Song of the Heart

II

||[Age: 15; Place: UA High School]||

Izuku's POV:
In a span of ten months later, it was the day of the entrance exam of UA. To say I was nervous was an understatement. It was like my first day in the Nivaro's Dance and Music School. I was still not as confident as my other side. A week before the exam, I was able to finish my training with All Might and passed his quirk (single strand of hair) to me and was able to train me more. So far, I'm only able to activate 5 percent of it and cpurse it through my entire body thanks to Gran Torino's teaching.

Now, I was standing at the front gates of UA itself. Hopefully, things will go smoothly during the practical exam as long as I don't slip up on my original quirk. All Might doesn't even know about it. I just took my first few steps to the entrance when I tripped on my own two feet like the idiot I am. I can dance the sway easily and yet I'm still this clumsy. The concrete came closer and I closed my eyes for the impact-

Why was it slow? I took a peek and I felt so light. A sweet voice came from the side.

???: "Are you ok?"

I looked directly at the chocolatey brown hues standing next to me. This girl had brown hair in a bob cut that framed her chubby, rosy cheeks. She put me upright and clasped her hands and smiled at me so sweetly. Cute.

???: "I'm sorry for using my quirk on you without asking. But it's bad luck if you trip and fall on the first day, right?"

I didn't answer and she jogged to the steps after waving at me. And I realized that I've been gawking at her like an idiot. Great going. I shoved those thoughts away for a bit and followed the rest to the auditorium.

>>LATER<<

I was standing at the gates of a fake city where I was assigned to with many more people. Our job was to destroy as many robots and gain as many points as we can. There were four faux villains, one-pointer, two-pointer, three-pointer, and the zero-pointer. It should be easy. I looked at the other applicants with me and I questioned why they looked so confident.

Among the crowd, I saw a familiar head of brown hair. It was that nice girl. I wanted to thank her for earlier but I stipped myself since she looked like she was preparing herself. When I concluded that, a hand was placed on my shoulder, making me jump. It was the navy-haired kid that called me out for my muttering habit that I can't to simply drop.

???: "Are you going to distract that girl over there? She looks like she's preparing for something. Are you trying to sabotage others?"

Ok, what?

I was about to answer when I saw the gates swing open. I sprinted inside the fake city and I heard the others laughing behind me.

Present Mic: "HEY, HEY, HEY! THERE'S NO TIMER TO WHEN TO START. RUN, RUN, RUUUNNNN!!"

He's right, y'know.

I was countered by a one-pointer. I didn't stop running as I activated One For All through my body and delivered a punch to the robot. It was destroyed almost immediately. I put in my headphones and started to play music to keep me focused.

I kept running, fighting robots using some of my dance moves for agility, and stopping to save a few people. I was able rack 51 points and the ground rumbled under my feet. A giant faux villain started to slowly come to our direction. So this must be the zero-pointer. The ones around started to run and I was about to join when I heard someone say ow. I looked back and it was that very same girl.

It's bad luck if you trip and fall on the first day, right?

I ran towards the giant, deadly robot. I leapt at the robot putting a percentage of 50 on my legs. I was able to jumpe to the top and delivered a 100% smash to it's head. My legs hurt but not broken, my arm is completely broken. And the next thing I knew, I was floating centimeters from the ground. I looked at the girl, who was riding on top of a decapitated robot head. Her face tells me that she was about to hurl. She pressed her fingers together after a while.

???: "R-Release."

I landed safely on the concrete and so did the robot head she was on. She put her hands on her mouth. Uh oh. I pulled her hair back while she puked her guts out. Maybe it was the limit of her quirk. When she finished, I didn't know what else to do so I ackwardly rubbed circles on her back with my left hand. No girl ever approached me in school so let's just I'm ackward around girls.

Recovery Girl: "Ok, good work from all of you."

The old lady came to us and gently poked me with her cane.

Recovery Girl: "Oh dear. Your arm doesn't look so good. Can I...?"

She pointed at my arm, and I nodded to give her my consent. She kissed me at. The. CHEEK! I know that his was her healing quirk was rare to come by but this isn't what I imagined it be. My arm went back to normal and I felt so exhausted. Everything after was a blur and before I knew it, I was walking home after we took the written exam.

Tiana: "Ok, class! Ready?"

All of us lined up as per Tiana Nivaro's, one of Mrs. Nivaro's nieces, and she started to clap her hands. She teaches dance woth one of her sisters, Trish, and her Mom, Mrs. Nivaro's sister. She was currently teaching us ballroom. She clapped her hands to match the beat. Some almost stumbled at the steps but I did it withiut trouble. When it was close to the end, I stopped and bowed.

Trish: "Splendid! Remember, class, it's all about the footsteps. That's all for today!"

We packed our stuff and I was about to leave the room when Jules, one of Mrs. Nivaro's nephews, came running to me.

Jules: "Izu! The letter came!"

Me: "What?"

He shoved a white envelope with the UA wax seal on it. I fumbled with my fingers as I rip the ketter open.
