The day of the entrance exam came and Kaminari walked nervously towards the school. The small device was hooked to his ear, pinging a signal of his location to the Villain Bar where most of the League was situated. However, Midoriya had chosen to scout out the area himself, prepared with his quirk as well. Kaminari approached the gates, worried that the device would be found, but as he passed the gates, no one made an attempt to check him. He sighed in relief. He entered the front doors and headed towards the exam venue, the written test.

Midoriya had set up base in a nearby building maintaining the connection to the channel that the League was using currently to communicate with Kaminari. For Kaminari to get in, he would need to get substantial grades, as well as pass the physical test later on. But Kaminari couldn't excel, this would bring attention to him as well, and so Midoriya had planned out how to play the entrance exams. As he looked at the gates of UA he spotted a familiarly spiked hair, making it's way to the entrance of the school. "Kacchan..." he muttered under his breath. Bakugo was still the same bully that he remembered from their childhood, hands in his pocket, a cocky smile on his face. His blonde hair was apparent in a sea of multi-colored hair. Midoriya gritted his teeth. "Uh, Midoriya you okay?" Twice said, looking in the same direction that Midoriya had been looking at. "I can't see anyone though." Midoriya waved off Twice's concerns, looking at Tomura. "It's time, let's get a villain into UA."

-ZZZT-

"Kaminari heads up, Midoriya will be relaying instructions," Tomura's voice crackled over the channel as Kaminari sat down for the written test. As the examiner started reading exam instructions, Midoriya's voice kicked in. "Kaminari try to answer them all, but try and get the minimum marks needed to pass the test, we'll get you that passing grade with the physical examination." Kaminari thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, he'll manage to sneak inside anyways, the main challenge is figuring out what these tests would give the grades for, and that would be all. He started to write as the League and Midoriya switched to a secondary channel to avoid distracting him while talking to pass the time.

"So Midoriya, you haven't told us your motivation yet. Come on, telling us won't hurt," Toga spoke over the comms system.

"I don't have to," Midoriya replied, not wanting to discuss it.

"Aww come on," Twice could be heard in the background.

"Shut up Twice," Midoriya said, "I'll tell you when the time is ripe."

"Stop sounding like some old man, Midoriya," Twice whined in the background, but Midoriya ignored it. He took out his notes on the UA exams. Most of the questions were open-ended, but there were also aspects to test students' basic abilities in math and languages, as UA was required to provide basic education alongside the hero course.

A little camera at the tip of the ear-device allowed Midoriya to spot the questions, this was done in case the prior crash-course with Kaminari failed. He hoped that Kaminari was doing the right thing as his pen scribbled frantically on one of the open-ended questions. Midoriya took a look at the question. What does it mean to be a hero? He laughed. He had expected the question but he didn't expect it to make him laugh. But that was the irony of it. His answer didn't get him a position in UA. His quirkless nature put a brake on his dreams.

A year ago, he had seen his hero, All Might as he saved himself and Bakugo from a slimy monster. Bakugo had suffered serious injuries as he was nearly suffocated by the slime and Midoriya could do nothing, he had tried to do something but it was useless. Another villain attacked him when he was going home without Bakugo, and All Might had saved him again.

He had asked All Might a question.

Can some quirkless be a hero?

And he gave a definitive answer.

No.

His head swam.

What a twisted society, thought Midoriya to himself, as he continued to survey the monitors. It was about time that someone showed the world that someone quirkless can topple the world of quirks. No longer will the quirkless live in the fear of abilities, no longer will they hide in fear of what may come tomorrow. They weren't amazed, they were terrified of what they could be.

Lost in his own thoughts, Kaminari had finished the written test.

Good luck Kaminari, he thought to himself
