The Scarred Avatar (On hold)

11: Plus Ultra!

The lady flips through the papers on her clipboard and gives a confirming nod, handing a card to Haruka. "Please do not lose this as it is required for the exams." Haruka receives the card and slightly bows her head in thanks. She walks out of the line, stuffing her card into her pockets after memorising her seat number, and heads in the direction of where the red spiky-haired boy went. She enters and sees many students seated in a large auditorium and quickly heads towards her seat number, swiftly avoiding any slowpokes walking down the stairs. She looks at the few people sitting in her row and a familiar sneering face sits next to her seat. She walks down the row, towards Bakugo and places herself on the right side of him. Bakugo notices movement in the corner of his eye and is about to tell off the person sitting next to him until he notices that it's Haruka. He quickly turns away from her hooded figure, clenching his jaw and balling his fists as a way to stay focused for the exam.

I'm gonna get into U.A. and become the best there is... even if it means beating Haruka Kuribi.

Haruka raises an eyebrow at Bakugo who finally turns back to her with a wide smug on his face. Haruka expectantly looks at Bakugo, waiting for him to say something but his smirk soon disappears and blood rushes to his face from her expectant look. He quickly swivels his head away from her to the front of the stage, covering his face with his hand and Haruka awkwardly looks away from Bakugo, unsure of why he reacted that way.

Does he feel unwell or something? He should take some medicine or someth- Stop Haruka! You're not supposed to be worried about him. You're not supposed to be worried about anyone. That's how it'll be until you get your revenge, remember?

Haruka sighs, realising that she's caring for people unconsciously and that she needs to stop so she fishes out her phone from her bag to continue playing her games as a way to distract her from anyone else. A few moments later, she hears commotion on her left but ignores it, already guessing that it's Midoriya who sat next to Bakugo.

After the last few students seated themselves in their seats, the lights dims down, signalling for Haruka to put her phone away. She looks towards the stage and the bright stage lights showcase a man with a ridiculous blonde hairstyle, an obnoxious smile sitting upon his face, and is wearing an eccentric outfit with the U.A. logo on the screen behind him.

"For all you examinee listeners tuning in, welcome to my show today! Everybody say "hey"!" The man cups his ear, expecting to hear the loud cheers of students but all that came was silence. Haruka shifts uncomfortably in her seat as she feels a pair of eyes on her. She looks over her shoulder to see if any eyes were looking in her direction but nothing and she looks to the front row of students as well.

There's no way that man followed me here. He doesn't have the guts to follow me here where all the teachers are pro-heroes, so who the hell is staring at me?

"What a refined response," the blonde-haired man sarcastically continues. "Then I'll quickly present to you the rundown on the practical exam! Are you ready?!" He waits for the student to cheer but, again, nothing. Haruka's eyes shine at the sight of the hero, even if he is a bit... out there but she knows that she isn't the only one excited since she hears quiet mumbling to her left. She peaks around Bakugo's shoulder to see that Midoriya is not so subtly fangirling. She slightly smirks and looks to the front again.

"Shut up."

Haruka gives a silent laugh at Bakugo's expected reaction to Midoriya's fangirling as Mic hero goes on about the exam, "As it says in the application requirements, you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock urban battles after this! You can bring whatever you want with you. After the presentation, you'll head to the specified battle centre, okay?" As he was saying this, the screen behind him showed seven different battle centres named from A to G.
