Welcome to the next chapter of Electric heart. It times for the UA Entrance exam, a moment Izuku had been building to his entire life. To see if he can become the hero he's always wanted to be.

Will his father's designs be enough to get Izuku into UA's hero course? Or will they deny him the opportunity because of how much support his quirk requires? Will he be able to get enough points, or will he fail to show the world his power?

As always, I don't own any rights to Marvel or MY HERO ACADEMIA or any of their characters.

With that let's begin.

Izuku couldn't believe it as he stood looking up at the front gate of UA. After months of late nights, and building his gauntlets over and over, Izuku had arrived. He had gone to bed early the night before just to make sure he would wake up in enough time for UA's Hero Course Entrance exam. It was the next step in fulfilling his dreams of becoming a hero, something he had to take hold of and never let go.

Izku shouldered his backpack as he stepped through and was officially on UA grounds. A warm feeling passed over him as though he had only been seriously working to get him the past six months, and had been working towards this his entire life. And for some reason, he wasn't as nervous as he thought he would be. He was confident in his equipment and all he had learned from relentlessly being beaten down onto the practice mat.

Izuku's right ear was suddenly flicked.

It also helped that Mei had decided to come in to provide moral support, despite UA's entrance exam for the support department not starting for another two hours.

"Come on." Mei said as he walked past Izuku and headed to the main building where the opening ceremony would happen. Izuku chuckled and was about to follow after her when a cold voice came from behind Izuku.

"Get out of the way Deku." Bkaugo yelled from behind Izuku, "And I thought I told you not to try and get in."

Izuku was pulled from his calming mindset as Bakugo pushed past him, making sure his shoulder hit Izuku. Izuku stepped away from Bakugo and held his tongue. He had been preparing himself not just for the entrance exam, but also for the chance he would run into Bakugo. Izuku thought about saying that Bkaugo couldn't hold him back and he had every right to take the test, same as everyone else. But Izuku knew that could just get Bakugo all riled up, so he didn't say anything.

Izuku waited to give some distance to Bakugo, but when Bakugo reached Mei, Izuku felt his hand reach up behind him and grabbed his backup. He watched as Bakugo looked at Mei, seeming to recognize her. Mei looked back and though her eyes didn't narrow in anger, Izuku noticed her eyes were zooming in now Bakugo, allowing her to watch for any sudden movement. A habit Izuku had noticed early now but never asked Mei able.

The two of them looked at each other for a minute then as if she wasn't worth his time, Bakugo clicked his tongue and continued walking. Izuku exhaled as he was sure Mei was doing the same, he walked up to her and asked, "Are you okay?'

"Just fine. Get in there and prove him wrong. And the support exam will have started by the time you're done. Wait up for me" Mei said.

Izuku nodded and opened the door and went inside. He followed the arrows that led him to a giant auditorium. Izuku pulled out his phone and opened the marked email that had his seat location. He began walking up the stairs and found that he had an aisle seat. Izuku slipped off his backpack stored it under his seat and then sat down. He only had to wait a few minutes before all the lights turned off and the opening ceremony began.

"HHHHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOO!" Izuku instantly recognized the voice from the podcast he always listened to when he got into a zone while he was working on a project. It was the Voice Hero: Present Mic. He walked onto the stage in his hero costume and continued with the ceremony. First up was the written portion, something that Izuku was never stressed about.

Izuku had always been at the top of his class for grades. Even with all the time he spent building and working on projects, Izuku always made sure he found time to do homework and study for any test. Though with how easy he absorbed information he didn't have to study for long. So after the written tests were handed out and the hour-and-a-half timer began counting down, Izuku looked at the first question and gained a small smirk after seeing how easy the question was.

The following questions weren't much more difficult and Izuku easily breezed his way through the test. Though he wasn't above double-checking his work and his answers. But when the timer went off Izuku was more than confident he had passed as he handed in his test. In exchange for his test, Izuku was given a card that had a letter on it, which Izuku figured was the exam area he was designated to.

Izuku then returned to his seat and the introduction to the physical portion of the test began. Present Mic explained how the test worked and how examinees could earn points by destroying robots. The only small hiccup came when an examinee expressed his confusion over how in the handout there were four robots listed by other three that had been verbally mentioned. Present Mic explained that the fourth robot is a bit of a secret and as it is not worth any points most people stay away from it.

With that, everyone got up and headed out of the auditorium and outside where several buses were waiting to take them to their exam areas. Izuku looked at his card again and then headed to one of the buses that was marked to go to exam area B. He walked to the back of the bus, choosing not to notice everyone staring at his backpack. Izuku sat down in one of the seats and then placed his backpack on his legs

The wait for the bus to start moving wasn't long and soon it was at exam area B. Izuku was one of the last off the bus and without knowing when the test would begin, Izuku set about getting his equipment on. He walked over to a bench and sat down and pulled out his gauntlets. As Izuku connected all the wiring and tightened the screw, he sensed someone walking up to him. Izuku looked up and saw it was the same blue-haired student who was confused about the robots.

"What's with all the equipment?" The blue-haired examinee asked.

"It's to help direct my quirk. Made them myself." Izuku said as he tightened the last screw and flexed his finger. The repulsor hummed to life as Izuku felt his quirk get siphoned through his arc reactor and down to his palm.

"If your quirk requires so much equipment, perhaps it's not suitable for becoming a hero. Perhaps you would have better luck in the support course. What would you do if your equipment was broken in the middle of a fight? The blue-haired examinee asked, in a tone Izuku didn't like. He wasn't asking out of curiosity but from the same location that all the other pro heroes went to when they realized how much Izuku relied on support equipment.

"I could still hold my own," Izuku said, as he closed his backpack and set it after the bench. He stood up and began walking away from the blue-haired examinee. He dealt with that attitude from enough pro heroes, he didn't need it from someone who was trying to be a pro hero.

Izuku forcefully closed his backpack and then leaned it against the tree. Izuku stood up and looked the blue-haired kid in the eyes, ready to rip him a new one. However, before Izuku could say anything, Present Mic's voice yelled, "Begin."

Izuku froze, just as everyone else did. No countdown, no notice, just start. Izuku was quicker to react than everyone else, as he got over the confusion faster by directing his quirk to his mind. With a clear thought forming in Izuku's mind he took off to the big door that was not open a few seconds ago. Izuku dashed through the frozen examinee and made it to the inside of the fake city.

Hold on! The exam area was a whole fake city. How could UA possibly afford to build not just one fake city but six for each exam area?

Not getting distracted by that, Izuku came across a 1-pointer. Now it was time to see how his equipment held up against something that was built by someone who had years of experience and the funds to build anything. Izuku lifted his right arm and with a flex of his finger, power built up in the repulsor. After a second the energy was unleashed into a blast that rocketed towards the 1-pointer and hit it in its chest. The attack hit and then quickly burnt a hole through the robot.

Izuku's eyes went a little wide as he realized that was not 1 or 2%, he had instinctively increased his power to 5 % to make sure he had destroyed the robot. Yet Izuku barely had time to make the change as two more 1-pointers came around the corner as if spurred towards Izuku by the sounds of battle. Izuku raised both of his hands and unleashed too much attack. The energy burst hit the robots but did not burn as the first robot had.

Izuku quickly stepped forward, unleashed two more attacks and managed to hit the heads of the two 1-pointers. As their heads melted away, the robots began to shake until they stopped and fell to the ground.

That's three, as Izuku began to keep track of points. The baseline of who was accepted and who was denied was unknown, but Izuku would like to know how close he was to either. Izuku then noticed that other people were starting to file into the city. They were beginning to attack the robots in the surrounding area. Izuku knew he needed to go to a new location to find more robots, so he began running down the street.

Izuku ran down the street until he heard some noise coming from an alleyway. As that couldn't possibly be anything else besides robots, Izuku turned and headed into the alleyway. And just as he disappeared from the corner a three-pointer suddenly appeared and tried to punch him. On pure instinct, Izuku managed to dodge the attack, but as he raised his hand the robot attacked again.

The three-pointer's speed was faster than the others, causing Izuku to panic. Izuku shifted his arm to block the attack, but the three-pointer's speed wasn't the only improvement. As the robot's fist connected with Izuku's gauntlets, Izuku felt the wireframe quickly bend and deform. Then Izuku was sent flying down the alleyway. As Izuku hit the ground he used his gauntlets the best he could to protect his arm.

Once has stopped sliding Izuku got to his knee and saw that luckily his gauntlets weren't fully broken. The left one had taken the most damage and probably only had a few shots left, while the right one was only slightly damaged. Yet this made Izuku wish he had added some kind of armor over the gauntlets. To provide some protection to himself and the repulsors. Yet he had been so focused on building the repulsors he hadn't worked on anything else from his father's blueprints. Izuku cursed himself as he got to his feet.

Izuku's vision was still a little fuzzy so he took a deep breath and the world came back into focus. He looked down the alleyway and saw the 3-pointers, it was staring back at him as if to taunt him. His vision went a little red as he looked at it. Without a second thought, Izuku yelled and rushed forward.

Now knowing about its enhanced speed, Izuku easily dodged the robot's punches. He launched himself out of the way of the attack and landed on a dumpster. He used it to springboard over the 3-pointers. Izuku's plan was to land behind the 3-pointer and attack it from behind, but as Izuku landed he was attacked again. Izuku raised his right arm to block and managed to keep his feet under him as he was pushed back. As he stopped Izuku rolled his shoulder then rushed forwards.

This time instead of jumping away, Izuku slid under the 3-pointer's arm and slid under its stomach. Izuku stopped underneath the 3-pointer and laid both of his hands flat against its underbelly. Green lightning jumped across Izuku's body as his quirk poured into his arc reactor and shot down into his repulsor. "50%"

Immediately both repulsors gave a near-blinding light and a high-pitched whine before blasting the three-pointer in its weak spot. The metal of the robot groaned for a few seconds, and then the robot melted in half and fell to the ground around Izuku. Izuku's shoulders hit the ground and it felt like they almost became dislocated. Izuku screamed out in pain, as he fell to the ground. He struggled to catch his breath, as the pain shot through his shoulders, along with the crash causing a massive headache to cloud Izuku's mind.

He could only lay on the ground, breathing through the pain. He lay on the ground until the PA system turned on and said, "1 minute remaining."

How long had Izuku been resting on the ground? He only had a minute left and he only had 6 points. Fighting through the pain, he got up and looked around. He needed to find some robots to destroy, but all the ones in his vicinity had been destroyed. Suddenly he felt the ground begin to rumble. He looked down the street he was standing on, just in time to have a wave of examinees run past him. Though they weren't enough to cause the ground to rumble.

However, the giant robot behind them was enough to shake the ground. Izuku froze as he looked at the robot, its shadow covering most of the surrounding area. As several students ran past him, Izuku felt panic enter his mind. Telling his body to move, to run away, to get to safety. Yet he was paralyzed with fear, he couldn't move and was going to be crushed by the giant robot. Izuku tried to move, but his body wasn't responding, and then a small voice reached his ears.

"Someone, please help. I'm stuck." the voice called out. It was full of fear and terror and pain, the same of him.

Izuku looked down the street and noticed a girl with brown hair and pink cheeks pinned to the ground by some debris. She appeared to be trying to grab it with her hand, but she couldn't fully reach it. Izuku looked back up at the 0-point robot. It was only a few meters away, while he was only a few feet away.

He always wanted to be a hero, to protect and rescue others. To be a beacon of peace and hope. The people always talked about how the top heroes showed early signs of being amazing. They were always stronger than those around them, better than those around them. Izuku might never be that, but he wasn't going to give up because of that.

Izuku couldn't think straight as he felt his body begin to move toward the girl. He weaved through some debris, then slid to a stop next to the girl. He gripped the debris the best he could with his broken gauntlets. However, without the whole exoskeleton, it was too heavy for him to lift it and free the girl. Suddenly he felt himself standing in a large shadow. He looked up and saw the 0-pointed foot right about them so he chuckled a nervous laugh.

Izuku knew this was probably the end of it. He was going to get crushed, along with the girl. He had worked hard to get where he was. He worked so hard on his mission to become a hero, but now he was going to die. He would never become a hero. Everyone in his past was right, he and his useless quirk could never become a hero. He had wasted his life chasing an impossible dream.

No, Izuku couldn't allow himself to think like he couldn't afford to doubt himself now. Too many times in the past he had denied himself his dream. If he stopped now and gave up then he might never pick it back up again. He had been so close to doing it before, but now he had people supporting him. His mother, Mei and her parents, all wanted to see Izuku become a hero. It wasn't no longer just his dream, but the wish of those around him. Izuku couldn't give up now.

This wasn't the end for him, just the new first step.

Izuku let go of the debris and pointed both of his palms up. "100%." Both repulsors and arc reactor glow a bright green before a large energy blast is emitted from Izuku's hand. The attack shot up and connected with the 0-pointer's foot, disintegrating it almost instantly. Izuku let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding, but took a sharp breath with the 0-pointer braced itself. The massive robot then began to reach down towards Izuku and the girl.

The girl began trying to free herself, with even a pink aura forming around her before blinking out. While Izuku froze as he looked up. He tried to think of what to do then his newest trick came to mind. It was a relatively new addition he had made to his arc reactor, allowing it to be sort of a last-resort repulsor.

With nothing else to do Izuku dropped his hands and puffed out his chest, "Unibeam, 100%" Green Lightning traveled across Izuku's bone, highlighting his veins before condensing down into his arc reactor. The arc reactor glowed green before unleashing a large green beam, which had the sparking of lightning travelling down it. The beam shot through the 0-pointers' hand and green lightning arced over its entire body. All the lights on the 0-point turned green, while the lighting of the surrounding building flicked on and off, and then the beam reappeared coming out of the 0-pointer's head.

Izuku stopped yelling and the light show stopped. Smoke rose off the crisp 0-pointer body as it crumbled into a black charred mess. Izuku took a breath and pain shot through his body then quickly disappeared. Izuku collapsed to the ground, nearly empty. The Unibeam attack had taken more out of him than he was expecting.

"The physical portion of the entrance exam is over. You will receive your exam score in two weeks. If any of you are in need of medical attention please wait as medical assistants are being deployed." Present Mic said, a pair of robots arrived and lifted the rubble of the girl. She was lifted onto a stretcher and taken away to be healed.

Izuku sat on the ground catching a breath with an elder pro hero Izuku recognized as Recovery Girl walked up to him, "Are you alright dear, an attack like this must have been quite exhausting."

"I'm fine, just need to rest," Izuku said, picking him off the ground and walking back towards the entrance. As he walked he felt a cold feeling coming over his upper lip, touching it he drew his finger down and saw that they were covered in blood. He quickly wiped his fingers and nose, just as he noticed several students looking at him and the burnt hole in his shirt. How many of them had seen his final attack, how easily he had seemed to have taken down the 0-pointer. He paid no attention to them as he walked out of the fake city and over to the bench that hid his backpack. He walked over to the tree from before and slipped off his broken gauntlets and arc reactor. He slipped them into his backpack, then fished out a taser and held it against his chest.

He didn't like it, but it had become a good way for him to replenish his body's electricity when he used too much. Pressing the button, Izuku felt the electricity jump from the metal prongs of the taser into his body. After a bit, Izuku fit normal and he tossed the taser back into the backpack.

He slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked to a bus to take him back to the main area. As the bus travelled to the front of UA's campus, Izuku took a small power nap. After being dropped off, Izuku shouldered his backpack and began to work his way to the support department exam. As he walked he realized how screwed he was. He had only scored 6 points as the 0-pointer robots gave him just that, zero points. Sure it had looked cool, but present Mic had let everyone know that destroying it was only useful to show our one's quirk. He had wasted so much time recovering and 6 points weren't going to be enough for the practical exam.

So even if he had aced the written exam, which he wasn't 100% sure he had, he wasn't going to get into UA.

Izuku cursed himself for failing so badly. He knew his only chance now was to go to a normal high school then hope for Tokyo U. Izuku reached the waiting area for the support course and waited for Mei to return. As he waited he sat down and leaned after the wall. After a bit, he pulled out a notebook and looked at the design he had for a full suit of armor.

But now that seemed like a far-off dream, as at Tokyo U he won't be given any kind of grant to build his armor. At least not until he was in his third year. He sighed as he pulled out a pencil and worked on the helmet. As he worked on the shape, a UA teacher walked up to him.

"Are you lost, little buddy?" Izuku looked up and saw that it was Powerloader. If Izuku wasn't so depressed he would have asked for a signature.

"Actually I just came from the hero exam and now I'm waiting for my friend that's doing the support course entrance exam." Izuku explained, as he put the pencil on his ear and closed the notebook.

"Hero exam, how did it go?' Powerloader asked. It was hard to see his face, but Izuku got the impression that Powerloader was smiling.

"Not good, Sir. A robot broke my repulsors within the first few minutes, then I exhausted myself until the 0-pointer. I had to use my unibeam to destroy it." Izuku shivered at the recent memories. He started rubbing his wrists, and they started to feel sore. He had trained tirelessly and worked on his equipment every day and he used all of his quirks to fight. But in the end, it didn't matter, he had lost. Izuku wiped the tears that were starting to form on the edge of his eyes.

"Wait, you destroyed a 0-point robot. What for?" It was rare for an examinee to destroy a 0-pointer. For two reasons, the first being that they generally run away from it. Second Powerloader made the 0-pointers tough, meaning even if an examinee attacked it, they would have to be pretty strong to even dent it.

"A girl was stuck and was going to be crushed," Izuku explained, a small happy thought that he had managed to save someone. Maybe the Hero course teachers would take pity on him and give him a second chance.

"Repulsor, unibeam. Those don't exactly sound like ultimate moves." Powerloader had a curious look on his face, "What exactly are they?"

"Equipment, I built to use my quirk." Izuku grabbed his backpack and pulled out his busted equipment. Just looking at them reminded Izuku how hard had tried but how easy he had failed. He handed them to Powerloader who looked them over with a curious eye.

"These look familiar." Powerloader looked at the palms on the gauntlets, memories filling his head as he did so, "Hey kid if you can fix these within the next ten minutes and show them to me? I'm willing to put your name down for the support course." Powerloader handed back the equipment.

Izuku's face lit up, "You really mean it." He had just failed the hero course, but if he could get into the support course, he would still be going to UA. Plus he would be in the same class as Mei. And UA was a private school, the teacher could run their class any way they saw fit. If Izuku impressed Powerloader enough then he could get the money and supplies to build his armor.

"Even with these busted, I can tell they're advanced engineering. Get them working and show me their power, and I'll consider it. You can use my room. It should have all the equipment you need." Powerloader said with a nod.

Izuku held back his excitement as he slipped his stuff into his backpack, then pushed himself up and off the wall. He followed Powerdloader down the halls to his main office. It was a standard workshop, though it was organized between mechanical, electrical and bio-engineering. Everything was put in its place, making it hard to lose anything. Everything was clean and perfectly reflected the overhead lights.

Izuku figured it would take Mei less than ten minutes to turn the place into a mess, maybe even less.

"Remember ten minutes. Try not to set anything on fire. I've already had to deal with five of those today." Powerloader said, closing the door behind him. Izuku sighed as he looked around, still working on his excitement. And as he had learned over the years the best use of this kind of excitement was to direct it at something.

Izuku might have failed the hero entrance exam, but he still had a chance to get into Ua through the support department. Izuku looked down at his backpack, either way he would need to fix his equipment, might as well use his excitement to get it done quickly

And that's chapter 6.

I've read a few fanfics that had Izuku as Iron man and either he has the whole suit before the entrance exam. Allowing him to completely ace it, or he doesn't even try for the hero course. Going straight to the support course.

My problem with the first option, usually the building of the suit feels rushed. I myself only gave Izuku six month to build the suit, but he didn't complete it. He barely had the gauntlets built and even then it wasn't enough to pass. Sure if Izuku had the full suit it would be easy to pass the exam. I hadn't come across a story where Izuku does have the full suit and still fails, I think we can all agree what ever BS reason the author comes up with isn't good enough. Sure in canon if Izuku had control of One for All, even just 5%, he would easily get a top score. But from storying telling point the Entrance exam is to show Izuku where he struggles.

For the second option, just go straight to the support course. The whole point of Izuku's character is trying to become a hero no matter his struggles. Even before One for All Izuku was going to try and take the entrance exam. He even states in in the first episode, One for All just helped him pass. So to me Izuku giving up and not even trying, just feel wrong

So in the end Izuku failed the hero entrance exam, but his actions are going to be remembered by some. Now he gets to try his hand at the support entrance exam, will he be able to fix his equipment in time and demonstrate them to Powerloader?
