Ako, whose known for her intelligence and cat-like elegence, was naturally popular and respected - except for her fellow felines. And because she is overpowered, it is natural for her to ace all the exam without using her special ability.

[ Trial 1: The 50 Meter Dash ]

"Ako-chan, can you low down your strength? I'm afraid some of the students would get blown away from your sprint..." Koharu told the overly excited Ako, looking forward for the test to start. She looked at Koharu in disbelief, "That's the worst Koharu, everyone here would be giving their best but i would hold back my strength? They'll think that I am looking down on them, they'll think I am not taking them seriously, desu no."

At what Ako said, Koharu realized what she had done. But she's still worried for the students. What Ako said is true, but the well being of the students might be at stake here.

"Then, Ako-chan. Can you cast a barrier around the students? Just in case?"

Ako smiled softly at Koharu and patted her head, "Ma'ttaku, you always worry for the others. Are you really a succubus, Koharu?"

Koharu blushed at Ako's sudden question, but she's not embarassed, she actually likes Ako's pats and praises.

  The race started and Ako could see that everyone is giving their all, but for some reason, one particular guy is not using his quirk. Ako knows that he has one, one that he burrowed that was slowly dissolving inside his body.

  Ako was intrigued nonetheless. She's interested about what is behind his weak appearance that was hiding an enormous strength.

  Ako smirked, she's not Ako if she wouldn't spy this guy. Ako is always thirsty for knowledge after all.

  "Next, Saotome Ako and Todoroki Shouto. You two, get on the line."

Ako's gaze darted on to the multi-color haired guy, the guy she met on the train station - whose name is apparently Todoroki Shouto. Ako gave a piercing glare to him, clearly not forgetting the accident that happened not long ago.

  "Hmph, so your name is Todoroki Shouto, huh? Get yourself ready, I won't go easy on you." She said, raising her head elegantly. Todoroki didn't back down either, his eyes pierced right into Ako's soul, not that it would affect her though.

"U-Uhmm, Ako-chan, the teacher is waiting..." Koharu whispered to Ako.

She snapped back from the glaring contest with Todoroki and walked away from him, she positioned herself right before the line.

  She looked at Todoroki and sighed, "Well, I guess introducing myself to you would be respectful." She slightly smiled at Todoroki. "My name is Saotome Ako, desu wa."

  "Todoroki Shouto."

  The race started, and Shouto started skating on the ground while creating an ice path, while Ako was still stretching with a smile on her face - but it disappeared in a second. Before the class knew it, she was already on the other side of the race.

"1.06 seconds" Ako is satisfied with her new record, "Not bad, desu wa!"

Shouto glared at Ako, finally finishing the race with his 3.15 seconds.

"You.." Shouto muttered under his breath as he stared at Ako's retreating back, walking towards the goup of students.

He didn't expect that, although he had seen her quirk's ability during the pitch, it was still wasn't enough to determine how powerful she is. Really, what kind of monster is she? Is what Shouto is thinking.

  "Ako-chan! You're so amazing!" Koharu bombared Ako with praises as soon as she returned, and the other students crowded her - asking about her quirk.

"Dude! You're so manly - err...Manly woman!" Said by a red haired guy and sharp teeth.

   "Manly woman? Seriously?" Ako thought that she was ridiculed by this guy. But she shrugged it off anyways.

"What's your quirk? What can you do about it??"

"My quirk's shiny, adieu~"

   Ako stayed silent while listening to their ramblings, and when it finally died down, she sighed and smiled at them. Her cat smile almost burned their hearts, her smile is too cute!!

  "I am a cat, desu wa!" Her simple sentence made them question about her quirk's ability, can a cat really do those kind of things?

So they turned to Koharu, "Hey, do you Saotome-san?" Asked by a pink girl. Koharu immediately stuttered, suddenly asked by a question out of nowhere catched her off-guard.

"Huh? A-Ahmm. Ye-Yes, i do know her!"

"What can her quirk do?" Asked by a guy with black lightning streak on his blonde hair.

"O-Oh, h-honestly - she kept it a secret so I don't really know..." Koharu swiftly lied because Ako told her that she should keep their abilities' information and about the other world subject to anyone. Koharu immediately understood, because Ako knows everything. And so she trust her with all her heart.

"Awww man~ that's too bad. But damn! She's so freakin' cool!!"

 
On the other side, Midoriya is shaking, in fear of getting the last place. His dream is at stake here if he doesn't use his quirk!

Bakugo is glaring at Ako while she talk with her friend, Koharu. He couldn't accept it that he was easily beaten by some frail looking pussy cat. He hate it, he hate Ako, and he swore to his self that he would beat Ako, no matter what.

   
   [ Trial 2: The Grip Strength Test ]

  Ako easily gripped the object, and it resulted in 599 KGW. While Koharu's result is 607 KGW.

  "Are these two monsters?!" The class thought at the same time, excluding Shouto, Bakugo, and Midoriya.

  [ Trial 3: Standing Long Jump ]

  Ako jumped high in the air, while Koharu flew on the other side using her wings.

  [ Trial 4: Sustained Sideways Jumps ]

   Ako was almost a blurr. The same to Koharu.

  [ Trial 5: The Pitch ]

    Ako is already done with the pitch earlier, so she's on standby while she watch the class take the pitch. Koharu's pitch resulted 10 kilometers, while the girl with chubby cheeks whose name is Uraraka Ochako got an infinity.

  "She's not bad, desu wa." She whispered to herself, bringing her pinky to the side of her smiling lips.

When finally everyone took their pitch, a guy named Midoriya Izuku is finally going to pitch. The one Ako is waiting for. What kind of quirk does he hold?

  Ako's anticipation soon later died when nothing happened, "What happened, desu no?"

"I erased your quirk." Aizawa suddenly said, slightly glancing at Ako's direction which made her freeze up.

  "He can erase quirk?!"

  When she realized that he was trying to erase her quirk, she knew she was doomed to tell him the truth someday. It catched her off-guard, she didn't collect the information about her teacher diligently and now she's going to suffer the consequences.

But before that happened, she need to plan something in case something happens. She'll never be sure about what would happen to them in the future in an unfamiliar world.

  Ako unconsciously gripped Koharu's hand tightly, causing the girl to look at the feline princess with worry. "Ako-chan?" Her whisper were unheard by the petrified Ako.

  She once again decided to call out to Ako but was interrupted when a sudden strong blow of the air nearly flew them away, it made Ako woke up from her deep thoughts.

"Wha?!"

   'Such a strength!' Ako grinned when she noticed the bruised point of the guy's finger. 'And it came from the point of his finger! He's strong!' 

Ako's mood completely changed when she witnessed the power that Midorita holds. It woke Ako's thirst to collect more information about him.

"Sensei, i can still move!" He smiled, gritting his teeth to endure the pain on his finger.

  "That was cool, young boy!" Ako waved at him with a big smile on her face, Midoriya's attention turned to Ako's cheer. Realizing that a cute girl cheered for him made him turn into different shades of pink hues.

    Not long after, the eight trials ended in a flash with Ako and Koharu acing the exams. And the result came out, surprise surprise, Ako expected her name to be on the number one list, and Koharu is on the second.

Such powerful princesses.....

Unfortunately, Midoriya is on the last list.

"Oh yeah, the whole 'Expulsion' thing was a lie." Aizawa announced making the whole class turn into a second of silence before bursting off in astonish.

"It was a logical ruse to pull out your best performances."

"WHAAAATT!!!?"

Ako however, creased her eyebrows in confusion when she heard his excuse.

"C'mon guys, use your brains! Ofcourse it was a ruse!" Momo said in the middle of their fuse. But Ako greatly disagreed with her statement.

"It's not a ruse, desu wa!" Ako's voice boomed with elegance, staring at Aizawa with confusion.

"He expelled a whole class of students last year, there's no way that it was just a ruse, desu wa." She stated with a matter of fact, Aizawa is astonished and in confusion in how did she know that information when she wasn't even a student of UA last year.

"You seem to know a lot of things, Saotome Ako."

  Ako flinched and scratched her cheeks for a second, before her awkwardness disappeared again. She held her chin up and flashed a mocking smile, pointing out her head.

"Well, my brain gathers information when I want to." She stuck out her tongue to further annoy the teacher, but to no avail, her intention were ignored.

"How can you ga —" When Aizawa is about to speak, Koharu interrupted him.
 
  "Uhm, sensei. I think Midoriya should go to the infirmary now. He seems to be in a lot of pain since this morning." Her soft voice were soothing, it made the tension that Ako and Aizawa was building detoriate immediately, the class also began to calm down. But a few others were curious of Ako's true ability.

"Oh right, Midoriya. Go to recovery girl and get yourself patched up. Since your eyeballs will doubtless pop out of their sockets of tomorrow's absurd ordeal." He handed Midoriya a piece of paper, before proceeding to walk away, not forgetting to look at Ako one more time.

   'I'm doomed.'

  The day ended swiftly in a flash, with Ako weirdly energized and Koharu tired out of her brains and body.

"Haa. Today's tiring, Ako-chan. How can you smile so happily?"

  Ako chuckled, hiding the grim in her heart. She busted herself out that morning. Why did she blurted that out? Just to annoy the teacher? Clearly it didn't work. She gained nothing out of her efforts.

"Well...nothing, really!"

   She smiled at Ako's wobbly smile and decided to keep her worries to herself, because she knows that if she brought the subject up, Ako would lost her mind. She just did a stupid thing and Ako's pride could not handle it.

  Koharu looked up and saw Midoriya's exhausted figure, walking out of his wits.

Koharu grabbed Ako's hands and walked towards the green haires boy.

"Hello!" Koharu greeted, making the boy jump in surprise, seeing a cute girl smiling infront of his face.

"AH O-OH H-H-HI!!" He stuttered. He is such a precious timid baby boy, in the eyes of the feline princess.

"Is your finger all healed?" Koharu's soothing voice calmed Midoriya down, but still in a blushing mess.

"Ah yes, Recovery Girl healed me up."
He smiled.

   Ako stared at Midoriya while they walking, watching him talk with Koharu. Not minding that Midoriya were growing uncomfortable of Ako's scrutinizing stares. Her eyes were slit and her ears were twitching, while her tail were swaying gently on her back. Her human cat form were adorable and she sure catched a lot attention.

But the stares were unbearable for Midoriya so he decided to call her name, "Saotome-san?"

Ako snapped out from her calculations and information gathering, and responded to Midoriya's call. "Yes?"

"W-Why are you staring at me?" He asked, Koharu were a little embarrassed from Ako's obvious intentions of studying Midoriya so she decided to stay quiet.

  "Ah! I apologize for making you uncomfortable, desu wa. I just thought that you were powerful so I am doing my best of collecting your data, desu no." What she said made the poor Midoriya freeze up in alert, and his red alarms were blaring loudly telling his brain that Ako is a dangerous person that could immediately find out his secrets.

"P-Please don't gather my information, Saotome-san! Please!" Ako was surprised when he suddenly shouted infront of her.

'Well, i guess collecting their data without their permission would be really creepy. Plus, I'm not in my world anymore.' Ako thought.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

Midoriya breathe out in relief before they continue walking again. As they walk together, Iida and Uraraka both walked with Midoriya, Ako and Koharu. They talked about a lot of things and immediately became close, although Ako is still a bit distant, she liked being with them.
