Chapter 6:
A crash from close by drew him from my attention from my thoughts. Another robot had broken through the wall of a nearby building. It rode on tank treads, had two arms that made up about half of its body, and had some form of multi-barreled weapon on its back. A three pointer then; a mix of long, and short-range combat.
It charged at me like the earlier ones. I didn't wait I used webs to pull myself towards it dodging a few rubber bullets and punched its head, crushing its head to the ground. Mt smirk grew as I started to enjoy finally letting myself free.
Shouta watched from inside his sleeping bag as the practical exam went underway, as applicants destroyed the robots with a variety of quirks at their disposal, mostly the flashy ones.
"We've got a pretty decent group this year, yeah?" One of the other teachers asked. "I don't think we've ever had so many kids reacting this fast" replied someone else.
Several of the main screens up on the wall were focused on a few such applicants. The few that had not hesitated when Mic announced the start of the practical. The most interesting aspect to see; were the ones who hesitated, and for how long, and who charged forwards at once. Regardless of quirk or potential, that at least showed who could remain focused in the minutes before the exam started, and who could react on pure impulse.
His own eyes were stuck on one such applicant that acted on impulse. OfCourse, he had known her, a girl wearing black combat pants coupled with a white hoodie with accents of pink. He was watching her in anticipation since the start and it had been quite a show until now, the way she had been moving showed that shew had some sort of plan of action while she was making decisions on the go showing she had a good battle instinct. She dodged elegantly and replied with swift and precise strikes that did not lack the power, of-course he had read that she had multiple martial arts forms under her belt, seeing her use them was still astonishing.
Shouta fought down a wave of exhaustion as he watched Bakugou ruthlessly tear into robot after robot, all with what he quickly realized was a manic smile on his face. He was not sure why he felt like that; he had not felt such exhaustion from the girl before although she was way ahead of him. There was just something about him that made Shouta want to curl up and fall into a coma.
That child was going to be in his class, and he would bring a massive fucking headache with him. Shouta could already feel it.
Because there was no question at this point that he would pass. He had been one of the first applicants to gain any points, quickly putting him near the top of the leaderboard, and he had held on to that position for the entire exam thus far. Even if he stopped getting any points right that second, he would still easily be in the top thirty-six, which was all the empty seats they had after accepting the recommendation students.
Shouta sighed, and returned his attention to his own screen, cycling through the other applicants to look for someone interesting.
I was swinging through the mock city below when I heard a sound of a metal crashing and then a sound of a building collapsing.
Halting my movements, I turned to investigate the source of the commotion, only to be faced with a robot the size of the buildings around it.
Ah, so it is about time the zero-pointer showed up.
As I watched it roll forwards, I could see some applicants running towards the entrance, while some of them used its distraction to gain some points. I was thinking should I take down that monstrosity of a robot, and if yes, how should I go about it.
At that moment, I heard a cry of pain. Knowing that I was not in the same site as Izuku meant that that was not Uraraka. I saw a kid, about 5'5. I noticed that the robot was heading his way and knowing what I had to do, I changed my direction of swinging and headed straight for the robot.
The closer I got, the faster my heartbeat increased.
I used one web to swung towards the robot with one we while using the other to pull a chunk of Debree and throwing it at the robot, causing it to have a small dent and attracting its attention, good. When I got near the robot, it swung its first towards me, I used my web to pull myself so I would land just above it.
Timing it neatly I ended up running on tom of its arm, I used both my webs to catapult myself towards its head, I landed near its neck where I could see its head and body being connected by some spinal cord design. I used my strength to stary to pull the head apart in a lilting motion to separate the head from the main body, I could feel my muscles starting to strain form the amount of strength it needed to split them apart, I could feel myself lifting the head little by little. As the robot neared the kid, I pushed myself beyond my normal, I could feel my body creak in pain as if telling me to stop but I pushed myself and finally the head popped of. I threw that thing behind its body and heard it crash.
I went down and lifted the Debrie above the kid and threw it aside, just then the buzzer went of signaling the end. I didn't wait for recovery girl. Instead, I went straight for the exit to meet up with Izuku.
-All Izuku could feal was fear, he had never felt such a feeling except the time when the sludge villain caught him first.
He was about to run when he heard a cry of pain, turning his head around slowly he could see who it was.
It was the girl that saved him in the morning, just a few meters behind were was the zero pointer and by the speed it was comi- he cut himself of when he realized that his body was running on its own towards the robot, ignoring his thought process he went in a crouching position, he called forth the power of One For All, it felt like a blazing fire but at the same time it felt warm like it was waiting to be called upon. He pulled the fire towards his legs and then he felt power like never before, he jumped and he felt himself going high, higher than ever before. He pulled his arm back in a position like his sister had taught him. Pulling the blazing fire in his arm he punched the robot in its face, a boom echoed through the air as the robot's face dented inwards and it started falling backwards, just as soon as he felt pride in himself, he felt pain like never before. He looked at his arm and his legs, he saw the horrific sight of his limbs, twisted in ways it should not be possible and bruised purple. Before he realized he was plummeting towards the ground, thinking quickly he pulled his only fine arm backwards thinking that if he used a smash, he might be able to make an opposite force canceling his fall. Just before he could punch, he got slapped in the face and started to float. The he heard "release." He looked back and realized that the person that slapped him was the girl he was saving. Before anything else could happen, he heard the alarms the end of the exams and he passed out.
When he woke up, he saw himself in his room, looking around he thought to himself how did he end up here, walking out he saw its night outside. Heading to his sister's room, he saw her talking to the air, before he could reply he heard a reply from her watch. "What the f-."
I was waiting for a while before realizing that he is most probably in recovery room right now.
As I arrived there, I saw him fast asleep, checking with recovery girl she allowed me to take him home. Picking him up I put him on my back and then I walked him.
Reaching home I put him to bed, he looked exhausted and obviously he was as recovery girl's quirk uses the patients stamina.
I went into my room and started finishing my AI project, I was able to fit my suit in my watch (the ultimatrix) and started uploading my AI in the watch.
"Hello Gideon you there?" I asked looking at the watch.
"Good evening, Miss. Midoriya." replied a voice. Before I could ask something else, I heard a familiar sound.
"What the fuck!?" said Izuku looking a little exhausted.
I switched off my watch and the computer and asked him. "What happened otouto?"
He asked "what was that?" I replied with "An AI."
Before he could ask something else, I walked out of the room and started to pull him towards the kitchen. "You are hungry and I know it so I am going to make some pancakes, follow me."
He followed me and glancing at his expression I could see him in a depressed like state. I could guess it is from the exam and him felling down because he got zero points with all might quirk, felling unworthy of the power.
I started a conversation with "So I heard you unlocked your quirk?" I asked him.
His expression told me that he was looking for an answer.
"I know about one for all." I told him.
His head shot towards me faster than I could blink like he was demanding answers. Ah right we didn't tell him.
"I have been spending time together with Yagi aka all might quite a few times, mostly on lunches or just chatting together." I replied the unspoken question.
"WHAT?!" he asked.
"Yes, you heard correctly now we can talk about my life latter but right now we will talk about your quirk control because I cannot keep seeing you breaking yourself trying to use it every time you use it."
I saw him looking down because he could not control the quirk.
"Ok, lets break down the quirk, it is a combination of two powers, one is the ability that stockpiles this unknown energy that you use to enhance yourself and the other is the ability to pass down the quirk. We are focusing on stockpiling part of it, firstly you right now have 9 generations of stockpiled power and you being an idiot decided that you would use 100% from the start. You must tone down the power and spread it throughout your body, it is not a punch enhancement quirk, it is a strength enhancement quirk. Try one percent?" I asked.
I could see him look at me like I am some genius and he is an idiot, I motioned him to do as I said. He stood up, took a deep breath and then I could see...
