Chapter 17: Conclusion to the First Saga

Shoji looked at the green-haired kid who'd just blown away the zero-pointer.

Everything happened in a flash.

One moment, everyone was running away as he lifted some rubble so others could get out of it.

In the next, that kid jumped up, surpassing some buildings, and punched that HUGE robot into the ground. However, from his following actions, the kid must not have had a way down since he panicked after.

Luckily for him, he was slapped in the face by some girl whose quirk slowed his descent and thus lived. Though landing on his purplish arm, which looked broken, must not have felt nice.

'Although that kiss he received didn't seem to be either.'

"Anyone else need a kiss of love to fix their injuries?"

An old woman walked around giving kisses to unwilling participants. Most passed out after, and she threw a brightly colored flag on their bodies before walking over to her next patient/victim.

A crew of people with a stretcher walked to the passed out patients, loaded them onto the stretcher, and pulled them into the main building.

Turning around to avoid her gaze, Shoji quickly started moving to demonstrate his health, 'There's a load of monsters in this school. If I want to stay, I'll have to make sure I don't fall behind.

He prepared to hunt down some villain bots before he heard a noise.

"HELP! I'M STUCK!"

Sigh

Running over to help this new person, Shoji thought, 'Suijin, you too. I'd like to meet you inside those doors.'

"HELP-"

.

.

Within the Shimizu household, a lively night was going on as noise could be heard all around.

"Enkai, don't look so down, you lost that bet fair and square."

"Fair? There's nothing fair about you and card games."

"You have no proof."

"Now, honey, this video wouldn't happen to be proof, would it."

A phone slowly descended from the ceiling in front of Akrai's face.

[Aiya: Her quirk allows her to stretch out objects to the maximum, allowing for things like the ceiling to become like a web like structure. This also works with her face and other things, making her look quite young for her…ag-...ahem, making herself a name in the fashion industry with her abilities.]

"What about him blinding me during Chō-Han and messing with the dice," Akrai said aggrievedly.

Looking at his friend, Enkai said the two words that nearly set Akrai off.

Slowly allowing Akrai to read his lips, Enkai said,

"No Proof."

Before her husband could get up to try and strangle Enkai, Aiya placed her hand on his head. She was sitting on the couch, and both Enkai and Akrai were seated on the floor near the coffee table with various board games on it.

She said, "Calm down. You just need a better watcher and moderator."

"I volunteer!" The three looked at Erena before looking at themselves. A silent communication occurred between the three in the span of a few seconds.

'Aiya.'

'No way! The last time I did that, she nearly broke my skin with her claw-like nails. How about you, honey.'

Akrai shivered at his memories, a couple of months ago, they had gone drinking, and Erena was in her own world.

She ordered a Shirley Temple despite not liking cherrys, and Akrai was the idiot who ate them while she left the table for a moment in consideration of this.

Once she came back, she was devastated. She bit into his left hand, and he had to get professional help to undo her that night.

'No.'

The two looked at the last one.

'Enkai!'

'No! Why's it always me to deal with this.'

'Your her husband!' The two simultaneously communicated.

Not allowing this bullying to stand Enkai lashed out, 'And Your her friends.'

'If you don't, Enkai—I'll tell your son about the Great College Clogged incident. I'm sure he'd be dying to know about some downsides to that quirk of his.'

Looking at his drunk wife, and back to his 'friends' who both made a shoo motion with their hands Enkai forced a smile and looked back at his wife.

"Erena you know—"

Her expectant look pained Enkai as he dreamed of another night of all the heat being sucked out of his body and being replaced by her frost-like arms.

"Well…Oh! Look thats Suijin."

Like a dog to a bone, she whipped her head around, and low and behold, her son was trying to creep up the stairs with some water in his hand.

She ran up to him and opened her arm for a big hug.

"Suuuuiiijiiinnnn."

He smelled the alcohol from her, and even he knew not to mess with her on days like this. Suijin laminated at his missed opportunity to escape by peeling his mother off.

"Yes mother." His rigid words didn't go unnoticed by her, but she was out of it enough to not care.

"I had your school card here from your entrance exams a week ago, and I thought we could watch it together, since your father doesn't want to hang out with me, I figured some mother-son bonding time was in order."

"I'd love that but…look! Fathers about to play another game."

Looking back at the trio trying to quickly start up another game without her she momentarily forgot about her mother-son bonding time and leaped back on the couch.

She was not going to let this moment go and allow them to give her, 'The game already started' excuse as they have done the last THREE times.

Enkai turned his head toward the retreating Suijin with the letter in his hand.

'Son I give you life, and this is how you repay me.'

'Dad, you're married to her, so you're to deal with her in sickness and in health forever, right?' Suijin smirked at his dad as he left for his room.

Once he arrived in his room and shut the door he looked at the card that revealed his future which was sitting on his desk.

'Ah, I can't wait anymore. Let's just open it.'

He sat at his desk and opened the letter only for a progection to play on his desk.

"Hello and thank you for taking the exam, Suijin Shimizu." The principle was floating above the letter like a projection.

"As we both probably don't have extra time for this, let's get down to it. You received 1 hero point for defeating a Villain Bot and saving Rikido Sato."

 Nezu's explanation about what Hero Points were caused that boy's face which he didn't save to replay in his mind. He gave himself a self deprecating laugh as he found the irony in his situation.

'I worried about how I could get points, went through an elaborate sceme which still almost cost me my life when I could have just not ignored the countless opportunity's I had to save people.'

He shifted his attention back to reality as on the holographic screen, an image of four letters addressed to U.A. was displayed.

"Now I'm sure you can recognize this one. The other three are from those who assisted you during the exam. It's usual for people to send requests to give away points, let alone four separate letters each talking about the same group of people."

Suijin's eyes widened.

The principle explained that those three asked for the same thing as him, Suijin thought that since he dealt the final blow to some of the robots, the points may only be given to him, so he asked if some of his points could be divided up for the others.

Though he didn't know if it went through, apparently it did!

"However, none of you will be getting that wish, for everyone has passed. We grade on a different basis here at U.A. than most people think and you and the other's performance was more than satisfactory for our school."

Suijin with his shocked face that looked pale, looked at his window. Through both dimly lit windows, Shoji, who's face was lit up by his own letter nodded at him. 

"Although we can't confirm that you were at the top of the entrance examines-"

Suijin stopped him as such a thing wasn't even on his list of expectations let alone desires he wanted to achieve.

"Nonono it's fine."

'There were some Serious monsters in that school.' And so along with this thought, he wasn't the least bit saddened by that piece of news.

"Well then-"

Suijin's expectations grew to the brink of boiling over.

"Suijin Shimizu. I welcome you to our school as a Class 1a student. On behalf of U.A.'s staff, we hope you enjoy your Hero Academia."

The hologram ended, and the only noise was from the people below enjoying themselves.

A tear rolled down the side of Suijin's face.

Hic

His breathing became labored as he struggled to contain his emotions.

.

Meanwhile, Nezu strolled through the streets, admiring the devastation his examines had caused.

"They've gotten stronger this year."

One small hole drilled through the tough cement disappearing into the dark non-visible hole.

{Second Gate, Area 45 Opening.}

With the robotic announcement from the speaker, the floor below opened, and unused villain bots could be seen arising. Though they were wet and appeared relatively fine they were infact "broken" and lacking combat ability.

Nezu observed the damage and then directed his head to look at the hole no bigger than the length of a man's forearm.

"Piercing through the concrete, hitting the sprinkler system, and having it spray on and disable all of the villain bots."

He thought of the interesting examines—no group that achieved this feat and suddenly laughed to himself.

"I can't even give the truth on their points. I mean, who would believe me if I told them that 200 three-pointers were defeated by a four-person team."

Nezu drank with his team as he ordered everything to return to how it was before he came here.

'This year is sure to bring many surprises.'
