Mera on the speakers says, "Let's see. The 62nd person has passed the exam." Mera sighs before continuing, "Another 38, and it'll finally be over."

Shindo hiding behind a rock says, "All right, guys. Let's think about our situation. At the beginning of the test, we focused on attacking UA, splitting them up and putting them in check right off the bat. But now our school's going after them in two groups. But a bunch of other classes took advantage of our work. And we're at the final stage of the test. So everyone's fighting at max levels, and the arena's full of chaos. It's a warzone!"

Nakagame says to Shindo, "Your attack kinda backfired. We didn't take out any of those kids."

Shindo says, "I mean, I know I was rushing, but if you really think about it, this is a pretty good place to be in. As long as we don't freak out, we can take advantage of the current state of the exam and the desperate players involved." He hmphs and continues, "Right now, all anyone can think about is the number of slots left, so they're panicking and no doubt being careless. Burning through stamina. They've got tunnel vision, and are focusing on UA, since they have the most intel on them, which means that we can lie in wait until the perfect moment to strike. We've basically already passed the test."

Nakagame says, "It's about time you stopped pretending to be so nice. Honestly. You're too sneaky, yo."

Shindo stands up and says, "I'd prefer to be called 'tactful'. Besides, if we swoop in at the eleventh hour and make it a good show, it'll prove we have an indomitable spirit. Everyone taking this exam is struggling to live up to their own ideals. I respect that. But unfortunately, I can't go easy on 'em."

Bakugo and Kaminari stand together facing Shishikura from Shiketsu. While Eijiro lays in a weird flesh blob at Shishikura's feet.

Shishikura says, "UA High. I have respect for your school. I take pride in the fact that our institutions are treated as equals." He crouches down a bit as he continues, "But your class is shameful." He activates his Quirk saying, "You act in ways that disgrace heroes."

Kaminari watching from slightly behind Bakugo says, "He's attacking again! I don't wanna be gross!"

Bakugo turning only slightly since he's focused on Shishikura says slightly frustrated, "Shut up!" Bakugo focuses completely on Shishikura in front of him as he continues getting ready to attack or defend whichever is needed and says, "'Obligation'? 'Dignity'? You just like to hear yourself talk. I don't see any proof. Show us with your actions, not your cheap words. If you can."

Shishikura getting ready to release his attack says, "Beast. You're worst of all, Bakugo!" Shishikura's attack goes forward towards Bakugo and Kaminari.

Bakugo getting ready with his ultimate move says, "AP Shot. Auto-Cannon!"

Shishikura grunts as Bakugo's attack reduced his attack to nothing.

Bakugo says smirking, "I had to make a weak version so I didn't kill anyone."

Kaminari in shock and scared behind him says, "You know what, this is why everyone's terrified of you - you're way too hardcore!"

Shishikura starts bringing in his Quirk muttering, "Dammit. I can't believe I fell for that. But I won't again."

Kaminari having been watching Shishikura bring his Quirk back in says, "So those nasty finger things just float back to him?"

Shishikura mutters to himself, "He's the type who reacts impulsively to a simple provocation. This sort of mentality comes from an inflated sense of pride." Shishikura looks up at Bakugo and Kaminari and says louder so they can hear, "I see now." He uses his Quirk again and continues, "I'll teach you a lesson by breaking you. This will show you what it means to be dignified and behave like a hero!"

Kaminari says, "What is up with this disgusting dude?"

Bakugo says, "He thinks he's better than us." Bakugo starts running towards him saying, "But I bet he'll shut up when I..."

Kaminari calls behind him, "Hey, wait, don't forget that we're in the middle of a test!"

Bakugo says, "That's exactly why I'll kill this guy!"

Shishikura says, "Absurd!" He flings his Quirk at Bakugo who easily shoots Shishikura's Quirk reducing it. A big one almost gets to Bakugo but he throws a blast at it too.

Kaminari behind Bakugo says, "Ugh. Let's just get this fight over with." He loads things in his shooter and shoots them forward as he continues, "Maybe this'll speed things along."

Kaminari's shot almost hits Shishikura but he dodges just in time. Shishikura says, "You should work on your aim."

Kaminari seeing and hearing him goes, "Ah - Aw, crap!"

Shishikura says, "And your look. Maybe I can make you something more appealing."

Bakugo making one concentrated point says, "Enough talk. Die!"

Shishikura's Quirk explodes as Bakugo's explosion makes a hit but when the smoke disappears Shishikura comes out from behind a wall of his Quirk and says, "You've left yourself open."

A blob connects with the back of Bakugo's neck making Bakugo gasp and say looking at it, "What the-?"

Shishikura says narrowing his eyes at him, "You weren't paying attention. I had a piece of flesh sneak beneath us. You saw. Earlier with Kirishima. Once I touch you, you're my play thing."

Kaminari runs forward yelling, "Bakugo!"

Bakugo says, "Hey! Idiot! Fix this!" Bakugo throws something at Kaminari who grabs it out of the air gasping. Bakugo goes into the flesh blob and joins looking like Eijiro for now.

Shishikura says, "Pathetic. You must be remade from scratch."

Shiketsu High School. Second year. Seiji Shishikura. His Quirk: Meatball! He can reshape flesh by massaging it. For someone else's body, he can only knead it and make it a ball. But, his own flesh is more versatile! For example he can cut it off, manipulate it, or make controllable objects. It's as handy as it is horrifying!

Kaminari says looking at Bakugo as a flesh blob, "No way!"

Shishikura says looking at Kaminari, "This is a demonstration. The test has an unusually low passing rate. At first this seemed counterintuitive given our current world. With All Might retired, wouldn't it make more sense to flood the streets with heroes? And so, I must assume that their goal is to weed out the riffraff. We can surmise that they're starting to be more selective in order to bring the profession of hero to a higher level. And I agree with this way of thinking. So I decided to thin the herd myself."

Kaminari says, "You're ignoring the test because you think you're superior? What are you, a crazy person?"

Shishikura says, "I'm simply separating the mediocre and extraordinary." He steps on Eijiro's blob and continues, "By the way, your comrades here still feel pain in this form. Your untamed electricity will torture your friends if you use it."

Kaminari sighs, putting a hand to his forehead, and says, "Ugh. You've been doing nothing but hurling insults at us this entire time. I'm kinda starting to take it personally, ya know." Kaminari is also feeling around in his pocket at the same time.

Shishikura getting ready to fling flesh blobs at Kaminari says, "Then perhaps you are more self-aware than I thought. I'd take time to reflect on your failure." Shishikura flings his flesh blobs at Kaminari.

Kaminari flings what was in his pocket and mutters, "How 'bout you reflect on this!"

Shishikura grunts being flung backwards from an explosion. Shishikura mutters, "An explosion? But I stopped Bakugo." He gasps as the smoke starts clearing and mutters, "His equipment?"

Kaminari dodges a flesh blob that comes at him and says, "Those ugly-ass gauntlets of his aren't just some kind of fashion statement. He can use that gear along with his nitro sweat to create simple grenades."

Shishikura gasps and says, "That's it! He tossed it to you."

Kaminari says, "By the way, big shot." Kaminari points at Shishikura having been watching closely. Kaminari continues with electricity on his arm, "You've stumbled into a really killer spot." Kaminari shoots electricity out of his finger at the things he shot earlier and goes through Shishikura causing him to yell as he gets shocked.

Kaminari starts remembering when he asked the development studio for help on his costume.

Power Loader asks, "Sharpshooting?"

Kaminari says, "I can't really manipulate electricity, so it gets hard to fight with other people around. Do you think you could help me with that?"

Power Loader says, "I've got a solution to your problem, I think. We're calling it a pointer and shooter."

Hatsume beside Power Loader says, "It's a genius baby the two of us collaborated on! Fire with the pointer and set to 'Shooter', and the projectile will stick on impact. As long as you're within ten meters of the spot you've tagged, your electricity will be gathered in a single line. If you have multiple targets, then you can use the dial to select them. The attached scope will help you lock on to their exact locations."

Kaminari looking at the thing on his arm says, "Uh...You mean it requires a lot of thinking?"

Hatsume puts up a thumbs up giggling.

Kaminari looks at the shooter and says, "But if I fight with this, then I won't run the risk of zapping my teammates, will I?"

Back to present, Shishikura lands on the ground with electricity running through him grunting.

Kaminari mutters and says, "I understand, Bakugo. You stopped our opponent's attacks using your smaller range new move instead of a big explosion. Not because you were testing it out, but so you wouldn't hit me or Kirishima. You actually had us on your mind." Kaminari says to Shishikura louder, "Listen up. Bakugo might seem like a total jerk on the surface, but he's actually trying really hard to be a pro hero." Bakugo's flesh blob starts getting bigger as Kaminari continues, "He threw that grenade to me while being attacked. That was the result of calm judgment and planning." Kirishima's flesh blob started doing the same as Kaminari continues on, "And Kirishima is such a good dude that he rushed into enemy territory for his friends, even though it was a totally stupid thing to do."

Shishikura mutters while he watches Bakugo and Eijiro's blobs move and get bigger, "Blast. I lost my hold on them for a second."

Kaminari says, "You only know bits and pieces of information about these guys. Don't insult what you don't know!" Kaminari gets ready to put out more electricity as Shishikura gets ready to attack with his Quirk.

Shishikura says, "I'll teach you to be more aware of your place." Shishikura flings his Quirk forward yelling, "You degenerate!"

Eijiro punches Shishikura in the stomach as he comes up. Bakugo comes behind Eijiro and puts a blast on Shishikura causing him to groan.

Eijiro says, "The more damage he takes, the more people get released."

Bakugo says, "No wonder he was only using long-distance attacks."

Eijiro looks back at Kaminari and says, "Thanks for the save, Kaminari."

Bakugo says, "You idiot. What took so long?"

Kaminari asks, "Why are you so mean? No one's ever gonna like you if you act that way!" Kaminari gasps and says, "Whoa, look behind you!" All the other flesh blobs became people as well. Kaminari continues, "Those other fleshballs are all waking up."

Bakugo licks his lips and says, "We've got targets."

In the anteroom, most of the examinees who have passed are chattering.

Mera comes on the speakers saying, "Currently 70 people have passed. Thirty more and we'll be done."

Shoto and I sit together and Shoto mutters, "What about our classmates? Maybe the information everyone had on us did them in." Shoto and I look up at hearing clicking and we see Momo, Jiro, Tsu, and Shoji.

Momo gasps seeing us and says, "Good, I'm glad to see you passed, Todoroki and Cara." I quickly hugged Momo glad she did as well.

Tsu says looking at us, "I didn't doubt either of you."

Jiro asks, "Have you seen the others?"

Shoto says, "No. So far we're the only ones here. I just arrived."

I say, "I came around the same time Shoto did. I passed way before actually just as Shindo split us all up that's the only reason I decided to go then instead of waiting but I went to the stands with Dad. I do know Sero, Ochaco, and Izuku are together. As are Kaminari, Eijiro, and Bakugo. As well as Mina, Mineta, Ojiro, and Hagakure. And Sato, Tokoyami, and Koda. From what I saw I think Tenya left a group to find others to bring them. Aoyama is the only separate one though I hope that Tenya found him to be honest as Aoyama will need someone at least."

Shoji says, "We can't count them out."

Shoto says, "I thought Midoriya had everyone working together."

Momo says, "That was the plan, but someone from Ketsubutsu Academy split us up with his Quirk."

I say, "It was Shindo. That's what the earthquake thing was."

Jiro says, "Just 30 spots left."

Tsu says, "I hope everyone in our class passes."

I look around the room at the ones who have passed but still don't see any of our classmates.

Back in the collapse zone because of Shindo's Quirk, Izuku runs to be a decoy. Sero runs after him as others chase them.

Izuku says looking behind him at Sero, "Faster, Sero!"

Sero says, "Midoriya! Carry me and jump!"

Izuku says, "Uh!"

Sero says, "Just do it!"

Izuku picks Sero up bridal style and jumps into the air.

Sero calls out, "You're up, Uraraka!"

Ochaco says putting her fingers together, "Release!"

Rocks floating with strands of Sero's tape drop to the ground and as the examinees look up at the rocks coming towards them, they yelp. When the rocks hit the ground a good portion of the examinees are trapped.

An examinee says, "Tape? Seriously?"

Another says, "They stuck boulders on the ends and trapped us!"

A loose examinee gets up and says, "Not me!" Sero is quick to wrap that one in tape causing the examinee to say, "Wh-What?"

Sero says, "I gave some tape to Uraraka and had her set some snares for us."

Izuku says looking, "Oh, whoa. I said to get as many as possible, but this is nuts."

Ochaco goes to them and says, "In order to make sure that no one was in a spot where they'd be crushed by the debris. I hid and figured out the perfect timing."

Mera says on the speaker, "Looks like 76 people have passed at this point. We'll be at capacity soon."

Sero says, "We don't have much time, and I'm sure others will come for us soon." Sero grabs his ball as does Izuku and Ochaco and continues, "Let's take 'em out."

Another guy says, "You guys are first years, right? C'mon, can't you give us a break? We have to earn our provisional hero licenses this time around."

Izuku pauses but touches his ball to his target and says, "I'm sorry but so do I."
