UPDATE (6/24/21): This is the first and second original chapters combined into 1 for a better introduction for the story.

I have started to upload artwork I've drawn based on this story onto my Deviantart page. Since this website hates links, the only way to direct you is to look for a user on Deviantart with the name "MaleficKing".

LONG BEFORE THE RISE OF THE SYMBOL OF PEACE

Various teens, fresh out of middle school, congregated towards a single area. Some looked relatively normal while others had appearances that made their quirks rather obvious. Some walked in groups together, others walked alone. But one thing they all had in common was their designation, the tall yet familiar building that lay in their paths, U.A. Academy. Better known as the #1 and most popular hero school in the country of Japan. Among all of these potential students, however, one stood still as others walked by him. Those passing either didn't notice him or were intimidated by the aggressive stare he gave, glaring daggers into the building ahead.

He muttered, "It's finally come down to this..." Sharp eyes with blood red irises glared ahead, portraying a calm yet strangely fierce aura towards those that stared into them.

These fierce eyes belonged to a teen boy with spiked black hair, partially curved towards the sky. He wore a red shirt under a black coat that reached partway down his dark baggy pants, gray fingerless gloves, and black shoes. The boy closed his eyes and let out a sigh, cracking his neck as his phone began to ring.

He rolled his eyes when he saw the caller ID before answering, "Hello Erika." The teen stared blankly into the sky, seemingly only half-listening to the words of a feminine voice coming from his phone. He even casually cracked his fingers and stared at his hand.

"Yes, I'm sure I'm ready to take the entrance exam...No, I won't promise to prevent collateral damage. Stop doting on me already, you've already done plenty of that." He began to drum his fingers against the phone in annoyance before continuing, "Fine, if I promise to TRY not to hurt anyone will you hang up...Thank you, goodby-...Yeah, love you too sis. Okay, I'm hanging up now."

The teen hung up and shoved his phone in his pocket, cutting off the protesting voice of "Erika". Exhaling to let out some tension, he then gave a small fanged smirk and started his walk into the building.

Far away from the hero school, a man gave a sigh as he stared at his cell phone. The man has a clean white lab coat over black apparel, contrasting his shortened black hair and slight facial hair.

Sitting at a desk in a somewhat spacious office, his finger lingers over the device. The man prepares to hit the button to call one of his contacts but stops and puts down the phone instead. He takes off his glasses and begins to rub his eyes in exasperation. The man then stands out of his chair and looks out a nearby window at U.A. Academy, which can be seen in the far distance.

"Haruo..." The man mutters as he puts his glasses back on and continues to stare. He looks at his phone and considers trying again before he gets interrupted by a voice from an intercom.

"DR. SERIZAWA, PLEASE REPORT TO LAB 54. I REPEAT, DR. SERIZAWA TO LAB 54."

The man, now identified as Dr. Serizawa, gives a small grunt and gives the distant school one last glance before he makes his way out of his office.

A high amount of confidence built up within Haruo as he sat in the U.A. auditorium, listening to the instructor go over the practical of the entrance exam. While he wasn't nearly as smart as he'd like to be, Haruo knew well enough to get through the written exam without much trouble. Now just left the real test, the quirk-based evaluation.

"As you see upon the screen, you'll be fighting against various mock villains." The instructor droned on with a bored tone. It seemed as if he could collapse at any moment from sheer boredom, leaving a slight sense of tiredness to everyone who listened.

He continued, "Each 'villain' has a set point value based upon their level of difficulty. However, even beating a number of low levels can get you a steady grade, so don't assume beating just a few high-scoring ones will get you very far compared to those actually using their heads. Oh, and don't even think about attacking other examinees, or else you'll be immediately removed. We're a hero school after all, there's an expected set of morals you're required to have."

Haruo huffed at that last bit, not seeing the point in needlessly attacking others for something as simple as a higher grade. The teen then raised an eyebrow as he stared at the display presented on the large monitor in the auditorium. While he followed the examples well enough, he found it odd that there was a villain labeled "0-Points" among the rest. Is that a joke?

"As you may see above, there is a special type of enemy we like to call the '0-Pointer'. These are worth no actual reward and only serve to hinder you from your given goal. It's advised you avoid them as they try to halt your progress. M'kay?"

Haruo muttered a small, "Oh."

The instructor looked through his clipboard and began to speak as if he were at the end of an infomercial, "Now, please be aware that this is a new project utilized for U.A. Academy's entrance exam program. While safety measures have been made, please be aware that accidents may still occur as we try new concepts and ideas to help improve our quality of new students. Remember, you already signed your waivers."

All of the teens in the auditorium began to whisper amongst themselves about the newly presented information, while all Haruo did was stretch in his seat. New additions or not, he still aimed to ace this exam.

"Now that the presentation has concluded, you may all proceed to the mock city outside. On your exam ticket, you'll see a test location with a specific battle center listed. These are specifically designed so that everyone in each exam will be unfamiliar with each other. Good luck on your exams, plus ultra or whatever. I need a coffee..."

All of the examinees at once muttered, "Geez, he could at least pretend to be invested."

At Battle Center D, Haruo leaned his back against the bus as he waited for the exam to start. Looking around, he could see various other examinees prepping themselves. All strangers of course, but the variety of people made things interesting. Some particular ones who drew his eye were what seemed to be a human orca and a girl with butterfly wings who almost seemed to sparkle in the sunlight. Nobody was too strange, especially in today's society, but it was certainly an odd assortment of different characters, appearances and all.

His musings were cut short as the still tired voice of their instructor rang out of a speaker, "START." Everyone looked around confused at the sudden sound, not sure what to do. "WELL? WHEN I SAY START THAT MEANS START. JUST GO ALREADY, YOUR TIME'S ALREADY RUNNING OUT...AND SOMEBODY GET ME ANOTHER COFFEE."

Ignoring that last bit, all of the assortments of teens attempted to make up for lost time as a horde of green robots of various shapes and sizes prepared to intercept them. While the main group frantically ran into the mock city, Haruo waited a few seconds before smirking, "Finally, was tired of keeping the leash on. Now it's time to let loose." He took off his shoes and jacket, putting them neatly on the ground as he breathed in slowly.

Haruo's eyes briefly flashed blue as his body began to rapidly change, his clothes stretching to fit his new appearance. His height and body increased, his skin changed into charcoal black scales, fingers and toes sharpened into claws, and finally a long tail emerged with white spikes leading from the tip straight to his neck. From where Haruo stood was now a 10-foot tall reptilian monster.

Haruo Serizawa! Quirk: Toho! This gives him the ability to change into a powerful dinosaur-like monster along with other powerful benefits!

He let out a ferocious roar as he charged right in. While making sure not to accidentally trample any of his fellow examinees, Haruo quickly reached the head of the pack and rammed his shoulder into a "3-Pointer" robot preparing to intercept the crowd. As it shattered to pieces, Haruo quickly spun and swiped two "1-Pointers" with his lengthy tail.

While many barely gave him a glance as they ran by, some of the crowd stopped and stared at the monstrous person who decimated 3 mock villains right before them. Haruo gave a smirk and walked after those who ran ahead of him. 5 points in just a few seconds, not bad at all.

"Let's get ready to crumble..."

ELSEWHERE

"We seem to have quite the talented batch this year, I'm glad to see our investment in a more difficult entrance exam is paying off."

Inside an observatory room, multiple screens displaying footage of the various examinees are being observed and scored. One of these observers, and the one speaking, is a large white rodent in a suit with a scar over his right eye. His smile ever apparent as he continued to comment on the exam taking place, "I was afraid having a more combat orientated practical test would have alienated a number of potential candidates, but plenty are giving their all to claim a spot."

As he continued to stare, a man to his right with a large turtle shell on his back questioned, "Don't you think that's unfair, Nezu? Not everyone has a quirk suited for combat, that'll leave them at a massive disadvantage."

Nezu simply replied, "While that's true, we have to keep in mind the reality of their futures. Many pro heroes with simpler quirks still find themselves having to combat villains whether they desire so or not, so it's important for them to be able to defend themselves with their own skills."

Next to the shelled man, a mustached man with a fang necklace spoke out, "Can't say I disagree. Had a kid in my class last year, Shota Aizawa. His quirk is purely based on negating other quirks, yet his combat skills are impressive for his age. I bet he'd pass this exam with little issue."

Giving a nod, Nezu continued, "That's also why we've devised the idea of Rescue Points as well. The heart of a hero should go beyond just their strength, but also drive them to help others despite their own limitations. Wouldn't you agree to that, Mr. Kusanagi?"

The shelled man gave no reply, instead focusing his attention on the monitors. Seeing his subordinate satisfied, Nezu walked to the main console and prepared to hit a large red button.

"If no more objections are made, let's bring out the real test."

Masaki Mizushima gasped for air as he ran through the mock city, making sure to avoid the other examinees in their battle against the mock villains. When a 1-Pointer tried to block his path, Masaki removed the sweat from his body and formed it into a small whip. He lashed his small water appendage at the robot's red reticle, temporarily blinding its vision as Masaki ran past it into an alleyway, finally finding time to stop and catch his breath.

Masaki Mizushima! Quirk: Hydro! This allows him to control water, however he can't generate it himself and must use an outside source!

Once he finally regained some stamina, Masaki wiped some sweat from his brow as he thought back on his performance so far. He started out okay, getting some decent points in the beginning, but then old habits started to become his downfall. The water-quirk user began using the water bottles he brought, not to use for his quirk like he intended, but instead to hand them to other examinees who looked exhausted. Crippled by his own nature.

Masaki smacked himself in the head, slightly ruffling his sweat-soaked brown hair, "Crap! The one thing I can use to my advantage and I let my morals get in the way! I'm totally gonna flunk this exam..."

Unfortunately, the teen's ranting alerted the 1-Pointer he managed to avoid earlier, drawing its attention and causing it to charge towards his position in the alleyway. Masaki let out a small gasp and shut his eyes, bracing himself to get hit.

"Look out!"

Suddenly, Masaki found himself being pushed and felt some strange sense of weightlessness until he hit the ground. Opening his eyes, Masaki looked up to see a short girl (about as tall as his chest) floating above him and looking concerned. She has long black hair that goes down to her waist along with lavender eyes, but the most notable thing about her is the slight purple glow that covered her body.

As Masaki continued to stare, the girl asked in a concerned tone, "Are you okay? I don't really use my quirk on other people that often, so I'm not sure if there's any negative effects."

Masaki, finally realizing his own staring, blinked and shook his head, "No, I'm fine. Thank you, I'm Mizushima."

As he got back to his feet, Masaki finally noticed his surroundings. It looked like the girl somehow took them into one of the buildings that Masaki was trying to hide between.

The girl gave a small laugh, "That's kinda weird, our names sound a bit similar. You can call me Yuri Shimizu."

Yuri Shimizu! Quirk: Specter! Along with giving her a slight ability to float, this girl can also turn both invisible and incorporeal! This ability can be extended to whatever she touches!

Their friendly interaction was interrupted as the One-Pointer suddenly burst through the wall they came out of, surprising them both. But before the robot could even begin to continue its attack, a large object slammed into it and pulverized it. Haze was stirred from the destroyed remains, sending shreds of robotic parts through the air. Masaki shielded his face from some of the collateral as Yuri quickly used her quirk to have the objects pass through her.

As the air cleared, the two looked to see a boy slighter taller than Yuri standing on top of the mock villain's remains. He has pieces of armor plates covering his limbs and his back along with bony spikes protruding from both the plates and his messy dirty blond hair. To add to his oddity, the boy also has a tail with spikes on the end hanging loosely on the ground.

He gave them a wave, "Sup! I saw you two needed a hand, so I took care of this guy for ya'. Name's Katsumi Oda, though I'd prefer if you'd use my given name."

Katsumi Oda! Quirk: Armadino! Along with his naturally spiky armor, he can do most things an armadillo can!

Yuri gave a small smile and floated up to their savior, "Well thank you, Katsumi. I can only use my quirk for so long in one day, and I don't think I could've kept it up enough to save us both. You're a lifesaver."

Katsumi gave a friendly wink, "No problem, ghost girl. I saw water boy over there running for his life earlier and decided to look for him. I would've helped him sooner if some of these toys weren't getting in my way." To emphasize his point, Katsumi gave a remaining piece of the One-Pointer's head a small kick. Yuri couldn't help but laugh nervously as the spiked teen referred to the dangerous machine as a "toy".

Masaki gave a small smile and held out his hand, which Katsumi gladly shook. "I should thank you too, my own quirk isn't good for now too." Masaki then paused for a moment and asked, "Wait, 'water boy'. How did you know my quirk was based around water?"

Katsumi gave a smile of his own as he handed Masaki an empty water bottle, which he instantly recognized as one of the many he kept handing out. Masaki gave a small sigh but said nothing of it.

Instead, Masaki asked another question, "While I'm glad you helped us, shouldn't you be going after more points. Judging from your confidence, I assume you're a shoo-in already, but it couldn't hurt to keep it up just in case.

Katsumi gave a hearty laugh, "I wouldn't say I'm a shoo-in, I just like maintaining a good attitude. Besides, I think making sure nobody here gets hurt is a lot more important than a test score, wouldn't you agree?"

Both Masaki and Yuri gave a nod, agreeing with the good willed notion. Their attention, however, was drawn as Katsumi pointed towards the battlefield continuing outside the building. "Now that guy there, he's definitely what you call a shoo-in!"

The two turned to see what looked to be a 10-foot dinosaur ripping apart mock villains of different point amounts, almost seeming to find enjoyment in the continuous carnage. One jumped at him from behind, but the reptile grabbed its head and easily crushed it.

Katsumi grinned and palmed his fist, "That's a guy I wouldn't mind tangling with."

His two acquaintances both sweat dropped and said, "If you say so..."

Suddenly the ground started shaking, causing both Masaki and Katsumi to stumble a bit. Being off the ground, Yuri wasn't as distracted and started to look for the source of the random tremor. Her eyes widened as she saw the shadow of a large machine rising above the buildings, slightly blocking out the sun.

Seeing the two boys still confused, she nervously spoke up, "Guys, I think we should start finding a new safe spot." They both looked confused before they followed her line of sight, each adopting a look of shock at the mechanical behemoth.

Masaki's eye started twitching, "T-This is supposed to be a school exam, right!?"

Katsumi came to his senses and started to push the other two ahead of him, "We need to start going, now!" Too scared to argue, Yuri and Masaki quickly fled with Katsumi running behind them, looking around for anybody potentially stuck.

His eyes widened as he saw another boy about three feet in height run in the opposite direction. A crazed sharp-toothed smile adorned the small boy's face as he charged straight at the robot, his white mohawk blown back from a rush of wind.

As he got closer, the boy jumped into the air and briefly his body surged with electricity. Like magic, his electrified body split into five identical copies, sparks decorating their bodies. Each one leapt on the towering giant, causing a stream of voltage to coat the entire machine.

It jerked and twitched for a bit before becoming still and powering down, causing the five duplicates to laugh victoriously. Just as quickly though, the red lights of the behemoth blared to life as electricity sparked around its body again. The duplicates adopted a surprised look until they were thrown away by the machine moving in a fast and jerky motion. Its appendages thrashed around, easily destroying the surrounding buildings in a berserker frenzy.

Some of the destroyed structures began to topple each other like dominos, extending the range of the giant robot's rampage. Katsumi remained still, in shock at the seemingly mindless destruction before him. He snapped out of it though, once he noticed some of the buildings around him falling down.

Katsumi turned to run but his eyes widened as he saw multiple other people frozen in shock like he was. He shouted in desperation, "Damn it, what can I do!" His attention was drawn to the falling structures overhead, causing him to close his eyes in fear and wait for the impact.

A small fluttering of wings was the only warning sign of a sudden burst of light, nearly as bright as the sun and sending out a powerful shockwave. It blew everyone to the ground and blinded their vision, forcing them to keep their eyes shut.

Once it subsided, Katsumi staggeredly came to his feet and slowly opened his eyes. He winced as his hazel eyes adjusted but they widened upon the sight that awaited him. The building that had once been his impending doom was blown into several large chunks, the various pieces now heading towards the less empty parts of the mock city, closer to the rampaging robot.

As Katsumi tried to make sense of what was going on, he noticed a girl on her knees just a few feet away from him, panting heavily. She's a brunette with long hair reaching below her hips with bright blue eyes that had a slight glow to them. Her more striking features though are the white and red tattoo-like markings decorated over her tanned skin and the large moth wings stretching behind her back. Like her eyes, the wings had a slight glow to them, almost like they're reacting to the sunlight.

Putting two and two together, Katsumi approached her and held out his hand, which the girl stared at for a moment before grabbing. As he helped her to her feet, Katsumi asked, "Are you okay? Whatever you did seemed to take a lot out of you."

The girl let out a tired laugh, "Yeah, I just need to rest for a bit. I'm more worried about you and everyone else."

Katsumi let out a small laugh, but his attention was drawn as he heard two voices call out his name.

"Oda!/Katsumi!"

The spiked teen turned to see both his new friends running (floating in Yuri's case) in his direction. Katsumi smiled and held out a hand to show he's fine as the two approached, smiles on their own faces.

Masaki's happy expression, though, turned to confusion as he pointed at the tired brunette, "Who's this, Oda?"

Katsumi proudly exclaimed, "This is the one who saved our butt from that building! She's-…." He blinked as he turned to the girl, "Oops, forgot to ask your name."

Whilst looking a little lightheaded, the girl calmly answered, "Don't worry about it...Oda, was it? My name is Miana Tomoyuki, it's nice to meet you."

Miana Tomoyuki! Quirk: Shobijin! She was born with large moth-like wings that allow her to absorb sunlight, storing it for a variety of uses.

"SKREEONK"

A thunderous roar suddenly resounded across the mock city, distracting the four along with everyone else in the area. The examinees' attention was all attracted to a single building near the rampaging robot, a single person (or creature) on top of it.

[PLAY MUSIC - "Rebirth" from the Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019) OST]

Haruo let out a satisfied growl, his roar having caught the attention of the rogue machine's audio receptors. "Avoid the 0-Pointer, huh? You bring out something to actually challenge me and I'm supposed to run away? Please..." Haruo's red reptilian eyes began to glow blue.

A humming sound filled the air as the same blue light started appearing on the tip of Haruo's spiked tail, progressing up his spines and stopped at his back spikes where the light shown the most prominent. Haruo smirked as the 0-Pointer robot charged towards his position, the light in his spines continuing to grow brighter and brighter. As the robot was close enough to slam its metal fist down, Haruo opened his jaws.

With a powerful reverbed sound, a bright blue beam shot out of Haruo's toothed maw and blasted the 0-Pointer in its head. The force of the blast kept the robot in place until its head started to cave in from the continuous force. The headpiece continued to compress until it exploded with a resounding boom.

[MUSIC END]

Haruo stopped his explosive breath and looked upon his work, growing a blue wisp-filled smirk as the headless behemoth fell to the ground. Haruo let out another resounding roar as a siren blared through the intercom.

As it ended, the more chipper voice of Nezu began speaking instead of the tired instructor, "AND THAT IS THE END OF OUR PRACTICAL EXAM. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE UNEXPECTED TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WE'VE EXPERIENCED. PLEASE KNOW WE HAD SEVERAL PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE IF ANY OF YOU WERE IN REAL DANGER. THAT BEING SAID, WE'LL BE SURE TO PREVENT AN EVENT LIKE THIS HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. HAVE A NICE DAY AND HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU IN THE FUTURE."

Haruo gave a dismissive grunt, not caring for the announcement, and leapt off the roof top. He let himself fall to the ground at a rapid speed until he used one of his claws to grip the side of the building next to him, slowing his descent to a crawl by the time he reached the ground.

Walking towards the exit of the mock city, Haruo let his quirk off as his body transformed back into his human appearance. As he made it to the bus where he left his shoes and jacket, Haruo noticed someone tall approaching him.

While shorter than his monster form, this slightly older man was still much taller than Haruo's current height. His muscular frame was eye-catching, but the man's most prominent trait was his blond 'V'-shaped hair and his wide toothed smile.

The man spoke with a deep and powerful voice, "So you're the one who took out U.A.'s newest project? For a potential first year, I'm impressed."

Haruo glared as he put on his shoes, replying gruffly, "What's it to you?"

"Nothing!" He happily replied with his smile still present, "I just wanted to thank you in person. Defeating the 0-Pointer wasn't required, but it would be irresponsible to leave it unchecked in that state. I was close to taking it out myself until you managed to do so."

Haruo shrugged on his jacket and looked over his shoulder, walking away as he answered, "Glad I took some work off your shoulders then." And with that, he left on foot instead of waiting for the bus to get ready.

The muscular man scratched his head as he saw Haruo suddenly just leave, "Figured he'd at least want to rest after that exam but guess not. Him and Endeavor would get along swimmingly." He started to leave himself until he noticed a group of four more examinees approach the bus.

Katsumi walked up to the man and asked, "Hey, did you see a big dino guy here? I wanted to meet him."

The man simply answered, "I'm afraid you already missed him, sorry."

The armored boy snapped his fingers, "Damn it! I really wanted to see that guy face to face. Oh well, we'll probably see him in U.A.!"

Masaki put a hand on his shoulder, "Hope you do, Oda. Can't say my chances are very high though."

Katsumi lightly bonked him on the head with his hand, "I told you, I prefer to be called Katsumi! And don't sell yourself short, you have hero material written all over you."

The water user rubbed his head, "If you say so, man..."

Yuri, however, tilted her head at the newcomer in front of them, "I'm sorry but do I know you from somewhere? I swear I've seen you before." Looking back at the man, both Masaki and Katsumi silently agreed at the familiarity.

"He's Toshinori Yagi," All of them turned to Miana, who had been silently catching her breath behind the group. "He's the first-place winner of the last two U.A. Sports Festivals and is currently U.A.'s most popular newcomer."

All three of her companions slowly widened their eyes as they realized who they were just talking to, while Toshinori let out a loud laugh, "HA! I appreciate the familiarity but please call me by my hero name, All Might! It's catchier that way!"

Katsumi excitedly shouted, "Dude, I've seen both of those festivals! You're awesome!"

Yuri, much more calmly but with some excitement, asked, "But what's a third-year student doing at an exam for first years?"

Toshinori happily replied, "Well you see, I'm taking some time in the United States for the most part of my third year. In fact, I should've been gone by now. However, Principal Nezu asked me to stay long enough for me to make sure the entrance exam goes smoothly. Since they were trying something new, they wanted me to stay as a precaution."

Miana quietly asked, "So when that building was about to fall on those people..."

"I was just a second away from intervening when you saved them yourself." Toshinori slapped her on the back, "Be proud though! The instinct to help others is what makes heroes who they are in the first place, at least that's what I believe! You have the drive yourself, take pride in that!"

Miana smiled softly at the praise as the other three gave her their own encouragement, "Thank you, I'll take those words to heart."

"Don't mention it, now I'll be taking my leave now. Hope you do well in U.A.!"

With that, Toshinori leapt into the air and faded into the distance, leaving the four to smile as he departed. While they felt exhausted from the entrance exam, the positive energy of the third year was infectious.

As Haruo walked back home, he pulled out his cell phone and went into his contacts. He scrolled until he found the listing labeled "Father", his finger over the Call Button. But he simply stared at the phone screen.

"…"

After a few seconds, he grunted and put it in his pocket, choosing instead to continue walking in silence. Haruo pulled out a pair of earbuds and was about to select a song when a voice suddenly called out his name.

"Haruo! I thought I recognized you!"

Haruo stopped and looked behind him as he saw a brunette girl with a ponytail, tied with a yellow ribbon, run up to him. She wore a yellow shirt under a white jacket with black stripes along the sleeves, paired with a dark blue skirt over black tights. Her hair had bangs which slightly covered her equally brown eyes. A large smile adorned her face as she caught up with the red-eyed boy.

Haruo grunted, "Saegusa. It's been some time." The boy turned back around and continued walking, albeit slow enough to let the girl catch up to him and walk by his side.

She rolled her eyes at the comment, "Middle school ended only a couple months ago. I know you're oh so busy all of the time, but it wouldn't hurt to give a call every now and then...Also I keep saying you can call me Miki, all of my friends do."

Haruo gave a scoff, "Is that what we are?" He left it at that until he noticed her glare, "Fine, hello Miki. Better?"

Miki gave a small smile as her answer, satisfied with the compliance of her stoic friend. The two continued to walk in an awkward yet comfortable silence. Haruo, however, felt the need to bring up an inquiry.

"So why are you here, shouldn't you be at that special psychic school of yours?"

The brunette answered, "I had some time off. It's just something I went to after school so I don't always need to be there every day. Besides, I spent today applying to a new school."

"A new school?" Haruo pondered for a moment before he came to a realization and inquired with a raised eyebrow, "You can't seriously mean you applied for U.A.?"

She cheekily replied, "That's right, jealous I may have stolen your spot?"

The boy grunted, "Please. You all of a sudden decided to be a pro hero?"

"Nope." Miki continued, "Heroics aren't my thing, so I just focused on the written portions while I simply watched the practical exam."

Haruo frowned, "I see, you signed for General Studies. I should've known."

She rolled her eyes, "Well U.A. does have some top-quality education even in its Hero Course. Being the #1 hero school after all. I'll probably see you there, the way you destroyed that robot should be impressive enough to get you in."

Haruo allowed himself a small smile, "I'll have you know that's a result of my training. It takes a bit, but I've improved my Atomic Breath. Pretty soon it'll be strong enough to beat anybody, villain or otherwise."

Miki let out a hum, "Mmmhmmm. And does your father know? I'm sure he'd be happy to hear how much you're improving."

With a grunt, Haruo narrowed his eyes at the path ahead of him, "Of course he knows. How could he not keep his eye on his favorite pet project?"

With a frown, Miki asked, "You still think that, huh?"

Haruo growled, "Of course, it's all he ever cares about! We can't have a single conversation until he brings up my quirk and how I use it. As if I need him to judge my every move so I don't destroy the entire city. It's never actually about me, no matter how much he pretends otherwise."

Miki remained silent, knowing to bite her tongue. While she felt Haruo was over-exaggerating, she also knew it wasn't completely false. Everything positive she's ever heard about Dr. Serizawa both from public knowledge and from Haruo himself was solely about his role as a scientist, never about how he is as a father. She doesn't even need to fully use her quirk to sense Haruo's honest anger right now, so she tried a small trick she'd often use to help him out.

While Haruo stewed in his anger, he felt a small wave of calmness suddenly come over him as his mind relaxed. Haruo still was thinking about his father, but it wasn't driving him crazy like it was just mere seconds before. He was confused for a moment before glancing at the girl next to him, who gave him a small smile but said nothing.

Miki Saegusa! Quirk: Mental Force! Her mind is a powerful tool that allows her to not only affect the minds of others, but even gives her some telekinetic abilities.

Haruo muttered a small, "Thanks."

Eventually, the two stopped in front of a gate surrounding a rather large house, the name "Serizawa" being posted on the front. When Miki began to walk away, Haruo turned to her.

"It was nice seeing you again, Miki...I mean it."

She stopped and turned to look at her friend, seeming shocked for a moment before a wide grin split her face. She gave a peace sign and walked back on her way, Haruo waving a hand as he began to walk into his house.

Before he entered, he took a brief glance at his phone messages, not seeing any new texts or any missed calls from his father. With a click of his tongue, he put in his earbuds and walked in through the door.

And here we are, the start of what I hope to be a fairly long and enjoyable My Hero Academia/Godzilla story. This concept mostly came about due to a desire to see more crossover stories in this category that actually, you know, USE the official Godzilla Pro Hero character. Of course, this will do more than just have Godzillo himself as I plan to include several more My Hero Academia-styled Kaiju, so hopefully some of you can look forward to that.
On a final note, the main reason this is an AU is because I will be using several canon MHA characters in ways that don't correlate with canon, in case anyone doesn't like that choice.

If you're familiar with the canon MHA timeline, then I'm sure you'll notice how much doesn't line up here so nicely. That's partially why I referred to this as an AU after all.

Feel free to leave any thoughts you have so far! Whether it be a basic review, simple thoughts on it, or even your own ideas and/or theories, I'd love to hear them all.
