Noriko's POV

The infuriating sound of my alarm echoed throughout my room and head. I wiped the remaining  residue of tiredness from my eyes. I stood up and walked to the curtains, preparing myself for the worst, I drew them back. The clear sky met my purple orbs.

 If the letter hadn't come yet I was going to loose it. A lot of people from school had already shared the "unfortunate" news that they didn't get accepted. To be honest I was so glad none of them got in, they annoyed me during middle school, I am sure if I went to school with them for longer I would be eventually driven to suicide. This letter was my gateway ticket in, I had tried quite hard during the exams. Sure, I hadn't put in 100% but that was because I was so confident I would get in. Now waiting for the letter, I could only hope the effort I put in was enough.

Unplugging my phone, I looked at the time, 7:14. It was possible the postman had came, I decided to check. It was always better to be sure. Upon walking to the door, I saw it; my ticket in, or my dream crusher. I picked it up and walked into the kitchen. A note was displayed on the fridge. I instantly recognised it as my dads scribbles. I sat down and strained  my eyes to read it, 

"Good luck hunny, I am so proud of you and I hope you get in. Lunch is ready, all you have to do is reheat it. Remember no matter what, I am proud! "

Classic dad, always overly proud and affectionate. He must have seen the letter before he left. God, our postman needed to sort his shit out, he delivered stuff at the weirdest times ever. 

I opened the envelope and a weird disk fell out, my confusion quickly turned into amazement as a hologram appeared. A normal hologram would have been cool already, but this wasn't a normal hologram, it was All Might. He was only the best hero in the world, and an idol to many. I had always got the appeal of him, but he just never was my favourite cup of tea. "I am here as a projection!" I had half the mind to be alarmed, but from seeing All Might on TV, I figured he was always loud." I came to this town to work at U.A." I think he waited for me to be shocked or something but, I just wanted to know if I got in. I think the prolonged silence made him continue, "You passed the written exam with flying colours. The practical exam appeared to not be a problem to you. You passed." A shit eating grin appeared on my face, I got in. I did it, I was going to be a hero. "You scored 46 villain points and 31 rescue points. You may be confused, you see there were two aspects to this exam, destroying the enemies and saving people, just like a hero would. Well done young Noriko. This is your hero academia!" The hologram disappeared and all I could do was smile. 

I had two options now, be humble about this or do a Lil Tay and flex the fuck out of being accepted. Not only was I going U.A I came joint 1st in the exam. If that wasn't one of the biggest flex's ever, I don't know what was. I am pretty sure you can guess what I did. The group chat was gonna be pissed, I put on my best supporting friend smile and began the video, "Omg guys, I just  wanna say you all did so good on the exam and it's such a shame not one of you got in, or even came that close to. But I somehow got in. I want to thank you for not taking down the robots I did, it really helped me come 1st place. Again such a shame none of you got in." It was perfect, just the right amount of bitch with a slice of kindness. 

Now you may question if I had any friends at middle school, and the truth is I did. I had Itsuki. He'd been my best friend for about 2 years. It wasn't long but it wasn't short either. I called him up and told him the news, he was proud for me, and it turned out he had got into the high school he had wanted to. 

The realisation hit me later that night, I was becoming a hero. I was going to be a good one at that. Prepared or not, U.A. had another thing coming to them, Noriko fucking Ito.
