New chapter!
Thanks for all the support!
x This was deliberate.
Yuto could tell from Present Mic’s grin.
Of course Present Mic was doing it on purpose.
He had heard All Might praise Yuto and had been paying special attention to him.
He wanted to see whether the boy was really that strong.
Present Mic glanced toward Yuto and muttered, “A seriously powerful Quirk, huh?
I’m looking forward to this.
I prepared a special gift for you.” The students immediately stirred with excitement.
“I can’t believe I’m in the same exam site as the Pioneer of Peace!” “I’m fired up now.
I want to fight him!” “Whoa.
I can’t believe I’m taking the exam with someone that famous.” Katsuki Bakugo’s face twisted fiercely as he shouted, “Pioneer, where are you?
Come out already!
Fight me properly!
I’ll show you who’s really on top here.
You’re just an extra!” Yuto ignored them.
His mind was on the exam.
Ochaco looked at Yuto with admiration.
Other than the U.A.
teachers, she was the only one who knew who he was.
Pioneer of Peace?
That nickname had a nice ring to it.
Ochaco lowered her gaze, fidgeting with her fingers, and said shyly, “Yuu-kun, I’ll work hard to catch up to you too.
I won’t hold you back.” “Do your best.” After being encouraged, Ochaco looked even more motivated.
Under Present Mic’s direction, the examinees arrived at the battle center.
Yuto and Ochaco were both in Battle Center B.
The whole area was packed with people.
The examinees were stunned when they saw the huge training area.
“What’s this?
It’s basically a town.” “U.A.
has several places like this on campus?” “U.A.
is amazing!” From the rooftop of the battle center, Present Mic shouted excitedly, “Listen up!
No countdowns in a real fight, and none here either.
The practical exam has already started!
Move!
You only have ten minutes!” As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed into the battle center.
Inside the battle center, tall buildings, streets, and patches of greenery stood together like a real city.
The difference was that the battle center was filled with green mock villain robots.
Most of them were one-point and two-point robots.
Three-point robots were rare, let alone zero-pointers.
The examinees began fighting over the weaker robots, each trying to take down as many as possible.
Boom!
Boom!
Explosions kept ringing out, and dust rose everywhere.
Tenya Iida ran at high speed, using his legs to keep taking down robots.
Yuga Aoyama leaned forward in an exaggerated pose and fired his Navel Laser, dropping robots in quick succession.
Ochaco fought hard too.
She used Zero Gravity to float the robots, then let them fall and smash against the ground.
Yuto stood beside her and guided her.
“That’s it.
Nice work, Uraraka.” Whoosh!
Ochaco’s cheeks turned pink from the praise.
“Yuu-kun, there isn’t much time left.
You should destroy some robots too, or you won’t pass.” Yuto nodded slightly.
Under his guidance, Ochaco had already earned sixty-one points.
She would pass U.A.’s entrance exam.
The examinees nearby had also been dealing with robots easily.
When they looked at Yuto, there was clear mockery in their eyes.
“Is he just here to watch?
It’s been so long, and he hasn’t taken down a single robot!” “How lucky.
That raises our chances of getting into U.A.” “Exactly.
A few more people like him and we’ll all pass.” “Damn it.” Ochaco looked angry.
How dare they talk about her Yuu-kun?
Yuto stayed calmer.
He comforted Ochaco and said, “Ignore them.
Keep racking up points.
Raise your score a little more.” He had a reason for doing this.
Once he made a move, the robots nearby would probably all be destroyed.
It was better to wait until Ochaco’s score was higher.
In U.A.’s monitoring room, the examiners watched the large screens.
Every examinee was displayed, and all of their actions were being recorded for evaluation.
Principal Nezu smiled gently.
“Using a point system to measure basic urban combat and rescue ability?
Not bad.” Midnight, the R-Rated Hero, asked with an amused smile, “This year’s applicants are pretty good, aren’t they?” Present Mic said, “It’s still too early to say.
Didn’t All Might say there was a promising one this year?
Yuto hasn’t acted yet.
Did he misjudge him?” All Might said firmly, “No.
Yuto’s Quirk is strong.
I trust my judgment.” In another battle center, Izuku Midoriya had awakened his Quirk to save someone and used Smash.
The attack shocked everyone, though the price was one ruined arm.
All Might was already satisfied with that.
But for Yuto, he had even higher expectations.
So far, Yuto had shown no desire to act.
All Might’s face tightened.
He could not tell what the boy was thinking.
Midnight smiled.
“All Might rarely praises anyone this much.
I’m curious too.
I don’t know whether he’ll become a Pro Hero, but he certainly has presence.” “In that case.” Present Mic showed a dangerous smile.
“Let’s look forward to it.” Then he pressed a red button marked DANGER.
“Don’t disappoint me, Yuto.
