The day of the UA entrance exams was finally upon Izuku and though he had earned a title for himself in his little town this was an entirely different stage for him. And this was made entirely too clear when an eerily familiar head of blonde hair brushed past him saying something sounding like "move it small fry."

It was irritating for the blonde asshole to push him aside, but he was training to be a hero. Sometimes you had to let things like that go and just keep moving forward. So that's exactly what Izuku did he took his first steps forward into UA. And immediately tripped and began to fall on his face. He groaned internally as the ground quickly approached. "Hell, of a way to start the exams."

As he braced himself, he was suddenly overcome with a feeling of weightlessness. He looked around and found a brunette girl with what looked like a permanent blush with her hand outstretched. She grabbed him and righted him before touching her fingertips together. "Release. Sorry, I shouldn't have used my quirk on you, but it would have been bad luck to fall before the exam, right? This is nerve-wracking, huh?" Before Izuku could properly gather his thought, the girl had already wandered off into the halls of UA saying something about wishing each other luck. Based on the girl's kindness, Izuku has hope that this school will be great alongside other hero hopefuls.

Izuku was ushered through the halls of UA. Even as the top hero school in the country it was massive within. There were tons of kids being ushered through until eventually he found his exam room. He was seated more towards the back near the blonde from earlier, but a little bit behind him. One of the teachers came in and handed out the tests. In all honestly it was a good amount of information packed together. None of the problems were complex, but it was an application of concepts they should have learned to make sure they were all at a certain level. There were a few questions that Izuku struggled with, but he finished it with enough time to look it over once more. The most concerning thing was simply making sure that he at least attempted every question.

Eventually after the tests were rounded up, a new teacher came in. He was a tall blonde with pretty cool shades. "Alright listeners can I get a YEAH"

"YEAH" Izuku looked around as he and Present Mic were the only ones to celebrate. Izuku immediately covered his head as the rest of his testing hall stared in his direction. Present Mic seemed satisfied and began to go over the parts of the practical exam. He introduced each of the three robots from one to three points and took special amounts of detail to explain them. Almost as if he were trying to get people to pick up points.

Then it clicked! Logically there was no way that people with less offensive quirks had no way to go about this exam, but offensive quirks didn't make heroes. So, this was to give them a chance to score some kind of points. But that couldn't be just it, there must be something more to the…

Izuku's train of thought was suddenly interrupted when a blue haired student suddenly stood up ramrod straight. "It says on the pamphlet that there would be four types of robots, if that is a misprint by UA then that reflects badly on the university. And you in the back with the green hair stop your muttering some of us are trying to listen." The blonde in front of him snickered a bit at him getting reprimanded. All the class's attention was on him again, but before he could say anything Present Mic called the attention of the class back to himself. He explained that the zero pointer was more of an arena trap than anything. That comment immediately caught Izuku's attention. That probably meant that it would be more trouble than it was worth to take down and nearly impossible for people without offensive quirks.

Eventually they were all dismissed and left to go to the changing rooms to prepare for the men's examination. Izuku found himself in one of the less crowded men's locker rooms changing before the exams. He had brought some black athletic shorts and a gray sleeveless shirt to change into. As he was mentally preparing himself to go through the practical, he started hearing off-handed comment as he went down the hallway.

"Is that the guy from Asakusa"

"Yea, that's him"

"Why does he have on makeup and what's with those stupid bandages around his arm does he think he's good enough to take the exam injured"

"Those fuckers always get so full of themselves as if any of those thugs could be heroes."

That was as much as Izuku could hear as he turned the corner and headed for the bus station that would take them all to their exam sites. Izuku got on and road over to site B. As he looked around the people taking the test, he saw the same brown-haired girl from earlier. She was obviously stressing about the exam and Izuku decided that he would try and help her out since she had helped him earlier. As he started to make his way over to her he felt a hand clamp down on his shoulder.

"What do you think you're doing? That girl is obviously trying to focus, are you intentionally trying to distract us so that we won't do as well?" His comments caught the attention of most of the other examinees and they focused in on Izuku, writing him off completely as someone who could not compete for one of the remaining spots at UA. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. That nice girl had made him think the best of these people and yet they weren't heroic in the slightest. They've done nothing but disrespect him and his town since he got here. He yanked his shoulder free and looked the blue haired boy dead in the eyes before marching past him and away from the rest of the test takers. He'd show them what Asakusa had to offer one way or another.

He could see Present Mic on top of the large gate that was starting to open. His eyes started to glow a bright green and the air around him began to heat up before he heard Present Mic yell start. As the other examinees tried to gather themselves from such a sudden start a flaming blur flew overtop towards the city.

"There are no countdowns in the real world, at least one of you has the right idea!" That got the rest of the examinees moving, but it was all just background noise for Izuku after all… the festival was starting.
