The Unforeseen Simulation Joint facility.
While things often change, this stadium hasn't. Once again, fledgling heroes stand tall to prove themselves worthy of holding the true title.
We see a collection of students. All from hero academies across the nation.
U.A High School.
Isamu Academy.
Ketsubutsu Academy.
Seiai Academy.
And Seijin High School.
They all wait in their hero costumes for further instructions.
Many of them growing with impatience.
"What's taking so long?"
"This is so boring; can we start now?"
"Are we just going to sit here forever, my costume is chafing?"
"There's gotta be a reason we're still waiting?"
"Are we actually going to do something heroic today?"
Tensions are high. Until the sound of an intercom is heard, alerting them.
???:"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Every single one of you to the U.S.J!!! My name...doesn't matter at the moment! What does matter, is that each of you had received interesting recommendations from your institutions to be here today. Now, here in the stadium, there are different zones. Each with its own scenario. Each more pressing than the last. You'll travel to that zone and do your best to conquer said zone of its issue while facing designated "villains". You will be graded on many aspects during this bout. We won't tell you what or how you'll be graded because...well...where's the fun in that? Once everything is said and done, 6 of you will be chosen for a grand...special...prize. "
The students begin to murmur amongst themselves upon hearing the only part that interest their young minds. A prize. The arrogance on display will be shown today by quite a few.
???: "Get ready because the test...STARTS NOW!!!!"
*Clck*
As if a button was pressed, the floor of entrance area drops beneath all of students while a powerful suction force pulls them down. Within the darkness of the floor, 6 sizable tubes absorb a fair portion of each of the youngsters.
The speaker would halt for a moment, before screeching causing interference.
Pinky: "Oh where are my manners. CALL ME PINKY!!!! Good luck my heroes!!!"
The Alien-like hero would rejoice in her position as announcer as did Present Mic would during his time. Having fun and giving the students such hope.
Sitting in her viewing box, she, along with her fellow testing examiners begin to watch the potential of these fledgling heroes.

[Hero Safety Commission HQ - Few Days Later]
Deputy Commissioner Takami, now much older, his beard thicker with age. He speaks on the phone with a colleague.
Hawks: "So the recruitment went well I take it?"
???: "I sent you the data from USJ, can't you do this by yourself?"
Hawks: "Awww, am I cutting into your naptime principal? Or do you still prefer Eraser? I can't remember, you know, old age and all."
Aizawa: "*sighhhh* Why couldn't you ask Nezu for his input."
Hawks: "I'm giving him a break. Since he's gone all guidance counselor now when he passed the torch to you. Plus, who knows hero students better than the great 'Eraser Head' huh?"
Aizawa: "*sighhhhh*"
Hawks: "Great! Let's see who to start with..."
The winged hero opens the top file.
Hawks: "Let's see who to start with...hmmmmm...her."
