Chapter – two – U.A. Entrance Exam

Answer to A lost Nuffians and Loxxe: Glad the both of you found some time to tell me about the POVs, i wasn't sure about how much of it i was using. The problem of seeing everything from someone else's view and telling the same information won't vanish for now, since the next chapters are already done, but I will take it into account. Most of the story is actually from her point of view it's just that... remember when i said that she is mad but doesn't know it. Well since nothing abnormal will be noticed by her and thus not written in her viewpoint it will have to be noticed by those around her, when it happens. So that is something I will have to rewrite in other POVs regardless. it will start with very small details ranging from sudden reactions to bad days to ?.

The next chapter I think will suffer from the many POVs that may be unnecessary will be during the USJ, but I will look into it again and see if some things can simply happen entirely in other POVs instead of repeating themselves. There will be a bit of it in the battle trial but i think it makes sense in this particular instance.

Having said all that here is the next chapter... i noticed right now but i really need to start thinking about actual names for the chapters instead of marking them as part of particular events in the timeline.

Almost forgot the grammar mistakes! I really don't know where they are. I am using a word processor but what it doesn't get around are some typing errors that result in actual words that are correct just not in context. I've read my own chapters many times and i do find errors like that but my brain sometimes still processes the actual meaning even when the words are slightly different and I end up missing some anyways. I think the rate at which these mistakes are happening is going down really fast. I already knew English but after spending some days actually writing, it was really easy to notice how much I didn't know how to write, because even while understanding the language i made SO MANY MISTAKES! Thankfully leaning how to write is easier the secound time around.

POV: Sakura

These have certainly been a busy few years. The first year right after remembering everything was definitely the happiest for me. Unfortunately my circumstances went on to greatly inconvenience my parents, I know they don't blame me for it but I still recognize the size of the problem. During the second year I grew very big horns on the side of my head and by the time I was twelve most of my body was covered on moss and a huge flower had blossomed on top of my head, that wasn't the last surprise as my left eye's color changed from purple to some shade between red and orange along the way. Unfortunately differently from the spiritual version of Kingprotea I don't have pads on my hands and that means I may have a slightly less cute impression of a kaiju than my counterpart, but I didn't let that bother me for long.

I will be making about fifteen years soon and am reaching the 8 meter tall mark. Despite my growth no longer being constant it seems, somehow, the rate still got to be around a meter per year and I still haven't figured out what controls my current rate of growth. I still haven't showed my teleportation skill to anyone else, not even Izuku. Explaining gigantification as some kind of late bloomer quirk can make sense but adding teleportation to the list would throw suspicion that I may have been involved with some very dangerous villain so I didn't think it was a good idea.

Thankfully my presence didn't mislead Izuku from his first meeting with All Might, if it had happened I was considering getting away from this world in an attempt to correct that mistake. Taking away Izuku's dream from him, even if he was unaware of it is not something I could forgive myself for.

I know that Izuku must have met All Might on that day for sure because I questioned him about his training and he told me he'd found someone trustworthy to help him, I even got to go along once and confirm it was actually All Might even if they didn't tell me directly. The both of them really don't know how to be subtle about a secret and acting as though I was none the wiser got some interesting reactions out of them. No reaction however was better than Yagi-san's initial reaction to my size. He thought I was using my quirk illegally and did a spit take with his blood when I told this was actually my natural size and that I could be a lot bigger than that.

I didn't do any training besides control training because it is important and because it's definitely not easy to find something I can't lift even in my minimal size and both me and Izuku agree that I could probably easily lift a building, that is, if it was stable enough to not turn to ruble the moment I separated it from the ground. Unfortunately I didn't manage to make any friends besides Izuku. I got to meet Katsuki a few more times but not enough to become completely familiar with him again, for some reason we don't trade any words even when our eyes cross. Because of my current size and moss covered body I don't even know if he managed to connect the current me to the one he saw when we were both small children.

After a good night's sleep it was time to prepare myself for the U.A. entrance exam.

I am not really worried about the practical part of the test and am instead interested on the written exam. Because of my size I couldn't really write properly until very little time ago. My strength didn't actually grow in proportion to my size but actually much faster so just making a giant pencil for me didn't really cut it. It was to the point I had to learn how to write by using a paint-brush and just painting the words instead, it certainly proved to be much easier than not breaking the pencil even if takes so much more time to have anything properly written that way. Another problem I had was the size if the words. My eyes can see like a telescope, probably because of their size but my hands aren't that precise and writing little words is next to impossible even a single symbol written by me at any reasonable time frame would be the size of a normal notebook page.

That is the reason I am curious about the written test I want to know just what they plan to do since I am certainly going to make it under special circumstances.

After getting ready to go out I say goodbye to my parents in my usual whisper like voice. I get out through the very big door that was put there just for me. How I miss the time when their hugs could actually surround my whole body and make me feel safer instead of just making afraid to break them.

I didn't need a second step across the street so I just touched Izuku's window to see if he's awake but it doesn't seem like it so I just got on my way. He is probably going there by train and I can't fit in one of those so I have to be on my way very early. There aren't many passersby but I notice that just like always my size calls a lot of attention. Despite walking there my step is a lot bigger than that of the normal person so it doesn't take super long to arrive even if I did it very early.

The gate was already open but there wasn't anybody here so I just tried to enter and hopefully whatever security systems they have would allow me entrance considering today is the day of the written exam.

I got through without problem but I guess my aimless wondering pissed of someone because they sent a teacher here to guide me. I am pretty sure this one is actually Present Mike don't know his actual name.

"HELLO THERE BIG LISTENER YOU DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHERE TO GO SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE EXAMS!?" that was so loud I had to cover my ears even considering how durable I am. "Could you be quieter, I may be a giant but that doesn't make me deaf." I can see he is surprised by tone and the volume of my voice in relation to it but before he can answer I continue "before you scream at me some more I would like to say that I am indeed here for the exam, I arrived earlier because I wasn't sure how long it would take to walk here and because I will be making the written exam for those with special necessities".

"You are an educated little girl aren't you, in that case come on I will take you to your written exam site I think I remember you now, the girl with the quirk that is similar to mount lady's" I didn't miss the little girl pun but what he said after bothered me even more. I've already had enough of Izuku nerding about how this recent hero called Mount lady has a very similar ability to mine in the last year.

"just for curiosity's sake you know that using your quirk without a license is illegal right?" why can't people properly believe I am not breaking a law at least a one time without having me explain myself " this is actually my natural size, if I was using my quirk I would be even bigger" he raised his hands as if to try and placate me before answering " I got it, seeing is believing I guess. To think you are actually almost 4 times bigger than me without using your quirk would be quite difficult without seeing it first. Yours is quite the mutation"

I followed him round the campus to my test site and couldn't stop myself from noticing the gazes of many curious students looking at me through the windows I guess I must make quite the unusual sight from there not that I have ever actually seem someone else my size.

When we got there was another teacher this one was very recognizable she looked at us before saying "hello there you must be the giant girl, you can call me midnight, or Nemuri-sensei if you feel like it. I will be the one responsible for explaining your test for you as well as reading the questions and writing the answers in your stead. Do you have any questions?" After waiting for a bit and getting no answers from me she continued "We can start whatever you want but the time limit is up until 11 a.m. regardless I hope you understand that, in case you don't manage to finish it in that time frame you have the right of attempting to do the test again tomorrow."

It was somewhat rushed but I managed to somehow finish the test within that time frame, I wondered if I should just do it tomorrow after all but better not waste the chance, the test wasn't even that bad mostly… if you don't count math. And I was so confident in it too but without being able to write down the calculations it turned into an almost insurmountable hurdle. That might be my worst score but hopefully the rest can make up for those exercises.

"good job" I heard she say right beside me, even though she was the one reading and writing why is it that she doesn't sound tired at all. "I think I might have a slight headache"

"In this case you should use this time to rest. The practical tomorrow, if you want I can take you to somewhere you can rest, we won't have anywhere your size though, so you'll have to sit on the ground" This kindness in a moment of necessity (my necessity) "if it isn't any problem then please lead the way" I said before she started leading me around. She isn't as loud but she is definitely another chatterbox. How can she act as if the last few hours didn't happen…? As expected, the mental fortitude of a Hero is amazing.

- The next day -

It was a very big room. There were already e few people there apparently just waiting, I could see how my entrance called their attention but they rapidly dismissed me. Indeed there was nowhere I could sit aside from the ground.

We were approach by Present Mic and he started a conversation with midnight, that was also accompanying me today, that I ignored in favor of looking around until she called my attention again. "Good luck on your exam, girly, I will be watching" before winking and walking away. She definitely knows how to make an impression.

"So big listener you'll have to stay behind me before and during the explanation of the exam so why don't you…" at this moment he called me closer and whispered "why don't you go along with my words I will try to lift everyone's spirits, you have a very loud voice so why I say HEY! You go along and also say Hey! To get everyone else going along" if this was an anime I would be sweat dropping… "I don't really want to call that sort of attention to myself so I will have to refuse"

"Such a cold answer, well if you don't want to them there's nothing I can do about it" he said before walking back to his place in the podium. And I just waited a bit behind him sitting on the ground in fetal position as the room was gradually filling up.

Izuku was among the last to arrive, he looked very excited and waved at me, which I answered with a wave of my own. It was shortly after that Present Mic started explaining the rules of the exam, I paid attention because it wasn't something remembered in any detail. The final phrase resonated with me "A true Hero is someone who overcomes life's misfortunes" I am not completely unfortunate but I certainly have had my own set of inconveniences on the years up until now.

So the exam would be like this the exam would last ten minutes there were various mock cities where our testes would take part in 'just how rich are they that they can build mock cities'. Inside them there would be three kinds of enemies we would have to destroy, each worth an amount of points varying between one and three. There would be another enemy worth zero points, but that one I remembered, the test about everyone's reaction to great danger and to a powerful enemy they don't actually have to fight not that it would be dangerous to me.

We were all divided in various groups and shown to the starting line where everyone started to get ready, as expect there is no standard for physical appearance in this world myself included but some of them looked a bit too old certainly not fifteen years old but I guess I couldn't be the judge of that who knows what kind of circumstances they may have "OKAY START!" there was no warning so everyone just stood there "WHATS WRONG THERE ARE NO COUNTDOWNS ON REAL LIFE! RUN! RUN!" and that was the moment everyone started running.

I didn't notice this before it was too late but I was forced to wait until most had already gone ahead because if had attempted to run with them I could have stumbled upon someone and accidentally crushing people is something I will have to keep in mind for the rest of the exam, not that I haven't been doing this already…

The first thing I have to do is finding the robots and I can't do that efficiently if I am behind everyone else so I decided to climb up a building and search enemies from there, actually climbing it every time I got down would take an amount of time I wasn't willing to waste however I knew I was strong enough to just jump on top of them, something I had never done before. Unfortunately I over jumped and broke the ceiling of the first building with my fall on top of it but I wasn't hurt so I stood up and started searching I would just walk around on the top of the buildings

When I found an enemy I attempt to jump on top of it, I missed but it was easy corrected with a punch that flattened the robot and sent it flying to the building right behind it, I was lucky to find a few more robots. I would jump on top of the buildings again and it didn't take many attempts for me to get used to it and stop crushing the ceiling I still couldn't run on top of them but it was progress.

Jumping from building to building proved to be the most efficient manner of moving around but my overall plan to find the mock enemies couldn't be considered successful. By the 6 minutes left announcement I knew I had only 19 points. I was no longer slow about moving but I still had a hard time finding robots that weren't already being destroyed by anyone else and even when I found one it wasn't I guarantee that I could get there first to destroy it and the effort would be wasted. It was definitely a work in progress if only I was more precise with my movements I could go around at my maximum speed and probably destroy most of robots by myself unfortunately I didn't receive any training on how to be a ninja so that option had to be discarded for the sake of everyone else's safety.

Another good idea I had was to start throwing stones and other things I could find at the robots I could just take them from the buildings around and I did that to great effect, a few times, I didn't actually throw anything if saw anyone else in my line of sight it did manage to give a few extra points I wouldn't have had otherwise. When there was someone I still had the advantage of being faster while running in a straight line.

I thought I was doing alright by the time the ground started trembling, when the 0 point robot appeared I had around 35 points give and take a few and I had yet to show my ability to grow bigger so it was the perfect time to use it. while everyone else was running from it I was just growing bigger and bigger when I got to my maximum height I was towering over the robot so it was easy to hold it back, I didn't crush it because the destruction of the robot was more likely to hurt someone else than just holding it back. It was by that time that everyone else decided to stop running and stare wide eyed while I held it back "WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING, GET AWAY SO I CAN FINALLY DESTROY THE ROBOT AND GET BACK TO THE EXAM!" while the last few people were getting enough distance I just hugged the robot a little harder than necessary and crushed it that way.

Now I was calmer, surely my role in stopping the zero point robot while everyone else got away must have given me a lot of points, probably not as many as 60 because I am sure I made it look easy and it was but my guess is that I would receive half of that which would put me at above 60 points and that should be enough to pass, so took it easy and put robot down slowly so as to not cause unnecessary destruction.

"THE EXAM IS OVER! "That was how the exam ended for me".

By the time we were about to go back, Izuku accepted to go with me so I just picked him up and put him I my shoulder but… "Hmm… is everything all right?" he looks kind of dead inside.

"Yes" he said, but I wasn't convinced at all "how many points did you get?"

"Yes" he answered. "Hey Izuku! How long do you think it will take for us to get back?"…"Yes"

He is a lost cause "you don't need to be depressed I am sure you did alright, I heard about you, the boy who punched the robot and broke three of his limbs to save a person in need." I gave a slight pause to see if he was paying attention and saw he was looking at me "What kind of Hero School is U.A. High if they would refuse someone willing to go to that extent to save someone else. If they refuse you that just means they were not worthy of someone like you to begin with, there is always a second chance, and U.A. is not the only path you can follow to become a Hero"

"hmm, thank you, for everything" he said it in such a low volume I might not have heard him if he wasn't right by ear "it was nothing" we went the rest of the way without saying a single word to each other but I knew he would be fine. The Izuku I got to know for the last 7 years wouldn't let something like this stop him for long.

When I finally got home I just wanted to rest and wait for the time to pass but I still told what happened to the rest of my family. About how long it took me to get there on feet, about the teachers who approached me and did their best so I could feel at ease. About their bad attempts to joke about my size and lift my spirits, about the written exam that I did literally by having one of them write everything for me.

And then I told them about the practical exam, about the sudden start and about the care I had to put in moving through the mock city as fast as I did, the methods I used, about how hard it was to do everything without putting anyone else at risk and hurting the other examines, and finally about how I dealt with the big zero point robot. They were proud. Mother had a serene smile and dad was actually dancing. It was certainly a memorable day.

- A few days later -

The U.A. High sent us an acceptance letter carrying my score and explaining what to do with the extra box, the surprise. After having my mother open the box we found a medium sized object with a disk like form, "we put in the ground ad push this button…"

"I AM A MOUSE? A DOG? OR A BEAR? WHAT I REALLY AM IS… THE PRINCIPAL!" Loud! And CUTE! WANT TO HUG! What is he, some new kind of animal? How did he get so big?

"Well hope you liked the surprise, I thought you would be more comfortable with a hologram your size" a hologram so he isn't really this size (=_=) disappointing. But he is somewhat right. It is very considerate of him.

"Getting directly to the point, I am here to tell you about your qualifications. You had truly amazing results, during the practical exam us teachers were watching and judging everything, you called a lot of attention but not just by your size." At this moment he gave a small pause "we were impressed by your capacity of adapting to the circumstances, creativity and the care you put at not hurting anyone else even at the cost of your own points."

"You scored 33 villain points and that alone wouldn't be enough to qualify you but at U.A. High we also have another method of scoring the student not by their innate power but by their heroic spirit. For acting carefully in order to not hurt anyone else with your over excessive strength and for holding back the giant Zero points Robot helping those that need to run away you got… 43 rescue points for total of 76 points putting you in second place on the entrance exam. Congratulations you passed! We at U.A. will be looking forward to your presence in the classroom. We will have to get bigger doors just for you. Always go beyond Plus Ultra!"

Telling the good news to Izuku lifted his mood a bit but it seems like the only solution is to wait for his letter and the good news that has been accepted.

POV: Izuku: one day after getting the letter of acceptance

Finally I managed to give my first step towards my dream, according to all might the school didn't know of our connection but now I have to tell Sakura of good news so I walk towards her home to meet her.

She looked overjoyed but not really as surprised as I thought she would be, she did look relieved. Though, as it would get apparent soon, not for the same reason as me and I would soon find out why that is "IZUKUUU HELP ME MAKE THE DESIGN FOR MY HERO COSTUME, FATHER KEEPS TELLING ME I CANT MAKE IT IN THE FORM OF A WEDDING DRESS!" that was such an unexpected notion that I couldn't help but blush at the tough, she would look good in one but. "Sakura you can't choose a wedding dress to use as a hero costume"

"BUT I WANT ONE" I could see a tear in the corner of her eyes even in all those years I had never seen her cry, it does make her look cuter but those tears look like they could hurt someone if they fell on top of them.

"You should keep the idea of using a wedding dress for the time of your actual wedding instead why don't we chose something else for your costume, I promise I will help you to design it"

"HMM" thankfully she agreed now about the design of her hero costume. "why don't we start by using something you like as theme what do you think would be a good idea?"

"KAIJU" eh? kaiju? "If I can't be a wife them I want to be a Kaiju" for a moment there I thought I saw her eyes glaze over and turn empty. Was it just my imagination?

"By kaiju do you mean those big city destroying monsters we would see in TV shows" she nodded.

Not an idea I have seen before, as well as not something that can easily be pulled off but… if you consider her moss covered body, her strange eyes, her horns and overall huge size…"that would work! That is definitely something that would work. It is unique and creative as well as very fitting considering your quirk!"

We spent the next few hours talking about her costume and about what kind of tools we could give her that would compensate for her biggest weakness that is the huge precision requirement for the control of her own strength and the great damage to her surrounding she would cause if she went all out. It didn't prove to be an easy task and it wasn't made any easier by her obsession with pads for her hands foots instead of gloves and shoes but I guess this kind of concession should be a given, considering its going to be her costume.

So this was the end of this chapter.

Her costume will be in the next one but I concluded there is really not much I can do to make it better besides changing the design but I am no fashion designer. There is one good gimmick but it is also the only one I could think about.

You know what I think? If you can't do something or if you say you can't do something that shows a person's limit. If everything can be achieved through learning then getting an unsatisfactory result simply means that's how long you can go before giving up. Not that that you can't do it, just that it was how much effort you were willing to put in. People usually give up before reaching their actual limit. And I am making an example out of myself.

My next worry besides reviewing the POVs I wrote is around the agency internships right after the sports festival. It is really hard writing this part to my satisfaction considering I've been stuck in it for a while. Hopefully I manage before everything I've written caches up because i will not post anything I think looks hurried or half-assed just to continue on. Some chapters will look like they have been split in half though, because i plan to keep a consistent 4k-4.5k words per chapter.
