Ryuga was getting ready for his first day at U.A. The dress code was pretty lax so Ryuga had modified his blazers so that he could wear them the same way he wore his jacket. Muku had started to wake up earlier so he could catch Ryuga before he started training. Ryuga started eating breakfast with Muku. "So I'm going to the doctor to find out what my quirk is today." "Good. I'm sure you'll get a good one." After Ryuga had breakfast with Muku he began his walk to U.A. Three hours later he got to class and sat down.

Bakugo was feeling good today. He had made it to U.A. two hours early. He was going to show all those extras that he was the most committed to this school. He walked up to the door and open it and, … SOME DAMN EXTRA WAS ALREADY IN THE ROOM. Bakugo was seething and exploded on the extra that was sleeping on the desk. "Hey you shitty extra wake up." The response he got chilled him to his core. The extra looked up at Bakugo with a glare and he could feel the power radiating off of him. Bakugo suddenly felt like an unprepared peasant facing down a massive dragon. "What do you want?" The extra said with malice dripping from his voice. Bakugo was able to regain his composure and said. "Listen to me. I'm Bakugo Katsuki and I'm going to be the number one hero." "I don't care." The extra said. This flipped a switch in Bakugo's head and he completely forgot all self preservation in favor of trying to salvage his ego.

Ryuga had gotten to the school three hours early and had decided to wait. He laid down on the desk and pretended to go to sleep. An hour later he hears someone else enter the room and hears the person walk up to his desk. "Hey, you shitty extra wake up." Ryuga looked up and gave him a glare while letting out a little bit of his power. "Listen to me. I'm Bakugo Katsuki and I'm going to be the number one hero." Ryuga responded simply. "I don't care." Ryuga watches as all the poorly hidden fear drains away and is replaced with anger. "Fuck you extra. Who the fuck do you think you are?" Ryuga says calmly "The Dragon Emperor, Ryuga." Recognition flashes across his face. "You took my first place spot. I should kill you." Ryuga flared his power a little and watched as Bakugo backed off, "It's not worth getting in trouble over" he said. Then Bakugo walked over to his desk and sat down putting his feet up on his desk. The next two hours pass by in peace. Then three minutes before class starts the blue haired kid from the entrance exam walked in. He saw Bakugo and made a beeline for him. "Take your feet off your desk this 're disrespecting this prestigious academy by scuffing school property." Bakugo responded with "You're kidding me! Did your old school put that stick up your ass or were you born with it?" The kid looked speechless before collecting himself and saying "Let's start over. I'm Tenya Iida from Soumei Junior High School." "Soumei, huh, so you're some sort of elitist? I'm gonna have fun tearing you a new one." "You would threaten me, your own classmate." Iida said "Are you sure you're in the right class?" Ryuga was about to tell them to shut up but another student entered the class and distracted the two. Iida walked up to the newcomer but Ryuga noticed someone new. "Everyone shut up. The teacher is here." Eraserhead, who was in a sleeping bag for some reason, was in the hallway. "It took the rest of you 4 seconds to shut up, that is not acceptable." Eraserhead then got out of his sleeping bag and took out a gym uniform. "I'm Shoto Aizawa, your homeroom teacher. Put these on and meet me outside." Ryuga stands up, takes the uniform, and walks to the changing room. The rest of the class followed after him, scrambling to get there. In the changing room Ryuga had changed into the gym clothes and was putting on his jacket when Iida approached him. "You shouldn't be wearing that. Mr. Aizawa told us to put on the gym uniform. That isn't part of it." Ryuga glared at him and said "Back off." While Iida wanted to argue with Ryuga, an aura of death told him not to.

Bakugo was ecstatic. A quirk apprehension test he would dominate this. Hobo called the extra that beat him in the entrance exam and told him to throw a ball. The extra walks to the circle winds back and throws. At that moment some part of Bakugo knew he could never catch up. Because when that extra threw the ball he heard two cracks as a double sonic boom shattered all the glass nearby. The ball sailed across the sky before disappearing. The hobo held up the screen to show over seven kilometers. Bakugo tried to rationalize what just happened by claiming to himself that super strength alone isn't as versatile as his explosions but he knew that the extra was just too much stronger than him.

Next up was the fifty meter dash. The first to go was Iida and a girl with a frog quirk. Iida quickly pulled ahead getting 3.04 seconds while the girl got 5.58 seconds. Next up was a brown haired girl and a blond boy with a tail. The boy with the tail used it to fling himself forward and got 5.49 seconds while the girl just ran normally and got 7.15 seconds. Next up was the green haired boy from the entrance exam and Bakugo. Bakugo used his explosions to propel himself forward and get 4.13 seconds. The green haired kid ran normally and got 7.02 second, but Ryuga could feel something. It felt as if he was watching the flow of a weak creek that led to a massive lake. Ryuga chose to keep an eye on him. Ryuga and a purple haired girl with what looked like earphone jacks hanging from her ears were up next. Ryuga dashed across the field to get 2.5 seconds and the girl got 7.17 seconds. The next test was grip strength. Ryuga watched the kid but there was no increase in power. As people are gushing over another student with multiple arms getting the score of 540 kg, Ryuga decides to take his turn and effortlessly crushes the grip strength meter. In the standing long jump Ryuga easily cleared the sandbox. Even before L-drago's power was flowing through his veins he could jump over two hundred meters from a standstill, however the green haird kid was still only doing as well as an athletic human. It was starting to frustrate Ryuga. Why wasn't he using his real power? Repeated side steps were by far Ryuga's worst event so far. While he was very strong that didn't translate well to jumping side to side fast. Still he was one of the best in the class. Ryuga had already done the ball throw so he just sat and watched. He was surprised when the brown haired girl managed to get infinity but he was able to figure out that she could manipulate gravity. When Bakugo went he tried his hardest to beat Ryuga's score but couldn't even make it a kilometer. Finally, the last one to go up was the green haired kid. Ryuga knew that this was the kid's last chance. Iida says "If Midoriya doesn't shape up he'll be the one to go home." Midoriya, so that's his name. Bakugo responds "Of course he is, he's a quirkless loser." Iida looked surprised and said "He has a quirk. Didn't you hear about what he did at the entrance exam?" Ryuga came forward and said "He has power." The kid reeled his arm back and … Ryuga was wrong. The creek didn't lead to a lake, it led to a violent ocean. No, not an ocean. Ryuga could feel expanding even now. It was the vast cosmos growing and changing. Ryuga knew he was the only one worthy to be his rival. "46 meters." What? Where did all that power go? There wasn't even a creek left. "I erased your quirk." Ryuga looked at Aizawa. That's right, he said he could do that. "The judges for the exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should have never been admitted to this 're not can't control your power. Were you planning to break your bones again, relying on someone else to save your broken body?" Midoriya tried to explain but Aizawa cut him off "No matter what your intentions are you would be nothing more than a liability in battle. You have the same reckless passion as another hero I know. One who saved a thousand people and became a legend. But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch. I'm sorry but with your power you can't be a hero."

"I'll train him." Ryuga called out.

"What?" Eraserhead questioned Ryuga.

"I was once in his place. In possession of a power that I could not control. So I'll train him."

"I was going to let him have one more throw with his quirk. If he's still standing then I'll consider letting him stay." Eraserhead finalized with a glare.

Midoriya took his place in the circle and prepared to throw. At the last second Ryuga felt the power flare again but it felt more concentrated like it was flow out a hole that was blocking power. The ball flew through the air. "705.3 meters." Ryuga smirks as Midoriya turns back and says, "Mr. Aizawa. I can still stand." Eraserhead smiled widely and said "This kid."

"Deku you bastard! What the hell was that?!" Bakugo screamed as he ran at Midoriya, but he was stopped by Ryuga grabbing his arm and Eraserheads scarf wrapping around him. "What the hell?! Why is your scarf so strong?" Bakugo sneered.

Eraserhead responds "Because it's a capture weapon made of special metal alloy. Now please stop making me use my quirk. It gives me serious dry eye."

Bakugo looks back to Midoriya and sees Ryuga's glare. He wisely decides to back off.

The next test was the distance run. Ryuga easily out paced everyone and ran over two kilometers before Aizawa told him to stop. After that was the seated toe touch. Ryuga struggled a bit with this one. He wasn't super flexible. A pink girl had done the best in this test. The final test was the sit ups, which Ryuga dominated once again. He made it to one thousand before he was asked to stop. "Giving you all your scores individually would be a waste of time so I'll just put them up for you." Ryuga looked at the board and saw his name was in first. He scanned the board looking for Midoriya's name. While he searched the board he saw that Bakugo was 4th place. He continued scanning until he came to the bottom of the list. Izuku Midoriya. He was in last place. That wouldn't do. Ryuga would have put him through the ringer.

As he was reading the list Eraserhead's hologram looked over at him and said, "Oh and I was lying about expelling last place." Ryuga scoffed "No you weren't. You just changed your mind ." Aizawa smiled and admitted that did plan to send last place home if they had no potential. Ryuga and Midoriya were called up. "Ryuga, accompany Midoriya to the nurse. You've taken responsibility for Midoriya's training. I'm expecting results." Ryuga turned and walked away

Midoriya was walking with Ryuga. "What kind of training will this be?" Iida ran up calling "Midoriya! How's the finger?" "It's good. Recovery Girl fixed it up." Iida seemed relieved. "Good. I can't say that I approve of Mr. Aizawa's Teaching methods. Planning to expel one of our classmates; and Ryuga what have you done to your blazer?" "Hey. Wait up." The brown haired girl ran up. "Are you heading to the train station? So am I." Iida looked at her and said "Oh you're infinity girl." "I'm Ochaco Uraraka. Let's see you are Tenya Iida, you're Ryuga, and your Deku right. Deku Midoriya." While Midoriya freaked out Ryuga said "His name is Izuku. Deku is probably an insult that Bakugo made up." "Really I thought it was short for dekiru. Plus it sounds kinda cute." Uraraka said with a smile. "Deku it is then." Uraraka asked, "So what stop do you get off at." Midoriya started "Oh get off at," but Ryuga cut him off. "He's going to walk." "What?" The three asked at once. "It's a part of your training." "But why"

After taking Midoriya home, Ryuga walked back to the orphanage. "Muku, I'm back." When Ryuga didn't immediately hear a response he was confused. Muku was always there to meet him after training, and because he took Midoriya home it took him longer to get back. As Ryuga entered the building he started to hear muffled voices. Entering the main room he saw why. Some older kids were holding Muku while another kid beat him. The younger kids looked uncomfortable but we're still shouting insults and the administrators were just watching. Ryuga was behind the crowd in an instant. "Let him go." All the kids ran away except the kids hitting and holding Muku. The kid that was hitting Muku looked at him then ran at Ryuga screaming. Before he could even throw a punch Ryuga sent him into the wall. The two kids holding a Muku dropped him and ran away. Ryuga began to check Muku's injuries and they weren't pretty. His right eye was swollen shut and his left was already bruised. His lip was spit and his nose looked broken. While Ryuga was checking Muku one of the administrators came over. "Ryuga, this is too far. Attacking a child unprovoked is not acceptable." When the administrator tried to touch Ryuga, he released so much power that the man fainted. Ryuga picked up Muku and walked out of the orphanage.

It was late at night and the Midoriyas were fast asleep. Today had been a long one. The quirk assessment test had taken a lot out of Izuku and the 13 mile walk home was even more tiring. Then there was a knock at the door. Izuku opened the door and on the other side was Ryuga. In his arms was a bloody child. "Please help. I don't know who else to go to."
