The days following my awakening at UA High School were a blur of medical check-ups, paperwork, and introductions. My life had taken an unexpected turn, I was still grappling with the reality of it all. I had spent so many years without a quirk, convinced that my dream of becoming a hero was out of reach. Now, with my quirk finally manifested, I felt a mix of excitement and trepidation.

Before I knew it I became a first year starting with the freshman students. It's now my first official day at UA, I was escorted to my new classroom by Mr. Aizawa. The hallways buzzed with the energy of students, each one unique and brimming with potential. The walls were adorned with posters of famous heroes, reminding us of the legacy we were expected to uphold.

"Here we are," Mr. Aizawa said, stopping in front of a door labelled 1-A. "This is your class. Try to get along with everyone. And remember, you're here to learn and grow." I nodded, taking a deep breath before stepping inside. The classroom was spacious, filled with natural light streaming in from large windows. My new classmates were scattered around the room, chatting and laughing. Some glanced my way, curiosity evident in their eyes but one Bakugo didn't seem to notice.

"If you are just here to make friends then pack your stuff up now," Aizawa says getting everyone's attention. "Welcome to UA's hero course. It took eight seconds for you all to shut up, that's not going to work as time is precious. Rational students would understand that." His words oddly made sense. "Hello, I'm Shota Aizawa. Your teacher,' He introduced himself to the rest of the class and pulled out a gym uniform. "Let's get to it then, get these on and head outside". I grabbed my bag and went to the changing room, The room was as like any changing room, Lockers, showers, and a bathroom. I got changed quickly falling behind a little.

I made it outside and Aizawa explained We would be doing a quirk assessment test. "What about orientation won't we miss it?" A girl asked. "If you want to make the big leagues you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies. Here at UA we're not tethered to traditions. So with that I can run my class however I see fit". The class murmured a bit as he then continued, "You've all been taking standardized tests for most of your lives. However, you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The world is still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational, one day the Ministry of Education will learn.'

He was right; I understand that this world isn't fair. People without quirks, those with villainous quirks, or individuals who couldn't use their quirks right away were treated differently. It's something that people will never fully grasp—how their actions impact those they look down upon.

"Bakugo, you managed to earn the most points on the entrance exam. What was your furthest distance throw with a softball?" Aizawa asked. "Sixty-seven meters I think," was Bakugo's answer. "Right, now try doing it with your quirk." I watched as he walked up getting into the circle. "Anything goes as long as you stay in the circle." With that Bakugo threw the ball yelling his normal die. The ball went far and Aizawa showed the results " All of you need to know your maximum capabilities, It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a pro hero." Aizawa said as he showed the small device in his hand showing the score. 705.2 M. The class started to minor in surprise and a few started saying how fun and cool this was going to be. Only for Aizawa to give a shit-eating grin.

It wasn't till he said this that everyone gets series. "You will be facing several tests to gouge your potential ever comes in last or has none, will be expelled immediately." With that, the class didn't seem pleased and started saying how unfair it was."Consider this: are natural disasters fair? What about the heartless villains, power-hungry antagonists lurking in the shadows, ready to devastate cities? Not at all. The truth is, our world is rife with unfairness. As aspiring heroes, it's our mission to challenge and conquer that unfairness. If you're serious about becoming a professional heroes, be prepared to push your limits like never before. Over the next three years, UA will unleash a relentless series of challenges that will test your strength and resilience. So, rise to the occasion and go beyond Plus Ultra-style. Show me it's no mistake that you're here."  Just like that, we were off.
