Boku no Hero Academia: Izuku's Harem Academia

Disclaimer: This is a mature-rated fanfiction story of Boku no Hero Academia that I am writing for erotic fun. Needless to say, this story is AU, the characters may seem OOC to some and there will be smutty lemons. Also, I own nothing of the series other than the fanfiction stories that I make.

Chapter 20: Provisional Hero Licence Exam

It was finally time for the students of Class 1A and Class 1B from U.A. High School to take the provisional hero licence exam. The two classes were sent to separate locations so Izuku made sure to wish the girls of Class 1B good luck before they left to take their exam. Himiko, who was still not allowed to leave the school premises, and Mei and Melissa, who were from the support department, made sure to wish everyone who was taking the exam good luck. Of course, Himiko, Mei and Melissa paid special attention to Izuku and the other girls from his harem but that was a given.

Before long, Izuku and his classmates reached the venue of their exam, Takoba National Stadium. Understandably, almost everyone in Class 1A felt nervous as they wondered if they could pass the exam.

Sensing their unease, Shouta spoke to them, "Don't wonder if you will be able to get the provisional hero licenses. Go and do your best to earn them." Shouta then added, "If you're able to obtain your provisional licenses, you will no longer be mere eggs. You will be hatchlings with the potential to become pro-heroes."

Izuku and his classmates nodded and were about motivate themselves by huddling together and yelling, "Plus Ultra!" when someone suddenly yelled, "PLUS ULTRA!!!"

Surprised, everyone turned their attention towards a tall and well-built boy with buzzed dark-brown hair and black eyes. Shouko's eyes widened slightly as she could have sworn she had met him before when she was still a boy. Another boy with an average build, slanted eyes and purple hair named Shishikura Seiji scolded the boy with the buzzed haircut, "It's not good to randomly insert yourself into other people's huddles, Inasa."

Standing beside Seijii was a girl with straight, fawn-coloured hair, large dark-brown eyes, noticeably full and glossy lips and a curvaceous figure named Utsushimi Camie. Izuku took notice of her lips and blushed as he thought, "I don't want to sound like Mineta, but those lips look really kissable."

Sumomo's mental image smirked and mentally agreed, "They sure do."

Ochako frowned as she mentally growled, "Don't even THINK about getting girls from others schools to join the harem!"

Back to the boy named Inasa, he realised his mistake and bowed to the point that his head slammed onto the floor while yelling, "Please accept my humblest apologies!"

"Who's this ridiculously pumped-up dude?" asked Denki.

"It's like someone combined Iida and Kirishima together and squared the result," said Hanta.

Katsuki narrowed his eyes as he recognised the two boys' uniforms and said, "They're from Shiketsu High School, an elite school that's on par with U.A. High School."

Inasa, whose full name was Yoarashi Inasa, stood up and said, "I've always admired U.A. High School and have wanted to say that phrase! It's also an utmost honour to be able to compete with you all and I wish you the best!" He then turned his attention to Shouko and his expression become sombre as he added, "I probably would have been your classmate too had I tried to understand one of you instead of jumping to conclusions."

Shouko stepped forward and asked, "We've met before, haven't we?"

Inasa nodded and replied, "My name's Yoarashi Inasa and we met during the recommendation entrance exams. You weren't exactly the most sociable person back then."

"I… brushed you off, didn't I?" asked Shouko. She recalled brushing people aside even though they tried to be friendly with her as she was not interested in forming bonds with anyone back then.

"I honestly hate Endeavour's guts and I thought that you two were the same. I didn't think about how messed up growing up with him as a father could have been," said Inasa who was ashamed of assuming the worst from Shouko. After listening to Shouko's statements about her abusive family life during her interview, he realised that Shouko despised her father and refused to be like him. Ironically, she behaved very much like endeavour during the entrance exam hence why he thought that Shouko and Enji were the same.

The fact that Shouko had chosen to remain as an undeniably beautiful girl who was a lot warmer than her past self certainly made it easier for Inasa to realise that she truly did not want to be like Enji.

Shouko bowed and apologised, "I'm truly sorry for brushing you aside back then. I… wasn't exactly in the best state of mind at the time."

"Just don't repeat that mistake again and we're good," said Inasa who then grinned and added, "Anyway, I've got to catch up with my seniors. Let's have a proper competition this time!"

Shouko smiled and replied, "I don't intend to lose this chance to earn my licence."

Inasa turned his attention to Izuku and said, "I look forward to competing with you too, Midoriya Izuku!"

"Likewise, Yoarashi-san," replied Izuku who smiled at the boisterous boy.

After Inasa had left, Shouta smirked and said, "I should warn you that of all the students that took the recommendation exams, Yoarashi Inasa got the top score."

"Wait, does that mean that he has a score even higher than Shouko?" asked Eijirou who was clearly worried about his chances of earning the provisional hero licence.

"Eraser-chan, is that you?"

Shouta froze as he immediately recognised the person who was talking to him, a woman with sea-green hair, an athletic build and dark-green eyes named Fukukado Emi. Known as the pro-heroine, Miss Joke, Emi smiled as she continued to speak to Shouta, "It's been so long since we met face-to-face!" She then suddenly said, "Anyway, let's get married!"

"No," answered Shouta who had a deadpan expression on his face.

Emi laughed as she replied, "You're always so funny!"

"And your sense of humour is as terrible as always, Miss Joke," said Shouta.

"But seriously, if you marry me, we'll have a family filled with great laughter and joy," argued Emi.

"That does not sound joyful to me at all," said Shouta.

Tsuyu tilted her head and spoke to Emi, "You two seem awfully close, kero," Mina nodded with a broad grin on her face as she was eager to know if Shota and Emi were somehow romantically involved with one another.

"Our offices used to be close to each other so we'd often help each other out and come to each other's rescues," explained Emi who then grinned and added, "It's a relationship built on mutual love!"

"That's simply untrue," said Shouta who was completely unamused by Emi's antics. He then asked, "I'm assuming that your students are with you, aren't they?"

"Yes, they are," confirmed Emi who then turned her attention to her students and said, "Come on over, everyone! Students from U.A. High School are here!" Her students, who were second years from Ketsubutsu Academy High School, then approached Izuku and his classmates.

Among the students from Emi's class, four in particular stood out. One of them was a tall and muscular boy named Shindou You who had shaggy dark-brown hair, diamond-shaped eyes and, as Izuku and his harem immediately noted, a seemingly pleasant smile which hid calculative undertones. Another student that stood out was a boy with blue carapace-like skin, no visible ears and nose, a wide jagged mouth and blue eyes named Makabe Shikkui. The third student was a boy with thin oval-shaped eyes, shoulder-length black hair, a round nose and a small mouth named Touteki Itejirou. The fourth student was a girl with pale skin, a curvaceous and reasonably muscular build, pointed teeth similar to Eijirou's, wide rectangular eyes with thick upper eyelashes and pronounced lower ones, small blue irises and short ash blonde hair named Nakagame Tatami.

For the sake of avoiding confusion, the author of this story will refer to Shindou You by his surname.

Shindou stepped forward and said, "My name is Shindou You." He then offered to shake Izuku's hand and said, "It's an honour to meet you all."

Normally, Izuku would shake a person's hand out of basic courtesy but he could not shake the feeling that Shindou was scheming something. Even if he was not cautious around him, Sumomo would have warned him as she had a lot of experience dealing with people who only seemed pleasant on the surface.

Noticing that Izuku was not shaking his hand, Shindou wore a confused expression before Izuku apologised in a guarded manner, "Sorry if it seems rude but something tells me that I shouldn't trust you, Shindou-san."

Both Emi and Shouta raised their eyebrows in mild surprise while Shindou's smile became noticeably sneakier and said, "As expected of you, Midoriya Izuku." Shindou then left without another word.

Instead of trying to defend Shindou's innocence, his classmates were instead surprised by Izuku's response. Most of Izuku's classmates noticed their response and realised that Shindou was not someone to be trusted during the exam as Tatami curiously asked, "How did you know?"

"Let's just say that I happen to know someone who's very good at tricking people and leave it at that," replied Izuku.

"As in that villain, Toga?" asked Tatami.

Izuku wanted to correct Tatami but he knew that he should not reveal anything about Sumomo so he instead lied, "You can say that."

Surprised by the unexpected turn of events, Emi turned her attention to Shouta and asked, "Did you tell then about 'that'?"

Shouta shook his head and smirked as he replied, "No, I haven't. However, something tells me that I won't need to." He then told his students, "Don't waste any more time. Get changed into your costumes and head over to the information session."

Izuku and most of his classmates responded, "Yes, sir!"

--A short while later, in a large "room"…--

Izuku and most of his classmates were shocked by the sheer number of people who were taking the exam. Standing before all of them was a middle-aged man with a tired-looking face, wavy beige-coloured hair that looked unkempt and an overall dishevelled appearance who introduced himself, "My name is Mera Yokumiru and I am from the Hero Public Safety Commission. My favourite form of sleep is NREM sleep." Yokumiru then started to complain, "My work has been so busy lately that I've hardly been able to sleep at all… there's just not enough manpower! I want to sleep!"

Almost all of the examinees shared the same thought, "He looks like he's about to pass out at any moment! Is he all right?"

Somehow regaining his composure, Yokumiru explained, "Right, with that out of the way, let me explain this to all of you. There are 1540 of you here taking this exam and we'll carry out an exercise to whittle down your numbers. In today's day and age, we are said to be living in a hero-saturated society. Ever since Stain's capture, there are many who question the current state of affairs with pro-heroes. To be someone who puts your life on the line without expecting compensation in return, that is the merciless expectation of today's society. In any case, be it for compensation or out of pure heroism, many pro-heroes have endeavoured and dedicated themselves to rescuing others and suppressing villains. From the beginning of an incident to its resolution, that window of time is becoming increasingly small and tight. Everyone who receives a provisional hero licence will be put into such difficult situations. For those of you who are unable to keep up, I'll say it clearly, it's mercilessly relentless. Therefore, what's being tested will be your speed and the first one hundred examinees who achieve the required conditions will pass."

"Wait, hold on a second! There are 1540 of us, right?! One hundred is like 5% of us, isn't it?!" yelled one of the examinees.

"Well, a lot has happened recently so just think of it as the hand you've been dealt with," replied Yokumiru.

Nearly everyone thought, "Is he serious?!"

Yokumiru then started explaining while holding a disk on one hand and an orange ball on the other hand, "Every examinee will have three 'weak point targets'. You can place them wherever you like but it must be an exposed area so places like the soles of your feet and your armpits are not allowed. You'll also be given six balls each. If a ball hits a target, it will light up. If all three of your targets get lit up, you lose. An individual who gets the third hit will be credited with a 'take-down'. Those who have at least two take-downs pass. Those are the rules."

Izuku and his classmates realised that the exam was going to be very difficult as the "room" they were inside with the other examinees unfolded to reveal an open area which had mountains, forests, various buildings and even an aquatic zone. As the examinees took in their surroundings, Yokumiru said, "All of you should be able to find a terrain that works for you so make the most of what you have and do your best. Also, the balls and targets will be distributed to you all and the exam will begin one minute after you've all spread out."

Izuku was quick to tell everyone from Class 1A that they should stay together and work as a group to pass the test. Katsuki begrudgingly agreed to cooperate with the rest of Class 1A as he had a feeling that everyone else was going to go after him and the rest of his classmates.

--Meanwhile, at the spectators' seats…--

Emi giggled as she spoke to Shouta, "Say, Eraser-chan, your fly's down!

Shouta sighed as he grumbled, "Why am I always surrounded by these annoying types…?"

"Anyway, it's rare of you to not have expelled anyone at this point, you know," said Emi who then asked, "You must be pretty fond of this class, huh?"

"Not particularly," replied Shouta.

Emi laughed and said, "Don't hide your true feelings! It's not very cool, you know!" She then offered, "Let's go on a date!"

"Shut up," growled Shouta.

Emi's expression turned serious as she continued to speak to Shouta, "Jokes aside, if there's one thing to call an annual custom in the provisional hero licence exams…"

--With Izuku and Class 1A…--

"Not that I'm complaining, but why are we sticking together?" asked Minoru.

"This test is probably going to become a battle between schools. If that happens, it's only a matter of which school they will target," explained Izuku.

Momo wore a grim expression as she spoke, "Among the competing hero schools of the country, our school does not have the advantage of people not knowing our quirks.

Shouko's expression was just as grim as she noticed students from the other schools watching their every move and said, "In other words…"

--With to Shouta and Emi…--

"-it's that every exam starts with the 'U.A. High School Crushing'." concluded Miss Joke who then asked Shouta, "So why didn't you tell your kids about it?"

"There's no particular reason for me to tell them about it. In the end, what they have to do does not change," said Shouta as he watched Izuku and his classmates defend themselves from the incoming onslaught of attacks by students from the other schools including Emi's own students. He noted how Shouko created a wave of ice to block attacks from one side while Katsuki created an explosion to blow away attacks from the other side. As for Izuku, he used a combination of kicks and finger flicks to deflect the balls while Mina melted them away with her acid and Momo created a riot shield to block the balls. Ochako hid behind the shield with Momo while Kyouka used her new support equipment to create a powerful shock wave that shattered the ground in front of Class 1A, causing various students from other schools to lose their footing. Hanta used his tape to "capture" incoming balls while Minoru did the same with the balls on his head which he had managed to combine into a chain with the help of new support equipment.

"They just have to overcome whatever stands in their way," said Shouta who then added, "Being a hero means being able to get yourself out of a pinch. Also, once you become a pro-hero, your quirk will be known to the rest of the world regardless. I'm sorry to say, but we're looking a bit farther ahead than everyone else."

--Back to Izuku and Class 1A…--

As Izuku had feared, many students from other schools started attacking him and his classmates to eliminate them first. Thankfully, they were able to avoid getting eliminated but they knew that they would not be able to pass if they were only on the defensive.

Yuuga shot a laser beam at Tooru so that she could refract it with her invisible body and scatter it to hit multiple targets which included balls and other students. Tatami was forced to dodge the attack by retracting her upper body into her lower body. Her head peeked out of her lower half as she swore, "Damn, those guys are seriously tough!"

Realising that the student from Class 1A could not be easily defeated unless they were separated, Shindou grinned and yelled, "Everyone, back away! I'm going to split them up!" He then created a massive earthquake to separate them.

However, Shouko was able to counter the earthquake by filling the gaps with ice and creating a protective dome of ice for cover. Shindou gritted his teeth in frustration as he realised that he had failed to separate Class 1A as he yelled, "We need to continue the offensive! If we give them even a little bit of breathing room, they'll go all out to take us down for sure!"

Inside the dome of ice, Mezou held Tsuyu in his arms to keep her warm while Izuku yelled, "We can't pass if we stay here, we'll need to break out and go on the offensive!" He then turned his attention to Shouko and Katsuki and said, "How big an 'exit' can you two make?"

Katsuki smirked as he asked, "Do you even have to ask, you shitty nerd?"

"I can create a wave of flames to clear the way after the ice is broken," said Shouko.

"Then let's do this!" yelled Izuku while his classmates rallied around him.

"Time to start murdering those extras through take-downs!" yelled Katsuki as he created a massive explosion to create a hole on one side of the icy dome. Shouko then created a powerful wave of fire to clear the path before everyone charged forward.

Izuku and Tenya led the charge as they quickly kicked aside balls and charged towards their chosen opponents. Momo, who was still carrying her riot shield and had armed herself with a shotgun that shot rubber slugs, charged forward behind Izuku and Tenya with Kyouka and Mina following behind her. Tsuyu quickly started camouflaging herself so that she could quickly sneak past the other students and attack them from behind while Kouji called upon a flock of birds to distract a group of students who were trying to attack Class 1A from behind.

Ochako made several pieces of debris weightless so that Kouji's birds could carry them to the opposing students. She then deactivated her quirk so that the debris would drop around them, causing them to panic and be vulnerable to attacks. Eijirou, Mashirao, Denki and Rikidou wasted no time in taking down as many of the panicked students as they could. In Eijirou's case, he did not care about falling debris as his hardening quirk allowed him to easily withstand the damage.

Yuuga and Tooru continued to work together to take down their opponents with refracted laser beams while Hanta and Minoru restrained their opponents with tape and sticky balls. Shouko created a wave of ice to restrain another large group of students while Katsuki literally flew towards his victims to take them down brutally with his explosive quirk. Mina continued to cover her friends with her acidic defence while Kyouka sent blasts of sound waves to stun the other students and Momo knocked them out with her shotgun that shot out rubber slugs.

To the dismay of many other examinees, Izuku and his classmates were anything but easy targets to take down…

--Some time later…--

Izuku and his classmates were all able to pass the first test thanks to being able to work together and help one another. Other students that had passed include Camie, Inasa, Seiji, Shindou, Tatami, Shikkui and Itejirou.

It should be noted that Sumomo had taken an oath to be on "brainwave silence" during the test which meant that she did not play a role in helping Izuku and the girls of both Class 1A and Class 1B to pass the test. That said, she made sure to let the members of the harem who were not taking the test know that everyone from both Class 1A and Class 1B had passed the first portion of their respective tests.

Once the first test was over and all the examinees had evacuated the exam premises, the entire area was destroyed with the use of explosives to stimulate a disaster zone with specially-trained individuals from the 'Help Us Company' acting as disaster victims. As the members of the company went to their respective positions, Izuku and his classmates took their chance to rest and regain their strength.

While Izuku and his classmates were resting, a second year student from Seiai Academy High School, a pale girl with thin cat-like eyes that were bluish-lilac in colour and straight pale-lavender hair which reached to her waist took notice of the U.A. High School Students. The girl with pale-lavender hair, whose name was Intelli Saiko, could not help but pay special attention to Izuku who was surrounded by his female classmates. An already-intelligent girl with a quirk that boosted her intelligence further, she knew that Izuku was the rumoured "Harem King" of U.A. High School. Personally, she found him rather plain looking but his ability to get everyone in his class to work together and pass as a whole group was both surprising and intriguing as it meant that Izuku was not only intelligent and strong but also highly charismatic. As Saiko focused her attention onto Izuku and noted the way he interacted with his female classmates, she smiled as she began to find an interest in understanding him better.

Saiko was not the only one as many other students also had the same suspicion that Izuku was the infamous harem king of U.A. High School. Considering Shouko's reasons to remain as a girl and Himiko's "official reason" of betraying the League of Villains, it was actually quite obvious that Izuku would be a likely suspect at the very least. One of the students who suspected that Izuku was the harem king was a second year student from Shiketsu High School, a boy covered entirely in light-brown hair with no distinct features other than his viridian eyes which only showed up occasionally named Moura Nagamasa. Nagamasa, who was also the class representative of Seiji and Camie's class, hummed thoughtfully as he thought, "It seems that being a hit with the ladies and being willing to break himself to achieve his goals are not his only talents."

Inasa, who was among the first to pass, approached Shouko and boisterously said, "So, you have managed to pass too!"

"Not by myself, admittedly," replied Shouko.

"Maybe, but you did good keeping your classmates together like that! I'd imagine that they would have been in a pinch if you weren't with them!" said Inasa.

"I'd like to think that we would have found a way to manage even if we somehow got separated from one another," replied Shouko.

Inasa grinned and said, "Well, whatever happens next, I look forward to seeing what you can do out there!"

Shouko nodded with a smile and replied, "Likewise, Yoarashi-san."

Nagamasa smiled as he approached Shouko and said, "I see that you're getting along with my kouhai, Todoroki-san." He then turned his attention to Izuku and said, "We'd really like to establish a good relationship with the rest of U.A. High School. That said, even I know that some of us will be strongly against the idea." Seiji clicked his tongue in displeasure which clearly indicated that he was against getting along with students from U.A. High School, especially Katsuki.

Izuku smiled and replied, "I'd like us to get along too. We're all aiming to be pro-heroes who will be responsible of saving people and stopping villains after all."

Nagamasa chuckled and said, "That's certainly true."

Suddenly, an alarm sounded and Mera made an announcement, "Villains have committed an act of terrorism. The affected area is the entirety of [Redacted] city. The destruction of numerous buildings have resulted in a large number of victims. The damage to the roads is severe and the first-response emergency unit will be considerably late to arrive. Until they arrive, all rescue activities on site will be left to you, heroes. Save everyone that you can!"

The one hundred examinees immediately set off to find the victims and rescue them. As they were not given any clear instructions all they could do was use their training to rescue them to the best of their abilities.

Unlike before, Izuku and his classmates started to split up. Izuku, Ochako, Momo and Kyouka travelled in one group towards some ruined buildings while Shouko and Tsuyu travelled to an aquatic region. Tooru went to the ruined industrial section with Yuuga while Mina followed Kouji to a forested region.

In a different time line, Izuku and his classmates were unprepared to deal with despairing victims due to a clear lack of experience. However, in this story, after sharing their memories through Sumomo, Izuku and his harem from Class 1A were more than prepared to put on a brave front to help the victims efficiently and without hesitation. Even Katsuki was willing to hold back his temper towards the victims even though he was still standoffish.

Mera was surprised by the unexpected low number of deducted points for the students of various schools and spoke to someone over a communication device, "It seems that the examinees are doing rather well."

"Then it's high time that I make my appearance. In order to protect civilians, pro-heroes will be tasked to carry out complex operations. Not only in relief measures, but also…"

Suddenly, an explosion occurred at one end of the stadium.

Shocked by the sudden explosion, everyone turned their attention towards it. As the smoke cleared, Izuku immediately recognised one person who stood out from the rest and immediately yelled out in warning, "Everyone! Gang Orca is taking the villain role for the test!"

Standing in front of a large group of "minions" who were armed with arm-mounted guns that shot fast-hardening cement was a tall well-built man whose body had the features of a killer whale named Sakamata Kuugo. Also known as the pro-hero, Gang Orca, Kuugo had deep white eyes that feature several rings that circle his red pupils, thus giving him a rather villainous look. His eyes narrowed as he ordered his minions, "Minions, begin the assault!"

As the minions charged towards the examinees and the victims, Mera announced, "With the appearance of the villains, the pursuit has begun! Heroes, you must suppress the villains and continue to carry out your rescue efforts!"

Kuugo stepped forward as he asked, "Fight, or protect? Help, or run? How will you respond… heroes?!"

Suddenly, Shindou stood before Kuugo and his minions and yelled, "Get everyone out of here! I'll create as much distance between you all and the villains I can!" Shindou then created an earthquake to stall the "villains" and planned to continue doing so in short intervals to make sure that they would not get any closer.

However, Kuugo was undeterred by the earthquake and immediately stood before Shindou before paralysing him with a powerful ultrasonic wave attack. After Shindou was easily taken down, Kuugo mockingly said, "Only a single rear guard when there is this much of a difference in ability? It looks like you're underestimating us." Taking notice of Izuku, Kuugo started to move towards him.

Luckily for Izuku, Shouko arrived and created a wave of ice to stop Kuugou. Although Kuugou was able to counter the ice by breaking it apart with his ultrasonic wave, the minions were not so lucky as they were effectively immobilised by the ice. As the villains were held back, Inasa arrived in a strong gale of wind and said, "Do you need any help to hold him back?!"

Shouko noticed that Izuku and various examinees were already proceeding with the evacuation of the victims and said, "Yoarashi-san, can you create a tornado? I have an idea!"

Inasa grinned and said, "Are you kidding me?! Creating tornadoes…" Kuugo's eyes widened as he realised what was about to happen next as Inasa yelled, "-is my speciality!!"

As soon as Inasa formed a tornado around Kuugo, Shouko created a burst of flame and allowed it to flow into the tornado. The resulting combination created a swirling fire-storm which was actually harming Kuugo due to his vulnerability to dryness.

Realising that their boss was in trouble, Kuugo's minions tried to stop Shouko and Inasa. However, Shouko created a wave of ice to hold them back while Inasa easily dodged their attacks by flying in the air.

Forced to pour water over himself to avoid drying out, Kuugo then created a powerful ultrasonic shock wave to break free from the fire-storm. He then charged towards Shouko with the intention of stopping her from using her fire again. However, Inasa created a powerful gale of wind which held him back.

Taking her chance, Shouko created a wave of ice to freeze Kuugo in place. Kuugo tried to break the incoming wave with his ultrasonic wave but a sudden earthquake made him stumble. His eyes widened as he realised that Shindou was somehow able to keep fighting due to having a body that was already resistant to powerful vibrations due to the nature of his quirk. Unable to maintain his balance, Kuugo was quickly covered in ice. However, he did not simply give up as he quickly broke free from it with an ultrasonic wave. He was about to rise up when Inasa "pushed" him down with a powerful downward gale of wind. Shouko did not waste time and immediately started to freeze Kuugo again.

Frustrated yet impressed, Kuugo laughed, "Not bad, heroes!" He decided to stop holding back and created a massive ultrasonic wave which was large enough to affect Shouko, Inasa and Shindou in one go. Breaking free of his "armour" which was actually supposed to restrain his strength, Kuugou spoke while maintaining his villainous persona, "I have to say, not many heroes can force me to use my full strength. You should be honoured to have forced me to break free of my restrains!"

Shouko, who was helpless as the minions started to pelt her with fast-drying cement, gritted her teeth as she tried to move her body or use her quirk. Inasa's situation was no better as he was similarly restrained by the cement. Even Shindou was pelted with cement to ensure that he could not do anything.

Kuugo was about to order his minions to continue with the assault when Izuku suddenly appeared and took a number of them out. The whale-like "villain" smirked as Izuku glared at him with burning determination in his eyes. Freed from his restraints, Kuugo immediately charged towards Izuku and tried to disable him with an ultrasonic wave when he was suddenly tripped by Tsuyu's tongue which appeared out of seemingly nowhere.

Shocked by the unexpected turn of events, the minions were at a loss when Tsuyu suddenly attacked them with her tongue again, causing many of them to trip. She then leapt away from a volley of fast-drying cement and disabled her camouflage before proceeding to take as many minions down as she could with kicks and tongue lashes. Tsuyu did not come alone as other examinees, including Mashirao, Mina and Fumikage, helped to take down the minions.

Kuugou quickly got up and was about to make a move when Nagamasa appeared and started extending his hair to restrain him and his minions. Undeterred, Kuugo sent a powerful ultrasonic wave which Nagasama was unable to fully withstand in spite of being protected by his hair. With Nagasama's hold weakened by the attack, Kuugou tore himself free from his hair only to be suddenly kicked in the back of his head by Izuku. Acting on pure instinct, Kuugou tried to attack Izuku but a quick flick of Izuku's fingers caused him to flinch as a shock wave of air hit him in the face near his eye. Izuku quickly leapt back and yelled, "Tsuyu-chan, now!"

Tsuyu created a glob of poisonous mucus and threw it at Kuugo's face. His eyes started to sting from the poison as he roared, "You heroes are starting to test my patience!"

Although intimidated by Kuugo, Izuku and the examinees around him stood their ground, ready to fight to the bitter end. Just then, Mera announced, "All victims have been rescued from the crisis area. The provisional hero licence exam is therefore brought to a close!"

Realising that the exam was over, everyone stopped fighting or struggling while Mera continued to speak, "After we tally the scores, I will present the results of the examinations to you all here. Those of you who have suffered injuries, please report to the infirmary. As for the rest of you, please change back into your usual clothes and await further instructions."

After Mera had made his announcement, Izuku immediately started to apologise to Kuugo, "I-I'm so sorry for asking my classmate to use her poison on you, Gang Orca! I was doing what I can to stop you from taking us out or going after the victims so please forgive her!"

Surprised by Izuku's immediate change of demeanour, Kuugo then laughed heartily and said, "All is forgiven Midoriya Izuku. The poison may be annoying but it's nothing that a quick visit to the infirmary can't fix. Besides, I am supposed to be a villain in this test so treating me as such is well within your rights. Now, go and help your other girlfriend get to the infirmary. She has suffered a rather strong ultrasonic wave after all."

Izuku bowed and said, "Thank you, Gang Orca!" He then rushed to Shouko to help her get to the infirmary and completely failed to notice the fact that Kuugo referred to her as his "other girlfriend".

Yes, even pro-heroes were beginning to realise that Izuku was the rumoured harem king.

"To think that I would be forced to break myself free of my own restraints just to be able to continue fighting, these examinees are truly something special," thought Kuugo who could not help but chuckle to himself.

--A short while later…--

Izuku and his classmates joyously cheered, "All right! We've all passed!" Everyone from both Class 1A and Class 1B had passed the exam. That said, Katsuki almost failed due to having an unpleasantly standoffish personality and constantly arguing with Seiji who despised Katsuki for his vulgar attitude. Ironically enough, Seiji, who believed that all heroes should be dignified, also almost failed the test due to constantly antagonising Katsuki.

Other students who had passed included Inasa, Camie and Nagamasa from Shiketsu High School, Shindou, Tatami, Shikkui and Itejirou from Ketsubutsu Academy High School and Saiko from Seiai Academy High School. Much like Izuku and his classmates, they were happy to have passed as well.

Sumomo's mental image grinned cheekily and mentally said, "Nemuri-neechan and the others are arranging a special night to reward you all."

Izuku tried to stop himself from blushing as he mentally asked, "It's going to involve having the other pro-heroines coming over, isn't it?"

"Since you've guessed so accurately, yes!" confirmed Sumomo.

"But the meeting room's occupied," said Ochako who knew that both Fuun and Eri were hiding in it.

"True, but do you seriously think that the pro-heroes will leave those yakuza bastards alone for long?" asked Sumomo who had a serious expression on her mental image.

"How soon are they going to take action?" asked Izuku.

Sumomo's mental image mentally said, "If all goes well…"

--Meanwhile, back in U.A. High School…--

A meeting was being held as Nedzu, Nemuri, Thirteen, Naomasa, Rikiya, Miyashita, Tatsuyuki, Mirai, Mirio, Tamaki, Nejire, a pro-hero with blond hair, round yellow eyes, a large round body with a wide mouth and a small nose named Toyomitsu Taishirou and a woman with chin-length blonde hair, thin yellow eyes that tilt inwards and had slit pupils and notably sharp teeth named Tatsuma Ryuuko.

For the sake of avoiding confusion between Tsuchikawa Ryuuko and Tatsuma Ryuuko, they would henceforth be referred to by their respective pro-heroine code names, Pixie-Bob and Ryuuku.

Nedzu wore a grim expression as he spoke to the people who attended the meeting, "As you all know, the Shie Hassaikai has been active lately, especially after the fall of All For One, and has been distributing drugs and even weapons to various villainous groups."

Taishirou, who was also known as the pro-hero, Fat Gum, frowned as he asked Nedzu while pointing at Rikiya and Miyashita, "Not that I don't want to stop them from distributing drugs and weapons, but why are the CEO of Detnerat and his employee here?"

"Not to mention that Slidin' Go is here as well instead of his usual patrol area near Deika City," said Ryuuku.

"That's because Yotsubashi-san is no ordinary CEO," explained Nedzu who then gestured to Rikiya.

Rikiya nodded and stood up as he politely said, "While I am indeed the CEO of Detnerat, I'm also the son of an infamous villain who once tried to lead a revolution to liberate the use of quirks at a time when people with quirks were oppressed by the quirkless majority."

Surprise soon turned to shock as Naomasa, Mirai, Taishirou and Ryuuku realised that Rikiya was the son of Destro himself. Mirai turned his attention to Nedzu and glared a him as he asked guardedly, "Why is the Meta Liberation Army involved in this?"

Fully expecting Naomasa and the pro-heroes' reaction, Rikiya raised his hands placatingly and explained, "I"m not here to pick a fight with the police force or the pro-heroes. I'm here because we all have the same enemy."

"And why exactly should we believe you?" growled Ryuuku.

Rikiya turned his attention to Miyashita who nodded at him before taking out a small bag which had a dart in it. Miyashita placed the bag onto the table while Rikiya explained, "The Shie Hassaikai has been developing and distributing a drug designed to eliminate quirks."

Most of the people in the room turned their attention to Naomasa who said, "He's telling the truth."

Ryuuku's eyes narrowed as she turned her attention back to Rikiya and asked, "What do you mean by 'eliminating quirks'?"

"I'm sure that you're all familiar with the underground pro-hero, Eraser Head, whose quirk disables the quirks of his opponents," said Rikiya whose eyes then narrowed as he grimly stated, "Unlike his quirk, this drug directly damages the quirk factor of the victim. If the damage is severe enough, the victim will mostly likely be rendered permanently quirkless. I trust that you pro-heroes realise the terrible implications."

"And how did you know about this?" asked Mirio who was prepared to fight Rikiya if he had to.

Rikiya smirked as he smugly answered, "When you manage a massive underground army of like-minded individuals with the intention of overthrowing your current oppressors, you learn a thing of two about obtaining illegal goods." He then added, "Besides, Detenerat specialises in making support equipment so of course we have the means to study samples of the bullets and study their effects."

"How can we be so sure that you're telling the truth and not merely leading us into a trap with clever trickery?" asked Mirai who then said, "For all we know, you might be cooperating with the Shie Hassaikai so that you can use their weapons to disable the quirks of, as you yourself have personally stated, your oppressors?" Although Mirai knew that Naomasa could be trusted with his lie-detecting quirk, even he knew that Naomasa's quirk was not infallible.

"It is certainly a plausible scenario," admitted Rikiya who then said, "However, do you seriously believe that the Metal Liberation Army will risk letting the Shie Hassaikai create a weapon that permanently disables quirks and use that weapon to create a society even more oppressive than our current society?"

"Excuse me, can I ask a question?" asked Nejire.

Rikiya smiled disarmingly as he turned his attention to Nejire and replied, "Yes, you may. What is it that you wish to ask?"

"Well, assuming that you really want to stop the Shie Hassaikai, what's going to stop you from trying to back-stab us after we work together to take them down?" asked Nejire who then added, "It's also rather strange that you want to cooperate with us when you have already told us that you have an army."

Rikiya chuckled and said, "Well, I never said that the Meta Liberation Army will cooperate with the pro-heroes and the police force for free. We may share the same enemy but we have no intention of revealing ourselves to the heroes of current society without gaining something in return."

"Then what do you wish from us in exchange for your cooperation and help?" asked Naomasa.

"A peaceful negotiation to allow people to use their quirks even when it is not related to their work such as pro-heroics," answered Rikiya who then added, "Granted, we are willing to accept certain conditions for greater freedom in quirk usage such as needing a suitable licence to do so and limiting it to specialised gyms that allow people to use their quirks even if they lack a licence."

Mirai raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you seriously accepting ideas from Midoriya Izuku?" Like everyone else in the room, he knew about Izuku's interview with Rikiya.

"Would you rather we continue with our original goal of completely liberating quirk usage no matter how many lives will be ruined as a result?" asked Rikiya.

Mirai wisely decided against arguing with Rikiya but he had to ask, "No, but I still don't understand why you would even consider taking an alternative path that deviates from your original goals."

"Simply put, Midoriya Izuku had a point that my late father was born in a time when quirkless people could still oppress people with quirks. Times have changed and I find myself sympathising with Izuku's views that quirks should not be used without taking responsible for it regardless of the laws in place," explained Rikiya who then added, "I may share my late father's wish to create a society in which people are free to use their quirks as they please but even I am not blind to the fact that I am not my father and the circumstances of the present is different from that of the past."

Mirai raised an eyebrow while Mirio, Tamaki, Nejire, Ryuuku and Taishirou stared at him with surprised expressions on their faces. They then turned their attention to Naomasa who was equally surprised and said, "He's been telling nothing the truth."

Nedzu smiled as he spoke, "Now that we have all come a common understanding, let us begin with the meeting to take down the Shie Hassaikai."

After Nedzu had explained to everyone about the possible goals of the Shie Hassaikai, Eri's mistreatment before she was unintentionally rescued by Fuun and Rikiya's confirmation that the dart contained human blood and tissue, everyone unanimously agreed that the Shie Hassaikai had to be taken down as soon as possible. As for the the Meta Liberation Army, both the pro-heroes and Naomasa agreed that the Shie Hassaikai was the immediate threat which had been dealt with first. That said, they would have to report to both the authorities of the Hero Public Safety Commission and the police force about the Meta Liberation Army. They could only hope that the authorities would accept a peaceful truce with the Meta Liberation Army as they did not want a war to begin so soon after losing the Symbol of Peace, All Might.

Rikiya knew that revealing himself to the pro-heroes the police force was risky but, like any businessman, he knew that risks had to be taken at times and a chance to settle things peacefully was certainly worth the risk. Besides, it was not as though he did not have backup plans in case anything went wrong. In fact, Geten was practically hoping for something to go wrong.

--Later that day…--

Izuku and the girls from both Class 1A and Class 1B who had taken the exam went to their "meeting room" where Nemuri, Fuun, Eri, Himiko, Mei and Melissa were waiting for them. Nemuri smiled proudly as she spoke to the group who had taken the exam, "Congratulations on earning your provisional hero licences."

"I knew that our babies wouldn't let them down!" said Mei who had a wide grin on her face.

Melissa smiled as she spoke, "You're all one step closer to becoming real pro-heroes."

Fuun smirked and said, "I know that I'm still a villainess but congratulations on passing the exam."

Eri nodded and earnestly said, "C-congratulations!"

Izuku and the girls smiled in return as he thanked them, "Thank you, everyone."

Himiko grinned and asked Izuku cheekily, "So, you have a thing for girls with full lips, huh?"

Realising that Himiko was talking about his attraction to Camie's lips, Izuku blushed and admitted, "Well, they looked really soft and kissable."

Ochako glared at Izuku and pinched his cheek as she growled, "Deku, don't even THINK about adding her into the harem!" Eri tilted her head curiously while most of the other girls and Nemuri chuckled or giggled at Ochako's response.

"As you all know, our usual fun time is out of the question due to current circumstances," said Nemuri who then grinned and added, "That said, we can still have a small party to celebrate your success." As if to prove her point, some MSBs appeared while carrying boxes of pizza and bags full of burgers.

Needless to say, everyone in the room wasted no time in celebrating with delicious food, good movies and lots of cuddles. Ochako, Tsuyu and Shouko wasted no time in hugging Izuku possessively to remind him that he should not be trying to add more girls into his harem.

--The following morning…--

Izuku woke up and realised that he could not get up. As he became more awake, he noticed that Ochako and Tsuyu were snuggling against either side of his body while Himiko hugged Ochako from behind. Shouko was hugging Izuku's right arm while Mina was hugging his left. Even his legs were occupied as Tooru hugged his left leg and Setsuna hugged his right leg. Kinoko, for some reason, slept between his legs with her head resting comfortably on his crotch. Momo, Kyouka and Itsuka were sleeping together in one cuddle pile while Pony, Yui, Reiko and Ibara slept in a different cuddle pile. Mei and Melissa somehow ended up sleeping together with Fuun and Eri. The little girl was sleeping soundly while nuzzling against Fuun's "modest chest".

Well aware that he should wake up to get ready for class, Izuku was about to get up when he noticed that Nemuri was not around. He then heard Sumomo mentally explain, "She's getting ready to attend a strategy meeting with Sir Nighteye to take down the Shie Hassaikai."

"Will the 'secret reinforcements' be present as well?" asked Izuku.

Sumomo, who already knew about Rikiya being the current leader of the Meta Liberation Army, replied, "Yes, they will be there to help." She could have told Izuku and the rest of his harem about Rikiya and the Meta Liberation Army but Nedzu had requested her to stay quiet about it until after the Shie Hassaikai had been dealt with. Considering that Nedzu wanted Izuku and his harem to take the provisional hero licence exam without unnecessary distractions, Sumomo understood the need for secrecy.

Although Izuku and most of his harem had their provisional hero licences, they were still students and would need to intern with a pro-hero before they could actively participate in heroics. Izuku could only hope that the pro-heroes would be able to take down the Shie Hassaikai without suffering any terrible losses.

--End Chapter--

Author's Notes:

I will be honest, I thought that the exam arc would take at least two chapters to finish. To my surprise, the exam ended in this single chapter. At any rate, as you can see, Shouko, Katsuki, Inasa, Seiji and Saiko passed the exam unlike canon (Saiko is an anime-only character).

Unfortunately, the smut will have to wait until Kai and the rest of the yakuza are dealt with. That said, expect more girls to show an interest in Izuku and possibly join his harem.

I plan to include Mirio's fight with Class 1A and possible get Nejire and even Yuuyu involved in the next chapter. That said, I do not plan to go into too much detail on the downfall of the Shie Hassaikai since Eri is already saved and still hidden at U.A. High School but we will see what happens.

I will be posting the next chapter of Izuku's Noumu Life next followed by Izuku's Pet Noumu.

Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
