While all the future students were convening on how they did as individuals, everyone that was playing the part of the villain had their own discussion with each other. Understandably, The Dragon was a little late to the party and, contrary to her usual self, showed a great deal of sadness in her face. She curled up into a ball on her seat and kept her eyes low to the ground.

[color=0072bc]“So what’s the story?”[/color] asked The Shadow, being the first to express concern.

[color=ec478c]“Well… Tetsumi-kun seemed to be OK from what I could see, but the medics insisted that we give him more time to recover,”[/color] The Dragon rose her head to make eye contact with The Shadow, but lowered it back again when she was finished with her explanation, [color=ec478c]“Guess a face-to-[i]face[/i] apology is out of the question for today...”[/color]

Everyone had a moment of silence. The Beast admittedly had the head start in that department, not having actually said anything since The Dragon arrived. The Mastermind’s smile vanished, a rare sight as that was of him, as he took in the gravity of the situation. The Shadow simply nodded in acknowledgement, having been all too familiar with these types of scenarios. Even The Ruler felt obligated to pay her respects to her comrade of the fairer sex. Suddenly, however…

[color=a2d39c]“Cheer up, Tanifuji; we all make mistakes from time to time,”[/color] The Mastermind’s annoyingly sparkling smile returned in the most unexpected of fashions as he said this, [color=a2d39c]“In fact, we were still discussing how exactly we were meant to get the students home again considering the bus is now officially totalled. ”[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]“We did agree that the repairs were to come out of Goudo’s pocket, though,”[/color] The Ruler snarkily added.

[color=0072bc]“Correction; only for the panelbeating; it’d be highly unrealistic to assume a teacher’s salary would be enough to pay for a new engine,”[/color] The Shadow felt obligated to mention, to which The Ruler rolled her eyes in dismissal, [color=0072bc]“In any case, that’s beside the point. We [i]should[/i] be focusing on how the students had performed as a whole...”[/color]

The Beast continued to remain silent for much of the meeting, as did The Dragon. As he looked slightly over to his left, he noticed that the proctor was visible on the outskirts of his peripheral vision, compiling all sorts of data on her laptop which had kept her preoccupied from participating too heavily in the meeting. It was at this point that The Beast finally broke his own silence.

[color=a15408]“That reminds me,”[/color] he stated, turning to face the child-like proctor, [color=a15408]“Go ahead and give those three the points they’d have gotten from me, if you don’t mind.”[/color]

[b]“Are you [i]sure[/i] about that, Itagaki?”[/b] the proctor asked for clarification.

[color=a15408]“If it’ll stop a certain one of them from bitching at us later down the road...”[/color] The Beast grumbled through gritted teeth.

Nodding in acknowledgment, the proctor simply got back to what she was doing, while most everyone else were still going over a few things of their own.

[b]“Alright, I have enough here to work with,”[/b] she said, [b]“I’ll let the students know what will happen.”[/b]

Three days had passed since the exam had been held, and still there was no word on whether Umi had passed. The thought of her failing despite her best efforts… it was enough to prevent her from getting a decent night’s sleep. She got out of bed and washed herself up, and was just about to sit down to eat breakfast when she noticed her mother, Suguro Mako, with a handful of envelopes. Mako was reading one in particular that was meant for Umi, which had detailed the results on the examination at Jigokuraku Academy… and seemingly with high regards.

[color=00746b]“Oh wow, this makes it look as though you aced the exam,”[/color] Mako said as she noted Umi’s arrival, before, no longer able to contain her excitement, rushing to wrap herself around the poor girl and squeezing her tightly in her chest, [color=00746b]“I’m so proud of you, UmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIII!!”[/color]

[color=04ece9]“M-mom!”[/color] Umi tried desperately to pry her head away from Mako’s breasts as she exclaimed, her face red in embarrassment as they made contact with the side of it, but the way her mother held her wouldn’t allow such a thing to be possible.

[color=00746b]“C’mon now, don’t be such a prude,”[/color] Mako ruffled Umi’s hair with her free hand as she said this, only just now realizing the time after the slightest of glances on her watch, [color=00746b]“Let’s get you ready. Don’t want you to be late on the first day, now, [i]do[/i] we?”[/color]

With that, Mako let go and moved to fix Umi’s lunch for the day, whereas Umi herself finally got to sit down and pour her bowl of cereal. She glazed over the letter that was addressed to her specifically.

[b][i]‘Suguro Umi

The bravery and fortitude that you showed during the examination are exactly what we’re looking for in an aspiring hero. We’ve had to make a myriad of difficult choices during our selection process over the years, but the decision to accept you was arguably the easiest decision that we’ve ever had the fortune of being presented. You should take great pride in your accomplishments.

[color=04ece9][i]'How could they[/i] say [i]that about me?'[/i][/color] Umi worried over, unsure whether to be grateful or dismayed.

She also had to wonder how the proctor was able to gather enough information to make the executive decisions necessary, despite the fact that the exam was called off early. In any case, it wasn’t worth thinking about now that Umi had no-one to go over the facts with. She’d have to wait for the inevitable rendezvous with all the other participants of the exam...

You’ve shown great coordination with your allies, and this is prominently highlighted in your endeavor against The Mastermind. He considered your efforts very impressive, and he went on to say, and I quote this, “almost enough to have me beat.” In any case, you have great potential, and we’d be honored to teach you what you need to learn.

Your support and leadership qualities have not gone unnoticed. You’ve shone the way for your allies’ success, both figuratively and literally, and the fact that you’ve done so without compromising your own success is a remarkable feat indeed. We’re in appreciation that you’ve taken such an initiative in regards to the other participants.

The sacrifices you’ve made for yourself are admirable, as is your level of perseverance. We would’ve completely understood if you felt unable to continue due to the injuries you’ve sustained to your leg, and yet you’ve decided to press forward. That said, try not to be so reckless in the future; it’d be unfortunate to lose a good student over something we are more than capable of preventing.

In spite of what we ultimately considered a lackluster performance from you, we’ve decided that what we’ve seen from your Quirk is interesting enough to warrant your official acceptance. We look forward to seeing it grow in application, and we’d like you to start making up for your failings, as well as make a name for yourself here at Jigokuraku Academy.

From what we could tell, you’ve done quite well for yourself. You’ve established an early lead in terms of garnering points for the exam, and while it had evidently squandered near the last few minutes, it was still enough to keep you in the game, so to speak. We expect you to continue with your good work, as you’ve already made yourself into a promising student.

If I’m honest, I had doubts that you would make the grade. But I’m glad to say that I was wrong… not to mention pleasantly surprised. So far, you’ve proven yourself to be what one would consider a dark horse, and should you continue to perform as well as you did during the exam, you may yet take all the Hero Academies by storm.

[hider=Minami’s Letter][b][i]‘Nekoyama Minami

You’ve have an impressive haul of dummies during the final few minutes of the exam; more than enough to see to your own acceptance. However, you gave up some of those to ensure that another participant would be credited enough for successful entry, which, while a kind gesture, was not something we would like to see. I’m sure said participant had shown appreciation for the selfless act, so in that case, I’ll let it slide.

In the off-chance that you’re unaware, you should know that we typically judge each participant on their own individual merits, not on the generosity of their allies. That said, your performance during the exam was well within expectations, and you’ve done well enough to earn your enrolment into Jigokuraku Academy. We’re trusting that you’ll be a good student.

[hider=Hiroki’s Letter][b][i]‘Sakimoto Hiroki

You’ve had a good performance during the examination itself, but we’ve noticed that you had taken an unnecessarily hostile tone towards your allies right after time was called. If you value a fervent career as an aspiring hero, then I would suggest that you keep any further incidents to an absolute minimum, if not nullify them completely. Remember: anger begets trouble.

Since you were out of commission for much of the exam, I’ve taken the liberty of running multiple simulations in order to determine how exactly you would complete the exam with the current rate of progress. Of the 1,024 simulations that I’ve ran, 835 dictate that you would have accomplished a satisfactory result; as such, we’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and welcome you into the school.

It seems your Quirk was integral in procuring The Beast’s demise. You deserve commendation for such a feat in and of itself, as do those who supported your efforts. The three of you were the only ones who had defeated a villain within the current time restraints, so that alone should speak for your potential to excel in this curriculum.

We are thankful that your performance reflects what was promised in the letter of recommendation that we received from you prior. The Beast has vouched for your capabilities, and The Shadow had also expressed a desire to explore the limitations of your Quirk, although circumstances prevented him from doing so. We would be proud to have someone of your caliber here at Jigokuraku Academy.
