I had finally turned fifteen and was ready to enter UA. My grandfather was currently taking me to the recommendation exam, even though I told him I wanted to take the regular exam.
“I still don't know why you are taking me here, I already said that I wasn't going to take this exam.” I complained for the umpteenth time.
“I want you to meet all of the teachers and heroes that attend the exam. It’ll be good for you to make a good impression.”
“Why are we even going there if I’m not participating in the exams?”
“You’ll see.” he said to me with a shit-eating grin on his face. I narrowed my eyes and asked, “I’m not going to be participating, right?”
“Well not in all the exams.”
“Of course. I’m not even ready for this. I’m wearing a suit for goodness sake.”
“You complain too much. You’ll be fine. It's not like the suit will restrict you much anyway.”
I didn't say anything else and just grumbled under my breath. He does this all the time, he loves showing off everything his grandchildren do. It's just one of the ways that he shows his love. He never forces us to pursue anything we don't want to, but if we have a dream he will do everything he can to help us succeed. I'm sure he's talked to the school and bragged all about me and how powerful I am. It's not that he's wrong either. I’ve been training with some of the best trainers in Japan since I was two. At just 15 years old I was already 5’11” with a build like Superman. I had trained hard the past few years and made sure to have a body that could handle my quirk. I'm sure that once I am fully mature I’ll look like All Might and Endeavor, but for now, it's perfect.

We had finally pulled up to UA for the exam and all I can say is wow. This place looks nothing like a school and more like a fancy office from a big city. While I was admiring the school, my grandfather led me into the observation area to introduce me to the faculty.
“Ah, Mr. Yoshimura a pleasure to have you here. I assume the young man beside you is the grandson you’ve told us about?” the question came from a short man who appears to be a possible combination of several different animals, including a dog, a mouse, and a bear.
“Principal Nezu, nice to meet you again old friend, and yes this strapping lad here is my grandson Sen.”
“Hello Principal Nezu, it's nice to meet you.”
“It’s always nice to meet a young man who wants to become a hero, and if half of what Yoshimura has told me then I'm sure that you will make a great addition to this school.”
“Well, he does tend to exaggerate,” “Wha-” “but I assure you that I have trained hard to earn a place here.”
“As have all the other students. Since you’re here why don't you join the race that will start in a few minutes to see how hard you have trained.
“Of course sir.” and as I was leaving I saw that stupid grin on my grandpa’s face again, like he knew that this was going to happen. Honestly, it seems like it was planned by Nezu and gramps to get me to participate even though I wasn’t going to be a recommendation student.
