Chinori Susumi's POV:

You completely forget about that grape kid's idiocy as the gates open! Okay, you might be a tad easily distracted but that's completely normal! You'd wish Akari luck, but you thought of that a second too late, already running off.

You catch a shadow overhead, you look up and see... wow. A realization hits you all at once. She looks like an angel.

With her white hair falling down her neck, rosy cheeks, and feathery wings she's a dead ringer for an actual angel.

How did you not notice this sooner? The resemblance is uncanny... what, have you been living under a rock or something? Or maybe you've just been distracted with the entrance exam. Speaking of-

"Ow, frick!"

Someone charges right into you to get by. Oh yeah- you're holding up the line. Haha, whoops! You start running again and end up weaving your way towards the front.

God, you wish you had your guns with you. Wait- that came out wrong. It's not like you actually own guns or anything, that'd be crazy! Ha... ha... yep!

But that's besides the point, guns would make this so much easier! Shoot, click, boom! Dead! Easy as pie!

Alas, you've resorted to having to throw the energy bullets. You remember when you first got your quirk, it seemed so useless.

Your mom has the quirk of Energy Ribbon which allows her to condense her energy into ribbons, but they're pretty much useless like that. (She was a great ribbon dancer though)

Your dad's quirk is Improv Bullet, which lets him fill an empty gun with bullets but only if it's had bullets in it before, like an imprint.

Together, boom! Energy Bullet, a flipping amazing quirk if you do say so yourself. You can create bullets out of your energy, the more energy you put in, the stronger and faster they are. (You tend to use not a lot in order to not, ya know, kill anyone.)

It's so weak without a gun though, you have to resort to throwing them, which sucks, because then you have to put in way more energy in order for it to pack any punch at all. If you put in a lot though, they go quick and far, not to mention they're pretty fucking strong!

You make it in and run in a direction opposite from the crowd (something other than forward, the damn sheep). You turn a few corners before finding a robot being raised on a platform from below the ground. Fun!

You phase a bullet out of the palm of your hand, geez it still takes a lot out of you. It emits a striking light and shakes softly from the pent up energy.

You hold it like a dart with your index finger on the back. You pull back and then throw as hard as you can. Sure enough, it zips right through the air and straight through the big ol' three pointers' head!

You do a fist bump into the air when you feel a gust of wind pass by you. Looking up, you see Akari, taking out robots like they're nothing. Wow... shit you're distracted! Stop. Staring. You. Weirdo.

Time passes quicker than you'd like as you make your way through the streets, blowing a hole in robots wherever you go. Sometimes you'd rush a bot before it ripped apart some unsuspecting kid that probably shouldn't have been there.

After a good while, the energy of all your bullets is really getting to you. You notice your movements slowing. You hear exclamations of points gathered by those around you and you realize something.

You haven't been keeping score.

Idiot!

The points are the whole... thing! And you lost count! You could have anything from 3 to 60 and you'd never know until it's all over! God you're such an stupid fucking idiot!
