@headtrick [ ♡’d ] for a starter
Every time he grabbed his notes or put on his work out gear, Tenya’s stomach dropped with equal parts nerves and excitement. With each passing day, the incoming reality of UA High School became more tangible. Entrance exams were practically on the horizon, and his preparation schedule was exactly on track- he’d reach his peak physical fitness achievable on his own about a week prior to exams, and his studying was on track to leave him a week of review for his weaker points.
Anything he didn’t possess in natural talent and heroic genes, he happily made up for with persistence and discipline.
Of course, he wasn’t a shoe in by any means- Tenya needed to fight for his right to be in the academy, and more importantly, in the Hero course. He would be remiss, however, in saying he hadn’t made himself quite the force to be reckoned with.
Along with his own studies, though, he’d be nowhere without Shinsou. Studying with the right partner made all the difference, and all things considered they made a relentless duo. Tenya’s own smarts could be mostly attributed to relentless studying, but Shinsou was simply brilliant. It was a quality Tenya always admired, and certainly something that shone as they prepared for exams together, reviewing notes and techniques.
The idea of traversing UA next to his best friend- becoming heroes side by side- made everything easier. Sure, new environments were certain to build character, but a touchpoint couldn’t hurt. Not to mention- they worked as such a well oiled machine now, he couldn’t imagine things any other way.
Tenya was brought back to his thoughts with a flick to his ankle and a raised eyebrow from his companion. He blinked a few times before realizing he’d utterly spaced out.
“Sorry- did you ask me something? I got distracted while reviewing the chapter.” A sheepish smile grazed his lips- the type of easy natural expression reserved for Shinsou, Tensei, and occasionally his mother.
