START

Katsuki glowered at the extras around him as he filed into his seat. While he ruminated about how he would crush them all under his feet, show the masses the might of his Quirk, and unite them all against the robot menace, Deku plopped into the seat next to him. The seat groaned under its weight.

"Robots can't be heroes, Deku," Katsuki snarled.

"I'm not a robot."

"Oh yeah?" Katsuki took in its taller and sturdier frame. "Let me guess, you got another one of those overnight growth spurts?"

"It's a part of my Quirk."

"More like an upgrade," Katsuki sneered.

"Hey!" A bespectacled student called down. "Please keep it down, you are disturbing everyone else's concentration!"

"Can it, four-eyes!"

Deku peered up at him and asked, "Aren't you also disturbing everyone's concentration?"

The extra's eyes widened, and he kowtowed to everyone around him. "He is absolutely right! You all have my deepest apologies!"

Katsuki hissed at Deku, "I know what you're planning, robot. I'm watching you."

Deku blinked at him and asked, "How do you know I'm going to replace All Might?"

As that bombshell went off in Katsuki's head, Present Mic came up to the podium and shouted, "Hey there, listeners! Can I get a big 'hey'?"

Silence filled the auditorium. A buzzing noise came from Deku's chest, and a 3-D printed metallic 'Yeah' popped out its mouth. The robot held it up and asked, "Is this what you asked for?"

Present Mic chuckled weakly and said, "Not quite the volume I wanted, but very nice!"

"I see. I could make more, but it would weaken the integrity of my chassis."

"No, I don't need any of them."

"Oh, okay." Izuku chewed up the word with deafening crunches and swallowed.

"Alright," Present Mic said awkwardly, "For those of you that didn't take a pamphlet, here's how this will work. We'll start with the entrance exam, which I hope you all studied for. After that is the practical exam, where you'll fight robots until time runs out."

A manic grin spread across Katsuki's face. He leapt out of his seat and shouted, "Fuck yeah! Those robots won't know what fucking hit them!"

"Language!" Four-eyes roared. "And how dare you interrupt a teacher!"

"So manly," an extra with spiky red hair said, staring at him in awe. He stood and said, "What he said! Those robots are going down!"

As the auditorium devolved into chaos, Present Mic sighed and shouted loud enough to shatter windows five blocks away. Once the examinees fell into a stunned silence, tiny drones handed out the exams. Katsuki glared at the robot that plopped an exam next to him, certain that it had sabotaged his test. The thought of taking Deku's crossed his mind, but then he realized that the robots wanted him to steal a test and sabotaged Deku's instead. Smugly certain he would outsmart them, Katsuki put pen to paper.

To his irritation and everyone else's amazement, Deku finished in thirty seconds.
