"I AM- finished," Lily stated as she held the test in her hands. The two males that were on the couch quickly turned their attention to the girl's direction.
Nezu jumped down from his seat and walked up to her. "Finished already? My, my, that was certainly quick." The girl scratched her cheek lightly.
"I already checked my answers." She said, giving him the papers. He took it and scanned it carefully. He did little nods as he continued to go through the papers.
"I'll go get it checked, you may join your father on the couch." Nezu quickly ran off to get the test checked while the girl went to the couch to join her father.
"I see you, miss Speedy Writer." Her father said in a playful tone. "Was it that easy?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"Just maybe."
"And then you actually got all of them wrong--"
"SHUSH!"
Even when she passed her papers quickly, there are still big chunks of doubt in her mind.
The only thing to do now, is to wait for the results.

Lily's father noticed that his daughter has been fidgeting for the past few minutes. Probably because of nervousness. "Hey." He called her, making her turn her head and face him.
"I think--no, I know you'll do great." Her father said reassuringly as he patted her head. She nodded in response.
"Anyways," the man retracted his hand. "How's Izuku?"
His daughter suddenly got hit by a bullet of realization and widened her eyes at him. "Oh my goodness gracious!! I forgot to tell that green-haired nerd!" She hurriedly took out her phone. Before she could even open it, she was immediately interrupted by a voice.
"Young Lily and Mister Yane," Nezu came in with an envelope in his hands and a proud smile on his face. The girl pouted in defeat as she slowly put down her phone. "Congratulations, Miss Lily will be in class 1-A. With the homeroom guidance of Mr. Aizawa Shota."
The principal gladly handed the girl the envelope. "Well, that's poggers. I shall now see what score I got." She said as she swiftly opened the envelope. Her eyes widened once she saw what greeted her inside of it.

"Please excuse me, sir Nezu. But, is this correct?" She asked, pointing at the perfect score on the paper. "Yes, it is indeed correct, miss Lily. I'm quite surprised as well."
Lily's eyes sparkled with hope and excitement. Still can't believe this is happening. U.A. is the #1 ranked high school for heroics and is considered as the top Hero Academy in Japan. And she'll be attending classes in it.
"Classes will start quite soon. But first, we must find your gym and normal uniforms." Nezu started, hinting the girl to follow him.
She gave out a sigh and followed behind him.
What could Class 1-A and U.A. Highschool itself have in store for their students?
Well, no matter what, she hopes that she'll go through them with her friends.
Once they pass the entrance exam, of course.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
It's been a few months after knowing which class she's in. Lily hasn't told anyone yet that she's enrolled in U.A. High. She trained and trained to be worthy of being one of U.A.'s students. It's also to show her father that she is taking this seriously.
She may not be athletic, but that doesn't mean she can't try to be.
She waited until classes and U.A.'s entrance exam are finally over. She saw how tired and hardworking her friend was, so she decided to wait until they don't have any more plans for the rest of the month.
She had planned to meet up with her best friend, Izuku Midoriya, at the park. "Lily-chan!" The boy said with enthusiasm as he waved a hand while walking towards her. They agreed to sit on a bench before talking.
"It's so nice to see you again, Lily!" Midoriya exclaimed happily. "It's a pleasure meeting you too, Izu. Again."
"So umm, I've been meaning to tell you this.." Lily started as she nervously kept scratching her cheek, hesitating if she should finally tell him or not.
Izuku hummed in response, waiting for her to continue. She looked at her friend that has an excited expression on his face.

'I guess I can tell him. He's my best friend, I can trust him.'
After thinking it over, she took in a large breath of courage before speaking again.
"Don't tell anyone about this. Months ago, I saved someone from a car accident..but it was more like a truck accident."
"Ehh?! Hontō?!" Her friend asked in shock. "You actually saved someone?!"
"Yessir." Lily gave a quick nod. "But wait, there's more."
Midoriya was at the edge of his seat, quite excited to hear his friend's story.
"The person I saved was actually.. Principal Nezu!" She said with her emotionless demeanor. "He's technically the reason why I got into U.A."
The green-haired boy was in shock. He couldn't process it all at once. "I-Izu..? Earth to fanboy." The white-haired girl waved her hand in front of the boy's face but didn't get a response.
"WHAAAAA TELL ME EVERYTHING!!!" The boy suddenly yelled, making his friend jolt back in surprise.
"You should work for a horror film or horror game or something because you sir are good at jumpscares."
"S-Sorry! I'm just so- you got me hyped- I just can't-" the boy kept rambling, making his friend scratch her head.
"I should have expected this.."
She really should have.
"OKAY OKAY!! YOU BETTER TELL ME EVERY DETAIL! NO ALL MIGHT LEFT BEHI-- I MEAN NO SMALL WORD LEFT BEHIND!"
"This seems like it's going to be a long hangout."
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
"Sugoi! I can't believe you went through all that, Li-chan! You really are capable of doing amazing things." Midoriya smiled as he gave words of encouragement.
"T-Thank you.. I couldn't believe it either. When I thought that my dream couldn't happen, here is fate, doing its work. Pretty unbelievable, right?" Lily said, placing a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Since you told me all that. I have good news as well." Her friend smiled as he started. "I barely made it in but, I passed the entrance exam!"
"Really? I'm honestly quite proud of you. Great job, mate." The white-haired girl gave him a thumb up, making the boy scratch his head in embarrassment. "What class are you in?" She asked.
"Class A-1." He replied. "Ooh that's poggers, we're in the same class."
This lightened up their mood, knowing that they're still going to be together as friends. Same class, same school, how fortunate.
"But there is one thing that's been puzzling me. What do you mean by 'barely made it in'?"
Midoriya hesitated for a moment. Lily tilted her head in confusion. "W-Well you see.. I didn't get any points in the practical exam, but I did get many rescue points. That's how I got in."
"I see.. Oh, so you also saved someone?"
"Heh, that seems to be the case. Guess we really are friends huh? We both saved someone these past few months."
The girl nodded, leaning back on the bench. Something suddenly struck her which made her sit up and face the boy with a serious face.
"You have a Quirk?"
The green-haired boy was suddenly taken aback by her question. "I- uh. Uhm y-yes..? No- I mean yes- I mean-" he kept stumbling on his own words, not knowing what to say. He kept hesitating if he should tell her.
He then began to feel something vibrating in his pocket. Checking the source, it was his phone. He fetched the device out and checked it. After a short moment, he turned to his friend and returned his phone to his pocket.
"I actually need to go now, Lilifer." He quickly stood up, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "Oh, I understand. Well, till we meet again, Izu." Lily said as she stood up before waving goodbye.
"See you next time, Lily!" Midoriya said, waving back as he walked away, heading to his home.
Seeing the boy already far away, the girl placed her hand back down to her side before heading back to her own home.

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 143Travels along the Astral Road
The words in these scrolls depict the path of Bai Qi, the greatest scholar of his time after he was forced to leave his life, achievements, and even body behind to save himself. Assuming the persona of Wu Guang, he will have to start his cultivation from zero on the weakest area of the lowest plane possible. How, when, and at what cost he will reach his previous strength? Will he surpass it? Or fall along the way? A mix of XianXia and XuanHuan with slight touches of western fantasy.The first book will center more on explaining qi, cultivation, and other elements of the genres - so if you are searching for some constant battle action, the start may be a bit slow.The second one will go on a probably OP trope, with the MC being simply too good for his environment.Plans are to write at least seven-eight "books" (About 120 chapters per book). Currently, the chapters being uploaded are part of the 5th book.The current schedule is at least one chapter every "Wednesday" (could be a day earlier or later, sorry, my times are strange atm), plus up to two chapters each week if I am able to. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge], always. Completed Challenge, x2Waiting for the next one!
8 259How The Weak Live
This was a rough draft. Quite a meh one. The newer version is These Games of Ours. ---------- Lucious is deserter among many, living by dagger and beggary. Argento’s thirst for knowledge is endless, as is his belly. Kora is the perfect soldier, yet her sword grows dull in monotony. Formally known as the Empire's legend, the Captain is now stuck in stagnation. The Gods, grown weary of human deeds, have decided to indulge themselves in a different way. -------------- THE 7 REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF Clichés shall be avoided like the cancerous tumors they are. The world shall not spread its pink butt cheeks for the main character’s convenience. No character shall be thinner than one slice of white American cheese. No female character shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main character is. No villain shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main characters are. Grammar laws shall be upheld sometimes. I, the author, swear not to be a prick. I, the author, swear not to go away without warning. If other LitRPGs are like Skyrim, then this is going to be a combination of Dark Souls and Total War. Don't expect action for the sake of action. Be warned, this is a slow novel. Read the reviews to see if this novel is a decent fit for you. Disclaimer: I do not own that gorgeous cover art.
