----------

Following closely behind, Bakugo, and Mashirao Ojiro,used their exaggerated jumping ability to flip over the robots and approached Yoarashi Inasa and Todoroki Shoto in front.

Most people, including some students in Class A, were stopped by the robots.

Even Momo was caught in the same predicament.

"Is this the kind of machine that ordinary students face in the entrance exam? I'm not very good at dealing with this type."

Momo Yaoyorozu frowned, thinking about a strategy, and said, "Let's create a jammer."

Just as Momo was preparing to take action, a familiar tall figure walked past her.

"Itadori?"

The person who was standing two meters in front of her and suddenly stopped was Itadori.

While most of them were blocked by the robots, Itadori, who had been leisurely standing at the last position at the starting line, had already caught up!

"Want me to give you a hand?"

There was a teasing, joking tone in Itadori's voice.

"No, I'll rely on my own ability in this sports festival. Even if my opponent is you, I won't show mercy." Momo replied with a confident smile, firmly rejecting Itadori's offer.

"Target, locked!"

Suddenly, three obstacle robots waved their fists and charged toward them.

"Ah!"

Behind Momo, Ochako Uraraka couldn't help but panic and leaned toward her for support.

"What? I don't even need to try." Itadori said as he casually stretched out his right hand. With a simple twist of his palm, the swinging fist of the robot was rendered useless.

With a decisive motion, he twisted the steel arm.

Boom!

It was like a powerful dunk in basketball.

The robot, as large as an African elephant, crashed to the ground in a deafening thud.

"Wow, that's amazing. He can actually toss that robot around like a toy."

"Is he a strength-based Quirk user?"

"He seems to be from Class A. Does anyone have information on him?"

The crowd began whispering about Itadori, some impressed, others curious.

However, most spectators assumed Itadori had used his Quirk and dismissed him as just another power-type ability user. At best, they rated him "above average."

Characters like Todoroki Shoto and Yoarashi Inasa still garnered more attention for their elemental-based Quirks.

But experts knew better.

The rest of Class A—Momo, Izuku Midoriya, Ochako Uraraka—and even faculty members like Principal Nezu, All Might, and Shota Aizawa, along with Hero Association representatives and police officers watching the event, knew the truth.

Itadori hadn't used his Quirk at all to flatten the robot.

It was sheer physical strength.

"His potential is limitless." Aizawa muttered, "It's like seeing All Might in his younger days."

All Might, watching from a corner of the audience, had a serious look, "Itadori, both in personality and physique, could be the best successor to *One For All*."

Itadori's casual destruction of the three robots left even Momo with no choice but to follow him. Unless she had extra time to practice on other robots, sticking with Itadori was the safest option.

A few Class A girls, including Ochako Uraraka, also kept close.

When other students tried to exploit the opening left by Itadori, they were met with an unexpected response.

Itadori turned and kicked the wreckage of the destroyed robot, sending it flying toward the trailing group.

Boom!

The debris knocked the opportunistic students to the ground.

"Wait! I'm not there yet!" Midoriya cried out in frustration, struggling to catch up.

"Once you fall, you'll never have a chance again! If you don't want to be eliminated, crawl over there!" Present Mic's voice echoed as the participants reached the next stage.

A massive canyon stretched ahead, hundreds of meters deep. Thin steel cables connected stone pillars scattered throughout the canyon, each towering over ten meters high.

"Thanks, Itadori-kun. I'm heading off now!"

Asui, with her frog-like agility, waved at Itadori before leaping onto a tightrope and moving forward with ease.

"Don't call me that." Itadori muttered with a raised eyebrow, surveying the setup.

"Itadori, aren't you moving yet?" Momo asked. She had already used her Quirk to create a zipline and was preparing to advance.

"No, you go ahead." Itadori replied with a sly chuckle.

Momo hesitated briefly before nodding, "Fine, but be careful." She was already used to Itadori's mysterious behavior.

As more students started climbing the ropes, Itadori summoned his Quirk, *The World*. A ghostly figure materialized, and with a swift slash, it severed most of the steel cables leading to the first stone pillar.

"That's too much!" Present Mic shouted in disbelief, "Itadori has destroyed almost all the steel cables in one go. How many will be eliminated now?!"

The audience roared in excitement, enjoying the chaos Itadori had caused.

"Ah! Itadori, you..."

Midoriya's frantic voice broke through the noise as he carried a piece of robot debris toward the remaining cable.

"...Oh."

Itadori glanced at him for a few seconds before retracting *The World*.

With a smirk, he left the last cable intact.

Effortlessly, Itadori leaped across the canyon's stone pillars, leaving the trailing students scrambling for the sole remaining path.

"That's too much!" Midoriya growled, forced to fight with others for a chance to cross.

Despite the animosity Itadori might have generated, it didn't matter to him. After all, those without names didn't deserve his concern.

At the front, Todoroki, Inasa, and Bakugo slowed as they reached the minefield—a 400-meter-long stretch littered with hidden explosives. Even Inasa, with his brief flight capabilities, hesitated to cover the entire distance.

Carefully, they proceeded, observing the ground for any signs of mines.
