"This is it, kid," Present Mic says, walking up to the door and grabbing the handle. He opens it, nodding for me to go in. I step into a small white room, feeling my heart pound in my chest.

"This is as far as I can take you, Nakamura," Mic says, a small frown on his face. "Good luck." His smile looks kinda sad, like he's worried. If he's worried, this test must be even harder than I thought.

I stand in the middle of the room when a voice booms from a speaker in the corner. "Hello, Ms. Nakamura," Nezu's voice echoes. "The first stage of the exam will start in 5 seconds." His tone is creepy. "5," I'm not ready. "4," I can't do this. "3," I run my hands over my face. "2," you have to do this, y/n, I tell myself. "1," I have to do this for me. For once, I need to do something for me.

The walls around me drop, revealing a fake city street.

"The first stage of the exam is rescue operations. An earthquake has struck, and 5 civilians are trapped in an office building. To earn the complete 25 points, you must get all 5 civilians out of the building and to a safe space. Good luck."

The road has huge cracks, and most of the buildings are wrecked. One building, still partly standing but with a collapsed roof and side, catches my eye. That has to be the office building. I sprint toward it when I hear a woman scream from inside.

"HELP! MY LEG IS STUCK!" she yells. I open the door and see her, legs trapped under a chunk of concrete. I run over and try to lift the wall, but it's too heavy. Using my quirk, I slip some branches underneath the concrete, lifting it just enough to pull her out.

"Please, my son is in the other room," she cries, clutching my arm.

"Let me help you first. I'll get to your son, I promise," I say, i know she's an actress but I'm still taking this seriously. "Can you feel your legs, ma'am?" I ask.

"No, I think they're broken," she replies. I put her on my back and strap her to me with a vine.

"Which way is your son?" I ask.

"Down that hall," she points weakly. I hurry down the hallway until I reach a door, opening it to see a little boy hiding under a table. He seems uninjured, but his face is covered in dirt. I kneel in front of the table.

"Are you alright?" I ask, but he doesn't answer, just sits with his head buried in his knees. Nezu's voice replays in my head, "This isn't a normal exam." They don't want me to just save these people; I need to calm them down like a hero would.

"Wanna see something cool?" I ask. The boy lifts his head slightly, a single blue eye peeking out. I cup my hands and use my quirk to grow a single blue flower, "Calmity," used to calm a person down. Using my quirk, I intensify the smell, sending it towards the boy to calm him down. I hand him the flower.

"Can you hold onto me?" I ask, opening my arms. He jumps into them, holding onto my neck. I bring the mother and son out of the building and look for a safe place. Spotting a large patch of grass, I put the boy down and grow a tree from the ground, its branches forming a table-like surface. I gently place the woman on it.

"I have to get everyone out. Take care of her for me?" I ask the boy at his level.

"Ok!" he says, giving me an encouraging thumbs up.

Two down, three to go. As I run through the office building, I see pieces of rubble moving. I use my quirk to lift the rocks, revealing a man underneath.

"Sir, are you alright?" I ask as he coughs.

"I think my arm's broken." He looks at his arm. It's kind of funny because his arm looks totally fine, but I know he's an actor. "Okay." I create a makeshift arm sling with a large leaf and a vine, bringing him to his feet. "Can you walk, or would you like me to carry you?"

"I can walk," he says.

"Do you think you can make it out of the building?"

"Yeah, I think I can," he says, but I don't miss his judging look. I shouldn't let him go alone.

"I'll take you," I insist. We both run toward the lobby. "Out the door to the left is a large tree. There's a woman and child there. Go sit down!" I yell, running back into the building. The first floor is clear, but I need to find the stairs. Turning a corner, I come across a set of broken stairs.

"Can't climb up that," I mutter, letting out a sigh. I use my quirk to create a wooden ladder, propping it up toward the top of the stairs. On the second floor, I find a middle-aged man with his arm trapped under a fallen beam. The roof above me creaks ominously as i run to help him.

"Sir, I'm here to help," I say, moving the beam off his arm and seeing blood. It looks fake, like Halloween store blood. I grow a vine from my hand and tie it above the wound to stop the blood flow.

"Can I take off your tie?" I ask.

"Uhm, sure," he replies, confused. I untie it and push it against the 'wound.'

"Hold this here to stop the bleeding," I instruct, picking him up and strapping him to my back. If he had lost a lot of blood, it makes sense to carry him. We go down the ladder and exit the building. I place him against the tree trunk.

"Keep applying pressure. Don't let go," I tell him, running back into the building. One more person. As I navigate the second floor, a chunk of the roof falls directly above me but i use my vines to push it away before it can crush me. I stop when I find a woman sitting against a wall, a large "cut" across her thigh.

"I'm here to help," I say, bandaging her thigh like I did the last guy.

"Thank you so much," the blonde woman says. I place her on my back and start making my way downstairs when the roof starts shaking. A crack forms right through the middle of it, debris falling. I bring up my hand to cover my face, and a large vine follows with it. I create sturdy vines on either side of the room, connecting them on top to keep the roof from caving in. I quickly run toward the door, feeling my vines straining under the weight of the building. I make it out just in time; the building collapses behind me, leaving only dust and rubble. I place the woman down by the tree and hear Nezu's voice.

"Congratulations on finishing the first stage, Ms. Nakamura. You've been awarded the complete 25 points for saving all 5 civilians," he says. "Walk through the white door at the end of the road to continue to the next stage of the exam."

I look down the street. The white door seems a million miles away, dust swirls around me. My legs feel a bit weak, but I keep moving, determined. Finally, I reach the door, pausing for a second to calm my self, I grab the handle, my palm sweaty, and step inside, ready for whatever comes next
