Chapter 28 - U.A Entrance Exam 3

As the gates opened, a sea of eager examinees surged forward, scattering across the training field. Izuku cracked his knuckles, his eyes ablaze with excitement. 

"Time to show them what I'm made of!"

With a burst of speed, Izuku dashed into the fray. A three-pointer robot, towering over the others, rolled into his path. Izuku's grin widened. 

"Perfect."

[ Fire Dragon's Iron Fist! ] 

He roared, his fist engulfed in roaring flames. The punch connected with the robot's chest, melting through its metal armor and causing it to explode in a fiery blaze. Parts flew in every direction, but Izuku barely noticed as he moved to his next target.

He spotted a group of examinees struggling against a horde of one-pointers and two-pointers. Without a second thought, Izuku leaped into the air, spinning mid-flight. 

[ Fire Dragon's Wing Attack! ] Twin jets of fire shot from his hands, slicing through the robots like hot knives through butter. The other students stared in awe as the robots fell in heaps of smoldering metal.

"Keep moving! Don't let up!" Izuku called out, inspiring the others to press on. Izuku continued to blaze a trail through the robots, his every move a showcase to his strength and training.

As the timer counted down, Izuku found himself facing another group of three-pointer robots. He clenched his fists, ready to finish strong. 

[ Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame! ] He brought his hands together, creating a massive sphere of fire that he hurled at the robots. The explosion was spectacular, leaving nothing but molten scraps in its wake.

Izuku sprinted ahead, his senses sharp and body primed for combat. Almost immediately, he encountered a one-pointer robot. With a gleeful roar, he ignited his fists. 

[ Fire Dragon Iron Fist! ] 

He yelled, smashing through the robot with explosive force. The pieces of the destroyed robot hadn't even hit the ground before Izuku was off again, seeking out his next target. 

He reveled in the exhilaration of the hunt, his flames dancing in sync with his movements. One by one, the mechanical foes fell to his relentless assault.

After five minutes passed by and Izuku went above the scraper to see if there was anyone in trouble then the purple midget ran in fear making him facepalm at the coward.

'Jebus...this is just embarrassing, not only is he perverted but also a coward! I'm surprised that he passed the General Education department-oh shit!'

He barely noticed when the midget brought the robot that he was running from straight to a person that was being held by...a pair of clothes?

"Hagakure-San!" The person that he saved a few months ago was about to be attacked by the robot that detected the person she was trying to save. At that moment, Izuku blitzed into the ground passing through in a red streak arriving in the blink of an eye. 

Without hesitation, he charged toward a group of robots surrounding a few struggling examinees. With a swift motion, he summoned flames around his fist, imbuing it with more power. The air crackled with heat as he swung his fist forward, unleashing a torrent of fiery punches that tore through the robots' defenses.

[ Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist! ] Izuku shouted, his voice filled with power.

The explosive impact sent shockwaves rippling through the ground, shattering the surrounding pavement and sending the robots flying in all directions.

The nearby participants were baffled, unable to comprehend how someone could acquire this powerful quirk. Izuku did not care about his quirk, only considering them as a way to save more people.

"Hagakure-San are you alright?"

Izuku turned unable to see her expression but if he did then she was in shock seeing the same green haired boy that saved her a few months ago was standing before her and saving her once again.

"My hero…"

Few minutes ago, Toru Hagakure, whose quirk was not suited for the test, went pale if anyone could see it. She had enrolled for U.A in hopes to be a hero and meet her idol, the white knight that saved her without hesitation nor regret. 

But when present mic explained how the test was done and began to doubt. However, pushing herself then as she was in the gate shocked to find her hero and too stunned to approach him then saddened when he started to talk with another girl.

She started to get jealous seeing them together but Toru was close enough to hear their conversation and felt motivated to prove herself. 

Unfortunately, even with how hard she did the only quirk could do was be undetected by the robot and somehow find a specific button that shut it down.

Along the way Toru helped other participants until finding someone injured and helped the person stand up only for a midget to pass by then quiver in fear when a robot was about to attack them. 

As she was about to close her eyes, a bright light appeared then struck the robot to oblivion. Toru was astonished, witnessing the power like the others before her thoughts were interrupted by an unforgettable voice.

"I-I'm fine, Midoriya-san"

"Hold on, let me bring you to safety." Izuku took them to a place where it isn't dangerous, shocking them with how they appear in a different place. 

"Here, this should be safe enough. Well I have to go great seeing you, Hagakure-San."

"Wai-"

In a flash vanished in the spot leaving Toru frowning then felt her heartbeat recalling how he saved her twice now. She was more determined to get inside the U.A knowing her crush was going to be a student.

========

As the students were fighting robots, Melissa was watching everything on the screen. She was seated along with the U.A's teachers, observing the test. The spider girl felt her spider sense tingling, opting to frown.

"Are you alright, Melissa?" 

All Might asked in his skinny form. Melissa waved her hands. She found her uncle's condition a few months prior and had been helping her father and crush to help find a way to save him. 

"I'm fine Uncle Might. My spidey senses are just tingling."

"I think she just experienced this because her friends might be in danger."

The one who spoke was Nezu, a mouse...?bear..?...Chimera?...The rat god and the principal of U.A was watching the test in satisfaction while sipping his tea.

"It is expected knowing the exam is a lot harder than previous years, thanks to Melissa's help and making them faster and studier...the student may find it difficult to overcome." Neuz said. 

They saw an examinee ignoring someone who was stuck on rubble and continuing to gather more points, someone stealing points from another, and all sorts of actions that aren't befitting of a hero.

"However." All Might smiled hearing the rat god speak looking at the screen.

"It is also in this moment where true heroes will shine!"

They saw someone helping others, someone saving another from the missiles, some were teaming up, some were assisting those who were injured and many more!

"Still…" A female teacher began, looking at the screen that showed Izuku and Katsumi. 

"This exam is way too easy for these two. The green hairs especially his fire quirk and I do like strong boys~"

Everyone rolled their eyes while Melissa opted to glared that was noticed by her making an O expression before smirking.

'My my I wonder what makes this boy interesting~?'

Even while dealing with the robots, the two of them were also helping and assisting other examinees, though one of them out way the other in helping. 

"His speed and power is the most powerful quirk I've seen. What is the name of his quirk anyway?" A tall and muscular male teacher asked the same question everyone was wondering.

"Izu-chan told me that it's called Fire Dragon Slayer." Melissa said. 

"Fire dragon slayer?  Fascinating, can you share a bit of his quirk, young Melissa." Nezu asked.

"If I recall, Izu-kun said that he can turn into a real mythical dragon similar to Ryukyu but unlike her, he can use fire base abilities." Melissa explained, shocking the teacher.

"There's more to it?" Nezu said.

"Yes, he can eat fire to re-energize himself." This made everyone's jaws drop. Eat fire? Does that mean he can eat Endeavour flames!?

"Damn, this kid is a monster! What the hell were you feeding them, Allmight!?"

"Isn't he basically invincible?" One of them exclaimed. 

"No, Izu-kun has some weakness, namely his inability to ride vehicles and boats." Melissa said this but Izuku can remove his slayer magic temporarily relying solely on One for All. 

"Wait what!?" They shouted. 

Everyone baffled from the explanation and wanted to know more but they knew asking more led to more questions. In the end, They only stared at the young man both anxious and relieved that he was a hero rather than a villain, witnessing his speed and skills was terrifying.

They all witness the examinees running and leading the robot to another contestant that made them frown. 

"This isn't good, that kid just brought his enemy to another examinees and judging from her(?) quirk won't be able to fight back."

Said by a man with a mask similar to a gas mask wearing a cowboy outfit. Giving his judgment on the scene before him. Everyone agreed that the midget won't pass the exam because of his actions. 

"However, we must say that the young girl(?) to be heroic as she was willing to help others despite her quirk and had been lucky enough to find the weakness of the robots." 

"Yeah, a hero isn't just about overwhelming them by strength but also finding their weakness. Anyway, power loader aren't going to st-"

Before he could finish his words, a flash of white lightning moved across the camera. They were all astonished when the buildings were obliterated into smidirin. 

"Holy cow! What just happened!?"

"That was Izu-kun's Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist." Melissa's words made every teacher crane their heads in curiosity. 

"Super move? Nice name."

"Care to explain about your boyfriend's super move~?"

The female teacher teasingly asked, gaining a flustered spider girl. She noticed how Melissa explain had subtle affection for them. 

Meanwhile, Kaina was in the room watching it all amazed by her savior's combat prowess but that isn't what she was intently watching instead it was when he took the time saving other students. When she noticed Melissa felt confused why her heart fluttered in annoyance but decided to ignore it for now.  

"Come on, we're interested to know more about him~"

"Enough, Midnight. She won't be able to concentrate if you tease her."

"Aw, you're no fun, Aizawa. If you keep being broody then-"

The man named Aizawa who appeared to be an overwork college student with thick eyebags and messy hair glared at the female teacher, Midnight, who wore a skin tight costume.

Melissa finally calmed down looking at the screen, seeing Izuku take the people that he saved before continuing his exam.

"Thank you, Aizawa-Sensei. Izu-chan told me that Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist is when he gathers all his flames that he concentrates into his fist."

"That is simple enough. Thank you, young Melissa." Nezu said.

Back to Izuku, he felt a pang of guilt for leaving Toru behind, but the urgency of the exam demanded his full attention. He had a gut feeling that he would see her again soon. With a flash of resolve, he leapt into action, racing toward the cries for help echoing through the chaos.

Izuku's sharp eyes caught sight of five three-point robots barreling towards him. He clenched his fists, feeling the familiar surge of energy course through his veins. With a swift, powerful punch, he shattered the first robot into pieces

The second robot lunged at him, but Izuku was quicker, delivering a precise kick that sent it crashing into another robot. The collision triggered a spectacular chain explosion, debris raining down like metal confetti.

No time to breathe. Izuku's feet barely touched the ground before he launched himself forward again. He darted through the streets, a blur of speed and strength, saving other participants wherever he could. 

A massive robot, towering above the rest, lumbered into his path. Izuku squared his shoulders, eyes narrowing. This one would be tougher. The robot's mechanical arms swung at him with bone-crushing force, but Izuku dodged with lightning speed. He countered with a flurry of blows, each strike landing with precision, denting the robot's armor.

Suddenly, the robot's arm lashed out, catching Izuku off guard. He was flung backward, skidding across the pavement. With a primal yell, he charged at the robot, unleashing a powerful blast of energy that tore through its core, reducing it to a heap of smoking metal.

"I should have enoughs points in the top ten and if I keep destroying the villains then the others won't get the chance."

From there, Izuku decided to watch everything to stand by and just help anyone in need. He wasn't being arrogant nor was he confident. Instead Izuku did not want to steal other people's opportunity to be a hero. 

Izuku isn't selfish to do that and his goal is to be a hero not some show off kid. His master had already disciplined him when it came to being poisoned by power.  

He spotted people in danger and with a flash, he jumped down and sent a downward kick on a one pointer, completely obliterating the thing. It exploded into bits, causing a small crater on the ground. 

Before the robot could react, Izuku already moved in a flash, destroying the robots in a matter of seconds.

He then kicked on the air, creating a powerful wind pressure that sent him flying towards the closest robot. Izuku elbowed the head of the one pointer before moving to the next robot.

In a flash of red flames, the robots were being destroyed one by one. It wasn't even a challenge and decided to take it a notch and held his hand together.

[ Fire-Make: Cruel Sun Blade ]

Izuku shaped the flame into a blade, condensing it into a weapon that radiated an intense heat. The result was a black stiletto sword, thin and long, with a scorched blade that seemed to pulsate with power.

'I'm kinda ripping off old man Yamamoto, but whatever,' Izuku thought, smirking to himself as Igneel looked on, clearly impressed.

"To think you managed to learn Molding Magic simply by hearing about its potential," Igneel mused, shaking his head in disbelief. Although Igneel had only mentioned Molding Magic in passing, Izuku had trained relentlessly, crafting simple items with Momo's help, who had a similar magical ability.

Creating the Cruel Sun Blade required a series of steps, but the end result spoke volumes about Izuku's dedication and skill.

"Alright, let's see how this works," Izuku muttered, a grin spreading across his face. He swung the fiery sword at a nearby robot. The blade sliced through the air effortlessly, and the robot was vaporized in an instant, leaving nothing but scorched remnants.

'Still, this thing doesn't have the best durability,' Izuku noted as the weapon crumbled after some use. Despite its fragility, the destructive power of the Cruel Sun Blade was undeniable, reducing everything in its path to ash and cinders.
