'This is it. I'm on my way to becoming a pro' Daniel "Danny" Fenton stood in front of the greatest high school in Japan, U.A. It was Danny's dream to go to the school that the world's number one hero went too. Danny knew he had to do his best to get to the top, or else all that time Jazz spent on cramming Japanese etiquette and other subjects into his brain would be wasted. He had to do well, to prove himself, to make his family proud of him; that is if he could find his classroom.
Danny walked down the halls of U.A, trying to find class 1-A. He considered using his quirk to turn invisible and just fly around at hundreds of miles an hour, but he wasn't going to risk being caught. He's lucky that Jazz made him come to school early, or else he would be late. After many minutes of searching, Danny was standing in front of a door labeled "1-A". He hesitates opening the door. These are the people he is going to spend the next 3 years with, in an unfamiliar country away from his friends and family.
Danny started thinking about Amity Park, about every time he was thrown into a locker by Dash, about being humiliated by the A-listers, about abandoning Sam and Tucker, about leaving everything behind. And that's when Danny noticed a boy about to run into him. Danny's reflex was to turn intangible, causing the boy to phase through him. The boy turned to look at him, realizing what had just happened and began spitting out apologies at a million miles an hour.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry, I wasn't really looking where I was going. I was just trying to find my class but I wasn't paying attention to what was in front of me. I'm just glad your quirk let me pass through you, can your quirk allow you to pass through things? The possibilities of a quirk like that…" The boy started to mutter and Danny couldn't understand any of it. This was Danny's new classmate, so he wanted to make a good impression. An introduction shouldn't be too hard, right?
"Hey, yeah that's great, um I'm Fenton Daniel nice to meet you?" Danny hoped he didn't screw up a simple introduction. The boy stopped muttering and looked at him.
"O-oh I'm sorry! I-I do that sometimes, it's a bad habit. M-my name is Midoriya Izuku, it's nice to meet you." Yes! He didn't screw up! 'Now continue the conversation, idiot!'
"So you're in 1-A?" Midoriya nodded.
"Yeah" Midoriya opened the door. The first thing that Danny noticed was a kid with ash blonde hair with his feet on his desk and a taller guy with dark hair and glasses scolding him.
"Don't put your feet on the desk!" The ash blonde guy tisked.
"Huh?"
"Don't you think that's disrespectful to the U.A upperclassmen and the people who make the desk?"
"Nope. What junior high did you go to, you damn extra" the dark haired boy placed a hand over his chest.
"My name is Tenya Iida and I attended Somei Private Academy" the blonde smirked.
"Somei? So you're a damn elite? I'll have fun crushing you" Danny had a double take. 'This guy was allowed into the hero course?" It was then that the blonde and the dark haired boys noticed Danny and Midoriya.
"You're…." The whole class turned their heads to the door, Danny recognized some of them from the practical exam. Iida made his way to the door to greet the duo.
"I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is-" Danny sighed.
"Yeah, we heard. My name is Fenton Daniel" Midoriya rubbed the back of his neck.
"I'm Midoriya. Nice to meet you, Iida" Iida turned his focus toward the green haired boy.
"Midoriya, you realized that there was more to the practical exam, didn't you? I had no idea… I misjudged you!" Iida looked away, it seemed to be from shame "I hate to admit it, but you are better than me" Danny was confused, what had happened at the practical exam? Danny looked at Midoriya and figured it wasn't his business. Danny split off to find his seat before the teacher arrived. He ended up sitting next to guy with a bird head. Danny looked back at the front and noticed that Iida, Midoriya, and a girl with brown hair looking like they've just seen a ghost. Someone then walked into the room, a man with black clothing, stubble, and a scarf.
"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa" It seemed the entire class (save a few) had been shocked at this statement. Aizawa pulled out U.A's gym uniform out of his yellow sleeping "I know it's sudden, but put this on and go out onto the field"
After about 10 or so minutes, all of class 1-A arrived outside. There were many whispers about what Aizawa wanted them to do, but Danny had a pretty good idea. When they arrived at the field, Aizawa told them that they were doing a quirk assessment test.
"What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" The brown haired girl from earlier exclaimed.
"If you're going to become a hero, you don't have time for such events" Aizawa stated. The class (except a few) just stood there shocked. "U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are, it's how the the teachers run their classes" He pulled a device and showed it to the class. "Youve done this in junior high. Fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your quirk." Aizawa turned toward the ash blonde haired kid. "Bakugou, you finished first in the practical exam, correct? In junior high, what was your best softball throw?" The blonde haired kid, now known as Bakugou, thought for a split second.
"67 meters"
"Now try doing it with your quirk" Bakugou walked to the circle. "You can do whatever, as long as you don't leave the circle. Hurry up. Give it your all." Bakugou stretched before launching the ball high into the air.
"Die!" Danny choked on his spit. 'Seriously'. When the ball landed, Aizawa looked back at the device.
"Know your own maximum. That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero" He showed the class Bakugou's results, 705.2 meters. The class lost it. Danny looked around at his classmates
"750 meters? Really?" A blonde with a black streak said.
"This looks like fun!" A girl with pink hair clapped her hands together excitedly.
"We can use our quirks as much as we want! As expected from the hero course!" A plain looking guy exclaimed.
"'Looks like fun'? You have three years to become a hero, will you have that attitude the whole time?" Aizawa smirked. "Whoever comes in last place will be judged with no potential and will be expelled." This statement caused the entire class to gasp. 'On the first day?!' "We are free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students. Welcome to U.A.'s hero course."
The first test was a 50-meter dash, pretty easy for a person who could fly at about 180 KPH. Danny's score ended up being 0.11 seconds, the fastest in the class. The second test was one of Danny's worst ones, only having a grip strength of 60 kg. The standing long jump was pretty easy, considering he could fly. Repeated side steps was Danny's worst test, he couldn't use his quirk for this test. The ball throw was also easy, Danny got 705.3 meters by firing an ectoblast like Bakugou fired his ball (Danny may or may not have given Bakugou a smug look).
When it was Midoriya's turn for the ball throw, the class discovered that Aizawa is Eraser Head. Danny cannot lie and say that he wasn't a little surprised. After that the rest of the tests went by, and Danny getting decent scores. By the time the quirk assessment test was over, he was running out of energy.
"Alright I'll tell you the results quickly. It takes too much time telling each of you verbally, so I'll show you your results all at once. The person with the lowest score gets expelled" Aizawa then put up a screen with all of their names and total scores.

Danny looked over to Midoriya, who was currently looking at his clenched fist 'Last place is expelled…'. Even though Danny wasn't an empath like Jazz or his mom, he could feel the green haired boys sadness. Aizawa then turned off the screen.
"By the way, I lied about the expulsion" What. "It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your quirks." WHAT. Danny felt relieved that he had been lying, but at the same time it wasnt a nice thing to do. It seemed to scare the living crap out of Midoriya.
"Oh, you didn't know? I thought it was obvious" the girl with dark hair stated.
"That was a little nerve-wracking, huh?" The plain guy asked the (probably dyed) red head.
"I'll take on a challenge anytime!" The plain guy turned to Danny.
"What did you think?" Danny actually didn't know what to answer.
"It was a challenge alright, but it wasn't cool to lie…" The two nodded. After Aizawa was done talking, he dismissed the class. Everyone changed out of their gym uniforms and back in to their regular school uniforms. Danny then finally got to put some names to faces. Kirishima was the (probably dyed) redhead and is a guy who just loves tough/manly things Danny concluded. Sero is the plain looking guy, he has tape dispensers for elbows and that to Danny sounds pretty good. Kaminari is the blonde with the black, he doesn't seem to be the brightest but is very outgoing. Danny hasn't gotten a chance to meet everyone else yet, but he is excited to finally be making (hopefully) friends.
English was in the morning, but Danny wasn't allowed to take it (he is from America after all). Lunch was of course in the main cafeteria, apparently the lunch hero Lunch Rush worked there. In the afternoon there is Hero Basic Training, the class Danny is currently sitting in.
"I am….. coming through the door like a normal person!" All Might. All fucking Might is their Hero Basic Training teacher. This was probably the greatest day in Danny's life to be finally seeing All Might in person. He was smiling like a toddler, but he didn't care because ALL MIGHT IS HIS TEACHER! 'Suck on that Dash!'. Wait. HE'S WEARING A COSTUME FROM THE SILVER AGE! 'Pay attention Fenton!'. "I teach Hero Basic Training. It is a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. You'll take the most units of this subject!" All Might started flexing "Let's get right into it! This is what we'll be doing today-" dramatic pause "Combat training!".
