"This is hideous" [Name] thought aloud as he put on a cheap track suit his mother packed for him that morning. She said it was warm and stretchy and since he just needed something comfortable and convenient to wear he went along with it. For like the 15th time in one day he was honestly regretting the decision to become a hero. [Name] wasn't exactly one to put tremendous efforts towards something if moderate effort would do. After all he was only becoming a hero for fun.
"And Begin"
[Name] didn't move a muscle. Everyone around him stood still as well looking confused but [Name] knew what present mic expected of them, he just didn't really run all that much. There were two parts to his plan of attack. First he'd let everyone in to do some minor damage. That would prevent them from trampling over him in a rush to get into the training grounds AND he wouldn't have to run. Bonus is that they would make a mess destroying their surroundings and leaving scraps of robots around. That's the essential part.
"What's wrong? The test has started. Run! Run! The die has been cast"
The telekinetic gave everyone a two minute head start as he wrapped up his wrist just in case. When the two minutes ran out he raised his arms almost like he was about to do jumping jacks or flap his arms and take flight but kept his palms facing the ground. He then pushed downward and activated his telekinesis, hands and eyes glowing golden as he was launched in the air. Shooting over most of the kids near the entrance [Name] spotted three 2 pointers heading towards one area of the training grounds.
'This is it' he thought and let himself freefall landing in a superhero pose he'd been practicing. His landing was so strong he accidentally destroyed one of the robots upon impact.
"Aww man" [Name] whined. The other two pointers turned their attention onto what they thought was their new prey but [Name] just flicked his left wrist in a weird scooping motion that launched the remains of the destroyed robot at the remaining two. One of the 2 pointers had a robotic arm sticking out of its chest where its heart should be and the other got its head taken off from the force of the scraps that [Name] had launched through the air. [Name] levitated himself back into the air and started the search and destroy process over again.
Eventually he had gotten 50 points which he guessed was enough to get into 1A and spent the rest of his time telekinetically juggling rubble he'd lifted off of people before they were crushed to death. Some people thought he was just showing off and in a way he was, but others sincerely thanked him to which he just responded "What kind of a hero would I be if I didn't help those in need". It was a cliche statement but one he actually believed.
Apparently he was in the same training grounds as the blonde bombshell from earlier which was kind of a disappointment considering [Name] wanted to see All Might's successor in action, but not too much because he liked how the blonde moved throughout the air. [Name] was definitely gonna copy some of those moves and make them his own.
There was no action until the zero pointer came. Blondie surprised [Name] when he retreated but it turns out Bakugou had only cared about destroying robots worth points. It honestly made sense to [Name] but he stayed nearby the zero pointer making sure to stay out of its eyesight. As the zero pointer stomped through the training grounds [name] would make snatching motions in the air as he dragged people out of its path. Saving dumbasses who were frozen in shock was a lot easier than expending the energy needed to take down the massive robot.
"IT'S ALL OVER!!!" Present Mic resounded. [Name] was gonna send that man to see god one day. He walked off the field unsure where he was in terms of ranking but he knew he'd hear back from UA soon. In the meantime he was gonna go get a matcha latte and some aspirin. Quirk drawbacks fucking suck.
"[Name] how do you think you did on the entrance exams"
There was a loud thunk coming from his room as [Name] dropped some dumbbells. The ones in his hands and the ones he was lifting with his quirk
"That was like two weeks ago. Why ask now?" he called back to his mom
"Can you just answer the question"
"I mean- fine I guess. I'm sure I got in"
"That's good because the letter is here. It's kind of light so I was a little scared"
"Are you saying you don't believe in me?"
"That's not what I said but if the shoe fits, be back by midnight cinderella"
"Can you just bring me the envelope?"
[Mo.Name] giggled at their banter before walking to [Name]'s door which was actually opened for once. He must be a little more curious than he's pretending to be.
"Here's you letter young master"
"Whatever" [Name] snorted as he sat down on his bed to open up the letter. When he saw his mom lingering in the hallway he got up and closed his door, sticking his tongue out at his mother as she vanished behind the closing door. He could hear her thoughts as clear as day. Apparently it had something to do with their emotional connection but whenever they were thinking of each other fondly there was a two way link connecting their minds. It got annoying because she'd tease him about how much he loved her though he pretended not to like a teenage tsundere. Or honestly a normal teenager at that.
Though nervous, [Name] opened the letter with no hesitation and saw that it was some projector thing. He couldn't figure out how to work the thing so he lifted it telekinetically and still couldn't figure anything out. In a moment of frustration he grabbed it out of the air and threw it on his bed(so it wouldn't break) while shouting at the thing to turn on and was shocked to see Present Mic cheerfully greeting him as he went through the results of [Name]'s test. He'd passed the written test with pretty good scores and apparently ranked number one with 50 villain points and 30 rescue points.
"Great now I'm the one to beat"
[Name] who knew just how excitable his mom could get had his hardest challenge yet. Avoiding her hugs after sharing the results. She wasn't always as accepting and welcoming of his choices but she loved him enough to make an effort. She was proud of him for walking the path to become a hero but years earlier she would've scolded him for choosing to enroll so late and not trying for something practical like pursuing some career that would require further schooling past high school graduation. Now? He'd have to barricade his door with furniture and psychic energy. She was a powerful empath and if he'd let her get close enough to touch they would both burst into tears.
When his room was fully fortified [Name] picked up his phone and dialed his mother.
"I got in"
