Chapter 7
After a short trip with a Shuttle Bus, Izuku arrived at the Battle Ground he was assigned to, Battle Ground B. He stood in front of the Battle Center gate, examining the other applicants while he waited. He has seen some interesting quirks, one guy has multiple arms with skin tissue or webbing between them, another had black and white striped hair like a horn, and even a kid with a lens belt around his waist, then there is the nice girl he met earlier, Ochako Uraraka.
She still seemed as nervous as before. On the outside, everybody else seemed so confident, but after taking a closer look they were just as nervous. The Izuku from a few months ago would have been a completely scared mess at this point, but now although he was still a bit nervous, he is mostly calm and excited to show his progress. Maybe he should talk a bit to Uraraka, helping her overcome her stress.
Izuku started towards her but was stopped by a firm hand grasping his shoulder. "Who exactly are you my friend?" Izuku turned to see the square-shaped tall boy with Dark blue hair and stern eyes behind square-rimmed glasses, who asked the question in the Auditorium. "She looks like she's trying to focus. Are you really gonna distract her and ruin her chances to succeed?"
"And what about you?" asked Izuku who wouldn't take shit from others anymore, "You don't know anything about me. Besides you are the disruptive one, first in the Auditorium now here again."
Shocked by the backlash he received, the boy with the glasses was unsure how he should reply as he realized that he was indeed in the wrong right now. Izuku who still was a generally socially inept person didn't know how to go on himself, lucky for him he hadn't had to wait for his saving grace as President Mic's voice came from above.
"AAAANND START!" He used this signal to sprint into the mock City leaving the boy with glasses behind, as the gates opened in front of the Contestants. "WHAT'S THE MATTER? HE HAS THE RIGHT IDEA! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A COUNTDOWN IN A REAL BATTLE! RUN! RUUUN! CONSIDER THE BATON TOSSED."
When Present Mic announced that, everyone began surging forward into the exam sites, pushing each other as they did. While Izuku ahead of the pulk already arrived in front of the first group of Robots. Three of the brittle but fast One pointers with a Three pointer behind them.
"Target Lock-on. I am gonna kill you!" threatened the robots as they revved their wheels, speeding towards Izuku while the three pointers began aiming its rocket launcher at Izuku.
Instinctively Izuku stretched his arm out coating his fist in dark miasma, "Black Spiral!" he shouted as a spiral appeared on his fist pulling the three-pointer to him, crashing the three one-pointers on its way, as its headpiece got crushed by Izuku's incoming fist.
"Nice, six points. That's a good start." Muttered the green-haired darkness User, while sprinting further into the city toward the next group of robots.
The other participants also arrived at their first mock Villains as he heard shouts around him, "Three Points!" "Good, Two points!"
~In the Observation Room~
The staff of U.A. High was monitoring the situation at each site with a large and wide screen with multiple opened windows, each one monitoring and recording a different student or situation. Allowing the Staff to track the performance of each participant in the entrance exam. After all, this exam tested insight, agility, judgment, and fighting prowess, the basis needed for each hero to preserve peace in the cities.
"Oh my, we've raked in a bumper crop this year?" noted a female with a husky voice that would make many men fall prey to it.
"We can't be sure of that yet." replied All Might in his true form, 'That's the nervous young man from the Sludge Villain incident under the bridge. Let's see what he is made of.' smirking as he flicked open the protective cover above the big red button. "Their true test has yet to come." With that statement, the current No.1 Hero pressed the red button.
~A few moments earlier at Ground B~
"And that's 63 points!" grinned Izuku as he absorbed a Rocket from 3-pointers into the infinite space of his black hole away from him and launched it into another robot destroying it before putting a fist through the core of the three-pointer.
As he pulled his fist back out, he looked around to see others destroying more and more robots. He saw one creeping up to another contestant, who whirled around and tried to attack back, but the villain bot was faster. Or would've been if Izuku had not used his Black Spiral to pull it towards him once again crushing it, gaining another point, and saving the desperate-looking contestant.
The indigo-haired boy with dark eye-bags watched him with a bit of jealousy as he easily destroyed the bot, turned away, and run no more desperate than before looking for another bot.
Izuku once again focused and began to evaluate his Surroundings, as he spotted Uraraka a few meters away from him. "Pheeew… 28 points." She muttered after destroying a group of faux villains by dropping them from the Sky. 'Her Quirk is related to Gravity.' Realized Izuku.
At another spot the square-shaped teen with glasses kicked a robot in his head, destroying it. Izuku spotted steaming Engines on his legs as the teen loudly counted, "45 points!" 'Hmmm, a speed Quirk. With such a Quirk he is probably the best after me in this Battle Ground. So the number of points I have should be enough to pass.'
A loud crash disrupted his concentration. His mouth dropped open and all thoughts of the exam fled his mind as he craned his neck to take in the sight of the towering behemoth. A titan, standing at least 20 meters tall with such bulky armor that it had to weigh at least several hundred tons. It approached them slowly, but unrelenting. Ramming through anything in its path, leaving only crushed buildings in its wake.
Spotting the dark red zero on its body, the ominous zero that so sharply contrasted its green carapace. 'That's the zero-pointer… Damn, how much money does U.A. have, if they can pull something like that out for the Entrance Exam.'
He turned on his heels, ready to run away with the other contestants. 'No need to engage since they don't give any points. So what is their purpose in the exam? Just a warning that there is always someone stronger out there?' questioned Izuku as he was running out of the Area when a pained cry reached his ears.
"Owww…".
Purely on instinct, Izuku's head turned on its own. Looking at the direction the noise had come from, searching, when his eyes caught on a mop of auburn brown hair. Uraraka. Partially buried under rubble. Possible injured. And directly in the zero pointers path.
Without hesitation, Izuku ran forward, bypassing the boy with glasses as he did so.
'What is he doing?' thought the uptight as he turned his head to look back, 'Did he forget that fighting the fourth villain bot doesn't bring you any points? He's... oh. Ohhh shit.'
Sprinting towards the massive Zero pointers black miasma spread all over his body, expanding towards the surrounding area and stretching below the body of the robot. "Black Hole!"
Before it could reach Uraraka the Zero Pointer was falling down from the gravity of the Black hole, completely submerging in the Darkness as it couldn't move its mechanical limps anymore, from the restrictions of being a robot and the applying force.
The other Contestants were completely shocked by this display of power as the Voice of Present Mic resounded in the Area. "1 MINUTE LEFT!"
"You okay Uraraka?" asked Izuku as he approached to help the girl buried by rubble.
"My leg is probably broken." Replied the Girl as she watched Izuku remove the Rubble by absorbing it with his Darkness.
"There will be probably a medic present." Said Izuku just as the voice of Present Mic resounded once again. "THE TEST IS OVER!"
A few moments later the elderly hero Recovery Girl arrived, taking care of the wounded before the Exam finally wrapped up for today. Uraraka passed out from the exhaustion of the healing quirk, so he had no chance to say Goodbye to her before he left home.
