Chapter 3 - 2. Practical Entrance Exam

"Welcome to today's live performance! Everyone say "Hey"!"

Well, putting aside the annoying Present Mic, it seems that I am in the same generation as the protagonist.

That brocolli hair is murmuring like an idiot.

So I will be in the main story huh?

That's great!

As for the practical entrance exam for the hero course, it turned out to be fighting robots.

Well, I am prepared.

We will be separated in 7 regions, decided by our exam ID.

Then we will be fighting robots.

There are four kinds of robots. Worth 1 point, 2 points, 3 points, and 0 points. The 0 point one is just an obstacle, according to Present Mic.

We will get points by eliminating the robots. But, since this is the exam for hero course, I am sure that saving people will lead to points too. Especially from the 0 point one, which is only one per region that people purposefully need to avoid.

It's so obvious that it's cliche. It's like it is somewhat inspired by the famous Bell Test of Naruto, seeing underneath the underneath.

We went to our test site, and it seems like I am in the same region as Brocolli Hair.

"What are you waiting for!? Start!"

As soon as start was announced, I rushed forward from the crowd, activating Sharingan.

I took out my katana from its scabbard, and readied my kunais, shurikens, thin steel wires, and my supply of oil.

If I don't have firepower, I can just carry it with me.

I threw shuriken dipped in oil, which went under the gaps of the first robot and slid against each other, creating a spark, and having the robot catch fire and explode.

*Boom!*

Alright. That's one point.

Broccoli Hair was frozen in fear in front of a robot, so I destroyed it the same way.

*Boom!*

1 point more. Plus maybe some points for rescue. Well, let's just count what I attack for now.

I saw a building good enough for a vantage point, so I climbed it.

From the above, I could see robots all around.

Take this! Take this! Take this!

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*BOOM!*

Ten three pointers. 30 points.

15 two pointers. 30 points.

Total 62.

And I have almost run out of kunai and shuriken.

I parkoured along the course, and jumped from the building when no one was nearby.

Using my only remaining two kunais to decrease my falling speed, I landed safely.

Then I took out a wire, covered in cloth dipped in oil, with a kunai at its end.

It's fire time!

Lightning it up on fire, I started running while swinging it.

*BOOM!*

3 points.

*BOOM!*

3 points.

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

3×5= 15 points.

2×5=10 points.

1×3=3 points.

Total 96 points.

4 points short of 100, but no more robots are around. I will have to—

Oh!

The very big 0 pointer came.

Can I take it?

It wouldn't hurt to try.

"Proctor, defeating an undefeatable villain to save others must give lots of points, even though the villain itself is 0 points and running away the better option, right?"

I covered my katana in a cloth, poured oil over it, and set my katana on flame.

I couldn't help but grin.

Let's bring it on!

Just as I was about to run towards it, I noticed Brocolli Hair coming from another direction, jumping high in the air, and took it out in a single punch!

Holy Hell!

All Might's physical strength must be insane then!

I sighed and started running towards a falling Brocolli Hair, using the fire extinguisher on my back to stop the fire in my katana.

I am not missing on extra points of saving someone.

With Sharingan and practice, handling fire isn't really an issue. In fact, I forgot to mention that I am somewhat resistant to fire, most likely an Uchiha thing that came with Sharingan even without Sharingan.

I arrived just on time, and caught Broccoli Hair, before the girl with power to make things float could snatch my points by saving him.

"Thank you!"

He was crying. Ew! Don't put your snot on me!

I dropped him.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!"

He started howling in pain, holding his arm and leg.

"And the test is over!"

The announcer anounced, and Brocolli Hair started crying.

...I know people like Zero to Hero progression, but this guy is pathetic.

Crying isn't pathetic, but his crying face absolutely is.

I looked at his broken arm and leg, and sighed. Maybe I should give him some advice?

In this world, while people don't have chakra, their Quirks takes energy which Sharingan can see. So I can determine from where their Quirk activates. Like the Spectacle Guy's legs glowed, and he has engine exhausts there.

As for Brocolli Guy, his energy is evenly in his entire body, but during his punch, he forced everything in his hand.

"Your Quirk is for body strengthening, so why are you forcing your body to do too much?

Like, why are you trying to run like Usain Bolt when your body can't handle it? Walk instead. Otherwise, you will get cramps, since you are not used to it and get severe injuries."

"Huh!?"

"And you are ugly."

"What!?"

With the advice, I left, waving at granny Recovery Girl.

Giving advice to others should also count in being a Hero.

I should get more than 100 points for sure now.

Hehehe! I will surely get lots of attention with this and it will affect my future Hero ranking!
