Power Quaking - Chapter 4.1 (Patreon)

"And done."

Ochako released a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat that had gathered on her forehead from her brow, "That was exhausting." she huffed, running her hands through her hair and grimacing when she felt how soaked it was from her sweat.

She had just finished finally unpacking her things and arranging everything in her new home away from home. Before, she hadn't been sure she would get into U.A, so she'd stayed here a few days leading up to the exam.

But it had been two weeks now since the exam, and just last week she'd got a letter in the mail when she was back home with her folks, announcing to her that she had passed.

Not only had she passed, she'd done amazing!

Ranked fourth overall out of multiple hundred applicants and out of only forty two that had passed.

She almost couldn't believe it. Going into the exam, even with the advice she'd gotten from Kano and made a plan in advance, she was nervous and thought even if she did pass, odds were she'd have been one of the lowest scoring.

But no, instead she was one of the highest!

She'd been so happy when the cute form of Principal Nezu revealed her acceptance at 'her hero academia' she'd burst into tears, and her mom had taken a picture of her while she did!

'Though Kano-kun completely blew my score out of the water.' she mused. She was pretty close to third place, Izuku Midoriya, who she thought might have been the timid boy with the green hair and plain face that saved her and absolutely blew away the zero pointer!

He had those same lovely green eyes as Kano, and it made sense that Kano's brother would have such a crazy powerful quirk just like him!

She still felt a little guilty about that. If he hadn't rushed to save her and ended up hurting himself really badly with his quirk to save her, he would have been able to score even higher, he might even have been able to take second place from that Bakugou fellow who was second place.

They were probably aiming to get first and second place as brothers, yeah? It would have been a really amazing accomplishment as family, right?

'Third place isn't bad though.' she contented herself with that. And it wasn't like he could have gotten first either anyway, not with Kano-kun at the top. He didn't just blow her out of the water, he blew everyone out of the water, even the guy in second place didn't come close to his score.

"I wonder what that guy is up to right now?" Ochako wondered idly as she sat on down on her bed. He was pretty intense about chasing that hero route from what he told her.

From his personal image, to working tons of part time jobs growing up and now getting his name out there, making money and creating a fan base in advance on Wetube.

Her eyes drifted over to the corner of her bedroom where a rather old chunky screened computer sat. They only had one computer at home, and this wasn't it. But her dad had given her one of the computers they weren't using at his parents construction company office.

It was nothing at all like the kind of computers her friends had, and wasn't even a match for the school computers she used back in middle school. But, she wasn't going to complain.

It might have been slow and laggy, and prone to freezing and crashing, but it still got the job done!

"I wonder if I can find his wetube account?" she wondered, bouncing up off of her bed and making her way over to the old computer to boot it up.

It took a few minutes before she desktop loaded up on the computer, and then she brought up the internet browser and went to the wetube website.

There was an app for it, she'd heard. But, she only had an old cheap flip phone that couldn't even download apps or anything like that, so there wasn't anything she could do there.

"Right, what did he call it again?" Ochako mused, poking the bottom of her chin in thought.

Imperial…something?

She'd been a bit too taken aback at the time when she learned the kind of money he was making from it, so she couldn't remember fully what his account or whatever on wetube was called.

'I'll just add some words that fit what he's doing on top I guess?' she shrugged, before doing just that and typing 'Imperial hero training' into the search bar.

To her surprise, she got it on he first try. The first thing at the top of the list was a wetube channel icon, which was a picture of Kano dressed in a sleevless hoodie showing off his muscular arms, with his fist held up and a familiar pretty white bubble formed around his fist, a grin on his face.

And was that lightning flashing in the background of the picture?

She blinked again as she saw the subscriber total listed beneath the icon, alongside the name of his channel - Imperial69.

@Imperial69•826K subscribers

"Jeez!" Ochako's eyes flew wide open in shock. Over eight hundred thousand subscribers to his channel? He already had over eight hundred thousand fans following him!?

That was crazy!

It was no wonder he was making so much money if he had that many subscribers! Kano really was thinking far ahead for when he became a hero! She wished she had that kind of go getter ability!

She clicked on his channel and entered it and was surprised to find, he was apparently live streaming right this moment! the video had a thumbnail of Kano himself in just a pair of shorts posing on a beach with a big cheesy grin and thumbs up directed at the camera.

She wanted to click on it and see what he was doing, but first, there was something else she wanted to check.

From what she remembered, Kano told her he was going to be recording his entrance exam.

She knew he aced it, and got the best score of all. But she really wanted to see the kind of thing the top scoring student was capable of.

"Huh." she tilted he head when she saw the videos. She found the one she was looking for.

After scrolling down slightly.

It seemed, since two weeks ago Kano had been posting at least one or two videos a day? Actually in total, it claimed he had over a thousand videos uploaded on his channel.

That was kind of crazy right there as well. Most seemed to range from between two hundred thousand views to four hundred thousand here and there. But there were a few outliers that rose above that, reaching the six hundred and even seven hundred thousand views.

Wetube creators made money based on how much views they got right? She wondered how much they got per view?

The views on the videos from the last two weeks though, were all above five hundred thousand, even one just uploaded last night had that amount! Though, there was one massive outlier, that had over three million views!

[Imperial69 vs The U.A Hero Course Entrance Exam!]

The video started off with Kano talking to the camera, while in a bedroom, most likely his own. It shouldn't have been all that interesting, but Ochako had never actually seen the bedroom of a boy her age that she knew.

The walls were painted a deep dark crimson red, and she could see lights of some sort running across the ridges between the walls and ceiling, though they weren't lit. There was a walk in closet to the side of the room that was painted black, to match the rather large bed in the middle of the room that seemed a bit bigger than a double size, so maybe it was a queen or king size? It was clad in deep black satin looking sheets And the bed frame itself was a pitch black metal. At one side of the room, she could see a rack filled with weights attached to the wall, made of pitch black metal, while the weights themselves were primarily black with red trim. And at the other side of the room she could see a very expensive looking computer set up, the processor was see through at the front like a window and was lighting up like a rainbow in the middle, while atop his desk he had, not one, not two, not even three-

But four expensive looking flat screen monitors hanging from a brace on the wall of some sort.

There was probably a lot more to the room, but that was all she could see from the camera angle she was looking into. To Ochako though, if she didn't know better from what Kano told her, she'd assume he came from a pretty darn rich family!

As it was though, Kano spoke to the camera for only a tiny period of time, before a transitioned appeared to show a birds eye view of a massive entrance gate into a city just like the one she took her exam in.

And her eyes promptly widened as the the gates opened and Kano stepped forward and punched out with his fist.

And broke the city.

Well, not the whole city. And it wasn't a real city either. But the city block Kano demolished with a single punch, was the same size as any other tightly packed Japanese street block.

It was crazy. She'd only ever seen destruction like that in videos with All Might going all out! And even then she'd never seen him level a city block with a punch.

Granted, it wasn't totally just a punch and kano letting loose a massive shock wave thing from his fist that expanded to a massive size and swept over the city block and tore it apart, but semantics!

It was crazy!

And while he toned it down from there, since all the other examinees were then inside the testing area after that, it was still no less crazy how casually he tore apart the villain bots. Even without his quirk he crumpled them with casual punches, and tossed them around like they were pillows.

She frowned as flirted with the invisible girl, only to forget all about that just a few moments later when the zero pointer appeared.

And Kano demolished it as if it were nothing.

It was so casual, so seamless, that she idly wondered why he even needed to go to hero school when he looked like he was superior to most of the pros she'd seen in action, at least as far as combat went.

"No wonder that got so many views." Ochako shook her head with a snort, that was just absurd to watch.

Hopefully she never had to spar with Kano when they started U.A in two weeks, he might accidentally squash her with a casual punch!

Shaking her head, Ochako clicked off of the video and finally went to check out the live stream Kano had going on.

"-seriously hella different from the last time I was here," Kano was walking along a beach, arms clasped behind his head as he spoke, a pair of sunglasses over his eyes, "I swear just a year ago the toxic fumes coming off of this place was literally visible, coming out in puke green and ruddy brown waves."

Cool but where's Camie?

Do you know who done it? Was it a hero? It's manly as all hell dude!

You kidding? As if a hero should be wasting their time with stuff like that! They're too cool for that!

You're on a beach, why isn't Camie there as well? I wanna see her in a bikini!

Brosephlyfe donated 2500¥: Hey Kano, just wanna save I've been following you for ages, you're totally amazing! I got into working out and taking care of myself through some of your tutorials on getting fit and it really helped me out of a bad place I was in. Just ignore these overly horny idiots, you don't need tell them why Camie hasn't been popping up in your videos lately.

Who cares about the bimbo, I just wanna see Kano punch the shit out of shit! Kano destroy the ocean with a punch like you did on your test! Let loose again that was freaking awesome!

Fuck you broseph, Camie's tits are love and life! I would kill you for her if she let me motorboat her!

Dude, you're disgusting, get a life.

Yeah bro that ain't manly at all, Camie's cool and all and manly as heck, but this channel is about Kano not her. I'm more interested in Kano showing us some sick moves or his work outs!

Ochako winced reading over the comments. A lot of them were very supporting, but quite a few different people kept spamming asking about some girl called Camie.

And that one guy even donated money to him because he was a fan? That donation alone was enough to get like three or four bags of mochi!
