It was night time at Musutafu, Japan, the city awake with lights and people returning from work. In the city's cemetery, we see a figure looking at a pair of graves. The figure was tall, standing at 5'9 feet, his hair was raven black in color, it was spiky and unruly with two bangs framing the sides of his face with his eyes closed. He was wearing a cerulean blue fully zipped up jacket, with his hands in their pockets. He also wore dark blue pants with black shoes. This was Jinsoku Hayai, a teenager at the age of 15.

Hayai opened his eyes, revealing their mesmerizing blue color that would remind people of the oceans. He then looked at the gravestones reading, 'Here lays Jinsoku Yaiba and Jinsoku Yua, proud heroes and protectors of the innocent.' A lone tear fell came from his eyes, as he began to speak, "It's been a while, tou –san, kaa-chan. I'm fifteen now, five years since you guys disappeared. I used to hope you guys were still out there, fighting to come back to me." He smiled a bit as he continued, "That was two years ago, I realized you guys might have finally reached your time in this world. So I decided to become a hero to honor you guys."

Hayai then gave a small laugh before he continued, "I know, I know, I always said I didn't want to be a hero. After all, that career took away uncle Arashi-Ojisan when he was saving people from that burning building. My entrance exam for UA is tomorrow, I studied hard so don't worry about me failing the written exam. I am all set for the practical exam, your notes on your quirks were really helpful, it also helped that you guys already had theories on my quirk, it's like you already planned for me to get Tetranicus, really. I should get going now, I need to the sleep for the exams tomorrow, until next time tou-san, kaa-chan."

After saying that, he turned away walking out of the cemetery. On his way home he couldn't help but notice how beautiful his home town was. The city was alive with lights and the nightlife. The atmosphere was relaxing, no traffic and with the cold breeze of the night, Hayai felt in peace. In that peace, he was able to reflect on his progress.

He was confident in his abilities, his hand to hand combat was quick and unpredictable and was even more deadly when activating his quirk. His quirk, a combination of his mother and father's own, having no name to explain what it does, it was codenamed Tetranicus. The name itself had no meaning actually, Hayai's father, Jinsoku Yaiba just thought it sounded cool.

The Tetranicus had three levels, the level Hayai was in was based on his eyes. When activating the quirk, the pupil in the eyes shift then morphs into a diamond, the number of diamonds determined the level he was in and the abilities they provide. In level one, there is one diamond standing vertical in the middle, in this level Hayai activates the part of his quirk from his father. An enhanced nervous system with a substantial speed boost. The second level had two diamonds forming an X like shape, activating his mother's Ferrokenesis. With the first level's enhanced mental capabilities, Hayai can manipulate metals like second nature. The third level was his favorite, the shape is a combination of the two previous levels, with one diamond in the middle and the two diamonds forming the same X like shape. This level gave Hayai, a clearer perception and the ability to predict movement, this ability acts like an instinct giving his brain a lot of information in a matter of millisecond. Though it still has a side effect of the diamonds spinning every time he successfully predicted movements.

His thoughts were cut off when he realized he finally reached his home. Opening the gate and walking to the door to the two-story house he lived in. The house was your typical modern home with a kitchen and living room on the first floor and the living quarters at the second. Once he entered he removed his shoes, leaving them at the entrance. Hayai proceeded to climb the stairs and change into his sleepwear, a white sleeveless shirt, and black shorts, after checking his things for a final time before going to sleep.

Next Day

Hayai was next seen at the entrance at U.A. High School, the premiere hero school in Japan. The school was famous for producing top heroes like the famous All Might, who was an alumnus in the school. He was still wearing the same attire as yesterday at the cemetery, the only difference being black fingerless gloves on his hands. While walking inside, he noticed a green-haired boy having an awe-struck face as he too took in the sight of the big school. Just as he was to walk, he then saw the boy was about to fall, just as he was about to save the boy, he suddenly stopped when a brown-haired girl poked him. They then proceeded to talk when the girl started explaining her quirk, he noticed the face on the boy as he gave out an amused grin. 'He's a shy one, looks like he doesn't get that much attention from girls but those eyes have that fire in them' Hayai thought, he knew when he saw potential, though the boy didn't look much those he noticed how his eyes had the fire and determination to become a hero. He then turned around and continued his journey into the academy.

After finishing the written portion of the entrance exam, Hayai and his fellow examinees proceeded to the auditorium where the explanation for the practical exam was to be held. The room was dark, with the minimum of light inside for examinees to go to their seats. Then suddenly, the noise of lights opening was heard in the stage, where Hayai noticed the hero Present Mic was in. "For all examinee listeners tuning in, welcome to my show today! Everybody say 'hey'!" Present mic shouted enthusiastically, only to be met with silence. "What a defined response!" Present Mic said, "Now I'll quickly present to you the rundown on the practical exam!"

He then proceeded to give the aftermentioned rundown on the practical exam. A ten minute mock battle in an urban environment, in seven different battle centers, labeled from letters A to G. Hayai picking up his card noticed his battle center being letter B, before listening again to Present Mic, ignoring his enthusiastic 'okay!'. "Three different types of faux villains are stationed in every battle center. You earn points for each of them based on their difficulty." Present mic said, Hayai hearing after hearing this had a slight frown on his face when he saw the images of the faux villains on the screen behind the pro hero. 'If those silhouettes are anything to come by, then we will be fighting robots. I can simply use level two and crush those robots, at least I don't have to waste too muc-' "May I ask a question?!". Hayai's thoughts were cut off when he heard the loud voice, turning to it he saw someone looking similar to the pro hero Ingenium.

"On the printout, there are four types of villains. If that is a misprint, then UA, the most prominent school in Japan, should be ashamed of that foolish mistake" The what he assumed as an Iida said. He then proceeded to talk about how they as examinees are there for them to be molded into exemplary heroes, before pointing to the green-haired boy he saw at the entrance and scolding him for his mumbling. 'That guy really needs to know how to chill' Hayai thought, before listening to Present Mic's explanation on the fourth type of villain. A giant zero-point villain, with one present in every battle center, serving as an obstacle."Not impossible to defeat but no reason to defeat it."Present Mic said, "I recommend that you listeners try to avoid it."

He then finished the explanation after presenting the school's motto, "The once hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said: ' A true hero is someone who overcomes life's misfortunes.' Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!."

After riding a bus, Hayai and his fellow examinees in Battle Center B. He made his way to the gate, at the front of the crowd waiting for the countdown to start with arms crossed. 'I'll do this quickly, and observe that green-haired boy.' Hayai thought while watching the Iida scolding the boy again for trying to talk to the brown-haired girl that helped him at the entrance. "OKAY START!" Present Mic shouted, to which Hayai raised an eyebrow. "What wrong? There are no countdowns for real fights!" Present Mic continued. Hearing this, Hayai immediately activated the third level of Tetranicus and vanished in a blur shocking those around him with his incredible speed.

He immediately found a group of several robots, identifying his targets he raised his right-hand clenching it into a fist. What followed next was the sound of metal bending and being destroyed, crushing the robots from inside creating balls of metal. His eyes drifted to the right, the three diamonds spinning signifying movement being predicted. Quickly processing the information, he dodged the tail of a two-point robot, forming a hand gesture, his index, middle finger and thumb pointing upwards and the rest down. The tail then turned around, hitting the robot right in its center, destroying it. Turning around he saw another group of enemies, he made the recently destroyed robot float in the air before making it crash into the group. 'That's forty points, quite convenient they were in groups.' Hayai thought as he destroyed another faux villain. He proceeded to run from the area, looking for more villains to destroy. 'Though if I had my weapons with me I could've gotten sixty points by now.' He thought before his eyes caught movement to the left, a villain about to attack a ginger-haired girl from behind. Thinking quickly he made clenched his right hand into a fist, the robot then stopped and slowly turned into a ball, Hayai then thrust his fist forward making the villain move back and hit the ones behind it. The girl turning around after hearing the sound saw the destroyed villains before looking at Hayai, smiling at him and said, "Hey thanks for the assist!". Instead of replying, Hayai just nodded as he turned back and climbed one of the building nearby.'I have fifty-five points now, time to find that green-haired guy.' He thought as he ran across the battle center.

"Well this batch is quite interesting." A voice said in a dark room full of chairs and a screen in front displaying the examinees in the practical exam. They were the teachers of U.A. observing the aspiring heroes' performances. "Yes, they do show some promise" Another voice agreed, "Well we can't know for sure yet." another voice argued, "Their true test is still to come.". Pushing a button, producing an electronic sound.

The ground was shaking, as the examinees in the battle center stopped what they were doing, looking at where they assumed the cause of it. They then saw a giant robot, rising from the ground, they then remembered Present Mic's explanation earlier. 'An obstacle that will go crazy in narrow spaces, I recommend that you listeners try to avoid it.' The robot proceeded to raise its fist and smash the ground, shaking it once more and creating a storm of dust, blinding those near it. They then panicked and ran away as fast as they can away from the giant villain. "Two minutes left!" Present Mic shouted.

While this was going on below, Hayai was observing at the top of the nearby building. He was far from the danger, but still close enough to see and observe the green-haired boy. He then noticed a mop of brown at the rubble of the impact sight, his eyes widened as he saw the brown-haired girl at the entrance struggling to get up. 'Kuso, they just abandoned the girl!' he thought frantically, just as he was about to rush in and save her, Hayai saw the boy jump up and rise from the smoke and dust. His right hand was clenched as his entire arm started to glow, and his clothing ripping off, energy seemed to gather in it. He cocked his fist back and proceeded to punch the giant zero-point robot with a yell of "SMASH!". The robot's head had a giant dent and started to fall backward. As it fell, explosions all over its body happened. Hayai eyes widened in shock but only for a moment before a smile adorned his face. 'That guy, I sense great things to come for him.' shaking his head, he then vanished in a blur heading to the location to check if they were okay.

When he arrived he saw the boy getting slapped by the girl he saved, before floating like gravitation didn't exist. The girl then looked sick before puking, as the boy fell to the ground, a lot softer than he was before. The boy then began to crawl to the girl before collapsing, Hayai rushed to his side checking his body. His right arm was broken and was burnt. He was about to lift him up before hearing an elderly voice call out, "Okay, good work.". Turning to the source, he saw an old lady he recognized as the pro hero Recovery Girl. Understanding that he was not needed, Hayai stood up and gave way for the elderly pro hero. Recovery Girl then kissed the boy, he then glowed green as all of his wounds were completely healed.

One week later

Hayai was seen entering his house, holding an envelope with the symbol of U.A. High School. Removing his shoes he then moved to the living room, placing the envelope on the coffee table. He first went to the kitchen to get some tea, pouring a cup for himself. Sitting on the couch, drinking some of the tea before putting in on the coffee table. He opened the envelope and read its contents. He smiled, he passed the exam with fifty-five villain points and twenty rescue points and was placed in Class 1-A in the Hero course. Placing the envelope again on the table he finished his tea, heading to his room to sleep. There was one thought in his mind before he went to sleep.

'My journey has just begun.'
