"Hirano! Stop sleeping in class!" the teacher throws chalk at the girl sleeping, it hits her right in the head but she does not wake up, everyone starts laughing but the teacher now starts fuming.
"Hirano! I swear if you don't wake up, I will take a point away from you!" the girl's ear twitched and she slowly rose up, her black hair becoming messy as she scratched them, yawning uninterested.
Seeing this, the teacher is now even more angry, and looking at his book before a smile creeps up on his face. "Hirano! What is the answer to Question number 9-"
"3.14 is the value of Pi, As for question 10, it was X^2 + y^2 = 25." She said as she rubbed her eyes, getting used to this by now, the class laughed even harder as the question she answered was correct, meaning she was still listening or at least, learning it long before.
The teacher didn't say anything, only angrily returned to the board and continued teaching. The girl yawn as she look outside, it was a sunny day today, good weather for sport or sleeping, just thinking about the warm sunlight makes her feel sleepy again…
"Furu-chan, don't fall asleep." A whisper from in front of her, a girl with light orange hair was nudging her head lightly.
"I know, Nanachi…it just…sleeping would feel super good right about now." Her voice was slow and soft. As she looked outside with one ear listening to her teacher, suddenly a piece of paper was passed to her, it was a drawing of a suit, it was quite detailed, and it was the costume design, a black costume that went well with her hair and general atmosphere, though she didn't like that it was skintight even though it would make her using her quirk much easier.
"Nanachi…couldn't you design something that is not a skin-tight suit?" She asked slowly as she enjoyed the drawing, but the orange-haired girl didn't say anything, instead, she was now focusing on the class…or at least that was what others thought, she was now drawing a new one.

"Nanachi! Furu-chan! I come to eat together!" As the lunch break started, Furue stared at the girl who opened the door, she had light brown hair, It was Yumichi, and the one following Yumichi was Kosaki-kun, her boyfriend.
The three stay together even in middle school, Hana-chan and Mio-chan go to a different school, as they need to move so she doesn't talk with them anymore. Kosaki-kun quickly goes sit with his friend while Yumichi takes a seat beside Furue, having used to this by now, she just takes the seat from the one next to them, since the owner of that seat is often away for lunch at the cafeteria.
"Ahhh, our middle school time is almost over, how about it, Nanachi, Where will you go to?" Yumichi takes her sandwich and eats it while asking Nanachi about where she wants to go, meanwhile, furue takes the bento and opens it, seeing the note inside makes her smile a bit.
'Do your best Today too! I'm Rooting for you! Ame.' It was a note from Ame-neechan, she got married and is now the owner of the orphanage after Grandpa passed away, she took in much more children than before so she was much busier than even Grandpa before.
Her husband, Nichi-san is a good man, he provides for her with a stable income that is very good, rich even, and he fully supports her in the orphanage.
Aya-nee and Yuzu-nii almost finished college, Aya-nee will go to medical school while Yuzu-nii will try for law school. So right now, only Ame-neechan, Nichi-san, and Furue stay in the orphanage. It wasn't lonely with many kids around though.
"Neeee, Furu-chan! You listen?" She quickly gets back to the present with the calling of Yumichi.
"What is it? I didn't listen." She answered honestly and saw Yumichi getting angrier though it's just normal now.
"See! She often spaces out like this! I don't know why I even be your friend! I ask about your high school admission, you going to try for UA or Shiketsu right? Are you prepared enough?" She asks while nibbling on the sandwich, Furue picks up her chopstick and eyes the missing Karaage that was there before, she looks up to see a grease mark on Nanachi's lip.
"Nanachi…I can see the grease mark." She said before she started eating. "As for the matter of high school, don't worry, I prepared enough, I will pass the written exam, probably not first place but in around 10 or so." she picked up the broccoli and ate it in one bite, hmm…it still good, just like always.
"You have it good huh? You got good head and good body along with good qui- Sorry, I shouldn't say that." Silence looms over the table, but Furue just continues to eat, not stopping at all.
"What?" She asks, seeing her two friends being silent, "I don't mind what you are saying. Come on, you got a better head than me, you always snatch second or third place, though the first place always goes to Sora-san."
"W-wha! Oi! Sora-san is a different beast! I can't compete with her in study! God, she is a genius!" Yumichi said as she quickly finished her sandwich and Nanachi gulped down her soda.
"She right, Sora-chan is a different beast…I heard she going to join Shiketsu and not UA. What do you think, Furu-Chan?" At the question being presented to her by Nanachi, she looks up and smiles.
"She will make it." She answers plain and simple before finishing her bento. The 3 continue their talk until class starts again.
TREMIS
"I'm back!" Furue announces herself loudly, a routine she has grown used to by now. A patch of red hair sticks out of the kitchen then followed by little steps.
"Neechan!" The little girl jumped into her arm and Furue quickly held her up as the little giggle escaped from the girl.
"Welcome back, Furue." This time, an older but familiar voice entered her ears, she still held the child and let her hug as Furue turned her attention to the woman in front of her.
"I'm back, Ame-neechan. What for dinner, tonight?" She asks and lets the child down gently before patting the little girl's head. "Did you help make it, Himari?" the little girl nods.
"It's Ramen! Mama has made the broth since morning!" She chirped out cheerfully before waving her hand lightly to signal for Furue to move closer, she laughed a bit and leaned in closer to let the girl tell her what she wanted. "Mama making the broth but she just bought the pork from the supermarket!" Himari said in a whisper but loud enough for even Ame-neechan to hear.
Furue fake gasped as she looked up, seeing the little tick on her Big sister's head, she decided not to tease her.
They got to a dining room which is now bigger, the orphanage to remodeled after Grandpa passed away, making it much more bigger and able to house many children, now instead of 5 children like before, now it could house up to 10 children and she planned to upgrade them more, or make a separate and bigger house, and this place will turn into a pre-school instead.
In there, the other 8 children are already seated. Waiting for their food, two of them is still too young to eat solid food though and they needs to eat baby food made by Ame-neechan.
She sat down next to a boy, Keigo, he was in elementary school, the same one Furue used to study in, Odonri Elementary School…
I wonder, if Emi-sensei still teaches there, I should go and visit sometime. Furue thought as she felt a sudden weight on her lap, it was Himari, She was not sitting on Furue's lap and her eyes were sparkling.
"Neechan, will you really go to UA?" She asks and Furue nods.
"Um, In just 2 months the exam will start, so Neechan has to prepare a lot." She answered the curious child then the other children started the question session, it was a bit of a daily thing now.
She answers them calmly, and each of them states to be satisfied until Ame-neechan comes out and serves them their dinner. Himari quickly took her seat again and Ame-neechan took the seat beside the 2 young twins to feed them the baby food she made.
Their dinner continues peacefully and uninterrupted. When they finish dinner, she plays with the children for a bit before excusing herself, and saying goodbye to Ame-neechan, she leaves the house and goes into the mountain near the house.
She walked with practice ease, having done this multiple times before when she reached the same clearing she knew that Furue had stopped and dropped her backpack, she took out some items and set it up, it was a target, this time, instead of the usual 10 meters, she increases it by 2 fold, making it into 20-meter target distance.
Taking in a deep breath, she slowly focused, as her hand glowed a bit, she grabbed a stone and before it could break, she sent a wave of tremor at it, flicking it right dead on the center.
"20 meters, and dead on the target, It seems I improve." Furue thought as she grabbed another stone, "By concentrating on the wave of Tremor, I could increase its power but lose the range, and it was harder to control too. But this will do, I can't wait for the Exam." With a smile, she continues her training.
TREMIS
"Good luck!" She waved at Himari who shouted for her, smiling as she walked in, after following a row of other potential students and rivals in a test, she soon found the conference hall, looking at her tags she soon found her seat.
She saw a paper that was in her seat and picked it up, turns out it was a pamphlet for their Exam. She gives them a quick read, it seems the practical exam is a fighting one, the writing exam is already done 3 days before, so They could have the potential students prepare themselves for the Practical Exam.
Just as she read, other people start to flock in and once the seats are full and filled, the light turns off, and then a screen lights up.
"Hey, Everybody! Welcome to My Live! SAY HEY!" A voice she heard on the TV a lot of times before, Voice Hero, Present Mic. he leaned into his ear to hear them yell but…there was only 1 girl who yelled after him which then slowly died down from her embarrassment…
"Thank you! My Listener! Now then! My Examniee Listener! I am here to present you with The Guide to Today's practical exam! Ya Ready!?" His voice was loud, as expected of the voice hero, but his weird mix of English and Japanese made her feel a bit… weirded out.
"You lot are no fun! Did they take in deaf people for the exam?" He said as he coughed out a bit, before returning his attention to them. "Here is how the test will go! You'll be experiencing a 10-minute long 'Mock Cityscrap maneuver!' Bring whatever you want! After this presentation, you will be going to each assigned Location!" he said, and then, the picture on the screen changed, with different letters for different test sites, she was on column C.
"Each site will be filled to the brim with FUAX Villains! Each kind gives a different point, up to 3 points! Use your quirk to disable these Fuax to gain those precious points. That's your goal, understand young Listeners? Of course! Playing some Anti-hero or Attacking other examinees is not allowed! That will go straight to you getting disqualified!" At the words of hurting other examinees, Furue stiffs up…old memories start to cloud her mind but she quickly shakes them away because, in front of her, a student held his hand up.
"Present Mic! I have a question." his voice is a bit laid back. Present Mic gives him a nod so he continues. "It got 4 kinds here, and if only it gives up to 3 points does that mean one of them is an obstacle?" he asked, which then made present Mic smile.
"Correct! Just like the young listener over there said! The last Kind of Fuax Villain is an Obstacle! Well, That is it from me, I will leave you, My great young listener with Our School Motto! The great hero Napoleone Bonaparte once said… 'True heroism is being better than the ills of life itself'. Plus Ultra! Good luck and Go and break some Legs Everybody!" He said and soon, they all departed for their site.
Since Furue is in site C, she goes there and the sight, amazes her, an entire city…was built inside the school grounds. And there are many more of these…as expected, from the school that takes a lot of space.
"Wow, Amazing!"
"It's like a city in there!" Several sounds of the promising future student leak out, admiring the display.
[ START! ]
Furue Heard Present Mic and looking back, seeing the man is on top of the building behind them.
[ What are you waiting FOR?! THE VILLAINS LEAVE NO TIME FOR YOU TO HESITATE! GO! ]
At that remark, she heard loud footsteps echo and when she looked back, all of them were already gone, rushing straight ahead. With a sigh, Furue goes in too but with an unrushed pace.
TREMIS
"Welp, off there go, Everyone is still in a hurry isn't it?" Principal Nezu said as he watched the screen, multiple rushed straight ahead without even thinking and now got ambushed, some got knockout some managed to defeat them.
"There is someone who is still calm in this situation," Sekijiro said, pointing toward 3 participants, one girl was blasting a 3-pointer away with ease destroying them without touching, another girl was sending a wave of energy and destroyed a 2-pointer and the other boy is using a lighter and control the fire, melting the 1-pointer.
"That right! While villains don't give us time to think, keeping a cool head is what differentiates a Pro from a rookie." Nemuri said, looking at the screen, "Though the young and hot-bloodedness is good!"
Before she could continue though, she was cut off by Principal Nezu. "What do you think, Kurose-kun? From the perspective of another quirk with greater destructive potential?"
Kurose looked at the screen, with a little bit of glint in her eyes. "Her control of quirk needs a little bit more work. But If we are real then. She should be around a new Pro hero level or a sidekick."
Nezu nods, looking back at the screen. "Tremor. A dangerous quirk indeed, She could have caused earthquakes easily if she was unable to control them. And we won't know the scale of it either. It a good thing she learned to control them since a child." he said, looking back at the screen.
"But what is more amazing is her willingness to help others, taking her precious 10 minutes to save others who were stuck under the collapse or were in a dangerous position after they got unconscious."
"If we talking about that then, he is better than her." Nishishigi said as his eyes scanned over to another screen, "They are on the same Site but he is saving more people than her, though he didn't get any Robot Points and His use of quirk is…worse, visibility worse. He would not get in Hero class right away but…"
"With enough Training, everyone can become a hero." Nezu finishes his sentence. "Now then! Shall we raise up the stake a bit?"
TREMIS
Clank…
The robot broke down in front of Furue. Now, that is around 61 points total. She thought as suddenly, the ground started to shake, a phenomenon she had grown used to due to the nature of her quirk.
But…it was stronger than her own quirk, then…an ominous shadow loom over her. Furue slowly looked up, to see a giant robot the size of a skyscraper, looming over her as it turned its red eyes forward threateningly.
"You gotta be kidding me…" She mutters out unintentionally and quickly runs away, but then…she sees the destruction… one swing of its hand could destroy the building, making other examinees who are already struggling, struggle even harder, some are trapped under the debris, some are knocked unconscious from accident and even the other point robot was destroyed along with it rampage.
I have to do something. She thought as she turned back, her body, moving by itself quickly found herself in front of the behemoth. I hope this works…and it won't destroy something even more.
She touches the ground, focusing her quirk on one spot. With the trembling sensation, she could spot it immediately.
"Anyone can fly or send me High up?!" She yells out, but no one answers her, but then, something appears at her feet… a face. "W-what the!?"
"I heard you call for help! So I come but I seem to be useless, AHAHAHA!" Then, slowly, he got up from the ground…naked…"Ah! Sorry! My quirk is a bit of Trouble you see!" He laughed as he quickly found something to cover himself, and Furue could do nothing but stare, dumbfounded at what just happened.
A blond guy with blue eyes jumps up from the ground, telling a bad joke, naked then laughing…Furue didn't know what going but when she found herself back in reality, she saw the boy's unwavering smile staring straight at the giant robot.
"W-what are you doing here! With your quirk, It won-"
"You can destroy that thing, right?" He asks. Unfaltering even in danger. Furue couldn't help but be stunned, why is he so fearless?
She quickly shakes her head and focuses. "I can, but if I use it now it would destroy everything around me, I need to get to at least the stomach area."
The boy turns to her and gives her a thumbs up. "Then! There nothing to worry about-" Before he could finish, he was already deep in the ground, gone before Furue could know, but then… A second later Furue felt someone grab her torso, she looked back only to see the same guy now flying, with her as he dragged her torso.
"Holy shit!?" She swore out for the first time in her life, looking at the ground that was becoming smaller and smaller. But right now, Furue mind is racing, she quickly starts thinking and focusing, and instead of fearing the possibility that she would fall down and become one with the ground, Furue instead focuses on the giant robot.
In 3 seconds, we would reach, but there's not enough momentum, He dragging me is killing the momentum.
But Before she could think, that guy suddenly flung her forward, startled by the display, she almost screamed out but then, her mind refocused.
He throws me to increase my momentum! She thought, With this…2…1…0!
Furue reached her target, right on the stomach, before she could hit the robot though, she focused all her power on her palm, growing white with brighter color, before she released them in waves as her hand slammed against the robot roughly.
The wave of tremor pushed against the robot, making it tremble, normally it would do nothing but the wave…went inside the robot, destroying its mechanism from the inside. Soon, the robot's glowing red eyes turn dim, and Furue screams with joy.
"Yes! …ahhhh!?" After her little joy session, reality struck her as the wind hit her face, Furue is now falling from a high that could turn her into a paste.
What do I do! What do I do!? My quirk won't work! I can't make the air tremble!" Her mind is racing with each passing millisecond meaning her death would be nearer. Her mind starts racing, but then…she feels something soft.
She looks up, to see a girl with long light purple hair looking at her. She slowly lowered themselves and now she found herself on the ground, safe and sound, she stared at the girl, stunned at what just happened, the girl wasn't expressionless but akin to…hiding her emotion from others.
She isn't Timid like Furue used to be, she could see that the girl was hiding her emotions, just like what Ono-nichan did before he disappeared.
"T-thank-"
[ Time's UP! Thank you for your hard work! ] Present Mic's powerful voice cut her off and the girl walked away before she could say thank you, the boy too. He was gone, but she could hear the loud laugh from the distance.
With that, Furue's UA Entrance Exam, comes to an End.
[author] Author's rant of the day!
Writing this chapter was fun! I have so much fun writing a time skip and about other character reaction, as for who Nishishigi is then, it is SNIPE! Reason for the name? Welp, there is no official name for him, ya see, so I just search on reddit and found what I like! That al Folk![/author]
