Chapter 2: The Exam *REVISED*
"Sans! Bro,It's time to get up!"
"Nooo...five, more...years."
"Dude, we're going to be late for the exams! We overslept!"
Eijirou pushed Sans out of his bed.
"Fine, I'm up."
Two years have passed since Sans arrived in this world of humans. He still wore Papyrus's scarf almost religiously, to keep the piece of his little brother close by. His registered quirk was called Shortcut, but he had all access to all his magic. His Gaster Blasters, bone attacks, his weak healing, and his Soul manipulation.
Sans was resistant to most forms of change. So he wore the same or a similar outfit every day. A baggy pair of navy colored sweatpants, a loose fitting white shirt, and a baggy, extra large, blue hoodie with white fur on the inside. Sans was never able to put any "meat" on his new human body, so the baggy clothing helped obscure the fact he was literal skin and bones. He ate a lot of food so he knew that wasn't the issue. It must've had to been the lack of naturally occuring magic.
(pause! hey guys! chibi sans here! as the leading scientist in monster biology and magic, i'm here to give you a lesson! a monster, no matter the species, is composed of magic, duh obvious basics here. this type of magic is called "innate soul magic." it's exactly as it sounds. a monster's soul is responsible for creating the magic that creates a monster's physical body.
the counterpart for "innate soul magic" is what i call "unrefined magic." this type of magic is created by nature and by the culmination of living beings in one area and nature. "unrefined magic" was a blessing in the underground. Due to our lack of food products after the great war ended, monsters had to plant what seeds and other vegetation they had for monster survival. with the "unrifined magic" in the underground, we were able to grow many crops like wheat, water sausages, potatoes, etc. We never had a good line of access to meat, however talented monsters were able to create substitutes with the crops they grew. I'm just happy we had wheat. Wheat leads to yeast and yeast leads to the best damn whiskey grillby's can serve! until next time! chibi sans outtie.)
Sans shook his head, ridding his thoughts as he was rushed to get dressed by his pushy bro. By that point Natsumi and Eijirou both knew about his origins. It only made sense to tell Ichika's wife and son about his home and his former species. It would've killed them both inside if they tried to lie or keep secrets from the two rays of sunshine.
Natsumi might've seemed serious when they first met, but she was a cop and a detective (this world's equivalent to the Royal Guard) so she just jumped into cop mode to avoid seeming panicked. She was a real sweetheart with a level head.
As for Eijirou, Sans really wanted to keep the whole thing from him even, but he eavesdropped when he told Natsumi. Eijirou was like Papyrus in a lot of ways. When he first met him, he was quiet and almost always nervous and scared. During Sans's two year stay with him and his moms, Eijirou grew from his metaphorical shell.
He knew it was thanks to a literal pink skinned girl he'd seen him hang out with during middle school. He was more confident, dyed his hair, and was getting to be more and more of a good person with every passing day.
Sans would forever be grateful to that Ashido girl for helping Eiji. She reminded him of Undyne a little bit in that way.
<~>
Running down the sidewalk to the prestigious UA High School was not something Sans wanted to do ever again. His ear was nearly talked off by how excited his little brother was.
"Hey, Eiji, I know you're excited, but my eardrum can't handle all the yapping. And I can't walk anymore."
"Don't be mean bro! I'm excited! Aren't you?"
"Maybe. I guess your excitement rubbed off on me."
Sans gave Eijirou a noogie. Said faux redhead got himself free only to fix his hair back on top of his head. He then checked the time on his phone, hauled Sans over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and started running again. On the way in, Sans could see a few interesting humans.
A boy with dark green hair walking with a girl with brown hair, a stiff guy wearing a fancy suit with weird protrusions from the backs of his lower legs, a pissed looking blonde boy, and a certain pink skinned girl he remembered vividly from middle school. The sight of Ashido Mina made his lazy grin morph into a smirk and his eyelights form into single stars.
They eventually sat in a crowded auditorium listening to the Sound Hero, Present Mic talk about the giant machines they'd have to fight. Sans fell asleep halfway through, only waking up when Eijirou nudged him.
"Bro, go to the giant doors with a giant red A on the door, kay?"
"Okay, what am I doing?"
"Just fight all the robots you find. The more you destroy, the more points you get."
"Sounds simple enough. See ya lil bro."
Sans followed people who were talking about the A door and yawned when he got there.
"Alright kiddies, go destroy many robots!"
The doors opened after some sultry voice spoke over an intercom. There was no way Sans was getting trample for this. He stepped out of everyone's way and gave a big stretch as the hoard of teens ran out pushing and shoving. He opted to lazily walk and watch the humans fight each other more than the robots.
With most of the humans more focused on their fellow competitors, it was fairly easy for Sans to hotwire one of the smaller robots and rewire it to attack other robots. He made sure to follow his robot and help many humans out of dangerous situations. He didn't keep track but he didn't care too much. With the amount of cameras placed everywhere, the heroes/staff were keeping track of everyone and their points.
Sans's robot was destroyed by the same ashy blonde he saw outside. A strong scent of burnt caramel and smoke assaulted Sans's senses before anything. It was mildly pleasing to him. They held eye contact for a couple seconds before the blond "tched" at him and flew away. Well, more accurately, his hands exploded and that made him fly away. Sans ignored the twinge of heat in his cheeks and rewired a new robot.
And thank Toby Fox he did. The ground started rumbling and made him lose his balance. A fake telephone pole fell and pinned Sans's legs to the ground.
"Crap."
He didn't think his legs were broken, but damn they hurt like nobody's business. He made a little remote and linked it to "his" robot's central computer. He was riding on his robot's hands as he saw a giant robot stomping down the fake streets.
All the humans were screaming and fleeing, except for one. A human boy with a large tail; a tail that was pinned under a large amount of rubble. To top it off he was unconscious. Perfect. Take note of the heavy sarcasm.
Sans used his robot to get to the kid. He summoned a Gaster Blaster to vaporize the huge robot while he got the kid to safety. His robot had Sans in its left hand and the kid in its right.
"Hey, kid. Wake up."
Sans slapped the kid's face a couple times to wake him up. And it worked, though his cheeks were red.
"Huh? What?"
The boy's eyes shot open, but he groaned in pain. His voice was incredibly hoarse and there was no denying his tail was broken in multiple places. Definitely not something Sans could help with his weak ass healing talent.
"Yeah, try not to move so much. I'm pretty sure the bones in your tail are broken. Here, you need this more than me."
Sans gave him his water bottle and the human chugged half of it before talking again.
"Did you rescue me?"
"I did. Why? D'ya have a, bone, to pick with me?"
"No! Thank you. I could've died if not for you."
"Don't mention it. Are ya in pain?"
"Y-yeah."
"The test will be over soon.I don't have any meds on me. Did ya get any points?"
"A couple, but I don't think it'll be enough."
"Welp."
Sans made the robot lift the tailed boy by the back of his martial arts uniform and started walking to an area with other robots.
"I can't help your pain, but I can help ya get some points."
Sans watched as the kid fought robot after robot with his fists and feet alone. So, after splinting his tail with a piece of dulled down metal, Sans let the human destroy his robot once he was out of harm's way. E.g, slouching against a fallen tree.
"Thanks for helping me get more points! My name is Ojiro."
"Sans, and don't worry about it. I had nothing better to do."
Sans offered a lazy grin and limped beside Ojiro to the entrance of the exam. A short old woman was handing out sweets and kissing everyone's cheek. The people she kissed started healing at an accelerated pace. Sans was deeply impressed and not jealous of her clearly superior healing in the slightest.
The older woman, Recovery Girl, gave Sans and Ojiro gummies before she was rushed off to area B.
"It's been real Ojiro. I hope you make it into the class you want."
"You too. You'll be a really great hero one of these days."
Sans used a shortcut to travel to the auditorium where Eijirou was talking to a girl with green vines for hair.
"Eiji, let's go. Natsumi is making takoyaki and tempura tonight and I am not missing it."
"Okay okay, I'm coming! Bye, Shiozaki, I wish you luck!"
After Eijirou grabbed Sans hand, he used a shortcut to go back to Eijirou's house.
Natsumi: "Hey boys. Welcome home."
Ichika: "How'd you two do? Spare no details!"
"I think I did awesome! Sans?"
"Who knows. We'll find out when we get the results."
"Dude, did you keep track of your points?"
"Was I supposed to?"
"Umm, I don't know. Maybe?."
Natsumi: "Go get showers and change out of those nasty, sweaty clothes. Dinner's almost done."
"Okay!"
Sans was dragged upstairs and they took turns taking quick showers. He wore a light blue shirt and a pair of white sweatpants. Eijiro wore a red and black equivalent. They sat at different sides of the small four person table and enjoyed a bountiful seafood dinner.
Sans's first time eating seafood had him a little apprehensive, with Undyne as his brother's best friend, but figured out that the fish here wasn't sentient so it didn't matter to him. And it was delicious no matter how it was prepared.
Ichika: "Sans, it's your turn to do the dishes. Eijirou, it's your turn for laundry."
"Okay."
Sans summoned small blasters to carry the dirty plates to the sink as he yawned and scratched his head. He threw a hanging piece of his scarf over his shoulder to wash the dishes without getting it wet. He let out a sad chuckle. Papyrus would be so happy to see him actually doing housework.
<~>
"Hey Sans?"
"What's up, bro?"
"What if I don't get into UA?"
"What are you talking about?"
"What if I didn't pass the entrance exam? My quirk isn't all that flashy, so maybe I didn't get any attention from the pros."
"Eijirou, you don't need a super flashy power. Just be yourself and use what you have available to you. If you worry about what you can't do, you'll never see what you can do. You're awesome enough as is. And if the UA staff can't see that, then they're gonna have a bad time."
Eijirou's laughter made Sans sigh in relief. A shoe flew over Sans head.
"Shut up, Mr. Funny Bone!"
Sans laughed and pinned Eijirou with a Gaster Blaster.
"No fair!"
"Heh, all's fair in love and war, and I didn't hear rules laid out. Good night, Eiji."
"Night Sans."
<~>
"Sans! Wake up!"
"Nooo. You can't make meee. There's no school today."
"Our exam results came in!"
"But it literally just happened yesterday."
Eijiro tore open his envelope and a hologram disk fell on his desk. A projection of the Gun Hero: Snipe filled the wall.
"Greeting Young Kirishima. You have scored thirty nine villain points, and thirty five rescue points. Your grand total of points amounted up to seventy four. Good work and welcome to the Class 1A hero course."
Sans smirked and patted Eijirou's shoulder.
"Told ya you'd make it. Now for me."
"Sans opened his envelope and tossed the disk where Eijirou's was. The overly sexualized heroine, Midnight, replaced Snipe on the wall.
"Hello sweet boy. You scored sixty-five villain points, and forty-seven rescue points. The fact you helped the Ojiro boy was so sweet the board decided to grant you an extra five points, for displaying such sportsmanship. Your grand total of points is one hundred and seventeen! Congratulations young man! Welcome to the Hero Class, 1-A!"
Sans and Eijiro stared at the wall where midnight had been, in disbelief. So that was the sultry voice he heard on the loudspeaker.
"One hundred and seventeen?! Dude, that's so awesome!"
"I didn't think I'd do that well. I didn't even try!"
"Dude, we're going to be in the same class!"
"Good thing too, I wouldn't want you to feel, bonely, without me."
The two fell into stitches and the Kirishima family plus Sans celebrated over a big luxurious breakfast of fruit, waffles, and tea. Sans was lowkey excited for his hero academia.
Vote, comment, and have a fantabulous day 😊😊💖💖
