As the sun shined brightly upon Union Island, (Y/N) walked through the campus for his first day of classes. When he reached the main building, he kept looking back and forth from his schedule to the room numbers.

He continued through the long halls until he saw the familiar sight of Izumi, who was staring down at her schedule and muttering to herself.

(Y/N): Hey, Izumi!

The girl nervously jumped back and blushed in embarrassment.

Izumi: (Y-Y/N), you shouldn't sneak up on people like that!

(Y/N) chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

(Y/N): Sorry, but it's kinda hard not to when you're a ninja.

Izumi: A-anyway, which class are you heading to?

(Y/N): 1-A. What about you?

Izumi: Same here... Though admittedly, I might be a bit lost.

(Y/N): Hmm... Well, why don't we look for it together?

Izumi's eyes widened, and her face began to heat up.

Izumi: R-really?!

(Y/N): Sure, why not? Two pairs of eyes are better than one.

The pair continued through the hallways until they eventually found the room they were looking for.

Right before they entered the room, (Y/N) took notice of Izumi, who started to mutter to herself again. Until now, she had been relatively quiet and avoided eye contact with him.

(Y/N): Izumi, are you alright?

Izumi suddenly snapped out of her trance and looked at (Y/N), who looked at her, concerned.

Izumi: Huh? Oh yeah... I just hope I'm not in the same class as the scary peopl-

But as she opened the door, the two immediately heard bickering between two students.

Inside a large lecture hall area, Tenya Iida was chastising Katsumi Bakugo, who sat with her feet on the desk and had an uncaring expression.

Iida: Don't put your feet on the desk!
Katsumi took notice of Iida and gave him a cocky smirk.

Katsumi; Huh?

Iida: Don't you think that's rude to the U.A. upperclassmen and the people who made the desk?

Katsumi: Nope. What junior high did you go to, side character? The top two?

Iida: I attended Somei Private Academy. My name is Iida Tenya.

Katsumi: Somei?! So you're a damn elite, huh? Looks like I'll have fun crushing you!

Iida looked at her, shocked at her attitude.

Iida: Crushing?! That's cruel! Do you truly aim to be a hero?!

Suddenly, Iida took notice of both (Y/N) and Izumi.

Iida: You're...

The rest of the class took notice of the two. Izumi looked away nervously while (Y/N) remained unchanged.

He looked around the room to see who else was in the class. The ones he recognized included Team RWBY and Team JNPR, and Twilight. The rest, however, he had yet to meet.

Izumi: Oh, um....

Iida jogged over to the two.

Iida: Good morning! I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is-

(Y/N): We heard. I'm (Y/N) Garmadon.

Upon hearing this, there were whispers amongst some of the students. However, (Y/N) tried his best to ignore it.

Izumi: I'm Midoriya. Nice to meet you, Iida.
Iida: Midoriya, you realized there was something more to that practical exam, didn't you? I had no idea... I misjudged you! I hate to admit it, but you are better than me. Sorry.

They suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind them. Turning around, they noticed Uraraka walking in with stars in her eyes.

Ochaco: Oh, that blonde hair! (Y/N), right? I just knew you would pass!

(Y/N): Hey Uraraka, glad to see you made it as well.

She giggled and then turned towards Izumi.

Ochaco: You're the plain-looking one! You passed, just like Present Mic said! Of course you did! Your punch was amazing!

She enthusiastically began swiping her arm back and forth, imitating a punch.

Ochaco: Break! Break! Break! Break! Bre—

(Y/N): Damn, that's adorable.

Ochaco: I wonder if today's just the entrance ceremony and orientation? I wonder what our teacher's like. Aren't you nervous?

???: Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends.

Behind Uraraka, a gruff voice spoke out. (Y/N) looked to see a tired man with long black hair wrapped inside a yellow sleeping bag.

The sudden appearance of the caterpillar man left the four of them looking at him in shock. Then, he got up, unzipped his sleeping bag, and pulled it off his body.

Shota Aizawa

Aizawa: Okay, it took eight seconds before you were quiet. Time is limited. You kids are not rational enough.

(Y/N): A teacher, huh? I wonder if he's a huntsman or a pro-hero.

Aizawa: I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Nice to meet you.

The man reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out what looked to be a blue uniform with white letters that spelled out U.A. on them.

Aizawa: It's kind of sudden, but put this on and go out onto the field.

————————————

After changing into the Gym uniform, (Y/N) looked at himself in the mirror.

(Y/N): I'm not sure blue suits me...

When he exited the boy's locker room, he noticed Twilight walk up to him.

Twilight: Hey (Y/N)!

(Y/N): Oh hey, Twilight. How are you?

Twilight: I'm good, how about you?

(Y/N): I can't complain. Did you need something?

Twilight: Yes, actually, I wanted to introduce you to my friends.

(Y/N): Uh, okay.

She eagerly grabbed his hand, which caused him to blush, and dragged him toward a group of six girls.

One of the girl's eyes widened, and in an instant, a pink blur rushed towards them.

???: Hi there!

When the girl came to a screeching halt, (Y/N) got a better look at her. She had very poofy pink hair and light cerulean eyes.

Pinkie Pie

Pinkie Pie: I'm Pinkie Pie! Are you new here? You must be! I've never seen you before, so you must be new! Twilight's been talking about you a lot lately!

Twilight looked flustered and glared at Pinkie in annoyance.

Twilight: P-Pinkie!

The rest of the group walked towards them, while (Y/N) was caught off guard due to Pinkie's hyper personality.

(Y/N): Is she always this enthusiastic?
The first to respond was a girl with long red and yellow hair.

Sunset Shimmer

Sunset: More or Less. You get used to it after a while. I'm Sunset Shimmer, by the way. You're (Y/N) right? Twilight's told us a lot about you.

(Y/N) slightly blushed and scratched the back of his head, nervously.

(Y/N): Ehe, good things I hope?

???: If by good, you mean totally awesome, then yeah!

The next to speak was a tomboyish girl with rainbow-colored hair, magenta eyes, and a pair of blue wings on her back.

Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash: The names Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Equestria and soon to be this school!

Suddenly, a girl with blonde hair and green eyes cut in. She wore a brown cowboy hat and spoke with a Western accent.

Applejack

Applejack: Sorry bout her. She's a bit self-absorbed, if you know what I mean.

Rainbow Dash pouted and looked away from the group.

Rainbow Dash: I'm not self-absorbed!
Ignoring her, Applejack decided to continue.

Applejack: Anyway, Howdy there, partner, mah name is Applejack. Thank ya for helpin' Twilight out at the entrance exam.

(Y/N): Ah, it was no problem, really...

???: Nonsense, darling. You proved yourself to be quite the gentleman by rescuing her.

The voice came from a girl with curled purple hair and crystal blue eyes. She spoke with a tone of elegance in her voice.

Rarity

Rarity: My name is Rarity, darling. A pleasure to meet you.

(Y/N): Likewise.

Everyone turned to look at the last girl, who looked quite nervous. She had light pink
hair, aqua-colored eyes, and yellow wings on her back. (Y/N) could immediately tell that she was extremely timid.

Fluttershy

The brief moment of silence was broken by Rainbow Dash, who gently nudged Fluttershy on her side.

Rainbow Dash: Aren't you going to introduce yourself?

The timid girl spoke so quietly that nobody else could hear, but (Y/N) was a different case.

Fluttershy: I'm... Fluttershy...

(Y/N): Fluttershy? That's a cute name.

Fluttershy blushed and looked down, trying to avoid eye contact. The others looked at (Y/N), surprised that he could hear her. Also, for whatever reason, they each felt a tinge of jealousy.

Fluttershy: Y-you could hear me?...

(Y/N): Yep! I have really good hearing.

That was an understatement if (Y/N) was being honest with himself. Due to him being part Dragon, some of his senses were more enhanced when compared to others.

Sunset: Anyway, is it true you can summon a dragon?

(Y/N): Uh, yeah. It's too big to summon inside, but when we're outside, I can show you.

Fluttershy: That sounds scary...

(Y/N): It might be at first, but he's harmless when it comes to friends.

Rainbow Dash: That's awesome, but I bet I could beat it in a race!

(Y/N) smirked in amusement.

(Y/N): Oh yeah? Care to put it to the test?

Rainbow Dash: You're on!

But they were interrupted by Aizawa calling out to them.

Aizawa: Enough chatter. Get down to the field.

(Y/N): Well, it was a pleasure meeting you all. I hope we become good friends.

He brightly smiled back at them, which caused each of them to blush.

Mane 7: So cute...

————————————

After making their way down to the field, Aizawa explained that he would conduct an assessment test for each of their powers,
which confused the entire class.

Ochaco: What about the entrance
ceremony? The orientation?

Aizawa: If you're going to become a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events. U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are.

Aizawa turned his head to the rest of the class.

Aizawa: That's also how the teachers run their classes. You kids have been doing these since junior high, too, right?

He held up his scroll to show the class.

Aizawa: Physical fitness tests where you couldn't use your powers. The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their powers. It's not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating.

Aizawa turned his attention towards Katsumi.

Aizawa: Bakugo, you finished near the top of the entrance exam, right? In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?

Katsumi: 67 meters.

Aizawa: Then, try doing it with your quirk.

Katsumi walked over to a white circle and stood inside it.

Aizawa: You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle. Hurry up. Give it all you've got.

Katsumi stretched her arms and readied her pitch. A large explosion propelled it through the sky as she threw it into the atmosphere.

Katsumi: DIE!!!

Izumi: Die...?

Aizawa: Know your own maximum first.

As the ball landed, Aizawa looked at his scroll and turned to the rest of the class.

Aizawa: That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero.

The rest of the class cried out in surprise as the distance on Aizawa's scroll read 705.2.

Jeanne: 750 meters? Seriously?

Next to speak was a girl with light pink skin and hair, two small horns protruding from her head, eyes with black sclera, and yellow irises.

Mina Ashido

Mina held her hands together in excitement.
Mina: What's this? It looks fun!

Ruby excitedly turned to Weiss, who crossed her arms.

Ruby: We can use our powers as much as we want?!

Weiss rolled her eyes, not bothering to look at Ruby.

The rest of the class looked excited. However, Aizawa wasn't amused at all.

Aizawa: It looks fun, huh? You have three years to become a hero. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time?
Aizawa smiled as a devious idea formed in his mind.

Aizawa: All Right. Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion.

The rest of the class looked at him in surprise, save for (Y/N) and a girl with spiky black hair.

All: HUH?!?!

Izumi looked down at her hand, clutching it nervously. Meanwhile, (Y/N) held his chin while he thought everything over.

(Y/N): So he's putting us under pressure by lying so we do our best. Well played, Aizawa...

Aizawa: We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students.
He held his hair up from his face and smiled at them evilly.

Aizawa: Welcome to U.A.'s hero course!

Ochaco: Last place will be expelled? But it's the first day of school! No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair!

(Y/N): Unfairness is just how the world works...

Aizawa: (Y/N) is correct. Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains. Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. The world is covered with unfairness. Heroes are the ones who reverse those situations. If you wanted to talk with your friends at McDonald's after school, too bad. For the next three years, U.A. will do all it can to give you one hardship after another. Go beyond. Plus Ultra.

Aizawa gestured to them with his index finger.

Aizawa: Overcome it all you've got.

The first test was a 50-meter dash between students. When it was (Y/N) 's turn, he was paired up against a petite girl with short white hair and yellow eyes, wearing a black cat pin in her hair.

Koneko Toujou

(Y/N) turned his head towards the expressionless girl.

(Y/N): Good luck.

Koneko: You too.

Koneko nodded at him and looked toward the area before them.

Measuring Device: Runners, on your mark. Ready... get set...

The measuring device fired off a round to start the race, and Koneko began sprinting while (Y/N) quickly spun into a green tornado and raced her to the finish line.

Ultimately, using Spinjitzu proved too fast for Koneko to keep up with, and he easily beat her to the finish line.

(Y/N) ended with a time of 3.56 seconds, while Koneko was left with 5.04 seconds.

Although he did pretty well, he couldn't compare to the people whose powers specialized in speed, such as Rainbow Dash, Ruby, and Iida, who were the top three of this test.

Next was the grip test, where they had to squeeze a device to measure the pressure.
While (Y/N) was somewhat stronger than the average human (partially due to the element of Earth). He did better than most, but others significantly outperformed him.

The third test was the standing long jump, which was extremely easy for (Y/N) as he merely floated through to the other side with Airjitzu.

The fourth test was repeated side steps, and (Y/N) did moderately well on this one due to his agility, but so far, this was his worst test.

————————————

The fifth test was the softball throw that Katsumi had already done earlier.

When it was (Y/N) 's turn, he stood in the white circle with the ball in his hand. He took a deep breath and spun into a tornado, building momentum with each rotation while channeling his elemental power into the ball.

Suddenly, the softball shot right out of the green tornado at a blinding speed, leaving behind a small shockwave and a trail of green lightning.

Aizawa's scroll beeped, showing that (Y/N) had a distance of 1,045 meters, which surprised the class and annoyed Katsumi.

When he returned to the rest of the class, he stood beside Blake, who looked at him, utterly shocked.

Blake: How do you not get sick from spinning that fast?

(Y/N): Overtime, you get used to it.

Next up was Uraraka, who threw it into the air. After that, the ball continued going farther and farther up with no signs of stopping.

Everyone was shocked when Aizawa showed her distance to be infinity.

All: Infinity?!

Jeanne: That's insane. How is that even possible?

Last up was Izumi, who stepped up to the circle and nervously looked at the ball.

Iida: It doesn't look good for Midoriya if she continues like this.

Katsumi: Huh? Of course not. She's a powerless small fry, you know.

Iida: Powerless? Are you not aware of what she did in the entrance exam?

Katsumi: Huh?!

Izumi charged her quirk into her arm, but Aizawa's eyes turned red just as she threw the ball, causing it to land a few meters away.

Measuring Device: 47 meters.

Izumi looked absolutely shocked at the outcome.

Izumi: I was definitely trying to use it just now...

Aizawa: I erased your quirk.

Everyone looked to see that Aizawa's hair and scarf floated around him while his eyes glowed red.

Aizawa: That entrance exam was definitely not rational enough. Even a kid like you was accepted.

Izumi: You erased my quirk?

She suddenly jumped back in surprise, noticing a pair of yellow goggles around his neck.

Izumi: Those goggles... I see! You can erase other people's powers with your quirk just by looking at them. The Erasure Hero: Eraserhead!

From what (Y/N) could hear from the others, Aizawa was an underground hero who doesn't seek fame or fortune in this line of work.

Aizawa: From what I can tell, you can't control your quirk, can you? Do you intend to become incapacitated again and have someone save you?

Izumi: Th-that's not my intention-

Aizawa's scarf suddenly wrapped around Izumi and pulled her closer to him.

Aizawa: Whatever your intention. I'm saying that's what those around you will be forced to do. In the past, there was an oppressively passionate hero who saved over a thousand people by himself and created a legend. Even if you have the same reckless valor, you'll just be decked and turned into a useless doll after saving one person. Izumi Midoriya. With your power, you can't become a hero.

After setting Izumi down, Aizawa returned to normal.

Aizawa: I've returned your quirk. Take your final throw. Hurry up and get it over with.

Iida: It looks like he received some advice.

The rest of the class hadn't heard what Aizawa had said to Izumi, except (Y/N), due to his enhanced hearing.

(Y/N): It's cold, but he's right. Being a liability in this line of work will hold you and the others around you back.

His eyes surveyed each of the students and continued his train of thought.

(Y/N): So far, everyone has done well in at least one of the tests except Izumi and Jeanne. But given how everybody has powers suited for different situations, there might be better options than a physical assessment for gauging our powers. I'll have to trust that they'll come through in the end.

Izumi began her throw, and it went far off through the air when the ball was released. When it landed, the distance read 305.3.

She turned to face Aizawa, smiling triumphantly and clutching her broken finger.

Izumi: Mr. Aizawa... I can still move!

Aizawa had a pleasantly surprised smile plastered on his face.

Aizawa: This kid...

Uraraka raised her arms and cheered out.

Ochaco: Nice, she's finally showing us her true power!

Meanwhile, (Y/N) put his hand on his hip and smiled.

(Y/N): Way to go, Izumi!

Iida: Her finger is swollen. There was the entrance exam too. She has a strange quirk...

Katsumi stared in disbelief, and small explosions set off in her palms. Then, she suddenly charged toward Izumi.

Katsumi: Hey! Tell me what's going on, Deku, you bastard!!!

Izumi recoiled back, but just as Katsumi was about to reach her, Aizawa's scarf stopped her.

Katsumi: What the—? Why the hell is your scarf so damn strong?!

Aizawa: They're weapons for capture made of carbon fiber woven together with metal wire made of a special alloy.

(Y/N) chuckled when he noticed Ruby looking at Aizawa's scarf with stars in her eyes.

Ruby: Oh my gosh, that's so cool!

Aizawa: Jeez... Don't make me use my quirk over and over again. It gives me severe dry eye!

Aizawa let go of Katsumi and turned away.

Aizawa: We're wasting time. Whoever's next, get ready.

Izumi slowly backed away from Katsumi and returned to the rest of the class.

Ochaco: Is your finger alright?

Izumi: Oh, yeah.

(Y/N): Great job, Izumi! I'm proud of you!

Izumi blushed and smiled at him.

Izumi: Thanks (Y/N)!

Suddenly, Jeanne approached them and smiled.

Jeanne: Here, let me help you with that.

She grabbed Izumi's finger and focused her aura until it completely healed.

Izumi: Wow, thanks! It feels better already.

After a few more tests, Izumi fell to the ground, utterly exhausted. (Y/N) walked up to her and offered her his hand. She grabbed it, and he helped pull her back up.
They walked towards the others, who gathered around Aizawa.

Aizawa: Okay, I'll quickly tell you the results. The total is simply the marks you got from each test. It's a waste of time to explain verbally, so I'll show you the results all at once.

He clicked a button on his scroll, and a blue hologram appeared with each of their names ranked.

1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. (Y/N) Garmadon
3. Shoka Todoroki
4. Pyrrha Nikos
5. Katsumi Bakugo
6. Tenya Iida
7. Rainbow Dash
8. Applejack
9. Koneko Toujou
10. Weiss Schnee
11. Ruby Rose
12. Ravel Phenex
13. Fumikage Tokoyami
14. Twilight Sparkle
15. Sunset Shimmer
16. Yang Xiao Long
17. Nora Valkyrie
18. Ejirou Kirishima
19. Mina Ashido
20. Ochaco Uraraka
21. Blake Belladonna
22. Tsuyu Asui
23. Lia Ren
24. Gasper Vladi
25. Pinkie Pie

29. Denki Kaminari
30. Kyouka Jirou
31. Fluttershy
32. Toru Hagakure
33. Izumi Midoriya
34. Jeanne Arc

(Y/N) watched as Izumi sighed in relief while Jeanne looked down, disheartened as Pyrrha tried to comfort her.

Aizawa gave them all a cheeky smile as he replied.

Aizawa: By the way, I was lying about the expulsion. It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your powers.

(Y/N): I knew it.

The rest of the class did not catch on as they screamed out in shock.

However, like before, (Y/N) noticed that a girl with black hair tied back into a spiky ponytail didn't look surprised.

Momo Yaoyorozu

Momo: Of course, that was a lie. It should've been obvious if you thought it through.

But then, Momo suddenly noticed that (Y/N) didn't look even slightly surprised.

Momo: Though, judging by your lack of surprise, I'm guessing you also figured it out?

(Y/N): I had my suspicions...

Momo: Good to know I'm not the only rational thinker in the class.

The rest of the class gave Momo a cold glare, but she ignored them.

Ruby: Wow, that was pretty nerve-wracking, huh?

Yang: Eh, I'm always up for a good challenge!

Aizawa: With that, we're done here. There are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom, so when you get back, look them over.

(Y/N): This place really is full of interesting and unique people. I wonder how the others are holding up?

————————————

(A/N): Here's another chapter for y'all.

You'll probably notice that I took out some of the characters of the less important 1A characters such as Ojiro, Sato, Koda, Shoji, and Mineta. Mostly did that because I don't really need them in this story so I'm sorry if you like them. I might put them in, but they would probably be Added into 1B if anything.

This chapter was initially going to also cover the first few days of RWBY canon as well, but for pacing I felt it would be better to split it between two chapters instead.

Anyways as always, thanks for reading. Peace out!
