˚₊‧꒰ა . ——— ˗ˏˋ ✮ ˎˊ˗ ——— ˖ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

The entrance exam was going to be a piece of cake. As long as Rocky actually made it to the school on time that is, as she was currently chatting it up at a daycare. 

Dusting off her little brother’s clothes and handing him a teddy bear-shaped backpack.“Have a good day, Romeo– sorry for being so early Miss Aoki, I have–” 

“Yes, yes I know. You’re headed to the U.A. Entrance Exams aren’t you?” Daycare teacher Miss Aoki gave a warm smile as she unlocked the door to her classroom. 

Fifteen year old Rocky nodded, yellow eyes gleaming with excitement. 

Giving Rocky a small hug, Miss Aoki pulled back and patted her shoulder. “Good luck, Rocky dear. I believe in you greatly.” 

“Thank you,” Rocky said, dipping her head into a small bow before her brother jumped up to hug her. “Bye bye buddy! See you in a while yeah? Learn lots.”

 The two siblings hugged before the dark haired five year old toddled his way into the classroom. 

With that, Rocky gave a second small bow before bolting her way to the bus station, flagging down the leaving bus driver and sliding through the closing bus doors. 

The written portion was easy, albeit Rocky persevered her way through some hand cramps. Shuffling over in between the seats, she looked at her Exam ID and packet. She flipped through the information as she listened to the presenter, glancing around the room before the exam presentation started. 

A familiar platinum blonde head waved at her lightly. 

Yuki Nakayama, her friend since middle school. With white blonde hair and green eyes, the ghostly girl gave a friendly smile from across the auditorium. Yuki held up her print out, pointing at the exercise venue. In little writing, her’s had a “B” written on it. 

Frowning as she looked at her own “E”, she flipped her paper around to show her with a saddened expression. Yuki scrunched up her nose in distaste before the lights dimmed and spotlights shined onto a teacher with yellow hair spiked up like a paintbrush. 

“What’s up, U.A. Candidates?” He bellowed into the microphone. “Thanks for tuning into me, your school DJ!” 

Watching as the man make several exaggerated hand motions, Rocky paid close attention to the city’s #42 hero, Present Mic. 

“C’mon and let me hear ya!” He yelled, as complete silence spread over the auditorium. “Keeping it mellow huh?” He recovered after the deafening silence. “That’s fine, I’ll skip straight to the main show…” 

Rocky doodled on her arm as Mr. Present Mic went on to explain how the Practical Exams were to go down. She briefly looked at the colorful moving display of letters, each showcasing a different battle center, before writing down her own letter on her wrist, along with other important information he mentioned during the presentation, like how different ‘villains’ game a different amount of points. . 

Rocky watched as Yuki mocked one student who had asked a question in the middle of a presentation, mouthing his words with a snooty expression before quickly ghosting herself as the student cussed out another near her. 

The gigantic doors were a bit gimmicky, as they daunted in front of the very small 15 year olds. Inside, Rocky could only assume it was a city the size of San Francisco but she didn’t let that fact worry her. 

Instead, she cheerfully trotted around before the exams started, talking and introducing herself to people, making small talk with other students around. 

“Hey, I just wanted to say that I love your pants– literally so cute, where’d you get them?” 

“Gosh, I love your hair! The bow is so cute– woah did you just ribbit?” 

“Are you a bird? That’s seriously so cool– sorry, was that rude–? That’s just so epic.” 

“Sweet tracksuit! The color makes your skin glow– oh wait they're actually glowing–” 

“Split dyed hair? That’s actually so cute– I’ve been wanting to dye my hair forever, it’s just brown and boring– My name’s Rocky!” She held out her hand, smiling.

Hesitantly taking her hand, the shorter spoke. “Oh, hi. I’m Michi.” 

Rocky shook their hand gleefully, practically glowing with excitement, sun beating down on their faces. “Nice to meet you! Are you excited for the exam to start?” 

Michi seemed slightly unsure of their situation. “I’m more nervous than excited I think. My quirk is really unpredictable.” 

Tilting her head, Rocky smiled in response. “Well, I’m sure you’ll do amazing, if it makes you feel better, my quirk has nothing to do with combat at all really. But I’ve got my fists and a good right hook!” 

The shorter examinee smiled at that, Rocky’s enthusiasm was infectious. “Thank you..uh, I didn’t get your last name?”

“Right right, Rocky Tachibana– those are some pretty~ cards!” Rocky said, stretching out her words as she admired the glimmering cards the examinee across from her was shuffling. 

Michi paused, holding the cards close. “They’re a part of my quirk.” They explain. “Helps to have a physical version of them.”

“Oh fun! Are you like a magician?” 

“More like a diviner? I can see brief bursts of the future and my cards can let me change it.” Michi explained, beginning to shuffle the cards again. 

“Woah, that’s like crazy powerful!” But before Michi could respond, Rocky had swiveled her way past other examinees, her friendly voice starting to talk to some distant student as she disappeared into the crowd. 

Out of all the ridiculous things Michi had experienced in their life, a goose delivering an acceptance letter was probably one of the weirdest. 

They had been working in their garden, clipping dead leaves from some of the herbs when a loud honk drew Michi’s attention to their front door. What they saw almost made them laugh. 

A goose, holding a white envelope stood in front of the door, angrily facing Michi’s father, Shuhei. The centaur heteromorph had one of the most confused looks on  his face that Michi had ever seen. 

“Is that a goose?” They asked, removing their gloves and walking to the door. As they did so, the goose turned around to face Michi. The goose’s entire face was covered in grass, and the letter it held had not escaped the same fate. “Oh you poor thing…” Michi giggled, pulling out their phone to take a picture after grabbing the letter.

Shuhei took the letter from Michi, inspecting the seal. “Kid, this is the U.A. seal.” Michi paused, looking away from the goose. Their eyes were wide, glancing between their father and the letter. 

“What-- Already?” They took the letter from their father. A look of hope glimmered in their eyes.
