One week later, the tension that had been building up in Izuku's chest seemed to crush him in waves. He had not spoken a word to All Might since the exam, too caught up in his doubts and insecurities. The silence between them weighed heavily, and as the days passed, Izuku's sense of impending failure grew more suffocating. He sat at his desk now, his fingers nervously tracing the edges of the letter that had been delivered to his home a few moments ago. The letter that would determine his future. The letter with the results of the U.A. Entrance Exam.

Izuku's mind raced, replaying every moment of the exam in vivid detail, every mistake, every hesitation. "I didn't do enough. I wasn't strong enough. I couldn't..." His thoughts trailed off into a spiral of self-doubt, a crushing weight in his stomach. What if All Might had been wrong about him? What if he wasn't cut out for this?

His mind drifted into darkness, the thought of failure too overwhelming to ignore, when suddenly, a soft knock at the door pulled him out of his spiraling thoughts. His heart jumped as the door opened slightly, and his mother, Inko Midoriya, stepped in with a warm smile on her face.

"Izuku, you have a visitor," she said gently, her tone light and cheerful, as if sensing her son's heavy mood. Behind her stood Junæ, her figure calm and composed. The young woman's presence immediately filled the room with an air of confidence, her golden eyes shimmering as they locked with Izuku's.

Junæ's gaze held no judgment, only a quiet strength that Izuku could feel deep within. He swallowed hard, trying to muster up a response, but his throat felt tight. She stood in the doorway for a moment, then offered a soft nod in his direction.

"Thank you, ma'am," Junæ said politely, her voice like a smooth melody, before she stepped inside, her movements almost effortless. Inko smiled at the two of them before stepping aside, allowing them the space they needed.

As the door clicked shut, Junæ gave Izuku a calm, steady look. Her presence, so composed yet understanding, seemed to settle the anxious energy that had been building inside him. The silence between them stretched for a brief moment, but Junæ was the one to break it, her eyes softening.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, her voice still cool but tinged with concern. There was an unspoken understanding in her words, an unspoken knowledge that Izuku was struggling with something—whether it be the weight of the exam results, his doubts, or something deeper.

Izuku, for a fleeting moment, wanted to reach out and explain everything to her, to pour out his fears and insecurities. But instead, he just shook his head, forcing a weak smile. "I... I'm not sure. It's hard to believe," he admitted, his words faltering as he glanced down at the letter in his hands. "I still feel like I failed."

Junæ didn't say anything at first, but her gaze softened even more, her golden eyes glowing with an almost ethereal warmth. Then, she finally spoke, her voice as calm as ever. "You'll see, Izuku. The answer is already there."

Izuku, still unsure of what she meant, glanced up at her just as his mother, with a knowing smile, stepped back into the room holding a letter in her hand. "Izuku," Inko began, her voice full of gentle excitement. "Your results have arrived."

Izuku's heart skipped a beat. His fingers trembled as he took the letter from his mother. He could barely bring himself to look at it, his mind still tangled in doubts, but he couldn't avoid the inevitable. Taking a deep breath, he tore open the envelope, unfolding the paper inside.

His eyes scanned the letter quickly, and then...

"I... I made it?" he muttered under his breath, his voice barely a whisper. His chest tightened, and his heart began to race as the reality of the situation settled in. The words on the paper were real. He had passed. He had made it into U.A. High School.

Junæ, who had been quietly watching, smiled faintly as she observed Izuku's reaction, her golden eyes flickering with something close to pride. She didn't say anything, but the look on her face spoke volumes.

Izuku's hands shook as he looked at the letter again, unsure if he was seeing things correctly. "I... I actually did it," he whispered, his voice cracking as relief washed over him like a wave. His eyes shone with disbelief and joy, and for the first time in a long time, hope bloomed in his chest.

Junæ stepped closer, her voice steady and reassuring. "I told you, Izuku. You just had to believe."
