~A/N~ No-one: Once again another story comes to me instead of continuing my current works.
No-one: Ochako went through a change before we met her, and it will have long term consequences.

~Chapter 1 Entrance Exam~
Hero schools all over Japan was testing applicants to determine the students for the next year, currently everyone was sat down for their written exam, one such examinee was Ochako Uraraka.
Ochako was a slightly short girl with a decent amount of baby fat still present on her features, her short brown hair had two bang framing her face, she matching brown eyes and permanent blush marks on her face.
She was nervously going through the written test, she couldn't help but fearfully look toward the teachers 'We're technically cheating aren't we?'
"Oh come Ochako, we aren't doing anything wrong" came a voice that she had become incredibly familiar with over the past few months "The answer to that one is 63 by the way"
'Thank you Himiko' Ochako replied mentally 'I still can't help but feel like we have an unfair advantage'
"People with intelligence quirks have an unfair advantage here" Himiko answered "so I'll help where I can and get our spot in the hero course"
'Alright let's just finish up the written test, then we'll take on the practical' Ochako hummed to herself as she kept writing, with Himiko helping provide answers they studied for.
Soon enough they were all told that the written exam was finished and to place their pencils down, Ochako took a deep breath to calm her nerves, the applicants were guided to an amphitheatre where Present Mic explained how the practical would take place.
"We got nothing to worry about Ochako, with our strength and your quirk we'll destroy this exam" reassured Himiko.
'Yeah, but if push comes to shove, we'll need your acrobatics Himiko' Ochako commented 'so be ready to switch if we need it'
Soon after the test was explained, they were all given a chance to change into sport wear, Ochako slide some sunglasses on to cover her eyes and were loaded on to buses and taken to their respective test sites.
"How big is UA's budget?" whistled Ochako "maybe we can try and talk about getting my parents a contract here?"
She tuned out the chatter of the other participants, she performed some breathing exercises she looked up online, while she could hear a couple people arguing toward the back, she closed her eyes and kept her focus.
"AND START!" Present Mic shouted from the top of a watch tower "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THERE'S NO COUNTDOWN IN A REAL FIGHT!"
Ochako wasted no time, running as fast as she could, she was near the front of the pack, only the guy with engines in his legs was staying ahead of her, as she kept pace she saw a two pointer slide in front of her.
'Himiko Legs!' She thought, before surrendering control, her run continuing uninterrupted, she jumped and launched a kick at the robot's shoulder, tearing through the elbow joint.
"Ochako arm!" Himiko commanded, listening to her companion, she grabbed the robotic limb, removing it's gravity in the process "I'm giving you the legs back, if you give me an eye"
Ochako blinked, her left eye changing from it's normal brown to a bright gold with a slit pupil, the ball moving independently from her right.
Ochako kept her pace as constant as possible using the arm as a club to break down some of the other robots, and throwing the rest after removing their gravity, Himiko kept issuing warnings, allowing Ochako to avoid attacks from the left.
"What was that, 34?" she asked, crying to catch her breath.
"38 actually" Himiko answered "When you dropped that three pointer, it crushed a couple two pointers"
'Thanks Himiko' she thought 'We'll get an extra large "smoothie" after this'
Before the brunette could continue the ground began shaking, a giant robot, as big as the buildings emerged, sending rubble in all directions, Ochako tried to dive out of the way only for a rock to land on her leg.
"Ow!" she yelled as she fell to the ground, her sunglasses falling off in the process, 'Himiko, can you get us out of here?'
"Yeah, no problem" Himiko answered as Ochako surrendered control, her eyes both turning gold.
Before any moves could be made however, a green blur shot passed them towards the zero pointer's head "SMASH!" was yelled before everyone watched the metal colossus crumble like tissue.
"Shit, he's falling"Himiko exclaimed, kicking the debris from her leg, she rose to her feet as quick as possible 'The moment I jump, I'm giving you control back'
"Got it" Ochako replied, bracing herself for the switch, the moment her feet left the ground her eyes flashed back to brown, slapped her hand across her chest removing her own gravity, rising at a steady rate she reached the falling boy, catching him as best she could.
"I got you" she said, hoping to calm him, her eyes widened in shock when she saw the state of his body, both of his legs and his right arm were broken, she shifted her hold to be more gentle as they descended slowly toward the ground.
The boy had dark green curly hair and bright green eyes, he also had four freckles on each cheek, Ochako recognized him from the entrance where she sopped him from tripping over.
She carefully set him on the ground, only to be shocked as he attempted to move away "hey calm down or you'll hurt yourself more"
"J-just one point" he grunted out.
"TIMES UP!" Present Mic announced to all the exam participants.
With that announcement made the green haired boy passed out, Ochako couldn't help but feel bad for him "Think we could give the cutie some of our points?"
'C-cutie?' Ochako couldn't help but be shocked at Himiko's question, she looked down at the unconscious boy 'well you're not wrong'
"Excuse me deary" came an elderly voice, looking towards it she saw a short old lady with her grey hair in a bun and a cane shaped like a giant syringe "do you have any injuries?"
"I'm fine, but he needs lots of help" Ochako immediately showed her concern for a person she didn't even know the name of, she watched as the old lady kissed the boy's forehead, the moment her lips impacted him, his injuries began to rapidly heal before her eyes.
"There we go all done" the old lady said finality.
"Would you like me to help move him?" Ochako offered.
"No, that's alright the support drones can carry him to the infirmary" she reassured "you can run along now deary"
"...okay" the brunette replied hesitantly, after she left, she went to find Present Mic.
Dressed back her school uniform, she wandered through the halls to find Present Mic, she saw exiting through an office door.
"Um… Present Mic sir" she called out, getting the pro's attention "you know that guy who saved me from the zero pointer, he has green hair, freckles, "Kinda cute" kinda cute" when she realized she absent-mindedly copied Himiko, a blush erupted across her face.
Mic just watched with a patient smile.
"I was wondering if… I could give him some of my points" she said "he hurt himself really badly trying to help me, and I heard him say "Just one point" so could I transfer some of my points to him please"
"Thanks for showing up to the station with your request" Mic replied, gently patting her on the head "but there's no need to give him your points, the kid's charting well on his own"
Ochako was confused by the pro's words, pushing his hand off her head 'Did that make any sense to you Himiko'
"Nope, I'm as lost as you" her companion answered "but it sounds like we won't need to worry too much"
"Okay, thank you" Ochako said eventually "I guess I'll leave now"
"Stay safe listener" Present Mic called, waving goodbye.
~A/N~ No-one: There we go, the entrance exam has finished and Ochako did a lot better with a little help.
No-one: Feel free to speculate what is happening where Ochako and Himiko are concerned, until next time…
No-one: I'm No-one Special
