Chapter 13 : Robot Rampage

Izuku runs to the center of the site attracting many robots to his location. He stands there and waits for the horde of bots to converge on him. Izuku decided to use this as training, fighting the robots with minimal property damage. Using light punches he destroys groups of three or four with each hit sending them into each other. Some of the 3 pointers shot rockets which Izuku redirected to the other bots or took head on leaving himself unscathed.

After 5 minutes the robots stop coming as they have learned that he was an opponent they could not beat. Izuku had managed to gain 67 points so he started to patrol around helping any examinees who were in danger. Some of them accused him of kill stealing but as the heroes are not disqualifying him they just grumbled and continued on their way. Izuku then found a purple haired kid with a brainwashing quirk similar to his own struggling with a one pointer so he decided to help by tossing him a metal spear made from robot hulls.

The brainwasher was confused but greatful for the weapon as he stabbed into the robot. He turned to thank the person who helped him but he was already gone.

There was about 3 minutes left in the exam Izuku was just wandering around with some robots coming to attack him bringing his point total to a decent 82. There was a sudden rumbling as the zero pointer had entered the battlefield. Izuku stood there looking at it as the others were running past him many looking at him as if he was an idiot. He waited for it to get closer as it destroys the top of a few buildings. Rubble was about to fall on the brunette from earlier so Izuku dashed over to save her appearing to teleport to the her and back to where he was stood. Surprised by the change in scenery she thanks her saviour.

"T-thank you."

"No problem"

[Vertigo Resistance adapted]

Izuku walks towards the zero pointer.

"Wait where are you going? That robot is worth nothing we should go."

"Someone has to stop it."

That was a lie he just wanted to destroy it to annoy Nezu. Izuku rushes and jumps up to the robots head his arms turning into red tendrils wrapping around the robots head and crushes it into a pile of sparking metal. Izuku then carefully lowers the rest of the robot onto the street.

"Test over!!!"

"Is anyone hurt?"

"No Recovery Girl, we're all good here"

"Alright sonny, thank you for not destroying the place too much. Cementoss would have been annoyed."

She leaves to tend to the others.

"Hey what's you name?"

"Oh uh, Izuku Midoriya."

"Thank you for saving me. I'm Ochaco Uraraka"

"Don't mention it, it's what a anyone should do."

"Examinee 456 please attend to the observation booth."

Flashback

In the observation room the teachers are observing the practical exam. Nezu was quite interested in how Izuku would do with his self imposed limitations while All Might desired to see how Izuku had improved. The staff are taking note of a few students, it seemed that it was a good batch but most of their attention is caught by a green haired examinee fighting a horde of bots efficiently without too much damage to his surroundings which was impressive seeing the power of the hits though it did confuse them as he was not pursuing them instead let the bots come to him. Aizawa turned to Nezu to see him with a smile looking at the same screen.

"Principle do you know the kid?"

"Of course I know him he is my student after all."

The other now understand the lingering dread that started all those years ago.

"Wait, if he's your student has he been going to your office? How did we not notice him? The staff room is literally in the way."

Nezu flashes them a cheeky smile. They sigh and look back to the screen.

"Why isn't he hunting down the robots?"

"Well we made a deal, if he succeeds he is allowed to skip all academic classes during his time here."

The staff look back to the screen. It seems the bots have decided to not engage with Midoriya and he began running around the arena helping the other examinees. They were wondering if he knew the special condition of the exam.

"I can assure you that he does not. Now let's see how he handles this!"

Nezu presses a big red button releasing the true obstacle of this exam the zero pointer.

The staff watched as Midoriya saved an examinee from falling rubble by seemingly teleporting the girl to him.

"What exactly is his quirk? We've seen him blow robots to smithereens, tank missiles and now teleportation. Is it energy manipulation? but that doesn't explain the teleportation completely."

"His quirk is reactive mutation which allow his body to adapt from harm until he is immune to it. The feats you see are all physical albeit supercharged by his regeneration."

A loud crunch of metal catches the attention of the room. They turn to see the head of the zero pointer crushed as Midoriya slowly lowered the rest of the zero pointer onto the road.

"It seems we got ourselves our first hero course student.

Nezu hit the intercom button for Izuku's site.

"Examinee 456 please attend to the observation room."

After a few minutes Izuku arrives to the observation room with a knock.

"Good afternoon, Midoriya please come in."

Izuku opens the door to a sea of heroes which makes him freak out a bit. Collecting himself he responds.

"Good afternoon Nezu, heroes. I assume this is about my preformance in the exam."

"Yes it is Midoriya, you got top scores in the written exam and have gained a total 162 points in the practical exam with 82 villain points and 80 hero points.

"Beating my record by 40 points young Midoriya."

"That's right, Congratulations you are now an official hero course student of class 1-a. Your homeroom teacher will be Shota Aizawa also known as-"

"Eraser Head, thank you for having me."

Aizawa has a unreadable expression and he makes a noise which could be interpreted as agreement.

'We'll see what you really are in a week.'
