Joint post between AyeYoWorm & Krewsial

Gale's parents were already reluctant to let him become a hero and after the events of the first entrance  exam, they were even more apprehensive. Gale defended the exam and the school stating how quick the staff and second year students were able to efficiently subdue the situation. He said that if heroes aren't able to overcome things of that nature, then a lot of people could have been severely hurt. they let him continue to purse his dream. He returned to U.A. the following day prepared to take the written portion of the exam. Just like the physcial examination, he wasn't sure what to expect.

The students were seperated into different classrooms. From what he could tell, there were roughly twenty prospective students in the room with him. He recognized a couple of them from the first day test. A teacher handed him his test. Gale exhaled louder than he wanted to. There were a mix of personality questions, true or false questions, multiple choice questions on the history of heroas.

'Crap.' He thought to himself. 'I don't know any of this.' What made him feel worse about the whole test was that he was sure about several items. But the rest of the test might as well have been written in Greek. He tapped his foot nervously. His aniexty was getting the best of him. His shadow danced underneath his desk wildly.

still in his meditative state Andrew trying to gain positive control of the power of darkness. While training he feels a presence.

Andrew: What’s this strange but familiar sensation. It’s like my power but from when I was a child.

Andrew proceeds to use the ability shadow link which allows him to link to anyone he has a emotional connection with along with anyone with anyone who has some form of the darkness manipulation quirk. That took him to the mind of who he believed to be the young man from the UA entrance exam.

Gale's shadow slowly calmed down and returned to its normal state. He felt something. It was as of there was a person standing behind him looking over his shoulder. It was difficult for him to put it into words but someone was with him at this moment; someone was in his head.

"Hello." He thought to himself.

Andrew: ............so you we’re the one at the exam I saw on tv. So we share a common quirk more or less. Interesting.

Andrew walked around in the the dark space of Gale’s mind.

Andrew: So you’re taking the written exam and you’re struggling huh? I felt your shadow trembling all the way from the US fam. And then raise the questions you have.
How are we talking in your mind?
How can we understand each other?
You don’t know fluent English and me Japanese.
How did I feel your shadow trembling?
Stop me when I’m wrong.

Gale couldn't show himself freaking out in the middle of the exam. He dropped his head to the desktop hide the emotions written all over his face.

"Umm... how... what... is going on?"

Andrew: Gale. That is your name right? I’m Andrew in uniform I go by Noir. Im a hero in training in America. My quirk shadow manipulation lets me use my shadow to do a lot of things. When I meditate I enter the shadow world. When I train my mind to control my full power. While I was doing that I felt you shadow powers going crazy over stress. So do you understand now? Cause you don’t have a lot of time left.

"Yeah. I'm Gale."

The shadow world is what allowed Gale to use his Shadow Step quirk. He let his mind wonder to the other possibilities of his Quirk.

"Alright. So you'll help me?"

Andrew: .......Yes I will help you but I need you to make me a promise. One day we’ll meet in person and when that happens I want to fight you to see if you’re worthy of my time. Do you accept?

Gale hesitated for a moment. He was not much of a fighter. But he couldn't miss the opportunity to meet someone who could use shadows at a higher level than himself. The idea made him excited.

"Deal."
Gale hid in the shadows of the buildings trying to avoid the crazed students attacking each other. The downside to his quirk was that the longer he stayed in the shadows the longer it took his eyes to adjust to the light. Given the situation he would have to take that risk. Diving from shadow to shadow, he eventually found an area away from the students. He emerged from the shadows stepping into the blinding light. It made his eyes burn. He knelt down and rubbed his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a noise. It was mechanical. He then remembered the actual test. His vision was still blurry so he couldn't properly see the robot but he could see the shadow it created. Not wasting time, Gale stood up and ran towards the robot. With his vision disrupted, he could still see the robots fist swing towards him. He ducked underneath the blow and slid into the shadow disappearing under the robot. He emerged behind the robot only to find another standing behind that one. That robot swung at Gale. He dropped into the shadow and caused the two robots to destory each other.

He came up from the wreckage and let out a deep breath.

"Nice." He said. Just then, several more robots converged on his position. Some looked different from others, but they all moved with a similar pattern with the same goal. He smiled. 'Too easy.' He thought to himself. He stood still until the last possible moment then dipped into the shadow of the closet robot.
He dove through the shadows of the robots causing them to destory each other. The whole deal last about 2 mintues. And when it was all said and done, he sat atop the wreckage of the destoryed robots.
Gale waved farewell to Alexa. He made his way to the registration table fighting through the wave of the crowd. 'So many people.' He thought to himself. The nervous butterflies made his stomach feel tight. Lost in thought, he bumped into someone. Quickly snapping back into reality, he turned his head to apologize.

"I'm so sorry." The words came out of his mouth before he got a good look at person he blindly ran into. The man he ran into was easily six feet tall towering over him.

"It's alright." The man said reaching down to grab something off the floor.

Gale followed the man's motions. He picked up a picture. It was of Gale and his brother, Bruce, on Gale's 8th birthday. It must have been in the jacket pocket the whole time. The man stared at the picture as if he was studying and dissecting it.

"Excuse me sir," Gale said, "that's mine."

"Oh," he said with his concentration now broken, "My bad. Here you go."

"No. Thank you. If you hadn't picked it up, I wouldn't have known I dropped it." Gale responded taking the picture. It was the last photo he took with his brother before he died. A wave of sadness as well as motivation ran over him. The man must have read his emotions.

"He definitely loved you and hopes you succeed today." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card. "If you ever need therapy to help with your repressed memories or feelings, please don't hesitate to call me."

"Thanks. But I've dealt with this enough."

The man simply smiled and put the card in Gale's hand on top of the photo. "You may lie to yourself but you can't hide your emotions from me."
And with that, the man took off in another direction.

Gale finished the registration process and followed the other students down the hall into a giant arena. The room was built as a giant city. The registration form had instructions on what they were to do: destroy robot villains. Gale had never fought before and never used his quirk in an offensive manner. But he didn't really care. Whatever motivation he had prior to taking the test had subsided, almost as if it was never there to begin with.

Then something smashed into the side of his face. Gale stumbled and hit a wall. He face hurt terribly. He looked around for the assailant. To his surprise, it was another student. He took another look around and saw that the students were attacking each other. Gale was confused. There was nothing in the registration forms about students fighting each other. Turning his head back to his attacker, he saw him rushing again for another assault. Gale looked around and noticed that he was in the shadow of the building. He quickly took a breath and slipped into the ground avoiding another haymaker.
"Yeah. It's crazy to see you here too. I didn't think anyone from middle school would tryout for U.A."

It was nice to see a familiar face in the midst of the crowd of aspiring students. It helped calm his nerves. After their greeting, Gale took at look at her outfit. He fought the urge to laugh. She probably felt embrassed to wear the suit that probably her parents made for her.

"You're right. I see your suit has just about everything you need huh?" He said jokingly. He couldn't let her off the hook that easily. "I'll see you around."

He watched her walk away awkwardly then noticed a patch on the back of the suit saying "Grab This."

"What's the patch for?"
*Morning of Entrance Exam*

Gale wasn't able to sleep the night before. The anxiety he felt before the day of the entrance exam kept him awake virtually all night. However, with the Little sleep he did obtain, he felt extremely well rested. He went through his morning routine got dressed for school. Before he left his room, he grabbed his good luck jacket. He rushed downstairs and saw that his parents were already waiting for him in the dining room.

"Thought you would've been up ealier." His dad said jokingly.

The genuineness of that moment made Gale smile. "Still a growing boy. I need some type of sleep."

"Well, I don't know what kind of food they'll be serving there but I packed your lunch." His mother said.

She handed the small lunch box to Gale who took it greedily. His mother's lunches were always better than cafeteria food. She took a look at his attire. She smiled warmly.

"That jacket looks good on you."

Gale returned her smile. "Thanks. I think so too."

He hugged both of his parents before running out of the door. The walk to U.A. was pleasant. He noticed quite a few people walking in the same direction while others rode in cars with their parents. He would have liked his parents to walk with him on his first day but he didn't want to be too selfish. He knew they still felt apprehensive about letting him go to school to be a hero.

When he approached the gates to the school, he was in awe. It was much grander now that he was actually on its campus that it had been if was just passing by. He followed the wave of the crowd into the hall. Crowds of people made him uncomfortable and with the anxiety of the upcoming unknown exam it didn't help this feeling at all. He suddenly heard a name call out his relatively loud. He turned in the direction of the voice.

"Hey Alexa. Nice to see you made it."

Bio: Developed Quirk at the age of three playing hide and seek with his older brother, Bruce. Both of Gale's parents have quirks but neither aspired to become heroes. Bruce became a hero to make the world a safer place for Gale so he would not need to become a hero. When Gale was in the 7th grade, Bruce gave him his lucky jacket. The next day Bruce was killed saving civilians from a terrorist attack. The day after his funeral, Gale decided to become a hero to create the world his brother envisioned.
Gale sat in front of his computer in his room. He was scrolling through the U.A. website's message board for any news on the upcoming entrance test. It showed the same information as it did the day before. He sat back in his seat and stretched. He stared at the ceiling. His thoughts went to his brother. This was his first step in following his footsteps and realizing their shared dream.

"Gale!" His mother called from downstairs. "It's time for dinner!"

Gale rolled around in his seat and made his way downstairs. He entered the dining room to find his father bringing the food to the table. His mother was adding the finishing touches to another dish.

"I'll get the plates and stuff." Gale said to his father. He simply nodded. Gale came back with the plates and silverware and set them on the table. His mother came into the room with her self-proclaimed world famous chicken Alfredo. Everyone took their seats and bowed their heads to say a quick prayer.

Gale loved his mother's Alfredo. It always had the right amount of sauce with the prefect chicken to noodles ratio. Gale and his father joked about how she counted each noodle and piece of chicken before cooking. That's why it always took so long.

Dinner tonight was quiet. He knew why.

"Tomorrow is the big day huh?" He father spoke trying to sound cheerful.

'Here we go.' Gale forced himseld to smile. "Yeah. I'm looking forward to it."

"Has there been any news on the entrance exam?" His mother asked.

"Nothing new since yesterday. I guess we all find out tomorrow. I'm sure it's nothing but a paper test."

His father sighed. "Look. I know we signed the papers allowing you to test but are you sure this is something that you want to do?"

Gale sighed just as his father did. He set his fork on the table and kept his head down.

"Honey," his mother spoke, "we talked about this. We agreed we weren't going to bring this up again."

"I know, I know. But I want you to look me in the eyes Gale and tell me that this is something that YOU want."

Gale slowly lifted his head looking his father into his stern and worrisome Brown eyes. "Yes. I want to be a hero. And it's because of Bruce that I want to be one."

His mother and father reached for his hands grabbing them earnestly.

"We know. It's just that," she froze for a moment, "we couldn't stand to watch you die too. One son was enough."

"I want you to be sure that you aren't going into this without thinking fully of the consequences."

"I know what the consequences are. I buried him with you guys. And in that moment that being a hero wasn't a game. It was a life choice. But he still made it to make the world safe for us."

"Can't you leave that responsibility to someone else?"

"I can't. Because you two are my parents. And I want to make sure that nothing ever happens to you."

His parents rose from their seats and embraced their son and he embraced them back.

"Don't worry. I'll be a hero that you and Bruce won't have to worry about."
