Here we are everyone, time for the U.A entrance exam.
Chapter 8
"Wow! U.A sure knows how to set up their entrance exams." Ochako commented as she stared at a giant wall.
"Yeah..." Izuku agreed, nodding his head. After the examines entered U.A, they were giving a debriefing by a pro-hero known as President Mic about what to expect in the practical part of the exam.
The practical is basically destroying four different types of robots, each one having a different value of points except one, which has a point value of zero. The examines are taken by bus to different examination sites and luckily, Izuku and Ochako are going to the same examination site.
"It's a surprise that U.A has the funds to make these sites." Ochako said as she tilt her head up, seeing the top of buildings on the other side.
"Well, U.A is stated to have the toughest hero course in the country, only one in three hundred applicants being able to be accepted into the school. So, it makes sense to have the toughest entrance exam to be made." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to turn her head to look at the dark green hair boy.
"Can you please not make things sound daunting. I'm nervous already as it is." The gravity Quirk user said, causing Izuku to chuckle slightly.
"Sorry." Izuku said before glancing around.
"Is there something wrong, Izuku?" Ochako asked, becoming worried for her friend.
"It's nothing important, but...For some reason whilst in the debriefing with President Mike, I gained a strange feeling." Izuku replied, causing Ochaco to tilt her head to the side.
"Strange feeling? It must be all that nervous energy bubbling inside you." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to frown slightly.
"Maybe...But it feels like I recognize someone in the crowd." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to blink her eyes.
"...You must have good eye-sight then, there were millions in that room. Either that or you decided to use your Quirk to increase your eye-sight." Ochako said, causing Izuku to smile slightly.
"Yeah, maybe I have." Izuku said before the two of them started to laugh.
"So, what sort of plan do you have in mind to tackle the exam?" Ochaco asked once the two of them stopped laughing.
"Well...I was thinking that we should...do the exam separately." Izuku replied, causing Ochako to gain a dejected look on her face.
"P-please don't get the wrong idea! I was thinking that in the hero's line of work, they usually team up with heroes from other agencies or act along, so I thought that this is a good opportunity to work independently." Izuku explained quickly, realizing that he hurt Ochako's feelings.
The gravity Quirk user blink a few times before gaining a thinking face.
"that does makes sense. We need to get use to different situations." Ochako summarized, causing Izuku to nod his head.
It was then that a thought entered Izuku's head.
"By the way/Hey! You two!" A voice called, interrupting Izuku, causing the both of them to turn their heads to see a male with short black hair and wearing glasses approaching them.
"Er...Is there something wrong?" Ochaco asked as the black hair male stopped in front of them.
"I think it would be beneficial to everyone if you two remained silent, they are trying to concentrate." The black hair male explained before focusing his attention onto Izuku.
"And you. You were mumbling back at the debriefing, you were distracting everyone." The black hair male said, causing Izuku to sweat-drop slightly.
"Nobody complained though..." Izuku thought in his head.
"And...Begin!" A voice suddenly called, causing everyone at all training sites to become confuse.
"What are you waiting for?! The test has started! You don't have a countdown in a real-life situation, do you?!" President Mike explained on top of a tower-like structure, using the aid of his Quirk.
"And by the way, two people in exam site B are already going in!" President Mike called causing the examines at the said site to become confuse and look towards the now open doors to see two people going into the constructed city...well, one pulling the other by the arm.
"You k-knew that this w-would happen?!" Ochako asked, surprise at Izuku's sudden action.
"Yes. This practical exam is just a life-time crisis. No warnings." Izuku explained as he started to shift into his dragonish form.
"Makes sense. Let do our best, Izuku!" Ochako called as she gained her own speed.
The other examines finally got their senses back and rushed into in the exam site and started to fight the robots that started to appear.
"twenty-seven points, not bad." Izuku thought as he smash a two point robot to pieces.
"I wonder how Ochako is doing? President Mix didn't say anything about how many robots are assigned to each exam site. That could be troublesome-!" Izuku thought before sensing something to his left.
The dark green hair boy whipped around to see a robot directly in front of him.
"Target locked! Prepare for Termination!" The robot said as it focused its attention on Izuku.
"A one pointer, quick yet fragile." Izuku thought as he prepared to attack the robot.
However, someone smashed the robot to pieces before Izuku could move.
"...Huh?" Izuku said before focusing his attention onto the new comer. The person who destroyed the robot has spiky red hair and his arm seemed to be rock-like.
"Sorry for stealing your point." The red hair person said with a smile on his face. Izuku frowned slightly before shrugging his shoulders.
"It's okay. It was a one pointer anyway." Izuku replied smiling slightly. However, it was then that he notice the red hair male frowning slightly.
"...Is there something wrong...?" Izuku asked, becoming nervous.
"Have I seen you somewhere-!" The red hair male began to say but stop as more robots started to appear around the two. The two boys went back to back as they eye the surrounding robots.
"Good. This will reduce the time to track them." Izuku thought before looking at his hands.
"Why can't I activate One For All yet? Surely the hair should be digested and broken down by now." Izuku thought, frowning slightly, clenching and unclenching his hands.
"No time for talking. We got an exam to do." Izuku said as he got into a fighting stance, causing the red hair male to nod his head.
"Right, we have limited time after all." The red hair male said as he got into a fighting stance as well.
"Heh! It seems that my training with Izuku and Mr Yagi has paid off. I don't feel queasy yet." Ochako thought as she pressed her finger tips together, causing the robots that were hanging in the air to be sent crashing back down.
"Twenty-eight points I believe." Ochako thought, adding the points in her head.
"I wonder how Izuku is doing? He must have at least the same amount of points as me." Ochako thought, thinking how the two of them where the first into the exam site.
"That's a cool Quirk you have there!" A voice called, causing Ochako to turn her head to see a girl with orange hair, green eyes and…giant hands!
"...Is that your Quirk?" Ochako asked, staring at the hands.
"Yep. Useful when flattening these robots." The orange hair girl replied as she smash a robot with one of her hands.
"Yeah...agreed." Ochako said in a slow tone of voice.
"Oh, yeah. The names Itsuke Kendo by the way." The now named Itsuki introduce herself with a smile on her face.
"My name is Ochako Uraraka, nice to meet you." Ochako said, smiling as well.
"I saw you running off with that boy earlier. You two looked eager to start." Itsuki said, causing Ochako to shuffle slightly.
"Well...It was more like Izuku pulling me along..." Ochako muttered, however, Itsuki heard her.
"...Ah." Itsuki said before hearing something approaching from behind.
The orange hair girl turned around and crush a robot with one of her giant hands in one fluid movement.
"...What would happen if that was an actual person?" Ochako asked, slightly shock.
"I still knock them out." Itsuki replied, causing Ochako to sweat-drop.
"Uraraka! Behind!" Itsuki exclaimed, causing the gravity Quirk user to turn her head to see a three-pointer robot coming towards her.
With sheer luck, Ochako managed to touch one of the robot's arms without getting hit. Itsuki watch as the robot float in the air.
"Release." Ochaco said as she touch her finger tips together, causing the robot to be sent crashing down.
"Nicely done...But was it necessarily to say "Release"?" Itsuki asked, causing Ochako to laugh sheepishly.
"Sorry, force of habit I guess." Ochako replied, scratching the back of her head.
However, it was then that a rumbling can be heard, causing confusion to spread across the examines.
"What's causing the rumbling?" The spiky red head male asked as he glance at Izuku who was frowning slightly.
"...!" After a few minutes of being silent, Izuku's eyes widen.
"Hey. Have you notice something whilst doing the exam, especially the robots?" Izuku asked, causing a confuse look to appear on the spiky red hair male.
"What do you...!" The red hair began to say but stop as he suddenly realize the same thing.
It was then that a crashing sound to be heard, causing both teens to turn their heads to see a massive robot.
"The zero pointer. We haven't seen that until now." Izuku stated as the other examines started to run away from the massive zero-pointer.
"Come on, we better get away. There's no point fighting it." The spiky red hair male said, causing Izuku to nod his head just as the same black hair male with glasses that scolded Izuku and Ochako run pass.
However, Izuku only run a few paces before hearing someone. Izuku stop dead and turned his head. his eyes widened when he saw Ochako trap under some rumble. Itsuki is next to her, trying to remove the rumble.
"Hey! What are you stopping?" The spiky red hair asked as he notice that Izuku has stopped running.
Izuku watch as the massive robot focused its attention onto Ochako and Itsuki.
"...I can't run away." Izuku muttered before suddenly charging towards the massive robot. The spiky red hair male's eyes widen as he watch Izuku heading straight towards the massive robot along with the black hair male.
"Come on One For All! Lend me your strength!" The dark green hair male roared in his head as he subconsciously deactivate Darwin Theory.
He started to feel a huge amount of power surging through his legs, causing him to jump very high.
Both Ochako and Itsuki became shock as they saw Izuku flying straight towards the massive robot's face.
"This is it!" Izuku thought as he clench is fist, feeling the same power running through his arm.
"Evolution...SMASH!" Izuku shouted as he punch the robot's face.
The robot look like that it been hit by a meteorite with the power of One For All.
"W...what on earth?!" The spiky red hair male exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as he and everyone else watch the massive zero-pointer fall.
Back with Izuku, the dark green hair boy began to realize what happened.
"...AAAAA!" Izuku screamed as he started to plummet onto the ground.
"How did I jump so high!? Is this All Might's Quirk!" Izuku exclaimed in his head before starting to feel a sharp pain going through his body. Izuku turned his head to see his slightly damaged arm and legs.
"This what All Might meant by the backlashes. I may be the vessel for One For All, but my body isn't use to the raw power yet." Izuku thought as he glance towards the ground.
"What should I do!? What should I do!?" Izuku thought furiously as he rush towards the ground.
"I still have my other arm. If I timed it right, the impact could stop me from dying." Izuku thought as he prepared to punch the ground.
However, a hand suddenly slap Izuku on the cheek and he found himself gently floating towards the ground.
A confused Izuku turned his head to see Ochako floating on a piece of a robot.
"R-release." Ochaco said weakly before pressing her finger tips together, causing Izuku to gently touch the ground whilst the piece of robot that the gravity Quirk user is on crashed onto the ground.
However, Izuku still felt the pain running throughout his body.
"O-O-Ochako...thanks for the save..." Izuku said weakly as he lift his head up just in time to see Ochako vomiting.
This caused the Izuku to weakly chuckle.
"And that Time's up!" President Mic exclaimed, causing all the examines to become tense.
"Finally...It's over..." Izuku managed to say before dropping his head and loosing consciousness.
"Man. What sort of Quirk does he have?" The spiky red hair male asked as he and the other examines started to murmur.
"He risked his life to protect those two girls. Sure I would do the same if this wasn't an exam…!" The black hair teen thought before realizing something.
"Wait a minute, if this exam is supposed to be set as an invasion, does it mean that destroying these robots wasn't the only way to gain points?" The black hair male thought questioningly.
However, it was then that something clicked in the black hair male's head.
"That dragon-like form of his…Hero X?" The glass wearing boy thought in his head as he started to remember reading on the social sites about the mysterious "hero" that appeared ten months ago.
"...That girl is the same one as the new alongside Hero X." The black hair male thought as his eyes drifted to Ochako who still had a hand over her mouth and Itsuki standing next to her, patting her back.
"Yes. Well done everyone." A voice sudden spoke, causing all the gathered examines to turn their heads to see an elderly woman wearing nurse clothes walking towards them.
"...Who are you?" The spiky hair male asked confusedly as the elderly women walked past him.
"I'm the youthful heroine: Recovery Girl. I'm practically the back bone of U.A, allowing the school to hold these sorts of exams." The now named Recovery Girl explained with a smile on her face.
"Youthful?" The spiky red hair male thought whilst sweat-dropping as Recover Girl focused her attention onto Izuku.
"My, my. This is the result of your Quirk, being able to hurt your own body like this..." Recovery Girl said before...kissing Izuku on the head.
"Huh!?" Ochako said with a shock expression on her face, whilst also trying not to throw up again.
"That's Recovery Girl's Quirk, Super Healing." Itsuki explained, finding Ochako's expression funny.
However, Ochako started to think of something.
"There's no way that Izuku's Quirk could give him that power. Evolution is based on creatures surviving a newly introduce environment to them. Not granting them a power boost." Ochako thought before starting to frown.
"Does this has got anything to do with Mr Yagi by any chance...?" Ochako thought again, thinking about Izuku's (and hers to an extent) training instructor.
However, before Ochako think of anything else, another surge of sickness went over her.
"Izuku...are you okay...You seem more quite than usual for the past week...?" Rin asked, looking at the dark green hair boy with unsure look.
It's been a week since the exam and the examines haven't heard a word from the school yet.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry, I guess all this waiting gets me on edge." Izuku replied sheepishly before taking a bite out of his fish.
"I know what you mean. I felt the same when I was waiting for my results." Rin explained, smiling at the memory. Izuku smiled slightly before gaining a frown on his face.
"What will happen if I don't get in to U.A? All the training for the last ten months has been for nothing. I haven't heard from All Might as well." Izuku thought as Rin started to clean away the meal.
"I wonder how Ochako is doing? She hasn't received her results yet and she seemed jumpy on the phone." Izuku thought just as the door-bell rang.
"Maybe I should call her, it would probably calm my/IZUKU!" Rin suddenly exclaimed, interrupting the dark green hair boy and making him jump.
"W-what!? What's wrong, Aunt?" Izuku asked, becoming tense.
"It's here!" Rin exclaimed, holding a letter.
Izuku's eyes widen when his eyes landed on the U.A emblem.
"I think it's best if see the result by yourself first." Rin explained as she shove the letter into Izuku's hands before pushing him into his room.
"..." Izuku didn't say anything as he stared at his closed bedroom door.

"...Okay." Izuku finally said before walking over to his desk and sat down. The dark green hair boy stared at the letter for a few minutes before opening the letter where upon a small disk fall out of it and landed on the desk.
"Huh?" Izuku said confusedly before it lit up and a screen formed in the air.
"...THIS IS A PROJECTION!" All Might's face suddenly appeared on the screen, shocking Izuku.
"All Might?! But I thought this was from U.A?" Izuku thought as he looked down at the emblem on the envelop.
"I'm sure your wondering why I'm telling you the results for the exam. It's simple, I'm starting to teach at U.A." All Might explained, answering Izuku's thoughts.
"All Might...is going to be teaching at U.A?" Izuku thought in a stunned tone of voice.
"Izuku Zwen/That was amazing performance back there!" A voice suddenly interrupt All Might and President Mike suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Er...President Mic/That Smash you did at the exam was great! Like how you add your own spin on it! Evolution Sma-" President Mic explained before suddenly getting pulled off by white bandages of some sorts.
Izuku sweat-drop at this.
"Now, where was I...Ah yes. You did well in the written portion of the exam and you did equally well in the practical part of the test as well. But..." All Might began to say, causing Izuku to gulp slightly and became nervous.
"Even though President Mic explained that the way to receive points is to destroy the robots, however, rescue points is also a factor in the practical." All Might explained, causing Izuku's eyes to widen.
A screen next to All Might lit up, showing a footage of Izuku destroying the massive zero-pointer robot.
"A Hero's job is to project the citizens, if you reject all those who need saving…then you are no hero at all. This is another way to for U.A to evaluate you." All Might explained, causing Izuku to start shaking slightly.
"You, Izuku Zwen, have receive sixty rescue points and whilst we're at it, young Ochako Uraraka also receives rescue points, forty-five in fact. Your in..." All Might began to say, causing Izuku to start tearing up.
"Come on now, Young Zwen. This is your hero Academia." All Might announced starting to smile. At this point Izuku has started to cry with happiness.
"Mr Yagi!" Izuku called as he spotted a skinny, blond hair male on the beach. The true form of All Might turned around and started to grin.
"Zwen! Glad to see you!" Toshinori greeted but started to cough blood.
"Gah!" Izuku exclaimed, becoming shock at the blood.
"Don't worry about me. Well done on passing the exam." Toshinori said as he wipes the blood of his face.
"Yes, thank you. it was a surprise to hear that you starting to teach at U.A." Izuku said, causing Toshinori to chuckle slightly.
"I bet it was. It will cause an uproar when the entire nation starts to hear about it though." Toshinori said, scratching the back of his head.
"Makes sense, since you're the number one hero, starting to teach will cause a massive reaction, it might even cause villains to start attacking the school." Izuku muttered, causing Toshinori to sigh slightly.
"Let's worry about villains attacking the school another time. I couldn't tell anyone until the school makes it public knowledge. With my limit time as a hero, I thought I would put it to great use and pass on my knowledge to the future generation of heroes." Toshinori explained, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"By the way, great scream when you first use of One For All." Toshinori said, starting to grin.
Izuku smiled slightly.
"I don't know why I shouted "Evolution Smash", it just came into my head." Izuku explained, causing Toshinori to shrug his shoulders.
"It doesn't matter, but it did mess you up, though." Toshinori said, causing Izuku to nod his head with a slight sad expression on his face.
"Yes. It was because I was put together in a hurry. If I had more time to then I could have avoided the damage." Izuku explained, looking down and clenching his hand.
"You have three entire years to fully master One For All along with Darwin Theory. You have plenty of time." Toshinori explained, causing Izuku to nod his head. it was then that a thought entered the dark green hair boy's head.
"For the last week...ever since eating your piece of hair, my body seemed to gain a strange feeling." Izuku said, causing to appear Toshinori to blink a few times.
"Do you mean your body could tell that another Quirk is entering the body?" Toshinori asked, causing Izuku to frown slightly.
"I thought of that at first, but...I don't think it's got nothing to do with One For All at all. It more like...my body is reacting to the DNA from the hair." Izuku replied, causing Toshinori to gain a surprise look on his face.
"That's...new. I didn't felt anything like that when I receive One For All from my mentor..." Toshinori admitted with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"But then again, it could because you consumed a piece of hair that contains the DNA of eight people." Toshinori explained, causing Izuku to gain a slightly confuse look on face.
"Apart from me and you, there have been seven other wielders of One For All, you're the ninth wielder whilst I was the eighth." Toshinori explained, causing Izuku to gain a surprise look on his face.
"Wow. One For All must have manifested sometime during the first era of Quirks." Izuku said, gaining an interested expression on his face.
"Listen Zwen, for now you must gauge One For All so that your body is happy with amount of power that is going through it. The more you temper your vessel, the more easier it will be to control the power." Toshinori explained as he picked up two cans that are littered on the ground and crushed them with the power of his One For All.
"Like the passing of the Olympic torch, the new flames will be weak, but with the passing of time, those flames will become bigger." All Might explained, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"Hey! Is that All Might over there!?" A voice shouted from distance away, causing both Izuku and All Might to freeze.

"Quick! Leg it!" All Might said before running, quickly being followed by Izuku.
"Why are there people on the beach?" Izuku asked as he glance behind his shoulder to see two people at the pier.
"Thanks to your and young Uraraka's hard training, the people enjoy this beach again." All Might replied with a smile on his face.
"R-right!" Izuku said, starting to gain a smile on his face.
And there we have it. I hope you enjoy seeing Eijiro Kirishima early (He replace Yuga Aoyama for the exam part) and a cameo appearance of Isuka Kendo. By the way, the side effects One For All on Izuku's body will be different from cannon. I won't tell you now, but it will be revealed in a later chapter. Hope you find it mysterious about the talk between Izuku and Toshinori about the DNA. Please comment and until next time.
bhennen: I'm already planning on introducing a character early, but I may introduce Eri as well. If not, it will be because it will be too much work for me. Sorry. By the way, Principal Nezu was toyed with humans, so the Principal will know what it feels like to be experimented on.
Reverseflash: Tomura and the other villains will find out about Izuku.
Titanwestside: No offense taken. The name "Izumi" was just the first thing that came in my mind really.
Classy J0K3R/Silver 566: The public naming Izuku "Hero X" is because they know absolutely nothing about him.
son of Ophion: What do you mean by limbs? Are you taking about a tail? Yes, Izuku will gain wings.
