"Come on Toshi! I know you did awesomely!" Izuku encouraged his friend over the phone, his letter from UA clutched carefully in his free hand.
"Says Mister 'All-Purpose Magneto'" Shinsou snarked over the phone.
"If I'm Magneto. Know what that makes you?~" Izuku said in a sing-song voice.
"Izuku. No. Make that joke and I'm hanging up and not telling-" Hitoshi began before Izuku continued.
"Professor Xavier!~"
"…."
Click!
Izuku blinked and looked at his phone in indignation before puffing his cheeks up like a chipmunk with a huff.
"Meanie" He muttered childishly at his phone before putting it on his bench and staring nervously at his letter.
'Toshi will be opening his letter right now. I can't wait too long. We promised we'd let each other know as soon as possible' Izuku thought to himself.
He took a deep breath and tore the letter open. A slip of paper, an ID card, and a small metallic disk slid out.
"I AM HERE!"
"Holy-" Izuku leant back on his seat and nearly fell over as the hologram suddenly appeared right in front of his face "All Might!?"
"-as a projection! Now you may be wondering why I'm here right? Well the answer is simple!" Izuku watched, enraptured as his idol talked to him as a recorded hologram "I actually came to Musutafu to get a teaching job here at UA! To teach the next generation and watch them grow!" His grand speech is suddenly cut off as a hand appeared from off screen and motioned for him to move along, making the giant man make a nervous sound "Move it along? We still have how many more of these to do?" Izuku couldn't help but sweat-drop at the scene on his screen "Right, yes. Well. On the Written exam, you placed in third with 96%" Izuku smiled proudly to himself "And during the practical exam you got 49 Villain Points, just enough to pass."
"49? What? How? I swear I counted correctly…." Izuku's muttering was only stopped by All Might continuing.
"But Villain Points weren't all that you were graded on! In fact, after the practical's were over. The young girl you saved came in and ask if we could give you some of her points! Your actions saved that girl. And not only that! You also spurred her into action! And what sort of Hero school would we be if we didn't reward such heroic actions?" Izuku's eyes widened and began to moisten "Izuku Midoriya! 60 Rescue Points! And Ochako Uraraka! 45 Rescue Points! With that, your total is now 109 Points! Placing you in first place My Boy!"
Izuku fell limp in his chair and stared blankly at the hologram, his senses devolving into a numbing static as those words rushed over him and filled his mind. He was in such a state of shock that he didn't even notice All Might's final words or the hologram turning off until five minutes later. Blinking as he finally refocused back into reality, he heard his phone vibrating and quickly checked it with shaking hands.
Eraser-Stan (4:14pm):
Izu. Holy shit. I got in…. I actually got into the Hero Course!
Eraser-Stan (4:15pm):
I got 55 points. Apparently rescue points exist and I got a bunch for using my Quirk to make people move out of the way of debris and stuff.
Eraser-Stan (4:17pm):
Izu?
Eraser-Stan (4:17pm):
Dude?
Eraser-Stan (4:17pm):
Is everything okay?
Eraser-Stan (4:18pm):
Did you not make it into the Hero Course?
Eraser-Stan (4:18pm):
Izuku….Are you okay?
Smol Might (4:18pm):
I got in!
Eraser-Stan (4:19pm):
Dude. We can talk about- wait what?
Smol Might (4:19pm):
I GOT 109 POINTS! ANDJKHOANSKJ NAWO
Smol Might (4:20pm):
I got first place!
Eraser-Stan (4:21pm):
OMG Izu! Congrats!
Smol Might (4:22pm):
I'll tell you about it later! But I'm currently screaming, and mum is worried!
Eraser-Stan (4:24pm):
Wait. No. Tell me now.
Eraser-Stan (4:25pm):
Izuku.
Eraser-Stan (4:25pm):
Zuku. I'm warning you.
Eraser-Stan (4:26pm):
Fuck it. I'm coming over.

"It's our first day at UA!" Izuku excitedly babbled as they walked up to the massive steel gates, the 'UA Barrier'.
"No, really? Would you care to repeat that for the 32nd time?" Shinsou snarked good-naturedly.
Izuku puffed his cheeks up like a squirrel and pouted, a nearby duo of girls swooning at how adorable he looked. His pout soon turned into a devilish grin and he leant as close to Shinsou as he could.
"IT'S OUR FIRST DAY AT UA!"
"Son of a-!" Shinsou yelped while scrambling backwards and nearly falling on his ass.
Izuku just giggled and began to run into the school as Shinsou chased him. Shouting threats and expletives the whole way.
"Get back here you green haired menace!" Hitoshi shouted as his far more physically fit friend began to pull away.
"Never!" Izuku yelled while entering the doorway to the main campus building.
And thus began the first, and sadly for Iida not last, game of indoor UA tag. Complete with twists, turns and unsuspecting participants in the form of other students. Truly a marvelous sport! Not to mention it was three dimensional! Eventually they reached 1-A though and walked through the door.
'You have got to be kidding me' In front of Izuku was not only the blue haired teen that had chewed him out a week ago.
No, if it was just the blue haired teen, things wouldn't be so bad. Instead it was him and Bakugou that met his gaze. Katsuki Bakugou, the teen that had made his life hell as a child…but also led to him having some of the best years of his life. Even with that though, Izuku was in no hurry to talk to Bakugou…Or look at him…Or interact with him in any sort of way. Instead he followed Shinsou's lead and tried to scoot around the edge of the class silently. Though, this action was not to be, however.
"Its you! The plain looking boy" Izuku turned around and saw the round-faced girl he saved during the entrance exam pointing at him from the doorway.
Izuku smiled nervously, and the amused snort from Hitoshi didn't help in any capacity. He felt his cheeks flush a little. Before he could reply however, the blue haired teen seemingly appeared by his side. Startling him and making Hitoshi snicker loudly as he walked up to Izuku once again.
"Hello! I am Iida Tenya from Somei Academy! It is a pleasure to meet the three of you." He said somewhat loudly.
"A-ah! I'm Izuku Midoriya. Its nice to meet you Iida-san" Midoriya greeted, and as Uraraka opened her mouth to speak, Iida beat her to it.
"Midoriya-san. You perceived the true nature of the entrance exam. I hate to admit it, but you are the superior candidate"
Red eyes turned to the doorway with an intensity that almost made Midoriya believe that his ex-friend had learned to cause explosions with his very eyeballs. Mouth twisting into a furious scowl and hands twisting into a familiar, threatening, position.
"If you're here to make friends. Then leave." Izuku and the three students around him turned to the voice.
'A giant yellow caterpillar?!' Uraraka and Midoriya thought with paling faces 'Wait no. Someone in a yellow sleeping bag?' He realized.
"This is the Hero Course" The man drawled while draining a juice pouch in an instant.
The group of four silently split down the middle with confused looks as he wormed his way inside the classroom, the chattering class slowly dying into silence as more and more people noticed him. Standing up while still inside the sleeping bag, he looked over the now silent class with bored eyes. Multiple students felt shivers run up and down their bodies as his black eyes washed over them with disinterest.
"It took you 8 seconds to quiet down. Time is a precious resource…None of you are particularly rational, are you?" A few students' eyes twitched at his dry dialogue "My name is Aizawa Shouta. I am your homeroom teacher"
Shinsou was one of the people angry at him, right up until the man climbed out of his sleeping bag. Suddenly all of that suppressed anger turned to pure awe. His shoulders dropped and his arms fell limp as he stared wide eyed at the man. Izuku also had a similar reaction, though his was far less dramatic…at least until the fanboy smile appeared.
Both boys listened and watched with rapt attention as he pulled out a blue and white tracksuit and showed it to the class.
"Put these on and meet me at the grounds outside"

"I can't believe we have Eraserhead as our homeroom teacher! Izu! Eraserhead!" Shinsou said while shaking Izuku as they stood outside with the rest of the class.
"I know, Toshi. Its so awesome! I never knew his name was Aizawa though..."
"Oh my god I now know the name of Eraserhead…" Shinsou realized with a stunned whisper.
Izuku couldn't help but smile nervously as his friend basically shut down once again. His recently learned knowledge having been too much for his poor brain to handle.
'I think I broke him…'
"Alright class." Aizawa announced himself, the class turning their attention to him "We'll be doing a Quirk apprehension test"
The class began to murmur to themselves before Uraraka spoke up.
"Wait. A Quirk apprehension test? What about the entrance ceremony or guidance sessions?"
"Welcome to UA's 'freestyle' approach to teaching" Aizawa said with a deadpan expression.
The murmurs begun anew before being quickly silenced by a sharp cough from the shaggy haired Hero.
"Midoriya what was your record for your ball throw in Middle School?" Aizawa asked while motioning him over and holding a specialized softball out to him.
"About 53 meters" Izuku said while grabbing the softball and standing inside the white circle on the ground.
"Okay. I want you to try and throw it as far as possible. But this time, use your Quirk"
"My Quirk? Okay…Are there any rules?"
"Just don't leave the circle. And don't take all day" Izuku nodded slowly.
Emerald flames began to flicker over small portions of his skin and clothes. The flames small and dark yet still burning no portion on his clothes or body. Everyone other than Shinsou, Uraraka and Iida watched with rapt attention. Bakugou ground his teeth together and flexed his fingers while a girl with heterochromia blinked and payed a little bit more interest.
Izuku held up his palm, allowing the ball to seemingly hang off his palm, appearing as if it had been stuck to it. Suddenly the emerald flames began to grow in size and grow a bit brighter, surprising everyone watching with the sudden increase. Shinsou, though, got to snicker at all the surprised looks. They all saw Izuku hold the arm that had the ball attached to it with his other arm, in some sort of bracing motion, and place his legs in a stance that was low to the ground and would help him keep his balance.
'This isn't like the entrance exam. I have time to prepare and make sure this one chance is all I need. I can make 40 points in total. 14 pulling the ball towards my palm at full power. 26 pushing at full power. Wind the spring up more…Don't break it. Wind it up…more….more. Now!'
All at once Izuku severed the connection between the 14 points that were pulling it towards his palm. The two groups of 7 points fizzling away instantaneously as with a thunderous crack and an explosion of green flames the ball flung itself out of his palm and into the air. Many of the girls screamed as the students and Pro-Hero were buffeted by a small shockwave of air from the sudden launch. Aizawa himself keeping an eye on his phone as the numbers rapidly rose before finally stopping with a small chime.
"Here at UA you will all strive to grow stronger. In body, mind and Quirk" he turned his hand to show the students Izuku's result.
923.4m
"Which is why we're doing this right now and not later. The sooner we get a benchmark. The sooner we can break it." Aizawa said seriously.
Everyone looked over at Izuku in astonishment, the teen himself keeled over and panting as the flames on him rapidly diminished. Sweat covered his form and every labored breath caused his entire body to shake with exertion.
"DEKU!" Multiple students yelped and jumped away from the volatile blonde after his scream.
They cleared a path as he launched himself at the exhausted teen, his palms glowing with sweat that was just waiting to ignite. Many of them, who could follow the surprisingly fast leap at least, watched almost as if in slow-motion as the teen flew through the air. His upper body spinning, dragging his legs, and most importantly, his right arm in a swinging motion towards Izuku. The limb blurring and tiny explosions heating up his palm. Izuku himself stepping back and raising a palm up in defense.
Twing!(1)
Both students blink in surprise when their genetic powers refuse to activate. In their surprise both of them faltered in their movements, easily enough for Aizawa to act. In a mere instant three strands of his capture weapon are wrapped around Bakugou and pulling him back and into the ground harshly. The teen struggling in the capture weapon and trying futilely to activate his Quirk.
"What the fuck! Why won't my Quirk activate!?"
The entire class of students stare at the two students and teacher in shock. Midoriya lowering his arm and grinning widely along with Shinsou at the live demonstration of Aizawa's Quirk.
"That's because of my Quirk. Try something like that again and you will be expelled. Understood?" Shouta ground out while glaring down at Bakugou with glowing red eyes.
Bakugou growled and locked his red eyes onto the glowing red eyes of his teacher. Begrudgingly he nodded.
"Good. Don't make me use my Quirk again…Gives me serious dry eye"
'Seriously! But that's such a cool power!' Most of the class thought at the same time.
The capture weapon unraveled from around Bakugou and slithered back to the Pro Hero as if it was alive, that only made it more awesome to Shinsou though. And when Izuku made it back to him, the class was subjected to their first showcase of the duo's hero fanaticism.
"Oh my god! We got to see Eraserhead's Quirk and signature Capture Weapon!" Izuku chattered excitedly "I got to experience Eraserhead's Quirk!"
"I'm so jealous!" Shinsou seethed, to the confusion of the class "What did it feel like? Come on Izu. You gotta tell-"
"While this is certainly a…fascinating exchange. You two are wasting everyone's time" Despite him saying this, he couldn't help the slight rush of warmth that filled his being from the duo's enthusiasm about him "Now. We will be running through this activity and seven others. You will all be able to use your Quirks to try and get the highest score possible-"
"We can use our Quirks!?"
"Anyway we'd like?"
"This is gonna be so much fun!" A pink haired and skinned girl with small yellow horns said excitedly while raising an arm up high.
The warm and pleasant feeling pervading Aizawa's body was suddenly lost in an onslaught of chilling cold annoyance. He turned to face the class, but the pink skinned girl (Mina Ashido, his mind supplied) more specifically.
"Fun you say? Okay then. New rule. The person who comes in last over all eight events will be deemed hopeless and expelled from UA immediately." Instantaneously all of the mirth and enthusiasm was exterminated from the group of teens.
"What!?"
"You can't do this!"
"This is unfair!" Uraraka yelled out while waving her fist above her head.
"Unfair?" The class was silenced by the Pro Hero's voice "Unfair you say. Are Natural Disasters fair? Will a tsunami halt its approach and allow a city to evacuate or move away with everything they want? No. It will not stop, it will destroy everything in its path until it no longer has the power to do so. As will Villains. You all have signed up to be Hero's. Here at UA we will push you to be the best Hero's you can be, and then we will push you further. Every teacher here has made full use of our 'freestyle' teaching policy to make sure every student here can follow our schools motto. "Go beyond. Plus Ultra.". If you can't even do that, then you don't deserve to be at this school. Let alone be a Pro." Everyone was stunned silent by his words.
Shouta watched the various reactions and couldn't help but grin at the few who met his gaze with challenging glares. Those who refused to back down and would stubbornly meet his challenge head on. He noticed most of the class fit in the 'Im-nervous-and-worried-this-is-a-bad-idea-but-i-wont-back-down' category. Though, his eyes narrowed at one student in particular. The student was extremely short and appeared to have purple balls on top of his head. Aizawa knew that the balls were his Quirk 'Pop-off' though, of course he did. He memorized the Quirk of every student in his class after all. Instead of meeting his challenge head on, instead of being nervous but still willing to try. Above all else, Mineta Minoru looked ready to forfeit. And thus, he had already gained Aizawa's ire. He would be keeping a very special eye on Mineta going forward.

Izuku had managed to do pretty well on almost every event, coming in the top 7 for most of them. Though, of course, because Izuku was Izuku, the world had decided to fuck with him. How did the world fuck with him? Pretty easily actually. It just had to make it so that the prettiest goddamn girl he had ever met was next to him during the side-step exercise. He had peripherally noticed her earlier of course, but as he was using the 'spring-effect' of his Quirk in a similar manner to the small purple haired boy and his Quirk, he had looked over. And from there had begun the second most awkward experience of his life. He had looked over the girl, her white and red hair done up in a ponytail and her grey and cyan eyes focused forwards. His eyes hadn't even moved from her face and its angelic features before the embarrassment had started. He had lost control of one of the pairs of points he was using to keep himself both anchored and bouncing and sent himself flying in the opposite direction of the beautiful girl. The sudden motion, yelp of fear and crash of Izuku's body was enough to catch everyone's attention.
Of course it hadn't been too bad, barely a bruise and shallow scrape, and it wouldn't slow him down at all, but it was still the most embarrassing thing he had done by far in his life up until that point. The worst part? Shinsou had been watching.
But regardless, now they all stood before Aizawa as he looked them over. He tapped his phone a few times before tilting it away from himself and making a hologram appear in midair, displaying everyone's results. Izuku found his fairly easily.
"Holy crap…I came in fourth" Izuku whispered to himself while staring at his name.
"I-I'm last?" A nasally voice was heard, causing Izuku to turn to the source.
He saw the boy he had very quickly identified as a shameless pervert staring at the screen in horror. Izuku looked and saw the name listed dead-last, as the 21st. He couldn't help but wince.
"Mineta Minoru" The class turned to Aizawa as he stared down Mineta "You were better than I expected. But still not good enough" The smile which had been growing on the teens face fell like a landslide down a mountain "So you will not be expelled. But you will no longer be a part of the Hero Course. Leave." Mineta looked ready to cry.
"B-But there are so many great babes here!" He looked particularly at Momo's chest when he said this.
Shouko had to suppress a shudder and was suddenly glad of the strict rule her father placed about wearing bindings over a bra. Even with her 'assets' minimized by both the bindings and baggy jumpsuit, the little perverts eyes had still passed over her far too many times for her to ever feel comfortable around him. Momo meanwhile wrapped her arms around herself and blushed crimson while scowling at Mineta.
Aizawa noticed Momo's actions and all the girls disgust and scowled "I will not give you another chance. Leave." Mineta began to cry as he ran away.
If any girl was asked if they felt sorry during that moment though. The unanimous answer would be 'no'. When Aizawa coughed again, they all turned to him.
"All of you go get changed. You have no more lessons for today so you may go if you wish. But if you do decide to stay here longer, I would suggest learning your way around the main campus." With that said, he began to walk away.

"You sure you want to go home 'Toshi?" Izuku asked his friend who was slouched over and looked even more tired than usual…somehow.
"Yeah. The tests, especially that godforsaken endurance run, really took a lot out of me. I'm just gonna go straight to bed" Hitoshi said, yawning as if to make a point.
"Okay. I think I'm going to stay behind. Hopefully memorize the layout of this place" Izuku explained himself with a grin.
"Sure thing, cya later Izu" With that said, Shinsou walked away while Izuku decided to explore the school.
He walked down the halls for a few minutes, sketching a basic map into a notebook as he walked before accidently bumping into someone. He looked up, an apology already being spoken on reflex before trailing off mid word as he realized who he bumped into. Heterochromia eyes blinked blankly at him and he felt his brain momentarily shut down before rebooting into his apology program.
"I'msosorryididntrealizeyouwerethere. Ohmygoshimadeafoolofmyselfijustwanttocrawlintoaholeand-"
"It's fine. Please don't panic" She said in a monotone voice.
Izuku took a few breaths and smiled shyly at her. A small blush crossing his cheeks as he scratched his head with one hand and held the other out for a handshake.
"I-I'm your new classmate. Ink-gah! Izuku! Izuku Midoriya" He blushed more at nearly saying his mothers name when introducing himself "Oh wait. Y-You probably know that already, don't you? Ahhh, sorry! I-I can be a bit of a ditz at times. N-Not to say that I'm like-"
"I did not know your name was Izuku Midoriya before this" She said blankly, making him breath a sigh of relief "I am Shouko Todoroki"
He nodded with a small smile, though quickly became uncomfortable at the silence that enveloped the two of them while she stared at him.
"S-So. Are you also exploring the school?" He asked lamely.
"Yes." Izuku sweat-dropped at the complete lack of social skills she seemed to have.
"Would you, uh, y'know. Maybe. Wanna walk around together?" He cringed and curled up slightly at how lame he sounded.
"Sure" He looked up and blinked in surprise.
"Oh, uh. Okay…" He just began walking down a hallway to their left, Shouko keeping pace.
Izuku quickly went back to his map to try and distract himself from the silence.
"Your Quirk. You make flames." He nearly tripped over his feet when hearing her suddenly speak.
"O-Oh, uhhhh, yeah. They don't actually do anything unless I use the second part of my Quirk" Shouko raised an eyebrow, intrigue barely visible on her usually monotone features.
"Second part of your Quirk?"
"Right! Sorry. I didn't show it. Sorry! You must be confused. Uhhhhhhhh. Here!" tiny greens flames, about the size of his pinky appeared on a few spots over him.
Shouko watched as he inhaled, and his green flames sped into his mouth and then a tiny bout of familiar orange flame was blown out of his mouth. She could actually feel the heat from this one, so she knew it was now a regular flame.
'He turns his "Telekinetic Flames" into regular flames? That's….unique' Shouko thought.
"Interesting…" She said out loud before going silent again.
Izuku waited a few moments before starting to walk again, sighing at the complete lack of conversation as they walked down the hall together.

I…am so sorry. I didn't realize it'd been like two months.
But I'll be honest, I hit some serious writers block for this chap. I think I've gotten over it. So that's good.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chap, and if you want to join my Discord. Here is the link!
