"Mam, it's going to be alright, the heroes are here to help." She reassured the civilian. The surprise villain, THANK YOU TEST, had made everyone on edge. "I'll be sure to stay right by your side the entire time."

"Thank you!" The lady 'thanked'. With how hectic everything was getting, Toru almost forgot that this was a test. She wished she could do more than comfort, but her light refraction only did so much damage.

"These people never know when to stop torturing us!" Mineta complained, his head starting to bleed from throwing so many sticky balls.

"Just keep throwing and trap anybody that gets too close." She turned to Iruma-kun, who was just looking at the group of villains approaching. "They're coming, stay on guard. They may shoot water at us like actual whales."

"Suzuki…" Iida started. "I know this likely comes from some sort of personal experience, but you should be aware they're not actually…"

"THEY SHOOT WATER!" Mina was spraying her acid cannon at a minion, who was indeed spraying water right at it. "It's ruining my acid's effectiveness!"

"Why are you shooting water!?" Toru screamed at the villains.

"We were out of cement to bottle you guys in, this is the best we can do on short notice!" Cement…did these guys WANT to be actual villains!? There was only so much acting that you can get away with! "Right now the only ones with the stuff are by the boss, but he's held up taking out a couple of low lives. So we'll make it easy on him."

"Stay back, I'm not afraid to use this!" Iruma-kun … wiggled a finger at them.

"Oh, what are you gonna do kid, shoot a finger gun at me?"

"CLAW PISTOL" The boy fired a shot from his finger, wind shaped into a claw as it pierced through their weapon like a bullet.

"Holy shit he has a finger gun!" The minion screamed in terror. "I knew we should've gone for dart guns!"

"What the fu..when the heck do you learn that?!" Mineta yelled.

"I just tried doing the wind blasts with my finger since I can use about thirty spoonfuls with the mid claws, but then it turned the air into a spike." How was it that Iruma-kun got both cooler and cuter with every passing day? It should be impossible, but here he was, proving her wrong, and she couldn't be happier for it.

"Go out there, Iruma-kun! We'll watch the civilians! You focus all your attention on whale hunting." He was the strongest in class and at the end of the day, this was a test. She didn't need to protect him…not too much that is, but that bitch Toga wasn't around here at the moment, so everything should be relatively good for now.

Shindo placed his hands on the ground, causing it to rumble and shake the many enemies ahead of him. He would have gone after Gang Orca, but the guy ran into the city, leaving him with nothing but lots of mooks. Just his day.

This year's provisional exam wasn't going anywhere he thought it was. Sure, it was a gamble to take advantage of the first years at U.A considering their experience thus far, but he thought at least one or two of them would've been taken out by them. No, instead they all made it to the second half while only him and two others from Ketsubetsu made it this far.

It was downright insulting. So what if their school wasn't up with the greats, they worked just as hard, learned just as much. It must have been all that cushy money they made, the jerks. Now here he was being forced to give his all just to hold out some guys, because there was no other hero nearby.

"Stay back, stay back damn it!" He repeatedly used his quirk on the ground, sending minion after minion tumbling back. It seemed for every mock villain they took out, three more were ready to take their place. He knew Gang Orca was a famous hero, but how many guys did he have working for him?

"Stand back everyone! The marine three are here!" The mooks began cheering as three guys with the same costumes, but more stylized and unique, walked up to them. "We'll make it showy, like the good old pirates used to do."

"Wait, then why are we calling ourselves Marines? Aren't they like the opposite of Pirates?"

"Hey, I thought we were privateers. You know, double agents and everything and faking our flags?"

"There's no honor in faking a flag! Why would you do that?" They weren't very organized, were they?

"Let's talk about this later! You know, when we're not covering teenagers in cement." Cover in wha-HEY!

"I-I can't move!" He got so distracted by the stupid conversation that he didn't react to their blasters in time. It was quick drying too. Damn it, that was going to cost him a lot of points, and if he didn't move soon, he would fail in no time at all. "Can anybody help me out of here!?"

"I've got you!" Not you, you UA bastard! And worst of all it was the look alike that broke him out of his prison. This guy had the gall to make people think he was him, had the gall to be more famous and powerful than him, and insult their teacher! Ms Joke was an amazing teacher!

"Like we'll let you!" The Marine three or whatever they called themselves aimed their cement blasters at the wolf kid. Even if he was strong, the cement was going to be tough to break out of.

"Super Smack!" The kid clapped his hands together, blowing the cement away from him before it had the chance to reach them.

"Looks like we'll have to kick it up a notch … Urchin Nail Gun!" One of them began growing spines, shooting them at Suzuki. Seriously? How dedicated did they need to be for these roles!?

The boy grabbed two of the spines, dodging the rest as he threw them back. "Why would you do that? Urchins aren't edible you monster!" What the hell did that have to do with anything? "I got the guns, you get the rest."

"What makes you think we should work toge-"

"Oyster cannon!" The kid he hated just grabbed a pearl that would have hit his gut like a cannonball.

"Hey, we're going non lethal, not outright murder!"

"The blue one could have taken it!"

"...Fine, but this doesn't mean I have to like you now." Shindo grumbled.

"The point is to survive and save people. That doesn't mean we all have to be friends, even if that would make things easier." Well at least they could agree on that.

Yanagi moved all the dangerous glass from the surrounding area, along with rubble small enough for her quirk to effect. If the situation called for it, she double teamed with Kodai and her cute pinchable cheeks. "I've cleared away the debri. We're free to lift the roof up."

"Good." Kendo nodded. "Gevaudan, you and Phantom Thief work together with Emily to leave it up."

"Right then." Monoma tapped the beast man's arm, growing fur and grunting with a growl. "Push rock hard." If only they had a camera. It was rare for Monoma to act stupider than he already was.

"There there mister, we'll help you find your female child." Pony patted an adult civilian they found. These costumes were pretty decent, if creepy. Just how she liked it.

"Plamo, the bridge looks pretty unstable, cover up every crack you can find." Kendo entrusted the glue quirk user.

"I'm on it, Battle Fist!" The boy shouted, spewing glue out and patting it down. "Gonna fix you up just like me pots." Would Monoma act twice as stupid if he copied Bondo's quirk as well as Shishida's?

"I'll help you big guy." Awase was in his element, welding small objects together to the bridge to increase support and stability.. In this environment, his quirk could be very vital.

"Maria is holding up another structure with Comicman, Lizardy is on lookout for anyone in trouble, Rocketti is on air support … I feel we have this covered." Despite not being a recommended student, Kendo was still the smartest in the class. It was incredible how well she thought out plans ahead and on the fly.

"Emily … Rocks … Move." She nodded, helping the quiet girl as she shrunk rocks, her size limit nothing with them as they were. "And release …" The girl looked wobbly, she held her up. "Okay …"

"I know, you did good, Rule." She kissed the girl's cheek, enjoying her embarrassed blush. "Rest for a bit, we can handle the rest for a while." 1-A was probably having it just as easy if their recent successes were anything to go by.

"Fuck off you piece of shit, I can handle this asshole of a villain." Insa glared at the boy he was 'technically' teaming up with. Already focused more on villains then he was the people he saved. "You're shitty wind's just going to get in the way."

"And here I thought you were more of a silent asshole. Guess that's something you don't have in common with your father." Insa rolled his eyes as he sent his wind anyway. "Stop using your fire, it's getting in my way!"

"Stop bringing up Endeavor then, you son of a bitch! He has nothing to do with this!" Todoroki's fire made all of his wind rise, making it completely miss the villains it was supposed to send flying away.

"Maybe if you stopped using your fire and started using your ice, maybe i'd be less inclined to make the comparison!" He shouted back, trying to keep up with the pro hero by sending air blasts.

"It's not his quirk, it's mine. I was born with fire and ice, they're my powers!" Todoroki only doubled his efforts using that damn left side of his. "And I use my quirk when I want, however I fucking want! No one, especially an asshole like you,decides for me!"

"So I take it you're both just going to be babies about this exam, am I right?" The villain shouted, jumping in front of Todoroki and letting out a sonic pulse in front of his face. The boy looked shocked before falling flat onto the ground.

"Can't … move …" Serves the bastard right. That hatred, that spite, an anger that threatened to burn down the whole world. He couldn't stand the sight of it.

"It only goes to show you, you don't deserve to be a hero…ACK!" He suddenly felt his quirk failing him, the sudden weight increase from the cement on his back and chest forcing him downwards.

"Neither of you deserve to be heroes, letting petty arguments go on while lives are in danger and villains roam free. It sickens me what this generation has become." The man cracked his neck. "Even the darkest parts of society have a brighter light than you two." That … hit harder than it should have.

"Getting really Tokoyami-like in here." Todoroki grumbled before turning his neck to him. "If you can still use your quirk, aim it right at Gang Orca. We have to sync our attacks together this time."

"Wh..why should I trust you…?" Insa spat out.

"Because I already failed once when I gave it my all, I'm not about to do it twice if I have the option." The boy spoke gravely. "It doesn't matter who's the bigger asshole between the two of us, right now there's a fish shaped target fifteen feet away I want to take down more than anything at the moment."

There was definitely some form of passion in those words. Angry passion, but a passion to correct himself as well. Plus, as much as he hated to admit it, he did feel slightly spiteful at the number ten hero for trapping them so close together. "Fine then … let's give him hell." He sent his winds straight at the hero playing the villain.

"A little wind will do nothing against me." The pro growled out.

"Right now you're a fish out of water." Todoroki glared, before lighting the air up. "And you just walked right into the frying pan."

"Those bastards are cooking up the boss!" Some men shouted. "Get them!" The gang guys began shooting cement at them. Great, just what he needed right now. At least Todoroki slowed them down with ice. Who knew he could use both at once. Would have been MUCH more helpful before.

"S-ee-ms as tho-ugh you're capable of get-ting better." The pro stumbled back a little, his voice getting raspy, likely feeling very dried out from their attack. "H-How-ever…we are far beyond that po-int by now. Men, hydrate!"

"Yes sir!" The blasters were aimed at Gang Orca…and water came out instead.

"Oh so you carry … water guns …" Todoroki stopped the fire, his body steaming. "Of course you do … fuck, overheating feels weird." Was he not used to going Plus Ultra!? What did they teach at that school!?

"Ah..that felt nice." Gang Orca let the cool water coat every inch of him. It was an impressive display of power no doubt, even if it was too little too late for them by this point. The two wouldn't be passing the exams, but their efforts to correct their mistakes would be noted. "Maybe there's hope for you two ye-"

Gang Orca was cut off as he ducked a kick that, to a lesser human, would have sent them unconscious. He turned and looked into the eyes of a predator, feeling himself fall into instinct as he met them head on. "I may not have a harpoon, but I can still pierce you." The wolf growled at the Orca. Why did he feel like he was being hunted for a second?

"Maybe you can, but you'll never get the chance." They went at it, matching blow for blow in a power struggle. Once thing that people underestimated about Mutant Types was stamina, there was no 'Quirk Exhaust' to be had. As long as they were in their environment, they would go on until the enemy failed. And for someone like Gang Orca covered in water? These blows weren't going to do much against him.

"TREMORING EARTH!" Another voice yelled out as the earth below them got loose and wobbly. The wolf kept in the air with thrusters on his back, letting out a growl as he attacked, unaffected by the shifting terrain.

"Rabbit AX CANNON!" The boy spun in a ball before hitting him right in his arm and actually made Gang Orca sink slightly deeper into the ground. If he didn't block it, that blow to the head might've given him a concussion.

"Damn you kid, we'll take you out!" The wolf aimed a finger at Orca, firing off an air bullet he was forced to block, otherwise it would have gone to his goons. Combined with the shaking and the new target, this would be a bit of a pickle.

"It seems I'll have to get serious brat." He let out a sonic screech, one the boy avoided mid air and retaliated. This kid's evasion was off the charts. No wonder why Miriko held this kid in high regard.

"Sea food's the first kind of animal I've learned how to hunt by myself." The pro looked into the kid's eye, they not only looked determined…they looked hungry. "And wolves are great at catching fish!" The boy leapt forward, clawed out and ready to strike.

"I'll have you know that Orcas are Apex Predators, you're not going to hunt me …" He took in a deep breath and screeched … everywhere. Even his own men behind him were affected. This only had half the effect, but the boy's dodging ability would take a hamper. Meaning it was time for some retaliatory hits.

"Not on my watch!" The blacked haired look-alike student ran into him and got close, activating his vibration quirk the moment he made contact, and he could feel almost every cell of his body shake in some capacity.

"Nice team work…better than those two." He congratulated, before knocking the kid back with one strike. "I'll give it to you that you can be great heroes … but against me you'll never-"

"Time is up, everyone stop what your doing."

"You're doing this on purpose!" He shouted out at the sky.

"Not my fault it feels ironically timed, I just trust what the schedule tells me to do."

"Yeah, sure." He growled before looking at the wolf kid helping the look-alike up, before looking at the weighted gauntlet he used to block the kick. It was cracked, and the simplest of touches would make it fall apart. "The next generation sure is something." He felt both enthused and afraid.
