Chapter 5

I'm sat at home watching the small box TV, nothing better to do. I might go out and steal tonight but i don't know.

Groaning, i rest my head backwards on the back of the sofa but there's a sudden knock at the door. My dad answers and there seems to be some sort of postman. I watch closely as he hands my father some sort of letter before turning around and leaving.

Dad widens his eyes as he looks down at it.
"What is it?" i question, leaning forwards.
"It's- for you" he wheels over to me and places the letter in my lap "from.. UA"

I hadn't even told my parents that i'd applied there, i didn't even think about it if i'm honest. They don't know much about me anyway so what's another bit of missing information going to do?
"Oh, right" i say, unbothered as i pick it up.
My dads eyes begin to shine brightly as he watches me, probably happy i was trying to get back into education, specifically hero shit i guess. "I didn't know you applied" he smiles excitedly even though he's trying to hide it.
"Forgot to mention it, i guess"

I tear open the top of the letter, a small disk falling out. When it eventually settles from rolling around, a hologram of All Might appears which makes both me and my dad widen our eyes in surprise. We adjust ourselves to watch the strange device.
That hologram thing probably costs more than the entire fucking caravan.

"I AM HERE! to announce your status within UA hero training course!" He grins widely, giving the camera a thumbs up.

All Might clears his throat and then goes on to say "Now young L/N, while being a hero it is not necessary to have incredible grades, you excelled. You aced the Written exam and from what the teacher in charge said, you did it with time to spare. Well done. With that alone, it's impressive. I'm almost certain you could become a great hero!"

My dad continues to switch glances between me and the hologram, pure pride gleaming from his expression. I can tell from the excitement, his quirk is slightly radiating good energy. It makes me want to smile but i push the feeling down, continuing to watch the hologram.

"On the matter of the practical exam you excelled as well, if not more. You obtained 80 combat points in the exam just about placing first in the exam on that alone. Of course that wasn't the only thing graded in that exam."

I blink, not really knowing how to react since i don't feel much other than disgust about the thought of UA. I mean, i guess i have to fake excitement for my family. I force a grin, making sure to crinkle my eyes so it was convincing. I stare at the screen, not taking my eyes off to not look distracted by other thoughts.

"There were also rescue points in which you obtained... 2" the grin falters for a moment before he continues, the results board showing on screen. How the fuck did i even get 2? I hadn't really bothered to save anyone since that wasn't my priority. I had decided to just get as many points as needed, not protect other people who are in my competition. Eh, must've been an accident if i saved someone's ass.

I ended up first which i'm not very shocked about. However there's someone below me with 78 villain destroy points and 0 rescue points. I hum as i examine the screen. He wasn't far off of me. Perhaps this kid is the one Shigger is interested in. I look closely at the name just in case i have to keep him in mind...

Bakugo Katsuki.

To be honest, if he placed second, I've probably seen him before but didn't know his name.
Also the fact he has no rescue points leads me to believe he doesn't give a shit about anyone else and only himself. I suppose that's a suitable villain trait...
Still, i'm going to have to meet him in person to make a better judgement. At least that's definitely happening now since he got in to UA.

I snap out of my thoughts about the boy who's short from first place when my dad strokes my head. "Congrats on getting in, kiddo" he smiles widely.
"Thank you, dad" i stand up off of the sofa and give him a hug, holding his frailer-than-usual body close. I haven't hugged anyone in a long while since i hate it but it's the least i owe to him. Especially since i don't know how long he has left..

My phone buzzes in my pocket and i pull it out.

Dabi-Wasabi is calling...

-If you can't tell, i like my nicknames.-

"sorry one second" i mutter as i leave the room for my cupboard of a bedroom. I shut the door and answer the call.
"wassup, motherfucker" i grin into the mic of my phone.
"We've found out the name of the boy Shigaraki wants" He says casually.
"What is it?" I say and chew on my nail as i kick around some of the rubbish laying on my floor. I hope it's him. I hope it's the boy in second place.

"Bakugo Katsuki"

The name flows into my ear like melted chocolate and i smirk, recognising the name from only a short moment ago.

This is going to be good. Someone near to my level? I'm actually going to have fun for once. I'm now understanding of why Shiggy wants him. He's clearly very strong and with some extra training, i'm sure he could surpass us all. He'd be indestructible in the end, which is exactly what All for One wants.

"Thanks, Dabi-Deborah, tell Dust Boy i said hi" My smirk doesn't leave my lips. I cant wait to meet him.

Whoever this Bakugo is...
