Because For Him To Be With Hizashi While They Got Names They Would Need To Be Together In First Year (like The Current Students) - Blog Posts

i think he started on the hero course because for him to be with hizashi while they got names they would need to be together in first year (like the current students) and because he claims to be bad at fighting and is extremely self conscious in the vigilante flashback which would not make sense if he had won the sport festival or he had done good in it because even his teacher doesn't seem to see the potential of his quirk also by making him win the sports festival we are missing a lot potential of literally making the entrance exam anything we want i don't think we are ever told if the entrance exam is always the same but if not then you could make it as crazy as you want like you are telling me you want to keep the same exam with robots for 15 years?
