He hadn't slept at all, being too nervous and having too many thoughts rolling around his brain. And now he was paying the price for it, not even bothering to turn off the alarm clock that was ringing next to him and giving him a headache.

He just slapped it off his nightstand, sending it flying off and smashing against the wall next to his door. Leaving a big damn hole. He groaned in defeat. 'What a way to start the day.' Giving up, he finally sat up on his bed and rubbed at his crusty, bloodshot eyes with the palms of his hands.

'Today really is going to suck, I can feel it.' And he didn't mean the Exam, while he was fairly sure he could ace the Theoretical Exam, the problem was staying awake until the Practical Exam, which was an hour after the Theoretical was finished.

'Sometimes big problems require big solutions.' he mused, walking towards the mini-fridge he kept in the corner of his room for some late night snacks and his secret weapon for shitty days like today, when he needed some fuel to keep himself awake.

It was called "The Mighty Energy Drink" and on the tin can was of course, featured the #1 Hero, All Might. 'Still can't believe he allowed this.' He mused, opening the mini-fridge and grabbing 2 cans and after cracking them open, he downed them one after the other, barely being able to enjoy the cherry taste because he had wasted enough time already and needed to hurry up.

He dunked his face in water to try to wake up and looked at himself in the mirror. 'If you discount the heavy eyebags and bloodshot eyes, I look like a perfectly normal Hero Course student hopeful.'

He tried a smile in the mirror but cringed afterwards at the terrible results. 'I really should get a haircut, and practice smiling some more.'

He clapped his face with his hands to get out of the funk. 'Right, enough of that, time for breakfast.' He exited the bathroom and rushed downstairs to the kitchen.

"Morning Ma!" He greeted as soon as he saw his mother, who was cooking breakfast.

"Good morning Izuku." She replied, turning off the stove and rummaging through a cabinet for a couple of plates and glasses. "Did you sleep well?" She asked with a smile.

It was a trick question, one which he normally would have been able to sidestep, but his brain cells hadn't fully woken up yet. So he opened his mouth and made the impression of a fish at feeding time.

"Buh?" Once he realized what the question was, he tried to backpedal to no avail. "I mean, I slept like a rock, you know me Ma!" His dice roll for a saving throw had rolled an 1. Critical Miss.

'Idiot.' He cursed internally.

His mother squinted her eyes and hummed thoughtfully. "Is that right? So those red stains on your pajamas are not from a certain energy drink?" The shark went in for the kill.

'Are you kidding me!?' He screamed to himself, looking down at his shirt. And sure enough, there were a few stains of liquid belonging to the energy drink, which he'd likely obtained by hastily drinking and not paying attention to what he was doing.

"Well? How many did you drink?" His mother asked pleasantly. She was still prepping the breakfast plates, alongside interrogating him.

"Uh, you know me Ma, I wouldn't do anything as terrible as having a couple of Mighty Energy's before bed." He frantically prayed that his bluff worked, after all, it wasn't a lie, he hadn't drank any energy drinks before bed.

"Uh-huh, let's check shall we?" She was totally calling his bluff. And then she made a gripping gesture with her right hand and looked to the ceiling.

He knew what was about to happen next. And after a few seconds he was proven right, because thanks to his mother's Quirk 'Attraction of Small Things', she'd dragged downstair the 2 cans of the energy drink he'd just drank from the trash can on his room.

And they had come through the hole in his wall, unfortunately, because he could see a couple of wood chips that had pierced the tin cans. And if he could see, so could his mother, as the cans came to a stop before her, hovering in the air and dropping sawdust onto their breakfast.

"Did you make a hole in the wall?" She asked sweetly, with a smile that promised pain.

He just groaned and smacked his head against the table a few times, trying to pass out.

He was unsuccessful.

"Good luck sweetie! You can do it!" His mother saw him off with a fist pump and a blinding smile of total confidence in him.

He grabbed his sneakers and put them on before hastily saying goodbye and rushing off, he really, really couldn't afford to be late. And with Villains running around all over the place, you'd never knew what could happen. The last thing he needed was his train getting delayed because of some dumb villain.

The walk to the train station was short and sweet, but he did see Katsuki waiting for the train too, so he just waited till mostly everyone had boarded before boarding himself. Sleep deprivation and the overall annoyance he felt at the moment would probably have ended badly if he and Katsuki bumped into one another today of all days, even if Explodey had been mostly docile for the past few monhts.

'Well, as docile someone like him can be. Bet he's probably afraid of getting a black mark on his student record for real.' He snickered at the thought. 'Can't believe that threat was the one that struck fear in him for once.'

Finding a seat was tempting, but if he sat down, there was a big chance of him totally passing out, so he just leaned back on a window whilst standing up, killing time on his phone till he arrived at his stop.

There were always rumours online about the U.A. Entrance Exam, and while the specific questions for the Theoretical Exam were switched up every year, as long as oneself wasn't a complete dunce, then one could pass by just checking out the tests of the previous years.

He completed it easy enough and put his pencil down, waiting for the exam to finish and trying to ignore Katsuki, who was just 2 seats to his left, and was glaring a hole on his head just because he dared to finish the exam before him. He could actually hear the teeth grinding in the silence of the exam room.

'He's really going to need a visit to the dentist sooner rather than later.'

He was just sooooo tired, and there was still like half an hour left before the allotted time was done, so, a small nap couldn't hurt right?

He was totally wrong, because he was awakened quite rudely.

"TIME TO HAND IN YOUR ANSWER SHEETS, LISTENERS!" Izuku winced in annoyance, of course the loud Present Mic had to be their exam proctor. He just sighed and passed down his sheet to the student in the row below his, impatiently waiting till everyone was done.

'This 30 minute nap was worthless, I just woke up in an even worse mood.' He checked his reflection on his phone, and not only was he pissed off, he also looked like a zombie.

'Food. Now' he thought as his stomach growled in protest. 'Yep, acting like a zombie too.'

The queue to exit the auditorium seemed endless, but it was interesting to observe the Mutation-Type Quirks of the other student-hopefuls. The most interesting one was a student who had a speech bubble from comics as a head, it looked completely absurd, but he was really intriged. And not only him, but another male student with a cartoon-ish bird head, a girl with green vines for hair, an invisible girl... it was endless! So many Quirks to study and to learn how to beat.

'That is, if they pass...' He mused as he finally got out of the auditorium in search of a vending machine, and since unfortunately, they weren't fully fledged students as of yet, they wouldn't be fed by the legendary Lunch Rush.

It was obvious that U.A. had a cutthroat entrance exam where many people failed. Anyone could answer half-decently a Theoretical Exam, but the trial by fire would be the Practical Exam.

And it was very telling how impossible it was to get any kind of intel about the practical, as if U.A. or at least the H.P.S.C. had people constantly scrubbing the internet and deleting any mentions of the practical exams of the hero academies.

'Either that, or it's all just a gigantic prank by the upperclassmen who want us to suffer as they did, because there is also zero information from word-of-mouth.' His feet finally carried him to a vending machine that wasn't pillaged by the other students.

'And I only had to walk to the other side of the campus.' He sighed and took out a few hundred yen from his pocket, and looked at the possible choices. 'No, no, no, ew, screw you melon bread.' It was utterly frustrating, mostly sweets, and that fucking melon bread.

He ended up sitting down next to the vending machine and banged his head against it, wishing he hadn't been an idiot and at least taken some food from his house, but the interrogation from his mom made him run away in fear of her wrath.

'And thus, now I pay the price.' He thought miserably.

But his suffering wasn't done, as he noticed too late that someone was talking to him while he was banging his head against the vending machine.

"-re you listening? Hello? Earth to Greenie?" It was a girl, with dark purple hair, styled in a spiky female bob cut, she was somewhat short and slender, dressed in her own school's uniform. But the most striking part of her was her Quirk, they were earphone jacks, which coincidentally he hadn't seen when he was checking out the Mutation Quirks of the other students earlier in the auditorium. Yep, aaaaand now she was glaring at him. "Done yet? Y'know it's very rude to stare at other people like that."

"U-Uh? N-No I didn't mean to stare!" She narrowed her eyes and glared harder. He fell back against the vending machine once again and sighed in defeat. "I'm sorry, I just thought your Quirk looked interesting..." He had been scolded many times by the teachers and made a pariah by his peers due to his "creepy" interest in other people's Quirks, so he readied himself for it to be the same this time.

His heartbeat had sped-up like crazy, Kyoka thought, but to be fair, he wasn't really ogling her, maybe he really did have an interest in other people's Quirks? And he looked like just another student dead on his feet. So she decided to throw him a bone.

"Look dude, it's fine, I was just playing with you." She said chuckling, and even smiled slightly for good measure. "Sooo, are you okay? You don't look so hot." He really didn't, his wavy forest green hair was matted down with sweat, and his equally forest green eyes were a bit bloodshot. She didn't even want to mention outloud the gigantic purple eye-bags he had.

She heard his heartbeat slowly settle down and he sighed, finally looking up at her. He was cute, in a dorky sort of way. She didn't notice it at first, but he had a small clump of freckles on both cheeks that made a diamond pattern.

He smiled too, and stood up, dusting his trousers off any dirt before bowing his head slightly. "Sorry about that. But I really like learning about other people's Quirks, it's basically a hobby of mine." He replied, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "And yes, I know I look terrible, but to be fair, I didn't sleep much today."

She nodded. "I get you. I was super nervous today for the Theoretical Exam, never been much of a study whiz." She twirled one of her earphone jacks, which had elongated, onto her finger.

It was a nervous tick, she never had been much of a people's person, and she knew her blunt demeanor sometimes put people off. So she liked to spin around her earphone jacks to try to calm down and get rid of her stress. And talking to other people was REALLY stressing.

'Don't need another miserable school experience, Junior High was enough.' She thought, furrowing her brows. 'And Mom did say I needed to try to speak to other people more, so might as well start here.'

"O-Oh, right. So... how does your Quirk work? Are they real earphone jacks?" he asked excitedly, with bright, shining eyes. She could tell now that he reaaaaally was earnest about Quirks at least.

"Yep, they work exactly like earphone jacks, and not only do they work with electronics, but I also can stick into to surfaces, like a wall, and hear what's going on the other side." She replied, throwing him a smirk. She was really proud of her Quirk. "They can also be used to do this..." She didn't do anything for a moment, making him lean forwards in anticipation, before one of her jacks suddenly extended and poked him in the forehead.

Which did nothing, save for the jack being deflected back into her face. "Yowch!" She rubbed her nose in discomfort. "What was that?" It didn't hurt too much, but it was really unexpected.

He waved his hands in panic and tried to apologize. "I'm so sorry!" He said, bowing his head repeatedly. "But it's something my Quirk does, I have a sort energy barrier covering my whole body and it deflects back any attacks, but also-" And thus she lost him to a muttering spree.

Kyoka palmed her face and tried to center herself. Okay, so that was a thing, and it sounded like an amazing Quirk, but the ramblings were starting to give her a headache.

"Look uh? What was your name again?" She dangled the bait to try to stop his muttering, and he perked up in response.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya..." He trailed off awkwardly, scratching the back of his head in obvious discomfort, and she could tell he also suffered from anxiety. "And again, I'm really sorry about my Quirk."

She chuckled in reply and waved her hand off. "Don't sweat it dude, it's my own fault, and I was the one that tried to prank you." She spun her jacks into her fingers once again, not feeling as uncomfortable as before, but not quite at ease either. As stilted and awkward the whole encounter and the conversation was, she could tell they were settling into some sort of normal conversation. It was working.

She took a deep breath before continuing. "Name's Kyoka Jiro, and I'm freaking starving, so lemme grab something to eat and we can continue this riveting conversation." She smirked once again.

He laughed in reply, and moved out of the way, more at ease than before. But he still had a sulky face on."By all means, I'm starving too, but this machine sucks."

She walked forward to scan the contents of the machine and quickly saw the main issue he had. "Don't like sweets? Sucks to be you dude, but I'm gladly going to be chomping into this." She typed in the number for a chocolate waffle, inserting a few hundred yen, and after pulling the waffle out of the machine she tore off the wrapper and took a big bite out of it. She closed her eyes and hummed in delight at the chocolatey flavor. "Tasty. I really needed that, those math questions really killed me, and my brain's running on empty."

He huffed and clucked his tongue. "It's not that, I've been stressing over the Practical Exam, even though I know my Quirk is strong on many situations, but if I somehow fail, it's over for me." He lowered his gaze to the floor in thought. "It's U.A. or bust."

Kyoka whistled in response. "That's ballsy dude, and not gonna lie, I signed up for the Shiketsu Entrance Exam besides U.A. so if today I suck too much then I got a second chance on another prestigious school." She munched a couple more times on the waffle before polishing it off and tossing the wrapper into a bin. "I'm no doctor, but you really should eat something, it'll settle your anxiety too." She saw the slack jawed look he sent her and laughed, he was too easy to read. "Gotta go now, see you later Greenie, we got this." She mock saluted and turned around, walking away.

Izuku still had his mouth open, watching her go, before finally collapsing back on his ass and breathing shakily. 'I talked to a girl... And I didn't make a fool out of myself.' He slowly stood up and tried to get his breathing under control, glancing at his watch and noticing that the time for their break was almost over, and then glared at the vending machine before huffing.

'Fine, you bastard, you win this round, and not like I'm doing it because a girl told me to.' He typed the numbers for one of the banes of his existence. That damn melon bread. 'At least I can grab a Mighty Energy Drink as well.'

He tore off the wrapper of the melon bread and bit out a big chunk out of it, before shuddering in disgust and taking a big gulp of Mighty Energy to wash it down. He had to finish the food whilst running back to the auditorium, thanks to the stupid idea of going to the ass-end of campus on his search for vending machines.

He arrived with a few minutes to spare and sat down impatiently, and glancing around, it seemed like most people around him were the same, anxiously waiting for Present Mic to get on with it.

The flamboyant MC stepped out onto a small stage, and a screen the size of the entire wall projected behind him. "This is it Listeners! The info you've waiting for!" He pulled a smartphone out of his jeans and with a couple of taps the projector started to show pictures... of robots.

Izuku groaned. 'Really? I was stressing over this?' He rubbed the bridge of his nose in complete disbelief while Present Mic kept babbling on about the point value of the robots, and about the Zero Pointer. Izuku perked up at this. 'Hm, this looks like a decent challenge, and it should be at least as tall as a three-story building. I wonder if I can destroy it with a single attack...'

The MC answered some more questions before shooing them off into buses that would take them to their examination sites, which were basically small faux cities. 'It's not a bad idea.' He thought, taking a seat on the bus. 'Some people need space to use their Quirks effectively.' And that musing brought back the words of his Junior High teacher. 'Those with Quirks that could not contribute anything meaningful against a Villain in a fight should really do something else.'

The bus arrived to their faux city without much fanfare, and it was quiet, mostly everyone else besides him was sweating, with nervous looks plastered on their faces. 'I feel bad for them, with such little confidence, the outliers like Katsuki are going to stomp all over them and hog all the points.'

When they got down from the bus, a female teacher was waiting for them. She was tall and slender, with navy blue hair speckled with blonde bangs that simulated a spiral, as well as hazel colored eyes that had black rings around the iris.

Izuku hummed in thought. 'I wonder who she is. It's well-known that Midnight teaches at U.A. but that's definitely not her.'

She clapped twice once all the students had stepped down from the bus and gathered before her.

"Students, the Practical Exam will start in 2 minutes, be sure to stretch well, and get your Quirks ready if they need to be warmed up." Cue mass panic, but Izuku closed his eyes and ignored them all, focusing on the vectors of the wind, and the vectors of earth that were constantly in movement.

'I can do this.' he clenched his teeth in determination and slowly started to spin the wind around himself, trying to get a measure on how much wind vectors he had to use for a big jump.

He opened his eyes after the 120 second count, and saw the female teacher raise her arm in the air, at the same time that the big doors of the faux city were opening.

"Get ready... aaaaand GO!" She shouted, bringing her arm down. But the students were frozen on their tracks, not expecting the sudden start. "What are you waiting for? GO!" She yelled once again, breaking them out of their stupor and into a mass stampede, running off, shouting and fighting to get to the best posible spots.

But Izuku did not move, focusing on speeding up the wind vectors, and the sudden twister that formed around him making the teacher round to him in shock.

"What are you doing? You should be going in!" She reprimanded him, but Izuku paid no mind to that, instead asking a question he had been ruminating since he steped out of the bus.

"Say Sensei, how big is this entire faux city?" The question caught the teacher flat-footed, who stammered to reply before Izuku continued. "I just want to time my jump correctly, as to not overshoot it."

Shaking her head and regaining her bearings she finally replied. "It's roughly as big as six city blocks... But why?" She clucked her tongue at him and checked her watch, noting that 3 minutes had already passed. "You're going to fail at this rate, and everyone is fighting for the easy points by now." She told him, pursing her lips in disapproval. "Someone else could have used this chance to become a Hero Course student, you're wasting this opportunity."

Izuku laughed in response. "Nah I'd win." He cracked his neck both ways before crouching down in a running start position. "I was just being polite and giving the other students a chance." And with that he rushed off, using the wind he had gathered as a springboard platform.

The resulting sonic boom broke all the glass windows from the bus and the nearby faux buildings, as well as knocking the teacher off her feet, leaving her on the ground bewildered and with her ears ringing.

She wildly clicked the alarm device all teachers had, and not 3 seconds later she got a call on her earpiece, quickly clicking the answer button. "Kurose? Kurose! Hello?" It was the deep but squeaky voice of Principal Nezu.

"Principal! Are you on the Proctor's room?" She asked frantically and out of breath.

"Why yes, is there anything wrong? You sound quite ruffled." Chuckled the Principal, and she could hear the clicking of the keyboard he was using to control the drones and cameras. "Did something explode next to you?"

She looked to her right, and sure enough there was a crater from the spot where the green haired student had rushed off. "Nevermind that, I need you to check on this student-" She wasn't allowed to finish, as an earthquake rumbled nearby, knocking down some buildings, and herself on her ass, once again. "What the-"

The Principal cut her off, laughing merrily. "Ah, I see what you mean. Do come to the Proctor's room and you will see for yourself." She grunted in response before cutting off the call, and jumped into one of the electric golf carts that the teachers could use to move around the examination sites, intent on getting to the Proctor's room before the exam finished.

Izuku had never been so high up in the air, not counting visits to high-rise buildings like Might Tower, of course. If his estimations were right he was about 20 meters up in the air, and very slowly falling towards the ground, and he could observe the carnage that was going on perfectly.

Students going nuts at the entrance and middle parts of the city, destroying any robot that came upon their path and even kill-stealing robots from others. 'Yikes, that's not very heroic, I sure hope they don't get any points docked for that.' He thought sarcastically.

Slowly gliding down he figured out where he wanted to land. 'The furthest part of the faux city should do.' It was a strategy he had come up with on a whim, assuming that people would get bogged down towards the middle of the faux city by the robots, and so far his assumptions were correct. The furthest part of the city was empty of students and full of robots still.

Once he was above his landing zone he let go of the vectors controlling the twister that kept him in the air, and pulled them towards his feet. And he fell.

After a few seconds, it was like a bomb had gone off, a big fissure opening in-between buildings and swallowing them. Robots too. Nearby, most students fell down thanks to the sudden earthquake, some robots even directly exploding. It was pandemonium.

But Izuku's plan had worked. He had used wind vectors to propel himself down and strike the ground like a meteor. It was absolutely overkill, but he did not want to leave the slightest doubt as to whether he had passed or not.

So he executed the second part of his plan, and after sticking a three-point landing, he punched the ground with the fist that was still in the air. And one could argue that the follow-up carnage was even worse than the earthquake.

He had taken control of the earth vectors hiding under the concrete and ripped them out of the ground into two meter-tall concrete spikes, skewering any and all robots that were within his chosen range.

He slowly rose up from his crouched position and breathed deeply, dusting his hands off. Trying to keep his facial expression even, but his eyebrow was twitching in disbelief at the absurd amounts of property damaged he had caused.

'I was thinking of making this a Super Move, but this is too much, it needs to be toned down. A lot.'

"THREE MINUTES LEFT!"

'Ah well, looks like we're wrapping it up.' He sat down on the ground and surveyed the massive fissure that split the ground nearby, alongside all the robots skewered on spikes amongst collapsed buildings. 'I really, really hope I'm not getting expelled even before I become a student...'

It was only when the exam had ended, that he remembered that he forgot about the Zero Pointer.

"Damn it." he swore quietly, before groaning and slumping in the ground.

In the Proctor's room, the teachers were absolutely floored. And Principal Nezu was cackling like a mad-man. Poor Cementoss was straight up crying.

"My city! NOOOOO!" He flopped off backwards on his chair and despaired at all the work he was going to have to do to repair it.

Eraserhead rubbed the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Ugh, shut up, Ken. It's going to be bad enough with all the complaints we're going to get. Honestly what a problem child."

Nezu re-winded the video in slow motion from the moment Izuku had jumped into the city, leaving a crater behind and a very flustered teacher on the ground. "Not a very inspiring sight for the heroic rescue hero "Thirteen" eh Kurose?" The only other female teacher, Midnight, teased the space-themed hero.

Said space-themed hero just groaned in embarrasment. "Can a first-year student even be THAT powerful?" It was frankly absurd.

The Principal answered the rhetorical question with glee. "Indeed he can, and that second part with the spikes. Totally brilliant!" He quickly tapped on his keyboard to show the amount of points that had been tallied up from Izuku's Super Move.

"One-hundred and fifty-seven..." Vlad King's jaw was open in disbelief, he then quickly narrowed his eyes and spoke. "Aizawa... I want him, I'll even fight you over this if needed."

Eraserhead huffed in reply. "You think you can wrangle someone like him, Kan?" He then shook his head and grumbled. "I can erase his Quirk if it goes out of control. Needless to say after seeing this, he cannot be left alone. That Quirk needs strict discipline and training, before we bring the H.S.P.C down on our heads."

Vlad King clucked his tongue in defiance and crossed his arms. "Very well, then, I want the second highest scorer from the practical, that other kid with the explosions."

"I agree! Let us do the preliminary student lists for the First Year Hero Course then." The rodent was rubbing his paws in glee. But he was interrupted by another teacher clearing his throat, before he put down his cowboy hat in a table and gave his two cents. "Folks, I getcha, y'all excited and what-not, but shouldn't we wait fer Toshinori? He oughta have an opinion too."

Eraserhead scoffed. "He's with his niece, she's doing the Recommendation Exam. If he isn't here then he doesn't get a say."

Present Mic whistled in response. "Whew, harsh much? What's got your fur all ruffled?" he tried to slap the back of his long-time friend before his hand was stopped by a capture scarf. His smile fell. "Really, Sho?"

The capture scarf released him and its owner just sighed "Leave me be, Hizashi. I've been following this mass kidnapping case for weeks with zero results. I'm pretty annoyed."

Midnight tutted at that. "This again? Do I need to send a maid cleaning service to your house? I bet it's all messy and stinky. Do your poor cats even have enough food?"

The tired teacher didn't bother replying and walked to one of the comfy sofas in the corner of the room, wrapping himself in a yellow sleeping bag. "Wake me up whenever you want to make the Student Lists."

The mood in the room no longer was light, and Present Mic was about to keep arguing, but Midnight cut him off. "Forget about it, Hizashi. Let's just finish up here, we can drag him off to dinner afterwards."

The MC just nodded and sat down, looking at the Principal, who was quickly compiling a list of the top scorers of the Practical Exam. "Aaaaaaand here we go!"

One of the screen projectors came to life and displayed the top 10 scoring students.

Izuku Midoriya: VP: 157; RP: 0; RANK: 1

Katsuki Bakugo: VP: 77; RP: 0; RANK: 2

Eijiro Kirishima: VP: 39; RP: 35; RANK: 3

Ibara Shiozaki: VP: 36; RP: 32; RANK: 4

Itsuka Kendo: VP: 25; RP: 40; RANK: 5

Tenya Ida: VP: 52; RP: 9; RANK: 6

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu: VP: 49; RP: 10; RANK: 7

Fumikage Tokoyami: VP: 47; RP: 10; RANK: 8

Yosetsu Awase: VP: 50; RP: 6; RANK: 9

Asui Tsuyu: VP: 39; RP: 12; RANK: 10

All the teachers sat up straight and paid attention, even the yellow caterpillar. The Principal clapped his hands and looked seriously at all of them. "Let's get to work."

A week later, Izuku was laying down on his bed browsing some forums that were arguing conspiracy theories. It was about All Might, and apparently a user had been calculating the public appearances of the #1 Hero, and had found out that nowadays for the most part, All Might only did about three hours of hero work every day.

Izuku rolled his eyes. 'Absurd, it's not like he's going to retire, but he might be training up a successor though.' He was about to write a very scathing reply to the user when his mom burst into his room.

"IZUKUUUUU! IT'S HERE, YOUR U.A. LETTER!" she skid to a stop before him, panting due to the effort of rapidly climbing the stairs, and handed him the thick sealed envelope with the U.A. symbol. She then smiled and hugged him briefly before stepping out of the room. "I'll leave you with it honey, come downstairs when you're finished."

Izuku closed his eyes and breathed in and out to try to calm his rapidly beating heart. 'It's dumb to worry about it, objectively I'm positive that I've passed.' He decided to get it over with and ripped open the envelope.

A metallic disk and a booklet fell out to the ground. Izuku grabbed the disk and looked at it, scrunching his brow. 'What is this thing?' Then the disk burst to life, and a small hologram appeared.

It was Present Mic, who was making finger guns at him. "Congrats, Listener! Not only did you score a perfect 100% on the Theoretical Exam, but you also scored a whooping 157 Villain Points on the Practical Exam." The MC scratched his cheek and chuckled. "Despite your uh, wide-spread destruction, all of us teachers agreed that it was a genius move to target the robots that were the furthest away. It has never been done before, and thus, Izuku Midoriya, you now hold the highest score in both the Theoretical and Practical Exams. Ever."

A chart popped up showing the names, points and ranks of the top 10 students.

Izuku's heart stopped. 'I scored twice as much as Katsuki!?' He then laughed, louder and longer than he'd ever laughed in his life. It was a good couple of minutes before he got it under control and wiped the tears from his eyes. 'Oh man, he's going to be sooooo pissed. I can't wait to see his face.'

He then resumed the recording and Present Mic continued to debrief him. "It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to U.A.'s First Year Hero Course. Class A." He said with a smirk. "Keep it up and Plus Ultra!" He then chuckled sheepishly. "Just uh, be sure to read that booklet about property damage, and why Heroes should not destroy the urban cityscape when fighting Villains." The MC bowed theatrically before speaking one last time. "This is Present Mic, over and out, Listener!"

Izuku let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. 'It's official, I'm a Hero Course Student...' Joy ran through his whole being, he then jumped to his feet and ran out of his room. "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, I GOT INNNNNN!"

"What the actual FUCK!?" Katsuki raged out. "How did that SHITTY NERD SCORE MORE THAN MEEEEEEE!?" He heard a faint "Language! you damn brat!" come from downstairs but he paid it no mind. He was too angry to pay attention to anything but the fucking nerd and his fucking one-hundred and fifty-seven points. "How? How the fuck did he dooOOOOO IT!?" The hologram disk exploded on his hand and crumbled to bits.

He did breathing exercises to temper his anger until it was just a cold rage on the pit of his stomach, there was no sense on wasting energy now, he needed to train, he needed to get better and utterly destroy the nerd.

"I'll show you... and all those extras too." Katsuki mumbled, before grabbing the two heaviest dumbbells he had and rushed out to the garden to train.

And so here we are, 6k words of bad dialogue and little-to-no action. Please don't kill me.

I know Bakugo seems a bit over-the-top villain and cartoonish but there is a reason for it, he does know that Izuku has a strong Quirk, and ever since Izuku's disastrous Quirk awakening he's been relegated to second place. He is out for blood.

Izuku's high point count is a gimmick to shock the teachers and everyone else, obviously I don't think the exam areas were that big originally either, so I decided to just expand in both size and robots. Accelerator's powers are very, very dumb, so I don't think that what Izuku did was that outrageous.
