Full description: There are two species that have evolved; humans, and ghouls. When ghouls first emerged, humans became nervous at a threat that could easily take them over, and thus the career of a Ghoulhunter was created. It was only when humanity evolved themselves, gaining superpowers called quirks, that they had a better chance at fighting back.
The only issue is that when granted with power, it is only natural to use that power for personal gain. The newly powered humans began to create their own villains and form a seemingly separate society to that of ghouls. However, Ghoulhunters still remain and protect humans from the still looming threat of ghouls.
Humans have formed four groups - the heroes, the villains, the citizens, and the Ghoulhunters. Society has continued to function and cope with these changes, with ghouls underground and out of sight.
Kaneki Ken, a quirkless human unwillingly turned into a ghoul, was forced to change everything he knows and adapt to the life of darkness and murder he was thrown into.
Midoriya Izuku, another quirkless human, always had dreams of becoming a pro Hero like his role model All Might. But what he doesn't know is his idol's secret life of being a Ghoulhunter which, along with training to be All Might's successor and learn how to become a pro Hero, proves to be too difficult for the 15-year-old.
After the occurrence of the Dragon, a compromise has been made between the two species. Ghouls would receive the food they need to survive thanks to those willing to donate, and in return ghouls will not attack humans. Even if it had been a few years since the 'Equality Act' has been founded and upheld, it did not stop the discrimination between humans and ghouls. UA has attempted to be more accepting, allowing a select number of ghouls into their school. And just in case, a ghoul teacher to ensure the students didn't do anything too dangerous.

beginning; the point in time and space in which something starts.
Kaneki had always been grateful that ghouls and humans looked so alike. And with humans having quirks that could dramatically change a person's appearance, his white hair and black fingernails wouldn't draw much - or possibly any - attention.
So when the 29-year-old witnessed a large man who could only be the infamous All Might, a former Ghoulhunter under the guise of a pro Hero, training a teenager under the cover of darkness, nervous would be one word to describe the mix of panic churning in his stomach. The two were sworn enemies not too long ago, before he started working on the Equality Act. Now the two had to act all friendly for the public, despite knowing what one could do to the other if appearances allowed.
Being the curious type he is, Kaneki decided to edge closer to have a better look on what All Might was doing. When he got close enough, he couldn't believe his eyes.
There, standing alongside the massive Hero, was a plain-looking, green-haired teenager, shirt clinging to his surprisingly muscular body. The boy seemed to have an exhilarated look on his face, staring at the idol, but with their backs to him, Kaneki couldn't tell why.
I suppose I shouldn't worry too much on what's going on. Kaneki thought to himself, pulling himself out of his focus on the unusual scene in front of him. As long as the kid doesn't decide to bring back Ghoulhunters when he finds out.
Kaneki had heard the entrance exam for UA was later that morning. So many teenagers flocking to train their quirks and get in to the exclusive school. There was a very high possibility that the boy was pushing in some last-minute training - and with All Might as his trainer, despite how unlikely it seemed - and it seemed to him that the boy would do rather well in the exam.
It would be an interesting experience to see the potential of all the possible students, particularly as he'd be a teacher there starting on the school year. Not only teacher, but the "prestimed" Ghoul Coordinator. With any luck, he might be able to nominate a few Ghoul children he knows of to enroll. They might get past the entrance exam too, if they're lucky.
Midoriya had dreamed of when this moment would come. The moment he would receive One for All.
What he didn't expect was how the "ceremonial passing of the torch" would happen.
"Eat this." All Might directed, the usual smile plastered on his face as he held a long blond hair in his fingers. He seemed to either be staring off into the middle distance or directly at him, but the shadows over his eyes made it impossible to tell.
"Huh?" Midoriya asked in reply, alternating focus between the hair and the man it belonged to. "How will this give me your quirk?"
Now All Might seemed to stare down on him, his smile changing from proud to awkward. "You have to consume some part of my DNA." He explained, his hand not wavering. "It may seem disgusting, but it's the least disgusting option." All Might broke his gaze for a second and swallowed. "Trust me."
Midoriya gulped down his nervousness, though it didn't seem to help. He took the single golden hair out of All Might's hand and reluctantly swallowed it whole.
"Make sure it's swallowed. Hair can be a bit tricky." All Might assured, causing Midoriya to almost gag. "But once it's in the stomach, give it a couple hours to digest. Get some sleep and be well rested for the exam."
Midoriya felt around his mouth with his tongue before becoming very irritated with the whole situation. "I would know if it had been swallowed!" He snapped, before realising that it was 4:00am on the morning of the entrance exam and maybe the lack of sleep was getting to him. "I'm sorry. You're right, I should probably get some sleep."
All Might patted Midoriya on the back, hard enough to almost knock him over, but they both knew he was holding back. "Splendid, Young Midoriya. Best of luck."
Midoriya only nodded in reply, his pride and determination holding the words down his throat before they became unstuck. "Thank you."
The atmosphere of the observation room went quiet as soon as Kaneki entered. The other teachers seemed to stare at him uncomfortably, as if he was about to launch a full-scale attack. He did have to admit; after the fight with Rize, he'd become far too strong for his own good.
"Ah, Kaneki-san!" A joyful voice called out, making the whole situation far more awkward if it hadn't been Principal Nezu. "Welcome to teaching at UA."
Kaneki couldn't help but match his smile to the environment. "It's an honour to be here, sir. I hope to live up to expectations." It was implied that the expectations were positive, but with the way the other teachers were still glaring at him, it could easily be taken the wrong way.
"Tell me about those two students you recommended." Principal Nezu asked, hoping the conversation would offer the focus needed to work on the results.
"You mean Hinami and Ayato? I'm grateful you allowed them to apply." Kaneki confirmed. Even though the two were well over the age of 15, neither of them had a decent education. That had thankfully been enough to let them apply - but getting in is a different story. "Both of them have experience in battle from their time in the Aogiri Tree, the CCG rebellion, and the Dragon extermination. Ayato has more hands-on experience, whereas Hinami is more of a scout for those actually fighting."
The teachers had turned their attention to the screen, watching the entrance exam that had just started. Naturally, the two ghouls had Kaneki's full attention - the humans and their quirks were to be left to the human teachers.
"Ayato's kagune is ukaku. Very good for mid- to long-range attacks with its ability to shoot crystals, and best at short-range defense. He knows how to use it, too." Kaneki sighed exasperatedly. "Ukakus are naturally fast, but lack stamina as a consequence. The crystals may be useful against living things, but against the robots they won't do much. And that combined with the low stamina, Ayato's got a disadvantage."
Ayato had been trying to take down a 3 point robot, when a blond boy exploded it in front of him. "Get your own robot, dumbass!" He yelled to the boy.
"I will when you're able to kill one, bastard!" The blond replied angrily. Behind the screen, Kaneki could tell that the two being in the same class would be a living nightmare. The destruction of the 3 point robot may have warranted some Rescue points, but the blond's attitude told the teachers that he only cared about killing the villains.
Kaneki brought his attention to Hinami in Arena B. The two ghouls had been separated in order to prevent co-operation, and with the number of years she spent as his scout, it wasn't hard to see why. What worried him about Hinami was her inability to fight - even though she could be tremendous in battle with her chimera kagune, her only real fight was against Akira-san's mad father about 10 years ago.
The fact that Hinami had thrown her history of pacifism away for just the 10 minutes of the practical exam had to be interpreted as some form of bravery, lest be forgotten the only enemies being faced are mechanical. Naturally the humans stayed away from her, if only to stay out of the way of her offensive rinkaku and defensive ukaku. What's more, she'd tell the others of any incoming robots when she hears them. There seemed to be a few humans there with similar quirks, but Hinami's ability to discern the difference between an incoming friend or foe while in the heat of battle seemed to be more trustworthy.
Flying through the air - no, hurtling very quickly to the earth - with three of four major limbs wobbling around uselessly was neither was Midoriya expected the kickback of One for All would be, nor what he wanted the end of his exam to be. Because if he kept falling like he was, the exam would end along with his life.
Luckily, just before he hit the ground, he felt a brush of fingers on his side before he hovered only about half a metre off the ground, shattered limbs floating precariously beside him.
"Release!" He heard to his left, the sudden - but not deadly - drop not giving him enough time to see the source of the voice that saved him. But from what he could tell, it was the girl who saved him from falling earlier that day. The next sound that came out of the girl's mouth sounded like she was vomiting glitter, which he didn't want to see.
"The practical exam is now over. All entrants are to please remain where they are to check for any injuries." A voice called out over the loudspeakers.
Damnit. Midoriya cursed in his head. There's no way I'd get into UA now. I didn't even get a single point, yet I can't even stand on my own.
Midoriya didn't notice the elderly woman walk over until she gave him a loud, sloppy kiss on the forehead. "That should help speed up the healing process." She told him, letting the stretcher carefully pick him up attempting to avoid any further damage. He could feel the bones repairing, but the fatigue caused by the rapid healing caused him to battle unconsciousness until he gave in, letting the world fade to black.
Ayato had managed to destroy quite a few robots, primarily some 3 pointers, especially after Blondie had taken his kill.
Thanks to his hard skin, the most obvious sign that he had just been tearing apart robots with his hands was the dust and sweat. The humans around him had a few cuts and bruises, which made him more proud he wasn't one of them.
What pissed him off was stupid Blondie standing in a fighting stance surrounded by debris and smoke, panting the only hint that he was tired. He was feeling a rush. A murderous rush. Ayato could tell that in that one moment he wanted another robot to destroy; or even a person to kill. Ayato would have volunteered, but Blondie's quirk seemed like it would knock him around more than fight.
"Is there anyone injured who needs treatment?" The old woman called out, checking if the group had any more serious injuries. No-one needed to be treated - the old lady was only here for the sake of the moron who blew up most of his limbs and blacked out because of it.
"We're done here." Ayato grumbled, loud enough for the woman to hear. "Let's just go." He told the group, heading to the exit. And as he did, he felt the eyes of all the humans boring into his back.
Author's note: Thank you for reading the first chapter of my story! Sorry Ayato's part at the end was a bit short, but I was running out of ideas ;-;. Next chapter will be the first day of class!
