(10 months later: Front gates of UA)
Izuku felt an overwhelming sense of awe and wonder as he stared up at the giant building that was UA. The windows and gates shined brightly as the sun light bounced off of them, the grass was neat and cut as low as possible, and the golden "UA" intimidated Izuku as it stared down at him.
Other students around his age were walking all around him, some chatting with others while some preferred to walk by themselves in silence. He had to wonder what they were feeling. Fear? Awe? Nervousness? Shock? Was their adrenaline pumping slowly like his? Were they scared like he was? The last thing he wanted was to fail and let everyone down, especially All Might.
"Did you hear? Some maniac cleaned up Dagobah Beach in the last few months! It's spotless now!" He heard a girl talking to another girl say as they walked past him, causing him to blush.
He was the one to clean it up, as part of All Might's training. While Izuku's body before had muscle to it, All Might said it wasn't enough to handle his power, so the number one hero created a training regime and a list of foods to eat to build up mass and strength. While he liked to train and was used to it, All Might's was beyond brutal. His body was always sore and he was always tired, often falling asleep in class and needing Bakugo's explosion to wake up him.
The sleeping in class and extra eating raised several questions from Bakugo and Izuku's mother, but he always lied and said he found a training regime online to help 'beef him up'. Bakugo laughed and said that sounded stupid while Inko was proud that her son was trying to be better. She actually got inspired and joined in on some of Izuku's training, mainly the runs he did early in the morning and copying some of his eating habits. She even joined in on his weight lifting.
A sudden slap to the back of the head made Izuku yelp, which made him turn and glare at whoever did it while holding said spot.
"Stop day dreaming nerd, it's time to blow these extras away." Bakugo ordered while walking past his friend.
"It's not nice hitting people Kacchan! And it's not nice calling people extras!" Izuku scolded as he rushed to keep up with the blond.
"Blah, blah, blah, whatever. These extras are wasting their time, half of them shouldn't even be here." Bakugo replied back.
"You know, you're technically an extra from their point of view."
"The fuck did you say?! I'm the main character in everyone's life!" Bakugo shouted, his palm sparkling in rage. Izuku only snickered in response.
"Whatever you say…extra."
With a growl Bakugo stuck his foot out and ended up tripping Izuku. Before the greenette could retaliate, the blond started walking faster.
'That motherfucker.' Izuku thought as he felt himself falling towards the pavement. His closed and eyes and waited for the impact, but it never came. Slowly opening his eyes, he was surprised to see the pavement was mere inches away from his face.
"Are you okay?" A feminine voice asked from behind him. Turning his head, he saw a petite girl with bob cut style brown hair that was shoulder length and big brown eyes. Her skin was pale and she had a little pink mark on both of her cheeks. He found himself turning pink from the pretty smile she was giving him.
'Cute.' Was the first word to come to his mind as she grabbed him and made him stand on his feet.
"I stopped you with my quirk, I'm sorry I didn't ask first! But I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you." She informed, never losing her smile.
"Uh, t-thank you. I appreciate that." He gave her a smile in return. 'Her quirk must let her control gravity, or maybe it's a more powerful version of moms?'
"Isn't this like, way nerve wracking?" She asked, breaking Izuku out of his thoughts.
"Beyond nerve wracking if you ask me. I literally feel like I'm about to have a stroke." He laughed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"That guy who tripped you, was that on purpose? If so you should really demand an apology next time you see him."
'An apology? From Kacchan? As if.' He fought back a snort at the idea.
"Don't worry about him, he's my friend. I'll just back at him later on." He informed. "I appreciate the concern though."
"Anytime! Wanna walk in together?" She asked, causing him to grin.
"Sure!"
(Inside UA)
"Who the fuck was that chick you walked in with? Your new bitch or something?" Bakugo asked after a few minutes of listening to Present Mic talk about what to expect. Izuku blushed pink at the comment.
"A: don't call her a bitch, B: she saved me from falling, C: I'm gonna get back at you later, D: shut the fuck up I'm trying to listen." Izuku hissed the last part, trying to memorize which robot gave what amount of points.
Present Mic had a screen that was showing what each robot looked like and how much they were point wise. It appeared the bigger the robot, the more points they got. Izuku was already forming a plan on what to do if he could encounter any of them. He was mainly hoping to run into the three pointer since it had rockets and the two pointer since it had a scorpion tail. He could get them to attack him then direct their attacks to another robot, or perhaps even have that attacking robot destroy itself.
"Excuse me sir, but I have a question!" A boy a few rows in front of them shot up from his seat, hand raised high.
"Hit me!" Present Mic shouted back.
"On the printout, you listed four types of villains, not three! With all respect, if this is an error on official UA materials, it is shameful!" He scolded.
"Who the fuck does this guy think he is?" Bakugo questioned the greenette, who shrugged in response.
"We are exemplary students; we expect the best from japans most notable school. A mistake such as this won't do." He stated, before doing a 180 and pointing at Izuku and Bakugo. "Additionally you two with the unkept hair, you two have been talking this entire time. Stop that! If neither of you can bother to take this seriously than leave. You're distracting the rest of us." He ordered.
"Who the fuck-" Bakugo began to shout, rising from his seat. Before he could climb over the rows and beat the guys ass, Izuku grabbed onto his hair and forced hit face into the table in front of them, making him bow. Izuku followed by bowing himself, still keeping Bakugo down as he struggled.
"What my friend meant to say is that we apologize. He was talking about how cute you were and I was trying to talk him into asking you out. He's very shy around new people." Izuku tried not to snicker as Bakugo struggled even harder, laughter began filling the room as the proclamation. Still bowing he wish he could see the guys face right now.
"Alright, alright examinee 7111, thanks for calling in with your request." Present Mic smiled, trying not to laugh. "The fourth villain type if worth zero points. That guy's just an obstacle we'll be throwing in your way. There's one in every battle center, and is a hurdle you should try and avoid. It's not that it can't be beat, but there's really no point. I recommend my listeners to just focus on that are on top of the chart!"
"Thank you very much, please continue!" The man shouted, before turning to Izuku again. "While I'm flattered, please tell your friend I have no interest in him as I am straight."
"Will do." Izuku smiled while giving a thumbs up.
"I'm gonna fucking kill you!" Bakugo screamed, which was muffled by the table.
"He says he understands!"
"That's all I've got for you today my listeners. Return the schools motto and go Plus Ultra!" Present Mic cheered. (Note: fuck writing his whole speech I have zero patience to do so)
(Outside: In front of Battle Zone B gates)
'10 months of training with All Might has led me to this. Just gotta give it my all and do my best.' Izuku thought, staring at the giant gates that separated them and the battle zone. Looking around he could see the blue haired guy who yelled at them before was here as well, and so was the cute girl who had saved him earlier. Kacchan was at zone A, which meant the two couldn't compete like he was hoping. On the bright side Kacchan wouldn't steal his points, so that was a plus.
'Maybe I should go say hi, or wish her good luck?' He thought, watching her. She had her eyes closed while attempting to control her breathing. She was probably just nervous as he was. 'No, I think I'll leave her alone. Need to focus on myself for the time being.'
"Right, let's start! Get moving! There are no countdowns in real battles! C'mon, you're wasting precious time!" The loud-mouthed hero shouted from atop his tower.
As others stared up at him, Izuku was quick to push himself through some other kids and enter through the gates. Others must've caught on because he could hear what sounded like a stampede behind him. Out of the corner of his eyes, he watched as the blue haired boy sped up and ended up passing him, leaving a trail of dust in his wake.
'Speed quirk? Maybe he's gonna do what I plan on doing? Or are his kicks that powerful that they can go through solid steel?'
Too wrapped up in his thoughts, Izuku didn't notice as three missiles flew past and missed his face by mere inches. With a gasp he stopped in his place and turned, noticing the three pointer that was at the end of the street. Pointing its rockets launchers at Izuku, three more missiles were fired at him.
Raising his hands green energy glowed at his fingertips, and soon two of the missiles were as well. With a flick they were turned around and started flying towards the robot. They impacted it, resulting in an explosion and three points for Izuku.
That still left the third missile, however. Before he could take control over it a laser shot from behind him and destroyed it. With wide eyes he turned, and noticed that a blond boy was behind him. The boy winked, before running off to get some of his own points.
'Laser quirk of some kind. He'll definitely get a ton of points.' Izuku thought, before following the boys' example and running off to find more villains.
(A few minutes later)
Izuku's breathing was rigid and slow as he continued running, his clothing and skin were dirty, covered in scratches and even some blood from his unfortunate encounters with the scorpion like robots. He was doing good in the points department after racking up 54 in total, but he wasn't going to settle for that amount. He wanted more and to get to at least 70 before the test ended.
He would've been at that goal already, but many other students had either stolen his points or destroyed the robot before he could get metal to use to fight it. On the bright side he was able to study and analyze many other quirks, such as a cute pink girl using acid to melt the robots. This was an interesting group of students in his opinion.
He was a little confused since he has yet to see that cute brunette girl again. He's been through almost the entire fake city and hadn't even seen a floating robot. Was she ok, he wondered?
The ground beneath him started to shake, and soon dust clouds started popping out of the ground down the street where a group of students were. The clouds were rising high to the point where they were way above the building's rooftops.
He watched, mesmerized as a giant form walked through the cloud. A giant black and green hand lunged forward and gripped onto the top of a building, before a giant green head with eight red lights poked through.
'This is the zero pointer?!' He thought in shock, watching as one of its giant fists came crashing down onto the street, kicking up dust and debris. Other students began running past as he stood in place, watching the robot as it moved. He turned and was about to follow suit, but a scream stopped him.
A loud "Ow" made him freeze and turn back around. His eyes widened as his stomach dropped, a feeling of fear washed over him as he watched the brunette from earlier struggle under some rubble. It looked like both of her legs were trapped.
Blood and adrenaline pumped through him and he started running towards the machine, not away from it. He didn't care about the looks he received, the only thing on his mind was to protect and save. A new green energy surged around his body as he ran.
Suddenly he crouched, and rocketed into the sky with a single jump, tearing through the smoke. The girl gasped and watched him, as did others were stopped running to see.
The energy surrounded his right arm, his clothing began getting disintegrated from it. The words that All Might spoke to him ringed through his head. How nothing was more noble than self-sacrifice, how should the time ever come he should clench his butt cheeks and scream one word from the depths of his heart.
"SMASH!"
Reeling his arm back, Izuku shot his fist forward and bunched the giant robots square in its steel face. The punch created a crater in its head, the force making it actually stumble back from the power. Explosions began going off throughout its body, in its neck and chest, in both of its legs and arm. One final giant explosion rocked the robot to its core, completely destroying it and sending its pieces and parts scattering across the sky.
'Broken. Everything's broken.' Were Izuku's only thoughts as he began plummeting back towards the ground. His legs and right arm were completely shattered and were a hideous shade of purple and black, only his left arm remained intact.
He watched the ground come closer and closer towards him, a million thoughts, plans, and ideas going through his head. He could only bring metal to him, but he had yet to make his body go towards metal. This meant he couldn't make himself go towards and grab onto any pieces of metal that stuck out of the buildings, such as the flagpoles. And no metal could soften his fall or slow his descend. He only had one viable option; use his other arm and One For All to break his fall. His left arm would be broken, but that fate was better than death.
With a deep inhale and exhale, he reared his left arm back, All For One energy surging through as the ground got closer and closer. 10 feet, then nine, then eight. He was getting ready to hit the ground, when a hand suddenly reached out and slapped his cheek.
The fall didn't continue. Energy dying down, Izuku turned his head, and watched as the girl he had just saved was floating on a piece of metal. She looked like she was struggling.
"Release." Placing her hands together, Izuku fell the remaining two and feet onto the ground, and the girl and het floating metal did as well. Putting her hands over her mouth, she began to vomit something colorful. Was that glitter?
His eyes began to flutter shut, the pain finally getting to him and causing him to pass out.
'Should…ask…bout that.' Was his final thought before going unconscious, the final thing he could hear were the mutters of those around him, and the sound of a cane hitting the asphalt.
(I'm HELLA tempted to make Kirishima a chick. What do you all think?)
