The next day, we were all seated in class again, waiting for what Mr Aizawa had planned today. Everyone was joking around, but I was just sitting by myself watching. I've always been shy, but everyone here seemed so outgoing.
I was about to go talk to Midoriya when ALL MIGHT walked in and told us to get on our hero costumes. ALL MIGHT. He was here.
Anyways, while changing, I noticed everyone's hero costumes were awesome.
"Wow Robaato, your costume is awesome!" exclaimed Kirishima.
While grateful for the compliment, mine didn't really look that cool. It was a blue cobalt armour suit that had blasters on the arms. I requested these to shoot balls so that I could swap people and objects with things and choose their location better. I also had a green visor covering my eyes that let me zoom in on far away locations, also helping my quirk by giving me a longer range. I was going for practicality over looks.
On the other hand, Kirishima didn't have ANYTHING on, and I was trying not to look at how ripped he was. I mean seriously? All he was wearing was this black skirt looking thing and like gears on his arms, and his whole defined chest was exposed. I guess it would distract the villains? Maybe it helped his quirk or something, or maybe he just like showing off his manliness...
Whatever the case, we all followed All Might out to a city similar to the one in the entrance exam. Teams were then randomly chosen. With some stroke of luck, I was with Uraraka.
"Now, in this exam, there are two teams. The heroes, and the villains." All Might explained. "I will now choose the teams, and who they will be fighting."
"Hopefully we don't have to fight anyone strong, I just want to pass this exam..." I thought to myself.
All Might pulled two balls out of a container. They had the letters 'A' and 'D' on it. Of course, I was team A. I looked around for team D and saw a... hotheaded looking person glaring at me, and a tall person in some sort of armour. I remembered they both did well on the quirk apprehension test. This would be tough.
Uraraka and I were the hero team, and the two boys, named Bakugo and Tenya, were the villains.
The objective of the game was to capture the bomb if you were the heroes, or to defend the bomb from the heroes if you were the villains. You could also wrap capture tape we were given around your opponent and they would be removed from the match.
Uraraka and I were given a little time to look at a map of the building and decided the bomb would most likely be on one of the top, more open floors.
Once Bakugo and Tenya were ready, we began.
"Uraraka, can you float us into that window? That is your quirk, right?" I asked.
"Sure, but I'll feel a little bit sick for a while. When I float myself, I start to feel queasy."
Wait, if she floated me up... I could just swap her with something up here! I told her my plan and she agreed that was the best thing to do, as to not make her feel sick for the fight ahead.
After getting inside, we quietly started to make our way to the stairs. So far so good.
Just as I thought this, Bakugo appeared out of nowhere and tried to explode both of us. I quickly dodged, and Uraraka did the same.
We quickly got in fighting position and prepared ourselves.
"Hey, you, pretty boy," he said. "You must think you're the best here, seeing as how you got first on the entrance exam. Well, you're not. I'm going to prove to everyone that I'm the indisputable best at this school!" He shouted. Wow, cocky much?
"Ok, I never said you were worse than me, and I never said I was the best..." I said quietly, but he still heard me.
"Shut up! We'll let our fists decide who's better."
"Uraraka, we need a plan. If you can touch him, we can just leave him here floating." I started. "Then we can go after Tenya and the bomb, ok?" She nodded her head in approval.
I quickly rushed to Bakugo, trying to tackle him so Uraraka had a chance to touch him. Just as I was doing so, I felt a glaring pain in my chest and was blasted backwards, into Uraraka.
"How did you like that? My quirk lets me turns my sweat, which is nitroglycerin, into explosions! It's way better than your crappy quirk." Urgh, just shut up and fight dude.
I quickly pulled Uraraka up, and we backed off, starting to run while I explained my new plan to her.
"Ok, so I just had an idea. If I wrap the captured tape around this barrel and then swap Bakugo with it, we may be able to either capture him or you could touch him. It's the best idea I've got right now."
"Ok, let's do that. I believe in you, Robaato!" Uraraka smiled. My cheeks heated up. Hopefully, she just thought I was tired.
Once the barrel was wrapped in capture tape, we waited until Bakugo arrived.
As soon as I could see him, he began to try to swap him. Just as he saw me raise my arms, he puffed out a small explosion. I couldn't see him anymore. He kept doing this. How did he already know how my quirk works?
Uraraka was standing off to the side, in the hallway he was in. I was standing adjacent to her, about twenty feet away.
We started to hear Bakugo explain something about his costume. He was saying that the grenade looking things on his arm can emit a large explosion that he isn't usually capable of making by storing his sweat in them. Smart.
I started to move out of the way, hoping Uraraka would follow when I heard the pin of the grenade come out. Just then, a huge blast of heat and light came rushing away from Bakugo, straight at Uraraka. What was this guy thinking? This could kill her!
"Uraraka! Dodge!" I shouted, my arm extended, trying to reach her. I was too far though, and I knew that she was going to get blasted. I couldn't let that happen.
In the next moment, I don't know how I did what I did. I extended one hand toward Uraraka, and placed the other on the wrist of my hand and clenched it close like I had done a thousand times before. Instantly, I was right in front of the huge explosion barreling at me.
Before I was hit, I somehow had time to think about a lot of things. How happy I was Uraraka was okay, how I had somehow swapped myself. If I survived, I had to learn how to do that!
Then everything was hot. I felt like I was burning. Walls crumbled, glass shattered. Then I was falling, falling, falling. I hit the ground hard, glass wedging itself into my burnt skin. I didn't know what Uraraka was shouting, or what Bakugo was doing, but I just hoped that somehow we could still win the fight. Maybe if Uraraka went while Bakugo was distracted...
As I was thinking all of this, I finally just fainted into a deep sleep. The last thing I thought of was how much trouble I was going to be in with that weird old lady if I survived.
SN: Robaato's costume looks a lot like Gengi's cobalt skin from Overwatch, just without the helmet. It also has a visor and blasters on the arms.
