*Midoriya's P.O.V*

I woke up way earlier than I was meant to, mom had an early shift at her new job, so I woke up once she left. I showered, changed, and ate a small breakfast... however I saw a note on the table.

'Izuku, I'm heading out for my new job. However since you won't get a hair cut at the very least tie it back, here use this.' The note said, on the counter I saw a scrunchie... that old fad from the past centry... I don't understand why it hasn't came back, scrunchies are waaaaaay more comfortable than hair ties.

I tied back my hair and ate my food, then I headed down to the train station to board my train to U.A. Once I got to my stop I made it to U.A 30 minutes before the first class... I might as well read the guidelines and my schedule.

Homeroom first, then mathematics, modern literature, english, blah blah blah. The only sad part is that I'm not allowed to leave class early... Oh well, maybe these students will be likeable enough so I would actually want to stay. Anyway time for the guidelines.

...

...

Oh heck no.

*SLAM*

"What do you mean I can't have a job?!" I yelled at the bear... mouse... wombat... thing, that is our principal.

"Ahh, Mr. Midoriya... have a seat." The principal said, as I took a seat... man these seats are comfortable. No! I'm supposed to be angry. "So we expect students to be 100% invested in their hero training and school work. A job would act as an unnecessary distraction."

"Unnecessary?!" I exclaimed, "Rent is rising, I need a job so that mom and I could pay for i-"

"Principal Nezu, your co-" A familiar voice... wait a minute.

"Mom?" I asked turning around to see her carrying a cup of coffee.

...

...

"As you can see Izuku Midoriya, I gave your mom a job here so she can pay the rent on her own... a well paying one I might add. So that way you can focus on your studies." He said with a smile.

"... I-I see." I muttered... well this is awkward, "S-Sorry about that."

"It's not a problem. Now run along to class now." He said as the first bell rang... yeah I kinda got lost on the way here.

"Y-Yes sir." I said before walking out of that awkward atmosphere... well today is already going great! Way to go me. Well surely class will make it a little better.

...

...

I should learn to keep my big mouth shut.

"I'm from Somei Private Academy, my name is Tenya Iida." the blue haired kid, Iida said.

"Somei?! A stuck up elitist then? I should blow you to bits." Bakugou said taking to Iida... great, the two people I DIDN'T want in my class. Just ignore them Izuku. 18/20 is still an A.

"Blow me to bits?! How awful! Do you really desire to be a hero?" He asked before turning to me... oh no he's coming this way.

"I'm from Somei Pri-"

"I heard." I said cutting him off... no, calm down Izuku, it was the test, the atmosphere was different, give him a chance. "I'm Izuku Midoriya, pleased to meet you." I said before looking at the class... who was looking at me, "You know it's impolite to stare."

They caught the hint and looked at their desks. "Oh that long hair! Plain looking boy!" The brown haired girl, Uraraka, said.

... I'll ignore that comment.

"You made it in! Like Mic said you would!" She said, "That attack you did on that robot was awesome! You dove into him and blew him up from the inside... like that movie!"

I nodded at her rambling, I didn't know how to respond... I didn't know what movie she was talking about.

"If you're here to socialize then get out." A voice behind Uraraka said... a hobo teacher, I have truely seen it all.

He introduced himself as Shota Aizawa while he unzipped his sleeping bag, he then told us to put on our gym uniforms and head outside. Once we made it outside we were told we were doing a Quirk Assessment Test, it's based on the physical tests we did in Junior High. Softball throw, standing long jump, 50 metre dash, endurance running, grip strength, side to side stepping, upper body test, and long distance running. The only exception is that we get to use our Quirks.

"Now, to demonstrate the one with the highest score in the entrance exam step up." Mr. Aizawa said, as Bakugou stepped up... but Mr. Aizawa shook his head, "I was talking to him." He said pointing at me... dang, I was hoping to not get called out.

"Deku?!" Bakugou asked.

"How can could you throw a softball in Junior High?" Mr. Aizawa asked.

"... 40 metres." I lied.

"Well do it with your Quirk." He said tossing the ball at me.

I gripped the ball and tossed it weakly... Mr. Aizawa showed his phone... 41 metres. "Hey improvement." I cheered... but he glared at me.

"Seems you aren't going to take this seriously... fine then." Mr. Aizawa said, "The person in last place gets expelled from this school. We don't have time for those who won't take this seriously." He said.

I felt everyone glare at me, "Fine..." I huffed as I pulled back and launched the ball with a tenth of my full power, the ball sailed about 500 meters.

"That's better, now then. Let us continue." Mr. Aizawa said.

Soon the other tests went along, and I still only used a fraction of my power, and in turn I earned 8th place and was safe. Then Mr. Aizawa came along and said he was lying about the whole explusion thing, calls it motivation to get us to try harder. His faux smile fell and his not caring attitude I know too much returned. He told us to pick up the syllabus and walked away.

Man... tests are such a pain. But at least they're over now.

Soon the other classes went along, and class was over. Now I have to quit my job because of the rule. I headed to the 7-11 by my house and broke the news to Clair.

"Oh I see, well makes sense considering it's an elite school." Clair said before handing me a stack of yen, "Here, today was payday anyway, the bonus is there too." She said.

"Thanks Clair." I said with a smile. I'm going to miss this place... even if it's kinda boring here.

I headed back home and handed my check to mom. "I got my last payment today, with a bonus." I said.

She smiled but pushed it back to me, "You keep it, buy yourself something nice." She said with a smile.

We went back and forth for a while, before I caved and kept the money. I'll keep it in case everything goes to heck. When it inevitably goes to heck... it always does.

"So how was your first day?" She asked while cooking.

"A pain." I muttered, "We did a Quirk Assessment test. I didn't want to show off so I used 10%, but it was still pointless." I muttered which caused her to laugh.

"I know how much you hate tests. Almost as much as you hate doing more than necessary." She commented, "But it's there for the teacher to check everyone's skill levels. So brave it out, not everything in school is fun." She said.

"I know..." I muttered, "Doesn't make it any less of a pain."

"You think everything is a pain." She said with a smile. "Dinner will be ready in an hour, go do your homework." She said.

"Already did it." I said with a smirk, but I went into my room anyway.

Hopefully class is more exciting tomorrow.
