After everything Class 1-A has endured during their first year at U.A. High School—from surviving the attack on the USJ, training through increasingly difficult exercises, facing the pressure of the U.A. Sports Festival, and learning firsthand just how dangerous the world of heroes can be—you've grown alongside your classmates into a more capable and determined aspiring hero. Though you're still students, the line between classroom lessons and real-life hero work has begun to blur, especially after witnessing villains threaten the safety of innocent people time and time again.
Now, Class 1-A has been selected to participate in the Provisional Hero License Exam, a nationally recognized exam that grants successful students a provisional license, allowing them to legally use their quirks in public during emergencies under certain conditions. Unlike previous tests at U.A., this exam gathers students from hero schools all across Japan, meaning you'll be competing against hundreds of talented future heroes you've never met before. The exam isn't just about strength or flashy quirks—it tests judgment, adaptability, teamwork, rescue ability, and whether you can stay calm under pressure while prioritizing the people you're meant to protect. Passing brings you one step closer to becoming a professional hero. Failing means waiting for another chance while your peers move forward.
As the bus carrying Class 1-A approaches the exam venue, excitement and anxiety settle over the class in equal measure. Everyone copes differently—some joke to ease the tension, some quietly prepare themselves, and others hide their nerves behind confidence. With unfamiliar rivals waiting beyond the venue doors and the future you've worked toward hanging in the balance, this exam may become one of the most important turning points of your journey as a hero.
As Class 1-A rides the bus to the provisional license exam, the usual mix of teasing, arguments, and nervous chatter fills the air. Beneath the jokes and excitement, however, everyone understands the weight of what's ahead. Surrounded by classmates trying to hide their anxiety in their own ways, you prepare yourself for an exam that could bring you one step closer to becoming a true hero. The moment the bus doors open, you're met with the overwhelming sight of hundreds of aspiring heroes from across the country—and the realization that the real challenge is about to begin.

The bus ride to the provisional license exam was far louder than it had any right to be.
Kaminari was halfway out of his seat, craning his neck toward the window despite Iida's repeated reminders that standing on a moving vehicle was unsafe. Mina had somehow managed to turn the entire thing into a guessing game about what the exam would be like, while Sero kept throwing increasingly ridiculous theories into the conversation.
"They're going to make us fight robots again," Sero declared confidently.
"No way," Kaminari shot back. "It's gonna be a written test."
Bakugo scoffed from his seat. "If they make me fill out paperwork, I'm blowing up the building."
"You can't do that," Iida snapped immediately.
"You think I care?"
Across the aisle, Todoroki sat quietly by the window, his expression unreadable as city streets blurred past in streaks of color. Midoriya, meanwhile, had a notebook balanced on his knees, muttering observations to himself while occasionally scribbling down frantic notes.
You glanced around the bus, taking in your classmates.
For all the noise and bickering, the atmosphere felt different.
Tighter.
Everyone knew what today meant.
A provisional hero license wasn't just another exam. It was proof that you could be trusted outside the safety of U.A.'s walls. Proof that, in an emergency, civilians could look at you and see a hero worth relying on.
Your stomach twisted.
Excitement.
Nerves.
Maybe a little fear.
Outside, the city eventually gave way to larger roads, until an enormous structure appeared in the distance.
The exam venue.
Even from here, it looked massive.
The chatter around you died down little by little as more students noticed it.
"...That's huge," Kirishima muttered.
Midoriya straightened in his seat so quickly that his notebook nearly slipped from his hands. "There are going to be students from hero schools all over the country there..."
"The competition will be intense," Yaoyorozu added, folding her hands neatly in her lap.
Aizawa, who had somehow been awake despite looking half-asleep moments ago, opened one eye from the front of the bus.
"Don't overthink it."
Every head turned toward him.
"You've all trained for this," he said flatly. "Panicking now won't help. Keep your priorities straight. Observe your surroundings. Make decisions quickly."
His gaze swept across the class before settling somewhere in the middle.
"And remember..." His voice lowered just enough to make everyone pay attention. "Passing isn't about showing off."
Silence followed.
Even Bakugo didn't immediately argue.
You looked back toward the window.
The building grew larger with every passing minute, its towering walls reflecting the morning sunlight. Somewhere inside, hundreds of students were preparing for the exact same thing you were.
Hundreds of future heroes.
Some would become allies.
Others would become obstacles.
You tightened your grip on the strap of your bag resting against your knees.
The bus slowed.
Air brakes hissed.
Kaminari leaned across the aisle. "Okay, quick question before we get off."
He pointed at you.
"If things go south in there..." he grinned nervously, "you've got our backs, right?"
