MHA: Sage Mode

Chapter 6: UA



UA, the place where most of the world's top Heroes graduated, looks a lot bigger in person than I initially imagined.

A huge crowd of people were making their way through the entrance. I saw some familiar faces from Class 1-A and 1-B respectively.

This guy Izuku still managed to do his falling scene even with me beside him. Well, some things never change, I guess. The interaction between Ochako and Izuku was really cute. As an avid reader, I will always be rooting for you guys.

I completed my first half of the exam pretty early. Soon after, I met up with Yaoyorozu.

Did I mention that I am taking the recommendation exam? I couldn't be bothered with taking the normal one. It was too much of a waste of energy.

As we reached the second phase of the exam, I saw Inasa approaching Todoroki. Shoto's eyes were filled with hatred. It looked like he hated everything the world had to offer. I quietly sneaked passed everyone and approached him.

"Hey, don't be too down by his attitude. That guy was never loved as a child." I said to Inasa like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Unfortunately, Shoto heard my remark.

"What did you just say?" Shoto angrily started walking towards me. "Who do you think you are to talk about my family?" He looked quite furious.

Shit, I messed up. I didn't plan to hurt him. So he is this sensitive at this time of his life. I totally understand what he feels and why he reacts to things. To be honest, I actually sympathize with him. He reminds me of my past life.

They will never make me like you, Endeavor.

"Hey look, I know it was a crazy thing to say. I even sympathize with how you feel, but you have to let go of that hatred. If you want to be a hero, you will have to learn to confront people with a postive energy. You don't want to end up like your dad, right?"

"What do you know about me?" As soon as he finished saying that, Present Mic's voice came in.

"Okay, the written test of the recommendation entrance exam is over! Use your quirk freely to reach the finish line!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started warming up near the starting line. Todoroki was still staring daggers at me though. Can't do anything about it. Let's finish this first.

"Start!"

As soon as we heard that, everyone started using their quirks. Todoroki quicky took the lead gliding through his ice. Inasa was side by side with him. I too started speeding up my pace.

"Sage Mode: Flash step"

I finished the race in a single swoop, overtaking both of them. They looked pretty interested now. Inasa put his attention towards me and smilingly called it "the coolest thing he has seen."

It's better to occupy him with me than let him approach Todoroki. I don't want him to change his decision and go to Shiketsu.

To be honest, that's the main reason I took the recommendation exam. It's a waste of his talent to not end up with the best.

His personality is really good. I wouldn't mind staying good friends with him. I asked for his contacts and made my way out of the venue.

After that drama, I catched up with Midoriya. It seems like he still managed to hurt himself. At least he didn't end up with broken legs and hands. He managed to use 40 percent on his arms and legs, which in term did injure him but not so seriously.

We were now waiting for the results of the exam. It's pretty obvious that I got first place in the recommendation exam. I wanted to check how much Izuku got this time around.

Eighty points in total. He got three more points than Bakugo, making him the top scorer of the general exam. I pretty much expected this much. There are going to be a lot of changes from now on.

I have been trying trying to put wind in my rasengan. But it seems I don't have the affinity or the concept of power in this world is rejecting the idea itself. How can I form the rasengan but not the rasenshuriken? I am not able to use any jutsus either.

Time and time again, many things have pointed out that this is not chakra but something a part of me itself, very much unique to me only. That's how quirks are supposed to work. This is really a quirk, nothing too complicated.

These past few days, I have done nothing but experiment more on my quirk. But to no avail, I can't advance. It's like I am stuck and there is a huge wall blocking my way. If this keeps on happening, I will be standing in the same place. I really need a teacher. I guess the timing couldn't be any better. I am going to be starting my first class at UA now.

I slowly got up from my bed and took a warm shower. I cooked myself a pair of eggs with bread and bacon wrapped like a sandwich. I can cook fairy well. I gulped the orange juice and got up.

In my relection, I looked not too bulky and not too thin, just the right amount with some muscles. I grabbed my bag and headed out.

I am in a really good mood today. Excited would be a better choice of word. I wanted to enjoy my high school life while making good friends. I am developing a postive attitude towards life. Having superpowers is really the best fever dream.

I finally reached a big door with 1-A written in it. After I walk through these door, a lot of things will soon come my way. I can hear people talking through the door. I slowly opened it.

I could see Inasa trying to talk with Todoroki again. His eyes landed on me. He frankctically started waving at me with a huge smile in his face.

"Morning guys," I said with a calm look on my face.

Todoroki seems to be practically ignoring me. Meanwhile, Yayorozu and Inasa asked me to sit beside them. I humbly obliged. I was seated near the back with Yayorozu and Inasa on my side alongside the invisible girl (Hagakure) in front of me. I wonder if I can see her with my quirk. Before I could experiment, I could hear Aizawa's voice coming from the front.

Oh well, maybe next time. Everything almost happened like the cannon. He asked us to get ready for a quirk apprehension test.

As we made our way towards the field, he threw a ball towards Midoriya. This is new. So he asked the person who scored the best in the entrance exam to demonstrate.

Midoriya got ready and threw the ball while shouting "Smash". Bakugo lunged at him after seeing that, and Aizawa held him down. He was even angrier and confused about how Midoriya got first place in the exam.

"Hey Midoriya, do you and Bakugo have a love-hate relationship? With the way he tried to come at you, he must be really into you." I said with a grin on my face.

The entire class started laughing at that remark. Midoriya looked at me with a deadpan eyes that said, "Seriously?"

"What did you just say, you yellow-haired bastard?" Said Bakugo with a creepy, angry voice.

"Let's move on with the test. If guys start a thing, you are going to get expelled." said Aizawa with a serious look on his face.

We went towards the first test. I did quick stretches and warm-ups before the race. My opponent was Tenya lida. As soon as Aizawa said "Start," lida burst out at full speed. I activated sage mode, causing black markings to start forming all over my body.

"Sage Mode: Flash Step."

"0.8 seconds, that's a record. I don't think anyone can beat that, that's the top scorer of the recommendation exams for you." Said Yayorozu. The entire class was staring at me now.

Other than my friends, it's the first time everyone else got to witness my quirk in action. The only one close to getting that score was Inasa with 2.6 seconds, which was still a major gap between the first and second.

As we moved through the other tests, I broke the grip measurement machine, and nailed the other tests with a large margin. The only one I didn't top was the ball throwing test. Even I couldn't beat infinity.

The results were:

1. Kuro Seji

2. Momo Yayorozu

3. Inasa Yoarashi

4. Izuku Midoriya

5. Shoto Todoroki

6. Katsuki Bakugo

"You beat me again," Said Momo, almost like she was proud of me.

"Hey, that was so manly of you." Chimed in Kirishima with a large grin.

"Tell us about your quirk," Called Hagakure.

"Why are pretty boys strong too?" said Mineta while bitting his shirt.

It's kinda weird how we have 22 students in the class. I initially thought 2 of our classmates were going to be out due to me and Inasa adding to the room. Must be plot.

Everyone started gathering around me. We quickly removed the awkwardness we all had before. We didn't know everyone well, but it's a good start. We all went home together and tried to get to know each other more. I texted my driver saying I will come by myself today. I am kind of rich, so yeah, I do have a driver.

The show hasn't even started. This is just the beginning. I have to be ready for everything the world throws at me.
