Harry Potter and The Academy of Heroes - Chapter 5

----

Harry's life after the impromptu exam became much easier. While technically, he could do magic before just as well as he could now, he got access to much more material. Snape no longer locked his access to spellbooks other than school textbooks. He even gifted Harry a book called "Hundred and One Household Spells".

He then promptly told Harry that he would now be responsible for the upkeep of their living space in the teacher's dorms until the day of the exam. What a motivation to master those spells quickly.

There was also that Aizawa started to train him more regularly. Apparently, the guy expelled what remained of his current class, freeing much of his schedule. Snape gladly called in several big favors to drop Potter on the Eraser hero. Thus, Harry only saw Snape when they bumped into each other in the morning or evening. It suited him just fine.

About two weeks after the festival, Harry saw the sight that would probably traumatize him for a long time. Nedzu was running around the entire school, cackling like a madman while reading a book titled "Hero Analysis for The Future: Volume 12". For an unknown reason, it chilled the young wizard to the bones more than when he faced a rampaging werewolf.

Aizawa, when he heard about it, promptly ended their class and hid in his room.

Two days later, Harry was walking through the corridors of U.A. looking for Mirio and his friends. The upperclassman promised to show him the supposed 'best place in Mustafu'. He just turned the corner when he crashed into someone. Well, a more accurate description would be that a green-haired missile crashed into him.

"Sorry." The guy muttered while leaping onto his feet. "I've got a meeting with Nedzu-sensei. Gotta go!" He was about to resume his run when Harry stopped him.

"Wait. Midoriya, right?" The wizard recognized said missile. The cat ears made him rather memorable. Not to mention the whole business with phoenix tears healing.

"Oh! Potter-chan. Nice to see you."

"Yeah, same. What're you doing here?"

"Um... Nedzu-sensei wants to take over my training from All Might. Apparently, he wants All Might to focus more on preparing for the new school year. And he was interested in my notebooks." Midoriya's smile was so wide Harry started to wonder how exactly it was even possible. Then, a certain fact dawned on him.

"One of your notebooks wouldn't by chance be called Hero Analysis for the future?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh..." Harry honestly had no idea what to do with that fact. "Anyway, Nedzu is probably waiting in his office. Take the next left and press the elevator button with Chibi-Nedzu. It should take you right next to his office."

"Thanks." Midoriya was already running when he shouted that.

Harry should've probably been more worried, but he had no idea what he just exposed the world to.

The day of the entrance exam came faster than Harry expected. As a recommended student, his exam was a bit different. Instead of competing with the masses, he was among a very exclusive group of students that attracted the attention of important Pro Heroes. Or someone in the government. Or both. Or had money to buy that attention the treacherous part of Harry's mind supplied as he watched some of his potential classmates. There were several who Reminded him of Malfoy too much. They were snobby and treated everyone like they were beneath them.

"Man! This is so amazing! I'm so pumped!" A cheerful boy next to Harry shouted. "Are you pumped!?" He turned to the wizard.

"I guess. Potter Harry." He extended his hand to the boy. He was tall, with hair cut almost to the scalp.
