Izumi was quiet as she walked into the Mustafu detention centre. Tomorrow would be her first day at U.A. and in her excitement, she of course wanted to share the news with her friends.

Which included Rei, and all her energy had been sapped from her as that thought had gone through her head. Because the greenette made a mistake…. In the midst of her training she forgot to visit…

She quietly asked for the imprisoned girl at the reception desk and got told to go to the usual spot. She picked at a loose bit of her skin as she walked in, taking her seat.

Guards bustled about the place as prisoners were brought out and finally, after what felt like an eternity to the shapeshifter, a familiar head of black hair came out. Rei looked up, sad frown on her face then she realized who had walked in, and her eyes lit up.

Sitting down, both picked up their phones and Rei looked both relieved and yet concerned. Silence hung between them for a moment as they thought about what to say, before Midoriya finally took a calming breathe and dived into it. "H-hey. How a-are you?"

"Hi… Same as ever. Not much happens here." The girl shrugged, tugging at her orange sleeve. "You?"

"Well um…. Ok, first, before that. I'm sorry!" The greenette blurted out, looking Rei in the eyes. "I forgot to visit and that's just….. it's not ok. Regardless of whatever excuse, I shouldn't have done that to you and I'm sorry I did."

"I…. I mean…. You don't exactly need to visit me at all, so I'm looking to see you anyways." The black haired girl shrugged it off, however her eyes betrayed her real feelings about it. "I won't lie though… I was…. Pretty scared. Scared I wouldn't see you again."

"Oh…." Sighing, the shapeshifter looked down. "I'm sorry I made you worry like that then. I promise… I promise I'll try to visit more constantly from now on, ok?"

"Oh, but… You don't have to-"

"I want to, ok?" Izumi said, with a sad smile. After a moment of contemplation, a smile passes Rei's own face and she smiled back.

"Ok. So… Is there a reason? I mean, considering the time of year and your dream…. I think I might know." Rei laughed and the greenette shook her head amused.

"Yeah well…. I've been doing a lot of intensive training, like super intensive even for me and…. It was all for the entrance exam a few weeks ago." She said, chuckling when she saw the imprisoned girls eyes light up.

"They changed the time they take them at? Wait so then did you go!? Did you pass?!"

"Yeah… You're looking at one of the new members of U.A.'s hero course."

"Oh my god, congratulations! That's huge!" Rei said, though her smile seemed a little forced. "So…. You'll finally be a hero. Patrolling… with no time for-"

"Stop that." Izumi chastised, with a small smile. "I made a mistake ok, but that doesn't mean I will just stop coming to see you all together. I'll visit next week, same day. Ok?"

"Ok…." Rei nodded, rubbing her arm. It wasn't particularly inspiring in confidence but somehow the shapeshifter doubted she would get much more out of her. So the rest of the visit she simply regaled the tale of the exam to the black haired girl.

"1-A, 1-A, 1-A!" Izumi muttered under her breathe as she walked through the halls, taking in each door. She was in no rush, having gotten on one the early trains to get here. 'Aha! There we go- Woah….'

The door was unbelievably huge, and the greenette could only imagine the size of the student who would have made such doors a necessity. Shaking her head, the girl walked inside and to her horror the very first two students she set her eyes on were ones she recognized.

Bakugou's presence wasn't that surprising, though she had been hopeful they would have been in different classes. The blonde however was ignoring a scolding from another familiar student, a tall blue haired teen. 'Oh no…'

"Have you no respect for those who worked to craft these items? Our upper class man once sat here!" The tall teen said, only to be flipped the bird by Bakugou. "THAT IS JUST UNCALLED FOR!"

"I see you're wasting no time with making 'friends', Katsuki." The greenette snarked as she crossed her arms, getting everyone's attention. The blue haired teen seemed to be frozen as he recognized her. "Scold him if you want, but it's just going to be an exercise in futility. If it doesn't come out his own mouth, he won't listen to what's being said."

"Fucker." The blonde replied simply, crossing his arms. The strict teen seemed to want to say something to that but instead changed his mind, walking quickly towards the girl.

"Tenya Iida, from Somei academy. I recognize you from the exam." 'Oh here we go. 'Your attitude was-'' "I must apologize for my behaviour."

Wait, what.

"I take many things quite seriously, especially in regards to discipline and education. It was drilled into us at Somei that it is of the utmost importance however I see now that I may have gone to far in enforcing such discipline." Iida said, bowing. The greenette could only blink in surprise. "By your place here and your scores on the exam, you clearly are a more apt student than I. Forgive me."

"I…. don't know about the apt student part, but hey, as long as you aren't going to snap at me now." The girl shrugged, as the taller teen stood up. "Izumi Midoriya. Nice to meet you."

Iida went to respond but before he got a chance, a new voice spoke up. "Hey, I recognized that pretty hair. Midoriya!"

Turning, she smiled as she came face to face with Uraraka, who had a bright grin on her face. "Oh hey! Good to see you."

"I know! It's so awesome we even got into the same class! I can't wait to meet everyone here. I wonder what their all lik-"

"If you're just here to make friends, then you best pack up and leave." A gruff voice cut in. looking behind the brunette revealed a scruffy black haired man in a sleeping bag. Both Iida and Uraraka shouted in shock while Midoriya sighed. 'Great, I can already tell what type of teacher this is going to be.'

Ushering them into the room, the man sighed frustratedly as he looked over them all as silence finally descended. "It took you all seven seconds before you shut up. That isn't going to work. Rationally students would understand to be quiet immediately."

Izumi gritted her teeth.

"I'm Shota Aizawa. I'm your homeroom teacher." He revealed and Izumi let out a quiet inaudible sigh. The man pulled out a basket from behind his desk, placing it at the front and giving them all a look. "Come on. We're all heading to the field outside once you put these on. Don't take longer than you need to."

"Um… sir?" Izumi spoke up, getting his attention. "Can I speak to you a moment, regarding clothing?"

"What is it?" The man asked, seemingly completely uninterested in the conversation.

"I kind of have to absorb any clothes to use them, but that also means I can't exactly give them back. What do you want me to do?" She asked, and the scruffy teacher just sighed.

"We can replace it easily enough. Just take one."

It didn't take them long to get outside, everyone having been quick to change after Aizawa's instructions, no one wanting to anger the man on the first day. They all stood now, confused on a running track while Aizawa looked out to them all with bored, tired eyes.

"Normally the school would have you doing an introductory course, getting used to the school and such." He began, pulling out an electronic device. "This is a waste of time that can be spent on more important endeavours. Midoriya, you scored highest on the practical exam, come here."

"Yes sir." The girl grumbled as she walked up to him, and took a ball from his hand that he offered.

"Now, go stand at the marking over there and get ready to throw. What was your average in the ball throw in middle school?" Aizawa asked, with a quirked brow.

"37 metres sir."

"Ok. Now do it with your quirk."

She bit her tongue, avoiding making a sarcastic remark that she couldn't because she didn't have a quirk. Instead she took her place and took aim. She considered trying her bio blaster but decided to go with raw strength instead.

She winded her arm back, before throwing her arm forward with an explosion of bio-mass going through her arm, giving it a little boost. It went flying into the sky, until it could no longer be seen.

Turning to her classmates, she saw their eyes wide and jaws dropped, causing her to giggle. After a couple moments, Aizawa lifted the device to show her score.

"1030 metres." He announced lazily, before a more malicious grin came onto his face, causing Izumi's own smile to falter. "Now, we're going to do a series of tests much like this. You've been doing standardized tests all your lives, but you've never gotten to use your quirks."

'I guess that makes sense.'

"The ministry of education is still trying to pretend we're all equal, and not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational."

Izumi balled her fists. Was he right? Maybe. She could still remember when she was just a quirkless kid though, and hearing words like that would never fail to get under her skin.

"It's a way of gauging your potential. Whoever comes last has none, and will be expelled immediately."

"What….."

"You can't do that, that isn't fair!" Uraraka complained, and Izumi tried not to smack her palm into her face. Not a smart thing to say to a teacher like Aizawa.

"Do you suppose life is fair? Do you think people who are trapped under rumble, inches from death with their only hope being a hero coming to recue them think life is fair?" he challenged, brushing his hair out of his face. "No, they don't. They have to rely on pro's who are competent and put together. Who have what it takes to save them. So show me that you can do that, and go beyond, plus ultra style."

Izumi tightened her fist at that, turning away and deciding to just focus on the tests. Keeping her comments to herself may have proven more challenging though.

"Now then, we're just wasting time by talking. Let the games begin."

The first test was simple, the fifty metre dash. Izumi braced herself, ready for the noise that would tell them to begin. She was against Katsuki, as the last two people to go.

"Hey, so what's the green haired chicks power anyways?" A purple ball haired teen questioned quietly, unaware as everyone else she could hear them all. "Her arm pulsed when she threw that ball but I didn't see what it was."

"I have no idea, though I think I recall seeing her shifting her body at some point. Transformation type, maybe."

The fastest time so far had been Iida, at 3.04 seconds. Impressive to be sure, but she could beat that.

"Begin!"

Explosions went off as Bakugou used his quirk to propel him, and the greenette grinned. Some jaws dropped as she was stood inspecting her clothing on the other side as soon as the announcement was over, Bakugou still moving.

The machine announced her time.

"0.57 seconds!" It said in it's weirdly chirpy robotic voice, and the greenette heard a few people muttering in surprise. 'Well, at least I shouldn't be in any trouble.'

After the dash had come grip strength test. People had gone four at the time, as that was how many of the devices were present. Midoriya took a breathe as she daintily lifted hers, doing her best not put any pressure on yet.

To her left, a tall raven haired girl was using some kind of clamp she had created and Iida was simply relying on his natural strength.

To her other side, a large muscular teen with six seemingly connected arms gripped onto his, and the score that flashed up got some people's attention.

"Woah! 560 kilograms? That's insane dude!" A boy with dark hair and unusual rounded elbows said excitedly, inspecting it. He turned, looking over to her after noticing her stare. "What about you, Midoriya right?"

"Oh, right. Oh let's see…" She nodded, looking down. She had no way to gauge a specific output so she decided to just grip as tight as she could. That was a mistake as the numbers went haywire, last reading somewhere in the thousands before the machine exploded in her face. "Crap! Oh no…"

"Well, that's frustrating." Aizawa commented as he walked over. He gave her a light glare, yet there didn't seem to be any real anger in it. "Try not to break school equipment from now on. I'll go get the last recorded score of the chip."

"Y-yes sir."

As she walked away, red faced she heard the purple haired boy from before speak up again. "Remind me to never get a hand job off her!"

Her face got worse, however she was at least thankful when the small statured teen took a sudden hit for his commented from the six armed teen.

The third test was the standing long jump. She was last up to the test, in a pattern she was beginning to notice. She certainly had no worries about this one.

Wasting no time as she walked up to the zone she began to run, until finally she leapt into the air. She cleared the sand pit. She also cleared the entirety of the U.A. building and may have startled a few third years.

Hey, she definitely cleared the sand pit though!

The rest of the tests all ended up in a similar vein, with the greenette performing excellently on each one. She was sure one or two people had been staring at her jealously at times.

She definitely had ended up in something of a pseudo-competition with the tall raven haired girl. She didn't really know how it started, but it had involved the creation of a cannon. After that, the two had just kept trying to do each other with shapeshifting and creation respectively.

"Alright, here's the results." Aizawa announced as they all crowded near him. He pressed a button and a hologram came up, displaying their scores.

18. Kyoka Jirou

4. Katsuki Bakugou

3. Shoto Todoroki

2. Momo Yaoyorouzu

And finally, in first place the greenette grinned proudly as she saw her name.

1. Izumi Midoriya

She did however feel bad for the Hagakure girl, who seemed to be invisible yet even despite that her stress was definitely able to be seen from a mile away. The greenette could only wonder… 'Will he really say invisibility has no potential? These tests would have been bullshit for someone like her…'

"And I lied, no one is going home."

Midoriya blinked, before gritting her teeth. She was happy for Hagakure of course, but she was slowly but surely considering adding their teacher to her list of people to 'Murder, but not really'.

A few students began to converse among themselves, and Iida and Uraraka came over the shapeshifter. "Midoriya, you were amazing!"

"Eh, just had a natural advantage is all." She shrugged, as the class began to follow their teacher back to the school. "I'm sure if we had other different, someone else would have come out on top."

"Still, some of your results are nothing to be trifled with." Iida said, placing a finger to his chin. "Some of the feats you are capable of pulling off already…. I can tell you will make for one versatile hero."

She blushed at that, grinning as she rubbed the back of her head. It wasn't just these two who were talking about her either, just the only ones saying it directly too her.

"Man, that Midoriya girl…. She's insane…." A boy with yellow hair that had a black lightning strike commented. "How do you even get that strong? I couldn't pin down her exact power at all."

"I think it probably has something to do with biological control." A girl with purple hair and earlobes similar to headphone jacks commented. "It's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head anyways."

Izumi grinned, taking a quick look back at her class. It faltered however, when she met Bakugou's eyes, and saw he had a grin of his own. Those red pupils were twinkling with excitement….

She beat him in a test… and he wasn't seething, but smiling.

That… that didn't bode well.
