My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

"Ready?" Satoshi hopped into his shoes and opened the door for Emma. Judging from his enthusiasm, it seemed as if he was the one transferring to another school since his excitement didn't rival that of Emma's. He was looking forward to the matches more than her and it showed on his face.

"Can I come with you?" Aira cooed, grabbing Satoshi by the hem of his shirt as she gently tugged on it. Even though Satoshi hadn't said anything, she was already pouting. She knew that she couldn't come, but she asked anyways.

"Of course. I mean, it's not like I can stop my parents from coming. Emma and I are just heading there first to fill in some paperwork for her transfer." Satoshi responded, patting Aira on the head. From her smile, Satoshi could tell that she was pleased with his answer.

Emma was still in her usual get-up, eating toast with peanut butter as she made her way to the front door. She did pack her uniform in her bag since she opted to wear casual clothes to school. It would be pretty weird if she were to wear her uniform during the matches, after all.

With a nod, Emma also wore her shoes, and the two of them headed outside. After waving at Satoshi's parents, Emma quickened her pace and caught up with Satoshi. The two of them walked together side by side.

"I hope the practice you had back there with Shiroi gave you some idea about your future matches. Shiroi has one of the most practical superpowers in offensive matches like the ones you're going to have as part of the 'entrance' exam. I'm quite sure you'll get in though. You've been practicing under the number one superhero, after all. It would be bad if you were to lose a match." This was Satoshi's roundabout way of pressuring Emma. It was D-day, and he wanted to tease her a little bit.

"You really have to go there, huh," Emma said, inhaling and exhaling the moment Satoshi mentioned her training under his father's wing. Nevertheless, she was looking forward to the high schoolers she was going to meet. She felt a tad bit anxious, evident on her face, but she was overall excited.

"Of course, you're pretty skilled with your dimensional portals so winning should be easy for you." Satoshi smiled.

The United Superheroes Academy was a walking distance from the Midoriyama household, so Emma and Satoshi opted to walk instead of riding in a car. This was a good warm-up for Emma and it was also a good time for her to clear her head before her upcoming matches. It was fairly evident that she was nervous. This was her first official match on Earth, after all, and doing something for the first time on foreign soil really gets in the nerves sometimes.

As they neared the school entrance, Satoshi couldn't help but look back to when he had his first match at the United Superheroes Academy. A few months had passed since that time, but Satoshi could remember it as if it was yesterday. He reminisced about awakening his power that night and then coming up with a good idea the next day by visiting the hardware store.

And as if on cue, the hardware shop came to view just when they turned a corner. Satoshi remembered running into the shop and asking the shop owner for a Nailgun. Until now, Nailgun is one of his most powerful familiars and he would always remember how he tamed it. Satoshi smiled. He was sure that Emma was somehow feeling the same nervousness he felt back then.

"This was where I got my first familiar, after Dex, of course." Satoshi narrated, telling Emma his story.

One of the guards on duty saluted at the two of them as they neared the entrance. With a slight bow of greeting, Satoshi and Emma entered the school premises. The school seemed livelier than before, probably because there were more people than usual. Not only that, a lot of foreign exchange students were there, which made the school grounds resemble a formal conference instead of the usual entrance exam.

Despite the fact that Satoshi was a student in the said school, seeing a lot of foreigners in a familiar place made him feel out of place.

"What are you spacing out for, Satoshi? Don't tell me you're more nervous than I am?" Emma called out, patting Satoshi on the back. It was payback for his unnecessary pressure earlier.

Satoshi sheepishly walked through the crowd so he could meet with the Principal who was situated by the front entrance of the school building. He was seated behind a table, and he officially handled the registration of all the students who were taking the 'entrance' exam of sorts that day.

The paperwork for transfer was already done, or that's the case for almost everyone. As for Emma, she still had to process a couple of things, like her guardian, for one.

It didn't take long before Satoshi saw the familiar faces of his peers. They too felt the same nervousness he felt after seeing a lot of foreigners on the school premises. That's why they were huddled together in one corner, trying to figure out who was who while looking at each of the faces of the transferees and foreign exchange students. It didn't take long before Satoshi noticed them. They weren't particularly the somber bunch so it was hard to miss them.

Satoshi ran towards them after he guided Emma to register with the Principal. A couple of 'good mornings' later, the sound of murmurs was heard from the crowd, attracting Satoshi and the others' attention.

Apparently, everyone was instructed to clear the school grounds since the entrance exam was about to start. The students who were fighting against each other could be seen shaking in their boots, well, some of them, since it was finally time for all of them to face off.
