"And we're off to a racing start! How bout some color commentary mummy man!" 

"How did you talk me into this?" All the classes were off, and it was clear that the tunnel was the first obstacle. With all the students (Except the business course) Pushing and shoving, trying to get through the tunnel, it was no easy task. "What should we be paying attention to in the early stages of the race?" 

"The doorway." That confirmed it for me. I was halfway through the tunnel when I felt the temperature drop. I jumped, and my feet landed on ice. 

Todoroki. 

Most of the students were now stuck, but I got an idea. I boosted myself with a femur, jumping from shoulder to shoulder on the stuck students. Cries of pain came through them, but I paid them no mind. This may not be a war, but people still get hurt in fights. Besides, I don't weigh too much. Years of malnourishment kept me short and thin. I blame the 1940's for that one. 

As I got out of the tunnel, I saw pretty much everyone else from my class, and a few students from 1-B made it out too. "Nice trick todoroki!"

"But we can easily get past something like this!" I yelled. As I pushed myself off the last stuck student, I summoned a small set of bone knives and embedded them in my shoes. Yaoyorozu had roughly the same idea and had created some skated for herself. Mina was skating with her acid. Some students were having a harder time than others, but they were quickly getting free and gaining ground. 

The purple haired creep from before was bouncing from ball to ball from his head, and I avoided them, not knowing what they could do. Best not to find out right now. What was impressive though, was he was easily gaining ground on todoroki. "You think you're so cool, but I've outsmarted you! Ha, how pathetic!" he grabbed another ball from his head. "Eat this, my special attack! Gra-" He was cut off by a robot slamming into him, and I smirked. Nico caught up to me, Will a little behind, struggling slightly with balance. He didn't have skates, and this was a contest. It's no different from the three of us being on different teams in capture the flag. He understands that, and I already know he's not going to be mad. 

"Serves him right."

"Gloating like that in the middle of a fight? Who does he think he is, Percy?" Nico jokes, and I laugh. 

"Make him less pervy, and I'd say they're spitting images."

"How so?"

"The determination and mockery." He nods. As we got to solid ground, we obliterated the bone skates, but smirked when we saw the robots from the entrance exams. We smirked. 

"Ooh, enemies have shown up out of nowhere!  bet we're in for a treat here! A test of strength and cunning!" 

"Two on three, huh?"

"I like these odds." We twisted our rings and charged with our swords. 

"Woah, woah, woah, looks like the Di Angelo twins have swords?! Are those even allowed?"

"As long as they don't hurt students with them, I don't see the issue." We're able to slash through about half of them before todoroki finally gets his brain back on and freezes them. But it's obvious he froze them off center. As one's about to fall on me, I shadow travel to another robot that's not immediately falling, and start to run. 

"Woah, what's this? Evelina Di Angelo just teleported, Nico Di Angelo right on her tail! Both are pulling in close from Todoroki! That's three top students from class 1-A pulling in the lead!"

"It's part of the Di Angelo's quirks to manipulate shadows. A good portion of that is traveling through them." We pay no mind to the commentary. It's not important right now. In fact, we pretty much ignored it from here.
