As time passed by, people living their lives, Yamato had been training and focusing on his abilities before he gets into U.A. Although, he did spend some time with his family. A couple months of hard work and excruciating training, the time finally came. It was time for the Recommendation Entrance Exam.
After being dropped off, Yamato gazes at the front gate, the tall building behind it and all its glory. He takes a deep breath to gain confidence. Without hesitation, he marches through the gates and into U.A.
There were so many others from different schools, even some from his school. Everyone looks at Yamato, intimidated as usual. He ignored it and tries to find the auditorium, where the exam was taking place. Someone bumps into him awkwardly, a tall and enthusiastic guy who looked bald, he just had really short hair.
"Oh! I apologize for bumping into you!" he proudly shouts. "Damn could you be even louder?" Yamato was annoyed by this person's attitude. "It's alright." he responds. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Inasa Yoarashi!" declaring with pride, waiting to shake his hand. Yamato felt such a level of awkwardness, he felt like turning invisible.
"Yamato Funeki." he responds, shaking his hand uncomfortably. "Well it's a pleasure meeting you Yamato! I wish you the best of luck in the exam!" continuing to jubilantly shout in his face.
"The pleasure is mine, thank you Inasa." Yamato still feeling a wave of embarrassment. An announcement comes on.
"The students who are entering the recommendation entrance exam, please report to the auditorium. Again, the students who are entering the recommendation entrance exam, please report to the auditorium."
"Let's go! The exams are about to start!" Inasa cheers on. Yamato went in a different direction, not wanting to have another moment with Inasa. After everyone assembles in the auditorium, some pro hero who looked like a DJ came onto the stage to welcome everyone.
"WHAT IS UP EVERYBODY! WHO IS READY FOR THE RECOMMENDATION ENTRANCE EXAM!" the whole auditorium fills with silence, no energy as the pro hero was expecting.
"Well then, uh let's get to the parts of the exams!" covering up the awkwardness of the silence in the auditorium. "You all will be taking three parts of the total exam! The written exam , the practical exam, and the interview! Answer easy questions on the written test! Race against your peers in the practical exam! And get an interview with a pro hero about your eligibility! Alright! Let's get to it!" the hero finishes cheering.
Some time later, everyone was taking the written exam. "This is a little easier than I thought." Yamato said in his head, answering every question til he finished. More time passes, it was time for the practical exam. Everyone was separated in groups of six, each group waits for their turn to race. Once Yamato and his group were called, they stand at the starting line and wait for given instruction.
"Alright everyone! In this exam, you will all be racing against each other! The higher the place you're in, the more likely of your acceptance into U.A.! Who's ready to rock!" still in silence, everyone waited patiently until they could go.
"Ah tough crowd, anyways everyone to your marks!" the pro hero shouted. Yamato made his mark, charging his power. His number 36, along with some other students including a girl with a black ponytail and some shy kid with pastel blonde hair. Yamato stays focused, waiting for the signal.
"Let's rock this joint!" the pro hero shouted as the signal goes off, the race had begun. With a strong start, Yamato was already ahead of the others. "WOAH! Look at that kid go!" the pro shouts, cheering on Yamato. A feeling Yamato didn't feel in forever, the feeling of acceptance of his quirk, it felt unusual.
"Looks like we've got some people catching up from behind the cyborg! Will he be able to keep the first place spot!" The pro shouts at the edge of his seat.
Almost losing track, he sees the others catching up to him. The boy with the pastel blonde hair was emitting solar flares from his hands and feet to go faster. "Shit! I better pick up the pace!"
Yamato kept flying faster. The girl with the black ponytail was also catching up. They were half way there to the finish line, it was down to the three leading racers. Head to head, Yamato had to catch up, he knew cheating was wrong so he needed to think of an alternative.
He gets an idea, but he would have to time it precisely. The ponytail girl and the pastel blonde finally caught up with Yamato. "OH MAN! It is neck and neck with three people for first place! Numbers 36! 47! and 20! But who is going to make it first? We're gonna find out!" Still shouting with excitement, until he fell out of his seat.
The finish line was just up ahead, the ponytail girl was taking the lead with the pastel blonde behind her. Yamato brought out his arm cannons, charges them up, waits for the right moment and shoots the ground, the impact of the explosion sends him flying further ahead of the two. Boosting his way with flight, Yamato crosses the finish line first.
"And the winner is number 36!" Yamato had stopped, coming into first place made him relieved. The ponytail girl came in second place and the pastel blonde came in third. Everyone eventually crossed, all out of energy. Steam came out of Yamato's mouth and nose after breathing, no sign of exhaustion, however. One of the racers approached Yamato to congratulate him, it was the ponytail girl.
"Hey, you did really well!" she says, still exhaling of tiredness. Yamato simply stares at her coldly, not wanting to socialize. "I'm Momo Yaoyorozu." She states, pulling her hand out. Yamato shook her hand politely. "Yamato Funeki." he coldly replies before leaving. Momo thought his behavior was strange, but ignored it.
Everyone took a break, one by one the students were called by different pro heroes for their interview. Kohimura waits for Yamato in the break room. Walking around impatiently, he couldn't help but worry so much.
Yamato comes out of the room, finished with the interview. Air escaping his lungs with relief, Kohimura rushed to meet Yamato. "Thank goodness you finished, I was getting really worried. So how did it go?" Kohimura thrillingly asks.
"It was honestly easier than expected." Yamato answers. "Well that's great! How about we go celebrate?" Kohimura cheers as they leave the school. Yamato's sisters and mom wait outside for him, the girls see their brother and go greet him.
"Yamato-kun!" the girls shout as they jump on him again. Catching them in the air again, he was glad to see them.
"Girls, what did we say about this?" Yamato asks firmly. "Sorry Yamato, it's just fun." Inuya says. The girls jump off, "So how did the exam go?" Hidemi asks, wanting every detail.
"It was a breeze." Yamato sighs.
