The Heroic Mime

Chapter 17

Izuku got up at five thirty in the morning, he was so excited for the day he couldn't fall asleep again once he had woken up the first time.

He decided to burn some calories to calm down so he went to the parking lot by the side of his apartment complex, luckily at that hour no one was there so he had freedom of movement.

He had been doing exercises to train his body for a few months and following Mirio's advice he did bodyweight training mainly because he didn't want to lose mobility or flexibility; he still laughed when he thought of people doing stupid workouts like a hundred push ups, a hundred curls and so on, he wanted to see one of those idiots completely bent forward with his chest like a spoon because they did only pushing exercises.

Izuku on the other hand did workouts the right way and he didn't even need any equipment, he needed a pull up bar? Mime it. Dip station? Mime it. He was becoming somewhat of a calisthenic athlete.

He heard the alarm fixed for seven o'clock coming from his watch so he went back to his house, he had a quick shower and by the time he was dressed his mother had already prepared breakfast.

"Mom you know you didn't have to prepare pancakes right? I would've been fine with milk and cereals."

"I know but today is a special day isn't it? And besides I used protein powder to make them."

"Mom don't drag me into your gym-mania."

"Says the one who wakes up at five thirty in the morning to work out."

Izuku had never been able to win any argument against his mother so he just sighed, conscious of his loss and ate his breakfast.

At seven thirty he was ready to go so he went outside the entrance of his apartment complex to wait for Katsumi, five minutes later she was there, ready in the tracksuit she used for her capoeira training, he, on the other hand, was dressed as he usually would.

"So how do you want to go there? Car or motorbike?"

"Let's go with the bike, I need a rush of adrenaline to be in top shape."

And so two teens were shooting through the streets of Musutafu on an invisible bike.

At a traffic light a boy and his older brother were sitting in their car waiting for the light to turn green, both of them had blue hair, a squared face and the youngest wore glasses and if they hadn't been different in age they could've been mistaken for twins; the younger brother was sitting straight on seat, looking outside the window to ease his nervousness for the upcoming exam when he saw two teens right beside him, floating on nothing.

"Brother there are two people floating in the middle of the road." he said, he was confused.

"Is one of them a boy with green hair?"

"Yes, why?"

"He is Tsukauchi's boy, don't even bother trying to understand."

"But brother they started speeding over the limit while doing a wheelie..."

"It could be a really fast penny farthing."

"What?"

Tensei didn't answer his brother's questions and drived calmly towards UA.

Izuku stopped in front of the entrance of UA, he was excited, after all the exam would be broadcasted all across the nation and he wanted to make himself known from the first moment; busy in his thoughts he didn't notice a brick sticking out of the floor so he tripped and tried to use his quirk to stop the fall, before he could even activate it two arms stooped him from falling and he found himself in a casquè, held by a blonde boy dressed with quite the eccentric shirt "Mon amì, you should pay more attention because you can't find someone as fantastique as me saving you everytime." Izuku looked at the boy and thought "If we both pass I'm going to ask him to do a performance with me, he's the flashiest person I have ever seen, why does he seem to sparkle?"
