Chapter 17 - Practical Exam

Pov Kaminari
I groaned as I woke up to my alarm clock the next morning. It was pretty early but I couldn't sleep anyway. I robbed a place last night... Oh my fucking God! I'm a criminal! I groaned, covering my face, feeling I still had my rings on. Damnit! I lifted my hands, looking at the golden accessoires on my fingers. Black-Out. I sighed, letting my hands fall beside my head. What is my life even?

I frowned when there was a knock on my door and something slid underneath. What the hell? It's six in the morning! Who is up at this hour?! Groggily I crawled out of bed, dragging myself to the door, only to see an enveloppe sticking underneath it. It had some writing on the back, but it was kinda hard to read in the dark and I was too lazy to turn on the lights. Something about payment? I frowned, ripping the damn thing open, only to see a bunch of cash inside. Well, that woke me up quickly. I turned on the light, reading the note again.

Tnx for the help B-O! Consider this your payment ;p ~GR

I stared at it with big eyes and started to count the money. This is 250.000 yen! Oh my God! Wait, what the hell?! How did this get in my house?! Did someone break in?! I grabbed my phone, instantly calling Shinsou to make sure this was really happening.
"Argh... Denki? What the hell, it's 6am" he groaned, sleepily.
"I think there's someone in my house" I whispered quickly.

"I-I got this enveloppe with a bunch of money in it and I think it's from the Green Reaper and-"
"Kaminari, calm down" he hissed, sighing.
"It's fine, okay? Like I said, the Reaper cares about his family and his people. Of course we get paid. You think we're risking our lives for free or something? Dude's gotta make a living ya know"
"We're teenagers" I hissed.
"See it as pocket money" Shinsou shrugged.

"Besides, you didn't get as much as me or Shoto cause you're not actually a part of the union. Consider yourself lucky the boss paid you. Probably shush money though"
"Wait, how much did you get out of this?" I asked seriously.
"I don't know, around 500K, why?" he asked lazily, like it was the most normal thing in the world.
"What?!" I whisper shouted with wide eyes. That was double of mine!

"Denki, please, stop freaking out about it and just accept it okay?" my boyfriend groaned.
"I'm going back to sleep, see you at school"
With that Shinsou hung up on me. I groaned, throwing my phone on my bed out of frustration. 250K yen... And that for a one time thing that didn't even took me a lot of effort... I mean, with this new power I'm basically unstoppable! Unfortunately I can't use it out in the open yet. I would have to transform since my regular body can't handle the charge it takes on me.

I sighed, falling back on my bed. I kinda like this side of the job... I quickly shook my head at that thought and started to get ready for school. When I arrived there, I noticed a group of four walking onto the grounds at well. It was a strange sight to see those people together... Well, I know Shinsou and Midoriya walk to school together, so that's nothing new.

What is new, is the fact that Bakugou is walking with them, holding hands with Midoriya! And if that wasn't shocking enough already, Todoroki was with them too! Yes, of course I knew they were friends through D.E.K.U. but they weren't friends at school, were they? And since when are Bakugou and Midoriya a thing?!

"Morning Kaminari-kun~" Shinsou smiled, kissing me on my cheek.
"Oh, uhm, yeah, good morning" I said, forcing a smile before staring back at that two polar opposites.
"What the hell you looking at dunce face?!" Katsuki hissed, making me cringe.
"There is no need for violence, Bakugou-" Todoroki tried to defuse the situation.

"Shut up icyhot! Come on Deku, let's go" the angry blond snarled, dragging the innocent green head along.
"Sorry!" Midoriya shouted with a happy smile, running behind his Kacchan.
"When did that happen?" I asked in shock, being left alone with my partners in crime.
"Apparently they got together yesterday" Shinsou shrugged.

"I think that whole commotion in the locker room gave him the final push he needed to confess" Todoroki shrugged, following us inside.
"Well, I'm glad he's happy. Maybe he'll be less grumpy now too?" I asked hopefully.
"Wouldn't count on it" the halfa muttered, looking dead ahead. I followed his gaze, seeing Katsuki was ready to blow up the Bakusquad at any moment while Midoriya tried to keep the situation under control. But let's be real here, what can a quirkless boy do in a situation like this?

"One word and you're dead, you got that shitty hair?!"
"I-I only said you two look cute together-"
BAM! Explosion to the face.
"Kacchan!" Izuku whined, trying to pull his boyfriend off his friends.
"I think you're needed over there" Shinsou chuckled, signing Midoriya to come over.
"See ya at lunch"

With that he and Deku left, leaving me and Todoroki to deal with this mess.
"Good luck" the halfa muttered, walking to other way. Oh come on! Such a loyal family, that stupid union... Ugh.
"What are you looking at fuck face?!"
"N-nothing! I swear" I said quickly, holding my hands up in surrender. He simply huffed, walking past me without another word.

"Geez, you'd think he'd be happy now that Midoriya is his boyfriend..." Sero muttered, glad to have avoided Bakugou's wrath.
"I think that was him being happy" Kirishima said slowly, a little unsure of himself.
"He's just showing off his dominance, making it clear the quirkless guy is his and no one should mess with them" Jirou shrugged.
"Not the first time I've seen stuff like that happen"

"You mean you know more quirkless people?" Ashido asked surprised. The quirkless were quite rare around these parts because they have the tendency to huddle up together in certain neighbourhoods or even countries. Most of the quirkless live in North-West Europe due to that fact. It's why we don't see them a lot around here. Midoriya was even the first person I ever met without a quirk. It's such a strange concept for most people since quirks are seen as normal nowadays.

"Oh yeah, I've been to Europe once when I was a kid and they're very protective over their quirkless. It's crazy" she laughed. I know why she thought it was funny. It's because around here, they're seen as less, treated unequal. But that's less in Europe, they have laws to prevent it. It's worse in America though, where the quirkless are almost treated like modern slaves.
"Well, I'm just glad he has finally confessed" I sighed.

"I mean, he really took his time. How long has he known Midoriya likes him too?"
"A few days now, I'd say" Kirishima agreed.
"But you know how he is. Bakubro isn't very good with emotions"
This made most of us snort or chuckle. Katsuki and emotions? Yeah right. It was a joke all on its own.
"Oh my God! We have to hurry or we're gonna be late for class!" Mina gasped, looking at her phone.

That woke us all up and we almost ran towards the classroom. I was the last to enter and was stopped by Aizawa sensei himself.
"Just on time, Kaminari Denki" he spoke on a stern tone. It made shivers run down my spine and I squeaked. Oh no, what did I do wrong now?! I wanted to escape to my seat but he held me back.
"I know your kind, boy. Mess with Hitoshi's feelings and I'll skin you alive" he whispered into my ear on a threatening tone.

"Yes sir!" I squeaked out in a high voice and basically ran to my place.
"Now, the exams are upon us, as you are all aware of" he continued like that didn't just happen. he explained how we all needed to pass if we wanted to go on camp and Yaoyorozu provided extra study sessions over at her place to help poor unfortunate souls like myself. What an angel.

Pov Midoriya
Kacchan and I studied for our exams together. Sometimes one of his friends, Kirishima Eijirou, would join us. I was top of my class and from what I heard Kacchan was top three as well. Didn't expect anything else from my amazing boyfriend! Of course we both nailed the written exams but for him it was the physical that was the hard part. Well, for the whole hero course, actually. They all thought they were gonna fight robots but boy were they wrong...

"Are you ready Midoriya?" Aizawa sensei asked as I came out of the changing room.
"How does it fit?"

I was wearing a green jumpsuit with white lines tracing my figure. It had a hood with bunny ears, so cute! I was wearing my red sneakers and around my waist hung a tight black belt full of small pockets in which I stored my ammo. On either side of me a hand gun and on my back a sniper. I also had knifes stored away on my suit.

Mom didn't trust me to go out alone on the streets when we just moved away so dad arranged self defence classes for me. He taught me how to fight, how to use a gun... Being quirkless is dangerous, I had to be able to protect myself! Even though father knew I had a quirk, it didn't make him any less concerned. That was before I founded D.E.K.U., that is...

"It fits perfectly! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity Aizawa sensei!" I smiled.
"Please, call me Shouta" he said with a small smile as we started walking.
"I take it you kept your mouth, like I asked?"
"Yep! I told absolutely no one" I smiled. Cause the truth is... That practical hero exam? That's me. They had to defeat me, a quirkless 'villain'. It was rather funny, oh the irony.

None the less I immediately agreed to do it when Eraserhead asked. He had looked into my files, in which it was reported I was allowed to use fire arms since I'd gotten the proper training.
"Good" he stated.
"Now I know you're close with some of my students, but I ask you not to pick favourites"
"Of course not! I promise I'll evaluate them properly and treat them all equally!"
"I didn't expect otherwise... Now take your position, I'm going to announce the surprise" he grinned.

I nodded and turned on my earpiece, running onto the urban city called ground beta. This was going to be so much fun! I took my position and turned on the earpiece, now hearing Aizawa explain the exam to his students.
"You will enter the area one by one, carrying these targets on your body" he explained and I could visualise him showing off the targets.

"Your goal is to either save all hostages within the time limit or take out the villain. You fail if a hostage dies or if the villain takes you out by hitting all of your targets. You go in after I call your name. You can enter when the one before you is done or has failed"
I chuckled as he used the word hostages. It were literary flower bags with faces painted on them.

"Sir? Who are we fighting exactly?" I heard someone ask. I recognized the voice as Uraraka Ochako. She was a sweet girl and we were actually pretty close friends. I just hope she'll survive what I've got planned for her...
"That's a surprise" Shouta grinned, earning a lot of protest from his class.
"Listen, in real life situations you won't always know who you're up against. So be prepared for anything"

Even a quirkless boy with a gun...

My personal goal was for not a single one of them to see me and wonder who took them down so easily. I know that will be hard to accomplish but if I manage, I might be moved up into the hero course! Can you imagine? The Green Reaper in the hero course? Oh all the information I could gather, the quirks I could study and potentially use to enhance even more people or animals! It would be delightful!

The gates opened and the first victim-excuse me-hero walked inside. I instantly shot the target on his chest from where I was sitting. Being a sniper is an art, and I will make this my masterpiece. The class gasped since they all saw it happen. That's right. No mercy. I quickly shot a second target on his shoulder, daring him to make a move.

Come on captain sparkles, is standing still all you've got? I'll hit his five targets in no time if this keeps up! But then something unexpected happened. He spotted me. My eyes widened as his laser beam came straight for me and I rolled away just in time.

"I'm okay" I coughed into my microphone, something that Aizawa sensei gave me out of concern for my wellbeing. They couldn't always see what was going on in the field so I had to rapport every now and then. If they went full out on their quirks, there was no way I would be able to defend myself, or at least that's the reasoning behind it.

I shook my head, looking back into the scope of my sniper to see the twinkling sparkle had vanished. Damnit! I groaned, standing up and going to the roof where I would've a better overview point. I mean, I know where the hostages are and he needs to come through here if he wants to get them to safety... Right now the gates were closed again, leaving everyone to wonder who they were up against as I searched for my prey.

Aha, gotcha! And there goes your third target. I noticed how he let me shoot him to defend one of the hostages. Hmm, smart... Wait. Does that mean he knows where I am?! Fuck! Before I knew it, I was hit with another navel laser. It shot my sniper out of my hands and made me fall back.
"Everything okay? Did he hit you?" I heard Aizawa ask through the earpiece.
"I'm fine" I coughed.

"But my weapon is broken. He's got a sharp eye that one... I'm defeated, he wins"
"Roger that, I'll have Present Mic bring you a new one"
