Apocalypse Chapter 21 (Patreon)

Thanks to my patron's help, I was able to be inserted into UA's hero course without issue with one exception. We needed to actually do the initiation test with all the other students and it was going to be Hina, Seako and myself attending as students while Yuriko was working as a nurse with her using Aura and Chakra-based healing to help students with minor issues heal.

Aurora still being a human pet basically however was going to be staying in the hub bunker which would be put into stasis so she wouldn't be left alone, for her we would be gone for not even a second.

Once everything was setup, with but a tiny flicker of light in our vision, we were teleported from the hub bunker directly in front of U.A. High School which was to become our home in the coming future as this version of Yuuei was at the get-go, a boarding school due to the power creep the students quickly gained while training to be a hero.

"Alright, Hina, Seako, feel free to display your abilities in Aura and Chakra freely... In the face of people punching tornados into existence and becoming black holes, we don't need to hide anything, just say I am a power granter or something." I explained and the two nodded while Yuriko elegantly rose an eyebrow.

"Oh, and when they question why I a woman old enough to be your mother have the same powers as the girls you will inevitably be showing affection too in public?" She questioned and I couldn't help a proud smile.

As I responded shamelessly. "Then let the tongues wag... Japan is the most degenerate nation after all with the age of consent being literally thirteen."

Yuriko was a rather nationalistic woman proud of her Japanese heritage and I knew I hit a sore spot as her eyes tightened on my form as she chewed on her rebuttal before huffing as she had no answer as it was the literal law.

"Well let's get going. We need to make sure no one kills anyone else." Hina said brightly and my lips twitched at the reminder of the combat test coming up that would have overly anxious teenagers fighting robots and some students if their powers were boosted or changed could be highly dangerous.

Seako, Hina and myself went into the student venue of the school while Yuriko went into the staff side of things to report to the nurses office which was probably going to be testing her abilities and making sure she could be ready to heal the inevitable hurt students after the combat test.

As we started the actual test which was easy enough due to my sponsor being so kind as to leave the literal test for us to study for in the bunker for the last view days, but as we got to the essay parts I paused at the addition that wasn't in the packets my sponsor left.

[In the case of a rogue Quirk User, going through an Awakening and with multiple confirmed fatalities, what would you do in that situation if you couldn't properly detain the Quirk User who had lost control with the Awakening?]

It was a whole page of questions that were clearly a psychological exam that was shaped to be a standard hero mini-essay list. And the list made me idly smile as I realized this test would paint Mr. ExploderMurderDeathKill as a true sociopath.

I looked up from my exam paper and I saw a few of the UA students that would normally become the Class 1A and main cast but here in the testing room there were a lot of people I didn't recognize as well as some people I did recognize like Camie Utsushimi the illusion using girl who went to a different hero school in canon.

'Was she here to try to get into UA? Or does she actually want to attend that other school and was just trying her best to cover all her bases?' I wondered before shaking my head as I looked back down to my paper to finish off all my work.

"Alright, kids times up!" A random secretary called out a few minutes later and the teenagers grumbled as they handed their packets forward to the front of the large amphitheater to turn in their test while the secretary continue speaking through a microphone.

"Now, all Hero course students must head to the southern wing of the school's amphitheater to receive instructions on the combat test for the last half of UA's entry exam!" She said with some excitement and the students cheered in unison at being able to blow up some robots as was well known after the years of UA being around.

I then linked up with Saeko and Hina as we entered the last amphitheater after getting changed into UA sports outfits that actually were a lot more durable and comfortable than I expected. But regardless after a couple of minutes the Pro-Hero, Present Mic took to the stage. He was a blond-haired man with his hair done in an extravagant hair-due with his hair standing stiffly on his head.

But beyond that, I noticed how before he spoke, he turned a couple buttons on his headset before his still extremely loud voice came to us without even using a microphone or anything loud and clear without being distorted by all the other whispers going on.

"Alright kiddies, you got five, technically six tiers of robots, you need to have at least a hundred points to pass and enter any of the Hero courses classes." Present Mic began to explain and I paid attention with my eyebrows rising as there was already some notable differences.

"So tier one robots, are worth a single point and are not much more dangerous than a normal quirkless person with a baseball bat, the tier two are worth five points and are outfitted with stronger metal and motors along with some guns which will shoot subsonic soft rubber balls... Which will still hurt beyond belief even in those Kevlar outfits." He explained then went on.

How tier three were low-tier villains with a taste for killing and would be actually dangerous and would be using .22 rounds aimed at our joints and lower body along with using high-pressure release melee weapons that could hit with the force of a speeding vehicle.

Tier four were machines using heavy weaponry and even some Support Gear quality side weapons that could legitimately put you into the hospital for weeks and should they take you down in such a way, even if you passed the exam. Being absent for so long would see you need to either repeat the year or literally drop out of the school altogether.

Tier Five were Quirk based machines controlled by a staff member with a nanomachine control Quirk that would be hunting students and would break our legs and arms to take us out of the test as a representative of the villains who deliberately hunted down and slaughtered hero's. The Tier Five's were also worth a hundred and fifty points and Present Mic bluntly told us that we needed to work together to take one of them down which would split up the points between the teams.

"And now tier six. Its going to be a Kaiju-sized thirty-meter tall machine. You gain zero points for destroying it, It is meant to be one thing and one thing only, its a representative of Mutation/Heteromorhp Quirks going through Awakening and becoming an uncontrollable monster. You can and may put it out of its misery at your own discretion but remember..." Present Mic spoke deadly seriously as he tried to make eye contact with everyone.

"Not everyone can be saved or stopped... Go beyond your limits, but accept the inevitable! Plus Ultra!" He cheered and I realized the difference in this world as we made our way to the combat test.

All-Might couldn't save everyone. There was an undeniable fact that things were beyond the pale with the powerful Quirks around.

"Deku get the fuck out of the way with those fat udders you fucking waste of air!" A voice screeched and I looked over a good couple dozen meters and saw a real divergence in the time lime.

'Huh... Big titty female Midoriya.' I thought blinking in surprise at that fucking difference and I could all but hear my patron laughing at my mental process.
