I smush my head against the pillow, trying to suppress the joyous squeals that almost break out. Someone knocks on my bedroom door, and I look at the door, as it opens. Mika looks at me, concerned by my puffy red eyes, but quickly his worry turns into laughter as I tackle him in a big hug.
He probably hears me mumbling about how he shouldn't have done that and that I don't deserve something so good. He separates from the hug, and looks at me dead-seriously.

"Don't say that you don't deserve this. Because I have seen you working and training so much, that you can barely go up the stairs. You have been taking so much responsibility and you have made so much progress, so I had to address it somehow. I went to UA to talk with the principal about maybe letting you do a different test, but then you got a recommendation, and it saved us the trouble. You are a brave, powerful, passionate and big-hearted young woman, and I am proud of you"
He says, his eyes slinted as he smiles at me, small tears forming at the corners of his eyes. My lips pull up into a genuine, joyful smile, as he gives me a small kiss on the forehead.

We hug there for a long time, when we hear an awkward cough from the stairs.
Hagikune is standing there, leaning on the wall. Her face looks stern, but then she confuses me by giving me a big hug right after I stand up. I hear Mika chuckling.

"Hagi, when have you gotten so soft?" He says, poking fun at her soft moment.

"I swear, this kid makes me barf with all the cutesy soft stuff someday..." She mumbles, and pulls away from the hug.

I give her a smile. I then tell them that I will make the dinner this time because of the fact that Mika completely and thoroughly flabbergasted me.

After the dinner, and a while of talking, Hagikune leaves, and me and Mika go to sleep.

----------------------------------

I wake up, feeling really refreshed, which does not happen often. I stretch, slowly getting up from my bed. I put on some sweatpants, a red T-shirt that read "Done with you", and a light purple hoodie. I go downstairs, making myself a sandwich to serve as breakfast. Then, I proceed to go through different options for entertainment for the small breakday from training.

Then, my mind goes back to the city we passed when we came to our new home.
'It would be refreshing to see the locals, and some of the other stuff around here' I think, getting my handy small backpack to put my wallet, phone and the spare keycard for the gate into. Then I put my black and white sneakers on, opening the door outside. I start walking away from the house, as I inhale the fresh morning air. When I walk towards the gate, it swings open, letting me outside, where I start my walk towards the city, more commonly known as Musutafu.

-------------------------

I walk the busy streets, full of people hurrying to get wherever they're going to. My gaze bounces around the place, as I try to imagine myself walking these streets to UA. The thought feels strange, so I quickly abandon it.

As I'm in my dazed state, I walk into something. I groan, looking up to meet a boy, that was laying on the ground, his back against it. He opens his eyes, and looks at me, immediately jumping up and starting to apologise. I chuckle, telling the boy that it's all right. He blushes slightly, as he scratches his neck.

"Sorry, I'm not used to this yet, so I was lost in my thoughts" I say, reaching my hand out to the boy. He looks at it, but eventually shakes it.

"M-m-my name i-is Midoriya..!" He says, stuttering profoundly.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you! My name is (Y/n)!" I say.

"I TALKED TO A PERSON...!" I whisper-shout, and Midoriya looks at me weirdly. I smile, starting to walk forwards. The boy- I mean Midoriya, walks next to me, talking to me a little bit, well more like he tried to; I am definetely leading the conversation, because Midoriya seems to be the shyer type, but can't blame him there.

We get to know eachother a little bit more as he shows me around the city, while slowly starting to tell me about his fanboy nature and his idol, All Might. I can hear the idolization in his voice, as he starts telling me about the diary-like books he keeps about everyone he thinks as awesome. I smile softly at his childish behavior.

We walk towards a bridge, me joining in about the latest big Villain that All Might fought.

"I want to become just like him!" He exclaims and starts laughing like All Might.
I chuckle, walking behind him. Then, I hear some kind of slimy noise behind me, and I turn around.

And what I see makes me halt my movement.
There is a giant wall of slime just behind me, and it seems to be moving...?

"A medium sized invisibility cloak...?" The slimey thing spoke, and grabbed onto my legs.

I turn to Midoriya, who looks at me terrified. I start to panic, my mind telling me to trash around as much as I can, to get free. Everything else that I could do just immediately disappeared, leaving me there to be choked by the slime.

I hear Midoriya yelling something, as he throws his entire weight onto the slimy tentacles that try to get me in their grasp, making the villain loosen it's grip on me. I growl lowly, fighting my way through the thick slime. The cornes of my eyesight are turning black, as the slime keeps it's hold on my mouth tight. I look to my right, seeing the slime villain trying to suffocate Midoriya. He looks at me, as my fighting slowly gets sloppier, and my eyesight is being filled with black dots.
He starts crying, and I just feel the need to tell him it's going to be fine, but the inability to breath without letting the slime get in your mouth stops me. I feel my eyelids get heavy, as my arms slowly start to stop the constant flailing.

Then, I hear the sewer lid opening and dropping to the floor. I slowly turn my head, to see a buff figure standing there with his hands on his hips.

'All Might...!" I think, my happiness broken by the slime covering my head completely. Then, I hear a yell faintly through the slime, as the slime around me flies back. As I'm freed from it, I take deep breaths, trying to lessen the horrible ache in my lungs and head because of the urgent need for oxygen.

I raise my head, looking towards All Might, who sees Midoriya's notebook on the ground, and then walks over to it. He opens it, and signs the page with a marker that I swear he didn't have before...?

But then he checks over his shoulder if I am conscious, and as he sees me looking at him, he gives me a thumbs up.
He then goes over to Midoriya, who is knocked out on the ground, and starts slapping his cheek, while exclaiming "Wake up!" over and over again. I see Midoriya's eyes opening, and All Might stands up.

"Sorry for getting you two caught up in my villain fighting! Ususally I don't make mistakes like this, but the sewer system is really complicated to navigate!!" He explains.
"But you two helped me out so thanks!" He continues, and I see Midoriya looking at the man like he's the first drop of water he's seen in weeks in the desert. I chuckle, as Midoriya starts yelling for him to wait and autograph his notebook, but as he takes it, he finds that All Might already signed it.

He becomes a stuttering, mumbling mess, thanking him probably a thousand times as All Might puts the bottles that the villain is trapped in into his pockets, saying how he has to bring it to the police now.

He bends down, and readies to fly away.
"See you on the other side of the screen! And I'm counting on your continued support!!" He says as he jumps into the air. Just as I'm about to stand up, I see Midoriya jumping, and grabbing All Might's leg. I sigh, looking as All Might first tries to pry off the fanboy, but then realises that he would die if he was to let go.
Then, I notice something dripping from... the corner of All Might's mouth...? Is it blood?
Before I even know it, they are out of my sight. I slowly get up, my legs feeling a slight bit weak. I start the long walk towards my home, that would be even more exhausting than before.
