-UA'S Entrance Exam-

The walk back was not a quiet one. Monoma constantly complained about how reckless UA was letting middle school student faced a robot that was 10 times their size, Shiozaki kept checking on the unconscious boy and offered to carry him while Aki put on a wry smile on his face every time Monoma started complaining and kept reassuring Shiozaki that he had no trouble carrying.

To their relief, a nurse approached them as soon as they reached the starting line. She instructed Aki to put the unconscious boy down on the ground before applying first-aid to him.

"Will he be fine?" Shiozaki asked with a concern voice while clasping her hand together, praying for the boy to be safe.

"The debris hit him on the head, but the boy's quirk allow him to minimize damage to his body so there is no severe injury except for some scratches. No sign of concussion so along with my healing quirk, he'll wake up in no time." The nurse reassured the vine-haired girl with a smile.

"Besides, you three are really impressive. Running away from danger is easy, towards it takes a great deal of courage. This boy is safe thanks to you three so be proud of it."

Not used to compliments, Monoma just nodded with a flustered face, Shiozaki bowed her head and thanked the woman for her kind words while Aki looked like he was about to die from embarrassment judging from his red face.

"As flattered as I am for the kind words, may I ask how could UA, a prestige hero school, use such a dangerous robot for a mere exam? A lot of people could have gotten hurt by it." Monoma questioned the nurse with a serious face.

"I agree that the method is not very safe, but there is a safety switch inside the zero-pointer that would switch itself off before the robot could hurt anyone. Although some of us complained about this many times before, Nezu would just laugh and says that 'This way, we could learn about the student ability and potential to be a hero!' The nurse frowned while resting her right cheek on her hand.

"That is.. concerning" Mumbled Aki as he imagined a bear….mouse….human-creature laughing.

"Yes, it is. But his method is effective as it always brought us promising hero students every year, so I guess there's a silver-lining in it." The nurse gently smiled before speaking again " Anyways, us adults got it from here. Why don't you three check out at the entrance and call it a day. It's getting late and I think your parents would be worry."

"Oh my, it is getting quite late. Once again, thank you for helping us,…"

"Dogen, Emma Dogen but I would prefer it if you call me Emma."

"As you wish, Emma-sensei, we will be taking our leave. Take care." Shiozaki said.

"You too. I hope that we would see each other again, next time with you guys as UA's Student."

The trio walked together towards the check-out gate to collect their items. The walk was unusually quiet, as if they were trying to strike up a conversation but did not know what to talk about. The silence continued for awhile before Monoma spoke up.

"Mochizuki-san, I have been thinking about this since we met, would it be rude to ask what is that mechanical on your left hand? Is it part of your quirk?"

"Yes, I have been wondering that too, but feel no pressure to answer if it makes you uncomfortable." Shiozaki added her two-cent in. Although she was curious, she respected the boy's privacy.

"Nah, it's fine. To answer your question, Monoma-san, this is a prosthetic arm. The school granted me permission to use it as a support item along with this katana." Aki answered, holding up his left arm that was covered by mechanicals while eyeing at the katana what was resting on his left hip.

"Prosthetic? Is your left hand suffering from an injury?"

"Oh, no. I use this only as a support item to grapple myself onto buildings and use some tools that are attached to it since my quirk isn't exactly good for combat."

"I see." Monoma nodded in understanding, "Then what is your quirk, I may ask?"

"It's kinda…. hard to explain." Aki scratched his head, "I don't know its limit or how it actually works sooooo….. sorry, can't help you."

"No need to apologize, Mochizuki-san, we merely asked out of curiosity. If anything, we should apologize for prying."

"It's no bother. But, if it's okay for you two, may I ask what your quirks are? I like hearing about new quirks and recording them down."

"I would glad to tell you about my quirk." Shiozaki smiled, "My quirk is called Vines. It gives me hair-like vines that grow on my head. I can lengthen and manipulate the vines, allowing me to attack, defend and grapple. I could also detach them as will. The vines will grow back, if my head receives proper sunlight and water, but I prefer not too doo that as it would leave me bald for awhile."

"It would be a delight to demonstrate to you my wonderful quirk!" Monoma exclaimed while laughing out loud, "My quirk is Copy. As the name suggested, I can copy any quirk by physical contact, possessing the same advantages and disadvantages of the quirk and I can swap between Quirks that I copied for a wider approach. However, I can't use accumulation-quirk, and I could only use one copied quirk at a time and the use of these quirks are limited to my own body."

Jotting down the information as quickly as possible, Aki have more questions to ask about their quirks but before he was able to, Monoma interrupted him.

"As interesting as this was, I afraid I must go home. My parents must be starting to get worry and I really don't want to deal with them swarming over me when I got home." Monoma said, pointing his hand toward the bus that was approaching.

"Me too. I would not want to worry my parents further. It was fun meeting you two. I hope we can see each other again soon, maybe next time as classmates." Shiozaki said, smiling gently while pointing at the direction of the train station.

"So bright!" Thought Aki before nodding and pointed in the opposite direction from the two and said, " That would be fun! Hope to see you two soon. Good luck with the result!"

The trio waved goodbye before walking off on their own ways, a smile crept on to their lips.

Author's Note: And that's the second chapter! I want the entrance exam to be over and have a little interaction between the three.

I also want to introduce Emma since she is a very cool and important character in Sekiro that I will try to include in this story.

I also noticed a buch of grammar errors in the previous chapter but in my defense, I wrote it at 3 A.M and my brain was thinking about sleep all the time BUT, I wrote this chapter fully awake so I THINK, there won't be as much error as the previous chapter.

I hope that you enjoy this chapter. I will try to update as soon as possible! Thanks for reading
