Chapter 1: Exams to Tests

Ginsa Indō let out a sigh.

He was standing with multiple people his age while they waited for the giant gates to the fake city not too far away to open. They were all waiting to go in and take on whatever challenge was there. They would crush anything in their way to achieve their goal!

This was their chance to become a hero after all.

They didn't want this chance to go to waste.

But moving away from the people as a whole, we get to one particular person there. A boy stood in a far off area, away from the others. He ran a hand through his gray hair while he slouched a bit, making it a bit hard to figure out his real height. His dark green eyes looked at the ground and noticed how his own clothes seemed to differ from others.

His current outfit was a tight fitting one with a sleeveless shirt and shorts clinging to his body, getting a few stares from girls and glares from the guys that were in the crowd. It did make him feel a bit weird, so he crossed his arms over his chest and continued to say nothing. What really stood out though were the four chains that were coming out of his shoulders and waist

Two silver chains were coming out from the top of his shoulder while another two were coming out from his hips. Each one had a small weight at the end. The two chains that were on his shoulder were extended out and wrapped around his wrists like bracelets, while the two at his hips acted like a belt. They all clanged together when he moved.

'Maybe I shouldn't have worn my workout clothes... Wonder if Nii-san'll kill me for getting this many stares from this many girls.'

Deciding to take a look around, Indō could see different kinds of people from a small guy with grapes(?) on his head to a beefy looking guy with glasses. There were some of the normal looking ones as well, but he don't think much of them.

It wasn't like he cared about what a person looked like to begin with, or that he based a person on their appearance, he just didn't think there was much to think about when it came to them. Although he did think some of non-human-like one did look cool.

"(This sucks... Why do I have to do this again...?)"

As he muttered complaints under his breath in a language different from Japanese, a man with wild, blond hair stood above them all with a big smile and a speaker on his neck. Indō didn't see him, but he for sure as heck heard him.

"AAAAAAAAAND... BEGIN!"

Indō looked around and saw most of the people looking confused.

He let out a sigh before running ahead of them all and through the opening gates.

He was determined to use all the time he had correctly.

A yell could be heard behind him,

"What's wrong!? There's no such thing as a countdown in a real fight! Run! Run!"

He rolled his eyes, but said nothing as he came up to the first "opponent."

The robot that was in the air had a two on it and charge forward, along with the other ones that also had numbers on them.

Indō found multiple ones with a two on it and nodded to himself.

He stopped in his tracks and held his arm out. One of the silver chains reacted.

One of the two silver chains on his right undid itself from his wrist and started to wrap around Indō's right arm.

Indō quickly went into action by using the second silver chain on his right hip to get on top of one of the buildings.

He made a large leap once his feet touched the building and was above the robot with a two on it. He brought his arms down and smashed the robot to the ground, earning him two points.

While he was still in the air, Indō looked towards the other robots that were flying.

The two silver chains on his left started to move.

The two silver chains on his left reached out to two more robots. As they reached out, more of the silver chains came out from Indō's shoulder and left hip.

The two silver chains that were on Indō's left side grabbed one flying robot each by wrapping around them. They quickly brought the two together and smashed them into each other, earning four more points.

Indō wrapped the second silver chain on his right side around his leg.

He used his fall to slam the two destroyed robots down, onto three other robots, each having a one on them.

"Next up..."

He moved on to the next few by jumping from one to another and quickly smashed them to the ground.

Things were made a bit difficult due to the fact he also had to dodge some long range attacks from others and the other robots flying towards him.

He didn't bother to count how many he defeated or the actual number he was getting. He was far more focused on taking them out in the time he had, nothing more, nothing less.

He did manage to catch glimpses of the other people and saw some interesting Quirks.

A girl with the side-tail seemed to be enlarging her fists before giving the robots a powerful punch. She seemed tired out as well, but conintued to move on without stopping for too long.

Then there was a guy who seemed to just be beating down the robots by using only his tail. That was actually quite impressive since that tail seemed to be his Quirk, meaning that was all he could do.

Others were interesting as well, but for different reasons. There was a brunette who seemed to make the robots float in the air before dropping them down.

Another was the glasses-wearing guy who, apparently, had boosters on his legs and used them to land powerful hits.

They were all pretty interesting to the weirdo with four chains coming from his shoulders and hips.

That being said...

Indō let out a sigh as he destroyed a robot with a three on it.

He landed on the ground and moved to the side, behind a building. He was going to take a few seconds after all of the fighting.

The four silver chains were once again wrapped around his wrists and waist, clanging with each breath he took.

His Quirk wasn't one that really took much out of him, but with how much energy he had to use to stay in the air was a bit bothersome for him.

He was about to go back and get as many points as he could, but stopped when a large rumble ran through the ground.

"(Come on! Seriously!? Why the hell is something like... You know what? I don't even care at this point.)"

Indō looked up at the giant robot that had a zero on it and sighed.

They had all been told that the one with a zero on it was just an obstacle that was suppose to get in their way, nothing more.

But...

'There's always something behind pointless things. With how large this thing is... You know what... Don't care. Don't care to find out. Let's just stick with the regular points.'

Deciding that was enough for him, Indō started to look around for more targets.

As the large robot came closer he could see the others running in the opposite direction.

He was about to follow them when he noticed something.

The brown haired girl that had been lifting things earlier was trapped under some rubble, meaning she wouldn't be able to escape that giant robot in time.

'Should I...? I mean...'

Indō let out a sigh as he started to make his way over to the girl.

"Silver-"

Before he could finish though...

"SMASH!"

It came as a major shock to Indō when a boy was suddenly in the air and flopping around.

That itself wasn't what had him shocked.

What really made Indō go wide-eyed was the fact that this same boy seemed to blow the giant robot away with a single hit.

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmn!"

After a few seconds of gaping, Indō noticed that the boy who was still flopping his limbs around was falling and didn't seem to have a way to cushion his fall.

Thinking this was where he came him, Indō started to move forward, but he stopped when he saw the brown-haired floaty girl slap the flopping boy in the face before he hit the ground. This happened so that the flopping boy would start floating as well.

The floaty girl released her Qurik, making the floppy boy and robot that she was one fall to the ground.

And then she vomited a rainbow.

"That's gross."

Shaking his head a bit, Indō was going to get back to his task.

"I guess I can-"

That was until it had ended.

"(SOB man! SOB!)"

Indō could see that everyone was now gathering up to look at the destroyed robot and the flopping boy who now lay unconscious.

Recovery Girl was soon in the scene.

Recovery Girl walked over to the floppy boy. Her lips started stretching out like a mosquito's until it was touching the floppy's body.

'That too is pretty gross. Helpful, but gross.'

Indō winced a bit when he watched the floppy boy's four limbs fix themselves due to Recovery Girl's Quirk.

It really was a strange sight for the weirdo who had four silver chains coming out of his shoulders and hips.

"(Ble... Please be a rejection! Please be a rejection! Please be a rejection! You seriously better be a letter of rejection!)"

Indō glared at the envelope that was on his desk.

Both he and his brother had gotten a letter some time after they took the test to see if they could get into the best hero school aroun.

They had promised that they would read the letters' contents on the privacy of their own rooms. They would tell each other the result then repeat it for their parents when they got back.

Right now, Indō was praying to any god that came to mind that the envelope in front of him contained a letter of rejection.

He probably knew the outcome already, but he still hoped that he would be rejected. He hoped that they found him unsuitable to be a hero.

He didn't want to meet the pro heroes that worked in that school.

So he opened the envelope quickly, like peeling off a bandaid so the pain wouldn't last too long.

He looked over the letter and the video message from the principle.

'What the...heck was that thing...' was all Indō thought as he turned to the letter. He read it over before he completely let all of the information sink in deep into his brain.

He had gotten into U.A. Academy.

He had one of the better scores.

He would be in Class 1-A.

"SOB..."

Slumping to the floor, Indō slowly crawled over to his bed before slithering under his covers and placing his head on his pillow.

"It's just a dream... No way I actually got in... It's just a dream... No way I actually got in..."

He repeated these words like a mantra while closing his eyes.

He knew, deep down, that this really happened and that he had no choice in the matter anymore.

But he decided that denial was something best for him right now.

.

While he was doing this, his brother come into the room with a grin and a letter in hand.

His brother was only a few inches taller than Indō. While Indō had green eyes, his brother had deep blue eyes. They both shared their gray hair though.

Kinsaku Gō saw what his brother was doing and let out a hardy laugh.

"Looks like I'm in 1-B. Darn shame~"

"Shut up! You probably planned it! You got into 1-B on purpose!"

"What ever do you mean, my lovely little brother?"

"Don't give me that 'I-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about' look! You went easy so that I would end up in 1-A!"

Gō let out a laugh.

He walked into his younger brother's room and made his way to his desk. He picked up the letter and read it through.

He seemed to be happy with what it said as he let out another laugh.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time, oh lovely little brother."

Taking a seat on his brother's bed, Gō patted the weird lump in blankets that was his brother.

Gō was use to his brother's bland and border attitude, he knew that Indō would be moaning and groaning about one thing or another. This just gave him something more specific to complaint about.

"Well, I suppose I could make a meat feast in celebration of this."

"Urg... Just shut up already. I wanna get some sleep now."

"(Alright, alright. I'll take my leave. Later, lil' bro.)"

Gō closed the door as he left the room.

He knew that when Indō started speaking in English that he wasn't particularly happy. Either that or he was happy, too happy that is.

Gō just chuckled while making his way downstairs. He figured he would watch some TV until their parents got home.

That would be when he would have to do something akin to ripping off a bandaid.

"The first day~"

"It won't be so bad, lil' bro. I'm sure you'll make some great friends in your class."

"That's not the issue~"

The brothers walked onto the U.A. campus with the older one beaming while the younger one looked like his soul was coming out of his body.

Gō looked around and saw the other students that were making their way to their classes. Some looked normal while others looked odd. One guy had a tail while another looked like a bird man.

"Hey, I've been thinking... Why do you think they didn't come home last night?"

"(Who knows and who cares. It at least helped up deal with things for today. We were able to actually leave without them knowing the results.)"

"Now, now." Seeing that his brother was now mad instead of just irritated, Gō let out a sigh. "If you calm your tits then I'll get you some high quality meat."

Indō visibly perked up at this.

His whole appearance went back to an indifferent one at the mention of his favorite type of food.

Gō couldn't help the laugh that came out when he saw the change. He knew exactly how to deal with his brother and he always loved to mess around with the younger one.

The two finished their walk in silence as they made their way to the two classes, that were right next to each other. Each one had a large door leading into the room with their class numbers way above the ground.

Gō gave a small wave before entering his class.

Indō did the same and entered the room.

When he got he in went straight for some random desk, ignoring the people that were already there.

He sat down and put his bag down before turning his head to the window with a bored look.

'Damn it all. Why did I actually have to get in? It isn't like I have some lofty and noble goal that I need to achieve. Heck, I'm taking a spot that mostly likely would go to Nii-san. Yeah. That's suppose to make me feel better.'

Indō let out a sigh.

He started fiddling around with his shoulders a bit.

He was wearing the mandatory uniform for the school, but that came with some issues. The two silver chains on his shoulders were no longer wrapped around his wrists, rather those two silver chainswere taken back into his body, only leaving the two small weights at the ends to stick out of his shoulders. Two holes had been made at the hips of his pants for the other two silver chains to go through the belt loops.

"It always feels so uncomfortable to put them back in..."

As Indō muttered to himself, something else was going on.

A group of three boys started up a conversation.

Well, it was more like one if them being scolded while not caring about said scolding.

Indō, hearing the noise, turned to the group and easily recognized two of the three boys there.

'So Floppy Boy and Crazy Calves are also here, huh. Who the heck is the blond guy though?'

Indō decided to just ignore them in favor of looking around at the other students in the room.

He saw some familiar faces, but said nothing to anyone. It wasn't like he knew any if them after all.

"If you're just going to chit-chat then get out."

Indō once again turned his head, but this time seeing Floppy Boy, as well as Floaty Girl, looking down at something.

The thing they were looking at crawled in the room before standing upright. It turned out to be a shaggy-looking man.

"It took you 8 seconds to quiet down," the man said. "Time is precious. You lot don't know much, do you?"

Indō let out a small sigh.

"I'm Aizawa Shouta. Pleased to meet you."

Digging into the sleeping bag he came in, Aizawa pulled out a P.E. outfit and shoved it in front of the floppy boy.

"Put these on, quickly."

Indō stared at the P.E. outfit he had to put on. He wasn't too sure how he was going to do this without ripping the shoulders and hips from the shirt and pants.

He glanced around and saw the guy with the tail having a similar issue while Crazy Calves was just fine with the pants covering his legs.

'Damn. I'll just keep the shoulders in and let the hips hang out... Man, that sounded so wrong...'

Letting out a small sigh, Indō started to get changed.

As he was doing so he could hear two of the other boys getting some small talk in. It was the blond with a black streak through his hair and the red haired guy that Indō had seen in the class.

Crazy Calves and Floppy Boy also seemed to be talking a bit.

'He knows I'm bad at judging people's personalities... So then why did he think I could make friends so easily?'

All of this felt like a bit of a pain for Indō.

Indō let out a long sigh as their teacher explained that they wouldn't be going to the opening ceremony because he just didn't want to go, and that they didn't have time for it.

He didn't really care much since the ceremony was probably like any other.

"Softball throwing. Standing long jump. 50-meter dash. Endurance running. Grip strength. Side-to-side stepping. Upper-body training. Seated toe touch. You all did this in middle school. Your standard no-Quirks-allowed gym tests. This county still insists on prohibiting Quirks when calculating the averages of those records. Well, that's negligence on the part of the department of education."

Aizawa tossed a ball to the blond boy from before while asking,

"How far could you throw in middle school?"

"67 meters."

"Great. Now try it with your Quirk. Do whatever you want. Just don't leave the circle."

The blond did some stretched as he got ready to throw the ball.

With a yell of "DIE!" spiky blond threw the ball while using an explosion to give it an extra push and send it flying.

Everyone was awed by the display, but questioned the shout.

"It's important for us to know our limits. That's the first step to figuring out what kind of heroes you'll be."

Aizawa showed the score of the throw as the other students were talking about it all.

"Hm. This doesn't seem like much," Indō said as he looked around.

Indō decided to tune out whatever the teacher was saying and opted to just looking around.

He may have been doing this lazily, but he was still observant enough to notice a certain someone by the school building.

When he actually did start paying attention he noticed that their teacher now had a dark look on his face, as opposed to the bored and tired look from before.

"You're hoping to become heroes after three years here...and you think it'll be all fun and games?" He looked at them all with a look at made some of them shudder. "Right. The one with the lowest score across all eight events will be deemed 'hopeless'...and will be expelled."

Most of the students were shocked to hear this. One of them was floppy boy. Then there were some that still seemed calm even after this announcement. A dual-colored hair guy fell into this category.

Indō visibly perked up at this.

He thought this would be his chance to leave the school and not deal with it at all. He was already working in how he could mess things up for himself.

The ones who were more freaked out by the statement started yelling about it all being unfair and how he couldn't expell one of them just for failing this test. Aizawa didn't bother to really listen to every complaint.

Indō let put a long and loud sigh. This seemed to get everyone's attention since they turned to him, some looking irritated while others just waited.

"What are you people complaining about? Isn't it a little unfair that the rest of us have to hear your complaints? Isn't it a little unfair that some of you have greaaaaaat Quirks that could easily pass this? Fairness is just trash, really. Is it fair that you don't pick what family you're born in? Is it fair that you can't pick your Quirk? Is it fair that you got in when there are probably people with better Quirks and who are more skilled than you lot? Now shut up and deal with this."

Everyone there stared at Indō, some being more obvious than others.

He had been quiet since the very start, one of the only ones. That being the first thing he said was something that may or may not have given the others the wrong impression of him.

Although he wouldn't care.

Seeing that all eye were on him, Indō slowly brought his arms up and crossed them over his chest.

They took in what he said and found that it was true, for the most part. The ones who had been complaing before quickly shut their mouths.

"That was an interesting way to put it. At least you understand something like that."

"Hm. I'm a plain speaking person who believe in plain speak. That's all."

Getting everyone's attention back to him, Aizawa finished with "That's Plus Ultra" and began the testing.

"This sucks..."

Gō chuckled when he saw his younger brother fall onto his bed like a sack of rocks.

He had wondered where his brother and his class had been during orientation, but now he was debating on whether he should be a good brother and leave it alone or just ask to annoy Indō.

He chose the latter.

"So~ How was your first day at school~?"

Indō moved his head to the side to glare at his brother.

Once the testing began Indō had already planned out how he was going to fail each and very one of the tests. That didn't go so well though since his personality was the kind that wouldn't let him purposely fail. This meant he ended up doing rather well and ended up in the top ten of the whole class.

During the 50-Meter Dash he had used used his silver chains to launch himself to the other side. In the Grip Strength the silver chains had wrapped around his hand and increased the strength. He had repeated his throw of himself during the Standing Long Jump. He hadn't been able to do much for the Side-Stepping, but still got above average. The Softball Throwing had been done by once again wrapping the silver chains around his arm. He hadn't used the silver chains for the Seated Toe Touch and Endurance Running and still got above average. He had been use to working out. He did have more use for the silver chains during the Upper-Body Training though.

He had cursed like there was no tomorrow on the inside while giving off a murderous aura on the outside. In the end he had just sighed and went along with it.

"Shut up. Not only was I planning on getting kicked out but Silver Chains decided to be an ass and start working on its own. I ended up getting a good score on my class and now I'm really stuck in the class."

Gō had to cover his mouth with his hand to hide his laugh. It was truly amazing how much Indō hated that things ended up well for him instead of going his way.

After getting over his laughing fit, Gō walked over to Indō's small table in the middle the room and fixed the few papers scattered on it.

"By the way, is there anyone interesting in your class?"

Indō groaned at yet another question. He knew that his older brother was just asking to irritate him but he never found it in himself to not answer.

When he had been doing the tests he had definitely seen some people that he was quickly interested in. They had been in the top parts of the class, but that had just been by chance.

"Yeah. There's Crazy Calves that I told you about after the Entrance Exam for one. He's got a pretty nice ass. Especially when running. There's also Big Ponytail. Her boobs are a good size."

"Oh perverted little brother. I was talking Quirk-wise."

"I'm a plain speaking person who believes in plain speaking. I wasn't going to lie about how sexy they look. By the way, their Quirks are also something I've taken interest in. Well, at least Big Ponytail's."

Indō turned around in his bed so that he was now on his stomach. Sleeping sideways was too difficult with two silver chains coming from his hips. He turned his head to face the wall before mumbling,

"(I'm going to sleep now. Wake me up tomorrow, will ya.)"

Gō simply rolled his eyes and headed for the door.

His brother plainly wanted him to leave now.

"Night."
