Second Match

["Team Tokoyami and Asui, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

As soon as the exam starts, Ectoplasm immediately made tons of clones of himself.

"I forgot to tell you. We, teachers are also trying to crush you with everything we have. Luckily, I'm not as kind as the first examiner. Let's put an end to this right now." Without warning, Ectoplasms attacked both Tokoyami and Asui.

Tokoyami immediately instructed Dark Shadow to protect them from the clones. After that, Tokoyami instructed Dark Shadow to throw Tsuyu high as she used her long froglike tongue and pulled Tokoyami away from the clones. Then, both of them ran towards the finishing line rather facing Ectoplasm head-on.

"So you're running, huh?" Ectoplasm said as he created more clones.

Ectoplasm quirk allows him to make clones of himself. He can produce about 30 at once.

"Woah! Their teamwork is superb!" Boboiboy praised.

"An escape only those two could pull off!" Midoriya added.

"Communication skills. In this society, it's a simple but important skill for heroes to have." Recovery Girl said to them

"Um... I have a question. Even though this is an exam each student is being made to deal with their weakness on purpose, right?" Midoriya asked the hero.

"That's right."

"I wonder what Tokoyami and Asui have to work on. I can't imagine Ectoplasm-sensei's quirk being a bad match-up for them." Midoriya commented.

"You're right. Well, at least for Tsuyu. But Tokoyami..." Boboiboy replied after he observe more of their exam. He knew Tokoyami was struggling at the moment, since he fought Tokoyami before.

"Tokoyami's strength is his quirk attack and the rage that let him keep his distance. However, he has one critical weakness in that he can't defend himself without Dark Shadow and that pits him at disadvantage without Tsuyu covering his back, right?" Boboiboy commented which got a full mark from Recovery Girl.

"Who knew that Tokoyami had such a weakness." Uraraka said.

"I see. With Ectoplasm's quirk, he can create may versions of himself as he desired and those clones can appear unexpectedly too." Midoriya added.

"That must be the reason why Tokoyami is being paired by Tsuyu!" Uraraka commented.

"Exactly. You see, Asui here is an excellent student with no clear weakness. Therefore, she must provide support to her ally. Besides, her ability to keep calm can provide emotional support to others in crisis." Recovery Girl explained.

Back with Tokoyami and Tsuyu. Both of them had defeated almost 28 clones. However, Ectoplasm started revealing his trump card in which he created a huge clone. Almost rivalled Mount Lady in her giant form. The huge clone attacked Tokoyami and Tsuyu and managed to trap them.

Dark Shadow tried to engage Ectoplasm in a battle for victory. However, being a pro hero, Ectoplasm easily over-powered Dark Shadow in combat battle.

"He can't go through against a pro head on, huh?" Tokoyami said.

"But if he cam reach, then we have a chance. Have Dark Shadow take this, Tokoyami. Don'tlook closelysince sensei might notice and besides... It'sreally gross..." Tsuyu said.

Without Ectoplasm realizing it, she swallowed the handcuffs and stored in her stomach. This is something she can do with the help of her quirk that can take things in and out of her stomach.

After Dark Shadow continuing battled Ectoplasm, Tokoyami suddenly called him and secretly taking the handcuffs from Tsuyu. After that, Dark Shadow once again attacked Ectoplasm and a huge blow was heard after that.

"If we became unable to move then this would be the only way to win." Tsuyu said as the shadow bird managed to place the handcuffs on one of Ectoplasm's leg, winning the match between the teacher as well as passing the exam.

"He's been handcuffed!" Uraraka jumped happily.

"They passed!" Boboiboy commented.

"Dark Shadow and Frog. They were able to use both their quirks well together!" Midoriya cheered.

["Team Tokoyami and Asui have passed!"]

While Midoriya and Uraraka was praising Tokoyami and Tsuyu, Boboiboy had another thoughts in mind.

'So, the teachers paired everyone based on their weaknesses too. That explains why Bakugo and Midoriya was put in the same team. They are basically like cats and dogs. And I probably was put in the team as middle person to stop their fights or something.' Boboiboy looked at Midoriya before stared at the screen.

'But still. We're up against All Might. You can say escaping is the wise choice but I'm sure Bakugo will not agree and decided to defeat All Might. That's where our team's weakness came. Communication and cooperation. Is there something I can think of to use our weaknesses as advantages?' Boboiboy thought.

_________

Third Match

["Team Iida and Ojiro, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

Iida and Ojiro were up against Power Loader. They're backed into a corner since neither can really harm the hero and they need to run to the escape gate.

"We're running out of place to stand..." Iida said as Power Loader had set pitfalls all over the ground in order to trap them.

"The current topography gives our opponent an advantage. In order to keep damage down to a minimum and defeat him, I think going to find a hero with a quirk advantageous against our opponent is the best choice!" Iida said.

"In other words, we should run, right?"

"Exactly... Therefore... FUSION!"

Ojiro was forced to piggyback Iida and that is their fusion form. Iida ran at full speed towards the gate despite the unstable ground.

"We're going faster than the holes are forming. If we keep going like this-"

"Kekeke! I wonder?" Power Loader made a giant pitfall in front of them.

"We're going to fall!" Ojiro shouted.

"Find the best solution, Tenya! What would Midoriya and Boboiboy do if they were in my situation!" Iida mumbled before he finally got an idea.

He jumped and instructed Ojiro to wrap his tail around his leg which Ojiro immediately followed.

"Recipro Extend!" Iida used his special move and tossed Ojiro to the escape gate while while he used his tail to dodge Power Loader's attacks. Finally, he secured victory for both of them.

["Team Iida and Ojiro have passed!"]

________

"Awesome! They pass!" Boboiboy jumped happily before high-fived with Midoriya.

"Yeah, they did their best!" Uraraka added.

After a while, Iida and Tsuyu entered the monitor room.

"Iida! Tsuyu! Congratulations on passing the exam!" The three of them congratulated both Iida and Tsuyu.

"Thank you" both of them flattered.

"Next is the fourth battle, huh? Todoroki and Yaoyorozu against Aizawa-sensei." Iida said as he was looking at the screen. The fourth battle was about to start.

___________

Fourth Match

["Team Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

"Yaoyorozu! It doesn't matter what you make. Just keep creating some small objects. When you can't make them anymore, then that means Aizawa-sensei is close. This exam will depend on who finds the other first! Once we can see him, I'lldraw him to me." Todoroki said as Yaoyorozu started making something using her quirk. She was making Russian matryoshka dolls while Todoroki kept his guards up.

"I expect nothing less from you, Todoroki. You were able to come up with a plan to use against Aizawa-sensei so quickly and you were able to determine what would be best at once." Yaoyorozu said, showing slightly insecurity in her.

"It's nothing special."

"Nothing special? As students who got into UA through recommendations, we started from the same place but in terms of the practical skills a hero needs, I haven't done anything that stands out. During cavalry battle, I just did what you said. In my own fight, I lost before I could do anything against Tokoyami." Yaoyorozu continued.

That's when they didn't realised that Yaoyorozu had stop making those small dolls.

"He's coming!" Todoroki prepared himself.

"Sorry-"

"If you realised that, then you should immediately start acting!" Aizawa said while hanging upside down above them like a spiderman.

Aizawa immediately actived his quirk while Todoroki instructed Yaoyorozu to run away as he distract the hero. She followed while Aizawa wrapped Todoroki with his capture weapon, tying the boy up high.

"You think you caught me? I can burn or freeze these restraints in an instant-"

"I don't care which you do. Just be careful of where you fall." Aizawa said as he put many caltrops below Todoroki.

"Caltrops? What are you, a ninja?" Todoroki asked in sarcasm.

"Probably. It's different from the time with the hero killer. I know the quirks and numbers of heroes. I'm perfectly prepared to intercept you. Your plan places the burden pretty heavily on yourself. It's nice to try and be considerate to the girl but maybe you should've talk it over more." Aizawa lectrured him before proceeded in chasing after Yaoyorozu.

On the other hand, Yaoyorozu ran as fast as she could while her mind was thinking of a lot of things. She was panicking since she can't decide what to do and started doubting herself.

'Ever since the sports festival, she obviously lost confidence.' Aizawa thought as he managed to bind Yaoyorozu's arms with his scarf.

However, Yaoyorozu realised that her quirk wasn't erase. So, she quickly create something on her arm so that she could slip from the binding cloth.

"Against a teacher, I don't have a chance! I'm sorry, Todoroki!" Yaoyorozu said and ran back to Todoroki.

"She's comparing herself to Todoroki? This is bad. She becomes unable to have confidence in her own thinking now." Aizawa commented as he continued chasing her.

After a while, she finally arrive and started panicking since Aizawa was getting closer.

"What should I do? Save? Run? Tell me! What should I do?!" she nervously thinking whether she's making the right choices or not.

"Yaoyorozu. Sorry, I wasn't listening to you but you got a plan, right?" Todoroki asked.

"I... I do! But if your plan didn't work, so how could my idea..."

"It's fine! I'm saying that you're the one more suited to this stuff! When we were voting for class rep, you had two votes, right? One of those was mine! BecauseI thought you'dbe good at it!" Todoroki trued to encourage her before Aizawa interrupted.

"Are you done now?"

Suddenly, Yaoyorozu told Todoroki to shut his eyes as she threw her Russian dolls towards Aizawa which turns out that there were flash-granades in them. The flash made Aizawa enable to see clearly which affected his quirk use. Without wasting more time, she rescue Todoroki while telling him her plan. She asked Todoroki to check if he can use his ice quirk while they kept on running away from the hero.

"Thinking that we can't use our quirks is bad assumption to make. There will definitely be a single moment! An interval of time when Aizawa-sensei blinks before he can look at us again!" Yaoyorozu said.

And just like she said, Aizawa blinked and Todoroki could use his ice quirk again. He quickly created an enormous ice wall between them, blocking Aizawa's view frm them. After that, Todoroki noticed that Yaoyorozu was making Aizawa's capture weapon.

"I don't know what it's made of or detail of how it's made, so it's not exactly the same as his. Since it's a residental area, then we must keep the damage at a minimum. Besides, he moves quickly with those restraining bonds, making him hard to catch. So, I believe that this plan has a higher chance of succeeding that trying to escape form Aizawa-sensei." Yaoyorozu explained before pointing at the catapult and Aizawa's capture weapon she made which Todoroki had no complain for that.

On the other hand, Aizawa decided to wait at the escape gate instead of tiring himself out and wasting his time for chasing Todoroki and Yaoyorozu. After a while, he saw both of them were on the move, covered themselves with dark robes. Aizawa decided to use his scarf to stop them but unfortunately, the upper bodies were actually mannequins, causing Aizawa to fall into their trap. At the end, both Yaoyorozu and Todoroki managed to restraint the hero, immobilising him. They didn't wait long and handcuffed Aizawa, winning the battle.

"It went according to your plan, but didn't it go a little too smoothly?" Todoroki asked.

"Honestly, it is inexplicable. I made a mistake when I was attacking him and sensei noticed it. However, he still jumped away as if he was allowing himself to be taken in by my plan on purpose." Yaoyorozu gave Aizawa a sad look.

"I was just being careful of Todoroki next to you. I could see you but Todoroki had a cloth over him. So, I thought he'd freeze me. I backed off, thinking that was the best course of action, and played right into your hands." Aizawa backs himself up.

Yaoyorozu was brought to tears when Todoroki thanked her for her plan. She felt very happy that she was able to help both of them pass the exam with her plan.

"What's wrong? Do you feel sick?" Todoroki asked.

"It's... It's nothing."

"If you feel nauseous, there's a pressure point on the instep of your foot-"

"I said it's nothing!"

["Team Todoroki and Yaoyorozu have passed!"]

_________

"They did it! They defeat Aizawa-sensei!" everyone except Recovery Girl and Boboiboy cheered happily.

On the other hand, Boboiboy showed a small smile while looking at the screen which showed Aizawa who got immobilised.

'I know you have a soft spot for your students, Mr Aizawa. I know you could have realised their plan and avoid that but you decided to play along. You did that to help Yaoyorozu gain her confidence back.' Boboiboy thought.

Meanwhile, Aizawa already entered the teachers monitor room and was greeted immediately by his coworkers.

"Man... Who knows such a depressed-homeless-looking man like you actually have a garden deep inside his heart?" Amato grinned mischievously as well as Mechabot. That robot would love to tease the hero but since he needs to hide his true existence, Mechabot decided to let Amato do the job.

"Shut up..."

Back with the students. Uraraka started making her way out of the monitor room to prepare for her own match.

"Alright, I will be leaving now. Wish me luck, guys!" Uraraka said while walking out of the room.

"Good luck Uraraka!"

"Now that I think of it, you two seems quite relax despite knowing your opponent... kero" Tsuyu pointed out which both Boboiboy and Midoriya sighed.

"Even if we want to make a plan, Bakugo doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Both of us can't afford to make plans with just the two of us." Boboiboy explained.

"Kacchan almost unpredictable and it will be hard for us to think of a proper plan without him." Midoriya added which got a nod from everyone as they already know the explosion user's personality.

"I feel sorry for you guys. Nevertheless, good luck!" cheered Iida.

"Now, let's watch Uraraka's and Aoyama's match! Their opponent is Thirteen-sensei, right?" Boboiboy asked.

"Mhm."

________

Fifth Battle

["Team Uraraka and Aoyama, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

"We were so close!" Uraraka groaned.

Both of them were holding on a metal bar, preventing from getting suck by Thirteen's black hole.

"Oh no! I won't let you get away!" Thirteen said.

'This isn't good! We'll get caught! Think! Think about how to get out of this! What would Deku do in a time like this?!' Uraraka thought  trying her best to think of an idea when Aoyama suddenly called for her.

"Hey.."

"Not right now! I'm thinking-"
"You were thinking what Izuku Midoriya would do, weren't you?" Aoyama asked which made Uraraka looked at him with surprise.

"Do you like him?" he asked again which made the girl flattered.

"HUH?!" Uraraka blushed and intentionally released her hold on the metal bar and flew towards Thirteen.

"What?!" Thirteen immediately shuts her quirk as she didn't want to hurt the young girl.

As Uraraka saw the opening, she actived the Gunhead martial arts that she learnt during internship within seconds. She swung a fist which Thirteen managed to dodge. However  she used this opportunity to push Thirteen down while taking her arm. The hero was about to counter attack but Aoyama quickly rushed to Uraraka's side with his navel laser and locked Thirteen's left arm, immobilising her. After that, Uraraka took out the handcuffs and secured a passing grade for them by hand-cuffing Thirteen on her right arm.

"What I learnt with Gunhead just happened to come in handy right now!" Uraraka said.

["Team Uraraka and Aoyama have passed!"]

_________

"Nice judgement, Uraraka! I can't believe she thought to use her opponent's power to get in close!" Midoriya impressed.

"I don't know, Midoriya. It seems to me that she just happened to let go. I wonder what were they talking about." Boboiboy said when someone entered the monitor room.

"Eh? Midoriya? Boboiboy? You two are here?" Yaoyorozu asked as she entered the room.

"Midoriya. You tell her." Boboiboy sighed.

"Hm? Okay. You see, Yaoyorozu... We were supposed to come up with a plan as a team but... Kacchan is being Kacchan again." Midoriya laughed nervously.

"Oh, I understand. It must be hard for you two, huh?"

"Yup. Oh, by the way, congrats on passing the practical exam!" Midoriya and Boboiboy congratulated.

"Thank you" Yaoyorozu thanked them.

"Let's continue observe the other's match. I think it was Kaminari's and Mina's match." Iida said.

__________

["Team Kaminari and Ashido, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

Kaminari and Mina was tasked to be in a huge factory arena. Both of them decided to run towards the escape gate together. Kaminari thought he could handle Principal Nezu with his electricity. That was when they heard crashing noise. Like metal crashing.

"What was that... sound?" Mina asked as both of them stop running.

"That's not... the principal, right?" Kaminari asked.

Suddenly, the building near them started collapsing and they started running away.

"Kaminari, what's going on?!" Mina panicked.

"I don't know, but I'm sure the principal's behind it!" Kaminari shouted.

It turns out that Principal Nezu was using a crane to destroy the buildings near Kaminari and Mina.

________

Meanwhile, at the monitor room.

"You got to be kidding me?!" Boboiboy surprised as well as the others who witnessed the match.

"The principal's riding in the crane?!" Iida pointed out.

"But how is he attacking them?" Midoriya asked.

"He's so far away from them." Tsuyu commented.

"It's probably with his forecasts. He probably reached those through sophisticated calculations." Yaoyorozu said.

"This is not good. If they didn't act quick, it will be checkmate for them." Boboiboy commented seriously and worried for their classmates who have the possibility to fail.

_______

Nezu was using a huge wrecking ball to destroy the buildings while having his nice tea.

"What chain reaction will be caused depending on what I break. Those calculations are as easy as making a cup of tea." Nezu said, feeling excited with the destruction he made.

Nezu destroyed a power source building and it exploded making the more buildings collapsed. Mina and Kaminari were still trying to run away, saving themselves from getting crushed on.

"And you two aren't noticing that the paths to the escape gate are getting sealed off one by one. Intellectual-type villain will sit back and watch from the sidelines. HAHAHAHHA!!!" Nezu hysterically laughed like a rat maniac he is. Of course, it could be heard by those who's in the monitor room.

________

"Humans did a bunch of experiments on Nezu in the past. So in times like this, he can't help but let out his true self." Recovery Girl said whike the others looked scared for their lives.

'Oh boy... I never thought I would see that side of him...' Boboiboy thought as he sweatdropped.

Meanwhile, with the teachers...

Their reaction was as much the same like the students including Mechamato.

'Damn... he's a crazy yet ridiculously smart rat, that's for sure...' Mechabot thought.

'And to think Boboiboy somehow win playing chess with that crazy rat a few times in the past...' Aizawa and Amato thought.

How does Amato know? Isn't it obvious? Aizawa made a complete report on his son's new life. Okay, back to the story.

________

Kaminari and Mina tried to find a way to the escape gate but no matter where they went, the path was blocked by the collapsed buildings. In other words, they can't get to the escape gate... if they didn't find the one Nezu saved from them.

"There's still a way out! Come on, use your heads! Think carefully! Rack your brains!" Nezu said as he kept on moving the wrecking ball.

Too bad... those two were quite lacking when it comes to thinking. At the end, they couldn't finish the exam before the time's end.

["Team Ashido and Kaminari retires due to running out of time."]

_________

"They failed huh... I kinda feel bad for them." Boboiboy said.

"It can't be help. Principal's plan is too perfect." said Yaoyorozu.

"They really couldn't do anything. They must be frustrated." Iida commented.

Then, Uraraka came in the monitor room after hearing Kaminari and Mina failed.

"Anyway, Uraraka. Congratulations on passing." Iida said.

"Thank you." Uraraka said.

"Ochaco, when you were fighting against Thirteen, what were you talking to Aoyama about?" Tsuyu can't help but ask Uraraka about her match.

"Huh? We were talking about.... n-nothing! That's not how it is! Th-That's not it!" Uraraka started panicking and her face was red which left the others in confuse.

Then, they heard another siren, signalling another match will begin.

________

Seventh Match

["Team Koda and Jirou, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

For this match, it took place in the middle of the forest. As Jirou and Koda was approaching the escape gate, Present Mic who was waiting there, use his quirk to make a really loud sound. The situation was the same for a while. Jirou had an idea by Koda using his quirk to talk to bugs. But unfortunately, Koda was afraid of bugs so he can't do it.

Another attack came from Present Mic which forces Jirou to counter the sound with her own sound wave. But it won't be effective for long.

"Koda! Just tell me if it's possible for you to control bugs or not!" Jirou asked which Koda replied it's possible.

After knowing the answer, Jirou exploded a huge rock beside her and reveal many bugs under it which, of course, scared Koda. Jirou kept on encouraging Koda to use his quirk so that they can pass the exam. Then, Koda realised that there's blood coming out from Jirou's ears due to Present Mic's quirk.

'Jiro's ears..! It's because I kept on running away, Jirou's...'

At the end, he threw away his fear and used his quirk on the bugs.

"Go on, little ones! Now is the time to take out the man who was responsible for the noise. Listen..." Koda said while trembling just by looking at the bugs.

However, that effort was worth it as MANY bugs started came out from the ground and crawling on Present Mic. He can't even see his own leg when the bugs started crawling on him.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

_______

The teachers and the students who were watching got scared and pity the hero.

"That kid's quirk is scary..." Amato said while the other teachers agreed.

"That's hard even for a hero..." Iida commented.

"Koda... that's harsh..." Midoriya said which Boboibiy agreed as they saw a screen showed Present Mic fainted with bubbles coming out from his mouth while Jirou and Koda passed through the escape gate.

"How pathetic, to be taken down by some bugs." Recovery Girl said.

["Team Koda and Jirou have passed!"]

_________

Eighth Match

["Team Hagakure and Shoji, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

Hagakure and Shoji were tasked to take the exam inside a building that have many pillars to use as a shield. Why? Because both of them were against Snipe, who specialised in shooting weapons. The hero kept on shooting the pillar that they'd been hiding behind it.

"Shoji! At this rate, we can't move at all!" Hagakure said, worried for their situation.

As Shoji tried to stay calm and think of a plan, Snipe throw a smoke bomb which cause the whole room to be covered with white smoke.

"Shoji! I have an idea but I need you yo act as a decoy!" Hagakure said as she removed her gloves and shoes while Shoji agreed.

He quickly came out from his hiding place and played his role as a distraction. Snipe's attention was completely on Shoji that the hero didn't realised that Hagakure was slowly moving towards him.

Shoji put his hands up, signalling the hero that he surrender when Snipe approached him.

"Aren't you giving up too easily?" Snipe asked while pointing his gun towards Shoji.

However, the table had turn when Hagakure suddenly came out and hand-cuffed Snipe.

"Caught you!"

"When did you- Ah, I see." Snipe said as he finally realised. Hagakure's quirk comes pretty handy when it comes to sneak attacks as she basically invisible.

"I have to admit. Good job there!" Snipe praised them which they thanked the hero in return.

["Team Shoji and Hagakure have passed!"]

________

Teachers monitor room.

"Excellent teamwork. They've done a great job in staying calm during the match." Amato impressed.

"Two matches left..." Aizawa said as he himself couldn't wait to go back home and sleep.

'That's right. Two more matches. After this match, it will be his match. I'm so excited!' Amato thought as well as Mechabot.

________

"As expected, Hagakure is a cut above when it comes to convert activities!" Yaoyorozu commented.

"Shoji also did a good job drawing Snipe-sensei's attention!" Boboiboy added.

"Midoriya, Boboiboy. You guys are up next after the ninth battle, right? Aren't you going to the exam area?" Uraraka asked.

"You're right, Uraraka, but I'll watch everyone's fight until the last minute. It's useful to see how everyone's using their quirks, but I also feel like I'm getting strength from watching the fights. Everyone's really amazing! Even if they couldn't pass, they fought until the end. It's amazing! UA students who never give up-" Before Midoriya could finish his sentence, Boboiboy was quick to cut him off.

"Midoriya... I think you should consider it though..." Boboiboy facepalmed while pointing at the screen.

"There's one..." Iida said.

"Who's completely giving up..." Tsuyu continued as she also pointing the screen.

"I GIVE UP! DAMN IT! HOW CAN I TAKE THIS STUPID TEST?!" The screen showed a certain short grape who was dramatically cried as he headed towards the other gate.

"Mineta?!"

_______

Ninth Match

["Team Sero and Mineta, practical exam. Ready, go!"]

"This is crap! It's completely unfair! How can I take such an unfair test?!"

________

The others were confused by Mineta's action.

"But he was looking forward to the training camp so much. Why is he running away?" Midoriya asked.

"If it's gotten that far, it might be hard for him. For this practical exam, All Might, Cementoss, Mic, and Midnight are all especially hard. Depending on the person, it isn't hard to imagine someone being checkmated or feeling like they are." Recovery Girl said as well as assuming that was the reason Mineta giving up since he's up against Midnight.

"Nope. I don't think that's the problem here, Recovery Girl..." Boboiboy sweatdropped as he looked at the screen blankly.

________

"Sero, damn it! I won't forgive you!" Mineta said as he turned back to see Sero who was sleeping on Midnight's lap.

"Sero, you traitor! Bastard!" Mineta cursed more out of pure jealousy as blood tears came rolling down his cheeks.

A while ago, Sero wrapped his tape around Mineta and pulled him up so that he was away from Midnight. As a result, he got knocked out when he inhaled the sleeping gas that Midnight released from her skin.

"If Sero hadn't saved me, then I'd be in Midnight's laps right now!"

_______

"It might be hard for a kid like that to survive in this place. UA is constantly preparing walls and making the students overcome them. In order to keep overcoming those walls wi need a thout losing steam, the students concrete goal to focus on. It's not an easy path that one can climb it with vague feelings of wanting to be a hero. Even if they do become heroes, people who end goal is to become a hero have no future." Recovery Girl said before she continued.

"In the end, is there a goal in that child's heart that he can focus on?" She asked.

_______

"I wanted to be popular with girls. That's why I became a hero. I'd thought that I'd be popular once I become a hero but..."

Suddenly, Mineta was attacked by Midnight's bullwhip.

"I thought I'd stay enshrined in front of the gate until time ran out but I suppose that's too inconsiderate. If someone run away from me screaming, my sadistic side starts to throb so much that I can't help it!" Midnight said as she approached Mineta with her bullwhip on her hands.

Mineta quickly ran away from the hero, covering his nose so that he can't smell her fragrance. He immediately hides behind a rock.

"After coming to this school and having a brush of death, I realised that it's not that they're cool because they're heroes but... THEY'RE HEROES BECAUSE THEY'RE COOL! Right, Midoriya, Boboiboy?!" Mineta said, finally unleashing his secret plan that he's been carrying.

"Listen Midnight! I ran away from the gate, whined, fanned your sadistic side and drew you all the way here! I did that in order to be cool!" Mineta shouted.

"Are you saying you had me in the palm of your hand? I won't let you!" Midnight rip her clothes and realising more gas.

However, Mineta was fully prepared for the battle as he taped his nose and mouth with Sero's tape while his purple sticky ball on his hands. He quickly threw the balls towards Midnight, trapping her in those as he rushed forward.

"That's pretty amazing!" Midnight praised as Mineta ran passed her and brought the unconscious Sero to the escape gate.

"Geez, if you hadn't saved me, then I wouldn't work this hard. Just this once, we'll save the women for another day!" Mineta said as they walked out through the escape gate, passing the exam.

["Team Sero and Mineta have passed!"]

________

"Who knew he had us completely fooled, huh?" Amato sighed since he did fell for Mineta's pathetic act.

"I know right?" Power loader replied.

"Now, it's time for the final battle." Amato satred at the screen once again.

As the former number 2 hero, he knows how strong All Might is. Both Amato and Mechabot acknowledged him as their worthy rival. Their strength are almost equal. Of course, with those device on, All Might's power will be limited at some point but wouldn't be enough to say his attacks got weaker.

'Is this really okay? All Might always fought with his full strength and rarely holding back. I have a feeling that he will not go easy on those kids. Huh, I hope he can get through this.' Amato thought as he stared seriously at the screen.

'Calm down, calm down. That kid already went through so much more worse than this. Even if he doesn't fully remember, doesn't mean his body and instinct will forget everything. But, instead of worrying about that kid, I'm actually more worried of this guy's next moves. Ever since he reunite with Boboiboy, he became more overprotective towards the kid. It's a good thing Pian already warned him to not bring the legendary broom. Tho, this guy is unpredictable. I need to calm him down whenever All Might did something to Boboiboy. Huhhh... well, as long as I got my currypuffs, I will do anything Pian asked me.' Mechabot thought, already imagined many currypuffs surrounding him.

"Remember Mechabot. You need to make sure that master of yours didn't do anything stupid and suddenly want to beat someone up. No matter the reason! Knowing that guy, I'm sure he can't sit still watching Oboi got hurt before his eyes. Sure, he always told the kid to be independent but the fact that he never seen Oboi getting hurt while fighting in front of him cannot be ignored." Pian reminded the robot.

"What do you mean? We're not like that. Beating people up just because they hurt that kid? Nooo... that's too childis-"

"Really? Childish? Don't think that I didn't know that you and Amato sneak in TAPOPS prison just to beat the villains who hurt Oboi in the past. Not to mention, those guys even admit that they rather stayed in prison forever than seeing you." Pian pointed out, revealing one of the famous armoured hero's secrets.

"Yeah... but not all of them! There are still three more we didn't give a lesson yet! And those guys dare to escape the prison before facing the ultimate destroyer robot like me!!!"

"Whatever it is, my words are still the same. You make sure Amato didn't do anything and I will give you one year stocks of currypuffs."

"Deal!" Mechabot immediately agreed after hearing the word 'currypuffs'.

Yup... Nice doing business with you, Mechabot.

"I never knew he got that kind of side inside him. I thought he only thinks about nasty things." Boboiboy being honest with his words.

"You shouldn't say things like that, Boboiboy. But, I can't help but agreed with you." Yaoyorozu said.

"Well, at least he passed. We don't even know if we can yet." Midoriya commented, feeling unmotivated for their battle.

"Don't worry! I'm sure you guys can think of something." Uraraka tried to encourage Midoriya.

"You both should get going now. The exam will start shortly." Iida said which they nodded.

"Good luck you two!" That was the last sentence they heard before the walked towards their exam area. Boboiboy noticed Midoriya's nervous face, so he tried to calm him down.

"Don't worry Midoriya. I promise you. By hook or by crook, we will definitely pass the exam. We won't ever fail. Not on my watch." Boboiboy confidently said, as he still have to keep his part of the deal.

'Just you wait, father. I will pass this exam and make you tell me everything I want to know.' Boboiboy thought in determination.

I'm very very VERY sorry for the very late update!!! I was in dilemma while writing this chapter. I was like:

"Should I write everyone's battle? Or should I use my 'time skip' power? But... what if the readers don't like that? But... I didn't feel motivated to write the others battle... But... okay... let's try writing one battle a day... if that didn't work, one battle two days... if not, one battle three days... yeah... that should do it..."

Thank you for staying and be patience with me. Hontoni arigato!!!
