CHAPTER FIFTEEN ❛ provisional licensing exam: final part ❜
"(Y/N)?! (Y/N), GETup!" Your eyes fluttered open, revealing that bubble-gum pink hair you were all too familiar with. "You were knocked out for a few minutes. Can you move?" Mina huffed as she draped your arm over her shoulder, running beside many of your fellow 1-A classmates. They each held an injured bystander in their arms, heading toward another nearby first-aid station that wasn't overrun with villains. Retracting your arm from across her shoulder, you began to run beside her. A few parts of your body were still numb from Gang Orca's attack, but you could manage on your own.
"I'm fine, what's going on?!" You glanced backward, spotting a group of villains hot on your trail. Well, that explains it.
"They're getting closer!" Ojiro yelled. Gang Orca's henchmen were growing too close for comfort. They were catching up every passing second. Nearby buildings were collapsing, and a raging ball of fire was beginning to grow from far away. It was a chaotic sight, and there wasn't much anyone could do about the villains. Most of the students hands were full of injured citizens, leaving them no way to fight back. You had to act— and fast. Stopping in your tracks, you turned toward the villains, both of your hands engulfing into bright flames.
"You all keep going, I'll hold them off until then!" Nodding in understanding, your classmates continued on their path, holding the bystanders well-being as top priority. You weren't able to do much in your injured state, but nonetheless, you'd try your best. Swatting your fiery hands, you created bursts of flames that kept the villains at a safe distance, and gave enough time for your classmates to escape. You'd have to stay on the defense, considering your offense was a bit shaky from the previous attack. You wouldn't be able to achieve your full power at this state.
"Enough of this!" A villain yelled, before reaching through the flames for your arm. His suit was scorched from the heat, but he continued his efforts and pushed you to the ground. You landed harshly against the concrete, gasping for air. You were winded from the impact of hitting the ground, causing your flames to extinguish. The villain retracted his hand to strike. As soon as you raised your arms up in defense, a buzzer went off, signaling the end of the exam.
"So, yeah, all of the HUC bystanders that were employed have now been rescued from the disaster zone. That's it, exam's over. As of now, you're free to exit the exam area and change into your regular clothes." Jeez, just in time. You let out a sigh of relief as you fell back against the ground. What a day it has been ...

"Ohh, I'm so excited, I wonder if we all passed?!" Denki exclaimed, adjusting his tie as he joined the group of 1-A students. You stood around with your class, awaiting the results of the exam. Your fellow classmates had informed you on what had took place while you were unconscious. Apparently and the strange student from before had argued mid-battle, and almost injured another fellow student in the process. Todoroki had stood a distance away from the class, not interested in making any small talk.
