Izuku ran into the testing zone, not even waiting to reach the first robot before he punched the air. Cracks seemed to appear in the air, ones only he could see, before. A shockwave launched out, hitting the first robot and shattering it to pieces. Two more came skidding from the side and Izuku jerked his arm in that direction, more cracks appearing in the air as he did before shattering the robots… And the ground between them. Dang, had put too much energy into that one.
Turning as another robot charged him, bullets spitting at him, Izuku planted a hand down on its chassis, sending a shockwave through the robot before throwing it to the side.
"Stay away from me!" Izuku called, to the other examinees as he continued to throw out shockwave after shockwave, destroying robots with each attack. Watching one robot pin a purple haired boy to the wall, Izuku planted a hand on the robot and destroyed it. His arms ached slightly, but he could handle it.
Izuku continued to shatter his way through robots, saving people when he could, until finally the 0 point robot was deployed and began destroying the entire zone. Clenching a fist, he punched out, massive cracks forming along the air and across the Zero Pointer, before with a crash like thunder, the robot's head crumpled like a tin can under pressure. As it started to tip forwards, Izuku punched out again, sending another tremor to knock it back into the cavity it had risen from.

Even from this distance, Kyoka could hear Izuku going off, like grinding the bones of the universe. Crumbling and rumbling, shattering and rattling, Izuku shook the world, his laughter on the wind.
Gurarararara!
Kyoka pushed that into the background, stabbing her jacks into two robots and sending her heartbeat through them, short circuiting them.

Katsuki ground his teeth as be blasted robot after robot apart, launching his way down the street to hit another cluster. This was it, he was going to prove he was better than Shaky!
Katsuki's life was supposed to be simple, easy, he was supposed to be number one! He had decided thst the minute his Quirk came in and everyone began to tell him how awesome it was.
Then Shaky, Midoriya Izuku, had got his Quirk and it was the same song and dance all over again, except for a stupid Quirk that shook things. So what if he had caused a magnitude 2 earthquake the first time he used it? That didn't make it better for being hero than Explosion!
Katsuki was the best and that was final. He just had to show the world that, and then Shaky's "friends" would recognize how awesome he was, and want to be hanger-ons to someone who was going to actually go somewhere with their Quirk! There was no chance Shaky would hit number one, or even the top ten, by holding back his Quirk!
