Personality Test

With a tremendous crash, a green mechanical object suddenly burst out of a nearby building and slammed viciously into her.

Crack—

Her right shoulder made a cracking sound. Her delicate body rolled twice across the ground before crashing into a stone bollard.

"Watch out!"

Izuku Midoriya's voice came from behind her.

"Pfft."

Su Lin spat out blood and raised his head again, only to find that the target which had hit him had already been blasted apart by a beam from afar.

Su Lin took a deep breath and moved his limbs, relieved that nothing had broken. His right sleeve had been torn, and there was a rip in his stockings as well, leaving him rather uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Izuku Midoriya rushed over in a few strides and grabbed hold of him.

"Cough." Su Lin spat out blood and stared at him speechlessly. "Go fight. Don't worry about me."

"But you..."

"I have self-healing abilities." Su Lin raised his injured hand.

Midoriya looked at him worriedly for several seconds. Seeing that the wound really was healing quickly, he gritted his teeth, got up, and ran into the distance.

"Saber!"

At the center of the Exam Venue, Mysterious Heroine X kicked apart the three-point Fake Enemy before her, then used the recoil to shoot dozens of meters away.

The dazzling sword swept up a flash of cold light and sliced through another robot's neck. But the next moment, she dismissed that avatar, causing it to vanish from the spot.

There was no helping it. An avatar could only last five minutes. When there were few enemies nearby, it was better to dismiss his Quirk on the spot and let Yukino search for targets, saving time.

"That child."

A female teacher sitting in the monitoring room noticed X-Hair on one of the split screens and could not help speaking up.

"She's truly impressive. It seems this year has produced several outstanding prospects." The Principal, who looked like a white mouse, nodded and praised her efforts.

"Wait, look over there..."

The female teacher suddenly pointed at the screen on the left. Yukino, looking somewhat bedraggled, was limping forward on it.

"She's injured. Who is she?"

"This child?" The Principal thought for a moment before explaining, "She and that sword-wielding girl are both avatars of the same person."

"The same person?" The female teacher froze.

"So it's him. I remember now." A male teacher beside her spoke solemnly. "There was a murder case two months ago. A girl used her body to block a crazed criminal and saved two children, but she was stabbed more than thirty times and nearly died. When the police took her to the hospital afterward, her body had already healed itself, and that was when they learned she had a healing-related Quirk. If I'm not mistaken, this girl should be the one who appeared in the news two months ago."

The other teachers stared at the girl in shock.

"I never expected this child to have such a past. Only someone with the character to sacrifice herself to save others deserves to be called a hero." All Might wiped away a cold sweat. "If I hadn't known his information, I would have thought he was a girl."

"Wait, this guy is a boy?" The young female teacher's eyes widened in astonishment.

"That's right. His Quirk can create female avatars."

"Oh... oh no. I thought the registration information was incorrect, so I changed him to female without permission." The teacher covered her mouth in panic, leaving everyone present speechless.

"Forget it. What comes next is when their true worth will be shown." After nearly half a minute of silence, a teacher pressed the red button beside him.

Rumble!

The next moment, the venue shook as though the earth itself were quaking. A giant, enlarged Fake Enemy dozens of stories tall slowly emerged amid billowing dust.

Zero Pointer, activated.

"This... is way too huge, isn't it?"

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Su Lin was still dumbfounded when such a colossal creature appeared before his eyes.

It was as though Godzilla had appeared in the city. Its enormous mechanical arm grabbed a building and gave it a light squeeze, crushing several floors to pieces. Heavy chunks of stone rained down from above and smashed into the ground, enough to flatten someone into paste.

After pausing for several seconds, the machine suddenly punched the ground. A terrifying blast of air immediately swept rolling clouds of dust in every direction.

"Run! Run! There's no way we can beat that monster!"

"Damn it, we have to get out of here!"

The examinees no longer had the time to care about anything else and decided to avoid this meaningless target.

Izuku Midoriya fell to the ground in terror, his eyes filled with tears.

Farther away, Ochaco Uraraka's legs had been pinned beneath a fallen building, and she struggled painfully on the ground.

"Two minutes remaining."

Mic's voice carried down from above to the various examination zones.

"So... it's about to end."

Su Lin looked toward Izuku Midoriya, wanting to see whether he would rush over to save the trapped girl just like in the Original Work.

Sure enough, the next second, while everyone else was busy fleeing, that unremarkable figure charged forward and shot into the sky in an instant under ONE.FOR.ALL's immense power.

"Smash!"

He shouted those words in his heart.

Boom!

The machine's head shattered under the astonishing force, and its huge body toppled to the ground. Due to ONE.FOR.ALL's backlash, Midoriya's legs and right arm were crippled as well.

He fell from the sky.

Perhaps because of the Butterfly Effect, Ochaco Uraraka was a little farther away and clearly could not reach him in time.

With no other choice, Su Lin sent a gust of wind upward, slowing Midoriya's descent.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Su Lin jumped up and caught him.

Then he landed on the ground.

Toss~

Midoriya was promptly thrown onto the ground.

PS: This should have been faster by now, but my fever has been pretty high these past two days. I've been dizzy and in terrible condition. This is probably my only high fever in three years. (:∠)

Quirk Aptitude Test

As the signal announcing the end of the exam sounded, poor Izuku Midoriya finally fainted in utter despair.

Amid the hushed discussions around them, an elderly woman's voice drifted over from nearby. "All right, everyone, thanks for the effort... thanks, thanks for the effort!"

She slowly pulled several colorful candies from her person and handed them to a student. "Here, here, these are gummies. Come have some gummies."

"Thank you..." The boy accepted them awkwardly.

"Come on, you too." The old woman smiled and toddled toward the next person.

The blond Yuga Aoyama pointed at the elderly woman and introduced her confidently. "That lady is U.A.'s pillar."

Under everyone's curious gazes, the elderly woman came over to Izuku Midoriya. "My, my, you actually injured yourself this badly with your own Quirk."

After saying that, her lips suddenly stretched out and extended forward at a slow pace, then went biu as they kissed Izuku Midoriya on the head.

"Huh?" Everyone froze instantly.

"What's going on?"

"She is U.A. High School's nurse teacher, the youthful heroine Recovery Girl. Her Quirk supercharges self-healing abilities. The reason U.A. dares to hold such a reckless entrance exam seems to be largely because she is here."

As the explanation continued, Izuku Midoriya's twisted legs and arm gradually recovered, while the injuries caused by ONE.FOR.ALL's backlash swiftly vanished as well.

"'Youthful maiden,' seriously?"

X-Hair, who had been listening nearby, twitched her mouth as she looked at the white-haired old woman.

"Hurry up. Are there any other injured children?"

Having healed Midoriya, the old woman's gaze drifted around again, and then she spotted Yukino leaning against a distant wall.

"My, my, there's another pretty little girl over there."

The old woman's lips puckered expectantly as she walked toward her.

"Uh, it's fine, I'm not hurt." Yukino waved her hands repeatedly in fright.

"It's fine, it's fine. You should have a kiss too... biu!"

The entrance exam ended as scheduled. A week later, Su Lin received his acceptance notice as he had hoped. With 65 combat points and 15 Special Rescue Points, he entered U.A. as the top-ranked applicant.

Izuku Midoriya also received 60 Special Rescue Points for saving Ochaco Uraraka.

They were both assigned to U.A.'s Class A.

The first day of school arrived in the blink of an eye. Early that morning, Su Lin came to the classroom in his usual state of mind.

"Huh, it looks like everyone's here. Still twenty people."

Su Lin roughly counted the seats and confirmed the number.

But he quickly froze in place.

Is one person missing?

There had originally been twenty people in the Original Work, and the number had not changed now. That meant he had taken the place of one student, which also meant that person had permanently lost the chance to enter Class A, or even attend U.A.

That was practically ruining someone's future.

"This is..." Izuku Midoriya, seated at his desk, was somewhat stunned when he saw Su Lin appear before everyone in the form of a boy.

He had even gone out of his way to ask All Might what had happened to the girl who trained at Seaside Park every day. He had learned that she had also entered U.A. and been assigned to the same class as him.

But now... the last person to arrive was actually a boy.

"Hey, are you done talking?"

Just as the class was still engaged in all kinds of discussions, an utterly listless voice suddenly came from behind Su Lin, outside the doorway.

"?"

Su Lin turned around and discovered a guy curled up inside a sleeping bag, lying on the floor like a yellow caterpillar.

"At last, it's quiet. Time is limited, and you people seriously lack rationality." With drooping eyelids and the look of someone who had not woken up, he slowly stood and stepped out of the sleeping bag. Then he shifted his gaze to the entire class. "I'm your Homeroom Teacher, Shota Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."

"Homeroom Teacher?" The students were astonished.

"Don't waste time. Put these on and come to the field." Mr. Aizawa took a gym uniform from his sleeping bag, then left the school building first.

The students looked at each other, but could only obey the teacher's orders and follow him to the field.

"Su Lin-chan, let's follow them too."

In the brief silence, Torhu Hagakure walked over, shook Su Lin's shoulder, and called out to him affectionately.

"Huh, the way she addressed me changed?"

It seemed Torhu Hagakure really considered Su Lin a very close friend.

But speaking of which, people with all sorts of Quirks in this world looked incredibly strange. Wouldn't they feel uncomfortable after getting married? Take Fumikage Tokoyami, for example. His head was clearly that of a crow, right? With that long, sharp beak, wouldn't he stab his wife to death when kissing her?

Or Torhu Hagakure. Even hugging her would feel like hugging air, wouldn't it? Would people have to imagine what she looked like?

Those were still relatively normal. What about slime monsters, tentacle monsters, or all sorts of bizarre animals like seals and snails? Was it really okay to find a wife or husband like that?

Wouldn't that be a little too stimulating? This was a question that left Su Lin deep in thought.

Pulled along by Torhu Hagakure, Su Lin headed to the field with the others. The students soon stood in neat rows before Mr. Aizawa.

"First, we'll be conducting the Quirk Aptitude Test."
