🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.

“The rescue points aren’t a publicized part of the exam,” Eraserhead points out. “At any point, in contrast to them being told about the villain points at the start.”

“And students don’t normally get told how many villain points they got unless they’ve done something truly remarkable; there’s no real point,” Yokumiru says. “On top of that, in a sense the rescue points have always served the purpose of proving that you will be willing to rescue people rather than focus on showboating. Has anyone ever gotten into UA without getting at least one rescue point?”

“Endeavor maybe,” Eraserhead says with a snort.

“No, he had fifteen,” Nedzu says. “There’s a reason the man is Number Two, and it’s because he’s good at being a hero. Not a very pleasant person, but a good hero. I was curious a few years ago and read how his exam went,” he explains, obviously noticing the very confused look on Eraserhead’s face. Yokumiru had already been aware of Endeavor’s test scores, having planned on bringing it up. “All Might at present holds the record for most rescue points at fifty eight and the record for overall score at seventy six.”

“And in terms of anyone getting in without at least one point?”

“No one,” Nedzu says. “In no small part because it is hard to avoid getting at least one. The first point is traditionally the easiest to get, just offering a hand to a classmate or giving them forewarning of an attack.”

“If that’s the case, then I don’t see why it would be an issue for UA to add in the requirement of a student must have at least one.”

“What about the reverse?” Eraserhead asks. “What about students who get only rescue points?”

“Has anyone actually succeeded in doing that?” Yokumiru asks. He hadn’t looked that up.
