Chapter 29: The First Part Of The Exam!

Antoine arrived in the city location of the exam with a smile on his face. He had Lackey scanning for any useful quirks for his research and would release tiny robotic mosquitoes to steal their blood and storage it for later. But before focusing on anything like that… he would have as much fun as he can during this exam. He had three of his tentacles protecting his targets while the other three were meant for combat purposes. He had on the strength series of his hero costume and went off while using the muscle augmentation quirk. However, he didn't show it off and announcing to the world that he has a second quirk somehow. He wrapped and layered muscle over muscle while outwardly his body looked no different, but inwardly he was exploding with strength.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SIDE CHARACTERS READY TO DIE!?" Antoine shouted from atop a rooftop.

"That's the cheater from the sports festival!"

"His only quirk is his teeth! Get him!"

"If I take out the cheater who took first place in the U.A sports festival then I'll definitely become more popular!"

Antoine jumped down from the rooftop and landed on his feet.

*BOOOOOM*

A shockwave traveled through the ground and tore the street up, as if an earthquake raged through the city block. The streets were filled with injured, fallen, and off balanced students. Although a couple were still standing or flying safely.

Antoine grinned menacingly.

"Seems like not all of you are complete fucking trash! Good! Show me your stuff and maybe you'll live!" Antoine laughed before vanishing from his spot and appearing next to a girl whose quirk gave her bug-like wings and was hovering above the ground. Antoine kicked her in the stomach and launched her into the side of a building, she was knocked into a wall and fainted.

"What the!? Wasn't he just over there?! How did he get----" The student that was currently speaking while standing upright on the side of a building without falling via gravity was interrupted as Antoine appeared in front of him next and grabbed his face and they started falling towards the ground.

*CRACK*

The boy's face was smashed into the ground and a few robotic mosquitoes exited from Antoine's shoes and crawled on the boy.

'Hmm. Interesting quirk. I wonder if it works on any surface.. Like could I stand on air…? Liquids? It'll be interesting to experiment with.'

"Everyone! Get him before he gets us! Don't let him take the initative!"

"COME AND GET ME! THE STAR OF U.A.'S FRESHMEN! THE STRONGEST FRESHMAN IN EXISTENCE!" Antoine roared out, causing some of the students to falter slightly and lose their spirits.

"You're…. not even… trying to win… you haven't tagged anyone's targets with your balls…" A shivering busty girl said on the ground with her foot injured.

"Yeah… What kind of hero enjoys torturing others! You're no hero at all! You're more like a villain than a hero!

Antoine stared into her eyes and smiled, causing her to jump in fright as he suddenly appeared over her.

"A hero has to have his flaws." Antoine shrugged with a goofy smile on his face. "There's no such thing as the perfect hero. And one of my flaws just so happens to be I love beating the shit out of people! It's the beautiful imperfect nature of humanity that makes it all so forgiving. Now die." He smiled while rearing up his next attack.

"Oh really now…" A voice questioned as a figure suddenly appeared behind Antoine and reached for his target with their ball.

Before they could reach Antoine's target though, their throat was snatched up by one of Antoine's tentacles and held in the air choking.

"Close one. I have no idea how you managed to sneak up behind me… but take this as a consolation prize…" Antoine covered his fist in the tiny robotic mosquitos and punched the boy in the stomach, launching him through one of the buildings and unconscious.

"Damn… he's way stronger than he was at the sports festival… And now that he can use his equipment he's unstoppable!"

"Don't give up yet! I didn't want to do this but… it looks like I have no choice…" He smiled despite the tense and terrible situation.

The students who were uninjured and still wanting to fight against Antoine had their bodies covered in a golden light.

"Whoa.. I feel lighter…."

"I feel like my fists can cave through steel!" A student said while punching the air.

"I can think much more clearly now…."

The students who were about to give up on ever defeating Antoine, gained new confidence! They attacked together towards the boy as Antoine marked the boy who caused the golden lights to appear. A girl wearing a Chinese-based hero costume ran towards him and palmed towards his face. He crossed his arms while casually swaying his head from left to right as the girl continued to assault him with quick and nimble attacks.

"You're pretty cute you know. I'm liking the Chinese design. How about after these exams, I get your number and we can get to know each other a bit more?" Antoine chatted as the girl's face turned slightly red and her attacks turned fiercer.

"Like I would date a cheater like you! A man who knows no honor is no man at all!"

"ANNNNNNNN WRONG ANSWER!" Antoine yelled like a buzzer from a game show as he tripped the girl off her feet and his tentacle slammed her into the ground.

Another student quickly attacked after he took out that girl and suddenly his tentacles were inactive.

"Interesting.. A tech based quirk or a metal based one?" Antoine asked before getting assaulted from behind by a kid whose quirk transformed them into a half man half spider being.

They slashed, whipped, and stomped at him with his large spider legs. Antoine hopped away and held onto the side of a building with his fingers. He looked down on the increasingly confident students.

"We got him now! He's trapped like a rat!"

"Keep it and up and we'll have this cheater eliminated!"

"I can keep buffing you guys for a couple more minutes! Let him have it!"

Antoine grinned.

"I'm really being looked down on huh…" He muttered as he reached behind his lab coat and pulled out a large bazooka.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD!?"

"WHERE DID YOU HIDE THAT!?"

"GET HIM BEFORE HE CAN USE IT!"

They quickly came after him but before they could reach him, he jumped off the side of the building and on top of one of the rooftops. He shot the bazooka and a missile fired into the air.

"YOU MISSED! HAHAHAHA!"

"How clumsy of me. My aims been getting worse lately. I think i have to take a shit." Antoine said with a casual smile as the missile suddenly broke apart and split into multiple tiny missiles.

The tiny missiles then rained down from above and targeted whoever was near them.

"LOOK OUT!!!!"

The battlefield turned into chaos as explosions covering the city in smoke and destroyed buildings. The sounds of injured students below along with screaming and crying caused a wide grin to appear on Antoine's face before suddenly a strange gulf of wind began taking everyone's balls, the smoke, and the fire engulfing the city.

"Inasa Yoarashi…." Antoine's eyes turned serious while his face looked annoyed.

"I believe that heroes need to have some hot blood!!! And with everyone fighting so heatedly, I can't help myself!! Let me feel your heated souls as well!!!" He shouted from atop a rooftop as he sent the giant cyclone of fire, wind, and balls down towards the students below.

*WITH THE ANNOUNCER*

"Ah finally someone else cleared it…." He muttered as he was awakened by the sound of someone passing. "Wait a minute…. 119 EXAMINEES ARE NOW OUT! 119 HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT BY A SINGLE PERSON, WHO THERBY PASSES THE EXAM!!" He shouted to all the remaining students.

"What a piece of shit…" Antoine muttered before appearing behind the super energetic student.

"You got lucky Commander Egghead… If you get in my way next time, I'll fucking destroy you." Antoine told him as numerous mosquitoes flew onto his body and disappeared into his tentacles.

"You're pretty fierce too! Although it's a shame I didn't manage to get you out, with our blazing passion, we'll surely meet again!!!" He shouted before walking off.

Antoine took off to more locations to scout for quirks and just to beat the shit out of people.

*WITH TORU*

"Hey be careful! Don't let his gum touch you or you'll get stuck!"

"Don't worry I know!"

As they two were dodging a bubble gum themed student and his quirk. A sudden figure came into existence and appeared behind one of the boys. The newcomer wrapped their arms around the boy's neck and silently choked him out.

"Hey Menetsu! Let's use our team attack!" The boy's friend called out. He waited a few seconds for his friend to respond but there was no answer. He turned around and noticed that his buddy was unconscious and eliminated! But that brief moment for when he looked at his partner, the hidden figure appeared behind the boy and took him down to the ground. They wrenched the boy's arm behind his back and causing him to loudly shout in pain before also getting eliminated.

The figure got up and wiped their forehead with a wide grin on their face.

"Completed! This first part was a piece of cake!" Toru said happily as she walked towards the Ante Room, or the room where the winners stay.

"Our first winner huh… That was quicker than usual." The announcer said before telling everyone of the first winner of the first part of the exam.

*WITH YUGA*

Yuga was on a bridge-like area where students were having a free for all. He saw some explosions and electricity on the other side of the bridge and wondered if those were his classmates' quirks. He moved in towards a person whose attention was directed elsewhere and punched them in the liver from behind with his boxing gloves. The student dropped to their knees from the excruciating pain and before he could eliminate him, Yuga was attacked by two others. One had a pink gooey body while the other turned into solid gold. The gooey once leapt at him and the gold one ran at him while sinking into the concrete slightly from his weight.

"I know him! He's from U.A.! He's the kid who can shoot lasers from his stomach!"

"He's pretty good at fighting, so I'll handle him! I won't even feel a thing from his punches. Capture him when you can!" The gold one said.

"I can hear you guys…" Yuga said embarrassedly as he prepared himself for the golden student.

The gold boy sent a wild right towards Yuga's head which he swayed away from easily. Yuga rapidly punched the golden figure and he started laughing.

"You can't hurt me with that level of strength!" He grabbed towards Yuga who avoided him and got on the side of the boy before punching him in the side of the face as a laser shot out of his elbow and waist, improving the power of his punch greatly, not to mention additionally adding a laser shot after his punch to the golden boy's face. The student's quirk faded as he crashed through the metal bars on the bridge and falling off the bridge.

"YUGIMORI!!!" The gooey boy yelled as Yuga threw his shades into the air and punched a laser beam out of his fist towards the lenses of the glasses. The shades appeared over the slime boy's head and laser deflected off of the shades and blasted down on the gooey student like an orbital beam from space! The boy was obliterated into hundreds of tiny pink goop and Yuga eliminated him with his balls.

After eliminating the duo, Yuga continued further down the bridge, after picking up his shades, to win this part of the exam and eliminate another contestant. Eventually he met up with Bakugou, Kirishima, and Kaminari fighting against other students as well.

"Is that Aoyama?!" Kirishima said with his hardening quirk activating and fighting against a green panther.

"Hi guys!" Yuga greeted.

"Shining Bastard…." Bakugou muttered as he grabbed the head of a cow-headed student and exploded their head. He let them fall to the ground as they fainted.

"Yooo Aoyama! Nice to see another one of us here!" Kaminari said as he fired off electricity and shocked 3 enemy students.

Yuga was suddenly shot at from behind by a strange substance. He dodged and someone appeared from above and kicked down towards him with a diving kick after the weird projectile that was shot at him.

"Nice reactions." They complimented.

Yuga kept silent and focused on the spider-themed opponent.

"Not much of a talker huh? Well that's fine too. I'll be eliminating you now. No hard feelings bud." He said while shrugging his shoulder and leaping towards Yuga.

Yuga rushed forward and before the slender boy could land attempted to punch him from where he would be landing. The boy agilely twisted his torso and avoided the attack while kicking at Yuga after landing. Yuga ducked and turned around with a straight punch that was also narrowly avoided. Yuga then began his offensive assault and continued to fire punch after punch at the student. But it seemed no matter how many punches he sent or how fast they got, the boy was capable of just barely dodging them.

"Whoa! You're good! Even I'm!! Having a hard time keeping up with you! Do you work out?" He asked while seemingly still joking around.

Yuga continued to not respond as he continued to rapidly punch at the boy who was slowly beginning to get tired.

"Hey isn't this enough now…? We can just call it quits now you know… If you're getting tired you can tell me bro!" The kid said before attempting to hop away and gain some distance from the untiring sparkling beast.

Yuga shot a laser beam in the boy's direction that just slightly missed and only grazed the boy's costume.

"You might want to work on that aiming Twinkles!" He joked before suddenly. "AGH!!!" He was shot in the back by Yuga's laser that deflected off of his shades that he threw earlier in the fight and knocked to the ground.

Yuga walked over and eliminated the spider boy who couldn't even move anymore.

"You got me good…. Yuga Aoyama…. Even with my arachnid senses, I didn't see that coming…"

"It was nice fighting with you. I didn't respond before because I didn't know if your quirk could be activated by me responding." He explained.

"Weirdo…. That would be a pretty awesome quirk though…." The boy said as he accepted his lost and fainted.

Yuga wiped off the sweat on his forehead with a relieved smile on his face.

"I got this."

*BOOOOOOM*

A figure appeared, crashing from the sky, and into the middle of the bridge.

"WHERE'S THAT FUCKING SQUINTY-EYED GNAT!?" A very familiar voice shouted.

"Antoine?! Why are you still here??" Yuga asked, knowing how easy it should have been for Antoine to win already.

"Duh! To fuck some bitches up!" He replied as one of his tentacles snaked towards a student and smashed them into the metal bars on the side of the bridge.

"IT'S THE CHEATER FROM THE SPORTS FESTIVAL!"

"GET THOSE U.A. STUDENTS!!!"

"Nice going Neil! Now they're teaming up against us!" Kaminari complained.

"Deal with it you fucking pussy. This should be your greatest chance. In fact…" Antoine muttered before one of his tentacles snatched up Kaminari and threw him towards the horde of incoming students.

"YOU CRAZY JERK!!!!!!! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!!!" He shouted while his body sparked and electrified before letting off a huge electrical discharge and taking out a large portion of the students on the bridge and afterwards having his brain short circuit from the overload of electricity.

"Yay..." He repeated while raising his thumbs up and drooling.

"Afro Bastard…. Don't get in my way or I'll blast you as well!"

"Whatever princess. I'll be gone in a second." Antoine said as he appeared over the purple haired flesh manipulating quirk kid.

He had his robo bugs take his blood before taking off towards the main area where Midoriya was. He had to deal with a certain crazy fan-favorite villain and store a few more quirks!! He took out his glider from behind his back (Inventory) and took off.

"Hmph.. I guess he really did leave in a second. I wonder what he even came here for." Kirishima said eliminating his second contestant and winning the first part of the exam.

"Take Drooly and make him take some of these mobs out." Bakugou ordered as he also eliminated his second person and winning the round.

Antoine soon appeared over the completely demolished rocky terrain and spotted Midoriya and a naked girl fighting.

He grinned as he leapt off of his glider and towards the disguised villain. She managed to spot him just in time before he landed and dodged his grab. Antoine continued to swipe and grab at the naked villain who managed to just barely stay out of his reach.

"NEIL!?!" Midoriya said surprised.

"Hey, you were wiling to play around with that cabbage headed fuck but not give the time of day for me?" Antoine said while continuing to grab at her.

"You're not my type. Go away." She responded in complete disinterest.

"Well I'm not particularly interested in yanderes either but we can bang okay? Your body is lit as fuck." Antoine said as suddenly fired a round bullet into her gut and caused her to groan in pain before taking off and exiting the battlefield.

'That tracker should last me a while. Toga's pretty prominent later on in the story so, she won't die before that tracker can become useful.' Antoine thought.

"Thanks Neil. But did you know her?" Midoriya asked.

"Yeah. I guess you can say something like that." He answered disinterestedly before taking off as Sero and Uraraka showed up.

"I just can't understand what drives him..." Midoriya muttered.

"What was that Deku?" Uraraka asked.

He shook his head before teaming up with the two to win the first part of the exam. Antoine appeared on the chaotic battlefield.

"HERES A U.A. STUDENT RIPE FOR THE TAKING!!! COME FOR ME!!!" He shouted before vanishing and clotheslining into a student's throat and knocking him away into a bunch of other kids.

"GET HIM AND THE OTHERS!!"

Antoine gut punched a student into the air and appeared above him before double fisting hammer punching their back and launching them into the ground. He dodged a pink orb aimed for his head and kneed another student in their chest and took their breath away, they dropped to the ground incapacitated as Antoine was assaulted on all fronts. He only laughed as he continued to mercilessly crush the other students while his bugs drained the blood of certain ones.

"Pop goes the weakling!" Antoine joked as he stomped a student into the ground and then grabbed their unconscious body to beat other students with.

"HEY ISN'T HE YOUR FRIEND!? WHY IS HE HITTING YOU?! COME SAVE HIM! DON'T RUN AWAY!!" Antoine taunted as he used the unconscious body of their friend to beat other students with before throwing them towards a fleeing student.

Another projectile was heading towards him according to Lackey, but he already sniffed out the object beforehand. He ducked and was about to pummel the person who threw it but the boomerangs returned back and headed straight for his head. He avoided them again but they just homed in on him as they turned around.

"Fine. You wanna play with toys. I'll show you toys." Antoine said as he reached into his lab coat (Inventory) and pulled out two completely smoothed out tonfas.

His tentacles caught the boomerangs and crushed them into pieces as Antoine whipped the two sticks and turned them into miniature helicopter blades. The eventually reached the owner of the boomerangs and he dodged them despite their terrifying speed and spinning, but before he knew it they doubled back and struck him in the back and side. He shouted out in agonizing pain as he dropped to the ground.

Antoine smirked.

"You're not the only asshole who can control thrown projectiles." He said as the sticks returned back to Antoine.

Antoine looked over the terribly destroyed and chaotic battlefield and managed to spot a few members of his class.

"Heh… Idiots! Aoyama isn't here to bring you all together this time. I wonder how things will turn out without Sparkles shooting his laser into the sky." Antoine murmured as his glider flew down towards him.

He hopped on and flew in the sky before hearing someone yell something.

"Isn't that Neil?" Mineta asked.

"That is him! We have to follow him! If we can see it everyone else can see it too!"

"You bastards… Don't fucking come to me!!!" Antoine yelled as the previously split up members of Class A came together at his location along with the fallen bodies of his untagged victims.

"You lucky bastards… YOU ALL OWE ME FOR THIS! MINETA, IIDA, KODA, TOKOYAMI, SATO, OJIRO, AND ASHIDO!" Antoine yelled as they eliminated the people he crushed earlier and passed this round. Antoine tentacles stretched and eliminated two people below from on top of his glider and flew towards the winner's ground.

"100 PARTICIPANTS HAVE MADE IT!! IT'S OVER! WOOOO-EE IT'S OVER!! AND NOW, THOUGH IT SADDENS US, WE MUST USHER THE EXAMINEES WHO FAILED OFF THE PREMISES." The announcer said.

*IN THE ANTE ROOM*

"ALL RIGHT!!!!!!!" U.A members cheered together.

"OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!!"

"Everybody in U.A. made it through to the next phase!!"

Antoine rubbed his head in annoyance.

"Lucky bastards… although… that was pretty fun…." Antoine softly smiled thinking back on his use of Broly's fighting style he uploaded into Lackey. "I gained a few nice skills as well."

Chapter 30: The Final Part Of The Exam!

"Ahem.. Everyone." The monitor inside the room came on showing the previous exam location.

*BOOM BOOM BOOOOOOM*

The entire multi-terrain erupted into explosions. It was being systematically destroyed all over, all to the mass confusion of the remaining 100 winners.

"The next exam is the last! You will all act as bystanders and conduct rescue operations at a disaster site!" The announcer explained.

Antoine whistled before laughing loudly.

"Looks like you guys are fucked!!!" He mockingly laughed at his own classmates. "We didn't do any fucking rescue training!!! HAHAHAHAH!!"

"I don't see what's so funny Neil! You didn't get any rescue training either!" Jiro retorted.

"I trained myself! Hahahahaah!" He gloated as the announcer continued his explanation.

"You will not be acting as ordinary citizens, but as people who have already secured a provisional license. This will be a test of your aptitude for rescue operations."

"There are people out there..." Yuga pointed out.

"What!?"

"Old people and little kids!? What are they doing out there?! It's dangerous!!"

"They just explained that this will be a rescue operation test…. For fucks sake listen you dipshits." Antoine muttered loudly much to the annoyance of some of the others.

"These folks are in very high demand for all sorts of drills as Pros at needing rescue!! They're the staff of the Help Us Company or HUC for short!" The announcer explained.

'I might need a company like that… My robots can simulate life-threatening injuries if I create them too… Hm..'

"The folks at HUC are on standby all over the field disguised as casualties and it's your mission to extricate them. Now, this time you and your rescue efforts will be graded via points. If, at the end of the exercise, you have exceeded the watermark score, you will have cleared the exam. The test starts in ten minutes, so go use the facilities now if you need to."

Antoine pulled out a video game console from his lab coat (Inventory) and started playing it while waiting. Eventually Shiketsu students came over towards U.A and apologized for one of their friend's behavior. Antoine figured this would be a great time to rile some people up and maybe even gain some taunt skill experience. Antoine threw two pieces of bread at the Shiketsu students, one at the disguised Toga and the other at the completely haired boy who wanted to make good relations with U.A. .

Toga managed to catch the bread while giving Antoine stank eyes while the furry boy, Mora, had the bread bounce off his hair.

"What a shame! A lot more of you managed to make it to this stage than I wanted." Antoine said while walking over.

"Neil! Don't be rude! These guys were just about to get on good terms with us!" Yaoyorozu said.

"Who would need to be on good terms with a bunch of fucking trash? You think U.A. has degraded this far to just associate with any fucking hero school? Know your places and don't embarrass us any further." Antoine said to both his classmates and Shiketsu.

Yaoyorozu stepped up as Kirishima, Ojiro, and Sero grabbed Antoine away.

"HEY GET OFF ME! I'M JUST TELLING THE TRUTH! U.A. WILL BE NUMBER ONE AS LONG AS I'M PART OF THE SCHOOL!!!" He shouted as Kaminari began apologizing for Antoine's behavior.

"I'm so sorry about that…. He doesn't speak for any of us. We would love to be on friendly terms with Shiketsu." She smiled while shaking Mora, the hair extension quirk guy's, hand.

Mora rubbed the back of his head confused but accepting the apology and walking away with the others. Antoine was about to fiercely break free from the three boys until an alarm started blaring inside the room.

"A TERRORIST ATTACK BY VILLAINS HAVE UNFOLDED! THE SCOPE OF THE DAMAGE ENCOMPOSES THE ENTIRETY OF X CITY, AND THE COLLAPSED BUILDINGS HAVE INJURED A GREAT MANY!"

"You fuckers are lucky the exam is starting or I would've kicked all three of your asses." Antoine said shaking off the three.

"Come on man! You don't gotta make enemies with everyone you see." Kirishima said.

"For real! We can just be chill sometimes!" Kaminari agreed.

Antoine ignored them as the building opened up again.

"THE DAMAGE TO THE ROADS IS SEVERE, CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DELAYS TO THE FIRST-RESPONDERS! THE HEROES ON THE SCENE MUST LEAD THE RESCUE EFFORTS UNTIL THEY MAKE IT THERE! SAVE AS MANY LIVES AS YOU CAN, EVEN IF IT'S JUST ONE!" The announcer said as the 100 students barreled towards the injured civilians.

Antoine switched to the Agl series of his hero costume and was one of the firsts to arrive on the scene. He saw one of the judges crying his eyes out with blood dripping down his face and breathing irregular.

"MY GRANPA!!!! YOU GOT TO SAVE HIM!!!!"

'I have a soft spot for children but not actors… Although I can't afford to lose points by acting honestly.. Time to place my faith in my Lv.3 Acting skill.' Antoine prayed as he changed his entire personality.

[Acting Lv3 – You're able to play nearly any character you want! Build this skill up higher to become the greatest actor or manipulator ever known.

All interactions will have a 6% chance of the recipient having a positive view of the user.

Has a slightly low chance of having people believe your acting.]

Antoine smiled in a comforting way.

"Are you alright little man? Look at me." Antoine asked as the boy continued to scream about his grandfather but also following Antoine's commands as he made sure if the boy was okay. "Don't worry little dude. I'll go save your grandpa right away but for now I gotta make sure you're safe! Come on let's go and you'll see your awesome grandpa in no time!" He said while his tentacle detached and carried the boy in a safe and secure manner while returning to the scene of the crime and saving more people.

"How the hell did your old ass get stuck up there..?" Antoine muttered while looking at a woman hanging off the side of a tilted building. She was screaming for help as her grip was slowly loosening more and more.

Antoine flew up with his glider and picked up the old lady before slowly flying towards the makeshift evac center. As he gave the elderly woman who was thanking him while trying to stain his lab coat in tears and snot.

"She's fine for the most part just a little shooken up." He explained.

"Thank you. I'll take it from here." One of the heroes taking care of the "injured" civilians said.

*KABOOOOOOOM*

Explosions erupted once more around the already destroyed testing field. Which caused mass panic among the examinees and the "civilians."

'Finally, time to fucking have some fun.' Antoine said as the villains of this exam finally showed up.

His tentacles popped off his back and shapeshifted their tips into hands as they began searching and looking for more people to save and rescue. 'But a few little more rescue points could never hurt.' He chuckled while walking towards the villains.

"VILLAINS HAVE APPEARED OUT OF THE WOODWORKS TO GIVE CHASE! ALL WOULD-BE HEROES ON THE SCENE, KINDLY SUPRESS THE VILLAINS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CONTINUING RELIEF EFFORTS." The announcer informed.

Antoine pulled out a replica of Shao Kahn's war hammer while equipping the Str series of his hero costume and amplifying his muscles secretly.

[The Kahn's Hammer – This long-handled hammer with a heavy metal head was created based on the design of the original one marked with a golden U. Due to being crafted with decent materials and identical looks to the original, additional effects have been added.

+80 Str added to stats when equipped.

+75 Vit added to stats when equipped.

Able to recall hammer telepathically.

Those defeated by the hammer have a 5% chance of having a random skill stolen from their "souls."]

"Now let's conquer this realm!" Antoine laughed as he smashed his hammer into a single member of Gang Orca's group.

The mock villain was launched away like a flying star in a space. He spiraled all the way back through the hole the villains created and took a few additional ones with him.

"Not bad kid.. but don't you think you're-----" The mock villain boss was cut off via small ice glacier attack and windstorm.

"HEY THESE FUCKERS ARE MINE YOU DIP SHITS! If you get in my way I'll kill you both myself!" Antoine threatened the two recommendation students before leaping towards the villains and smashing the ground underneath them. The impact from Antoine's war hammer caused the ground to quake and shake before breaking into pieces. The villains were halted in their assault and also mostly unbalanced.

Antoine threw his large hammer into the air and threw an icy-blue colored poké ball in the middle of the villains. Before the villains could escape from the strange item, the poké ball exploded into an icy wonderland. The ground and any nearby mock villains were encapsulated in ice, completely incapacitated. Antoine's hammer came crashing down from the sky towards the villain boss, Gang Orca.

"What an impressive kid… managed to halt our assault all by himself but I can't let this be too easy." Gang Orca muttered as he used sound waves to blast away Antoine's hammer.

He then ran straight to the boy whose hammer managed to return straight to his hand. Antoine swung towards the incoming Orca who used his sound waves to combat against Antoine's strangely powerful strength. His "henchmen" or sidekicks began shooting their cement guns at Antoine, Todoroki, and Inasa. Inasa and Todoroki began trying to fight against villains but since they were at odds with each other they ran into some problems. Antoine also couldn't completely focus on Gang Orca thanks to his henchmen backing him up. The numerous cement bullets coming towards him didn't allow him to fully give his all-in attacking Gang Orca and he was blasted away by the villain's sonic waves.

"Those side kicks are really cool….. I guess this is why they tell you in every game to get rid of the mooks first before you try and take out the main boss…" Antoine muttered while lying on the ground. Suddenly he felt a fierce heat heading straight towards him..

He looked up and saw a wave of fire coming to engulf him into a fiery hug.

"You've got to be kidding me…" Antoine muttered as he saw Midoriya coming to try and save him. Antoine grabbed the boy's hand and slammed him into the ground before swinging his hammer straight at the wave of fire and extinguished it with powerful winds created by his hammer.

He then glared at both Todoroki and Inasa while running his thumb across his throat. He then helped up Midoriya.

"My bad cabbage head… I just couldn't possibly let myself be saved in such a pathetic manner. I appreciate the gesture though. Take this." Antoine pulled out a regular looking watch that automatically attached itself to Midoriya's wrist.

Midoriya looked on, completely freaked out at the strange moving watch but didn't refuse Neil's gift. He was more freaked out by the fact that Neil apologized and even treated him like a decent human being! Midoriya watched as those tentacles that were originally part of Neil's costume flying around carrying and saving people.

The two distracted recommendation students were made incapacitated by Gang Orca after Antoine recovered and now Antoine and Midoriya stood against the remaining mock villains and their boss.

"That watch will boost certain attributes depending on the time. 12-3 will boost agility. 4-7 will boost vitality. 8-11 will boost strength." Antoine explained as Gang Orca was suddenly engulfed in a fire tornado and him and Midoriya started taking out the henchmen.

"Thanks Neil!" Midoriya said while thinking that maybe Neil isn't as horrible as he thought. Maybe he's just misunderstood.

Eventually the rest of the students that were capable of fighting joined in with Antoine and Midoriya, helping them fight back the mock villains while the non-combatant heroes continued evacuating the civilians. Before long Antoine and Midoriya were standing in front of a freed Gang Orca while Inasa and Todoroki were about to be eliminated by the villain boss.

"Although it's a bit unfair, get ready to get fucking murdered villain." Antoine threatened with a grin on his face and his hammer over his shoulder.

"We'll stop you Gang Orca!" Midoriya added with green lightning surging across his body.

The two charged towards him with Antoine taking the lead. Antoine appeared underneath Gang Orca and swung upwards towards his chin while Midoriya snuck from the side and kicked from behind. Gang Orca used soundwaves to clash against Antoine's strike and blocked with his metal gauntlet against Midoriya's kick.

"Erm—If I could have you're attention please. All stationed members of HUC have been rescued from the crisis area. This may be considerably selfish of me, but with that I must bring these provisional license examination to a close!!!!" The announcer said.

Antoine clicked his tongue in annoyance as he stared at the #10 ranked Pro Hero.

"I'll get you next time Fish Face." Antoine said while walking off.

"Orcas are mammals. Not fish." Midoriya muttered softly.

"Shut the fuck up you nerd! I know what fucking dolphins are!" Antoine shouted.

"How did he hear me from all the way over there….?" Midoriya jumped in surprise.

"I'm looking forward to your future achievements kid. Shame I had to wear this restrictive protector on." Gang Orca said.

"Still would've kicked your ass…." Antoine said softly as his tentacles returned back to him and attached themselves back onto the back of his costume.

"After we tally the scores, I will present the results of the examination to you all here. Those who have suffered injuries, please direct yourselves to the medical office. The rest of you, please change back into your normal clothes and await further instructions. Thank you." The announcer said.

Everyone did as the announcer instructed and a couple of minutes later returned back to the field.

"I wonder how I did…" Yuga said slightly anxious.

"I'm nervous too!! I wonder if they managed to catch my sweet rescues!" Toru said shaking with excitement and nervousness.

"Those assholes better attribute my tentacles as part of my rescue…" Antoine muttered.

"I couldn't show off my first aid techniques because none of them were really injured." Toru said sadly.

"It would've been more helpful if they were actually injured. I fucking hate ketchup." Antoine said rubbing his nose.

"Still don't like ketchup?" Yuga laughed.

"Fuck off you sparkling bastard. Everyone has different taste buds and mine say that ketchup taste like cock and balls."

"How do you know what that taste like? HMMMMM?!?!?" Toru asked teasingly.

"HMMMMM!?!? HOW DO YOU KNOW ANTOINE!??! BEEN TASTING SOME COCK AND BALLS LATELY!?" Yuga added on.

"SHUT UP YOU FUCKING TARDS!!!" Antoine yelled angrily before also laughing with those two dumbasses. 'That was a good one… They are learning some terrible habits from me…'

The group was eventually calmed down as one of the judges walked up on stage ready to present their results.

"In terms of how we went about evaluating you, between us members of the hero public safety commission and our colleagues from the HUC, we had two systems of point deduction that were combined to evaluate your performance. In short, we were examining both the quality and nature of your conduct in situations of crisis. The names of those who passed the examination will be displayed here in alphabetical order. With all that in mind, please go ahead and review the results yourself." The board behind him lit up and turned on before revealing a list of 100 student's names.

Antoine, Toru, and Yuga all saw their names on the boards.

"YAY!!!!!" Toru cheered.

"I passed… I really did it..! Without leaning on anyone either.. I really am progressing…!" Yuga claimed while clutching his fist in joy.

"Like any other outcome could have possibly happened." Antoine said smugly as the class began consoling Bakugou and Todoroki.

Antoine grinned as wide as he could before walking over. But before he could enact his plan, he was swiftly stopped by both Toru and Yuga.

"You traitors!!! LET ME MAKE FUN OF THEM!!! PRINCESS AND ICY HOT HAVE TO BE MADE FUN OF!!!!! I'LL KILL YOU LATER TODOROKI FOR ALMOST CHARRING ME!!!" Antoine yelled as he was taken away by his best friends.

"Ahem. All participants, have you had a chance to confirm the results? Moving right along now, we will distribute some handouts. The specifics of your scoring are described there in great detail, so please look over them carefully." The examiner said as men in black suits started handing out folders.

"Antoine Neil." One of the black suits asked while handing him his folder.

"AHAHAHAHAH 99 POINTS!!! ME!!! HAVE YOU BLIND FUCKS REALIZED YET THAT I'M THE GREATEST!?!?" Antoine gloated to his classmates who expressed explicit disbelief and shock before Antoine showed them.

"The cutoff line was 50 points. We utilized a point reduction system to determine your scores. You can read over the various actions and behaviors which resulted in a deduction of your points, followed by how many points were deducted for each one."

"How did he get 99 points!?" Iida said completely shocked.

"I'm surprised as well.." Shoji said.

"He only lost a point because he harmed a fellow teammate!" Mineta said.

"Who did he attack!?" Uraraka asked concerned.

Midoriya chuckled nervously before bringing attention to himself.

"It's fine. I'm sure Neil didn't mean to do it on purpose." He excused.

"I got 95!" Toru shouted.

"93 for me! It seems I could've smiled a bit more and acted more positively when rescuing the old people."

Antoine shrugged his shoulders as the examiner began talking again after everyone looked at their scores.

"To all of the participants who passed… from now on, depending on the nature of the emergency, your new position will grant you the authority to exercise privileges equal to that of Pro Heroes. That is to say, combat against villains, conducting disaster and accident relief, and the like… even without orders from pro heroes, you are now able to act at your own discretion. However, with that power comes an even greater responsibility to society, which with every individual action you take… will grow even larger! You'd do well to remember that!"

"Blah blah blah… sum it up already you drowsy-eyed fuck…" Antoine softly said annoyed while Yuga was listening wholeheartedly and Toru also listening intently.

"And lastly… erm, to all those who were not fortunate enough to pass.. you do not have the luxury of allowing yourselves to become dejected over losing too many points. There is still a chance remaining for you all! After first attending a special training course in March, if you produce strong results on your individual tests, we intent to issue all of you provisional licenses as well!"

Eventually, everyone left with those who gained their licenses in high spirits and those who failed getting motivated to try even harder in the special course in March.

[Mission Completed!

Gained 10 gear effects and 2,000 exp. Choose which reward you would like: 20 block of Adamantium or Vibranium.]

"Vibranium." Antoine said as he received all of the rewards and quickly looked inside his Inventory to see 20 blocks of Vibranium and 10 gear effects. 'Inventory.' He pulled up.

[ Freezing Gear Effect, Random Gear Effect, Boosting Gear Effect, Vampiric Gear Effect, Vicious Gear Effect, Speedy Gear Effect, Advancing Gear Effect, Defensive Gear Effect, Charisma Gear Effect]

"I'm going to be up all night…. Labeling all the blood, deciding what to make with this Vibranium, choosing which gears should receive gear effects, which skills I should use as experience for mixing certain items, and using up my skill points finally. I'm going to be a new man or at least half of a new man. I doubt I'm going to get even half of my current plans done by tomorrow. I only got a couple of hours! I need to hurry!"

Antoine took off towards his secret lab underneath his store and started work alongside his android lab assistants who take care of things while he's gone. Antoine looked over his plant test subjects and saw that none of them manages to manifest a quirk or anything like it quite yet but his animal test subjects have already shown signs of awakening.

He watched as a white mouse emitted a strange gas from its body and caused the other nearby mice to fall asleep. A different cage held a rabbit completely covered in sharp thorns. Any thorns removed were immediately replaced by another thorn however, it seems it couldn't continuously replace the thorns forever. After enough thorns are destroyed, the rabbit starts bleeding if it tries to create more forcefully and now has the appearance of a regular rabbit.

*AUN! AUN! AUN! AUN! AUN!*

"THE MONKEYS HAVE BREACHED CONTAINMENT! ALL ON-SITE PERSONEL PLEASE HEAD TO THE MAMMAL'S AREA!" A robotic voice shouted over the alarm via intercom.

"I guess I should've replaced that glass with stronger material capable of defusing or spreading out physical force better…" Antoine muttered as he headed over to the rampaging monkeys.

He eventually came face to face with the group of troublemakers making a mess of the hallway and almost leaving the mammal area. One primate had bones projected outwardly from his body. The second one's skin was red and steaming. The third one had their arms disconnected but attached through lengthened connective tissue. The last one was capable of taking out its spine and having it regrow within seconds and was waving it around like a stick while beating anything near it.

"While I'm insanely happy at the number of various quirks I'm seeing, I'm not a fan of beating animals." He said with a hypocritical smile on his face as he headed towards the group of primates.

The monkeys started hooting and hollering before running towards Antoine ready to attack him together. The steaming monkey was much faster than the others and pounced at Antoine before he could even blink. He was tackled and taken to the ground as the monkey was about to start clawing his face.

"Oof. That speed was surprising…." Antoine muttered as he headbutted the monkey off of him and launched towards other monkeys.

Antoine then pulled out a black gun and fired at the pile of monkeys. A net shot out of the muzzle and entangled the creatures. Even with their quirks, the animals weren't capable of freeing themselves from the strengthened net and were soon sedated by the armed security androids in the lab.

"Hm.. well… it's time for crafting and science!!!" He shouted before getting to work.
