The screen faded in, displaying the results of the entrance exam.  "Check out the results from the exam!" Twice said.  "Wow," Midnight glanced it over, "The first place student didn't even have rescue points." 

Bakugou appeared on screen, lighting his palms with explosions as he took out the robots.

Snipe branched off of Midnight's words, complimenting the blonde. "He took down those faux villains like an ace. When most of the other examinees were running from the big obstacle, he stayed focused on letting the smaller targets get in close and then
counter-attacking. That kid is tough." 

" awww, look at our little dolly" present mic points out " she's got so big!" Midnight gushed" as the girl rushes to sage the girl, using her power over the metal to lift the debris

" but it seems she's still getting the hang of her Electromagnetism quirk" snipe said as the image of her launching the coin at the 0 pointer bot, "she collapsed form exhaustion right after she used launched the coin"After that she fell unconscious

"On the opposite end, the 7th place student had 0 combat points," Midnight pointed out, imagery of Midoriya appearing.

  "He's not the first U.A. hopeful to take out that giant robot," Snipe mentioned, "Though it's been awhile since I've seen someone blow it away with one attack."

  The first teacher protested his praise. "But at what cost? Did you see how badly he injured himself? If you ask me, it's like his body isn't used to his own quirk!"  Aizawa seemed to take an interest in the situation, as he glanced upwards, leaning against the wall

Meanwhile

All might stood at the beach, with dolly beside him, waves rolling against the sand.

The night after I opened my acceptance letter

Midoriya narrated, running towards All Might

He finally got in touch with me again. And dolly was with him

Both turned noticing Midoriya's footsteps. "Hm?"     

"HI ALL MIGHT! DOLLY!" Midoriya shouted, tears pouring from his eyes.     

All Might spit out blood while dolly panicked. "Gah! Chill out kid!"     

A man on the dock spun around, looking their way. "Hey, All Might's here?!"     

"What?! Where?!" the woman with him shouted.     

All Might tensed up, motioning towards Midoriya. "Way to blow my cover," he whisper-yelled, "Say it was a mistake!"   Dolly exclaimed in a hush voice

Midoriya panicked, waving his arms around in the air. "Uh... I was just kidding! Nothing to see here!"     

"Lame!"     

"Aw... I wanted an autograph..."     

The three let out sighs of relief before resuming a normal conversation "Congrats on getting in," All Might congratulated, holding his hand in the air, Midoriya gave All Might a quick high five. "Oh, I couldn't have done it without your help! Both of you!" This made dolly blush

"Oh, speaking of which... I didn't tell anyone at U.A. I've been training you or anything."

"Hm?"     

"Really," All Might assured him, holding his hand to the side.

"Really. I wasn't one of the judges and I didn't pull any strings for you. You earned that spot all on your own just like dolly." 

Midoriya bowed, smiling. "Thanks for telling me...! I'm glad to hear that." He glanced up, his grin growing. "Oh yeah! I was really surprised to hear that you're gonna be a teacher at U.A. this year! I was wondering what brought you here all the sudden!" He closed his eyes, deepening his voice as he raised a finger "After all, your agency is in Minato Tokyo and everyone knows-"     

"Getting creepy!" All Might mentioned, causing Midoriya to make an awkward face. 

Turning around, All Might walked forwards, staring out at the water. "The school didn't want me telling anyone about the job until they made an official announcement. It seemed like fortuitous timing. An easy way to find someone new to inherit One For All."  

  Midoriya's mouth widened slightly as he remembered hearing of All Might's hunt for a successor.

'So that's it. He was originally planning to give it to a U.A. student' He glanced down sadly, staring at his hands. 'Someone who was strong. Who already had a quirk.'

"Your power completely wrecked my body. And all I did was jump and throw one punch. I can't control it. What do I do?" Midoriya questioned, raising his head.     

All Might turned, facing the boy. "You'll learn to manage it in time. Hoping to master it right away is like asking a baby to run a marathon. You still have to go through the process of learning how to walk."     

  Midoriya dropped his shoulders. "Yeah." He then paused for a moment before snapping his head upwards, a shocked expression on his face. "WAIT! You knew I was gonna get hurt that badly?!"     

" you've got to be kidding me!" Dolly exclaimed

"Well...," All Might tapped his forehead, "We were in a time crunch." He glanced upwards, giving the boy a thumbs up. " but it turned out alright, Plus, now you know what you're dealing with."   

   All Might bent down, picking up 2 cans of gas. "Right now, your quirk is either all or nothing. One day, you'll be able to control your output. Then you'll be able to adjust exactly how much power you're using."     

Midoriya smiled. "I just need control?"     

An image of a filled glass appeared, a crack down the center. "You're overflowing with energy at the moment. Through training, your body will hold it better." The water in the glass swished around, moving without spilling the water.     

     All Might transformed into his hero form, crushing the cans in his palm. "Then it's yours to command!"     

Midoriya looked on, gaining a determined expression. 

While dolly sighs " dad the onlookers" she reminded

  "Look! It really is All Might!" the man from before pointed out.  

The woman gasped. "No way! Where'd he come from?!"     

All Might's sweat dropped as he grunted. He paused for a moment before rushing away, calling out to the teens. "Right. Now we run!" 

  Midoriya glanced towards the people before following quickly behind the other two. "Huh...? Okay!"      Taking a look behind him, All Might kept up his smile.

Imagery of a lit torch filled the screen before centering on Midoriya.

The torch that I've passed onto you is but a small flame right now. In time, it will be kindled-until you wield a raging inferno.

Thought All Might's face, then gazed up to the sky.

The more powerful you become, the more you'll outshine me. Eventually I'll retire-my job complete. Hm! Deep stuff, All Might.     

Time skip

April-the first day of school. 

Midoriya's mother stood behind her son, watching as he kneeled on the ground, tying his shoes. "Izuku? You're all set?" 

"Yeah," he quickly replied.  "Are you sure?" she worried, "You didn't just pack action figures, right?"  Midoriya turned around, slightly annoyed as he stood up with his backpack

"I have everything! Now I've gotta go. I don't wanna be late!" 

"Izuku!" his mother stopped him. 

The boy turned around. "What?"  Inko glanced down with a happy smile, unphased by her son's apparent annoyance. "I'm really proud of you, son." 

That day... I began my highschool career.

Midoriya paused before smiling, his fingers wrapped around the doorknob. "I'll see you soon." 

up a hill, revealed the large, glass building that was U.A. High. 

The acceptance rate was just as small as it had always been

Midoriya narrated. One in three-hundred. Four people got in because of recommendations, and 36 through the regular exams.

Izuku ran down the hall to his classroom, holding onto his backpack.

We were split into two classes of twenty students each.

He glanced at the wall as he ran, searching for his room. "Class 1A... 1A... C'mon, where is it?- ack!" then grunted along with the person he bumped into, then hitting the floor

" ow!" He groaned sitting up " I'm sorry-" he gasped when he saw who it was " d-dolly?!" His face became red

" hey!" She smiled brightly " you in class a too?" She asked helping him up

" yeah! You made it too?!" He exclaimed in a happy tone

" yep! Just trying to find it" she says

' wow, she looks amazing in that uniform....' he quickly shook his at the thought " well let's go!" He says as the two run out

He let out a small gasp when he noticed the sign for the room. "There!"  His eyes widened as they travelled up the humongous door. "Man, this thing is huge...! Are there giants here?!" He exclaimed which made dolly giggle

He clenched onto his backpack, lips wobbly as he put on a determined face. "The most promising students in the country are waiting behind this door."

" yep." Dolly nods in agreement

Thought bubbles of Iida and Bakugou appeared, frightening him.

He gasped before shaking them off, forcing their images away. "Maybe we're in different classes," he attempted to reassure himself, talking about 'them'

" don't worry, I'll also back you up" dolly assures making him smile, she could tell why he was nervous

"Yeah, Maybe everyone in here is nice." 

Midoriya slid the door to the side, revealing the two people he least wanted to see.  "Take your feet off of that desk now!" Iida shouted at Bakugou. 

Said boy smirked, taking pleasure in annoying the boy. "Huuuh?" 

"It's the first day and you're already disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property, you cretin!" Iida scolded.

"You're kidding me, right?!" Bakugou laughed, causing Iida to step backwards. "Your old school put a stick up your ass
Or were you born with it?" 

Midoriya's face fell-wearing an uneasy smile. 'Just my luck.' Dolly seemed to have the same expression and thought

Iida opened his mouth to speak before pausing, then placing his hand on his chest. "Let's start over," he reached his other arm out, "I'm Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy." 

Bakugou's face twisted into one of annoyance, his head tilting from side to side. "Somei, huh? So you must think you're better than me! I'm gonna have fun tearin' you a new one!" 

Iida gasped, sweat droplets appearing on him as he pulled backwards. "You would threaten me?! Your own classmate?! Are you sure you're in the right place?"   Bakugou scoffed before turning towards the door, catching Iida's attention as well.  "It's them," Iida said, staring at the two

The rest of the class' heads turned towards the two, causing him to become flustered and dolly hide behind him, mainly cause of the new people

"Uh... Hiii!"  Iida walked over to him, unintentionally in an aggressive way. "Good morning! My name is Tenya Iida from the-"  Midoriya put his hands up. "Y-yeah! I know." Iida paused while Midoriya introduced himself, a slightly worried expression on his face. "I'm Izuku Midoriya... It's super nice to meet you...!"

Dolly remained behind him silent, still not comfortable

Iida took on a more serious tone. "Midoriya. You and your friend realized there was something more to the practical exam, didn't you? You must be very perceptive. And I completely misjudged you." He glanced backwards, looking defeated. "You must be very perceptive, and I completely misjudged you, I admit, as a student, you two are far superior to me."  A sweat drop appeared on the back of their heads

'Uhm... I find that hard to believe'

Suddenly, Uraraka appeared behind Midoriya, catching his attention. "Hey, I recognize that messed up hair! And the chestnut hair Falling boy and doll girl!" 

One of the students in the room perked up at the chestnut hair and doll girl " could it be...."

Midoriya turned and blushed, thoughts causing him to ignore her talking.

'Oh my gosh! It's that nice girl who talked to me! She looks good in that uniform too...'

Uraraka jumped into the air, grinning as she pumped her arm. "That punch was amazing! And that coin launch!"

"Oh, hey, hi," Midoriya said nervously, turning red. His face dripped with sweat, though he soon blocked it with his hands. "Oh my gosh... So I should probably be thanking you for going in and talking to him." 

"Huh? How'd you know about that?" Uraraka questioned.  "Oh uh... I...Um...What?" 

Flashback

His memory was displayed on the screen, showing what had happened with Midoriya.  "I can't believe we have not one but two students from our school heading off to U.A.!" the teacher said, congratulating Midoriya and Bakugou. Midoriya straightened himself, the teacher looking at him while Bakugou glared. "And to think you're one of them, Midoriya. It's a miracle!" 

The memory cut to Midoriya pinned against a wall, Bakugou grabbing him by the collar. "What did you do to pass the exam?!" Bakugou demanded the answer.

"You must've cheated somehow, right?! I'm supposed to be the first and only student from this crappy school to get into U.A.! But you had to go and mess everything up! I warned you not to apply!" 

Bakugou's enraged look turned into one of surprise as Midoriya grasped his wrist. "Kaachan... Someone I look up to told me... That I can become a hero. That's why I applied. That's why I'm going." Midoriya had a determined face, causing Bakugou to let out a small gasp. "Like it or not-you can't stop me!" 

Flash back end

Bakugou glared downwards, thinking of what Midoriya said to him. 'I'm gonna ruin that little bastard. Right after I figure out how he got in' his eyes wandered to the girl next to him ' and find out who that girl with him is supposed to be '

Back to the others

As the group talked, well almost, midoriya was hiding his face

" sissy?!" Dolly flinched when she heard a familiar voice and her eyes widened ' no way....'

The girl suddenly appears next to her " sissy! I knew it was you!" She launched herself at her, making the girl Yelp and fall back and also startling the other three ' where's she come from?!?'

" d-do you know her?..." midoriya asked in a stutter

" y-yeah...she went to my old junior high before I transferred" dolly explained while kuroko nuzzled her head against the girls cheek " thiz is kuroko" dolly said with mushed face

" ahhh, and you must be the fellow who's been looking out for my sissy!" The girl says standing up while pointing at midoriya, who flinched " huh?!"

"I appreciate you doing so, but I'll take over now" kuroko says while the three sweat drop as she continued talking " after all, she's my number one priority, and must-"

' yep...she really likes her...' they all thought of the same person

Back to the conversation, While Uraraka spoke, Midoriya averted his eyes, hiding his tomato-red face with his hands again

"anyway What do you think we're doing today besides orientation?" Uraraka asked, smiling widely as she moved her arms up and down. "I wonder what our teachers are like-I can't wait to meet everybody!" 

A voice came from near the ground, the screen centering on a dark-haired scruffy looking man in a sleeping bag. Aizawa. "If you're just here to make friends, then pack up now." 

Midoriya's shoulders quickly rose, a mixture of shock, fear, and confusion present on his face.

He stared downwards, past Uraraka, causing her to confusedly look backwards, and kuroko giving the same look as soon as they saw him, dolly already knew who it was

The girl, after seeing Aizawa, made a strained noise, her, Midoriya, and Iida still staring at the caterpillar man.

  "Welcome to U.A.'s hero course," he said tiredly, unzipping his bag slightly.

He pulled out fruit pouch, finishing it off quickly as he still laid on the ground.

Each of the four, looked on in horror 'What is that thing?!' They all thought in unison. 

Aizawa rose, releasing himself from the sleeping bag. "It took 8 seconds before you all shut up-that's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that "

'Huh? Who is this guy...? Midoriya wondered 'If he's here, then he must be some kind of pro. But...' he looked at up Aizawa's body

'he looks so worn out... What's his deal?' Aizawa glanced to the side, facing the rest of the class. "Hello, I'm Shota Aizawa. Your teacher."  Midoriya posed strangely, internally gasping 'Huh?! Our teacher?!'

  "Right let's get to it," Aizawa said, pulling a P.E. uniform from his sleeping bag. "Put these on and head outside."

  'Huhs' were passed around the classroom before the screen switched to All Might.

He sat in the library, reading a book titled 'Teacher Directory.'  U.A.'s course doesn't follow the normal academic path.'

He exhaled and sat backwards, looking to the side. 'Get the wrong homeroom teacher and life is Hell.'

Outside

the students were lined up outside. "What?! A quirk assessment test?" they all shouted in confusion.  Uraraka raised her arms to her chest, concern in her voice. "But orientation... We're gonna miss it...!" 

Aizawa spoke, his back facing the girl. "If you really wanna make it to the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies." Everyone stepped backwards, surprised at his comment.

"Here at U.A.," he continued, turning his head to face them, "We're not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class however I see fit." 

The man turned, body now facing towards the group as well. "You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives." He held up a phone, a sort of measuring app open. "But you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before." The camera panned over the students before settling back on Aizawa. "The country's trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day, the ministry of education will learn." 

"Bakugou," Aizawa turned towards the boy, hands in his pockets. "You managed to get the most points in the entrance exam. What was your farthest distance throw with a softball when you were in junior high?" 

The blonde looked slightly downwards, responding quickly. "67 metres, I think." 

"Right. Try doing it with your quirk. Anything goes, just stay in the circle." After a moment, Aizawa spoke up again. "Go on. You're wasting our time." 

Bakugou began to stretch, ball in his right hand. "Alright, man. You asked for it." He planted his foot into the ground, readying his arm 'I'll add a little heat to my pitch and drop their jaws'

The boy quickly stepped forwards, face filled with rage and arrogance. He released the ball from his fingertips, complementing the throw with a hefty explosion as he yelled out "DIE!"     

A large explosion erupted only a few feet away from Bakugou, clearing away to reveal the ball soaring

. As it rocketed, it left behind rings of smoke, along with a trail of fire, Midoriya stared, eyes wide. "Oh woah," he said nervously. 

As the ball fell from the sky, Aizawa began to speak once again. "All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." The ball soon bounced against the ground, coming to a rolling stop.

And, as it ceased to move, Aizawa pulled out his phone, showcasing the number that was displayed on it. '705.2' "It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a pro hero"

Gasps circled around, most students looking shocked in some way or another.      "Woah! Seven hundred and five metres? Are you kidding me?" Kaminari said, a nervous look on his face. 

 
Mina clapped her hands together, grinning. "I wanna go! That looks like fun!'     

"This is what I'm talkin' about," Sero exclaimed, "Usin' our quirks as much as we want!"     

" doesn't this look fun sissy?" Kuroko asked turning to her " meh, it's okay" dolly shrugged

Aizawa glanced down annoyedly. "So this looks fun, huh? You have 3 years here to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be games and playtime?" He grinned, though it was a wicked one. "Idiots. Today you'll compete in 8 physical tests to gage your potential. Whoever comes in last has none. And will be expelled immediately."     

   
"Huh?!" the class shouted in unison.      All Might smacked his hand against his forehead, sweat dripping down his face. "Oh no. He got Aizawa. Midoriya's gonna be singled out from the start..."     

 
Midoriya's face was one of worry and terror. He imagined only himself standing there, Aizawa staring him down. 'Immediate expulsion...? 8 tests...? Not good...' He gulped, wrapping his hand around the other's wrist.

His fingers twitched as his worries flooded his mind 'I can only use One For All at 0 or 100 percent right now... I don't have any control yet.'

    "Like I said-I get to decide how this class runs." Aizawa creepily grinned with whtite pupils, pulling his hair upwards to reveal the expression. "Understand?" The camera showed each student, their worries and confidence clearly shown. "If that is a problem, then you can head home right now."     

Midoriya gulped 'A huge test on the first day of school 'What the crap am I gonna do?!'

Uraraka stepped forward "You can't send one of us home!" she argued, eyebrows pointed downwards. "I mean, we just got here! Even if it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair!"      Aizawa quickly shut her down, earning a gasp from the students. "Oh, and you think natural disasters are? Or power hungry villains. Hm? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities?"

Dolly remembered events that happened, stuff maybe only she knew off

"No. The world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try and combat that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro, you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink. For the next 3 years, U.A. will throw one terrible hardship after the other at you. So go beyond. Plus Ultra style." He tilted his head, smiling as he gestured with his finger. "Show me it's no mistake that you're here." 

    Iida pulled a water bottle from his pocket, sipping it as he thought. 'I don't approve of this kind of hazing, but U.A.'s the top hero program. I have no choice.'

'Time to blow these nerds away' Bakugou thought, smirking and stretching.   

Uraraka and Midoriya both clenched their fists, masking their fear with determination.   

  "Now then, we're just wasting time by talking," Aizawa said. "Let the games begin."     

The screen read as follows: 'Test 1: 50 meter dash'.     

A robot of some sort stood at the finish line, ready to measure the times of each student. "Runners, on your marks!" it exclaimed, revealing the racers to be Iida and Tsuyu, "Ready..."     

As soon as a 'pop' noise sounded, the two bolted from their positions, with Iida in the lead.

He quickly made it to the finish line, followed closely by Tsuyu, who was leaping across the track. "3.04 seconds!"      At 50 meters 'I can only get up to third gear' Iida reminded himself.     

Short freeze introduction

"Tenya Iida!" Present Mic announced, "His quirk? Engine! As you can see," he commented, showing Iida's steaming legs, "His legs are pretty dang fast."     

"Well, he's definitely in his element," Aizawa mentioned to himself, "But speed won't help him in every test."     

After everyone finished speaking, Tsuyu's time was revealed to be 5.58 seconds. She turned around to the camera, ribbiting before the view shifted to Uraraka.     

Uraraka tapped her fingers against her shoulder before turning to touch her foot. "I'll lighten up my clothes,Oh, and my shoes too!"  

Freeze introduction

   "Ochaco Uraraka!" Present Mic announced, "Her quirk: Zero Gravity."     
"Get set!" the robot said, sounding for the 'team' to go, Present Mic continued as the screen trailed Uraraka, who ran towards the finish, closing her eyes as she pumped her limbs."She can nullify the gravitational pull of anything she touches." Imagery of Uraraka puking from the test appeared. "But if she uses her power too much, she totally hurls!"  

   "5.49 seconds! 7.15 seconds!" the robot announced, the latter score being hers.  

Uraraka arrived at the finish, breathing heavily, After a moment, she pressed her fingers together and smiled. 'Well at least that's faster than junior high!'

   Aoyama smiled and turned around, a kneeled Mina looking up at him from the side. "Nice attempts, mon ami. But you're just not showing enough pinash." He put his arms around his head, squatting as the robot started the race.

He quickly jumped into the air, rocketing himself backwards with his quirk. "Let your powers shine!"     

As he did for the rest of the students, Present Mic introduced Aoyama. "Yuga Aoyama! His quirk? Naval laser! That's right-a belly button laser!"     

Although Aoyama was originally going fast, he began to lose speed, eventually falling to the ground "...But he can't keep it up forever," Present Mic finished. 

As he turned on the ground, Mina easily passed him, with him making it to the finish in a few more seconds. "5.51 seconds...!"  A dirtied Aoyama turned around with his hands on his hips, still confident and sparkling. "Shooting my beautiful beam for more than a second hurts my tummy."  All of those in the theater-apart from Aoyama himself-gained a sweat drop. 

Sero, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Ashido looked on 'What a tool...'

'Testing the upper limits of their powers helps me assess their room for growth, Aizawa thought to himself. It becomes clear what they can and can't do-their true potential'

He looked to the side, making way for Midoriya and Bakugou's race

Midoriya stood nervously, while Bakugou showed a mixture of confidence and annoyance

"Runners, on your marks! Ready..." The two raised their bodies, prepared to run. And, as soon as they heard the 'pop,' they went off. 

'Sometimes, pros have to be creative in order to succeed'

Bakugou threw his hands behind him, lighting rapid explosions in his palm. Using this technique, he propelled himself forwards, while Midoriya lagged behind. "Burst speed!" he called out

"4.13  seconds!" 

"Katsuki Bakugou! Quirk: Explosion!"  After Present Mic introduced Bakugou, Midoriya crossed the finish line

"7.02 seconds!"  Bakugou glanced down at his smoking hands, speaking arrogantly "My power has more uses than anyone else's at this school." He looked up, eyeing a panting Midoriya 'Pathetic. 

Last up was dolly and Kuroko

" on your marks!...ready!" As soon as the piping sound came, she took off running

Dolly aimed her armsent an electric pulse through it, and it sent her flying, and landed perfect " 4.12 seconds" the robot said

" hmp" she seemed satisfied with her score

Kuroko then joined her as the bot said " 4.36 seconds"

Present mic began his introduction again " Shirai kuroko! Quirk: teleport!"
The image of her teleporting as dolly used her quirk to send her flying, she teleported, but at short distances " this girl can teleport herself anywhere she chooses, but at the moment only at short distances"

" wow sissy!" Kuroko gleaned " your score is shorter than the last time you did a speed record!" She exclaimed s fangirling

Dolly shrugged " I guess...."

Bakugou was glaring at the two in the background

Midoriya was bent over, hands on his knees as he heaved 'There are still 7 tests. Everyone's gonna be using their quirks on all of them and getting awesome results'

Midoriya's panicked face, showing a clear sense of worry and unease. 'So what do I do? I've got a ton of power but I can only use it once. And it'll break me... Control...! That's what I need 'He squeezed his eyes shut, teeth clenched 'Maybe I can focus like All Might suggested'

Flashback

The boy tightened his grip on his knees, a memory of All Might coming back to him. And, as his voice echoed, a scene with the two faded in.

"You can harness One for All. It's simple," All Might said. He leaned backwards, arms outstretched as he shouted. "You have to feel it!"

Midoriya curled his body. "Mm! Can you be a little more specific?!"

All Might readied his fists, holding and thrusting them forwards as if he were boxing. "So, you already know what it's like to fire on all cylinders?"

"...,Yeah, like a lot of broken bones!" Midoriya answered uneasily.

"No!" the man turned to Midoriya, "I'm talking about the rush inside! You must've felt it coursing through you! What was it like?!" Midoriya put his finger on his chin before making strange noises, along with motions to compliment them. "Uhm... Like... Bzzt! Or no! Like... Woosh! Or maybe kapow... or... uhm..." He finally smacked his fist against his palm, a sudden realization striking him, paired with a visual of a microwave. "Oh, I know! Like an egg about to explode in a microwave!"

All Might laughed, blood rocketing from his mouth. While dolly covered her mouth from laughing

"That's pretty boring, but okay! If that's the metaphor you wanna go with. Then lower the wattage or... decrease the cooking time. Whichever one works. Keep focusing on that image and keep the egg from exploding, all right?"

Midoriya glanced up in surprise 'I can do that.

The man tapped his finger against his forehead. "You've got 3 weeks until school. The more you concentrate, the more you'll learn. Control over One for All isn't gonna happen overnight. You'll nail it one day. You just gotta keep trying."

With a newfound determination, present Midoriya looked up, his emotions clearly present on his face.

And, afterwards, the next task quickly began. 'Grip Strength.' Midoriya closed his eyes, the strength tester in his hand.

'Okay. Keep the egg from blowing up.' Imagery of his damaged body appeared in his mind, and, in response, he began to grip the device in his arms.

After a few moments, there was a small clicking noise, revealing a score of 56 kilograms.

Midoriya looked somewhat disappointed for a moment, before he heard Sero's voice

"Wow!" he shouted, looking at Shoji with awe. "You hit 540 kilograms?! You're such a beast!"

"Yeah, like a muscly octopus!" Mineta agreed.

After glancing at his own score, eyebrows furrowed, the next activity was shown

'Standing Long Jump.' Aoyama and Bakugou, who preceded Midoriya, easily cleared it while the latter just reached the robot, and kuroko teleporting

He fell to the ground, letting out a small shout before calming down

'Focus...'

'Repeated Side Steps.' Mineta easily conquered the side steps, placing his balls on either side of him before bouncing off of them.

Kuroko was teleporting side stepping, but there was pauses in there

This caused Midoriya to look both horrified and worried, before the activity changed once again

'Ball throw.'

Uraraka grasped the ball within her hands, glancing up with a smile.

After pulling her arm back, she lunged it back forwards, releasing the ball from her fingertips.

The ball spun into the distance, with the show time-skipping until the ball twinkled as if it were a star.

Aizawa tiredly lifted the phone with the results on it, an infinity symbol displayed on the screen.

The class dropped their jaws. "INFINITY?!"

"That's insane!" Kaminari awed, wide-eyed. "How's that possible?!"

The expression on Midoriya's was a fearful one. He widened his eyes with worry before squeezing them shut

'This is bad. I've gotta come up with some sort of a game plan... Everyone's had at least one crazy good score already.'

Midoriya clutched the ball in his hand, staring downwards at it. 'All that's left is this, the distance run, and the seated toe touch. It's now or never. This is my best chance to use One for All.'

Iida watched Midoriya, arms crossed. "If Midoriya doesn't shape up soon, he's the one going home."

Bakugou turned his head, a confused expression on his face. "Huh? Of course he is!" The blond raised his arm from his hip, pointing at Midoriya as he spoke. "He's a quirkless loser!"

"Wh-" Iida furrowed his brows, arms dropping to his sides. "He has a quirk! Did you not hear about what he did in the entrance exam?"

"Huh?!"

Aizawa stared at Midoriya, a hint of annoyance in his dead eyes 'Here it comes....'

Midoriya's eyes were drawn downwards as he thought of his past, Of those who believed in him.

Squeezing his eyes shut, he pulled back with sudden reckless abandon, charging up the power of One for All in his arm.

'I WON'T LET THEM DOWN!' Midoriya thought, a fierce passion within him.

Aizawa's eyes widened suddenly, his irises becoming a deep red.

Midoriya remained in his throwing pose, ball bouncing pathetically. "46 meters!" A look of dread appeared on Midoriya's face. "Huh...?" He raised his arm, looking in between his hands. "I was trying to use it just now...." A long, flowing scarf began to spread through the picture. "I erased your quirk," Aizawa said simply.

Midoriya snapped out of his daze, glancing to the side. With a gasp, he turned his body fully towards his teacher, frightened by the enraged look on his face.

His black hair flowed through the air, his scarf spreading outwards as well. His fingers tightly gripped a piece of the scarf, a pair of goggles resting on his chest.

And, more terrifyingly, his voice never wavered when he spoke. "The judges for this exam...Were not rational enough." The man's eyes became more vicious as he raised his head, connecting eyes with Midoriya. "Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school."

"Wait...," Midoriya said confused, "You did what to my...?-" The boy stepped backwards with widened eyes. "Those goggles... I know you!" Imagery of 'Eraserhead' on the roof of a building appeared, the man staring into the night.

"You can look at someone and cancel out their powers! The erasure hero..." The screen zoomed into the man, "Eraserhead!"

The rest of the students gathered into a group, chatting away. "Eraser?" Sero asked, "Who's that?" Kuroko asked

"Ohh!" Tsuyu said with realization, "I've heard of him! I think he works on the down-low."

All Might was spectating from a distance. He peered around from the buildings corner, fingers wrapped around the concrete wall 'Aizawa's one of those guys who doesn't like the media because he thinks they interfere with our work. And he judges celebrity heroes like me because I look good in the spotlight'

Aizawa narrowed his eyes, looking down on Midoriya. "You're not ready. You don't have control over your power."

Midoriya stepped backwards, surprised. "Were you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?" he asked bluntly, a rage in his voice. "No!" the boy protested, "That's not what I was trying to do!"

Aizawa suddenly forced his scarf forwards, wrapping them tightly around Midoriya.

He pulled the boy close, glaring at him. "No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle." Aizawa continued

. "You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved a thousand people by himself and became a legend." Aizawa glanced annoyedly to the side before refocusing on Midoriya. "But even with that drive... You're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero."

Midoriya gulped before pointing his eyebrows downwards. Though initially shocked, he now looked more determined. Angry, even.

Aizawa closed his eyes, bringing his scarf back towards him, hair falling onto his shoulders. "I returned your impractical quirk," he said with a strange annoyance, walking away. "Take your final throw. Hurry and get it over with."

All Might raised himself up, watching closely. Of course, he wasn't entirely sure what the outcome might be. He was frightened. "I wonder if our teacher gave him some advice," Iida speculated, hand on his chin.

"Probably told him to start packing," Bakugou said, no hint of much of an emotion.

His hands rested on his hips, eyebrows pointed downwards as he judged the boy.

In the background, Aoyama and Uraraka spoke. "I'll always be here, cherie," Aoyama said, placing a hand on Uraraka's shoulder.

The girl's expression turned into one of confusion as she turned to face Aoyama. "Wait... Who are you again?"

Dolly looked at midoriya with a determined look ' come on midoriya, you got this'

The camera moved back to Midoriya after their little exchange, panning up his body. His arms were resting at his sides, one hand limply holding onto the ball. His face reflected his body language, as it was worried while also somewhat sad.

'I've only got one shot at nailing this so what am I gonna do?'

'Is he going to use his quirk and have to forfeit the rest of the events like a fool?' Aizawa asked himself, splashing eye drops into his eyes.

'Or admit defeat and settle into last place? He looked judgingly at the boy, face turned upwards. Either way... He doesn't belong here.'

' I still can't control my power... But I can't just give up, either. Do I let the egg explode?' Midoriya questioned. 'It might be my only shot at staying at U.A.'

The boy suddenly tensed up, a determined expression on his face. 'I have to try something... No matter what the consequences!'

Aizawa internally sighed 'A waste of a quirk.'

Once again, Midoriya pulled his arm backwards, rocketing it back forwards as he went to throw the ball. 'Mr. Aizawa was right about what he said... Aizawa and All Might each raised their head, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

' ...If I can't control my quirk, there's no way I'll ever become a hero!'

"Hey, hey!" All Might said, surprised, "Is he for real?!"

'I have to work way harder than everyone else here if I wanna succeed! ...Even if I have a lot to learn... I'll focus on what I can do, right now!' The boy charged One For All in his index finger, letting out a yell as he released the ball.

A shockwave of energy pulsed through the sky, ball creating rings of dust as it flew upwards.

An explosion of wind propelled the ball upwards, causing amazement in the rest of the students. Bakugou, out of all of them, had the most surprised expression. 'It hurts...' Midoriya thought, arm hanging downwards.

His finger twitched, now a purple color. But, then again, it was only his finger. '...But not as bad as before!'

"Were you planning on breaking your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?" Aizawa's voice echoed, ball falling to the ground before coming to a rolling stop.

Aizawa glanced down at his phone, a score of '705.3' displayed on the screen.

"Mr. Aizawa," the boy said, catching his teacher's attention. He grinned, curling his fingers into a fist. "You see... I'm still standing...!"

Raising his head, Aizawa allowed his lips to spread into a wide grin. "This kid...!"

' I was worried about you, Young Man' All Might thought, swelling with pride 'You knew you had to use One For All, but not at full power or else you'd be KO'

Imaging the throw appeared once again on screen. '...So you propelled the ball at the last possible point of contact. ...By sending the power of your quirk shooting through your fingertip...! Minimizing the injury to your body while maximizing your throw...!' All Might grinned, head raised 'What the heck, Young Midoriya?! How did you go and get so cool?!'
