"Wow, this stadium sure is big and flashy, huh?" You said, staring at Takoba National Stadium, the place where your hero license exam would take place.

"I'm getting nervousss!"

"I didn't know it was at Takoba."

"What do you think we're gonna have to do for the exam? I wonder if I can get a license..."

"Mineta. It's not an 'I wonder...' go and get one." Aizawa said, bowing his head.

"Oh! Def-Definitely!"

"If you guys are able to pass this exam and get your provisional licenses, then you are no longer eggs...you will become chicklings. Incubated to become semi-professionals." Aizawa said, turning to the class. He narrowed his eyes, trying his best to give you all an encouraging look. "Do your best."

"All right! Let's do it! We'll become chicklings!! Okay, everyone, gather round! Ready? Plus..."

"ULTRA!!" A tall, muscular boy with a military cap shouted from behind Kirishima, pumping his fist in the air. You flinched, surprised.

"It's not good to randomly insert yourself into other people's huddles, Inasa." A shorter boy with purple hair said, also donning the same uniform as the tall boy.

"Ahhh, damn it!! Please accept...my...HUMBLEST APOLOGIES!!" The boy, Inasa, shouted as he bowed. You stared down at him as he basically groveled at your feet, blinking.

"Hey, dude, it's fine, don't even worry about it." You laughed, shaking your head. The boy looked up at you, face flushing as he teared up.

"THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACIOUSNESS!!" He shouted, bowing once more.

"WHO IS THIS RIDICULOUSLY PUMPED UP GUY?!"

"It's like someone added Iida and Kirishima together and squared the result..."

"Wait a minute! Those uniforms...!"

Bakugo scoffed at the boy who's head was at your feet, glaring. "UA to the east, Shiketsu to the west. The elite school that matches up with us...Shiketsu High."

"I jus' wanted to try an' say it once!! Plus Ultra!! I, myself, mus' say that I love UA!! It's the utmost honor to be able to compete with you all at UA!! I wish you the best!!" Inasa shouted, shooting up from the ground with blood dripping from his forehead.

You sighed as Aizawa went on a monologue about Yoarashi Inasa, slipping into your usual thoughts.

'Hi, brain, haven't used you in a while. So anyways, have you heard about those murder hornets in America? They sound pretty scary...I wonder if they actually murder people?'

"My name is Shindo! It must have been rough with all the trouble at UA this year, huh?"

You snapped out of your thoughts to see a boy with messy black hair holding your hands, staring at you with shining eyes. "Huh?"

The boy grinned at you, continuously shaking your hands. "I've heard a lot about you, of course, Y/N L/N! The wonder girl at UA! You're much prettier in person, I have to say!"

  You blushed slightly as Bakugo growled, glaring menacingly at the black-haired boy. Shindo grinned and let go of your hands, pumping a fist into the air. "I believe that all heroes need to have that fortitude of spirit!"

  You laughed, shaking your head. "Man, you sure are somethin', huh?"

  "What a refreshingly straightforward cool dude..." Kaminari chuckled, sweatdropping.

  "And among them, the other person at the center of the Kamino incident, Bakugo...you have an exceptionally strong spirit." Shindo said, turning to face Bakugo and extending his hand out. He smiled, but you noticed it seemed faker this time. "It's our privilege to stand alongside you all today. We will do our very best."

  Bakugo glared at him, feeling pissed still because Shindo had touched you. He smacked his hand away, scoffing. "Screw off, you asshole. The words coming out of your mouth don't match the look in your eyes."

  "K-Katsuki, hey! Wait up!" You exclaimed, rushing up to him as he started to walk away. He clicked his tongue, not bothering to look at you.

  "Why don't you go hang out with that Shindo kid? After all, 'he sure is something'."

  "Hey, rude!" You pouted, puffing our your cheeks. You tugged on his sleeve, trying to get his attention. "Katsuki...why are you so angry? Well, angrier than usual."

  "Hah? No one's angry! Why don't you just fuck off, Gas Bitch?" Bakugo snapped, glaring down at you. You frowned, sighing and stopping in your tracks. You turned around, waving.

  "Well, good luck then. Hope you pass."

  Bakugo's heart cringed at this, and he glanced back at you with a wistful look in his eyes.

  "Dammit...why are you stirring my emotions up like this, stupid Y/N?"
