The rest of the week past fairly quickly for Izuku. He managed to increase his control over his bone density to the point where he was able to change between light and heavy in a second. It still wasn't instantaneous, and the second it took required concentration he might not have in a fight, so it wasn't perfect yet. His finger bullets were now able to pierce through the tree, so he was quite happy with that. He knew, however, that he needed the make it non-lethal somehow or get accurate enough he would be able to hit someone without killing or permanently crippling them.
Kaachan spent quite a lot of time with Izuku for the rest of the week, and he met up with Momo once or twice, studying seemed to be something they held in common. Kaachan was being much nicer, but was still loud and crude. He wouldn't downright insult someone, but 'nicknames' were common. Tomorrow was the first day of UA, and Izuku was quite nervous. He had no idea how people would react to his rather… unique quirk.
"Er.. I hope no one finds me creepy." Izuku mumbled, laying in his bed. He was extremely nervous to meet his peers tomorrow. Momo and Kaachan promised they would look out for him if anyone decided they were going to bully their little bunny. Momo's words, not Katsuki's. When Izuku asked Momo about the nickname, she blushed lightly and looked to the side.
"Well, you often jump around, using your legs as your main fighting style as well, like a rabbit… and you are cute like one too…." of course the moment she mumbled the last part both their faces went bright red and they looked to the side, deciding to ignore it. Izuku was quite surprised when he got his letter though. Apparently, he didn't get a 50 like he thought he did, he got a 110, as he got 60 rescue points, narrowly beating All Might's score of 109, which caused him to faint when he initially saw. That meant he was the highest scoring student in the school. Izuku grinned to himself, and decided to get some sleep.
Darkness was everywhere. Izuku heard voices, mumbling. He couldn't hear much, but what he was able to pick out concerned him slightly.
"Attack… Academy….. USJ…. All Might," of course, Izuku had no clue as to what USJ was, but 'Attack' and 'All Might' concerned him. He felt cold. He shivered. Suddenly, a booming voice shook throughout his whole mind, causing him great pain.
"What is this! A mind reading quirk! Get out!" and with a violent shove and a freezing feeling of pure fear and dread, Izuku woke up.
Izuku awoke feeling nauseous. That dream was so real! He felt something running down his nose, and when he wiped at it, he was shocked to see blood streaming from his nose. He also tasted blood, and his back was soaked in sweat. He grimaced and looked at his clock. 6:00 am. He sighed and got up. He decided a hot shower might help clean him up.
As he stood in the shower, he thought back to the dream. He couldn't remember many details except for that cold and terrifying voice. He shivered. He hoped he would never meet the owner of that voice, as it terrified him greatly. It sounded so cold, apathetic and angry at the same time, a contradiction that rattled his mind. He didn't even realize the water had run cold until his mom knocked on the door.
"Honey? Are you alright? You have been in there for almost an hour now…" she mumbled, concerned. Izuku shook off his feeling of dread and called back.
"I'm fine Mom! I will be out in just a second." He quickly turned off the shower and got dressed, heading out into the living room. The sun was barely peeking out from the horizon. He decided he had plenty of time and made himself a western breakfast of hashbrowns and eggs. He sighed, knowing he had about an hour and a half until he was expected to show up to school. He quickly finished his eggs and called out a goodbye to his Mom.
Katsuki and Momo were already waiting for him at the train station, having met earlier in the week when Katsuki was training with him and Momo met up with him. They didn't get along, and they still don't. Momo thought Katsuki was way to brash and rude, while Katsuki thought Momo was a stuck up rich girl. Poor Izuku had to be the peacekeeper between the two.
"Sorry I am a bit late guys!" Izuku said as he called up. Katsuki huffed, crossing his arms, while Momo gave him a small smile. Izuku decided to refrain from mentioning his dream to his friend and Katsuki (he still hasn't completely forgiven him, so not quite friends yet). They got onto the bus, which wasn't nearly as packed as it was the day of the exam. The ride over was fairly uneventful, other than a weird argument between Momo and Katsuki.
"I am telling you, the zombie apocalypse will never happen!" Momo said, frustrated. Katsuki laughed.
"Of course it will! I mean, we already have someone who can manipulate his own bones, and someone who can make clones of himself out of Ectoplasm! What says there can't be someone who can raise the dead and make zombies!" Katsuki argued. Momo glared, before they continued arguing again. Izuku sighed and hung his head, tuning it out for the rest of the ride.
Upon arriving at UA, both Momo and Katsuki seised their argument and walked forward with Izuku. Izuku was panicking. What if they didn't like him? What if his quirk scared someone! What if Bakugou made a scene and he was dragged into it! Momo glanced over and saw how anxious he was, and reached over and grabbed his hand, giving it a small squeeze, calming him down slightly. Bakugou smirked and made a comment about it, causing them to blush and drop their hands, looking away from each other.
They arrived at the door, Izuku marveling at the size while Katsuki was wondering if they were compensating for something. They opened the door and immediately Iida walked over, his hand already chopping the air. Izuku smiled.
"Hello Tenya-san, it's good to see you!" Izuku said, causing Iida to smile and nod.
"I am quite happy to see you in our class Midoriya-san, I am excited to see if your strength of will extends to strength of mind as well in our academic studies!" Iida was as earnest as ever, and loud too. Midoriya smiled, glad someone other than Momo or Katsuki was going to talk to him in class. Suddenly, the door opened behind Midoriya.
"Hello!" a cheerful voice called out. Midoriya turned around. It was the girl he saved who came and thanked him. Uraraka Ochako. He was glad she was alright, as she seemed very nice when they talked after the exams.
"Oh! It's you! The purple eyed dude who destroyed that zero pointer! It was so cool! You were all like, blam, and pow!" she said, accenting her words with punches and a grin. Midoriya blushed and looked away, thanking her quietly with a small smile. Momo smiled and introduced herself to Ochako while Tenya started to yell at Katsuki for having his feet on the desk. Soon, everyone was seated though. The door opened once again and what looked like to be a giant yellow caterpillar was outside the door. It unzipped and out came a very disgruntled man.
"Eight seconds. It took eight seconds for you all to quiet down. Illogical. I expect everyone in here to be able to be ready for class before I arrive. I am Mr. Aizawa, and I will be your homeroom teacher." he said, looking down at all of the students. Izuku thought he looked familiar, but couldn't quite place him.
"Get you gym uniforms on, and head outside. We will be doing quirk evaluations." Aizawa said in a lazy drawl. Everyone looked confused.
"What about orientation?" someone piped up. Aizawa glared at the student.
"The teachers here have our own set of rules. Now, go change!" he said. Everyone nodded quickly and ran to get changed and went outside. Outside stood Aizawa, already waiting.
"Back in middle school none of you were allowed to use your quirks in your physical evaluations. This is illogical. Here, you will be expected to use your quirks daily, and will be trained to use them effectively as well." he explained. Aizawa looked to Midoriya and called him forward, asking what his farthest throw was.
"59 meters sir…" Izuku said, causing the man to nod. He handed him a baseball and told him to throw it with his quirk. Izuku gulped. He didn't like to be put on the spot.
"You are allowed to do anything as long as you don't leave your circle. Understood?" Midoriya nodded in understanding and prepared himself to throw. He quickly reinforced the bones in his arms and legs, deciding he was going to try to do his best. He channeled One for All throughout his whole body, to his limits of 58% (it increased when he was able to increase bone density). He jumped as high as he could, which was about 50 feet, and chucked the ball, empowering his finger with 70%, enough to cause bruising, but able to heal easily. He landed nimbly.
"605.3" the machine chimed, causing everyone to gasp. Midoriya grinned. He was quite proud of himself. Aizawa looked at him, slightly impressed.
"I wasn't expecting you to jump…" he said quietly. As Midoriya walked back, one of the girls chimed up.
"We get to use our quirks? This sounds so fun!" she exclaimed. Judging from the look Aizawa gave her, he wasn't in agreement.
"Fun…? This is the hero course. If you are here for nothing but fun, then get out. If you think it's so fun, here is a new condition. The last in the evaluation gets dropped, expelled. Understood?" he said. Everyone gulped. For the first even was a 50 meter dash. Izuku simply activated One for All throughout his whole body and ran, able to keep pace with Iida, and slowly pulled ahead, finishing just a moment before him, at a time of 2.89 seconds. The others got different scores.
Iida Tenya got 3.01 seconds
Tsuyu Asui got 5.58 seconds
Uraraka Ochako got 7.15 seconds
Mashirao Ojiro got 5.49 seconds
Yuga Aoyama got 5.51 seconds
Mina Ashido got 5.50 seconds
Bakugou Katsuki got 4.13 seconds
Momo decided to roll with making a scooter, ending up with 5 seconds. Izuku kind of tuned out the rest. The next event was grip strength. Izuku dominated this one, as One for All combined with extremely strong bones equals a lot of force, 630 kg. The only person to compete with him was Mezo Shoji, with 540 kg. Next was the standing long jump. This is where Katsuki got to shine, practically flying, the only reason he didn't get an infinity was because he wasn't able to hold it the whole time. Izuku got a distance of 84 meters.
Standing side step seemed to be the only thing Izuku didn't do great in so far, while a boy named Mineta was able to score extremely high, bouncing between his purple orbs. Izuku already did the ball throw, but felt the smallest, tiniest, bit of satisfaction when he found he out threw Katsuki, who was a bit grumpy. Finally, they did distance run, which Momo got an infinity on with her scooter, seated toe-touches, and sit ups, all of which were fairly normal scores for Midoriya. Finally, the scores were posted.

Mineta paled, while Midoriya also paled, though for different reasons. Complete opposite reasons. Mineta was last while Midoriya was first, and both were feeling anxious about it. Aizawa cleared his throat, as Mineta started to cry and blubber at his feet, begging to stay. Aizama grimaced.
"What are you waiting for? Pack your things and get out of here." He said, disgusted with the little pervert. The boy cried as he got up and left. Everyone felt bad for him, but quickly moved on. They didn't have time to develop bonds with him anyways. Aizawa nodded to the rest of the class, and everyone went back to the classroom.
"You are all dismissed." Aizawa said with finality.
A/N I am making Aizawa a bit more strict here, and he will be following through with his threats in the future. I believe he was too lenient towards the class, so I will be changing that. I am sorry for Mineta fans, if there are any, but he had to go. I will also be expelling two more people later, but they will remain unknown for now. Thank you for reading everyone!
