12: Gimmick
•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•
A few seconds earlier...
"Hehe, should I send the "gimmick" out now?" the Principal giggled.
"Whatever you deem is okay, Principal Nezu." someone told him.
A deep voice then added, "I say send it out. See what these brats will do when they're panicking."
"Alright... Let us see what these Future Heroes will do when facing gigantic adversities!" Principal Nezu exclaimed, cackling like a maniac, while the rest of them sweat-dropped.
'Rat Satan...'

Back in "Site C"...
Yusuke coughed as he deactivated his protective dome. The robot moved once more, threatening to crush all of the incapacitated examinees.
He pushed his hands backward, and the wind blew intensely, dissipating the dust. With his vision now clear, he could see both knocked-out examinees and conscious but-injured examinees. He then smiled as he saw a certain black-haired teenager punching fallen debris to free someone.
Yusuke pulled back his hands, and the people on the ground were pulled towards him as well, saving them from any further harm by the gianormous robot. He was sure that U.A. wouldn't allow the Zero-Pointer to give them severe injuries... but better safe than sorry.
He looked at the moving robot and a thought came to his mind.
Could he take it down?
Well, considering its slow speed, there is a chance he could. Plus, if his attacks are ineffective, then he could still slowly chip away at its body. It would just take a long time, though.
"One minute left!" He heard Present Mic announce.
Yusuke looked at the other examinees. He twisted his hand and gathered them together. He then glanced at the Zero-Pointer and shrugged.
"There's no harm in trying!" he said out loud, and some of the conscious teens heard it.
'Recovery Girl can just patch me up anyway.' he added silently, before flying towards the robot.
...
"I-is he going to try and fight that... humongous robot?" someone muttered.
"He's insane!"
...
The giant robot raised its hand, trying to slap Yusuke. But, the teen straightened his body, flying through the gap of its fingers. He flew around the android, confusing it, and quickly rushing to its chest.
He doubted his attack would do anything, but he still held out his palm.
"Rasenshur- Ahem- Fujin's Breath." he said, thinking gloomily, 'It doesn't sound as cool...'
A sphere-like construct was formed with blades sticking out, spinning around it rapidly. He thrusted the attack into the robot's chest. Surprising him, it actually managed to pierce the android, with the blades still spinning rapidly.
Yusuke smiled contently as a roughly circular hole was formed. He looked back, only to see a gigantic fist heading towards him. His eyes widened as a gust of wind blew him upwards, dodging the robot by a hair's breadth.
He spun in the air and looked at the Zero-Pointer. Electricity crackled from where the robot hit itself. It seems like the fist had quite the force since it penetrated its own chest.
'My attack probably weakened its chest area...' the teen thought.
The giant android started to slowly fall backward, destroying a few buildings in its path.
"Heh." Yusuke snorted, before adding with a smile, "Well, that worked out great."
He glided down and once he reached the floor, his face gained a tired look. The adrenaline stopped kicking in, and he could finally feel the exhaustion from flying all over the place.
He flopped to the ground and lay there with a tired smile.
"Time's up!!!" he heard Present Mic announce.
"That was certainly fun..." he stated in a knackered voice, before losing consciousness.
...
"That guy really did it..." someone mumbled.
"Yoarashi-san... defeated that humongous robot..." a certain black-haired muttered in disbelief and admiration.

After a few hours, Yusuke woke up in a completely different place. There were hospital beds lined up, with curtains giving the patients privacy.
He stretched his arm and stood up. Scanning the room, he could see that he wasn't the only one sleeping. However, an android saw him.
<Oh. A human has woken up. Here, weakling. Take it and go.> it said in a robotic voice, giving him a chocolate bar.
"Thank you..."
...
[𝕺𝖓𝖊 𝖂𝖊𝖊𝖐 𝕷𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖗...]
Yusuke sat at a table, eyeing an envelope sent by U.A.
"Alright then. Let's take a look at the results," he said to himself, ripping the envelope in half.
A small circular device fell, and a deafening laugh came as a projection came out of it.
"HA HA HA! I greet you as a projection!" a blonde muscular man was shown.
The man continued while the teen looked blankly at the projection.
"Greetings, Young Yoarashi! Yes! The rumors are true! I am in town for one reason only..." he said loudly, posing while doing so. He continued, "I have come to teach at U.A- What? Get to the point you say?!", but it seems like he was cut off by a person behind the camera.
'All Might's a great hero, but he's too... energetic...' Yusuke thought with a broken smile.
"Kuhum, I'm sorry about that, Young Yoarashi." the man said in a deep tone, his voice full of shame.
"In your Written Test, you did very well! You passed with an 'A'! As for your Practical Test..."
"Well, why don't I just show you!" All Might said, giving the people behind the camera a dirty look, before muttering, "I have to do many more..."
Yusuke couldn't help but snicker when he saw his scores.
The results are...
