"Bye mother. I'm going to head out early to get a pre-workout in before the exam. I'll be back later tonight," Hiroko runs out of the house before hearing her mother's reply.

Hiroko briskly walks to the nearby training park built to help aspiring heroes practice their physical combat.

She lets out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness no one else is here. I really need to let out some stress before heading to the exam."

Hiroko goes up to the spinning wooden dummies, securing her mask over her face, and starts throwing strong punches one after another while dodging the rotating wooden sticks that spin after being hit.

"Why is she so overprotective? I'm not the one that is completely vulnerable merely walking down the street." Hiroko throws another string of punches and kicks at the dummies while mumbling to herself. "She treats me like I'm younger than him and just as powerless."

She throws one sharp punch causing the dummy to spin faster than the others which messes up her rhythm from before causing it to swing around and smack her in the back. Letting out a yelp from the impact.

A voice yells from a distance, "Hey are you ok?"

A teenage boy approaches seeing Hiroko laying on the ground panting.

"Yeah, I'm ok." She continues to breath heavily giving a small wave to reassure him.

He doesn't seem convinced.

She turns to face him, "Thanks for checking, but I'm really fine. I was just getting a morning workout before a test I have later today."

"Wait do you mean the U.A. High School Exam?!" The boy asks excitedly.

"Yeah, you know of it?" She asks.

"Know it! You are kidding right? It's only the best school for potential heroes," the same boy stares at her with a dumbfounded look.

A buzzing noise starts going off causing their conversation to be interrupted. Hiroko jolts realizing its her alarm. Running over to her bag she turns it off and then bows to the boy.

"Sorry about that, but I have to run if I want to make it to the exam. It was nice talking to you, hope to see you around," Hiroko smiles brightly through her thin mask. Before waving goodbye to the boy and running off to the train station.

"Wait! What's your name?" He isn't able to ask quick enough before she is completely out of sight.

He rubs the back of his neck, "That was unusual. Maybe I will see her at the exam and can introduce myself properly."

He looks back at the training dummies seeing some of them still spinning at a decent speed even after the girl has long gone.

"I wonder what her quirk is to make them spin that quickly," he wonders before making his way to the bus station knowing that it's a quicker way to the school.

------------------------------------------------

Hiroko makes it onto the train before the doors close to leave the platform. She takes a moment to compose herself when she notices multiple teenagers on the train also wearing workout attire.

Hiroko wonders, Are they here for the test too? I wonder if that boy was right and that U.A is pretty famous. Guess I'll see when I get there.

She relaxes in her seat trying to think of what the practical test will be like and how Izuku will be able to handle himself. She quickly shakes off the thought and refocuses on how she should prepare.

The announcement of the training arriving has Hiroko leaping up and being the first one off the train. She rushes to the entrance o U.A. High School. There is a large number of teenagers entering the campus she gawks and looks around a moment. A decent amount of the people on the train followed in the mad dash to the school, seeing them all helped calm her nerves about getting lost and missing the start of the exam.
