Ben noticed the look on Izuku's face and huffed fondly as he ruffled his hair.

"You know being afraid is fine, what matters is pushing past the fear. Just focus on the time!"

Izuku nodded and let out a sigh as he stared at the doors. This was it. There was no turning back this time.

"Let's do this!"

Ben nods as he faces the door too.

"Just drown out all the what ifs and fear of failure. In moments like this, only one thing should matter. Being a Hero and doing the right thing no matter what. In other words …"

The bell tolls as the doors fling themselves open showing a scaled down city scape.

"... It's Hero Time!"

In a flash of green Ben was once again Lodestar and deep within the city in seconds flat, a trail of robot parts in his wake as they were ripped apart from magnetic forces.

"I'll try my best Ben! I won't let anything stop me!"

Izuku ran straight in to find whatever robots he could take down for points. Though it seems that everywhere he went they were all getting ripped apart by someone else and their quirks. That wasn't the only problem...his feet wouldn't move! Anytime he saw the radiating red glare from the robots, he just seemed to freeze right up! What is he going to do?!

Ben's words from moments ago echoed through his mind.

Just focus on the time huh…? H- here goes nothing!

In moments Izuku's racing heart actually slowed down some and he could finally do what he did best, analysis! While the robots might look scary their programming wasn't all that sophisticated, more akin to a boss in a game than anything truly alive.

His eyes widened as he finally understood the movements of the 1st and 2nd pointers, even managing to make a few destroy themselves from attacking the others or using the damage they did to the environment to have them maim themselves.

While he was making good progress, he would need more points than that in order to pass and get accepted. Izuku continued to run around looking for more robots but all he managed to find were their busted remains. Crap, this wasn't good! Time was running out as well!

The teachers and the principles watched their performances through screens in a dark room. Though All Might was glad that Izuku was able to destroy some of them without even using his quirk, he too was getting worried about the amount of points he had.

Come on young Midoriya! You've got this!

They talked about what they would need in order to stand up to these robots and win which included a calm mind, speed, information gathering, pure power, and combat ability. The most successful were the ones to use all these tactics. Though their main challenge was yet to come. One of the teacher's fingers loomed over a button before pressing it. Let's see how they react.

With the push of that button, electrical wires snapped from their poles as the ground started to shake violently gaining the attention of everyone there. Giant wings of dust appeared as the towering no-pointer had made itself known. Izuku looked up at the colossal robot intimidated as it looked down upon the students. Izuku's eyes widened and looked at it in shock and terror.

I-Isn't this a little extreme?!

The enormous robot reared back a fist before slamming it forward causing another giant gust of wind destroying part of the ground underneath the fist. Izuku flinched due to the giant gush of wind and soon saw others running past him as his breathing started to get faster. The rush of fear even got him down on his bottom.

If Lodestar could he'd be blinking in shock.

What type of school lets loose a giant death robot??? Especially one that doesn't seem to care about collateral damage!

Before it could possibly harm any of the fleeing students Lodestar floated in front of the giant mech and outstretched both arms, stopping not only the fist it sent his way but the robot entirely. Though if anyone was looking closely they'd notice it wasn't just stopped. It was actually rising into the air even as it's body crinkled like a beer can from the magnetic waves affecting its body. By the time it was fully up on the air it's entire arm was a deformed mess and the legs were soon following.

Izuku stared at Ben handling the situation like it was no one's business. He really was amazing. His eyes staggered down as he let out a sad sigh. There was no way to finish the test. With a mediocre amount of points that they're not going to take into account. Izuku was about to get up to walk with the rest of the students before hearing a yell...a yell for help!

"Help! Please I'm pinned!"

Izuku turned to see a brown haired girl who was pinned underneath some rubble from the robot's destruction. Izuku stared for a moment as he felt himself start running towards the girl in order to help her. Even if he couldn't get any other points, he couldn't just leave her like that.

"Hold on! I'm coming!"

As Izuku ran towards the girl, the robot's other massive fist reared for a jet-powered punch, only to be rebounded by the magnetic field being held together by Lodestar. Izuku's eyes widened as the entire rocket-powered colossal arm came rearing straight for the girl as it flew through the air unattached from the main body. He didn't stop running, he didn't slow down, hell his speed increased.

He didn't know what exactly to do but he had to do something. Izuku took the second to get into a jumping position feeling something strange in his legs. Something powerful. He soon shot off incredibly high into the air heading straight for the huge robot fist.

All Might smirked as he saw what was happening.

There are no combat points rewarded for taking on a humongous villain. But there is opportunity! A chance to shine! To show what you're really made of! So clench your buttcheeks kid! And yell this from the depths of your heart!

SMASH!

Izuku grunted as he could feel this strange paralyzing power reach into his fist as he came even closer to the monumental sized robot fist. He reared his arm back before closing his eyes and landing a solid powerful hit to the colossal arm sending it back in its path while falling apart due to the high-powered punch. Izuku stared back at the retreating dismantling robot arm not even noticing his legs and arms were shattered.

The rest of the class including Lodestar (not that you could really tell) stared back in awe and confusion as the arm hit the ground behind its body causing another huge crash.

"JUST ONE MINUTE LEFT!"

That got Izuku to snap out of his awe ridden daze and realized he was falling considerably quick hurdling to the ground. He panicked as he saw the state of his ruined arm and floppy broken legs. Izuku grunted as he held his shoulder with his one good hand and tears spilled seeing the rapidly approaching pavement.

Ben quickly snapped out of his daze and increased the power he held over the robot collapsing it in on itself until it was a ball as he dove down to catch Izuku in a Mana construct before he could hit the ground. In a green flash Ben was back to normal and walking on green disks of Mana to gently touch Izuku down to the ground. He saw the girl Izuku was trying to save and got her unpinned as well while bringing her over in another Mana construct.

This exam was poorly proctored if people can get this hurt even if they have a miracle healer on staff. Something like this would never fly in Plumber Academy.

Ben grit his teeth as he went about using his Mana to heal both of them from their wounds as he berated himself for not finishing the robot sooner. He glared at Izuku's wounds. All Might will definitely have some questions to answer after this.

By the time the test was officially over and Recovery Girl got to them the girl was fully healed and Izuku's body was well on it's way to stitching itself back together again. Once he was kissed her power interacted with Ben's Mana and got super charged. Not only was Izuku healed but at no cost to himself, the excess Mana joined his own pool and acted as a minor buffer for serious wounds and passively speeding up his healing to boot.

Not that Recovery Girl could tell the last bit as she made sure Ben was unharmed. Izuku at this point didn't really care that he was healed up. He wasn't able to score any more points. He slammed his fist on the ground gritting his teeth. He failed.

Ben frowns as he flicks his forehead.

"Hey, none of that. You trying to save her and temporarily destroying your body already shows you're a Hero even if you don't get into some fancy school."

Izuku looked up at Ben in shock before sighing and moving to sit down normally. While the students were down there, the teachers watched in curiosity at the spectacle they had just witnessed.

"That one student Ben Tennyson. He is quite impressive. He was able to rack up the most amount of points in both categories. What did you say his quirk was again?"

"Omniform. Unlimited shapeshifting to preset conditions."

"Well the kid is able to use it quite efficiently. It's kind of incredible. But what about the one boy with the scruffier hair? Izuku Midoriya?"

"He was listed as quirkless but this test sure came as a surprise. What he did to that robot's arm was definitely not something someone without a quirk could do. While he's fine now it did seem to come at a price. Three of his four limbs were shattered after that jump and that punch. How strange."

Aizawa frowned as he peered at the brunette, somehow he doubted Ben was anything but green.

"You said his Quirk was shapeshifting? What of that green solid energy he used not only as constructs but to heal others?"

"Now that is something we are uninformed about. It came as a shock to us as well. We'll have to ask about it when we get the chance."

Aizawa nods, yes something really isn't matching with the available information. This Ben Tennyson is either the world's most natural superhero or some sort of vigilante that decided to go clean. Though even that didn't sound all that right, something like what was seen here today would have definitely been on the news at some point.

Izuku let out a sigh as he got back up to his feet with a look of disappointment on his face. He was glad that he was able to save that girl and even get some points beforehand but it most likely wouldn't be enough.

"Hey kid!"

Izuku was shocked out of his thoughts as he turned up and saw the same girl he saved from the giant robot arm. She ran up to him and smiled brightly.

"I just wanted to say thank you for saving me! That was really brave of you!"

Izuku stared at the happy looking girl before breaking out into a small smile of his own. While he didn't pass the exam, he was glad that he was able to save her from getting greatly harmed. He nodded as his smile got a bit bigger.

"No problem!"

Ben smiles on the sidelines, glad she wasn't overlooking Izuku for him. Soon enough everyone had gone home and Izuku was in the living room thinking about how he failed. His biceps flexed as he lifted the weight while thinking.

All Might. Somehow...someway...you saw potential in me. But I failed. I let both of us down so much. I'm sorry...but I'll keep trying…

The door slammed open causing him to look to the side as he saw his mom scramble towards him.

"A letter! Izuku they came! Izuku, look you got a letter! They're here! Your test results! From UA!"

Izuku stared at the letting in her hands with a sadness on his face. He nodded and took the letter respectfully before disappearing to his room to open it. He could hear his mother walking back and forth nervously outside the door as he stared at the letter. Almost like it was mocking him.

He soon took it in his hands and tore it open with a small round device falling out of it onto his desk. It soon started shining as a projection on his wall, shocking the young Midoriya.

"Boo yah! I am here as a projection now! I know it's been awhile but with great power comes a great amount of paperwork! My apologies, young man! The truth is I didn't come to this city just to fight villains! You are looking at the newest UA faculty member!"

"Y-You're seriously going to be working at UA?!"

As All Might smiled forward a person tapped him causing him to go to the screen and ask what's the matter.

"Oh sorry, I'll wrap it up but I have to show him something first! Wait, I have to do how many of these things?! Uggh! Right! So moving on! Even though you passed the written test and were able to score some points on the practical exam, you wouldn't be able to UA...Sorry."

Izuku looked at the screen with sad eyes biting his lip and looking down at the desk trying not to cry.

I know that. Of course I know! It's all I've thought about! I'm a failure!

"Fortunately, there were other factors! But before we get to that, I have another surprise! Here! Look, a short clip for your viewing pleasure!"

All Might pressed a button on the remote and the tv turned on showing a video of that girl which caused Izuku's eyes to widen in shock.

"Um do you have a sec? Sorry to interrupt."

"She showed up after the exam to talk about you young man! What did she have to say?! You'll have to stay tuned to find out!"

"You know that boy with the really messy hair and all the freckles? It's hard to describe his face. He's kind of plain looking, uh doesn't really stand out or anything you know?"

She means me!

"I was wondering...would it be possible to give him some of the points I earned in the exam? I heard him talking about wanting to get some more points in! It's just not fair you know? How could someone who took down that huge robot and saved me not get into UA? He would've had more points if he didn't stop to help me! He saved me! I have to make it up to him! Please sir! Can't you just give him my points?!"

Izuku stood up from his chair in shock of what he was hearing and All Might paused the video.

"You have a quirk now, yes! But it's your actions that inspire others! And that's why I am here! You see the practical exam was not graded on combat alone!"

"Thanks for showing up to the station with your request. But there's no reason to give him your points. The kid's charting well on his own!"

"How could a hero course reject someone who is committed to saving others no matter the consequences to himself?! After all, that is what makes a hero! And that's why my alma mater is all about! Training those who would risk their lives for greater good! So we have rescue points! A panel of judges watches and they reward points for heroic acts beyond just fighting villains. Izuku Midoriya ! 60 rescue points! You were only outdone by Ben Tennyson who had 75 rescue points and just above Ochaco Uraraka with 45 rescue points! You three passed the exam!"

At this revelation Izuku stared at the projection in awe as his eyes watered and he could barely form words at this great news! All Might turned back to the screen and held his hand out.

"Welcome!..Izuku! You have made it! You are now part of the Hero Academia!"

Izuku continued to try to hold his tears in before letting them go and nodding at the news he was given by All Might. He rubbed his tears away with his jacket sleeves.

It took a lot of help! But my life has changed completely! And now! I'm enrolling in the high school of my dreams! I can't wait to tell Ben and my mom!

At that moment the doorbell rang, a grinning Ben on the other side wanting to celebrate with Izuku on them both passing.

Once the door opened Ben bowed to Inko and held up a bag of delivery food.

"Sorry for dropping by unannounced but I figured we could celebrate getting into UA!"

Inko smiled and let him in as Ben walked to Izuku's room and saw the happy teary eyed teen pointing to the projector.

"B-Ben I passed! I passed!"

Ben chuckled as he showed the food.

"Yeah I got my letter just now too and went to get some food to celebrate! I even got your favorite and Inko's too!"

Izuku smiled widely at that before walking over to Ben and giving him a hug to which Ben returned. They soon separated and went to the living room to eat. Izuku wasn't expecting any of this at all but he sure wasn't complaining.

Ben grins as he points a chopstick at Izuku after eating a strand of lo mien.

"I told you you'd make it! If you didn't pass it'd just show that school doesn't know a real hero when it sees one."

Izuku nodded and continued to eat as he smiled to himself. He really made it! He really did! And not everyone who was going there was against him. He had All Might, Ben, and maybe even Ochaco on his side. He remembered when everyone would make fun of him for being quirkless. But that didn't matter now. He had a quirk and he was going to UA!

A month had passed and Izuku had been training with All Might to prepare for his first day. It turns out he had overworked and sped through his training which is why his bones couldn't handle All Might's quirk just yet. It was a tough and stressful month but he got through it. He finished zipping up his bags as his mother talked.

"Izuku! You're all set?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure? You didn't just pack action figures right?"

"I have everything! Now I gotta go! I don't want to be late!"

"Izuku!"

"What?!"

He turned to see his mother who was smiling at him happily and proud.

"I'm really proud of you son."

Izuku gasped at that but soon smiled as he opened the door.

"I'll see you soon!"

Izuku soon left his home and met Ben in the hallway of his apartment complex.

"Ben! You ready??"

He nods as he lifts his green backpack and hums in thought.

"You know if you really want to get there quick I could just teleport us there."

"Seriously?! Well then yeah!"

He grins before pulling Izuku into his apartment so no one will see them before transforming into his Pugnavore form, a green humanoid alien species that feeds on excitement and drama.

With a showman's voice he grasps Izuku's shoulder and raises his other hand ready to snap.

"And. Away. We. Go!"

In no time at all and hardly any sign of their presence arriving they were instantly in an alleyway close to the school. Another green flash left a smiling Ben behind.

"Ah, which reminds me! The form I was in just now has a pretty wide teleportation range, if you ever want to journey the Galaxy we can do it with him and be back for lunch!"

Izuku's eyes widened after hearing that. Seriously?! The galaxy?! He'd definitely be up for that some time. But they should probably find their classroom.

"Sure but let's go find our classroom!"

Ben nods as he checks a map of the school on his phone leading the way to the comically big double doors to their classroom, room 1-A.

"Jeez, are there giants at this school? I wonder who's in our class."

Izuku's mind immediately went to Bakugo and Iida causing him to scare himself and shake his head at the possibility. Hopefully everyone will be nice in the class. Maybe they're not even in the same class.

Ben ruffles his hair and chuckles.

"Hey, no need to be so nervous. I doubt they'd let any bullying go on and if anyone did they'd have to answer to me."

Izuku looked at him before nodding determined and looking at the giant sized doors before opening them. Things were going to be just fine! Izuku opened the doors and thankfully Bakugo wasn't in the class. The two walked in and took their seats looking around the class and their classmates. However lida was, which caused Izuku to get nervous.

Lida noticed Izuku and immediately raised from his desk introducing himself to which Izuku tried to play off so he wouldn't have to talk to him for long.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Izuku Midoriya."

"Midoriya. You realized that there was something more to the practical exam didn't you? You must be very perceptive. I completely misjudged you! I admit that as a student you are far superior to me!"

I find that hard to believe.

It's not really the reason Izuku decided to punch that robot, but hey. As long as there's no problems between the two I'll take it.

"Hey I recognize that messy hair! Falling boy! I'm glad you got in!"

Izuku turned to see that same brown haired girl he saved from the huge robot fist. It was nice to see her here. Well at least things weren't looking so bad. His first day might not be so bad after all.

"Make way ya bunch of sidekicks! A real hero is coming through!"

I'm screwed.

Izuku didn't even bother to turn his head as he knew who was in his class. The same blonde hotheaded bully that could create explosions with his hands. Well, he knew that it was seeming too good to be true.

Bakugo walked in confident as always and noticed Izuku and glared. He shouldn't be here. He must've cheated. He would've gone over but soon saw that one brown haired kid next to him. His anger got worse considering Ben had gotten a higher score for both villain and rescue points. He walked over to a seat but not before thinking.

I'm gonna ruin those little shits.

"So what do you think we're doing today besides orientation? I wonder what our teachers are like! I can't wait to meet everybody!"

"If you're just here to make friends, you can pack up your stuff now."

Ben looked unsurprised at the hobo looking man that rose up from behind the desk having briefly felt the number of minds in the classroom while a Pugnavore. Though he definitely hoped his appearance was deceptive to his teaching methods.

"Welcome to the UA Hero Course. It took eight seconds before you all shut up. That's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that."

Who is this guy? If he's here then he must be some kind of pro. But he looks so worn out. What's his deal?

"Hello I'm Shoto Aizawa. Your teacher."

This shocked everyone as the man unzipped himself from his snuggie that he was previously engulfed in. Looks can be deceiving but you'd think that a teacher at UA would present themselves a bit less like...that.

"Alright let's get to it. Put these on and head outside."

The teacher said pulling out some uniforms for the class to wear.

"What?! A Quirk Assessment test?!"

"But orientation! We're gonna miss it!"

"If you really want to make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies. Here at UA, we're not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class however I see fit. You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives but you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country's still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day the ministry of education will learn. Tennyson, you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam. How far can you throw a softball using your quirk? Show us."

Ben blinked and grinned as he stepped forward and in a flash of light the dinosaur-like alien Humungousaur was on the field. With a casual throw the ball didn't so much as fly as it rocketed past the atmosphere and the planet entirely. As the stunned silence lasted a while he coughed in embarrassment as he transformed back, the fwooom shattering the spell put over everyone.

The whole class looked in shock, especially Izuku and Bakugo at how far Ben threw the ball. It really was impressive. Aizawa Sensei coughed and walked forward to Ben.

"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities. It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a hero."

Aizawa Sensei held out a phone showing how far Ben's ball went. Infinity.

"INFINITY?!"

Infinity?! Ben you are incredible!

"I want to go! That looks like fun!"

"This is what I'm talking about! Using our quirks as much as we want!"

"So this looks fun huh? You have three years here to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be games and playtime? Idiots. Today you'll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none and will be expelled immediately."

This news shocked the entire class, especially Izuku.

Immediate expulsion?! Eight tests?! Oh crap, this is not good! I can only use One for All at only 0 or 100 percent right now. Sure, my body won't be as damaged due to Ben's powers but still. I can't keep breaking my body over and over again! I don't have any control yet!

Ben couldn't help the grimace on his face, as much as he hated to admit it, superpowers weren't all fun and games. When lives are on the line it's Hero Time, and the best way to Hero is to know your limits.

"Aizawa Sensei, while I agree superpowers aren't all fun and games, isn't it too harsh to expel someone so soon? A policy like that will only build resentment and self hatred. Not a pretty combination paired with powers and hormones."

"While you are correct Ben, I will be looking out for those who might react negatively or violently to my methods. You have nothing to worry about. Now, I hope you're all ready to participate in these challenges."

The day continued to go on as they all made their way through the challenges. Izuku, not wanting to use his quirk, tried his hardest on his own. Which was very admirable but wasn't very helpful to him considering he came in last for all of them. Now lastly was the softball challenge.

The only other person to get an infinity besides Ben was Uraraka which made sense to be honest. A floating quirk would help a lot with this challenge. But the farthest distance in the sense of not infinity was Bakugou at 705.2 meters.

Izuku soon walked into the field with the softball in hand staring at it slightly panicking in his mind.

Crap crap crap! This is the last challenge! And everyone else has had some crazy huge score already! This is my best chance to use One of All!

"If Midoriya doesn't shape up soon, he'll be going home."

"Huh? Of course he is! He's a quirkless loser!"

"Eh. He has a quirk! Did you not hear about what he did in the entrance exam?!"

Aizawa Sensei stared at Izuku as Izuku tried to calm himself down and hype himself up in order to use One for All. Izuku shook his head and soon reared back to throw the ball feeling that same feeling he felt when he punched the robot fist.

I won't let them down!

Izuku let go of the ball only for it to go a few feet forward and bounce to halt pathetically. He stared in shock at this. That couldn't be right. He felt it right before he let go.

"What gives? I was trying to use it just now."

"I erased your quirk. The judges for this exam...were not rational enough!"

Izuku turned to his more serious teacher and gasped at his hair flowing and his wraps circling around his body.

"Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school!"

"Wait, you did what to my q-Wait! Those goggles! I know you! You can look at someone and cancel out their powers! The eraser hero...Eraser Head!"

The other students talked amongst themselves but they didn't realize All Might standing out of sight watching the spectacle.

Aizawa is one of those guys who doesn't like the media because he thinks they interfere with our work. And he judges celebrity heroes like me because I look good in the spotlight!

"You're not ready! You don't have control over your power! Were you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?"

"What? No! That's not it at al-Ugh!"

Izuku felt Aizawa's fabric wrap around his body and pull him close to him.

"No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability at battle! You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved a thousand people by himself and became a legend. But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down! Sorry Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero."

Despite his whole speech, Izuku didn't back down and only glared while tightening his fist. He felt the fabric let him go and he was soon back on his feet.

"I returned your impractical quirk. Take your final throw. Hurry, get it over with."

Aizawa finally finished walking back to his spot as Izuku looked at the ground miffed. He did not break his bones and move all that garbage on the beach to be told what he had been hearing his entire life...again!

I've only got one shot at nailing this so what am I gonna do?

Is he going to use his quirk and have to end up in the nurse's room again like a fool? Or admit defeat and settle into last place. Either way, he doesn't belong here.

Do I let my arm get ruined again? It might be the only way I get to stay at UA. I have to try something! No matter what the consequences!

A waste of a quirk.

Izuku reared back once more with more force this time and determination on his face. He was not going to fail especially after he's made it so far just to get here!

Aizawa Sensei was right about one thing. If I can't control my quirk, there's no way I'll ever become a hero! I have to work way harder than everyone else here if I want to succeed! Even if I have a lot to learn, I'll focus on what I can do right now!

Izuku soon felt that strange power once more but it soon only was focused into one point. He let out a yell as he launched the ball far into the air shocking everyone. Izuku stared forward as he gritted his teeth and watched the ball disappear into the air. His finger was healing and it hurt but not as bad as before!

I-I...I did it!

Aizawa stared at his phone to see the distance being only slightly above Bakugo's distance with a small smile. 705.3 meters. He soon looked up at the boy who turned to him with an only slightly damaged finger.

"Aizawa Sensei...my arm isn't broken!"

This kid!

I was worried about you, young man! But you're doing a great job! You knew you had to use One for All but not at full power or else you'd be KOed! So you threw the ball and at the last second, focused all that energy into your finger to not only send it launching but save the rest of your arm! What the heck young Midoriya! How did you go and get so cool?!

Ben smiled as he wordlessly began to heal his finger.

"You had me worried for a bit there glad you didn't do anything rash."

"Y-Yeah!"

"Holy crap, he threw it over seven hundred meters!"

"He's finally showing us his true power!"

"His finger seemed to be destroyed for a moment just like at the exam. How odd."

While the rest were cheering while Bakugo stared in disbelief at not only how Izuku threw the ball, the fact that it went farther than his, but also how he suddenly had a quirk after years of not having one.

What the hell was that?! If he had a quirk, he would've gotten it when we were kids! This is impossible! He's up to something! I'm getting to the bottom of this!

Bakugo flared his hands up while charging at Izuku with a look of pure hatred and anger apparent on his face.

"HEY! DEKU YOU BASTARD! TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR YOU'RE DEAD!"

Izuku screamed in terror as Bakugo ran at him but soon was shocked as he felt nothing come his way. He opened his eyes to see Bakugo being contained by Aizawa and his fabric. Bakugo turned around struggling to move.

"Why the hell is your damn scarf so strong?!"

"Because it's a capture weapon made out of carbon fiber and a special metal alloy. Stand down! It would be wise to avoid making me use my quirk so much! It gives me a serious dry eye! You're wasting my time now. Everyone, let's move to this part of the field."

Izuku inched around Bakugo as he made his way back to Ben and the rest of the group. Bakugo tightened his fist as he looked back at Izuku.

Until the exam he was nothing! A little bug I could crush if I wanted to! Just an annoying bug! That I can smash into the ground!

The class soon followed Aizawa Sensei to the part of the field he was mentioning. Izuku was not doing so good in his head. He had come in last for all the other challenges. He was still going home! Crap, what was he supposed to do?!

The person ranked last is gonna be expelled! And the only test I was good at was the softball throw! Can I sneak by just on that score alone? I bombed the rest of the challenges!

Aizawa pressed a button and the scores were shown on a holographic chart. The students looked at their scores and their names. Izuku was in last place.

I'm going home...I failed!

"And I was lying, no one's going home. That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all for the tests!"

Everyone looked at him shocked and reacted similarly, especially Izuku. It was a relief sure but he felt like he was going to pass out due to the fear of him going home. This teacher was definitely something.

Another student talked about how it was strange the rest of them didn't figure that out. Well, telling each other that would have probably helped a lot but whatever. The rest were relieved and talked about how nerve wracking the challenges were.

"That's it. We're done for the day. Pick up a syllabus in the classroom. Read it over before tomorrow morning."

Izuku let out a sigh as he rubbed his hair back. Wow, that was mentally exhausting. But on the bright side, he wasn't going home! Awesome. Though he could've done without almost dying to Bakugo.

The school day was soon over and Izuku and Ben said goodbye to lida and Uraraka and the two continued to walk home.

"Well I guess today wasn't too horrible. I did end up in last but I didn't get sent home so there's that."

"I had a feeling he wouldn't actually send anyone home. That'd be a pretty terrible policy to put in place. Also, that Bakugo guy was pretty lucky Aizawa stopped him before I could. I'm surprised he wasn't out right expelled for it honestly."

"Yeah. I mean when the majority of the population has quirks, they sort of let things like that fly I suppose. No one got hurt so in their eyes it's excusable."

Ben frowns at the memory of what could have happened in the exam.

"They did though. That test they had for an entrance exam was ridiculous. If we weren't there Ochaka might have actually died."

"Yeah that robot was a bit extreme. I mean, I get that villains aren't going to be holding back or giving us chances to try and think but jeez."

Ben nods as he stretches

"It was also really combat oriented too. Not fair to people with Quirks that can't deal with robots."

Izuku and Ben talked right up until they were at their apartments. Izuku was scared but he couldn't wait for tomorrow. He wasn't sure what was in store for him tomorrow but he'd have to be headstrong about it and not let anything get in his way!
