April 13, day 1. 8am.

"For all you examine listeners tuning in, welcome to my show today!" A tall slender man with long, blonde hair exclaimed with a large smile on his face. He had his hair spiked upwards in a huge gift behind his head, and a small mustache. He wore a black jacket with a huge collar that was upturned along with matching black pants.

It was too early for this loudness, (Your Name) thought as she walked through the hall. She was applying for the bodyguard placement and found out that she had to be evaluated and tested before she could apply.

Looking at the loud man, (Your Name) recognized him to be Present Mic, the vocal hero. One of the ex-members from the league went against him and was arrested after losing to Present Mic.

"Everyone take a seat!"

(Your Name) went to the very top of the row of seats. The lecture hall was a large, dark room with a pitched floor, so that those in the rear are sat higher than those at the front, allowing them to see the lecturer with the light on him.

She sat next to a boy with messy hair. "Hey." The boy greeted, glancing at the girl with (Hair Color) Hair and (Eye Color) eyes. "Hi." (Your Name) replied, turning to him with a small smile. 'I'm not here to make friends, but if I'm going to adapt to this new life, then I'll take the opportunity.' She thought.

She took a good look at him. The boy was a tall, young man with messy indigo hair that flares out in large riffs around his head. His eyes were a dark purple, half-closed, and have very dark eye-bags underneath them. He wore a black hoodie, jeans, and black sneakers.

"My name is Shinso, Hitoshi." He said before turning back to the announcer. "I just wanted to say good luck."

"My name's (Last Name) (Your Name). Thanks and good luck to you too." She said, her attention focusing back to the announcer.

"Everybody say hey!" Present Mic places his hand on his ear expecting a response, but was greeted with silence.

"What a refined response, then I'll quickly present to you the rundown on the application steps!" He said with a weak smile. "ARE YOU READY?!"

"YEAH!!" He yelled and pointed to the many people who sat in front of them. He, once again, was greeted with silence.

"Ahem. As it says in the application requirements, you all will be examined using your quirks and how you manage situations. You listeners will be conducting a fifty-minute exam after this and after that, a one-on-one battle!"

Just then, a familiar face came into view. He walked into the stage and stood next to Present Mic. As soon as he walked into view, everyone went crazy in their seats.

"What's the prince doing here?!"

"He's even cuter in person!"

"I never thought he would come here!"

It was the same boy in the file; Shoto Todoroki. His fight was tall. His evenly split, colored hair was combed neatly down and his heterochromia eyes were staring up at the crowd above him. His large burn scar on the left side of his face captured (Your Name)'a attention. He worse his normal prince attire which was a blue vest that extended to his legs with gold linings, a white long-sleeve that ruffled around his neck and hands, light brown pants, a brown belt, and a pair of blue boots with gold lining all over.

"Good morning, Prince, do you have anything to say to the listeners?" Present Mic said, sterling aside. The prince nodded and looked at the audience, "I hope you all realize how important this is to me and my family. I am glad that you all took this opportunity to serve and I am thankful for your participation. Good Luck, everyone."

"Such inspirational." Present Mic said as he wiped away the tears that were forming at the corner of his eyes. "Everybody! Give it up for the prince!" He yelled and pointed to the prince. Everyone in the crowd cheered, causing Present Mic to give a huge smile. "YEAHHH!!! NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!" He exclaimed, happy that everyone was participating.

Shoto lowered his head down, embarrassed as he was in the spotlight. He always is and yet, he could never get used to it.

"ALRIGHT!! NOW LET'S GET DOWN TO PROCEDURES! YOU WILL NOT BE PROVIDED A WRITTEN EXAM AND A WRITING UTENSIL! YOU HAVE FIFTY MINUTES TO COMPLETE THE EXAMS!! CHEATING IS NOT ALLOWED! IF CAUGHT, YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT OF THE BUILDING AND WILL BE BANNED FROM APPLYING WITH ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY SO KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR OWN PAPER!!" Murmura once again began to sprout from the people around (Your Name).

"What is this? High school?"

"So that's why they made us lock up our stuff in lockers..."

"Dammit!"

Just then, the men in black suits started passing out the exams and pencils. "ONE MORE THING, IF YOU THINK WE'RE KIDDING, LOOK AROUND!" (Your Name)'s eyes peered around the room and saw the security cameras, more people in black shire watching the crowd, and a bright light illuminating the room. "AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED, RAISE YOUR HAND SO WE COULD COLLECT YOUR PAPER. THEN FOLLOW THEM AND WAIT IN THE WAITING ROOM UNTIM THE OTHERS FINISH!!"

"YOU MAY BEGIN NOW!!"

Noises of pencils scratching papers were heard throughout the large hall and the looks of stressed faces could be seen. (Your Name) read the front page and flipped the page over to the back. 20 questions. This should be easy... She wrote her name and date down and started to get down with work.

She circled answers, wrote paragraphs, and drew plans of what could works out in situations. She finished in less than 30 minutes but had stopped several times due to the annoying shriek that came from Present Mic who yelled at people who were caught cheating.

(Your Name) raises her hand and a woman in a black suit collected her paper as well as the pencil. "Please follow me." The woman said, going down the row of stairs. (Your Name) stood up from her seat and followed the woman. All eyes were on (Your Name) as she was the first to finish.

Looking up down towards the stage, she saw that Present Mic stayed focus on the crowd. He made sure that no one took this Opportunity to cheat. However, the boy next the announcer had his eyes fixed on her. Their eyes meg as (Your Name) continued to follow the woman. She gave him a small smile before turning to pay attention to where the woman was going.

She was led out to the hallway and stopped in front of a room that was labeled, 'Waiting Room.' (Your Name) walked into the room, took a seat in the corner of the medium sized room and looked outside the window. "You may wait here for now. Thank you for your patience." The woman said before closing the door, leaving (Your Name) in silence.

9:15am.

The room started to get loud as even more people started to enter the waiting room. There was only one person still taking the exam. Shinso. There was about a minute left and (Your Name) was glad that the exam was almost over. She didn't want to be stuck in the room full of annoying, loud people.

She couldn't help but wonder what the outcome would be. If she really did pass, how would she finish the deed? I need to think of tactics to take him out... Poison? Stabbing?

"How do you think you did?"

A deep voice woke (Your Name) from her thoughts and made her jump in her seat. "O-Oh! The exam was easy so, I think I did well." (Your Name) replied, looking up to meet Shinso's dark purple eyes gazing down at her. "Cool," Shinso said, looking away then scratched the back of his head. "I couldn't concentrate at all. I was busy thinking about it I actually passed the exams and go onto the next step of pursing my dreams." Shinso confessed.

(Your Name) was astonished to the fact that Shinso was talking to her as if they were friends for years, even though they have met that day. She wasn't complaining though, it felt nice to talk to someone new.

Shinso watched (Your Name) tune into his conversation and was glad that someone was finally hearing him out. "Even though, people always see me as a-"

"EVERYONE PLEASE REPORT BACK TO THE HALL FOR INSTRUCTIONS!!" Present Mic yelled as he stepped into room then left to go back to the hall.

Everyone in the room followed Present Mic soon after and headed back to where they took the exams. (Your Name) gave Shinso an apologetic look and gestured him to follow her out to the hall. "After this, tell me what you have to say. You look like you've been holding something in for a while." (Your Name) said, before turning to go out into the hallway.

Shinso stopped in his tracks and looked at the (Hair Color) haired girl who continued her way down the hallway. He narrowed his eyes at her.

How did she know?

-

10:05am.

Walking out of a locker room, (Your Name) fixed the collar of the dark blue tracksuit with white linings on the side that she changed into. Present Mic said that it was necessary to wear the uniform because it was designed to be resistant in some categories of quirks.

The bright afternoon sun shined throughout the field and was blinding the many eyes that were outside, except for Shinso who stared right at it.

The crowd of forty turned into eight. The exams were graded and the people who failed or cheated were immediately kicked out from taking part two. The eight of them passed with a passing score and was about to partake in the final part.

"Hello and welcome to part two of the exams. Congratulations on making it this far." The prince, Shoto Todoroki said, looking at the group standing in front of him. Present Mic stood next to him and for once, was quiet. "Your quirks and actions will be evaluated by important figures as you participate in the following part. Once again, good luck to all." Shoto said and turned to walk to where he was set to evaluate.

"Thank you, prince Todoroki. As for now, I will explain the final event." The blonde man said, his voice finally relaxed. "Now for the final part, everyone will compete against each other in a one-on-one battle. The match-ups are decided by lottery. The conditions for winning a match are knocking out the opponent, getting them to step out of bounds, or if the opponent surrenders." Present Mic explained. "Any questions?"

The group was silent and still. "Now then, let's fray lots to determine the brackets. Once the bracket is determined, we'll start, yeh." Present Mic said pointing towards a screen on a stone wall. The screw on the wall presented a picture of a bracket with names on it.

Everyone moved closer to the stage and read their names. (Your Name) read hers and looked around to see who would be the person. 'Max Alors.' She didn't know who to call Max and just stepped back from the group. She was in the 1st bracket, 3rd round.

"Sorry, everyone. I'm late." Everyone's attention from the screen was now on the male who stepped into view. The man was a slender and tall pale-skinned man with messy, shoulder-length hair that hanged in front of his face. His eyes were dark, half-opened, and probably just woken up. He wore a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tucked into his boots. He wore a utility belt and a huge scarf.

"Aizawa! Hiya buddy! I missed ya!" Present Mic greeted the tired man and patted his back. "Whatever." He replied and looked at the crowd. "They're the ones who passed?" He asked. "Yeah!" Present Mic responded.

"Hello everyone, I'm Shota Aizawa. I'm here to evaluate your battles." Aizawa said before pointing to the side. "Everyone except for those in the first round, please proceed to the outside of the boundaries for your own safety." Everyone followed his orders and went to safety as the battle was starting.

"Now, everyone, good luck suffering!"

10:46am.

The one-on-one battle was going well for (Your Name). She beat her first round in a minute. There were some downsides here and there as the participant she was against had a sand quirk. Max, a lean blonde, would always cover himself with sand when (Your Name) found an opportunity to strike and would turn into sand when (Your Name) would reappear after being invisible.

When Max found an opportunity, he would send sand her way. It would scratch her skin and her uniform, causing the uniform to start tearing and cuts appearing on her skin.

Everyone watching was impressed with both their quirks. It was a damn good fight since no one would know the outcome. It was over when (Your Name) did the unthinkable. Soon after Max turned into sand, (Your Name) went over to his the pile of sand, reached into it and pulled Max out of it.

"AN EPIC TURN OF EVENTS!!" Present Mic was commentating the fight but (Your Name) paid no attention to it.

He wiggled from her grasp and scraped her with his sand in hopes of her letting go, but she prevailed. She lifted him and threw him out of bounds, gaining a victory.

"VICTORY FOR (Your Name)!!!" Present Mic yelled as he skin in his chair. She looked at him and chuckled.

The second round was difficult. Her opponent was a girl with long, dark red hair named Flare Corona. She has the ability to manipulate her long red hair at will. She was able to employ her hair in a variety of ways: her main form of the offense consists of grabbing her enemy then slamming them around.

She would always do that technique to the clones and would get frustrated whenever she saw the puff of clouds go in her face. She would yell, "COME OUT YOU COWARD!!" That was it. That comment. That's what it took for (Your Name) to use her ultimate ability.

She appeared out of the blue and smirked, "Alright, you asked for it." She used her ultimate ability, which deployed as many clones as she wanted. Flare gave a huge grin and twirled, causing her long, strong hair to strike the clones.

(Your Name) grabbed the thick hair and hissed in pain as it gave her a huge gash on her both her palms. Her hair was really sharp. Flare laughed as the wounds started to bleed out. "Surrender now, girly!" She exclaimed. (Your Name) smirked and pulled tightly on the hair, causing Flare to topple towards (Your Name).

"What are you-"

Her sentence was stopped as (Your Name)'s fist was met with her face. (Your Name) then landed a kick to Flare's abdomen. Flare choked out saliva in the process. Flare stumbled back as she gasped for air. It wasn't as long as she realized what she had done. She accidentally went out of bounds.

(Your Name)'s smile for victory quickly faded as she felt another burn in her hands. She looked down to her palms and saw that blood was dripping down to the floor. She didn't think it was this bad.

Her uniform was torn up from her right shoulder and her left sleeve was shredded. "So much for being resistant." She mumbled to herself.

"Shinso and (Last Name)! You both have five minutes to prepare for the final round. Everybody else, you may stay to see the final outcome of the battle. If you don't, please be escorted out by the guards! Thank you for participating and farewell!"

"(Last Name)! Are you alright? Would you like to go to the infirmary?" Shinso said as he approached (Your Name) in the field and looked at her bleeding palm. "No, thanks. I'm fine and you shouldn't be helping your next opponent like this, Shinso." (Your Name) replied with her full attention on her palm.

"Well, right now we aren't opponents are we?" He said with a sly smile. (Your Name) chuckled in response. She then opens both her palm and started to heal it. Her palm glowed a low blue as the light started to heal the cuts. Shinso watched with curiosity as he witnessed her cuts disappear. "Interesting," He said, now knowing another detail of her quirk.

"(Last Name)! Shinso! The five-minute mark is up!"

Gazing around, (Your Name) noticed that the group from before were still there. They were watching with interest in their eyes. She was surprised that they stayed around despite being eliminated from the exams. She looked next to them and noticed a group of people wearing different suiting. They didn't look like guards. Are they from the council?

Shinso pulled down the mouth guard he was wearing and mouthed, "Good Luck" as they both walked the steps up to the field. 'This could be easy,' (Your Name) thought as she looked at her healed palms, 'As long as I don't talk, I should be fine.'

"Ready?!" The girl walked over to her side and began to concentrate on her energy. It was running low due to deploying clones in the previous battle and turning invisible many times.

"GO!!"

(Your Name) dashed towards Shinso and ducked to avoid getting caught in the cloth-like equipment Shinso had. From watching his previous actions, the boy was able to manipulate the cloth and immobilized his opponents with it.

"THE STRIKING RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN SHINSO AND AIZAWA!"

She held her breath and went out of view. The boy grabbed the end of the scarf and launched it. It began to whirl and stopped when it swept against a figure. "(Last Name)!" He yelled as the girl started to breathe again.

She had no reason to hold her breathe anymore since she was spotted. She dodged the incoming fabric and tried to think of a solution. 'Just like Flare,' She thought as she tugged at the scarf, hoping to pull Shinso as she did to Flare. However, his scarf was extremely long and the other end of the scarf reached up to her. It wrapped around her leg and pulled her up.

As a result, she fell and caught herself from meeting the dirt ground. The scarf was still around her leg and began to wrap against her waist. "(Last Name), tell me, how did you know I was in a troubled state?" Shinso asked as he started walking towards the boundaries and dragged the girl behind him. "If you tell me, I'll let you go." He said, turning back to the girl.

She shook her head at him and desperately struggled to get out from the grip of the scarf. "Is it another part of your quirk?" He asked and waited for an answer.

She didn't answer and continued to extract the fabric wrapped around her. She didn't want to use her quirk since she used it many times and was low on stamina and was receiving pain on her head.

Frustrated, he pulled her closer and tightened the fabric. She groaned with the strength of the cloth overwhelming her. "It's not hard. Just answer me and you'll be let go." She wiggled, shut her eyes, and hoped deploying a clone would help.

Her clone flanked out from behind Shinso and struck his shoulder. Shinso instantly turned and made the scarf go around the clone. Immediately, the clone puffed. (Your Name) was loose of the cloths and was able to to do her ultimate ability.

'Desperate calls for desperate measures,'

Clapping her hands together and shutting her eyes, many clones appeared around the boy. She then held her breath and ordered the clones to attack Shinso. He sighed and whirled the scarf just like he did to find the girl earlier.

Instantly, all of the clones that were touched puffed and waited for the puffs to go away. The girl found this as an opportunity to strike the boy. He growled as he turned to see (Your Name) advancing towards him with a fist.

Shinso caught her punch with his right hand then turned his left hand into a fist and slammed it into her jaw. She tasted a surge of coppery blood in her mouth as she stumbled back. She spat out blood and panted for air. Her head pounded as if it would explode. She thought she would collapse if she kept on going.

Shinso was happy that his opponent was getting weaker and found the opportunity to strike. He pulled the scarf closer to his face and prepared for his next move.

"(Last Name), do you want to surrender? You don't seem too well, yeh?" (Your Name) heard what Present Mic said and shook her head. "N-No I'm fine." She replied back.

She looked up and was dumbfounded to see her vision blurring. Her thoughts fogged and everything went dark. "(Last Name), turn around." Shinso said, his eyes staring at her as she turned. He felt victorious that his plan had worked and had a guaranteed victory.

"H-HE COPIED MY VOICE?!"

She turned and started walking towards out of bounds. She stopped at the line boundary. "(Last Name), tell me what your quirk is." The girl turned and started talking about her abilities. "That's all?" Her head nodded. "Then tell me how you were able to read my thoughts?"

"That's how I was trained to be." She said. Shinso pulled down his mouth guard and grumbled, "Walk out of bounds, (Last Name)."

She did so.

Second chapter in a day. I had this written down in a google doc and I just needed to edit it. I haven't wrote the third chapter yet so it'll probably be published by next week.

Sorry for using a lot of gifs. I just love using them. I believe that it helps with the reading.

Also one more thing, which is better, the "(Your Name)" perspective or the "You" perspective.

For example: "(Your Name) watched Present Mic dance in his seat and laughed at how funny it was."
Or
For example: "You watched Present Mic dance in his seat, making you laugh at how funny it was."

I want to write chapter 3 but I don't know which perspective to use. Please comment which is better.

If you enjoyed the chapter, please vote and comment.
