A new hope

I yawn as I walk down the stairs to get breakfast ready, but I could already smell something burning. "You're going to burn it Kanao! Let me do it!" Aoi demanded. "N-no! I can do this by myself! I want to make breakfast for Shinobu!" Kanao cried out. Shinobu is the nickname all of my sisters gave me. Its means Endurance and once when I was younger, I couldn't open a can of green beans, so I kept trying for almost an hour my mother said. Eventually my father felt bad and opened it for me. "What are you two arguing about?" I raised an eyebrow. Aoi and Kanao freeze and slowly turn their heads towards me. "N-nothing Shinobu! Just uh making breakfast!" Aoi lied. "Why though? I usually make breakfast for everyone." I cross my arms and lean against the kitchen doorway. "We were making you a special breakfast before you go to the U.A. exam..." Kanao avoided eye contact with me, looking ashamed for lying. My eyes widen and I smile gently at them both. "How sweet. Let's dig in, shall we?" I suggest.
After I eat my 'delightful' breakfast I grab my duffle bag and head off to the U.A. exams. "Good luck big sister!" Kiyo shouts. "We'll be cheering for you!" Sumi adds. Kanao, Aoi and Naho wave me off. I wave back and then head to the bus stop. After about a 25-minute drive the bus driver shouts "NEXT STOP! U.A. HIGH SCHOOL!" I lift up my head from my phone and smile brightly. I get off the bus and look up to see U.A. high school. *Wow...it's huge. And I get to come here in a couple weeks after this exam. * I smirk and walk into the building. There are at least 200 students in this big auditorium from what I just counted. But there may be more...who knows. I see at the center podium, Present Mic the sound hero! He's cool and all but he's too loud at sometimes. "CAN I GET A HEY!?!?" He screams. Dead silence. He explains the rules of the practical exam.
A boy with dark blue hair and glasses stands up and starts to ramble with his question. "And you! The Green freckled boy! Stop mumbling! It's distracting me!" He yells at the boy on right. "Huh!? Oh sorry! I d-didn't mean to!" He embarrassingly apologizes. I try my best to not laugh out loud, but I let a little snicker slip out.
*I'll have to be quick and agile about getting some points if I want a high score.* I try to make a plan inside my head on the way to the different exam settings. Suddenly I bump into a random person. "Oh, pardon me! I didn't see you-" I try to apologize but I was RUDELY cut off by a spiky blonde. "Watch where you're going next time ya damn midget!" He snarled at me. I gave him an angry smile and pushed past him. "EH!? GET BACK HERE YOU SHITTY ASS SHORTIE!!" He pointed at me from behind and yelled but I ignored him. I walked to my exam area quickly as I can.
As I stretch my muscles I look around at the other contestants. Most of them are guys. *Makes sense. Not a lot of girls want to be heroes unlike me. * I smile to myself. I hold my sword in its place and take a deep breath to calm my nerves. Suddenly a horn blares. "THIS IS THE BIG TIME!! GO YOU LITTLE DEVILS GO!!" Present Mic screams through the microphone. We all rush through the gates to start our physical part of the exam. As I enter through the gates a 2-point robot appears. I take out my sword out of its Saya and strike.
Dance of the Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag.
I hit the robot quickly in multiple places and stop once I strike the center, I know I have killed the prey. Then I land on the ground as the robot malfunctions and shuts down. *I can easy ace this test if I put my best effort forward.* I think to myself and smile. I pick up the pace and head to destroy some robots.
After I have collected 53 points, I stop to take a breather. Out of nowhere a GIANT zero pointer appears! I start to run away with the rest of the examinees, but I stop. I turn around and hear a dark purpled hair girl with plugs coming out her ears, cry for help. I see that she's stuck under one of the damaged robots. I run toward the zero pointer and thrust my sword out to attack.
Dance of the Bee Sting: True Flutter
I lift the girl up from under the rubble and carry her on my back. We make it out of the gate and turn back to see the robot fell forward on all of the buildings. I hand the girl over to the school's first aid specialist's. "Thanks..." She coughs. I nod and smile at her. At least I can go home with my head up and proud of what I did today....
