Entrance Exam

[Issue1: I may or may not include a hint about the duo that I based Ryoto and Zoro's relationship on. Add this fanfic to your library to not miss the new chapter drops and increase the chances of guessing right. First to guess gets to create an OC—Issue2: Start suggesting potential Hero names for Ryoto. Keep in mind that one Quirk is Sharpness and the other one is Zoro's One Piece abilities (nerfed)--Issue3: Guesses will be updated every chapter. Until now, Yugi Muto and Atem, Yuji Sukuna, Ichigo and White/Zangetsu, Naruot and Kurama have been guessed but all have been wrong.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hundreds of teens appeared to be walking towards U.A High, Ryoto and Bakugo being two of them. For the past few months, their friendship thickened and so did their strength and rivalry.

"Get the fuck out of my way, Deku," Bakugo ordered, seeing the Quirkless boy staring at the most prestigious Hero school.

"I cannot fucking believe him... He really came here, huh," Zoro shook his head.

"Agh, who gives a shit? This is probably the last time we will see him anyway," Bakugo stated, walking past Deku.

'He got taller and put on some muscle," Ryoto realized.

'So what? Don't you see the state of my body? Without me, you would've stayed the same skinny kid you were before I came along," Zoro belittled.

Zoro was right, his appearance was a miracle-like event. Previously, Ryoto was 5 feet and 6 inches tall and 130 lbs. But now, he stood at a height of 5 feet and 9 inches and weighed around 160 lbs. His body was precisely trained to get the most out of the time they had. Ryoto's triceps, shoulders, back, chest and core muscles were his most prominent features. He kept his middle-long hair in a middle part with the sides being shorter. He also wore a silver earring on his left ear - which he was ordered to buy with the money he made from his 5th fool's dance in Musutafu. 'You have achieved basic one-sword mastery, but it wouldn't be enough to get an earring like that. The reason you have one is because of me,' Zoro reasoned.

Zoro sat at Bakugo's right side, and somehow, Deku found the courage to sit at Bakugo's left side. They sat inside a lecture that was packed with hundreds of students that wanted to absolve the entrance exam.

A Hero with weird, blonde hair entered the lecture hall and stood in front of all the students. He was dressed like a rocker and wore a pair of sunglasses. It was the Pro Hero Present Mic, 'the most obnoxious Hero', Zoro became annoyed, feeling nostalgic as well.

Present Mic explained what the exam would look like and how the students would be split up into groups to eliminate the possibility of friends teaming up and helping each other in the test.

"Defeating robots... I'm glad it's non-human. We don't have to worry about killing it by accident," Bakugo was already itching to fight.

"Do your best then, Bakugo," Ryoto said as he walked to his designated spot where a bus would bring him to training ground Zeta.

Ryoto realized something serious when he thoroughly researched the rules of the exam. No equipment and weapons were allowed unless a Quirk couldn't be used without them. These items were listed as lifestyle support items and could be used at the exam. So, Ryoto wrote the U.A High a message, saying that his Quirk could only work with sharp tools, in his case a Katana. U.A sent a message back confirming the nature of his Quirk and allowing him to use a sword once the exam commenced. All of what Ryoto said was a lie. He could in fact use his Quirk without a tool, but who wouldn't want his Quirk's full potential at his arsenal at a test so important?

Seeing the rather tall and bulky Ryoto holding a long, cloth bag, the students felt slightly intimidated. The students just knew that there was a sword inside the bag, but no one said anything and kept to themselves. They had to fight their own anxiousness.

With a teacher's confirmation, the test then started. The goal of this exam was simple. Get the most points by defeating 3 types of robots who each gave certain points while also avoiding the 4th robot that wasn't meant to be fought.

The students ran inside training ground Zeta. Ryoto and Zoro saw all kinds of Quirks being used, but they did not worry one bit.

'Time for you to use the techniques I taught you. Start with the phoenix,' Zoro advised, seeing a level 2 robot come their way.

'Alright.'

"9 pound Phoenix!" Ryoto swung his blade at seemingly nothing, his Quirk active as he did so.

The robot that was about 7 meters away from him suddenly received a huge cut at his robotic neck, severing it. Ryoto had used this technique for the first time, only seeing Zoro use it and going about with the feeling he felt when Zoro used it - almost instinctively and through muscle memory.

Ryoto got his first 2 points. Now, he was on to the next ones.

Sprinting across the streets of the dummy city, he passed many students that failed and some students who dominated. So was the case with the chicken-head whose Quirk was a weird shadow that was pretty strong.

Then, a level 3 robot burst out of a building straight at Ryoto and Zoro. The robot was big and shaped like a bull. Calm and collected as Zoro had taught, Ryoto prepared and yelled out his attack.

"One-sword style draw! RASHOMON!"

With so much speed and power, the robot who barely touched the blade of Ryoto's Quirk-enhanced Katana split into two pieces. Ryoto had cut the robot in half vertically.

'Nice,' Ryoto and Zoro agreed mentally.

It was safe to say that it continued on like that. Level 1 or 2 monsters were mostly similar. Most had animalistic features and were easy to predict. Fortunately though, something that Zoro hoped for appeared.

A level 3 robot the size of a man appeared. This robot had 2 rifles on his robotic arms that shot rubber rounds at students. Getting hit in the head or in the chest by it meant immediate failure for students.

Ryoto thought about running away at first, but Zoro simply advised Ryoto to switch.

'We never did projectile defense because we couldn't. Let me handle this,' Zoro said, preparing for the the rubber bullets that would come at him at any second.

"Raven Hunt!" Zoro yelled out, swirling the Katana in front of him to create momentum and speed just before the rubber bullets shot out the robot's arms.

PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG PANG

12 rubber bullets, each with a second interval, were shot at Zoro. There wasn't any other possibility, the the greatest swordsman easily cut the bullets in half, bringing them off course.

Ryoto then switched back into his body, engraving the feeling of Raven Hunt into his mind so he could replicate it later. The level 3 human-sized robot was cut into dozens of pieces shortly after Ryoto got control again.

SCREECH

Hundreds of loud screeching noises reached the students' ears. Looking at the general vicinity where the sound came from, they saw a whole dummy building collapse after small robots ate away the concrete. These small robot were a hive-mind program that was the level 4 robot the students were to avoid as per request.

The remaining students ran back to the training ground Zeta's entrance, fleeing from the hive-minded robot.
