Firestarter

a blazing introduction.

Izuku stood in front of UA, with a small smile. It was time. He ran toward the main office to check in, so they knew he was here when a crack in the pavement decided to end his hero career before it even began.

Time seemed to slow as he plummeted face first toward the pavement, "Fuck" he said closing his eyes expecting to at least get a broken nose, pain never came, which confused him as he opened his eyes and saw he was no longer falling at he was floating there at an angle. "Sorry  about that, I know its rude to use your quirk on something without permission, just you know falling seems like bad luck" he heard a feminine voice say, as someone sat him straight up "release" the voice said as he stopped lightly floating. "

Izuku looked toward his rescuer and saw a pretty girl with short brown hair and brown eyes, "thank you for saving me, miss," he said with a quick bow, "well we should probably head inside" She quickly told him, waiting for him to walk beside her, "right" he agreed as they walked into UA together. "I'm Izuku Midorya, by the way," he told her, properly introducing himself, "Ochaco Uraraka". The two exchanged pleasantries until they went into the office and signed up, eventually going their separate ways as they sat in their assigned seating for the written part of the exam.

The written exam itself wasn't easy per say but Izuku was able to breeze through it rather quickly, and it wasn't much longer that he found himself sitting in an auditorium surrounded by other hopeful teens, and pointedly ignoring the loud blonde to his right.

Focusing his attention to present mic, he tried his best to listen to one of his heroes talk about the robots they would face for the exam while trying to calm his anxiety, his attention was torn away when a tall teenager raised their hand and stood up "excuse me! Their is a fourth robot shown on this card, but you only mentioned three? Is this a mistake on UA's part?" He asked the hero who just chuckled, saying "oh the fourth robot is worth zero points, so you all should probably just avoid it if possible. All right, please, go to the area designated on your cards!" And soon enough, they all began to file out and walk to their locations after changing into workout clothes that UA provided, Izuku had the jacket zipped up and chose to wear the shorts instead of the pants, and remained barefoot.

Seeing uraraka, he started to walk over to her before a hand was placed on his shoulder. "She looks like she is trying to concentrate. Are you going to try to sabotage her chance before the test begins?" The tall teen from earlier asked him with a slight glare, izuku first grabbed the dudes hand and threw it off his shoulder."No. We met earlier before the exam, and I was going to wish her luck." Izuku deadpanned to the much taller teen.
The glare instantly changed to a look on embarrassment before the teen instantly bowed, "My apologies! I assumed you wanted to begin to remove the competition." The sudden change in him surprised the greenete "uh its okay, I'm Izu-" izuku's introduction was interrupted by present mic yelling,"Go!" Causing everyone to look at the hero confused
"What are you waiting for? There is no start in a real crisis!" Finally prompting everyone to begin running into the city leaving izuku behind, izuku then reached into his pocket and pulled out his goggles that his dad bought him when he told him about his flight training.

Seeing no other person near him, izuku grinned, placing the goggles over his eyes he shot into the sky with a blast of flame from his feet, seeing the city, he put a nice bit of power behind his next blast as he shot by everyone else running to the city, only being beaten by the tall kid from earlier who seemed to have engines in his legs. Izuku did a flip and kicked a robot with his flaming foot crushing its head before he shot off and began to pick off robots with his kicks or flames.

In the monitoring room, the various judges and guests watched the potential students with interest, many looking at the blonde teen who could create explosions with his hands but seemed to have little regard to anyone else, a sight which already caused Aizawa to have a headache.

The other student who seemed to keep garnering attention was one who seemed to shoot gouts of flame from his feet, the underground hero could tell he had skill with flying as well as some fighting technique based off his form, but he seemed a bit hesitant to use his quirk anywhere near others and many of his kicks were a bit slopy, he made a note on what to work on with him and the blonde If they wind up in his class.

As the test continued, the greenete also caught the attention of all might, who after a moment recognized him from the boy he met ten months prior, he was looking forward to seeing what the kid could do.
Though he had to admit his high mobility kicking fighting style, he reminded him a bit too much of his old mentor, which sent a shiver down his spine at the idea of gran torino with fiery kicks instead of his normal ones.

Izuku had managed to get around fifty points so far, so he was taking a bit of a breather to cool off and catch his breath. He watched the other examinees and tried his best not to nerd out at their quirks, his attention was quickly changed as the ground began to shake as a massive robot arrived out of nowhere.
He recognized it as the zero pointer from the pamphlet, so like everyone else, he began to run away until he heard a pained yelp. He turned his head and saw uraraka under a piece of rubber, and so instinct he began to run in her direction, he knew he wasn't strong enough to lift the concrete, so he he began to charge his flame, everything seemed to slow for a moment and faster than he had ever flown before he shot off into the sky, and landed a firey kick on the zero pointers head, his flames curling around him to look like giant blazing talons, as he destroyed the robots head Causing an explosion which he couldn't dodge as he was to exhausted.

As he began to plummet to what was probably his death, he could only grin. Moments before he hit the ground, he was slapped in the face, and he began to float weightlessly above the ground. He looked to uraraka and smiled, "Thanks again," he managed out before passing out.

In the monitoring room, the whole spectacle had garnered a few different reactions, most impressed by the kids' power, aizawa's headache getting worse. All might, however, felt something within him, seeing the selfless act, causing him to gain much more personal interest in the boy.
