Midoriya was headed obliviously towards a rock.
"What do we dO!" The second shouted, sounding suspiciously like Kermit in his stress. "Someone with more than half a brain cell should think of something!"
The fourth knitted his brow tightly together, absently tapping his chin as he hummed. This was his thinking routine, it would've worked better if he was sat on an ancient rock but standing works fine too. "I'm thinking, thinking, thinking..."
"He's thinking people!" Daigoro hyped, clapping his hands loudly.
"Think faster, he's about to break his nose! Thats how you get bullied you know." The third scoffed.
The fourth contined to hum, scrunching his face up tightly before returningto his normal neutral expression. "Nope. I got nothing."
"Maybe i should deafen him with my name like the fourth did?" Nana asked hesitantly, she received nods. "Uh ok, my name is Nana Shimura."
"Well that didn't sound like static to me." The sixth deadpanned. "Maybe the fourth is just Satan."
"WHAT THE FUCK?? GOD?? ARE YOU TROLLING US??" Daigoro yelled at the blue sky, sneering at the clouds as they shifted condescendingly.
"Nice to meet you Shimura-san!" The first laughed. "I'm Ḧ̵̢̬̪̖̗́̂̍̅͘͜͜a̷̢̨̦͎̘̪̖̼͕̗͐̄͆͘͠͝ḣ̶͉͔̗̰̯̭̹͍͗̔̓͜ä̶̫̬́̒̓̀͑̊́͠ Shigaraki."
"I want what the universe is on." The second snorted, getting six unimpressed glares in response. "Oh would you look at that, greenie took a tumble."
The other six users promptly let out long, agonizing, strangled cries.
"He looks strangely happy about this." The third deadpanned sourly as he watched Deku fall to the floor wearing a strained smile. "He's going to be the second death of me i swear."
"Dun dun duuh. A wild child appears to save the day, woot woot!" The second cheered, bouncing around the greenettes floating form. "And he's totally floating without being in space, thats wack!"
"You can go to space? I thought that was like the bottom of the ocean; you just know its there."
"Oh you poor superpowered baby." The first mumbled softly, placing a hand on the sixths short person shoulder. "You know nothing." He whispered in an uncharacteristically patronizing tone.
"UHm no way you haven't been to the bottom of the ocean with your quirks. Come on." The third scoffed.
"It's scary down there man! Have you seen the mutated shark creatures that are built like a jenga set." Daigoro retaliated with his tongue poking out his mouth tauntingly.
"You are getting distracted boys. This child has an exam in approximately 5 minutes an yet you're here discussing the ocean?" Nana glared, entering full mom mode. "I'm disappointed."
"Here i thought my mom died hundreds of years ago mcdamn bruh." The second muttered earning a silencing glare from the mother.
The group fell into silence as they shamefully trailed behind the greenette who had just had his mind blown at the wonder of the female species.
'Ah puberty'
~☆~
The ghosts followed Deku all the way into a grand looking room which housed hundreds of separated desks each with a thick looking booklet sat on top. The greenette nervously shuffled around the individual desks, trying not to hold eye contact with the other students for too long.
He took a second glance at the piece of paper in his hand which told him his seat and examinee number. There was so many people and every seat looked exactly the same, people were beginning to give him funny looks and hoo boy this was a mistake.
"At least he's not the only one dumbly standing around? That yellow haired kid sat in the wrong seat seven times now." Daigoro tried to see the optimistic side but was told to keep looking by Mama Shimura.
Deku was about to leave, cry or die when a frog-like girl tapped his shoulder, identifying herself as his seat neighbor. Izuku had never let out a louder sigh of relief. The pair of green heads traversed the sea of desks and quirked teenagers towards the back of the grand hall, finding their desks just as Snipe, Midnight and Ectoplasm began to introduce the written exam.
Deku wished he could've said thank you to the girl but silence was mandatory for the test. He smiled at her in hopes she could decipher his immense gratitude.
"You may begin your papers! The best of luck to all of you and remember." Midnight smiled sadistically, sending a shiver down Deku's spine made of anxiety and raw excitement. "Go beyond!"
"Plus ultra!" Ectoplasm and Snipe harmonized throwing their fists into the air. Deku really thinks he needed that as he opened his exam.
~♡~
Halfway through the exam:
"The answer is B." The sixth whispered to nobody in particular.
"No. It's C, what type of hero would pick B?" The third scoffed, initiating an intese staring contest with the other man as they whispered insults to eachother.
"Who's going to tell them the answer is A?" Nana whispered before reeling back with a confused expression. "And why are we whispering? Last time i checked we were on a different plain of existence."
"We don't want to distract this Deku kid, if he can magically hear us." The fourth explained in hushed tones, Nana nodded in understanding.
"Oh i got a look at his ID, and it said his name was Izuku Midoriya." The first said quietly with a small smile, when he was alive he was only a civilian which meant he wasn't much help on the heroics exam.
"Cute name for a cute kid." Daigoro nodded. "So that dandelion looking kid was just being a douche? Man."
"Guys! Look!" The second yelled, he was stood quite far away from the rest of the group, testing the boundaries of this tether. "I made it two rows of seats away! I think if we keep pushing this tether it could break."
"Thats lovely twosie!" Nana smiled brightly however her expression soon shifted to something darker. "But lower the volume, mhm? I have no doubt you could break dimensions with your sheer volume."
"I was a vigilante, i don't see why you can't just push someone annoying off a roof? Doesn't matter if they're good or bad, i hear gravity is cruel." The second replied, blatantly ignoring the mothers wrath emanating off of Nana.
"Just go back to pushing the tether, huh?" Daigoro snorted. "I'll help."
The third and sixth paused their argument to peer at Izuku's paper. "If the answer is A, why is this child going for D?"
User number four cracked his knuckles, a metaphorical light bulb above his head. "Alright, lets just all yell the answer and see what happens. He was obviously a bit unfocused when twosie was yelling."
"So like." The sixth hummed. "THE FUCKING ANSWER IS A, MIDORIYA. GET IT TOGETHER!"
"A. A. A. A." Daigoro chanted repeatedly.
"A AS IN ASSHOLE, LIKE YOUR BLONDE FIEND."
"PICK THE VOWEL MY BOY. THE VOWEL."
Izuku was sure the answer was D, however he has the sinking feeling, that isn't quite his gut, thats telling him to go with A. This whole test was rough, at one point he zoned out on the word beach because it looked like bitch.
He put his pen to paper, frowning with determination as the ink leaked out of his pen in the form of a tick right in the A box. He really hopes he did right in listening to this not-gut feeling...
Daigoro grinned, stretching his arms out excitedly. "Look at us go! Let's see, next question. 'You see a child standing in an alleyway, what do you do?'" He narrated, his grin falling with every word. "What does that even mean?"
"Come on." The third grunted. "It's not that deep, you obviously help the child. The answer is B."
"Uh, but the child could have a knife?" The sixth stated like it was the most obvious thing on the planet. "And why assume the child needs help anyway? I used to hang in alleyways as a kid. The answer is C, walk away, it ain't your business. "
The fourth blinked at the boy three times, trying to decipher whether he was being genuine or not before ultimately deciding the sixth user of One For All was a certified dumbass. "While there are many things wrong with what you just revealed, i do agree the child might be carrying a knife."
"Why would a child be carrying a knife?" Nana pressed with a frown.
"The answer is probably the same reason a child is alleyway lurking in the first place, Ms. Shimura." The second chimed in, sagely nodding as he spoke. "From experience, i say you should always assume everyone and thing wishes to shank you."
"From experience?!" Daigoro distantly muttered.
"Even a child? A young innocent little human?" The seventh continued, paying no mind to Daigoro's quiet alarm. She was basically on top of the seconds toes at this point, the pair having moved closer as the argument progressed.
The second cackled humourlessly, saliva gurgling in his throat briefly before he spoke again with growing volume. "I see you haven't spent long around children! Because, Ms. Shimura, children are genuinely spawns of satan himself. A child would pick up a knife and chase you around the city laughing like a witch."
Nana frowned at the man she was essentially butting heads with before backing down with a sigh, replacing her frown with a gentle smile. "Did a kid actually chase you around with a knife?" She asked softly, trying to conceal how funny she found that particular image.
"Once or twice." The second grinned back lightly.
"Aww, thats cute." The third remarked dryly, interrupting the sweet moment of blossoming friendship with an unheard record scratch. "But we didn't agree on an answer. We just assumed this hypothetical scrappy brat had a knife."
The sixth puffed out his cheeks, sauntering over to where Izuku was sat to check the options under the question.
A. Call the police or pro hero
B. Help the child yourself
C. Walk away, it ain't your business nosy
D. Detain the child effective and immediately
"This seems like more of a personality test than an entrance exam." The boy said sourly, though his expression quickly brightened. "However option D is very enticing."
User number four sighed. "I think we should just let Izuku decide on this one since everyone is so incompetent when it comes to morality." There was a lull in the conversation while Izuku quickly scratched down an answer. "He chose B." The third blatantly had to restrain himself from heckling the others.
The sixth squinted at the new question and then grinned again. "This one is the easiest yet!" He scoffed at the way the other users scrunched their faces up in doubt. "Genuinely! It's 7 × 7, that's it. Thats the question. And the answer is obviously 56."
"No, it's 49. Did you even get an education, young one?" The first asked sweetly.
The sixth gagged. "Not the E word."
"So you definitely didn't go to school then."
"Never bring up the S word around me. It's triggering."
"Uh, this question definitely isn't simple." The second shouted. "It says 'Make sure you consider all the variables before answering' under the answer box in small print. Sneaky rat man." Everyone ignored Nana's distant call of 'dog'.
The thirds ever present frown deepened, as he strided over to Izuku's table. "What variables? The question is actually 'What Is 7 × 7'." The ghost tried to pick up the test paper out of habit only for his hands to go through the desk. "Shit." He quietly cursed.
"Hear me out." The fifth hollered, getting everyones attention. "Seven times seven of what? Thats the real question. Seven accounts of arson multiplied by Seven accounts of fraud? Seven Dads multiplied by Seven Moms."
"I cannot wait to see where you're going with this point."
"In one of those questions, you've committed 49 crimes whereas in the other one it cancels out since you technically have 0 dads in Midoriya's case. Seven multiplied by zero is zero."
The second burst into laughter while the third tried to walk away, only to be stopped by the tether much to his disappointment. Nana simply blinked at the fifth, trying to decide what the best course of action would be following such a revelation.
"That made zero sense." The fourth deadpanned, disappoint lacing his voice.
And Daigoro was inclined to agree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm going on a tirade of rewriting this shit. I wanted to get it to at least 2000 words. I'll try and do the next chapter soon as well. This is why your chapters take too long smh.
I also noticed a continuity error the size of the fucking sun amd I'm genuinely surprised nobody pointed it out yet. As if I'd tell you, I'm going to get away with this one.
Have a nice day/night 💃🕺
