28th February
It is time the U. A. Enterance exams are today. Steven, dressed in a light pink west and jeans pants, is rereading his study notes over and over again, like his life depends on it. Because to a certain degree it does.

"steven! Steven you gotta go! You'll miss the train! " Trisha called from downstairs looking at the clock.

"coming!" steven exclaims getting ready to leave and packing a few snacks, water  along with a spare shirt and pants, for the practical exam, into his new pink and purple backpack.

After a nerve wercking train ride and a good long walk steven finally arrivierten at his destination. U. A. the best School for future heros.

Starstruck steven stopped to look at the huge building in front of him. Some people passed by him he didn't recognize anyone so far, but that was to be expected. Hundreds of applicants are here today to prove themselves worthy enough for one of the 40 spots in the hero department.

"It sure is amazing, isn't it? " a familiar voice and a hand on his shoulder broke him from his trance.

"It sure is" steven breathed out in awe

"come on you can stare at the school all you want later for now we need to take an exam" the shinsou announces slightly pushing steven to move forward.

"you're right let's go!" steven says and runs into the school

"hey wait no fair!" shinsou yells running after him into the school

___

After five minutes of just searching for the the right classroom they finally arrived at a gigantig door with a sign taped onto it saying: 'written test"steven has done the mock test and passed with flying numbers, but now? It all depends on it.

Stevens hands start shaking his knees feel like jelly he can't move anymore he feels his hair slowly glowing up if he doesn't calm down he will be glowing like a pink night light in the middle of the night. Steven moves his hands to his face and than with some force claps his hands onto his cheeks the sting from the inpact snapping him out of it and calming him down enough for the glowing to be barely visible to non existent.

While some are staring at him, he doesn't care, he can worry about that later after all.

The tests are passed out and everyone starts writing like crazy.
Steven is done after an hour but everyone is still writing did he miss a page?
Why is that kid using a compass?

Where the hell do you need a Kompass???

Steven goes over every page double checking than tripple checking. Nope not a single page needs a kompass is he missing a page? What the heck?

With nothing else to loose he gives the papers to the teacher at the front and goes outside as the teacher instructed at the beginning of the test.

'practical exam information=>' was written on a sign near by so that is where he went he came to a big hall with a bunch of seats assigned to each candidate and a big stage steven was the first one there.

He took a seat to his left was shinsous assigned seat and to his right an Isuku Midoriya.

After a few minutes slowly more candidates started filling the room just like a kid with green eyes and black hair with green highlights that came and sat next to steven.
'This must be that izuku kid' steven concluded.

"Hi I am steven, steven universe" steven greeted waving awkwardly at the greenette kid.

The kid stopped and looked at stevens hair for a moment it looked besides the color difference and curliness a bit like his own

"Oh uh hi I am izuku midoriya" the kid introduced himself after a moment.

"how was the written exam to you? I am a little nervous about the practical one" steven starts talking to make it less weard to sit next to to each other with nothing else to do.

"oh well I suppose it went fine I should pass. And you?" izuku answers to not be rude

"it went good however I for the live of me don't know a single task that required a compass" steven starts rambling a little

"they probably made more than one exam so you can't copy of of someone else" izuku states "after all this is the best hero school with the that looks for the best of the best..." izuku startet muttering a little until a blond guy sitting down next to him snapped him out of it

"shut up stupid deku"

"uh jea sor-"

"you don't have to be so mean to him we are having a nice conversation here"

"shut up you extra" the blond boy spat

"kachan you can't just call people extras"

"I can call them whatever I want to" he sneered and turned away

'what a jerk' steven thought

The room was filling up some more and steven spotted shinsou and waved him over
"hey how did it go?" steven asks eager to hear

"it went pretty great" shinsou grinned
"how about you?"

"It was great too!"steven proclaims proudly

A few minutes passed and the room was finally full. The lights dimmed and the stage lit up. A man came on the stage and started talking he seemed, familiar.

" what's up U. A. Candidates thanks for tunning in to me! Your school DJ! Com' on and let me hear yah!"

"yeah!" steven yelled, while everyone else was silent

" yeah! I am present mic! And now let's skip straight to the main show. Let's talk how this practical exam is going to go down! Okey! Are you ready!!?"

"yeahh!!" steven yells loudly again while everyone else was yet again silent. Shinsou smiled at stevens enthusiasm to think a few months ago he almost wouldn't have considered even coming seemed so abstract now.

"oh my goodness it's the voice hero present mic! So cool!" izuku squeals and starts to figuratively glow up "I hear his radio show everyday of the week. It's so crazy that all the U. A. Teachers are pro heros"

"please shut up" the blond guy says

"like your application said; today you rockin boys and girls will be out there conducting ten minute battles in sububurban settings!"
"after I drop my mic! here you will head to your specified places on your cards! Okey?!

" alright! " steven yelled

" wait let me see yours" shinsou asked to see stevens card

"sure" steven said flashing his

"wait then we are not even in the same place" steven says disappointed to him beeing in room C and shinsou ind room D

"Okey, okey let's check out your targets! There are three types of foe villains in every center, you'll earn points based on their level of difficulty so better choose wisely! Your goal in this is to raise your score by using you quirk to shred these foe villains like some guitar sole! But make sure you keep your face heroic attaking other examines is a U. A. no no you da-"

" Excuse me sir! I have a question" a boy with dark blue hair and glasses raised his hand standing up

"hit me! " present mic says in his loud voice and a light goes on fewing the guy that stood up.

"on the print out you have listed four types of villains not three. With all respect if this is an error on official U. A. materials, it is shameful. We are examed to be students. We expect the best of Japan's most notable school. A mistake such as this won't do."he criticizes, then turns and point directly at izuku and steven
"Additionally you two with the uncemt hair"

"huh" /"what?"

"you have been muttering this entire time, and you with your shouting! Stop it if you can't bother to take this seriously leave! You are destracting the rest of us"

"sorry" izuku shrinks down

"Hey I am taking this seriously! If I weren't I would have brought my ukulele!" steven protested

"Alright Alright! Examenee number 7 1 1 1. Thanks for callin in with your request " peresent mic says giving him the thumbs up
"The fourth villain type is worth zero points! That guy is just an obstacles we will be throwing in your way. There is one in every center, think of him as a hervalx to try to avoid. It is not that it can't be beaten but there's got no point. I recommend my listeners to ignore it and focuse on the ones on top of the charge! "

" Thank you very much, please continue" Examenee 7111 bows and sits back down

"thats all I got for you today I will sign out with a little present, a sample of our school motto as general bologna napolio once laid down: a hero is one who overcomes lifes misfortunes mhmm now thats a tasty salt bite, you ready to go beyond? Let's hear a plus ultra! Good luck! Hope you've been practicing more than just books! "

Now everyone was heading outside
" good luck" steven wished to izuku which returned the wishes

Steven hugged shinsou
"give it your best shot!" steven encouraged shinsou

"I will you too" he said reassuringly.

Soon they got onto the busses that drove them to they're centers.

The candidates arrived in front of a huge wall with gigantic doors.

Steven mentally prepared himself to not panic

'what are you waiting for? a real fight has no count downs! So don't expect them!' was something Tiger said once when they trained ever since he told them he wants to be a hero they also trained him in combat he isn't an expert but is able to fight.

The doors opened steven waited a moment to see if they will say anything and than ran inside a few seconds later he heard present mic saying it already started and everyone swarmed inside. Only to see that steven already took out a two pointer.

Steven ran. He ran as fast as he could throwing his shield at as many points he could. Steven lost count after finishing off another two pointer was it twentyfive or twentyseven now?

He ran past a little guy with purple ball things sticking to his head. When suddenly a three pointer rushed directly at the shot boy. The boy screamed and covered his head with his hands but steven rushed to his help and put a shield between the boy  himself and the three pointer. It crashed with full speed against it and broke on impact.

"you ok there?" steven asked the kid

"y-yea I am just fine" he says as tears start spilling from his eyes

"hey it's okey" steven tries to calm him down. But the child just ran off yelling something about leaving him alone

'well if he says so' steven though and took of into the other direction.

'This place sure is big, maybe if I had a different angle I could find more points' steven though leaping into the air he floated for a few second until he found a small amount of points running around two streets further and landed close by to destroy them.

"thats 39! Or maybe 41?" Steven didn't know anymore what amount of points he actually had.

Then a strong wind blew thru the whole 'city' and a huge zero pointer came driving over the streets everyone is running the opposite direction out of terror.

Steven looked at it. Well stared actually. He stared at it.

"I saw women bigger than that" steven concluded

"shit no no no no no no nooo!" suddrang through the city

Steven turned a little to see a blonde guy looking kind of like the kazoo kid pulling his foot off the ground and failing miserably. Stuck to his foot and the floor was a purple ball thing.

"hey do you need help?" steven asked

"puh no of course not! Why? Do you think you are better than me?!" the kid rants

"what? No I just asked because you seem stuck and that thing is getting closer!" Steven told him

"Just shut up I can handle myself!" the guy yelled than sorta taped sorta slapped his arm and then pushed him away.

The boy again helplessly tryed. To move his foot but failed. Now the zero pointer came a little to close for comfort. For both if them.

"just run!" the blond guy yells

"I am not going to leave you here!" steven yelled making a bubble around the blond and running to the robot.

"What are you doing are you crazy!?" the kid yells trying to unstick his foot again.

Steven ran at the zero pointer and concentrated he starts glowing ping and then just a meter away from the robot he uses his legs and kicks it back the zero pointer is pushed backwards, at the same time it looses it's balance and collapses forwards sgeven runns with incredible speed to the kid in his bubble.

"duck!" steven yells to him, as he drops the bubble and openes a shield large enough to cover them both entirely.

The zero pointer collapses on top of the shield leaving the boys unharmed.

Once the zero pointer is entirely on the ground steven does his best to keep the shield up. He has never used so many shields in one day before and it started to take a tool on him. The shield starts to fade and a horrible sound of metal falling around them pulls steven back to the moment. He created a bubble around them and sat down for a moment

"can you still move?" asked the blonde

"yeah just give me a second that was a  bit much"

"I am monoma" the blond introduced himself

"steven" Steven replied

"so how do we get out of here?" monoma asks

"don't worry about that" steven said getting back up.

Steven formed a small shield and broke the concrete freeing monomas foot

"why didn't you just do that from begin with?" monona asks

"you didn't want my help" steven strugged "anyways help me push

Together they made they're way out from under the rubble of the zero pointer once outside steven dropped the bubble

" Aaaand time's up!" he heard present mic yell.

That was all steven needed to hear as he dropped onto the floor letting the darkness consume him.

When steven came back to his senses he was on the bus sitting next to monoma he was saying something

"... you awake?" was all steven could make out.

"yeah I am" steven said reaching into his backpack and taking out a sandwich he luckily packed this morning

"hey uh thanks for... saving me earlier" monoma said hesitantly

"your welcome, it's no b-" Steven started but was quickly interrupted by monoma again

"Don't you dare to think that you are any better than me!" Monoma rants and turns away when suddenly his belly growls

Steven chuckled a little" do you want half my sandwich?"

" Do I want half your sandwich? Do I want half your sandwich?! Pfft no-"he starts ranting as if steven was just pranking him

" Here just take it I don't mind" steven said handing half of it to monoma

"..."

"most people usually say thank you"

" huh? thank you steven"

"your welcome" steven smiles

This could be the start of a Beautiful friendship
