Chapter : 21 The Apex

I shall cut out this memory

and sew it on me like a patch

.

in a thousand lives i will not outgrow

this smile you put on me

.

i will trace and retrace the moment

till my soul carries your name

.

and i swear on every bride's white lace

to wear your kiss to my grave

..

(3rd POV)

In a dark room there were several figures and they were all staring at something...

There were many screens infront of them and they were looking at it..

The screen shows different camera angle of the ongoing UA practical exam..

"Seems like we have a lot of talent this year!!" One figure spoke out..his voice was deep and enthusiastic..

"Looks more like lot of troubles.." Another figure spoke..the tone was lazy and laidback.

"Yes..and I designed the battlefield to fully gauge their capability.." A squeaky voice was heard..

This shadowy figure was not that of a human..it was smaller and more animal-like.

"A wide battlefield with limited time..it brings out the best in them" The voice continued..

One of the screen in the middle enlarged and it shows the practical exam that currently took place..

The students were fighting the robots as best as they can..some helping each other while others were strong enough to destroy the robots all on their own..

"There are those who can assess the situation in an instant.." The video in the big screen changed and it showed a student with wing-like limb on top of a high building..

There were 3 eyes and 3 ears on the end of the wing like limb..The participant was gathering information by sound and sight..

Locating robots and assessing the position and condition of his fellow participant..

"They are intelligent gatherers."The squeky voiced continued..

" Then there are those who will never be late for the party.." The screen changed and it shows a young man..running as fast as he could while destroying robots left and right..

He had an engine like legs, little pipes protruded from his calfs and those produce flames..to boost his speed..

"They are mobility experts."..

"Those who can cope with any given situation.." The screen showed a red haired boy, he had some difficulty destroying a 3 pointer robot so he climb up a tall building and jump off from it...

He harded his body and crash land on the robot..It was a reckless thing to do..It was either brilliance or madness..

"Decision makers."..

"Then there are natural born fighters " The screen changed and it shows a yellow haird boy with a tail..he destroyed the robots left and right..

Each of his movement was trained and disciplined..His tail was used as a way to shift his body weight fluently and each strike of his was already supernatural..

Then, he jumped high up...jumping off from a car..He used his tail to spin and build a strong momentum of force..

His tail struck at a 3 pointer robot..all the force gathered was released at a single point of contact..

The robots armour caved in and it fell..broken..

"They are the warriors."

"And then finally..there are thoes who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others." the screen changed and it showed Midoriya..fighting 1 pointer robots..

The robots movements were programmed so they were predictable for him..He swiftly dodged the attacks and got close to the robot..

Then he attack the weak spots with a rod..it shut itself down even though it had no other visible damage..

The robot was a 1 pointer so it was simple..

But then he saw others who got surrounded by 2 pointer robots..he rushed to them and put his hand up for a flick...

The flick create shockwave that crushed the robots..but his finger was damaged severely..

But he ignored the pain and help the others get to a safe place..ignoring his injury and earning points for himself..

"The heroics" The squeaky voiced finished and let out a content sigh..

..

..

"But then, what is that.." One of the figure spoke out and point towards a small screen in the corner..

The screen was dragged to the middle and enlarged..it shows a boy in the sky..a ball of yellow energy between his palms..

He let go of the ball and a lazer shot out from it...slicing everthing including the giant robot and the buildings..

And then the cut lines exploded and it destroyed many buildings..and the robot itself turned to ash..

It was a show of unstoppable power...

..

"..The powerhouse who can over turn any situation with sheer power and strength.." The small shadow tilt its head slightly..

"The Apex."

(MC POV)

I watched the sceane of destruction with satisfaction..The robot was no more..and other stuff also went with it..

I saw some drones amd robots fly towards the flames caused by the explosion..they began extinguishing the flames...

I landed on the ground and sat down.."Fuuahh...That took a lot of power.." I was feeling very tired..My power reserve was low and it was regenerating at normal speed..

"AND ITS ALL OVER!!" I heard the lound voice of President mic..His voice echoing throughout the city..

"Well...I'm pretty sure I will take first place" I grin at my own statement..

'Yeah..it would be impossible to get more points than me." I destroyed over hundreds of those robots..

I got up and went towards the exit...I saw many other participants, and they were talking about me..

"Wow..did you see his last attack..it was insane!!"

"Damn..I wish I could be as strong as him"

"So cool!!"

"Do you think he has a grilfriend?"

'Hehehe....be more amazed!!' I had a smile of satisfaction on my face..these extras are finally seeing how superior I am..

Thats righ..no one is above me..I am the Peng clan young master!!

..

"Well..enough arrogance for the day.." I was about to leave the gate and get the fuck out of this place but I heard a voice..

"Wait!!" A voice of a girl..I turned back and saw the familiar light brown hair..

Her face was coverd in a bit of dust and her clothes were torn here and there but she still managed to pull off a very nice look...

"Um...I want to thank you..for-" She was a little awkward and fidgety..but I cut her off before she could say more..

"I was not doing anything..I wanted to fight the giant robot and you were in the way of that.." I told her..rather coldly..

'Am I a tsundere?'

"Eh?" She let out a confused sound before shaking her head and saying again.."Even if its not your intention...thank you, for saving me back there" She did a bow to show her gratitude..

I just turned around and walk away..'She is a nice girl..'

But after five steps, I stoped and replied back.."Your welcome.." I continued going on my way..

"I hope we meet again!!" I heard a yell from behind..

'Me too..' I just waved my hand in acknowledgement..without turning back..

That would be lame..

"So..how did it go?" I asked Deku who was walking beside me..he was waiting for me outside the UA gate..so I decided to go home together with him..

"Um..it was fine, I did not get too many points but..I tried my best." he replied with a conflicted look..I could see his injuired fingers which were covered in bandages..

Three of them...one in his right and 2 in his left..

"How about you Kacchan?" He asked..his eyes tured to me with curiosity..

"I got the highest point and I did not even try." I huffed with fake arrogance as those words left my mouth..

"Eh? But the results are not out yet though?" Deku asked..

"Are you doubting me?" I gave him 'the stare'..

"No!! I am sure you did Kacchan.."

Heh...and this guy is supposed to be the main character..

The sun was setting...colouring the sky with orange hue..

The cold air of February blew away my tiredness and put me at peace..

'Well..today was...rather remarkable' I thought back on everything that happened today..especially the brown hair girl..
