New Arm!

Bullet was training with Ectoplasm and swinging his fists as Ectoplasm blocked him. They were sparring with all their strength! Ectoplasm was a bit shocked at Bullet's actual combat expertise! No wonder he won the Festival, he was league above the rest!

Now he understood why Aizawa found it hard to test him.

Other than having no Quirk, Bullet's fighting instinct was too strong! If he had a Quirk, Ectoplasm would dare to say he would be stronger than some heroes in the top 10!

They continued fighting and Bullet threw a punch, steam coming out of the metal arm. Ectoplasm dodged and the fist punched through a concrete pillar!

Bullet took his fist out and looked at the cracks worriedly. Ectoplasm slashed his leg down, forcing Bullet to block as the arm creaked. Ectoplasm said "Don't stop now! Villains won't stop! You know this!" Bullet frowned and continued attacking him.

Ectoplasm had to talk to Power Loader about providing Mei with better materials… If he really used all his strength just now, that arm would've been scrapped! They continued sparring until Vlad King came in with Class-1B saying "Hey! We booked the TKL! SCRAM!"

Aizawa replied "We have 10 more minutes, I plan to use 'em…" the students started talking about the Provisional License Exam. Ectoplasm said "You need to use everything! You've gotten used to the phantom movements but if you're scared of breaking the arm, then it doesn't matter!"

Bullet took off his mask and looked troubled but nodded.

Ectoplasm nodded and Bullet pointed at his legs, saying "Why no blades?" Ectoplasm blinked in confusion and Bullet explained "Sword on leg, slash out, cut! Leg sword!" Ectoplasm's eyes twitched and he said "You imagination very big…"

Bullet walked with him saying "But so cool! You kick and chop! Awesome! No?" Ectoplasm shook his head, although it was very cool… It was also super deadly! But! It was an idea for the future in case he really needed to do such a thing…

Bullet came to the rest and was rushed by Class-1B! Bullet was overwhelmed and smiled kindly, "Hello!" they all grabbed him and cried, thanking and apologizing. Bullet was used to this by now, he simply smiled and nodded, "No need."

Monoma snapped his fingers at Bullet, pointing "Hahahaha! You complete and utter fool! You will be playing second fiddle to the miraculous me! HAHAHHAAH! All you need to do next time and watch as Class-1B saves the day! Who needs your Class-1A snobs!? Ahahahahahahahah! THE HERO WILL BE ME! PHANTOM THIEF! AHAHAH-Ack!"

Itsuka chopped him and smiled happily "He means us. Don't fall behind, we're all trying extra hard too!" Class-1A grinned and Eijiro stood out, shouting "You there! My natural rival! You dare duel me?!"

Tetsutetsu grinned and turned to steel, "Heh… Who's afraid of who?" as they rushed out and punched each other quickly.

Dozens of bangs went off as they collided!

Monoma woke up again, jumping out and running his hands through his hair, "I REQUEST A CLASS BRAWL! TO DECIDE WHO IS THE BEST FIRST YEAR CLASS IN HISTORY!"

All the students lit up and turned to Aizawa and Vlad King. The duo had their eyes and lips twitch as they replied "No." The students revolted, shouting "We want to fight! We want to fight!"

Aizawa glared at them and Vlad King shouted "SOON! Not now! We booked the TKL for Training! You little idiots wanna throw our time away for a scrap!? We will have a competition eventually, just not right now! For now, train your Quirks and then… when the time comes… heheh… HAHAHAHAH!"

He burst out laughing and shouted "WE'LL CRUSH CLASS-1A! AHAHAHAH! MY CLASS, CLASS-1B! THE TRUE KING OF THE FIRST YEARS! AHAHAHAH!"

Itsuka muttered "He's lost it… again…" Monoma was right next to Vlad King, laughing in the same way.

Aizawa's lips twitched in annoyance and he walked away…

Several days passed

Bullet was holding the metal arm together with binding cloth but it was crumbling as the class did a final sprint for the end of training.

He punched Ectoplasm and the arm cracked completely!

Bullet was heartbroken and held the scraps together.

Ectoplasm smiled, finally! He walked over and smiled "Good! You finally did it!" Bullet looked at him as he explained "You were limiting yourself! That last blow was 100%! The arm broke, yes. But you broke your psychological burden! This is cause for celebration itself. Also, I've talked to Power Loader, the materials for your next arm have already arrived! By the time of the Provisional License Exam, you will have a new one!"

Bullet sighed and nodded. Ectoplasm patted his armored shoulder, saying "Good boy!"

A while later

Bullet put the wrapped up arm that was torn to scraps into the aptly named Dataminer. He wrapped it up tightly before putting it in and locking it in place like Mei showed him.

Mei received the data in her workshop and grinned, "He finally broke it! I've been waiting! Ahhh! This cutie! I love him to death!" she was really happy, such a challenging 'customer' really stimulated her brain!

She used the data to create bigger and better things!

Bullet's costume had already been tweaked after the first usage to suit him more, but it generally looked the same. Just a little more tattered, like Forgotten armor!

Next to Mei was a robotic arm plugged into a big computer as she worked on it.

Of course, her baby will have to have all sorts of arms! He was too strong!

So she came up with an idea, but it was too early for this, for now, he'll have to make do with this new and improved 'Ultra Arm MK II'!

Finally, the days passed and Class-1A arrived at the Provision License Exam site!
