After quickly finishing the hero test, I"ve just laid on the desk and enjoyed the quiet cla.s.sroom. Kacchan has finished some time after me, and she plopped on the desk as well.Some time pa.s.sed, and kids were finishing one by one.
"Alright! Put down your pens. The time has run out."
There were some sighs from the crowd, indicating that some kids weren"t able to finish.
"Now, you have 30 minute break to prepare for the IQ test. The IQ test will be 2 hours long, so you have plenty of time to think about every question." said our homeroom teacher as he left the cla.s.s to get some snacks.
"Growl"
I turned around to find the source of the sound and to my surprise, it was Kacchan.
She saw, that Deku was observing her stomach, so she put her hands on it, and tried to hide her hunger.
Following which she quickly fled the room in embarra.s.sment.
Deku stood up from his chair, and followed after her.
They both ended up on the roof of the school.
"What do you want Deku!?" she growled just as loud as her stomach did.
Deku smiled and said, "I see that you are hungry."
Kacchan gritted her teeth, but didn"t say anything in return, indicating that he was right.
Deku sat beside her and asked, "Why didn"t you bring your food?"
Kacchan clicked her tongue, and said, "Not like it f.u.c.king matters, but I had a fight with the old hag again, and I forgot to take the food from the fridge, and besides, it"s the last f.u.c.king day of school, I expected it to end sooner."

Heck, it"s true that she is my only friend. But even without a quest, I would still give her food.
Deku nodded his head, and said, "I have more food than I usually have. Do you want some?"
Kacchan looked at him with a surprised face. She then proceeded to take a peek at his food and couldn"t help but salivate.
There are so many rice b.a.l.l.s. Heck, there are even meat b.a.l.l.s.
Why does he have so much food in school?! Is it possible that.. He brought it for me? No.. There is no way he knew that I wouldn"t bring food today.
"Want some? Here!" Deku stabbed the meatball with a wooden stick, and brought the food to her mouth.
She wanted to curse him, but the smell made her open her mouth instantly.
"Ahm" "munch" "munch"
She greedily devoured the food.
Deku smiled and said, "You must have been hungry. I am sorry. Here, you can eat all of this."
Deku brought out a second lunch with even more meatb.a.l.l.s.
"True, I didn"t have a dinner or breakfast, so this is f.u.c.king amazing." Kacchan nodded.
"Why didn"t you eat anything?"
"I didn"t feel like eating. Anyway. Continue."
Deku looked confused and asked, "Continue with what?"
"With feeding me. I don"t feel like using my arms."
"Hah..sure." replied Deku
Together, they enjoyed the morning breeze.

QUEST COMPLETE
Feed The Poor Girl.
REWARD: Bonus affection from Katsuro +5.
«--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+5? Wasn"t it supposed to be +1?
On their way back into the cla.s.sroom, they still talked about the food.
"So, thanks for today, and tell your mother I am grateful for those meatb.a.l.l.s and stuff." said Kacchan.
"Umm.. Actually.. I was the one who made them.. Haha." Deku nervously laughed.
Katsuro stopped, and looked at Deku while fidgeting.
"Y-You made them!?"
"Well yeah. I usually cook in the house since my mom is busy all the time.
I really enjoy it though. Also, I eat too much, so I don"t want to bother my mom with making so many meatb.a.l.l.s all by herself haha." Deku scratched his head in embarra.s.sment.
"I feel like it"s really embarra.s.sing for a man to cook, so I didn"t tell anyone.."
"Yes it is. But I don"t think it matters in this case, since you are helping your mother." replied Kacchan.
"Thanks Kacchan." Deku smiled, as both of them entered the cla.s.sroom.
Seeing both of them together, cla.s.smates didn"t know what to think.
One time they didn"t talk to each other at all, and now, they were really close.
Deku sat back in his place while he observed everyone"s eyes.
Seems like people still aren"t accustomed to my and Kacchan"s friendship.
I don"t blame them, since the past 4 years she completely ignored me.
What changed her?
Out of nowhere, our teacher barged in the cla.s.s and interrupted my thoughts.
"Hey! Listen up! I"ve got your IQ tests. All of you are to stay here and complete them, Midoriya and Bakugo, are to go to the princ.i.p.al"s room."
Katsuro and Izuku looked at each other. Confusion visible in their eyes.
They left the cla.s.sroom together with their teacher.
"You two, come with me."
Izuku was worried if something happened.
Did they find out that I am not quirkless? But why would they take Kacchan as well?
"May I ask, why didn"t we stay with rest of the students?"
"Ah, don"t worry about that, the princ.i.p.al wants you two to take an IQ test in front of him. You were chosen as the most intelligent duo in school. And I am proud that you are my students haha."
Without any delay, all three of them arrived in front of headmasters door.
"Come in"
A loud voice echoed from the other side.
We walked in, and a giant person greeted us.
"Woah, I"ve never seen the princ.i.p.al. To think he was such a giant." Izuku muttered.
"I welcome you, I am sorry if I inconvenienced you somehow, but I personally wanted to witness your skills. Young Midoriya and young Bakugo."
"Now now kids, don"t be scared. He looks intimidating, however he is gentle and a caring person." said our teacher.
Kacchan immediately exploded. "Who the h.e.l.l is scared?! He looks just like a big juicy meatball! Who would be scared of that?!"
"Now now Kacchan, that was really impolite. I am sorry for my friend dear princ.i.p.al. Please don"t take it to heart." said Izuku.
"Sure haha, no problem! I"ve been called by many names, from fatty to hamburger, but juicy meatball is the first" laughed princ.i.p.al.
Teacher looked at the princ.i.p.al and thought, he looks like he is having fun.
"Now, for the serious business. Here are your tests, you have exactly 20 minutes to complete as many tasks as you can!"

«-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------»
What is the intelligence gathering department? I"ve never heard about it. I want to be a hero, not some boring inventor or something. Also, there is this unknown thing.
Izuku thought as he stared at the test paper in his hands.
¤Can you solve this?¤
3x2+4x0
A. 0 C. 6
B. 3 D. 2
Starting with an easy trick. The correct answer is C.
¤If a hen and a half, lay an egg and a half, in a day and a half, how many eggs will half a dozen hens lay in half a dozen days?¤
I don"t usually swear, but what the f.u.c.k is this question?!
Let me think... Half... Dozen days..
I"ve got it! It"s 24.
Satisfied with himself, Izuku wrote his answer.
He looked over his shoulder, just to see Kacchan struggling with the questions.
Looks like she is doing her best as well. Let"s continue.
¤A small number of cards has been lost from a complete pack. If I deal among four people, three cards remain. If I deal among three people, two remain and if I deal among five people, two cards remain. How many cards are there?¤
An easy 47, I"ve heard this before.
*********************************************************************************
18 minutes had pa.s.sed, and Izuku was on the last question.
This one is probably the hardest.
¤ You have a calculator that can display ten digits. How many different ten-digit numbers can you type using just the 0-9 keys once each, and moving from one keypress to the next using the knight"s move in chess?
This is too difficult without the calculator. Luckily I"ve used to play some chess with my mom.
"The time has run out!" announced princ.i.p.al.
"s.h.i.t!" Kacchan cursed.
"How did you do Deku?! I am f.u.c.king tired from this IQ bulls.h.i.t. I"ve been stuck on so many questions, that there is no way I am getting a good score. Heck, why were we given only 20 minutes? From what I"ve heard, it was supposed to be a 2 hour test."
"Haha, I did pretty well." replied Deku.
"What does that f.u.c.king mean?!" Kacchan was getting angrier by every second.
"I finished. I finished them all."
The room turned silent. "Wh-What did you just say? You finished it? Every single question?! There were 600 most difficult questions we could put on there. And you finished it?" the princ.i.p.al couldn"t believe his ears. How was that possible?
"Eh..I know that you are really exceptional person Midoriya, but not even the headmaster of U.A. finished all of them in 20 minutes. He spent 38 minutes on this test, and he is supposedly the most intelligent being. His quirk is even called high specs intelligence."
"Deku.. I know you like your f.u.c.king jokes, but I am not in the mood right now." Kacchan growled.
"No, I am serious, check the paper." Izuku stood up, and placed his test on Kacchan"s desk.
All 3 heads looked into the paper. They read and read, their expressions slowly turned from scorn to disbelief.
After they finished with reading, they all turned silent and no one spoke.
"Deku.." finally, he heard a voice of his best friend.
"Yes?"
"I, managed to finish 400 questions, out of which who knows how many are wrong, probably most of them, but you managed to finish all of them, and from the look of it, princ.i.p.al didn"t say anything bad. I am.. Speechless"
I don"t think I"ve ever seen an expression like that from Kacchan. That"s the first.
She looked lost.
"But that doesn"t mean you beat me! Do you hear me?!!"
Aaand she is back to normal.
"Princ.i.p.al?"
"Yes I know, I will call him immediately."
