Chapter 2

A young brunette woman was pinned down to the ground by the falling debris caused by a monstrous lizard rampaging around the city. Everyone was running away in panic, no one bothered to help the poor girl. Just as it looked that the reptile would crush the girl a green blur dashed past her, leaping so high he reached its head in a matter of seconds. Drawing back his fist he punched it with a loud roar that sounded like "Smash!", causing the skyscraper tall monster to fall backwards.


"Augh, what a weird dream," groaned Mio slowly waking up.

It had been almost 10 months since Jun had left on his tour and Mio couldn't be happier. Finally she could wake up late, no longer having to get up at the crack of dawn to train with Jun or be threaten to have her legs switched again if she refused. Not that she stopped training all together but at least now it was at a reasonable hour.

She no longer had to cover any visible skin in fear that he will manipulate her bio just because he was bored or because she ate the last slice of cake. She could wear skirts, shorts, even grow out her hair that she always kept short for their training sessions.

And most important of all, she no longer had to take the snide comments the kids in their neighborhood would say to her with a calm face now that Jun was gone. And boy did she pay them back for every past comment. Jun had always stopped her from retaliating saying stuff about "being the bigger man" and that he would punish her if he ever found out that she fought with others.

"Mio! Wake up or you're going to be late for your entrance exam!"


Today was the day, once Mio passed the entrance exam there would be nothing stopping her from reaching her goal of being the number one hero. It didn't matter what type of quirk the others had, she was confident she was the best out there and nothing would stop her from being like her idol All Might or even surpassing "him".

There she stood infront of the UA gate admiring her future school.

"There's no going back now," Mio whispered both excited and just a tad bit nervous. She slowly walked in taking in the view and scouting the competition, though it didn't matter since no one here was as strong as her or her brother. She noticed a blonde with wild spiky hair bumping into a boy with curly green hair looking as if he was ready to murder someone. She shook her head before walking into the building ready to make a name for herself.


Mio's POV

'That wasn't that bad. I'm pretty sure I aced the written portion of the exam,' I thought looking for my seat in the auditorium. 'All that's left is the practical.'

I took my seat next to a boy with blonde hair, blue eyes and a weird belt. Just looking at his face pissed me off, which is weird since its usually after people start talking that they piss me off. Well whatever it's not like everyone here is going to make it.

"Bonjour mademoiselle," the boy said with sparkles around his face.

'Is that his quirk? It doesn't seem that useful if he wants to be a hero.'

"Hello," I replied awkwardly.

"My dazzling name is Yuga Aoyama and you are?"

"Oh, I'm Mio Shimizu."

"Shimizu?" He asked staring intensely at me. "You wouldn't happen to be related to Jun Shimizu?"

"Yeah he's my twin brother," I said with a strained smile.

"My, to think I would meet the dazzling Shimizu-san's sister at UA's entrance exam!" Those around us heard him and started to look our way, whispering to each other. I could feel my patients running thin the longer I talked to him.

"You say dazzling a lot," I commented, trying to change the subject.

"Well, not everyone can be as dazzling as myself but your brother comes in a close second," he said proudly. "For twins, you seem to fall behind his dazzle."

I felt my smile becoming a forced half smile as my anger started rising, strands of my hair started to levitate but before I could say anything the lights started to dim. I turned to the front trying to calm myself before I did something I would regret.

On stage Present Mic stared to walk to the podium in the center.

'OMG! It's Present Mic! He's my third favorite hero!' I thought squealing softly, any previous irritation going away. 'Calm down Mio, don't make a scene.' I breathe in trying to control my fangirl self. I briefly wonder if I could ask him to sign my copy of his latest Album, 'BEATing foes.'

"Welcome one and all to my live show!" Present Mic said striking a rock star pose. "Everybody say 'heeeey'!"

"Heeeeyy!" I cheered startling those around me.

"That's the spirit! What a refined response!" Present Mic laughed. "Now I'll quickly present to you the rundown on the practical exam! Are you ready? Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

"As it says in the application requirements, you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock urban battles after this! You can bring whatever you want with you. After the presentation, you'll head to the specified battle center, okay? Okay?!"

"Three different types of faux villains are stationed in each battle center. You earn points for each of them based on their level of difficulty. Your goal, dear listeners, is to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing the faux villains." The projector behind Present Mic then turned on displaying what was on the paper that was placed infront of every examinee. "Now pay close attention, Listeners! We'll be testing your mettle by running a ten-minute practice run at our replica city-district! You can take whatever you like! Everyone one gather at the designated meeting area after the presentation, ya dig?"

I briefly looked at the paper infront of me, 'I guess I'm going to Ground C.'

"Of course, attacking other examinees and any other unheroic actions are prohibited!" He continued.

"May I ask a question?" An examinee said standing up.

"Okay!" Mic indulged.

"On the printout, there are four types of villains. If that is a misprint, then U.A., the most prominent school in Japan, should be ashamed of that foolish mistake. We examinees are here in this place because we wish to be molded into exemplary heroes. In addition, you over there with the curly hair-" he said pointing to another examinee. "You've been muttering this whole time. It's distracting! And you!"

He then turned towards me only to get hit in the face with the spine of a textbook knocking him to the ground.

I turned towards Present Mic, "That whole attacking other examinees rule doesn't count until the start of the test, right?"

He took a moment before responding, "Okay, while the rule is for the exam you shouldn't hit other's in general, I'll let it slide for now. As for examinee Number 7111, the fourth type of villain is worth zero points. That guy's the obstacle, so to speak. There's one in every battle center-" The projector then showed the fourth robot, "An obstacle that will go crazy in narrow spaces. It's not impossible to defeat, but there's no reason to defeat it, either. I recommend that you listeners try to avoid it."

"That's all from me! Finally,I'll give you listeners a present- our school motto!" Present Mic then spread his arms out. "The hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said: 'A true hero is someone who overcomes life's misfortunes.' Go beyond. Plus ultra! Now, everyone, good luck suffering!"


I went to change into my work out clothes, a grey shirt that said "Do You Even Plus Ultra", black leggings and black boots that reach my calf before boarding the bus to Battle Center C. I tried to contain my excitement and prepare myself mentally for the battle ahead. As I cleared my mind the words rescue points and 77 popped into my head. I opened my eyes and noticed we had arrived infront of a huge wall with the letter 'C' painted on.

Hopping out I looked around at my competition, there was a boy with spiky red hair, a girl with orange hair in a side pony tail, and a boy with a tail. No one really stood out, not that it mattered since I was going to win.

"GO!"

I immediately flew towards the battle ground unlike the rest of my competition that stood there frozen. It was toward the center of the makeshift city that I found my first robot, a two pointer. I came down on it with a reinforced flying kick completely destroying it's head.

'That's two points,' I thought. The noise must have alerted the other robots in the area as more started popping up. 'This is too easy,' I grinned, getting into a battle stance.

'12.'

'34.'

'40.'

'Rescue points.'

'Wait what?' I stopped and noticed the other competitors had started fighting as well. The red head boy from earlier had gained a stone like body and the orange hair girl's fist started to enlarge to five times their normal size. I noticed a three point robot about to shoot at the red head and took off flying and instantly destroying it by ramming right through it's head, my force-field absorbed all the damage leaving me unharmed.

"Are you okay?" I asked the boy.

"Fine, thank you. I didn't even notice that guy," the boy laughed turning back to normal. "I'm Kirishima Eijiro."

"Mio, tell me how many points do you have?"

"I just got 15 and you?"

"43. Do you want to team up real quick?"

"Are you sure we can do that? Won't it be against he rules?" He looked worried.

"Don't worry I have a great idea, plus it'll guaranty you'll pass the exam." He looked a bit skeptically before nodding. "Great! Now quickly use your quirk and use your arms to cover your face. Keep your feet together and stay in that position."

He quickly followed my instructions, "Wait how is this supposed to help me?"

"Don't worry I got this under control," I reassured him, grabbing him by the ankles and taking off where the robots were. There were a couple of one and two pointers a couple feet to my right. I positioned Kirishima like a bat and started swinging at the robots, making sure to use my quirk so he doesn't get too injured, extending the force-filed to tools I touched was a one of the simpler tricks I could use.

'2.'

'5.'

'8.'

'13.'

"How you holding up Kirishima?" I asked destroying a one pointer with my makeshift bat.

"I'm good! Kinda dizzy though," he shouted a little green in the face.

"Okay last one and then you can rest," I replied getting rid of the last robot in the group. "There that should give you a good 15 points."

I descended towards the ground and placed Kirishima back down. He stumbled a bit but was fine overall at least I thought so until he started laughing.

'Oh god! Don't tell me I gave him a concussion!' I worried. "Hey man, are you okay?"

"Totally! Let's do that again!" Kirishima laughed.

"I think that's enough for now. I'm not sure how much time we have left but we should get as many points as we can and see if there is anyone that needs help." I reasoned.

"Yeah, good idea. I'll go this way," he said.

I nodded before taking off towards the sky.

"Six minutes left!"

'Only six minutes? That's more than enough' I thought taking off to a group of three pointers.


In the Observation Room

"In this practical exam, the examinees have not been informed of the number of villains or their locations." Said, the Principal of U.A., Nezu to the teachers looking at the monitors displaying all the students taking the exam. "They have a limited amount of time in a vast area. They have to draw the villains out from there. Information gathering ability to understand the situation before anyone else. Mobility that can be used in many different circumstances. Discernment to be able to stay calm in any situation. And pure combat ability. These basic abilities needed to keep the peace in the streets are turned into points in this test."

"Doesn't this year's group look promising?" Midnight said.

"Well, we can't know for sure yet." Blood King replied

"Yes well, examinee 1289 seems really strong, a bit unorthodox but she has potential." Countered Snipe.

"Did you see the way she swung the other kid around, hahaha," Present Mic laughed.

"Is that even allowed?" Asked Cementos.

"It looked consensual but their true test is still to come," Blood King said pressing a big red button with a grin.


Back with Mio

"And 82. Phew that should be good enough. Now to see if anyone needs help." I looked around seeing a blonde girl with horns surrounded by robot parts unable to get out.

I dove towards her, "Hey Blondie! Give me your hand!"

The girl looked up at me before raising her hands, I took her hands never stopping my flight. I placed her down softly once we were away from the debris.

"Thank you," the blonde said.

"You're welcome," I replied taking off again. I went around checking if anyone needed help and helping those that did.

"One minute left!"

I was pretty confident I had passed, even if the rescue points were just a figment of my imagination.

Then there was a huge rumbling sound as a giant robot came out of no where, easily destroying the buildings around it. I felt myself lose control of my quirk for a bit as it's size surprised me, "No wonder Present Mic told us to avoid it."

I quickly concentrated and started to fly towards the exit. I wasn't the only one as everyone started running away as well, I slowed down and went lower to make sure no one got trampled or injured by the other examinees as they ran. I looked around, it didn't seem like everyone was going to make it out in time

'Think Mio! What would All Might do!?' I turned towards the robot, reinforcing my resolve and concentrating on what I was about to do. Coating myself in my force field, I took off towards the giant zero pointer. I could faintly hear someone shout my name as I looked for any weak points it could have.

'Focus! You can do this! If you can't even stop this robot then you don't deserve to be a hero. There! It's neck!'

Flying behind it's giant head, I focused my power into my fists as I started barraging its neck each punch stronger than the last. I don't know how many punches I threw until it turned its head towards me, 'Shit!'

"Come on! Just one more!"

I was hit with a sudden memory. A battle I had with my brother back when he still getting used to his enhancements. I remember going for a punch when suddenly he throw a palm thrust into my stomach that managed to make me throw up and fall to the ground.

I dug my fingers into the metal as a make-shift handhold, before bringing back an open palm. I mentally weakened my force-field around my body and instead concentrated in my hand. With a yell I brought my hand down and slapped it right on hits head.

"Plus Ultra!"

Immediately the head started to deform and the large metal body rippled as the energy behind the attack began to crush it's insides. It looked like a metal can that had been stopped by a giant foot.

Boom! Crash!

I was sent crashing into a nearby building, my force field barely protecting me from any serious injuries, but I felt it flicker on and off.

"F**k.. Everything hurts.."

It felt surreal, like an out of body experience but everything was muffled.

There was a faint, "Time's up!" as I started climbing out of the hole I just made. My hair was slightly singed, the bottom portion of my shirt got burned off, and I had a couple of burn marks on my arms and stomach.

'You can do it Mio.. Badass hero pose. Don't let all those hours practicing in front of the mirror be for nothing.' I straightened up as best as I could before standing at the entrance overlooking the crushed robot and the examinees not too far off.

'I don't think I can get down..'


A/N

Sorry I haven't updated in a long time, so my brother helped me with the idea of Mio's shirt and I thought "is there a shirt like that?" So I checked and there isn't. So I spent a couple of days making different designs on that idea to make a t-shirt... sorry. I kept putting it off even though I only had to write one last scene. Anyways I'm already working on the next chapter so that should be up in a couple of weeks.
