My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Selene and Celestia found that not much changed over the course of the days that passed by them, meaning they simply just continued to train in Cementoss' gym with the rest of their class, doing what schoolwork they had from the other classes, and making the necessary preparations. Izuku, Denki, and all of the others who put forth alterations and additions to their costumes were able to obtain the pieces that would allow them to more accurately use their Quirks, thus requiring more lessons in the gym to perfect their control over their abilities. Of course the teachers were more than willing to help them all learn how to do this, since they would need everything they could muster to pass the exam and obtain their Provisional Licenses, which was the next step of their education. The sisters were also interested in what came after the exam, since all of it would help them learn how to be better heroes, which was their main goal, even though for the time being they tackled everything that Aizawa and the others threw at them.

Selene also found that Minoru was suffering greatly, as the former boy really disliked how his life was turning out, since he was now on the receiving end of his own actions and had been hit on plenty of times since she struck him with the Quirk that had changed him, so it remained to be seen if he learned anything. Denki, on the other had, was more than fine with how her life had turned out, as the former boy was adapting well to her new feminine boy, and it helped that all of the other girls were so supportive of what was going on with her. Of course this did make Aizawa wonder when the Quirk was going to wear off, since it had been some time since they had been hit and it made him speak to the other teachers to see if any of them could speak with the villain that attacked the airport, to see if he had accidentally hit the two students. Selene could tell that such a thing was on his mind and said nothing about what she had done, though at the same time she knew that she would have to say something eventually, she just needed time to come up with a way to explain how the Quirk came into her possession.

At the same time Selene knew that she would have to explain Blood Singularity as well, which would throw everyone for a loop once that cat was out of the bag, so she needed to be careful about how she approached this and kept it in the back of her mind as she focused on what the exam might have in store for them.

The interesting thing that they discovered was that this exam would be held in a way that ensured that UA students didn't go and crush each other, as the one boy from Class 1-B really wanted to beat them and wreck their moods, but Vlad and Aizawa informed them that 1-A and 1-B were taking the exams in different arenas. In fact there were three locations that were part of this, so any of the other students from UA would likely be in the third location, though the main thing everyone took away from this was that there would be Quirks none of them knew about. This was due to the fact that classes from each of the hero schools would be taking part in this exam, though each of their opponents would have more training with their Quirks than what Izuku and the others had put into mastering their powers. Such a thing was clearly weighing on their minds, since some of the students in 1-A thought their Quirks weren't strong enough and were doing everything in their power to make sure they were ready for whatever the future held in store for them.

"Though that reminds me: Selene, Celestia, you two will have to watch yourselves, as the other schools will be seeking to do everything in their power to knock you two out." Aizawa told them, not that anyone was surprised, both sisters had two very powerful Quirks and they had been mentored by two of the highest ranking heroes in Japan, not counting Toshinori when he was still All Might, so plenty of students from the other schools would be seeking to eliminate them, "But, knowing you two, I have a feeling this warning will be unnecessary."

"Don't worry, we won't be using our weapons... pretty sure they'd be considered cheating." Selene replied, which was fair to think about since Solarion answered Celestia's call and Nightfell did the same with her, in fact no one else could use either weapon, and while one could argue they were part of their Quirks, which is how they've explained it so far, she had a feeling the exam officials would tell them to place the weapons somewhere safe.

"I don't know why they'd think such a thing, considering that they're part of your Quirks and Momo's been allowed to use all of the items she's made so far." Izuku commented, as none of the teachers had failed their classmate whenever she made a weapon or an item that gave her a tactical advantage on the field, in fact it was encouraged by many of them, so with that in mind he was of the opinion that his sisters could use their weapons, "But, if that's how you want to do things, I'm sure the rest of the students will appreciate the chance to show off their skills without worrying about such a thing."

Other than that warning and the following comments there wasn't much for the students to worry about as they trained as much as they could, especially with some of the girls talking about love during the night, and it wasn't long before the class was brought to the arena for the exam, the national stadium of Takoba.

"So, this is where we're taking the exam." Selene commented, though at the same time she and the other students carried their hero cases, since they would be using their costumes during the exam, but she was impressed by such a thing since this was a large place, meaning the exam was going to be massive, "I'll admit, I'm excited."

"Speak for yourself... I hope I can win myself a Provisional License." Mineta remarked, something that caused Aizawa to pull her to the side and inform the former boy that they would return with the license, it was basically they would secure them and move into a world where they were one step closer to being Pro Heroes.

Some of the other students got excited by this turn of events and even proclaimed that they should do their school motto, a fact that was followed by some boy in another school's uniform shouting 'Plus Ultra' with that group, something that came as a surprise to the rest of the class.

"Shiketsu High." Celestia remarked, as she and Selene recognized the school uniform of the other group that had arrived, as they were wearing white collared shirts, black pants, black shoes, and a blue and orange hat with the school logo on it, and both of the sisters knew the school had dark jackets that their students wore.

"Don't go crashing the circles of outsiders without permission, Inasa." one of the other students, one who seemed to be a stickler for rules and details, remarked, as he was standing at attention and seemed to be focused on something else while barely even looking at the boy with the buzzed dark brown hair, plus there seemed to be a blond haired girl and a tall hairy guy with him.

"Ah, you're right! Please accept my sincerest," the boy, Inasa, stated, where he actually brought his arms close to his sides, as if he was going to give them a formal bow or something, seemed to straighten his stance, and then, without warning, he just slammed his head against the ground as he bowed towards them, "APOLOGIES! I've always wanted to say that, your school motto, just once, because I just love your school... and that makes it a great honor for us to clash with you, especially you two: Selene and Celestia Midoriya."

The interesting thing was that he walked up to Selene and asked for her hand for a moment, where he kissed it for a couple of seconds, even though Celestia was sure that the boy was sending death glares at Shoto for some reason, but for the most part he seemed like a nice guy.

"I'm a fan of both of yours... specifically Selene, no offense to you, Celestia, even though you did knock that one around a bit during your match." Inasa said, referring to Shoto no doubt, meaning there was definitely a story there that they didn't know about, but for right now it did seem like he was a big fan and couldn't help but take the chance to do this since they were in the same area, before they became rivals in the exam, "Now I'm even more pumped for this exam!"

"It's nice to meet you as well." Selene replied, though at the same time the boy smiled at her for a moment, something that made her wonder if he might have fallen for her while watching them during the Sports Festival, it would explain why he felt the urge to kiss her hand like that, unless that was Shiketsu's lessons he was following, before Inasa turned and joined his companions as they headed into the arena.

"Inasa Yoarashi, an enthusiastic young man whose words are good natured... but he's no pushover." Aizawa commented, as for most of the students in the class this was one of the worst match ups they could have asked for, Inasa was going to spell trouble for those who couldn't match his power, in fact he was sure only the sisters could take him on in a fight, "When all of you were taking your entrance exams UA picked him as one of the recommended students, for a number of reasons... but, for some reason, he declined to join UA, despite loving it so much, and went with Shiketsu. He's got top marks, on par with both Selene and Celestia, meaning he's stronger than Shoto and Katsuki."

"Eraser? That you?" a feminine voice asked, where the group found that there was a female hero, like a jester of some kind, walking towards them, but, once more, just her appearance alone caused something to trigger in Izuku's mind as he quickly realized who was walking towards them, "I saw you on the television and everything, but I never thought I would bump into you here, of all places. Come on, let's get hitched."

Aizawa instantly turned her down and that caused the woman, Miss Joke according to Izuku, to burst out in laughter for a moment, and the sisters listened to their brother as he informed the class that her Quirk, so called Peals of Laughter, who had a unique way of using her Quirk to dull the senses of those she forced to laugh. Apparently she was a teacher as well, as she had a class of students from another of the hero schools, this time those of Ketsubutsu Academy, where her students were much friendlier than those of Shiketsu, since who shook hands with literally everyone from their class. The only one that didn't let the boy shake his hand was, of course, Katsuki, who seemed to be in a bad mood today, even though nothing had happened to make him annoyed, causing the sisters to sigh as they headed towards the building. Following that the rest of the class followed after them, many of the students excited by the fact that so many outside UA knew about them, which was when the sisters noted that Miss Joke turned to Aizawa for a moment.

"Did... Did you not tell them anything, Eraser?" Miss Joke asked, which actually seemed to deflate her mood for a moment, as if there was something that she believed the class should have known before coming here and was saddened by the fact that none of them seemed to have been told this critical piece of information.

"No need to, especially not with THEM at the top of the class." Aizawa replied, where he was glad for his scarf, because this was one of the rare moments where he smiled, as everyone would assume the tales were lies and go after the sisters, but after everything he had seen he knew that challenging them was a quick way to admit defeat.

Selene and Celestia found that they were escorted to the changing rooms, each marked with a name so they knew whose locker was whose, and at the same time discovered that the staff was willing to allow them to use their weapons, stating that they were part of their Quirks, and it wasn't long before they stood in a massive room with an unknown number of students, all wearing their hero costumes.

"There are far too many students here... over fifteen hundred, by my count." Selene softly said, as she did her best to count all of them and that was the number she had come up with, though this was also one of the rare times where she wished she could obtain a large sample collection of blood, as she could only imagine the types of Quirks that were here and how they might work with her main arsenal.

"Explains why they're willing to let us carry our weapons, since there are so many opponents in this exam." Celestia added, speaking as softly as her sister, even though they could see that the others were interested in the sheer number of students that were in this place, not to mention the few exam overseers that were dressed in black clothing, like agent out of a comic or something, "This is going to be interesting."

"Right, so, let's begin... this Provisional License thing... Hello everyone, I am Mera and I am with the Public Safety in Heroics Committee, and my favorite kind of sleep is non-rem sleep." the figure at the front of the room said, a sleepy individual that looked like he was about to collapse on the ground from exhaustion, though it was possible that he had some sort of odd condition that made it hard for him to sleep, before he let out an exhausted sigh, "Sorry, I've been so busy with work that I haven't been able to get enough sleep recently... not enough personnel, makes me wanna sleep... but now that I have espoused our principles, we shall commence the exam. Gathered in attendance here are 1540 examines, and all of you will be vying for victory all at once... I'm sure that many of you know that in this 'hero-saturated' society that there are many who have voiced their opinion on the state of heroics, especially since Stain was apprehended."

Many of them knew what he was talking about, there were plenty who believed that heroes shouldn't be focused on how much they could make from being a hero, which was what Stain was fighting before he was taken out, rather that heroes should be focused on self-sacrifice and doing what they could to help people.

"But, if you were to ask me, I would disagree... regardless of one's actual motives, I believe it's wrong to tell people like you, who are putting everything on the line, to expect nothing in return is foolishness." Mera continued, showing them that he was of the opinion that he expected heroes to be compensated for their time and efforts, even though there were those who clearly disagreed with him, though none of the students said anything, they were waiting for the man to finish with what he wanted to say so they could get on with the exam, "Anyway, no matter their reasons, for material gain, for glory, or because it was the right thing to do, at the end of the day they were all the same: they applied themselves to their duties, defeating villains and rescuing civilians. The time between a case appearing and when it is resolved has become very fast these days, and once you have your Provisional Licenses you will be throwing yourselves into that world... to be blunt, if you can't keep pace you won't get very far. With this in mind today's exam will be based on speed, and only the first hundred of you that clear the terms of the test will make the cut."

This, of course, was met with outrage from most of the students that were here, as this was completely unfair, especially due to the fact that most years the exam had a fifty perfect passing rate, so for this year they cut it way down to prevent putting too many unprepared students into the outside world. Mera continued to explain the rules as the screen behind him turned on, revealing a device, a button, that each student would put onto their bodies, in three areas as long as they didn't use their armpits or soles, and they were going to be given six balls. It was designed for them to hit the buttons of the other students and knock them out, and he instructed them that they should be focusing on going after people who have been hit twice, but also informed them that they only needed to beat two students to move on. Following that the room around the horde of students shifted and revealed the outside world to them, they were in the middle of the stadium and it had been turned into a massive city landscape with all sorts of terrain, and following that the exam assistants handed out the devices and balls that the students would be using.

Eventually the class scattered, some sticking together while others were separating themselves to make sure they could use their Quirks without getting everyone else involved, something that caused Selene to smile as she and Celestia headed out to see what sort of challenges the exam would throw at them before the day was done.
