Chapter 4 (Start Line)
U.A. High School's hero course.

Among similar courses across the country, theirs is the most popular and most competitive, and their acceptance rate is less than one in three hundred every year.
The hero who refused a National Honor Award--
The number one hero, All Might.
The hero who resolved the most incidents in history--
The Fiery Hero, Endeavor
The winner of the Best Jeanist award eight years in a row--
Best Jeanist.
Graduating from U.A. is a requirement for becoming a great hero. And so, I also tackled the U.A. entrance exam.
I will take...
...the first step towards our dream of becoming a hero!
"What is this?" "It's like a city!" "They have more than one of these on the school grounds?" "U.A.'s amazing!"
Y/n breathed out, taking deep breaths, remembering what Present Mic said.
"As is says in the application requirements, you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock urban battles after this! Three different types of faux villains are stationed in each battle center. You earn points for each of them based on their level of difficulty. Your goal, dear listeners, is to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing the faux villains."
She gulped, "Mock battles..." She looked around, freaking out. "How can everyone be so confident? Aren't they nervous? They even have equipment to go with their Quirks..." She looked at everyone, then spot the girl who caught her.
"Oh! It's the person I met at the school gates! The nice person! She was assigned to the same battle center, huh?" She shakily started walking towards her, "Oh yeah, I have to thank her for earlier..."
Someone touched her by her shoulder, making her jump up, yelping. She looked back, then felt her heart leave her chest. 'He's here, too?!' "That girl appears to be trying to focus. What are you doing here? Are you taking the entrance exam to interfere with everyone else?"
"N-No! Of course not..." Everyone started talking about the two, and she freaked out, shaking. "Hey, are you okay?" She nodded, taking two deep breaths, messing with the jacket around her waist. "Fine..."
"Okay, start!" Present Mic screamed out, everyone looked at him confused. "What's wrong? There are no countdowns in real fights! Run, run! The die has been cast, you know!"
"Huh? Huh?" She looked forwards, seeing everyone running to the city. "Huuhhh????" She blinked, then started running. "I'm behind already!"
She ran inside the city. 'I'm behind! Calm down, calm down. It's fine, it's fine! I have All Might with me!'

"For Izuku!" She swallowed the hair, her face becoming dark after. "All right! You swallowed the hair, right?" She looked down at her hands. "I don't feel any different, though..."
He laugh, "Of course not! What do you think the stomach does? Well, you'll feel something in two or three hours." "I'm so nervous... I need to hurry back, take a shower, and eat breakfast."
"You have become a proper vessel, but it was one that was made in a hurry." She looked at him confused. "You didn't even get to take it for a test drive... Prepare yourself for the physical repercussions it'll have on your body." "Huh?"
"I don't have time to explain in detail, so I'll just tell you this. When you use my Quirk, One For All, squeeze your buttocks and yell this inside you heart-- S-" Her thoughts were cut short by a robot coming through a building. "Wh--! A one pointer!" The robot looked at Y/n locking on.
'Target acquired. I'll kill you!" It sped over to her, picking up dirt. 'It's coming! It's coming! It's coming!' She tried moving, but her feet were planted in the ground. "Why can't I move?" Scared, she thought of a barrier around her and it popped up. After using her Quirk, she felt a pain in her head, not seeing the Lazer go through the robot.
She felt it for a second, panicked, then looked around. 'New Quirk?! Why now?!' Her wrist was MISSING! She panicked, but ran, looking for robots.
She saw robots broken on every single corner. "Oh no! Oh no! Points... I need points fast!" She ran somewhere, and all the robots were down, just recently. She looked around, then saw the nice girl again.
"The nice person!" She was touching the robots, making them float, then all of a sudden, they fell. "That's twenty-eight points...!"
"What? Twenty-eight?" The guy who kept correcting everyone and everything kicked a two pointer. "Forty-five points!"
R
"Forty-five?!"
"Thirty-two!" "That one's mine! Don't take it!" "It's first-come, first-served!"
'The number of enemies is decreasing fast! Oh no!'
"In this practical exam, the examinees have not been informed of the number of villains or their locations. They have a limited amount of time in a vast area. They have to draw the villains out from there. Information gathering abilities to understand the situation before anyone else. Mobility that can be used in many different circumstances. Discernment to be able to stay calm in any situation. And pure combat ability."
The teachers were conversing, watching the training, "These basic abilities needed to keep the peace in the streets are turned into points in this test. Doesn't this year's group look promising?"
"Well, we can't know for sure yet. Their true test is still to come." They pressed a button, and the city started to Rumble. Dust flew up, startling everyone. Windows cracked, and a big shadow covered everyone.
Y/n looked up, seeing a gigantic robot. She remembered what Present Mic said about the zero pointers. "T-Thats humorous!" The robot smashed his hand downwards, scaring everyone and making a smoke screen. Everyone was freaking out and running away. She tried stepping back but ended up falling.
"How people act after they've seen this shows their true nature."
"This isn't funny! I have to run away! I'll get points as I run..." She tried crawling away, failing. "Shoot, shoot, shoot, I'm still at zero points!"
"Less than two minutes left!"
"Two minutes?!"
'It'll be wasted. Everything All Might gave me... Will be wasted! All this, for Izuku... For nothing!'
She started hypoventilating till she heard a voice yell out in pain. She looked back, seeing her stuck under the ruble. She tried getting out but her leg was trapped. She was dumbfounded, remembering when they met. How sweet she was, then saw the robot coming up behind her.
Without paying attention, her legs moving on their own, she ran towards the girl.
"There is absolutely no merit in taking on that faux villain." She ran into the dust, ready to jump, "But that creates the opportunity... For it to shine brightly..." Then, she jumped, full speed towards the faux villain.
The brown haired girl gasped, seeing Y/n try to help her. "...and rise to the surface." All of the teachers were amazed and curious. Y/n got ready, pushing her arm back, ready to punch, her shirt sleeves being torn off. The villain tried stepping down but missed. While she was flying, so many thoughts went through her mind. All Mights words were in the surface.
"Squeeze your buttocks..." She jumped, getting closer and closer to the robot. "...and yell from the inside of your heart--"
"Smash...!" She punched the robot, a dent in the face, and it exploded. Everyone was amazed, The brown haired girl was staring in admirement and the glasses guy was staring amazed, no one knew what to say. "That's right. It rises to the surface--" The entire robot started exploding to the bottom, "The most important qualification of a hero-- The spirit of self-sacrifice!"
She couldn't feel her arms, or legs for that matter.
The conditions are the same as when I tried to save Kacchan.
But it's different. This time--
The entire robot was on the ground, and she was falling. "One minute left!" She looked scared, then looked down even more nervous. She screamed, "Wait, this is All Mights power. I'm able to jump this high now. Landing should be a piece of cake-cake-cake-cake..." Her arms and legs were broken.
"Shitttt...!!" She cleanched her eyes shut, holding onto her arm. 'You have become a proper vessel, but it was one that was made in a hurry. Prepare yourself for the physical repercussions it'll have on your body.'
"Oh yeah! I'm such an idiot! A mere ten months was just barely enough time. I can just barely hold this borrowed power. I was being conceited for a second! I've only been given the right to stand at the start line!" She was repeatedly getting closer and closer to the ground, freaking out, "Think! What to do? What to do? What would Izuku do...? Detroit smash! If I aim that move at the ground...! Both my legs and right arm are broken. I only have my left arm! And the timing-"
She was worried, crying. "If I'm too early or too late, I'll die! Even if I succeed, I still won't have any points!" She got her left arm in position, ready to punch. "If I break my left arm, there's no way I'll pass!" She could see the floor getting closer and closer, she could feel her life being taken from her. She screamed, ready to punch, but before she could, she was slapped. Then, she was floating. "Release..."
She fell gently to the floor. The brown haired girl saved her, then threw up. Y/n was coughing, "I'm safe... No, she saved me..." She tried getting up, slowly but steadily.
"Is she alright...? She looks uninjured, atlease. I'm so glad..." She put her hand on the floor, crawling. "And... Thank you!" She crawled, "If I can get just one point...!" "Times up!"
An alarm went off, and everyone stopped fighting. Y/n looked mortified. "Wha--..." Then, she passed out.
Everyone started talking about her. "Who was that girl?" "She suddenly jumped at the obstacle." "She seemed to have a reinforcement-type Quirk, but that was unusual..." "But if she had such an amazing Quirk, what kind of life made her so jumpy and anxious?" "Maybe she was acting to trick others?" "But it doesn't look like she gained anything from doing so."
"Anyways, there's no mistaking that she's an amazing girl." 'They're missing the point. Didn't they see?' The glasses guy looked over to the brown haired girl. 'she jumped out to save that girl.'
He then looked over to Y/n, with her legs and arm broken, passed out. 'She was aware of the remaining time, her own safety, and the points she needed to pass... And even so, she did not hesitate at all!' He clenched his fist, remembering how he just saw her but continued to run. 'If we had not been in an exam...' He looked up, clenching his teeth. '...of course, I would have done the same!'
Then, something clicked in his brain. 'Wait. 'Exam'...? 'Of course'...? Wait a minute.' While he tried to connect the pieces, a sweet voice made everyone look over. "Okay, good work."
An old lady walked over in her hero costume. "Good work, good work." She took gummies out her pockets and gave some to the contestants. "Eat some gummies."
"Uh... Thanks." She smiled, then continued walking. "Yes, yes, you, too." A sparkly boy smiled, pointing at the old lady. "That mademoiselle is the backbone of U.A."
She walked over to Y/n, "Oh dear, you were hurt this much by your own Quirk?" 'It's as if her body isn't used to her Quirk yet.' After, she puckered her lips, and kissed her head. "Kiss...!"
Old lady!!
Everyone was confused other than the sparkly boy. "W-What was that?"
"U.A. High's licensed school nurse..." She stood up, smiling. "... The Youthful Heroine, Recovery Girl!" After a few seconds, a green light went over her broken limbs, getting rid of the bruisings and snapping them back to place. "Her Quirk is the super-activation of healing ability. U.A. can only go through with such a reckless entrance exam because of her.
After her legs were back to normal, the glowing stopped and she turned around. "Let's finish this quickly. Is anyone else injured?" The glasses guy went back to thinking, 'I see! If this entrance exam is set up like that...' He gasped, looking back to Y/n.
'Then she's...'
One week later
She was still staying at Inkos, and was eating dinner. She was just staring at a fish. "Y/n...? Y/n? Y/n?" She jumped, looking up at her from the fish.
Inko looked scared. "Hey, are you all right? Why are you smiling at the fish?" She rubbed behind her neck. "Oh, sorry! I'm fine!" Then, she started quickly eating her rice.
After dinner, Inko was cleaning up. Usually Y/n would help, but she was zoned out, sitting on the sofa, exercising her hand.
'From self-scoring, I know that I just barely passed the written exam. But that was cancelled out by the big fat zero in the practical exam. And ever since the entrance exam, I haven't been able to contact All Might.' Inko looked back, floating a book to herself, seeing Y/n sigh.
"The results should arrive today or tomorrow, right?" She sighed, looking downwards. "Yeah..."
"Jeez, I think it's amazing that you even applied to U.A.!"
"Yeah..."
I didn't even tell Mama Inko about what happened with All Might.
She put on her shoes, grabbed her folder, then walked out.
I kept that secret so he could continue being the Symbol of Peace. There was no way I could tell anyone, not even my family.
She put her phone down on the table, then grabbed the dumbbell, lifting it while still thinking. 'All Might! After you saw potential in me, I'm sorry I didn't live up to it! But I did what I thought was right. All Might, you...'
All of a sudden, the door bursts open, and Inko is on the floor, holding a letter. "Y/- Y/- Y/-...! Y/- Y/- Y/-... Y/n! Its here! It came! It's here!" She held up a U.A. pressed wax letter, showing the address off. She stared blankly at it for a second, then asked to open it in Izukus room.
She was inside the room, staring at it, while Inko was pasing outside the room. After taking a deep breath, she took the envelope and ripped it in half. She was supprised when she saw a disk fly out and hit the table. Then, a projector went on, and she saw All Might.
"I am here as a projection!" She jumped back, "All Might?!" She looked at the envelope confused. "Wait, this is from U.A., right...?"
"I had to do some paperwork that took some time, so I couldn't contact you." He coughed, then bowed. "I'm sorry. Actually, I came to this town to work at U.A." She jumped, staring in disbelief. "All Might is working at U.A.?"
He nodded, grinning. Then, a hand popped up. "Hm? What is it? Wrap it up? But there is something I must talk to her about... It's going to push everything else back? All right. Okay." He put his hand up, then back on his hip.
"Even if you passed the written exam, you got zero points on the practical exam. Of course, that means you didn't pass..."
'I knew that.' She sighed, putting her head faced down. 'I knew that...' She sniffled, feeling herself about to cry. 'I knew that, but...' She clenched her pants, '...it's so frustrating...'
Her thoughts were cut off by All Mights voice again. "...if that was all there was to it." She looked up, confused. "I am an entertainer, as well!" He pointed to a screen, that had the U.A. logo but quickly changed. "First, take a look at this video!"
It showed the brown haired girl walk into a classroom. "Excuse me, um..." She gasped, "The nice person?"
"She came to negotiate directly in person after the exam! Negotiate what? Keep watching to find out!" Then, he played the video again.
"Um, the person with the h/s h/c hair and detached body parts... Do you know who I'm talking about? Um... Kind of plain-looking..."
'Shes talking about me!'
"Is it possible for me to give her some of my points? I heard her say, 'If I can just get one point', so I thought maybe she was still at zero points... At least the points she lost because of me... She saved me! Please! Please! Please!" Y/n stood up, shocked.
"I'm addition to having a stronger Quirk, your actions spurred others to act." She smiled, watching. All Might, who was previously looking at the wall, looked back to the camera.
"The entrance exam the other day was not only graded by villain points!" That sparked Y/n's attention, so she looked at the hologram. The video continued and now Present Mic was speaking to the nice girl.
"Even if you ask to, you cannot give her your points." He patted her head, "Anyways, there's no reason to give him any, female listener!"
All Might walked infront of the video, stealing the attention. "How can a hero course reject people who save others and do the right thing? Call that lip service? Bring it on!"
Y/n watched amazed, feeling nervous now that there's a chance she could have passed. "This is a job that requires risking one's life to put that lip service into practice!" A board came up, saying Rescue. "Rescue points! And they're given by a panel of judges. It's the other basic ability we at U.A. look at!"
Then, a score board popped up. In the 7th spot under Tenya Iida and over Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, was L/n Y/n, with 0 villain points but 60 rescue points. "L/n Y/n, sixty points! And Ururaka Ochaco, forty-five points!" When he said Ururaka Ochaco, the nice girl popped up on the screen. "You both pass."
Y/n covered her mouth, feeling her eyes getting watery. "Th-This is too crazy..." All Might faced the camera, putting his hand outwards. "Come, Young L/n. This is your hero academia!" She wiped her eyes, clenching her fists. "Yes, sir!"
After receiving alot of help, my life changed and will continue to change. And now, my dream high school life is about to begin!
Uhhh so shit. With the quirk thing, detached body parts, detach was supposed to be her quirk. But I fucked up and made it barrier. So now, her quirk will be 'Learn'. Every once in awhile she learns a new quirk but she can only use one at a time. Along with that, she can also use others quirks too. But that quirk is called 'Steal'. Sooo overpowered, but oh well. It's my story, deal with it.
