❝𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐔, WAKE UP NOW!" Ikuko yelled, yanking the bedsheets off of her fifteen-year-old daughter who irritably looked up.

"What?" she groaned.

"DO YOU WANT TO BE LATE FOR YOUR UA ENTRANCE EXAM?"

"What? No!" Itsumi said, "What time is - HOLY SHIT!"

She jumped out of bed and ran to get dressed at top speed before running down and stuffing piece of bread in her mouth, ignoring her mother's protests as she threw her shoes on.

"Good luck," Ikuko fearfully said, "You can do it, you're my strong daughter!"

"Thanks, mom," Itsumi smiled warmly before enveloping her mother in a brief embrace and throwing the door open, groaning at the sight in front of her.

Standing outside the gate was Touya, his arms crossed and his face holding a look of amusement as he waited for Itsumi to catch up to him, panting.

"Finally," he remarked, "I didn't think you were going to come at all."

"Well, I'm here," Itsumi said stoutly, "Let's get going.

***

"GOOD MORNING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" Present Mic said loudly as his cheery aura nearly put everyone at ease. "Welcome to the U.A Entrance Exam! Everybody say 'hey'!"

A feeble murmur passed among the crowd.

"Well that's cool, my examinee listeners. I'm here to present the guidelines of your practical! Are you ready?"

More silence followed.

"This is how the test will go my listeners! You'll be experiencing ten-minute-long 'mock city maneuvers'! Bring along whatever you want! After this presentation, you'll each head to your assigned testing location!"

"But this thing says there's four villains," Touya said in confusion. Almost as if he'd read his mind, Mic continued.

"I know your information leaflets say otherwise. But the fourth faux villain variety gets you zero points! He's more of an obstacle! Have you all played super mario brothers, the old retro game? It's kind of like a thwomp! Only one at each site! A 'gimmick' that'll rampage around in close quarters! That's all from me, I'll leave my listeners with our school motto - the great hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said... 'True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life."

A beat of silence passed. Then,

"PLUS ULTRA!! BREAK A LEG, EVERYONE !"

"Is that likely?" Itsumi fearfully muttered.

***

"That... was... the worst hour of my life," Itsumi shuddered as she finished healing her injuries from the tedious exam.

Touya hadn't got any - suspicious owing to how 'clumsy' he could be. Or claimed he could be.

Not the time, Itsu, she scolded herself, "Am I even getting in?"

"Well if you're not then I'm in trouble," Touya shuddered, "You hit way more pointers than I did."

"Really?" Itsumi smirked, "I see I have surpassed No. 2's mighty son, then."

"Shut up," Touya mumbled but a smile played on his lips nonetheless.
