Just out of curiosity, do you like the character of Galadriel being used in this story, or would you prefer that the character of Ainz Oal Gown be kept?

Managing to end up in the top 15, Midoriya could see Luffy ejecting several students from his class, before resuming his run.

" Galadriel...Todoroki...Bakugo...Luffy-san...They are all able to use their powers without issue, which allows them to be much more proficient than me. "

Knowing full well what would happen if he tried to use his Quirk, he looked frustrated.

" Why can't I be like them? I can't win against them by continuing to break my bones every time I use ONE FOR ALL . »

Suddenly, feeling the ground shaking, the boy stopped, seeing many giant robots appearing.

"The entrance exam robots?" He wondered.

"[ ARCANE SINGULARITY II ]"

Startled, Midoriya saw Galadriel facing one of the giant robots and pointing at it.

People looking at her saw a strange blue and black spherical figure shoot from her finger. Head towards the mechanical contraption, the huge sphere touching it, before growing in size until it's completely trapped inside.

Like a human, it began to wave its arms to free himself from this sphere. But, quickly, sounds of metal breaking were heard. Stepping back, the high school students who were already in front of the giant robots saw many cracks on the one who was trapped.

Beginning to shrink, the sphere became smaller and smaller, squeezing the metal body hard. Being unable to free itself, the robot became completely compressed inside the sphere, which continued to shrink. It was several meters in diameter. Then, barely five meters in diameter. Quickly, the sphere was the size of a hoop, before having that of an orange... And soon the giant mechanical entity became a small piece of metal on the ground. Everyone seemed amazed at this.

Midoriya wasn't the only one watching directly. Bakugo and Todoroki were as still as he was, as they felt a sense of unease, uncertainty, and dread gripping them. None of them could explain what they had just seen.

But, as if all of this was normal, Galadriel turned and smiled. The trio saw the white-haired girl's smile, as if taunting them, teasing them, and showing what she could do. That she was just stronger than them.

"Boys...here's the limit you can never reach." Galadriel said with a smile.

Suddenly, another robot appeared in front of her, ready to attack her. However, stopping suddenly, the robot turned its gaze towards another person who comes to the current. And, quickly abandoning Galadriel, the metallic being charged at the newcomer.

"Huh?" Luffy wondered, seeing the robot raise its arm, before lowering it in his direction.

"Oh? Do you want to play?"

A second later, the arm slammed hard into the ground, shaking the area.

" LUFFY-SAN ! " Shouted Midoriya.

" He's rubber. " Remember Galadriel. " He should survive the shock! Nevertheless, why didn't he dodge? "

At that moment, the dust settled and all the students and spectators were surprised to see the robot arm being completely immobilized, while Luffy had stopped it with one hand, while simply stretching his fingers.

"You look interesting." He said, smiling. "But you're not worth Franky's robot. GUM GUM ..."

Trying in vain to free its arm, the robot saw him stretch his second arm back before twirling it around.

"RIFLE !" »

Hit in the center of its abdomen, the robot felt its vital core completely disintegrate. It had stopped working before its feet even left the ground and its body hit another robot's, while the power of the blow knocked them backwards.

Standing still, most of the students watched as he brought down the duo, while a single punch was enough.

"Hey... is this a joke?"

"Even if we pass the race, how can we win against this guy? "

Seeing this too, Present Mic let his head hit the table.

"I knew it! Nothing we have can stop a guy whose power rivals All Might's."

Remaining silent, Aizawa simply watched Kaminari and the other students Luffy had fought get up and try to catch up.

" They could have hit them harder and just hurt them! He just pushed them away and focused on his run! As I thought, hurting others is not of his interest at all! like this. "

Letting his arm return to its original size, Luffy noticed that the high schoolers around him had remained still. Wanting to take advantage of it, he resumed his run, not caring at all about the other robots who arrived to try to stop him.

Soon, only Galadriel found herself in front of him, as she simply watched him run in her direction.

" Level 50...he uses the same power he used in the USJ crash! Mosshead has proven to be much more powerful and reaches a level unimaginable for a human! I really don't know if he is capable of 'to be stronger than that or if he thinks this is totally useless ! Is Mugiwara really at his top level? '

However, focusing on what was most important, she used [ARCANE DASH] and disappeared again, rendering Luffy behind her.

"She disappeared again." He remarked, seeing her reappear behind the robots.

Preparing to do the same, Luffy jumped high into the sky, to avoid getting his feet frozen again.

"You again? " He shouted, only to see Todoroki, with half of his body covered in ice.

Not having really targeted him, the boy had simply attacked the robot which was in front of him and had managed to completely immobilize it.

" The other jerk old man is looking at me! I can't let him think I'm weak. "

Raising his gaze, he saw Luffy jump on the robots which, curiously, targeted him. Seemingly unembarrassed by this, Luffy had his arms crossed as he dodged their blows, keeping his eyes closed.

" Galadriel... Mugiwara... none of them seem to be taking this event seriously. " He thought, running between the frozen robot's legs.

Trying to imitate him, several high school students began to scream, seeing the giant robot begin to fall in their direction.

"AHHHHHHH!" they shouted, before a huge deafening noise was heard.

Being on the robot's body, Luffy screamed too. However, before the fall, he stretched his arm towards another robot's face and managed to grab it, before dropping onto its shoulder.

" That is how close it was. "

Then, he saw Todoroki running behind the robots and pursuing Galadriel. Immediately, he jumped up from his perch, just as another robot hit the shoulder of the one Luffy was sitting on.

Unaware of the damage this caused, Luffy lands on the ground, before chasing Todoroki.

" And we already have a top three. " Present Mic affirmed. " First, Nazarick Galadriel! Second, Todoroki Shoto! And third,...Lucy. "

"Avoid drawing attention to him." Aizawa growled.

" It's not my fault ! It's starting to get interesting. »

Hearing three names, while his own remained anonymous, Bakugo felt veins of rage appear on his forehead.

"Who do you think I am? »

Then, without wasting a moment, he uses his explosions to propel himself into the sky.

"Bakugo? " Kirishima wondered, seeing him rush towards the robots.

"How many times should I repeat it? " The boy roared.

Dodging the arms of a robot, he charged towards its face, before creating his most powerful explosion.

"Number 1... IS ME!"

Then, he hit the robot hard and hard. Taking a step back, the metallic being then managed to keep its balance. Unfortunately, cracks appeared in the center of its head and its red eyes eventually faded.

"Yosh!" Bakugo gloated.

However, before he could continue his run, he saw Ida and Tokoyami appear near him, before passing him.

"Thanks for getting rid of him." Ida thanked him.

"Nevertheless, we're in a hurry." Tokoyami assured.

However, no sooner had they taken a few steps than he felt a double explosion hit them, as Bakugo passed them.

"You dummies stay back."

Looking both curious and annoyed, Demiurge affirmed.

"I think I already have an idea of the 64 finalists."

"Surprisingly, the humans who rub shoulders with Galadriel-sama are the ones who stay ahead." Albedo remarked. "They feel much less fear than others. »

"None of this is surprising." Demiurge assured. "These robots are so much weaker than Aura and her creatures or even Nomu, in her base form! After facing such great dangers, I'm sure these robots are a cakewalk for them. »

Starting to smile, he declares.

"This is what allows us to recognize the pawns that Nazarick will need for years to come! Fear is a great way to find out people's motivation! There are those who dread facing him again and decide everything give up! These people have no interest in the future projects of Nazarick! But those who use the effects of fear, to know themselves better, are the ones who can possibly serve us."

Midoriya seemed to be in his own battle, tempted to enter the race without breaking any bones. So far he's been fine, but he realizes he has to use his brains if he wants to win. Armed with an iron plate, belonging to an ancient robot, he uses it to destroy another, while seeing his rivals keeps their first places.

"All these guys, they're amazing."

"WARNING! More robots." Someone shouted, seeing other machines replacing the already destroyed ones. "

" GREEN STAR : SNAKE FIREWORKS ! "

Several projectiles were fired and flew to disappear inside the robots' bodies. Then, within seconds many plants grew on their bodies and the mechanical beings found themselves completely tied up, while the plants seemed to be strong enough to crush them.

"What is it?" Midoriya wondered.

At that moment, walking beside him, while having fun throwing and catching a pop-green in the palm of his hand, Usopp displayed a confident look, while declaring.

"These robots are nothing compared to the many sea monsters that I had to face using a simple toothpick that served as a sword."

Then, he positioned his pop-green on his black-kabuto before throwing the projectile.

" IMPACT WOLF ! "

Unable to move or fight back, one of the robots felt the powerful impact hit it, and it felt its body lean back, before falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Midoriya stood dumbfounded, while Usopp quietly walked towards the robot he had just beaten.

"Becoming a hero of the oceans is not something easy to achieve! I had to face hundreds of monsters much more powerful than these robots! It's the minimum to become a great warrior like me. "

Then, feeling Midoriya's admiring gaze on him, Usopp struggled to hide his conceited, foolish smile.

" I'm so lucky! This is the first time I've been able to behave in such a cool way without being afraid of getting killed! This world is so awesome. "

However, he jumped, hearing several cannon shots, which hit the other robots he had managed to tie up. Having targeted them, Momo created a massive cannon. Then, having no more enemy in front of her, she dropped the weapon, before running between Midoriya and Usopp.

"No matter how strong you are, only the fastest will qualify."

Hearing this, Midoriya and Usopp spotted other people taking advantage of the robots' collapse to catch up, and the duo quickly had to follow suit. Still, looking at Usopp, Midoriya questioned him.

"Excuse me, but... is it your power that makes your weapons so powerful?" »

" Eh ? What ? "

"Are you like Roronoa-san? Is it your physical strength or a particular power that can make normal weapons more powerful than any Quirk? »

"Huh? Not at all! I don't have any special powers! I'm even the weakest of the crew."

Immediately, he clapped his hands over his mouth, feeling stupid for wasting a potential admirer. Still, still running, Midoriya continued to stare at him with bewildered eyes.

"But...how? How can you be so strong...without power?"

Seeing him surprised, Usopp remembered the many people he had met in this world who were devoid of any Quirk.

"I don't know." He confessed. "Two years ago, I was a normal guy, who just knew how to shoot better than other people! But one day, I met the man who is now my captain! He saved my village! ' offered to join him! And above all... he made me the man I've become."

Staring in front of him, as if looking for Luffy, he declares.

"People in your world idolize All Might! And to tell you the truth, I looked at Luffy and the others the same way! To me, they were superhumans while people like me didn't have a chance to match! However, I quickly changed my mind."

Clutching his slingshot, he confessed.

"Many times, I was too weak against an enemy, and it was Luffy and the others who had to intervene to save me! It was after one of these humiliating defeats that I realized that the things couldn't go on like this! And as a result, a choice presented itself before me! Either I could leave the crew and I had to resign myself to remaining weak... or I started to find a way to make useful."

Staring at Midoriya, he declares.

"I don't see how being a hero makes you stronger! Me, the only reason I changed and became stronger is simply to help my people! Nothing more! And today 'today...'

Looking around, he affirmed.

"Perhaps this is a great time to show that people without power are not taxed helplessly."

Midoriya still listened silently. Still, staring at Usopp, he felt a strange feeling. He felt an admiration that was totally different from the one he felt for All Might or Galadriel. He felt an admiration for someone who had managed to match the power of the pro-heroes... with only the help of his own efforts.

Usopp had become someone who could achieve the title of hero...without any Quirks.

" Too cool. "

Continuing to run in the lead, Galadriel cast amused glances behind her, as she saw Todokori create huge walls of ice behind him. However, barely formed, the walls were made completely.

« GATLING ! »

Pulverizing a third wall, Luffy then jumped to save his feet from being frozen from the frozen ground. Having frozen the ground again, Todoroki growled as he saw Luffy rise above the ground.

This time, he created a huge stalagmite, which flew towards Luffy. Seeing this, Luffy simply swung his arms back, before bringing them down on the huge ice structure.

« BAZOOKA ! »

Pulverized, the huge stalagmite shattered into pieces, and Todoroki had to jump back, to avoid being crushed. Still in the air, Luffy took advantage of the blocks of ice that flew above him to bounce off them.

Gaining speed and looking like a real bouncing ball, Luffy eventually propelled himself at full speed and charged towards Galadriel.

"JEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" He shouted, sounding like a real missile.

Seeming deaf, Galadriel didn't seem to notice hs presence. However, as Luffy was about to crash into her, his whole body stopped, while his face was completely crushed.

Turning around, Galadriel couldn't help but giggle, seeing the crushed face of the pirate who had crashed into a magic shield. Then, slowly, his body fell downwards, before falling to the ground.

" Mugiwara… if you want to take me by surprise at least try to be discreet. " She advised him, before resuming her run.

Running, she peacefully resumed what she could consider a jog as the rest of the students fight for their lives. However, Luffy had managed to catch up with her, which had managed to break the monotony of her race.

"It was fun to see him like this but...hopefully he's able to do better."

Then, suddenly, she stopped her race, seeing her next ordeal. She just stared, completely bewildered. She couldn't help herself and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Are they serious about it? " Galadriel said out loud.

" AND... Nazarick Galadriel is the first to arrive at the chute! I can't wait to see what she's up to! "

Hearing Present Mic's screams, Galadriel couldn't help but be slightly annoyed.

" I feel like an animal as one lists every move I make. "

Ahead of her was an area of land that was snaked by huge crevices several meters wide. The only way offered to reach the different platforms was to use the ropes that connected them to each other.

Seeing the huge hole in front of her, Galadriel wondered if she should fly over the obstacle or spend some time using the ropes. However, before they can make up their minds, someone double-crosses her.

" Eh ? »

Spinning his legs like the propellers of a helicopter, Luffy managed to find a way to fly over the hole. Then, turning back to Galadriel, he pulled one of his eyelids, before showing his tongue.

" BAKA ! »

Immediately, a vein of anger appeared behind Galadriel's head, as she jumped over the hole.

« FLY ! »

Continuing to frown at her, Luffy saw her fly towards him. Then, she let her arms cover themselves with wind, she produced powerful currents of air which hit Luffy.

« DRAGON WINGS ! »

Screaming, Luffy felt the gusts of winds propelling him high in the sky. However, managing to regain his balance, he glanced down and saw Galadriel hovering over the second obstacle. Putting one foot to the other side, she turned to him and, despite being watched, she couldn't help but behave as immature as he did.

"BAKA!" She said, making the same grimace as him.

Immediately, feeling clouds of steam coming out of his ears, Luffy groaned, before rushing to his location. Then, putting his feet on the ground, he already saw her running far ahead of him, and he imitated her.
