Successors (My Hero Academia Fanfic)

Ch 23: License Exam

Nobody POV

Aizawa was in the front of the class as he announced today's main lesson. All of Class 1A were seated as he spoke.

Aizawa: As I mentioned yesterday, our primary goal is to get your provisional licenses. Hero licenses are inextricably tied to saving lives, so one must be properly qualified for a heavy responsibility. Naturally, the test is incredibly difficult. Even for provisional licenses, the average is a fifty percent success rate of passing.

Mineta: (trembling) It's that hard to get a provisional license?

Aizawa: That's why, starting today, each of you will come up with Ultimate Moves.

The three heroes, Cementoss, Ectoplasm, and Midnight, walked through the classroom door as the students cheered for this epic lesson.

Ectoplasm: Ultimate mores are your finishers. Your most unique technique in battle.

Cementoss: Internalize these moves. Make them your own until they become unparalleled. Combat is all about finding and making use of your particular strengths.

Midnight: Your moves symbolize who you are. Nowadays, pro heroes with ultimate moves are a dying breed.

Aizawa: Let's move forward. Change into your costumes. And meet us at gym gamma.

Izuku POV

We went to gym gamma to work on our ultimate moves. While everyone was hard at work on perfecting their moves, I was stuck as I could only use a small percentage off One for All. My arms were already too damaged. I'm worried about my arms and didn't know what to do. All might arrive at the gym to give us advice and said I was still trying to copy him. I didn't understand what he meant at that moment. I took the time after the training to head over to the development studio to ask for arm braces for my costume. While I was there, I ran into Mei Hatsume as she blasted through the door and landed on top of me. She was then yelled at by Mr. Power Loader as Me, Iida, Uraraka requested our costume up grades. Hatsume forced her inventions on us as we were torture as a result. She then told Iida, "If he's worried about his legs, why not run with your hands instead." It took some time, but I finally understood what all might say to him. I immediately went into training; I started training my legs to fight. I put my new fighting style in action by saving All Might by smashing falling debris from Kacchan's training. If I'm worried about my arms, I use my legs! One for All: Full Cowling, SHOOT STYLE!

Izuku: All Might you, okay?

All Might: Yeah! I am.

Kaminari: Whoa, Midoriya! Where did that crazy kick come from?

Kirishima: Yeah, I thought you were a puncher?

Izuku: It's these iron soles Hatsume made. They give me more offensive power. I decided to learn more about Iida's fighting style to change my own. It's nothing I can call an ultimate move yet.

All Might: I wouldn't say that. Based on that, kick your further along than you realize. You're pretty much ready for this test.

Aizawa: All Might, that was too close. You'd better stand back for now on.

All might then turn to Bakugo and apologize for the scare. Bakugo yelled and told All might to watch himself. All Might contemplated his words as they dug into his pride. He looked down as the reality hit that he is Quirk-less now, and his doubt of self-worth is beginning to grow.

Midoriya: Anyway, you guys got some upgrades, too?

Kaminari: Yeah! You noticed? Can you tell?!

Kirishima: The others aren't slacking either. Plenty of them got improvements on their gear and their moves as well.
