My hero academia: Stardust rising(Discontinued)

Chapter 2- Aftermath

Dustin walked down the hallway with drive and purpose, his hands in his pockets and his face neutral.

"Gotta be a staff member around here somewhere." He muttered.

The empty halls of the school were painted with a golden hue by the light of the evening sun shining through the open windows. Dustin paid no mind to the sight, scanning the halls for any sign of life while simultaneously thinking about the situation of a certain green haired fellow.

'He took out that 0-pointer like it was nobody's business to save that girl but it completely ruined his body....' he thought to himself, stroking his chin.

'Someone with that kind of power and drive to help others would make an excellent hero if he could just get a handle on it, that's what this place is supposed to be for.' he added.

Dustin then brought his hand down and clenched his fist.

'But he won't be able to master it if he doesn't get in. Damn it!'

The sound of extra footsteps approaching from behind snapped Dustin out of his thoughts and he quickly snapped his head around to see who was coming.

It was the rosey cheeked brunette from earlier, once again sporting her casual winter clothing.

"Oh hey, it's you." Dustin greeted, turning around.

"Took the words right out of my mouth." She replied, scratching the back of her head.

"Just wanted to say thanks for the save back there, school staff would've been scrapping us up in a bucket of it weren't for you." He stated, earning a chuckle from the girl.

"What brings you all the way down here?" He asked.

"Well, I heard the conversation between you and that boy and well..." She started before Dustin began to speak.

"You were on your way to see if you could transfer some points, weren't you?" He asked.

The girl's eyes widened, seemingly shocked by his statement.

"H-how did you guess?" She asked.

"Was on my way to do the same thing...but got a bit turned around." He said, shooting her a sheepish smile.

"I saw a map of the building earlier, I can get us there." She stated.

"Lead the way." Dustin said, letting her pass.

It wasn't long before they eventually did find a U.A staff member, the blond banana haired man from the auditorium.

"Excuse us, Present mic." The girl said.

The man turned to face the pair, his eyes were hidden behind a pair of yellow tinted sunglasses.

"What can I do for you listeners today?" Mic asked, his voice a bit too loud for Dustin's liking.

"There was a participant in the exam. Green curly hair, plain face with freckles. We were wondering if it was possible to give him some of our points." She explained.

"Huh? And why would you kiddo's want to do that?" Present mic asked.

"Well, he saved me from the 0-pointer but didn't score any points. So I want to give his some of my points." She stated.

"Ditto" Dustin added.

"Someone with that kind of drive to help others deserves to go here, so take however many points he needs to pass."

The pro hero's lips were immediately pulled into a wide grin.

"You two are some seriously cool kids, which is why I'm happy to say that there's no need for any of that." He said.

Dustin and the girl looked at each other for a moment before returning their gaze back to the pro.

"Don't worry about it too much for now. Just know that 'villain points' weren't the only thing we were looking out for during the exam."  He added.

"Alright then, thanks." The girl said, bowing before walking off.

Dustin however, remained silent. Give a quick two fingered salute before following the girl away from Present mic.

The girl looked over at Dustin as he walked beside her, noticing the remaining dust and cuts along his jacket.

"Hey, are you alright?" She asked. "You seem pretty beat up."

"Eh? Yeah, I'm good. I just didn't bring a spare change of clothes for the exam."

"Wait, if you weren't getting dressed after the exam. Then what took you so long to get down here?" She asked, tilting her head a bit.

Dustin averted his eyes for a moment and nervously licked his lips while trying to think of a lie but ultimately decided to just tell the truth.

"I had a chilli dog for lunch and it came back to bite me in the ass.... literally." He stated.

The girl giggled at the joke, which Dustin found surprisingly cute.

"Say, never caught your name." Dustin said.

"It's Uraraka Ochako."

"Well Uraraka-san, your quirk is pretty neat." He complimented "Is it like levitation or something?"

"No, I can just remove the weight from anything I touch. But using it too much makes me a little sick." She explained.

Dustin let out a noise of acknowledgment at her explanation.

"What about you? I never got a good look at your Quirk mister...."

"Kurokawa Dustin. And my Quirk.....is Kaioken." He stated.

"W-wait, for real?" She asked, stopping dead in her tracks.

Now it was Dustin's turn to start laughing. He stopped and held his fist to his mouth, trying to keep his chuckling contained.

"No, no. But it works kinda similarly." He said, regaining his composure.

Bells suddenly began to chime from the inside of  Uraraka's backpack. She reached inside her bag and pulled out her cellphone to turn off the alarm, only for her eyes to damn near pop out of her skull.

"Crap, I didn't see the time!" She exclaimed.

She turned off the alarm and looked at Dustin.

"It's getting really late. I gotta run, sorry." She apologized.

"Don't be. Just make sure you haul ass." He said, half jokingly.

With that she took off, power walking down the hallway before rounding the corner out of sight.

Almost a second later, Dustin felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw that it was a text from Koichi.

Koichi:

Dinner's ready. Don't miss the train.

Dustin simply smiled at his phone before replying. Boy, he had a story to tell Koichi when he got back.

You:
OMW.

Good evening dear readers and happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans. Apologies on the incredibly late night upload but procrastination is a bitch and I wanted to get this one out before the end of freedom day.

Dustin and Koichi have a heart to heart in chapter 3: "A new dawn"
