Juzo walked in with the rest of 1-B, dragged in by the ranting lunatic Monoma and the trio of love birds known as Kikono, Setsuna, and Ibara. At least Kinoko mixed things up a bit and didn't develop a crush on the last third of 1-A's powerhouse trio, but it didn't make her obsession with the 'forest king' any less weird.

He was still lucky they all survived the escape room … and the sex ed class. Juzo didn't need to know how quirks could be used to 'spice things up' as it were. "Well well well, if it isn't the second rate class known as 1-A, how quaint." He was starting to suspect Monoma could literally not go a day without being spiteful lest he shut down like some kind of machine.

"Last I checked beta starts with a B!" Bakugo shouted from the top of the rock, kicking away a mound of bedrock with an explosion, most likely imagining it being Monoma's ass.

"And A stands for asshole, or did I miss grammer class!" Oh god Setsuna, do not start that weird thing you think is flirting.

"Don't worry about it, I got a few more words for you to help you catch up, like Fuck you!"

"So you have been thinking of me like that~!" WHY!?

"Oh, hey guys, how's it been?" Suzuki came by looking … fuzzier.

"So fluffy…" Ibara was blushing crazily. Looks like the Christian girl was a developing furry.

"Wow, it seems that 1-A has gone animalistic. Clearly your sense of fashion is as terrible as your sense of taste." Monoma scoffed, despite being right within choking range of the vine girl.

"Well I kinda do like everything. Your costume is really nice Monoma, the clocks give you a gentleman look."

"I…" The ego maniac couldn't say anything, actually blushing in a similar manner Aizawa would whenever Suzuki said something nice before turning away. "W-Well, just so you know, only about five-percent of participants during the exams manage to pass. Who knows, maybe all of you will fail when all of 1-B passes!"

"Actually you'll be held within separate testing facilities." Vlad-sensei interrupted. "We need to cover as much ground as possible … I'm sure the Shiketsu bastards will do the same."

"Then I shall pray for the success of both classes." Ibara shook herself out of her daze and walked up to Suzuki. "I wish you well, Iruma. I'm relieved to see you happy and progressing well in your training." She wrapped the boy in a hug, feeling every bit of fur on his costume. "So soft.." He could feel the murderous intent of the other girls from here.

"Guess that sex-ed class do more for Ibara than we realized. Why was there a whole section on the history of furries?" Kendo shuddered. "At least no one else is going.." She saw the mushroom girl blushing hard looking at the anivoice user. "Never mind."

"I wish thee luck, king of the forest! May your travel come bearing fruit for all!" Kikono waved to Koji. The man gave a silent nod to the girl with a thumbs up, causing the mushroom girl to blush even further.

"Regardless of whatever crazy obsessions our class may have, we're certain to stand above 1-A no matter what!" Monoma tried to turn the conversation back into a bragging rights contest.

"Good luck Monoma, I know you're going to do well!" Suzuki cheered.

The boy twitched. "You make this so hard." Suzuki was capable of doing the one thing no one in either class was able to accomplish: Make Monoma stop ranting without physical force. An award-winning feat in itself.

Mina looked out at all these students, coming into a giant stadium. "Finally, this is my time!"

"Time for what? To pass the exam and get your license?" Ochako asked.

"Nope, it's my time to get in with all the boys outside of our class." Way too many in her class were taken, and it would be a good chance to have a long distance relationship. She wanted to mix romance with girl time after all. She was sure Tsu was close to losing it.

Speaking of, the girl herself had been pretty closed off ever since they started living in the dorms. She always went to bed early, and her normally cute neutral expression always seemed a touch more sad than usual. She didn't even have her usual blunt response to slight stupid conversations. It was starting to worry her.

"This sure seems like a lot of pressure." Kaminari shook a bit looking at the place. "Competition seems tough."

"Don't worry, you have this in the bag." Momo patted his back. "Remember the moves we worked on? You'll take them down for sure." This was the kind of thing she needed in her life!

"Yeah, and our new gear will make things easier for us as well." Jiro reassured him. "You got this, big guy."

"Yeah, we have nothing to worry about!" Toru cheered. "We're all stronger now! We got this in the bag!"

"Let's do the motto everyone!" Iruma shouted. "For good luck, Plus-"

"ULTRA!" Shouted a new voice of a very tall man, bald, with lots of energy. "I'M SORRY IF I INTERRUPTED, BUT YOU JUST SHOW OFF SO MUCH PASSION AND SPIRIT! IT GETS ME SUPER PUMPED!" He screamed and bowed so low his head smashed into the sidewalk. It was hard enough to cause bleeding.

"It's him…" Aizawa said with surprise.

"Dude, are you okay!?" Kirishima shouted. "Your head is bleeding!"

"A SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO SHOW SPIRIT! SORRY, I JUST LOVE UA SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO SAY IT AT LEAST ONE TIME!"

"You're getting too worked up Yoarashi." A very furry man walked up and grabbed his shoulder. "Stop shouting, it's uncouth."

"So much blood…" A girl with puffy lips looked at the guy with curiosity.

"So what school do you guys go to?" Iruma asked, looking at the girl a bit weirdly.

"Shiketsu." Bakugo spoke up. "The UA of the east, the only school in the fucking country that rivals ours."

"Ketsubutsu is a close second." The fuzzy man spoke. "Actually, they're over there now."

"Ketsubutsu …" Aizawa's eyes widened. "Kids, we're leaving. We'll try another facility across the country, anywhere but-"

"Yo, Eraser-kins!"

"... Damn it all." The man growled, hiding as much of his face in his scarf before turning to the green haired woman looking like she was wearing boxer shorts on the outside. "Ms. Joke. You're here as well."

"Of course I am! I wouldn't miss a chance to see your pretty smile! HAHAHA! Let's get married!" She screamed. Aizawa had romance in his life!? This was the best day ever!

"Oh, you never said you had a girlfriend, Aizawa-sensei! She looks so nice!" Iruma and her were once again on the same level.

"Suzuki, she is not my girlfriend. I met her on a patrol once and she has never left me alone."

"And that's how we fell in love."

"I will end you in so many possible ways." They were perfect for each other!

"Oh, so she's where you learned to be so nice! I wish you two a happy union!" Iruma bowed.

"This kid's great! Hahaha!" The lady laughed as their teacher kept whispering for himself to disappear from the face of the earth. "You guys should meet my own, they're also great."

"Hello there." Spoke … a black haired Suzuki? "I'm Shindo, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. I've never seen someone with a mirror face." Their Suzuki took it in stride.

"So.…many…..Iruma-kuns…..!" Hagakure was now salivating loudly, everyone taking a step back from her.

Everyone except one. "So….many…..Deku's…..!" Bakugo growled the name of his mysterious companion before getting in Iruma's way. "Don't talk to them, Dodger. The look in their eyes doesn't match what they're saying."

"Oh come on now, don't you trust little old me?"

"Eh, not really." Iruma, of all people, admitted. "You kinda have that look in your eyes my parents have sometimes."

"Well you heard the cinnamon roll, people." Mina announced. "If he doesn't trust someone, then neither should we."

"Invalid." Everyone turned to Mineta. "He trusts Shigaraki." … Fair point.

Shoji was tightening the straps of his new gear. When Suzuki mentioned he was getting sensory accumulation gear, he decided to get in on the action, which Hatsumei provided in the form of a micro sonar dish to pick up long range sounds he couldn't get on his own, smelling salts to clear his sense of smell, and a telescopic eyepatch for farther sight with a single eye.

"Never thought I could actually use support gear, but here I am." He said as he talked to Tokoyami, who didn't really change anything about his gear. "Any changes you'd like to make?"

"I have a flash bang or two for when I need to let Dark Shadow cut loose, but other than that, not much." The raven nodded. "I've mainly been focusing on close quarters combat with Black Abyss. I can't expect to face every enemy from long range."

"I haven't got anything I can use to help, just some plating on my joints." Kirishima spoke. "I wonder if it's gonna be enough for those Shiketsu guys. I thought it was just 1-B, but look at how manly those guys are as rivals!"

"Well yeah, we're pretty famous, and that's not just with all the villain attacks." Kaminari said with pride in his voice. "Pretty much everyone knows our faces from the sports festival. We're basically celebrities."

"Celebrities … I wonder if that means I get my face on a T-shirt." Suzuki spoke up. "Nah, nothings better than a white plain." Only Ojiro could agree with that. "This almost feels like the entrance exam, except more serious somehow."

"Of course it is." Bakugo suited up, his explosive gauntlets on all limbs and multiple grenades strapped to his chest. "Passing this means you get your license, and that means you get to go in with the pros."

"And then you may shine in front of the whole world!" Aoyama shouted. "Full of glory and passion!"

"And seeing as how much trouble you tend to run into in your daily life, you'll be able to use your quirk to help yourself out of a bind if the occasion calls for such." Iida reminded Iruma.

"So pass the exam so I can fight and survive without getting in trouble. Got it." Best they were going to get. "Why did Aizawa-sensei seem to know the bald guy?"

"He took the recommendation exam." Todoroki spoke up from his spot, his hero suit had a larger belt on it while the sides of his body had small but compact devices. "He actually beat me, I thought he went to 1-B but apparently he went to Shiketsu instead."

"Someone actually did better than you?!" Mineta screamed. "But you're the best in the class!" A small sparkle drew his attention back to the explosive student. ""I mean … one of the best."

"If I remember correctly, his quirk is some sort of wind manipulation. That alone makes him difficult to deal with." Todoroki sighed. "I wasn't exactly the most friendly person back then either, so he probably has a grudge against me, and UA as a whole because of that."

"I doubt it, he stole the whole chant because he loves UA, remember?" Kirishima said. "You're being too hard on yourself man, I'm sure he doesn't hate you in the slightest."

"I'm gonna kill that bastard, Todoroki." Inasa repeated over and over. It was the one phrase on his mind aside from Plus Ultra that rang in his head. That two toned asshole still held that angry glint in his eye, one that didn't convey passion and spirit befitting of a TRUE hero!

"I admire your tenacity, but don't fan a flame not present." Mora-senpai reminded him.

"Yeah, just cause you don't like his style doesn't mean he's your Arch Nemesis or somethin, ya know?" Camie-senpai patted his back. "That's gotta be some super special stuff with someone you want to know forever." She's been a bit off lately, maybe she had been working herself too hard for this exam.

"It's not completely unwarranted. It's true there are those in UA who aren't worthy of the title hero." Shishikura adjusted his uniform. "Prove your superiority through your merit. You're the only first year student from Shiketsu for a reason. Do not waste this opportunity."

"Yes Sir, Shishikura-Senpai!" He bowed his head on the ground again.

"Oh come on, we just got you cleaned up the last time!"

"I'm sorry Senpai, I humbly apologize!" He bowed his head once more to prove his point.

"So much blood…" Camie-sempai looked like she was looking at the sight in awe. Either that, or he gave himself a concussion and was now imagining things. Hey, did the world spin this much ten seconds ago?

"Greetings examiness or whatever you like to call yourselves…it doesn't really matter." A shaggy blonde man called out from the stage as all one thousand hero hopefuls gathered into the room. "My name is Mera, and I'm from the Hero commission. I'm here to oversee you all because no one respects my right to sleep a full eight hours. Or take a day off once every three hundred and sixty five days." The poor man.

"I didn't know Aizawa-sensei had a brother."

"As much as i'd like to joke with you, this guy makes Aizawa look peppy."

"For your first exam, you'll be taking part in a game of dodgeball." The screen popped up. "Place three of these devices anywhere visible on your person, you're not allowed to hide them from being hit."

"Dang it!" Shouted an invisible girl. She was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Once all three are hit, you're out. If you get two other students out, you make it to the next phase. Only one hundred applicants out of the one thousand five hundred and forty of you will be allowed to pass."

"That's less than ten percent, and only half of that are known to pass overall." A girl he vaguely remembered from the recommendation exam said in worry.

"Talk about a vetting process." Camie muttered. "Good luck everyone." He nodded back, may luck be with her.

"Next to you you'll see six orange balls." He looked down, finding the object in question. "The prep time begins now." The walls fell, revealing a wide open and rocky area. "Get movin, I'm gonna nap." He would go plus ultra, he will prove himself as a hero!

And most of all, he'll stick it to that son of a bitch son of Endeavor.

Momo took charge of the situation, she had to make sure the entire class passed. "Now for starters, we will be working as a group, as a unit, and as a family." She started. "Anyone who will not follow this is out."

"Bakugo already left the moment the doors were down." Sero pointed out. She figured as much. "He took Kirishima with him." That was expected, he was the closest thing Bakugo had to a friend. It was a loss, but it was an expected one. "Along with Kaminari and Jiro."

"WHA…Okay…alright…" She held herself together. Denki probably wanted a chance to prove himself and Jiro…well Jiro was working well with Denki and wouldn't mindlessly follow Bakugo's lead. She just wished they would've told her about it beforehand. "Anyone … else?" She really hoped the answer was no.

"I'm out." Todoroki also stood up. "No offense, I'd like to be with friends, but my powers work best when I don't have to worry about trapping someone in a glacier … or melting someone."

So two of the strongest in class were on their own. This was not a good start for them. "Don't worry, I'm staying to help you guys. We don't have to fight or compete against each other for once." Iruma nodded, putting his mask on. "If I can help us all pass, I'll give everything I got!"

She nodded, at least one powerhouse was working with them. "Okay then, so we need to form groups. Anyone with long range quirks should take the back and attempt to slow them down. We use Sero and Mineta to pin them and hit their points while downed."

"On it, Class Prez!" The class shouted. Mina, Tokoyami, Tsu and Aoyama heading into their positions. Yes, with the right plan, they could all pass this swiftly and easily…

"Does everyone feel that?" Shoji paused everyone's movements, the ground shaking just ever so slightly. "That doesn't feel natural."

"It's like when I was in that ravine with all those wildebeests…" Iruma kneeled on the ground, getting in 'wolf style' position. "There's a lot of something charging right at us."

"The only thing that could be are the other examinees, but why would they surround us so quickly…" Uraraka asked out loud

"Unless they're aiming for the toughest school to get them out …" Hagakure finished. Damn it, how did she not see this coming!?

"They've seen the sports festival, they know what our quirks are!" She yelled out to everyone. Of course they wouldn't be able to appear on national television without something biting them in the butt! "Shoji, we need exact locations! Which direction will they come from?"

"Everywhere, we're surrounded by multiple schools!"

"Your minute is up. Begin." They only had a minute!?

"So you're the one who breaks his body when he uses his quirk, right?" The Ketsubetsu student from the entrance yelled as several other examinees popped out from seemingly nowhere. "I can't say I'm above taking advantage of that!" And with that, hundreds of balls were heading into their direction.

Iruma tapped his mask, eyes glowing. The boy jumped into the air and let out a swing of the leg, any balls coming from above were caught within the wind. "I learned to not overcook the chicken! That won't work on me!" … It was so satisfying seeing others stupefied for a change.

"None of us are who we were back then!" Toru flipped into the air and spun her body. "FLASH GRENADE!" Any enemies in her line of sight fell back from this disorientation. "We need to move!"

"So you guys like unity, don't you?!" The boy that looked like Iruma hit the ground. "Let's split you up like the scooby gang!" The ground shook once more, cracks forming as villain attacks came in, forcing them to avoid in opposite directions. Ten seconds in and chaos already reigned supreme … day in the park for 1-A.
