Chapter 2: Killua
He could have done better. He'll be honest, there was more that he could do. Since he was stranded in a world he knew close to nothing about, there were sure to be some surprises on the Exam. And when the challenge was presented to him - taking down tracking-robots, he was not quite sure hoe to approach it. Kicking it would need more force than usual. Punching it would need the same thing.
Killua regretted not going to the information meeting. He could have learned how to beat the hunks of metal. But then he discovered a switch. A switch hidden on the robot. Turning it off would be the same thing as defeating it, right? So that was basically the plan.
Some robots were tougher than others. They had more defence and speed. Especially the three-point robots.
He looked back on the things that happened right before it began.
Those ten months were finally over, and the day of the Entrance Exam to get into U.A was here.
Killua had met up at the meeting place not far from the actual School right on time. Well, he was hanging out in some trees nearby, observing the future students at U.A to be exact.
The white/silver-haired boy stood around with his hands in his pockets. He wasn't looking to start a conversation. More or less to make friends. He wasn't so great at that department.
Killua heard something from one of the participants, that was different from the Hunter Exam.
"My friend is at a different Exam site." One person said sad.
"Really? Mine too. But I heard that we have the same Exam though." Another person commented.
Seems like there were more people participating in the Exam than it looked like.
Killua didn't expect to see anyone he knew. But there was one person he recognized.
The broccoli-head. He seemed nervous and was shaking like he was sitting in a vibrating chair. He didn't look any different from ten months ago. Except that he didn't look as scrawny as before.
Mind you, he was still scrawny. But he could have been training to take on the Exam.
Good for him, Killua thought. But what he didn't think of was that he was looking at the nervous green-head for way too long.
"H-hey, is everything alright?" The green-head asked.
Killua blinked a few times before looking at the person asking. "Huh? Oh, yeah. Everything is fine." Killua said and waved his hands in front of him before putting them back in his pockets.
"It's just that you remind me of someone." Not technically a lie.
"Oh," the boy said with a hint of his voice shaking a bit. "is he taking the Exam too?" He then asked.
"No, but I bet that he would have wanted to." Killua said and put his hands behind his head.
The boy hesitated. Before finally saying: "I'm Izuku Midoriya."
Killua looked at the friendly boy known as Midoriya. He gave the green-head a smile. "I'm Killua Zoldyck. But people call me Killua."
The conversation would have continued, until the former assassin noticed that the boy he was talking to was focused on a girl. A brunette with short hair and pink cheeks. She was taking deep breaths and was mentally preparing herself.
Killua wondered if something had happened. Cause not long after, the green headed boy was taking few steps towards her.
Killua had no plans in stopping him, since another participant decided to. He was tall, Killua had to admit. He had dark blue hair combed to the side and was wearing glasses and a blue running outfit.
What stood out most was the engines in his calves. If Killua had to make a wild guess, he'd guess that this guy's Quirk must be something to do with speed.
The tall guy was talking about the girl to Midoriya.
"That girl appears to be trying to focus." He plainly stated.
Wow, thanks Captain Obvious. Killua held back a smirk.
The blue-haired guy continued. "What are you doing here? Are you taking the Entrance Exam to interfere with everyone else?"
"What kind of question is that?" Killua asked. He caught the attention of the two of them.
"Of course, he's here to pass this Exam. Interfere with everyone else? I mean, look at him." He said and gestured at Midoriya. He was obviously tense about his whole situation. "I don't think this guy is capable of that."
The blue-haired guy took that into account as he kept talking to Midoriya. At the same time, Killua felt attention build up on them. Almost everyone was looking at them with sly smirks.
These guys were full of themselves. Midoriya was going to pass the stupid Exam.
It might have been a trait he had picked up from Gon. Encouraging friends when needed to. Except that Gon did it all the time.
Killua did not expect the green-headed boy that did not look so strong to destroy a giant metal robot with one punch.
It was eye widening for everyone that witnessed what Midoriya did.
Told ya, Killua directed his thought against the blue-haired guy who was just as shocked as the rest of the participants.
At the end of the Exam, Killua had managed to rack up fifty-one villain points and sixteen rescue points. Assuming that there were points for rescuing since basing one's performance on how many villains they defeat wouldn't make any sense.
With a grand total of sixty-seven points, taking fourth place in the rankings.
"That's it?" Killua said to himself as there was no other challenges other than defeat the robots. Quite disappointing. Killua could have gotten more points if he wanted to, but he didn't want to stand out that much.
He shook off his thoughts of just a few days ago and approached the giant door of class 1-A. The class he got placed in.
What have I gotten myself into? Was the last thought before sliding the classroom door open. Revealing about seventeen students waiting for the last classmates and their homeroom teacher.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed! I forgot to include the part where Present Mic explains how the Entrance Exam works, but it would be boring to read anyways. Do you like it so far? Is there something I should improve on? Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!
