Entrance exam

[February 26]

[Year 2××××]

[UA: Mustafu]

"WELCOME YOUNG HEROES TO THE OPENING OF UA'S ENTRANCE EXAM! ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP FOR THE FUTURE! NOW EVERYBODY SAY HEYYYYY!!" Present mic shouted enthusiastically to present the rules for the the entrance exam for UA. But the response he received was total opposite of his, total silence except for....

*Crunch crunch*

*rapid muttering of a green head boy*

But despite the lack of response, it did nothing to Present Mic's of enthusiasm, rather he continued with his speech. "WOW WHAT A RESPONSE EVERYONE, I'M GETTING SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE FROM HERE! ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE... NOW I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THE LOW-DOWN ON HOW THIS'LL GO DOWN! ARE YOU ALL READY!?"

Again all he received was silence and....

*Crunch crunch*

*rapid muttering of the boy*

Well leaving aside the rapid muttering of the boy who's also the future protagonist of the world, the other one making noise was a lean kid with silver hair and red eyes, who was busy eating chips in place of listening to Present mic's announcements.

'Ouch! Present mic's voice is really more annoying than I thought it would be. Should I just use Archive on him..... it should be okay since I still have all the four chances to use for today. Well no use in thinking too much.' Ryoto, the silver haired boy thought with a grimace on his face.

As he activated his quirk 'archive' on Present mic, his red eyes shone purple for a moment and three prompts appeared in his mind.

< Sonic bullet: Highly compressed sound in a bullet shape, which can be shot through one's palm.>

< Vacuum barrier: A barrier of vacuum around the user, so that the sound can't reach the user due to the lack of a medium. But It's only usable for a short period of time, since the air inside the barrier will also deplete in due time.>

< Underground Travel: Can travel underground the earth.>

After thinking for a moment, Ryoto chose the < Sonic bullet > amongst the prompts, making the prompt glow purple and traveling to the core area of his quirk and settle there with the other 10 prompts he had gathered so far.

As a matter of fact Ryoto's quirk is both quite overpowered at the same time average depending on the situation. His quirk 'Archive' when activated, lets him choose a target who is using their quirk on him or using it in a radius of 600m around Ryoto.

Then after choosing the target, his quirk offers three prompts in his mind. One prompt similar to the targeted quirk like he got < Sonic bullet > by targeting Present mic's 'voice' quirk, then one prompt aimed to oppose the targeted quirk and the last prompt is either based on the targeted quirk user's weakness or a completely random choice.

After Ryoto chooses one of the prompt, it settles in his quirk and he will be able to use the prompt for 24 hours but it become unusable after that. To make the prompt permanent Ryoto needs to use the quirk for a total of 7 days meaning 168 hours. He can also use the other two prompts for 24 hours but he can't make them permanent, so if he wanted to use them he needs to use Archive again.

In simple term now that Ryoto has chosen < Sonic bullet > he can make it permanent after using it for 168 hours, for which he have to use Archive consequently on Present mic after his 24 hour runs out. But he can only use < Vacuum Barrier > and < Underground Travel > for 24 hour every time he uses Archive on Present mic and it won't be permanent.

If it was just that Ryoto's quirk would have been ridiculously op but there's some limitation of 'Archive' quirk, which is he can only use one prompt at a time and he have to fix 7 permanent prompts to be used any time, leaving aside the prompts he gets from the four chances every day. While he can change the prompts of his permanent 7 prompts after a cooldown time of a week, it still limit his option.

It's like a game character who have many skills but the amount of skill slot is limited to 7 and can only use one skill at a time. Another major downside of his quirk is that it consumes a lot of energy while using it, that's why Ryoto eats all the time. So his quirk is both overpowered and average at the same time.

While Ryoto was busy monologuing in his mind, he returned to reality after receiving a sharp jab at his torso from his childhood friend Jiro. Kyoka Jiro, Ryoko and Tatsuo has been friends since they were 6. So she was quite used to Ryoko's antics.

"Oi Ryo! would it kill you to pay some attention to the announcements. Present mic is explaining the rules you know. I'm warning you now, I'm not gonna help you when you come running to me later when the exam starts." Jiro spoke exasperated.

"Eh! don't be like that Kyoko! And it's not possible to ignore the announcement taking Present mic's volume into account. My ears are really ringing like crazy. Help me a little with your quirk please Kyoko."

"My quirk is not free. What will I get in return?" Jiro spoke with a glint in her eyes.

"One Choco Monaka jumbo" Ryoko offered.

"Before that I want a serving of fried chicken" Jiro counter-proposed.

"Okay deal but don't tell aunty that I let you eat chicken."

"Well even if I say it, mom will chew me out first then come after you." saying that Jiro used her quirk along with a special amplifier to send small sound waves around them to lessen the sound of Present mic's announcements. [A/N: Same as her move 'counter balance' but on a small scale] While they were chatting Present mic was continuing his announcement without any regards to the examinees reactions.

"... BE TESTING YOUR METTLE BY RUNNING A TEN MINUTE PRACTICE RUN AT OUR REPLICA CITY DISTRICT. EVERYBODY SHOULD GATHER AT THEIR DESIGNATED MEETING AREA AFTER THE PRESENTATION, GET THAT?"

"EACH SITE IS FILLED WITH THREE KINDS OF VILLAIN BOTS AND POINTS ARE AWARDED BASED ON THEIR DIFFICULTY LEVEL! SO USE YOUR QUIRKS TO BEATS THESE VILLAINS AND EARN POINTS. THAT'S YOUR GOAL, EXAMINEES!" Present mic said as he switched between presentation slides, "AND ATTACKING THE OTHER EXAMINEES IS PROHIBITED, OKAY!"

"Excuse me, may I ask a question" While Present mic was continuing his speech a bespectacled boy interrupted Present mic. In response to Iida the blue haired boy with glasses who raised his hands to interrupt the announcement, Present mic lifted his shades and nodded towards Iida to ask his question.

"On the handout, there are clearly four types of villains listed but you only mentioned three! such an error would be the height of embarrassment for a top-tier academy of UA's caliber! The reason we are seated here today is because we seek guidance on the path to becoming model heroes! but if the school make such mistake at the entrance exam, there will many question regarding its teaching capability" Iida spoke loudly while showing the handbook then he took a turn and looked directly at Izuku and Ryoko.

"Moreover, what's with you two? Yeah, you, curly haired boy and you, with silver hair" Iida spoke pointing at both Izuku and Ryoko, " You both are making noises this whole time..... it's distracting. If you think UA is some playground, then you should leave this place at once"

"Sorry..." Izuku spoke flustered and tried to hide as much as possible from other's gazes.

"Well first of all I need to eat for my quirk and I don't see any rules which says I can't. Also if you get distracted just from this, you should give some more thoughts regarding your profession. What will you do in future if there are distractions during battle, scold them" Ryoko spoke in bored voice and still eating without paying any attention to other's gazes. Iida got flustered hearing Ryoto's logic, while there were snickers among the others.

"Heh, as if he will buy your excuse" Jiro quipped from the side.

"Oh, if it's for your quirk. I apologize for being rude then." Iida quickly apologized.

"Eh! he really bought it?" Jiro muttered surprised, to which Ryoko showed a smug expression. Then seeing Iida still standing Present mic began to answer his question.

"OKAY, OOOKAY THANKS FOR THE SEGUE, MUCH APPRECIATED EXAMINEE 7111! FOR YOUR QUESTIOON, THE FOURTH TYPE OF VILLAIN YOU'LL ENCOUNTER IS WORTH ZERO POINTS! LET'S CALL THEM 'ARENA TRAPS'! LIKE THE ONES FROM 'SUPER MARIO BROTHERS' GAME. YOU CAN JUST AVOID THEM."

Satisfied with the answer Iida sat back on his seat, "thank you sir, I apologize for the interruption!'

"NOW, THAT'S ENOUGH FROM ME! AS THE GREAT HERO NAPOLEON ONCE SAID 'A TRUE HERO NEVER STOPS OVERCOMING THE MISFORTUNES IN LIFE', SO EVERYONE LET'S MOVE TO THE MAIN EVENT AND GIVE YOUR 'PLUS ULTRA!!'. MAY YOU ALL SUFFER GREATLY IN THE TRIALS TO COME"
