Endeavor charged at me with a flaming fists and I thought to myself that Ace had way more powerful flames than him. If Endeavor had eaten a flame Akuma no Mi then his would be a Paramecia compared to Ace's Logia because Endeavor is still hittable without Haki. I just hope he knows his quirk better than anyone else before I hurt him too badly. Although his quirk is simple and strong, it has many weaknesses.
Endeavor: Flashflare Fist!
While Endeavor was using his signature technique I flashed in front of him before he could reach me, grabbed his fist and watched as the flames bypassed through my fingers into the surrounding area. When the technique was over I looked at my hand and saw no signs of burning, just a slight temperature change. Quite a disappointment compared to Akainu and Ace. Even though they were literally made of lava and Fire but couldn't burn me, even I felt the heat or their power. Endeavor on the other hand must be utilizing his quirk at lower temperatures considering if he gets too hot he can't fight.
Sage: Please tell that this is not the extent of your power.
Endeavor: (While visibly shaken) Not by a long shot.
I let go of Endeavors hand and he stepped back. While cocking his left fist back, he used another technique, Ignited Arrow, but it did little to no damage. He merely used it to draw my attention from his other hand which was powering up for another attack.
Endeavor: Vanishing Fist!
Endeavor closed the already short distance between us and launched his attack but it hit an afterimage.
Sage: (Behind him) Hey, nice attack. Fast and furious but too easy to see. (Hand on chin) Maybe it's too slow for me but it might be fast enough for everyone else.
Endeavor grinded his teeth as he sent a flurry of attacks toward me. He started to turn his heat up but he kept it at a controlled pace. Even though he is angry, he still kept his cool. I know that Endevour may be immune to other flames but, what about energy blasts?
Sage: Catch.
I blasted him with small blasts at first to see how much he can take. Unfortunately he couldn't handle much and used his flames to block them. He had to block them because the blasts that I fired were locked on him.
Sage: Can you handle more?
Endeavor: (Breathing heavy) These little attacks won't stop me.
From his labored breathing, Endeavor doesn't have much left. Considering his will power though, he might try to power through.
Endeavor: Raging Assault- Hell Minefield!
I smiled as I knew he was still trying after fully knowing that he couldn't win. I didn't smile to taunt or belittle but out of respect. He knew he was no match but continued anyway.
Sage: Good, come at me because you won't walk out of here unscathed if you go soft. (Hand signs) Doton: Chidokaku! (Earth Release: Moving Earth Core!)
I limited the size of the technique to an extreme amount because I didn't want to cause the Earths tectonic plates to shift. The amount I used was enough to cover the entire field and I only used it to extinguish his Minefield of flames. After a slight Earthquake the flames that Endeavor used in the ground were gone.
Endeavor: Fine. TAKE THIS IF YOU CAN!!! PROMINENCE BURN!!!
At the student stands.
Shoto: WHAT!?! He's using that technique!!
Back on the field.
Sage: If this is your last hurrah, how can I not accept the challenge?
I used an energy beam to combat his technique until he ran out of power and overwhelmed his technique to hit him. After the light of my beam died out, Endeavor was on the ground gasping for air, hero uniform in rags and multiple wounds on his body. The medical team was already on the way to pick him up.
Sage: Did you have fun?
Endeavor: Who…who are you?
Sage: You came here without knowing or were you just bored and thought that this exhibition would be fun?
Endeavor: To think that there was someone stronger than All Might all this time. Guess that makes me number 3.
Sage: Don't take it too hard. I could care less about the rankings since I'm not gonna be here for long.
I looked at Principal Nezu and gave him the go ahead to call out to the students.
P. Nezu: WHAT AN EXCITING MATCH!!! NOW, BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT, DO ANY OF THE STUDENTS WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN TAKING SAGE-SENSEI'S CHALLENGE? ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GET AS CLOSE TO HIM AS YOU CAN AND TRY TO TOUCH HIM. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO TOUCH HIM, YOU WILL A FULL GRADE FOR THE SEMESTER!! IF YOU ARE ALREADY PASSING THE SEMESTER, THEN YOU WILL BE SKIPPED A GRADE!!
Students: WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?
Random Student 1: Hell yeah! I've been failing a few classes, this will definitely help me.
R. Student 2: Yes, now I can be on the same level as the Big Three!
At the Class A stands.
Tsuyu: Do you think this will be as easy as the Principal makes it sound?
Bakugou: Fuck no! That rat wouldn't make it so easy.
Midoriya: I wouldn't be surprised if Sage-sensei didn't even let us breathe the moment we touch the field. But I am still going for it.
The rest of the students: YEAH!!
The students that were too afraid of what they saw earlier were the only ones not on the field, other then that the majority of the student body stood at the edge of the field. Of course I would not make it easy for them, but I also made sure to make it non-lethal. The initial entrance of the field made sure to add pressure to those who enter. The farther they can get to me the more pressure, gravity and lack of air will increase. Unless they had the willpower and strength, none would be able to reach me. The only one that can get close would be Midoriya but only if he has the will.
R. Student 3: What the hell!! I only took five steps in and I can barely stand.
Sage: What's wrong? Is that as far as your willpower goes? Come! Get up! Run, walk, limp, crawl and drag yourself to me! Prove to me you deserve to be here. Prove to yourself that the training you have endured, the books that you've read and the experiences you have encountered were not in vain and wasted on you.
Bakugou: Dammit! Is he going to goad the entire time?!
Ida: Press on. Izuku-kun has already reached half way there.
Bakugou: FUCKING NERD!!!!
Tsuyu: I knew that it wouldn't be easy, but we haven't passed 25 feet and there other from our class that can't get closer.
The students pushed through but were ultimately stopped and reached their limit. From the Big Three, Mirio Togata was the only other person that made a good effort by getting close but fell short when he felt his breath leave him the moment he got close. Midoriya was forced to use his full strength but realized that there was no way he would've made it to me when he reach ten feet of me. He realized that I made it impossible to reach me in the first place and that whole purpose of the trial was to not only strengthen our bodies and minds but to also enforce our resolve to become heroes.
