Author's Note; I'm going to do the timeline using my basic understanding of a Japanese school year. So semester one is the beginning of April to July 20th, where summer break begins. Second Semester(where they get their hero licensing exam) starts in early September and goes until December 25th. The third semester begins in early January to late March. Akira's birthday, she's still 14 when she starts (homeschooled remember), is October 28th.

Frankly, I was tempted to expel everyone that placed after that Akira girl. She had to leave an event and had a clear handicap against her classmates, and still finished with a better score than six of them. Sighing, I stare up at the sky. It's about time for a nap, but I suppose I'll let them all pass. Just this once.

Akira Grace POV

Aizawa stood in front of us ready to give us our scores.

"I'll just pull them all up at once, it's too much of hassle to go over them individually." The results pop up, and I find my name after a couple moments as I scan the screen. 15th place? That's crazy... Then again, the only two of those six with any seriously impressive scores are Mineta and Izuku... who finished in the bottom two spots.

"And... As for who's going home... I considered sending you last 6 home all at once, but I'm feeling generous so... Everyone stays. At first, it was meant to be a logical deception that you should have seen through as future heroes, but I changed my mind and changed it back right at the end." Yaoyorozu speaks up when most of the class is confused.

"I figured you all would have known that maybe I should have said something." Huh, probably, I figured it was too, but if you can't sort things out yourself you won't get very far here. What he said though, about considering sending the last six home... That'd be the six kids after me, why? Perhaps I should ask him about it.

"For now, you're all dismissed to your next class."

It turns out, our next class was English with Present Mic. He started out by having us go around the room, introduce ourselves using our full names, state our favorite hobby, favorite book, favorite food, and one pro hero we admire. A pretty standard thing I've heard they do in real schools. I make careful notes about everyone in my book. Finally, it's my turn, and I stand up as everyone else had.

"My-my name is Akira Grace Eubank. I enjoy drawing, um... the book Falling Apart, and pepperoni pizza. The hero I admire... admired most was The Angelic Hero; Daydream." Present Mic gives me a big thumbs up.

"EXCELLENT CHOICE! Daydream was one of my favorite students, I'm glad to see one of you admires her and her values!" I nod, in reality, I admire her for one reason only. She was a rescue hero with the most rescues of any rookie in history, who died to save the lives of others without hesitation. That, and she was the first pro I ever really met. Before she became a pro she worked at the hotel with her mom, and even though I doubted if I could actually be a hero back then... She believed in me no matter what. Her quirk, Bed Time, allowed her to put people to sleep in an instant just by looking at them, and her angelic beauty is what earned her her name. Her mom's quirk is 'Sleepless', meaning she never sleeps and doesn't need sleep and her ex-husband's quirk was 'White Noise' he made people hear whatever noises and frequencies he wanted, and in some cases, it can cause visual stimuli to occur as well. Her sister, who's one year younger than me, has a quirk called 'Dream State', which allows her to force people and even sentient objects like robots to stop what they're doing and not move by emitting various frequencies the confuse them and create dreams to reflect what she wants them to feel is happening.

The introductions continue, and when we're done he gives us our first assignment. I'll have to start it at lunch and work for a couple of hours tonight if I want to get it done well.

Over Lunch

At lunch, I sat at a table by myself with the textbook and began trying to complete the assignment. The noise around me continued to get louder, and suddenly someone sat down next to me. Laughing loudly and yelling for someone to hurry up.

"Hey, Akira! Wow, already doing homework? You must take schoolwork seriously! I bet you're gonna end up top of the class in academics, no one else will probably start until after school today! Hey, hey, Jiro, Kaminari, Mina, have you met Akira yet?" The punk rock girl nods at me and continues listening to her music, while the boy and girl try to animatedly tell her a story, and I look around for a moment before I start talking to Kirishima.

"Yeah, uh, I like to get a head start. Do you, um... Do you get this question?" Kirishima looks at the question I'm pointing to and then moves to my side of the table. He explains the question to me and I fill out the answer as I figure it out from the explanation of the question. I get his help on a few more things and move onto another assignment as he eats, and I smile as I realize this means that I won't have to struggle to get it done tonight and I'll be able to get my other classes done as well instead of possibly only completing one or two assignments. Kirishima seems to have a sudden epiphany.

"Hey, did you eat already? We got here not long after you and you didn't have any food when we came in, you must be hungry after the day we've had!" I shrug and ask for help on what a word problem is asking, and he explains it to me. Then he asks more questions.

"Hey, how come you only need me to explain the question to you and not help you figure out the answers?" Stiffening I look down at my paper quietly, Jiro senses my discomfort and in true girls sticking with girls fashion she butts in.

"Because she said so that's why stop asking so many questions. Gods, boys are so dense. Right, Akira?" I laugh a little and shrug at her, continuing my work with Kirishima's help. He doesn't ask me any more uncomfortable questions, but about halfway through lunch, another person slams their tray down at our table. We all look up and see Bakugo there, brooding and practically smoking. He's chosen the seat on my opposite side, and I scoot away a little. I really don't want to see how fireproof my clothes are. Kirishima greats him, but Bakugo just glares, so we go back to my school work. At some point, Kirishima pulled his work out to work along with me. A few more minutes pass and a plate with a slice of pizza and soda are slid in front of me.

"Eat that, you look like about to fucking starve to death. You got a fucking eating problem or some shit?" We all look at Bakugo in confusion, I have no idea what to say. It's not that I have any sort of problem, but the light bill went up and dads breathing meds got more expensive, and moms pay got cut and dad got switched to salary instead our hourly, so I don't have the little bit of money left over after I put some in savings like I usually do. Jiro, however, jumps in to save me again.

"What the hell man? You don't just go around asking people if they've got eating problems- it's rude and-" I cut her off and offer Bakugo a smile.

"Uh, no I don't. I just... um, I forgot my wallet at home rushing to catch the train this morning." He grunts and gestures at the plate.

"Don't fucking do it again, you fucking pass out and I'll set an explosion off by your head." I nod and set the small amount of work I have left to the side.

"Yes sir, you got it."

Akira POV Class with All Might

Oh. My. Gods. This man is going to be the death of me, he has as much energy as my siblings do, but in an adult package. When I actually get to see her mom has that much energy, so does Holly from work... and the boss lady... and Grandma and Grandpa Eubank both have that much too... Okay, so maybe most people I know very well seem to have that much energy and that high of a volume personality. Is it because I'm so quiet? Kirishima is trying to be my friend and he's loud too...

The class is told to change into their hero costumes, and I sigh, probably much more dramatically than necessary. As everyone files out to change, I stop and ask if gym clothes are okay until my hero gear is ready. All Might gives the all clear, and I swing past the hero support room on my way, fastening my ink well belt as I go. Mei Hatsume swings the door open as I approach.

"Akira! My babies are coming along nicely just for you! Did you need something?" I nod and she lets me into the room.

"You know how there's supposed to be an inkwell belt like the one I'm wearing that I made, just sturdier? I was wondering if it'd be possible to make them pressurized to hold more ink, you know like an ink cartridge for a printer is?" Mei nods and claps her hands.

"I ALREADY THOUGHT OF THAT! MY BABIES ALWAYS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND, I'M EVEN SYNTHESIZING A FEW SPECIAL TYPES OF INK FOR YOU!" Wincing I smile at Mei, the girl really is brilliant and dedicated... and loud. Apparently, everyone I meet is going to be this way now.

"Great! I'll see you in a few days when it's done then. Thank you very much again." Mei waves me out, muttering about things again...

We were doing battle training, great, and since there's an odd number of us... Someone has to compete without a partner. All Might goes around and has us draw straws for who has to compete without a partner against a group that will be formed at the end... and I get the short straw. He immediately tries to retract and say that we'll do a group of three instead, but before I can protest, Kirishima jumps to my defense.

"Hey, don't go underestimating her! She finished first in the entrance exam practical, and she beat several of these other guys out today in our quirk assessment test! If anybody can handle going solo, it's Akira!" A few others nod, it's kind of... Disconcerting that they're already convinced of my capabilities. All Might concedes, reluctantly, and we move on to begin the training. Bakugo and Iida are the villains... and Midoriya and Uraraka are the heroes. This should be interesting.

As I'd thought, all of the other battles had been intriguing. My turn was finally up, and All Migdramaticallyall sifted through the names in his hat for who the villains would be. I have a pretty bad feeling about this, but a hero has to be willing to try anyway.

"AND OUR VILLAINS ARE... Bakugo and Todoroki." Bad feeling confirmed, this is going to be a massacre. My only hope is that neither of them is good at teamwork.
