YOKUMIRU MERA IN "THE TEST"

Yokumiru Mera first appeared in chapter 12 of the manga.

Yokumiru Mera is a worker for the Hero Public Safety Commission/HPSC.

He served as the acting president of the HPSC following the original president's death during the Paranormal Liberation Front's attack on the Commission headquarters.

After the Final War, Hawks succeeded him as the new president.

Appearance

Yokumiru is a lanky middle-aged man with beige, chin-length, and messy hair. He is dressed in a formal black shirt with a white undershirt; his shirt is followed by equally black pants. He wears a loose tie and black shoes. He completes his look with a microphone for general speeches and commentating.

His black eyes are framed with small, but noticeable bags caused by a lack of sleep.

Personality

Yokumiru suffers from sleep deprivation due to overworking, something that he tends to complain about frequently. This leads to his having a blasé and an unenthusiastic attitude while working. He had shown himself to be very disinterested during the Provisional Hero License Exam, and was only looking forward to the end of the exam, where he could finally get some rest.

Despite this, he can also be quite inspirational at times, such as when he gave a speech about the next generation of heroes having to take the mantle from their superiors at the end of the Provisional Hero License Exam. He also gave the students who failed hope of still gaining their licenses through remedial courses.

Provisional Hero License Exam Arc

Yokumiru Mera is in charge of supervising the Provisional Hero License Exam. He begins by telling all the examinees inside Takoba National Stadium how tired he is and how the Commission is understaffed. Yokumiru then explains that the exam is free for all and how the first challenge works, only the first 100 students out of the 1540 gathered to take the exam who complete the first test will move onto the next one.

When the first test begins, Yokumiru is in charge of commenting on its development, announcing when an examiner passes. Shortly after starting, he receives the report that Inasa Yoarashi is the first examiner to pass after eliminating 120 examinees alone in an instant. Yokumiru is so shocked by this feat that he wakes up from his drowsiness.

In the end, Yokumiru shows the examinees their results and commends their effort, but reminds them that the licenses they have are only provisional and that they still have a lot of work ahead of them. He also gives those who failed the second phase another chance at getting their Provisional Hero Licenses through a remedial course unless they would rather take the exam again the following year in April.

Remedial Course Arc

Yokumiru is placed in charge of supervising the Remedial Exam alongside Gang Orca, who is acting as instructor to the examinees. The remedial takes place inside a sports center rented for the occasion, Yokumiru and Gang Orca also decide to make the test more "interesting."

Yokumiru addresses the 10 trainees and announces that he's still sleep deprived, while also introducing Camie Utsushimi, whom they decided to allow to take the remedial due to her being impersonated during the licensing exam, though he chalks this up to her having "foggy memories" of the event. Yokumiru then introduces Gang Orca, and the remedial starts, although Present Mic (and later Seiji Shishikura
