After arriving back at U.A., I head back to the nurse's office. When I get there, Chisa and Momo are sitting there chatting.
"Momo, I'm back" I say smiling at her.
"Oh, Izuku. welcome back" Momo says.
"Well how did it go?" Chisa asks.
I walk next to the two of them and sit down next to momo saying "I'm pretty much guaranteed to pass."
"Really? You seem confident about that… why?" Momo asks while taking my hand in hers.
"Well, the exam was graded based on how many points we got. These points were obtained from defeating robots with numbers one through three on them. I counted up my points and I got 76 points" I say explaining.
Chisa grins and says "That is quite a lot Izuku, yeah you should pass with flying colors." I smile at that, knowing that wasn't the only thing that was graded.
I rub my right arm remembering the zero-pointer, which causes Momo to ask "Izuku are your arms alright?"
"They are now, but I shattered the bones in my right arm earlier."
"You what!?" Momo almost screams out before letting go of my hand and checking me for injuries.
"I'm fine now, Recovery Girl healed me."
"What happened?" Momo asks.
"Well there was this big robot that gives zero points and a girl was trapped under some rubble."
"A girl?" Momo asks.
"Yeah, she needed help. I picked her up and got her to safety. I went back to take out the robot to make sure it didn't hurt anyone else, that's when I broke my arm."
"Well good job Izuku" Chisa says before looking over at momo smirking "looks like my student has some competition."
I cock my head at that, but then look over to Momo and she is pouting. Wait…. Is she jealous?
"Momo, I was just saving her from that robot. You know that if it was you, I would do the same thing right?"
She smiles a bit before saying "Yeah, but I don't want you to hurt yourself to save me."
"Momo I won't sit back and let you get hurt because I didn't act" I say grabbing her hand.
We stare at each other before hearing Chisa say "Alright you two, you've flirted long enough. Why don't you both head home and I'll see you later." We both nod and head home for the day.
A week later the letter from U.A. arrives and I head into my room to open it.
Opening it up I look inside to find a disc and a letter. I take both of them out and set them on my desk, which causes the disc to light up.
"Booyaa I am here as a projector now" it says showing a bulky All Might in a yellow suit.
"I know it's been a while, but with great power comes a great amount of paperwork" he says and then coughs.
"Apologies for that, but you are looking at a new U.A. faculty member" he says before a hand sticks out motioning him to get on with it.
"Yes what's the matter? Whose showboating? Oh sorry, i'll rap it up" he says while the hand continues making sign and then gives him a thumbs up.
All Might sighs and then goes on to say "Now young Midoriya, while being a hero it is not necessary to have incredible grade, you excelled. You aced the Written exam and from what the teacher in charge said, you did it with time to spare. Well done."
"Wow, really? I knew I did well, but that's great" I say happily.
"On the matter of the practical exam you excelled as well. You obtained 76 combat points in the exam just shy of placing first in the exam on that alone. Of course that wasn't the only thing graded in that exam."
"I know it wasn't" I say to myself.
"U.A. is looking for exemplary heroes, how could they grade you on how many villains you defeat alone. That's why there are rescue points, a panel of judges award points for heroic acts beyond just fighting villains."
The screen changes to show a scoreboard for the rankings and he continues "Izuku Midoriya 80 rescue points and Ochaco Uraraka 60 rescue points."
I stare blankly at the screen for a bit noticing that with the 80 rescue points, I scored 156 points. "You saved her and got her to safety made, before taking on that big robot with the aid of her Quirk. The two of you saved the rest of the students from it and after she came over to your own aid, to see if she could help you."
"The two of you were great examples of what a hero should act like. If i'm gonna be honest, I'm so proud of you young Midoriya. Your total score is 156, which other than myself, is the highest score U.A. has ever had. You earned that first place spot" he says showing the scoreboard with my name in first place, Uraraka's name in second and Kacchan's name in third.
"You both passed the exam, congratulations. Welcome Izuku, your now part of the Hero Academia."
The projection stops and I look at the letter, which says that i've been accepted into the Hero course. He goes on with my score and ranking, but at the end shows details about things that I need to do in preparation for school.
The clothing allowance…. Well at least my quirk is registered properly this time. I better let mom know how I did. I get up and walk to my door to open it. After opening it I see my mom pacing back and forth, so I show her a smile.
"I got first place mom" I say.
"Oh" she says before tearing up and hugging me "That's great honey."
"Mom, I'm gonna call Momo and give her the good news."
"Momo? Who is that?" she asks while looking at me curiously.
I blush and play with some of my hair nervously before saying "She's my... girlfriend mom. We have been in the same class for the last couple years."
She smiles at me a bit and asks "How long have the two of you been dating?"
"We've been dating for about a month, but…. we have been friends since I transferred."
She nods, but then demands "Alright, you should bring her over sometime."
I freeze a bit, but then nod "Alright mom, I'm gonna give her a call quick."
I grab my cell phone and dial Momo. After a bit of waiting I hear "Izuku, did you get your acceptance letter from U.A.?"
"Yep" I say.
"How did you do?" She asks.
"Better than I thought. I aced the written exam, but the practical exam had an additional factor."
"Really? It didn't affect you entering U.A. did it?"
"I did well in that regard as well, they had a panel of judges score heroic acts. I got 80 Rescue points."
"Wow, that means you got 156 points right?"
"Yep. In fact, other than All Might himself I have the highest score for the practical exam."
"That is quite a feat, but you will be compared to All Might."
"Yeah…." I say trying to find a way to bring up something else.
"What's the matter? I thought you would be happy" she asks confused.
"Well… do you want to come over to my place sometime this week?" I ask nervously.
"Sure I would love to, but what brought this up all of a sudden?" Momo asks happily.
"I told my mom we were dating and she wanted to meet you."
"Oh! Umm.. do you think your mom will like me?" Momo asks nervously.
"Don't worry Momo, She'll love you" I say before trailing off "I mean I do…" Realizing what I just said accidentally, I slap my hand over my mouth.
"You love me?" Momo asks shocked.
"Ummm… yeah I do..." I say nervously.
"Alright i'll be over the day after tomorrow, does that work for you?" Momo asks changing the topic.
"Yeah that works" I say.
"Alright Izuku, have a good night."
"Goodnight Momo" I say ending the call wondering if it was a mistake to tell her. Hmm… I guess I will ask her about it sometime, I think to myself as I lay down in my bed to sleep.
