'Crap crap crap crap crap.....' Mina thought as she felt herself losing consciousness.

Her eyelids fluttered until they could no longer stay open.

"What a pity. That was far too nice of me, hm."Karma said deviously, with a dangerous smile on his face. Footsteps were coming again.

"Well well well, who's going to be the next victim?"

A boy let out a loud wail before falling at the hands of the redhead.

-------------------------

'Welp, that's definitely Karma's doing over there. What a pain..... I'll steer out of the way.'

Nagisa crouched down, playing with the leaves. Another thing he had discovered was that he could carry the device around, though its position projected on the map would change. It was quite interesting actually, seeing the surprised reactions of the crowd.

He finally settled down in one spot, and waited for Midnight and the others to come around. Despite what she had said, there were some that were still running, hoping to get a device last minute. After all, there weren't any rules on that.

He heard some rustling. Eyes glowing, he watched the bushes, then spun around him. A boy with a tail and blond hair approached him. Nagisa swung a knife at him, but it only grazed him. Clearly he was skilled in martial arts. His tail swung itself at his opponent, giving him a mid-range attack.

Nagisa was prepared, sliding the device into his pocket, His quick agility allowed him to dodge every attack. Ojiro, the foe, gritted his teeth.

'He's not trying at all.....'

No, he wasn't, and it was obvious. The bluenette's moves felt sluggish and unrefined, not breaking a sweat at the other. The heated battle went on for quite some time, until someone jumped between them.

"Midnight!" The two students said in unison.

"Heya! Times over! Nagisa, you have a device, congrats! Ojiro, better luck next time!"

------------------------------

"This is so boring."

Kamui Woods stared high from the trees, afar. He had approved 6 students already; quite the quick worker. Anyways, he saw nothing out of the ordinary, until he spotted a silver haired boy looking completely unfazed with bodies scattered around him. Four students to be exact, but whatever.

"What the actual-"

He closed his mouth before he could finish the sentence, and went down. The boy didn't notice him until he tapped him on the shoulders, asking him if he had the device. Kamui could feel the boy's eyes pierce into him.

'Wow.....what a strange boy.'

"Here you go, now can I leave the field?" Itona said, snapping the other out of his thoughts.

"Right right. Follow the path down there to the exit."

"Ok."

When he left, Kamui spent an entire moment helping the students on the floor and hoping to get some answers about what happened to them. They weren't ordinary students either. Two of them were members of Class 1-B, and one was a member of Class 1-A, Denki Kaminari. The other wasn't important.

"I dunno exactly what happened, but I tried to fight that dude, channeling electricity through the ground and his strings, but it didn't affect him at all. I spent a lot of time trying to get close to him, but in like, what, two seconds? He managed to just throw me and yeah." Denki explained frantically.

The others seemed to have similar experiences, attempting to use their quirk then completely defeated in a flash. The Pro Hero just nodded and stayed calm, but internally, he was extremely impressed.

'Taking them down like that so flawlessly. Hmm.....this is certainly a surprise. Even when I was a student I probably couldn't do that.'

Kamui went to look for more students, when he saw a girl barricaded by rocks. His instincts guided him down to help her.

'That's strange. I don't recall these pieces of rocks being around, or a student with rock powers as strong as this. That concrete guy wouldn't do it either.'

Seriously, what was it with getting the weirdest situations? He turned and asked the student, who was a female girl with long blonde hair.

"Yeah, uhm....actually that's my quirk. You see, I brought some rocks over from ruins and used them to make myself a strong barricade so no one could attack me or suspect someone in here unless they were above, which you were."

"Brought?" Kamui asked in question.

"My ability allows me to teleport one thing in exchange for something with the same value."

He nodded, and understood. That was pretty useful. 

"Yeah so I'm just going to head out. See ya! Oh here's my device by the way."

She plopped a nearly cracked box into his hand, and headed off.

-----------------------

"ONLY 16 OF YOU ALL MANGAGED TO CLAIM A DEVICE, WHICH MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO DO A ROUND TO ELIMINATE OTHERS."

"Eliminate others?" A student asked in question.

"Correct! Our final round will be.......ONE ON ONE MATCHES!"

There were mixed reactions from a the students. Some were happy because they could finally show dominance against other students in front of others. Some were nervous as heck. The audience of course, were very excited.

"This is going to be awesome!" Kayano happily jumped up and down.

"They really put something that's right up our alley." Nagisa smiled. 

The rest of the five already were thinking about how to win and what they could do to win. Class 1-A seemed to have a similar reaction, though they were more excited than calculated.

"For everyone who didn't pass the other rounds, we have prepared some special games and recreation for you all! Please follow Cementoss to the area."

Those students sulked, not making it into where they wanted to. Anyways, the screens turned black for a moment, but then lit up. Pairings were written on them, with the ones who had passed.

"OUR FIRST MATCH WILL BE...... KAYANO KAEDE OF THE TRANSFERS VERSUS IBARA SHIOZAKI OF CLASS 1-B!"
