As I stood in the waiting area, my mind filled with anticipation and nerves, Principal Nezu approached me, a notepad in his hands and a polite smile on his face.

"Y/N, I'm curious. Which teacher would you like to face in your upcoming practical exam?" Nezu asked, his friendly gaze fixed upon me. I paused for a moment, contemplating my options before replying, "I've chosen Ectoplasm, Principal Nezu."

"Ah, an excellent choice! Ectoplasm's ability to create clones will surely put your skills to the test. I look forward to seeing your strategic approach in the battle." With his encouraging words lingering in the air, I prepared myself mentally for the forthcoming challenge. I took a deep breath in and out. The 5th match was now over, I was up next.

Suddenly, the speakers crackled to life, interrupting our conversation. The voice of the practical exam proctor, filled the room, capturing everyone's attention.

"Now, moving to the next match," His voice echoed. The words reverberated in my ears, and my heart rate quickened. The moment I had been preparing for was finally here. I gathered my focus, knowing that the exam would demand my utmost skill and attention. Something that I often never had.

"Kanbara Y/N against Ectoplasm!"

As I made my way to the designated area, the anticipation grew. Each step I took resonated with a sense of purpose and readiness. The doors closed behind me, sealing me within the arena's boundary. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation and nervousness.

With my heart pounding in my chest, I focused my thoughts on the upcoming battle. The time had come to demonstrate my abilities, outsmart Ectoplasm's clones, and emerge victorious. All for the sake of getting a juicy upgrade for my quirk. Amazing!

When the signal for the fight echoed through the arena, I steadied my breathing and centered my mind. The moment was at hand, and I was ready to showcase the full extent of my powers and tactics against Ectoplasm.

"The practical exam is about to begin! Ready, go!" The ground trembled beneath me, sending vibrations through my body as the once open arena transformed into a labyrinth. Towering walls rose up from the earth, enclosing the center in a claustrophobic embrace. The imposing structures stretched high into the sky, their intimidating presence casting elongated shadows across the maze's intricate paths.

The walls seemed to pulse with an eerie energy, their surfaces adorned with cryptic symbols and mysterious patterns.

My eyes scanned the area, searching for any signs of movement. I knew he was restricted to summoning a limited number of clones, no more than ten. This limitation worked in my favor, granting me an advantage in navigating the arena. The shifting architecture played tricks on my perception, distorting the distances and angles within the maze. The labyrinth's corridors twisted and turned, snaking in unpredictable patterns. It was loud.
