        "Check out the results from the exam!" a teacher says.

        "Wow, the first-place student didn't even have rescue points," another responds.

        "He took down those faux villains like an ace. Where most of the other examinees were running from the big obstacle, he stayed focused on letting the smaller targets get in close and then counterattacking. That kid is tough."

        "On the opposite end, the seventh-place student had zero villain points."

        "He's not the first UA hopeful to take out that giant robot. Though it's been a while since I saw someone blow it away with one attack."

        "But at what cost? Did you see how badly he injured himself? If you ask me, it's like his body isn't used to his Quirk."

        "And what about that tie? Does this mean there is going to an extra student in the hero course?"

        "The real question is if it's a good idea to have a student with the family name Takahashi in the hero program? What if there is a relation?"

        "Hm..." A teacher standing in the back of the viewing room mutters, furrowing his eyebrows as he stares at the scoreboard and listens to the other teachers talk.

        Today is the first day of school at UA and my nerves are through the roof. I finish packing my backpack and look in the mirror to see my reflection in the UA uniform. I have my long blonde hair down plainly not wanting to draw too much attention. I fix my red tie and lay it down straight on my white collared shirt that's tucked into my navy-blue skirt that's shorter than the one I had at junior high making me feel a little self-conscious. I sigh and grab my gray tailored jacket and button it up. I slide on my black thigh high socks before leaving my room with my brown shoes in hand.

        "Are you ready? Do you have everything?" my grandmother asks.

        "Yes," I answer.

        "Are you sure you're not missing anything?"

        "Yes, I'm sure!"

        "Okay, okay, let her go on her way!" my grandfather says chuckling.

        "Oh, I'm just so nervous for her, I can't help it!"

        I smile. "Don't worry, I'm nervous enough for the both of us, no need for you to be," I say.

        "Oh, don't worry Akari, you'll do great!"

        "Thanks," I answer. "I've got to go now, I want to leave early in case I get lost."
