[UA School Entrance]

[Time: 08:30]

We are in front of the doors of the UA. Several students from different schools were entering the building to take this test in order to get into UA, the most well-known and praised school in Japan. It is known for having students who are now popular heroes, such as All Might for example, who also was a student at this school.

Izuku, who was wearing his school uniform, arrived running without getting tired due to his training. The problem was that he was in a hurry and he was nervous, because this was the moment. It's today that he has to show how his 10 months of training with All Might and 5 months with the Turtles paid off.

Izuku: "I arrived just in time." - Said while walking.

As he walked, Izuku was left thinking about what happened earlier today, when All Might made the boy swallow his hair. Just for Izuku to remember that, he's already disgusted, but it was necessary. He didn't have time to test One For All and was worried that he hadn't received the power, but according to All Might, soon the boy will feel the power within him and that the boy will be able to use it during the exam, even more so. by your physique.

Izuku stopped walking when he felt his cell phone vibrate. He picks up his device and sees that he had received messages from his mother, who had wished her son good luck, and from the four turtles.

Donnie

Good luck, Izuku! Remember all you learned and studied.

Raph

Check it out, boy! If you have to break and hit something, do it! Just do it!

Mikey

Go on, Izuku! Show everything i've taught. Oh, and if you have to scream a catchphrase when you attack. Like i do when i scream: "Booyakasha!".

Leo

You'll make it, Izuku. Me, Master Splinter and My brothers believe in you. Show them, Izuku.

Izuku smiled and even laughed a little at Mikey's message. He was happy to see that more people believed him. Izuku put his cell phone away before he heard anyone.

???: "Get out of my way, Deku!"

Izuku turned around and saw his former childhood friend. Katsuki Bakugou. A boy who has short, spiky blond hair with irregular bangs that fall over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and red in color.

Bakugou: "I told you to get out of my way or you'll die! Go, hurry up!"

Izuku didn't say anything and didn't show any reaction. He simply moved out of Bakugou's way, letting him pass. Some students looked at the blonde and were commenting on that attack where a villain, with a body full of slime, used Bakugou as a hostage and who was also using his power.

Izuku had already commented on Bakugou to the Turtles. Since they knew the boy is a Quirkless, they asked him if he had a friend. That's when he commented on Bakugou. The only things the greenie said to them was that he stopped being friends with him because of his status and about him picking on the boy every time. There were other things besides that, but Izuku decided not to tell him because he knew if he did; the brothers would be angrier as they already were. And what they said to Izuku was...

(Flashbacks)

Leonardo: "These kind of people shouldn't even be called friends. If I were you, Izuku, I wouldn't even want this guy's friendship anymore."

Raphael: "Izuku, if this guy stopped being your friend because of something you don't have or maybe other reasons, then it's already clear that this guy sucks!"

Michelangelo: "I can be nice to everyone, but when someone isn't nice to me, I just walk away from them. You should do the same, Izuku."

Donatello: "One thing's for sure: if he's like that with you, then this guy doesn't care about you. If I were you, I'd do anything but not wanted this guy's friendship or respect him."

(End of Flashbacks)

Izuku kept looking at the Bakugou who was walking while thinking about what the brothers had said to him. A part of Izuku didn't want to do that, but the other part said to do what the turtles said. But another thing is certain, he shouldn't be afraid of him anymore.

Izuku: 'Are they right? Does Kacchan don't care about my friendship?'

Izuku remained still as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes to calm his nerves.

Izuku: 'Come on, Izuku. You spent all this time training your body and practicing with four ninja turtles. Time to show you've changed! If I want to be a hero, then I have to face what's to come.'

Izuku thought of all the moments he spent with the Turtles. Whether that night chasing that truck, or when he trained with them at their hideout, and whether they were talking to the boy about their lives. Izuku stayed calm and remained still with his eyes closed and a straight face, before hearing a chuckle.

???: "Hihihi..." - That laugh seemed to come from a girl

Izuku opened his eyes and saw that a girl was trying to contain her laughter as he looked towards the greenish one. Her most notable features are her brown eyes, her short brown hair, two pink circles on either side of her cheeks, and the pads on the tips of each finger. Her name is Ochako Uraraka.

Izuku: "Ah... what are you laughing at?"

Ochako: "It's just that you're on the side of this statue and you had such a serious face that... hehehe... I couldn't resist, I'm sorry!" - She said while pointing to Izuku's side and trying to contain her laughter.

Izuku was confused, until he looked at her side and saw that he stopped at the side of one of the statues that had a rather funny appearance, as she had a very serious expression. Izuku understood why the girl was laughing. After all, he had a straight face as he kept his eyes on the side of the statue.

Izuku: "A-ah, I see! Hehehe, I-I d-didn't notice that here." - He said while rubbing his head.

Ochako: "Again, I'm sorry I laughed." - She said as he finished laughing, but he had a smile on his face.

Izuku: "N-No, it's f-fine." - Izuku has never talked to a girl in his life. After all, no one wanted to talk to a Quirkless like him.

Izuku noticed his stutter and the way he was talking. He was getting nervous around that girl.

Izuku: 'Come on, Izuku! A girl is interacting with you! Remember what Mikey said...'

(Flashback)

During his training with Mikey, Izuku noticed how the turtle spoke without stuttering and without getting nervous. Once when they took a break, Izuku was drying himself because of the water balloons Mikey threw at him, until the boy saw the turtle talking to someone in some kind of holographic device that also served to make calls. Mikey was talking to a girl named Renet.

Izuku gave space to let them talk alone, but what little he saw and heard, he could see how the two talked. He could see very well how those two were close friends and close. Maybe they are more than just friends, but Izuku didn't want to think about that. That's Mikey's personal life and he doesn't want to meddle in anything.

However, another detail he saw was how Mikey talked without stuttering, without shaking and without getting nervous while talking to that girl. Izuku has never interacted with a single girl in his life, and if he tried, he would stutter and get on the shy side of him. He wanted to change that. He knows that your shyness might not be good for him. So, he needed help and he already knew who to ask.

After Mikey finished talking to Renet, he returned to where Izuku was to continue training. Seeing that he was coming for him, Izuku decided to act.

Izuku: "Mikey. Can I ask you something?"

Michelangelo: "Sure. What is it, man?"

Izuku: "How do you manage to talk without getting nervous and without stuttering? Even more talking to... a-a g-girl?"

Mikey understood the reason for the question and blushed. He looked around to see if his brothers were keeping an eye out, but luckily for him, they were busy with other things. Mikey pulled Izuku into his room and looked at the boy with narrowed eyes.

Michelangelo: "What did you hear?"

Izuku: "N-N-Nothing much! I just heard how you were talking to that girl and I let you two talk in peace. I swear!"

Michelangelo: "Ahhh... so why did you ask me that question?"

Izuku: "It's just... I'll tell you the real thing, Mikey. I've never talked to a girl in my entire life. I've never tried because I'm shy and also no one wanted to talk to me because of my status. Even if I tried, I would stutter or get nervous. I don't know what to do about it, so I wanted to ask for your advice or your help to solve this problem of mine. If it's not too much trouble, of course."

Mikey looked at Izuku with a look that he couldn't believe what he heard. In Turtle's view, it looked like Izuku was begging for help and that Mikey was his only salvation. Michelangelo at this point saw himself as a possible hero for the boy and that he was willing to help even more. Michelangelo put his arm behind Izuku's neck and said.

Michelangelo: "No need to say more, Izuku. I, Michelangelo, will help you to interact better and help you to reach out to girls." - Said in a very dramatic way, which made Izuku strange

Izuku: "But that's not what I was..." - Izuku was silenced by Mikey who put his finger in the boy's face

Michelangelo: "Don't say anything. I already know what you need and I will help you! First: If you are going to talk to a girl and if your shy and nervous way is going to get to you, do this. Forget your nervousness, breathe slowly and calmly and speak. Follow these steps and you will see the magic happen."

(End of Flashback)

Remembering Mikey's advice, Izuku breathed slowly and calmly, so he could talk to the girl in front of him.

Izuku: "I w-would have laughed too if I saw someone standing next to these statues. So I don't blame you for laughing. It's just that I was a little nervous and I stopped for a little while to breathe calmly. You know, to calm my nervousness. ." - He said while smiling shyly and putting his hand behind his head.

Ochako: "Oh, yes. I understand you. I confess that I'm also a little nervous. After all, we're facing the UA to take an exam so we can get into it."

Izuku: "Yeah, but I feel like... our efforts will pay off. I feel like we can do it."

Ochako: "Hehe, that's it! Positive thinking first. Ah, how rude of me. My name is Ochako Uraraka."

Izuku: 'Is she telling me her name? OH MY GOD! SHE'S INTRODUCING TO ME!' - On the outside Izuku was calm, but on the inside he was very happy to see that Mikey's advice is giving positive results

Izuku: "M-M-My name i-is Izuku Midoriya." - He said while smiling.

Ochako: "Izuku? I thought your name was Deku."

Izuku: "D-Deku?" - Izuku was wide-eyed at what he heard

Ochako: "It's just that I heard that boy who yelled at you, calling you Deku. So I thought that was your name."

Izuku: "Oh, so it's not. That... guy who said that to me, he uses that name "Deku" as an insult. That name means useless, weak and helpless." - He said while looking at the door where Bakugou passed

Ochako: "Oh no, I'm sorry! I didn't know! I thought it was your name because Deku reminds me of the word "Dekiru" which means: "You can do it!". That's why I thought this. Again, I'm sorry." - Said while making a small reference to Izuku, as a sign of forgiveness

Izuku was surprised at what he heard. For the first time, a person did not call him by that name to insult the boy and even saw that name as another. Izuku was happy about that.

Izuku: "It's okay. If you want... you can even call me... D-Dekiru." - Izuku said smiling a little, but her cheeks were flushed.

(Author: I know there are a lot of people who hate the name "Deku". So I thought, why not use the name Dekiru? Hope you liked this little change.)

Ochako: "Really?" - Izuku nodded - "Right, Dekiru-kun! Ah, we better go in and take the exam. I wish you good luck, Dekiru-kun." - she said while smiling.

Izuku: "Thank you. I wish you the same, Uraraka." - Izuku returned the smile as the two walked together to the building.

Izuku: 'Thank you so much, Mikey!' - Izuku was bursting with joy inside to see that he managed to have a conversation with a girl.

During the written part of the exam, most had difficulties, but Izuku not so much. Due to his intelligence, studies and even spending time with Donnie, he finished the test faster than anyone else. After all the students finished the test, they all went to an auditorium. Unfortunately, Izuku ended up sitting next to Bakugou. The two didn't say a word until the lights started to come up and a man appeared on stage in front of them.

He is a tall, thin man with long blond hair, which he wears spiked up in a large tuft behind his head, and a small brown moustache. He has rectangular eyes with concentric pupils and greenish-yellow irises, and is almost always seen with a big smile on his face and has never been drawn with nostrils.

His hero costume consists of a black jacket with a very high collar, finished off and complete with studs, and matching black pants and high boots. He wears shoulder pads and a red belt and elbow pads, all with studs, and black fingerless gloves. His neck is always obscured by a directional speaker that he uses with his Quirk. He always wears a pair of headphones with the word "HAGE" written on the headband and a pair of orange sunglasses.

His name is Hizashi Yamada, but he is better known as Present Mic.

Present Mic: "Hello UA candidates! Welcome everyone to the school DJ show! Come on, say Yey!"

Even with the Mic's scream, everyone was silent. Izuku, on the other hand, was smiling when he saw the Present Mic. But he knew that the one who would be happier would be Michelangelo, who has already said that he is a fan of the Present Mic. And the reasons are already obvious.

Present Mic: "Wow, what a tough audience. Alright, let's get straight to the point. I'll give you a quick rundown of what the hands-on test will be like. Are you all ready?!" - and again no onesaid anything, well, except one person

Izuku: "Oh man, if Mikey were here; he'd freak out. It's good that the teachers here are professional heroes." - Izuku got into that fanboy side of him when he saw the Present Mic

Bakugou: "Shut up."

Present Mic: "Right! According to the rules, you will have 10 minutes of simulated urban battles. After this presentation, you all go to specific battle centers."

Izuku and Bakugou looked at their ID cards. Izuku will be in Battle Center B, Bakugou will be in A.

Bakugou: "Is that right? That means we can't work as a team."

Izuku: "Hm..." - Izuku looked at his card and then took a quick look at Bakugou's, but he saw it.

Bakugou: "If you keep looking at my card, you'll die. You're lucky, because I wanted to finish you right now."

Izuku didn't say anything and didn't even show any reaction, he just kept a neutral face while looking at Bakugou. Gradually he saw that what the Turtles said made sense. Bakugou only cares about himself.

Present Mic: "In each of these battle centers, there are three types of fake villains, and each of them has points based on their difficulty level. You just need to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing these fake villains in battles. But I warn you: no attacking other candidates or doing any anti-heroic action. This is totally prohibited."

???: "Excuse me, but can I ask you a question?" - One of the students stood up with his hand raised.

Present Mic: "Fine. You can ask." - He said while pointing his finger at the student, causing a spotlight to rise above him.

He is a relatively tall and muscular young man with a broad frame. He has short dark blue hair, neatly combed down and parted on the right side of his head, a small shaved patch near the base of his head, and rather square eyes that match the remarkably pointed shape of his jaw. He has a serious expression, and his eyebrows appear to be permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long, the ends curved inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. This young man is called Tenya Iida.

Tenya: "On this sheet here, it says that there are four types of villains. If this is a mistake, then the most reputable school in Japan should be ashamed of it. We are students who came here at UA, to become exemplary heroes. And you, with the unkempt green hair." - He pointed to Izuku, who was surprised to be called - "I heard you muttering all the time, if you're not taking this seriously, I recommend you leave. You shouldn't be here."

Something inside Izuku snapped. He felt uncomfortable with what Iida said. During all these 10 years, Izuku was always silent when people were saying something about him. But this time, Izuku decided not to be quiet. Before Present Mic could say anything, Izuku spoke first.

Izuku: "Do you think I'm not taking this seriously? Firstly, if I'm bothering you with my mutterings, I apologize to the person sitting two chairs in front of me. I'm sorry if you're a guy who cares about anything. And second, you say I'm not taking this seriously, since you're the one who interrupted the Present Mic before he could finish explaining. Now answer me. Who's not taking this seriously here? Who interrupted the Present Mic's explanation? Me or you?" - He said while looking at Iida, who was silent.

Bakugou was shocked by what he saw and heard. Izuku never responded like that to anyone. He was always silent, but now, he decided to speak for good.

Bakugou: 'Since when can Nerd talk like that?'

Izuku: 'Since when can I talk like that?!' - Yes, even Izuku himself was shocked.

He remembered that during the time he spent with Raphael, he saw the way the turtle talked without fear of talking to his face. Raphael said something to Izuku, which made the greenish man act like this.

(Flashback)

Izuku: "Raph?"

Raphael: "Yes?"

Izuku: "Out of curiosity. How do you react when someone s-says something about you in front of you and in front of everyone?" - He said while putting an ice pack on his right leg, because of Raph's heavy training.

Raphael: "Huh? Ahh, I already got the reason for this question." - He said while smiling and putting his right arm behind Izuku's neck - "You want to be someone tough, don't you?"

Izuku: "That's not what I meant."

Raphael: "No, but it's what you want and need. Being kind and polite is good, Izuku. But you can't be silent all the time when someone says something that bothers you right in front of you. if that person said something wrong, speak up too, but don't put yourself down. Don't exaggerate and don't let your anger explode as you speak."

Izuku: "But isn't that what you do with Mikey?"

Raphael: "Do as I say, not as I do." - He said while smiling and ruffling the greenish hair.

(End of Flashback)

Izuku: 'Damn, Raphael. What did you do to me?! I don't know whether to be grateful or worried...'

Present Mic: "Alright, alright, calm down now. Candidate #7111, what that kid just said is true. Next time, wait for me to finish explaining before I interrupt. That robot you mentioned is the pointer zero. That is, he is worth zero points. The zero pointer is an obstacle you must avoid, and he is in every battle center. You can defeat him, but you won't gain anything by doing so."

Tenya: "Thanks for explaining and sorry for interrupting." - He said as he sat back down.

Present Mic: "So that's all! But first, let's go to our school's motto. As Napoleon Bonaparte once said: "A true hero is one who overcomes life's difficulties." So go beyond, Plus Ultra! "

Izuku took the paper from him and looked at it with a serious look, before smiling excitedly.

(30 minutes later)

Izuku and the other candidates were already at their battle centers. The boy is there in his sweater as he shivers, but not from fear. In fact, Izuku doesn't know why he's shaking like that. But he didn't want to think about it. It was time to show how those months of training had a positive result.

Izuku took a deep breath and let it out very slowly and calmly. He looked around and saw that many of the candidates were calm, except for one. He saw that Ochako looked very nervous.

Izuku: 'Uraraka? She seems to be very nervous. Come on, Izuku. Help her! She was nice to you. Be nice to her too.' - He thought before going to her.

Izuku was walking towards the girl when he felt someone grab her shoulder. He looked back and saw that it was Iida who grabbed him.

Tenya: "That girl looks like she's concentrating. What do you think you're doing? You will mess her up? Want to destroy her chances?"

Izuku grew tired of these foregone conclusions from Iida. Then he took his hand off her shoulder and said.

Izuku: "Look, I have a question for you. If you saw a child crying in the middle of the street because he lost his parents, would you walk up to him and ask him to shut up because his crying is annoying?"

Tenya: "I..." - Iida didn't know what to say. He understood the reason for the question, but didn't know what to answer because he noticed that he made a rash decision with Izuku for the second time.

Izuku: "Don't get me wrong. I don't think you're a bad person. Telling other people to do the right thing might be a good thing, but not the way you're doing it. Don't make rash decisions without thinking first."

Izuku: 'Oh boy! What got into me?! I never spoke like that! Did the Turtles' advice make me look like this?'

Izuku's words made Iida think well. He noticed that Izuku is right, as much as it pained him to admit it. Before he could say anything else, the Present Mic yelled.

Present Mic: "Alright, let's get started!"

Everyone looked up and saw the hero looking at them.

Present Mic: "What are you doing standing there?! In real life there's no countdown! Come on, listeners!"

Izuku and the other candidates started running towards the battle center.

Izuku: 'Come on, Izuku! You have the strength of All Might with you and you have received training from four mutant turtles ninjas. According to All Might, the One For All will work in maybe two or three hours, and my body is already more than adequate. But how do I know I'll be using his Quirk? How will I activate? What are the side effects?'

Izuku kept running until a robot from one point broke through a wall and stood in front of him. Soon, pointer one saw Izuku and ran towards him. Izuku was scared, but soon he remembered what Donnie said.

(Flashback)

During training with Donnie, Izuku falls to the ground as the turtle hits him in the belly with its staff. Wanting to take a break, Donatello reached out to the boy, who accepted his help.

Donatello: "Izuku, you have to stop hesitating and holding yourself back like this. Because if you keep this up, the enemy will beat you and you're will died."

Izuku: "Sorry, Donnie. The thing is... I'm sure... afraid."

Donatello: "From what? To fight someone with a weapon or just to fight someone?"

Izuku: "Maybe both."

Donatello: "Damm. Izuku, you shouldn't be too afraid of something like that. I've faced scary things, I've faced enemies bigger than me, I've even faced some without having my weapon. I faced many enemies alone."

Izuku: "I don't really know what to say about it. One minute I'm without fear, then it comes back and makes me freeze and shake. Donnie, have you ever been like that while you were scared?"

Donatello: "Sometimes. But I let it have that when Master Splinter said that: "Fear is a common thing that will always be with you. He can be a defensive tool, but if you let him mess with you, you'll never know what to do." It's normal to be afraid, Izuku. But you need to face it and don't let it limit you. Imagine if you were fighting someone who wants to kill you, and he sees you're letting your fear hold you back, do you think he'll have sympathy for you?" - He said as he walked away from Izuku, who was reflecting on Donnie's words. - "Think about your future. Think about your victory. Breathe and attack." - He said as he turned around and pointed his Bo staff towards Izuku with a determined expression.

(End of Flashback)

Izuku, who had his eyes closed, took a deep breath and felt something on his right arm. He opens his eyes, and runs in the direction of pointer one. The robot attacks him, but he dodges it and punches him in the head, causing it to break and consequently causing the robot to short-circuit and break.

Izuku looked at his right arm and saw red lines around it. He already figured out what that was. One For All is taking effect.

Izuku: "That's it... that's it! Thank you, Don!" - Izuku was happy to see that he was able to use the power, without feeling any pain.

[Insert Music: Black Betty - Big City Rock]

But he didn't have time to celebrate for two reasons. Time is ticking and another robot appears next to him. Pointer two. Izuku looks at him with a straight face and advances towards him.

The robot attacks it with one of its legs, but Izuku got right below the robot and punched it using All Might's Quirk, causing pointer two to go flying before falling to the ground and being destroyed.

Seeing that he can now use the power, Izuku runs hard to find other robots. He sees that other candidates were destroying other robots. Like the Ochako that made four robots float, until he put his fingers together, causing them to fall and be destroyed. Izuku was impressed by his power as it is the first time he has seen her using it.

Ochako: "With that... I already got about 28 points." - She said while she was panting before running.

Izuku: 'She already got 28?! Wow, she is good. But why am I still standing?!'

Izuku ran in another direction and saw that a three-point robot was heading towards one of the candidates, who appeared to be French. He's Yuga Aoyama, and he was busy shooting his laser at another robot. When he realized that pointer three was already heading towards him, it was too late, but he saw Izuku above the robot before hitting him with his hands together, causing the robot to be destroyed.

Izuku looks in Aoyama's direction and asks:

Izuku: "Are you okay?"

Yuga: "Of course. Thank you for your help, mon ami. We make a good pair." - He said while striking a dramatic pose, which Izuku found very strange.

Izuku: "Okay... then, good luck!" - He said before running in search of another robot.

He kept running until he stopped when he saw three robots. One was a two-point and the other two were a three-point and a one-point. Izuku runs towards the two-point robot, grabs its leg and rips it off. He uses it to pierce pointer two, before throwing it towards pointer one, causing it to be destroyed. As for what was left, Izuku jumped up and yelled

Izuku: "Booyakasha!"

He punched pointer three's body, causing him to be obviously destroyed. Izuku walks away from the wreckage of the machine and sees that he has 12 points, which is something. Izuku starts running to find more robots before time runs out.

[End of Song (End: 01:35)]

[Monitoring room]

In a monitoring room, the UA teachers were there. They were watching the students taking the practical exam and analyzing each one of them.

Nezu: "Clearly they have no idea how many villains are present or where they are located, they have a limited time and must cover the area and hunt down to the last target." - Said Nezu while he, the rest of the teachers and the judges watched the exam scroll on a screen.

Nezu: "Some use intelligence gathering skills to plan strategies." - Said Nezu while looking at the image of a boy with tentacles standing on top of a building. Known as Mezo Shoji.

Nezu: "While others rely on your speed to stay ahead of others." - He said looking at the image of Iida as he ran and skidded on the ground.

Nezu: "Of course, keep your cool under pressure." - He said while looking at the image of Aoyama, who was shooting with his laser while looking at the camera.

Nezu: "Beyond pure power and combat skill." - Said when the image of Bakugou while he was panting and smiling like a maniac. He wanted Izuku to be there so that he could show the greenish all his power, in order to humiliate him.

Nezu: "The most successful students use a combination of all these tactics. They are the ones who can get the highest scores on this test." - Said Nezu while looking at the images.

Midnight: "I would say this year's group looks pretty promising."

Toshinori: "Well, there's still no way to really know. The real test starts now." - He opened a box that contained a red button and pressed it.

Back at Izuku, he was panting and behind him was a destroyed three pointer.

Izuku: "25 points. I better get more before time runs out."

Before Izuku could run to go after other spots, the fictional city he was in began to shake as dust appeared in the air. The students were in shock as something large headed towards them, as windows cracked as it passed the buildings.

Izuku looked around to see what the cause of the tremor and crash was, and when he looked up, he saw a robot the size of a titan, staring at them as it crushed a building on top of them. Izuku remembers what Present Mic said before the exam started.

Izuku: 'Are you kidding that this is the pointer zero! Didn't they exaggerate?!' - He thought while shivering a little

Zero pointer punched the ground, causing dust to rise in the air and obstruct the students' vision. Each of them had to shield their eyes from the wind dust caused by the force of the punch. Izuku opened his eyes after the wind subsided. In the dust, he saw the two candidates running away from the robot, including Iida, who saw Izuku standing there, looking at the robot.

Toshinori: "This is where things are going to get more interesting. A person's true character is revealed when danger is in front of him."

Present Mic: "Less than two minutes to go!"

Izuku woke up from his trance upon hearing Mic's scream.

Izuku: "Less than two minutes?! I better go out and look for some more robots..." - Izuku started to run away from the zero pointer

Until... he heard a groan of pain. Izuku stopped running, and on his back, he looked back.

He saw Ochako trapped in the middle of rubble and the worst... no one was helping.

Izuku: "Uraraka..."

[Insert Music: Justified - Dead Rising 1 Soundtrack]

Izuku started to shake more. Not out of fear, but out of anger. She was there in need of help, and no one wanted to help.

Izuku: 'How can they do this? Why isn't anyone helping her?' - He thought angrily as he looked with his eyes at those who were running away for a bit before looking at the zero pointer angrily.

Izuku remembered the gentle way she had treated him, and started running at high speed towards her to save the girl.

Toshinori: "There is no merit in defeating a fake villain..."

Izuku starts inserting One For All into his legs, causing him to do a super jump.

Toshinori: "But this is a perfect opportunity to shine!"

When Izuku jumped, Ochako and the teachers in the monitoring room saw the boy do it.

[Scroll forward to: 02:47]

Look to my left and you'll what I've tried

Look to my right to see the crimes

Look throught my past and you'll see all The lies I've lied

And why I'm justified

Izuku clenched his right fist and inserted One For All into it, only it was more than it should have, but he didn't care. His emotions spoke louder than he did.

Look to my left and you'll what I've tried

Look to my right to see the crimes

Look throught my past and you'll see all the lies i've lied

Izuku remembers All Might's words as he felt the energy in his fist.

And why I'm justified

Izuku: "Swallow that... SMASH!" - Izuku shouted before punching the zero pointer's face hard, causing him to be totally destroyed. Which resulted in an explosion in his face as his body was pushed back with the force of the punch and started to fall as the explosions started.

Look in my eyes

Ochako and the other candidates were shocked by Izuku's display of power, with most gaping.

You'll see my life of crime

Toshinori: "That's right." - with a proud smile - "Show them who you are. Show them what it means to be a hero! Nothing is nobler than self-sacrifice!"

Look in my past and you'll see all the lies, all the lies, all the lies

Izuku had a shocked expression on his face as his hand and arm were quite sore as he had exceeded the limit of how much power he could handle.

Are Justified.

[end of song]

Izuku: 'I acted without thinking... like that time I saved Kacchan. But now... it's quite different.' - Izuku thought while looking at the fallen robot

Present Mic: "Just a minute left!" - Present Mic's warning made Izuku come out of his shock and realized where he was when he started to fall.

Izuku despaired, because he didn't think about how to land. His legs would hold up to land on the floor, but it's going to hurt. Izuku spun his body around and braced himself for the impact. It was then that he landed on the ground which caused some dust to appear, causing small cracks. His legs were ok, but the pain was unbearable.

Izuku: "Oh damn! It's like that movie said, that's really hard on the knees. Oh God..." - He said before looking at his broken arm - "So this is the side effect when I go over my limits , huh? Good to know..." - the pain was unbearable for Izuku, but thanks to his body and his training with the Turtles, he was resisting

Izuku looked around and saw Ochako, who still had her leg in the rubble, but was looking at the greenish man with a shocked face. Izuku approached her and used his left arm to clear the rubble from her, throwing it away.

Izuku: "Are you okay, Uraraka?"

Ochako: "I-I-I'm fine. Thanks for saving me."

Izuku: "Good. Can you get up?"

Ochako tries to get up, but almost falls to the ground as her foot was twisted for obvious reasons. She just didn't fall because Izuku used his left arm to prevent the girl from falling. But he groaned in pain, for she accidentally touched his right arm, and only now did she notice the state of the arm.

Ochako: "Oh my gosh! You need to go to a nurse!"

Izuku: "No. Not yet. I still need to get some points to..."

Present Mic: "Time's up!" - Izuku was interrupted by Mic's scream

Izuku: "What...? No... no..." - Izuku got a little crestfallen, as he thinks he didn't have enough points to pass.

Ochako: "Dekiru-kun, are you okay?" - Ochako saw the greenish man's reaction and was even more worried.

Izuku: "Of course... I'm fine, yes." - Izuku gave the girl a smile. - "Come on, I'll help you get to the nurse." - Said when making the girl put her right arm behind the greenish's neck, while he holds her torso with his left arm.

The girl blushed as she looked at the greenish one. She was amazed to see what he's done and what he's doing now. He's in worse pain than hers and he's missed getting more points just to save her. Ochako didn't know what to say.

The two continued walking until the two ran into the other candidates, who were still in shock from what they saw. Izuku, a very simple looking boy, destroyed a huge robot like that with one punch. Izuku didn't mind the looks he was getting, even more so that he was a little upset and even annoyed that they hadn't helped the girl. But on the other hand, he was happy to have helped, even though he was in a lot of pain right now.

Tenya: 'He sacrificed himself to save that girl, even though he knew it was very dangerous and that the zero pointer wouldn't give any points. He must have known there was little time left. How many more points did he need to pass? He put his life at risk. But... even so, he didn't hesitate to go and jump.' - He thought as he clasped his hands together - 'If this wasn't for the exam... then of course I would do the same thing. Wait! The exam... the judges! They saw it!' - He started to think about it when the candidates heard someone approaching. They turned to see Recovery Girl walking towards them.

Recovery Girl: "Don't worry anymore. I'm already here. Anyone who is injured, please come to me."

Seeing her, Izuku recognized her and walked towards her holding Ochako.

Izuku: "Recovery Girl, please help her." - He said as he put Ochako on the floor with delicacy

Recovery Girl: "Sure, leave it to me. But first, let me help you." - She said looking at the boy's right arm.

Izuku: "No need, I just broke my arm. I can take it."

Recovery Girl: "Still, you can't keep your arm like that. It won't do you any good. Come on, sit on the floor."

Izuku obeys and sits down. So Recovery examined the boy's entire arm before kissing his head, making his healing Quirk do its job. The pain was slowly fading, but Izuku was feeling tired and ended up inconsistent.

Ochako: "What happened to him?"

Recovery Girl: "It's okay. He'll just need to rest. The pain was so bad that at some point or another he would give in, so I spared him more suffering before it got worse."

Recovery Girl watched as Ochako looked at Izuku. The girl was worried about the greenish. She is very grateful that he saved his life, but she was saddened to think that he wouldn't end up getting into UA because he didn't have enough points. Ochako saw Izuku as her hero.

Recovery Girl: "Alright, young lady. I'll help you now. Anyone who needs help the most, come over here."

Tenya: 'I wonder... what if the exam had other factors that I didn't take into account... is it possible that he...?' - The boy thought as he looked at Izuku with wide eyes.

[A week later]

We are at the Midoriyas' house and it was already dark. Izuku was in his room, and he was on a call with the Turtles.

Izuku: "You mean they haven't found anything from the Foot Clan yet?"

Donatello: "Nothing. Since that night, we've been looking all over town for anything from them, but we haven't found anything. It's like they've given up or planned something."

Leonardo: "Especially with the heroes being on alert after that chase."

Izuku: "I understand... but I believe that at some point or another, we'll find them and finish them off. If you need my help, I'll help you guys. Even if I'm in the UA."

Michelangelo: "Speaking of which, man. Has the letter arrived from the UA yet? To see if it got through?"

Izuku was a little silent. He feared he hadn't passed, even getting a few points. A part of him feared he wouldn't make it, but the other part said he would.

Michelangelo: "Izuku?"

Izuku: "Huh? Ah, it hasn't arrived yet..."

Raphael: "Dude, relax. 25 points might be enough to pass. Just think positive."

Michelangelo: "It's weird that you say that. Usually I'm the one who talks about it."

Raphael: "Come on, I can also be nice and encourage people."

Michelangelo: "Liar..." - he said while trying to contain his laughter.

Raphael: "What did you say?!"

Michelangelo: "Nothing!"

Leonardo: "Guys, we're losing focus here. Look, Izuku, we believe you made it through. Even if you didn't make it, you did a noble thing today. You showed what to be a hero."

Izuku: "Thanks, Leo." - Izuku was happy for Leonardo's words before he heard his mother knocking on his door.

Inko: "Izuku! Izuku! The letter has arrived!" - He said while knocking on the door of his son's room.

Izuku: "I'll have to hang up, guys. I'll call you later."

Izuku hung up the call and walked to the door of his four, and upon opening it, he found his mother gasping as she held a letter from UA that had the exam results. The boy calmly takes the letter, looks at his mother and tells her that he needed to see the results himself.

Inside the room, Izuku was at his desk looking at the letter before picking it up and tearing it apart. When opening, a metal disk falls on the table and a hologram comes out.

All Might: "I'm here in projection form!" - Said All Might in his hero form in the hologram, which made Izuku scared.

Izuku: "All Might?! But that letter is from UA! Isn't it?" - Izuku questioned while watching the hologram.

All Might: "I know it's been a while, but I had a lot of paperwork to take care of, so that's why I couldn't get in touch. For that, I apologize!" - Said while bowing - "To be honest, I came to this city because I received an invitation to work at UA."

Izuku: "What's it like? Is he working at UA?!"

All Might: "Now let's get straight to the point. In the written test, you passed with flying colors. In the practical test, you got 25 points. Which is enough to pass."

All Might's words made Izuku very relieved. That dread of his is gone. He was glad he made it through.

[Insert soundtrack: Laptop Breaks/ Home Movies - Mark Mothersbaugh]

All Might: "But that's not all." - All Might's comment made Izuku look carefully - "What many didn't know is that there were other factors in the exam."

Izuku: "Other factors? What do you mean?"

All Might: "Before you look at your results, check out this short video." - He said while turning on a screen and a video starts, with Uraraka appearing.

Ochako: "Excuse me. I'd like a second of yours."

Izuku: "Uraraka?"

All Might: "This girl came personally to negotiate after the race. Want to know more? Let's keep watching!" - All Might pressed play and the video on the screen continued.

Ochako: "You know that boy called Izuku Midoriya? The one with messy green hair and freckles."

Izuku: 'She's talking about me... but why?'

Ochako: "Would it be possible to give him some points I made?"

Izuku's eyes widened at what he heard.

Ochako: "I heard him say he needed a few more points to get through. So I was wondering if I could offer him some more of the points I got. He didn't get any more points because of me. So why? please let me reciprocate! Please!"

Izuku was speechless. He began to remember Bakugou's words saying that Izuku will never be a hero. From Death Arms scolding him. And among other horrible words he'd heard about him.

But he also remembered the kind words he'd received from his brothers, from Splinter, from All Might, his mother, his father, and now...her. Izuku was thrilled to see that his reckless action was therefore heroic; made one person willing to help the boy.

All Might: "In addition to Quirk, his actions spur others to act." - All Might turned to the camera and continued - "The exam wasn't just scoring the result against villains."

All Might continued the video.

Present Mic: "Relax little listener. He earned enough points to pass, and even if he didn't, you wouldn't need to give him points." - He said as he patted the girl on the head.

All Might: "We've all seen what you've done, Young Man. Not only have you helped that young lady, but you've also helped other candidates while you're chasing your points! How would a hero's course reject people who save others and do the right thing? After all, this is what a hero does! You received points other than combat points. You received... rescue points! These points are awarded by a panel of judges. It's one of the skills we cherish here at UA."

All Might shows Izuku's results and he is in shock.

N1 - Izuku Midoriya. Villain Points: 25/ Rescue Points: 150

Izuku couldn't believe what he was seeing. He placed first in the exam because of rescue points. And he won by his actions.

All Might: "You two passed. So come on, Young Midoriya. Welcome to your Hero Academy!"

[End of Soundtrack]

Izuku didn't show any reaction other than joy, and his tears didn't stop falling.

[Insert Music: Little Wonders - Rob Thomas]

Izuku stands up with tears still streaming down his face. He was never this happy in his life. He looked at a picture frame where he and his father had been when he was little, and he smiled even more as he remembered those moments. Izuku was managing to follow his dream and he was feeling it.

Izuku leaves his room as his mother is walking down the hall, but she stops when she sees her son. He looked at her and gave her the biggest, brightest smile, and says he did it. Inko was happy for him and gave her son a huge hug as she got emotional about him. Soon she walks away and says that they should celebrate, but before that, Izuku said that he would change clothes, and in fact, he would need to send a message to his brothers.

At the Turtles' hideout, they were worried about the results of Izuku's exam. Until they hear a call coming on Leonardo's T-Phone. It was Izuku who was calling, and he was obviously listening. Leo talks to the boy on the T-Phone, until he turns to his brothers and says he made it. Obviously, they were happy and cheered as if they had won the lottery, which made Izuku laugh on the other end of the line.

Splinter watched as his children were cheering and cheering. This display of joy proves that his children and the son of his late friend see each other as brothers. He looked at his old picture that he has with Hisashi, and smiles to look at it and to think that Hisashi would be happy for that.

Back to Izuku. He wiped the tears from his face and took a deep breath. His path to becoming a hero would begin now, and he felt ready for whatever came. He glanced at his window and smiled as he looked up at the starry sky.
