"Now, where are those robots."
Standing atop a tall building, Hiro's gaze swept past the city.
In his mind, a 3D image of the area quickly formed, along with the current location of the other examinees and some of the robots.
The time for the test was only 10 minutes. Randomly running around was just plain inefficient. Instead, he wanted a route with fewer examinees and more robots present.
"These robots are so fragile it's like they're made out of cardboards. I don't even need to use any techniques, just my basic strength is enough."
Hiro mused. On the way here, he encountered the three types of robots and took care of them all with a casual tap.
However, it was understandable. After all, this exam was designed to be doable even by someone like Toru who just had a metal bat.
Meanwhile, his body that originated from One Punch Man has already been trained to its limit with the assistance of Bang and his own Quirk. Except for All Might, he was confident that his physique was stronger than anyone else in this world.
He rushed to the area he chose with a single leap, appearing before a 3 pointer robot and disabling it with a jab to its laser eyes.
Then, without stopping, he swiftly ran through the route he had conceived. His figure was like a rushing river, clearing all the robots along the way.
At the same time, he also didn't forget to listen to any screams of distress. If the sound was close to his current location, he's take a brief detour to help those examinees.
This not only netted him hero points, but the robots that were attacking those examinees also helped him rack up more points.
As he saved a random examinee who was being ganged up on by a group of 1 pointer, Hiro wondered why Midoriya couldn't even take down a single robot during this part of the exam.
Ultimately, it should be because of his confusion on how to use his new Quirk. Every time he found a robot, he'd freeze up trying to activate it. In the end, that robot would be snatched away by the other examinees.
He mused. If Midoriya failed the Entrance Exam, would All Might also not teach at UA?
But thinking about it, that's impossible.
Nezu knew about OFA. As long as All Might tells him that Midoriya was its current wielder, it was impossible that rodent would let him go.
After all, OFA is one of the strongest Quirks in the world. All Might, even with a weakened strength, can still change the weather with just the force of his punch. Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't let a guy who had that kind power go unrestrained.
Even he was very greedy for that Quirk. If he hadn't awakened Biokinesis, he would have likely spent the last couple of years acting out as the most perfect hero in front of All Might- to be selected as his successor.
But there was no if. Although OFA is strong, it's not like he can't get the same strength in other worlds. He had only planned to use OFA as a foundation to quickly get stronger, but the Quirk he naturally awakened was more suitable for him. Therefore, there was no need to go through all that trouble.
The only drawback is that he wouldn't be able to reach All Might's level of power in this world. Purely in terms of destructive power, of course.
In a fight between the two of them, he was confident he wouldn't lose. The Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist that he learned was just the greatest counter against an enemy like All Might.
As long as the body is able to withstand the residual force of the attack and sufficiently react, this martial art could redirect any attack with twice the power.
And Hiro, by instilling and engraving the corresponding muscle memory with his Quirk, had already learned everything Bang taught about this martial art.
Only his lack of combat experience and slightly weaker base physique separated him from his sensei.

Inside the monitoring room, a group of teachers and the principal were gathered together, watching the performance of their potential students.
"This year's quite the harvest, huh? Especially that white-haired kid, his villain points are already about to break through the three digits."
A hero wearing a cowboy hat idly commented while staring at the countless screens.
Three screens in particular were his main focus of attention. One showing a powerful white-haired kid. Another, an explosive blond kid. And last was the younger brother of Ingenium. These three currently had the highest villain points.
"Indeed. Their youthful endeavor just turns me on~ I can't wait to start teaching them their…lesson."
A woman in a leotard said while licking her lips. The other teachers ignored her, already used to her ambiguous choice of words.
"What do you think of your future students, Aizawa? Much better than the ones you expelled last year?"
Present Mic teased a scruffy looking man next to him. Aizawa ignored him, instead turning to the white rodent that sat at the center of the table.
"Principal Nezu, it's about time, isn't it?"
"Hohoho, is it? Well then, let us see how our future heroes would fare against that thing."
With that, Nezu pressed a red button in front of him. Suddenly, in each of the exam venues, a robot towering higher than all other buildings awakened.
On the screen, looks of horror flashed across the examinees' faces. The zero-pointer robot began its rampage, destroying the buildings and sending large chunks of stone flying all across the air.
"An enemy they have no incentive to defeat. A monster that can crush them with a single stomp. Faced with such a foe, people begin to show their true colors."
All the students in every exam venue began running away from the robot.
Shoving and pushing occurred as the zero-pointer squeezed their area of activity. Cries for help by those injured by the rubble sounded. With the time left getting lower and lower, the intensity of the competition for the points increased.
Amidst this chaos, the teachers noticed a peculiar scene.
On exam venue H, a white haired teenager with his hands in his pants walked in an opposite direction. He had a curious look in his eyes as he gazed upwards, staring at the approaching robot.
"Hey, hey. Don't tell me…does he want to take on the zero-pointer?"
"Now there's a good show to watch."
"He's the kid with the highest villain points, right? Hiro Ryugamine? Hmm, is this arrogance? Or does he really have that capability?"
The teachers focused on the white-haired boy on screen. Some of them wondered whether he could contend against the zero pointer. Others mused if they would have a new student that could take down this robot.
None of them were worried for Hiro's safety. One factor was their trust in the Principal's programming. The other was due to what they'd seen, though briefly, of the boy's previous battles.
Among all the examinees, the speed and agility Hiro's shown is the fastest by a large margin. Against the strong but slow zero-pointer, dodging its attack should be a breeze.
However, the next scene made their hearts leap to their throat.
The zero-pointer, having detected the human standing before it, mechanically raised its arms and then slammed it down with a huge force.
However, Hiro didn't move. His body was frozen, as if scared silly.
The arm slammed down. The road collapsed and nearby buildings toppled over due to the impact of the slam.
"Damn it! That kid's gonna give me a heart attack. What a reckless way of fighting!"
Power Loader cursed. He didn't know what the kid was thinking. He only jumped out of the way at the last moment, and now landed on top of the robot's fist.
The other teachers also cursed inwardly. Having not known anything much about Hiro, they really thought he froze in fright.
However, they didn't have time to further discuss this topic. At this moment, their attention was glued to the troublesome young man who was running up across the zero-pointer's arms.
The white-haired teenager reached the robot's shoulders in just a moment. Then…he jumped and kicked its head.

At venue H, the examinees noticed something amiss. Why did it suddenly become so silent?
They looked back to check, only to drop their jaws in disbelief. The zero pointer, the unbeatable robot that they were supposed to run away from, was now missing a head. And in its place, there sat a disappointed looking guy.
