SPOILER WARNING (just in case)
The following morning had everyone on edge as the final exam was set to begin. But there was a surprise twist for the first years of U.A. High: they would be paired up with another student in their class and together, they would face off against their teachers. The teams- in order- consisted of Rikido and Eijiro vs. Cementoss, Tsu and Tokoyami vs. Ectoplasm, Tenya and Mashirao vs. Power Loader, Team Shoto and Momo vs Shota, Ochaco and Yuga Aoyama vs. Thirteen, Mina and Denki vs. Principal Nezu, Koji and Kyoka vs. Present Mic, Team Toru and Mezo vs. Snipe, Minoru and Hanta vs. Midnight, and the final match was Izuku and Bakugo vs. All Might. But when Katsuki learned that he was paired up with Izuku, he was none too thrilled. His own anger towards him was bad enough, but he was still upset with himself for not saying everything he needed to say to Rui the night before.
Class 1-A and the U.A. teachers arrived at the uninhabited city; Class 1-A formed their respective pairs and the pairs went with their assigned teachers to their designated areas. Every U.A. teacher explained the test exercise win conditions- each pair must either handcuff their assigned teacher or one of them must escape the battlefield and the two optional win conditions must be accomplished within 30 minutes. By accomplishing one of the win conditions, the pair would win and pass the test exercise. The U.A. teachers would also be using super compact weighted bracelets, courtesy of Mei Hatsume from the Support Heroes class, to handicap themselves. Chiyo and Rui, monitoring the test exercise, began the test. Rui was worried about her friends, but this was a good test of their abilities and what they had learned so far during their time at U.A.
At the start of their match, Eijiro and Rikido rushed through the middle of the main street, hoping to rush Cementoss from the front. They believed they'd get a higher score for capturing him as opposed to running, but Cementoss cut them off from a great distance by creating a cement wall to block them off. They decided to try and break their way towards Cementoss from the front, Cementoss created more cement walls and Rikido ate his on-hand sugar supply to activate his Quirk. They both used their enhanced strength to break down and destroy the cement walls, continuing to strike every wall Cementoss built. However, their quirks worked on a time limit, unlike Cementoss, and they made a mistake by trying to defeat him with brute force. Rikido started feeling drowsy once the sugar began to wear off and Eijiro's hardening abilities started to fade while he punched more cement walls. Seeing this, Cementoss manipulated the walls surrounding them and trapped them inside a cement pit. He told them that they were weak in drawn-out fights and they needed to realize how far they could push their powers, then freed them both- only to find that they had both been knocked out. Having been defeated, Eijiro and Rikido failed the practical exam.
Next was Tsu and Tokoyami vs Ectoplasm- their match starting with Ectoplasm spawning his clones to surround them. He warned Tsu and Tokoyami that all the teachers were doing their best to crush the students as more of his clones appeared behind the duo and rushed them all at once. Tokoyami used Dark Shadow to throw Tsu to the platform above them and she used her tongue to pull him up to her level before the clones could reach him. Ectoplasm commended their teamwork and pursued them on the upper floors before creating more clones to cut them off. Tokoyami had a difficult time keeping dozens of clones from attacking him at close range, but Dark Shadow was able to take out the ones in front of him- at least until more clones appeared suddenly behind him. Tsu supported him with her tongue by striking down one of the clones, allowing him to defeat the other one behind him before turning to face the other clones. The clones evaded Dark Shadow and Tsu used her tongue to move her and Tokoyami to another level above them where they entered a corridor and were confronted by even more clones. Tsu used her mobility to get behind the clones and created an opening for Tokoyami to rush through. After defeating twenty-eight clones, the duo reached the escape gate- finding it guarded by the real Ectoplasm.
Upon seeing that they had reached him, he commended them for defeating the other clones before creating a gigantic clone to attack them. Ectoplasm used his Forced Internment Giant Bites Super Move to capture and trap them both inside the behemoth. Dark Shadow appeared from Tokoyami's body and tried to get through the gate, but Ectoplasm was able to keep it at bay. Seeing this gave Tsu an idea and she created a strategy to defeat Ectoplasm. At her request, Tokoyami recalled Dark Shadow briefly and gave him something from Tsu. Dark Shadow attacked again and Ectoplasm appeared to defeat it with a kick, however, Dark Shadow was able to handcuff Ectoplasm with a sneak attack and it was then revealed that Tsu had swallowed the handcuffs immediately prior to being swallowed herself by the Giant Clone. Tsu and Tokoyami's Quirk combination attack allowed them to pass the exam.
After Tsu and Tokoyami was Tenya and Mashirao as they faced off against Power Loader. The ground constantly collapsed in front of them as Power Loader dug through the ground, leaving Tenya to decide that their best course of action would be to escape. Mashirao gets on Tenya's back, feeling rather embarrassed by the way they look during their "fusion". Tenya activated Recipro Burst and outran the traps, leaping over the ground in front of him when it collapsed. Mashirao wrapped his tail around Tenya's leg and the latter uses Recipro Extend to send Mashirao flying towards the escape gate. Power Loader tried to cut Mashirao off, but he was able to keep him at bay with a swipe of his tail and fly through the escape gate, earning his team a passing grade on the practical exam.
