People... are not born equal

"Enough Kacchan! Y'already made him cry... stop it!" A timid boy stood in front of stronger more intimidating looking kid known as 'Kacchan'. Another small kid stood not far from the scene, watching curiously. "I won't let you!" The bigger kid laughed out loud, mildly annoyed but also slightly amused. "So Deku, the quirkless wonder... thinks he can play hero huh?!" He laughed out loud once again, small explosions coming from his hands as he clapped them together. The timid boy, now known as Deku, cowered slightly.

That's the hard truth i learned at age four

______

It all began in Keikei city with the news that a bio-luminescent baby was born. After that, 'exceptional' individuals began popping up all over the world. The cause was unclear. Time passed and the 'exceptional' became the norm. Fantasy became reality. At present, 80 percent of the world's population consists of superhumans with special abilities. The world is in chaos! And a profession that everyone once only dreamed about... entered the spot-light.

"A body... with a good quirk" A gooey monster stood over a middle schooler, who was turned facing their shocked friends, unaware of the danger that was right behind him. The monster attempted to consume the kid, now trying to enter his body with its quirk. The boy yelled out, explosions coming from his hands in panic. He didn't show it but he was terrified, a villain encounter was something he wasn't expecting to experience before becoming number one hero. A kid loomed in the shadows, watching this unfold in front of him. He wanted to do something but they weren't a hero, just a 14 year old middle schooler with two quirks, both he couldn't control properly. The victim's friends stood far back, scared, not knowing what to do. The area was already on fire from the kid's quirk. Heroes had already arrived on scene, attempting to help out but mainly unable to. 

"Explosive fires are my weakness! Someone else has to take this one!" Kamui Woods called out. "He's too slippery to get hold of but his hostage with the explosive quirk is resisting! It's like a minefield out here, but we can't do anything against him!" One of the heroes had yelled out. What a pity. "No good! There's no one here who can stop him!"
"Just gotta wait for someone with the right quirk to show up!!"
"Until then, keep the damage to a minimum. Someone'll come! We need that kid to hold on just a little bit longer!" An old man had arrived at the scene, looking pretty exhausted, must've ran here. He stood at the far back of the crowd, helplessly watching everything unfold. 

The mysterious kid was now stuck, undiscovered, in the burning alley. He had nowhere to go if he wanted to stay unspotted. "Damn it..." He had muttered. His quirk was setting off slightly, the walls around them decaying just a little bit from stress. "Nononononono- please no- fuck" The anonymous kid cowered back more, if it was even possible. More explosions set off from the kid and more worried heroes unable to do anything. A kid ran out from the crowd past the heroes and darted towards the sludge monster and hostage, determined. It was like his legs moved on their own. "Is that kid suicidal?!"
"Hey what are you doing kid?!"
"Get back here, you fool!! Stop!!"

What is that kid doing? He's gonna get himself killed. The anonymous kid had thought to themselves. The kid that had run out desperately threw his school bag at the sludge monster like he was expecting it to do a miracle. Nothing happened, obviously. He proceeded to claw at the sludge monster trying to pry it off the kid. "KACCHAN!!"
"You! Why?!"
"MY LEGS JUST STARTED MOVING! WHY? I DUNNO!! You... LOOKED LIKE YOU NEEDED SAVING."
"Does that kid have a death wish? He'll die for nothing!!" Some of the heroes had yelled out. Stuck in an alleyway, a villain encounter right in front of him, a decayed alleyway, what more could possibly happen?

"DETROIT SMASH!" All might had came from nowhere and grabbed the two middle schoolers before punching the ground. It soon had started raining, the sludge villain was spread across the alley and the pro heroes started collecting it up. Well that just happened. "He changed the weather with a single punch!! AMAZING!! That's... ALL MIGHT!!" Great now they were exposed, the anonymous kid thought as all the fire was being put out. Some of the crowd had started pointing them out, concerned, curious, worried. The kid just crouched down, now extremely self conscious. A hero had approached the kid. "Kid you alright? Were you there the entire time? How are you not hurt?"
"..."
"Not much of a talker? Did you do that...?" The hero pointed to the decayed walls behind the kid, the kid's fingers had turned black, it was easy to put two and two together. "I panicked..." A quiet voice came from the kid. "Come with me I'll get you all checked up, do you have parents or a guardian I can contact so they can pick you up?" The kid shook their head slightly, they did have someone but they would be unable to come pick them up. "What's your name kid?"
"Y/n L/n..." A head from one of the middle schoolers turned, watching the kid, now known as Y/n, with a curious eye, vision flicking back to where the decayed walls stood.

10 months later

"I made it in time!" A green haired dishevelled kid stood at the gates of UA. Today was the entrance exam, many middle schoolers from across the place has applied to take part in the exam. "Get out of my way or you're dead."
"Kacchan!" The dishevelled boy quickly got out of his way. "M-Morning. Let's both do our best..." He looked like he had just seen a ghost. "You look like you've just seen a ghost..." A kid had quietly mumbled towards the green boy. "W-Wha?! N-No, me? Never! I am A-okay!" Y/n just simply walked past the boy and followed everyone else to where they would all be sat and have a run through of what would happen in the exam. 

"Welcome to today's live performance!! Everybody say 'HEY'!!" The awkward silence. Man would being swallowed whole by the ground be a perfect solution to this situation. "Well, that's cool, my examinee listeners!! I'm here to present the guidelines of your practical!! Are you ready?!"

Silence.

"It's the voice hero, Present Mic. Wow...!! I listen to his radio show every week. It's inspiring. Guess the UA teachers are pro heroes."
"Shaddup" Y/n turned their head to face where the muttering was coming from. Isn't that the suicidal kid from the sludge monster incident and that angry pomeranian who got pissed off at the kid for trying to save him? They squinted slightly at the two before going back to listening to Present Mic, pulling on their artist gloves nervously. 

"This is how the test will go, my listeners! You'll be experiencing ten-minute-long 'mock cityscape maneuvers'!! Bring along whatever you want! After this presentation, you'll each head to your assigned testing location!! That's so kids from the same middle school can't help each other out, yeah? OK?!"

silence.

"And why consecutive ID numbers are assigned to different locations."

"I'll crush 'em all. But you get to live another day tch" It was that angry pomeranian again.

"Each site is filled with three kinds of faux villains. Points are awarded for defeating each according to their respective difficulty levels. Use your quirks to disable these faux villains... and earn points! That's your goal listeners!! Of course playing the antihero and attacking other examinees is prohibited!!"
"May I ask a question?! There appear  to be no fewer than four varieties of faux villains, on this handout! Such a blatant error, if it is one, is highly unbecoming for UA Japan's top academy!! We're all here in the hopes of being molded into model heroes!! And, you, with the curly hair! You've been muttering this whole time... It's distracting!! If this is some sort of game for you, then please leave immediately!"
"Sorry..." Imagine getting called out in front of hundreds of people.

"Alright alright. Examinee 7111, nice catch. Thanks! But the fourth villain variety gets you zero points! He's more of an obstacle! Have you ever 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 the close quarters!"
"Got it... So it's like a stage gimmick to be avoided. Really is like a video game then. Thank you, sir. I apologise for the interruption!"
"That's all from me!! I'll leave our listeners with our school motto. PLUS ULTRA!!"
