Mera directs everyone attention to the screen and they all watch as the arena is turned into a disaster zone. He announces the next and final phase of the exam will involve rescue operations.
"There are people in there." Shouji pointed out.
"Elderly and children?!" Sato exclaims.
"That's so dangerous! What are they doing?"
The one hundred students who passed the first phase of the exam are tasked with rescuing members of the Help Us Company who are trapped in the disaster zone.
They are a group of professionals who have trained to act as citizens in need of rescuing. They've dressed up as injured people and put themselves in situations for the students to rescue them.
"I wonder if this disaster site is based on Camino Ward.." Izuku uttered.
"Back then, we were focused on getting Bakugou far away from the villains.. and staying out of the way of the pros. There were many casualties in the midst of all that." Iida says.
"Let's do our best."
I heard Sero tells Kaminari and Mineta that Izuku got to fight with the Shiketsu girl while she was naked. Wait. Did I hear that correctly?
"I saw her completely naked in the shadows by the rocks with Midoriya." Sero whispered.
"Midoriya!" They confront Izuku about it and don't allow him to explain. The shiketsu girl notices them and waves at Izuku, further strengthening the implications that Izuku has some kind of relationship with the girl.
"Will you two give Izuku a break?" I bluntly says before we notice the Shiketsu students approach us.
A figure that covered entirely by light brown hair asked Bakugou, "Did you see Shishikura- the guy whose eyes look like slits?"
"Yeah. I knocked him out." Katsuki replies.
"That's what I thought. I think he probably acted rudely. He must have caused offense. I apologize on behalf." He apologized and stated that he wants to build a positive relationship between U.A. and Shiketsu.
"Well, aren't you another famous UA student who fought with the demon villain in Camino?" The shiketsu girl appeared behind. "Nice to meet you, Tomioka Y/n."
I narrowed my eyes, feeling something strange about her.
"Camie. Don't make him uncomfortable."
"Right, right. Sorry about that. See you later." Camie says before she walk towards her classmates.
"First Midoriya, now Tomioka?! How are you two keep attracting cute and hot girls?!" Mineta exclaimed. While Yaoyorozu scold the two boys to stop acting disgracefully.
Uraraka watches Camie exit the building and seems to be struggling to something.
"Uraraka? Are you alright?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. It's just.. I don't understand why do I feel so stirred up? I was fine when I was fighting.. I don't like this."
I see. Uraraka struggles to come to terms with her feelings for... I glance at Izuku.
"It's natural for you having those feelings."
"Y/n.. Can I ask? How would you deal if you have feelings for someone?"
"Well, I never had feelings for someone before, but I say, I'd put those feelings aside. I need to prioritize myself in this matter, focusing on becoming a hero."
"You're right. Maybe that's what I should do as well." Uraraka muttered, deciding to temporarily shut her feelings for him away, and only being close best friends with him for the time being, she turn to me and smiled. "Thanks for the talk, Y/n."
The test suddenly begins. "It's starting.." The room unfolds like before.
The scenario is that a villain terrorist attack has destroyed the city and there are many civilians in need of rescue. First responders have been delayed because of destroyed roadways and it's up to the heroes to save as many lives as they can.
"Let's start by going to the closest urban area! We'll work as a team as much as possible!" Iida stated until both Izuku and I stopped.
"What's wrong Midoriya? Tomioka?"
"I hear a child's voice!"
"Let's go." I rushes towards where the voice coming from, the others followed behind. There I saw an injured boy crying by himself.
"Help! My grandpa! He's been crushed!"
"What? This is bad! Where?!"
"What's up with that? Minus points for you!" The boy yells at Izuku.
"That's definitely wrong Izuku." I approached the boy. "Okay. Everything is going to be all right. Don't worry, we'll save your grandfather for sure." I reassured the boy as I inspect his injuries.
"They were panicking and scared. We need to comfort the victim first."
The Help Us Company workers score the students based on the efficiency of their rescue operations.
"That's right! You need to help prepare the situation so it goes smoothly when emergency responders arrive. Saying something like "this is bad" won't comfort the injured." They boy explained.
Izuku realizes this is why All Might always smiles and says "Hope has arrived because I am here!" when he saves people. Frustrated with himself for knowing better, Izuku hits his head and puts on a brave smile.
"Everything is fine!"
The boy stared at Izuku deadpan before he start crying again. "Over there! My grandpa..!"
"Don't worry, we'll definitely save him!"
"All right. You guys look and help the other heroes rescuing the other civilians. Izuku take this boy to the first aid area." I says and they all agree before they left. Izuku carried the boy before he head towards safety.

Mera watches as everyone worked together with the rescue operation test.
"Everyone seems to be doing well, thanks to their training." He says before he glanced at the screen where Y/n is. "I guess. It's finally time to release it. Gang Orca is ready for his role in the test as well."

I unexpectedly met up with Kaminari. "Kaminari, I thought you were going with Kirishima an Katsuki."
"I am! But those two were such in a hurry and I ended up losing them!" Kaminari exclaims before he decided to go with me.
We spotted two people inside the building and we confirmed that they're is still conscious.
"All right. Kaminari, let's go."
"What?! But that building looks like is about to collapse!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"That's why we need to get those people out immediately. We're the only ones that can help them now." I says, but after looking at Kaminari's distressed face.
"That so? All right, then." I uttered in a dark tone, before angrily goes on alone.
Scared by my furious expression, Kaminari reluctantly tags along as he holds on my haori.
"Hey, come on! Why are you making that face at me? Fine, I'll go!"
"I have no intention of forcing you to."
"I said I'll go!"
We successfully reached the members of HUC when there was suddenly a large explosion around the arena.
"What's that?!"
"There has been a large-scale terrorist attack by villains." Mera announced.
"Rescuing and fighting huh? Those were a tough times for the heroes." I says as Kaminari and I were about assist the HUC members to head outside the building.
"Tomioka, I think someone else is here too." I quizically look at Kaminari before he points someone behind me.
I look at where Kaminari is pointing, there I saw a silhouette figure who instantly charges towards us.
I swiftly unsheath my blade and parried it's attack. Looking at the assailant, it was a battle doll, It has six arms and hands that each hold a katana.
"Kaminari..! Get these people to the first aid area..!"
"R-right!! You sure you're gonna be okay alone with that?"
"Yeah! Now go!"
Kaminari nodded before he led the HUC members outside. The battle doll fires at the ground near my feet, creating an explosion.
I was dazed but unhurt, quickly rolls away and runs to take cover behind the walls as the battle doll fires several more shots at me.
I then leaps into the action, the battle doll and I swings our weapon at each other, but both of us block every strike.
Soon, I backflips into the air and propel myself past the doll. As I flies past it, I finally land a hit.
The doll swings it's katana to block and strike me. Right before the strike connects, I backflip away from it.
While I straighten my posture, the doll spins around, and slams it's sword hilt into the side of my face, causing me stumble back. I turn around to strike back, only to be hit once again and knocked to the ground.
'Man, this battle doll is strong and has amazing swordsmanship.' I sweep out of the way and stands up.
'it's design seems..'
The battle doll strikes as I jumps up and delivers some midair strikes to knock it down, then lands in a fighting stance.
It turn to face me, its mouth opened revealing a gun then fires a blast. I hid behind the car to avoid it before I leap overhead and prepares to strike.
The battle doll runs towards me and attempt an overhead swipe, but I point my sword downwards and lets the katana simply run down the side of it, creating sparks but missing me completely.
The doll spins around its arms, viciously swiping towards me sideways with the katanas. I acrobatically lower my body underneath it, dodging the blow and backflipping out of range.
"Wind Breathing, Second Form: Claws - Purifying Wind."
(Kaze no kokyū, Ni no kata: Sōsō - Shinato Kaze)
Then I perform a vertical slash that sends a claws shockwave down the ground, destroying three of the doll's arm.
Rising from the ground, the doll slashes at me, but I ducked out of the way. After attempting another overhead slash, which I dodged again, it manages to briefly knock me back after the two weapons clash.
'They don't mind if I destroy it, don't they?'
Deflecting one of its attacks, performing a backflip and countering with a stab of my own, which sends it flying backwards.
As it stands back on its feet, I land infront of it and raises my blade before I swung at it.

Mera announces last people from the HUC are rescued and the exam suddenly ends.
"Okay... Everyone, thanks for all your hard work. Now, let's see what happen to the- What?! The battle doll! It's completely destroyed?! He seriously cut it down to pieces?!"
"Battle doll?" Midoriya muttered and saw Y/n walking towards him. "Y/n, I heard an explosion from where you came from. Are you alright?"
"Yeah. The battle doll they were talking about attacked me."
Mera announces that everyone should have their injuries treated and change before the results are revealed.
Everyone changes and gathers around a board where the results will be announced. Mera explains the students were graded on how efficient they were and how few mistakes they made. The names of those who passed are displayed on the board and Y/n look for his name.
"-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi.."
"-Mi.. Mi.. Mi..."
"Ba-!"
Tomioka Y/n
Y/n found his name on the board. The majority of Class 1-A is able to find their names on the list. However, Bakugou and Todoroki, fail the exam.
"Todoroki.. didn't pass?"
"Only Tomioka who's one of our top class passed."
"You should rethink your abusive language. Words are important, you know." Kaminari says, enraging Bakugou.
"Shut up. I'll kill you."
"Because they are both highly skilled, they end up fighting against their own egotism. The hierachy's collapsing..!" Mineta taunts them, but Iida stops him.
The commission officers hand out sheets detailing the students' performances.
"61 points.. I barely passed." Ojiro uttered.
"I got 84! Look, isn't it amazing? I'm kind of good at this, huh?" Sero happily says.
"Wait, Yao-momo, you got 94 points?!" Jirou exclaims, looking at Yaoyorozu's paper.
"Iida, how'd you do?" Midoriya asked.
"I got 80 points. Overall, I think I had trouble with practical application."
"I got 71 points." Midoriya glance at Y/n. "Y/n, how's yours?"
Y/n stared at the paper before he showed it to Midoriya and Iida.
"100 points!?"
Mera addresses the students who passed and says their new licenses will grant them permission to act as heroes in emergency situations.
Then he addresses the students who failed and tells them they can still get their licenses by attending a three-month-long remedial course.
"Sir! What about the demons? Now that we know their existance, what do we do if we ever encounter them?"
"If you ever encounter one of those things, we suggest for all of you to avoid them.
Do not take the risk of taking them on for your sake. We cannot afford losing anymore lives. If you're worried about who's going to stop those things,
The Hero Public Safety Commission had already chosen someone who could take on them."
The class 1-A stirred up as they slowly glances at Y/n. They had a same thought about who the Hero Public Safety Commission chosen to defeat the demons.
Aizawa narrowed his eyes and upset, "That kid. He's really gonna do it."
