrupted by a woman in business attire coming inside the room.
" Mr. Hwang Dong-su , what happened that you called me this late into the office? " The woman asked after entering.
" Say, Lola, can I ask you something ?" Asked Hwang.
" Sure sir. " The woman replied quickly.
" Will it be okay if I were to kill someone in Japan ? " Hwang asked while turning his back towards Lola.
" .... " After a moment of silence, Lola finally answered.
" Are you seriously asking this....
Well, Japan is not yet included the Indian Treaty for criminal heroes so your trial will probably be held in the states. And considering the fact you're an S-rank hero who's in the top 20 internationally, there probably won't be any trouble with the Government. " Lola replied to Hwang while her hand was sshaking in fear
" Thank goodness. " Hwang said as he turned around. His face was filled with only rage and bloodlust. He wanted to kill someone.
" Some Bastard just killed My Brother. If I don't at least get to see his face, I won't be satisfied. " Hwang said as he crushed the phone in his hand.
[ Hwang Dong-su, S-rank hero.
Younger brother of Hwang Dong-suk. ]
' Everyone of brother's team died and there was only a single survivor. Brother isn't someone who would give up his life for his teamates. He must have used some trap to kill him. ' Hwang was thinking.
" I'll have to go to Japan. When will my schedule be empty ? " Hwang asked Lola.
" Sir, your schedule is completely full. If you leave now, the agency will be in trouble. " Lola answered him carefully.
" Okay then when is my schedule free. " Hwang asked her.
" After 9 months, sir. " Lola replied to Hwang.
" Okay then empty my schedule after that. " He said.
" Will it be okay sir? " Lola asked him.
" Of cource, more than anything, I wish that that Bastard is still alive after 9 months. " Hwang said as he looked at the paper that came from the fax machine. It had all information of Izuku Midoriya on it.
In this world, there are many strong heroes. Endeavour was the number 2 hero, but only for Japan . If the list of the strongest heroes was made internationally, then Endeavour would be the 19th strongest S-rank hero while All Might would be the 1st one.
------------------------------------------
( Back to present.)
[ UA Exam Hall. ]
When present mic saw a person suddenly appear in front of the boy who was speaking, he flinched for a moment and went silent.
' That kid sure is fast. Probably has some speed quirk. ' Mic thought.
After Izuku had walked back to his seat, Mic remembered what the blue haired boy had asked.
" Good observation candidate 7111. You're not wrong. You see, the fourth one is a trap. It has 0 points. So you just have to avoid it and focus on the other robots. The exam will be of 15 minutes and the more points you score, the higher your chances of getting selected are, So I'll just say the number one's catchphrase for you all...
Go Beyond!! Plus Ultra!!! ." Present mic said.
We were each then moved towards our testing grounds, and allowed to change into some other clothes. Izuku removed his jacket he was wearing and wrapped it around his hips and came out to the training ground.
There were 7 testing grounds from A to G. Izuku and Bakugou both were sent to different testing grounds. Izuku looked around while outside the gates of his testing ground.
He found only five auras that were slightly stronger than the others. One was a guy who was pretty tall and was wearing a mask and had multiple arms , other was a blond boy who was wearing a large belt around his hips, one guy had the face of a bird, one was a girl who had brown Bob cut hair, and the last was the same blue haired boy.
Izuku stood at the gate of the training ground and prepared himself. Suddenly a loud shout was heard.
" AND BEGIN!!!. " It was present mic's voice. Immediately, a message popped up for Izuku.
*Ping*
[ * Quest : Test of entrance. *
You are being tested, achieve first place and show your total dominance.
Failure to complete the quest will result in appropriate penalty. ]
[ Points acquired : 00
Time limit : 15 minutes. ]
Seeing this, a smile formed on Izuku's face and he used his skill 'Dash' to swiftly enter the ground while everyone was shocked by Present Mic.
" What are you all waiting for, there are no starting timer during any monster break or villain attacks. Go on. " Mic said from the top of a building while using his quirk. Then one after another, everyone started rushing inside the gate.
[ Inside a dark room filled with screens of participants. ]
There are many people watching the screens as the practical exams go on. There was also All Might standing at the side of the people sitting on the table.
" So, do you think there will be any strong participants this year, All might. " A small mouse-like silhouette asked All Might.
" If I am correct, then he should be among the people there. " All might replied to the person.
" Well let's just wait and see. " A woman's silhouette said.
[ Izuku's testing ground. ]
Before others had even entered the training ground, Izuku had already started finding and destroying various 1,2 and 3 pointer robots.
Minutes pass by after others also came inside and started destroying the robots. Izuku was destroying robots the fastest among all the others.
" SIX MINUTES REMAINING!! " The voice of Present Mic rang through the ground.
Izuku had already recieved a total of 93 points after defeating 19 one-pointers, 16 two-pointers, and 14 three-pointers. The one-pointers were fast and attacked in big groups, but not that strong . The two-pointers were average in everything and roamed in small groups. The three-pointers were slow, strong and moved alone.
Izuku continued to destroy robots one after the other and also saved a few of the candidates when he saw then in need. He then noticed that even though he had counted the points, the points on the quest goal were higher than what he has destroyed. So he came to the conclusion that there was some other factor that affected the score.
[ Meanwhile, in the same dark room as earlier. ]
" This year's candidates seem to be pretty good. Such a wide battlefield bring out the best in them. Some gather intel, some use their speed, some make quick decisions, and some are just pure Geniuses. " The silhouette of a bulky man said.
" But this year this one particular candidate strikes out from the others. This Candidate number 4719. His quirk register says he is Quirkless. Yet, he is currently the top scorer of this exam. But the thing is, he is one of the survivors from the Double Dungeon incident. " A man with long black hair and a white cloth wrapped around his neck said as he presented the mouse-like guy and All Might with a paper which had an old photo of Izuku on it.
" I think that this kid is one of the Double bloomers. Even though tests by the hero organization after he woke up showed that he was the same power, but the one now is completely different from the one in this picture " The person added.
" We will have to keep an eye on him then. " The mouse-like guy said.
All might was standing silently during all this and looking at the screen.
' I can't even imagine just how much pain you went through in that Dungeon, young Midoriya. ' was all that was going through his head.
" Okay so now let's release the Zero-pointer and begin the real test." Said the Mouse-like person.
