Chapter 1: Entrance Exam
Midoriya Izuku is at the front of UA University – the best Hero School in Japan. While he admired the buildings he shoved aside.
“Outta my way, Deku!” a rude high school student who shoved the green student with blond hair said. That guy is Bakugo Katsuki. He was Izuku's childhood friend; but after Bakugo got his Quirk and Izuku didn't get his, causes the former to bully and torment the latter through all the school years. However, Bakugo did stop tormenting Izuku on the start on High School's final year.
That day is when Izuku personally met his idol, All Might. At first, the idol told Izuku that he isn't hero material because Izuku hasn't been training – like body building or martial arts – all those years. All Might did have Sir Nighteye as his sidekick and his Quirk isn't combat oriented, so Sir had to do martial arts. No hero is one trick pony.
However, after witnessing Izuku trying to save Bakugo from the slime villain that escape from All Might's bottles. Both Izuku and All Might blame themselves for that incident, but that's in the past. Sure Izuku got scolded for attacking the villain. All Might on the other hand praised Izuku for his bravery, saying Izuku can really be a hero.
All Might revealed his secret Quirk, known as the One for All; a quirk so powerful that it originated back when Quirks first started out from generations of different users. He couldn't inherit the Quirk right away as it was too powerful for Izuku's frail body. All Might had to train him, by cleaning Dagobah Beach – a once beautiful beach turned into a junkyard. After ten months of training hell, Izuku's body is ready to inherit the #1 hero's quirk.
By eating All Might's hair.
Now, Izuku is here; and after Bakugo entered the building, he followed suit only to trip and was going to fall face first on the ground. He shut his eyes, mentally apologizing to his mother and All Might and saying that he will die. When he open his eyes, he was seeing the ground. Odd, he would of hit the ground by now.
“Oh sorry,” a voice called out sounding like a girl, “Didn't mean to use my Quirk on you, but you needed help.”
Izuku looked behind him and saw a girl with brown hair and blush cheeks. She also had pads on her finger tips. He then look down as he was floating. It must be her Quirk. While to boy began to panic, the girl tapped her fingers together. Izuku landed on his feet.
“Must be bad luck falling in front of your dream university,” the girl commented while the boy nodded, “Better get in before we miss out on the entrance exam. See ya later!” She said as she waved at him while entering the building, leaving the boy standing there with his face red.
“She is pretty,” Izuku thought.
“Yeah, pretty alright~” another voice said sounding like a more mature woman. Izuku shrieked and saw a pro hero behind him. The Pro-Hero is known as R-Rated Heroine: Midnight. She was looking at the boy – with his face fully red – with a smile and arms crossed. “Someone is a huge fan of lil-ol' me I take it,” the heroine teased, “But the girl has a point, you will miss out of the entrance exam if you're still standing here.”
“R-r-right!” Izuku exclaimed as he rushed in the building, “T-thank you, Midnight!”
The pro heroine only giggled in response.
As soon as Izuku was inside he finally noticed something.
“Did I say that the nice girl I met is pretty in front of Midnight out loud?” he asked himself.
After the written exam – which Izuku knows he aced it – he was in the stadium for the practical exam with all the other participants. Bakugo is sitting next to him. After the explanation from Present Mic, as well as a young man with glasses commented that there are four types of enemies than three and scolding Izuku for distracting other participants – causing some participants, especially Bakugo, to laugh at him.
Fortunately for Izuku, he and Bakugo are in separated sites – from sites A to G. Presumably to prevent fellow high school students from helping each other, as Bakugo suspects. Izuku went to one of the busses – heading to site B – and sat in an empty seats. He sat on the window side seat.
“Is this seat taken?” Izuku jumped when he heard a voice next to him asked. He looked at the speaker who is a girl with orange hair and a side ponytail. Izuku looked around, seeing that most of the seats are taken. He nodded at the girl. “Thank you,” she replied as she sit down next to him.
“Y-y-you're welcome,” Izuku stuttered. His face is red.
It took ten to fifteen minutes – which to Izuku is hours due to sitting next to a girl. As soon as everyone is out, Izuku has looked around. He spotted the same girl from the entrance of UA.
“Oh, the nice girl from the entrance,” Izuku muttered, “I better thank her.” He was about to talk to her.
“What do you think you are doing?” A voice demanded, Izuku looked back and it was the boy with glasses who lectured him.
“I-I-I – uh – well,” Izuku tried to answer while looking at the nice girl, which the glasses boy noticed.
“Are you trying to sabotage another participant?” the boy accused, “That there is no hero material.” Some of the other participants laugh at Izuku.
“Hey, leave him alone!” The red-head girl demanded, “This boy might wanted to thank the girl he was eyeing on.” She then looked at Izuku and asked, “Am I right?”
“Y-yes,” Izuku replied, “H-how did you–”
“You were muttering about trying to thank a nice girl at the UA entrance; who might be her,” the red-head girl kindly replied, she then pointed at the nice girl – who was witnessing the drama.
“Did I– Of course I did,” Izuku asked but reluctantly admitted.
“Ha, what a loser!” “Looks like there's one less participant I can be afraid of.” “He looks like he's going to wet himself!”
The red-head girl glared at the participants who making nasty comments causing them to back down. Heck, the glasses boy was about to lecture the participants as well.
“Alright, little listeners!” Present Mic announced from a tower, “You see those Medical Tents on your right?” All the participants looked at the tents and robots with Red Crosses. “If any of you see another listener get injured, we encourage you to bring them there. The medical bots will take care of the rest.”
“I see, so that means other participants won't mistake the medical bots for enemies,” Izuku muttered, “It might also give a test to see if others willing to save others as we are trained for heroes.”
“This listener gets it!” Present Mic replied pointing at Izuku – who eyes widen as deer caught in headlights. “Now enough dilly-dalling; Begin!” As the gates open, “What are you waiting for? There's no count downs in real life! GO! GO! GO!”
As soon as the gates open, every participant rushed into site B. Izuku is lagging behind. He rushed through every road and alley way possible, but he sees robots destroyed. One three pointer came out of an ally way and try to attack Izuku, but a laser bean destroyed it.
“Oui, another on for meh~” a French participant shouted, “We make a great team, with you being a distraction! Ta-ta!” the Frenchie fled.
“Okay…” Izuku said, and went back to search for more robots.
He then rush down the alley way. He saw another robot – a one pointer – ready to ambush someone. That someone is the red-head girl carrying an injured participant. She was going to try to punch the robot, but Izuku rush and punch the robot. The robot didn't get destroyed but it looked like it got shut down.
“What the–?” Izuku asked, but saw a button that has said “shut down” on it. He must of punched it by accident. “Uh, I hope that counts as something.”
“I'm sure it did,” the red-head girl replied, “They must have those buttons installed on these robots, so any one without a strength or a destructive Quirk can take them down.” She then gives a thumbs up to Izuku and said, “Thanks for the save, by the way! I take this participant to the medical tents!” She then ran to the gate.
“Y-you're welcome!” Izuku replied. “I replied to a girl,” Izuku cheered, only to realize and cried, “I only have one point!” He then rush more to the site to find more robots.
“This years participants are very top potential this year,” a bear-mouse-dog – Dean Nezu – commented, “From speed, strength, sensor, practical, interesting, and powerful Quirks,” showing TV screens with boy with glasses, red pointy hair boy with a Quirk to make him hard – shut up – a tall boy with six arms is looking around, a girl with vines as her hair using that said hair to stop robots, a boy with a bird head has his shadow attacking other robots, and Bakugo standing at the destroyed robots with a grin on face respectively. The dean continued, “But the most important part is some of the participants are actually trying to be heroes.” Seeing a TV with Izuku hitting another one pointer – that was about to attack a participant with purple hair – while the red-head girl was carrying another participant to the medical tents. The girl went back in after setting the injured participant to the medical bots.
Yagi Toshinori - AKA All Might, in his skeleton self – is looking at Izuku with worry in his face. He even looked at the green heads score as he's still on the single digits of the villains score. The rescue would count to at least five points, but not enough to get enrolled in UA.
“Worried about that boy, Number One Hero?” Kayama Narumi - AKA Midnight - asked.
“Was it that obvious?” Toshinori replied, Kayama nodded with an 'mmmhmm'. The number one hero just sighed, “I'm just not sure what will happen with Young Midoriya. He hasn't used his quirk yet, his score is still low and time is running out.”
“Now, now,” Kayama reassured, “I'm sure he will have a score high enough for General Education. If he does a great job in the sports festival, he will get a position in Shota's class after expelling a student or two.”
“I heard that!” Aizawa Shota - AKA Eraser Head - shouted out.
“I know~” Kayama replied, “Though he seems to lacking in social skills…”
“He's seem to be better in talking to others,” Toshinori argued, “Still a little stutter from here and there, but –”
“All Might, during your training with your successor; has he talked to a girl before?” Kayama interrupted. Toshinori was about to answer, “His mother doesn't count,” she added. The number one hero deflated much more.
“Looks like we are approaching the two minute mark,” Nezu announced, “Power Loader, release the Zero Pointers!”
“Got it,” Maijima Higari – AKA Power Loader – responded while pressing a red button.
“Only five points,” Izuku dejectedly said, “There's no other robot spotted,” Izuku looked around seeing most robots destroyed. He got lucky that he shut the three pointer off before attacking the boy with glasses. The glasses boy thanks Izuku afterwards.
“Two-Minutes left!” Present Mic shouted.
“Crap I'm running out of time!” Izuku shouted. He then felt a rumble on the floor. “What's going on?” He looked around and saw a giant robot at the distance. “Holy All Might! That's a zero pointer!?”
“I'm outta here!” “Scatter!” “Run away! Run away!”
“Hey, one of the participants is trapped!” a girl shouted out. Izuku was looking at the source of voice. It was the red-head girl using her quirk – to get her hands big – to try to lift a building part that was trapping the nice girl. He looked around on why other participants aren't helping. He ran to the huge robot. Unknown to him , his veins are glowing red with green lightning starting to shock from his body.
“What's going on?” “Power Loader! Do something!” “I'm trying! That zero pointer is ignoring my commands!”
“I got to stop this!” Toshinori said as he started to get to Site B.
“Wait,” Nezu commanded, “Look over there!”
The Pro Heroes looked at the screen with Izuku running towards the zero pointer. The boy's veins are glowing red and is covered by green sparks.
“Young Midoriya!” Toshinori shouted!
Izuku leaped to the air, leading to the robot's head.
“I won't let you hurt anyone!” Izuku shouted, “Smash!” The boy has punched the zero pointer's right clean off. Causing it to stumble backwards. “I did it! I save them!” Izuku is falling, “Oh crap! I didn't think to save myself!” He felt his right arm and legs feel like in pain and jelly. “My arm and legs are damaged!” Izuku is falling closer to the ground. “I still have my left arm! Maybe I should use it to give myself a little soft landing. It's a long shot, but I –”
“Gotcha!”
Izuku was interrupted by landing on large hand. Izuku looked at the red-head girl – who was floating in the air. There was the nice girl – who was on a floating rubble piece – not far behind. She then lead the flying duo to the ground.
“Release,” the nice girl commanded touching her finger tips together. That cause the red-head girl to land on her feet. The nice girl was starting to feel nauseous started to throw up.
“Are you okay?” the red-hair girl asked Izuku.
“Other than my limbs, yes,” Izuku answered in pain, "Though what about the other girl?"
"I'll get to her after you are sent to the medical tents at the entrance," the red-head replied, she then shouted at the boy with glasses, “Hey you, get this participant to the medical tents right away! I'll take care of the other one after she's done puking!”
“Will do!” the boy replied as he begin to carry Izuku from the red-head girl, “Hang on tight,” the boy warned.
“Wait, I need more points,” Izuku complained.
“With your injuries, I highly doubt you will get more!” the glasses boy replied, “I'm sure the judges will give you something for your heroic act back there.” He began to speed to the entrance gates, while Izuku is holding on for his dear life.
At the gates the medical bots put Izuku – who just passed out – on the stretcher. The red-head girl then carried the nice girl to the medical tents as well.
“Times up!” Present Mic announced, “To every injured listener, don't worry! Recovery Girl is on her way.”
“Holy Crap!” “Did ya'll see that!” “He just took the robot out with one punch!” “He also injured himself by doing that!”
“Thank Nezu…” Toshinori sighing in relief, “He actually used the Quirk!”
“Yeah, did you know it would injure him?” Kayama asked in skepticism.
“Honestly, it would hurt when first used,” Toshinori answered, “It didn't hurt that bad.” Kayama raised her eyebrow.
“Good thing, Shuzenji is heading to site B first,” Nezu cheerfully said. “Your successor will be healed in no time.”
Aizawa just stared at the number 1 hero and then Izuku being treated by Shuzenji Chiyo – AKA Recovery Girl.
“He's going to be a problem child in my class, isn't he?” Aizawa muttered at himself.
“Did you see that?” “That dude had a powerful Quirk!” “But he said he needed more points, so he just wasted it on a zero pointer.”
“They don't get it,” the boy with the glasses thought, “The judges will look at this and rank it for the reward for heroism. I can't believe I didn't think of that.” He than spotted Present Mic who was hounded by the two participants that Izuku save from earlier with another one heading towards him as well. “I better let Present Mic know that it would be a disgrace for someone like this kid to be rejected for saving someone he has yet met.”
“Alright, dearies,” a elder nurse greeted in, “I'm here to heal injuries.”
“Ah, it's Recovery Girl~” the French participant shouted out, “She heals everyone with her Healing Quirk. Ze most rarest Quirks out there!”
“Alright, let's get started,” Recovery Girl said as she went to her first patient of the day. It was Izuku. “Did that buffoon told this kid to be careful of his Quirk?” the healing heroine muttered. She then kissed the boy causing his body to heal.
Izuku woke up.
“Where am I?” Izuku asked, “Did I pass? Why do I feel so tired?” he then started to yawn.
“Here, eat these,” Recovery Girl said as she handed Izuku some gummies, “Just not all at once. You better not be a repeated visitor if you pass.” She than did the rest to the other participants, including the nice girl.
Izuku was eating a gummy, looking down as he failed.
“Hey,” the red-head girl greeted to Izuku, “Thanks for saving me and Uraraka-san earlier.”
“I-i-it's not a big deal,” Izuku replied, “M-my feet just move on their own.” He bashfully then asked, “U-Uraraka-san?”
“It's me, Uraraka Ochako” the nice girl – named Uraraka – greeted herself, “I guess we're even now.” Izuku looked at the girl wryly. She then giggled, “You know, that I stop you from falling at the front of the entrance this morning.”
“Oh,” Izuku replied, “I-I guess …” He then scratches his head, “A-although, y-you and the 0-other girl save me, so I-I-I still owe you both s-something,” he muttered.
“If that's the case, I owe you something as well,” the red-hair girl replied, “You were muttering again.” Izuku was about to speak up, but she continued, “You save me twice in the site while I saved you once.” She then chuckled, “How about we get something to eat, my treat.”
“That's a great idea, Kendo-chan,” Uraraka said, “What do you think, er – what's your name?”
“M-Midoriya I-Izuku,” the boy blurted out and then stuttered, “I-I-I-I don't know if you two–”
“Come now, Midoriya-kun,” the girl – named Kendo – countered, “It will be fine. Oh, where are manners? My name is Kendo Itsuka.”
“O-okay, I-I g-guess,” Izuku reluctantly replied. He then got up and walk with both Uraraka and Kendo. Some male participants looked at Izuku in envy. The participant with the glasses just smiled.
“Lucky bastard…” “Even if he doesn't get in Hero-Course, he still won in the end.” “I wanna be in that guy's position.”
In the dark room, a grown woman in a tank-top and pajama shorts is typing on her lap top on her bed. She has long black hair and wide glasses.
“Hmph, looks like these do-gooders got lucky,” she muttered.
“My hacker, how was the sabotage at the UA practical exam today?” the man with chap skin and white hair in black shirt and black pants asked as he entered the woman's room.
“Terrible leader,” the hacker replied, “What would of ended in a tragedy just had to foiled by some knight of shining armor with self-damaging power.”
“Really?” the leader asked, as he looked at the footage. He saw an NPC with green hair just launch off to attack a giant robot that was going to run over two NPCs. He then saw the green hair blast the robots head off. What intrigued him was the NPC had a broken arm and two broken legs as he seen those limbs wobbling as the boy fell to his doom. There would have been a splat if he didn't see two of the damsel NPCs working together on saving the falling NPC. “Hmph, looks like they got lucky,” the leader sneered, “But luck won't last forever, All Might! I will destroy you and this shitty society! Everyone will see these so-called heroes the same way we have!”
“Jeez, Tenko. Drama queen, much?” the hacker asked in snark.
“You're lucky you are my sister, Hana,” Tenko sneered, “Otherwise I would of dusted you by now!”
“Love you, too,” Hana snickered, “I want to see my nieces and nephews before I die~” Tenko just grumbled.
