I was supposed to reach Mirai's battle simulation in this but then I got caught up with the entrance exam and then other things so I've split it into two sorry. But hopefully you still enjoy Mirai's first taste of action!


Foresight: The Knowing Hero

Chapter Three: Entrance Exam ft. Hero Costumes


The day of the entrance exam, I woke up exhausted and sleep deprived.

I had stayed up late the night before, cramming for the theory part of the exam and when I'd finally gone to bed, I'd had nothing but premonitions of the next day.

When I finally dragged myself out of bed, I had to immediately drop to the floor and start doing sit ups to both ease my nerves and wake myself up. This was it, make or break.

Breakfast was simply toast, I didn't have the stomach for anything else and besides, I didn't really keep much food in the house since it was just me. Even though I knew by leaving now, I'd arrive in plenty of time for the exam I still left, unable to handle just sitting around waiting for it.

When I arrived though, I found that I was not the only one there already. In fact the front of U.A. was filled with people in their middle school uniforms, shifting around with their nerves.

Deciding the easiest way to pass the anxious wait was to just stand still and zone it all out, I closed my eyes and just focused on my breathing, focused on one breath after another until we were called in to a huge hall with hundreds of people in it.

This was the worst part. The waiting, the speeches. I already knew the concept of the exam and I felt like I could explode with how much nervous energy I had. Robots were good in that they were easy to predict and they didn't change their minds. However, they were pretty powerful. I wasn't sure how strong I would be against them. I couldn't focus on that now though, I had a theory exam to get through.

Before I knew it though, the theory exam was over and I was wiped. I hated math. I hated history more. Don't even get me started on geography. But I knew I'd done the best I could, and although I wished I could use my sight to see myself googling the answers to the questions later that night, that wasn't how it worked. I'd tried in 6th grade.

Time seemed to fast forward as we waited for the next segment of the entrance exam to begin and suddenly I was lining up for the practical exam along with hundreds of other competitors. As I was doing some static stretches in the crowd outside the entrance gate, I caught the eye of a boy with blonde hair doing the same and he sneered at me. Yeesh. Glad we're not versing other competitors.

Some people gave me curious glances as I warmed up my sight, trying to find the most effective plan once the exam started. People always gave a second look when they noticed my eyes shining bright white, but considering there were people with heteromorphic Quirks, the attention didn't last long.

Warming up my Quirk gave me the advantage and I started running half a second before Present Mic's voice came over the speakers.

"Okay, start! What's wrong? There are no countdowns in real fights!"

I could hear the sound of people scrambling behind me as everyone immediately leapt into action. Some immediately overtook me, obviously they had Quirks that helped their speed, and others lagged behind. I heard explosions start up behind me but ignored it.

I had bigger problems now.

The first robot I came across was a one pointer in an alleyway. It turned its gun towards me but before it could do anything I leapt up into the air and planted my feet on its chest, kicking with all my force. It fell backwards, it's head smashing against the wall behind it. Sparks flew out of its neck as it shuddered to a stop and didn't move again. One point down, only a lot more to go, I thought grimly.

This technique wouldn't work with the higher points, I could barely get enough force to knock out the one pointer, I would need to think of something else for others.

I could feel a two pointer and a three pointer closing in and an idea, or a future I supposed you could say, sprang to mind. I ran around the corner charging straight at them. They both locked on to me and the three pointer fired first. I dodged, feeling the heat of the shot hit the concrete at my feet. That was close, they're too fast, I thought. Before I could regret my decision I ran for the three pointer and jumped behind it. Just as I expected, the two pointer shot, blowing the three pointer to pieces.

Grabbing a shard of metal from the ground, I ran for the two pointer, weaving as I ran so it couldn't lock on to me. I jumped, wrapping my arms around its neck before shoving the shard into a gap in the machinery. It hit circuits and the robot dropped like a puppet with its strings cut.

Another one pointer rounded the corner and I ran for it. Planting one foot on its chest and another on its head, I kicked as hard as I could and the head popped off. But I felt the strain on my leg. Seven points. Damn it. I wasn't strong enough for this. Frustration burned inside me.

If only we were allowed weapons in the entrance exam.

Four minutes later and I was up to fifteen points but I knew that was nowhere near enough.

Shit. This isn't working.

I could take down the robots but with no physical quirk it took too long and strained my body, there was no way I could gather enough points to pass. I couldn't think, my mind was racing.

I saw it in my head before it happened.

Someone's Quirk destabilising a building wall. A boy stood underneath it, panting with exertion. He didn't realise that the wall behind him was about to collapse on him.

Making a snap decision, I turned around and sprinted out of the alleyway. I rounded the corner just in time to grab the boys arm and yank him out of the way before the wall collapsed. Rubble hit the ground and dust clouded up where the boy had stood just moments before. The boy collapsed next to me, staring at the wall in shock.

"Oh wow, thank you! I hit my Quirk limit and that would have really done some damage if it hit me. Thank you, you saved me!"

"No problem," I replied vacantly as the puzzle pieces connected in my head, a vision pressing in on me. I could see a panel of results.

Rescue Points.

Of course. I grinned.

I was going to be fine. This was what I was good at.


"It seems Examinee 1042 has caught on to the second part of the test."

"Yes, she doesn't seem to be focusing on Villains anymore, just helping other contestants."

"Perhaps she just reached her Quirk limit already? Or is she naïve enough to think her villain points are enough to get her in?"

"According to the paperwork her Quirk is foresight. Perhaps she realised that there was an easier way to gain entry than only villain points."

"An impressive Quirk and one that would be very useful for a hero. I'm surprised though at the amount of Villain points she managed since her Quirk would be irrelevant."

"She probably realised that in order to keep up with her peers she would have to train a lot harder so as to not let her physical abilities hinder her. It's a rational assumption."

"Yes, indeed. Very well, shall we activate the zero point villain?"

"Yeaaahhhhhhhh!"

"Hizashi, shut up."


Villain Points: 17 Rescue Points: 34

12th Place in the Practical Examination

Not bad, I thought, my smile growing as I realised I had made it. I was going to U.A. High School. Not bad.


It was the second day of school and I could already feel a routine developing.

I came back into the classroom after lunch with Mina dragging me by the arm as Kirishima and Sero cackled to each other behind me on Kaminari's behalf. Poor Denki had been extremely unsuccessful in his attempt to ask a girl from general studies out. I cringed on his behalf. It wasn't like she was out of his league, but apparently Kaminari had yet to realise that there was a time and place for certain things.

Kaminari slumped into his seat in defeat as Kirishima and Sero continued to laugh like a pair of hyenas. I sighed, passing Kaminari on the way to my seat and giving him a consolatory pat on the back. Hopefully next time he would be more successful. I'd barely made it back to my seat and sat down when the door burst open.

"I am… coming through the door like a normal person!"

My eyes flew upwards and I watched as All Might came into the room, dressed in a red hero costume. Wow! I'd never actually met the hero, but he was the number one hero for a reason and actually seeing him in person was shocking. He was huge. Even larger than Endeavor who had scared me when I met him. The rest of the class was reacting with equal enthusiasm as he walked up to the podium.

"I teach hero basic training. It is a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. You'll take the most units of this subject. Let's get right into it! This is what we'll do today… Combat training!"

I couldn't stop the grin that formed on my face even if I wanted to. I had dreamed of today, but I hadn't know how soon it was coming up. It seemed that now was my opportunity to finally show my Quirk and its potential in the field.

My smile only grew as panels opened in the wall on the side of the classroom, showing cases which I knew held our costumes.

Finally.

I had been waiting anxiously for the costumes and my excitement was plainly visible to my classmates around me. Shoto raised his eyebrow at me to my left and I could see Ochaco bouncing in her seat and grinning next to me.

"Costumes made based on your Quirk registrations and requests you sent in before school started. After you change, gather in Ground Beta!"

With that, All Might shot from the room like he'd never been there in the first place and I huffed a laugh before standing up. I went to collect my costume but stopped when I realised majority of the class had rushed to the panels and were crowding around it, anxiously trying to reach their costumes. Deciding it wouldn't make much difference, I decided to just wait, leaning against my desk in the process.

"You ordered the visor, didn't you?" Shoto enquired from his desk.

I turned and saw him watching me. He hadn't moved an inch from his seat in the rush, probably coming to the same conclusion that I did that there were too many people. I smiled again and sent him a knowing look. "So you do pay attention to what I say."

Yesterday had apparently not been a fluke. It had been on one of our afternoons at the park that I had been filling out my hero costume request. I remembered talking to myself and occasionally posing questions to the universe and him. Both ignored.

The visor for my uniform were in fact the main cause of my excitement. Sure I was looking forward to seeing how the rest of it looked but it was the focal point.

Shoto merely nodded at me before he moved forward to get his own costume as the hoard of classmates disappeared and I followed him, seizing the briefcase with the large '10' on it. I quickly made my way to the locker rooms to get changed.


I had to admit, they'd done a really good job with the suit.

I thought I looked awesome, childlike glee bubbled in my chest and I tried to push it down. My costume was a sky blue, lighter than my hair colour so it contrasted nicely. It covered me from wrists to ankles with a black utility belt and black boots. The utility belt was empty except for a custom made black baton. At first it looked like a police baton before you took it out and it extended into a bō. I grinned down at it and Yaoyorozu noticed my excitement.

"Is that a staff? I use one as well."

"Oh really? Cool! I'm assuming you don't need to carry one since you can just make one any time. Wow," I sighed, "I wish I could do that."

Yaoyorozu's Quirk was incredible. We hadn't really had much of an opportunity to speak over the last two days but I really admired her. Especially the amount of study she must have had to put in to be as efficient at creating things as she was. I knew she was the other student in the class to get in from recommendations aside from Shoto and it really showed.

"Yes, it's quite handy. It's a shame though that I had to design my costume like this though." She responded and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks as she rubbed her neck while looking down at herself. Her costume was very open, and I couldn't help but stare at her breasts for a moment before my gaze escaped sideways. Yeah, that was a lot of skin and a lot of boobs. But I knew it was necessary for her Quirk as did she.

"Well, look on the bright side, at least you're wearing more than Hagakure is right now." I quipped in an effort to cheer her up. I watched as Hagakure turned around from where she was at her locker and jumped in agreement with me. I smiled, mainly hoping that I was looking in the area where her face was rather than her chest. It was quite difficult to gage since all she wore was a pair of gloves and boots.

"Yeah! I feel so exposed like this! But if I want to beat people I'm going to have to be stealthy! I just hope nobody stares at me." Her hands were moving around wildly as she spoke but I had no idea what the expression on her face was. The rest of the girls nodded in agreement.

"Mineta is going to have a field day with our costumes. Ribbit." Asui spoke as she made her way over to our group as well. Everyone groaned at that.

"Perv," I heard Jiro mutter under her breath and I agreed completely. Every time I'd seen the little runt he'd been either drooling at a girl or discussing how to find a way to touch Yaoyorozu's breasts. I didn't want to see his reaction to us in our hero costumes.

Everybody except for Jiro had form fitting designs and I almost regretted not designing mine like hers. She looked cool, plain and simple. But mine needed to be skin tight. My battle style was close combat, I could hardly do that effectively if there was loose material for people to grab. Since Jiro's fighting style was presumably not close combat it suited her just fine.

"Mirai, what is this for?" I turned and Ochaco was holding out my visor to me with a puzzled expression on her face. I smiled, ah yes, the best part of the costume. It was a simple square black visor that covered my eyes with a thick black strap on the back. A line running horizontally through the middle of the visor glowed blue and I smiled. Just like I asked for, as long as the key parts worked.

"It's my visor. I'll be using it when I fight," I reached out for it and placed it on my head. The visibility was clear and I saw that they had installed some basic programs along with the main reason for it. I watched as the screen lit up and told me the distances from myself to the other girls, analysing their speeds.

There were a few other neat side options down the side that I would have to look at but right now I was excited about the red button on the outside just above my right ear. I pressed down on it.

And my head felt quiet.

Wow, I thought, feeling extremely unsettled from the sensation. It was weird. I didn't have a single vision niggling in the corner of my brain, trying to force its way to be shown. My brain was silent, my Quirk was muted.

I was torn between awed relief and feeling deeply unsettled.

"What do the buttons do?" Mina probed as she watched me.

"One of them blacks out the front so I can't see anything." I explained plainly, still adjusting to the strange new sensation of my Quirk being out of reach. By their surprised expressions I was guessing they hadn't expected that. "It helps me fight sometimes. I can just be absorbed by the visions and don't have to worry about extra stimuli to interpret. Once I got used to it, it's actually quite easy."

"And the other?"

"Basically the opposite, it nullifies my Quirk."

"Huh?!" Was the response as they all stared at me in surprise.

"Just like seeing the present can be distracting, seeing the future is also risky. There are times where I need to stay focused on what's happening now. Especially in tense situations. The more intense a situation, the more possible futures it holds, and of course, with all those pressing on my head it gets hard to focus. Sometimes I get swept up in the visions, and that can be dangerous." I admitted, surprised that I was telling them one of my weaknesses. Indeed I was really glad that the visor had arrived. I couldn't wait to try it out.

"Wow!"

"Impressive."

"Ribbit."

"That's so cool, Mirai!"

"Ah, I see, so the visor sends out a wavelength that counteracts the part of your brain involved with your quirk, that's really interesting."

"Yeah," I couldn't help the blush that covered my face at their responses. I was glad they thought it was cool. There'd been a reason I had excitedly blabbed about it to Shoto, perhaps that's why he also remembered it. Now it was time to see how well everything worked.

"Alright let's go girls!"


Reviews:

kirika o7 - Yeah, I kind of figured I'd get as much out as I can to give people a feel for the fic and also before I get too busy to post. Don't get your hopes up unfortunately I'll definitely slow down posting soon. Yeah I didn't want to force her into the Uraraka-Midoriya-Iida friend group yet because they've kind of got their own development that's already been covered so I wanted to see how she'd go with the friendliest guys in class. Plus I just picture this sibling dynamic when she's the older sister when they do something stupid but they're overprotective of her as well so we'll just have to see how it pans out. IDK how Shoto will feel about it yet, they're not at the stage where that's a priority but it's an interesting path to look at. Yes I'm pretty happy with how the park turned out. But we'll just have to see what happens. Thank you!

And NOW we can go for the battle simulation.
