A Different Path.

Round One - Obstacle Course.

Again, she couldn't place why, but she didn't particularly like the idea of him getting hurt.

Neito on the other hand...

Ibara triggered the closest landmine to her fellow orphan, coating both him and one of her vines in a layer of pink glitter.

"What the fuck Ibara?" Neito yelled.

"You needed a makeover." She yelled back.

"Um... Can you put me down please?" Izuku asked, a small blush on his cheeks.

"Once we've cleared the minefield. Yes."

Ochacko looked at the third and last obstacle and felt like giving up.

It was as if someone had taken the most horrifying aspects from Winter Wipeout and Ninja Warrior and combined them together to make absolute hell.

There were so many moving parts, and anytime you were knocked into the water you had to swim back to the start of this particular obstacle.

So far only three people have succeeded. Those being Katsuki Bakugo, who probably flew over it. The Quirkless kid from 1-B, how he did it Ochako couldn't fathom. And last but not least was an insane chick from the Support Course.

"So, any plans on how to get past it?" A very drenched, Shoto Todoroki asked.

"I don't know. And if I did I certainly wouldn't tell the person who declared war on me in front of the entire class." Ochacko snapped back. She didn't particularly care that Shouto had challenged her, but the fact that he specifically hunted her down and did it in front of the entire class.

It was almost as if he didn't care about the straight about the rest of their peers. And that irked her.

Ochacko continued her analysis of the torture machine before her and tried to picture a way through it.

She wanted to do it in one clean take for two reasons. The first and foremost, to piss off the Ice Prince standing next to her.

Secondly, she really didn't want to land in the water. It looked cold. As in really, really, really cold.

"You know, it looks as if it's something All Might would make." Ochacko muttered under her breath.

Her eyes widened in realization seconds later. All Might had made this! In fact she's watched him run this exact obstacle course numerous times.

Obviously, it was set to easy mode as none of the other students would be able to complete it at all.

She hasn't had a chance to use it herself, but she should be able to replicate how she'd seen All Might use it.

Smiling with glee, she shot forward, One For All running through her legs. Fifteen percent was the most she could handle at the moment, but it was all she needed in order to win this.

Pink lightning crackled around her body as she landed on the first platform. It imeaditly began to tilt to the left as a massive mallet came swinging for her.

The air currents from the hammer passing overhead disturbed her air as she ducked.

Not giving the platform a chance to tip her off, she leapt again, landing on a steel bar.

Next there would be several powerful jets of water, but with a strong enough punch that could be dealt with.

After that, a bouncey run. The large, rubber balloons were designed to be slippery, making it nearly impossible for one to get stable footing.

The key to success here was to keep moving and don't stop.

One by one, Ochacko passed every obstacle on All Might's Training Course.

A few minutes later she had successfully made it to the other side, and was crossing the finish line.

She may not have won the first round like she wanted, but fourth was quite good.
