AN: Hey guys this serpentrequiem and this is my first fanfic ever and I don't have a talent as writer but after reading many of the great stories on this site I decided to try to bring my ideas to life. All criticism is welcomed as I try to improve myself. Anyway I hope you enjoy.

Of course, I do not own My Hero Academia or any of the characters. And any OC or idea you like are free for use, all I ask is that you send me a link to the story if you are writing one.

Chapter 1

The story begins with a boy waking up from what looks like a very short sleep. He starts scanning the small room looking for something until his eyes lock on the clock and the calendar next to it, the clock read 4:30AM which was his normal waking hour, he then smiles.

"The day is finally here huh." he says as he jumps out the barely fitting bed and into the bathroom to start his morning routine.

This is Shinohara Kazushige, a 15 year old orphan boy with golden curly hair tied to a small knot at the end of his head, blue eyes, and a goal shared by many kids throughout the world, to become a hero, and today is the day he puts his feet on the road to achieve this goal, today is the U.A. entrance exam.

As he starts washing his face and brushing his teeth his blue eyes look in the mirror and he notices that he was shirtless exposing his body full of scars of different shapes and sizes, this causes him to frown and look down at his feet for a minute before he takes a deep breath and when he releases it the look of sadness in his eyes changes to a look of determination. After he is finished brushing his teeth he does some workouts using the weights he has then changes into his black tracksuit and went for his morning jog around the block.

As he walked out to the streets he looked back at the orphanage he now calls home remembering the first day he came here after the incident and as he started running he has a warm smile on his face.

After about 30 minutes he returned from his jog and checked the watch on his phone to see that it was now 5:10AM, and so he went to take a quick shower, wore one of his long-sleeved shirts, then proceeded to prepare breakfast. He did not have to do it as there was a caretaker named Maria who was responsible of taking care of the small orphanage but he loved cooking and wanted to help as much as possible, so he convinced her that he will take care of the food-making while she can do the rest.

After he finished cooking and prepared the table as it was now 6:00AM, so he went to a bell that was hanged at the ceiling of a long corridor with room on both sides and started knocking it hard while screaming "WAKE UP YOU SLOWPOKES, YOUR WASTING PRECIOUS DAYLIGHT." and when he heard the groans and the loud response "FINE JUST STOP THE RINGING WE'RE AWAKE ALREADY." he smiled a malicious smile and said "NOT UNTILL I SEE THOSE FACES OF YOURS OUT AND HEADING TO THE BATHROOMS." As he kept knocking the bell to the displeasure of the kids he heard a voice behind him. "Good morning Shino." which caused him to stop knocking and turn around towards the source. In front of him stood an elderly short woman with shaggy gray hair and brown eyes and a small smile on her face.

Shino's sweat dropped "Oh, good morning mother I see you're awake".

The old lady now named Mother kept her smile as she approached Shino with an intimidating aura surrounding her as the later started stepping back with his hands raised in front of him to defend himself.

"And whose fault do you think it is?"

"Uh, the universe?" was the golden-haired boy's answer which earned him a punch on the head from the elderly woman.

"DON'T MISS WITH ME YOU BRAT, HOW MANY TIME HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE THE DAMN BELL AS AN ALARM?" asked Mother.

"About 256 times." answered Shino.

"AND YET YOU KEEP DONING IT".

"But it's easier this way."

The elder woman sighed, she was at the end of her rope and didn't know what to do with the boy smiling at her.

But before she could yell at him some more, the sound of multiple footsteps was heard as a group of children approached the two "Are you fighting again?" said one of the boys that had a horn on top of his head the skin between his fingers "Because if so then we will eat without you." and as the children walked away Shino called to them "Aren't going to help our big brother?" but they turned around and said all at the same time "You brought this on yourself big bro." then continued to walk towards the dining room leaving a betrayed and defeated Shino on the ground "My own brothers and sisters turned on me." As he sniffed and fake cried "Oh get a hold of yourself and come we need to eat." Was Mother's response to his act.

"You're no fun you know that" Shino pouted as he followed the rest of his family.

Despite how loud they were a moment ago the family of orphans and their mother and caretaker ate their breakfast in relative silence only making small talk discussing their eldest brother's upcoming exams this day "So, today is the day of the exam huh, are you ready? And what about work?" asked Mother "Yeah I feel ready, the written part is not a problem, let's just hope they don't overdo it in the practical. Also I already posted that I'm taking a break." answered Shino while taking a bite of his pancake "Don't worry big bro with your quirk it's going to be a breeze, I mean the ability to turn things to gold and control said gold is awesome." said one of the girls on the other side of the table and was followed by shouts and nodes of approval from the rest of the kids "Aww thanks guys don't worry I'll enter U.A. and make you proud. Speaking of which, I'm going to get ready to head out now, see you after the exam." said Shino as he drank the rest of his black coffee and went to his room to change and go. The exam was at 8:00AM so he had plenty of time.

AT THE ENTRANCE OF U.A.:

"WOW THIS SCHOOL IS HUGE" screamed Shino as he made his way towards the written exam hall which earned him a few annoyed looks from the people around him but he didn't care, he was so excited to finally step on the starting line of his journey to becoming a hero.

The written exam was easy enough but now was time the practical exam, all student were guided to big conference room to have the rules of the exam.

As the students waited in their designated seats a booming voice startled everybody "HELLO YOUNG LISTENERS AND WELLCOME TO THE PRACTICAL PART OF THE U.A. ENTRENCE EXAM, CAN I GET A YEAH?" the now identified Present Mic waited for a response but silence was all he got. "TOUGH CROWD HUH? SO, ON WITH THE EXPLANATION." suddenly the screen behind Present Mic was turned on and on it there was three silhouettes with 1P, 2P, and 3P under them respectively "YOU SEE, THE PRACTICAL EXAM IS A 10 MINUTE FIGHT WHERE YOU WILL BE TASKED WITH DESTROYING OR DEACTIVATING THE FUAX VILLAINS ON THE SCREEN AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED WITH POINTS ACCORDINGLY, YOU WILL BE DIVIDED INTO GROUPS AND SENT TO DIFFERENT SITES TO CONDUCT THE EXAM. THE SITES WERE WRITTEN ON THE HANDOUTS YOU WERE GIVEN." at that moment Shino looked at the ID he was given and noticed 'ground beta' written on it "So I'm in ground beta huh, wander what it looks like." "GATHER POINTS AND THE HIGHEST ONES WILL BE CHOSEN AS OUR NEW STUDENTS" as Present Mic stopped talking a tall boy with glasses and blue hair raised his hands "YES YOUNG LISTENER, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?" The boy stood up "Yes, my name Tenya Iida and according to the handouts we received there is supposed to be four faux villains so if there is an error then as the best school for heroics you should be ashamed. Also, you with the green hair you've been muttering this whole time and it's distracting, if you think this is a joke then you better leave now." this caused a number of other students to chuckle at the now stuttering and flustered boy, but it only made Shino frown 'putting the boy on the spot like that wasn't very nice' the chuckling stopped when Present Mic started talking again "THANK YOU YOUNG LISTENER FOR YOUR OBSERVATION AND I WAS GETTING TO THAT," a new silhouette appeared with 0P written under it "YOU SEE THE FORTH FAUX VILLAIN IS WHAT WE CALL A ZERO-POINTER, IT'S MORE OF AN OPSTECALE THAN ANYTHING, YOU GET NO POINTS FROM DESTRYING IT SO YOU SHOULD SIMPLY AVOID IT." as Present Mic finished explaining Iida seemed to be satisfied with the answer and sat back down "thank you".

AT GROUND BETA:

'WE HAVE AN ENTIRE CITY AS THE EXAM GROUND' was the thought on all the student's minds as they looked in awe at the fake city.

As Shino was walking on he noticed the green-haired boy being chewed out by Iida. 'Again with this, should I step in and stop him?' but before he could decide a loud siren brought everybody's attention to the giant gates leading to the fake city that are now open. A voice then tells "What are you waiting for the exam has started, there are no countdown in a real fight" at that moment it was like a bomb was thrown at the crowd as everybody ran through the gates and started to spread throughout the city looking for faux villains to fight.

Not missing a beat, Shino used some of the gold covering his hands as gloves to prevent him from turning anything to gold since he can't deactivate that aspect of his quirk and molded it into a floating board while turning a one-pointer's hand into gold and using that to destroy a big group of two-pointers earning him a large amount of points then continued looking for villains to destroy.

As time went by and the exam was nearing its end Shino was sitting on top of a building scouting for faux villains to destroy, his thoughts went to the forth villain, the zero-pointer, and he wondered how come he never saw it.

As if responding to his thoughts the ground began to shack and as he looked in the distance he saw a giant robot emerging from the ground like some kind of Si-fi movie. The mechanical monster started moving destroying anything that crossed its path in the process. Screams could be heard as people ran for their lives not looking back or caring to make sure no one was injured, but not Shino, he decided to head to the giant and assist anyone that might be trapped or injured.

As he got closer he noticed something approaching the robot's head before colliding with the robot's head causing a huge dent as if meteor just hit it. "WHAT THE HELL?!" was all Shino could say in response before noticing the thing that just destroyed the robot falling. As he got closer he could now see it was a human. Realizing that they didn't look like they had a falling plan, Shino sped up trying to catch them before they fell but suddenly a hand slapped them and they seemed to stop falling and descended slowly and harmlessly to the ground. When Shino reached the ground his shock and surprise doubled when he discovered that the one responsible for destroying the giant robot was none other than the meek green-haired boy from earlier. 'How does someone so meek and shy hold so much power?' was the first thing Shino thought and the second was 'How can someone's quirk hurt them so much?'

But there was no time for questions and as he carefully knelt next to the injured boy he brought out the first-aid equipment he had on him and checked to see if the boy was even alive he yelled to the crowd now watching him "STOP STARING AND GO GET THE MEDICS, FAST." He then noticed the boy trying to say something but his voice was too low to be heard so he neared the boy's mouth to hear what he was trying to say and his eyes widened as he heard the boy ask "Is she alright?"

Shino didn't know what he was talking about until he saw a girl with brown hair and eyes and pink cheeks behind him throwing up and everything clicked for him 'he must have destroyed the robot to protect that girl' as he looked at the boy who was now looking at him waiting for an answer.

He smiled "Yeah, she is safe don't worry, you saved her."

The boy seemed to have heard him because he relaxed in Shino's arms before smiling, closing his eyes, and passing out. At that moment an elderly woman wearing what looked like a nurse outfit and using giant needle as a cane approached him calmly "what is his state?" When Shino looked up he smiled and answered quickly "He broke both his legs and his right arm, he just passed out a moment ago but nothing life threating as far as I know." the elder woman simply smiled as she came closer to the green haired boy's cheeks and delivered a kiss. Suddenly all the boy's broken bones started healing and returned to normal "I'll take it from here, you did good my boy." this caused the gold-controller's smile to widen even more "Thank you" was all he said.

As he watched the medical robots carry the boy on a stretcher he felt a tug on his shirt, it the girl that was saved, "Where is the boy that saved me, and who was that old lady?", it felt like she was barley holding herself from throwing up again, "First, the boy was taken to the medical ward to complete his treatment. And second, that was recovery girl, the resident healer of U.A.. By the way do you know the boy's name?"

The girl gave a sigh of relief and answered "No I don't, he never told me but I hope he gets in though I'm sure he would make great hero, I'm Uraraka Ochaco by the way, nice to meet you".

Shino could only smile "Hi Uraraka, my name is Shinohara Kazushige but call me Shino, and yeah I'm sure he will, now let's get back to the exam."

Uraraka gave him a confused look "What are you talking about? The exam ended a while ago".

It took Shino a moment to register the new information "WHAT?! WHEN?! HOW?!" but as he calmed down he realized that he probably didn't notice because he was so focused on the boy he saw do the impossible and sighed.

"Guess that's it huh? All that is left is to wait for the result."

"Yeah, I hope I get to see you and that boy in U.A. I haven't thanked him yet." Uraraka replied as she walked towards the exit alongside Shino.

Little did they both know that this day would be the most important day of their lives aside from being the being the beginning of their journey to become heroes.
