As Tamo and Izuku took their first steps into the prestigious UA High entrance, a sense of anticipation and determination filled the air. Izuku, with newfound confidence, walked confidently but then tripped and nearly fell flat on his face. To his surprise, he began floating in the air.
Startled and a bit embarrassed, Izuku turned to see a girl who had helped him. She had beautiful brown hair and bangs that framed her face, leaving Izuku momentarily speechless. "Oh, sorry, I saw you fall, so I thought it would be okay if I helped you up," the girl said with a friendly smile.
Izuku, his face turning slightly red, stammered, "T-Thank you."
Tamo, who was watching with amusement, couldn't help but chuckle. He addressed the girl with a friendly tone, "Thank you for helping my little bro."
The girl waved it off with a smile, saying, "It's no problem, really." She looked at Izuku, her expression softening. "So, you two are doing the hero course exam too?"
Izuku replied, "No, I'm doing the support course exam. My brother is the one doing the hero exam."
"Aw, I was hoping you'd be in my class," the girl thought, but she continued with a friendly farewell. "Well, I'll see you two around," she said before walking into the school.
Tamo couldn't resist teasing his little brother. "Well, well, it seems my little bro already got a crush," he said, smirking.
Blushing profusely, Izuku stammered, "Let's just focus on our exams."
As they made their way inside the building, Tamo and Izuku separated to attend their respective exams. "Good luck on your exam, bro," Tamo called out to Izuku.
Izuku reciprocated, "Thanks, you too," and disappeared down a different hallway.
Tamo entered the auditorium, where a sea of students had already gathered, eagerly awaiting the UA exam to begin. As he found an empty seat, the charismatic radio hero, Present Mic, stepped onto the stage.
Present Mic, known for his flamboyance, greeted the examinees with his typical enthusiasm. "WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO MY LIVE SHOW! EVERYBODY SAY HEEEEY!" Despite the silence in the auditorium, Present Mic pressed on with his animated introduction.
"I'VE GOT SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE TOO, LISTENERS! ALL RIGHT, EXAMINEES...I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THE LOW-DOWN ON HOW THIS'LL GO DOWN! ARE YOU READY!?"
A pervasive awkwardness hung in the air as Present Mic's antics continued. Tamo couldn't help but cringe at the spectacle, wondering if this was the same hero his little brother admired so much. As he looked around, he spotted Bakugo, who was clearly searching for Izuku. Tamo couldn't help but scowl at the sight of the explosive blond.
"NOW PAY CLOSE ATTENTION, LISTENERS! WE'LL BE TESTING YOUR METTLE BY RUNNING A TEN MINUTE RUN AT OUR REPLICA CITY DISTRICT. THIS WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE PRESENTATION, SO YOU BETTER BE READY. ALSO, DON'T GET ANY IDEAS THAT YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH YOUR CLASSMATES FROM YOUR SCHOOL. WE HAVE PURPOSELY SPLIT YOU ALL INTO DIFFERENT GROUPS," Present Mic explained.
This revelation disappointed many examinees, realizing they would not be working alongside their classmates. The frustration was palpable, but Tamo and Bakugo were preoccupied with their rivalry.

"WELL, WE'LL BE PUTTING THREE TYPES OF 'VILLAINS' ALL OVER THE BATTLEFIELD. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY, AND THE POINTS YOU'LL GET WILL DEPEND ON HOW MANY 'VILLAINS' YOU CAN BEAT," Present Mic elaborated.
An inquisitive student questioned this, pointing out a discrepancy with the number of "villains" listed on the handout. Present Mic clarified that the fourth "villain" was worth zero points, serving merely as an obstacle.
With the questions resolved, the exam got underway. As the examinees were divided into groups and set loose on the replica city district, chaos ensued. "AND START!!" Present Mic's shout echoed through the auditorium, prompting a frenzied scramble to the city grounds.
Tamo activated One For All and, with blinding speed, plowed through a group of robots, obliterating them with a powerful roundhouse kick. An enthusiastic student approached Tamo "Yo that was super cool man, how about you and me team up and rack up even more points?" He offered, Tamo was taken aback by this sudden offer and couldn't come up with a response in time so the student said before Tamo could respond "Eeh nevermind" he said as he rushed off and fought more robots.
The exam was in full swing. A girl summoned a bow of light, showering a rain of arrows on the robots, while a male student used his quirk to send a manhole cover soaring through multiple robots. Another girl swung through the city with web-like strands, immobilizing and dispatching the robots with ease. Meanwhile, Tamo tirelessly racked up points by pummeling wave after wave of robots.
In a screening room, pro heroes observed the exam with great interest. One of the heroes commented on the diverse skills and abilities on display, noting that the exam revealed the students' true talents and qualities.
The exam took a sudden turn when a colossal robot, referred to as the Zero Point Robot, was released onto the battlefield. Panic ensued as the examinees realized the enormity of the threat. The massive machine's rampage had begun.
Tamo, acknowledging the danger, sprinted away, trying to find a safer location. However, he soon heard a cry of pain behind him. Turning around, he spotted the girl who had helped Izuku earlier, trapped under rubble.
Despite the impending threat of the Zero Point Robot, Tamo hesitated only briefly before deciding to intervene. His sense of duty drove him to return to rescue the girl. However, the colossal robot stood between them, making the rescue attempt far more dangerous.
Tamo knew he had to take down the giant robot to reach the girl. He concentrated One For All in his feet and launched himself into the air, meeting the robot face to face. "EAT THIS, YOU DAMN MACHINE!" Tamo yelled as he cocked back his arm and unleashed a powerful punch, resulting in a tremendous "SMASH!" The robot's head was obliterated.
The pro heroes, watching from afar, were left in awe of the self-sacrificing spirit displayed by Tamo. All Might, among the observers, couldn't help but smile at the heroic action he had witnessed.
Tamo, victorious but injured, began to fall. The girl, summoning her quirk, allowed him to float for a moment, breaking his fall. "T-thank you," Tamo said, catching his breath.
The girl smiled and replied, "No, thank you for saving me." she said As she used her quirk to help Tamo, she felt nauseous and began to throw up.
The exam came to an end as Present Mic announced its conclusion. Tamo, exhausted but satisfied, was determined to check on his brother. "THE EXAM IS OVER!!!" Present Mic yelled, and the examinees slowly made their way out. An old lady walks up to Tamo "I see you got hurt young man" Tamo looked up at the old lady "It seems you got hurt badly here let me help you" she said as he gave him a kiss on his arm and it starts to heal because of her quirk "there you go good as new" she said "Your recovery girl" Tamo said as he points at her "Yup young man I am. now go get some rest" She responded as she walked away helping more students.
As a week passed, Tamo and Izuku sat in their living room, anxiously awaiting their acceptance letters from UA. Toshinori arrived home, a little fatigued from recording videos, and handed them two envelopes.
Toshinori, a warm smile on his face, greeted them, "I'm home. Good, you're both here. Man, I'm sleepy. They had me recording so many videos."
He pulled out two envelopes and handed them to Tamo and Izuku, not realizing the life-changing news they held.
