Heiress (BnHA)

Chapter 33

Once the two of them got to their exam area, they stepped off the bus and walked through the front gate. It looked like their battle stage was a large city.

"Team Koyama and Kirishima, practical exam. Ready, go!" A voice proclaimed, and the two of them entered the area. The two of them ran through the main street, until Emiri spotted a block-like figure off in the distance. She glanced at Kirishima and motioned towards one of the alleyways before running into it.

"I doubt Cemontoss will let us get past him by the front, much less let us get anywhere near him." Emiri said, placing a hand up to her chin. The two of them had tried to talk strategy but without knowing what the setting of their battle field would be they had found it hard to come up with something solid.

"What about going through the alleyways?" Kirishima asked, walking a small ways down the one they were in."

"It would work but we don't know the layout of this place. We might end up lost."

"Right. Then how about the tops of the buildings?"

"How would we get up there?" Emiri looked up at Kirishima, who motioned towards a black stairwell along the outside of a nearby building. Standing up with a wide smile, Emiri ran over towards him, "You're a genius, Kirishima!" She exclaimed before running up to it and starting to climb up the stairs.

"Oh, uh, yeah, it was no big deal." Kirishima said with a sheepish smile, placing a hand on the back of his neck before following after the smaller girl.

Once the two of them were at the top of the building, they started hopping from building to building. Emiri helped Kirishima some of the way, since the redhead didn't have the same training as she had gotten with Edgeshot. Eventually the two of them got closer to where Cemontoss was. Peeking over the edge of a building, she noticed that he was starting to look around, it looked like he had realized that they weren't coming out of the alleyway they had gone into.

She pulled her head back and looked towards Kirishima, "Should we try to capture him?" She asked.

"We could, any plans for that?"

Emiri shook her head, "Your quirk could be efficient against him. Since he's probably as tough as cement I risk breaking off a limb if any of my blades or weapons snap off."

"Right... so, we continue to avoid him?"

Emiri nodded, "It's the best plan we've got. And if we try to fight him we might end up failing this exam, and I don't know about you but I can't go to summer school."

"Right. I'd like to be able to go to summer camp too." Kirishima said, chuckling slightly.

Emiri nodded and the two of them started moving again, hopping from building to building until they got close to the exit. Once they got close they looked for a way down, the building they were currently on were was too high for them to jump off and they couldn't spot a fire escape anywhere.

"Koyama, come here." Kirishima said.

"Yeah, do you have a plan?" Emiri asked, walking over to the red haired boy. She watched as he turned around and crouched slightly.

"I can take the fall, if you hop on my back I can bring you down with me." He said, looking over her shoulder and giving her a wide grin. "We'll have to start running immediately because Cemontoss will hear us but I think we're close enough to the exit to make a run for it!"

"Oh, I get it! You'll be able to harden your legs so they don't break once you make contact with the land! Good thinking!" She said clapping her hands together, and with his help she got on his back until he was holding her as if he were giving her a piggy-back ride.
