5 First? It's Not That Hard

The iron door slowly opened, and the ten-minute countdown began. Renault did not hesitate to activate his ability and rushed to the front of everyone, entering the exam site.

"The site is bigger than I expected, and we only have ten minutes?" Renault thought to himself. He didn't blindly rush in but went up to the top of a building to observe.

As expected, after all the candidates entered, there were automatic robots painted in military green appearing in various places in the exam room, which were the Villain Bots mentioned earlier.

"There are one-point, two-point, and three-point robots. So that means zero-point robots won't appear this early, right? Let's try the strength of the three-point robot first."

Renault locked onto a three-point villain bot that was far from him and controlled the air around his body, rushing toward the target. Without any techniques, just using reflection to cover his whole body, Renault kicked the villain bot, which had raised two shields in front of him, straight through.

Then, Renault tried the one-point and two-point villain bots and reached a conclusion. The difference in scores between the three types of villain bots was mainly reflected in their armament and reaction speed. There was not much difference in armor strength.

"Well, do we need to be wary of the zero-point villain bot? But before that, let's score enough points first. With the current consumption, ten minutes are more than enough."

After thinking it over, Renault dodged to the side and then placed his hand on the mechanical front paw of the villain bot. Instantly, the current inside the machine went out of control, and the entire machine became scrap, with smoke coming out of its joints.

"Okay, let's go find the next one."

All the situations in the exam room were captured by cameras placed in various concealed corners. Renault's performance naturally fell into the eyes of all the examiners.

"The ability of this examinee is quite special, isn't it? Have you noticed it?"

"Previously, he was able to fly and even directly penetrate the villain bot. Now, he can make the villain bot stop just by lifting his hand. It's hard to guess based on speculation alone."

After hearing what the others said, the old mouse person sitting with All Might operated a keyboard beside him. Then, on a screen in front of them, appeared a photo of and information about a person named Renault.

"Renault, 15 years old, Quirk, Vector Manipulation. Vector? That's really outstanding talent. It seems that this young man can enter Class A. All Might, what do you think?"

"I have seen this young man once before. He seemed very calm in this kind of situation as if he had a lot of combat experience. So, I later investigated some of his information. He is an orphan who was adopted, but the elderly couple who adopted him also passed away several years ago. Besides a few fights with gangsters, he shouldn't have this kind of combat experience."

"Do you think he has a problem?"

"No, everyone has their own secrets, and I can understand this. Through my contact with him, I can tell that he doesn't have any problems and can be trusted."

Looking at the confident All Might, the old mouse nodded. "Since you say so, I can rest assured."

"As the principal, directly listening to my words, isn't it too careless?"

"Who told you to be the No.1 Hero? Besides, I will investigate everyone's information again. With such abilities and mentality, we must keep him in U.A. High School. He will definitely become a top hero in the future."

Looking at Renault, who was steadily ranked first on the scoreboard, the old mouse said with a smile, "There are so many good seedlings this year."

Speaking of this, All Might's face also lit up with a smile. "Are you talking about this year's recommended students?"

"Yes, one is the No. 2's son, and the other is an outstanding girl from Yaoyorozu family. Together with those selected in this exam, the Hero Department this year may be the best group in recent years."

Just as they were talking, a giant machine appeared on the screen.

The 0-point fourth-category villain bot that was mentioned before has appeared.

Renault, who was paying attention to the battle situation of everyone present, knew that he was already far ahead in points, so he also slowed down his speed.

At this time, when he saw the huge figure in the distance, he also became interested. However, just as Renault was preparing to go over, a figure shot up into the sky.

"Hmm? Is that the boy? His name...Midoriya Izuku, right, and that power..."

Stopping his movements, Renault looked at Midoriya Izuku, who was flying into the air and clenching his fists, with a frown on his face.

Previously, he had been suspecting whether Midoriya Izuku had awakened his Quirk, and now it seemed to be the case. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Quirk, but a kind of explosive power Quirk.

In the blink of an eye, with just one punch, the huge villain bot's outer armor on its head was shattered, and it fell backward to the ground.

At this moment, Renault also saw that Midoriya Izuku's right hand and legs had become twisted.

"The reactive force is so strong? Is it not fully mastered? But, how could this be?"

Renault's interest in Midoriya Izuku's Quirk grew more and more. As for whether Midoriya Izuku, who lost his balance in the air, would be injured after falling, Renault was not worried. He had already seen that there was a girl with a gravity-type Quirk below, who had raised her hands towards Midoriya Izuku as he fell.

Midoriya Izuku landed safely. However, based on his appearance, he was unable to continue with the exam or even move. The ten-minute exam time had also ended here. When the time was up, Renault didn't linger and went straight to the exit.

As for Midoriya Izuku's injury? Renault didn't care at all. This kind of thing could be easily resolved in U.A. High School, otherwise, they wouldn't have had the courage to arrange this kind of exam content.

Back at home, Renault went directly to the basement and started today's training. He obtained this training room by lottery through the system before. Besides daily training, there were also various battle stages. Every time he passed a level, he would receive a reward. However, Renault had only passed the first level so far, and he had not succeeded in the second level yet.

One week later, a letter arrived at Renault's house, which was his entrance exam result for U.A. High School. Renault had secured first place, successfully entering the Hero Department at U.A. High School.
