Chapter 1: Hiro Koun: Origin

"SHIT!" I couldn't help but scream out, many turning there gazes towards me. They probably saw was a fourteen year old kid sprinting like a bat out of hell, any idea why, probably not. His copper hair messy and untamed, with his clothes equally bunched up and wrinkled, a white scarf fluttered around his neck as he ran. Thought instead of the expression most would expect to find on the face of the teen, they instead had to double take at the face splitting grin instead of the expected worry.

'Hi, my name's Hiro Koun. And right now I'm currently late for the U.A. entrance exam.' I quickly skidded around a street lamp changing my direction, the building I had been searching for finally appeared ahead of me. Seeing the U.A. symbol finally put some hope in me as I let out a sigh of relief at still seeing people entering the grounds of the famous school.

"Oh, thank God. If I had missed this Kendo would have beaten me within an inch of my life." I almost cried as I continued my pace towards the crowded entrance.

Upon reaching the grounds I noticed many my age entering the campus, although that had little impact on my focus. all I could do was stare in amazement at the gates before me. 'This was the place, the dream school for heroes.' This place had graduated the Symbol of Peace himself All-Might, the living legend. Rubbing my eyes I couldn't help but to believe I was dreaming. Here I was some teenage nobody standing on the ground that legends had walked on.

"This is the most beautiful thing I've seen." I squealed my eyes sparkling with awe and interest. Even three girls walking by, seemingly giggling at my actions didn't put my mood down.

Shaking myself loose from my stupor I held a cocky smirk as I stepped forwards. This was it the day I had been dreaming about for the past several years, since the manifestation of my quirk. Though as I took that first step that's when the ground didn't seem to agree with were I was going as my scarf caught my foot sending my face straight into a collision course with the hard ground. Okay so maybe my supposed future could have started with less pain. groaning I rubbed my forehead in pain, hoping to sooth the ache away.

"yo, dude are you alright, that's one heck of a faceplant you just took." looking up I attempted to blink away the blurriness that corrupted- and holy hell that's a lot of red.

Shooting up onto my feet I immediately bowed apologizing instantly. This was so embarrassing how could I be so careless as to trip over my own clothing. The teen could only rub the back of his head as he smiled towards me. He seemed pretty normal to me, well asides from the freakishly pointy red hair, and his sharp teeth. though who was I to judge, I mean i'm the kid that wears a scarf in the middle of summer for the past few years. Taking a deep breath I calm my nerves as the teen looks towards me expectantly, 'shit, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"Hi, I'm Hiro Koun." My voice probably a little louder than what it needed to be, evident from the others teen staring at us. "But you can just call me Hiro, or Koun whatever you like."

"Eijiro Kirishima, Nice to meet you Koun." He stated giving me a toothy grin. "So what's the deal with the scarf?" Kirishima asked, causing me chuckle nervously.

"It's actually a gift from my family." I replied probably expecting him to label me as a dork boy.

"Dude, that's awesome." It took me a second to realize what he'd said. My face displaying my confusion perfectly, this usually wasn't how these things went. "It's super manly that you care about your family's gift so much."

"Umm… thanks." I couldn't help but be totally thrown. I was so used to people making fun of the fact that I constantly wore a scarf. "So are you here for Hero course entrance exams?" I asked earning an even bigger smile from Kirishima. I don't know why, but it seemed like everything from this point forwards was going to get crazy.

Soon enough Kirishima and I learned interesting things about each other. I had learned what his quirk was, hardening, gotta say its way easier to use that compared to what I had. He also told me a little about himself and in return I did as well. Kirishima seemed like a pretty cool dude, I'm actually hoping he'll pass, the teen just oozed potential. Though I also knew my own drive to be here.

"Big brother!" a small girl smiled holding a mismatched bouquet of wildflowers towards me. Her hair a bright brown compared to my wild copper hair. Curls spread throughout her hair as a small dandelion laid in her hair. "Here this is for you." she laughed holding up the plants.

"Thank you, Misa. but why are you giving me these?" I asked crouching down to her level. The scarf that I always would wear blowing in the wind as the end flailed behind me.

"It's for when you become the best hero." I couldn't help but smile, patting the girls head.

I quickly shook myself out of the memory. Frowning as I continued walking with Kirishima, he must have noticed as well due to the worried expression he held as we entered the building. I had to pass this exam, it was all I had left of the promise I had made two years ago. The promise to make it into the pro leagues, to protect what was precious to me and to others as well. After what I had failed to protect those years ago this was the chance I had to make up for that lack of strength.

"Hey are you alright, you seem a little nervous?" causing me to laugh on the inside, if only he knew.

"Yeah, i'll get over it." seeing that we had different sections to go to I wished Kirishima good luck, parting ways with the interesting teen.

Before long the written exam began, and to my surprise I only had trouble here or their with some problems. I mean I was no genius unlike others I noticed in the giant hall, some either finished within the first few minutes taking small naps or took their time studying the other individuals in the hall. After finishing I couldn't help but kick back and relax, I still had plenty of time before the practical portion of the exam began. with the breathing room I had my mind couldn't help but wander.

"Dad, I want to be a hero!" I stepped towards my father, his figure freezing as I uttered the words.

"Then I'll lose you just like Misa and your Mother." his words cold and uncaring, but deep down I knew he was pleading with me. Trying to get me to abandon my path I was heading down.

"That's a risk I'm willing to take." I replied tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Then you're a bigger fool than I gave you credit for." His words piercing my heart.

I could remember that day, the one in which I had lost everything. Though in return I had gained something to define myself by. I no longer wanted to become just a hero, but a person who could prove my father wrong about my dream. His loss was the same as mine, although each of use received differing weights from it. Where I was granted a drive to move forwards, my father stayed frozen in what he had lost. Sooner or later things would spiral out of control for him, that's why I had to prove that he still has me. Even with a dream to become something that has only caused heartache for my father. I promised him, my sister, and my mother that no matter what, I would become the pillar that would hold their pain and sorrow, a person to remember the sacrifices they've made for me. That's why I will pass this exam.

"ARE YOU READY!" the loud voice causing my eyes to snap open, determination sprawled across my face.

Standing at the bottom of the hall stood the overly loud pro himself Present Mic, his blonde gelled up hair and unmistakable apparel a dead give away. now all that came next was the practical portion of the exam.

The description was pretty simple, smash certain robots to earn points. Depending on the size or class of the robots you receive their point value. With this there were four differing enemy varieties, 1-pointers, 2-pointers, 3-pointers, and the 0-pointer which I honestly was slightly confused on why they seemed to add the enemy only for them to be basically worth nothing to engage. Even the areas that we'd fight these supposed faux villains was given to us with our massive group of examinees being split into smaller ones for the test.

I couldn't help but sigh, my nerves were getting to me slightly. Everyone around me seemed to be completely focused on the task at hand either stretching our warming up. All I could do was tug uncertainty at my clothes, especially being the baggy pants I'd chosen to wear for the event, not to mention the plain black t-shirt. 'Okay just remember you've trained for this, in 2,3,4. Out 2,3,4.' I slowly regulated my breathing my nerves starting to settle as I gained a more confident look on my face.

"Koun. I didn't realize that you'd be in my exam block." looking up I was surprised to once again be facing Kirishima. And not to mention the fact that he looked undisturbed by the situation of the exam at all. Waving at him, I was glad that at least there was someone to chat with as we waited for the exam to start.

"START!" the word causing most of use to freeze as we looked up at the figure of Present Mic a smile plastered on his face. "What did you think this was a real battle, the Villains wouldn't wait." The statement instantly causing a wave of humanity to burst into the fake city.

I tried to spot where Kirishima had gone off too, but that was the last of what I needed to be thinking about as I raced after the rest of the examinees. After taking a different street I ended up alone, 'great this was just what I needed an abandoned street with no enemies.' Though before I could finish my thought the wall closest to me burst open as a 2-pointer raised it's arm to attack me. Acting quickly I rolled out of the way, narrowly missing the attack.

"Time to put my resolve to use." I stated a nervous grin appearing on my face. 'Let's just hope lucks on my side today.'

"Weapon Gamble: Normal." I stated as light started to glow from my right palm. Then in an instant a large battle axe formed in my hand.

"You're screwed now buddy!" using both my hands I grabbed the battle axe's handle swinging the weapon and decapitating the robots head. This instantly causing the machine to fall to the ground motionless. Looking at the tool of destruction in my hands I couldn't help but smile, I guess I got lucky.

"This will last a minute or two more, but it's too heavy to lug around and gather points with." sure it helped me with that one robot but I need something lighter to really move during this exam. "Guess i'll have to try my luck again." sighing a yellow glow enveloped the axe before it shattered but with it my energy was partially sucked out with it.

'Damn, this drawback sucks.' My quirk was all based around luck, but not only that. Once I get a weapon a time limit starts before I can switch out with no price taken on my energy, should I choose to gamble again before times up, well the energy gets culled in my body, and with each attempt it greatens the risk. Not to mention if I repeat this action with each weapon the damage my body takes doubles.

"Who says you can't take a few risk to succeed." I laugh nervously at myself, oh yeah I can totally picture Kendo beating me for risking my body. Hearing more rumbling coming from down the street my face turns from nervousness into one of complete confidence. Watch out hero course here I come.

"Weapon Gamble: Long Range." I stared as three 1-pointers round the corner. Soon a bolt action rifle was gripped firmly in my hands as I aimed towards the incoming robots, concentrating I quickly took down the one in the middle. Reloading as fast as I could I just managed to down the one on the left before I was forced to jump back, avoiding a swipe from the remaining robot.

POV: 3rd person

"Interesting, to think we have so many splendid examinees." A small furry animal stated a scar over one of his eyes as he smiled at the screens displaying all the testing grounds.

Many watching the screens shifting from teen to teen. One showing a pink girl using acid to melt the robots, to a teen with several appendages that seemed to be observing the surroundings, even one with blonde hair that seemed to emit electricity. Though one set of eyes narrowed as he watched a particular scarf wearing teen as he used his rifle to dispatch two robots.

"Notice anything Aizawa?" The small animal asked noticing the look on the hero's face as he looked towards the teen.

"Yes, I'm surprised he was allowed entry." Many of the other examiners stopping to look towards the screen that held Aizawa's current gaze. The older man knew that quirk anywhere especially with the person who used to posses one similar to it.

Now that others were also watching Hiro, they two seemed baffled by the teens presence. "Yes I can understand your view, but young Koun has an opportunity to walk a different path compared to those related to him." the Principal of U.A. replied his beady eyes and unemotional smile causing many to turn there attention back to the competitors.

Shouta Aizawa on the other hand could only keep his eyes locked on Hiro. his thoughts running wild as he watched the teen take down three more robots with the rifle he'd conjured up. 'Hiro Koun, it'll be interesting if you pass. Especially if I wind up teaching Risk's kid.' Aizawa's eyes narrowing a small smile tugged at the prospect.

"Its coming down to the three minute mark why don't we push this test to the limits." Nezu spoke the small animal smiling as he watched one of the examiners flip open the safety box with a red button safely inside.

POV: Hiro

"Shit." I gasp out, several robot remains scattered around me as my rifle disappeared from my hands. "Having long range is fine and all, but next time give me a gun where I don't have to clear the chamber after ever shot. that would be much appreciated." I spoke, talking to myself. 'At least I didn't have to change up my weapons. I like a good risk but it sure sucks the energy out of me.' i couldn't help but laugh.

So far I had gained up to 28 points. Not bad, but still not U.A. worthy. Apparently we still had around three minute remaining to rack up points. Deciding the best option was to move forward I wound up back on the main strip, moving past others as they took out other robots. That's when the ground shook, and not just the street. Buildings, light poles, even the windows shattered under the force. A massive dust cloud hit all of us blinding any to the incoming threat.

"What the hell." I was nearly knocked off my feet as I attempted to look at the damage caused around myself.

That's when I saw it. The impossible size, the words of Present Mic ringing in my ears. This was the impossible faux villain, one that gave you no points or favor to take on. As I could only stare in awe as it completely destroyed a building the rubble getting sent flying towards the ground. This was insane, who would take on something like that if it's worth 0-points. An idea popping into my head, 'it must be a distraction, it's here to keep students occupied.' this just causing me to smile.

"Like i'd let this distract me from my goal." I started to turn on my heels, just like all the other around me were doing. The one minute warning being yelled across the city by Present Mic, I still had so much ground to cover.

"Damn it!" the voice sounding familiar to me as I stopped running turning back to see Kirishima holding up a piece of rubble from crushing another unconscious competitor.

'No way, they need to move now!' my mind running a mile a minute as I saw the distance between the two and the 0-pointer. There's no time, I watched with wide eyes as the robots fist drew back as it aimed for the Kirishima and what looked to be a invisible girl. Time seemed to slow down, my muscles tensing as I looked at the scene about to play out before me. Fear struck my soul, memories firing on all cylinders of the day that I had failed. How I'd lost everything, my father's love, my mother's warmth, and the innocence of my sister.

"Big brother, why does everything hurt?" Misa asked blood dripping from her mouth as I held the dying girl in my hands. My palms and shirt stained red with blood, as tears dripped from my eyes falling onto the girls cheeks.

"M-Misa, please. God. please." I sobbed, hoping that anyone one could hear my prayers. "Don't leave me."

"Hiro." my name causing my eyes to go wide as I looked into dull amber eyes, filled with less light then what I was used to. "You're still my hero big broth-" but before the girl could finish her final breath left her, leaving me all alone sobbing. How could this happen? It wasn't right! I should've been the one to go.

"Misa. I promise to become the best hero, one that you'd truly be proud of." my hands clenching around Misa's limp body. My own amber eyes burning with determination.

Remembering the words, I narrowed my eyes at the situation before me. There was no running away, heroes don't do that. If I was going to keep true to my promise then that meant I had to stop playing around and get serious. "The only thing I should be worried about is saving people, especially when I've come this far!" I screamed out, pumping myself up, Not realizing I gained others attention.

"Weapon Gamble: Legendary!" I screamed a massive glow coming off my arms as I watched the 0-pointer's fist begin to move.

Though before anyone knew, the damage had been done. Grasping the weapon that appeared I couldn't help but grin wickedly. In my hands was a sword, its blade a shining steel while its grip was golden wrapped in white leather. Its appearance and shape similar to that of old european swords the knights would wield. Thought the only difference was the energy and power that seemed to ooze off the weapon, a golden hue of light surrounding it. Not taking any more time to think I drew the sword back taking a powerful swing, with it a massive shockwave and energy slice expelled from the weapon. And before anyone could recognize the arm the robot was using to attack Kirishima and the girl was cut into several pieces.

"EXCALIBUR!" I yelled, as the arm started to fall apart. Focusing my attention on the rubble Kirishima was holding up I swung my weapon towards the rubble, slicing it small enough not to injure Kirishima or the girl. "Kirishima get her out of their." I spoke through clenched teeth as I felt my muscles tearing and snapping.

'Shit. the output from these weapons are still so powerful.' I turned my attention towards the 0-pointer. Brining the sword above my head I screamed out as power surged through me as I brought the blade down, the result sending out a bigger slash than the last. As I looked up I watched the impossible 0-pointer being cleaved in two, right down the middle. Around me I could tell other seemed to be either staring in shock or awe. Though my attention was only focused on the spiky red haired teen walking up to me with a smile on his face as he carried the unconscious girl.

"Times Up!" Present Mic's voice sounding throughout the entire city, and that meant I could finally take a break. And before anyone else could react, Excalibur disappeared and so did the rest of my consciousness.

POV: 3rd person.

The examiners room was either jumping with joy at some of the heroics on display our smiling at the potential for some of the students. Though one examiner in particular stared at the screen displaying a unconscious Koun. 'seems like he has the mindset of a hero.' Aizawa remained stoic as he listened to the chatter of many of the other examiners. This truly was going to be a troublesome batch for them all.

"I guess Hiro Koun, and Izuku Midoriya truly have the mindset of a hero. I think they'll make an amazing addition to this school." Nezu stated a smile still plastered on his face as he looked between two screens, one showing Hiro Koun, the other Izuku Midoriya. Many of the other teachers also seeming to smile at the two's display.

'My name is Hiro Koun, and this is the story of how I became one of the top 10 heroes.'
