Authors Note:
You and I BOTH know Present Mic would have DEMANDED to record the acceptance letter for the Listener With the Pulse. But All Might still has to tell Síat he took a teaching job.

Síat opened his motel door with mild annoyance.
「I AM HERE, WITH MAIL!!!!!!」All Might stood, holding a thick envelope with a red wax seal. 「They would have delivered it via post, but I insisted, because I wanted to tell you; I have joined the faculty this year! I would have let them, but another teacher took over my address to the examinees, specifically for YOU! Apparently you make quite the impression!」
「Okay, great. You and I are going to have a talk later about how to do Shave and a Haircut.」 Síat took the letter. 「You know, you don't see wax seals anymore, I think I'll try to save that... Memento, and collectible.」
He slid a sliver of blood out of his thumb and sharpened it, slicing through the top of the letter. A small round disc fell out first. As soon as it clattered to the ground, the Motel's ceiling lit up.
Present Mic popped up from the bottom of the frame. 「EXAMINEE NUMBER 7235!!!! OR AS I LIKE TO CALL YOU, THE LISTENER WITH A PULSE!!!! WELCOME BACK, AND THANKS FOR TUNING IN!!!! As you might've guessed, your written exam for UA high was just a little too close to failing, don't worry, we graded you on a curve for the essay portion because of your foreign status, though! As for your villain points, you did well enough to pass! 25 VILLAIN POINTS!!!! YEAH!!!!」Present Mic air guitared, and somehow ended up with a sound effect.
Síat smirked and folded his arms.
「BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!! You tuned in to listen to the cries of that helpless little examinee, and earned yourself a secret score! Rescue points! You earned 15 points for rocketing that titan back, another 15 for lifting that massive chunk of wall off of her foot, and another 15 for keeping that sweet little muffin safe for the remaining time! That's 45 total rescue points for a final total of 70!」 Present Mic leaned in conspiratorially. 「Between you and me, you'd have earned more for riding home with her, but that'd have exposed a dear faculty member for stalking you through an illegal hack of the train's security footage. We still all watched it though, because Shouta went through all the trouble. That face you made at that creep on the train was SO Punk Rock!」
Síat became very pale.
「That's all the time I have on the air, remember to tune in on April 2nd for your first day, mkay?」 Present Mic tilted his sunglasses down. 「And I meant what I said, Síat Rahill, ANYTHING you need, Uncle Hizashi's got you.」 He reeled back and struck a rockstar pose. 「GO BEYOND; PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa...」 The disc dimmed.
「All Might, that man is crazy, I made NO faces on the train...」
「Oh! What a shame, I'll have to find the one who did! I too think it was pretty rad!」 All Might's smile shimmered, and Síat could swear he saw the man's thumbs-up do the same.
