Y/N sat on the edge of his bed with one leg out and a knee near his chest. He stared at the ground with only one thought running through his mind. "Will I be able to get into UA?" He said into the emptiness of his mind. 

Right after the thought ran through, there were a few knocks at his door. "Huh?" He said while turning to it.

"Y-Y/N," the voice of his mother said to him through the door. 

Y/N was genuinely confused. His mother was never one to knock on his door, nor was she one to speak to him first. "Y-yeah?" Y/N said back in a questioning tone.

"Your... letter to UA came in today," she told him. 

Without a second thought, the boy stood up, walked too, and opened his door. The mother of the destroyer stared at him taken aback at him quickly opening the door. The boy looked at his mother's hands and saw a letter. 

"Is that it?" He questioned. 

"Y-yeah," she answered while handing it to him. 

Y/N reached a single hand to it, and his mother dropped it despite Y/N wearing gloves. "There you go," she said before principally running away. Y/N picked the letter up and closed his door. With it now in his hands, all he needed to do was open it, and the moment of truth would be revealed. 

The boy ripped it open and a device fell to the floor. A hologram popped up and All Might was in front of him. "Y/N L/N!! Welcome to UA!!" Hologram All Might told him. 

Y/N eyes lit up hearing this. "I got in..." the teenager thought. "I actually got in."

"We expect a lot from you. With a quirk like yours, you'll truly be a great hero!" The hologram told him. 

Y/N gazed at his hand. "Does All Might truly mean that? Or did the school make him say that?" He pondered. "Whether he does or not, I'll still become a great hero."

The boy turned to his door and opened it. Y/N then began a search for his mother. He wanted nothing more than to tell her that he got into UA in hopes of making her proud of the son that she birthed. 

"Mom? Mom? Mom?" He repeatedly questioned as he searched the house. 

The boy walked into the kitchen and saw her. "Mom!" He said excitedly. 

"Y-yeah?" She said back a little spooked. 

"I got into UA!" He told her. 

"Really?" She inquired. 

"Yeah! I did well on the physical exam. I even took down a huge robot!" He proudly told her. 

"How... huge?" She asked. 

"Take our house and stack 30 more on top of it," He explained thinking this would only further how proud she would be of him. 

To his dismay, pure horror spread across her face. "You destroyed something... like that??" She questioned. 

"Y-yeah," Y/N answered while also growing confused at her question. 

Even more, horror was shown on her face. She turned paler than a ghost, shook violently, and looked as if she was going to vomit at any moment. She knew that her son's quirk was capable of great destruction but not on the level that he just described to her. 

"I-I-I was wrong about you," she said. 

"You were?" Y/N asked while looking at her puzzled. 

"You're not a monster or a beast," she told him.
