License Exam

"What a day..." Throwing his clothes off, Aiden collapsed onto his bed and let sleep take him. One of the reason he hated using the forced adrenaline breathing technique was because it always sapped him of his strength whenever it wore off. Not to mention the fact that every time he used it, it would become harder to stimulate again.

After practicing his newly made techniques on Ectoplasm and Midnight, his astral energy levels were low. Coupled with his use of saving that child from the burning apartment and light stepping most his way home, he felt absolutely wiped out.

What he didn't know was that the video of him storming into the burning building and rescuing the baby was trending online and everyone was wondering who the mysterious hooded man was.

*Yawn*

"You okay?" Momo asked after seeing him yawn.

"I'm fine, just need to get my blood pumping."

Sitting next to her on the bus heading towards the license exam venue, the two finally managed to catch up properly and have a proper conversation without any awkwardness between them.

"And then he was like come at me bro!"

"*Gasp* What did you do!?"

"I pulled out my level 85 dagger and tore that bitch a new asshole."

"But wasn't he a level 109! Shouldn't his defense be too thick for you to penetrate!?" Momo asked so enamored by the conversation that she didn't even realize his crass language.

"Ha! While it didn't do too much damage, over time I managed to whittle down his health and eventually kill him." Aiden said proudly.

"Wow! Did he drop any loot?"

"Unfortunately he only dropped a couple of crafting materials and a level 93 silver ranked mace."

Just as the two were about to talk about a quest that he recently engaged in, the bus came to a sudden halt and Aizawa shuffled them out, not forgetting to throw Aiden a dirty look.

To this, Aiden could only smile.

'Guess he's still salty about what I did to Midnight and Ectoplasm.'

"If you guys are able to pass this exam and get your hands on a provisional hero license, you'll no longer be mere eggs, you'll finally become chicklings... Do your best."

'...He really sucks at speeches."

"Chicklings!! Hell yeah!!"

Feeling incredibly motivated, class 1-A hyped themselves up.

"Everyone gather around!" Kirishima encouraged. "We're gonna say it on three. 1, 2, 3, plus-"

"ULTRA!!!" An unfamiliar voice rung out from behind Kirishima and caused him to jump forward.

"Wait, what the hell!!"

Standing behind him was a built young man in a white shirt and a navy blue uniform hat. He had a magnificent smile on his face and kept staring at Shoto.

"Tch,its not good to insert yourself in other people's conversations Inasa." A purple haired boy with incredibly small eyes said. When looking at him, the first thing Aiden noticed was that the two were wearing the same uniform hat. But what really drew his attention was the brunette girl standing besides him. He couldn't say why but... She seemed familiar.

Feeling his gaze on her person, the brunette cocked her head to the side and made a 'O' with her mouth while looking confused.

Realizing that his schoolmate's words held some merit, the energetic young man called Inasa did a standing kowtow and apologized.

"PLEASE ACCEPT MY HUMBLEST APOLOGIES!!!" He slammed his head into the concrete so hard that it actually cracked.

'HOW EXTREME!!' Class 1-A thought in union.

"Hey, aren't those uniforms familiar?"

"Are you serious! Its them!!"

"Them?"

The students from the other schools whispered among themselves while staring at the 3 students wearing the uniform hats.

Taking a closer look at the symbol on the hats, Aiden realized why they were able to stand in front of them without fawning.

'Shiketsu high... the only school capable of standing equally with UA.'

"So that's who we're up against..." He muttered.

Looking at the energetic young man in front of them, Aizawa squinted his eyes."Inasa Yoarashi..."

"You know him sensei?"

Pausing for a moment, Aizawa didn't say anything and kept his eyes trained on Inasa. "He's... strong."

Hearing Aizawa actually praise someone, everyone in class 1-A looked at the student from Shiketsu high with caution.

"He's a first year student like the rest of you. Earlier this year he placed into your grade under a special recommendation. Not to mention his abilities, his grades alone were good enough to have UA open their doors to him... But for some reason he chose not to accept our invitation."

A wave of gasps spread throughout the class as no one could believe that someone would actually turn down a place at UA.

'Special recommendation aye? Guess that means he's at least on the same level as Shoto... No, Momo also got in through a special recommendation and her abilities aren't at the level where I view them as a threat. But for someone like Aizawa to acknowledge his strength means he's not a push over either... Just to be on the safe side, I'll assume that he's stronger than Shoto.'

While everyone was talking about this Inasa fella, a sudden voice rang out an caught everyone's attention.

"Eraserhead!? Is that you!!?"

"Huh?" Turning his head to the side, a green haired woman wearing a orange bandana entered his sight.

"T-THAT'S MS JOKE!!" Deku exclaimed.

Smiling at the fact that she had been recognized, the green haired woman confidently walked up to Aizawa and proudly said. "Let get married!!"

"Fuck off."

"Ooof." She grabbed her heart in a wounded manner.

"A simple no thanks would have been fine."

"*Sigh* You're the same pain in the ass as always joke."

Watching the comedic interaction between the two pro heroes, Aiden couldn't do much but look over at the other students in the area.

"Whatcha thinking bout?" Mina poked him.

"Just wondering how strong everyone here is."

"Oh? Anyone stand out?"

"Besides that Inasa guy? Everyone elses auras are pretty weak."

"Auras?"

"Nothing." He smiled and pet her.

"Let me introduce you." Ms Joke suddenly said drawing Aiden and Mina's attention.

Walking up from a distance was a small group of students from some other school that Aiden didn't recognize.

"Well then, why don't you say hello to my students."
