PROVISIONAL POWER

The bus had finally arrived at the National Dagoba Arena and all of 1-A got off, some nervous while others were looking forward to the challenge with anticipation. Aizawa spoke to the whole class, "If you can pass this test and get your provisional licenses, then you novice eggs will become chicks... You'll hatch into semi-pros. Do your best."

Kaminari had the spirit, pumping his fist up as he declared, "All right! I'll become a chick!!"

Beside him, Juniper slung an arm over his shoulder with a goofy grin, "I support you and your identity, Kaminari!! Let's be chicks!!!"

Kirishima was equally excited about the test, "Let's all call out the usual! Ready, set, Plus—"

"ULTRAAAA!!!"

From behind them, a tall boy from another school had joined into their cheer, having the goofiest grin of all as he pumped a fist in the air with a slight blush. Two other students from the same school chastized him for butting in, "You shouldn't just barge in on other people's huddles, Inasa."

YOARASHI INASA straightened up at this comment, "Oh, no! I am... very... extremely... SORRY!!!" He went even further than a 90 degree bow, planting the top of his head into the ground to show the depth of his apology. It was so much force that blood slowly dripped down his forehead. "I wanted to try saying it just once!! PLUS ULTRA!! I love UA High School! I am extremely honored to be able to compete against UA students!!! I'm looking forward to it!!!!!!!"

Juniper felt weird looking at the boy, moving to stand in front of him as he bled. She narrowed her eyes at him, and he did the same. Both moved in sync, unintentionally. Raising one arm, lifting a leg, spinning around and making a face. They both even fake started walking away before running back and saying, "RAHHH, got you!!! Hey what the heck?!?! Stop copying me!!!"

It wasn't until another Shiketsu student called over Inasa that the two stopped mirroring each other, "Let's get going."

The girl walked back over to Shoto, scratching her head and standing beside him and Katsuki, "That guy was weird."

Aizawa spoke to inform the class about the strange student, "Yoarashi Inasa. He's... strong. Last year, the same year as you guys, Yoarashi got the top scores of those admitted through reccomendations. But for some reason, he turned down his acceptance."

Midoriya was shocked at this revelation,  "What? Then he's a first year..."

Bringing a hand up to his chin, Sero thought about it aloud, "Even though he says he loves UA, he threw away his chance to enroll. I don't get it."

"He's weird but he's the real thing."

Juniper got distracted as Ms Joke spoke to her teacher, instead thinking about Yoarashi and how odd their interaction was. She messed with her quirk nullification cuff, latching and unlatching one out of the three, until a boy with black hair came over to the students. He stuck his hand out toward Juniper with a grin, "You're Juniper, aren't you? Along with Bakugo, you two were the focus of the Kamino ward incident but you specifically! You have such a strong spirit, I look forward to learning from you!"

She leaned down slightly to be at eye level and gave a fake grin while tucking her hands behind her back, "Learn from a safe distance or else you might get caught in the crossfire~"

"Hey, change into your costumes and get ready for orientation. Don't waste time."

"Yes sir!!"

They did as he said, heading to the locker rooms and putting on their hero costumes. Juniper brought a random little toy with her before they headed into the packed room filled with aspiring heroes.
