Your Hero

Hard Work Pays Off!

The first month of training felt like Hell.

Her mother was a ruthless teacher, not giving her a chance to take a break or slow her pace. She would have her work on weights until her arm were trembling and felt so numb she dropped to the floor.

And when it came to her legs, she could hardly stand the next day due to it trembling so horribly.

Second month in was just as bad.

Only this time, instead of doing weights, they began to train on her quirk. Her mother had given her an old spellbook she had inherited from her own so she could learn spells that not only enhance her strength and speed, but control elements and strengthen her mentality.

Third month in and Leci was getting the hang of it.

She became much quicker, and with each spell she learned it became a natural instinct to use them in certain situations.

From four to six months in she began to see and feel a major difference in her body.

Leci was never really a petite girl, but she wasn't exactly on the plus size end; a mix, you can say. But she had lost tons of weight and gained muscles from the harsh training.

And the last four months were nothing but sparring.

She went over everything her mother had taught her; from hand-to-hand combat to defensive and offensive spells. And for once since the day she began to train to get into U.A., she finally had won her first sparring match!

With the physical and mental Hell she had endured(not to mention school and she's somehow got high grades), Leci felt ready to take on the entrance exam and get into the school for Pro Heroes!

The day has finally come; the U.A. Entrance Exam was here and the moment the girl woke up, she could feel butterflies in her stomach. Leci got up and puts on a dark blue tracksuit with a white tank top underneath her partially zipped jacket. Putting her hair up in a ponytail, she made her way downstairs and stopped to greet her mother, who had finished making breakfast and greeted her back with a big smile. "You ready for today?" She beamed. "Kind of... I'm really nervous..."

"Don't be! You've been training for ten months and have perfected every move! I'm sure you will be able to pass that exam with flying colors!"

Leci laughed, walking towards her with a nod before giving her a tight hug. "I'm gonna be heading out now! Wish me luck!" With a kiss on her cheek, the two bid each other farewell and she was off.

I can do this! I can do this!... She thought.

... I hope...

The butterflies in her stomach fluttered much harder as soon as she saw the entrance of the building. Her palms began sweating and her legs felt like jelly. She never expected to feel like this yet here she was afraid to move a step closer before lord knows that if she did, then her legs would give out. Leci began to take deep breaths, trying to calm her heart and the butterflies in her stomach. It's just a test, Leci... She though. I can do this!

As soon as she took a step forward, she tripped.

No I can't.

She fell to the ground with a squeak, scraping her hands ever so slightly. The other teens who witnessed it either kept walking or were laughing at her, which made the blonde's face turn red out of sheer embarrassment. She began to make a move to stand, and was about to until she saw a hand in front of her.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah! I'm just a bit clumsy, that's all!"

Leci grabs the person's hand, and felt herself get pulled up. Once she was standing, the girl went to thank the person who helped her up, but stopped when she was faced to faced with a girl.

A girl who had jet black hair and a matching set of black horns and a green dragons' tail.

(Author's Note: I wonder who this girl could be, MatarnixArts 🤭)
