Take my Brain, or What Remains(ON HOLD)

Chapter 7: Houdini

Midoriya was staring at the small metal disk on his desk.

It wasn't exactly what he was expecting to fall out of the envelope. Said envelope had just been handed to him by Aizawa, who looked like he didn't want to accidentally reveal anything with his eyes.

The small, round disk had clinked and fallen with a thud, surprising him.

Why a...disk? Why not just a letter or a phone call, or something.

He spent a good ten minutes trying to figure out how to turn the damned thing on, but when he finally found the tiny button, which was way harder to find than it should have been, it blasted to life.

He sprung back with a start as the projection displayed itself, knocking over his chair.

Rhett beeped from it's spot in the corner.

"Sorry, sorry. Just got a shock."

He pulled his chair back under him and scooted back to the desk. The projection seemed like it was waiting for him to get settled. Freaky.

As soon as he stopped shuffling, the bright, bright figure of All Might in a luminescent yellow suit filled up the...screen? Midoriya wasn't sure what to call it.

"Damn, All Might?"

Midoriya was aware he knew very little about the number one hero. He had studied some other well known heroes he could find, some 'villains' that intrigued him and even this one vigilante. He found it really peculiar that there was so little information available about the 'Symbol of Peace'. He thought it was a bit suspicious.

Obviously the top hero in the country would need a certain level of privacy, but Endeavour seemed to be doing just fine with his privacy. The same with Best Jeanist. All top heroes, but there was literally nothing online, that he could find, that delved into any of All Might's personal life.

"YOUNG MIDORIYA!"

Midoriya startled violently.

'Oh right,' he thought, 'my results.'

"I AM HERE! As a projection!"

He smiled, rolling his eyes playfully.

"Well done on completing the UA entrance exam! As I'm sure you're aware, UA is very exclusive, so congratulations on getting this far!"

Midoriya was already losing confidence in his performance at the exam. Also did All Might shout everything he says? Or was that just an 'on-camera' thing.

"NOW, onto your results! You passed the written exam with flying colours, I applaud you!"

The green haired boy giggled to himself as All Might was very obviously reading off a cue card.

"And as for the physical exam, I can confidently say that you earned thirty four points! An admirable amount, but I'm sure you know how competitive the exam is. The cut off this year was at thirty five points. So I'm afraid to say that you..."

Midoriya leaned forward in his seat as All Might paused. He felt himself getting colder.

"HAVE PASSED! Well done, young man! You see, there was a secret, unknown extra aspect to the exam...RESCUE POINTS! How could this esteemed, world renowned hero school deny a hero-hopeful entry for doing heroic deeds? And so, RESCUE POINTS were created! And you, young Midoriya, have earned forty points, taking your total up to a whopping SEVENTY FOUR POINTS!"

Midoriya let out a massive sigh of relief, relaxing back into his seat.

"An excellent score, young man. You've even placed joint second overall! It is my pleasure to welcome you to UA's class 1-A, young Midoriya. This is your hero academia!"
