Chapter 6

10 months' time skip, U.A. High School Entrance Exam Location 8:40 a.m.

As the students of each school walking through the hallways of the most prestigious school, a black hair high school boy was running to the school, he stop to take a breather at the garden entrance "I made it…" before he walk in, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He turns to his left to find a familiar red hair wearing a white with black lining suit jacket with blue jeans and belt buckle on his waist. He raises his hand and smile at him "Yo."

"Eh, Shirou? What are you doing here?" Midoriya asked.

"What do you mean, isn't this an entrance examination for public...?" Shirou asked as he look confused.

"Yeah that's right, but you said you weren't going to U.A…."

"Huh? Since when I said that?" Midoriya froze at the realization he encounters, he kept bowing and saying sorry while Shirou had to stop him from embarrassing himself out in the open "Alright…Alright, I get it, so can you please stop doing that?"

Midoriya heave and Shirou remembering what Midoriya personality was gave a smile with a hint of satisfaction, he put his hand on his shoulder to comfort Midoriya "There, there…you don't need to beat yourself over it."

Midoriya smile back and asked "Wanna go in together?"

Shirou scratch his cheek and looked away from Midoriya "Sorry, can you go ahead first? I'm waiting for my other friends to arrive; they'll be taking the exam with me."

"Okay…then I'll be waiting for you at the exam site." With that Midoriya wave goodbye to Shirou.

While waiting, Shirou stare at Midoriya as he kept walking through the entrance.

Midoriya kept recalling when he receives All Might power just from eating a piece of hair, he wanted to vomit on site but kept his mouth close with his hand "I swallowed the hair, but did I really receive his power…?" he said to himself

A loud rough voice startled Midoriya as he turned around "Outta my way, Deku!" he turn around and saw a white spiky boy that was wearing the same school shirt as Midoriya but had a scarf wrap around him as he was walking through.

"Kacchan!" he called out.

Shirou look at the boy who with Midoriya and thought "Isn't he…"

He was interrupted when voice call out to him from behind "Oi, Shirou!"

He turns around and saw Rin, Gray, Morgan and Sieg running to him with El-Meilloi right behind them "Oh, you guys made it."

They all wore in their usual attire but except for Morgan.

She was wearing what Shirou Saber wore in the grail war, a white tee and blue blouse. Shirou waved at them but became confused at the scenario that lay out before him, Rin and Morgan were glaring at each other while Gray and Sieg ignoring their squabbling and walked quietly to him and El-Meilloi ll was smoking a cigarette.

"What's up with those two?" he asked the rest.

Sieg shrug his shoulder trying to explain the situation "All I know is that those two have been at it since you jumped ahead of us."

Rin glared at Shirou "Yeah, no thanks to you! I can't believe you made Morgan carry me all the way here!" Rin scrowl her darken face at Morgan which she ignores.

Shirou sigh "Well, what choice do I have…if we hadn't gone with El-Meilloi ll plan, we would miss the exam."

"I know that…" as much she hated being princess carried by Morgan, the Lord method of extreme did get them in time for the assessment.

After calming down, Rin closed one of her eyes and looked at Shirou "So where did you learn to leap over the city anyways?"

Shirou fold his arm and look up "To be honest, I don't know…"


30 minutes ago, …

A door busted out as Shirou and Rin jolted up to see El-Meilloi at their doorstep "Oi you guys, get up already, we are gonna be late!" with that, he went on to do the same to the other room, Shirou and Rin quickly dress up and ran out of their room.

Once out of the hotel, El-Meilloi used one of the tools provided by Barthomeloi and is able traced out the fastest path they needed to take.

"So, how are we going to reach U.A high school in time for start of the examination!?" Rin asked

El-Meilloi ll took out a tome from his clothing chant a spell then an image with the plan he wrote on the traced map popped up in their heads.

"Is there any objection?" he asked.

"Please wait Lord El-Meilloi ll…" El-Meilloi look at Rin and sigh "What is it, Tohsaka Rin?"

"I know that we have no choice in this…" She closed her eyes as all the feeling inside her had burst out "But why do the servants have to carry me?"

"Even more her!?" She frowns her face at Morgan.

"Wow, I'm hurt, I thought we were all comrades, but clearly you disregarded me as one." Morgan gave a sniffle as a fake tear appeared on her eyelid.

Everyone looks at her with cold eyes as she took a step back "Eh, why does it feel like everyone ganged up on me?" She thought.

"Rin!" Shirou called out to her with a stern look.

"F-fine…" She looked away while holding her arms.

Shirou smiled while walking to her and gave a head pat "Alright, that's a good girl!"

El-Meilloi ll was getting impatient as he tapped his finger and at the same time, stomped his foot on the ground "Can we get going, we have no time to lose!" he shouted

Having no choice but to submit to her fate, she let Morgan carried as Sieg carried Gray on their arm. Flooding their magic circuit with mana, they etched their feet into ground and leap off to the top of the building in a single bounce, leaving a small gust of wind.

In order to get to the school in time, Shirou went to push himself to the limit until he felt a burning sensation on his hand. To prevent the others from seeing his current predicament, he calls out them "I'm going on ahead, I will see you guys at the school entrance!" with an added boost from his circuit, he

"Hey wait!" El-Meilloi wanted to stop him, but he was way to far ahead of them.

He saw his circuit color had turned from cyan blue to neo red. The circuit was growing as it connected with Alaya circuits until a seal swirl around his hand.

"What's going on…?" He thought to himself while clamping on his hand "Why is Alaya power acting up all of the sudden!?"

Unbeknownst to him, a shadow has been observing him from afar.

The shadow communicate telepathy with him "I have found him. what's our next move?"

The master of Shadow contemplates different kind of scenario until he settles on his final "Keep observing him from afar and don't let him out of your sight!" he ordered the Shadow.

"As you wish, my master…" With that, the shadow leaps out into the open with glitter of light forming around him as he transforms into his astral form.

*Thud*

A gust of wind surfaces out from the ground as Shirou did a superhero landing, pushing everyone away within its radius. Some stumbled to the ground while others managed to withstand the blast with their two feet etched into the ground.

Shirou stood up and quickly check his arms to see that seal was gone. He felt relieve and look around him, everyone was completely shock from the ruckus he causes.

"What was that?"

"A guy came from the sky!"

"That was dangerous!"

Realizing the difficult situation, he causes, he bowed immediately and apologize to everyone. "Ah, I'm sorry!"


In the present time…

"Shall we go?" Shirou asked as the group nod their heads. Shirou turned around and saw Midoriya shaking his head, he looks past him and saw the white hair boy had went ahead of him.

The two people from different school was talking about him from the incident "Hey, isn't that Bakugo? The one with the sludge villain?"

"Oh, he's the real thing!"

After seeing his classmate again, Midoriya could feel his leg shaking from the fear the white hair boy imposes but ignore it as he was confident "I'm different from before!"

"Remember these past ten months!" he thought to himself.

Shirou almost caught up with Midoriya but everyone looks surprised at the events that transpired before them "Eh?"

"This is it!" Midoriya looks courageous from his own point view but have no idea that while he took the first step, he managed to trip from his own two feet.

As he was falling, a girl came and touch him from the back, allowing him to float. He widened his eyes and look below when he snaps out of his own thought.

"All you are right?" Asked the girl.

"Wahhhh, Ehhhhh!" he panicked by running his legs and the gang stare in amazement at what she can do "Wow…not bad." They silently clap.

He then turns and looked at brown hair girl wearing her jacket with scarf trying to put him in an upright position "It's my Quirk. Sorry for using it without asking first." She places her finger together and undid her levitation "But it'd be bad luck if you fell, right?'

Midoriya just stood there speechless while she kept talking "Aren't you nervous?" she smiled brightly at him.

He panicked on site "Eh…Uh…eeerrrr…Ummm"

"Let's do our best. See ya!" She raised her hands to waved him goodbye and walk away, towards the school.

He was still in a state of shock from the girl that just saved him and Shirou gave a tap on Midoriya to snap him out.

Midoriya turned and looked at Shirou and Sieg with a dazzling smile which puzzled them "Hey Shirou, Sieg, I just talked to a girl!"

"How awesome is that?"

"Well …" Shirou scratch his head and help him out.

"Hmm…, yes that's is quite awesome." Sieg gave a smile which Midoriya took it without failed

"Although, she spoke to you while you fumble your words completely…" he kept his thoughts to himself to keep him happy.

While Midoriya was happy with himself, the gang was standing beside him clueless about the current situation "What's up with him?" Gray asked the others.

"Who knows…I all know is that you guys should get going for the exam right now." Said El-Meilloi ll.

"Yeah, we should…." Gray looked at Shirou, waiting for his approval.

Shirou nod his head and shook Midoriya out of fantasy "Oi, Midoriya!"

"Huh oh Shirou…" Midoriya shook his head as Shirou just sigh "We are going now."

"Oh, Right!" He called while following Shirou and the other to the venue of the exam.


U.A. High School Hero course Exam Orientation location…

After saying goodbye to El-Meilloi ll, Shirou and the others came into the room.

Room was filled with student of different school, each wanting to get into the dream school, Shirou knows that they'll to be careful. Most of the seat was already occupied by them except for a row in the middle. They went on and sat at the vacant seats waiting for the program to start.

They sat in a row, with Sieg and Shirou sitting beside Midoriya, Rin beside Shirou, Gray in the middle of Morgan and Rin.

Midoriya turns his head and saw his classmate sitting at the left of his side "Eh, Kacchan!?" he called out.

"Tch." He turned his head away and Shirou just look at them without saying a word.

The lights went on as the Orientation had begun, a loud sound could be heard from the middle of the room as everyone look at the guy with yellow a 80's singer hair that dresses like a punk with a mic as an accessory greet them "For all you examinee listeners tuning in, welcome to my show today!"

"Everybody says "hey"!" he waited for an answer, but the room was quiet.

He shrugs his shoulder and shake his head due to silences he receives "What a refined response."

He then switches the topic "Then I'll quickly present to you the rundown on the practical exam!"

"Are you ready!?" He shouted out to raise the student spirit but was turn down by silence again.

Midoriya was in heaven as he just saw another of his celebrity, being a fan boy, he couldn't contain his excitement and squeal out softly, pointing at the presenter while shaking Shirou out of his misery "It's the Voice Hero, Present Mic! Wow…!"

He then went on to explained further "I listen to him every week on the radio. I'm so moved!"

"All the teachers at U.A. are pro heroes!"

Rin, Morgan, Sieg and Gray can hear him talking to himself. Couldn't cope with his mumbling and shaking, both Shirou and Bokugo stop him by saying "Shut up."

Midoriya couldn't believe what he had just heard, he knows that his classmate would say this kind of this thing, but he thought Shirou would be the forgiving type.

Midoriya stared at him with a blank face, Shirou looking at him sigh "All right, I get that he's a big shot, but can you please calm down…!?"

"Oh, Sorry Shirou… I guess I had gone overboard…"

"It's okay… I know how you feel though, it's like when I fulfill my dream… I feel a sense of excitement rising up from me." Shirou reminisce his past while he looks at Present Mic.

"Hehhh…" Shirou look at Rin as she went on to speak "You never told me anything about that."

"Oh sorry, I thought you knew…" He laughed.

Present Mic voice stop them from communicating both listen to the important announcement "As it says in the Application requirements, you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock urban battles after this!" The screen went on to the next slide, showing a board with the sign "You are here." Then it spread out to other seven sign board, each indicating an alphabet letter "You can bring whatever you want with you."

"After the presentation, you'll head to the specified battle center, okay?"

"Okay!?" but was only silence in the air.

Shirou, Rin, Morgan, Sieg, Gray, Bakugo and Midoriya picks up their application card. Looking at the information at hand, it seems that Morgan, Shirou and Sieg will be together at battle center B while Rin and Gray will be at Battle center C.

"I see, so that's how it is…" Sieg said as Morgan turn and look at him "They want to test our strength to see we are fit enough to enter the hero course."

"Then, if they want to test us servants a trail of combat by using this toy, then we will make them regretted their decision!" Morgan demanded fiercely with her blazing eyes as Sieg agrees with her.

"Yes, it would be better for them to see the fate of all those who cross our paths."

Shirou, Rin and Gray angle their body's away as they could feel destructive aura coming from them.

Rin not satisfied with this gave out an unhappy sigh "What is this arrangement…I can't be with Shirou while that witch can?"

"Call me a witch one more time and I'll kill you." Morgan said in a monotone voice.

"Is that a threat!?" Rin shouted

Both glared at each other with Gray in the middle trying to calm them down "Well…Well, don't need to be so mad at each other, we can work this out, right?"

Rin and Morgan spun their head at different direction while Gray just laughed awkwardly.

Bakugo turned and face Midoriya "In other words, they won't let you work your friends, huh?"

Midoriya got startled by Bakugo as he jolted up, he scans through the information at hand, he notices Bakugo was going to battle center A and he was going to battle center B "Y-You're right. Even though our examinee numbers are consecutive, we're assigned to different battle centers."

"Don't look. I'll kill you."

Midoriya look at him in fear and his lip was twitching as Bakugo was not happy with what he got "Tch, Now I can't crush you."

The next slide pop out, showing a city building with Present Mic explaining the information again "Three different types of faux villains are stationed in each battle center."

"You earn points for each of them based on their level of difficulty." Present Mic kept explaining while the next slide had turned into a video "Your goal, dear listeners, is to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing the faux villains."

He the pointed his fingers to the viewer in the room "Of course, attacking other examinees and any other unheroic actions are prohibited!"

he waved his finger as a no-no before a loud voice interrupted him "May I ask a question?"

"Okay!"

Shirou and the others look down to a man as he stood up, the room light shone upon him and he pointed to the list of faux villains "On the printout, there are four types of villains."

"If that is a misprint, then U.A., the most prominent school in Japan, should be ashamed of that foolish mistake." He went on to say, "We examinees are here in this place because we wish to be molded into exemplary heroes."

Hearing this, something snapped inside of Morgan as she had an urge to put the man in his place "Heh, that is just an act of your selfishness…!" she talked loudly that everyone can hear.

Shirou and Gray was shocked while Sieg just stare her with a blank face "Wait Morgan, what are you doing?" Shirou whisper to her.

"Are you crazy?" Rin quietly shouted at her "You're gonna blow our cover here!"

"Don't' worry, I did make sure to not add anything unnecessary…" Shirou wanted to stop Morgan from causing any more damage but was put off by the spectacle boy

"What did you say?"

"You heard me, you said we wish to be molded into exemplary heroes, but in reality, only you care about your own self!" Morgan gave a smirk which piss the man off, he points his finger at her "You, the blonde hair braided girl…I don't know which school you came from, but disrespect me again and I make sure you regret it!"

"Oh, how scary…!" Morgan gave an evil smile, but the boy ignores it.

Shirou and the others sigh in relieve and narrowed their eyes at her "Morgan, please next time, don't do that again."

The man moved his finger over to Midoriya "In addition, you over there with the curly hair…"

MIdoriya to point to himself as the others look at him "You've been muttering this whole time. It's distracting!"

"If you're here on a pleasure trip, then you should leave immediately!" Midoriya got shock from him and closed his mouth "I'm sorry…" the other student laughed at his expense.

Present Mic interrupted them "Okay, Okay, Examinee Number 7111." He gave a thumbs up "Thanks for the great message."

The projector changes to the next slide and showed a pixelized image "The fourth type of villain is worth zero points."

"That guy's an obstacle, so to speak."

"There's one in every battle center…an obstacle that will go crazy in narrow spaces."

"It's not impossible to defeat it, but there's no reason to defeat it, either."

He raised his hand up "I recommend that you listeners try to avoid it."

The boy bowed down" Thank you very much!"

"Please excuse the interruption!" he sat down without interruption and the light turn off on him. The others student was discussing with each other "I see…it's like the obstacles you avoid in videos games, huh?"

"The whole thing is like a video game."

"That's all from me! Finally, I'll give you listeners a present- our school motto!"

"The hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said: A true hero is someone who overcomes life's misfortunes."

"Go beyond. Plus, Ultra!" Present Mic shouting with a bang as he raises his hands up and the slides show change to Plus, Ultra.

Hearing those words, Rin gave a remark "Wow, I'm surprise…to think they include Napoleon famous words as a motto…"

"That goes to show you that a hero can inspire people to the best they can." Shirou smiled pointing to Morgan, Sieg and Gray "Though, we have a few past and present heroes of our own."

"You're right."

Midoriya griped his paper tightly as he looks excited, to get into U.A. is his dream, his determined to do whatever it takes to pass.

"Now, Everyone, good luck suffering!" with that, the session has ended, and everyone got onto the bus to their respective battle center.


'U.A. High School' 'Hero course Entrance' 'Exam Battle center B…'

Once the bus arrived at the battle center, Shirou, Sieg, Morgan and Midoriya got off the bus and saw the gate was huge with city size buildings that's even huger and extend all the way.

As Midoriya was shaking from head to toe, Shirou put his hand on Midoriya shoulder "Are you nervous?"

"Err…not really…"

Shirou just smiled at him "It's okay Midoriya, take everything you learn from All Might and you'll okay."

Hearing the words of encourage, Midoriya clap his cheeks to straighten himself "Yes, just as Shirou said, time to give everything I got from my training with All Might these past ten months."

"I will become… the hero I always dreamed of being!"

As everyone look at the gate tensed, Shirou look at the gate with enthusiasm as he knows the journey to be a hero has only just started.

Then he thought of future self words "Can you keep up with me!?" he gave a smile with determination emerging from inside him "Yeah! Watch me!"
