Chapter 9: "An Explosive Youth"

The UA High's Entrance Exam has began.

The exam's rules were simple, take the points by defeating bots base on their own difficulty within the designated time limit.

Block A

After the gate opened, Bakugo Katsuki immediately rushed inside the block by propelling himself by releasing explosion in his palms. Because of his speed he immediately met couple of bots standing to each other and doing nothing in particular. As if the bots detected Katsuki the bot then immediately move towards the propelling youth.

But since the youth is basically flying around the air, traversing midair by using the explosions' impacts, the bots couldn't kept up with the blondes movement and was destroyed in an instant afterwards.

Katsuki kept doing it as he kept dancing in the air nonstop and destroying any bots he met.

"Man that guy sure is amazing!" A spiky redheaded examinee commented as he looks up watching what the blonde crimson eyed explodiboi is doing.

Well despite the curses he hear from the blonde everytime he pops out an explosion in his palm, the redhead couldn't say anything but only watch the teen does his job with awe.

"Ah crap! I needed to gather points too!" the redhead realizes and went off searching for bots.

"FUCK!" Katsuki once again destroyed a bot with his explosion quirk and at the same time used it as a way to traverse midair to the nearest bot and also destroying it as he made another explosion, uttering a curse word at the same time as he flew off.

Monitoring Room

"My oh my, that teen sure is good!" A mature female voice commented, this voice came from Kayama Nemuri also known as the R18 Hero Midnight.

Because of the Bakugo Katsuki's spectacular performance with his quirk use and mastery on it, all teachers in the room couldn't help but glance on the Block A's Monitor mainly watching on how the blonde uses his quirk and the minimal use of it as he isn't wasting any firepower at all.

"Katsuki Bakugo examinee no. 2233 quirk 'Explosion' an ability that allows him to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms and detonate it at will to create explosions. The more he sweats, the stronger his explosion becomes" Eraserhead stated as he read Katsuki's profile from the examinees' folders.

Hearing it one of the teachers in the room whistled.

"Talk about a powerful quirk"

"On the other hand based on what I see on the screen he seems to have problems regarding on his behavior" Eraserhead deadpanned as if on cue the crimson eyed blonde once again uttered another curse word as he destroyed another three pointer bot. Hearing the blonde's curse word some of the heroes chuckled upon the blonde's rather explosive behavior.

"We'll get into that" Midnight commented.

As some of the teachers focus on the blonde's explosive performance and behavior, that cannot be the same as the no.1 hero All Might as he repeatedly glances on his disciple's monitor, worried on Izuku's current situation.

Midoriya Izuku wasn't really in a dire situation nor in need of points as he currently made twenty-seven points in three and forty eight second which of course All Might looked upon on the scoreboard and the current time.

Despite having a good performance All Might could see the stiffness on his disciple's movements, it was as if something was making his disciple hesitate on every time he moves. He had seen what his disciple does on his training and that's why he's currently worried on his disciple's wellbeing.

All Might knew it that something was wrong to the youth… afterall he was the one who spend his past months with the youth and he knew full well what kind of performance his disciple could do.

'What's keeping you, Young Midoriya?'

Block B

Minutes ago before the exam began Midoriya Izuku was already on his best gear as usual. He was ready to take the exams and was already planning to take off and dash if it weren't to closed gate that he and the other examinees are currently facing and waiting for it to happen.

It was then a voice from his memories appeared and talked to his ear as if they were standing beside him. The words he remembered echoed to his very mind shaking all the pent up concentration, focus, resolution he slowly built up in ten months.

'Your going to go in hero course right'

'Why?'

Those very words echoed inside of him disrupting every move he takes. And because of it there were some tendency that some examinees were able to steal his targeted bots mainly a blonde kid with a laser coming out from his stomach and the bespectacled examinee that took the attention back in the orientation that has been able to bypass him and defeating the bots he was about to take.

It didn't take time for Izuku himself to be flooded by the self-doubt as he continuously listened on it. All of it the feelings he gathered in his training gone just because he didn't knew why he wanted to become a hero.

Deep in thought Izuku didn't realized that some group of two to three pointer bots creep out behind him. He latterly realized it when the bots exploded by getting smashed with a cement pole.

"…"

Realizing his negligence, he then looked to the direction of the one who save him.

It was that girl he met before the exams.

.

To Uraraka Ochaco, she was once filled with pressure earlier before she took the exams and if it weren't to a certain boy she met earlier, she might not be able to put such a performance in the exams. She didn't really noticed it that much on how well she's doing on the exams all she did was use her quirk to grab some heavy structures throwing it above the targeted bot's head and returning it to it's usual weight or gravity.

Her Quirk gives her the power to manipulate gravity upon touching solid things with the pads on her fingertips. The targets lose their gravitational pull, effectively making them object weightless. She is able to activate or cancel her Quirk's effects by closing her fingers together. Her Quirk main's drawback are that if the upper weight limit (around three tons) is exceeded, or if the user floats herself, she will suffer from severe nausea.

After defeating a two pointer she then saw some group of bots walking away from her and towards someone she knew, it was the boy who helped her earlier.

Looking at the boy, the boy seems not to respond on the approaching threat and has been doing nothing just standing on his place, his head looking down on the ground. She then searched for some heavy structure seeing a taken down cement pole that appears to be destroyed because of the earlier battle. She then used her quirk to lighten it up and threw it towards the bot releasing her quirk just where the cement pole is on atop of the group of bots' head.

Seeing her immediate action as a success, she then rushes towards the boy to check if he was okay.

.

Izuku came out to his senses when he saw the bots which was about to attack him destroyed. Knowing what just happened he then looked towards the direction of the one who saved him.

Seeing the person who just saved him right now Izuku was quite surprise to meet the girl he just met at the entrance. He really didn't expect it for him to meet her again at such circumstances.

Ochaco being a nice girl immediately asked for the boy's wellbeing.

"A-are you okay?"

"…I'm fine, thanks to you" Izuku answered and bowed as he gave a sincere thank you to the girl who saved him, afterall his parents did taught him good about manners and stuffs.

Seeing the boy's overly well-mannered gratitude made the Ochaco panic as she waved her hands around, seeing it Izuku then stood out as he looks at the girl.

"Y-y-you don't really have to thank me that much" the girl reacted.

"Ummmm… okay"

"Thank you" the boy once again thanked with a soft smile.

The girl stared at him for seconds before saying "your welcome!" accompanied with a cheery smile.

"I-i should go now" Ochaco realized knowing that she had spent a lot of time with the boy, seeing the boy made a light nod she then took off with a rush.

"Ah, I forgot to ask his name" Ochaco taught, she then looks back towards the boy's location but saw nothing.

It was all thanks to the girl that Izuku was somewhat able to regain his composure. Right now all unnecessary thoughts were blocked as he could only think of was to pass the exam with everything he got.

There are three minutes and nineteen seconds remaining and Midoriya Izuku's current score is thirty-seven villain points
