Ever since 80% of the human population began starting to reveal of having all different types of super-abilities, "quirks" as their names, using these powers have become the center of life. People began becoming Heroes that fought for all that is good and just, or using their quirks to cause havoc and become Villains, while some simply remained neutral, but studied under Heroes to hone their abilities.
There was one place where every aspiring super-hero went to train and learn how to master their powers and become the best that they could be -- U.A High. It is a school where all kinds of graduating Junior High students that wish to hone their quirks go, and there they are taught each and every day in multiple departments - Heroics being the most popular, where students that wish to become Heroes are tested vigorously on what the day-in-the-life of real battling and saving lives is like. Everyone in this department has one goal...to obtain their Hero License, which they may test for in their third and final year to go on and officially gain the status, titles, and occupation of a true Hero. Until then, there are first year students who must focus and give it their all just to even get in the school...

It was insane. Everything about it, really. This was it - the time to prove yourself worthy of venturing on to your journey of becoming a Hero. The time to show yourself off to the Academy, and to see if you have what it takes to become a symbol of hope, peace, and protection within the city district. The "Entrance Exam" was a tough and rigorous both written and physical exam. An underweight, yet intelligent, pale blonde teen boy had managed to pass the written test along many other students trying to get into U.A Highschool, but now they stood in a large and empty replica of the city district, where several upon several types of large robots stood before them, ready to attack each of these students.
"Oh....my...god." Horu sighed, staring up to one of the tallest mechanical beasts before him. "T-This....is unbelievable!"
The point of the exam was to test not only the abilities, but also the character of each and every student in this portion. Some of the most respected heroes/professors of U.A High were sitting far off, watching each move the students made. The students were expected to battle these robots - the largest ones holding 3 points, medium sized ones holding 2, and the smallest holding 1. The Professors would tally up the student's respectable points depending on how many of each robots were taken down by an individual. They also gave points depending upon the actions of rescuing/aiding other students shown by another student.
Overall, it was a giant test to see who was fit to learn to become a Hero, and who cant. Those who dont score enough points, or start battles with other students are disqualified. And that terrified Horu. The countdown began, and once it hit zero, each of the uniquely talented students started off, running full speed ahead and beginning to strike, dodge, and evade the large villain-bots.
Horu managed to close his eyes and conjure up a long steel staff that emerged from both of his palms, forming into sharp ends on both sides - but since he didn't have any projectile attacks, he was heavily reliant on his close combat abilities this time around. He rushed forwards, slightly distracted by other students who happened to already be racking up points. He hoped he could keep up - he just had to pass. Attending U.A High and becoming an official Hero, like many of the other students, was his biggest dream so far.
