Just as Aizawa began to introduce the students from Shiketsu High, Mokami's gaze wandered to the beauty standing next to Inasa. Camie Utsushimi, her long blonde hair billowing in the breeze and her bright smile radiating a charm that was difficult to ignore. This time around, he mused, it was definitely her, not the ever-troublesome Toga. An amusing thought struck him - Toga, probably bored to death, rolling around aimlessly in her lab. The image was comical enough to draw a chuckle from him.
In the midst of the murmurs that followed this revelation, the students of Class 1-A were drawn to the chuckle that had escaped from Mokami. The ripple of laughter, light and carefree, stood in stark contrast to the tension that the fact of Inasa's high score had brought. The students found their eyes drawn towards their classmate.
"That's our Mokami, huh? Always one step ahead," Ashido grinned, nudging Hagakure, who was standing beside her. "Just laughing it off like it's no big deal."
"Right?" Hagakure replied, her voice carrying a hint of laughter. "Like, it's an intense situation but he just stays cool."
In their midst, Mokami stood relaxed, his chuckle lingering in the air like an unspoken promise. He knew about Inasa's score, and how it stacked up against Momo's and Todoroki's. But it did not matter to him.
"No use dwelling on things we can't change," Mokami said, finally, breaking the brief silence that had followed his chuckle. "What matters now is how we perform in the training ahead."
The students nodded, their faces showing a mixture of determination and resolve. Mokami's words, coupled with his laid-back demeanor, seemed to ignite a spark in them, renewing their confidence and determination. It was clear that they looked up to him, relying on his steadfastness and unwavering spirit to keep them grounded.
As Mokami's chuckle finally settled into a warm smile, a familiar figure made her appearance. Strutting onto the field was none other than the Pro Hero, Ms. Joke, her laughter echoing around the area. With a trademark grin, she waved enthusiastically to the students, her green eyes sparkling with unrestrained joy.
Aizawa, however, looked less than thrilled. His scowl deepened, but his usual reticence was tinged with an exasperated fondness. "You're here early, Emi," he remarked dryly, eliciting an amused chortle from the boisterous heroine.
"Can't miss the chance to see my favorite grumpy face, Shota!" Ms. Joke retorted, her laughter contagious. The students couldn't help but smile at her spirited jesting, the tense atmosphere slowly starting to break down.
The moment Ms. Joke strutted onto the field, an unmistakable ripple of excitement washed over the students. The Pro Hero's animated and joyful demeanor was infectious, an antidote to the high-strung atmosphere of the examination grounds.
Before anyone could even react, Ms. Joke burst into laughter, doubling over with the sheer force of her mirth. "Shota! Marry me!" she exclaimed, pointing dramatically at Aizawa, her green eyes sparkling with mischief. The abrupt proposal took everyone aback, eliciting a chorus of surprised gasps and giggles.
Aizawa, however, merely scoffed and rolled his eyes, an exasperated sigh escaping his lips. "You've asked that question so many times, Emi," he grumbled, the corners of his mouth tugging upward in a reluctant smirk. "The answer's still no."
Undeterred by his response, Ms. Joke gave a carefree shrug and giggled. "Well, I'll just have to keep trying then, won't I?"
Midoriya, who had been quietly observing all the while, couldn't help but mumble to himself. "Ms. Joke...her quirk is 'Outburst', it forces anyone who hears her to burst into uncontrollable laughter. A useful quirk for crowd control..." His voice was barely above a whisper, his habit of muttering to himself a constant source of amusement for his classmates.
While Midoriya was mumbling away, Ms. Joke was doing a quick survey of the students from U.A. Her eyes twinkled with interest as they landed on Mokami and Momo. She'd heard a lot about these two. They were rising stars, and there was a clear reason why.
As she observed them, she found herself captivated by their shared confidence and sense of calm, even in the midst of a high-stress environment. It was easy to see why they were considered the pillars of Class 1-A.
She grinned widely, sauntering over to them. "Well, well, the famous twins of U.A., Yaoyorozu Momo and Mokami!" Her voice was loud, her energy a stark contrast to their composed demeanor.
Momo bowed politely, her face composed. "Pleased to meet you, Ms. Joke."
Mokami simply nodded, a small smile playing on his lips.
Ms. Joke laughed heartily. "Such manners! And here I heard you two were quite the pair on the exam grounds."
"We do our best, Ms. Joke," Mokami replied smoothly, his tone light and respectful.
Before she had the chance to address them, however, her own students from Ketsubutsu Academy started arriving in a group, their excited chatter filling the air. The second year students of Class 2 - Shindo, Tatami, Makabe, and Itejiro - all looked at the U.A. students with a mixture of admiration, curiosity, and competitiveness. To them, U.A. students were celebrities, having been in the limelight since their first year.
"Alright, kiddos, gather around," Ms. Joke called out, her voice echoing across the exam grounds. “It is time to go.”
The expansive Takoba National Stadium loomed ahead, its impressive structure punctuating the skyline. The seats filled with a myriad of color and noise, the palpable tension within the stadium turning the air heavy with anticipation. The sheer enormity of the structure, the vast sea of spectators, and the impending significance of the day weighed on the hearts of those who entered.
Mokami, however, maintained his confident stride, his eyes calm and focused on the path ahead. To his right was Momo, mirroring his composure. On his left were Toru and Mina, his girlfriends, looking up to him for reassurance. The rest of the Class 1-A followed closely behind, taking comfort in Mokami's collected demeanor.
