Chapter 5

Hajime felt time around him slow down almost to a complete stop. Allowing him to take in everything that had happened. The first thing he noticed right away was the titan sized villain bot was no longer a threat to him or anyone else. The bot laid destroyed on the ground with many of it's wires showing and it's armor either missing or cracked. Hajime then looked over to the position his arms were still in.

His eyes widen seeing a few of his pale colored fingers were now severely burned. Strangely the pain didn't catch up to his nerves system yet, which was a good sign. Only problem Hajime had to face now was the heavy wind attacking his face along with gravity forcing it's weight down on his back and legs. He was forced into a star like pose diving straight down towards the concrete ground.

Hajime tried to scream out but the high range of altitude muted any noises or words that tried to come out of his mouth. His eyes then twitched in pain and he clentched his teeth as the pain from his wounded fingertips finally came surguing back to him. Hajime had to bear the pain from his fingertips as he moved his other uninjured arm towards the ground. His mind was racing but he knew his only chance of living was to fire off another one of those energy blast. He prayed the shock waves from the blast would push him into a abandoned building.

Before he could find a perfect aming spot to fire off. He was suddenly grabbed out of midair by Akane in her muscular form. They both landed on the sides of a abandoned building as Akane then slowed them down by sliding down the walls. She then backflipped off the collapsing walls and spun, landing them into a mountain size pile of broken Villian bots.

"St-Stupid Idiot! Were you trying to get yourself killed!" Akane managed to bark at him. She was exhausted shown by her muscles shrinking down at a fast rate.

Hajime couldn't find the words to respond due to his mind being on overdrive. He had just faced his second life threating event and it was overwheaming for him. He gasped feeling the weight of the pile shift causing him to slide down to the bottom as someone was waiting for him.

"Hey?... Can you hear me?"

Hajime had a hard time making out the silhouette as he was underneath the sun's glare.

"Are you ok?...You seem pretty out of it" the voice sounded very familiar to Hajime..

"To be honest, I'm also... No, everyone else feels the same too. Since we suddenly... got put in this weird situation" There was no mistake, it was Nagito Komaeda as Hajime finally saw his face looking down at him. He tried to move his body since his mouth was too dry to form any hearable words.

"...Hey are you listening?" Nagito asked him again concerned.

"I don't understand... What am I doing here laying on the ground?' Hajime thought. 'I need...to get up!' Hajime thought still ordering his muscles to move. 'The exam is going to be over... and I still have no points!' he shouted inside his mind.

Hajime then reached his body's limit as his vision started to fade and Nagito's face got blurry. Hajime's consciousness felt light and having no strength left to fight back the slow descending eyes.

He blacked out.

Kazuo Tengan and Koichi Kizakura watched as the timer on the monitors hit the 00:00 time mark as it flashed red. One of teachers watching the timer then pressed a buttons on their keyboards allowing the alarm to ring out to all the examiness that the entrance exam was over.

"That's the end of this year entrance exam. We have a lot of talented students this year" Kizakura said as he then pulled out a flask holding it in his right hand.

"Do you mind? I haven't had a drink at all today" Kizakura asked slightly embarrassed and held out the flask to let Tengan see.

Tengan nodded "Drink to your heart contain Koichi! This should be a celebration after all" Tengan replied smiling.

Kizakura's own smile was on his face "Cheers, Headmaster" he said before taking a large sip from the small bottle.

"I am curious about that strong blast Mr. Hinata performed on that villain bot. It would be disappointing not to see what else he could do with that talent" Tegan said.

Kizakura removed the bottle from his lips. "Still rules are rules and the bare minimum of points to pass is at least 60 or higher. Unless you want to make one last exception as the Headmaster of Hope's Peak?" He asked him.

The retired headmaster then shook his head and grabbed his cane from the side of the couch.

"I'm afraid I already handed over all my authority to the new headmaster" Tengan replied. "Still it's up to the judges whenever he passed or not" he said before turning his head to look at Kizakura. "You did explain this exam clearly right?" Tengan asked pushing back up his glasses.

Kizakura remained quiet before taking another sip from his flask.

"I see...I'll take my leave now" Tengan said getting up from the couch.

"I got you Tengan" Kizakura offered his help. Tengan refused as he was able to get his balance by holding firmly onto his cane.

"I'm fine but now I'll be off, although if you need a drinking partner in the future then I'll be happy join you" Tengan said smiling as he waved goodbye to Kizakura.

Kizakura watched as Tengan left before trading the flask off to his left hand.

"So old man... even after retiring you still don't want to let go of your dreams" Kizakura whispered looking over to his right hand. "This school year will be a interesting one for sure" he told himself as the words slowly etched onto his right palm.

Hajime Hinata

Talent:..Ultimate Hope

Hajime eyes slowly lifted up as his vision started to return. He was staring at the ceiling above him which looked pretty ordinary to say the least with it's white colors. Turning to his left side, he saw a closed blue colored curtain next to him. It was protecting him from the sunlight which seemed dim now. He then looked down to see he was laying on a bed with blankets covering him. His attention was then pulled towards a female voice softly humming to herself on his right side.

He turned his head to the source of the voice. There was a teenager girl wearing a nurse's uniform on top of the counter looking for something in the upper tops shelfs. She had long dark purple hair but it was choppy and cut unevenly.

"Excuse me.." Hajime said but his words came out louder than he though making the girl jump out of surprise.

"AHH!" she squealed out as the shock resulting in her losing her balance from the counter.

Hajime felt sorry as he helplessly watch the nurse fall to the ground with a loud THUD noise. "S-sorry about that, I didn't mean to scare you" he tried to apologized.

Suddenly the nurse quickly bounced back up before she got back down to the ground facing Hajime. She started bowing fast repeatly in front of Hajime like he was royalty.

"I..I'm sooooooo sorrrrrry! I totally embrassed myself didn't I! Pl..Please don't hate meeeeee!" she pleaded with her voice cracking to that of a sob.

"Hey, It's alright! It's mine fault anyways" Hajime said trying to claim her down. She stopped bowing and looked up at him before gently rubbing the small tears from her eyes.

"Are you sure? I... I won't hold it against you if it re...really is my fault" She replied letting out a few hiccups.

"I swear" Hajime replied feeling a sense of relief to see the nurse had finally calm down. "Here I'll help you up" Hajime said holding out his right hand but then froze at the sight of fingers.

"What the hell is this?!" Hajime shouted looking down to see his index and middle fingers were wrapped in some kind of bandage made entirely out of hair.

"AHHH! I'm so..sorry that's my hair" Mikan replied gripping at her hair.

"Your hair?" Hajime asked confused and a bit freaked out.

"Ahhh! I..I mean... It's my apart of my talent" Mikan cried slowly still gripping her long hair. "You see...If I cut off some of my hair and wrap it around a injured part of the body then it will heal at a much faster rate" she explained while trying not to sob again.

"Your Talent? Oh! That must mean you're a Ultimate!" Hajime realized looking at the poor nurse as she nodded. "Oh then that explains it...Kinda" Hajime added.

'..."

"…"

"Well... What's your name?" Hajime asked her after a moment of akward silence.

"M..Me? You want to know Wh...Who I am?" The nurse asked him sounding afraid.

"Yeah" Hajime replied to her before extending his left hand out to her.

"I'm Hajime Hinata" he introduced himself.

"I...I'm Mikan Tsumki, the Ultimate Nurse" she replied back blushing with a small smile on her face as she took his hand.

"Ultimate Nurse? That seems like a great talent to have. I bet you're able to help a lot of people" Hajime said helping her off the floor.

She then quickly released his hand and stepped away from him. "UH? You..what did you say?" Mikan asked sounding more frighten.

"I said you had a great talent" Hajime repeated now being concered about why Mikan was acting scared.

"I see..." Mikan replied as her eyes didn't met his but he could see she was still looking nervious. "Well now that you're Aw...Awake you can go home if you like" she said.

It was then Hajime froze before turned around and opening up the curtains. The sky was twilight and the roads below were packed with rush hour traffic making Hajime accept the harsh truth.

'I failed the exam' he thought.

He felt like collapsing right now as all the training he endured for the past months were all wasted. He couldn't bare to imagine the disappointment he brought onto Shining Hope.

"Hajime... are you ok?" Mikan asked him.

Hajime gritted his teeth trying to hide his fragile face and got out of the bed. "Thank you for healing me but I'll be off now" Hajime told her.

"Your welcome and don't worry about paying any type of bill either!" Mikan said. "An..And wait till about another 2 hours before taking off my hair from your fingers" she added as Hajime then left the nurse's office.

For the past week, Hajime had barely left the covers of his bed. The only occasion he had to leave it was to use the bathroom and grab food. He was glad that his parent's were always exhausted once they arrive home from work and just go to sleep. Now he wouldn't need to hear their concerns over him being in his room 24/7. The lights were off and Hajime just laid on his bed with headphones on.

He didn't care for the music playing as his mind kept winding back to the entrance exam. He then laid over onto his side and closed his eyes. 'Why hasn't Shining Hope contacted me yet? He must want me to return his talent back to him' Hajime thought. Maybe he wanted to met in secret in order to avoid suspension from his parents? Hajime then took a deep breath before rolling onto his other side. 'Shining Hope! I don't know what you saw in me. I'm sorry but...I did what I knew I had to do. I couldn't just sit there and watch Chiaki-"

A loud hard knock came out of his door dragging him back to reality. Hajime took off his headphones off and walked over to his door as the knocking increased to the point he thought the door would bust down.

"I'm coming!" Hajime shouted as he turned the doorknob and opened it.

"Haj-Hajime! You go..got a letter!" His mother told him as her face clearly showed she was exhausted but she looked more alerted too. She then held out the letter to him and Hajime took it.

Hajime glanced down at the letter before letting out a gasp as he looked back up at his mother.

"How?"

"I don't know sweetie" His mother replied with a small smile.

Hajime was speechless as he opened up the envelope. Inside it was a letter and a small projector.

"I'm sorry Mom but can you give me a moment alone?" Hajime asked her. She nodded and slowly walked away as Hajime slammed his down shut. He nearly tripped over himself as he set the opened envelope onto his bed. Hajime's hand slowly difted to the letter but he then forced himself to pick up the small round projector first. He flipped on a switch on the side as a light came out of the projector to reveal a hologram screen.

"Hello? Is this thing on? Can you hear me?" Makoto's voice was heard from the screen before it showed him in his hero form.

"Shining Hope?!" Hajime shouted before covering his mouth.

"Alright! I think it's recording" Makoto said before cleared his throat. "It's been a while Hajime! There's so much to deliberate on since we last met" he said.

"Wait! It's a video message" Hajime said.

"You see Hajime, I forgot to tell you this but there's another reason why I came back to this city and that's because I'm Hope's Peak Academy new Headmaster" Makoto said.

"New? Headmaster?" Hajime questioned not sure how to process this all at once.

Makoto then let out a small laugh. "I'm sure you're pretty shocked right now but I need you stay focus because I received the results of your entrance exam" Makoto said as he held up a sheet of paper. Hajime froze as he realized this was it.

"Ofcourse there was no written portion so you passed that however, you got zero points on the practical which resulted in your exam being marked as failed" Makoto told him.

It was then Hajime's knees dropped to the ground. 'I'm pathetic!' Hajime thought lowering his head down too.

"-Is what I would be saying if that was true but it's quite the opposite" Makoto then spoke out. "Please keep your eyes on the screen!" Makoto said as the screen then changed to show Chiaki standing outside the office's door.

'Chiaki?' Hajime thought looking back up at the hologram.

"Um, Excuse me... I have a question about the entrance exam" Chiaki said to the teachers in the office.

"Yes? How may we help you?" One of the teachers replied to her.

"Well how do I point it?" Chiaki pondered tapping her chin with her finger. "I was wondering if there was a way to transfer all of my points to Hajime Hinata?" she asked.

"All of your points?! You do realize you will be giving up your postion to attend Hope's Peak Academy by doing this" One of the teacher's replied.

"I know and I'm ok with that" Chiaki said to them. "Hajime only failed the game because I was in trouble and if he didn't save me then I wouldn't have a spot in Hope's Peak to begin with. Also just because I don't attend Hope's Peak that doesn't mean he shouldn't either! I know being a Hero means a lot to him so please! Let Hajime take my points and have him take my place to attend Hope's Peak!" Chiaki shouted as she bowed to them.

"Chiaki!" Hajime said with his eyes widing.

"You may have acquired a talent but it seems you moved others with your own actions without it" Makoto said.

"Hajime's dream... is wanting to become a hero!" Chiaki said again making Hajime move closer to the screen.

One of the teacher's then approached Chiaki. "I'm taken back by the kindness for your friend but I'm afraid we aren't allow to give him your points...However, we can't call ourselves the school for future heroes if we reject the heroic actions of one such as your friend" the teacher said to her.

The screen then switch back to Makoto at his desk. He was grinning as he stared right at Hajime through the screen. "You see Hajime, this entrance exam wasn't just based off of Villain based points" Makoto said. "If you remember Mr. Kizakura words during the explanitaion of the exam. You may have heard him say "Don't forget to be heroic at the same time too" he quoted.

"It was a hidden factor that only the both of you and Ms. Owrai managed to accomplished during the entrance exam. In this type of job, you put your life on the line!" Makoto said before he stood up from his desk. "It's mine and the rest of the staff at Hope's Peak Academy honor to present you! Hajime Hinata with a total of 60 rescue points which puts you at the bare minimum of points for passing the entrance exam. So it's my pleasure as the Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy to announce that Hajime Hinata has been accepted into Hope's Peak Academy."

Hajime was speechless at what he just heard from Shining Hope. He passed? He was going to be attending the real Hope's Peak?. To confirm his own disbelief his hand then went back to the letter and opened soon came flooding out as he held the letter to his chest. Everything he and Shining Hope worked towards was now here in his hands.

Hajime then let out a laugh of joy as it seemed the cloudy sky he was always used to seeing whenever he looked up. Had now been cleared away and replacing it was a clear blue sky.

"I never imagine that the wall standing before me was now in debris. I was really going to attend the real Hope's Peak Academy and fulfill Makoto's wishes of becoming the next symbol of hope. Still, nothing during that night filled with hope could've warned me of the "Despair" I would soon encounter at that school" Hajime narrated.
