Proclamation

We were chatting as we made our way back, running into Bakugo, Kirishima, and Kaminari along the way.
"Aw yeah, Class A represent!" Kaminari cheered.
"Our class is amazing! We did it!" Uraraka gleefully exclaimed.
I watched while Kaminari, Kirishima, Uraraka and Sero danced, cheering our class's name over and over and they hopped on each foot, and laughed at their contagious joy.

Bakugo, with his usual intensity, approached Midoriya. "So you passed, how did you manage that, Deku?"
Midoriya looked as if he was expecting Bakugo to continue his customary competitive dialogue, but he walked on by, "I guess I shouldn't be surprised with that power you got, guess you really made that power your own."

I was expecting Midoriya to look happy or confused but he looked terrified.

"Does he mean it like you're mastering it or something?" I asked. Midoriya definitely wasn't breaking his bones anymore.
"O-oh, yeah, I'm sure he meant that." Midoriya stuttered, a hint of unease lingering in his voice.
"You alright?"
"Yeah. I'm just happy." He reassured me, flashing an awkward smile. I returned a smile and called the others to head in.

Entering the cool anteroom, we discovered only twelve students from our class had passed. Just 11 more of us left and 18 spots left...

Ah, it'd be great if our whole class passed. We could throw a small low-budget celebration or something at the dorms.

A big screen was broadcasting everything outside the room. I caught Iida and Aoyama fighting and evading opponents together is the background —what a rare duo.

Worry gripped me as I tapped my feet on the ground. They had to pass, they had to. I imagined their upset faces — I couldn't bear it.

I sighed and kept my eyes on the screen as I approached the table for a bread bun.

Aoyama suddenly got on the floor and into a bridge position, shooting his laser up into the air, catching the attention of every other student. My heart raced, why was he making himself stand out?!

Class 1-A suddenly started appearing from behind the rocks and gathering. Even though everyone was charging forward at them, they stopped due to a huge flock of birds suddenly appearing—Koda's quirk!
The birds attacked and prodded hard with their talons, which was followed by Tokoyami's dark shadow who went around knocking people to the side and getting them stuck onto Mineta's balls that littered the ground. Ojiro took advantage of the situation and hit them down with his tail while Hagakure blinded them temporarily to allow the others to grab some points.

My eyes were lit, engrossed on the screen as I saw more of my friend's targets turn blue.

As Mera counted the increasing number of passers, I could feel shivers spread across my arms. Everyone in Class A passed! We passed!

When we heard that all 100 spots were taken, Kirishima, Kaminari and I raised our fists in the air, shouting "All right!"

"Well, for the hundred of you who passed the first test, please watch this." The speaker spoke.
We turned to look at the screen again and saw buildings. I was confused until they and the terrain exploded and collapsed, the chaos echoing from the screen. Another practical.

"The next test will be the last one. We will have you all perform rescue exercises as bystanders at this disaster site. We will assume that those of you who have passed the first test have received your provisional licences and test how well you can carry out suitable rescue procedures." Mera continued.

It looked like Kamino.
I shook my head—I could use my internship experience for this.

"They are people who have undergone training to be professional people-in-need-of-rescue and they are in high demand right now. The 'Help Us Company,' or 'H.U.C' for short!" Mera explained.
