"Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-It's there! Minoru Mineta!" Mineta cheer

"It's there..." Jiro sigh in relief

"I see it!" Iida said happily

"All right" Shoji said

"Uraraka!" Uraraka cheer

"Whew..." Sero sigh in relief

"Hmm" Tokoyami nod smiling

"I'm so glad..." Ojiro said relief

"Merci!" Aoyama cheer

"It's there!" Sato cheer

"Yay!" Mina cheer

Koda gaped happily

"Little strokes fell great oaks" Yaoyorozu claim happily

"Kero" Asui croak happily

"I did it!" Toru cheer

"Aw, yes!" Kaminari cheer

"I'm there! But..." Kirishima said happily but then he look at Bakugou worry

"It's not there!" Bakugou complain

"Yo... Yoarashi! Yo...! There's nothing after "Yu".... It's not there after all, huh?" Inasa said depressed. Todoroki's name also didn't appear

"Todoroki!" Inasa call him making him to turn around and see Inasa in front of him. Inasa then bow down to the ground "Sorry! It's my fault that you didn't pass! It's because I was too narrow-minded! I'm sorry!" Inasa apologize

"I started it in the first place. Don't worry about it" Todoroki assure

"But-!" Inasa said

"There were things I realizes thanks to you confronting me directly, too" Todoroki claim

"Todorki... didn't pass?" Mina ask surprise

"Both of our top two failed?" Sero ask surprise

"You should rethink your abusive language. Words are important, you know" Kaminari told Bakugou

"Shut up. I'll kill you" Bakugou threaten

"Because they are both highly skilled, they end up fighting against their won egotism. The hierarchy's collapsing...!" Mineta claim when Iida clap his face and take him away

"Todoroki... Yaoyorozu said worried

"Um, next we will pass out your results. They will have the breakdown of your scores, so please look over them carefully" Mera announce

"Kirishima" A staff give Kirishima his paper

"Thanks so much!" Kirishima reply happily

"Hand it over..." Bakugou requested creepily

"That's not how this works" Kirishima reply nervously

"Kaminari, lemme see!" Toru shake Kaminari's arm

"Wait a sec, I haven't looked at it yet" Kaminari denied

"The cutoff score was 50 points. We scored based on a demerit system. You can see how many points were taken off for which actions all listed out on the printouts" Mera announce

"61 points... I barely passed..." Ojiro said nervously

"I got 84! Look, isn't it amazing! I'm kind of good at this, huh?" Sero bragged

"Wait, You-momo, you got 94 points?!" Jiro yell surprise

"Iida, how'd you do?" Uraraka ask

"I got 80 points. Overall, I think I had trouble with practical application. what about you, Uraraka?" Iida explain then ask

"I got 71 points. I lose points mostly because I acted before I think ahead" Uraraka explain feeling a little disappointed

"I'm thankful that they tell us what we need to improve on!" Iida claim happily

"Yeah" Uraraka agree

"Um, for those of you who passed, from now on, during emergency situations only, you may exercise authority the same as that of pro heroes. In other words, fighting villains, saving people from criminal acts or accidents. You may act on your own judment in these cases without the direction of a hero" Mera announce

"However, this means that each and every one of your actions carries with it a responsibility towards society" Mera added

"With All For One who responsible for most of the organized crime in Japan is now dead, these organized crime became more active since there are no longer anyone with authority to control them all. Survey from the Hero Public Safety Commission and the help from observation from the police and Ranger Corp, we have an alarming conclusion. Villains are on the rise, even with All Might, hero, police, and Ranger Corp already around, the villains still on the rise. If this continue the balance will be destroyed, and as the world changes greatly, you young people will someday become the center of society. Next, you all must become exemplar heroes and become great enough to suppress crime yourselves" Mera explain

"And those of you who did not pass. There is no time for you to feel dejected that you didn't have enough points. There is still a change left fir you all. After you attend a 3 month long special curse and pass an individual test, we plan to issue a provisional license to you all, as well" Mera assure making those who failed become happy

"In order to deal with this "future" that I just spoke of, we need as many good heroes as we can get. The first test was one to weed people out, but we would like to grow the hundred selected in that test as much as possible. That is why watched all of you until the end. As a result, we saw that it wasn't that you didn't have promise. Rather, once your inadequacies are corrected, all of you have the potential to be even grater than those who passed" Mera explain

"That is great right, Todoroki?" Iida ask smiling

"Stop that. You don't have to take it. Just take it easy. The hierarch-" Mineta is cut by Izuku pressing down his head

"Shut up or I'll make you" Izuku threaten

"Y-y-yes, sir!" Mineta comply nervously

"Midoriya, are you okay?" Todoroki ask

"No, you and those who attacked nearly killed me. I just got things patch up, but I need to see Recovery Girl to completely heal up" Izuku explain

"I see, I'm sorry" Todoroki apologize

"You two" Izuku call Todoroki and Inasa "What you two did back there is foolish to the point where you could go to jail. Your combo attack is good, but you realize it too late. You two need to yell at each other first and if I didn't intervene, a victim, before you realize that you two needed to work together to fight me" Izuku lecture

"I know" Todoroki reply looking down

"My grudge have make me do some foolish mistake, for that I'm sorry" Inasa apologize

"You can't apologize to a dead man, so make this into a learning experience. You two are given a second chance, don't fuck it up" Izuku ordered

"Yes, sir!" Inasa comply and Todoroki nod

Timeskip, outside of the arena building

Izuku and Uraraka are standing side by side unsure what to do with each other

Uraraka remember Toru's and Mina's words from a few days ago where they told her to confess after the provisional licenses exam, she blush when she remember it >///<

Meanwhile Izuku remember his conversation with Kei where he is now realize that he is in love with Uraraka, but now unsure what to do

"Ano..." Both Izuku and Uraraka said at the same time surprising them both

"I'm sorry, go ahead" Izuku apologize

"No, no, no, no, I'm sorry as well. You go first" Uraraka apologize

"..." Izuku is unsure what to said, he though for a moment then "Congratulations" He said

"Huh?" Uraraka said confuse

"You are now closer to your dreams, right?" Izuku ask

"Oh, yeah! You remember it" Uraraka said smiling

"Every motivations are unique, and I remember yours" Izuku claim smiling

Uraraka skip a beat when she see that smile

"So what are you gonna said, just now?" Izuku ask

"I..." She about to say something but hold it off and look down

"You okay?" Izuku ask confuse

Uraraka shake her head "I'm fine. How about you? I heard you have some injury from being the villain" Uraraka ask worried

"Yeah, I nearly died for the 5th time since I go to U.A." Izuku reply pounding his chest

"You sure you okay?" Uraraka ask genuinely worried

"I'm fine, I'll live" Izuku assure smiling making Uraraka to also smile

Izuku and Uraraka then smile at each other for some time, unaware that they are being watched by some people

Uraraka realize what happen then blush >///< "I'm gonna go ahead, see you, Midoriya!" She yell before running to the U.A. bus

Izuku just look at her amused when someone call him

"I see what just happen, Delta" Someone said making Izuku to sigh out

"What did you see, General?" Izuku ask as he face the person turns out to be his father, Hisashi Midoriya

"The way you look at her, and the way she look at you" Hisashi reply smiling

"There's nothing between us, sir" Izuku claim

"I never said there's something between you two" Hisashi said smiling "But is she the one?" He ask

"I don't know what are you talking about, sir" Izuku reply a coldly

"Sigh, we're sorry" Hisashi apologize

"We?" Izuku ask confuse

"Me and your mother. You are like this because we are not there for you when you needed us the most. Technically speaking we neglected you, and for that we're sorry" Hisashi explain apologetically

Izuku is a little surprise since his father never talk about their personal life before "It's all right, sir. I understand" Izuku assure

Hisashi smile before looking away "It's kind of sad that me and your mother only know you as Delta 9-1, not Izuku Midoriya. I need you to know that we regretted that we unable to see you grow from a baby that we left in the orphanage into this fine young man standing in front me right now. We might not show it, but we are proud of you, son" Hisashi explain

"... all of this is... too sudden, sir. I don't know how to react" Izuku reply unsure what to do

"Make sense. The only "family" bond that you have are with First Lieutenant Nakamura. But you need something else, not a brotherly bond, but love. A pure love from someone who care about you so much" Hisashi said

"Love, huh?" Izuku said then he remember the conversation with Kei where he realize he love Uraraka

"Me and your mother are not asking you to reconnect with us, since we realize it's already too late. But what we asking you to do is to find love, to find happiness. And since we can't give you that, maybe that girl can" Hisashi explain as he look at the U.A. bus

Izuku the look at the bus and spotted Uraraka, she is talking to Asui and smiling happily, he smile a bit before looking back to Hisashi

"If she can give you love and make you happy, then we won't stand in your way. You deserve that happiness" Hisashi claim smiling

"Maybe, but I'm still not sure" Izuku claim looking down

"Just take your time, it'll be fine. Me and your mother worked out, so why you can't?" Hisashi claim

"All right, sir. I'll see what I can do" Izuku reply smiling

"Good, though a little advise. If in the future you two decide to get married and have children, promise me that you will treat you child properly and don't make the same mistake that me and your mother make" Hisashi said seriously

"I'm not sure about the distance future, but I give you my word, Dad" Izuku stated smiling

"Good" Hisashi reply smiling as well

"Now getting back to Ranger business, is there are more paperwork I need to do?" Izuku ask

"Negative, no paperwork. You're in the clear" Hisashi answer

"Thank God" Izuku said thankful

Hisashi smile a bit before getting serious "We though when AFO is dead, crime and terrorist will decrease. We we're wrong" He said seriously

"We are living in a sick world with sick people living on it" Izuku reply

"And yet, this world is the world where we vow to protect whatever the cost" Hisashi claim

"With the slow but steady rise of villains and the Ranger's reach being decrease, there will be a time where we won't be able to do our job to protect this world" Izuku claim

"And when that time came, we will fight to the last squad, to the last soldier, to the last bullet, to the last drop of blood to protect it. And if we can't protect it" Hisashi claim

"We'll be damn sure to avenged it" Izuku finish

"Ooh rah" Izuku claim

"Ooh rah" Hisashi claim "So are you ready for that, Delta 9-1?" He ask

Izuku smirk "Well, sir. You make the call, I'll make the shot" He claim seriously

"Excellent" Hisashi reply smiling
