Chapter 33: Arriving at the Exam Location

~|✧|~

______________________________

today is the morning of the licensing exam. I wake up to a facetime call from my mom and answer it.

"hey mom, what's up?" I ask rubbing my eyes since I just woke up.

"did you just wake up!?" I hear the annoyance in her voice, I'm about to be yelled at.

"uhm no?" I convincing lie. 

"young lady! you should've been up hours ago to train! today is your hero licensing exam, does that matter to you at all?" she continues her lecture.

"don't you want to be a hero? you have to ace this tes-" I cut her off by ending the call.

of course I want to be a hero, and I think I've finally found my motivation for it. before I would always say that its "my destiny to succeed my mother" and that "it's an honor to fulfill her legacy" but I hadn't realized how bad it was that my only motivation for being a hero was because that's what my mom wanted me to be.

being a hero will be my way to pay reparations for what I've done. I'm not going to turn myself in (because jail is scary, and my mom is scarier) instead I will save as many people as I possibly can in my lifetime to make up for retiring the Symbol of Peace. 

nothing I do will put a candle light to what that man can do, but if I can make a difference I'll be happy.

I crawl out of bed and put my uniform on. usually the pre-test anxiety for me is enough to kill any person but now that I don't live at home anymore, I can't face the repercussions of failing. 

I can finally breathe.

I take a look at myself in the mirror and strike a pose. I'm hawt. 

I continue my morning routine and then head out to the main building. 

"as you all know today is the Licensing exam." Mr. Aizawa says in his usual monotone voice. 

"grab your hero costumes and head outside to the buses." He motions to the wall containing all of the suitcases full of our costumes.

we each grab our cases and then go outside like he says to see the buses. we all load up and drive out to the provisional licensing exam location at the National Dagoba arena.

"ugh... I'm getting kind of nervous" Jiro groans.

"I wonder what they're gonna make usth do. ugh what if I can't get my licensth" Mineta whines 

"Mineta, don't ask if you can. say you will" Mr. Aizawa mutters.

"uh yeah right sthure! I've got thisth" Mineta says now suddenly confident.

"if you can pass this test and get your provisional licenses, then you novice eggs will hatch into chicks. you'll be semi-pros. I expect your best" Mr. Aizawa says to the class.

"I can't wait to be a heroic chicken!" Kaminari says holding up a fist.

"let's call out the usual you guys, on my mark! go plus-" Kaminari starts.

"ULTRA!" the whole class including some rando belts out.

"you know it's pretty rude to barge into other peoples huddles like that, Inasa" some purple haired dude wearing the same uniform as the rando scolds.

"what? pardon me. I AM SO VERY EXTREMELY SORRY!" he screams bowing so low that he bashes his head into the concrete.

"what the hell" I mutter very confused.
