The rules explained during orientation was simple enough to Gohan. Every person has three target placed in exposed areas that the students will have to hit utilizing the six balls supplied to them. Not even moments later, the entirety of the building opened into a massive field. Everybody dispersed in the matter of seconds, and Midoriya was the first to speak up. "Everyone, stay close together, we'll fight them as a group!"

Although he earned acknowledgement from the majority of the class, there were a few who declined his strategy. "Yeah, right. This isn't a field trip!" Bakugo growled before stomping away, followed by Kirishima and Kaminari.

"I'm going on my own, too. It's hard for me to use my power when there's a big group around." Todoroki told the group before leaving.

"I'm heading out, too." Gohan stated before taking off into the air.

"Even you, Gohan!?" Midoriya called out to him.

"We all know I'll be fine alone. You guys will never get stronger if you hide behind me all the time." He told them before giving a thumbs up. He flew off towards the lake area nearby in order to separate himself from everyone else.

"Uh. It looks like all of the students are still in a stalemate. Not a single one has passed. I'll be here to keep you updated." Everyone heard.

Gohan descended just above the water, closing his eyes. In there area were hundreds of people, and as he descended, all eyes were on him. Time seemed to slow down. His eyes opening slowly, a collection of close to a thousands balls rained down towards him. With a deep breath, his arms shot out and he cried out, sending his Ki out in all directions and pushing the hail of orange outward.

"What's with this guy!?" A male student shouted, scrambling to get away.

"Is he some kind of monster?!" Another female student followed.

"Oh, it looks like somebody decided to perk up and pass... WHAA- WHAT?! THERE WERE 347 PEOPLE TAKEN DOWN IN TWO SEPARATE SPOTS ALL AT ONCE!?" Gohan heard the man announce, his previously tired voice now full of excitement. "That actually surprised so much that I'm wide awake! I assume we'll see a lot of people passing from now on, so let's get this out the way so I can take a break!"

Gohan's targets, placed on the front, side, and back of his left shoulder, lit up with a light blue. "Students who have passed should congregate in the Ante Room. Chop chop!" He heard from his targets.

After several minutes of attempting to find the Ante Room, he had finally succeeded and entered through the doorway on the side of the arena. The only person in the room beside himself was the young man from his class's earlier encounter. "Hey!" Gohan called out as he approached him. "You're...Inasa Yoarashi, aren't you?" he asked as the large student looked down upon him. "My name is Gohan Son, from UA High. I wanted to say congratulations on passing." Gohan told him.

"Your Eyes! Within Them I Can See A Burning Passion Ignited In Every Fight! I Am Very Honored To Receive Such Kind Words From One Of UA's Top Students!" He shouted, slamming his head into the ground with another bow.

With a nervous laugh, Gohan scratched the back of his head. "Hehehe, yeah..." As their 'conversation' was coming to an end, more students began to enter the Ante Room, taking Yoarashi's attention off of Gohan. Having been one of the few people to have already passed, one of seven now, in fact, Gohan took a seat on a nearby bench and allowed himself to fall into a light slumber.

A dark fog fell over Gohan's mind. Why is everything so cloudy... I can barely see anything... His eyes squinted in an attempt to clearly see through the fog.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice. "Gohan!"

Mom-! Gohan opened his mouth to cry out, but no words came out. A faint image of his mother, just beyond the fog, was being dragged further into the darkness. He reached out his hand, but he couldn't move his legs.
