Reborn In My Hero Academia With Superman Powers - Chapter 15
Optimistically the reset pointer would just be another part of the test and not actually reset your points. U.A was a hero school and what is more heroic than self sacrifice? But their logic did make sense, wasting your life when you could save a lot more people’s lives instead of wasting yours attacking an ȯbsċėnėly powerful villain. He knew he wouldn’t change a thing though, he managed to save Momo’s life. As Michael thought of this, someone else, was thinking of their Savior.
Momo’s POV
Momo knew she was usually alone, mainly due to her parent’s being incredibly rich and that the girls in her school were jealous of her. She was intelligent, rich, beautiful and had a good quirk. She wasn’t an idiot, but she knew she didn’t feel as beautiful, intelligent or that her quirk was as perfect as they described it. Her quirk required an extreme level of studying and intelligence, she had to understand something to create it. It also took a long time to create larger or more sophisticated objects. With how isolated she felt she didn’t feel as perfect as she was described. She was called arrogant, that she acted like she was better than everyone else.
The only other person she had heard being described to be as perfect as she was by her classmates was someone called Michael Steele, she had heard her classmates talking and fawning over him. She eventually got curios and looked him up, he was a relatively famous person her age, she started to regularly read and watch anything he posted on social media, the same as what many of her classmates at the all-girls school did.
He was handsome, almost supernaturally handsome. He was intelligent as well, maybe even more so than her, he competed in many different intellectual competitions, he was also incredibly strong, always earning first place in every martial arts competition he competed in, whether at a local, national or international level. Even his quirk was perfect, giving him super strength, speed, a form of invulnerability, heat vision and super breath, at least thats what he revealed. Momo suspected that he had a form of super senses, maybe more, he showed signs of noticing things he probably shouldn’t have been able to. What really got her to crush on him however, was the natural aura of kindness around him, how he treated people, his friends, she wanted to be part of that, cared for and loved when all she had really felt from her peers was loneliness and jealousy.
When she heard he was planning to go to U.A, she was ecstatic, she was also planning to go there and she would hopefully be able to meet him in person. Momo had heard he planned to go through the entrance examination like everyone else, as he felt it wouldn’t be fair to take the easy way out and be a recommended student. She thought the same after hearing his explanation and denied her parents when they got her a spot as a recommended student.
When they were at the exam hall, she noticed him being called out by another student for not treating the exam seriously, she and his many other fans had seen how hard he trained, how hard he worked to be able to be here. He trained longer than anyone else she had heard about, studied harder than even she did, and his quirk didn’t require it. She knew he treated it more seriously than anybody, and his reply showed that he thought the same.
They were eventually put into the same testing location, she watched him destroy probably the greatest amount of “Faux Villains”, but he never ignored anyone in trouble, he saved any examinee that was about to get injured. She tried her best in the exam as well, destroying a high amount of robots, as well as saving anyone she could, she was inspired by Michael and didn’t want to see anyone get hurt.
When the Zero and Reset pointers were released, she did her best to avoid them but one of them just kept chasing her, she didn’t want to lead it towards the other examinee’s who might get injured by it, but that was the direction it was forcing her to go. She decided to use the jet pack she used creation to make, and use it to maneuver behind the zero pointer to keep avoiding it and leading it away from the rest of the examinee’s.
It was faster than she thought it would be, and managed to hit her, she was falling and was too injured to react, the Jet pack was malfunctioning, she couldn’t create a new one either, it would take longer than the time she would have before reaching the floor. She was panicking and couldn’t focus on creating something to slow her fall.
Right before she hit the ground, flinching in anticipation of the pain, someone caught her, she was still in the air, someone with a flying quirk was probably the one to save her, she opened her eyes and looked up. She saw that the one who saved her was Michael Steele, he placed her down gently, then moved towards the Zero pointer that hurt her.
He could fly, that was the first thought she had, she didn’t know he could, he didn’t show any signs of him being able to fly. She saw him fly towards the zero pointer and destroy it in a single punch. She then noticed the Reset pointer closing in on them, it was about to step on her! She saw Michael fly towards her as fast as he could to get her out of the way, but it was about to crush her. She couldn’t get out of the way, she was injured and couldn’t create anything to save her fast enough. Her mind was in shock, too much had happened in so little time, she saw Michael get under the Reset pointers leg. She realized it would reset his points to make contact with it, and that he might get crushed! He pushed her away, saving her from being crushed, then pushed it to the opposite side. He then grabbed her and flew away towards the rest of the examinee’s.
Momo was feeling everything go black, she realized she was falling unconscious and fought against it, but she ended up unconscious on the floor of the testing location.
