The students of Class 1A stood on the field with their eyes focused on Midnight as she took center stage with her whip in hand and a confident smirk on her face.

Midnight raised her hand, signaling for the crowd to quiet down. The arena fell into an eager hush, everyone waiting to hear the details of the next challenge.

"Alright, everyone!" Midnight's voice echoed through the stadium. "Our next event is something special, borrowed all the way from I-Island!" She paused for effect, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I give you—Robot Mountain!"

A large platform in the middle of the field began to rise, revealing a towering, artificial mountain covered in rugged terrain, metallic structures, and positioned at strategic points were various types of robots. Some were large and hulking, while others were sleek and fast, each designed to test different aspects of the students' abilities.

"The rules are simple. This mountain is filled with robots, each programmed to engage you in combat. Your goal is to defeat them all and reach the top of the mountain. But there's a catch!" She pointed to the scoreboard that had just lit up. "This event is all about speed! The fastest time to clear the mountain and defeat all the robots wins!"

The students exchanged glances, some excited, others more cautious.

"Each of you will take your turn to climb Robot Mountain," Midnight explained, her tone serious now. "The clock starts the moment you step onto the first platform, and it stops when you defeat the last robot at the summit. The score will be based on the time it takes you to complete the challenge. The lower your time, the higher your rank."

She looked over the students, pausing to let the rules sink in. "But be warned, these robots aren't just for show. They're equipped with various weapons and defenses, so you'll need to stay on your toes and use all of your skills to succeed."

Midnight smiled mischievously. "And remember, the fastest time isn't just about raw speed—it's about strategy, precision, and making the most of your quirks. So, who will conquer Robot Mountain and prove they're the best? Let's find out!"

The students nodded, determination settling into their expressions as they prepared for the challenge ahead. The air was thick with anticipation as Midnight gestured towards the first platform.

"Let's begin!"

{Gonna Skip to Izuku}

"And finally, best for last. Izuku Midoriya! Show us what you've got!" As Izuku Midoriya stood on the starting platform, the entire stadium fell into a hushed silence.

His classmates watched with a mix of awe and anticipation, fully aware that they were about to witness something extraordinary. Despite being quirkless, Izuku had transformed himself into a living embodiment of strength, whose physical abilities far surpassed even the most powerful quirk users.

Midnight, standing off to the side, gave him a nod of encouragement, though even she was curious to see how Izuku would approach the challenge ahead.

Midnight's voice echoed through the stadium as she begins the count down. "Ready... set... go!"

In the blink of an eye, Izuku was gone.

To the untrained eye, it appeared as if he had simply vanished, but to those with sharp senses, they saw a blur as Izuku moved at incomprehensible speed.

The first wave of robots—massive, hulking machines equipped with heavy artillery—barely had time to register his presence before they were obliterated. A single punch from Izuku sent shockwaves through the mountain, the force of his strike reducing the robots to scrap metal in an instant.

But Izuku didn't stop. He sprinted up the mountain, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Robots designed to counter speed-type quirks fired energy beams and missiles at him, but they might as well have been standing still. With a single leap, he cleared half the mountain, landing with such force that the ground beneath him cracked and shifted.

The next wave of robots, faster and more agile than the last, attempted to swarm him from all directions, but Izuku was already in motion. His fists and feet became blurs of movement as he struck down each robot with his blows generating shockwaves that echoed across the entire stadium.

In the final stretch, the summit of the mountain was guarded by a cluster of the most advanced robots—heavily armored and equipped with powerful energy shields.

These were designed to withstand even the strongest attacks, but they were no match for Izuku. He launched himself at the summit, moving at a speed that defied comprehension. His fists collided with the energy shields, and for a moment, the air around them seemed to warp and bend under the immense pressure.

Then, with a deafening roar, the shields shattered, and the robots exploded simultaneously, unable to withstand the sheer force of Izuku's onslaught. The explosion sent a shockwave across the stadium, but Izuku remained unharmed.

The entire mountain—robots, terrain, and all—had been cleared in less than a second.

After a solid 5 minutes of utter silence the stadium erupted into wild cheers. The students of Class 1A were left speechless, their eyes wide with astonishment at what they had just witnessed. Even the teachers, who had seen countless displays of power, were taken aback by the sheer scale of Izuku's abilities, despite USJ.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we can all agree that Izuku Midoriya has set a new standard for heroism. In a display of pure strength and speed, he has conquered Robot Mountain in a way that none of us could have imagined!"
