A/N: Hey readers and reviewers alike! I have some heart wrenching news. The literal day after my stories were updated, my grandfather, who was in a hospice due to dementia and COVID-19, passed away. I am doing okay now, but for about a week, I was a depressed sleepy boi in the shape of an egg. I am back in business though. Now it is time for some updated chapters. I do apologize that it took so long for me to actually get down to business


Chapter 4: Training and Exams

Several months passed since meeting with the Number One Pro Hero, and Izuku was exasperated. He was training up at Dagobah Beach with Katsuki, and she was not making it easy.

Don't get him wrong, she was training just as hard as he was with hauling the garbage that littered the once-beautiful beach. With two people, it was going pretty fast. Well, faster than if it was just him. The routine became, well routine. After school, the two would study together, and finish their homework, after of which, they would shower up and change into their workout clothes and, on an empty spot on the beach, would spar, both with and without their quirks. When a winner was declared, they would start moving trash to a truck parked on the side of the road, provided by Hisashi, who would help out by hauling the trash to a nearby dump before going on his patrols.

No, what wasn't easy was her workout outfit. A training bra, under a very thin tanktop, along with some very tight yoga pants. And she knew it was making him a bit... sweatier than normal. And that made her smirk at him. It became regular for him to take a cold shower when he got home after the training. Its like she was trying to get him to commit arson as every time she gave him that come-hither look, he would lose control of his quirk and melt a pile of scrap metal, or at least warp it weirdly in his heat.

Inko, noticing his new routine, helped with healthy meals to give him the energy he needed with a meal plan provided by Hisashi's friend Sir Nighteye. To help with his quirk training, Hisashi gave Izuku a set of police grade road flares, in order not only to increase his stamina, but how much he fire he could store at a time. He was able to increase the amount quite drastically after a good long month.

Now this training wasn't with out its snags. Both Izuku and Katsuki both ran into roadblocks at different parts during the training. Katsuki was trying her best to create explosions with a small amount of force but a brighter light and louder noise, essential a makeshift concussion grenade esque explosion to disorient villains and criminals. While great sounding on paper, she wasn't having the greatest of times putting it into practice, as she was used to creating explosions that were used to add force to her physical attacks, such as with her Howitzer Impact she made when she was 10. While Izuku would laugh good-naturedly, she would get back at him with his own roadblock, trying to focus his flames into a single point in order to control the fire from spreading and causing collateral damage. Like Katsuki, Izuku would use his quirk to augment his physical punches and kicks, his only real long range attack being his Roar. But with both of them there for each other, they were able make progress on the snags in their training. While they weren't able to meet their goals in time for the entrance exams, they were able to get further then they thought possible. They were even able to finish cleaning the beach with 2 weeks to spare. They spent the rest of that time bouncing ideas off of each other, light exercises and for small experimentation.

And now here they were, in front of the most prestegious Hero School in the country of Japan. UA High School. They knew that they prepared as much as the could.

"Good luck, Izukun! I'll see you inside in a bit. I have to go to the bathroom" Katsuki exclaimed, as she ran to the building.

"Good luck, Kaachan! Hurry, though, we have 20 minutes to get to our seats." Izuku replied, walking at a reasonable pace towards the testing site.

'Today, I work on my path towards being a hero! I will make my dad, Kaachan, and All Might proud.' he thought as he put his foot in front of him...

And promptly tripped on a crack in the concrete. 'Or I could just die, that works too. I leave all my earthly possessions to Sir Nighteye, and donate my body to science.'

He then noticed that he hadn't hit the ground after 15 seconds of mentally writing his will.

'How am I flying?'

"Oh I'm so sorry for using my quirk on you. Its just, if you tripped that would be bad luck, and none of us need that." a cheerful voice said. Izuku looked up (down) to see a brunette, with a perma-blush, shoulder length hair, and warm brown eyes.

The girl then put her hands together in a peak and said "Release"

And gravity, the bitch that it was, caused Izuku to fall, to which he barrel rolled and promptly stood to his feet. He turned around and faced the person who saved him.

"Thanks very much for that. I wasn't paying attention at all. I'm just super excited! I get to start my dream to be a hero like All Might and my dad, Igneel" he replied, "I'm Izuku Midoriya. Its nice to meet you."

"Ochaco Uraraka. Its nice to meet you, too. Shall we get going. We have to be in our seats soon." She responded.

"Oh right! Lets go!" He yelled, as he accidentally grabbed the girl's wrist and ran to the class room where the written exam was being held. After finding the room he realized he was holding something. Or rather a red faced someone. "Oh my god! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to drag you with me! I just didn't want to be late."

"That's okay, I would have never found the site if you hadn't dragged me." Ochaco said. 'His hand was warm.'

Izuku blushed as Ochaco smiled at him. 'Must protect that smile'

They continued to stare at each others eyes. 'His/Her eyes are very pretty'

A throat clearing knocked them out of their little observations. They turned to see a smirking, red-eyed blonde staring at them.

"Kaachan! I-I-I-" Izuku started to stutter before Katsuki but her index finger on his lips.

"Izukun, its okay. You know, I knew I couldn't keep your amazingness to myself. Just know that I get all of your firsts." Katsuki purred, ending her sentence with a seductive look.

"REALLY, KAACHAN!" Izuku screamed, his head on fire and face redder than it has ever been before.

"I'm just kidding, mostly. Now lets get to our seats, your right next to me. Talk with your new friend later" She replied.

"I'm so sorry about her. She's been like that forever. Since we were four, and we got our quirks actually." Izuku apologized, hoping his childhood friend didn't scare his new one, "She is right though. Good luck, Uraraka-chan."

"Good luck, Midoriya-kun" Ochaco responded after getting her super red face under control. But what that other girl, Kaachan, said for some reason didn't bother her like she thought it would have... WAIT! She just met him! She should get to know him before making any kind of move, and she knew it. Damn hormones. The scales on his hands looked really pretty though.

After the written exam, to which Izuku and Katsuki were positive the passed, it was time to get into their workout clothes and head to the gymnasium for the practical. Inside were a plethora of student hopefuls and a couple of large doorways labeled with Greek letters.

"EVERYBODY SAY HEEEEEEEEEEY! I am your host with the most, Present Mic!" said a man with long, spiked up blonde hair and black Kamina sunglasses, "Welcome young listeners to your practical exam. Now settle down as I explain what you little listeners have to do to pass. On your way in you were given a pamphlet describing a few things including the faux villains. This is what it boils down to, kids, you have five minutes to complete your task of getting enough points to pass. The faux villains on your pamphlet are your obstacles, each one worth a different point value. Those values are 1 point, 2 points, and 3 points. There is a fourth robot on your pamphlet, this is a 0-pointer, worth no points and is more like a wall to keep you from progressing, like the thwomps in the old Super Mario Games. Try your best to avoid them if you can."

That statement forced the hand of someone in the crowd with blue hair and glasses down, as he was about to interrupt the voice hero.

"I guess we're in different sections, Izukun" Katsuki said, looking over Izuku's shoulder at his assigned section. Area B while she was in Area D.

"Good luck, Kaachan" her best friend called as he ran towards the Area B door. He then looked to see Ochaco stretching, trying to calm her nerves.

He makes his way to her so that he can calm her nerves when he feels a hand on his shoulder. "She looks like she's trying to concentrate. Are you trying to sabotage her chances?"

"No I-" a buzzer went off signalling the doors to open. But no body moved.

"What are you waiting for? There's no count down in real life! GOOOOOO!" Present Mic said with his quirk, causing all the students to freak out a little and run through the door in to the testing area.

Immediately, Izuku ran into a 1-pointer. Focusing his flames to his feet, he jumped right as the bot saw him, aiming its gun at him ready to shoot. But it wasn't ready for a firey, scaly fist shoved into its eye. Izuku ripped his hand out of the head of the 1-pointer. He didn't see the blonde boy with a large belt looking a slight bit annoyed.

"Sacre Bleu" the boy commented.

Meanwhile, Izuku was running around, attacking any robot "villains", as well as helping anyone who needed it. "38 points, not bad Izuku" He said to himself. As he hopped off his latest defeat, he heard Present Mic's 2 minute announcement.

"Well, I guess I better get moving," Izuku responded, "I wonder how Kaachan is doing"

Cut to Katsuki, with a malicious grin on her face, "Hahahahaha, get bent you robot extras! I am your goddess, now bow"

Back with Izuku, who somehow heard that, responded with a sweatdrop, "I guess she's okay."

The ground then shook. Many exam participants ran past him with fear in their eyes. He was confused. Then he wasn't. "THAT'S A 0-POINTER!?"

He turned to run away, until he heard her. He shifted his eyes to see Ochaco pinned under some rubble, and in the robot's warpath. His legs moved on their own, his quirk activated on its own, he would save her. Hands set ablaze, he activated his technique. Rapid fire punches with his hands set on fire. He bellowed at the 0-pointer, who's foot was seconds away from the prone and frightened girl. "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragons Fist!" The 0-pointer was stopped in its tracks. Then it was pushed back. Then it was destroyed.

Izuku, in midair, exhausted, started falling. His eyes started to close, before he was slapped in the face by Ochaco, floating on a rock. "And release!" and he fell a little gentler to the ground as did the rock that Ochaco was on. Who then proceeded to void her stomach next to the rock.

That was when the school nurse arrived at the scene. "They get more and more reckless every year with this. Does anyone need any attention?"

The boy that had stopped Izuku earlier, points to the exhausted boy and the dizzy young girl, while thinking about the heroism that was shown by the green haired boy he had dismissed as a nuisance.

The blond from before started to whisper that this old woman was the backbone of UA High School, the Youthful Heroine: Recovery Girl, whose quirk could heal any injury as long as the patient had enough stamina.

"I just think I sprained my ankle, he looks like he needs it more than me," Ochaco explained, "he took on that huge robot by himself!"

"That's all well and good, dearie, but I can tell from here that all he needs is some rest. He looks like he exhausted his quirk, and those scrapes and bruises are minor at best" the heroine explained.

"Yep, all good here" came the reply from the semi-conscious boy with a thumbs up that quickly fell to the ground.

"If they don't accept him, I will personally kick the crap out of the ones who said no," Recovery Girl said.

A few hours later, Izuku found himself in an infirmary bed with a few bandages wrapped around his arms, legs and his head.

"Ah, your awake," said an elderly voice,"Your little girlfriends left a few messages for you"

He lifted his head to see one of his favorite heroines, Recovery Girl. If he wasn't so exhausted from the day's events, he would geek out a bit. He still wanted her autograph though. "Wait, WHAT!?"

"Yes, your little girlfriends left a message for you each. The wild one said that she was proud of you, and that you better get well. The little cinnamon roll wanted to thank you for saving her."

"That was nice of them but neither one of us are going out right now," was Izuku's reply.

"Then you better get your butt moving on that front, young man," came the Youthful Heroine's rebuttal.

After some more playful banter between nurse and patient, along with Izuku asking Recovery Girl for her autograph, he was allowed to leave.

When Izuku got home, he and his family had a small dinner, and once he was done with his shower he hit his mattress, not even bothering to remove his covers. If one were to listen closely, you could hear the young man snoring as his exhaustion caught up with him.


A/N: Sorry that it took so long to upload this next chapter. When life hits ya it hits like a bus. As stated before, my grandfather passed away a couple months ago, the literal week after I had updated both stories. So that happened. On top of that, one of my roommates quit his job because of incompetent upper management and their abysmal scheduling skills. Constantly having him stay past his time to finish up because there wasn't enough people. So that also happened. One last thing about this fic I would like to experiment with:

Yandere!Ochaco: No she will not go full Yuno Gasai, but she will be come immensely jealous of any girl besides the ones she approves of coming near her green bean
