The sludge villain incident is gonna be right before he enters UA, so it isn't 10 months before entering UA as in Anime, just thought you should know., and the exams are gonna be around a week after the school ends. .Also, Bakugo's gonna be less of a douche this time and he and Midoriya will be friends.

Izuku woke up to a feeling of being slapped repeatedly.

His head jumped up in a rush and hit something hard.

"Owww..." Izuku said as he rubbed his head

"YOUNG MAN! Sorry for getting you caught up in my chase. I must be going now!"

Izuku stared up in admiration as he just realised that he had hit his head on All Might! THE All Might!

"ALL MIGHT! ah... I'm sorry for headbutting you..."

"WORRY NOT! I AM FINE, NOW, I MUST BE GOING!"

"Wait! Can you sign my- HE ALREADY DID IT!?"

"GOODBYE CITIZEN!" All Might said as he leapt up into the air.

Izuku vigorously waved bye to All Might with stars in his eyes as he jumped away. He just met All Might! He couldn't wait to tell Kacchan about it.

Izuku now started excitedly jogging back home to tell his mom about it, and just before he took the UA exam as well! Maybe this is a sign of good luck.

CRASH

"Uhh... Oh! Sorry for bumping into you I was in a hurryimreallysorryletmehelppackup" Izuku mumbled out while he started picking up his books and a file folder that the other person had.

"Umm.. here you go-" Izuku hesitated as he looked at the man, he was very gaunt, and like he had no muscle at all.

"It's fine, thank you for picking up my stuff" The skeleton man smiled

"Well I did crash into you in the first place..."

"Nonsense, it's fine, I should've been more aware as well."

The gaunt man continued to walk forward

He looks like he's heading towards the police station...

Neither of them saw the bottle roll away into an alley.

BOOM!

Izuku snapped towards the sound, he widened his eyes, he saw...the sludge villain? That can't be right, All Might took care of him, didn't he?

He went towards the crowd and pushed his way to the front, he shook away the dust and ashes that were getting in his face and looked at the source of explosions.

Definitely the sludge villain

"That guy has a hostage!"

What? Someone else is being choked right now? Just like he was, and it's been going on for a good two minutes, he had passed out after a minute of that!

"Wasn't All Might chasing him earlier?"

"Really! All Might!"

"Where is he now?"

The sludge villain turned to face the crowd, and for a second , Izuku could see the hostage's eyes.

Kacchan

Izuku burst out running from the crowd

What the hell, Why am I running? Why can't I stop?

"YOU AGAIN?! I'L CRUSH YOU THIS TIME!"

What to do...right! Remember your training and notes!

The sludge villain threw a huge piece of debris at him, Izuku dodged to the side, pushed himself off of it and teleported

Use your momentum and aim for the eyes!

He teleported right up in his face and kicked him in the eye.

"AHH!" The sludge villain screamed out, for a second, he lost his form and Bakugo was able to get a breath in

That still won't do much to get Kacchan out, maybe his explosions would affect him, wait, how can he even make explosions? His sweat should be being absorbed by the sludge villain! That's it!

"Kacchan, your sweat should be being absorbed by the sludge! I'll get your hand free, then aim an explosion at him!"

It's a miracle no fire or an explosion had reached him yet.

Bakugo nodded "YOU REALLY THINK I'LL GO DOWN THAT EASILY!"

The villain wouldn't throw another piece of debris at him, so Izuku would just have to push off of the ground instead.

In an instant, Izuku split apart and appeared right in front of the other eye and kicked it again, Bakugo, having gotten his hand out, turned it backwards and ignited his nitroglycerine.

The sludge villain was split apart in a great explosion, however, it reached further than that, he and Bakugo would be hit.

Crap, I didn't think of this beforehand me and Kacchan are toast!

Luckily, Bakugo did think of that beforehand and blasted towards Izuku and got them out of the way of the explosion.

Luckily, there was not much extra damage from the explosion that he and Bakugo had made in the end. All of the area had pretty much been destroyed already.

They got praised, and were let off of the hook for vigilantism, lucky it didn't go in his or Bakugo's record, Izuku could breathe a sigh of relief for that, they were warned that, if it were to happen again, they wouldn't get off that easily.

The heroes did say that they would be able to be good heroes.

Both of them had to be checked into a hospital though, where Izuku met his mom, who ran up to him with a wad of tissues in one hand, and bawling as she ran.

While she was very worried, she was also proud, saying that she did great, and he would be a great hero.

The doctor said that he and Bakugo should be fine, but they needed to stay for longer to check if they had any minor broken bones or injured muscles.

Izuku had to go to the bathroom, but the hospital he was in was very large and had lots of people. Pretty soon, he was lost in the hospital. Why didn't they just have toilets per room? Well, now that he thought about it, he had seen a couple of open rooms that had bathrooms in them, probably for more important injuries and people.

"Hello, you seem a bit lost young man." A kind looking female said to him. She had white hair and grey eyes, other than that she had no defining qualities about her. She was wearing a hospital-issued gown, a patient then.

"Yeah, well I sorta need to go to the toilet but I have no idea where it is" Izuku chuckled, saying that, he realised how cliche it was but it was the truth!

"I know that sounds cliche ut I actually need to go to thetoiletandtheressomanypeopleandit-"

"Calm down, your speaking way too fast, it's fine, I believe you, let me show you the way to the public toilets." She said as she gestured down the hallway

Izuku breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like she knew the hospital well, she went through all the hallways without hesitation and showed him where the public bathrooms where.

"I-I uh, sorta don't know how to get back so could you..?" he asked a bit hesitantly, he didn't want to bother the lady.

"It's fine!" She said with a smile

Izuku was going to make sure and say something like 'if you don't want to then...' but realised that would probably only annoy her and be pointless.

Izuku nodded and went in.

She was still waiting outside when he got out, thankfully, and she continued to lead the back to his room.

"Which number is your room?"

"Um... Room 67 I think"

"So um, I forgot to ask this, but, what's your name? I'm Midoriya Izuku. "

"Oh! Sorry, I'm Todoroki Rei!"

"Really? As in the No. 2 Endeavour's family?"

He thought he saw what seemed like a multitude of different emotions pass through her eyes before she replied.

"Yes, that Todoroki" Although she seemed a bit less cheerful.

He just nodded, they probably had family problems. With bigger families, such as the Todoroki's, there would probably be more problems and arguments.

Izuku started switching to other topics, Rei didn't seem too fond of heroes, which he found strange, why marry a hero if you don't like them? But she did like gardening, which they had a good conversation about, Rei even compared his hair to a plant.

"It was fun talking with you, I haven't really talked much with anyone in a while and it was nice to talk" She said as he reached his room.

"Yeah, thank you for showing me the way," Izuku said as he bowed

"If you want to talk again, here's my phone number."

Izuku found it a bit odd that she would give it to him, but, he didn't mind, he could think about it later, though she didn't really have anyone else that she talked to, her family wasn't here. If his mom was in the hospital, Izuku would be with her almost the entire time he could, and school had been finished for about an hour now?

Looking at the clock, he realised it'd actually been almost three hours since school let out, and he had to do homework, seriously? Who gives homework on the last week of school, and the second-last day no less!.

The doctor soon checked both him and Bakugo out and Izuku talked about how he met All Might before-hand. Pretty soon, the bid each other farewell and went home, Izuku had to study for UA exams as well, fighting villains wasn't the only thing he had to do.

In the following week, Izuku refined his personal fighting style and studied hard.

After some more testing with his quirk, he found out that, when he turns into lightning and splits apart and the lightning moves towards where he wants to teleport, slows down the speed of teleportation(a skill he thought was useless up until now), you can actually see him moving towards the place where he teleports, and even better, it electrocutes anything that is touched. He isn't sure why this isn't the case when he's going faster, maybe he doesn't actually form into lighting when going faster and just splits apart, to make the teleportation almost instantaneous. The max speed he can go and still do damage, while a very small amount, is just barely visible to the naked eye. Even though it does pretty much no damage, if fighting someone with slower speed, reflexes and no enhanced eyesight, he could keep going back and forth and eventually take down an enemy.

For the UA test, he was as ready as he could ever be.

Looking up at the ginormous UA building, he feels insignificant, puny.

Izuku's looking up in awe when his view of the building suddenly changes when he lurches forward, tripping over a small indent in the lining of the bricks he hadn't noticed.

Well, there goes my face

But his face just stayed there, a good two feet before the pavement.

"Huh?"

"Oh, sorry, I used my quirk on you without permission, but, It would be bad luck to trip and fall before an exam."

Izuku looked up to see a pretty looking girl with a round face and brown hair, Izuku barely registered that he was back on two legs and standing up.

"Oh..um.. well thank you..."

She simply smiled and continued walking, Izuku started as well, walking side-by-side with her.

"So you applying for hero course as well?"

She nodded her head in affirmation "Yep, I'm assuming that you are too?"

"Yeah, standing here in front of the building makes me feel sorta small"

"I'm sure it does everyone, it is pretty big, but that's to be expected from the number 1 hero school in the country."\

"Oh, I almost forgot, I'm Midoriya Izuku," he said, remembering his conversation with Rei.

"I'm Uraraka Ochako"

They both went into the auditorium, it was huge, larger than any he had seen before. On the stage stood Present Mic.

"Omygodit'spresentmic" Izuku blurted out

"Guess you're a fan of him huh"

"Yeah, I listen to his radio show every time it's online!"

"Hmm... I really like the Space Hero: Thirteen"

"Really!? I heard she's rescued over 1,000 people just this month alone!" (Fake Stats, Not Real)

"I guess you're a fanboy huh?"

"I, Uhh well..."

Ochako giggled.

Izuku blushed before turning away, then all the lights turned off. At that moment, he just realised that he didn't gush over her quirk like he would with other people. Wow, the nerves must really be getting to him.

"Hello, Little Listeners! Can I get a HEY!"

Silence...

"Tough crowd huh? Well, I should get on to explaining the exam. Can I get a YEAH!"

More Silence...

"Uhh...Well basically..."

Present Mic explained the exam pretty well, there are robots, each of them has a certain amount of points ranked in order of how hard they are, and you need to destroy as many as possible. The written exam was as follows. There were 5 exams, Maths, Science, English, Japanese, and Heroes History or Regular history, depending on which course you are applying to. You didn't necessarily have to pass the written exam, if you were aiming for Hero or Support course if you got lots of points in the Hero course or made an amazing machine in the support course. Then you will still pass, but the content you will get will be slightly different to the rest of your classmates.

The same could be said Vice-Versa, except, you wouldn't go to the same course. Say you were to do well on the written tests, then you would be placed in general education. Form there, you can go into the hero-course, to get into the support course would be very hard, same for hero course but less hard because of the sports festival. It was very unfair because people in the hero and support course would get extra training and practice, but you would need to match them or beat them without help from teachers. But such was UA.

A blue-haired boy stood up during the middle of the presentation.

"Excuse me, there seems to be an error. On this sheet of paper, there are no less than four enemies written down. Such an error is highly unbecoming of a prestigious school such as UA"

"And you! You've been muttering the entire time, it's distracting if you're not going to take this seriously, then leave!"

Wha-wait, but he hasn't been muttering, if he was surely Uraraka would've pointed it out-

He saw her giggling like a maniac at him, traitor!

He also took the time to appreciate how smart it was of her to realise that this was something that he did normally, and not point it out,which made him think he wasn't muttering, smart.

Oh, right, the blue-haired boy was still waiting for his response

"Um, well, maybe you shouldn't interrupt during the middle of him talking and expect that he's said everything, and I was just formulating a plan. No one else pointed it out, if you can't handle simple muttering, then when you're a pro-hero your gonna make a lot of mistakes when people are filming and chatting, I was just formulating my plan"

"Oh, I suppose you have a point, sorry for interrupting!" As he did a perfect 90-degree bow to both Izuku and Present Mic.

"Anyways, onto explaining that, the fourth villain is a 0 pointer! A simple obstacle with no use. I would recommend to avoid it because...well, there's no point, literally."

The written exams were a walk in the park, Izuku studied a lot, it seemed that Kacchan had as well as Izuku found him in the waiting room before him.

Uraraka seemed to be having some difficulties, and Izuku hoped she would make it, she would be a great candidate to be a hero.

UA had multiple cities for these exams! cities!

Well, that's what happens when you have big budgets.

He and Uraraka were just talking when the gate swung open and a huge alarm rang.

"What are you doing! GO GO! There's no countdown in a real fight! The die is cast!"

As everyone started pouring through the gates, Izuku only had one thought.

Let's go.
