Note: Look, I know it's dry. I'm sorry. People's actual personality will be expanded in the chapter after this one. Especially this version of Izuku. In my defense, this whole thing came from a little idea I got at 11:30 P.M. And I came back into consciousness with 5,700 words, or 14 pages, of a fan fic I couldn't abandon because it was too long at 2:30 A.M the next day.
I usually write things in a mystical time period where I can be really flowery with the writing, and I don't feel like I can do that by writing about an apathetic teen. Like, I can't just write, "Izuku thought of his eyes as two worlds to the same Sun. One as hot as the blazing flowers of hell and the other grounded to the Earth's soil." That's a shitty example, but I just don't think something like that would fly here. So I'm trying to find a nice little median that goes with the modernity of the story and Izuku's mostly emotionless, and slightly chaotic, nature.
Update: I gave up. Mystic writing in future chp.
TW at the bottom (idk if there is any)

Seven hours later, Izuku was dropped off at an apartment building. It was dingy, not well litten, and smelled veugly of mildew.
'The kind of place that won't ask too many questions,' Izuku thinks.
While on the way there, whoever took him told him that he would be living alone under the pretense that his mother was out of the country for work most of the time in Singapore and his father lived in Yokohama. He was told nothing about his 'parents' jobs or relatives.
Izuku could keep track of his lies if he needed to.
'The entrance exam is in five days...' Izuku remembered a face that he hadn't seen in what felt like forever when he thought about UA, 'Oh yeah, didn't Kachan want to go to UA?' Izuku dismisses the thought.
'If he recognises me, then I'll deal with it.'

Izuku spent the rest of the five days roaming around his new 'neighborhood'. Shopping for things with the debit card his 'Father' gave him and memorizing the streets, sewer entrances, back alleys, and stores.
His 'Father' bought an apartment in a more rundown part of Masutafu, Japan. Not because it was cheaper, but because it would be more lenient of suspicious activity. Criminal activity.

He didn't need to prepare for the exams, not too much. He knew that a little usage of All for One's quirk given to him could pull him through almost anything and the written and multiple choice exam also wouldn't be a problem. All for One made sure of that.
What would actually be a problem is holding his quirk back at first, allowing room for the illusion of 'growth' in the future as well as not standing out.
Even though he had been with the power for about three years, his control over it was still finite. Controlling it was like controlling lightning's high voltage. Holding it back was even more difficult.
All it wished to do was steal from everything around it and shove it in Izuku's body. If Izuku let that happen, he would burn up to a crisp.

During the days, few villains came out and many heroes roamed around the streets. Almost no heroes came around under the moonlight. Criminals of all kinds replaced them. For now, Izuku would avoid them. He would go out at night to see how they moved and the politics of different groups from the rooftops. Never seen or heard. Just as always. A little moth fluttering around an bright street light spying on the rats below.

UA was just as big as any website said. Two shinning glass towers reflected the perfect blue of the sky, a grand metal fence opened for the entrance exams. Little cherry blossom buds peeked out from branches. Waiting patiently for the right time to bloom.
Baby chick blond hair shot out in the corner of his eye. Furrius red eyes lingered on him a little too long. As if seeing a ghost of the past, his eyes darkened. A shadow passing over his face before he quickly looked away.
'I really hope the dye was enough. I even dyed my eye brows. Which was way harder than it should have been,' Izuku thought. He didn't dare look back at Kasuki Bakugo.
Izuku was sat somewhere far away from Kasuki. He answered just enough questions right to get a ninety four percent for the multiple choice portion, and did the same for the written portion. Scattering the scrors a little from eachother.
Present Mic and his cockatoo like blond hair eccentrically explained the second portion of the exam.
Four kinds of robots to take down. Easiest to take down was worth one point, second easiest was two, the hardest was worth three, and a mystery one was worth zero points.
'The real question is how will I use the quirk?' Izuku asks himself, 'what I do now will lay out how I will use my quirk for maybe the whole time I'm here. The easiest would be to just use how All for One put on the form. Like a fire quirk that shoots heat into whatever I touch. Not specifically just fire, more heat to melt the insides. That will be easy enough. I will just have to be careful not to leave ice or frost anywhere.'
To Izuku's relief, Bakugo was not in the same arena as him.
The entrance exam started without a countdown. He rushed into the mock city where the exam took place and started to immediately take down one-pointer's. Melting one inside after another. Rendering them immoble by welding their joints together.
He decided to take energy from the black pavement beneath him. Concentrating all of its energy into one ray of heat.
'1, 3, 3, 2, 1...' Izuku kept count, 'by now, I'm up to forty five, I still have five minutes left.'  A thought graced his mind. A vengeful thought, 'you know what would really be funny? If I got first place... and Kasuki didn't.' Izuku thought about it, 'I mean, It's not like Father told me to not do the best on the entrance exam. Just because I get first place doesn't necessarily mean that I will stand out for long. I need to prove that I'm serious after all...'
A soft smile peeked out in his face. He looked to the Sun, feeling its warmth. Storing it beneath his skin. He felt his cheeks flush with heat, his skin burning.
He searched for the heat of the robots around him, 'three three pointers, fifteen meters. Five one pointer's, sixteen to twenty meters... oh wow, there are a lot of them left still! And, ten two pointers about ten to forty five meters from me,' all at once, he let out a heat wave of targeted destruction. Dodging all of the applicants in its way. Hitting only the robots he felt. Disrupting the electrical circuit in the robots just enough to render them immoble.
He ran around, repeated the process quickly a few more times.
'The release of energy, finally.' Izuku thinks. The uptake and release of energy felt like a great heaviness was lifted off of his shoulders.
