Chapter 5-New faces, Old Faces and Entrance Exam Day
More months have passed since the girls decision to enrol in to UA. Midnight and Nezu couldn't be happier at this step for them. The girls did relay to them that they already had battle experience from their own world. They did not go in to depth about it but they honestly said that it was quite dangerous. The girls have been training for the exams, for both their written and practical portion. Though Nemuri did give them advice that the practical part was worth more concentration, but it didn't mean that they should not focus on their studies; quickly shutting down Buttercup's plans to breeze through it.
Nemuri did give them the option of recommending them in, instead of going through the hassle of the whole exam process. She basically told them that any well-known hero could recommended a student that they deem highly exceptional to enter in to the school without going through the general exams. Although they will have their own exam, it would still guarantee them a spot at UA, no matter what; so long as they prove their medal.
The girls did give it some thought but in the end, they wanted to go through the regular exam. They wanted to prove themselves and show what they can do, whether in the class room or the battle field; they were going to show some serious girl power. That was the response that Nemuri was counting on. She knew the girls were skilled enough to enter in to UA all on their own and she knew they knew. With a satisfied smile, she planned out the girl's workout; basically the first week would be the girls showing her what they got, through close combat, quirk (power) use and creativity in all those fields. She was pleasantly surprised by their individual skill and powers. She did notice some drawbacks in certain areas of their performances.
From there, she assigned each girl a regime that focuses on the areas they can go further and areas they are lacking in. Certain areas such as control, fighting skills, concentration and tactics.
Dagoba Municipal Beach Park
When the training started, the girls were each given areas where they will need to work on, either individually or as a whole. Some would need to work on their focus when using their powers while others would need to keep on improving their physical abilities; reminding them that you can't always lean on your powers.
While the other girls were busy doing some sparring matches with Midnight at home, Buttercup seized the opportunity to do some runs in the morning; often as far as the Beach. She would often run in her yellow and green ombre sports bra and shorts.
She has been running for the past 3 months since training. Honestly, she would rather focus on that than studying but she knew if she wanted to get in to that school, she would have to buckle down and put in the effort.
In the past, she realized the unkempt area was just the place to practice her more wide range abilities. She would stop by the beach and practice some basic workouts that required some heavier sets. Seeing that the beach was filled with trash and other forms of garbage, she saw it as an opportunity to not only help with building up her resistance in strength training but her other power; without getting in to trouble due to little no one being around.
As she stood across from her make shift target dummy, she took a deep breath as was taught to her, raising her hands out, green energy encircling them; she aimed and fired.
*BOOM*
The green plasma beam fired destroyed the dummy that was mere moments there. Continuing in her attacks, she ended up destroying all 15 training dummies with ease. Feeling satisfied with the outcome, she went on to working it in to a more combat format. Taking her fighting stance, "Right" was all she said, till she engulfed her hands and performed martial art attacks to the garbage surrounding her.
She stopped to catch her breath, "Yeah that was awesome!" She exclaimed, while picking up the water bottle she brought with her.
She was about to go back to training until, "Ouch!" was heard from a different area of the beach. She found it strange that people were around but she was hoping she wouldn't get in trouble for breaking the law. Anyway, she went to inspect if anyone was in trouble
She navigated her way around the landfill and got a glimpse of the situation. A guy with messy green locks of hair was being pinned down by a large piece of scrap metal and from the looks of it, he was not looking so good.
"Uggghh, g-get this thing off me!" he cried out while using every strength of his growing muscles to push it off. He went and gave one more push, to find that it was seamlessly floating above his body. 'Wait a minute how is this possible, am I getting stronger than I thought but I have only been training for 4 months and I am yet to receive One for Al-' "Hey are you alright dude?" he brought back from his thoughts by a voice.
Looking up he got a glimpse of his saviour.
"Uh y-yeah, um, thank y-you for helping me." Stuttering, he gave a quick bow. But then he realized who the girl was and went on a babble fit.
"OH MY STARS! You're the person who saved me and my friend from that slime villain 4 months ago. I-I d-didn't get a chance to properly thank you for saving our lives. I wanted to thank you earlier but things were already crazy and the heroes were mad at me for pulling that stunt. Oh I wanted to ask about your quirk. Seeing that you were strong enough to knock that monster off you. Was it a strength enhancing quirk? But it doesn't the green glow on your hands or it could be a way to activate it-" He was immediately cut off when Buttercup placed a hand over his mouth.
She was filling annoyed at this point "Honestly dude, firstly you need to take a breath and slow down." She sighed before continuing,"Secondly, it was no problem man on both fronts; I was busy training and heard you might need help. But what the heck were you thinking with that and without a trainer?" She asked, gesturing to his make-shift work out area.
Looking embarrassed he said "S-sorry, it's a habit", looking to her gestured direction. "I am busy training, so I may get in to UA and my c-coach is coming soon ." He said with determination.
Buttercup mulled over what he said, 'so he's also going to apply to. But by the looks of it, he looks to be gaining some muscle' she thought to herself
"Well that's cool, so am I" saying that casually.
"Oh that's amazing. With your quirk, I am sure you will get in" he said enthusiastically.
She gave a nod "Anyway, do you got a name pal?" She asked out of courtesy.
"Oh right, sorry, my name is Izuku Midoriya, please to meet you again." Once more with a bow.
"Well my name is Buttercup Kayama." He was thinking he heard that last name from somewhere but didn't think much about it.
"Oh that's an unusual first name. B-but its nice is what I mean. You're not from around here I may say?" He awkwardly asked.
Buttercup didn't know how to respond but diverted, "Yeah just new and whatever. Anyway, I was busy doing combat training as well. You down for a spar?"
"Ah um, you see, I am just building up muscles, me being on a strict workout regime. Not really focusing on any fighting styles yet." He said feeling quite embarrassed.
"Well that's just stupid." She said it with deadpan expression.
"WHHHAA!" Flabbergasted and hurt by her response.
"Look, I get you're trying to get some muscles before the big day, but not knowing how to fight is pretty stupid if you're aiming to be a hero. I don't know anything about your quirk, but what I do know is that if you don't have a powerful ability or moves to back you up then you're as good as not entering" crossing her arms at that.
Izuku was stunned, he understood that he was building muscles so as to obtain One for All, if not then he would be unfit to be its vessel but could she be right about the combat practice.
"Yeah maybe I am stupid to think that. But I am going to get in to UA, I owe that to myself" he said with conviction
Buttercup just stared at him till, "Pffft, hahahahaha"
Izuku looked stunned once again, "Why-why are you laughing at me?" He asked with a surprised expression.
Putting herself together, she said, "Nothing dude. It's just that you're kind of funny, no offense. Anyway, don't ever give up on your dreams pal." Giving an encouraging smile.
Izuku feeling mentally exhausted, "Y-yeah thanks."
Buttercup was just about to leave when she had an idea; whether it was a good one or not, is left up to whoever is up there.
"Look, I usually run here at around 5 in the morning and leave at 8. So if you are here earlier or something, I can teach you some moves and help you get stronger. Basically I get some sparring done and you get a feel for some combat" she offered with a shrug.
Izuku's could have gotten whiplash from how fast his turned at the offer. "R-really, you want to help me?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, yeah, just thought it would be better to not have to worry about your sorry butt and save you from those death traps. Look, do want some help or not?" She asked impatiently.
"Yes, yes, yes, I would greatly appreciate your help Kayama" bowing down furiously.
"It's just Buttercup. Anyway, I think I will leave early now. See you tomorrow Izuku." With that, she left.
"Yeah, bye!" Waving her bye. Not too long did Mr Yagi walked back to Izuku as he waved her off.
"Young Midoriya, why are you not training? Do get back to it." He said seriously.
"Oh yes sensei. I w-was just getting a breather sir. I will get back to it." Rushing off to do his training.
Looking in that direction of the passer by, 'I think I know that person. Anyway, might not be important' he thought to himself. He went back to coaching.
-Midnight's Home-
"Right girls that was a good set for the morning, let's rest of and we can start on breakdfast"
"Great!" Bubbles exclaimed, getting out of her yoga pose. "I am so in the mood for some pancakes. What about you Bloss?" She asked.
Blossom was busy doing her meditations. Focusing on the 10 weights she telekinetically lifted in the air. After a couple of minutes, she was done with her exercise and slowly let down the weights.
"Yeah Bubs, I'm hungry as well." Getting up her knees, towards the stairs.
When they reached the inside, they were helping Midnight with prepping.
"We better make extra for Buttercup; you know how she gets after a workout." Blossom said.
"Like seriously, her metabolism has always been higher than all of us 4 combined." Bubbles added with some giggles.
"Girls, be nice. It's perfectly reasonable to be hungry after a workout. The way you 3 have been working hard, I have no doubts you will get in to UA." Midnight cheerily said while prepping.
"Speaking of which, I hope she won't be coming later again. Last time she came back around 11 am.." Bubbles complained.
"I know girls, do keep in mind that she only runs about 3 times a week, and so you girls." Interjected Midnight.
"Yes, but she takes longer with her runs." Blossom added.
"Okay, fair point." And just then, the door opened and in comes Buttercup.
"Hey guys!" She announced as she walked in.
"Whoa Buttercup, your home early this time." Said Bubbles.
"Yeah, usually you get back around 9, 11 the latest." Blossom quipped.
"Hahaha, yeah yeah. Well I saw fit to come back. I met another person training for the UA Exams, and let's just say I suddenly became a part time trainer to him." Making her way over to them.
"Are you sure about this dear? You already got a lot of work here too." Midnight said with concern.
"It's fine. Besides, he seemed to need all the help he can get. Besides the coach he got struck me as an idiot to not also focus on his combat performance, so yeah." She concluded.
"Well it is really nice of you to help." A grin on Midnight's face.
The other 2 girls eyed each other and giggled. Buttercup noticed and with a raised eye brow asked, "What's so funny you two?"
They stopped giggling for Blossom to say, "Oh nothing, nothing. Just wondering who this mystery boy could be to get your help and attention." She said with a sly smirk.
"Don't you even start red! I am just helping because I find it ridiculous and don't want to see him get annihilated. He looked so pitiful when I gave him a reality check."
"Yeah. One of Buttercup's famous gym pep talk, don't know why he looked down." Blossom sarcastically said.
Buttercup didn't even respond to that, giving an eye roll.
"I hope we get to meet him soon." Bubbles excitedly said.
"Now, now girls, there will be plenty of time to discuss about Buttercup's soon to be boyfriend" before said person responded, "Right now let's get breakfast on the way and we can start our day, shall we?" Everyone agreed and Buttercup groaned a yes. But loudly proclaimed, "HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" To the giggling audience.
And days go by with their everyday lives. The girls keep practicing, studying to be prepared for the exam in a few months' time. Buttercup continues runs within the weeks that follow. She makes sure to train with Izuku for at least an hour, right before he has to undergo his own training regime. She teaches him some basic self-defence moves and added advanced martial art moves, being that he is getting in shape from the previous workouts, Buttercup didn't have to start slow. Most times, their sparring matched would be Izuku getting a few bruises around his abdomen and chest.
She would apologize for getting rough with him but he would brush it off as training mishaps. Their training was not an everyday thing, being that they had conflicting schedules but Buttercup was happy that aside from the green beans muscle growth, he could do some basic blocks and at least deliver a few strikes. She was no martial arts teacher and though she was taught, she has never really been the tutoring type.
The day of the exam has arrived and the girls couldn't be more excited as well as a bit nervous. True that they have dealt with tougher situations than this but exams have always had that hold on people's nerves. Midnight took the girls with her, escorting them to the location of the exams. When they arrived, Midnight wished them all the best as she made her way to her post. So the girls went
-After the Written Exam-
"Ow…my poor brain." Bubbles grumbled as she left the exam room.
"And I thought fighting monsters was brutal. Those egg heads have no mercy." Buttercup complained as she went on rub her temples.
"Oh girls, it wasn't so bad." Blossom cheerfully said. Getting death glares from her two sisters. "Right. I will keep that to myself." Blossom sheepishly said.
UA was not only the top Hero School in Japan, but it boasted some of the best Academics Scores in the nation as well. The Written Test had clearly demonstrated that with the amount of subjects it covered as well as the depth they went into each of them. Still even with their sore brains, they girls still believe they scraped enough for a pass; some more than other.
The girls were heading to the lecture hall to be informed of the guidelines of the practical portion when they one of them recognized a familiar face.
"Yo Izuku." Buttercup yelled to him.
Looking to see who had called his name, he finally saw an old face too, plus new ones, "Hey Ka-Buttercup, it's nice to see you here. Are these your friends?" He asked curiously.
"No green bean. These are my sister's. My oldest by a few seconds, Blossom and the youngest, Bubbles." The two girls gave a friendly wave that was well received by Izuku.
"Well, let us get in to the lecture hall before we are late." Blossom said impatiently, not wanting to miss the important info.
"Relax red, we will make it just in time." The two walk off in a fast pace, leaving Izuku to a scheming Bubbles.
A smile plastered on her face, "So, Izuku was it?" Izuku was startled, forgetting about the other sister for a moment "What do you think about my older sister Buttercup, seeing that you guys are friends at least?" She asked nonchalantly with baited breath.
To say he was caught off guard is an understatement, especially when she clearly said that she thought he was friends with her sister. "Well…I couldn't really say-" He was interrupted before he could answer, to the disappointment of Bubbles.
"Bubbles! What are you saying to him?!" Buttercup yelled from across the path at her sister.
"Nothing!" She quickly said, turning back to Izuku. "We will finish our talk next time." Smiling at the boy as she skipped away, leaving him confused and a little bit scared.
Making it in time for the breakdown of said practical portion of the exam, they quickly found their seats. With Bubbles and Blossom a row up and Buttercup seating next to Izuku, by his left.
As the loud man, known as Present Mic begun talking, Buttercup couldn't help but called Izuku a nerd at the back of her head when hearing him talk about the guy. They were all told to flip over their cards and find their site placements. Buttercup found out that she would be place in Battle Centre B, with Izuku; as well as finding out that all her other sister's would be in different Centres, so as to not seek help from friends. Wasn't really a bother to them as at the end of the day, they would all receive individual marks.
It was said that during the practical exam, candidates conduct mock battles in replica urban settings. Examinees are given ten minutes to use their Quirks to immobilize robotic villains in order to score points depending on the individual robot's point value. The more points one examinee earns, the higher their chance is to get accepted into U.A. High. Candidates are not allowed to fight other candidates. Doing so results in disqualification. Students hailing from the same middle school are placed in different testing areas to avoid potential cooperation. Other than scoring villain points, judges monitoring the exam reward rescue points for heroic acts. This criterion is not shared with the students, so they are motivated towards genuine selflessness.
Just then a tall spectacled boy raised up his hand to ask a question, prompting some to groan in impatience. "HIT ME!" Present Mic said.
"On the print out, you've listed four types of villains, not 3. With all respect, if this is an error on official UA materials, it is shameful. We are exemplary students, we expect…" Droning on, he went.
Buttercup felt as though the guy would give Blossom a run for most stuck in the mud student at this point.
"Additionally, you with the unkempt hair!" Her focus was drawn back to a new confrontation.
"You've been muttering this entire time, stop that. If you can't bother to take this seriously, leave, your distracting the rest of us." Chastising him harshly, he finished with annoyed glare that made Izuku feel quite small.
Without thinking she stood up, "Excuse me, Mr Stick up your ass. Back off from including the term us in to your rant and lay off the boy alone. I don't see anyone else complaining, do you?" Buttercup claps back, causing other students to giggle in response.
This leaves Iida a bit bewildered but before he could reply, Present Mic first ask everyone to settle down. He addresses Iida, "Wow you must have sensory enhancing quirk because I couldn't hear anything from that young man your singling out and since I am not complaining about any noise, maybe you should too, hmm?", this leaves Iida embarrassed and stuttering but Present Mic is not done. "Now to your answer on..., so may we continue?" Iida feeling awkward, just thanks him and sits down defeated. This brings a small smirk to Buttercup and Izuku just mouths a thank you, which she mouths, no problem. Bubbles is seen giggling at that that, with Blossom showing a small smile; Bakugou just tsks over that.
Afterwards, they separate their different centres. Buttercup and Izuku find out where they are to go, as they have the same markers. Buttercup overhears Bakugou threatening Izuku if they were in the same area, then knocking him over. She wonders "What's the guys deal?" and walks over to him to see if he's okay but stops in her tracks to see a brunette checking on him instead.
-Test Site B-
Okay, as Buttercup and the rest of the other applicants were waiting outside. She mentally prepares herself. 'Okay, le's whoop some-'
"START!" Present Mic called out loudly from where he stood on a platform at the top of a tower, his voice reaching out across the large testing grounds and to all the various groups of applicants. Everybody in Izuku's testing group froze up for a moment at the sudden start. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! THERE ARE NO COUNTDOWNS IN REAL LIFE! RUN! GO, GO, GO!"
As Buttercup entered the area, she wasted no time in finding a robot to bash.
"Target acquired…eliminate!" The machine intoned and Buttercup couldn't help but grin as it moved towards her. Seeing a 1 pointer robot, quick as a bunny, she gave a powered up punch, smashing it to pieces. A bang went off and the One Pointer now had a hole in its head. The machine collapsed to the ground and Buttercup lowered her hand.
Looking around she saw more robots. With a glint in her eyes, "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" She released a green energy and flew in to action. Levelling 3 pointer robots in her path.
"Target Acquired." Rang out over a dozen times as all the bots noticed her and took aim.
Not giving them a chance, she released waves of her energy at the metal heads.
"Holy shit! What was that?!" Another examinee yelled having apparently arrived just in time to witness Buttercup's attack. She paid the guy little attention before he jumped back towards the rooftops to continue hunting.
-In the Teacher's Viewing Booth-
"That's my girl!" Midnight exclaimed as she was proud to see the girls taking this so seriously
"The said girl seems to have a strength enhancing quirk, as well a plasma emission quirk. Quite the power house she is packing." Ectoplasm stated as he watched the Buttercup.
"She seems to be enjoying herself?" Vlad King questioned as he looked on.
'Now I remember this young lady' Toshinori thought to himself from the back of the room watching the raven-haired teen fight. 'She is that same girl that protected young Midoriya and co. I'll need to keep an eye on this one.' The Number One Hero thought to himself watching her run across the mock cityscape.
"I think we have a few other promising heroes." Snipe called out, motioning the other teachers to look at the other monitor. Everyone besides Midnight, were having their mouth agape.
-Test Site C-
Bubbles jumps from one spot to another, dodging the laser attacks from the robots. She stops at a point and releases a sonic scream that decimates all the 3 pointer robots that surrounded her. She was about to run off, when her eye caught on to a bird being chased by a 1 pointer robot. She didn't need to be a mind reader to make out from the frantic tweets that it was in distress. It didn't take long for her to bounce off in to the direction. Coming down, she gave a concussive force punch. Turning to the bird with a soft smile, "Tweet tweet (are you okay little one?)" Getting a soft tweet in response.
Just then, a tall, broad looking guy, with a muscular build and peach-colored skin. His head took the form of a rock, which was unevenly shaped and pointed at the top of his head, and his jaw was square-shaped. What really stuck out to Bubbles was the fact that multiple birds were either perched on his shoulders or flocking around him.
He walked up to the blonde girl, obviously shy. "Um, hello. T-thank you for saving my friend." Gesturing to the bird in her hands.
She was just staring, which was obviously rude of her, but she couldn't stop staring at the guy in front of her. She found it adorable that the birds trusted him enough to be by his side. Unfortunately, the awkward stares caused the young man to feel self-conscious and stammer something incoherent. Bubbles, finding her manners, blushed a faint shade of pink, before handing over the winged creature and flashing an embarrassed smile.
She was about to apologize, when she saw another 3 pointer robot at a distance from where they were standing; readying to fire. Taking a serious face, that made the shy boy flinch, she jumped over him and gave another sonic scream that shattered the robot. Satisfied with the work, turning to finish her conversation, the boy was gone. 'Where did he go?' She shrugged at that before leaving to acquire more points.
"Wow! That little girl may look sweet but she has a mighty strong voice!" Present Mic commented as the teachers looked at the teen.
-Test Site A-
Normally A's would be Blossom's ideal letter, but at the moment she was finding it completely difficult, like seriously, the fake road was littered with damaged pointer robots. Finding one that was remotely alive was seemingly futile, she manage to tackle at least two 1 pointer robots but anything else was up in the air. She was grouped up with glorified Buttercup's that left nothing in their trail. "Ugh, so annoying." She spoke aloud.
'There has to be something I can do, or else I will not even make it in to the Gen Ed class.' Giving some serious thought, she knew she needed a bird's eye view of the whole site to even put her plan in to action. She released a stream of cold air and putting her telekinetics in to action, she created a tower of ice that shot up in to the air. The people around were in awe of what was happening, some thought she was showing of , planning to waist time, exhibiting her powers, while others caught a glimpse of her strategy.
Now high up, she could properly scope out the scene. "Where are those...There!" She exclaimed, seeing a dozen or so pointer robots of various points. She wasted no time, digging deep to complete the task. Her ponytailed hair begun to flap as if a breeze had made its way to her, hands covered in a strong pink glow. And as she opened her eyes, her pink irises were shown glowing. She directed a wave outwards, sending forth to her intended target.
In a matter of time, pointer robots for miles were floating in the air, each covered in a light pink glow.
Many people were dumbstruck by this. Some were wondering if it was part of the test or if the time had gone out. Some saw the direction of where the robots were going and followed to see the situation
- Teacher's Viewing Booth-
Many of the teachers were at this point shock at the level of ability the red-haired examinee was showing.
"Does this girl have an advanced form of telekinesis?" Cementos asked in shock, looking at Midnight's direction.
"I shall never tell." Midnight said playfully.
But Nezu could sense that something was off about her. 'Oh dear. You are pushing it too far aren't you?' mentally questioned himself as he stared at the monitors.
As the robots were making its way to Blossom, focusing one last time, she gestured her hands to shatter the robots in the air. While doing this, a certain red-haired, shark-toothed teen was watching in amazement.
When Blossom finally, deeming it enough, destroyed the robots, she was happy. Taking huge breaths, sighing "Well…At least that could've-" Not being able to finish, she was feeling the backlash of what she did.
"Oh sho-" She fell off her podium, hurtling straight down to the ground, where screams of panic were met.
"OH NO!" Midnight screamed from her spot. As did the other teachers.
Before she could make contact, the said teen swooped in, in the nick of time to catch her. They collapsed to the ground, with her still safely in her arms.
Midnight took a deep reassuring sigh of relief. She would need to go to the medical bay room, as to await Blossom, after the exams.
'I see. Well, we will have to deal with that little issue if you are to fully reach your potential won't we?' Nezu smiled to himself.
"Power Loader, it's about time and I'm interested to see the examinees' response to your creations."
"Yes sir." Power Loader grinned as he flipped up a plastic cover over a big red button. "Ready or not kids, here they come!" With that he pushed the button and loud rumbling was heard at all of the Test Sites.
As Blossom was out cold in his arms, a thought had passed through his mind, 'Wow that was so manly.'
-Test Site B-
Buttercup was having too much fun that she almost forgot about how much time she had left before the exam was up. She mentally calculated that she got at least 55 villain points. She was about get back to it, but suddenly the ground started shaking beneath her, 'Does Bubbles have something to do with this' was her initial thought until she saw a huge robot emerging. She thought back to one of the robots that was said to have no points in the lecture room, this might be the one.
Buttercup was mulling over the possibility of just fighting this rust bucket for fun, but something stopped her from such a reckless act. Right under a mound of rubble was a girl trapped beneath it. Before she could sprint over and help, a familiar mess of green hair ran over to help her.
"Izuku!" With that, she flew forth and seeing that no one was around for risk of casualties, she released a beam of energy at the robot, pushing it back a little, in an attempt to slow it down. Settling down, she was just about ready to deck this thing.
"Buttercup, you have to get to safety!" Izuku's voice carried to her, turning back to retort, she was stopped, seeing that determined face he had as was a strange energy was flowing around the boy as if he was going super saiyan. She deduced that he was going to take down the robot himself. But being Buttercup, she didn't want him to have all the fun, and when he sprung in to action; she was not far behind.
Both teens were emitting their own respective glow, one giving off veiny red lines and the other a green glow. They retracted their respective fists and with enough force. They punched the Zero pointer so hard, that its head broke in to a million pieces.
Buttercup saw the pained expression on the boy's face as well as his injured arm. She caught him in her arms, before landing down safely. Looking at the unconscious boy, she couldn't help but have a newfound deeper respect for the green bean. She cast her eyes down to see his bruised, swollen arm. She placed her hand on his arm. A greenish yellow glow shown from the area and just after a couple of minutes, the injury was healed.
"Annnnd STOP!" Present Mic's voice was heard throughout the testing grounds. "The exam is over!"
-Teacher's Viewing Booth-
"THOSE TWO DESTROYED THE ZERO POINTER TO PIECES!" Almost every teacher present questioned loudly while Nezu laughed, not entirely sanely, as he watched the Zero Pointer cease to function.
"My, my, all 3 of these kids are rather impressive aren't they? Especially that young boy." Nezu remarked seeing all of his staff staring wide-eyed at the screen.
"Did she…did she just heal him?" Recovery Girl asked as she looked at the teen.
"It would seem so." Thirteen replied her distorted voice still managing to come off as shocked.
"Nezu, I would like to meet with this girl, she has a gift and I would like to know its extent; to further train her." Recovery Girl informed the principal. This new outcome could favour the school and help those in need.
"Hmm, we can most definitely inquire." Nezu the, odd, chimera-like, principal replied with a smile, his eyes never leaving the screen following Buttercup.
All Might was just silent
'I am so proud of them' Midnight mused to herself
-Afterschool-
Half an hour passed since the exams had ended and the girls as well all the other examinees went for a check up with the school nurse. Buttercup and Bubbles were made to wait an hour before Blossom could even leave, due to her mind shutting down and needing to recharge; a concept that was not too foreign to both girls. The patient was brought in by a red headed boy with sharp teeth, just wishing their sister a speedy recovery and to take it easy.
Buttercup was around long enough to see Izuku awake and with the all clear, he was sent home. But he thanked her for the help; all she said that is was no problem. Though he didn't know that she healed him. Oh well.
Blossom was groaning as she woke up. "What happened? My head!" Feeling agrowing migraine coming in.
"YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THAT HEADACHE IF YOU DIDN'T PUSH YOURSELF TOO FAR!" Both sisters yelled at the patient. Further causing her head to hurt.
-One Week Later ~ Midnight's Home-
The girls were in their individual rooms, doing their own thing when Midnight called to them come down in excitement.
"Girls It's here!" Midnight exclaimed as she called up from downstairs at the girl's rooms with the letters addressed to the them. It was from UA, but sadly for Midnight, she could not be told of the contents directly, due to conflict of interest
One by one, they all stormed down like teen hurricanes. Each one thanked her before taking the letters and heading to the living room. "Girl's you may open it together in the living room or in your respective rooms, it's up to you." The all decided to rip the Band-Aid off and just read it all together; making a beeline to the couch.
As they were reading their papers out loud, they called cheered for each girl passed the written exam.
Blossom- 100%
Buttercup- 63%
Bubbles- 88%
Then they all looked at the disk before it lit up and got a hologram to appear in their living room.
"Hello, Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles Kayama, I'm Nezu the principal of UA High School; but I believe we have already met." Nezu smiled. "I'm happy to inform you that you all passed the Practical Exam Score, as for the scores, please look behind me." The chimera pointed to an electronic board that turned on Showing their pictures and scores.

"As you can see you've all performed very well! And Blossom is the new Record Holder for Highest Score in fact!" Nezu congratulated with a smile on his face. "I'm pleased to welcome you all to UA High School, Kayama's! This will be your Hero Academia!"
"WE DID IT!" A scream so loud erupted that you could swear that they were using sonic scream or Bubbles was.
Thus began the tale of the Powerpuff Girls in the World of My Hero Academia.
-Unknown Location-
Red eyes looked down in to an unfamiliar pool of water. A claw is raised, causing a swirl of red clouds to form a makeshift mirror; used to spy on the suspecting victims. The signal is weak but the being is able to flicker to different channels, showing random people.
Feeling annoyed, he is trying to find the targets of his wrath.
With one more turn, the channel is placed on the objects of his desire. Not getting a pinpoint location, but it will have to do.
"Oh girls, I am glad you are enjoying your time of peace and happiness. But be very aware that I am still not done with my little projects yet, hahahaha" an eerie tone was carried out.
And with that, the signal is lost.
Chapter 6- First Days and First Impressions
Weeks passed since the girls were told of their acceptance in to UA. After their initial burst of joy from the girls, they made no haste in their preparations for the big day. With the help of Midnight, they were able to get their class schedules, get their sizes measured for their uniforms, P.E clothes and other needed materials.
As it was the first day of going to UA and the girls were super excited about the whole thing. But something's never change when it comes to getting ready.
"Girls, get a move on. Or we'll all be late for school!" Midnight called from the downstairs.
"We're coming!" Blossom said, while getting a strange sense of De Ja Vu.
The girls were all sorting one or two things. Whether it be their dressing, styling their hair or even packing their respective bags.
They were not really late but were just advised to come along with Midnight so that in any event of an emergency, they would be able to find their way back.
As they made their way downstairs, each wearing their regulated school uniforms. Consisting of a long-sleeve, button-up white shirt, a grey jacket with blue-green stripes, a red tie, a dark blue-green pleated skirt, and a small, golden button on their ties. Blossom wore grey leggings under her skirt, Buttercup wore tight shorts that were visible under her skirt and Bubbles wore fake knee high tights.
Midnight was so happy that she pulled all 3 girls in to a bone crushing hug; lasting more than it should. If they weren't late before, they sure will be if this hug goes on long enough.
They soon arrived with an hour to spare. They all could not believe that this was happening. Granted, they never dreamed of enrolling in to a school that trains heroes of the future in another world but they had to make the most of their current situation.
"Alright, see you later. I have to run for a meeting before orientation. Have a great day at school." Midnight waved back at them as she disappeared off in to the opposite direction. The girls gave their reciprocated waves goodbye as they started off their journey.
"Alright ladies, let's head out!" Buttercup marched forward with at most surety until-
"Buttercup, do you know where we are going?" Bubbles asked
And so was her older sister's ego deflated before it could rise above.
The girls were wondering around the huge campus, trying to locate their designated homerooms. They were busy bouncing ideas off each other when they spotted a familiar mess of curly hair or as some nicked named him green bean.
"Hey Izuku!" Buttercup spoke up, getting the boy's attention. Flashing a nervous smile, he walked over to the three interesting sisters.
"H-hey girls. G-good morning" he nervously greeted them. Blossom gave a small bow as to show respect while Bubbles enthusiastically waved him a hello.
"Hello Izuku. We seem to be lost and we were wondering if you have any idea as to where Class 1A may be?" Blossom politely asked with a smile.
"Oh! I was just on my way to the class room myself. We can all go together." He politely offered in turn.
"Sounds great." Buttercup replied, as they followed the boy on his way.
"1-A, 1-A, 1-A…there it is." Izuku smiled at finally finding his classroom. UA was a massive school and he'd almost gotten them lost. A helpful upper class man had kindly pointed out the way for them and given them a thumbs up before leaving. They were able to make to class with 10 minutes to spare. Standing before the door, Izuku took a deep breath and exhaled before opening the door and stepping into the room.
As they opened the very doors, there were familiar views that made the green haired boy's stomach drop and the raven haired girl roll her eyes.
"Take your feet off that desk, immediately!" The same blue haired teen demanded as he chopped the air. "It's an insult not only to the people that made it, but also to our seniors who studied here before us!"
"You're kidding me, right?" Bakugou sneered back at the other teen. "Did your old school put a stick up your ass, or were you born with it?"
'Just my luck' Buttercup and Izuku sighed in defeat. Did the universe have it out for them or something?
"It's those four." The blue haired teen spoke as he noticed Izuku and the girls standing in the doorway.
"Tch." Bakugou scowled at Izuku from across the classroom. All of the other students in the classroom, the majority based on the fact that only a few seats were empty, looked towards all of them at the same time.
The girls were a bit uneasy from those stares. Some were of critiquing nature, while others were of nervous smiles. The girls were unsure if they did anything wrong or what.
"Good morning, my name is Iida Tenya, from Somei Private Academy." Iida introduced himself while chopping the air to Izuku.
"I'm Izuku Midoriya; it's nice to meet you." Izuku returned the greeting.
"Hello, my name is Blossom Kayama and these are my sisters, Buttercup and Bubbles Kayama." She introduced herself and sister's, only to be met with some whispers. She did not understand but went forward.
Making his way to address the red haired girl "Pleasure to meet you. I was very impressed by your record breaking achievement at the Entrance Exams, Blossom." Iida stated and Blossom felt her cheeks redden slightly.
"Oh, thank you." Blossom replied nervously.
"Yeah that's the girl who moved all those pointer robots with her mind, so manly." A red haired boy said to a blonde guy with a black, lightning bolt-like streak in his hair. This caused Blossom to feel a bit more proud of herself. Buttercup and Bubbles gave an eye roll at how this might fuel her ego. Tenya, noticing this gave back his attention to the two familiar green students in front of him; giving the other two sisters the opportunity to find their seats.
"I also see that you two destroyed the Zero pointer robots as well even when did not need to. I guess your excessive rambling must have been you two planning your strategy for the practical exams. Honestly I feel a bit foolish to have disturbed you like that." He gave a low bow to the two as he gave his "apology."
Izuku feeling a bit embarrassed was about to say something when Buttercup stepped in, "Well thank you four eyes, it takes a big man to realize that he was wrong and over the top when he calls out a person in a public area just to feel so superior about himself" She said with an uncharacteristically soft voice, that held sarcasm. That crack did not go unnoticed by many people. Iida was shaking a bit as he straightened up, possibly from the disrespect, Izuku was stuttering, finding the words to say sorry; while some snickered at it or gapped.
Bubbles was off, on her way to look for an empty seat when she spotted one at the back, 2nd row close to the door. Not only that but it was situated behind a familiar looking guy with an all too familiar bird. As she stepped closer, she gave a friendly smile.
"Hi, I'm Bubbles and what is your name?" she asked while looking at Kouda
He stared with wide eyes, looking around he felt unsure. Finally gesturing to himself.
Still keeping her smile now with a giggle. "Yeah silly. We met at the exam day and I helped your little friend over there." Lightly stroking the bird over his head, it reciprocated by nuzzling its head in to her fingers. She giggled some more and to the boys amazement, she begun tweeting to the bird, as if she could speak its language; surprise, surprise, she could and the bird fully understood. At the end, Kouda was really flustered but Bubbles being herself, without noticing just sat down behind him, waving off her new little friend.
While Bubbles was being oblivious to the stares from some of her more masculine classmates, her green sister was busy dealing with another form of annoyance and she came in the form of a bubbly brunette. She was just rambling on to Izuku, barely even paying attention to the two other classmates. Although Buttercup could not help sighing at the obvious nervous expression given off by the green bean next to her. She then looked over the two to see a…moving sleeping bag.
"If you're just here to make friends, then you can pack up your stuff now." The man said with deadpan voice. Now that the three paused, they turned their heads slightly to catch sight of the being the voice came from.
"Welcome to UA's hero course." With that, he slightly opened his sleeping bag and drank an unknown flavoured juice pack. This was met with all except Buttercup, with a shock/frightened expression, 'What is that thing?' was the thought of everyone.
Standing up, the man addressed them, "It took 8 seconds before you all shut up, that's not gonna work. Time is precious, rational students would understand that." This left Buttercup to raise her eyebrow at that.
"Hello I'm Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher" He said in a less than enthusiastic voice that made everyone shocked with the news. Riffling through his sleeping bag, "Right let's get to it. Put these on and head outside" he pulled out some clothes.
The girls gave each other a glance, 'What is up with this guy?'
In another part of school, Yagi Toshinori was looking over a book labelled "Teachers Directory", 'UA's course doesn't follow the normal academic path' he sighed 'Get the wrong homeroom teacher and life is hell.' He worriedly thought.
The class was now located outside, adorning their school regulated track suit, much to everyone's confusion, but really set off the bar was-
"What? A Quirk Assessment Test?!" Everyone exclaimed at once at the news.
"But orientation, we're going to miss it." The bubbly brunette spoke up feeling confused at the change in schedule.
Aizawa spoke up, back turned to his class, "If you really want to make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies." That got majority to stiffen at that. "Here at UA we're not tethered to traditions", now facing them. "That means I get to run my class however I see fit." Leaving them even more dumbstruck.
"You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives." He pulled out a device. "But you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before."
While he was busy talking, the girls were sharing their opinions at the worst time. In a whispered tone "And I thought the teachers here were going to be more energetic than this?" Buttercup addressed her youngest sister, "He must be really tired Buttercup" Bubbles responded.
Blossom turned to them. "Guys! Hush, or we will-" She was interrupted by the sombre man.
"Blossom Kayama, I don't know how they do things wherever you and your sisters are from but here in my class, we normal don't interrupt when a teacher is speaking. Understood?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Blossom just nodded.
"Now. You managed to get the highest most points on the entrance exam." Getting her straighten up and focus. "What was your farthest distance throw with a soft ball when you were in Junior High if they did do that?"
Taking a moment to recall, she gave her answer. "52 meters sir."
"Hmm, right, try doing it with your quirk." Handing her the ball.
She then appears in a circle, for where she will throw the ball. "Anything goes just stay in the circle. Go on, you're wasting our time." With a nod, she prepares herself.
'Focus. Let's not overdue it like last time. Let's go.' Opening her eyes, she began.
She activated her telekinesis, emitting a pink glow that transferred on to the ball, raising it a few inches above said hand. People were watching attentively, wondering what she was up to. The ball spun around her, as if she had her own axis before she flung her arms back like a pitcher and sent it flying high in to the sky. Shot like a comet infused in pink aura.
Many were slap jawed by this, while a particular duo, not so much.
"Welp, I think red is showing off. Think it's time to let off the kid gloves?" Buttercup nudged her sister in a teasing fashion.
Knowing full well that it was not happening, she merely rolled her eyes at her while looking back at the scene.
"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." Looking down at the device just when the ball landed; which was a distance tracker, "It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential of a pro hero." He concluded while showing everyone her score. It was 850 meters. Leaving everyone amazed.
"Whoa, 850 meters, are you kidding me?" The blonde with a black highlight in his hair.
"I want to go, that looks like fun!" Exclaimed a pink skinned girl.
"This is what I am talking about. Using our quirks as much as we want!" A kid with weird elbows also piped in.
"Cool? Awesome? Fun? You think my class is a joke?" Mr. Aizawa glares at them harshly. Buttercup can already feel a chill that wasn't from her red haired sister oh shit she muttered. "You have 3 years here to become a hero. You have 8 physical challenges to compete in. And how about this for a laugh. The person who scores last gets expelled."
Everyone is surprised at that. U.A can't do that. Right? The amount of pushback they'd get from outraged parents would be ridiculous if they did. Buttercup could see something wasn't adding up, but went along to gather information. But she had a sneaky suspicion to watch over the green bean, something is telling her that a certain hobo looking teacher has his eyes set on him.
"You can't send one of us home I mean we just got here. Even if it wasn't the first day!" Ochako protested.
"Oh and you think natural disasters are?" He asked sarcastically but it was enough to shake them. "Or power hungry villains or catastrophic accidents that can wipe out whole cities? No, the world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try to combat that unfairness. If you want to be a pro, you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink…"
Now the girls knew that the world was not fair, growing up they realized that situations will come up and test them without warning and they as superheroes had to find a way to fix.
-First Test ~ 50 Meter Dash-
The test begun with Iida and a girl with frog-like features taking their places at the starting line. Both Iida and the girl had Mutant Type Quirks. Their times were impressive, though Iida clocked in at just over three seconds and the girl at about five and a half seconds.
Ochako finished in just over seven seconds and seemed pleased with her result. The sparkling blonde and the pink girl both finished at just over five seconds. Though the pink girl appeared to be skating on some kind of substance coming from her feet.
Blossom picking up at her strategy was creatively turned her side of the track in to an ice rink, where she was able to skate and passed shoji, with a score of 5.50 seconds.
Bubbles took note of the sparkling boy and instead of running, she sent sound waves in to her feet that propelled across the track and tying with Tokoyami with 6.04 seconds
Buttercup was paired with an invisible girl, it ended with Buttercup getting at least 4 seconds while she got 8 seconds.
Finally it was Izuku's turn, and the universe seemed to still be messing with him since he was paired with Bakugou. Bakugou got 4.13 seconds while Izuku got 7.02 seconds, much to his dismay.
-The grip Test-
The top 2 were of course Buttercup with a score of 600 kilograms, Shoji with a score of 540 kilograms
-Flexibility Test-
There were not many people that could compete with Bubbles when it came to being flexible, aside from Mina and the invisible girl. She even showed off some gymnastic tricks until Blossom reminded her it wasn't the time for that.
-Long Jump Test-
The girls tied here with each other, with Buttercup practically "flying", Bubbles jumping over the whole pit and Blossom showing some impressive skating over the whole thing; catching the sight of two certain boys.
In sit-ups and side-to-side jumps, Buttercup won out of them while Blossom took the latter with her chilling breath.
-The Ball throw test-
Being that Blossom already completed her own test, she did not have to repeat it. As the others were doing their best in the test, Bubbles already accomplishing hers with a sonic scream that not only made her classmates cover their ears for the entire time but got her at least 608 meters; which she was perfectly happy with as she skipped back.
Buttercup was known for her competitive streak and took the opportunity to smirk at it. This was not lost on to Blossom who knew where this was heading to but prayed it wasn't enough to cause problems.
Igniting herself with short spark of energy before tit covered he ball with that green energy, she tightened her grip and winding back, she let loose on the ball. It blasted far enough like a rocket before landing down at a great distance. Giving her a grand total score of 900 meters. That left her feeling really happy as she gave a sly smirk to her sisters, which were met with a huff and an eye roll. She did not take the time to see that the other students were shocked at that display. They somewhat knew of these certain vigilantes that were going on the news, but did not expect such power from any of them. (Oh wait, there's more to come). Izuku was simply amazed at her own control over her quirk.
That record was short lived when the bubbly brunette basically made her ball disappear in to the stratosphere, chalking up to infinity. Which left some people's attention to shift to her instead, much to the relief of the elder sister.
Taking her mind of the sheer ridiculousness, she spotted that it was Izuku's turn and she could clearly see that he was feeling nervous. She wanted to know what's the matter but before she could, "Midoriya. Your turn." He had said, it was time for the throw.
At those words, virtually everyone turned to look at Izuku, who walked up to his spot. He looked nervous, the same way he had been looking for all of the tests. But, there was something else apparent on his face that caught everyone, specifically Buttercup, off guard. A look of sharp focus and resolved determination.
Everyone would soon know why that is, as soon as Izuku was given the ball and was ready to throw.
For a second, he stood still. But that quickly ended as he planted his feet firmly on the ground, leaned back, and started to throw the ball. A look of sheer motivation on Izuku's face was visible, as his arm flashed by in a blur.
But what truly surprised everyone was that when his arm moved, green light and energy swarmed his arm and the ball. With that visible indication, it didn't take long for people to connect the dots. Izuku was using his Quirk. His highly destructive, bone-breaking, consequential Quirk. That soon was obvious to Buttercup as well.
But as quickly as the green energy came, it completely disappeared. Izuku stumbled forward, dropping the ball next to him, hardly an inch away from him. Judging from his wide eyes and bewildered expression, he hadn't intended for his power to suddenly evaporate. But, as Aizawa spoke, it was clear that he had.
"That's enough. Before you tear yourself apart."
Everyone looked at Aizawa, who was swiftly walking towards Izuku. He didn't look like his usual tired and bored persona. Instead, his once lifeless hair was now waving around by an unseen wind. His scarf looked like grey snakes as they spiralled around his neck and stretched out. And his eyes, which were once grey, were now bright red.
Everyone backed away a few inches, clearly startled, as they had never seen this side of their teacher before. And, clearly, neither did the girls.
"What the hell?" Buttercup mumbled as she gulped, "How can he DO that?"
As soon as people around them started to mutter and whisper to each other, Buttercup got her answer.
"Is that… Mr. Aizawa's Quirk?"
"No way. MR. AIZAWA IS ERASERHEAD?!"
"For real? No joke?!"
Bubbles frowned. "Who's Eraserhead?"
Blossom's eyes widened as she looked at her teacher, as she remembered all of the research about Eraserhead she had conducted. Her extensive knowledge of Pro Heroes came in handy.
"Eraserhead's a Pro Hero. He may not be a well-known one, but he is a notorious fighter. Especially when it comes to disarming. His Quirk is Erasure, which means that he has the ability to completely cancel out a Quirk, rendering the target useless. It only works on Emitter Quirks, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on us, since we don't really have Quirks, but I don't want to find that out anytime soon."
Buttercup and Bubbles looked at her with shock, which prompted Blossom to smile.
"What? I've done my fair share of research on certain heroes." She explained.
Before anybody could talk anymore, they were immediately drawn back to the scene before them, when Izuku broke his silence.
"Um, Mr. Aizawa? Why… did you block my Quirk?" Izuku squeaked.
Aizawa looked visibly irritated by Izuku's questions.
"That's what you're wondering? Why? I'll tell you why. The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enrol at this school. You're not ready. You don't have control over your power. Were you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?"
"No! That's not what I was trying to do!" Izuku tried to reason
"No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle. You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved 1,000 people by himself and became a legend. But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero."
Students gasp at that statement.
Just hearing Aizawa's words felt like a kick in the stomach. Buttercup not being far clearly heard the whole conversation and barely held herself back from letting loose on the hobo of a teacher. He then continued.
"I've returned your impractical Quirk. Take your final throw. Hurry and get it over with. Take my advice into account."
After he said that, Aizawa finally stepped back, his scarf turning back to normal and his eyes reverting back to their normal colour. As they watched this unfold, the three girls looked concerned.
"Poor guy… it's not his fault that his superpower breaks his bones!" Bubbles protested.
Buttercup sighed. "Seems like everyone piles on him."
"But, you have to admit. Mr. Aizawa has a point," Blossom pointed out, "It is risky to try and use a power that you know will hurt you, just so that your maneuver succeeds. It's also a rash decision to make, sacrificing yourself to get what you want."
Buttercup looked at Blossom with a glare. "Don't we do that sometimes?"
Blossom hesitated, recalling all of the fights that the girls have had so far. She couldn't exactly say no, as it would be a lie. She remembered many examples of the girls using a catastrophic aspect of their powers as a "last resort". But, they did that because it WAS their last resort, not because they were reckless… Right?
Not giving time for her sister to reply, she marched forth to the boy. Many people were wondering what this girl was doing, even Aizawa was slightly irritated at this but wanted to see where this foolishness is going.
Standing before him. "Hey, you good green bean?" she asked nonchalantly, as if she did not hear the verbal tongue lashing a few seconds ago.
Izuku could only nod as he stared at the ball with a gloomy, beaten look.
She proceeded, "Welp, if any of what the tall, pasty and gloomy guy said is true then you and I have a lot of talking to do about strength training and that, but right now, you have to focus and concentrate on this pal. Forget about the others and be the hero that got you in to this school or some shit." She concluded as she left without getting a response from him.
Izuku was shocked to say the least. 'Why? Why is she helping me?' was his thought before focusing back on the ball and gathering an idea.
As everyone looked with shock, Aizawa's monitor beeped, showing the score.
"Your score is 710.3 meters." Aizawa whispered, completely stunned.
At that, cheers erupted from the class, as their shock turned into complete awe. As Izuku raised his throwing arm, it was then revealed what had happened. When throwing the ball, instead of storing power in his arm, Izuku had stored power in his finger, which he used to help propel the ball. Because of that, the only bones that Izuku broke were in his finger. Compared to the damage that could've happened if Izuku used his whole arm, the injury was severely minor.
Buttercup was impressed by the turn out of this and his thinking. Though she did not like the look of his injury.
Among the cheers and backhanded compliments (Yeah I'm talking about mister fake French boy with an incompatible quirk there (҂̀_́))
Bakugou was having his jaw hit the floor at the scene he just witnessed, not bringing himself to believe it. 'What the hell was that? If he had a Quirk, he would've gotten it when we were kids! This is impossible! He's up to something. I'm getting to the bottom of this.'
"Hey!" Everyone turned to see what was happening. Buttercup on high alert.
Bakugou charged at his target, "Deku, you bastard! Tell me how you did that, or you're dead!" Izuku was freaking out at the sudden turn. Before anyone, including Aizawa could do anything. A green flash zipped off to the rabid boy, effectively tackling and pinning him to the ground with enough force and pressure that it caused the boy to thrash out. Everyone was shocked but not nearly as shocked as the red and blue powerpuff's.
"Oh no." Bubbles gave a whisper.
Blossom gave a tired sigh. "Buttercup."
Still trying to get out of the girls grip. "W-what?! Get off of me you fucking girl!" Shooting insult after insult.
But Buttercup didn't let up. "Not until you learn some manners. Get a fucking grip on your temper boom boom baby." She held her position with a scowl on her face. Before she could do anymore "talking" a scarf tied around her and Bakugou's body, effectively stopping her from teaching the boy a lesson, much to her disdain.
"You two should quit it already. I hate having to use my powers willy nilly on trouble makers like you. Do I make myself clear?" Aizawa said with irritation. Bakugou yielded but Buttercup was not responding. This gave Izuku enough time to leave the whole mess and go to Ochako. As Buttercup went to where her sisters were, no doubt to get her own tongue lashing, Bakugou can't help but be angry at Izuku.
' Until the exam, he was nothing. A little bug I could crush if I wanted to. Just an annoying bug that I can smash into the ground.'
After a short while, the points have been tallied and…
They all gather by the ball throw area when they're done. Aizawa stands below a big black screen with a remote in his hands. "These are the results. Please do not gloat too hard. All of you could've done significantly better."

"What?" Izuku whispers. "That's—"
"Midoriya." Mr. Aizawa says, ice cold, "Please head to the principal's office. You are expelled." There was a lot of quiet shocked gasps and chatter till.
"That's a fat lie and you know it teach!" Buttercup yelled from the crowd, bringing all eyes on her. Everyone wondered what she was up to.
"What...?" Izuku said, confused.
With an irritated look, he addressed the problem child. "Excuse me Ms Kayama, I am the teacher and what I say goes. You are already on thin ice for attacking one of the students, so I recommend you-" oh if he knew Buttercup before saying that.
"What? You're going to expel me unfairly too?" She sarcastically remarked.
Aizawa was not playing anymore, eyes turned red, activating his quirk as he stepped forward. People were getting nervous on what he would do to her. Blossom and Bubbles were also getting nervous on what Buttercup could be up to.
Without backing down, she kept her gaze. "Look here moody, before you attempt to expel anyone, may I give you my reasons why you're test is garbage?" The man came to a halt.
With a raised eyebrow. "Explain yourself." He simply demanded with an at most chill.
"Firstly pal, your somewhat marking system must be dud at best. Since you seem to have forgotten your own words when you said this was a "quirk apprehension exam", not a physical fitness exam, and yet when I looked around, I saw some of these guys have quirks that do not meet the exercise system." Everyone was confused to say the least, "Secondly, those guys over there…" Now pointing at Kaminari, Hagakure, Mineta, Jirou and Sero who flinched at that. "Have not shown much better than the guy you're unfairly dismissing. You're bogus exam has only proven that there are those who have not had proper physical training and their quirks are less than suited for such. What I wonder is if this was faked or you didn't do your job properly?" She concluded with folded arms.
There was an uncomfortable silence in the air as many could hardly find the words to respond to what has happened.
Aizawa still looking pissed but turned off his quirk, and gave a sigh. "Hmm, I see I have real work on my hands as of this year. Very well Ms Kayama, you are right about the ruse, that being said." Turning to the stunned injured kid. "Midoriya, you are actually placed on position 15, not much improvement but at the very least you are not expelled." now turning to Mineta. "Mineta, you are effectively expelled, as you are the last one on the list and have performed worst out of everyone. Head to the principal's office." He says as he walked off, leaving everyone on the mental and emotional rollercoaster that was the first day.
"Now, I figure the school day's over now. Go and change, so that you can pick up the syllabus in the classroom and head home. And Midoriya, I suggest you go and get your finger checked by Recovery Girl." Aizawa concluded as he walked away, leaving his class stunned.
To say that the first day of school was a mess was an understatement. It started out so well but now the girls mostly Buttercup are viewed a certain way and not in good one. When they left back to their homeroom, the class's atmosphere was heavy when they arrived. They were not idiots; they understood that the majority of the class now didn't like the girls.
That left Buttercup to leave with a foul mood. The ride back home was really silent and all 3 girls were not sure how to address the situation but sooner or later it would happen.
They had gotten home to find a note from Midnight indicating that she was on late night patrol but left some food in the fridge. Dinner was uneventful at best, but it was after that settled it all.
"Buttercup!" knock knock.
"Buttercup!" knock knock.
"Come on! Open up will ya!"
She couldn't ignore them forever, like seriously they live in the same house. Begrudgingly she went to open the door and her sisters were standing by the door with Blossom's arms crossed and Bubbles holding a tray of cookies and milk. Oh yeah, this would be long.
Sitting at various places, they begun.
"Alright red, if you came to finally chew me out, let me have it." Buttercup groaned.
Blossom too a deep sigh. "You know, you are one of the most stubborn person I have ever met in my life. Like seriously, you just had to stir trouble on the first day of school. Did you really think that through?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
Buttercup just huffed and looked away.
"Blossom I know that it was not a very good day but I agree with what Buttercup did." Bubbles piped up.
They turned to the bubbly blonde. "How so Bubbles?"
Shifting in her chair. "Well honestly Bloss, the whole test didn't really make sense as a whole. Granted that it showed how some people are more physical keen than they are with their powers. The test did not really pan out to some of the student's quirks as Buttercup mentioned."
Buttercup may have been silent but she was slightly impressed by Bubbles reasoning and sticking up for her. Most times if she messes up, they both let her have it, but now.
Blossom sighs. "Honestly, I also agree with you Bubbles." Now it was time for Buttercup to be shocked.
"Seriously, you too teacher's pet?" Not the best time to mock someone.
Rolling her eyes, she did not pay that quip any mind. "Yes Buttercup. Although making the teacher and majority of our classmates mad at us on the 1st day does seem a tad too far."
"Oh please, the teacher is pissed because I called him out on his bs and the class is mostly mad at me not you two." Finally she eases herself.
"Either way, it is not how I wanted to make a first impression on the first day. But nevertheless, you sticking up for your friend is quite admirable Buttercup." Cocking a knowing smile at her sister as if she knew there was more to it than that.
Buttercup already knowing that smile. "Shove it Red! Aren't we heroes and as such, we should help out the weak willed or some junk like that?" Shrugging as if no big deal.
Bubbles giggled at that.
Buttercup quickly changed the subject "How do you think our second day of school will turn out tomorrow?" The question was open.
The girls gave each other a quick look. "Honestly, I hope we don't get any more drama like what we had today. That was scary." Bubbles responded as she took another cookie.
"Well we can't really say. UA is definitely unconventional as of today. But let us just see what tomorrow brings, okay girls?"
"Okay!" they said in unison.
Buttercup was reaching to get another cookie when she saw it was done.
"BUBBLES! You greedy cookie monster! You finished all the cookies!" Waving the plate to emphasize the lack of.
"Seriously Bubbles, I made like over a dozen cookies for us to share, how could you eat all of them that quick?" She asked bewildered.
"Sorry, you can't blame me. When it comes to cookies its every girl for themselves." She said, as if not seeing the big deal.
Buttercup was gritting her teeth while Blossom just sighed. "Well, I should have seen that coming." Sighing again "Honestly, how do you eat so much sweets but still maintain that build?" While shaking her head.
She shrugged with innocent face, "Maybe my natural born cuteness needs more energy." Drinking her milk as if what she said made sense.
That was it. Buttercup, reaching for her pillow, tossed it the cookie thief successfully knocking her off of the chair with a high pitched squeal, feeling oddly satisfied. Bubbles didn't take it lying down and jumped her older sister where they both fell in to a playful tussle. Blossom merely looked at her younger sisters antics before she left with a slight twitch on her lip that was a faded smile.
As she closed the door of her room, she couldn't help the thoughts that entered.
'I really wonder what tomorrow is in store for us?' With that she retired for the night with an unsure of what to expect.
