"U.A.'s assessment is different from other high school assessments! Especially the Hero Course you are applying for! It requires top combat talent! Among similar subjects in the country, it is the most popular but also the most difficult assessment!
"The Hero Department of U.A. High School, with a competitiveness of over 300 every year, has produced heroes like All Might, the No.1 Hero who refused national honors! Endeavor, who has solved the most cases in history! And Best Jeanist, winner of the Best Jeanist Award for eight consecutive years!"
"They all come from U.A.! So if you want to become a top hero, you must graduate from U.A.!"
These were Mt. Lady's original words!
It was both a reminder and encouragement...
Therefore, because of these conditions, U.A. has become a challenge for many new-generation students who want to become heroes.
A school that represents heroes!
Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Ren did not stop and walked toward the hall for the Hero Course exam briefing at U.A. High School.
The crowd had basically taken their seats, and Ren looked at his own seat: "B11..."
A very noticeable position!
But as soon as he sat down, Ren heard a familiar female voice beside him: "Um... please let me pass... okay, thank you!"
Immediately after, a straightforward girl sat beside Ren.
She had a large bow tied in her hair, which looked a bit strange... but she had a good figure!
"Hey, Ren..." a soft voice came from behind.
Ren could easily tell who it was.
He was also a little surprised: "Ochaco..."
Ochaco Uraraka was also surprised.
It was obvious she was very excited, and her face turned slightly red!
The girl beside her also introduced herself and extended her hand: "Tsuyu Asui! Please take care of me!"
"Ren."
He reached out and shook hands lightly.
Ren recognized her when she approached.
When she spoke, her long tongue occasionally stuck out, just like a frog...

The lights above everyone's heads were turned off instantly, and the entire venue became dark. The remaining crowd sat down.
When everyone looked toward the stage, the spotlight instantly focused on one person.
He had messy hair, a short beard, and a device around his neck, with small, lively eyes.
"Everyone taking the exam, welcome to my live broadcast today!"
After speaking, Present Mic began his explanation. Even without holding a microphone, his loud voice filled the entire venue.
"You will participate in a ten-minute [practical assessment]! You may bring any items. After my explanation, you will all head to your respective areas."
...
"It seems students from the same school are not allowed to be assessed together..."
Tsuyu Asui looked at the number plates of her classmates and then at her own, sighing.
"That's normal. Being assessed with the same school wouldn't be fair to individuals..." Ren said casually.
Tsuyu Asui immediately understood: "If there's coordination in the assessment, it would be unfair to others and wouldn't reflect individual ability..."
Flipping through the manual on the desk, all the rules and precautions for the assessment were clearly marked.
At this moment, Present Mic continued:
"There are three types of [imaginary enemies] in the practice field! There are large numbers of them, and different scores are assigned based on their difficulty! Defeat them and earn points—that is your goal!"
"However, any behavior that goes against the spirit of the exam is strictly prohibited!"
...
"So just earn your own points, and you absolutely cannot interfere with others..." Tsuyu Asui muttered.
Ren did not speak.
Although the assessment seemed simple, the manual clearly showed that it was not as easy as it looked.
The most critical point—
They could use their Quirks freely in the assessment...
Flipping through the manual, there were three types of enemies with different scores, but the last type—the large shadow enemy—had a score of zero!
A slight smile appeared on Ren's lips. Most people did not notice this...
However, Ren knew clearly that this was like a smoke bomb, and the fourth type of enemy was not something everyone could handle.
Even with everyone's Quirks, it would take great effort to defeat it—and the key point was that it gave zero points.
No one would do something thankless for the fourth type of enemy.
...
After answering some questions, Present Mic gave the final call:
"Go!"
"Go!!"
Amid the excited shouts, Ren also walked toward his exam area.
At this moment, Ochaco's voice came from behind—
"Ren, good luck!"
