The group of five walked to UA.
They eventually looked on at the steps to the entrance and Rorabi took a deep breath.
"This is it. We only got this one chance to prove ourselves. I don't want to be held back by General Education."
They began to walk up the steps, and not long after they started, someone in the form of a monkey passed by them, nearly knocking over Wolfgang.
"WATCH IT MONKEY!" he shouted after it.
"Sorry!" the monkey responded without slowing down.
Regathering his composure, he gave the others a hard glare.
"ANY of you mention this to ANYONE-"
The four gave an obedient nod before starting again and went to the auditorium where people applying for the Heroics Department was going to go.
Sitting next to each other, they looked ahead to what they were assuming to be one of the teachers getting on stage.
"Alright, potential heroes! This is fellow UA teacher Stormwind speaking!"
His voice boomed throughout the auditorium.
"For many years we have been accepting of students of many different kinds of quirks. Remember the legendary class 1-A?"
The entire auditorium was filled with whispers as people began talking about the different heroes that came out of it, including the famous Deku and Kacchan.
"Well, what more can we say, our parents came from that class!" Atisu remarked.
They heard a familiar voice.
"Wait so you parents are class 1-A graduates? That's so cool!"
The group turned around to see the same monkey that passed by them a while ago.
His face then changed to that of embarrassment.
"Were you the one I knocked down? Sorry about that!" he told Wolfgang.
He simply grumbled and turned back towards the front.
"What's your name?" Rorabi asked.
"It's Monchi, Sato Monchi. Nice to meet ya!" he enthusiastically held out his hand, unaware that he was about to fall into their aisle below.
Pushing him back, they each shook his hand.
"I'm Iida Rorabi, and this is Midoriya Hikasu and Semei."
"I'm Todoroki Atisu, and that wolf over there is Bakugou Wolfgang."
He turned his head to make eye contact with Monchi.
"...Nice to meet you." he grumbled.
They all turned toward the front and looked at Stormwind.
"This year for the Heroics exam, we're bringing back our robots for all of you to fight against. They each have a certain amount of points you can collect once you disable them. Compared to other years though, they will have a few modifications. Don't worry though, I have full confidence that you will all do amazing! Take a good look at the flyer you were given and your exam ticket, that contains the arena you guys will participate in."
The twins got stuck together with Rorabi, while Wolfgang, Atisu and Monchi got stuck in another arena.
They wished each other luck before getting on the bus that will take them to their assigned arena.
"Are you ready for this guys?" Hikasu asked.
The other two looked down, uncertain of what to think.
They all know how competitive it can get considering how popular UA is.
The trio decided it would be best to stick together at all times so it increases the likelyhood of them getting the same amount of points.
Once they got off, what they saw was an enormous wall, with an enormous gate to allow them in.
Looking around, kids with various kinds of quirks were spotted together.
Something that caught their eyes in particular was two of them: one that seems to be fixing a red blade and another one using a blue screen.
The two noticed them and immediately disabled their quirks.
Turning their attention back to the gate, they readied themselves and waited for the signal to begin.
The speakers suddenly boomed as Stormwind started to speak.
"Alright kids, we're going to open the gates in 3..."
They got into a racing position.
"2..."
Semei grabbed his dagger concealed in his robe.
"1..."
Hikasu got her fingers ready and Rorabi made her rollerblades appear under her feet.
"BEGIN!" he shouted as the gates opened.
It didn't take any time for the kids to stampede towards the entrance.
The three tried not to get separated from each other in the crowd.
"Remember, the start of the exam is going to be chaotic, so remember to stick together if any of you are stuck in the same arena together. You're more powerful in numbers." Eijiro advised.
Rorabi grabbed the twins and quickly took themselves to a safe spot to assess the area.
What they were able to see was someone with a bird-like quirk in the sky and someone with a spider-like quirk on top of a building.
"This is going to be hard, and we need to be fast with coming up with a plan or there won't be anymore robots to fight..."
Semei was thinking for a second.
"Rorabi, you're able to get around fast due to your rollerblades, so you can separate and at least grab points for yourself. If either of us need you, we can flare you using this flare gun. Hikasu also has the ability with her own quirk."
After thinking for a bit, she gave a nod.
"Alright, I guess we don't have much of a choice in that regard, but please gain the points to qualify."
The three split up, looking around for robots to fight.
They eventually encountered one.
"Scanning... applicant Midoriya Semei. Quirk: Quirkless. Preparing on-the-fly combat."
The robot cautiously charged towards him, and he simply jumped on top of it.
He took out his dagger and began to stab the back of it until it wasn't functioning.
"That one was a 10-pointer. If we're going to have a chance, we're going to have to hurry." he told Hikasu.
One by one, they began to rack up points.
Hikasu would sneak up to robots, light a finger, and simply apply pressure to one spot on the robot.
She then amplified the flames to a point where the robot malfunctioned and she earned the points from it.
Semei would use various weapons so he wouldn't be very predictable.
In the observation room, a man with blond hair was observing them.
"What do you think?" Izuku asked.
"Deku, you and Uraraka raised a couple nice kids there." he pointed out with a smile.
"They got the potential for it, like that Rorabi girl on that other screen." another woman pointed out.
With a flare that Hikasu made, she launched it into the sky and Rorabi showed up a few minutes later.
"How many points do you have? I have 30!"
"Same." they said in unison.
As they were looking around though, it became apparent to them that the others were gaining more than 30 points.
"How are we going to beat that?!" Rorabi complained.
They eventually saw the boy with the blue screen from earlier track down a couple robots with the other boy with the red blade as they each took out one, one using his blade to stab it and the other using his eyes to trick it into slamming into a wall.
"Now, that's 45 for each of us." the boy with the screen told his partner.
"Thanks Leo. I'm going to get a few more on my own and I'll meet with you later!" the boy told Leo as he ran off.
Knowing they were going to have to approach Leo eventually, they began to walk towards him.
Just as they were about to reach him, an enormous robot suddenly appeared, knocking over the buildings and trapping Leo's body under rubble.
The walking turned into running as they went to check on Leo as the other kids were running away.
"Izuku, remember when that was us?" Ochako asked.
He looked on at the screen with the group of 4 staring at the giant robot.
"I know."
Rorabi was the first to reach him.
"Are you hurt? You're name is Leo, right?"
"Yes, it is. While I'm not hurt, I am stuck so I can't really escape this thing right there." he motioned his head toward the robot.
"However, there is a way to destroy it, as long as I use my eyes to see it. My quirk is Vision Manipulation, so while actually manipulating this thing's eyesight might get us all killed, I can also find very discreet weak points in it that any of you can use."
"I got an idea. Semei, you are going to attack the feet to potentially immobilize it while Leo looks for any other potential weak points. Rorabi, you're going to use your speed to launch me."
Knowing there wasn't any room to argue, Semei discreetly approached the robots feet and took out two blades.
Grabbing Hikasu's hand, she began to spin in a small circle and threw her.
Leo activated his quirk as a pair of blue lights appeared in front of both of their eyes as he began to skim the robot.
He focused his attention towards the face.
Igniting her fingertip, she made a fist.
The fist also caught on fire as she landed the blow on the robot's head.
She then shouted the first thing that came to mind.
"DETROOOOIIIT SMAAAASH!"
The robot's head burst, and for a moment they were relieved.
Semei then realized what she said.
"Sis, you are not dad."
She slightly grew red and giggled in embarressment.
The other kids, including the one with the red blade, stared at the wreckage.
"So how many points do they get Mirio?" the woman asked.
"If it makes you feel better Eri, then they each get 50 points added to their score."
Taking out a blaster, Semei blasted away the rubble freeing Leo.
He stood up.
"TIME'S UP!" they heard Stormwind shout from the speakers.
They began to walk to the entrance to the buses when they were caught by a woman they haven't seen before.
"Excuse me kids, please let me treat your wounds!" she told them as she held up a first-aid box.
One by one, they got patched up.
"Can we get your name?" Leo asked.
"You can just call me Nurse Eri. No last name or anything!" she assured them.
With surprised looks, they introduced themselves.
"Based on what I was able to see, you four work rather well together!"
On that note, they took the bus back to the school, all without seeing the boy with the red blade.
"Hey Leo, who was that other dude following you?" Hikasu asked.
"Oh, him? His name is Shinso Kensuki. We're fairly close friends, and his quirk is a rather interesting one, it's Blood Manipulation. As for where he is, I don't know."
Once they got off of the bus, they saw the other 3 waiting for them.
"How did your robot hunt go?" Rorabi asked them.
With a glare Atisu stared at the other two.
"These two have very clashing personalities, but we were able to at least squeeze in 70 points each. And yourselves?"
The other four didn't know how to respond.
"The three of us got 30 points each, and this dude has 45!" Hikasu motioned to Leo.
The other 3 noticed him and introduced themselves.
"Sorry we didn't introduce ourselves earlier, I'm Todoroki Atisu, and that's Bakugou Wolfgang and Sato Monchi."
"Aoyama Leo. Anyway, I have to say that I'm very grateful of your friends, they saved my life!"
After they explained what happened to them in the arena, they stared in surprise.
"I should have been there, I could have pummeled that robot!" Wolfgang complained.
Knowing there wasn't more they can do, they headed home and hoped that they were able to get accepted into the Heroics Department.
