"Ah, maybe you're right. But I'd much rather be humble than egotistic," She explained. Taking Luka's handshake offer. "You're right! I'm Lux. Sure hope to see you in may!"

"You probably will," Came the woman's voice again. "You two showed incredible resilience against an actual villain...
(I was thinking a teacher or something but this works haha)
"Ugh, you creep! You're just being petty because you didn't get the job!" Fright squeezed her way out of the cocoon using the her surprisingly small size that's shrouded by her hoodie. "Whatever. I've already killed enough here. That's...
Way too easy. I don't know why I was worried! Oh man, what will the bonus check look like after this? Fright was distracted from actually finishing the job as she thought about the life she'd live after killing so many future heroes. If Stain could see me! Smiling like the psycho she was, Fright...
“Yes, I’m here! At UA! Who would’ve thought. Now you two take i easy, okay?” Recovery girl said before taking off again.
Lux took the vial before responding, “awh, I didn’t save you at all. I’m the one who wasn’t paying enough attention to notice the purple eyes.” She explained, pointing to her...
“Phoenix, try casting light on those shadows,” the woman ordered, and Lux quickly followed as she landed and held her wing near them.
“Oh yeah, he got my leg though,” she said in response to the other girl, looking at the wound for the first time. “Oh! Wow! Um. Well, that hurts.” She said, more...
"What? You've got super strength now? Are the teachers seeing this?" She asked, dodging upwards rather than into the spikes.

"We are." Came a voice from somewhere on the exam grounds as Stalker was suddenly encased in ice that seemingly appeared out of thin air. The only thing left to the...
A throw? wrong choice. Lux righted herself mid-air, opening her wings to glide. She used the momentum from the throw as she U-turned to fly back at Stalker. She picked up a piece of a broken robot, flew a little higher, and threw it with all her might at Stalker.
Lux threw the girl up as she was slammed down, trying to cancel some of the momentum. "Why are villains always so up in everyone's business?" She asked, as her forearms became completely engulfed in fire, burning off her sleeves. The adrenaline was pumping too hard for Lux to even notice the...
This isn't part of the exam, is it? Lux thought to herself, looking to the other girl. Running away and looking for help. That's a valid choice, and I can't use my quirk to inflict damage until I get my license. So, until then, Lux grabbed the other examinee, and flew straight up through the...
"Woah, a secret addition to the exam? Is this what the blue haired girl meant?" Lux asked nobody in particular, letting her wings flare up while the rest of her body caught aflame as well, doing her best to light up the shadows and play to her enemy's weakness.
"Oh, my goodness! I didn't even realize you were in there! Quite the useful quirk you've got there," Lux complimented, holding out a hand to pull the girl to her feet. "Here, in case I managed to hurt you," Lux began, grabbing a vial from her belt. "My tears. They're really fast painkillers if...
Lux was, admittedly, too caught up in the exam to notice that one robot was any different from the rest. She flew from robot to robot, not really worried about what point value they were anymore. She just wanted to keep moving.
“Four threes, seven twos, and two singles. What’s that... thirty...
Fright focused her efforts into stealing points from other people.
“You’re not insecure at all about your abilities?” She’d ask, only to sneak by them and rip the heads off. “If I were you I’d give up. It’s not worth it,” she’d continue, before running off and leaving them unsure. Even after she...
Lux stood before the gates, stretching her legs and wings simultaneously. She jogged in place a little, cracked her knuckles, and got ready to run.
“This isn’t just an exam. It’s a test.”
The words echoed through her head as the gates swung open. Nobody had announced that the exam was starting...
Now, we return to the present.
The woman from before Finished adjusting the microphone to her height, and breathed in to begin speaking.
“Each one of you sitting in the stands today are candidates for UA’s hero course. I hope you understand that this test will be the keystone of your entire...
“I’m glad you’re not roping me in with him,” Fright responded, taking her eyes off her wrist. “As for you, Stalker, my recommendation is to cut your losses and go back to your old deal. While your quirk overpowers his one on one, nobody should be reliant on their quirks in every battle.”
Fright...
“Ooo someone’s in troubleeee” Fright teased, talking in a high-pitched but quiet tone. She left her input at that, however, as she continued to adjust her hidden blade. This conversation wasn’t about her yet.
“Well, they certainly are now. Come on, we shouldn’t keep a deal hanging over our heads.” She said over her shoulder, walking up to the front doors. She wanted to take in the besuty of the outside for just a little longer- it was incredible the things money could buy.
“Our reputation proceeds us,” Fright commented in a mock-confident way, stepping out of the car with her hands by her sides. “You think they’re scared?” She said to nobody in particular, just so she could watch one of the guards shake in their boots. Fright continued through the gates, putting...
