At 8:55, at the gate of U.A. High School.
"Shoto-chan, it's almost time, you know?"
Yaoyorozu Momo looked at the time and expressed some concern to Todoroki Shoto.
"It's okay, why don't you go in first, Yaoyorozu? I'll wait another five minutes."
Yaoyorozu Momo, however, hesitated unusually. Even though they were daughters of prestigious families, the recommendation student assessment test of U.A. High School was also a very important event in life, especially since both of them aspired to become heroes.
This was a test that could not tolerate any mistakes, but Todoroki was one of her few good friends, and they had also agreed to cheer each other on in the same school. Since Todoroki-chan wanted to wait a little longer, she would indulge her. After all, they could barely make it in time. If she insisted later, she would just forcibly pull her.
Helping a friend in times of confusion is also the creed of the prestigious Yaoyorozu family.
In fact, Todoroki Shoto and Yaoyorozu Momo had been waiting here for nearly fifteen minutes.
Being a daughter of the prestigious Todoroki family and possessing the powerful Quirk "Half-Cold Half-Hot", who was she waiting for?
It could only be Accelerator, who had completely defeated her in chess, which she prided herself on, at Yaoyorozu's birthday party a few months ago.
The news that Accelerator had transferred to a public middle school and then won the U.A. High School recommendation quota from that middle school could not be hidden from her.
As for Accelerator, Todoroki Shoto disliked him from the bottom of her heart.
Regardless of his personality or his way of dealing with people, even his chess style always emphasized efficiency above all, without a trace of the aesthetic sense derived from chess.
To some extent, Endeavor and Accelerator are indeed very similar, especially in terms of dealing with people, although neither of them would admit it.
The gap in chess was too great, and she was completely defeated by Accelerator, with not many opportunities for revenge. But on the path of a hero, she had absolute confidence in her own Quirk. She had no intention of using the extension of Endeavor's Quirk, the fire Homura half-body. She planned to rely solely on the freezing half-body from her mother to cleanly defeat Accelerator in this exam.
To thoroughly prove to that person how deep his mistakes are, and let him feel the pain she has borne in regret, this is her will for revenge.
The test was about to begin, and Todoroki Shoto and Yaoyorozu did not wait for Accelerator.
"Yaoyorozu, let's go in. It seems that I have overestimated that person."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I've wasted a lot of your time."
"It's okay, we're good friends, aren't we?"
"There's no problem going in now. If Accelerator doesn't come, that's his problem. Don't overthink it, don't be too stubborn."
"Mm."
At this moment, Todoroki felt extremely disappointed and irrationally angry at Accelerator. She felt that a person who couldn't even respect time had no right to compete with her. This situation made her feel like she was using her full-strength fist to hit a soft cotton, completely unsatisfying.
This victory came too easily, it was too uninteresting, and even had a sense of undeserved victory.
What an inglorious victory.
I misjudged you, Accelerator.
Endeavor, you also have times when you misjudge.
In terms of respecting time, he is completely inferior to you, my foolish and hateful father.
The two entered the examination room, and a boy with a shaved head, who was also a recommended student, came over to them and wanted to say something to Todoroki Shoto.
"Hello, miss? Can we get to know each other?"
However, at this moment, Shoto was still immersed in the unpleasantness at the school gate.
She even had some difficulty understanding why she was so angry.
With her extremely bad mood and her usual coldness towards people, Todoroki didn't even have the patience to deal with the boy at this moment, and she bluntly rejected him.
"You're in the way, please move."
Seeing the boy with the shaved head turn pale, Yaoyorozu bowed to apologize for Shoto, and whispered.
"I'm sorry, my friend just had some unpleasant things happen to her."
"She's not usually like this, I apologize for her again."
The boy with the shaved head seemed to be very angry too, he just nodded at Yaoyorozu and walked away directly.
Afterwards, all the recommended students entered the classroom one after another and started the written exam.
The basic subjects (language, math, English, seven major subjects), the time limit is two hours, the time is very ample.
About an hour later, almost everyone had handed in their papers.
Voice Hero Present Mic announced the end of the note supplement, and told everyone what to do next with his full-volume, enthusiastic voice.
"OK! The written test for recommended admission is over!"
"The next test is practical skills, and finally the interview! Everyone, keep it up!"
"The practical skills test is conducted in groups of six."
"The test content is a 3Km marathon."
"Quirks are allowed!"
Only the first group (Todoroki Shoto's group, her number plate is 23), Shoto took the lead, using multiple layers of ice for high-speed movement.
Everyone was exclaiming at her speed and the development and application of her Quirk, and the speed of another person in that group was not much slower than Shoto.
It was the boy with the shaved head who wanted to strike up a conversation with Shoto earlier.
The boy with the shaved head's Quirk is whirlwind, he is riding the gale and closely following behind Shoto, pursuing relentlessly.
In the end, the marathon ended with Todoroki Shoto's slight victory.
Seeing this result, Present Mic, who was responsible for recording the time, was somewhat surprised. The two people's results were three minutes faster than the average results of previous years.
"Wow! You're really amazing! This is the first time I've seen a girl who can surpass me in speed."
Hearing the way the boy with the shaved head spoke, Shoto was somewhat dissatisfied with his straight man's way of speaking, but she did not continue to show it, responding with silence.
"What's your name? Can you tell me?"
"You look like you're Endeavor's daughter, aren't you?"
This boy with the shaved head is even more annoying to Todoroki Shoto than Accelerator.
"Shut up, why can't a girl surpass you?"
"Why do you belittle the victory I achieved through hard work and training my Quirk?"
"Do I know you well? Why should I tell you my name?"
"Do you know it's rude to pry into personal relationships? It's just an exam, why all the unnecessary talk?"
She was already in a bad mood, and this flat-headed guy was causing trouble. She had no extra sympathy for this defeated opponent and his foolishness.
"I never considered you as an opponent, understand?"
"Hmph! Annoying!"
As she said this, the figure that appeared in Todoroki Shoto's mind was the person who mercilessly defeated her on the shogi board. Only someone like that would be worthy of being her acknowledged opponent.
At least Accelerator was much stronger than this guy who had neither strength nor manners, and didn't respect women. He was qualified.
Hmph, it's all his fault for not keeping time properly. Otherwise, she could be enjoying the double pleasure of cleanly and perfectly defeating him and proving that person's wrong way of life. Instead, she had to listen to the flat-headed man babbling annoyingly by her side.
