Blackout

Chapter 2

The room was silent, so silent that you could hear a needle fall onto a pillow. The pros had been gathered for a meeting, a briefing of sorts. The members present were either all faculty of UA, or they would soon be.

The principal had called this meeting so that they could discuss the coming semester and enrolling students, which classes they would be placed in, what teachers they would have, and if they had any potential... at least that was the excuse he used to call the meeting.

The pros took their seats, all waiting for the meeting to start. The entrance exam for the hero course had taken place the day prior, and they all had something that they wanted to say about it.

"Alright, let this meeting begin... " Nezu said, and the sitting pros were all waiting to have their words said.

"Today we'll be going over the students that'll enroll her at UA, but that is just second on the list of agendas." Nezu then said, his voice being as straight as ever. Eraserhead knew what he was talking about, for they had discussed this matter beforehand, but the other faculty members were all confused.

"Sir, what is number one then?" Present mic asked, clearly being confused by this turn of events. Nezu didn't answer, instead he and Eraserhead passed a yellow file to every person present.

"It's about this individual." Nezu then said, as everyone opened the file.They were confused, for they couldn't understand what his purpose was even after seeing a photo of the individual.

Toshinori was there, and he couldn't believe his eyes. The individual that Nezu wanted to talk about was none other than the same green haired boy that had stopped the sludge villain and saved the blonde haired hostage. Toshinori had tried to find this boy, but he had failed to even locate him.

Toshinori read the name of the boy, Izuku Midoriya, and thought that it sounded familiar. He didn't get to ponder about the name though, for that is when Nezu spoke up.

"You all may be wondering why I am choosing to prioritise talking about this kid over everything else, but I'll tell you right now... Short answer, he'll be going to our hero course." He said with the same voice as usual. The others were still wondering what he was talking about, since they didn't think that this was anything special. Then Nezu spoke again.

"Long answer, he hasn't taken any of the tests... But he'll still be placed in the hero course. We have also determined that if he had taken the entrance exam he would've scored in the top five." Now everyone was questioning the actions of the principal. How could anyone get into their high class hero course, and not take any form of exam. They were about to object to this, but Eraserhead beat them to it.

"If you're questioning our actions, please take a look at the second page of the report." He said, his voice being as tired as always.

The other teachers were confused at first, but they did what the sleep deprived man told them. After turning the page an expression of shock crept up their faces, all except for Toshinori.

"So you're judging his practical potential through the sludge villain incident." The skeletal man said, with a critical look on his face. Nezu's expression didn't change, as he responded.

"Yes."

"I see... What about his academic results?" Toshinori then asked, and everyone perked because they wanted the answer. Nezu's expression didn't change, as he simply answered.

"Turn the page."

Everyone was confused once again, but they did as the principal said. What they saw shocked them beyond anything, especially Powerloader.
