Face Me Like An Idiot

2

There are two parts to the entrance exam in UA. First; the written. Of course, there isn’t much to say here. Izuku is a natural genius, he doesn’t need to study to ace such an easy exam.

The greenette is sure he answered every question correctly, as well as finish the earliest. When the examiner was collecting the papers, Izuku was spinning a pencil around like it was his precious scythe. Oh, did I not mention he prefers to use a scythe as his main weapon? I thought you could tell by the book cover, my bad!

(I changed the book cover, so if you're confused, I completely understand. Don't worry, he still uses a scythe.)

Now, Izuku was waiting for the second part of the exam to start; the practical. He was still twirling his pencil around. It was either that or muttering. Though...

...He didn’t expect to see a familiar face.

“I-Izuku?” Izuku snapped his head to his right, where he saw his one and only childhood best friend and crush, Bakugou Katsuki. The male has spikey blond hair that is soft to the touch and beautiful ruby-red eyes. His quirk is: ‘Explosion’, he can create explosions on his palms due to having nitroglycerin-like sweat. It also makes him smell...sweet.

Due to Izuku losing his focus completely, the pencil he was twirling dropped onto the ground and broke. Tears welled up in Katsuki’s eyes as he stared at his long-lost childhood friend. Without a moment to spare, the blond embraced his best friend like his life depended on it.

“What the duck, Izuku! Where did you run off to for six ducking years!?” Katsuki yelled, gaining the attention of some people around the two.

“K-Kacchan...” Izuku mumbled, tears threatening to fall from his wide eyes. When Izuku decided to run away, he never once thought about how his disappearance would affect Katsuki. Now that he saw the blond again, Izuku couldn’t help but slightly regret his decision. “I’m sorry,”

“Sorry my–” Before Katsuki could finish his statement, Present Mic walked onto the stage and told all the examinees to settle down. The chihuahua had a mental argument with himself, but decided to let the greenette off the hook temporarily.

As Present Mic was explaining the first three robots to the audience, Izuku muttered a plan to himself. Since his pencil was a complete goner, he had to stick with his unnerving muttering. Suddenly, a blue-haired male stood up and pointed out that there were supposed to be four robots. Then, out of nowhere, he redirected his pointer finger to Izuku.

“And YOU, the one with the unruly green hair! You have been mumbling ever since Present Mic started his presentation! If you are unable to take this exam seriously, then leave!” Izuku snapped back to reality and glared at the blue-haired male. His gaze softens when he recognises the male.

Izuku silently cursed his habits as he swiftly came up with an excuse. “I-I’m sorry! It’s a-a habit…” Izuku stammered, pretending to sound nervous while fidgeting with his fingers. He recognises the blue-haired teen as Iida Tenya. He is the younger brother of Iida Tensei or, Ingenium.

In case you haven’t already noticed, Izuku is also one hell of an info broker, thus why the LOV chose him to gather information for them. “A-Also, P-Present Mic was going to explain the fourth robot last s-since it is an i-insignificant obstacle.”

A look of realisation dawned on Iida’s face as he apologised to Present Mic, sitting back down on his seat quietly as some people in the audience snickered at him. Izuku couldn't help but feel bad for the teen.

“It’s all right, examinee #420!” Present Mic said, continuing his explanation.

After Present Mic was done with his presentation, all the examinees boarded separate buses to the location where they will partake in the entrance exam.
