U.A acceptance Letter

Third-person POV

In the blink of an eye, a week passed by. During the week Ichigo reevaluated Shinso's martial arts and found that while it was minimal he still improved and practised daily without fault. While Shinso hadn't chosen a martial art for himself, even though Ichigo wanted to suggest Eraserhead's style he decided to let Shinso decide for himself.

He also found out from Izuku that while he scored 52 points in the practical, he still damaged his arms and legs while fighting the Zero pointer while using 100% one for all. He also found out that Izuku had improved enough to be using Full cowling at 12% without damaging his body. After subsiding his fears about failing due to attacking the Zero pointer he and Izuku discussed their experiences in the entrance exam.

Today finally his and Shinso's UA letter came in the mail. After discussing it we decided to open mine first. As I sat in front of a table sitting beside me was Shinso, standing behind us were Sister Lily and the kids.

"I am here as a projection." declared All Might which surprised everyone except Ichigo.

"Wah! Sister Lily, it's All Might, so cool" said one guy

"I wonder why it is All-might in the UA letter?" asked Mimoru, but before she could talk further, All Might continued.

"Haha, you might be wondering why I am in a letter from the U.A!, That is because I will be teaching at U.A from now on."

"Wah! So cool, Nii-chan will be taught by All might"

"I am so jealous!!"

Sister Lily stopped the kids before they began a cacophony.

"Ichigo-Shonen I am now going to give you your results. For the written portion of the exam you have scored a perfect 100, it was very impressive Ichigo-Shonen, you achieved a perfect score with two other examinees. (A.N: In case it isn't clear, I am talking about Midoriya and Katsuki)

But that alone doesn't guarantee your entrance! As for the practical exam, you scored 70 points until you decided to face the Zero pointer. You were warned that doing so would result in losing 75% of your current points, making your points docked up to 18 points. With such value, I am afraid your entry into U.A High's Hero course would be denied....."

Immediately, as All Might said, Sister Lily gave Ichigo's shoulder a comforting squeeze and Shinso balled his fist in frustration, and the kids looked sad.

"....If it wasn't that you were all tricked into thinking that! If you recall present mic said that you 'can' lose up to 75% of your points this was done to test your spirit as a hero and to face the odds! There was no penalty for facing the giant Zero pointer at all, the villain was worth zero points nothing more, nothing less. That means your villain points will stay at 70 points! Which is easily more than enough to get in! But wait, there's more to it than that!..."

Sister Lily's eyes were watering with happy tears and the kids started jumping around in happiness. All might quickly point to another television show and say

"Let's watch this video", then it was quickly turned into a montage video of all those he saved giving up their points because they saw Ichigo fighting the Zero pointer. It honestly made being a hero a genuine satisfaction for Ichigo.

"Though while you have a powerful quirk, it is your actions that touched others, your noble and selfless act has deeply touched their hearts and spurred them into action!

Indeed a person with your heart is very rare, never forget your heart. Also, this exam was not solely based on villain points!

How can a Hero reject someone who saves and does the right thing? Call it lip service, call it cheesy? Think all you want, in this job risking one's life to put those things into practice, is needed and so there are rescue points! It was given to me by a panel of judges, 7 in total! It's the basic ability we look at here!

Ichigo Kurosaki Villain Points: 70 Rescue Points: 70. Don't think the judges didn't react to your performance before the zero pointers, they were quite impressed with your aid given to your fellow participants! The zero pointer just solidified their judgement about you.

For the first time since U.A. opened, you are one of the only people to get full rescue points! Not only that, but you shattered the previous highest record by 40, which was mine by the way.

Come Ichigo-shonen. This is the beginning of hero journeys. Plus Ultra, you certainly showed everyone just what you are made of, and Plus Ultra! This is your academia"

Shinso got a speech in a similar tone, but from Nezu, he also got accepted. Along with the project device, in the letter came his student ID card and a list of documents that need to be submitted to school along with a waiver and required items they were supposed to buy like textbooks, uniforms, Sports costume, etc.

Luckily both Ichigo and Shinso got into 1-A but the class strength was still 20 so Mineta was probably kicked out of 1-A meh. But there was also a ranking list along with the letter, giving the top 10 rankings :

Rank Name Villain Pts Rescue Pts Total Pts

1. Ichigo Kurosaki 70 70 140

2. Izuku Midoriya 52 60 112

3. Katsuki Bakugo 77 00 77

4. Hitoshi Shinso 31 45 76

5. Ochaco Uraraka 28 45 73

6. Ibara Shiozaki 36 32 68

7. Itsuka Kendo 25 40 65

8. Tenya Iida 52 09 61

9. Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu 49 10 59

10. Fumikage Tokoyami 47 10 57

"I am so proud of you two, I am so happy," said Sister Lily with tears.

"Ichigo nii-san, Hitoshi nii-san just you wait I will also join U.A"

"Oh, you also want to join U.A little Tanuki, I don't think U.A allows Tanuki into school."

"Ichigo-Niisan, how many times do I have to say my name is Tanaka, not Tanuki, just because I have some Tanuki features does not make me a tanuki," Tanaka said with a huff and a pout.

"Wait for a second, Do you mean to say that you were a human with tanuki-like features but not a tanuki with human-like features instead. I can't believe it, there must be some kind of a mistake right?" said Ichigo with a fake surprised expression.

Tanaka got all red in his face and then turned to Sister Lily "Sister see Ichigo-nii is bullying me right in front of you"

"Don't worry Tanuki-kun Ichigo is just teasing you."

"Aw! Not you too sister," said Tanaka while hiding his face in his hands.

Then there was laughter, Ichigo then proceeded to call a catering company and set up a huge dinner buffet party in the orphanage for the night. Then with the permission of Sister Lily, he set up a projector in a room to show the kids a movie. While in the movie Ichigo observed that Shinso was dazedly looking into space not watching the movie, he thought he was not interested and left it at that.

At the dinner, as everyone was celebrating and making a mess, Ichigo again saw Shinso sitting in a corner looking into his glass of juice seemingly thinking about something.

"Hey What's wrong, Why are you so dull?"

"*Sigh* I am kind of scared and also am feeling a little guilty but also a little ashamed."

"Woah, that is a complex set of emotions let's unravel them shall we."

"I feel ashamed and guilty, cause I feel like I cheated on the exam with you telling me about the rescue points. I feel scared because I feel that I am not a hero material"

"*Sigh* Shinso What happened has already happened, there is nothing you can do about it." But I am going to tell you something that you will try to deny but I will say it anyway. Shinso you would have passed the exam into the hero course either way.

Your quirk is already powerful enough that it would be a must-have tool in the Villain negotiations. The only problem you would have faced being a hero would be that your physical statistics weren't high enough. But with my training for the last 6 years, you already have a very highly conditioned body, but also know enough martial arts that you could open a dojo.

The only thing you could improve upon it would be finding a personal martial style. If I hadn't told you about the rescue points maybe you would have gone forward to defeat more robots and gain points without wasting time on a rescue.

So the only thing that changed from me telling you about the rescue points was the ranking. Not the decision to get into the Hero course and you know what I say about Rankings."

"*Sigh* It is easy to get to rank but it is difficult to stay in that rank."

"That's right, so right now your focus should be to enjoy and then start training again so that you won't go down further down into the ranking."

"Sorry, Ichigo I spoiled the party mood for you"

"Eh, it's no biggie, now go back into the party and enjoy"

As Ichigo sat there and saw everyone in his orphanage enjoy, he wondered if he had been a positive influence on these people. Even though he said that the reason he was helping everybody was to gain good karma, it was also kinda incredibly self satisfactory seeing your help improving someone's life.

As Ichigo sat meditating on that fact, he found himself getting addicted to the respect everyone gave him when he helped someone. Maybe this was the reason people said Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It was incredibly addicting, it was so addicting that Ichigo found that upon thinking that if he himself found this problem later in his life he wasn't sure that in the future he would be able to give up this feeling and power over others.

For now, all he can do is stay mindful of himself so that he won't cross the line into the dangerous territory of manipulation. He unknowingly went into Greater good territory, just thinking about it gave Ichigo the shivers.

*Sigh* Ichigo took out his phone and said "Hey Alice, connect to Asato-nii"

"Hello Kurosaki-san, How may I help you?"

"I was just calling to tell you that I would be spending the night at the orphanage so you don't need to come to pick me up today"

"Of course, Kurosaki-san anything else?"

"Just one more thing, please call me Ichigo"

*Beep**Beep**Beep*

'Hmph, Rude'.
