A/N Woo! Got this out in less than a month thanks to my beta readers Silenthorse, Zurgboy2, and Gamer_kid1609! With all their help things are being finished faster than before, and I know they greatly increase the quality of this story. Aside from that I hope you enjoy this chapter!

'This is a little weird.' Thought Uraraka, as she was being carried to the nurses office by Izuku. Granted, she liked being carried by him, but after the initial surprise wore off, she worried what would happen if his girlfriends saw them like this. She didn't want to be the one causing a problem between the three of them.

"So, how do you think you did in the exam?" Asked Izuku kindly, failing to pick up on Uraraka's inner turmoil.

"Huh? Oh, I'm not sure to be honest. I got about 38 points, which I don't think would have happened if you hadn't helped me so much today." Answered Uraraka, a little down that she couldn't get more points. If only she didn't get involved with the zero-pointer.

"All I did this morning was pay you back for practically saving me and Mei. After that, all we did was have a nice chat before the exam started." Said Izuku with a smile that Uraraka could only describe as warm and radiant.

"But it helped more than you know! Not only did you prevent me from doing the exam hungry, but you helped calm me down." She said resolutely, refusing to let him play down his part.

"Well I'm glad I was able to help. Just remember, you're the one who took the exam. You deserve the credit." Replied Izuku, not noticing the silent sigh Uraraka let out. She figured that was going to be the best she would get.

Looking around a bit, Uraraka noticed how sure Izuku seemed to be as he walked. "You seem to know where the nurse's office is. Has your mom brought you to the school before?" Asked Uraraka, wanting to get to know her rescuer a bit more.

"The staff and their families live on campus actually, so Recovery Girl has pretty much been my primary doctor since moving here. They put it as close to the hero training facilities as possible, while still keeping it close to the support studio." Explained Izuku.

Uraraka's immediate instinct was to question why it had to be close to the support studio, until she remembered exactly the kind of stuff they build in there, and the tools they use. "I imagine she's kept quite busy. Especially on days like today." She responded thoughtfully.

"Thankfully they call in extra doctors for the entrance exam. We just happened to get granny at our site." Responded Izuku, leaving out how the chances of it being a coincidence were basically zero. Though the thought of her choosing his site did make him smile. "But yeah, she's not a fan of the entrance exam. She hates seeing anyone hurt, but she has extra contempt for the entrance exam since it's dangerous and almost every examinee has zero training for such scenarios."

"I don't blame her." Responded Uraraka exasperated. "Robots attacking us, which included missiles and a giant robot massive enough to topple buildings like toy bricks. I'm lucky the rubble just got my foot rather than landing on my head! That's not even adding the fact that it almost ran over me!" She said, sounding more and more frustrated as she realized how close the test came to killing her.

Her anger rose when she heard Izuku chuckle.

"I know how it looks from an outside perspective, but our lives were never on the line." Responded Izuku, confusing the seething girl. "I realized it after noticing how quickly Recovery Girl got to you. We were a good distance away from the entrance, meaning someone told her about your injury and she entered while the exam was still going on." He said, giving Uraraka a reassuring smile. "While I don't have all the facts, I do know there are fail-safes in the robots to protect people's lives. So, while they do attack us, they'd stop short of hurting us too much, and protect if need be. I learned that from uncle Powerloader, when he was grumbling about making so many robots since he had to make sure the program was installed correctly. I've heard Uncle Nezu say many times that his students' safety is his number one priority. There's no doubt that includes examinees. Besides, if every entrance exam was that dangerous, then we would have heard about someone getting killed over the years."
