I forgot to explain it exactly, but Jun's workout attire is pretty simple, just a dark beige tank top and baggy light teal pants. Alright, on with the story!

The sight of Bakugou scared Jun a bit, not because of who he actually was, but the way he was acting. He was going around practicing his quirk, but his expression was not a pretty sight for someone who was about to try and gain points while he was wandering about.
Jun sighed to herself as she looked at the other people in the group, but she didn't recognize any of the other faces there. She cracked at her knuckles and went over to the door, walking with her hands in front of her, one hand trembling in the other. Everyone else seemed to be pumped for this challenge. Jun did not understand how exactly they were feeling this way, but it was interesting to see everyone somewhat feel the same thing but show it differently.
Over the speakers, present mic announced a countdown, loudly echoing throughout the different area's, so loudly you could hear it echoing off walls in a completely different direction of the school almost.

And then the doors opened, all of the students running ahead to get their head start into the exam. Jun's stomach sank to an unknown pit and started to spiral as she ran forward with everyone else. Muttering words to herself, she ran to a different direction than where Bakugou did,, If she wanted points then she'd need to go somewhere that everyone else wasn't, but a place where there were actual robots to gain points from.
Loud sounds of whirling came out beside Jun as she ran. One of the faux villain's has found her and was heading straight for her, but Jun took a breath in and knelt down to the ground, putting her hands down into the dirt and then up, shooting up a sharpened crystal towards the robots head. The crystal shot into the robot and caused it to take a step back before eventually exploding on the spot and falling to the ground in shambles. Jun sighed and continued to sprint forward, watching as a few pieces from a robot in a nearby explosion flew by her, just barely making it past her legs.
"close. ." Jun continued to run to different robots, easily hitting their weak points to take them down, though it was taking a tole on her body as each robot fell down from her attacks.
She took a moment to cough out the blood from her throat before continuing, the intercom buzzing as it turned back on "oooooone minute everyone! hope you got enough points!" Present Mics voice boomed out through the area again before the intercom buzzed off. Jun huffed a little as she heard people running, lots of thumping on the ground from the running as well. It was a little confusing, to say the least, so Jun decided to take a gander at what everyone was so afraid of that they weren't a few seconds ago.
She took a step out to see the whole commotion. Everyone else was running past her, some even pushing their shoulders against her to move her out of the way. Looking up, there was a robot, differing from the rest,, it was the 0 pointer, trying to make it's way through a tighter part of the city. She didn't know what to do,, the robot was coming towards her, and all she could do was stand there in a weakened state, unable to move her body, unable to move herself out of the way, unable to get herself safe.
As the robot got closer and closer to her, a sudden explosion came out from one of the buildings and crashed into the robot. Jun covered her face with her forearm before looking up towards it, the parts of the robot flying off in all different directions,, it was Bakugou who got to it, spraying it's part all over the area "move out of the way before you steal my damn points" he shouted towards her before landing himself on the ground a ways away from her.
Jun nervously took a step back as the intercom whirled back out, the similar buzzing noise returning like a timer you set on snooze. "and thaaat's it folks! times up! head to the locker rooms to change out and hope you get that letter in your mailbox!"
With an exhausted sigh Jun went to the front doors of the area she was located in, stretching out her arms and snapping each of her individual fingers. She wandered herself back to the girls locker rooms, wobbling a bit from how lightheaded she got from how much blood left her mouth. "Jun-Kun!!! Yoshiko smiled happily as she ran into the room, attaching herself onto Jun's back as she was halfway through changing out her shirt "how did you think you did?" Jun nervously smiled and finished putting on and changing out her clothes "I think I did as decently as everyone else? I'm not really sure but I'm sure the scores will come out soon?"
Yoshiko smiled and nods "I'm sure you did absolutely amazing!" she gave an enthusiastic smile before going over to her bag and getting her change of clothing out. Jun neatly placed her folded clothes into her bag, walking out of the locker room to wait for Yoshiko to be done changing as well. Looking around the area while she waiting, she noticed some students faces walk by her, some she actually recognized from the assembly Present Mic held a little while ago, one of them being the student with blue hair and glasses, another being Bakugou and Midoriya.
"alrighty, I'm all done!" Yoshiko smiled as she walked out, grabbing onto Jun's hands and spinning her around, she seemed happy enough, and it was slowly and slowly catching onto Jun somehow "are you just heading home now?" Jun nodded and let go of Yoshiko's hands before clutching onto her own bag "mn, I don't really plan to stay here any longer than I have to,, so I guess I will see you later?" Yoshiko smiled and waved to her "okie dokey! have fuuun~!" she waved and ran off away from Jun, giggling and smiling happily as she almost tripped over her own feet.
Jun watched to make sure she didn't almost fall before walking herself home, clutching tightly to her bags handles.
――
A few days had pasted since the exam, leaving Jun more and more worried as she awaited a letter in the mail, telling her if she was excepted or denied. She had spent the last few days just pondering on the answer she was going to get, not even designing a hero costume or anything of the sort if she actually did get in. She was trying her very hardest to not get her hopes up too much, or getting her hopes down either.
"honey, are you out training" her mother hummed lightly as she went to check Jun's room, knocking her knuckle lightly against the open door "oh, I would have assumed you were out with how quiet you are hun" she chuckled and sat down on the edge of the bed beside where Jun was lazily sprawled across. "Am I usually loud when I'm at home?" Jun lifted her head a little at her mother "no no nothing of the sort, just I've never heard you so quiet is all!" She chuckled and gently rubbed the top of Jun's head, trying to be something of a comfort to her.
Jun gave a small smile to her mother before sitting herself up "I'm just waiting for the letter y'know?" Her mother smiled and leaned Jun against her side "I can tell, but y'know I'm sure you're going to get accepted, if silly ol me was accepted then you will get accepted too!"
She smiled to her mother and gave out a satisfied sigh "alright alright,, thank you" Her mother smiled and got herself back up to go back out to the living room, leaving Jun alone to her own thoughts yet again.
The time finally passed and the mail got delivered, leaving too much anticipation for Jun to just wait for her mother to go out and collect the daily mail. She walked out and got everything, coming back and placing the less important items on the counter for her parents to read through while she was reading through hers. She sat down neatly onto her bed and opened the letter, where there was a projector instead of a paper that she was expecting.
With a small click, it started to project up into the space in front of her face.
And there it began, Al Might was on the screen, the smiling face that everyone knew was right there on the screen, leaning towards the camera "I am here as a projection!!" It was a bit of a scare, to say the least, even catching the attention of Jun's parents who were all the way in the other room. "Actually, I came to this town to work at U.A, you had passed the written exam, and gotten a total of 29 points on your practical exam, and though you scored low on the point system, you worked hard and persevered, and for that, we accept you into out hero academia"
Jun only watched, stunned from all that he was saying "Young Ishioka, join us, for your hero academia"
The projection shut off, which left the silence of Jun and her parents secretly watching from the door frame "seee, what did I tell ya, I told you that you'd be getting in!" Jun's mother boomed out so suddenly, wrapping her arms around her daughter and laughing softly, Jun hugging back onto her tightly, her emotions were so mixed she didn't even know how to reaction to any of it. " come on kiddo, big week ahead of you, so lets go get the registration papers filled"
Jun looked at her father and nods happy, smiling a wide smile from cheek to cheek, happy tears leaving her eyes.
