Chereads / The Silver-Eyed Hero / Chapter 3 - UA' entrance exam

Chapter 3 - UA' entrance exam

~POV: Akira Uchiha~

I wake up in a Hotel bedroom I rent in Mustafa. I already packed my belongings in my bag with a few storage scrolls in it. These scrolls are made of chakra Friendly paper I made from regular paper. Using Yang release to modify the paper itself, I was able to turn regular paper into one I could use for my techniques. It took me 2 years to perfect these techniques, and I'm proud of it because of how difficult it actually is even with my chakra reserve and talent.

I'm currently fifteen years old with dark-red hair. My body has grown considerably, being at 5.9ft (1.8 meters) tall with build and yet toned muscles worked on for years with strength and endurance training, dark-brown eyes and a well-defined oval face.

Today is a big the day. I jump out of the bed, to prepare myself. Leaving the hotel, I took out my smartphone. On the screen is an article from 10 mounts ago about two boys my age involved with some slime villain who was taken care of by the Number one hero, All Might.

This brings a smile to my face. Seeing that the OFA finally found its latest successor to date is reassuring, I would like to see what else would be similar to the original story. Thirty minutes later, I arrive in front of UA campus.

'It is… huge, I mean really, HUGE, it's clearly different seeing it in front of you instead of drawings and screens. This place is truly out of the norm. I wonder how they can fit this in the outskirts of Musutafu.'

The candidates for the entrance exam are heading toward the amphitheater, where the exam's rules will be explained. After taking my seat and listening to the explanation of this damn loud and cringe dude who embarrassed himself on his "live". We walk toward the different zones of exams. After arriving at the entrance of the exam zone, I look at my fellow students. I recognize some faces here. There's Ida discussing something with Midoriya, Uraraka trying to calm herself, AFO's spy Aoyama and if my memories serve me right, his name is Shoji, I think?

I turn my head toward Midoriya, finishing his discussion with Ida. Feeling my gaze, he looked at me in the eye. Seemingly frightened a little. A small smile appeared on my lips while trying to reassure him, he still seems uncomfortable but much better than previously.

~POV: 3rd person~

At the start signal, every candidate runs toward the huge artificial city. Akira and Ida left every other candidates behind. Surprise is apparent on Ida's face, since he did not expect someone else to keep up with him in pure speed.

Izuku Midoriya, being the last one to depart, is panicking. Searching desperately for robots to destroy. Running around until 6 min are left, he found none left to take care off. On the other side of the city, Akira is destroying robots rather easily, too easily even, the 3Ps one after the other like trash. Still, Akira does not want to reveal his cards and is using only Taijutsu and Chakra Enhancement Jutsu to literally run over the robots. Still, I need to be careful not to destroy too much of them so that his potential future classmates prove themselves deserving to be in UA's heroic branch.

'65 points already? In addition to saving points, the first place is mostly a guarantee. Just need to make sure not to get too much attention.'

Little did he know that it was already too late for that

~POV: Teachers' watch-room~

"The level of this batch is really high compared to previous years."

"That seems to be the case, but we can't be sure about it, they may be strong, but we need to make sure not to watch such potentials waste their lives drunk on pride."

"It seems like it will be hard on us this year."

In the watch-room. UA teachers monitor the candidates and their scores through the giant screen installed in the large room. Toshinori Yagi, number one hero in Japan alias All Might and Nezu, principal of UA, stare intently. Several students caught the attention of the mouse-dog-bear, whatever he is, principal.

"It seems that we have fascinating ones in this year. Some try to understand the situation, some intervene as fast as possible, some just go head first and some are so calm and composed they simply are enigmas."

He said while looking at Shoji, Ida, Bakugo and Uchiha in turn.

All Might is still looking warily at his successor, who did not score any point since the beginning of the test.

"Your successor seems to be in a tight spot Toshinori-kun, should we help him a little?"

"No, it would not be necessary I trust him."

"I see. I would like you to share your thoughts about this young man."

Nezu gave All Might the Uchiha's files. He read it for about ten seconds after observing him on the monitor.

"He is an odd one, to say the least. It seems like he possesses two quirks which are already extremely rare, but the descriptions are too vague. Eye power? Mysterious energy? I don't know how it is linked to his superhuman speed and strength. Unless…"

"We have no proof that he may be a spy or that this man is still alive. The only thing we know about him is that he grew up in an orphanage for recruitment purposes. Despite his grades and strength, he chooses not to be employed by rich business owners and come to take UA's exam."

All Might turned toward Nezu

"I think we should talk to him in private after the exam and make things clear."

"It seems that our thoughts aligned."

While saying this, Nezu pressed a red button in front of him.

And just like that, Akira is granted an interog… Interview with two of Japan's most well-known people.

~POV: Akira~

"Acho!"

I sneeze for some reason.

'Strange, since I have a Perfect Sage Body, I'm immune to most sickness and poisons. Is someone talking about me somewhere? I've got this weird feeling… not that it's important right now. The spectacle starts… Now'.

Rumble…rumble…

The earth begins to rumble like an earthquake was about to take place.

BOOOOM…

A massive robot about Fifty meters (164 ft (ca. 50 meters)) height popped out of the ground, destroying everything in its path. I jump from my position. Moving from roof to roof and arriving at a safe location. It's time to admire the spectacle. Although it's not as tall as Perfect Susanoo, it is still impressive to build a moving body of this size.

'This scene would improve with popcorn, too bad I can't eat during the exam.'

I waited for about 10 seconds, then a small figure appeared in the sky, his legs were clearly bending in odd directions along with the wind.

SMAAAAAAASH!!!!!

BOOOOOM

A direct hit on the robot's head. The 0P falls backward and an impressive dent on its face can be clearly seen.

'I wanted to see OFA's power for myself, since seeing the anime and witnessing physically are entirely different things… but… yeah, even with my level I'd like to avoid a direct hit from that. Even at only a 70% it is enough to obliterate Susanoo's first stage and still deal heavy damage. Well, Susanoo's defense and offense depends heavily on the user's mastery and base power. The same applies to OFA, so no absolute conclusions.'

Looking at the falling figure, you may wonder how someone like this aspire to be the Symbol of peace in all Might's place.

'And why is he yelling "Smash" it will give away his relationship with All Might. Even in the manga, they only discovered it after he sent them a letter when it was actually clear.'

While admiring OFA's power, the sirens announcing the exam's end ring. I move toward the wounded green-haired boy. Arriving at my destination, candidates can be seen gathered around Midoriya. Mocking him for his recklessness.

'It would be inconvenient if he ended up crippled with long therm complications due to repeated injuries caused by his power.'

Approaching all Might's successor, I crouch next to him and perform Mystical palm Jutsus infused with a tiny amount of my vitality. My Sage body constantly replenishes my vitality, pretty much like Hashirama, and makes techniques using vitality harmless to me eventually.

'I need to be careful with my vitality, since my cells seem more potent than Hashirama's and can be dangerous for others. It's probably the result of mixing three powerful bloodlines in a single body.'

I would rather not see somebody's body destroyed from excess of vitality, after all.

While having those useless thoughts, Recovery girl calls out to me.

"Oya? You have the makings of a healer, young man."

She says with expectant eyes. Healing quirks of any sorts are extremely rare, after all.

"Too bad, I aspire to be a hero on the field. I can still help in the infirmary if needed. This is only light treatment to lighten the burden of your quirk."

"I appreciate the offer, young man, but it still needs to be discussed with the principal."

I understand that very well. After the exam, I returned to my hotel room. I took a relaxing bath and meal before dozing off to sleep.
