CHAPTER START---

"He's up, cripple boy," Horizon says, leaning back on Nezu's couch with a bottle of water in his hand.

"You're calling him 'Cripple Boy'?" Nezu asks, watching Izuku walk up to throw the baseball.

"It's what he'll be if he doesn't get his shit together, but if Eraserhead is as much of a hardass as you said his hero career ends here," Horizon shrugs and gives the screen his full attention.

Nezu takes a sip from his second cup of tea. "Unfortunately unless Midoriya has made some great improvements that appears to be the case, normally he'd expel you for not showing up on the first day of school, but since you're with me he can't do that."

They see Izuku eventually throw the ball by only activating One For All in a single finger, and Nezu smiles, but Horizon just sighs in disappointment.

"It's rare for a Quirk to hurt the user like that," Horizon says. "Most Quirks have a kind of built-in recoil absorption, but somehow you let in two Quirks without that adaptation. One breaks bones and the other needs a diaper."

"True, but Midoriya and Aoyama have great potential, as he's just shown," Nezu says as they watch Eraserhead restrain Bakugo.

As they continue watching the test, Eraserhead guides the students to the sit-up, pushup, and long-distance running sections, and both Nezu and Horizon can't help but get a bit bored.

"So how much did you tell your staff about me?" Horizon asks.

"Absolutely nothing," Nezu cackles a bit but gets himself under control. "I think it'll be quite amusing to see their reactions, especially since many of them were against me breaking our 'No Scouting' policy for you, they were up in arms after I didn't require you to take the entrance exam, or even the recommended students exam."

"And you want me to show off and prove them wrong, right?"

"Right, it's quite obvious that I'm playing favorites for you, so I'd like you to show that I made the right decision to do so."

"Not like that wasn't the plan anyway," Horizon shrugs. "Popularity is the easiest way to climb the ranks, so I'll be using everything I can."

"Excellent, now, did you see any Quirks from your classmates that you believe can challenge you?" Nezu asks with a smirk.

"Nope, not even close," Horizon casually says, then takes a sip of his water.

"Todoroki?" Nezu asks.

"I can Warp, that makes projectiles and brawlers pretty much useless, plus my sword can out damage literally everything in that class. Could have maybe been fun if the guy would use his fire, but it looks like he isn't confident with that side of his body."

"Bakugo?"

"Same thing as Todoroki, just he seems more loud and annoying. But he can't hit me and I can beat his damage, very badly at that."

"Hmm," Nezu strokes his chin for a moment. "Midoriya?"

"Super-Power that he can't even control, what a joke."

"Iida?"

"Warping makes speed irrelevant since my reaction time is near instant," Horizon shrugs.

"Fumikage?"

"Dark Shadow huh... I'm fairly sure it sucks against light, judging by the name and appearance, so I can counter it."

"Naval Laser?"

"That had better be a joke," Horizon grumbles.

"Hardening?"

"I can break any defense."

"Zero Gravity?"

"Doesn't really work against people who aren't dependant on gravity to move, like fliers or warpers."

"Tail?"

"Oh now you're just trying to be funny," Horizon chuckles. "He's basically any Quirkless fuck with a stick."

"Invisibility?"

"Hmm, I can sense people, but is it mutation or emitter type?"

"Mutation," Nezu says.

"Damn...if it was Emitter I'd be able to see her...but wait, if she isn't blind then it's an emitter type, right? True invisibility is impossible as a mutation because it would make you either blind or a pair of floating eyeballs," he says.

"Her application said Mutation, and she's been invisible since birth," Nezu says. "Perhaps it was wrong, but you'll find out soon enough."

"What about her?" Horizon asks, gesturing to a pretty girl with a wild ponytail. "The one doing situps with Jiro."

"Momo Yaoyorozu---"

"Yaoyorozu?" Horizon asks, surprise in his voice. "Never expected that, that family is almost as rich as me," he chuckles.

"You would have bumped them off the top twenty most wealthy dynasties in Japan if your assets were publicly audited," Nezu says. "Still nowhere close to being number one however."

"Well I'm sorry if I don't have the biggest brain on the planet to work stocks and sell patents, but unlike you, I don't have to sink all my money into funding UA, how much does it cost you a year? Construction is dirt cheap since Quirks exist, but you really like using robots..."

"The cost is astronomical, plus the infrared security system is also quite expensive, since UA is a dozen kilometers across."

"Yeah well I'm sure the hero tax on people like All Might and Endeavour paid for some of it, right?"

"Aside from them that hasn't covered much," Nezu shrugs. "But the tax isn't about the money, not entirely."

"Mhm," Horizon nods. "A completely free education with all books and uniforms included...on the condition that you get 5% of their hero salary for the first 10 years of hero work, a good way to make sure you don't let any good Quirks slip by just because they couldn't afford the otherwise insane cost of studying here."

"Exactly, and speaking of Ms. Yaoyorozu, she was a recommended student."

"Really, her Quick is Item Creation?" Horizon asks, seeing her making roller skates and starting the long-distance run.

"No, just Creation, any non-living thing can be made from her fat cells."

Horizon stares at the screen for a moment, "she's made a baseball pitcher, skates, a vice, car jacks, and a few other things...so either she ignores the laws of thermodynamics...or her fat cells are extra dense because of her Quirk."

"She hasn't mentioned either of those," Nezu says.

"She probably hasn't noticed, most people don't notice things like that. I didn't notice the changes my Quirk makes to my body until I started blacking out...wasn't eating enough," he shrugs.

"Well that explains why you're always eating when I see you, you're big but two pizzas is still a bit much."

"You'll get used to it, but as for Creation girl, I'm guessing she isn't allowed to make firearms or certain weapons right, because from the looks of it her items don't decay."

"Nope, she's forbidden from making any reusable illegal items, grenades and such are fine because they're destroyed with each use, but guns are a no-no," Nezu says in a cheery voice. "Are you perhaps interested in her?"

"I was..."

"Really? Well, you do have a type from what I've seen."

Horizon grumbles, "not like that Nezu, and you know I can't date heroes, that's a nightmare. Her Quirk, I've never seen anything so close to reaching mine, not as powerful but the versatility makes up for it. If she didn't have such limited fuel then we could have maybe had a good fight, even I can't be ready for everything she can do with that Quirk."

"Exactly why we accepted her, along with her getting the third highest score on the recommended entrance exam, but the first place winner declined UA after the exam for some reason," Nezu says in a sad voice, a small sigh escapes his mouth as he recalls such promising talent walking away from UA.

"Must have been one hell of an obstacle course race... too bad he didn't accept, maybe he would have been some competition."

"His Quirk was wind manipulation---"

"Nevermind, add him to the trash pile..." Horizon groans in disappointment and leans back.

Nezu shakes his head, "I just hope you don't embarrass yourself when the time comes to back up all your talk," he glances to the screen, seeing the field completely empty. Looking at his phone he reads a short message from Eraser Head. "It looks like Midoriya won't be expelled for his performance today."

"What? That doesn't make any sense, why?"

"You can ask him when you see him, however, I have absolute trust in Aizawa," Nezu hops down from the couch and walks over to Horizon.

"What?" he looks down at Nezu.

"Your classmates will be back in the classroom soon to get a breakdown of the UA syllabus, but I'll need to steal Aizawa away for a few minutes to discuss some things with Vlad King, he's class 1Bs teacher, let's go to your homeroom, I'd like to say hello to your classmates, and explain your absence so Aizawa doesn't snap," Nezu makes a 'pick up' gesture similar to a baby.

Horizon groans and shakes his head, "I'm not carrying you."

"C'mon, I'm less than a meter tall, look at these adorable tiny legs," he gestures to his feet and moves them about. "You're 193cm -6ft3-, just carry me so we'll save time."

Horizon looks at Nezu, then at his metal case, and Katana, "I can't believe this."

"The sword can remain in my office, there isn't a spot for it in the shelves," Nezu says.

Horizon sighs and reaches down, placing Nezu to sit on his shoulder as he stands up, "I can't believe I'm doing this, do you do this with everyone?" he asks while picking up his metal case, book, and pencil case, all with his logo on them.

"Mostly with Vlad King, he's about as tall as you are, but a lot nicer."

"You'll get over it..." Horizon mutters as they leave the office, careful and bored steps toward class 1A...

CHAPTER START---

"Don't waste that much time walking back to class next time," Aizawa grumbles as everyone enters the classroom, the quiet conversations going silent as they find their seats.

He looks over the class, and glances at Izuku, "how's your finger?"

"Much better sir!" Izuku answers, raising his hand and waving around the bandaged digit.

"Good, because this is how low the bar has been set, from this moment onward, I expect constant improvement from each and every one of you." Everyone stiffens up as his voice suddenly becomes strict. "Look around, there are twenty students in this class, and hundreds that want your spots, at UA we demand constant improvement, to stop improving is to fall behind, and people are just waiting for the chance to take your place."

Some people begin to sweat ever so slightly at those words.

"Sir!" Iida raises his hand.

"What is it?"

"You said twenty students, but..." he looks to his left, past Koda, past Tokayami, to the empty seat behind Izuku and in front of Yaoyorozu.

"He's a special case, and he'll be here shortly," Aizawa says. "For now I want you to focus on these," Aizawa taps the board and a long list appears. "These are your scores from the entrance exams and the test we just completed, the recommended students are colored in blue while everyone else is in white, only because they had a different practical exam during the entrance exam, you've all been ranked..."

A flurry of 'oohs' is heard as each student scans the board. Yaoyorozu fights the proud smirk on her lips, yet blushes slightly, genuinely surprised to be at the very top of the board. Scoring 92 on the written exam, 3rd in the obstacle course for the recommended entrance exam, and first in the quirk test.

The entire class turns to her for a moment causing her to blush even more. Todoroki is in third, with Bakugo between them.

And Bakguo's face splits into a devious grin, suppressing his rowdy victorious laugh as he sees Izuku down at number nineteen.

"As you can see," Aizawa says, "at UA, competition is one of our primary motivators. Every exam, every test, every mid-term and finals, you will be ranked like this and everyone will see your scores. You aren't just trying to surpass yourself from yesterday, but all the people here sitting beside you."

The entire room perks up at his words, suddenly feeling more and more pressure trying to crush them, the expectations of a UA student.

For some like Iida and Bakugo, it made them stronger, made them want to fight harder and surpass their limits.

For Yaoyorozu and Izuku, it made them feel to curl up into a ball and hide away.

But everyone felt something at this realization finally setting in.

"This year alone seventeen thousand people were competing for these spots. In this room alone we've got two recommended students," most of the class glances back at Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, "and seventeen public entrance exam students, if you slack off it's over..."

As Aizawa continues, most of the class does the simple math and can't quite get it out of their heads '17+2=19, not 20.'

They look past Aizawa and to the board behind him, eyes dropping to the very bottom of the list.

'Horizon

Entrance Exam Score:---

Written Exam Score:---

Quirk Apprehension Test:---'

Iida can't help it and raises his hand, unable to fight his desire to stand and confront this.

Eraser grumbles and glances over to him, "if you want to know just ask Horizon when he gets here," he says before going back to his terrifying speech.

Iida sits back in his seat impatiently.

Hearing that name and seeing it on the board confirms what All Might told him earlier, and Izuku begins sweating nervously, looking down at his hand. 'If he touches me he could notice how unusual One For All is, and connect me with All Might...no, with Toshinori Yagi, since he doesn't know he's All Might, I need to be careful,' he clenches his fist and nearly screams in pain, forgetting about his injured finger.

"Alright, now I'll give a short breakdown of the syllabus, in the hero course each homeroom teacher has complete control over their class, so---"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

The massive door at the front of the room slides open.

All eyes are glued to Horizon and Nezu, stepping into the room with the metal case for his hero costume hanging in his right hand, and a notebook and pencil case in his left.

Towering over most of the class and taller than Shoji by just 5cm -2 inches-, making him look like a giant before some of his peers. The UA uniform didn't do much to stop the intimidating presence he gave off, silently turning his head, the black visor glancing about the room, completely unreadable.

But this presence caused everyone to get confused when they looked up to see Nezu sitting on his shoulder, happily smiling down at them.

'So cute!' most of the girls thought, while some people were just confused about the entire situation.

"Hello everyone!" Nezu excitedly waves at the students. "It's your favorite Mouse-Bear, impossibly adorable, and most importantly, your principal! Nezu!" he sees confused and amazed looks at his introduction. He taps the top of Horizon's visor a few times, "and this is your classmate, Horizon, sorry he's a bit late. He actually got to school early but I called him into my office to deal with some matters, and we decided to watch your Quirk test from there, excellent work everyone! I can tell we've got a batch of future heroes right here."

"You're really the principal?" Uraraka blurts out, "you're so cute!"

Aizawa groans which they all ignore, and Horizon just quietly listens, currently acting as a statue for Nezu to sit on.

"Of course I'm your principal Ms. Uraraka," he waves to her. "It was decided by who had the best hair, and naturally no human could ever match the luscious shine of my coat, so I've been the principal of UA for nearly fifty years."

All but a few people freeze at that, since Nezu isn't in the spotlight like most heroes young children will rarely know about him unless they have to.

"He's messing with you infinity girl," Horizon says, his slightly mechanical voice sending a chill down her spine. "He's a mouse that developed a Quirk, High Spec, gives him a brain better than a dozen supercomputers, 'intellect beyond human comprehension' is the official description, he also pays for all the robots that tried to kill you in the entrance exam...most important person in UA."

"And he's so cute!" Mina can't help but yell out. Earning a small chorus of agreement.

Aizawa grumbles loudly, "Nezu, here for one minute and already turned my class into a damn circus," he points at Horizon while everyone stares. "And you, don't get too comfortable because Principal Nezu is playing favorites, I expect you to work hard just like everyone else here, prove you deserve your spot."

"But I'm not playing favorites..." Nezu weakly defends, earning a doubtful glance from everyone in the room.

"Whatever, let's go, Vlad is waiting," Aizawa steps closer and Nezu hops down from Horizon's shoulder and onto his, getting comfortable in his scarf. He turns to the class, suddenly looking a lot less intimidating with Nezu on him, and speaks in a gruff voice. "I'll be back in a few minutes to explain the syllabus, don't get rowdy..."

"Good luck students, I'm expecting great things from all of you!" Nezu excitedly waves as the door closes, now leaving Horizon standing in front of the class.

ROOM

He immediately turns to look at Toru Hagakure, the formerly invisible girl, now he sees an adorable and slim girl with short white-green hair and eyes excitedly bouncing in her seat, mouthing the words to a song as she looks around the room.

'Guess it isn't a mutation, I should tell Nezu sometime...' he turns without saying a word and walks to the end of the room, directly opposite the front door.

"May I ask a question, Horizon!"

He stops and sighs, turning to see Iida standing stiffly, eyes completely focused on him.

"Well, I can't stop you."

"My name is Tenya Iida, it's a pleasure to meet you," Iida nods, and below his visor Horizon rolls his eyes.

"Get to the point Engine."

"Right, I'd like to know why you don't have any scores on the board," Iida points to the board behind Horizon, and he glances back for a moment to see.

"Oh, that. Question, why do those exams exist?" He asks nobody in particular.

"To test who is worthy of entering UA academy of course," Iida answers immediately.

"Exactly," Horizon places his one book and pencil case down on Aizawa's desk and continues walking to the far wall. "So why waste time and energy on someone who you know will always get a perfect score, and is incapable of losing to anyone else at the exam?"

"What are you saying?!" Iida asks, much of the class immediately got heated at Horizon's attitude and insinuation, Bakugo could almost feel his hands sweating as his veins bulged and eyes narrowed.

Horizon taps the wall, the closest of the four marked rectangles almost reaching from floor to ceiling to the front wall, and out comes a shelf with five similar metal cases.

He places his repainted case in the spot where number '19' would go while he answers, " I'm saying it's impossible for me not to get a perfect score, or to get beaten by any of you," he pushes the shelf back into the wall and moves to get his things from Aizawa's desk. Now turning to face the class, "so while all of you were fighting your little hearts out to get these precious spots...I took a day for myself and went surfing," he chuckles at their angry and horrified expressions.

Angry that he'd get such special treatment, and act like this toward them, but some were rightly horrified at a simple thought.

'If he didn't need the exams, just what kind of a monster is it?', mainly Todoroki, Bakugo, Iida, Izuku, and Yaoyorozu immediately thought of this, but over the next few seconds the thought entered everyone's mind, causing his already intimidating presence to appear downright monstrous.

And in their moment of horror and awe, that monster turned his attention to the most nervous, and sweaty person in the room, judging by how he was shaking and already had a layer of cold sweat on him. Izuku Midoriya.

Leaning back against Aizawa's desk Horizon keeps his arms at his side, palms down on the desk, and looks directly at Izuku.

"So, cripple boy, Izuku Midoriya, why the fuck are you still here?"
