Izuku dashed to one of the Beowolves and ensnared it with Blackwhip before slamming his fist into its stomach. Blackwhip prevented it from flying off, so Izuku could watch as it exhaled sharply before passing out from the pain.

He swiftly moved to the next Beowolf and roundhouse kicked it in the head. The creature was sent flying, but Izuku wrapped Blackwhip around its legs and slammed its body into the other two Beowolves, sending them all to the ground.

Danger Sense pinged, alerting him an incoming attack. He quickly stepped to the side and watched as another Beowolf dove right by him. He held up his hands and flicked his fingers, slamming blasts of air into the Grimm. It flew away and smashed into a tree. It tried to get back up, but Izuku shut that down with a solid kick to its head, knocking it out.

Danger Sense went crazy, prompting Izuku to turn his head and see a pack of Beowolves staring back at him. Under his cowl, Izuku glared at all of them. This was annoying, but it wasn't the end of the world. 15% of One for All was proving to be more than enough, so taking on a few more would take an extra minute or two.

A few Beowolves came running at him, but Izuku was prepared for this. He crawled on the ground before performing a handstand. The Beowolves tried to jump onto him, but he spun his body around, creating a small vortex. The Grimm tried to hold on, but the centrifugal force was too strong, sending them flying off him.

Two Beowolves ran towards him, but one of them lagged behind a bit. Izuku jumped over the closest Grimm and aimed his fingers towards the one at the back. He flicked his fingers and shot air at the Beowolf. The wind collided with its head and dazed it. Not wasting any time, Izuku lifted up his right leg and slammed it down on the creature's head, sending it into the ground. He quickly turned around and grabbed onto the Beowolf behind him with Blackwhip. He swung the Beowolf over his head like a giant hammer before slamming it into another Beowolf.

Finally the last three Beowolves came rushing towards him. Izuku ran towards one before leaping towards one and kicking off its head like a springboard. Spinning his body around, he clenched his fist and slammed it down into the ground when he landed. The resounding force sent the three Beowolves crashing into trees.

Izuku stood up and looked around at the aftermath of the battle... if he could even call it that. A few broken trees, and a lot of unconscious Grimm laying on the ground motionless.

He waited for any of them to pop up and try to attack again, but Danger Sense didn't go up, and the only movement made by them was the gentle rise and fall of their chests. Realizing they weren't a threat anymore, Izuku turned away from the Beowolves. They weren't going to bother him, and he didn't care what was going to happen to them.

All he wanted to do was grab the relic and end the examination

While everyone was continuing their exam, Ozpin and Glynda stood at the cliff, watching them all through their tablets. They were busy grading all the students, trying to work out which of the participants would join their school, and which would be turned away,

"The next pair has been formed, sir. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren." Glynda informed her boss, watching as Nora bounced around Ren with endless amounts of energy. "That poor boy" She sighed "I can't imagine those two getting along. Still, she's probably better off than Miss Nikos, And then there's Mr. Midoriya, who still hasn't found a partner."

Ozpin hummed as he continued to watch the tablet, focused on two people in particular.

"I don't care what his transcripts say. That Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat. I guess we'll find out soon enough, though. At their current pace, everyone, excluding Mr. Midoriya, will reach the temple in a few minutes. Speaking of which, what did you use for relics this year?" She asked Ozpin, but he did not respond "Professor Ozpin?"
