Chapter 13 - U.A Entrance Exam Part 1

Michael woke up for the U.A entrance exam, he slightly overslept due to fatigue, he quickly got ready for the entrance exam, the physical portion of course, he had already completed and aced the written portion of the exam. It was definitely more difficult than the usual written exams but that was only to be expected by U.A.

He left the complex in a hurry, jumping out of the window, wasting no time, he lived far away from U.A and couldn't afford to miss the train. He sprinted towards the train station, with people looking at him in surprise due to his speed, however, people knew it was the U.A entrance exam today, and with his clothing, a school uniform, he was probably rushing to it. Not many people were able to see his face and recognize him due to his speed, people could bȧrėly see more than a blur, and that was only because he had to slow down to make sure he didn't run into anyone.

He made it to the train two minutes before it left, he sat down in one of the seats, but got back up when an old woman couldn't find a seat to sit on, he gave her his seat and decided to stand and hold onto one of the poles instead. People had already started to recognize him, he noticed people already starting to take pictures, he slightly regretted not taking a car, but with the traffic in Japan, the train was probably a better option, especially because he bȧrėly made it to the train in time as it is.

Michael left the train near U.A, it's vast size was surprising, the anime never really did do it justice. He quickly moved to enter when he noticed Izuku.

"Hey Izuku, good luck in the exam."

"Oh- Hey Michael" Says Izuku before tripping in surprise. Yet he didn't fall and ended up floating in the air.

"It's my quirk, sorry for using it on you without permission, but it would be a bad omen to trip and fall on the day of the exam. Well good luck to us both." Says a brown haired girl wearing a scarf, before moving on.

Izuku merely stood there in shock, 'I talked.... to a girl! They usually only talk to me to get to Michael!'

Michael just chuckles and walks into the exam hall. Where he sat in his designated seat and waited for Present Mic to do his thing.

"Welcome to today's live performance! Everybody say Hey!"

"Hey!" Says a lone voice, Michael.

"Would be too awkward if no one answered."

"Fair enough, I'm here to present the guidelines of your practical! Are you ready! Yeah!"

*Silence*

"Why didn't you answer that time, Examinee?"

"It was too much, even for me"

"..."

"This is how the test will go, my listeners, you'll be experiencing ten minute long "Mock Cityscape Maneuvers" You've all been ȧssigned specific testing locations. It's so kids from the same schools can't help each other, consecutive numbers are ȧssigned to different testing locations. Each site has four types of "Faux Villains" and points are awarded for defeating them based on their respective difficulties, except "Faux Villain" D, who gives no points and is more of an obstacle to avoid. If anyone's played Super Mario brothers, it's kind of like a "Thwomp". Your goals are to gain as many points as you can by defeating the "Faux Villains", Of course, attacking other examinee's is prohibited, this is a hero school, not an anti-hero school."

"May I ask a question?" asks a blue haired boy with glasses.

"There appears to be no more than five different types of villains on this handout, such a blatant error is highly unbecoming of U.A. Japan's top hero academy! We're all here today in hopes of being molded into model heroes!"

"Wait isn't that Michael Steele, the one who defeated Muscular, an A-Rank villain, and saved a village at twelve? Why's he here, couldn't he have gotten a recommendation?"

"It really does look like him, someone as heroic as him probably didn't want to take the easy way out!"

"He's even more handsome in real life"

Lida, hearing this, falters, while Michael merely chuckles once more.

"Sorry, but this isn't a game to me, it's my chance to get stronger and save more people more efficiently, as well as getting my heroes license so I don't get called a vigilante"

"Moving on, Examinee 7111, nice catch, it was supposed to be more of a surprise, for you to find out, but the fifth and final "faux villain" grants no points and meant to be a villain thats much more powerful than any of the current heroes present, even more so than "Faux Villain D", who is a villain thats more powerful than most of you. "Faux Villain E" will reset the points of anyone they manage to hit, there's no point in wasting your life against a villain that powerful when you could help save more people by focusing on villain's you can defeat. In each site, there are four "Faux Villain D's" and a single "Faux Villain E"

"Thank you Sir, I apologize for the interruption."

"That's all from me, PLUS ULTRA!"

Michael quickly made his way to testing location "E", he realized that he shared a testing location with the new faux villain, the one that wasn't part of the anime. This didn't feel like a coincidence, the video must've caused them to realize that weaker heroes shouldn't be wasting their lives fighting villains that are so far above their league, they wouldn't stand a chance. The best they could do is stall for time for a stronger hero to show up. Losing their lives means they would no longer be able to save people. It also reset your points, that'd be terrible considering they'll probably release it near the end. He had to avoid it, if he was unlucky enough to be hit by it, he might not make it into U.A.

He knew he already gained at least 88 villain points, and it's only been 6 minutes since the exam started. He kept destroying any villains he could reach, as well as helping out anyone who was in trouble, especially the ones who were about to get hurt. He remembered rescue points from the anime, but he also couldn't allow people to be hurt when he could stop it.

Suddenly, four giant figures, rose up from the ground, they were massive, everyone instantly turned around and ran, thats when they noticed it. The reset pointer, it was at least twice as big as the zero pointers, they could realize what they meant in that no one would be able to defeat it, it could crush any of them with it's pinky finger, and there would be nothing they could do to stop it.
