Hero of Courage: Fulcrum

Chapter 6: UA Entrance Exam

3rd Pov:

Izuku woke up the next day from his dream and got ready for the day. Today was the day of the entrance exam and he was going to take it by storm! He ate breakfast with his mother and wished her goodbye. He received messages of good luck from All Might and Gran Torino and he thanked them. However, the closer he got to the school the less and less he felt like he could do this! Izuku soon started chanting things to himself like that it's fine and everything would be fine. That he had prepared for anything that could happen and that he would do amazing! Yea... the chanting didn't do much for him as the closer he got the worst he became. Izuku looked like a nervous wreck by the time that he arrived at UA. His hair had gotten messy (How???) and he felt like he would throw up any moment now. Izuku was even obsessing over his shoelaces being uneven or how his jacket was leaning to one side too far or another. He was doing anything he could to distract his thoughts.

He couldn't find anything else to distract his thoughts and had to go to the registration desk now or else he wouldn't get to sign in. He walked over to the registration table and started the sign-in process. After about 5 minutes he was done and handed a paper that showed him what door to go through and where to go sit when he got in the exam room. The instructions were strict and left no room to argue on going to the restroom. They didn't want anyone running off. If you went off the path from your test room then you would be failed from the test right off the back. Izuku noticed quite a few ectoplasm clones hiding around in places waiting for people to try and walk off the designated area.

The written exam forced people into different exam rooms from people you went to school with to avoid cheating with friends. As such, Izuku didn't have to sit with any of his former classmates which helped his nerves since he saw a few of them at the school. Izuku waited around 5 minutes in the exam room before a few teachers walked in and started to hand out a test for them to take. The exam had the standard sections of math, reading, English, and other things. It also had a section on analysis that was worth extra points! Izuku had done the sections quite easily since he always had to self-study due to teachers destroying his work and tanking his grades. As such, he got ahead of his classmates and had already study first-year material for high schools. This allowed him to go through the basic sections quite easily. 

The analysis section had them break down quirks and its strength and weakness. They also had to give a battle plan for several missions based on the limited information that was provided. Izuku took his time in this section since he knew he could likely score all of the extra points if he did them well enough. He spent years doing his book and this was a spot to put that knowledge to use! As such, he made sure his answers were detailed and straight to the point in areas that would require as such.

 Soon the test came to an end and everyone handed in their tests. They were dismissed and sent towards the auditorium. Some made a beeline to restrooms or sitting area but Izuku went right for the auditorium to get ready and relax before the physical portion of the exam. He wanted to focus on it and only it. He started to read the pamphlet that was provided to them. After about 5 minutes the room started to get filled gradually. After another five minutes of waiting the entire room was filled up. Everyone was now sitting and waiting for the exam to start. Everyone around Izuku just ignored him which was fine with him. Present Mic came up on the stage and started to talk. 

Present Mic started to talk about each of the robots and how they were worth a different point value. The one pointer, the two-pointer, and the three-pointers. He then talked about the last robot which was worth zero points and was there to just cause trouble for everyone. The teacher asked if anyone had any questions and no one raised their hands. As such, Present Mic said a few last words before telling everyone to exit the main doors and that there would be buses with their assigned letter waiting to take them to their exam site. After the short bus ride to the exam site, Izuku found himself before gigantic gates. There were roughly around 200 or so people in the test site with him. Izuku made his way towards the front and was waiting for the gates to open. He remembered the words of All Might. "There is no go in the hero world nor is there a count down!" He stated during one training. Izuku knew that UA produced top heroes and would not hold back. As such, even though he wanted to analyze all the quirks around him he needed to be ready.
