CHAPTER TWO
Physical Entrance Examinations
5 Minutes Later…
Examination Location A
Mikota, the boy in the striped clothing stood calmly with a determined smirk, he stood along roughly three hundred other students. He looked at the wall before him. He read the huge sign.
"Combat Course." he chuckled. "Let's get this bre-"
Mikota is interrupted by a booming voice coming from the top of the wall.
A man with short grey hair raised his arm and said. "Welcome to the Combat Course, all of you. I am not going to sugar coat things at all. Roughly fifty of you are going to pass."
A cold silence enveloped everyone.
The man grins.
Mikota stared at the man. That's Morari Masaomi. He is a Support Hero. His quirk is the ability to amplify his voice, so everyone can hear him from a large distance away. He reminds me of Present Mic from that one comic book, but he cannot really scream or anything to make it a damaging quirk.
Morari spoke up again. "You are going in there and are going to be fighting clones of pro heroes and teachers that are pretending to be villains. You have to knock them to the ground and place their hand on a sensor on their back to claim your points. The harder it is to defeat a villain, the more points you will get, up to a maximum of three. Teaming up will grant no points to the second person to attack!" he rose a finger. "Please note, you may not severely harm anyone of the clones. Any clones that are destroyed will result in all of your points being deducted. If you are already at zero, you will be disqualified. Later on in the course we will add some civilian actors to the ring, hurting them will also disqualify you by default. With that, we are going to let you in. Go crazy! But not to crazy!" Morari raised both his arms into the air as the gate opened with a slow speed.
Mikota took initiative on the gate opening, and sped past the other students, who followed swiftly behind him. He had his eyes on a target right off the bat. He cracked the knuckle of his his right index finger using his thumb, a small red surge seemed to spark throughout his hand. The villain had a One Point label on it. Mikota lunged at the villain and swung towards its chest. The villain pathetically fell to its knees and Mikota swiftly put its arm behind its back. He checked his PDA, which gave a confirmation of his score increase. He returned the device to his pocket.
Mikota Kaze, Quirk; Joint Strength, Whenever Mikota pops a joint in his fingers, neck, or foot, his power increases slightly for around a minute. He can crack multiple for more power, or he can crack them individually for a longer power buff. Additionally, if a bone of his breaks, he will lose his sense of touch in that area, but his other senses increase greatly, it will also provide a high power boost throughout his body.
2 Minutes Earlier…
Examination Location B [Hostage Extraction]
Yafumi and Katska stood before the gate to their own course, separated by the crowd of students, receiving the same introduction that Mikota had just heard. The field through the bars that bordered off the training site looked to be similar to the main portion of Hosu City. Yafumi had a dark blue ribbon tied around her shoulder and Katska wore a bright yellow ribbon.
"Listen Up! Before we open the gates, let me explain what you two groups are going to do. Blue Squad is to go in and grab hostages that do not have a light that is turned on their chest, any hostages that have a lit light are considered dead." he spoke grimly. After the Blue Squad extracts the hostages, the Yellow Squad extracts them to a safe location, protecting them from whatever occurs. Both squads will be judged for their score by the teachers of UA Academy!"
With the students who made a general applause and cheered after hearing the information they had received, though Yafumi seemed a tad bit stressed out and Katska seemed annoyed.
"By the way, I forgot to mention it, but buildings with hostages in them will be marked by a red banner over their main entrance. Safe zones that Yellow Squad will take the Hostages to are Green." he spoke. "Now without any further ado, I will open the gate for you!"
After a moment the gate began opening.
"I can do this…"
"Let's get this bullshit done and over with."
Examination Location A
Mikota stood at the top of the building surrounded by four villains. Behind him was another one of the students. A three-pointer villain was holding a civilian as a hostage with a red marker to their neck, meant to simulate a knife. The rest of the villains were two-pointers.
The person behind him was a girl, wearing a bunny t-shirt and black jeans. "Hey." she whispered. "We are in a difficult spot here, but I think we can do something about this."
Mikota nodded, listening, but also thinking. If I attack anyone, the hostage will be marked out. I'm certain that'll have repercussions.
"I have an idea… I'll be right back…" she whispered to him. She began backing away.
"Where ya goin? Coward." the three-point villain chortled.
Mikota nodded again. He cracked his index finger, which drew all their attentions to him.
"Whatcha saying there, tough guy? Think cracking your knucks is gonna intimidate alls of us?" The three pointer sneered as he brought the marker closer to the hostage's neck.
He paused for a moment and glanced down. He saw a single stone on the ground, and it was then that he had an idea.
He cracks the joints in his foot and toes and raises his leg slightly, looking like he's about to kick the ground impatiently. he lets out a fake yawn and then he makes a quick kick...
