Disclaimer: I don't own My Hero Academia or anything related to it. I'm simply writing this because I thought it'd be interesting and the idea's been floating in my head for a while now and I felt like I needed to show it. Two new characters will be introduced to the existing story.
Chapter 1
10 years ago
In a dark room inside of an abandoned and secluded building,a woman and her two young children were being held hostage by a group of very powerful villains. Due to the location being deep within a forest and the time being around midnight,nobody was there to save them. The villain said,"You didn't think it'd be that easy for you to just come and take your son away,did you?"
"You bastards...you will pay for everything you have done! You treated my son like a goddamn toy and made him suffer through things that no four year old should ever go through!"
After letting out a small laugh,the villain said something."Yes I did. And I intend to do the same to your daughter. But before that I have show you something. Bring out the body."
A body was brought out by the henchmen. It was the body of the woman's husband and the father of those two children. He had beaten severely and his face was bloodied beyond recognition.
The mother,trying to catch her breath said,"You...you monsters..."
The four year old son then began shouting aggressively and his body began glowing. The main villain then realised what he had done then said,"Oh no,the kid's going to have a meltdown. We need to get out of here!" One of his henchmen then said,"Sir,what about the girl and the woman?"
"Take the girl but leave the woman behind." In their hurry,they didn't notice that the girl had hidden somewhere and then the boss asked the mother,"where's the girl!?"
The mother responded with,"Don't bother,she's long gone." The boss then punched the mother in rage and then stabbed her in the stomach with his sword and then yelled,"The girl's gone! Let's get out of here before the kid blows up. The villains then proceeded to escape the room and then the litte girl appeared out of nowhere and stood near her almost dead mother.
She said,"Mommy,let's get out of here."
"No,it's too late to save me now. Save yourself and then once this is over,take your brother away."
"...But...mommy"
"Listen to me,your brother is unstable right now. Any minute,this building will be destroyed and nobody will survive,not even the villains who are trying to escape right now. But your quirk will allow you to escape without any problem. So just do as I say and remember,your daddy and I will always love you and Akira,no matter what happens. Don't ever lose faith in heroes,don't ever lose faith in society and most importantly,don't lose faith in yourselves."
As tears started to form on her eyes,Akiko said,"Yes...mommy." And then she vanished from her sight and appeared outside the building. The mother with her last ounce of breath,said,"Akira...please...be good..." and she tried to drag herself closer to her son but before she could,she bled to death.
Only a few seconds later,an explosion occurred which led to the building collapsing. Akira managed to survive due to his quirk but was exhausted and partially buried under rubble. Akiko arrived and managed to dig him out. Akira said,"Onee-chan...what happened?"
"Don't worry about it,otouto. Let's get out of here."
"Wait,where's mommy and daddy?"
"...they're...no more"
"No. No no no no no no NO! It's my fault! If I hadn't used my stupid quirk,none of this would've happened!"
"Don't blame yourself. There was really nothing else we could do."
A mysterious,dark figure appeared and said,"You poor things."
Akiko thought this was a villain,said,"Don't come a step closer!"
"Don't worry,I'm not a villain. I'm here to help."
"How are we supposed to trust you?"
"My name is Spectre. I'm a pro hero. I know I'm too late but at least let me help you now."
"Okay...fine"
Present day
Akiko Takahashi(15) and her younger brother Akira Takahashi(14) were walking towards UA academy,the top hero school in Japan,to give their entrance exams to enter the school's hero course. Both of them had navy blue hair and bright green eyes. Akira's hair was long and extended until it barely touched his neck with bangs on the front which covered his left eye. Akiko also had long hair and it extended up until her hip. They were both pretty tall with Akiko standing at 173cm(5'8") and Akira standing at a massive(by Japanese standards) 183cm(6'0"). Both of them had a medium build. Akira was lean but chiseled(very muscular) and Akiko was thin and slender but also fit(she had muscles but it wasn't easily visible). They were both wearing a basic school uniform. Akira was wearing a plain white shirt tucked into a black pant while Akiko was wearing a plain white shirt tucked into a black skirt.
Akiko looked at her brother and comically asked,"How is it that despite being a year younger than me,you're in the same grade as me and we're both giving the entrance exam for UA?"
Akira replied in a indifferent manner,"Did you already forget? I skipped the first year of junior high."
"Oh come on! I was just trying to lighten the mood a little."
"Well,your attempt failed,like it almost always does."
"Why do you have to be such a prick all the time?"
"It's what I'm like. Also,we've arrived."
While they were talking,they noticed they had arrived at UA academy. Akiko then said in a serious tone,"Akira,let's make our parents and Spectre proud."
"You got that right."
Both of them entered the gate and then noticed a short haired girl was standing next to a green haired boy who was floating. The girl was Ochako Uraraka and the boy was Izuku Midoriya. Uraraka then entered the door and Midoriya then thought to himself,"I talked to a girl!" even though he didn't actually say a single word.
"I'm going to check on that boy to see if he's alright."
"I'd tell you that it's a waste of time but since you're not going to listen to me either way,do whatever you want."
Midoriya then tripped on the first step of the staircase towards but Akiko grabbed him and then helped him stand straight and said,"Are you alright? You seem nervous. Don't worry,it happens to all of us. I'd stay longer but the exam's going to begin not long after. Good luck!" She then joined up with her brother and they both entered the building.
Midoriya then thought,"I talked to another girl!",even though he,again,didn't say a single word.
While inside,Akira said,"I hope this practical test is challenging because that written test was so simple that I finished it and then fell asleep halfway through the time."
"I can almost agree with you. The written test was easy but it wasn't that easy. Then again,I'm not a genius like you so I guess I wouldn't know."
Then a man with spiky yellow hair who was wearing sunglasses and had a speaker around his neck entered the podium and yelled,"Welcome one and all to my live show! Everybody say hi!"
The silence was deadly. Unwavered by this the man yelled,"I've got shivers down my spine,too,listeners! All right,examinees...I'm gonna give you the low-down on how this is gonna go down! Are you ready!?"
Nobody said a single word. Akira then said to Akiko,"Well,Present Mic's introduction completely fell flat."
In front of them,they could hear a boy rambling on about Present Mic and how surprised he was to see that UA's lecturers are actually pro heroes. This boy was Izuku Midoriya. Another boy,with spiky blonde hair,whose name was Katsuki Bakugou who was sitting next to Midoriya told him to shut up.
Present Mic continued,"Now pay close attention,listeners! We'll be testing you by running a ten minute practice run at a replica city-district! You can take whatever you like! Everybody gather at the designated meeting area the presentation,ya dig?"
Akiko then looked at her brother's admit card and said,"Aw man,we're not in the same venue."
"It's their way of making sure that each candidate only fights for themselves."
Present Mic continued to tell all of the candidates about the exam and the three types of robots,each worth different amount of points,that they'll have to fight. Then a tall boy wearing glasses,stood up and asked in a very straightforward manner,"Excuse me,may I ask a question? On the handout,there are clearly four types of villains listed! Such an error would be the height of embarrassment for a top-tier national academy of UA's caliber! The reason we are seated here today is because we seek guidance on the path of becoming model heroes!" He then pointed towards Midoriya and ordered him to not be so distracting to which Midoriya apologised.
Present Mic responded,"Thanks for asking. The fourth robot is just a gimmick worth zero points. It will try to interfere in your activities every now and then but you are suggested to avoid combat with it."
The spectacled boy then said,"Thank you for answering my question. I apologise for the inconvenience" and then sat down.
Present Mic then ended his speech and told everyone to head to their venues.
Akira went to the gate for his venue and as he waited for the exam to begin,he saw that Midoriya was approaching Uraraka when he was suddenly stopped by that same glassed boy from before.
The boy whose name was Iida Tenya,asked Midoriya,"Who exactly are you,my friend? Do you intend to obstruct your fellow test takers?"
Akira thought that those words came out of nowhere and said to himself,"What a pushover."
Midoriya could only shiver after hearing those words and struggled to say a jumble of words.
Then Present Mic yelled,"And start!" but nobody responded. Then he yelled,"What's the matter,there's no such thing as a counter in a real battle! Run! Run! Consider the baton tossed!"
Everyone started running after that announcement. Everyone except Midoriya who took a few seconds to process the situation.
It didn't take long for Akira to find a few robots and destroy them with ease. All he had to do was simply touch them and this would result in their processors overheating and then the robots themselves would explode. While destroying the robots,he thought to himself,"It's good that I'm fighting robots instead of living beings. This means that I won't have to worry about collateral damage and there's no need for me to hold back. But...I'm absolutely sure that this exam can't simply just be about destroying robots."
8 minutes into the exam,Akira had managed to gather 78 points from destroying as many robots as he could find. Then later he found that Midoriya had been trapped under a three pointer robot. Akira managed to drag Midoriya out using his left hand and then destroyed the robot using his right hand. He then said to Midoriya,"If you're not going to fight back,why'd you even bother to give the entrance exam?" This made Midoriya feel a bit melancholy since he hadn't earned even a single point up until then. Akira then said,"The exams going to end in only a minute and I've managed to earn 81 points,I don't think I have to do anything now."
Midoriya was surprised at hearing that and thought to himself,"81 points! I haven't even earned a single point and this guy already managed to get 81 points!? I have to do something. Now!"
Then,the "gimmick" of a robot came out and it was far bigger and tougher than any of the previous robots and the worst part was that destroying it wouldn't award any points to the examinee who destroyed it. Akira then thought,"If this was a real battle,I wouldn't have hesitated to destroy it but since this is just an exam,I think I'm better off leaving it be."
It was then that he saw Midoriya running towards the robot instead of away from it like everyone else was doing,and then he thought,"What the hell is he doing?" He then saw Uraraka stuck under a bunch of rubble and he thought,"He's doing it to save that girl!?"
Midoriya then managed to jump several floors high and then managed to destroy the robot with only one punch. This left all of the other candidates in a state of shock and awe,including Akira. Akira thought,"That power,it looks familiar. I've definitely seen it before."
Midoriya then fell but before he touched the ground,he was stopped by Uraraka who used her anti gravity quirk to make him float for a few seconds.
Midoriya desperately dragged himself and kept saying that he needed only one point. Unfortunately the time ended and then Midoriya passed out.
All of the other students were wondering why Midoriya destroyed the zero-pointer robot and the only people who realised the real reason was Iida and Akira.
Then a short,elderly woman who was wearing a lab coat and visor came in and said,"Go home lads,I'll take it from here. Just leave it to me,boys. Here,enjoy some haribo candy,don't be shy now." and handed over some candy to a random examinee.
She walked towards Midoriya's mangled body and said,"You damaged yourself this badly using your quirk,huh? Seems your body and your quirk aren't in sync." Then she extended her lips and kissed Midoriya on the forehead. His injuries were completely gone after this.
Akira murmured,"That's Recovery Girl. Her quirk is the reason why UA is able to hold such reckless and dangerous exams. She can almost instantly heal a person's injuries by simply kissing them."
After the exam ended,Akira met up with his sister outside the school. Akiko asked him,"How'd the exam go?"
"It went very well. I managed to get 81 points."
"81 POINTS! You're pretty much guaranteed to get into UA! Of course,with your stupidly powerful energy quirk it's no surprise that you managed to get that many points."
"How'd it go for you?"
"It went well enough. I managed to get 38 points. I'm not sure if it's enough for me to pass though."
"Don't worry,it probably is. Also,remember that green haired guy who you talked with outside the door"
"Yeah. What about him?"
"He managed to destroy the zero point robot."
"Really? Everyone was running away when it appeared in our venue and nobody even dared to go near it."
"From his desperation later,I could tell he hadn't earned a single point up until then."
"Why'd he destroy that robot if he had such few points?"
"I think it was because he wanted to save that short haired girl with the anti-gravity quirk."
"Aww..That's so sweet. What happened after that?"
"He got badly injured. Thankfully,Recovery Girl came and healed him."
"That's good to hear but I'm sad to hear that he didn't get a single point which means he most probably didn't pass."
"Actually,I have a feeling that we just might see him."
"How is that?"
"You'll see. We'll just have to wait a week for the results to come."
One week later
Akira and Akiko were in their simple two bedroom apartment. Akira was playing video games in the his room while Akiko was eating ramen in the dining room. The doorbell was rung and Akira said,"Nee-san,can you get the door? I'm kinda busy playing a match in a public server."
"Really...fine,I'll get the door", Akiko then proceeded to open the door to see a mailman holding a letter with a red UA seal.
"Is this the house of and Miss Akiko Takahashi?" asked the mailman.
"Yes. It is." The mailman handed over the letter to Akiko and then left.
"What is this?" Akiko then saw the red seal on the letter and immediately realised what it was and shouted, "Otouto,come over here right now!"
Akira left his room and went towards the main door and then said,"What could be so important that you'd force me to quit in the middle of a match?"
"It's a letter from UA"
"Open it right now!"
"Your mood swings are so weird."
"Doesn't matter. Just open the letter!"
Akiko proceeded to cut open the envelope and from it,a small disc like object came out.
Out of the disc,a hologram projected out,showing the face of,none other than,the number one hero himself,All Might.
"ALL MIGHT!",the brother and sister screamed at once.
Okay,so I've decided to end the chapter here because I felt that if I made it any longer,I'd be stretching it a bit too far. This is my first ever time writing a story like so it is naturally going to be flawed. Please tell me whether you liked it or not by leaving a review. Don't hesitate to give some constructive criticism as I can use it to write better stories in the future.
