Cinders of a Lord

Entrance Exam II

Previously on Cinders of a Lord...

The giant zero-pointer roared at him, or rather, made a similar noise with its built-in speakers. He roared back, as he slammed his Flame into the ground, multiple pillars of fire as tall as the buildings surrounding it appearing.

The pillars absolutely melted the bot's limbs, turning them into liquid metal. The robot roared as it perished, the pillars making short work of the rest of it. He took a deep breath and admired his handiwork. He sighed in relief as he sat down on the ground, chuckling.

That was... fun. He did not usually feel this sort of emotion after a boss fight, but it was satisfying to watch something fall apart.

Izuku Midoriya walked away from the scorched and melted remnants of the Zero Pointer, and knelt in front of Uraraka Ochaco, who was still on the ground staring up at him in a mix of shock, awe, and trace amounts of fear. "...Are you alright?" Izuku asked as the flames that wrapped around him began to die down.

"I'm alright... How about you? Are you... hurt at all?" Uraraka asked. It was dumb question, yes, she knew that. After all, she just watched him completely annihilate the Zero Pointer before it even had the chance to touch him.

"I'm fine. The thing could not touch me, in the end..." He looked back at the Zero Pointer, and Uraraka thought he looked really, really cool. "Yeah. You look cool." Izuku looked surprised, or as much as Uraraka could tell from the armor he was wearing, and went, "W-W-What!? Y-y-you really think so!?" He started scratching the back of his helmet and acting flustered, and god, Uraraka thought he was absolutely adorable now.

"Yeah I d-- IZUKU BEHIND YOU!" A Three Pointer charged out from down the street and was already a few meters from Izuku. The armored boy only moved from side to side, dodging the five-hit combo it was putting out, and on the fifth strike, he pulled out the Llewelyn Shield and parried.

The robot flinched, and was vulnerable, Izuku not hesitating to take advantage. He pulled out his Astora Greatsword and swung once, twice, and when the robot was knocked down, he bisected it, the two halves falling to either side of him. Izuku took a deep breath, then suddenly he threw his Greatsword behind Uraraka like a spear, and she watched it get a Two Pointer trying to sneak up on her right between the eyes.

"You alright?" Izuku asked as he walked over to the now-dead robot and pulled out the sword, kicking the robotic corpse off it as he did. "I'm good."

"The exam should be over in a minute," he said, looking up at the sky. "I took down a lot of the robots on the way here, so we should be safe..." But just his luck, probably dozens of robots came out of the alleys between the buildings. Uraraka went wide-eyed. "Gwyn I hate my luck... Come on Uraraka, get back to back with me. I'll set them up and you knock them down," Izuku said, almost sounding a little too excited, brandishing his Greatsword and taunting the robots, daring them to go forward. 

The first robot to charge, a brave One Pointer, was flipped over towards Uraraka who touched it and sent it into the air. "Next one!!" Uraraka shouted, still on guard. A Two Pointer came next, and the same flipping occurred, and Uraraka sent it into the air.

"Come on you hunks of junk!" Two One Pointers charged. "Uraraka switch!" Uraraka, despite looking a little green, nodded and the two switched positions, catching the One Pointer bots off-guard, sending them into the air as well.

"Oh god..." Uraraka said, as she held back vomit that was about to come out. This was the most she had used her Quirk on at once, and it was getting harder and harder to hold it back. "Release them now!" Izuku shouted, struggling to hold off the robots on his end. Uraraka put her hands together, and yelled, "RELEASE."
