Lee yawned, feeling that his head was so light all of the sudden. He was inside of the bus. Looking around, his classmates were chatting.
Did he sleep slightly , only to open his eyes and to see the people around in the buss?
Itsuka was smiling at him, and Reiko was just looking up.
Lee was thinking about what happened.
Shaking his head, He started to think about the last idea he had before taking a nap.
"The test!" Lee opened his eyes widely.
"Oh." Reiko turned when she heard him. "You did great there, Lee."
Flashes of memories were appearing in his head. Memories of how he passed the first stage, and then how the scariest stage had come. The acting like hero test. Somehow. Lee remembered how he dealt with the first actress, telling her to go away and yelling at her as he had a thought.
And then, he had got high.
He had acted totally like another man and did what he had done.
'What was I thinking of.' Putting his palm on his face, Lee shook his head before he looked at Itsuka, who hugged his arm to her chest.
"What has happened?" Lee asked.
He didn't know if he got his provisional license.
"Mm… after finishing with Crimson Riot, you got higher than usual," Itsuka whispered as she looked at his face, "and then, you said you want to take a nap. I took that as a Joke of yours, but then…"
Reiko continued instead of her. "You were really sleeping."
'What in the…' Lee didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he had used Hamon to get high, his decisions wouldn't always be depending on wits. Sure, his mood won't get worse. But to actually take a nap…
"How, how about the results," Lee asked, eyes widely opened.
Reiko turned her face and Itsuka stared at his eyes. It was humorous that Lee was the only one who passed the test yet doesn't know about the results.
"Lee, you've failed," Itsuka said, with a sad face.
Lee blinked twice, lowered his head, and took a deep breath.
"I see, then." He leaned back. Now, it seems that he may just put on some mask and start chasing the remains of League of Villains on his own.
He lifted his head, looking for some courageous words from his girlfriend, only to see her smiling. That was rude, wasn't it? Except that Lee knew that she isn't a rude person.
Extending his hand, Lee flicked on her forehead. Itsuka, even though Lee held back, lowered her head and held her forehead with both hands, it was like getting hit but a hummer.
But the smile didn't vanish. "Lee, that's painful." She said, faking a soft m.o.a.n in pain.
"I almost got a heart stroke," Lee said.
Reiko giggled.
"Come on, can't you take a joke." Itsuka reached her phone. "Only if you know how you have acted during the test."
"How did I act?" Lee asked.
Itsuka chuckled. Lee turned his face, Reiko's face was getting red from how she was suppressing herself from laughing.
"Come on Big Buddy, here is your license." Itsuka took off her domino mask, reached her handbag, and gave an ID hero license to Lee.
"Big buddy?" Lee repeated as he took the card.
"Hahaha…" this time, Reiko couldn't help it and lost it, laughing, tears falling from her eye. Lee turned to see everyone looking at him strangely.
When he asked them why, Juzo said, "Lee, the way you acted with these actors, made them admit that you put their act to shame. On the second stage, even Ibara couldn't be compared to you."
Lee kept looking at his license, a smirk appeared on his face. He lifted his head and asked, "Was my heroic act that good."
Since no one saw him getting high in the test, and that his classmates don't know about his ability, they would obviously think that Lee was acting.
"Lee," Vlad King who was sitting in front, next to the driver, turned his face and said. "You are the best one I had seen on my whole years of teaching."
'Oh…' well, since he has his license, he doesn't have to act like a hero. Take Endeavour as an example, though that guy acts like a non-hero, he still has the second rank in Japan.
Acting like a hero is only essential to getting your license.
Power is what really matters.
After taking a pic of his license and send it to Julia, Lee put the license back and chatted with the rest of the classmates, until they reached UA lands.
When they got off the bus, he met 1-A people.
Most of them were covered in dirt, tired, and hungry. Lee saw someone not so happy and looking at him.
"Hey, you extra–"Bakugo said as soon as he saw Lee.
"Thicc." Lee crossed his arms, showing his muscle masses. "Compared to you."
That played on Bakugo's nerves. "Tsk. With your asshole attitude, I bet you didn't pass the second stage.
"You never learn, do you?" Lee said. The next second, Star Platinum appeared behind Bakugo and held him from his arms.
"Hey, don't you dare," Bakugo said.
"Not after what you came to say. And by the way, I have got my license. You, I don't think so." Lee shook his head, and Star Platinum threw him away, only for the kid to stop by making an explosion in the air.
"Congratulation, Lee-san," Lee rolled his eyes when he heard the sweet tone.
Looking at Momo, who had her heroic costume with the slit that exposed her huge cleavage, Lee asked.
"Ah, thanks. You Momo-san?"
"Yes, though, it was a bit hard."
"Knowing you, I guess you could have an easy time," Lee said.
Momo forced a smile, "not as easy as it may seem."
"Come on, you are a smart girl,"
"You are overestimating me, Lee-san," she said, staring directly into his eyes. "My grades don't indicate so. Yours were always better." This time, her eyes were half-closed.
'She wants to rival me. I guess she doesn't want to lose for a fellow stripper.' Lee almost flinched if not for that her chest jiggled. Itsuka pinched his arm slightly seeing him staring.
Lee rolled his eyes at Itsuka.
"It doesn't really matter. Anyway, I'll leave you two to chat."
Lee patted Itsuka before Momo and then he left.
"I'll follow you, wait," Reiko followed behind Lee.
After that, Vlad King came and bragged in front of Aizawa. Apparently, 1-A had two guys who didn't get their license, which was unfortunate.
Lee then got back home, to find that Julia was waiting for him, with a cake and all, making him a party for having his provisional license.
