*Midoriya's P.O.V*

This week has been crazy to say the absolute least.

I can't even count all the bizarre, sad, scary, and happy moments this week, even if I had 4 arms.

Let's review.

This past week I just got news that my mom contracted a fatal disease that can be cured it's just an expenisve procedure, so chalk that one onto the sad moments category.

After a whole 5 minutes of wandering around trying to find a job to pay for said operation, I was attacked and almost killed by a Slime Villain.

Then All Might saved me.

Soon after crushed my dreams saying I can't be a hero being a quirkless teenager.

Immediately after Bakugou, or as I call him Kacchan, was attacked by the same Slime Villain.

I instincively rushed face first in to save him.

Then all the heroes who didn't even try to help Kacchan called me an idiot.

Then as if on cue All Might returns to save us both and apprehend the Slime Villain.

Of course the world doesn't cut me a break because I was reprommanded by the very same heroes, while Kacchan was praised, mainly because he had a quirk and I didn't.

But then once I was almost home, All Might appeared.

After telling me more about what he said before and praising me for running face first into danger knowing I might die, and called it the 'true esscence of being a hero'.

Tears were forming in the corners of my eyes, then All Might told me that I have the potential to be his successor of his Quirk: One for All.

I was estatic, excited, happy that I can finally achieve my dream of being an actual hero... then I remembered my Mother's illness.

After telling him about it, he pulled out his pocket book and wrote me a check for 500,000 yen.

I was dumbfounded and shocked at his sudden generosity.

At first I refused the money, reason being that I didn't want to take a large sum of money from the symbol of hope.

He insisted that I take the money, saying it was a payment to becoming his successor.

But I still refused.

He sighed with slight frustration, then he said that if I was so adamant on not taking the money, then how about paying him back every last amount.

Thinking back on it now I should have taken the money when All Might offered it first, but I accepted it anyway and was saddled with an unecessary debt.

After I took the check, All Might told me to give the check to my Mother and then to meet him at the beach at day break.

Nodding I took the check and ran to my home.

I gave the check to my sick mother who was laying in bed, she looked at the amount and started crying.

That's when the realization hit me the fact that I, got enough money to cure my Mother's illness, and I will also be learning under All Might to get his Quirk and become his successor as the Symbol of Peace.

When all of that sunk in, I couldn't help but sob uncontrollably.

Once all the emotion went away, tomorrow came around and I was ready to start my training with All Might.

He told me that the U.A enterance exams are coming up in about 10 months and we needed to start training pronto.

Long story short it was hell.

It started with me being tasked with cleaning up the whole beach that was turned into a dump, and with me being unable to drag a lone washing machine, I was being insulted by All Might.

After the first day however, All Might gave me a work out and food schedule to use at home.

Though my Mother was being treated for her illness at the hospital so the food was being made by me, but as time went on I pretty good at cooking if I do say so myself.

Now the training hit a few snags with me deviating from the regime which was made very specifically for me and any sight deviation would ruin everything... as All Might put it.

He scoulded me for deviating and said that it was constructed to the very minute detail for me and my body, even though I told him that I needed to work harder than anyone else thanks to my lack of a quirk.

Soon after that snag, 10 months were over and the beach was cleaned up entirely.

All Might was clearly impressed, and rushed to catch my tired body.

After a few words of praise, All Might was ready to give me his quirk One for All.

...Which involved eating his hair.

As much as I would have liked to take my time when it involved eating All Might's 'DNA' he was quick to tell me that the Entrance Exam was in a few hours.

Quickly swallowing the hair I grabbed my stuff and ran as fast as I could to the testing area.

That about wraps up the week I've had... now all that's left is to pass the Entrance Exams.

Absolutely nothing can stop m-

I tripped over my own foot and was plummeting fast towards the ground... until I was caught a few inches from the ground.

"Are you okay?" A voice said.

I looked up to see... a girl.

Not just a girl, a girl with long brown hair.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she held her had out.

"Y-Yeah I-I'm fine, c-could you let me d-down?" I asked suttering almost every word, I always struggled with talking with girls, I've been trying to stop that habit but it hasn't been going well.

"Okay." She said as she touched both her fingers, "Release." She said as I fell face first onto the pavement.

"Anyway good luck with the exams." The girl said walking into the testing hall.

After recovering from the close encounter with the second kind I entered the testing hall.

Only to walk into Kacchan.

Needless to say he was angry and confused as to why I was here.

Before I could answer any of his question the written portion started.

It was simple enough, I feel like I passed that part, but it was the Practical part of it that worried me the most.

We were tasked with taking out robots, each robot gives different point values ranging from 0-3.

After that explanation we were thrown into the battlefield.

Needless to say I was freaking out.

Everyone else was fighting off the robots as if it was second nature, which makes sense they had their quirks since pretty much birth, while I just got my quirk literally a few hours ago.

Whilst I was frantically looking for anything, a giant robot came and was looming over the brown haired girl from earlier.

I was scared at what the robot will do to her, afraid that the robot might kill her so I sprung into action, using the power All Might bestowed upon me to save her.

I directed the power to my legs to jump a great distance, then I directed the same power to my right arm, delivering a shattering right hook onto the robot.

Now all that I thought about was landing safely, then it hit me that the blowback from using my power broke my arm and legs.

So I was saying my last prayers and confessions before I breached the pearly gates... at least that's what I thought, until.

*SLAP*

The same girl slapped me causing me to float for a second negating the falling velocity.

"R-Release." She said as I collided with the ground.

She sighed with relief thankful that I was fine... then she started throwing up.

While I was thankful she saved me, I was still at 0 points, so I crawled towards the robot she was on, to hopefully get 1 point... then the sound of my fears echoed through out the area.

"TIMES UP!" Present Mic yelled.

That sound was like a hammer shattering my heart.

My one chance... was ruined.

I couldn't help but cry as Recovery Girl healed my broken limbs.

She of course scoulded me and All Might repromanding us for being reckless and not training me to use One for All properly... but that didn't help me get into U.A

A few days later I got the results, mother was resting in her room still recovering from the procedures, so I was watching my results from home.

It was a video recording from All Might.

It was pre recorded so he couldn't answer my comments and questions.

He started off by saying that I had 0 points during the practical, which crushed my spirits.

But he then said '... if that were the only part to it'

After motioning my attention to the screen, it showed the girl who he saved offering her points to him.

It was a touching moment, which helped All Might segway into the second part of the Practical Exam.

He explains how can U.A reject someone who saved someones life.

So he brought up the secret part of the exam Hero Points, points awared for doing heroic acts during the exam.

In a shocking outcome at least for me, I earned 60 points and earned my place in U.A.

And that's how my jounrey into U.A started.
