3 Entrance Exam 3

As soon as we got the all clear, my eyes lit up as orange and yellow flames ignited on each of my hands which propelled me through the air, clearing the distance between me and the rest of the competitors.

Landing on top of a building I use small bursts of flames to throw me short distances and pass over the roof tops quickly.

Reaching the end of this row of buildings, my jet black hair waves in the wind as I look down on the variety of villain bots scattered around the streets beneath me. Observing them momentarily, one of my hands form a ram sign as multiple spears of fire formed around me.

Waving my hand in front of me, the flame spears were launched towards the bots at high speeds. Once they hit their respective marks, the projectiles exploded on impact dealing heavy damage to the walking piles of points.

The explosions lit up the streets, leaving behind only charred chunks of scrap metal and dark plumes of smoke that rose into the sky.

"I knew this was going to be dull" I sighed in disappointment.

Honestly I was hoping for a little more exhilaration from the practical after that snooze fest of a writing exam, but I guess you don't always get what you wish for.

As the students began arriving at the location, I left the scene and boosted my way over to the next area that had a decent amount of bots.

Flying over the rooftops it never long to reach another batch of robots, only this time there was a couple students clashing with them and earning some points.

There was quite a few funky quirks going around, some scarecrow looking fucker was spewing glue over bots and immobilising them for the points. While not far form it an athletic looking orange haired girl was crushing bots left and right with her massive hands.

Damn, wouldn't want to be hit by those things.

Standing with my feet on the edge of the roof, a ball of flames appears in the palm of each of my hands. Taking a second to rise their temperature higher I throw both constructs at the targets below, but unlike last time I never made the flames explode on impact.

This time I kept their shapes, and with their high temperature and condensed form the fizzle straight through the bots metal plating, leaving their prey with hollow charred holes through them.

Once they burned through one bot I just manipulated them to home in on the next closest, causing a chain of scorched automations to be left in their wake.

Suddenly my head jerks to the side as a large metal appendage narrowly missed my face. Making some distance between my attacker, I take a quick look at the two pointer that must've climbed up the side of the building.

I think this model was called an imperial bot or something, anyway getting a closer look at one, they kind of resemble a robotic scorpion with the long metallic arm connected to its back.

Not dwelling on that thought for long I dash at my opponent as it's mechanical telson lunged for me again.

Coating my fists with fire, I slipped it's jab, then swung at the machines appendage. It's metal outer coating stood no chance in the clash as my fist melted straight through, cutting it off from the main body.

Not letting up I hold my fists in front of me and command my flames to burst outwards. The resulting blast deformed the robot beyond fixing and it's parts were scattered over the rooftop.

With no more points to be gaining sitting around I move onto another area where the Villain bots were amassing.

This process was repeated until the final minute. The zero pointers were activated and colour me surprised when I saw a robot towering over the surrounding buildings.

I thought the 0 pointer would just be a stronger version of the others. On the slideshow President Mic talks us through it was shown as the same size as the others, so I wasn't expecting much from them.

But looking at the colossal hunk of metal tear through buildings like it was nothing got my blood boiling.

It was on the other side of the battle centre and with the clock ticking I had to get there fast if I wanted a crack at it.

Finding a nearby rod of iron or some other metal, one of its ends ignites as it began to flyat high speeds towards me.

Just before it passed by my hand latched onto it with a firm grip as it flew me in the direction of the huge bot.

In next to no time I was next to it, circling around looking at for it's weaknesses.

As I done that the participants on the streets beneath crazily ran away from the beast. Those with speed type quirks making it away easily, while the others we cutting it close and praying for the exam to end before it caught up with them.

While this was happening my excited mood dropped. There was just too many openings and weak points on the 0 pointer, so there wasn't going to be a blood churning battle taking place anytime soon.

Maneuvering under one of its punches I got round to its rear, while the fist smashed into a nearby building.

Letting go off the rod I fall towards the ground, sticking the landing before the bot had the time to swivel around.

Aiming for it's ankle joints, flames being roaring on my palm and I get into a certain martial art stance.

'Iai Hand-Sword: First Form - Fire Moon'

The slice of my arm caused an intense wave of crescent flames of fly at the machine, crushing it's way straight through its legs.

With nothing to balance on the zero pointer lost it's balance and began to tumble forwards.

Underneath the shadow of the falling mech were some injured students, terrified at the the prospect of being crushed.

Luckily for them before it could happen, several pieces of flaming debris moved them away from its landing site.

Why I saved them you might ask?

Well apart from being a decent human being, it's not my style to get bystanders caught up in the damage from my fight... and because UA probably wouldn't like it if students got injured because of me.

Basically I was saving myself from a future headache.

As the zero point smacked the ground, the surrounding buildings began to tremble but that was the only effect it had.

Before I could do anything else I condensed a large ball of fire above my head. Taking aim, I was shot at the bots head.

The resulting explosion was massive, lighting the entire street up with a yellow glow. Once the smoke cleared all that was left of the head was a seared mess of electricals.

Seconds after I finished disabling the zero pointer the alarm went off, signifying the end of the test.

The robots still around all began to power off, slouching over in what must be their resting position. While the most students heaved in exertion, tired from the constant fighting and quirk use.

"All participants please leave the battle area. If you have any injuries, report to the infirmary where UA staff will be stationed. If you don't you are free to leave the UA premise, the entrance exam is now complete" Said a mechanical voice through the speakers.

With that I began to make my way out, leaving the destruction behind for someone else to clean.

As I passed through the gates the girl from the bus hopped over to my side.

"Wow, Shinmon that's quite a powerful quirk you've got there. I never thought a student would've been able to take down that massive zero pointer, and you took down so many of the other villain bots I thought there wasn't going to be enough for the rest of us." she excitedly mentioned.

"What is your quirk by the way? It seems similar to Endeavours the number 2 hero"

Endeavour, that a name I've not heard in a while. I don't really watch tv but I've watched bits and pieces of him using his quirk for ideas. Hibachi used to talk about him a lot back in the day, although it was normally him gloating about how he could take him in a fight.

"My quirks called Ignition, lets me create my own flames. Not sure if it has much in common with Endeavour though apart for it being a fire type quirk" I responded.

"Sure, Sure, whatever you say. Anyway what you doing now the exams finished, have you got somewhere to be?" she asked curiously.

"Not really, I need to get a train back home at some point though" I stated in a plain tone.

"Want to come get something to eat? I know some good places near here ribbit"

While walking I mull over my answer. It wouldn't hurt to get to know the area better, and Asui seems nice enough might as well go with her.

"Sure, seems like a good idea" I answered as we left the UA premises.

"Great follow me, I'm sure you'll love this place" Asui cheerily said as we went off into the city of Musutafu.
