Hello! I decided to try luck in this site to see how it goes. This story will have romance, but it isn't the main focus! Can you guess what's the pairing?;)

Anyway, this story follows the manga and it's already written up to actual manga chapters, but I always change minor things. I welcome critics, as I have been writing for years but never published anything before. Hope you all enjoy it

"Man, that's some fucked up training " Shana frowned at her sister words. "You should take it easy or you will be send to the hospital again

"I can't take it easy oneesan, the exam is near and I need to be the best!" She claimed, and Yoko sighed

"Need is a strong word Shan, but okay, I understand. It was important to me too, so just... rest a little, okay? "Shana nodded vigorously, a fist raised and a focused expression on her face

"You'll see neesan, I will make you proud!"

Shana's head hit the breakfast table. This was a mistake, she was gonna fail, and then her dad would be so disappointed and her sister and older brother would disown her and...

"No face on the table, please "Yoko interrupted her anxious thoughts, and she raised her head, forehead now red. Yoko suppressed a laugh "Eat all you can, today's the big day!"

"If I fail, will you still love me?"

"Kami no, I would totally hate you "She hit her little sister in the back of her head "Of course, you weirdo. But you will pass, so stop stressing and eat. That's an order"

Ok, so she was here, finally. At the entrance of the Shinketsu academy, the best hero academy to ever be. Here her sister had studied, and dad, and... her mom too. She was gonna make them proud

"Oi, why are you standing there with your fist raised? "She almost fell on her ass, surprised. Was she really? The person who said that was a boy with spiky hair as red as hers and eyes the same color, with a big smile on his face that showed his shark-like teeth.

"I was motivating myself " She said with a serious expression. The boy was pretty hot, if she was being honest, so this was even more embarassing, so before he could say something more she ran away " See ya!

The classroom in wich they were supposed to have the presentation was big, and there were so many people. She took a seat, and waited. A tall blonde men went in to the stage, and everyone went silent

"Welcome to today's live performance, everybody's say hey! " He yelled. No one replied. What a bad audience the guy had, she thought, but stayed silent as well. Didn't wanna embarrass herself more

"Well, that's cool, my examinee listeners! I'm here to preset the guidelines of your practical, are you ready?! "Silent was his answer. She was really starting to pity him. Present Mic, that was his hero name, she remembers -This is how the test will go, my listeners! You'll be experiencing a ten minute long mock cityscape maneuvers! Bring along whatever you want! " He explained that they were to be assigned a testing location, and there were three kind of villains and each one of them earned different points, and saving people would too. Then a really tall (seriously, how a 15 years old could be so tall?) started asking questions and she disconnected for a while. She wasn't the only one to do that, honestly.

She went to her assigned location, along with other examinee. She sighed deeply, calming herself, and studied other people. She was sure some of them had powerful quirks, so she had to plan a strategy and try to pass with a good mark. Her powers consisted of fire and wind control, so they were more offensive than deffensive, even if they could be used as both, so fighting villains was her best option.

And the big door opened, the exam started! She ran using her wind to speed her up as an advantage, and a medium sized robot was sighted at the end of the big street. With a focused look on her tanned face and another wind pushed, she made it to the robot, jumping high. Fire surrounded her uncovered legs (She would have burned the material otherwise), and landed with force in the robot head before it could do anything about it. It fell, burning.

Another caught her sight and she started to run towards it, but a yellow haired boy was faster, and with an impressive bolt of electricity made it went down. She didn't stopped to check and went to search more. At the end she calculated she had enough points to be one of the top five, and soon after the bell rang, indicating it was the end of the test. The tip of her shirt was burnt, and she knew her sister was gonna flip, again. But she was happy so she didn't care.

Weeks passed, and she checked the mail everyday for her letter. Finally it came, and after a (and this surprised her) message from All might wich almost made Yoko faint, she finally saw she was accepted. She was in second place apparently, with 54 villains points and 12 rescue. Someone named Katsuki Bakugou was first, but she couldn't care less right now. His dad, Ginji Kaze, a white haired retired hero, congratulated her wich made hear tear up.

"Your mom would be proud of you " And with that she really cried and huged him.

Funny story, I was inspired by Avatar the last airbender when I give Shana's her quirks. I thought, okay, wich elements don't balance each other at all and would be hard to have in a quirk like word? And tada, now she has two quirks considered powerful in theory, but in practice... IT's another story. In later chapters, while re reading the manga, I noticed a certain character (not gonna spoil anything) with a similar quirk and I thought 'fuck' but it was too late to change everything. I named her Shana because while searching for japanese names I found this one, searched for it and apparently it has meaning in gaelic, too, it means 'wise and tiny' and I was sold.
