Flames of Hope (Ye Olde Version)

Chapter 33

Hello! I hope y'all enjoy this chapter and the song above! I have a sneaking suspicion that the next chapters I write will be sad ones... 

Time flew by and before Class 1-A could realise it, the Provisional Licence Exams. Excited and nervous the class waiting by the bus for Mr. Aizawa; Shinsou was with the class too as he had finally joined the class after completing his catch-up training with Aizawa's mentorship and showed by the wore capture gear wrapped around his neck.

Chopping wildly, Tenya ordered robotically –

"Everyone! We must wait here for Mr. Aizawa's arrival before we can enter the bus!"

Then came Mr. Aizawa, looking as dead as all ways, his lips parted –

"Right. Today you will all be participating in the Provisional License Exams. Usually only Second Years do the Exam, however with recent events, Nezu saw fit to let you all attempt to get your license. Some may fail, some may pass. All I ask is that you go Plus Ultra."

When he finished, he flopped forward, and crawled into the bus, the class following behind talking quietly; the bus driver looked at them as if they were insane, and to be honest they're not far off the mark. Screeching, the brakes lifted, and the bus drove off, the rowdy teenagers getting more and more excited for what is about to come. Izuku watched with a fond smile, his family was excited for today, he nodded encouragingly at Shinsou, who nodded back, and walked over to sit by Shouto's side, holding his hand for support for both parties.

A voice comes from the front;

"Guys!" The class look at Izuku, "I know that you might be nervous, but think, we have trained hard for this; we've gone through hell and back, we can do this, we will do this! PLUS ULTRA!" Confident, Izuku finishes, and the other raise their fists, crying our –

"PLUS!!"

"ULTRA!" An unknown voice ends the chant, making the class jump in fright.

Marching up to them was a bulky man clad in a sailor's outfit with his right fist covered in a gauntlet. Izuku sees Shouta's eyes narrow and Shouto's eyes widen, and Izuku thinks;

'Both of them know this guy...'

The sailor walks over and says enthusiastically –

"I've always wanted to join in on that chant!" He looks over the class, "It's nice to see U.A students!"

Behind him, a girl comes out, and tells him;
