Runa waits for the light to turn green, and as soon as it does, she presses the button anti-gravity bracelet, the bracelet can't completely remove someone's gravity, but it lowers their overall mass. Runa takes off in a sprint, easily slipping through the crowd. As she runs she notices the ground freezing over. 

Runa jumps up, swiftly avoiding the wave of frozen ground. Miu notices the ice as well and jumps, grabbing onto her brother's wrist, using her quirk to propel them both forward. Runa pays no mind to the people behind her. 

"I should save most of my stamina for the last stretch. But I shouldn't let myself get too far behind either."  She clicks her heels together and the soles of her shoes turn into ice skates. 

Runa gracefully glides over the ice, waiting for the right moment to change her skates back to regular shoes. She has her usual smile on her face. She stumbles over a frozen rock but quickly regains her footing. 

She hurries to catch up to Todoroki, who was currently in first place. "Hey, Todo! Nice trick, you almost got me with the ice back there!" Runa yells over to the heterochromatic boy. He spares her a glance but doesn't respond.

Further back, Miu and Mio were trying to catch up. They glance at each other, "Do it." Miu says to her brother. Mio gives her a curt nod and presses his palms together, taking a deep breath he aims his palms in the air. A platform appears and he jumps onto it. 

His sister follows him, jumping up as mini-explosions creates somewhat of a smokescreen for them. "WOWIE! WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?! MIU AND MIO HASHIRA HAVEN'T MADE TOO MUCH OF AN IMPRESSION UP UNTIL NOW, BUT THEY'RE REALLY BRINGING THE HEAT WITH THEIR COMBINED POWERS!!" 

Miu and Mio smile at each other, each thinking of their mom. "I'm not going to be useless anymore..." Mio's eyes fill with determination as he makes another platform for them to jump to. "I will prove that we are both strong!" Another explosion rains from Miu's feet. They push themselves to do their very best.

as Mineta gets hit by a robot. Runa skids to a stop, narrowly dodging one of the robots' arms. "EVERY OBSTACLE COURSE NEEDS OBSTACLES!!" Present Mic yells, "STARTING WITH THE FIRST BARRIER. ROBO INFERNO!!"

"Oh, this must've been what the others had to face during the entrance exams." Runa grabs some dirt. "Let's see here, I can probably turn this into a weapon... but I need some water..."  Runa glances over to see Shimizu, "Hey, Shimizu, can you give me some water?" He tilts his head but complies. 

Runa thanks him and mixes the water and dirt. 

"HUH?! WHAT'S THIS? IS YASUDA PLAYING WITH MUD IN THE MIDDLE OF A RACE?!" 

Runa moulds the mud into a spear, she then uses her quirk to harden it. Quickly, Runa stabs it into a robot, right where the wiring is. Sparks of electricity fly everywhere as the robot collapses to the ground. 

Runa continues to run through the robots, using the spear to help her avoid attacks. One swings its robotic arm at her and hits her right in the stomach, Runa flies back, rolling on the ground as she skids to a stop. 

"That's gonna leave a bruise..." She gets back up, using the spear for support. "Looks like these robots don't wanna play nice..." Runa smiles, quickly running between the robot's legs. In an attempt to hit her again, it crashes into another robot. 

They both tumble to the ground. "Perfect." Runa uses this to escape, hastily trying to get past the first obstacle.
