A Different Path.

Round One - Obstacle Course.

"Demolition Burst!" Kachan yelled, launching a single, yet massive blast with both hands.

The explosion tore through the chest of the first Zero-Pointer, as if it was made out of paper. The machine collapsed in on itself, miniature explosions going off as it self-destructed.

"Shrink." Yui Kodai muttered, using her Quirk to simply shrink a Zero-Pointer as well as a couple Three-Pointers. She then pocketed these robots and kept running.

'Now, is a good enough time to test this out I suppose.' Izuku mused, and held up his right arm, gauntlet aimed at the last Zero-Pointer.

"And I'm out of here." Neito said with a yelp as he took off.

Really? You blow off most of your own arm once and people don't trust your inventions?

Sighing, Izuku refocused on the Zero-Pointer.

"This, is a Tesla Rifle." He said aloud, not entirely sure why. It's not like anyone was around to hear him.

Three purple bolts of pure electricity blasted the Zero-Pointer, leaving holes in its armored plating. Smoke began to pour from the robot as Izuku, through pure luck must have hit something vital.

Smiling, Izuku granted himself three seconds to celebrate. He had managed to use his gauntlet without causing harm to himself. It was a success.

_______________________________________

Ibara Shiozaki was currently in seventh place. Boomer, Candy-Cane and Forgettable were in First, Second and Third.

Neito and and Izuku were fourth and fifth respectfully. That first obstacle had been annoying.

They'd already fought those robots during the Entrance Exam. They weren't exactly a threat.

Though, she will admit it felt good to see Izuku's little happy dance upon not injuring himself with his device. She wasn't entirely sure why, but seeing his little moment of pure joy had caused a tingling sensation to form in her chest and her face slightly increased in temperature.

Had she come down with something?

Nope. That wasn't the reason. Father had made her immune to diseases and illness early in life. If not immune then at least heavily resistant to them.

Shrugging, Ibara continued forward. She would deal with that later. Right now it looked like she had come across the second obstacle.

The six others in front of her were moving slowly and carefully. Almost as if they were afraid of the very ground they were walking on.

"I see some students have finally figured out the next obstacle already." Her Sensei said, laughing over the loud speaker. "Welcome to the Mine Field. Now remember to mine your step, or prepare to be blown away!"

Ibara rolled her eyes at his ridiculous puns whilst she took her shoes off. This was an easy obstacle for her.

All she'd have to do was use certain aspects of her very complicated Quirk and she'd be done in no time.

Closing her eyes she began to focus, sighing her toes into the ground. Her Quirk, wrongly listed as Vines was in fact called Mother Nature.

It gave her a small connection to nature itself. One of the things she could do was see -or feel depending on one's point of view- her environment. This allowed her to see things she never would have normally seen. Such as the layout of every landmine.

Opening her eyes Ibara confidently strode onto the field, avoiding each trap with ease.

As she passed by Izuku, she decided to wrap a couple dozen vines around his waist and carry him to safety.
