Chương 4: Entrance Exam 4

After spending a nice afternoon with Tsuyu getting some food and her showing me around the area, she sent me off at the train station where I made my commute back to Asakusa later in the day. While out in the city of Musutafu she gave me her thoughts on the exam and how she done in it.

The frog girl thought she done good compared to most others and was confident she would make it even though the ratio of acceptance was only 1 in 300. This confidence came from the speed advantage her quirk gave her, it allowed her to move around fast that other participants and therefore lowering the time it took to go from one villain bot to the next.

Which was something I noticed during the exam as well. Many students wasted a lot of time trying to find another target after claiming their points, since most of the time when the reached a bot someone else was already attacking it.

All in all Tsuyu's a nice girl compared to most, she put up with my lazy walking pace throughout the day and never complained once. By the time I left, we traded contact info to keep in touch.

The city where UA is stationed is quite large, although that is unsurprising considering it hosts one of the largest hero academies in japan along with a variety of top hero's stationing their agencies there.

We even got to see a few pro hero's in action, one being this enormous lady with long blonde locks. She had a type of gigantification quirk the allowed her to turn from a normal side woman to a giant similar in size to the zero pointers in the exam.

It was interesting seeing heroes doing their jobs, although it was commonplace for the citizens here, seeing heroes in action in Asakusa was basically impossible. There's next to zero patrols due to it being a low priority area, because of that we're left to deal with any villainous activities ourselves.

Nothing interesting happened on my way back to Asakusa, I took my time with a slow relaxed walk from the station to Konro's soba shop where I would probably spend a couple of hours before going to train.

Konro's shop was a medium sized store, that supplied the town with delicious food. It had the old Japanese style with the hidden roof and the majority of it being made of wood.

Stepping under the curtains I seen Konro with his feet up looking through a bunch of photos while a few customers ate his noodles at their tables.

Noticing me immediately he puts his feet down and moves closer to the divider separating the kitchen and the rest of the shop.

Looking at me with a mix of excitement and nervousness he asked "How did you do? Do you think you passed? Was it difficult?" This got the attention of the rest of the customers as the quietly awaited my answer with anticipation.

After almost blowing me away with a flurry of questions I state "Seriously Konro, your taking too many bad habits from the girls." which made a silly looking smile appear on his face.

"But to answer your questions" I looked at Konro along with everyone in the shop "I thought it was easy, I was leagues in front of everyone I tested with".

At my words the customers broke into cheers, clearly happy that I done well in the entrance exam.

If there was one thing I had to say that I liked the most about living here, it has to be how tightly knit the community is. Although it does get annoying at times with everyone's enthusiasm, it feelings good knowing that everyone cares for you, and will have you back no matter what.

It's for this reason me, Konro and many others can fight crime that comes to this area without complaints for the inhabitants. They know that heroes don't come round here, so they're all grateful for the vigilante work we put in to keep the town safe.

Although there's been a few times where the wreckage from a fight got too noticeable and heroes were called over, every time it's happened the townsfolk covered us and prevented the police from charging us with quirk misuse.

This is the reason I want to become a hero in the first place, so I can protect this place in the light instead of the dark, and let everyone live the rest of their days smiling and drinking.

"Well then everyone will eagerly await your acceptance letter" Konro stated, while the emotions on his scarred face showed me just how proud of me he was.

Taking a seat on a barstool I order plate and ask about the twins "Where's the two menaces? I thought they'd be here with you."

"Hinata and Hikage's at the old granny house, probably stuffing their face with sweets I'm guessing" Shivering as he mentions the biddy's treats, "Her sweets are just too much, my stomachs had enough of them over the years"

"I swear, that fossil's probably going to find a way to keep pumping out daifuku from beyond the grave, she tried to make me take a bag of 15 this morning" I complained about her unhealthy obsession with sweets.

Putting a fresh bowl of noodles down in front of me Konro pulls his phone out and says "Give me a minute and I'll call them".

At those words, faster than he could react I snatched the mobile phone from his hands and put it in my pocket.

"No way, at least wait till I'm finished the meal so I can eat in peace" I told him.

As I was about to dig into my dinner I heard two voices came from behind me.

"Waka the old crone gave us lots of deserts!"

"The old bags treats are the best!"

As they bombarded me with questions I just zoned out as best I could, need to get some energy before I deal with these two.

"What were the teachers-"

"You realise you've both been talking non stop for the last 10 minutes" I said with a deadpan stare, my red eyes staring at the two of them.

"Nope never noticed~" They both said cheerily.

Sighing in exertion I tell them about my day, before saying goodbye and heading back to my house for some training.

Getting through the front door, I walk straight to the dojo out back. Inside the wooden flooring was complete covered in tatamis, on one side was all of the martial arts training equipment, on the other was filled with different types of weights and calisthenics bars. In the middle of it all was fire proof mat where it would train my control over fire.

It work well because if I wasn't careful the flames could end up burning the entire place down.

Taking a seat on the mat I got into a meditation pose and formed a ram sign on one hand. Moments later bright orange flames fanned out from my back, slowly climbing higher they began to form a wheel that spun at slow pace.

With this I began my training, patiently awaiting the letter from UA.
