Bab 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.

Bab 31: Slice Of Life Chapter!? And Plot Progression!?

*THE NEXT DAY*

Antoine barely made it to school on time after staying up all night. He accidentally skipped the opening ceremony before class. Thankfully no one managed to catch him and he made it into class without any being the wiser. Nothing in particular happened today in class except with Aizawa-sensei explaining about hero internships. Hero internships are basically hero activities done off-campus. A more formal and serious version of the field training done after the sports festival.

"WHAT WAS THE POINT OF TRYING SO HARD AT THE SPORTS FESTIVAL THEN!?"

"The hero internships are an opportunity for you to make use of the connections you made at the sports festival. They're not linked to classes at all, but rather managed at the discretion of students themselves. That being the case, if you made no such connections at the sports festival, I imagine it'd be very difficult to participate in such activities. In the past, each office would conduct their own recruiting efforts, but it often caused a lot of trouble because they would fight over U.A. students. And that's why it is the way it is now." Aizawa answered.

"Oh. I understand now.."

"Now Present Mic will be taking over for first period now." Aizawa said as he walked away with a very eager and loud Present Mic coming in.

The rest of the day was spent learning and soon school was over. Antoine, Toru, and Yuga were inside Toru's dorm room. Yuga was laying on the bed throwing some bandages in the air and catching it while Toru and Antoine were playing on her video game console.

"Hahahaahah how do you like you fucking noob!? Eat my fucking shotty bitch!" Antoine cackled into the gaming headset.

"Hehehe! You need to play better than that if you wanna kill me!" Toru giggled into the mic.

The two of them were playing an online first-person shooter and partied up to play against other players around the world. The two teams were separated into teams of 8 and currently Antoine was mvp for his team while Toru came a very close second behind him in terms of placement on the scoreboard.

"Fuck up noob! I facking eat your mother pussy! Mother bitch." An opposing player on the enemy team insulted.

Antoine had a wide grin on his face as he stared at the screen while moving his hands like a gaming legend.

"Maybe talk shit when you can get a kill you fucking 0-10 piece of shit!" Antoine responded back.

"Can you guys stop being so toxic…? It's just a game."

"SHUT UP NOOB! YOU SUCK DICK!" The foreign player from earlier cursed.

"YEAH SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE PUSSY BITCH! Ooh stop being toxic. Ooh my feeling are being hurt. Ooh I'm in need of a desperate cock in my ass." Antoine mocked his voice.

Toru was laughing her ass off as Antoine, the foreigner, and the "peacemaker" went back and forth all throughout the match.

"I'll just report and mute you guys… I don't know why I even bothered talking in the first place…" The Peacemaker said as he went silent.

"YOU ARE LITTLE BITCH! ONLY BITCH NOOB REPORT AND MUTE!" The Foreigner continued to yell with his low-quality mic.

"Yeah! Fucking do it you little pussy ass bitch! Run away and hide like you probably do in real life!" Antoine added on as the Peacemaker suddenly left the game.

It was at this point that Antoine, Toru, the Foreigner, and a few others inside the match laughed after realizing the Peacemaker left the server.

"AHAHAHAHAH THE MOTHER FUCKER QUIT!!! AND HE SAID I WAS TAKING THIS GAME TOO SERIOUSLY!!!" Antoine hollered over the mic.

"HAHAAHAHA!" Toru couldn't control herself either and started laughing over the mic as well.

Eventually Antoine's team won the match and he received a friend request from the Foreigner with the shitty mic. Of course, he accepted it and Antoine and Toru started looking for another lobby to join. After a couple of hours later, the two stopped playing video games and decided to go see a movie late at night with Yuga.

"I'm been wanting to see this movie for so long!" Toru said excitedly as the trio walked to the movie theaters.

"Yeah I can't believe we finally got around to get up and actually go see it." Yuga said.

"Well there's just so many great things to watch on NetFlex and other streaming programs like it." Antoine pointed out.

"Yeah that's true. But we need to get out more often though! Even though we're training to be heroes that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun and act our age at the same time!" Toru said as Antoine paid for their tickets for the movie and went inside the movie theater.

They had around half an hour before their movie started and decided to play a few of the arcade games to pass the time.

"Thanks for paying for us Antoine." Yuga said as he inserted a token into the air hockey machine.

"Yeah yeah. If you really wanna pay me back just hook me up with a fine little piece of ass alright?" Antoine responded putting in his own token into the machine.

The air hockey table whirred to life as Antoine and Yuga grabbed their strikers. Yuga placed the puck on the table. Toru was behind them playing one of those shooting arcade games where you shoot at aliens, dinosaurs, skeltons, or whatever creature the game was based on that jumped on the screen and came towards you. She held a large toy futuristic gun attached to the arcade machine while firing at whatever enemy appeared on the screen. Sometimes growling in anger when accidentally shooting friendlies that popped up on the screen.

"I don't think I could do that. Not to mention that I don't even know any girls really except for Toru!" Yuga said seriously as he knocked the puck forward.

"Come on Yuga! A handsome fit bastard like you has to have women just waiting in lines for ya. I definitely noticed some of the girls in class staring from time to time." Antoine smiled as he returned the puck back to Yuga.

"No way…" He answered back not believing it in the slightest. "Who..?" He asked after a few seconds.

Antoine grinned as Yuga's skill was decreasing the more he distracted the boy.

"I could name a few….." Antoine intentionally dragged on.

"Like who? There's no way one of the girls could be interested in me…" Yuga said still obviously very interested in which girl(s) were looking at him.

Antoine scored a point on the mentally distracted teen in puberty and soon the second round began.

"I mean…. I know for a fact that whatshername looks at you nearly every day in class. What was her name again…?" Antoine asked himself as he exaggeratedly strained to think of which girl it could've been.

Yuga would've figured out that Antoine was messing with him if he was in a better state of mind because both he and Toru know that Antoine doesn't forget anything and can recall any piece of information from his memory.

"Is it Ashido?! Asui!? Jiro? Or Yaoyorozu?!" He sprouted off as Antoine scored a second point on him. He slammed the puck on the table as Antoine continued to mess with him.

"Nhnnnn…" He groaned acting as if he didn't know which girl was which. "I think…. It was….." Antoine saw the puck coming towards him and Yuga's left side defense was completely open.

"URARAKA!!!!!!!!" Antoine shouted as he struck the puck as hard as he could into Yuga's open left side.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yuga yelled back as he returned Antoine's attack with a fierce counterattack.

The puck seemingly vanished as Yuga returned the shot and scored into Antoine's goal, making the score 2-1. Antoine looked on in disbelief and shock at the fact that Yuga managed to score a goal on him.

"Uraraka likes Midoriya!!! Now I know you're just messing with me!!" Yuga shouted as a fierce blue light of fire sparkled in his eyes, intent on gaining revenge on Antoine.

"Hey… wait a minute Yuga my best bud… my best pal…" Antoine tried to calm down the enraged boy whose had his feelings played with.

Antoine placed the puck on the table and hit it towards Yuga's side. Yuga seemingly uppercutted with his striker, struck the puck into Antoine's goal like a meteor crashing through the atmosphere. The table jingled as it tallied the score to 2-2 and Yuga's fighting spirit ablaze. Antoine realized it was do or die time. There was no way he was capable of taking the victory with Yuga in that state… Unless…

Antoine started lowly chuckling as he secretly buffed his muscles up without changing his outer appearance too much and placed the puck on the table and fired off towards Yuga's goal with a new found speed. Yuga returned the shot back towards Antoine and the two engaged in a high-speed game of air hockey.

*CLANG*

"I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD SINK SO LOW ANTOINE!" He hit the puck with enough force to cause the striker to crack.

"YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAR I WOULD GO TO WIN!!!!" Antoine responded back as he launched the puck so hard it seemingly vanished while his striker also cracked from the large amount of strength being used on it.

"YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT BUT THAT'S STILL A CRAPPY THING TO DO!!!!!" He returned the basically unseeable shot and caused his striker to crack even more. Most likely unable to handle another shot similar to that last one.

"YOU ARE TWO LIVES TOO LATE TO LECTURE ME ABOUT WHAT'S CRAPPY AND WHAT'S NOT!!!" He blasted the unbelievably fast puck back towards Yuga's goal and caused his striker to be on the verge of destruction.

"WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!!!!????"

"WHO KNOWS!?!?!!?!"

Yuga struck his striker against the puck and had it shatter from the impact. Antoine returned the puck back with a destructive counter and also had his striker crumble into pieces. However, the game wasn't over yet just because their pucks were destroyed. Yuga refused to be stand down over this, he will show Antoine the error of his ways by defeating him in this ARCADE SPORTS GAME! Yuga sent a right straight towards the incoming puck with just his fist and launched it towards Antoine.

"YOU FUCKING SPARKLING BASTARD!!!!!!!!" Antoine shouted in defeat as the puck struck against his chest and knocked him all the way into the opposite side of the room. His muscle quirk softened much of the blow against the wall for him but didn't lessen the blow of the huge defeat he suffered against Yuga.

He hung his head down in anger and regret.

'That desperate piece of shit….!' Antoine cursed as a hand suddenly appeared in front of his face.

Yuga stood over the downed Antoine with a relieved smile on his face and his hand held out.

"Let's go watch that movie now."

Antoine slapped his hand and got up.

"Yeah yeah whatever. You got lucky punk. I'll win next time." Antoine muttered before calling Toru over.

The three went to see their movie and left behind a few new marks at their local theatre. The remains of two red strikers, a missing puck, and an unbelievable new high score added to the Predators vs Unidentified Beings arcade game.

*THREE DAYS LATER*

Antoine was watching as his classmates faced off against the Big Three. Togata, the intangibility quirk guy with the vault guy face from that one game. Hado, the very blunt and endlessly curious girl with the shockwave quirk. And lastly the shy one, Amajiki, who could assimilate characteristics of whatever he has previously ate that's still in his system. Antoine wondered if he ate a human would he gain the ability to manifest a second brain, or heart, or limbs. It was a rather dark line of thinking but interesting nonetheless.

"Why aren't you two out there?" Aizawa asked.

"I haven't obtained my provisional license yet." Todoroki explained.

"I'm not getting my assed kicked. I haven't made something to counter that broken ass quirk without any gear on me." Antoine responded.

"You won't be able to prepare for everything out on the field Neil.." Aizawa told him.

"With enough experience I will. I mean after seeing Vault Boy over there, I now will have something to prepare for opponents who can phase through things." Antoine replied.

"What if you're in a position where you meet an opponent whose quirk you didn't prepare for?" Todoroki asked.

"It wouldn't matter. Unless they have reality-bending powers, time powers, or something like that, I can handle mostly anything that comes at me." Antoine said while to Aizawa and Todoroki it sounded like the bragging of an arrogant genius who hasn't been taught a lesson yet.

After Togata completely wiped out Class A, school continued on as normally and ended soon after. Antoine brought Toru and Yuga to his secret lab with a creepy grin on his face. He avoided any areas where his test subjects were and brought them to the area he wanted.

He evilly laughed as they arrived in a small white room.

"So. Yuga. Toru. What did you think of Vault Boy?"

"Vault Boy…?" Yuga asked confused.

"Oh my god he does look like him!!" Toru suddenly realized.

"Togata." Antoine clarified.

"He's really strong. Really strong…" Yuga said touching his bruised stomach.

"Yeah he's amazing! He worked so hard to become that strong! I'll have to step up on my training as well!" Toru decided, now motivated to work even harder.

"I'm glad you said that Toru! I've put together a training plan just for you two!! You see… Vault Boy is incredibly powerful but how is that..? His quirk just allows him to phase through things and become intangible. But why was he strong enough to incapacitate both Midoriya and his superpower quirk and a hardened Kirishima with just his bare fist? That's because... OF ALL MIGHT'S PREVIOUS SIDEKICK!! Sir Nighteye composed an inhumane training regimen for Mirio and allowed him to gain his inhuman body, prediction skills, and vast mastery over his quirk." Antoine explained in a grandly excited manner.

"Wow… I guess anyone that's involved with All Might has to be impressive.." Toru commented.

"Are you planning on having us on a training plan that's similar to Mirio's training?" Yuga asked.

"CORRECT A MUNDO!!!! I've recently devised a serum that will completely heal any damages to the body as long as the drinker has enough energy. Somewhat like Recovery Girl's quirk but without the threat of death. If you don't have enough energy, the serum will simply not work and your body won't be healed. I will be using this serum and giving it to you two after a long intense and terrible training session that will break your body and possibly mind apart. But that's if you two even want to try it out."

Toru and Yuga looked at each other for a second and then looked back at Antoine.

"Well of course we'll do it!" Toru replied.

"You won't catch me missing any chance of getting stronger!" Yuga answered.

"Fantastic!!! I'll turn you both into superhuman capable of punching through steel itself, running faster than people with speed quirks, and tough enough to withstand the weight of buildings! The limits of the human body are meant to be broken and overcame!!! THROUGH SCIENCE AND WILLPOWER!!!!!"

"WILLPOWER!!!!!!!" Toru and Yuga shouted along with him just as excited.

So, Antoine had the two begin their insane training programs as multiple androids scanned their vitals and bodies amidst their training. If any signs of danger is present the training will be stopped and the medical androids dressed in pink would take care of them till they recovered enough to start the training again. They were nicknamed Nurse J and all looked very similar to each other, as if sisters.

It was nearing nighttime and Antoine had the two stop. Toru and Yuga dropped to the ground unable to move a single muscle as Antoine fed them the serum. Their bodies twitched and spasmed in an unnatural manner for a few seconds after swallowing the bright blue serum and soon they were capable of moving again.

*ROARRRRRRRR*

Their stomachs growled with the intensity of a starving dragon and their eyes turned red.

"FOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!" They demanded.

Antoine led them to a large table filled with various foods. All the food were all part of a proper balanced diet with no unnecessary or unhealthy food added in the mix. Drool flowed out of their mouths like a waterfall before they pounced on the food like starving lions.

Antoine laughed as he went into the kitchen.

"I guess making this bad boy wasn't a waste of time after all." He slapped the stove as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

Antoine returned back into the makeshift dining room and saw a huge bellied Toru and Yuga lying on the middle of the table. They had a perpetual smile on their face as they rolled around like pigs. All the food was gone or reduced to the parts you don't eat.

"That was the greatest food I've ever tasted….." Toru said aloud.

"Who made those heavenly delicacies….? It's a chef d'œuvre.." Yuga commented.

"A training plan is nothing without a balanced and proper diet. But everyone knows that eating tasty food is way more important than a crummy diet. That's why I've made the best of the best for my best friends in the whole world! Both healthy and tasty!"

"I love you Antoine…." Toru rolled onto the floor with a bounce.

"Marry us…." Yuga said holding his stomach in a blissful manner.

"Yeah yeah I'm the best in the world I know. Come on you two. We need to get back to the dorms." Antoine said rolling them out of his secret lab and onto the streets. He grabbed two gliders on his way out and gave them to Toru and Yuga as all three of them flew back towards the dorms.

"Whoa…! How do I control this thing?!" Yuga asked flying clumsily and trying to gain his balance.

"Use your feet to direct it, lean your body forward, and that's it. You won't fall because your feet are strapped in." Antoine told him as Toru was flying circles around the two screaming in joy.

"WHOO HOOO!!!!!"

Eventually the trio made it back to the dorms and fell asleep soon after since they had classes in the morning.

*A FEW DAYS LATER*

Antoine applied to intern with Fat Gum along with Kirishima. Amajiki brought them to Fat Gum and he accepted the two boys quite easily. There wasn't a test or anything like that necessary. So, Antoine was quite elated at being accepted by the hero despite his hidden objective for even applying with the hero. The group was currently patrolling outside.

"These days all the hoodlums and delinquents have been getting into so many fights!!" Fat Gum stated while eating a whole tray of takoyaki.

"Anyway, the hero office here doesn't really like to take up arms. You two are in the right place." He told Kirishima and Antoine.

"Looking forward to it!!!" Kirishima responded enthusiastically.

"Sounds good to me." Antoine responded.

"If only you went after Mirio or Nejire… the way you came after me so forcefully was scary." Amajiki commented about Kirishima.

Antoine offered the boy a meal at a local joint to be introduced to Fat Gum's agency and couldn't say no after being pressured by Antoine's shameless personality.

"Tamaki, we've got to do something about that cruddy mentality of yours. You've got so much talent too!!" Fat Gum pointed out.

"That kind of pressure will only bring me down further." He retorted.

The group continued their patrol until a civilian shouted out for help. There was a fight nearby and the group dashed over to find out what was happening. The group responsible for making the trouble ran straight into the hero group and were swiftly taken down. Antoine searched and found the guy who was going to shoot shy senpai with the bullet that temporarily stops the use of quirks. He ran towards the shooter who had the gun. One of his tentacles caught the bullet as Antoine chased after the frightened criminal.

"GET AWAY!! I SAID DON' FOLLOW ME!!" He shouted while running to a dead end.

"Don't fucking shoot and run you pussy. I ain't gonna hurt ya much!" Antoine chuckled as he cornered the man.

The criminal realized he had no way out and sprouted three small blades along his forearm. He attempted to slice Antoine's throat but was kicked in the stomach before he could. Antoine crossed his arms with an evil smile on his face.

"It's not fair… I only pop out 10cm or shorter blades ya know… That's like a cutter knife… so unfair.." He sobbed. "I jus' wanted ta save mah friends. I'm so stupid! But it's so scary..! Yeh should praise me for bein' brave enough to pull the trigger..!"

A few seconds of silence passed by.

"Are you fucking retarded? Who would praise a gunman for shooting his gun? In what world does that make sense ya fucking idiot!?" Antoine mercilessly berated as his tentacles held down the criminal's arms and legs while his searching for the treasure he's been looking for this entire time. Eventually he found it on the inside of the villain's shirt pocket and stuffed it into his inventory before any civilians could see him pocketing something.

"NO!! GIVE THAT BACK!!! IT'S MINE!!!" He cried out deliriously before being punched in the stomach by Antoine's tentacle and fainting afterwards.

"Did you all enjoy the show?" Antoine asked turning around with a satisfied smile on his face.

The people in the alleyway started clapping and cheering for him.

"Thanks kid!"

"Nice going man!"

"What's your name!?"

"The Ultimate Craftsman. The future #1 Pro Hero!" He responded as he handcuffed the criminal's hands and legs while covering his mouth close with a strange piece of silver tape.. He had one of his tentacles carry him as he returned back to his group.

'I might have to help Kirishima unlock his second form after taking away his plot powerup… Or he'll be useless in the upcoming raid on Overhaul.' Antoine thought before sighing. 'Fine I guess I'll help him at least gain the form.. But after that he'll have to train on his own. This is only because he helped me gain the hint to evolving or at the very least upgrading quirks for my own.'

Antoine returned to Fat Gum and the other two with the criminal in hand.

"Wow! I'm impressed Craftsman! You took down the villain, saved Tamaki from being shot, and helped all those people without a single injury or problem. Those little octopus arms of yours are really cool." Fat Gum complimented.

"Yeah Neil you were awesome! You went straight towards that shooter like a madman! I swear I even thought you were smiling when you went after him!" Kirishima pointed out.

'Was I really smiling…?' Antoine thought back unsure.

"Such a terrible showing… What kind of senpai am I?" Amajiki said sullenly.

"Don't think too much on it senpai. We all get lucky sometimes and I guess it was just my turn to be lucky." Antoine comforted him.

The group then headed back to the office and separated for the day.
