Walking through the dark corridor behind the hero course students of class 1-B, Yumi and Shinso could hear the loud voice of the Pro Hero/faculty member, Present Mic, announcing the other class' entrance.

"They haven't been getting as much airtime, but this class is also full of talent! Hero course, Class 1-B!" He enthused.

Approaching the light at the end of the tunnel, Yumi's eyes squinted out of reflex under the harsh rays of sun.

"Next up, general studies Classes C, D, and E!"

She briefly looked behind her as she continued to advance forwards, seeing the dejected looks on her classmates' face at their own hurried introduction. Her eyes then quickly darted to her surroundings once her green eyes adjusted to the bright light.

'As expected, there are a lot of people watching..' Yumi looked around the stadium that was filled with people and heroes from all around the country. With the passion of their last chance and the tactics from their experience, the third years should have been the main event just like the past years. But this year, due to the famous USJ attack, the first-year stage was the one to watch.

This was a chance Yumi couldn't afford to miss if she hoped for a transfer.

"Support course, Classes F, G, and H are here, too! And business course, Classes I, J, and K! All of U.A's first years are here now!"

"We're just here to make those guys look better, huh?" Their deputy class rep commented with a bitterness Akano couldn't miss. Yumi and Hitoshi only spared him a sideways glance before they halted once they reached the Chief Umpire's stage.

All classes stood side by side, with class 1-A right beside them.

The red haired telepath hadn't realized how many first years there were in this school until now.

'There are so many.. There's no way all of us are making it past the first round.' She pondered, and once she was done looking around her, she locked her gaze on her dominant hand.

'I decided to try and better myself.. To follow a path of self redemption by trying to help others. And somehow, myself along the way..'

Yumi's silent pondering was drowning out the cheers and lustful admiration the male crowds held for the R-rated heroine, Midnight.

'But even still, I can't go using my telekinesis recklessly. It's still not that easy for me..'

"Quiet, everyone!" Midnight demanded, swinging her whip. And everyone obediently complained silenced and paid their undivided attention to her -save for the distracted Yumi.

"Representing the students is Bakugo Katsuki from Class 1-A!"

"What? It's Kacchan?!" Midoriya gasped in surprised as he saw Bakugo casually strolling up the stairs to the stage.

Sero Hanta, who was as equally surprised as the rest of his classmates, gave a nod of confirmation. "That guy did finish first in the entrance exam."

The two 1-A students had proven to be loud enough for the neighboring class to overhear their conversation. And so Aoba released an audibly aggravated sigh, turning to glare at both Midoriya and Sero. "In the hero course." She corrected.

"R-Right." Sero timidly stuttered, feeling the hostility the blonde girl projected towards him and his class.

Meanwhile, Yumi was unaware of the conversation that took place by her side, still drowning in her own inner conflicts.

Aoba's lips pulled into a smirk that quickly turned into a proud smile as she placed both of her hands on Yumi's shoulder. The action had succeeded in surprising the redhead, snapping her back to reality. "All in all, our Akano-san placed first in the written entrance exam, ne?" She chirped, purposely raising her voice to tease the neighboring classes. Her nose almost grew in length in pride, acting as if it was her own achievement.
