Asami pov

"Sensei..." I called out as we waited for the students to appear.

"Hm?"

"U.A. students, no matter the arena will be the no.1 targets huh?"

"Wow! You knew?! How'd you guess that?!" Ms Joke gasped "Eraser that kid's a genius! Who is she anyway?!"

"There's no need to be a genius to figure that out. After all, U.A. was the only school to showcase it's student's quirks." Kichi shrugged 

"You're both right. No matter the arena, the competition always aims for the students of U.A. first. They gather information on them from the sports festival."

"That's dumb!"

"And illogical. Do they really think that none of the students at U.A. would improve? They went on internships right after, it's not a secret. Obviously they'd have improved on the flaws from back at that time." I scoffed 

"Well they'd be given a general idea for what their quirk is though. Hopefully they thought 'I know your quirk, but I know you improved so I made moves to counter every possibility I could think of' and not 'I know your quirk, saw it in the festival and I can beat that easily!' there's a major difference."

"Ah. There goes nii-san on his own, again..." I sighed "But you're right. Those that think the first way may have a better chance than those that think the second." I blinked then grinned "I can't wait for my turn!" Kichirou shared my grin, excitement made our nervousness gone.

"Heck yeah!"

"Eraser...who are these kids?"

"Did you hear of a school in Mustafu getting bombed? Well they are two of the survivors of said bombing, plus facing off the villain that did it. Joke, meet Daiski Kichirou and Todoroki Asami. " Sensei side eyed us "They're the 8 year olds that faced off a villain, and won." Ms Joke turned to paper.

"NO WAY THEY'RE THOSE KIDS!!?" we nodded and she did a spit take laughing "You guys are awesome! And to be able to think of such things!! Well you aren't wrong! The format might be a bit different this year but this exam, it has a thing called a 'tradition' " we all looked to the arena as the count down started "The exams starts off with the U.A. crush!" Ms Joke finished.

"Mm we figured. Sensei, why didn't you tell us?"

"It's not like I didn't tell any of you for any particular reason. It's just not going to change what they've got to do here." sensei looked at us then looked to Ms Joke "They still have to overcome the odds. It's a hero's job go turn the tables in our favor. Once they go pro, it's a fact that all their quirks will be known to all. No offense but compared to the rest of you, we're looking towards the future." I smiled.

"We in it sensei?" Kichi asked.

"Mmm, depends...can you handle it?" Aizawa sensei glanced at us 

"Hehe!" we smiled going back to watching the battle "Yeah, we can!"

.....

The first exam was over and all of class A had passed. It was exciting! So very exciting to watch. There were so many quirks in use, of course I watched class A in action but watching the other schools duke it out was amazing too! Like the boy from before, Inasa, he took out 120 students with one powerful gust of wind! It was something to see. Then the black haired boy from Mrs Joke's school, Yo Shindo managed to separate the class with his quirk! 

I had to admit he made good use of his quirk. Of course there was someone to rile Kichirou up. It was the boy from Shiketsu. He made people turn into weird mushes or meatballs or whatever when he touched them or sent his squashy looking fingers at them, he got Kirishima first then Katsu had him going until he got caught leaving Kaminari alone. Even from all the way here I bet Kaminari freaked out but then he used a mini grenade from Katsu and his new support item he managed to deal some nice damage on him.
