Chapter 61 - CH 47: PAST? (1) (1/2)
Two days later, the teachers of U.A were reviewing the total score of the examinee. While looking at the answer sheet given by the examinee, and remembering their actions during the practical exam, each of the teachers sometimes nodded or sometimes frowned. The goal of today's reunion was to totalize the points of each examinee. Two batches, Ten recommended students in total.
The grading system this time for the practical exam was divided into three. Villain points, determined by the points gotten from destroying robots, Rescue point determined by a panel of judges finally morality points. Determined by the number of students you attacked. Self-defense didn't count. The morality points were negative. So the higher they were, the lower your overall score would be.
The morality points wouldn't be implemented in the public exam.
As they totalized the numbers of points, they finally reached a consensus and Nezu announced
”This year recommended candidates are, Mineta Minagata and Hatsume Mei for the departments of support. Yaoyorozu Momo, Tokage Setsuna, Honenuki Juzo, Yoarashi Inasa, Todoroki Shoto, Gin Ayakahime and finally… Hayate Kuroha for the hero department. No one qualified for a recommendation in the department of general education and the department of management. Any objection?”
An uncomfortable silence landed in the room. Finally, Kayama Nemuri, also known as Midnight raised her hand,
”I can barely accept Gin's being recommended, despite her quirk behind related to charm, her personality doesn't seem malicious just a little mischievous. But as for Hayate Kuroha, I vehemently Object.”
Yes, Hayate Kuroha was the cause of this situation. Even though only three people were present in the room during the interview, the room was full of cameras that directly streamed it to another location where all the seniors' teachers were reunited.
They were all pro or ex-pro heroes. They have seen their fair share of monsters and horror. If Kuroha was a screaming lunatic who spoke about destroying evil, they wouldn't have taken this so seriously. It wasn't like they never had unruly students.
But this boy...Some of them shuddered. This wasn't normal. Even being on the other side of the screen they still felt goosebumps at his words.
Nezu, hearing Midnight objection didn't speak but lifted his teacup that was empty. Hyoga, who stood behind him still in Butler outfit refilled it. A light fragrance of high-quality tea wafted in the room.
Even the queen of England couldn't drink this tea more elegantly than Nezu. Seeing him like this, the teachers began to settle down and slowly stopped arguing. Finally; after a few minutes of silence, Nezu put back his cup before saying,
”Midnight, I understand your worries, but you should understand that Hayate Kuroha simply doesn't need UA to become a hero. He doesn't even need japan to do so. As such, even if we refused him here, nothing would change.”
”But…”
”Let me finish.”
Midnight hung her head and stayed silent.
”We are educators. Our role isn't to discriminate against our own students but to slowly guide them toward their dreams and transforming them into valuable men and heroes for our society. Am I right, Midnight?”
She reluctantly nodded,
”Now for Hayate Kuroha's case, as a hero and a teacher, rather than fearing him, wouldn't it be better to keep him under our care? We may not be able to change his end goal, but we could make it so he doesn't transform into the monsters he wants to destroy.”
This time, everything was more or less settled. Nezu spoke
”Eraser head, this year, you'll be class A teacher. With unstable elements such as Todoroki Shoto and Hayate Kuroha, your abilities to erase quirks will be vital”
