Standing in your place you stare, intimidated from the rather large school building. Before you were surprised by the gate and how high tech it looked. But seriously, this topped the cake.

You took a recap in your head how it all came to this, in hopes to ease your worry.

Walking to the kitchen you excitedly greeted your sister. "Fuyu-nee!" You chirp clinging to her waist as she stood by the stove.

"(Y/N)..!" She gasps in surprise before laughing along with you. "Good morning Silly, since you're here why not you help me set the table, huh?" Fuyumi smiled cheekily nudging you along to do your assigned work.

Soon enough, Shōtō came into the kitchen in his middle school uniform and a backpack in hand. "Morning Shōtō!" You cheered in your seat by the table. With a hum, Shōtō took the place next to you.

"Big Bro, Natsuo, was staying at his girlfriend's house last night, right?" You asked Fuyumi when you noticed your other brother's absence.

"You know him." Fuyumi say with a nervous sigh.

"Will you get a girlfriend, Shōtō?" You curiously asked making the boy paused midway to his first bite.

"Why do you say that?"

"Uh well..."Your face turns bright red when you processed your words and quickly covered your mouth. Your brother just stared at you confused. "I-Its just that..um well.... i-if you have... a girlfriend.. then you m-might not always.... be a-a-around.." You mumble looking at your lap with a shy flutter to your eyes.

"Awe, does little (Y/N) wants to be Shōtō's favorite girl?~" Fuyumi giggles making your protest with a bright red face.

"T-That's not true...!" You whine but the woman was having too much fun to stop. Though it all ended when Shōtō placed a hand on your head.

"Don't be ridiculous, (Y/N). I don't have time to focus on that." Shōtō gently ruffled your pink hair.

"You alone are a lot to deal with." You pout and childishly complaining to him.

In only for a flash of a second, you saw his lips twitched up and it made your heart flutter.

'I made Shōtō smile!!!!'

You let out a contented sigh. That sure did ease your nervousness. 'Alright!' You coaxed yourself watching the building and the students of various school's filing into the three large doors that have the numbers for each year.

'Time to go!' You marched onwards but never made it to your second step as you bumped into someone. "Sorry!" You squeaked backing up with red cheeks. Looking up your grey-ish turquoise eyes met a pair of sharp dark eyes. You blink in curiosity as the towering man with loom over you.

What caught your attention at first was his sharp features, but trailing to his shoulders you noticed that...

"You have extra arms..!" You gasp in awe.

The male in question didn't know what to say, but somehow he felt comfortable. Even with your sudden outburst. "Yes, " he replied curtly, "does it bother you?"

You were quick to shake your head. "Of course not, I just never met someone with a kind of quirk.." You shyly explain, your confidence dwindling down to the rock bottom floor.

"A-Ah... I am so sorry, " you squeak backing away from the boy "I was getting ahead of myself there..." The tip of your ears tinted pink in the cold morning air. Not wanting him to see the embarrassed state you're in, you turned away from him, coaxing yourself to stop being so nervous.

"It's okay, " you jump when his voice suddenly appeared beside you. Looking to your left you noticed a mouth, trailing to where it's connected you realized it was part of the multi-armed man behind you. You basically have stars in your eyes from the amazement you got from just one person. It got you thinking.

'If he is already cool, then... that means that everyone else here should be amazing too!'

The thought of being surrounded by many interesting people got you excited about the idea.

"My name is Shoji. Nice to meet you." The silver-haired male greeted with a smile that came from a mouth formed in the place of one of his hands and with his second hand from the same shoulder, he shook hands with you.

"Nice to meet you too!" You beam with a soft smile, "I hope we can get along well!"

Content and refreshed in your aura, unbeknownst to him, Shoji decided not to waste time and head into the building. "It's almost time for the entrance exam." Shoji explained, "its best to register ourselves now."

"You're right. Let's go!"

[--]

Entering the large building you and Shoji found your seats in the large examination room. Along with many students from different schools, you took the written exam.

It was a deafening nightmare for you since almost every other sound seems louder than it normally was. If it weren't for your inability to be negative or salty, you would have physically shown it on your face.

But in the end, you accidentally activated your quirk and everyone answered the test, stress-free, unlike you. You were in internal chaos.

The time flew before you knew it--well, not really. You were painfully of the seconds that pass by. 

And now it was finally time for the well-awaited part of the exam, the practical exam. That was an incredibly unoriginal name. But you were bad with them.

"Hey! Are you ready!?" Screamed the loud hero, Present Mic. "Yea--" you quickly zipped your mouth when you accidentally replied earning a slight glance from Shoji, who sat beside you, amused with the red embarrassed on your face while you avoid his gaze.

After listening to a student suddenly interrupting the hero's instruction and openly scolding/humiliating another student because of his muttering, numbers were handed out to the students.

"These are the numbers for the area we will be taking right?" You clarified with Shoji who nodded and looked at his identity card. "Yes, but it seems that they separate the students who come from the same school to make sure students from the school cannot pair up."

"But since we are sitting together, I guess we aren't gonna be in the same area." You sadly say earning a mildly disappointed nod from him.

"Then I hope to see you again in school," Shoji spoke. You smiled at him and shook all of his hands in a childish way one last time for now.

Saying another parting greet, you went off to get your bag where your gym clothes are held in. 'Okay, okay! Time to get serious!' You coax yourself internally.

'I did what Shōtō said to me before. Don't draw any attention to yourself, have a company you can rely on to keep you well for the short amount of time and pass the exam.' You nervously listed the things Shoto spoke to you the other day.

'Ah..! I hope I can pass! I mean I know I can! Cause I am following what Shōtō says. I'll be fine.' You tremble under the countless possibilities that could happen during the reward. 'I am so nervous!!'

"Hey, do you notice that girl over there?"

"The one who is shivering in fear?"

"She looked so cute like that!"

You jump looking over your shoulder and found a group of individuals chattering making you panic.

'Oh no, I failed on of Shōtō's task!'
