Y/N L/N, a girl with water quirk and an aspiration of becoming a hero, joins the U.A. Academy along with her previous school classmates - Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo. Although they weren't exactly 'good friends', they knew each other through t...
"What?! A quirk assessment test?!" Everyone said looked at Aizawa.
"But the orientation? We're going to miss it." Ochaco whined.
"If you really wanna make it to the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies. Here at U.A. we are unrestricted to school traditions. That means I get to run my class however I see fit. You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives, but you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country is still trying to pretend we are all created equal. It's not rational and oneday the Ministry of Education will learn." Aizawa turned to Bakugou and continued, "Bakugou, you managed to get the most points in the entrance exam. What was the farthest distance throw of the soft ball when you were in junior high?"
"67 meters I think." He answered.
"Right. Try doing it with your quirk." Aizawa said as Bakugou got into position inside a circle. "Anything goes, just stay in the circle. Go on, you're wasting your time."
"Alright then, you asked for it." Bakugou said.
"When will he ever learn to respect people? He's our teacher for god's sake." Y/N thought.
Bakugou used a huge amount of force and blasted off the ball to a high level. Midoriya looked nervous as Y/N gave him a reassuring smile, which was of no use to be honest. Let's be real, but if people think that a simple smile could suddenly make the anxiety go away like 'poof' then Y/N would've ended up with a confidence higher than Bakugou's, considering the amount of times Midoriya gave her a smile whenever she was about to give an exam. Ofcourse, she knew that but she always offered a smile anyway, in the hope of reassuring the fact that no matter what the result is, nothing will make any difference towards their friendship.
"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." Aizawa said showing Bakugou's score to the students, "It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a pro hero."
"Woah, 705.2 metres? Are you kidding me?!" Kaminari said.
"I wanna go! That looks like fun!" Mina said in excitement.
Everyone had different reactions towards the test. Y/N smirked and muttered "show off" as Bakugou walked back to his place
"So this looks fun huh?" Aizawa interrupted the students, "You have three years to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be games and play time? Idiots. Today you will compete in eight physical tests to show your potential. Whoever comes in last will be expelled immediately."
Everyone looked shocked while Y/N looked confused. "We can't be the only class taking part in these test. This is bullshit. They can't just expel us just after we got admission in this school. Although, the U.A. High teachers do have a lot of power in their hands....well, whatever it is, I have to give my best."
Ochaco, as always spoke up, "You can't send one of us home! I mean we just got here, even if it wasn't the first day. That isn't fair!"
"Oh and you think natural disasters are? The power-hungry villains? Hm? Catastrophic accidents that wipe up whole cities? No. The world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to overcome that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro, you have to push yourself to the brink. For the upcoming three years you will face one hardship over another. So go beyond, plus ultra style. Show me it's no mistake that you're here."

Soon the tests began and Y/N used her quirk on one tests after the other, although she didn't use her full potential - she didn't want to wash up the whole ground and make it wet. So she used it tactically where her water powers is not making a hindrance to the others participating in the test. She kept it under control as much as she could.
But she did observe the people with other quirks and how they are better in some tests and lack in some. And as expected, Bakugou was good in all of them and even though Y/N too could try and be good in it, she did lack in concentration.
That was the difference between the other students and Y/N when it came to Bakugou. They all had the opinion of how Bakugou was born this way but she knew better. Yes, Bakugou had amazing skills but the amount of hard work it required to concentrate and be dedicated enough to perfectly balance the amount of quirk exerted according to the person was too much. A person can be born with a cool quirk, but if it is not trained and met up to it's potential, it is of no use.
And Bakugou had it handled, along with his studies. In a way, Y/N would hate to admit it but she was jealous of him and how he was able to handle everything. Ofcourse he had a reason to be smug about it.
They soon came to the final test of throwing the ball with their quirk. Everyone did well - Ochaco did exceptionally well, considering her quirk was zero gravity and she had the ball float and her points came to be infinity. Y/N used her water quirk, and this time she didn't hold back. She used her quirk and came with points 701 metres.
"........she's better than expected." Bakugou muttered, but ofcourse Y/N heard it while coming back to her place.
"Wow, thank you Bakugou, can you speak louder?" Y/N chuckled, a weird feeling of content filling up her chest.
"You just got lucky."
"Yeah sure Bakugou, 'luck' is how we got into U.A. Just admit that I'm impressive."
"Shut up before I blast you off." Bakugou growled, his hands sparking up.
"Well, that lasted longer than expected." Y/N giggled, while Kyoka commented, "No shit" beside her.
The next person was Midoriya. Y/N was half worried and half excited to see his quirk after she heard all that happened in the entrance exam. He threw the ball at first, but his quirk made no appearance. Aizawa, also known as 'The Eraser Head' erased his quirk and gave him a trash talk of how he didn't belong to U.A. if he used his quirk as recklessly as he did in the entrance exam. But then, on the second attempt, Midoriya had everyone's jaw dropped down.
He scored 705.3 metres.
Y/N looked at Bakugou to see his reaction and as expected, he was shocked and not happy about it.
And it took him five seconds to charge towards Midoriya yelling, "Deku you bastard! Tell me how you did it or you're dead!" But got stopped by Aizawa with his scarf.
"Alright, time to give you your results." Aizawa said as everyone lined up, "I have ranked you all from best to worst. You probably have a good idea if you're standing already. I'll just put up the whole list, it's not worth to go over each individual score."
As expected, considering how Midoriya used his quirk in just one test, he scored last. But as he was beginning to accept his defeat, Aizawa spoke up, "I was lying, no one's going home." He gave a sneaky smile and continued, "That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the test."
Everyone gasped in shock and Momo said, "I'm surprised the rest of you didn't figure that out."
Y/N gave her a hi-five, even though Momo was reluctant about it, and said, "Well, that makes the two of us, even though I was confused for a second."
"I'm sorry I probably should've said something." Momo said, apologizing.
While everyone started talking among themselves about the test and their quirks, Y/N looked at Bakugou standing at the middle of the ground, shaking in anger as his eyes held hatred when he looked over at Midoriya. She walked up to him and said, "You'll be wise enough to concentrate on your own things Bakugou."
"Shut up, I don't need your consolation you adopted wannabe." Bakugou said, but with the same amount of hatred that he had in his eyes.
It never bothered Y/N before when Bakugou called her 'adopted' before, but today it did. She couldn't pin point on what was it - whether it was his tone or how he actually looked like he hated her too, but - it hurt her.
"I-I wasn't trying to console you." She muttered, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion, cheeks reddening in embarrassment.
