C h a p t e r O n e - entrance exam

A sudden jolt awoke me from my slumber. I was several feet off my bed dangling in the air.

" Dad" I wined.

" I let you sleep in long enough. You need to get ready for the entrance exam"

My Dad was already dressed in his hero costume.

For the last six years my dad has been raising me on his own. My mom died when I was about nine from a villain attack, but when I ask he just brushes off the subject so I stoped asking all together. I was told I was there when she died, but I couldn't take it so my body put those memories in the back of my mind to be forgotten.

It can be weird sometimes since he's the No. 4 hero, Best Jeanist. I inherited my moms family quirk, electricity. Though it varies per person but the quirk tends to be very similar to others in the family.

I didn't know this up until last year, but turns out my mom had a sister and she has a son my age. So I have a cousin. I still don't know his name though.

My Dad let me out of his thread web he had me tied up in and plopped me on the floor standing up. I've gotten used to him waking me up like this for the most part. He then walks out of my room. I check my clock it was only five in the morning. It's not even light out! He always has to wake me up like three hours before I need to.

I could have gotten into UA on recommendation but my dad thought it would be a good experience for me and I would get in on my own.

Hours later....

I was finally walking into the an auditorium where a guy with hair sticking straight up and a weird mustache stood at the center of the stage. I get the feeling my dad wouldn't like him.

" Take your seats y'all!" The spiky dude of front said. I ended up sitting in the back. The seats began to fill in and then the introduction began and he went over the rules and our objective.

" Like your application said today, today you rockin' boys and girls will be out there conducting 10-minute mock battles in super-hip urban settings. Gird your loins my friends. After I drop the mike here, you head to your specified battle center. Sound good?"

I looked down at my card to see I was in Battle Center A.

President Mic went on to explain our objective. This preppy kid stood up to ask a question and comment how it was shameful and yadayada. At the end of his speech he commented on the nerdy kid who had been muttering the whole time. I chuckled under my breath.

We were then separated in our groups. Kids crowded around the large door. I stood in the back with my head in the clouds. I decided it would be best if I went up to the front since I would probably be given an advantage. I used my short stature of 4'8 to easily slide past people. Once I made it to the front I accidentally stepped on someone's shoe and almost lost balance and bumped into someone.

Before I could turn around and apologize the person sent an insult my way, "Hey! Watch it shorty!"

I spun around to face a boy my age who stood at about 5'8 with spiky ash blonde hair and red eyes. I hated the attitude of this bastard. I shot him a glare and he shot one back.

" Your not so tall yourself," I grumbled.

" What was that," he threatened.

Before I could respond the gates open and everyone shoved through. When I got away from everybody the enemy bots began to charge in my direction since I was in front. I shot a bolt of electricity from my palm when it got in range making it immediately break down.

When I approach the next enemy bot I see a shadow in the right corner of my eye. It's spiky hair. He got to it before I could and an explosion erupted. I stood in shock for split second. I mentally cursed myself for how I underestimated him.

He sent a smirk my way. Game on.

For the next six minutes we raced each other to every one of the machines. At the moment we seemed almost tied.

I could feel the heat getting to me. My weakness was my own power. If I used it too much I overhead and can lead to a heat stroke, but in this moment I could only think of beating him.

After another three pointer fell we were close enough we were almost exchanging breaths as we panted. Staring daggers into the others eyes.

Suddenly the ground trembled and a dust cloud formed from the north side making its way towards us. Kids sprinted away from it.

It then emerged from the dust cloud.

The " zero pointer".

It towered over the city skyscrapers. We both stood frozen for a moment processing it.

A building fell over keeping people behind it. People with able quirks could get over, but many couldn't. I couldn't get there in time, but someone else might. An idea came to mind.

I firmly grabbed spiky hair's arm and his attention turned to me.

" Can you get there," I said sternly.

He looked at me like I was out of mind.

" Can you get me to it," I practically yelled and pointed to it.

" Yea, but I won't"

I hardened my glare.

" Fine" he rolled his eyes reluctantly and went down on one knee and I climbed onto him. Suddenly we were thrusted into the air. I hardened my grip around his neck.

When we were just barely above the zero pointer when I told spiky hair to drop me. He gladly did so and I landed with a clang in its head. I got to my knees and pressed my hands on it letting the power build inside me. I let out a surge far stronger than any other I'd ever created. 1.9 million volts. The machine exploded and crumbed.

I began to slip in and out of consciousness. Smoke and steam began rising off me. I over did it.

The zero pointer began to fall backwards and I was now free falling. Before I reached the ground something grabbed me mid air and we landed. I opened my eyes just enough to know who it was. Spiky hair. I could hear his panting above me.

" Idiot!" He grumbled not bothering to hide his irritation.

The alarm for the end of the exam rang through the my ears. Not a second later I fell unconscious.

A/N I would gladly accept constructive criticism. Since this is a fan fiction I want to capture the characters as accurately as possible. If I write something out of character I would love it if you could tell me.
