The acceptance letter.
It had already been a week since the admission exam. The theoretical questions were easy, and the practical exam hadn't been difficult either. So the Kents were waiting for the possible acceptance letter. Of course, they knew Clark had done well, but you never know. Clark kept his anxious mind busy by doing his chores on the farm and reading many books. It's not exactly an easy task to keep a Kryptonian occupied for long. So Clark sought to make some innovations around the farm: a better irrigation system, improving the tractor engine, those little things. Since he wouldn't have much time to help on the farm once he entered the hero academy, he tried to make the remaining time he had worthwhile.
Clark was carrying large amounts of hay on his shoulders as he walked towards the barn to store them.
As Clark placed the hay inside the barn, he heard with his super hearing the sound of a car approaching his house, and it wasn't his parents' car. Looking through the wooden wall of the barn, Clark used his X-ray vision to see through the wood and spotted a black car parking in front of his house. Seeing this, Clark left the barn to investigate what it was all about.
As Clark approached the house, he saw a woman with black hair and dressed in formal attire stepping out of the car and walking towards the front entrance of his house.
"Can I help you?" Clark asked the woman who was about to knock on the front door.
"Ah yes, actually you can, I need to deliver some mail addressed to Clark Kent." The woman said as she turned to Clark.
"Well, you're in luck, it's me. But if you don't mind me saying, you don't look anything like a mailman," Clark said jokingly as he approached the woman.
"Great, then I think we can get started. My name is Hana Yamamoto and I'm here on orders from the U.A. Hero Academy. And I'm here to deliver this letter to you, since you live in a location far from the city, the school thought it appropriate to send someone from confidence to prevent important information from being leaked." The woman said as she pulled out a letter and handed it to Clark, who, when looking at the letter, could see the U.A. logo on the back.
"Alright, thank you, Miss Yamamoto," Clark respectfully said to the woman in front of him.
"No need to thank me, young man. It's just standard procedure for cases like yours. If you have any questions, you can contact us through our public number. Goodbye," the woman said, smiling at Clark as she turned to walk back to the car.
Watching the car drive away from the property, Clark went inside the house to open the letter with his parents.
"Who was that outside, dear?" Martha asked, sitting on the living room sofa as she saw her son come in.
"It was a woman from U.A. She came to bring me this letter," Clark said, smiling at his mother and showing her the letter in his hand.
"Oh my God! It must be the acceptance letter"! Martha said excitedly, jumping off the couch and running to her son.
"That's what it looks like." Clark said, smiling when he saw his mother's excitement.
" Let's wait for your father, he's upstairs taking a shower. " Martha said to her son, wanting everyone to be present to receive the news.
"You don't need to wait dear, I'm here. " Jonathan said, coming down the stairs with a towel around his neck.
"Alright then, it's now or never." Clark sighed nervously as his parents approached their son.
When opening the letter envelope, a small device fell onto the table where the Kents were close. And from that device a hologram appeared in front of them.
"Testing, 1.2..." Clark heard a familiar voice say through the hologram.
"I AM SHOWING UP"?! All Might said, now showing himself in the video with a yellow striped suit.
'All Might? What is he doing there? Will he be participating in U.A in some way this year? Clark thought confused when he saw the Hero.
"It took a while to sort some things out and finish this, so we weren't able to contact you sooner"! Said All Might as he bowed in apology.
"It looks like we'll be seeing a lot more of each other. It seems like it's been decided that I'll work at U.A, now that's it"! The hero explained, making Clark understand his appearance.
"Young Kent, we are happy to say that you managed to achieve unbelievable points, getting the maximum grade in the theory test and breaking the last record in the physical test that was previously held by me"! All Might said smiling.
"Not only that, but you also got a lot of secret save points by helping other candidates at risk, without even knowing that these actions were worth points"! The Hero continued, leaving Clark's parents with a pleasant surprise regarding their son.
" DO YOU THINK THE HEROISM DEPARTMENT WOULD DISCARD SUCH A PROMISING CANDIDATE WHO NOT ONLY SHOWS HIMSELF POWERFUL BUT DEMONSTRATES THE TRUE NATURE OF A HERO "?! All Might shouted, making Jonathan smile even more beside his son, and making Martha start to cry silently.
"YOU THINK IT'S CLICHE?! IT'S FINE WITH ME!! THAT'S IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION, RISKING YOUR LIFE TO DO CLICHE THINGS!! Said All Might with his bright smile.
" CLARK KENT: 359 POINTS " ! Shouted the hero.
"KENT MY BOY, WELCOME TO YOUR HERO SCHOOL"!! All Might finished shouting.
Clark, upon hearing this, couldn't help but jump and scream with joy along with his father, and Matha in turn was bursting into tears of happiness upon receiving the news and upon seeing the happiness of the two men she loved most.
