Chapter 4

HAHAAHAHAHA ISN'T IT FUNNY THAT THE SECOND THAT I BOAST ABOUT A RECORD I IMMEDIATELY GET WRITERS BLOCK  AND GO INTO A DEPRESSIVE STATE IN WHICH I CAN'T PHYSICALLY DO ANYTHING THAT NEEDS ANY TYPE OF CONCENTRATION HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA END ME I AM SO SORRY IFEELSOBADIMMAKINGALLOFYOUWAITANDYOUMUSTBESOANNOYEDIAMSOSORRYHONESTLYILOVEYOUALLANDIPROMISETMAKEALLOFANEFFORTASILOVEWRITINGTHISANDSEEINGYOURRESPONSES EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Today was the day. It decided the rest of my life, the next few hours, everything comes down to this, now, this second. All of my childhood dreams and imaginary scenarios, the games on the playground and scribbled drawings made in a rush during school. 

The idea of failure loomed over my head and shook my core, fair to say I was shitting myself.  I was jumping around my apartment with a granola bar in hand, fully dressed and ready to go, I was still waiting for the text from Enji to say that he was outside so that I could leave. For what felt like the 7th time I stretched out my arms and legs, and (finally) my phone pinged, without looking at it I grabbed, locked the door and practically jumped down the stairs.

Enji stood as tall and proud as ever, and to anyone else he would look completely fine and un-phased, I could obviously see through this however. Enji was as nervous as me, and whilst he would rather die than admit it and would burn a hole through anyone who attempted to tease him about it, he was. The walk to UA was silent, the cars going by, our breaths and steps were in a melancholy way counselling to me as we walked along the uneven pavement. 

The sky above us was grey, fog looked to be forming above the houses. By the time we got to UA I couldn't decide if I was calmer or even more anxious then this morning. 

A hand on my shoulder pulled me out of my thoughts,

"It's all going to be fine, you're one of the strongest people I know, there's no need for you to be worried." I raised my eyebrow.

"I never said that I was worried, neither of us really said anything really did we?" I smirked as he scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"It's written all over your face."

"Ok beyonce I'll take your word for it." 

I pushed forward towards the gate before letting him reply, my smirk growing as I heard him grumble something to himself before catching up with me. 

We were sent into a large examination hall and we were all placed in certain seats based on our schools. I was relieved to find that I was sat between Enji and Toshinori (who I had quickly whispered a few words to him wishing him luck) before turning my attention back to the woman at the front who identified herself as a pro hero, she explained what the physical exam was going to be without giving too much away, the basis of it was;

A natural disaster scenario, followed by humanoid robots that the trainees have to fight, along with saving and locating 'people' that were hurt and/or are missing due to the disaster, these people are actually just fun coloured rocks buried in the rubble, each rock is colour coded to signify how many points they are. The robots are very protective of the rocks (this maybe points toward a hostage situation) and depending on how easy getting the rocks are is based on the colour;

Yellow ones the robots don't exactly care for, these are easy to locate based the yellow being incredibly noticeable and not being too deep in the rubble, these signify 1 point, these are limited, 150 across the entire stadium,

The next are the 2 pointers, these are smaller than the 1 pointers, are a light coloured brown (which contrasts still with the grey bricks) these are buried a little deeper and are more spread around the stadium, there are 75 in the stadium,

It then comes to the 3 pointers these are a lot less noticeable however are still somewhat distinctive, the robots will be the most protective of these, they are the smallest of all of the rocks and are a lavender-grey which makes them even harder to find, these are the most limited out of all of the rocks as there are 50 of these. 

30 people will go into each stadium, you cannot destroy the robots (this was a very strict rule as the school is on a budget and wants to re-use them the next few years for training and other entrance exams.) However you can disable them by touching their pressure points, these points will be based at the sides of the neck, right breast, behind the shins and the top of the robots head. Points will be deducted from anyone who destroys the robots. The trainees have ten minutes to collect as many point as as possible. Everyone who goes to the same school will be separated into different arenas to prevent team-ups.

Sounds simple right? 

After the explanation we were all separated into groups and lead away in different directions. I looked back, only to be met with Enji staring back at me, he made a weird hand movement before turning and walking away. I sighed turning forward.

I stood waiting nervously, the large gates in front of me loomed dauntingly over my head. I swallowed, feeling the bundle of nerves that had  gathered at the back of my mouth go down my throat.From what I could tell from observing the others in the group, they where all strong, I definitely had competition, I had my eye on a boy in the corner out of all of this however. He wasn't much to look at but even still he attracted my interest;  he had long black hair, a good bone structure in his face and tired looking eyes. His body from where I was looking looked well trained, muscular but still in most regards skinny. 

The boy looked concentrated, his tired eyes were closed and he looked to be doing some breathing exercise or something. I took my stare off him and looked over the group again. Suddenly a loud rumble snapped me out of my thoughts, the ground shook and several people around me lost their footing and fell. I watched as the buildings which peaked over the tops of the large walls crumbled and toppled over. And the gates suddenly opened.

Ok hello, I understand that for this chapter I have a bit of explaining to do, yes the original idea for the entrance exam was mine as if you remember they mentioned when Izuku did his that the exams where different each year, now it may be odd, but unfortunately I couldn't think of anything else. 2, I am fully aware that Aizawa, Hitashi and Nemuri are different ages to Toshinori and Enji, I am aware that they where not at the school together at the same time. 3 I am also aware that the times that i'm writing are irregular and I am completely unreliable when it comes to consistently pumping out chapters, I am working to fix this and I am trying my best to write, on top of all this I do ask that you guys please tell me how you feel about certain bits, especially when it comes to people feeling included and feeling like you are not left out in certain things. For example, I do feel like a lot of fanfics are usually targeted towards skinny white straight people, now i'm not saying that its bad if you are a skinny white straight person all i'm saying is that there isn't a lot of things that I have read where it is inclusive to all body types, skin colours and sexuality's. I completely understand what it feels like to not be represented in a book and I really want to make this as inclusive as I can, If i write anything that you feel off with please tell me!!! This can be in private dm on Instagram (x_.harri._x), on here or in the comments. Please don't be shy to call me out if you don't feel represented in this and I will listen to you and work on my writing style so that you feel included :) (Please note that this isn't what decision Y/N makes in the book, its on the things I listed above, body types, skin colours and sexuality's, when it comes to the way Y/N makes decisions I am going to carry on writing with that as I can't write focusing solely on what only one person would do.) I am terribly sorry for the long message and thank you to anyone who has read this, I am sorry for how unreliable I am. Please drink some water if you haven't, please eat if you haven't today, you are loved, you are cared about and ily :) -Harriet :)
