Hello everyone! I decided to go ahead and change the Point of View for my story from 3rd person limited to 1st person, as I feel I'm a much better writer when I'm writing from a 1st person PoV. I'll rewrite the next two chapters later today, and post them tomorrow. Then I'll get started on new chapters. Enjoy!
U.A. Academy, the best school in the world for those with Quirks. The acceptance rate for the Hero Course is 1 in 300, meaning of the 12,000 that applied this year, only 40 make it in. 20 per class, Class 1-A and 1-B. Ryuku-san had easily passed the course, his quirk being perfectly suited to the objective: Destroy as many training robots as possible within the time limit allotted. How he passed, however, was something that he wouldn't be forgetting anytime soon.

After Present Mic explained to us the rules of the Entrance Exam, I walked over to Battleground Alpha, not paying very much attention to my fellow competitors. 'I'm not here to socialize, I'm here to win.' Was what I thought to myself as Present Mic announced the start of the Exam. 'On the bright side, it's a nice day out. I'm glad I chose not to wear my shirt.' Indeed, it was a nice day out; the sun was shining down on the group, not a cloud in sight, and a light, comforting breeze blew through the area, erasing any doubts that the students had about the exam.
It didn't take me very long to outpace the rest of the class, my [PROTOTYPE] quirk being perfectly suited to the scenario at hand. We'd been given 10 minutes; I had 50 points at the halfway mark, and 84 when the massive 0-pointer appeared with just a minute left. I could see buildings falling over as it made itself known to us students, and already my fellow competitors were running away from the giant training bot, fear etched on their faces as their true sides showed. Because what better way to show someone's true personality then to throw death at them?
I myself had turned around, when a voice stopped me dead in my tracks. "Help... me... please..." Dread quickly settled itself into my gut as I turned, and spied a pink-haired girl trapped under the rubble of a building. It didn't take me very long to decide on my next course of action.
3rd person view, Mina
'He's kind of cute.' That was the first thing that Mina Ashido thought of when the person she'd called out to turned around to face her. The second thing was that that thought was 100% inappropriate for a number of reasons, one of which was the fact that she was going to die in two seconds. It seemed the boy had other plans, though, as he'd transformed his arm into something that very much resembled a whip, that whip-like appendage now wrapping itself around her navel and pulling her from the rubble. Looking back, Mina watched as that same rubble was crushed by the giant training bot, before the boy caught her bridal-style, and told her to hang on as he channeled some kind of power into his legs and jumped high into the air, before spreading his body out in spread-eagle fashion as he glided away from the training bot, Mina on his back.
Now that she wasn't close to dying, Mina took the opportunity to get a good look at the boy who had saved her. He had short, brown hair that was recently shaved, and wore no shirt for the exam, showing off his back and arm muscles in all their splendor. Mina would've been able to tell even if he'd had a shirt on that he was strong, but up close like this, it was like the boy was teeming with power. Both his arms and his legs were toned, indicating he liked to work out. A lot, if their looks was anything to go by. He was ripped, no doubt about it. Mina felt a blush creep up her neck as she realized she was openly ogling his body, but she decided to blame her hormones. 'Yeah, it's definitely hormones. It's not like I'm attracted to him or anything! No, no, it's definitely hormones; ladies love a nice specimen of a man.' Her blush only creeped up further with the thought. He had brown irises, common enough, and a small... well, everything, except for his muscles. And his height; the boy was a full head taller than her. When they finally approached the ground, the teen righted himself so that he landed on both legs, and allowed Mina to let herself down, before facing her. Mina promptly threw herself at him, arms wrapping around his neck as she hugged the teen to try and hide her blush, said blush only increasing when he wrapped powerful arms around her waist, before pulling back and praying to whatever entities existed that he couldn't discern the blush on her pink skin. "Thanks for saving me back there!" 'And for letting me check you out while we were gliding,' though she wasn't going to tell him that anytime soon. "My name's Mina, what's yours?"

'She's kind of cute.' Now that I wasn't trying to save her, I got a good look at the girl whose eyes I had felt practically devour my backside while I was gliding, and she was nothing short of gorgeous. Her skin was pink, as was her short, curly hair. She had horns on the top of her head as well, just barely longer than her hair, and quite frankly, they made her look adorable. 'Though I'm not telling her that little bit of information.' I could feel my face slightly heating up as my mind processed that thought, so I instead opted to answer her question. She had black sclera with gold irises, and was a full head shorter than me.
"My name's Ryuku-san, it's a pleasure Ashido-san." I held my hand out for her to shake, and she replied, "Mina." She giggled a little, and I could feel a smile on my face as I heard it. "You can just call me Mina." At that moment, our meeting was broken up by Recovery Girl, an older lady with a quirk that restored one's body at the cost of her stamina, but she quickly moved on when she saw neither of us were injured. "If I'm calling you Mina, then you have to call me Ryuku." I laughed a little as I said it, eliciting another giggle from her. "Well, then, Ryuku," 'Oh, she so did not just say my name like that.' I thought as she giggled while saying it, "it was a pleasure meeting you. Maybe we'll end up in the same class. Bye!" I watched her skip away, a grin on my face as I pocketed my hands and began to leave Battleground Alpha. 'Maybe U.A. won't be so bad after all.'
And first chapter is done! Ryuku has now met Mina, and I can't wait to explore their relationship as it progesses through their time at U.A. Next chapter, we'll be introduced to Bakugo, Todoroki, Izuku, Ochaco, and Aizawa-sensei. See you next time!
