[color=B0B0B0]Everything was going to be different from now on.

He still couldn't quite believe it... Accepted into [i]the [/i]U.A. Academy, the most prestigious high school for heroics in all of Japan. A fate most of those gifted with a magical ability, a quirk most commonly called, could only dream of... And yet, it had never been a dream  for Mahiru. Not once in his life had he imagined himself to follow the road of becoming a professional hero, to take part in a culture he didn't always agree with. While their initial intentions aligned with his, to protect humanity and create peace in the world, Mahiru wasn't too fond of what the superhero culture had grown to be - a business filled with so-called 'heroes' who were only in it for the money or fame.

For years he longed for a world without these quirks, the cause for all chaos and inequality among humans, an irregularity that brought out the worst in them. Quirks weren't natural, they were never meant to exist, and never should have fallen into the hands of humans... Granting them such power only lead to more disaster.

It took until his thirteenth birthday that he began to to view the academy, the most talked about phenomenon in his hometown of Musutafu, in a different light. Rather, what it took for him to do so was the meeting with a pro hero. A young woman who helped him come to the realization that there was little point in moping for what could have been, and that he instead should focus on making the most of what he was given. With his own power, he too could make a difference by protecting those in need. Among the way he might even enlighten other heroes with his philosophy, and perhaps one day be influential enough to truly make the world a better place.

And so, more than a year of intensive self-taught training to get the most out of his quirk, led up to this moment. The entrance exam wasn't as bad as Mahiru expected it to be. It helped that his opponents were robots, man made creatures without soul. Enemies he could go all out on without feeling regret. While it was difficult for him to fight them head on with his quirk as bone wasn't much of a match against the gigantic metal machines, they were quite easy to outsmart. By staying inside of the robots' blind spots and using the environment wisely, Mahiru eventually managed to get to the hostage and kept them safe from harm until time ran out. It hadn't been the best performance out of all entrance exams, but his stealth was deemed good enough to pass.

Today was the first day at his new school. It had only been a 5-minute walk from home, yet he seemed to have been one of the last to arrive, the school grounds already bustling with students ready to start the new school year. It certainly was quite the sight to see such unique looking people all gathered here, some having animal features, while others were abnormally tall and muscular as a result of their quirks. There was even a robot among them, chatting with a couple girls that must have been about his age. Clutching onto the strap of his school bag, Mahiru walked down the path towards the school's entrance, taking in everything in sight.
