Beautiful tragedy (fallen angel deku AU)

chapter 6

izuku POV

im so stupid! there was a hidden camera! I was so careless, I just took everything that hid my identity off without scouting the area! im so glad nezu was the only one who saw me, he seemed nice but he might just be trying to get information off of me. and why did I agree to become part of the new exam? i'm so dumb, their probably going to try to capture me now!

but then again nezu now knows my identity and made no move to force me to talk, I dont know what to think. im going to do this 2nd exam thing and then bolting, I dont want to go back on my word when he has a picture of my face. plus he offered me food and I cant deny that I do in fact need some, gods aren't very good at looking after humans despite literally being the reason they exist.

I'll just think about it while the exams on, no point working myself up into a muttering storm and maybe accidentally giving information about me away. im at battle centre B, ive been rotating between each battle centre randomly, I used a random number generator to decide which centre I go to as I tend to overthink these things.

at the starting point I could see pleanty of students, there was someone in a pink tracksuit who I admired because they actually pulled it off. there was also a shirtless dude for some reason but it could be for his quirk so I cant really judge. there was someone who reminded me in ingedium a little so I wonder if their related, he seemed very confident I himself so I dont think ill have to keep an eye on him.

there were pleanty of people with awed looks but there were also pleanty who were looking extremely worried so I'm debating maybe throwing some glitter to help them with their nerves because instead of being nervous they'll just be confused. plus I kinda want to annoy eraserhead who I know is watching this, im pretty sure I traumatised him with the glitter. yes I know his real name, it just doesn't feel right calling him that as he thinks im dead and plus im a vigalante so... I dont really think I have the right to.

anyway, back to the glitter! I always keep some on me, intentional or not. the glitter pranks occasionally backfire and its hell not only for them but for me as well. I get out my glitter bullets and load them into my gun. they're all harmless dont worry, the bullets explode in mid air due to the pressure and just cover stuff in glitter. nothing a few weeks of showers wouldn't fix.

I predicted where I should aim and fired, it just so happened the gun sounded at the same time present mic used his quirk so no one heard the gun fire. what I did hear was the confusion an the groans of annoyance however when the bullet presumably exploded, I did hear someone who seemed to be thriving in the glitter and it took all my my self restraint to not find them and attempt to befriend them.

I felt an examinee got too close so i transformed into my cat form, they just pet me before they chose to protect me from the 'big bad robots' as they saw one approach. it was fun going around the examinees as they each took it in turns cooing over me and then protecting me, they all banned together and made an unanimous decision to protect the cat.

even the strict guy who reminded me of ingedium pitched in, there was one close call where I almost got crushed by a robot head but I was saved by someone with a gravity quirk. I meowed my thanks and decided I would stay with them for a bit. it didnt matter if they saw me on the cameras as this is the first year I attempted this, it was kinda funny that this was the only year ive been spotted by the heros in training so far. this years students aren't going to be fun to run from in the future, they are going to be great heros. and im not just saying that because kacchan is here!

there was a minute until the exam ended and I felt the ominous shaking of the 0 pointer being released, the arena was now filled with children who were thing the same thing in some form or another but it was basically a shared thought of:
