I'm kinda speed running through the entrance exam and the quirk assessment because without the struggle to control One for all its just not the same.

UA highschool front entrance (Izumi POV)
"Where do they get the money for this fancy place?" I think looking at the entrance to my dream school.
I stayed calm on the train ride over but standing here now I try to up my confidence with a listing of my achievements.
"You have been training for this with all your heart. Mom believes in you, I can do this!" I think getting pumped up.
"Out of my way Deku!" Kacchan says trying to bump into me but I don't budge causing him to stumble.
"Careful Kacchan, don't want to fall down before you even start." I say watching him right himself.
"Shut up! It's not like your broken quirk is going to help you!" He shouts continuing to walk in a more brisk pace.
"Sure Kacchan just you wait I'll show you a broken quirk!"
"Excuse me Mam, am I on time for the exam?" A soft voice says behind me.
Turning around I see a girl with a brown hair, fair skin, and pink dots on her face smiling at me.
"Ya I think there is thirty minutes until registration is over." I say looking at my watch.
"Thanks for the help have a good day!" She says running into the building.
"Wait did she think I work here?" I say out loud to no one as I continue to walk in after her.
UA high school battle center B 3 hours later (Izumi POV)
After a written test that was far easier than it should have been they explained what the practical test was. We were destroying robots in a fake city and the points are one, two, three, and zero which does bring up the question of quirk bias. If you didn't have a destructive quirk you were pretty much screwed and that seems unfair to non combat hero's.
After the presentation that was interrupted by some glasses wearing jerk they loaded us onto the bus after letting us change into our respective clothes. The tracksuit I have on is DNA infused so I won't end up in just my underwear when I dissipate. Now we are standing in a crowd waiting for the test to start. I noticed the girl from earlier and thought I could start a conversation with her about my status as a student.
"What are you attempting, are you trying to distract other test takers." A annoying voice stops me from moving forward.
"What?" I ask looking at the same person who interrupted the presentation earlier.
"She is preparing herself and you plan to distract her!" He says chopping his hand in the direction of the girl from earlier.
"You mean like what your doing right now to everyone with your loud complaining?" I deadpan gesturing to the people staring at us.
There was subdued laughing around us but everyone stopped when Present Mic's voice cut everyone off.
"Ok start!" He shouts.
Not needing any other incentive I dissipate into mist and fly past the other participants into the fake city. Getting good distance in I faintly hear Present Mic tell the others to get in gear. I notice the robots milling about not targeting the non human shape I was. Reforming they immediately turn to me and raise there weapons.
"Target acquired. Prepare to die hero." The metal target says.
Collecting particles from my surroundings I move them into a familiar shape in my hands. Aiming my now named Hellfire shotguns I pull the trigger unleashing buckshot into the metal enemy.
Bang!
The robots head exploded in a shower of sparks falling over. Looking around I see more enemies swarming me putting a grin on my face.
"Your a lot more fragile than I thought you'd be." I rasp out taking aim.
UA high school observation room five minutes later (All Might POV)
There were a lot of great hero candidates running through the fake city. I was not only here to teach but also to find a candidate to pass on One for All. I didn't have much time left with only three hours of hero work a day before I fell apart.
"These a boy in city A that hasn't stopped yelling since entering." Midnight says rubbing her forehead with a wiry sigh.
"Yes Bakugo Katsuki, quirk Explosion from Aldera Junior High." UA's principle says looking at the manic boy blowing robots apart.
"Just means the little listener has spirit!" Present Mic yells.
"Or he's a collateral damage hero like Endeavor." Power Loader says tinkering with some device.
"I'll take him if he passes." Came the sleepy voice of Eraser Head.
More kids stood out as the test went on, some more than others. There weren't many people receiving rescue points until the bar moved steadily from a kid in city B.
"Nezu can you zoom in on examine 154 in city B sector 32." Snipe asks leaning forward a little.
The main monitor switches over to the location and shows a very tall girl with ash grey skin and long green hair firing guns at the robots. One three pointer takes aim behind her but before it can fire the girl's whole body bursts into mist.
"Midoriya Izumi, quirk Wraith also from Aldera Junior High. So far she has sixty seven villain points and twenty three rescue points. I'll turn the audio on in that sector." Nezu says pushing a few buttons.
"Ha tin cans, a dime a dozen." Came a very raspy voice belonging to greenette as she reformed behind the three pointer blasting it's head off.
"What did she just say about my robots!" Power loader yells pointing an accusatory finger at the monitor.
"I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it." I chime in for the first time.
"Toshinori is right. It seems she has been helping others in the test earning her rescue points. The last set of rescue points was for pulling another participant out of the line of fire." Nezu says pulling up a point sheet.
"Why does it feel like I've seen her before..." I think tapping my chin.
"Well she's throwing guns around like candy." Midnight says chuckling.
"We can discuss more later the fun part begins now." The principal says pushing a large button.
UA high school battle center B same time (Izumi POV)
"Ok road seems clear for now." I sigh catching my breath.
I had plenty of points now but I lost time to help some idiots who had no sense of self preservation, one guy I had to grab before he was hit in the face. By my estimate I have close to seventy points so I should be good.
Rumble! Boom!
The ground shook and a massive robot shot through the road. People screamed and started to run, even I was thinking of just dissipating away but something caught my attention.
"Help!" A voice yells.
Running into the dust cloud I look for where the voice was and I see the brown haired girl from earlier under some fallen debris.
"Don't move I'll get you out of here." I say already moving debris from on top of her.
She stays quiet as I move more debris but the zero pointer was coming closer. I go as fast as I can but time was almost up as the robots foot was bearing done on us. The girl was finally free so I don't waste time and throw her out of danger with all my strength.
"Ten seconds!" Present Mic yells.
I dissipate right as the massive robot steps on me. Floating out of danger, I blend in with the dust moving over to the girl I saved. Brown haired girl is just looking at where I was with horror written on her face.
"Time up! Thanks for participating!" Present Mic says ending the test.
With that I decided to reform next to the girl and sit down.
"Well that was close... you alright?" I ask.
"What!? I should be asking you that!" She yells tear spilling out.
"Hay I'm fine so don't cry." I say rubbing her back to calm her down.
"Is anyone injured?" A elderly voice says.
Looking over I see a small old women in a nurse uniform walking around examining people. On further inspection I have an internal freak out because that's the youthful heroine Recovery Girl! I pull myself together as she walks over to us.
"Yes her leg is hurt." I managed to say.
"Oh poor dear let me help." She says kissing the girl on the head healing her leg.
"Now eat these gummy's and rest up." Recovery Girl says moving on.
"My names Izumi by the way." I say smiling.
"Mine's Ochako! Nice to meet you and thanks for saving me." She replies enthusiastically.
Bakugo apartment 1 week later (Katsuki POV)
"Brat you letter is here!" The hag yells from the living room.
"Then give it to me you hag!" I yell back.
"No you will read it with me brat!" She says forcing me to go to the living room.
"Fine!" I say sitting down on the couch.
Opening the envelope a disk falls out into my hand. I place it on the coffee table, a light shines popping a projection of All Might.
"I am here as a projection!" All Might says.
"Fancy way of telling us you got in." The hag says but I ignored her.
"Young Bakugo you did wonderful on your written test any amazing on your practical test scoring seventy seven placing you in second place!" All Might says with his signature smile.
"Second!" I roar not believing someone scored higher than me.
"Welcome to your hero Academia!" He says as the disk shows the scoreboard for the test.
"No that's not possible!" I scream in my head seeing the first place name.
"Oh Izumi got first place, I should go over and congratulate her and Inko." Mom says standing up to go do whatever.
There was a ringing in my ears as the first place name mocked me. She must have cheated, there is no way that useless Deku beat me!
"Sixty seven villain points and thirty rescue points. What the fuck are rescue points!" I thought grabbing my hair.
I was already out the front door making a b-line for the source of my anger. Knocking on the door as hard as possible auntie Inko opens up.
"Oh Katsuki do you need something?" She says in a sweet tone.
"Where is Deku?" I grit out trying to stay calm.
"Oh she went to the gym, she won't be back for a couple of hour." She says smiling.
"Fine just tell her I'll see her at school."I say walking back home.
Midoriya apartment 3 hour later (Izumi POV)
Walking into the living room I see mom on the couch holding a letter smiling at me. It must be UA telling me if I got in or not.
"Honey come sit down I want to open it with you." She says patting the spot next to her.
"Of course mom." I say dropping my gym bag and sitting down.
Opening the letter she pulls out a disk of some kind and places it on the table. Like she already knew what to do a projection plays with All Might in a yellow suit.
"I am here as a projection! Young Midoriya you received a perfect score on the written portion of the exam. But you truly went plus ultra on the practical portion of the exam. You scored a total of sixty seven villain points which is more than enough to secure a spot in the hero course! However there was a hidden point system in the exam, rescue points! Due to your actions helping your fellow test takers you also received thirty rescue points! With a total of one hundred and seven points placing as number one in the whole exam! Welcome to your hero Academia!" He finished then the scoreboard pops up showing I blew the rest of the people away.
"Izumi I'm so proud!" Mom yells giving me a hug.
"I couldn't have done it without you." I whisper hugging her back.
"Oh we should probably ask about special uniforms, I can call tomorrow." She say.
"Good idea mom." I reply knowing I would die if I accidentally dissipate in school and end up in just my DNA infused underwear.
"Let's celebrate, what do you want for dinner?" She asks already knowing what I'll say.
"Katsudon." I say.
"I'll make a whole bucket for you." She says going to the kitchen.
Aldera Junior High next day (Izumi POV)
The school day was interesting to say the least. Before class even started the principal called both Kacchan and I to congratulate us on getting into UA. That seemed to piss Kacchan off even more but he kept a lid on it. Lots of students that previously afraid to interact with me due to Kacchan came to give congratulations angering him to a new level. But he didn't do anything until I was walking out the entrance of the school.
"Deku we need to talk." He grits out through clenched teeth grabbing the long sleeve on my uniform but failed to drag me due to our size and weight difference.
"What do you want?" I sigh out slapping his hand off my sleeve.
"I don't know how you cheated on the entrance exam but you screwed up my plan! I was supposed to be the only student from this crap heap of a school to get into UA!" He yelled drawing a crowd of students.
"I didn't cheat so don't get pissy because real life isn't like the made up story you have in your head." I say just tired of his attitude.
"Shut the fuck up! Some useless bitch with a broken quirk doesn't deserve to even be in UA so stay out of my way." He yells while his hand start to pop with small explosions.
I think my tolerance for Kacchan's particular brand of behavior finally reached its limit. It wasn't the name calling or the threat that tipped me over but that look in his eyes, it was screaming arrogance and self importance. So I used my size and my strength to drive a point home in his head by picking him up by his shirt and bringing him to eye level.
"You listen here you angry violent bully, I don't live my life according to your demands. I'm going to UA, I'm going to be a hero, and there is nothing you can do about it! This school may kiss your ass because you have a powerful quirk but I won't!" I yell dropping him on his butt and walking past the crowd that formed around us.
"This isn't over Deku!" I hear to turn around and continuing to walk home.
UA high school 3 weeks later (Izumi POV)
"I'm actually here." I say to myself walking into the massive building.
The brochure didn't do the school justice with how grand the facility was. Sparkling hallways, crystal clear windows, and doors I don't need to duck under. This wasn't a dream, I really here in the hero course.
"Excuse do you need help?" A polite voice breaks me out of my thoughts.
Looking over I see a woman in a very revealing costume that had a look of concern. The R-rated hero Midnight here probably because I haven't moved in ten minutes. While I was squealing internally my outward appearance didn't change.
"Sorry I'm looking for class 1-A." I say managing to keep my cool.
"Ah this school is a bit big especially on you first day let me show you. You are here about two hours before class, any particular reason?" She asks.
"Uh just a little nervous... I may have woken up really early and ran out the door before I realized what time it was." I say rubbing the back of my head with a sheepish smile.
"Don't worry I was nervous my first day here, just hold you head high and do your best." Midnight says with an encouraging smile.
"Whenever Yu talks about Midnight she just grinds her teeth" I think remembering Yu's many rants about the R-rated pro, Uwabami didn't help because she found it hilarious.
"Thank you... Ms Midnight." I say more confident following her down the halls.
"Just Midnight and if you need any help just ask, I'm happy to help." She says stopping at a large door labeled 1-A.
Nodding I walk in to the empty classroom and take the back seat near the window. I still had about an hour and a half before class was supposed to start so I pull out analysis notes and touch up some of the portraits I drew. A half hour went by before another person walked in, he was the annoying blue haired guy from the entrance exam.
"Ah extremely punctual! As expected from the top scorer in the entrance exam." He exclaimed making a B-line for my desk.
"What fresh hell is this." I think watching him come over.
"I must apologize for my words during the start of the exam. I believe I was a bit nervous and took it out on you so again I apologize." He says bowing to me.
"Uh no problem... My name is Midoriya Izumi nice to meet you." I say holding my hand out.
"Tenya Iida I hope we get along." He says shaking my hand.
He sat down a few seats over and began reading the rule book for the school. We waited as more students came in showing how diverse the class was. One student with a bird head, some guy with a tail, a bubbly pink skinned girl came in chatting with a flaming red haired guy, many more interesting people came in making me wonder what quirks they had. Kacchan came in and glared a soon as he saw me but didn't do anything. Tenya noticed Kacchan propping his legs on the desk and walked over to lecture him loudly.
I ignored them with class about to start but a minute before the bell the door burst open and Ochako ran in panting.
"Cutting it a bit close Ochako." I say getting the attention of my first friend in nearly a decade.
"Izumi! We're in the same class that's great! I accidentally set my alarm for the wrong time and had to rush." She blurts out running over to my seat.
"Slow down... I'm glad we share a class." I say trying I remember how to make casual conversation with people my age.
"If your here to make friends then leave, this is the hero course." I hear a voice coming from the door.
"That is the single most creepy thing I've seen all week."
Standing up I see a yellow caterpillar with a hobo face like it came out of a mental patient's nightmare.
"It took you eight seconds to quiet down, time is limited. You kids aren't rational enough." The now revealed man says somehow standing up and unzipping the sleeping bag around him.
"I don't remember any pro hero's that looked this rough?"
"I'm you home room teacher Aizawa Shota, nice to meet you. Now take a uniform and go to track and field area, you have ten minutes." Said the worlds most tired man as he holds out a gym uniform.
The whole class scrambled out of the room grabbing uniforms form Aizawa
UA track and field 10 minutes later (Izumi POV)
We finally made it to the field after the stampede that we created in the halls.
"Now we begin a quirk assessment test." Out teacher says standing in font of the class looking away from us.
"What about the entrance ceremony, orientation?" Ochako says justifiably confused.
"If your going to be a hero you don't have time for such leisurely events. UA is very flexible with its school traditions and that's also how they let us run out classes." He says turning to face us.
"We will be going the standard physical testing high schools use with one exception being the use of your quirks." He says holding up a phone and softball.
"Midoriya you got the top score in the entrrrance exam, what was your record for throwing distance?" He says pulling focus to me.
"82 meters." I say.
"Then try doing it with your quirk." He responded holding out the softball.
"What if my quirk doesn't help with throwing balls in any way, shape, or form?" I ask taking the ball practically feeling Kacchan's smug look.
"Then try your best..." He says in a tired tone.
Shrugging I just move to the circle and give the best throw I could give. The ball definitely went far due to the training I went through between that last time I took a physical exam.
"112 meters that definitely above average but it didn't illustrate my point. Now read the line up and take positions by group." He says showing a holographic list of our names.
The class started get riled up about using our quirks but what Aizawa said next dumped a bucket of ice water on everyone.
"Some of you said this would be fun... Ok whichever student comes in last is expelled." He says with a demonic grin.
"But it's the first day how is that fair?!" Ochako shouts.
"Great our teacher is an asshole."
"Villains, natural disasters, and unforeseen events that put thousands at risk... These are what you are expected to handle as hero's. Fair is never part of the equation, this school has three years to make you as ready as possible. So if you can't cut it here you might as well leave the hero course now and save us some time." He drawls out in a forlorn tone.
The first test was the 50 meter dash which was feeding my inner quirk enthusiast seeing all the creative way my classmates used there quirks. But of course I was paired up with Kacchan, luckily I have long legs I got a time of 4.70 seconds next to Kacchan's time of 4.13 seconds.
"If he had heat vision that glare could melt steel." I thought seeing the glare he sent for coming even close to his time.
Grip strength was easy but I came in second with a score of 440 kg behind a guy with six arms who got 540 kg.
"Thank you trainer Machio for all your help."
I took 7th place in the standing long jump but that was definitely in favor of certain quirks. Repeated side step was all endurance but I came in 3rd after a purple headed midget and a cute frog girl. What was impressive is Ochako in the ball throw test with a score of infinity.
With the results in our teacher showed our placements, I sat comfortably in 8th place. At the bottom of the list was the name Minoru Mineta who is my assumption was correct was the ugly crying boy.
"NOOOO how will I get all the lady's nowwww!" He screamed to the heavens causing every female in class to take a step back.
"What I said about expulsion was a logical ruse... welcome to the hero course." Out asshole of a teacher says then dismisses us.
UA Girls locker room five minutes later (Izumi POV)
Changing out of my gym uniform back into my school uniform was done in silence until someone decided to start a conversation.
Whistle!
"Damn girl your stacked!" Yelled a loud voice from my left.
I look over along with everyone else seeing a pink girl with horns staring in my direction. It took a second to put together what she was talking about but her eyes were on my exposed stomach muscles while I'm putting my shirt back on.
"Are you talking about me?" I asks pointing to myself.
"Ya! You could sharpen a knife on the abs." She continued moving closer.
"Uh thanks I guess? My name is Midoriya Izumi nice to meet you." I say trying to be friendly.
"Ashido Mina hope we can be friends, damn your tall like the tallest person I've ever met." She says now right next me.
"If we are going to introduce ourselves my name is Yaoyorozu Momo pleasure to meet you." A black haired beauty says already changed into her uniform.
"My name is Asui Tsuyu but call me Tsu." The cute frog girl says putting a finger up to her cheek and tilting her head.
"Hagakure Toru nice to meet all of you!" Came an enthusiastic voice from a floating uniform.
"Izumi already knows me by I'm Uraraka Ochaco let's all get along." She says with a large smile.
"Jirou Kyouka." Was the last girls simple reply.
"Hay who wants to go somewhere after school? You know, get to know each other." Ashido says.
All the girls agree to meet at a cafe near the school for a bit to get to know each other.
Midoriya apartment 5 hours later (Inko POV)
The call I got from Izumi earlier brought a smile to my face when she said her and a few class mates were going out after school. Despite her best efforts to hide it, I knew Izumi didn't have friends and that included Katsuki. So when she got home talking about her time with her new classmates while eating dinner it was heartwarming.
"-but Tsu had to leave first because she needed to watch her siblings. I did get her number." Izumi says completely forgetting about her meal.
"I'm glad you had fun honey." I said.
A look of contentment was present on her face but to quickly it vanished. She looked like she was trying to remember something then realization and frustration took over.
"Izumi what's wrong?" I ask as she hits her head on the table.
"I submitted my DNA to the Suport department for my costume but I forgot to send a design with it." She groans out face still on the table.
"Oh don't worry, The school called and asked about that so I sent in the papers you had on your desk." I say glad it wasn't anything bad.
"Wait what papers?" She asks lifting her head up.
"You know, The papers with your costume design on your desk. I knew you would have one around so I emailed it to the school." I clarified.
"Oh... I think I'm going to bed thanks for dinner..." she says in a daze going down the hall.
Once I heard the door shut I gather the plates and start to clean. Absentmindedly I thought back to the costume Izumi had drawn in great detail and the design even had descriptions of each function.
"Although I didn't expect her to want such a dark costume but hey maybe that's what kids are into now a days." I say to the empty kitchen.
