The Dragon Of MHA - Chapter 61

*Aizawa POV*

‘God damnit. Why does he have to beat up almost everyone he meets? I assume Gang Orca was supposed to be the final boss and pose a threat to the students. After all, he is a pretty powerful hero, but Natsu just destroyed him along with their plans.’

“Oy, oy, oy!!! Eraser! Why is your kid so powerful!?!?”

I simply shrug my shoulders while looking at the unconscious number 10 ranked hero, “How the hell should I know?”

Ms. Joke looks at me, “Don’t just shrug your shoulders! You’re his teacher!!! HE DIDN’T EVEN USE HIS FIRE!!!”

Shaking my head, “It’s… hard to explain. The point is, whenever Natsu is involved, throw any sense of logic out of the window and expect anything.”

Ms. Joke looks at me with a surprisingly serious look, “If you’re saying that…”

*Natsu POV*

‘Now that I’ve taken out Gang Orca, how will these upcoming events be?’

Returning to the evacuation station, I see that no one is there, ‘Looks like they evacuated successfully.’

Both of the boys were racing through the enemies, each trying to take out as many as possible. Unlike the canon, Todoroki’s ice wasn’t being countered by Gang Orca, so he was using it more instead of his fire. Since Inasa’s wind wasn’t getting affected by Todoroki’s fire, the two weren’t fighting against each other and instead, competing.

I stand there with a blank expression on my face, as Inasa blows away a dozen henchmen and Todoroki freezes double that amount, before turning around, “I mean, I guess…”

Moving towards the second loudest group of noises, this time it was the evacuees and the hero’s attending them. I look for anyone I recognize and I find Ojiro and Tokoyami, transporting some injured people over.

Walking over, I raise my hand, “Yo!”

They look over and a smile appears on their faces, “Oh, it’s you, Natsu.”

I point over my shoulder to where Inasa and Todoroki are, “You know what happened over there?”

Ojiro shudders slightly and Tokoyami begins to explain, “After you left, Todoroki started working on the villains. Soon after, that Inasa kid showed up, and for a few seconds, they had this awkward and intense staredown with each other. Then they both started attacking the villains as fast as they could.”

Ojiro shakes his head, “Poor dudes. They came here expecting to not have to do much, only to go against those two. Well, at least it isn’t as bad as going against you, Natsu.”

He laughs and Tokoyami nods in agreement, “Hmm, I can’t imagine anyone beating you.”

“Well, if they are taking care of that, then I’ll just continue res-”

An airhorn suddenly blares and Mune announces, “The last H.U.C. members that were deployed into the danger zone have been rescued. It may seem arbitrary, but with this, all the provisional licensing exam procedures have been completed.”

Tokoyami raises his eyebrow, “Looks like it’s over.”

“After we tally the scores, we will announce the results here. Those who were injured should go to the infirmary. The rest of you can change and then standby until we announce the results.”

Everyone cheers and starts heading towards the locker rooms. In the room for the males of U.A. Most people are relaxing.

Kirishima lets out a breath of air, “Phew, that was pretty good wasn’t it?”

Shinso shakes his head, “You guys are so far ahead of me. I didn’t even get a good chance to use my quirk… Especially compared to Dragneel and Todoroki…”

Kaminari shakes his head and points at Shinso, “Tut, tut, tut, my fellow classmates, let me teach you something. It is okay to compare yourself to others who are better than you so that you find motivation and push yourself to be better.”

He pauses dramatically, “BUT!!! You should never compare yourself to the dragon in human skin, Natsu Dragneel. You do that, and your standards are gonna be way too high. He’s basically a monster.”

Kaminari smirks, “Yup because I’m soo awso-”

“Because you can always say to yourself, “Damn, at least I’m not as bad as Kaminari.”

The whole locker room bursts out into laughter and Kaminari complains, “C’mon man, that wasn’t cool. I was finally having my moment.”

I chuckle and reply, “But still, I’m impressed, you actually said something smart for once in your lifetime.”

Everyone laughs and we all head back into the danger zone and stand in front of a large screen that was erected on a stage. Seconds later, Mune walks up to a podium that was placed on the stage.

“Ehh, everyone, thanks for all your hard work. Now, I will announce the results, but before I do that, I will tell you about the scoring system. Between us, those of us at the Hero’s Public Safety Commission and H.U.C, we had a two-fold demerit system we used while watching you. In other words, we were evaluating you on how few mistakes you made in a crisis situation. Anyway, the names of those that passed are listed alphabetically by last name.

The screen behind flashes blue, and shows columns of names, “Anyway, please keep that in mind while you check the list.”

‘My name should be in the first. Da, De, oh there it is. Dragneel, Natsu.’

Nodding in satisfaction, I ran over the complete list of names, and to my surprise, both Inasa and Todoroki had passed, ‘Ho? I thought that they would get points deducted for competing or causing unnecessary damage. But they managed to pass.’

Mune starts talking again, “Um, next we will pass out your results. They will have a breakdown of your scores, so please look over them carefully.”

A man in a black suit passes me a piece of paper, “Dragneel.”

Nodding my head, I thank him before quickly looking at my scores, ’97… What did I get deducted for?’

I continue reading my sheet, ‘Abandoning those in need to go fight a villain.’

I smile sheepishly, “Well, I can’t say that that’s wrong.”

Mune continues to explain, “The cutoff was fifty 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.

Around me, I hear various responses to the result, “Damn, I think I did pretty good!”

“Tch, so that’s why I failed, huh?”

“F.U.C.K!!!”

I appear right behind him and quickly scan his paper, ‘Crude language, rough handling. So he didn’t refuse to rescue others this time. Did I influence him somehow?’

“OY!!! PISS OFF, NATSU!!!”

Smiling easily, I reply, “Yeah, yeah, sure.”

Disappearing, I appear behind my next target, Todoroki, ’63. He barely passed too. Reckless endangerment of evacuees and fellow heroes. Excessive property damage, competing with another hero.’

Todoroki, unlike Bakugo, was much calmer about his score, and I could tell that he was contemplating his actions.

Dashing next to Momo, I startled her and Jiro, “Yo! What’d you get?”

Momo puffs out her c.h.e.s.t, “96!”

“Not bad, one point off of mine.”

Momo looked at me in surprise, “You didn’t get a perfect score?”

Jiro and Momo share a glance before laughing together, and Momo says, “That’s pretty accurate.”

Looking at Jiro, I ask, “What’d you get, Jiro?”

She frowns slightly, “83.”

Momo tries to cheer her up, “Don’t worry about it, Jiro. I’m sure that you did well on average.”

Jiro stills continue frowning, “Yeah, yeah, but you two are both monsters, especially you, Natsu.”

I smirk as I remember Kaminari and Shinso’s conversation in the locker room, “Yeah, I’ve been told.”

Mune starts to say, “Uhm for those of you who passed, from now on, during emergency situations only, you may exercise the same authority as that of pro heroes. In other words, fighting villains, saving people from criminal acts or accidents. You may act on your own judgment in these cases without the direction of a hero.”

He then goes on to give a speech about responsibility and the fall of the Symbol of Peace, and how we will become the rising stars of the next generation.

“And for those of you that don’t pass… There is no time for you to feel dejected that you didn’t get enough points. There is still a chance left for all. After you attend a 3-month-long special course and pass an individual test, we plan to issue you a provisional license to you all, as well.”

Leaning back I smirk to the rest of our class, “Well, that doesn’t apply to us.”

Bakugo cracks his knuckles, “Damn right!”

Kaminari lifts his hand up, “Yosh! Everyone, let’s go out tonight!”

I lift my hand up in celebration, “Alright! Kaminari is paying!”

“Eh?”

My classmates yell out, “YEAHHHH!!!!”

“Let’s goo!!!”

Meanwhile, in a secure prison cell, 500 meters below the surface, two people are talking, “The second semester is starting soon, right? Or, has it started already? I thought you were going to devote yourself to teaching… What do you want from me?”

The first man is wearing a white straight jacket and strapped to a metal board. His face was a patchy mess, with no eyes, and no hair. Attached to a ventilator, despite his beaten condition, the man still wore a smile.

While the other is a skinny man with shoulder-length messy blonde hair and sunken eyes. He is wearing an oversized red hero costume with white stripes and a dark blue cape.

“I just want to make things clear… All for One”

AN: Just bombed my Japanese Finals. Parents not happy. Everything is not daijoubu
