Chapter 3: The Entrance Exam.
«»«»«»«»«»
A year and ten months later...
"Ochako, do you have your jacket!?"
"Hai, kaa-chan."
"Did you eat breakfast!?"
"Hai, kaa-chan..."
"Did you bring your napki-"
Uraraka let out a breath, slumping her shoulders but smiled softly as she was putting her brown loafers on. This was normal for her since her mother was such a 'mother hen'. She can hear her father chuckling as he was leaning against the hall's wall, looking at the scene in front of him in amusement.
"-And don't forget, if you see a boy that is being mean to you, just use your martial art skills and kick him in the-"
"Ah! Honey, I think that's enough!"
«»«»«»«»«»
Music was blaring in her ears as she was holding on to the handle beside the train's door. She was leaning against the window, with white earbuds in her ears and her red phone stuffed in her dark brown trench jacket.
On the outside she looks all calm, but in the inside she was a nervous wreck. Her heart was beating very fast and she couldn't tell how many times she had to squeeze her hands to relax.
She kept on having what ifs in her thoughts. What if she wasn't good enough? What if her Quirk was useless and no good? What if they reject her because of her family 'situation'? No, she doesn't think they will reject her because of that...
'...Right?' She bit her bottom lip and snapped her head up (not even realising that it was bent down), when the announcement came on. This was her stop.
Uraraka took a deep breath and clutched her bag strap. She quietly followed behind the group of people and got out of the train. She walked again, into a crowd of people and they kept on bumping into her. Annoyance was starting to built up and after a few minutes, she finally had enough.
Her lips turning firm, she pushed the people away and slowly got into the front. She kept on bumping into people that she didn't turn over her shoulder to apologise to them. Just as she made it near to the front, her shoulder bumped again, against another shoulder but didn't say anything.
She didn't even notice the burning crimson glare on her cheek as she passed him. Uraraka still had her earbuds on so, she didn't realise that once she got out of the crowd, a shout was yelling at her. And this shout was so strong and vicious, that the people that were in the group, immediately broke off, leaving a path for the angry person.

Oh my...
Honey brown eyes widened at the sight before her.
UA is so big!
Uraraka was standing just in front of the UA's gate and was just standing there, admiring the design and scenery around her. The school was designed by glass, thousands of glass windows everywhere. It was very tall with four big glass building kinda connected together with glass halls. Outside of it, there was a gate with the UA sign on top and walls beside it, probably going around the school.
She did hear that they had really heavy security systems.
Her heart was literally about to burst as she took her steps, feeling a bit embarrassed from the stares of the other kids her age who were passing by her and into the entrance doors.
'They all must be from different schools...' Her head was moving left and right, trying to observe them quietly. From the many years of training, Uraraka can tell f a person is skill and experienced in fighting or not, and so far, she sees a lot that are not experienced.
Just as she was about to go to the entrance doors, a flash of green at the corner her vision stopped her. Instinctly, she raised her arm and touched the end of the stranger's yellow back pack, using her Zero Gravity on it.
The stranger stopped in mid-air and now she had a good look at the boy she has just saved. The boy seems to look quite average, except for his crazy curly green hair and freckles on his cheeks. He seems to be even her height, if not, an inch taller.
Uraraka tilted her head and asked him, "Are you alright?"
The curly haired green boy yelped in surprise from being in mid-air and started to squirm. He was trying to place his feet back on the ground but he couldn't do it.
She bit her lip, trying not laugh at his struggles and decided to help the poor boy. She grabbed a hold of the back pack and placed his feet down on the ground. The boy was now staring at her with a surprise look as she clapped her hands, cancelling her Quirk.
The curly haired boy now stood on his feet, still staring at her blankly, having a small evident of blush on his freckled cheeks.
'Kirei...' He thought, blushing from her glowing appearance.
Uraraka appearance had changed and now her auburn hair and face is a bit different. Her bob hair has became a bit longer so now her back hair was the same length as her front part. Her side bangs are now longer and now were connected with the left side of her hair, some were tucked behind her ear while some strands fell, touching lightly against her flushed cheeks. They were now a bit wavy at the ends.
Her face is still round but not as much as before. Still having her signature pink blush on her cheeks. Her eyes were still round but now had some sharpness in them when she gets serious. Other than that, she looked still the same, but just with a few changes over the year.
Her height was still the same and her body has turned more toned and fit from the training she had from years, but they were now covered with her brown trench coat.
Uraraka didn't notice his blush as she smiled softly, still having her hands together. "It's my Quirk. Sorry for using it without asking first." She apologised.
"But, it'd be bad luck if you fell, right?"
She still didn't have a response, so she tried to reassure him, "You're nervous, right?"
"A-Ah...! Ano...!"
Uraraka moved her orbs at the entrance doors and realised that she was wasting time from chatting with the plain-looking boy. She smiled apologetically and waved at the stuttering curly haired boy over her shoulder.
"Gomen, but I have go but let's do our best. See you later."
She didn't even hear his reply as she continued to walk.
«»«»«»«»«»
It was dark when Uraraka entered in the room. There was millions of chairs everwhere in each row. It was like a very big theatre because it had a very big screen at the front and a stage in front of it. The screen was showing the insigna of UA in gold.
She bit her lip nervously, seeing all these other kids in their seats and was scanning to the rows, to see if there was any empty seats.
After a few seconds of scanning, her honey brown eyes lit up, seeing an empty seat in the first row on the very top. She quickly climbed up the stairs and went to the row. Luckily, she didn't have to bump into anybody's feets as her seat was at the beginning of the roe. Removing her trench coat, placing it on the handle of the chair and sat down on seat.
It's actually quite soft.
Uraraka slightly marvelled the texture of the seat until the lights turned on, meaning that the exam was now starting. In front of the screen stood a man, more specifically, a pro hero.
A booming voice echoed the gigantic room.
"For all you examinee tuning in, welcome to my show today!"
The pro hero turned around and raised his arms in the air, revealing to be Present Mic. With his signature spiked up blonde hair and sunglasses, he was wearing his hero costume, which was a large speaker wrapped around his neck and a rocker style look.
"EVERYBODY SAY HEY!" Present mic exclaimed in English. He turned his body and cupped his ear, thinking that the kids will say it back.
But instead was greeted by silence.
"What a refined response."
Present Mic placed his hand on his hip and bent down his torso, raising a pointer finger up in the air. "Then I'll quickly present to you the rundown on the practical exam!"
And then, he tried to do a DJ hand pose and shouted with his speaker, trying to see if the kids will reply this time.
"ARE YOU READY!?"
He raises his finger in the air.
"YEAH!!"
Again, he was greeted by silence.
Uraraka sweat dropped, actually feeling quite bad for the pro hero. "Poor guy..." She whispered quietly.
Present Mic wasn't bothered by this at all and continued on.
"As it says in the application requirements, you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock urban battles after this!"
The screen behind him changed and pictures popped out. In the center was a box that says 'you are here' while the other boxes were of different alphabets. Starting to A to G.
"You can bring whatever you want with you. After the presentation, you'll head to the specified battle center. Okay?"
Oh, what a relief. Good thing I brought my staff with me.
Silence was still in the room.
Uraraka picked up the piece of paper that was in front of her and looked at it. The paper contained her full name, her number and her battle location.
Exam ticket
Examinee number: 3345
Test Location: Battle Center B
She looked back up to the screen, still holding onto her card.
The screen changed again, this time showing a picture of a few buildings and around it, black silhouettes of robots and their points.
Present Mic pointed towards the figures.
"Three different types of faux villains are stationed in each battle center." He pointed them out. "-You can earn points for each of them based on their level of difficulty."
Then the screen showed a pixel Present Mic, going towards the robots and kicking them, making the robot explode.
"Your goal, dear readers is to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing the fauz villains."
Present Mic turned his body to the audience and pointed a finger at them. "Of course, attacking other examinees and any unheroic actions are prohibited!" He waved his finger in a 'no no' way.
Uraraka could've sworn she heard someone click their tongue in annoyance.
Suddenly, a hand was raised in the air, attracting all of the audience's attention.
"May I ask a question?" A teenage boy stood up. In the lighting, he looks to have neat cropped dark blue hair and glasses. He was wearing a beige suit, probably his previous school uniform.
Present Mic pointed to him. "Okay!"
The lights turned to him, revealing himself to everyone. The boy held a piece of paper in his hand and pointed something that Uraraka couldn't see since she was in the very back.
"On the printout, there are four types of villains. If this is a misprint, then UA., the most prominent school in Japan, should be ashamed of that foolish mistake."
For some reason he is making me a bit annoyed... The brunette girl scrunched her eyebrows.
The glasses boy placed his hand on his chest. "We examinees are here in this place because we wish to be molded into exemplary heroes!" He raised his fist in the air.
She raised a brow. 'Exemplary
And then, he turned around, and suddenly pointed at someone on the back just two rows away from him. She followed his finger and eyes widened a bit in surprise to see that it was the same boy that she saved early ago.
"In addition, you over there with the curly hair-" Said boy flinched from the sudden attention and pointed at himself.
The glasses boy frowned at him. "You've been muttering this whole time. It's distracting!" He narrowed his eyes at him. "-If you are hear on a pleasure trip, then you should leave immediately!"
The green curly haired boy clamped his mouth shut with his hands.
"Sumimasen." He apologised and the people around him giggled.
Present Mic decided that this was enough and waved his hands reassuringly to the boy with glasses. "Okay, okay, Examinee Number 7111."
He gave him a thumbs up with one of his hand on his hip. "Thanks for the great message."
The screen changed and then another black robot appeared on the screen. It was big and had a 0 point above it.
"The fourth type of villain is worth zero points." Present Mic pointed at the big black figure. "-That guy is an obstacle, so to speak."
Uraraka tilted her head, confused. 'Then why did they make it, if no one can go after it?'
"There's one on every battle center, an obstacle that will go crazy in narrow spaces. It's not impossible to defeat it, but there is no reason to defeat it, either."
Present Mic waved his hand in the air, looking at the audience with a big grin. "I recommend that you listeners try to avoid it."
The boy with the glasses bow down to his waist and exclaimed,
"Thank you very much! Please excuse the interruption!" Then he sat back down and the light above him turned off.
So dramatic.
Uraraka sweat dropped and chuckled quietly, trying not to freak the people around her.
Present Mic raised his hands in the air and did some type of jazz hands with them. "That's all for me! Finally, I'll give you listeners, a present--our school motto!"
"The hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said: "A true hero is someone who overcomes life's misfortunes."
Present Mic leaned forward a bit, revealing one of his bright green eyes behind the sunglasses and said quietly. "Go beyond...-"
And then he raised his arms in the air and head tilting back, showing his grin.
"PLUS ULTRA!"
The screen behind him changed and showed the very colour words of Plus Ultra.
Uraraka gulped slightly, feeling her heart beat suddenly in excitement. Clenching her card, trying not to break it and listened to the last words of the pro hero.
"Now, everyone. Good luck suffering!"
Everyone was standing up, going to their designated battle center. She stood up as well, but then suddenly felt her 'marked' wrist warm up a bit, travelling the top of her head, to the bottom of her feet.
Uraraka looked down at her covered wrist and touched it with her hand lightly. She raised a brow, a bit confused of the sudden warmness.
And then, it vanished, leaving no traces of the sudden warmth.
Now Uraraka is even more bewildered.
What's that all about?

I hope that long enough for you guys! The next chapter is the final of the Entrance Exam. There will be some changes that are not in the anime since Uraraka is different.
