Work Text:
Ochako doesn’t give much thought to the boy from before the UA exams. At least not at first -- there are so many other things on her mind. Like whether the written test will be just as hard as every practice test she reviewed for the very last time this morning, or whether she’ll have to use her quirk on herself during the physical portion and deal with the resulting nausea, or whether there’s even a chance of her getting into UA.
Once the robots come out (UA can afford a whole fake city , which must have taken so much labor and so many materials to build, and giant robots on top of that! Isn’t that crazy?), even these things are put aside. Ochako is far too busy trying to earn points and not get crushed. Still, she hopes that the green-haired student is doing alright in whatever exam he’s here to take. He looked really nervous, too. Not that Ochako or the other exam attendees aren’t, but it really would have been bad luck for him to trip before the exam on top of whatever made him so worried…
Later, when Ochako is trapped, leg partially crushed under the rubble that’s fallen behind her, she doesn’t give him any thought at all. Still, the green-haired boy comes from out of nowhere to save her, breaking what appears to be most of his body in the process. She reaches out her hand and stops his fall.
