[Y/n] has wanted to be a hero for as long as he could remember. The act of helping people filled him with a bright feeling he couldn't explain. Armed with his determination to become a hero and save others, [Y/n] will have to overcome both personal...
On the bus, Kirishima insisted we sit together. He excitedly ranted about his favorite hero, Crimson Riot, until we arrived back at the main campus.
Despite my quiet reassurances that I could get home fine, Kirishima insisted on walking me home. He claimed it would be 'unmanly' if he didn't. Most of the walk was spent with his constant chatter.
Finally reaching my home, I thanked him quietly. "Oh! Here's my number so we can stay in touch!" He beamed excitedly, handing me a small piece of paper in my hand. He waved before down the sidewalk to his house.
I smiled to myself softly as I entered the house, thinking of my new friend. I headed into the kitchen, excited to tell my mom about it when I noticed a note on the coffee table.
'[Y/n], Sorry, darling! There was an emergency at the hospital and I was called in. I'm sure you did amazing at the exam! I'm so proud of you! I left some money on the table so you can order [f/f]. I'll be home as soon as I can. I promise I'll make it up to you! Love, Mom ♥️'
I let out a dejected sigh and pulled out my phone. Opening the app to my favorite restaurant, I placed the order before deciding to send Kirishima a text so he would have my number.
To: Kirishima hi kirishima! its [L/n]! just sending a quick text so you have my number too :)
The response was nearly immediate.
From: Kirishima Hey [L/n]! :D btw thx again for saving me at the exam!! u were awesome!!
To: Kirishima so were you! it was no problem, im just glad ur safe!
The doorbell rang suddenly, reminding me of my order. Snatching the money from the table, I went to accept the order. I mumbled a quiet thanks before closing the door.
Settling back on the couch, I turned the tv to a random channel before digging into my [f/f]. After a while, I was interrupted by a text notification.
From: Kirishima im glad ur ok too! i hope u have a good day bro!!
Smiling to myself, I finished my food before getting a quick shower and heading to bed early.
The next week passed by slower than ever as I awaited my results from UA. I ended up texting Kirishima a few more times. I was excited to have made a new friend.
"[Y/n]!! [Y/n]!! The letter," my mom dashed into my room one morning with a dazzling smile, "It's here!"
She presented me with a crisp white envelope. My heart was beating out of my chest as I took the letter from her. Mom left the room to give me some privacy while I opened it.
Carefully pulling it open, I stared confused at the little disk that fell out. After some poking and prodding, a hologram was projected and my eyes were met with All Might!
"YOUNG [L/N]! GETTING STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, A SCORE OF 7 ON THE PRACTICAL WOULD TYPICALLY RESULT IN FAILURE!" I felt my heart drop but the wording confused me. Typically? "THAT WOULD BE THE CASE IF YOU WERE ONLY AWARDED VILLAIN POINTS!"
He smiled blindingly before gesturing to a screen beside him. It began playing clips of me when I popped people out of danger. "AS WE ARE A HERO SCHOOL, WE ALSO HAD A PANEL WHO AWARDED POINTS FOR HEROIC ACTS! DUE TO YOUR QUICK ACTIONS, I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE YOU EARNED 69 RESCUE POINTS! WITH A TOTAL OF 76 POINTS, I'M HAPPY TO WELCOME YOU TO YOUR HERO ACADEMIA!"
With that final exclamation, the hologram flickered off leaving me in silence.
Suddenly hit with a wave of relief, I laughed excitedly and ran out of my room. I tackled my mom into a hug yelling, "I made it! I passed!"
She squealed in excitement and spun me around. "I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it! My baby is gonna be a hero!"
She pulled back from the hug and smiled sweetly. "Go get ready! We need to go out and celebrate!"
We decided to out for ice cream and [f/f] followed by a walk through the park. I was definitely excited about getting into UA but mostly I was happy my mom had time to hang out with me. I've missed her a lot. We ended up staying in town until dark to watch the sunset. It was the best day I've had in awhile.
The next day, I got a text from Kirishima congratulating me on second place..
To: Kirishima thanks! congrats to u too for getting third! it was super close!
From: Kirishima yeah!! its super manly that u got so many rescue points!! 💪 i hope we get in the same class!!!!
After exchanging a few more texts with the charismatic boy, I decided to try designing my hero costume before the deadline. I knew I wanted to appear comforting but I also needed the costume to be practical so I requested first aid supplies as well.
I sketched out a few ideas that didn't quite fit before settling on my final sketch. It had both utility and provided a warm demeanor. Nodding to myself, I was ready to begin my life as a hero in training.
