Final exams

Sekizan was currently performing his daily run, he still ran every single day as a form of training. He didn't do anything different in preparation for his final exams, nothing he could do would have an effect on such short notice.

Recently he's been focussing on conditioning his senses to be more independent of each other, so he performed his run blindfolded, relying on his hearing to map his way across the rooftops of the building he ran across. To do that he made a high-pitched noise with his tongue, like a click, to navigate the environment. This sound would bounce on the obstacles his way and come back to him, in turn giving him the input to maneuver in the territory.

His dad was already back at his house from the hospital, he was focused on meditation hoping to master the Seimei Kikan. He didn't sit around too much just because his legs were paralyzed, using his arms he performed some exercises for conditioning to maintain his shape in this period of inaction, he couldn't perform martial arts after all.

Sekizan liked to see his father working, it gave him hope that he would get better if he just continue on his path.

Class 1a was presently assembled on a mock city to perform their practical test of the exams. The written part was conducted earlier in the day, making the students anxious and excited to do their best on the practical part.

The students currently could see their teachers all together out in the field waiting for them, they were curious about the content of the test.

"Alright students, your objective is simple. You will form pairs and fight one teacher together in a real battle simulation as your practical test." Nezu said. He was the one who took charge of explaining the situation.

The students were in turn surprised by the objective of the test.

" How can we contend against the teacher? They are all professional heroes." Kaminari was the one voicing the thoughts of most of the group.

" You don't have to worry. We will use some ultra-dense weight bracelets to give you guys the chance to contend with us. To complete the objective your goal is to put a shackle on us or to escape to the city. Good luck." Nezu said. They began to get divided into pairs and assigned to a professor.

Sekizan was paired with Tsuyu, their opponents were selected to be Ectoplasm, The hero capable of making clones of himself.

" Let's give our best Sekizan-kun," Asui said to Sekizan. " Do you have a plan?" She continued.

" Yeah, I will focus on the teacher and you focus on escaping. This way our chances of winning are increased." He said, the professor they were about to fight was known to be a close combat expert, and he was curious to see it.

" Okay," Asui said as they approached the place where the exam will take place.

They were the first pair to do the exams so Sekizan took the lead to confront the teacher, he was in front of them in a building.

" I would take your restraints off if I were you," Sekizan said. He didn't like the idea of going against a restrained opponent.

" Let's see if you can make me." Ectoplasm advanced, making 10 clones.

The clones were an extension of his body so they were as powerful as himself. He sent all the clones in Sekizan's direction hoping to block his way.

Sekizan in turn took the lead to allow Asui to maneuver around the battle. He confronted the clones, destroying them easily with one strike.

The clones of Ectoplasm were strong but were fragile in resistance. One good strike was enough to dispel them.

The problem was the quantity. As Sekizan moves into the fray of enemies more and more clones come his way, All of them working in tandem to get an opening from him.

He dodged all the attacks he received, striking the clones with his limbs. He was moving as if his limbs had a will of their own, always punching and kicking at the most unexpected angles.

Sekizan saw that fighting like this will just overwhelm him eventually so he used Geppo to maneuver around the army of clones choosing to engage in a battle with the original.

Ectoplasm saw the tall teen easily defeat his clones and come his way by air and decided that it was best if he took a more distant approach. He used all the clones he made earlier and combined them into a giant copy of himself.

Sekizan saw the titan who got in his way and had to evade the massive arm that threatened to strike him down like a fly. He moved around dodging various attacks and decided to get this over quickly. Getting more distance he spun at high speeds to accumulate momentum and performed a move.

" Rankyaku." He sent a massive air sickle in the giant direction cutting him apart.

He took the opportunity as the clone was destroyed to quickly approach the teacher before he made more enemies for him to fight.

Coming from above with a stomp Sekizan landed on the ground as Ectoplasm evaded his attack, countering with a punch. Easily evading Sekizan grabbed the hero's mouth preventing him from making more clones.

After stopping his ability to make nuisances to annoy him Sekizan proceeded to use his free hand to strike at the hero's solar plexus. Making him get paralyzed, getting the cuffs he got to win the exam Sekizan quickly apprehended the clone hero, finishing the exam.

" Student team wins. Congrats to the pair." Nezu said, announcing the victory of the student duo.

Sekizan released the professor and turned around to go back to the others.

" You shouldn't have used restraints against me. Next time we can fight without rules holding you back." Sekizan said. He did not appreciate a fight where his opponent was not at his best.

" Sure kid." Ectoplasm said. He was impressed by the teen's skill.

Sekizan got back together with the others. Waving at Asui. By the time he was defeating the teacher, she was close to the exit. Making it so that even if by a miracle he could not defeat his opponent they still can win.

Sekizan watched the hai classmates fight, to pass the time. The battle of Bakugo and Midoriya against All Might sure was entertaining to watch.

By the end of the test, he was already thinking of something to do. What should he train when he got back to his house today?

(An; Man, a chapter to y'all today. I barely was able to write it. My creative juice was all but empty today after getting back home.

But the grind is eternal and like a wise man would say, you have to fight your inner bitch everyday to be good at something, so I grinded a little more than a 1000 words to you guy's.

This was not my best chapter, but it is a reflection of my state. Let's hope I can get some inspiration tomorrow. The grind don't stop after all.

Leave some stones for me, let's keep the ball rolling yeah? Hope you have a good night, I myself gonna croak after posting this. Exhausted.)
