Inumaki stood in the deserted stadium, his body swaying from exhaustion after a full week of grueling training.
Suddenly…
Inumaki heard a faint mechanical buzzing… bzzz…
He raised his head wearily to find a small drone in the sky, similar to the ones used for reconnaissance.
The drone approached gradually, then hovered at a low altitude in front of him. From beneath it, a small mechanical arm extended, lowering a medium-sized box, tightly wrapped and stamped with the academy's seal.
Inumaki grabbed the box before opening it carefully.
Suddenly, a bright blue light burst from inside the box, followed by a short electric sound, then a small metallic device emerged.
Just a few seconds later… the device projected a three-dimensional hologram.
Before him appeared a massive 3D image of a legendary figure known to everyone… All Might.
He was smiling his famous wide smile, full of life, his strong voice filling the space:
🔊 "Young man! Congratulations… you have shown great courage!"
Inumaki's eyes widened; he had not expected to see this scene for himself.
It was just like in the anime.
All Might continued, raising his hand as he always does in front of the crowd:
🔊 "I know you are wondering about your test results… the exam was not only based on combat points, there were also rescue points. And I'm sorry to inform you that you did not earn any rescue points; all the points you received came from combat."
The 3D scenes flowed before Inumaki's eyes: moments of students falling, saving others, and the system recording points without the contestants knowing.
All Might then returned with a wider smile:
🔊 "Inumaki Toji! You have shown combat ability… therefore—you have been officially accepted into U.A. Academy!"
But suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he continued in a more serious voice:
🔊 "However… there is something you need to know. Because you attacked one of the students during the exam, ten points have been deducted from your final score."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Inumaki's face before his stats were displayed:
[Base Points: 88]
[Deduction: -10]
[Final Score: 78]
🔊 "Congratulations, young man! Your final score is 78… which is enough to qualify as admitted."
All Might raised his powerful fist to the sky, his voice filling the room like thunder:
🔊 "From today… you are one of the students of U.A. Academy!"
The light gradually disappeared, and the device powered down, falling quietly back into the box.
Inumaki remained seated in place.
The small white cat that had been beside him jumped onto his lap, as if sharing this pivotal moment.
He finally smiled…
"Why are you happier than me?"
Inumaki sat, still staring at the extinguished box,
the white cat meowing softly as if celebrating, while he gave a faint, sarcastic smile:
"Why are you happier than me?"
But suddenly…
the sound of heavy footsteps crept from the alleys surrounding the deserted stadium. Not one step, but a whole group.
Inumaki raised his head slowly, narrowing his eyes to see the shadows approaching.
Burly men, faces full of anger, carrying sticks and rusty knives.
They stopped a short distance away, then one of them pointed at Inumaki, shouting:
"This is him! The monster who killed our brother!"
The commotion rose among them, voices of curses tearing through the air, before an older man with sharp features, bulging veins, and glaring eyes stepped forward.
It was clear he was the gang leader.
He stood firmly and said in a deep voice:
"Are you the one who killed my little brother?" asked the gang leader.
"Yes," Inumaki replied coldly.
"I like that you try to appear like the heroes," said the gang leader.
As soon as Inumaki heard that, a wave of anger surged inside him.
"Heh… acting like the heroes," Inumaki said with a sharp smile.
"No… I lost hope in heroes long ago," he continued sarcastically.
"..." The gang leader could not understand a word Inumaki was saying, so he sighed before continuing:
"Haaah… kneel, boy, and I might let you live at least," said the gang leader angrily.
"I don't want to."
"….."
"At first, I was going to kill you quickly, but I promise you will wish for death. I will tear you apart, boy… in revenge for my brother who fell because of you. You won't leave here alive!" The gang leader could not control himself before he started shouting.
He paused for a moment, observing Inumaki…
but he smiled at what he saw.
Before him was not a "monster" or a "mountain of muscle" as he had imagined.
It was just a boy… no older than sixteen, his body slender, face pale, and white hair scattered and shining under the moonlight.
The leader growled inside, a sarcastic laugh forming in his mind:
Really? This is who they talk about? A frail boy I could crush with my hands?
But his arrogance quickly shattered.
As they prepared to attack, Inumaki stood calmly, then began rotating his shoulders and moving his arms slowly… simple warm-up exercises, as if preparing for a normal PE lesson, not a life-or-death battle.
He tightened his white scarf around his neck, then raised his gaze to them with a cold smile.
His voice came out confident, sarcastic:
"Looks like you came at just the right time."
The men paused, confusion appearing on their faces.
Inumaki continued, bending his knees and stretching his arms as if entering a training ring:
"I was looking for a chance to test my abilities after this week… and you brought it to me yourselves."
He grabbed the small cat before lifting it onto the ba
ck of a nearby car, then turned back to them.
Inumaki took hold of the iron bat before speaking:
"Let's begin…"
There is a picture of the Inumaki Toji
There is a picture of the cat
A small note
There are no pictures of the hero, so I am editing the entire picture, so the picture may not be similar to Inumaki, but I am trying my best to give you suitable pictures.
