4 Examination, Start!

As a U.A. High School that aims to train Pro Heroes, the school's campus is very large. Just following the signs to the assembly hall took quite a while.

Before coming here, Renault had also learned about the history of the U.A. High School. From the past to the present, countless Pro Heroes have emerged from here, but the number of students admitted each year is not large.

The Hero Department only admits two classes, with only 20 students per class. This means that each year's Hero Department at U.A. only has 40 students, and the rest are the Support Department, General Education Department, and so on. And almost all of the 40 or so Hero Department students in each class can graduate and become Pro Heroes who take on the responsibility of facing the public.

To sum up, the students admitted by U.A. High School are all exceptionally talented and outstanding in all aspects, receiving a complete elite education. As long as they can successfully enroll and work hard enough, becoming a Pro Hero is almost a sure thing.

However, Renault didn't think that education in U.A. would be that simple. On the contrary, the education here is likely to be hellish, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many famous and powerful Pro Heroes.

'But, such challenges are what make it interesting.'

As he waited for the start of the test, Renault also looked around and saw two familiar figures in the crowd. One was the hotheaded boy with tea-colored hair who was caught by the criminal in the previous incident. The other was the green-haired boy who seemed to have no Quirk but voluntarily rushed out to save people.

'Huh? The aura on that green-haired boy's body is many times steadier than last time. Did he go through serious training? His physique has also improved a lot. Even...'

Even made Renault feel a strange sensation.

This young man seems to have developed a Quirk. Is it possible to awaken a Quirk at this age? Without thinking too much, Renault shook his head. Anyway, he would be able to see it when the entrance exam began.

Picking up the explanation of the test content placed in front of each person, Renault looked at it and found that it was indeed a test of practical content, and it was conducted in groups because there were a lot of people taking the test. The test time is ten minutes, and many mechanical enemies will appear in each large examination area during this time, with a total of four types.

'So, the four robots have different scores after they are destroyed? And there is even one that gives zero points?' After Renault quickly looked over the content, he picked up his group number and was assigned to Group B.

At this time, a beam of light lit up on the stage in front of the lobby, and a rock-style man wearing leather and sporting straight hair that rose to the sky stood on the podium. He seemed to be the teacher who would explain the practical test this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my live broadcast today! Everybody says Hey!"

"..." There was silence on the scene.

Renault looked at the man on the podium, but he didn't feel like laughing. Those who could stand here were definitely teachers of the U.A., and they must be Pro Heroes, and they were also the kind of strong ones. However, Renault was more familiar with the heroes who ranked high on the rankings, and he didn't know this one very well. The only thing he could discern from his attire was that this hero should have a Quirk related to sound. After all, most Pro Heroes can intuitively identify the type of their Quirk.

"Wow, you guys are so boring..." The teacher didn't seem to care much about everyone's reactions and began to explain the content of the test, which was similar to what Renault had learned.

When it came to the mechanical "Villain Bots" that would appear in the practical test, one of the examinees in the audience raised his hand and stood up, loudly asking, "There are a total of four types of Villain Bots on the list. If there is an error in the recording, it would be a shame for Japan's number one hero school, I hope to get a full understanding in this regard! Also, over there."

As he spoke, the bespectacled male student looked towards the back, where Renault had seen the green-haired youth before. His face was serious as he said, "You've been muttering over there since just now, it's really too distracted! If you're here just to play around, please leave immediately!"

"Sorry..." Watching the interaction between the two, Renault raised his eyebrows.

They really had a meticulous personality here, it seemed that all sorts of people existed in this place. The teacher then went on to explain this issue. The reason why the fourth type of Villain Bot was worth zero points was that this enemy would only appear once in each practical test room, and its purpose was to disrupt the examinees. Even students on the scene would not be able to handle this type of enemy, so it was best to avoid it if encountered.

"That's all for my explanation. Finally, I'll give you our school motto. Napoleon Bonaparte once said, 'A true hero is the one who overcomes his misfortunes and rises above them. Go beyond, Plus Ultra!' Well, everyone, enjoy your hardships to the fullest!"

The test was about to begin. Sitting on the school bus, everyone was divided into groups and brought to the practical test area behind U.A. High School.

After getting off the car, Renault looked at the huge iron gate in front of him and knew that this was a large qualifying exam venue. He quickly glanced at the people in Group B and counted about 40 of them.

"The number of people is alright. Even though everyone should be able to pass, it's better to have a good score. Hm?"

Just then, a long-lost voice appeared in Renault's mind.

[Main task one released, Rank first in total score to be admitted to U.A. High School's Hero Department.

Task completion reward: Three lottery chances.]

As mentioned before, Renault also has a "golden finger," which is a system that randomly releases tasks and gives lottery chances. Although this system had helped Renault get something useful in the past, most of the rewards were small things with interesting backgrounds.

For example, the old-fashioned camera that Renault got at the school gate earlier:

[Kadoya Tsukasa's Camera. Although it has an old design, the color is trendy, the film is unlimited, and it is a must-have for traveling.]

Decade's camera, Renault quite liked it. It had a good grip and was also durable.

"Finally, the main quest has appeared. Three chances to draw a prize? Looks like I need to take it seriously and aim for first place."

In the final few minutes of waiting, Renault noticed that the green algae-headed boy and the bespectacled boy who asked a question at the briefing were also in Group B. However, Renault didn't pay attention to these two and just silently took out his camera and took a photo of the scene.

At the same time, in a room filled with display screens, several teachers were sitting here, waiting for the start of the practical test. All Might was also here, and a white mouse-like figure in a suit next to him asked, "Are you looking forward to something?"

"Looking forward to something? Isn't that obvious?"

All Might smiled and looked at the green algae-headed boy who appeared on the screen.

The practical test officially begins!
