Walking up to the gates of UA with his friends at his sides, Nanashi feels a crooked grin creep onto his face. Here he is, standing in front of the place that will, hopefully, bring their group of friends back together. As the three of them make their way to their seats, Nanashi shoots a glare at Bakugou, who is unfortunately in their section.

Before anyone can start anything, the Pro Hero Present Mic walks out onto the stage in the front, drawing everyone's attention. With practiced ease, the Hero addresses the gathered audience.

"Welcome listeners to the UA Practical Exam Explanation! Thanks for tuning in! Now, everybody say HEY!"

Absolute silence.

The Pro chuckles, "That's fine too. Anyway, let's get this thing started! YEAH!"

Not even a chirping cricket.

The Hero is unperturbed by this, "So, here's the low down. You'll all be separated into one of several testing locations and given twenty minutes to complete the test. During your alloted time, you'll be tasked with using your awesome Quirks to decimate as many of our Faux-Villain Bots as you can! Each is given a separate point value, ranging from one to three. By the way, any unheroic behaviors during the test will cause an automatic disqualification! Any questions?"

A tall boy with blue hair stands, hand raised, "Sir! On the packet handed out at the door, it says that there are four Villain types, not three! If this is a mistake, it reflects quite poorly on UA! And you!" He turns and points directly at Midoriya, who had been muttering to himself during Mic's speech, "Cease your muttering this instant! It is quite rude and distracting!"

Before anything else can be said, Mic reels everyone's attention back in, "An excellent question examinee number 7111! The fourth Villain is worth Zero points! It's basically just an obstacle! Watch out though, it'll go crazy in tight spaces!"

Present Mic clears his throat, "With all that said, it's almost time for you kids to get out there! I have a small parting gift for you all though! Our wonderful school motto! As the Hero Napoleon once said, 'True Heroism is being superior to all the ills of life', so go beyond, Plus Ultra!"

When the Hero finishes up, all the students disperse and head to their separate exam sites. Much to Nanashi's displeasure, none of his friends are with him. Though, he supposes that makes sense, this is an exam for individuals, not teams.

Finally arriving at the site, Nanashi opens a small bag he had brought with him and pulls out a single item, a sword. It's certainly no Ame-no-habakiri, but it's a decent blade that Nanashi intends to use until a better one can be forged. Belting on the sword, Nanashi stands in front of the gate waiting for the go ahead.

He doesn't have to wait long, as Present Mic suddenly shouts, "GO!"

Not waiting for anyone else, Nanashi runs in immediately, drawing his sword and dashing at a One-Pointer. Before the robot can even fully turn to face him, he slices through it's neck and keeps running. Seeing a Three-Pointer approaching, he gestures at it with his left hand and recalls the power he had re-obtained after months of training. Demon Whisper.

With a small rush of energy, he calls out, "Agilao!"

The robot goes up in flames, melting as he finds another One-Pointer and bisects it.

(Observation Room)

The staff of UA are currently watching the different testing sites intently. Several students have already caught their eye. Mezo Shoji, for his information gathering abilities, Tenya Iida, for his ability to stay calm under pressure, Bakugou Katsuki, for his pure combat ability, Nanashi, for his wide range of skills and pure efficiency, Hallelujah, for his surprising kindness despite the treatment he must have obtained due to the appearance his Quirk gives him, and Asahi, for being able to dismantle robots with just a small blade while racking up the most rescue points in the school's history with her healing abilities.

In the mind of Nezu, all of them are excellent candidates for enrollment in his school. They exemplify many important aspects of Heroics, and all have the potential to learn from and teach eachother to cover for areas where they may be lacking.

Most of the staff are on the same track as Nezu, but one in particular, a skeletal blonde man in a suit, is watching one student in particular with baited breath. The student has done nothing in particular to stand out so far, in fact he has no points in the slightest, but the man hopes with all his heart the boy will pass.

Nezu suddenly lets out a cackle, "It would seem it's that time again! Let's see how this year's batch handles the 'obstacle'!"

He presses a large red button, and all hell breaks loose in the testing sites.

(Nanashi)

The ground begins to shake violently, and a building is demolished as something huge begins moving throughout the false city. Looking around, Nanashi catches sight of it and smirks.

Running towards the hulking robot, Nanashi thinks to himself, 'That's the Zero-Pointer, huh? Not bad, but Shesha was far more intimidating.'

Nanashi knows he's about to do something stupid, but he doesn't care, he'll deal with the consequences later. During his training, he had reinstated most of his demon contracts, slowly building his powers back up. However, his body doesn't have the stamina to sustain some of the more powerful ones for very long, even being incapable of summoning the most powerful. His plan is simple, summon one of the most powerful demons he can manage at the moment, and have it go all out while he casts his most powerful fire spell.

Reaching for the demon he has in mind, Nanashi calls it forth, "Lord Nan Dou!"

Running forth as the old man wreathed in flames appears, Nanashi directs his demon to flank the Zero-pointer as they prepare their abilities.

Nanashi calls put to Nan Dou, "Cast Berserker God!"

As the demon moves to comply, Nanashi throws out his hand and shouts, "Agidyne!"

As Lord Nan Dou begins wreaking havoc on the Zero-pointer, a massive geyser of flame erupts from within it, melting and warping the delicate circuitry as it's outer shell is torn apart. The robots power sputters before dying out, the damage it's sustained being too great to continue functioning.

With a tired smirk, Nanashi unsummons Lord Nan Dou, before falling to his knees, only his sword preventing him from face planting.

(Observation Room)

Nezu can't help himself, he devolves into a fit of mad laughter. Not only had one student destroyed the Zero-Pointer, but another had as well, the second earning a sizable amount of rescue points for doing it to rescue another applicant. Nezu is quite sure that both are getting in, and he can't wait to see how the year will turn out with those two around!

In the back, a man in all black with an odd scarf just lets out a groan. He's fairly certain both of those problem children will be in his class.
