"What's wrong with you? The test's already on its way! Run! Run! The die is cast!" the voice of the pro-hero could be heard through the speakers.

Only a certain red-head and a boy of hell flames rushed the moment they heard go, taking the lead of their respective groups.

"Well, at least I didn't look like a jerk/Well, at least I didn't look like a jackass." the two of them thought. Although, the arachnid girl did flinch a little when she heard the hero say 'the die is cast'.

"Does he know that that's a super villain's catchphrase?" she asked herself, remembering a certain body snatching cephalopode based criminal.

The other examinees, finally realizing that the test was not going to wait for them to get ready, all launched themselves towards the faux cities before everyone without haste. The only one that took longer to realize this, was a certain green-haired boy, who quickly started running, as to try and catch up with the rest of his (possible) soon to be peers.

Meanwhile, all the way on ground E, Annie leaped from the ground to a lamppost and then to the streets in front of her. The finest that the others in her ground were looking at her in awe. She moved as if she was a professional acrobat that has years of practice in what she did. Yet for the New Yorker, these moves were but second nature to her, doing them since she had memory. That's not to say that she was perfect though. A true professional could have pointed out certain ways to improve her technique. She knew that, for even if this was just something that came to her, she has seen many others jump and move with such mastery, that she looked like a headless chicken with clown shoes in comparison.

From the likes of Daredevil, the Black Widow, Mockingbird, Captain America and practically near everyone trained by him, Shang Chi, Iron fist and of course, her father and elder sister. The only ones that she thought could rival them that came to mind were Venom (since he basically is her father in a creepy black suit with teeth) and Deadpool, but even then, that was somewhat debatable.

Not like being behind them was anything to be ashamed of. They were all legends in their own accord. Besides, she's bound on catching up with them at some point, right?

"Alright! Who wants to- WOW!" she exclaimed, listening to the ring behind the back of her head.

Leaping away from where she once stood and clinging to a wall of a nearby building, she saw the cause for her spider sense to rang. It was a green robot marked with a number one on the sides of what appeared to be some kind of arm shields that had just smashed where she was. Not even five minutes in and she had already ran into one of the faux villains. A one pointer to be exact.

Should she consider herself lucky or unlucky?

"Well, that was rude. You didn't even let me-" she started to say, yet once more she was forced to move out of the way as the robot rushed at her with no haste. Leaping from the wall, she flipped over the robot and landed just behind the green robot. "Did the people that made you not programmed you with manners or what?!" she yelled at the machine.

To no one's surprise, it did not reply. Only turning to where she now was, identifying her as a target that was in need of being dealt with. It rushed at her once more, smashing the ground where she was as she leapt away yet again. She continued to berate the green robot for its lack of manners as she kept on dodging the machine's attacks, telling it that it was rude not to answer someone when they were talking to him/her/it, much to the amusement of her fellow examinees, who were wondering just what she was doing?

Some were already planning on taking advantage that she was goofing around with the robot so that they could destroy it and earn a point. However, that plan went through the window when they all saw the robot attempt to smash the girl once more with her not moving away on this occasion. Only, instead of seeing a girl being squashed to the ground, they all saw the american catch the robotic arm with one hand as if it were nothing. To add to their shock, she then flipped it over her shoulders like a Judo master. Smashing the faux villain into the ground and earning a point of her own. Which she didn't seem to care about as she decided to yell at the destroyed robot.

"Yeah! What do you think now, huh?! Maybe next time, you'll learn to let people finish what they're saying!" she yelled at it.

"What the hell is she made off?!" the other examinees thought.

Safe to say, she definitely made a first impression.

"EMBIGGEN!" shouted Kamala, smashing a faux villain with her overgrown fists.

Four and a half minutes, just four and a half minutes since the start of the exam and she had already beaten six one pointers, two two pointers and a single three pointer. In total, she had already earned a total of thirteen points. That should be good, right?... Well, it would probably be if it wasn't for the fact that she already heard other kids yelling out loud their own scores and realizing that she was a little over five to eight points lower than some of their scores.

Hearing the sound of metallic steps heading for her, Kamala turned and saw a one pointer heading her way.

She managed to evade the faux villain by stretching her legs and allowing the faux villain to cross pass them. Afterwards, she threw a powerful punch at the robot from above. Striking its head and shattering, thus earning yet another point. Fourteen points as of now, that was progress, right?

Although she had to admit that punching metal robots with her bare hands was not that pleasant of an experience. Her knuckles were already starting to turn red and to hurt a little bit. She wondered if maybe there's a way that she could use her powers to lessen the cons of using her hands as her primary offense. Maybe she should try to toughen up? Like that old saying or something about how pain's only in the mind and what not? Captain America also punched things tougher than steel with his bare hands and she never once has seen him complaining, so maybe there's something to that mind trick.

… Then again, the guy's Captain America. He could punch a T-Rex into submission if he wanted to. As a matter of fact, he probably has already.

Looking around, she was able to spot a third pointer, so she rushed towards its direction. Not to destroy it and earn some points… well, that too actually. But it was more so the fact that the faux villain was heading towards a kid with glasses that was covered with so much fur, that he may as well be either Saquash's secret love child or Beast's nephew. Kamala did what first came to mind and embiggened her fist yet again while also stretching her right arm towards the robot, staggering it to the sides and making it stumble into a wall that came down on it.

"What the?!" the boy asked, turning to see the debris of the wall on top of the faux three pointer.

Unfortunately, the robot was still not done. As soon as it fell, it recovered even quicker. Locating the hairy boy as a target and preparing to engage. Or at least, that was until Kamala jumped on top of and stretched her hands around it as if she were Mr. Fantastic. She then started to try and pull it away from the boy as much as she could, yet the machine proved to be harder to take down.

"Little help would be nice!" Kamala said, holding to dear life so to not being thrown like a rag doll by the robot.

"Right!" the boy replied.

He then charges at the faux villain, growing a bit taller and buffer if only by a slight margin. He then started to rip at the green robot, slashing and even biting until it stopped moving. Only then did Kamala let go and let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew! That was a close one." she said.

"Yes it was." the boy replied, turning to the girl that proved to be his savior today. "Thank you, I owe you one." he told her.

"Hey, what kind of hero would let another good guy bite the dust, right?"

"I guess you're right about that one." he said, extending his hand to the inhuman. "I'm Shishida Jutora, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Okay, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm still trying to wrap my hand with how people referred to one another, so just know that my name's Kamala and that the last name's Khan, okay?" she said, shaking the boy's hand.

"Oh, a foreigner? Well, do not worry, I understand that there will be people that have a hard time getting used to these kinds of ordeals." he said, breaking the handshake with the girl. "If it helps you out, Shishida's my last name."

"It actually does." she replied, looking at a group of robots not that far from where they were standing. "Say, wanna beat some more robot butts? I think we'll need to get a couple more points."

"Yeah, you're right about that one Khan." he said, turning to where the faux villains were. "You know, hopefully, if we're to pass, we get to be in the same classroom."

"Hey, after seeing you tear that tin can like wet paper? I wouldn't mind, big guy." Kamala replied.

And so, the two examinees charged at the faux villains, ready to earn as many points as possible.

"Hey! That was my villain point!" Robbie heard a boy complain.

"You're welcome." he replied, not giving a damn as he went on for more points.

He was the third person to complain for being saved by the hellfire boy. He, like the other two, was being cornered by a faux villain, who would have knocked the lights out of the boy if not for Robbie's intervention. Wrapping the faux villain with a chain infused with hellfire, he janked the robot away before encasing his right fist in hellfire and blowing away the three pointer villain. He found it annoying that they were complaining about him having to save their asses, yet also understanding. This was their shot at entering the most prestigious school in all of Japan and couldn't afford to get left behind for even a second.

… Still didn't make it less annoying for him.

Robbie ended up pushing those thoughts away for the time being, when he saw someone that could probably use a hand… or needed to yell at someone for ruining his shot at U.A. It was probably the latter. He saw a boy with black hair with probably shoulder length hair that was being taken care off by a low braid. The most notable aspect was the fact that his arms seemed to be covered in some kind of green scales from the elbow down. He was currently being cornered by three one pointers and one three pointer.

Deciding to help out, yet also not wanting to be yelled at again, Robbie wrapped two of the three one pointers and pulled them away from the boy of black hair. This caused the attention of both the boy and the robot to turn to where the other two were taken to. Yet, the boy quickly recovered from the shock and charged his opponents. Slashing at the one pointer's head and damaging the three pointer's eye. And while the three pointer was distracted, Robbie hurled the other one pointers at it with so much strength, that it took out the one pointers and knocked the three pointer on its back. Allowing the boy to rush in and finish the job.

Once he did, the boy turned from the remains of the faux villains and towards the boy with the flaming chains. Robbie was already expecting the kid to be annoyed. Probably about to say something like; 'I had them!', or 'those were supposed to be mine!'. Yet to his surprise, the boy gave a small smile to him.

"Thanks, I was between the wall and the sword back there." he told him.

"Well, at least you're not yelling at me." said Robbie, making the other boy chuckle a little.

"And why would I do that?" he asked, even though he was already aware of the answer.

"Because the last three people that I had to bail out did."

"Yeah, I saw it from where I was. Heard it too and while I can see where they're coming from, it's still kind of a crappy way of saying thanks to someone that just saved your skin." the boy said. "You don't seem to be from around here."

"Well, neither do you." Robbie replied.

True to his words, the two look to be from outside of Japan. With Robbie, it was extremely obvious but probably not that much with the other boy. He definitely looked like he was from Asia, but not Japan especifically. It was mainly the eyes for him, that was the best way to know it. If he had to take a guess, the guy was from either China or maybe Korea.

"Surprise that you notice it, but I've been living here since I was in elementary school." the boy told Robbie. "Have any name?"

"I do, but let's focus on coming out of this alive for now, okay?" he asked.

"Fair enough." he said, looking at a faux villain not that far from them. "Would you look at that, wanna have a go with it?" he asked Robbie.

"You can have him. I don't mind." Robbie answered.

"If you insist man." the other boy said, charging at the robot.

As he did that, Robbie turned away in search of more either more villains to defeat or some other idiot in need of saving… hopefully one that does not yell at him. That would be nice.

"Sorry!" Valerie yelled as she destroyed yet another robot.

The blue girl kept on running, destroying as many faux villains as possible, while also aiding whoever she saw was in need of help. Valerie didn't have a fight-base power like the rest of her friends (with the exception of Hitoshi), which was making things hard for her. Granted, she was also stronger than the average person by about at least three times and was also taught how to defend herself by someone whose presence is more than enough to hold back an army. Yet, her nature was not helping out today.

She wasn't as outgoing as Annie sometimes was, as rough as Robbie or even as excited as Kamala. Even Hitoshi was more loquacious and more likely to take action among their little group of misfits. But Valerie wasn't like that at all. She was the shy and sweet girl who always wanted to do the right thing and who couldn't even hurt a fly.

Literally.

And it's not like being the adoptive sister of the daughter of the legendary Hank Pym had anything to do with it. Even before being taken under the figurative (and also, probably literally) wing Janet Van Dyne, she was always the kind of girl that would carefully take any insect, spider or what not outside instead of squashing it. She even felt sad whenever she saw it happen, so how was she supposed to punch a robot in the face without feeling bad?

She needs to work on that.

"Sorry!" she said yet again, having teleported some debris over a faux villain, crushing it and earning yet another point.

That's what the blue girl's been doing since the test started. She used her powers to teleport debris or even other faux villains on top of the mechanical enemies and take them out, or weakening them enough to become easier to take down. She also used them to help out other examinees whenever she could. Teleporting them out of harm's way and even, at times, positioning them in a way that they could use their power best against their opponents. Although, even then, she also apologised. For she thought that maybe making people cross her portals like that out of nowhere, was a pretty odd experience.

Passing by the streets of the fake and somewhat destroyed fake city, she was looking for a place to rest for a little. She knew that every second counted, but also that she could not overwork herself. She was still trying to grasp her powers as best as possible. One thing that she has learned is that creating portals took a toll on her. Depending on how big the portal is, the size or number of things and/or people crossing it and the time interval in between portals, will determine the amount of strain in her body.

However, it seemed like her desire to catch her breath will have to wait for just a little longer. For she saw a boy of blonde hair and a tail finishing off a two pointer, yet not noticing the other faux villain that was about to strike him from behind. Seeing this, time suddenly slowed down for the girl. Seconds started to feel longer and longer until it felt as if time had somehow frozen up. The robot being mere inches away from the kid. In that short span of time, the shy and timid girl did not think that much, but rather she acted.

"Look out!" she shouted.

Creating a portal, she jumped into it and took her next to the kid. She launched herself at him, pushing him out of a blow from the machine. The two landed hard on the floor, yet the girl was not done. Eying a metal bar from the corner of her eye, she quickly picked it up and as if it were a rapier, she thrusted it into the robot's head. She innerly apologised as the robot fell, defeated and earning the girl yet another point. She then let go of the bar, sucking in air now that the moment of distress was now over.

Valerie then noticed that her actions did attract the attention of a couple of other examinees that were nearby. Naturally, she blushed a little, all her confidence banishing as the shy persona of hers returned to steer the wheel. She then turned to the boy that she had just saved, who was still in the ground, also looking at her with gratitude and a bit of awe. Valerie then approached The boy so as to help him up, but just as her shynes returned, it also brought some clumsiness with it. She somehow tripped herself, falling to the ground face first and letting out a small grunt that was… kind of adorable?

"Cute." thought a good chunk of those present in the area.

The girl tried to pick herself up, but saw the hand of the boy who she just saved in front of her.

"Um, thanks. Are you okay?" asked the blonde boy with the tail.

Valerie flushed a little bit more. A combination of embarrassment for tripping in the dumbest way possible and of talking to a stranger her own age. Quickly, she jumped back on her feet (literally) and stood straight as if she were a private talking to a general.

"M-M-M-Me?! Y-Y-Yeah, sure! N-No problem at all!" she awkwardly said, stuttering in the process and not really knowing what she was doing. "W-W-W-What's that o-o-over there?! L-L-Looks interesting, I-I'm going to take a look at it! Bye!" she said, rushing at some random direction so as to avoid social interaction.

"... Was it something I said?" the boy asked, confused as to what just happened.

"Man, some of these guys are sure giving it their all." said a pale ash blonde boy, whose facial features made him look a bit like a skull. "Hey Tokage, anyone that got your curiosity?" he asked.

"Let's see… Oh, I know! That girl with red hair from ground E that's jumping all over the place!" said a girl with both green hair and eyes with sharp teeth.

"The one that just got smacked to the side of a building for looking at that guy that seemed to be eating a chocolate bar?" asked a boy with white and red hair. His eyes were of two colors, those being grey on his right side and turquoise on the left side, where a scar resided.

"Hey, what can I say? She seems like the kind of girl that knows how to live her life!" the girl known as Tokage said. "Any thoughts on the matter, Yaoyorozu?" she asked.

The girl known as Yaoyorozu, who had long black hair that was tied with a ponytail, hummed at the question asked to her. "Well, she seems to be capable of striking fast and with some impressive power as well. Combine that with her incredible mobility, which seems to be second to the boy of glasses from ground B, it's honestly somewhat hard to pinpoint just what the nature of her quirk is."

"Maybe it's not a quirk?" commented the ash blonde boy.

"That is indeed a possibility, Honenuki-san." Yaoyorozu told the boy, now known as Honenuki. "Regardless, she seems to be a very versatile individual. Although, I must admit that her behavior leaves much to be dessire."

"Pfff, yeah right. You guys need to learn to live a little! It ain't that hard to do." Tokage said, smirking a little.

"If you say so." Honenuki told Tokage.

Somewhere within the grounds of U.A, these four kids watched over the entrance exam to the prestigious school. These four already had their spot secured, not needing to take the regular exam. For they took a different test. One that, only a select few took, for the demand of it was greater than the one that they were witnessing.

Juzo Honenuki, born in Kanagawa Prefecture who specializes in long range combat. A boy with a soft and flexible thinking, he's someone that may not be that stubborn in comparison to other of his peers, yet has the skills that one would expect from someone of his caliber.

Momo Yaoyorozu, born in Aichi Prefecture who specializes in melee and support combat. She's quite prudent of her actions, as well as being a dedicated person and a bit of a rich girl. Then again, that's to be expected when considering that her parents are very important business people. She may lack some of the raw power as some others, yet what she lacks in brawns she more than makes up for it in terms of brains. Being quite frankly, the smartest of the four.

Setsuna Tokage, born in Saitama Prefecture, with a great and versatile set of skills. Chatty, confident, somewhat provocative and . Those are some of the adjectives that one would tend to use whenever it came time to describe the girl. Easily the one most outgoing of the four, as well as maybe the most social of them. She's one of the two within the room that could be considered a natural born leader, capable of earning someone's trust with relative ease.

And lastly, but far from being the least.

Shoto Todoroki, born in Shizuoka Prefecture and specializing in long-range combat. Son of the number two hero, the flame hero Endeavor, he is many, many things. Not that sociable is, to the surprise of many, one of her main attributes. Cold and reserve were obviously other qualities of his that were easy to notice. But above all, he was powerful. With, perhaps, the possible exception of that kid who, despite having passed the recommendation exam and yet chose to decline the offer of studying at U.A for reasons that none were still 100%, he was no doubt the strongest of the four.

These four were not ordinary students like the ones taking the entrance exam. No, they were the recommendation students. The elite of the elite. And until proven otherwise, they were the most talented students of their generation.

Turning to where the young Todoroki was, Juzo Honenuki decided to ask the boy his opinion on the matter. "What about you Todoroki? Anything to add?" he asked.

The son of the pro-hero remained silent for a bit, simply looking at multiple battlegrounds. Normally, he would be bored and thought not much at what he was looking at. Sure, the boy with glasses of ground B, the girl of orange hair with large hands from ground G seemed capable, but not that outstanding in his eyes. Even the guy with the explosive quirk of ground a, who so far has probably taken down the most villains than anyone else, fails to meet his standards. And yet, there are actually two examinees that have indeed caught even a glimpse of his attention.

The aforementioned red-headed of ground E and a boy from ground D.

The girl moved fast and struck hard at her opponents. Despite her looks, she may as well be among the physically strongest examinees taking the exam. Another thing to note was that her being hit by that faux villain must have been some sort of fluke. For most of the time, it seemed like she had eyes on the back of her head. Combine that with the way she moved, which was familiar for some reason, she was no doubt someone whose skills were more than obviously superior to many of those taking the exam.

So why was it that she hadn't destroyed that many faux villains?

The same could be said about the boy from ground D. Even though Todoroki frowned every time he saw a ball of fire leave his hand and even that flaming chain of his, he couldn't deny the boy of his strength. He was good, easily on par with the red-head of ground E and the ash blonde of ground A, if not superior. Yet, instead of mainly taking down faux villains, they focused more on helping out other examinees in different ways. They bailed them out whenever the other's arrogance got the better of them and ended up getting more than they could chew. They tag team robots with other examinees, even letting them get the final blow.

Hell, the boy straight up allowed someone else to go after some faux villains while he walked away.

They were weird and confusing, yet also skilled and powerful. So what does he think about them? Well…

"They're not giving it their all." said a man with dark hair and what looked to be some sort of strips of some sort acting as a scarf.

Within some sort of control room, filled to the brim with panels and monitors that showed the multiple grounds, stood the staff of U.A. Like every year, they all sat and watched the students act in the wide battlefield with the limited timeframe that they gave out. They saw how such restrictions would no doubt force the kids to bring the best of them. They saw many assess the situation near instantaneously. Either be with intelligence gathering, using their enhanced mobility to traverse around the area with ease, those who were able to cope with the situation that they were in and make decisions right on the spot and of course, those considered to be natural born warriors. Prodigies that excel in near every category.

Those were easily the essentials to preserve peace and order in any city and the last criteria, caused the staff to look at a couple of students that easily fell in that category.

Katsuki Bakugou, Anna-May Parker and Roberto Reyes. These four were easily the ones that got their attention the most. It was easier at first glance when it came time to look at the ash blond boy. He was striking down robots left and right and showed no signs of slowing down. No, instead it was quite the opposite, he accelerated his pace as time went on and on. Honestly, they haven't seen a student as driven as him in quite some time.

The other two gain their attention, in part due to just how cooperative they showed themselves to be. In Robbie's case, they saw that he was almost the definition of dependable. Getting people out of harms ways with ease and dealing with villains in an even easier manner. Combine that with the raw power that he was displaying and it should also be no wonder as to why they would also pay attention to him as well.

As for the red-headed girl from ground E, it was the mere fact that she didn't look that outstanding at first glance. Or at least, compared to other of her peers. Yet, just like the other two she showed raw power flowing through her every action. Easily the most versatile out of the three, she flew across the battlefield with a certain grace, yet teared through the metallic menaces as if they were made out of wet paper (in spite of her physical build suggesting her to be just a slightly more fit than average fifteen year old).

Then again, knowing just who she was, it shouldn't be that surprising at all.

"Well, I for one think they're doing just fine!" said a woman of long black hair. "Maybe a little rough here and there, but that's why we're here, right? To guide them in the path of becoming exemplary heroes!"

"Yet, if they don't show that they'll take things seriously, then they shouldn't even be here." the man replied.

"Don't you think that you may be a little harsh as always, Aizawa?" said a man that looked like some sort of cowboy.

Truth be told, he was always like this and one would assume that the reason that he thinks as such is because one of those three kids, was throwing jokes every now and then. If that was the case, then they could probably see where he was coming and to a certain degree, it was. He was someone that took his job as serious as serious gets, as such he isn't one to approve such behavior. Still, he understood what the girl was trying to accomplish.

He knew who the girl's father was, hell everyone in the room knew who he was. And he did these kinds of things all the time. He has been criticized for doing so over the years, many with the same claim. It shows that he does not take being a hero seriously. Yet those that know him or have made the essential research will know that such a claim couldn't be further from the truth. He was among the ones that took being a hero more serious than most others and, as childish as those silly quips are, always had a purpose. Whether to ease the tension of a stressful situation, remain one's sanity or even distract his opponents so as to make them reckless and easier to defeat. He should know, he has studied the man and based some of his stealth battle style out of his own and others as well.

… Still didn't mean he liked it.

Their attention was drawn to the monitors once again, as they witnessed the girl from ground E picking up a manhole cover and using it to bash the head of a two pointer.

"That girl's stronger than she looks." said a man with somewhat animalistic features and a muzzle in his mouth.

"It shouldn't be a surprise. Knowing who her father is she probably inherited his strength." the woman of black hair said.

"I once heard that he defeated two X-Men that were possessed by the Phoenix force." said a female hero, dressed in what looked to be a space suit. "I wonder if that's true."

As on cue, they all turned to the Symbol of Peace himself, who was currently in his true form as a scruny skeleton man. It was obvious why they all did, for he has been on many world ending events, doing his part alongside the likes of the Mighty Avengers, the Uncanny X-Men and so on.

"Um, I'm afraid that the Hulk and I were the last to join the frey in the battle against the Phoenix force back then. But I can definitely recall events in which Spider-Man has proven himself stronger than he looks." he told the rest of the staff members, reminiscing the first encounter that he had with the web warrior. Yet, also questioning himself something when looking at the man's daughter. "Why is it that she's not using web shooters? Could it be that she does not have a pair of her own?" he questioned.

"In any case, this year's quite the bumper crop, huh?" said one of the teachers.

"Well, no way to know yet." replied another, eying a red boton in one of the consols. "But this should tell us more." said the teacher while pressing said button.

Back on ground B, Midoriya was frantically looking for any sort of faux villain with little to no luk.

"The enemies… There are barely any left!" he thought, looking from left to right in hopes of finding one. "This is bad!" the boy thought.

Suddenly, the ground started to rumble all across the different grounds. Everyone suddenly stopped what they were all doing, wondering if an earthquake had suddenly striked. Some even started to feel a little nervous, but not long after did they find the origin of the rumbling. All across the different grounds, a giant faux villain, the size of a building emerged. Creating destruction wherever it stood and bringing some terror to many examinees. Midoriya himself looked at the mechanical behemoth with fear in his eyes, remembering what Present Mic told them about the mysterious zero pointer and already knowing that it currently stood tall before them all.

"A 'gimmick' that'll rampage around close quarters!" the voice of the pro-hero echoed in his ears. Looking at the giant robot with only one thing in mind.

"Gimmick my ass! That's some final boss level shit!" Robbie thought, seeing the colossal robot that was standing about twenty or so meters away from him and the rest of his peers.

They all started to make a break for it, all in the hopes of escaping the behemoth. Robbie was about to follow as well, once he saw the machine starting to raise its massive arm. But then, he saw that there were some that were still relatively close to the zero pointer. He knew that if that thing brought its arm down, then they would no doubt get seriously injured.

Getting close enough so that his chain could reach the two kids, he wrapped it around them and pulled them away to safety. Sending them many meters behind him and into a safe zone. He was about to make a break for it, but by then, the machine had finally struck the ground. Thankfully, Robbie was not close enough to be hit directly. Unfortunately, the force of the blow was still strong enough to send him flying into the side of a building.

There was a bit of silence, all with the exception of the machine starting to move around. But then, rumble from where the boy had crashed. Then out of nowhere, a burst of flames pushed all the rubble away from there. As the smoke still floated around the area, a yellow light suddenly appeared as well. And as it started to dissipate, Robbie stood tall.

However, not many would have known that that was indeed Robbie Reyes at first glance. For instead of looking like he did a moment ago, his appearance had suddenly changed. His clothes had suddenly turned into a black full bodysuit. It had shoulder pieces and was adorned with a couple of white lines. The main ones, being the ones in his chest and torso, that were thicker than the rest and somewhat formed a rectangle from that ended around his waist.

Yet what was without a shadow of a doubt the biggest change in the young teenager, was the fact that his head had suddenly morphed into some sort of helmet or something. The back of his head was black like the bodysuit, yet the front (the helmet presumably) was one that resembled a stylish human skull. Some kind of whole resided in his forehead, from where flames came erupting, surrounding his face in fire, yet not bothering one bit. Where his eyes once where, were nothing but black near pitch black hosks, with only a pair of faint orange glows coming from them. Lastly, both his teeth, as well as his gum were visible to all to see.

Robbie, or at least the creature that was once Robbie looked up to the robot and snarled. Flames coming out of both his mouth and even nostrils (or at least where his nose used to be). He grinded his teeth as he conjured a chain to him. Holding it with both of his hands.

"That… that hurt like a bitch." he said, the mouth of the helmet moving as well, his voice sounding dark and threatening. "And you just made the goddamn mistake of pissing the fucking hell off me!" he growled, the chain in his hands igniting with the might of a raging fire.

The few that were still close enough to witness what just happened suddenly felt a wave of dread hit their bodies. Not entirely sure what they were all seeing, they all looked back and forth between the mysterious entity and the massive machinery. It was at that moment that they all felt something. They all felt as if they were looking at two monsters facing one another, knowing that only one of them was walking out of this one.

"I'm going to enjoy melting you to the ground!" he said, hurling his chain towards the mechanical threat that was standing before him.

"Everyone run!" Kamala shouted, seeing the massive robot come from the ground.

The inhuman tried to think what to do in this kind of situation and came to the conclusion that there was nothing that she could do to stop it. She was still learning how to use her powers and the most that she has been able to grow to was to be three or so meters tall.

As she kept on running away, she noticed that there were a couple of kids too tired to truly be able to make a run for it. She quickly enlarged herself and picked them up with both her hands. They were just two kids, but seeing that there were others in need of help as well, she ended up carrying a total of five or so kids on her back.

"I feel like a taxi right now!" she shouted.

"Less talking, more running! It's getting closer!" said one of the kids, looking at the robot starting to move towards them.

"No need to tell me twice, budy!" she told him.

As she was running, she hoped that the rest were having a better time than her.

"WHY?!" Valerie cried.

She only wanted to do a test. One simple test with normal test things. She didn't want to be squashed by multiple dead robots, let alone one the size of a building!

Looking at some of the kids that were in need of some assistance. Valerie used her powers to create portals so that they could cross them and allow them to cross a significant distance away from the giant robot. As she was passing by, she couldn't help but to notice a small group of kids that were relatively close to the faux villain. Most notably, she saw both the blindeboy with the tail and the boy with brown hair from before, somewhere around thirty or so meters away from her and the others alongside five other kids.

Her eyes widened when she saw the robot swing its arm and destroying the upper part of a building and sending chunks of concrete flying towards the group of seven. As for the group of kids, they could only see the debri above them before…

"Hey, where are you going?!" asked a muscular boy with large lips to Annie.

"Those guys aren't going to be able to get clear in time! I'm going to try and distract them!" she told the boy back.

"And how exactly are you planning to do that?!"

"Good question Hershey dude… too bad I don't really know how!" she told him, picking up a relative big chunk of one of the faux villains that was laying in the ground. "Guess I'll just try to wing it or something." she said, before rushing towards danger, like someone not sane.

Both her and Hershey dude had been lucky that the robot had started to walk in the opposite way from where they stood. In truth, they could have stayed immobile while the villain caused mayhem away from them. But the others weren't so lucky, for some were too close to the faux villain. Once she was close enough to the robot, Annie hurled the piece of the faux villain that she had in hand with all of her might and towards the massive robot.

The attack did manage to get a bit of its attention, stopping it for even just one second. The robot turned to try and identify what it was that just attacked it, but found nothing. It then resumed its path once again, unaware that on its back, Annie started to climb up the massive robot as if it were just a building. Her objective, the head of the robot. Hopefully, she would be able to find whatever it is that she's looking up there.

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY! I GOT TO RUN AND SOMEHOW GET SOME POINTS!" Midoriya cried, running away from the zero pointer like the others were doing as well. "DAMN, DAMN, DAMN I'M STILL AT ZERO! THIS'LL BE ALL FOR NOTHING!"

As he kept on trying to escape, he couldn't help but to curse at his own weakness. Everything that All Might did for him! Those few that actually believed that he had a shot at this hero thing! It was all for nothing… at the end of the day, Kachan was right. He was simply an useless, worthless-

"O-Oww..." he suddenly heard.

Turning back, he saw the girl from the entrance. Laying on the ground, struggling with all of her might to stand up while looking tired and defeated.

"It's a bad omen to trip and fall." her voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Many would have ran away from the scene. Heck, he was sure that he should be doing just that. And yet, at that moment he completely forgot about the exam. Only one thing on his mind and that was helping that girl. He had to do something to try and be of use.

As he got ready, the teachers of U.A all looked at the events that were unfolding before their eyes.

When there's nothing to be gained. Rising to the challenge at those times...is surely the mark of a true hero!

At that moment, one inhuman managed to outrun the death machine all while carrying other kids to safety. On another part of the school grounds, a young red-head finally reached the top of the villain's head. Having ripped out what looked to be a panel. Behind it, were multiple colored wires among other things. As for ground D, the young Reyes somehow managed to destroy one of the robot's legs. Making it fall in front of the boy and although it tried to get up, Robbie did not allow it, charging a powerful right hook of mighty flames.

And all at once, three behemoths fell at the hands of three soon to be heroes. Izuku Midoriya used the power bestowed upon him by the Symbol of Peace to jump multiple stories high. Pulling his arm back, he allowed energy to course through it, the power tearing his right sleeve like nothing. Annie-May Parker started to pull as many parts as she could in the hopes of stopping the robot on its tracks. As for Robbie, the flames that were residing in his fist grew hotter and hotter by the second. Soon being more than enough to start heating the area in which he stood.

As the once quirkless teen was about to unleash his attack, he could hear the words of his mentor within his head.

"Clench up your buttcheeks kid… And let your heart cry out!"

"SMAAAAAAASH!" he innerly screamed.

As his fist connected with his opponent, so did Robbie all the way on ground D. As for ground E, the machine suddenly stopped. It's eyes no longer flaring with red lights. And as the red-headed sighed in relief at being able to deactivate the machine, a burst of flames eradicated the zero pointer of the neighboring ground as an herculean punch decimated the one from ground B, with only one minute and five seconds remaining.

"That self-sacrificing spirit, was the embodiment of heroism in my eyes!" Toshinori Yagi thought while smiling.

Without doubt, this school year will be one for the ages.
