*BANGBANGBANG!*
"HAYATO GET UP, YOU LAZY BA--!"
"Were you about to call our son a Bastard, Dear?"
"N-no-no I wasn't.."
Hayato was awakened by his overly-loud Dad and his protective mom having a small domestic. Hayato helplessly smiled and got up and walked over to his door and opened it.
"Oi, Old man, go bug someone else," he said this before he closed his door again. Not before he felt the house physically shake from his father's anger but Hayato knew his dad wouldn't do anything drastic because he's controlling wife was right next to him.
Having done this, Hayato walked over to his wardrobe and put a fresh pair of underwear and socks on before going to brush his teeth. Looking in the mirror Hayato gave himself a reassuring nod because he was still a bit nervous about the entrance exam. He didn't know why because he was quite powerful and fairly intelligent but he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Shaking his head to get rid of his nervous thoughts, he walked back to his room and put on a white tank top, some black tracksuit pants and some white trainers. As soon as he was done he heard a knock on the door. Even though it was a knock, Hayato knew it was Izuku mainly because it seemed timid but had an underlying determination behind it.
He went and let Izuku into the house and they both walked to the kitchen.
"You want anything to eat, Izuku?" asked Hayato with a smile on his face as he looked at his friend.
"Uhh yeah, if that's all right..." Izuku spoke quietly as usual as he answered Hayato.
They both entered the kitchen to see Hayato's dad reading a newspaper and his mom cooking some breakfast.
'Never thought I'd see Muscular sitting down reading a paper like an actually fully-fledged adult...'
After Izuku got all nervous because two pro-heroes were right in front of him even though he'd met them plenty of times before, the two of them had breakfast. Izuku had some toast and said he was full, so he was just being the usual polite Izuku. While Hayato had, well to be blunt, a buffet.
He had 3 bacon and egg sandwiches, along with two 5 egg omelet, 3 chocolate chip pancakes and to top it off 3 glasses of orange juice. This was his quirks weakness, he burned up energy incredibly quickly. Especially when the [Oni] quirk releases the special hormones into his body, it ramps up his body's need for energy even further. It might not seem like a weakness but if he overexerts himself and can't replenish his energy levels his body will start to break down because of the lack of said energy.
Luckily his family could supply him with enough food to go on and he was guessing the Support Department should be able to help him when he joins U.A. so it wasn't exactly a debilitating weakness but a weakness nonetheless.
Seeing Hayato eat so much, Izuku started writing something down in his notebook on a page about Hayato's quirk. Hayato didn't mind because he knew what Izuku was like. Seeing that both of them had finished they agreed to set off for the exams now.
Along the way they saw their other childhood friend; Katsuki Bakugo. He was different compared to when he was in the show, he was still incredibly hot-blooded, rash and quite impolite but he didn't hate Izuku nearly as much, Hayato knew this was because of him. Whenever Katsuki tried to bully Izuku for not having a quirk, Hayato would step in and stop him.

At first, this made Katsuki dislike Hayato but over time they slowly became neutral, if not friends, with each other because of a mutual respect for the others power/quirk. That's not to say Katsuki isn't aggressive to people anymore, he his but it's definitely more of a joke like later on in the series compared to when he was at the start when he genuinely wanted to hurt people (Well, mainly Izuku.).
"Kacchan! Wait up!" Izuku called out to Katsuki and Katsuki seemed to ponder on whether he should stop or not. Surprisingly he stopped and turned around to wait.
As Hayato and Izuku reached him, he spoke "So you really are going to the exam even though you're quirkless? Hmph, it's a waste of time isn't it?" said Katsuki in his usual ruffian-like tone.
Before Hayato could get a word in to help, Izuku spoke before him "Yeah, it might be, but I've got to try Kacchan!" Hayato was surprised by the force and determination behind Izuku's voice. From the surprised look on his face, so was Katsuki apparently.
Katsuki had a glimmer of admiration flash past his eyes which surprised Hayato, but the glimmer was just that, a glimmer that was gone in a second. It was replaced with neutrality, Hayato shrugged his shoulders and urged the other two to carry on walking.
On the way, Izuku and Hayato spoke about heroes and ways to get past some of the things about the test they were about to go through, while Katsuki and Hayato spoke to each other about fighting techniques and the like. Izuku even joined in on the conversation with some of his own insights from pro-hero's super moves he'd done analysis on.
Soon they were at the entrance exam and were split up into different groups since they were from the same middle school so they couldn't cooperate or try to at least.
Hayato was put into group C and went towards a conference room where Present Mic was there speaking to them, he sat next to Izuku and Katsuki. Everything that happened there on, was what happened in the show. Present Mic explained what was gonna be happening in the mock battle exam.
There were 3 robots, each worth between 1 and 3 points. There was a 4th robot but it wasn't worth any points so most people wrote it off as useless and they'd leave it alone. However, Hayato knew what the robot was meant to be used for; To see the possible students characters and whether they were suitable to be a pro-hero.
After this brief explanation, they all went with their separate groups to the urban environment assigned to them.
Most of the people kept a distance from Hayato because of his tall stature and imposing physique. But there were a few exceptions, like a girl whom Hayato remembered as Kendo Itsuka. She kept speaking to him, she reminded him of when Izuku started talking about All Might or Heroes in general.
"So, big fella, you haven't told me your name yet?" said Kendo in her high-spirited voice.
Hayato put on a helpless smile as he replied to her "My name's Tagami Hayato."
"Ah, so it's Tagami-kun is it? I have a feeling we'll be friends." once again, Kendo spoke in her usual optimistic voice.
Hayato didn't think they'd really see each other that much as he was going to aim to enter class 1-A, not 1-B like Kendo. But still, he smiled towards her and nodded his head to seem polite because in truth he wouldn't mind being friends with her and he honestly wondered how she didn't get into class 1-A with her ability and it's power.

Another exception was Eijiro Kirishima who spoke to him about how he was jealous of his horns from out of the blue.
Honestly, Hayato was caught off guard by both Eijiro and Kendo as he wasn't used to dealing with high-spirited and outgoing people. His childhood friends were a timid quirkless kid and, an impolite and anti-social jerk. He wasn't equipped to deal with out-going people.
Luckily for Hayato, they soon got to the urban arena and they all ran into it hastily.
Hayato activated his quirk and shot ahead of the group. He saw a robot worth 2 points in front of him and just charged through it smashing it to pieces.
"Well, that's a start." he grumbled to himself.
From there on, Hayato started tearing through the robots as if they were made out of paper, knowing he'd get points for it he saved those who were about to get hurt. Granted that he didn't just do this because he wanted points but also because he didn't want anyone to die, he wanted to be a hero so he thought that he might as well get the practice in now.
By the time that he thought the 0 point robot would be coming, Hayato had destroyed nine 3 point robots, twelve 2 point robots and twenty 1 point robots. All this gave him 71 points so it was safe to say that he had safely passed. As Hayato thought this, the entire city started shaking and he knew that the 0 point robot was here.
Using his quirk, Hayato concentrated his strength into his legs and jumped on top of a building that didn't seem like it was gonna collapse. When on top of the building he saw that the giant robot was going through the city destroying the tall buildings that made it up.
Hayato covered himself in a lean combat suit of muscles as he whispered "Oni Mode: x5" after he whispered this, arcs of red lightening-like energy whipped around his body, going from muscle to muscle. This was something Hayato had come up with one day when he tried pushing the hormone that came from his horns into his muscle form.
If his muscle form increased his strength by 10x, then [Oni Mode: x5] pushed the strength of the muscle form further by, well, 5x. It gave him an incredible amount of power.
"Welp, time to impress the teachers." Hayato spoke to himself with a joking smile on his face and started jumping from building to building towards the building-sized robot. When he arrived on the building next to it he saw the robot sending its fist to a bunch of students and seeing that they were about to be hit, Hayato focused his power into his legs--
*FWOOSH!*
--and seemed to teleport to the ground in front of the students. But the deep and numerous cracks on the ground showed that he hadn't teleported but instead shot himself down from a building at a speed faster than most people could react and see.
Still seeing the fist coming towards him and hearing the people behind him, cowering in fear at the enormous fist heading towards them, Hayato stepped forward towards the fist and cocked his own backward as he got into a stance that would keep him grounded.
Meanwhile in a room with many screens showing students fighting robots or running from the 0 point robots. Two particular screens were the center of attention for most of the teachers.
On one screen there was a short, green-haired boy running to save a girl trapped under some debris.
On the other screen there was a tall, muscular youth with black hair with some red highlights standing in front of a group of students, attempting to protect them from the giant robot's fist, he seemed to be covered in a armour of dark red muscle as well.
The first boy jumped into the air with blistering speed and slammed his fist into the robots colossal head, sending a myriad of massive cracks throughout the head and then the rest of its body, destroying the robot. He fell from the sky before he was in turn rescued by the girl he rescued.
The other boy on the screen had finally swung his fist at the robots, all the muscles in and on his body were tensed to what seemed like the absolute max. When both fists hit, the air pressure was monumental and pushed all the students behind the boy away and made the glass from all the nearby buildings shatter.
But all the students were all fine, albeit a few scratches and bruises. It was good they were sent away as well, as the ground around the boy sunk downwards and formed a massive crater.
Some blood was coming out of the boy's orifices but he still had a smile on his face, as he saw what happened to the robot. The robot's arm was completely wrecked. It was on fire and the fist had been thoroughly shattered. But the robot was still functioning.
The boy, Hayato, not wanting to give the robot any time, jumped onto the broken arm and ran up the arm at a breakneck speed. Nearly instantly he'd made it 3/4 up the arm and suddenly he jumped towards the robots face.
With a savage grin, he used his momentum from his run up and jump and did a front roll mid-air and aimed his feet towards the head. When he was close enough he focused his power into the augmented muscles in and around his leg and let out a devastating flying drop kick.
*BANG!*
The robot's head was completely demolished and even fell off of the robot's body as it fell backward.
Hayato fell to the ground and landed quite easily with a dull thud.
As soon as he did he said one thing "I'm gonna be so goddamn hungry in a bit!" before he started walking towards the exit of the city as the test had ended.
But he was the only one around him who did this as the surrounding people were all shocked solid by his display of strength and the fact he seemed fairly unhurt even though he'd gone toe-to-toe with a giant robot.
In the monitoring room, all the teachers were smiling ear to ear as all of this batch of students seemed like they were going to be incredibly talented heroes.
While they were thinking this, Hayato was struggling to walk from the stomach pain he was feeling "Goddamn Quirk, using up all of my goddamn energy supply!" as he was raging about not being able to get to the food he brought with him to the exam two people came over to help him.
It was Kendo Itsuka and Eijiro Kirishima, they pretty much dragged his energy-less body to where they all left their bags and the like.
Once there Hayato quickly rushed towards his bag and pulled out a massive bento packed with rice and meat and started eating it with gusto.
As he was eating he heard Eijiro whisper "He even eats really manly...What a guy..." while Kendo just looked at him with understanding as if she knew what the weakness to his quirk was. Which to be fair, wasn't hard to work out.
'What the hell is Eijiro going on about? I'm just eating...And what's with the pity in that stare, Kendo-san? I'm just eating!'
With that mental thought, Hayato pretty much poured the rest of the bento into his mouth and down his gullet before swallowing it all down with some juice he brought. After that, he stood up and said thanks to Eijiro and Kendo before he sat down in contemplation.
'I should be able to enter U.A. now, my scores on the written exam should be enough and with my display today, it's pretty much guaranteed.'
After thinking this, a massive smile spread across his face, the kind of smile that would make All Might proud. He smiled because he's on his way to becoming a hero.

Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic
Xianxia, the dream of many. To be reborn in such a world so that you may make yourself a god amongst gods, so that you may rule your own fate and destiny.Well, welcome to reality, because even if you end up in such a realm, who says you get power? Who says you are the one who gets to rule as a god amongst gods? Those stories you read at home on your phone or laptop? Sadly, it just isn't so. Just like Zev, the protagonist of this novel discovered when he was dropped into a world full of Immortals, Monsters, Gods and other monstrous beings. No other worldly power, no other worldly magic, no treasure trove of knowledge or skills was given to him. He was dropped as a mere human, a slightly stronger than average human, into a world where his goal was to simply teach others upon pain of death.-----Full Name of Story [Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic: Mentor of Main Characters]And for the synopsis, I'll first of all state that I am not good at writing them, and this may not have explained the story very well. So I'll just state what the story includes, and what it doesn't. It includes Immortals, demons, gods, etc, you get the idea. What it doesn't include is an actually powerful main character. The main character has a set of unique skills, which include lying, cheating, faking, and all around poker face to get him in and out of situations.Again, the Synopsis needs to be worked on, but for now, that is what it is.
