Chapter 4: UA Entrance Exam

A/N: From here until I finish this book, everything will be slightly different but more or less the same, since Izuku will be essentially THE strongest on the planet, everything in this story will be more intense.

Izuku was standing at the UA gates, taking in the scene in front of him. He's been here for almost a year but this specific scene always makes him question whether this was happening or not, yet he had to push through. He took a few steps forward and began the long-track to the exam hall.

Unknown to him, the Rat God himself was watching through the cameras of the entrance. Drinking his tea and had an idea.

Nezu: Let's have a little fun my friend.

Nezu proceeds to press a button that moves a brick that's in the path of Izuku, the brick moved upwards and catches his foot. This would have made him fall flat on his face yet caught himself using [Flight], he straightened himself up but had feeling someone was about to touch him. His reflexes took control and grabbed the hand that dared even thinking of laying a finger on him and was about to let loose a punch...

[Zero Gravity Copied] Evolved [Gravity Manipulation]

...he stopped himself and looked up the hand he was holding, green met with chocolate brown. A round face with a permanent blush and brown hair that had two tuffs framing her face, she was wearing a female school uniform he didn't recognize. Izuku kept on staring at her until she spoke...

???: Uhm, do you mind letting go? You're kind of hurting my wrist.

Realizing she was right, he immediately let go.

Izuku: Sorry about that, but next time don't just try to grab someone out of nowhere.

???: Oh, it looked like you were about to fall and hurt yourself so I thought I should help. My mistake.

Izuku just nodded and continued on his way, walking inside the building and thinking of a way of getting payback Nezu for almost making him fall. He made it to the exam room that was packed full of students from different schools from different parts of Japan. One had six arms and a mask covering their face, another had a bird head and one was overly dressed for the occasion.

He found a empty seat and waited while the room was still filling up with more students, a few minutes passed before a man in a trench coat entered the room.

???: Greetings students, my name is Ectoplasm and I'll be your proctor for the duration of this portion of the exam. 

He gave a short bow.

Ectoplasm: Please settle down and remain calm, I know some of you are nervous but the first step in becoming a hero is courage and all of you display said courage by being here.

That managed to ease some of their anxiety.

The written portion will test you on how you answer these questions truthfully and honestly, now I will hand out the papers so please remain silent.

Ectoplasm spits out a gray fluid that takes the form of clones, each one distributes a stack of papers in each row. Yet when he reached Izuku's desk, he handed him a much thinner stack compared to everyone else's.

Ectoplasm: The Principle had informed me to hand you this specific exam he personally made, I do not know what it contains but I wish you luck.

The exam he received was a simple piece of paper that had one question, that question was "Where did Quirks originally come from?". Himself and Nezu would always discuss theories that justified how quirks were formed, they'd spend hours on the topic but never had any relevant evidence that pointed to a final answer. Even without an answer, they'd always enjoy their time together, like Uncle and Nephew.
