In MHA With Star Platinum

Chapter 9 - Chapter9: The Test

I and the crowd were taken to a big hall. Taking my seat next to a random person, I stared forward.

There was a guy, who was quite famous for being a hero. Someone whose ability is about voice. He was known as Voice Hero: Present Mic.

Neito Momoma was staring at my direction, with kind of glare that made raise my eyebrows in suspicion. He doesn't sound like a fanboy or something. Yet his glare is suspicious… he could recognise me at the entrance. I didn't know what his intentions are.

Making eye contact with him, I furrowed my eyebrows, until he turned his head.

Geez, that was creepy.

Very soon, Present Mic bellow started to talk to us.

Talking with a mixed Japanese English, He was using his ability to make it sound like you are attending a football match with a commentary around.

He welcomed us, made some introduction to a speech. I could feel the nervousness and the excitement in the people around me. No one was calm, except maybe two or three people.

Then, there was a written test. Picking up the pencil, I started to gather my courage. Come on, it's just a high school test; nothing big.

"Okayu~! Take your pencils up!"

After taking the exam papers, some people placed other papers in front of us

Present Mic gestured with his hand as he pointed to the given papers.

Looking at the papers, there was some pixel representation of robots. Present Mike explained how each one of them is different and has a different value of the score, from one to three.

The students with weaker quirks would, of course, aim to the weaker robots, as they are easier to fight. The ones with more confidence would pick up on the stronger ones.

"The last one…" Mike pointed to the last robot type.

No one knew his size, or strength or real shape, except the outline, since we saw all but the pixel shape.

"Gives 0 points."

All call it Zero Pointer.

There were some upset roars.

"What a pain" I just sighed.

"Okay!" Mike was the only excited one, "Ready…Go!"

All of us then got the number of the group we would participate at. All of these crowd should be divided, I guess.

-x-X-x-

The crowd was taken to a big opened space.

The test ground wasn't something they expected to look like this; as it was expected to be some big white hall with robots appearing.

But here, it was just a big false city, with streets and buildings all over.

At the closed gates, all of the teenagers were standing in lines, like they were about to participate in a marathon or a sprint.

There were many cities like this, near each other. Each one has a crowd waiting for the gates to open the moment Mic tell them to go.

Neito Momoma glared at Lee's direction.

What a stroke of luck, he and that person were in the same group.

But still, the worse part was that his classmate, Itsuka, was here.

"I still don't understand," Momoma murmured.

*Dang*

He felt a fist like a hummer hitting him at the back of his head. It was seriously painful.

Turning around, he saw Itsuka glaring at him.

"Focus, stop being creepy."

Neito didn't overreact and looked at his friend, Itsuka, before looking at Lee's back.

"Something is wrong with him."

Itsuka looked at Lee's back. He was just having his hands inside his pocket while looking around. He was a good looking person and wasn't a guy you would suspect for being creepy.

"What do you mean? Are you jealous or what."

Neito frowned.

"His quirk…"

Neito hesitated.

He, of all the people, had the ability to copy the quirk of the people he touches.

He was a person who had the habit to follow the rise of new heroes and looking through their abilities.

Almost a month ago, he had read an article about Lee, as he saw him taking pics wit Mt Lady and, most importantly, All Might

The article's title was, [All Might thank a young man for helping to save two students capturing Sludge villain]

Most of the people paid attention to All Might's humbleness while others paid attention to the curves of the heroin.

Neito was more interested in the quirk of the guy, as he can never believe everything they say in the news. As he had looked at the guy's profile online, nothing there more than some pics.

"It's like he doesn't have one," Neito said. "His quirk, I can't feel it. Is he quirkless."

"You are kidding, right?" Itsuka looked at Lee again. "Maybe something is wrong with your power. He surely has a quirk. No one in their right mind comes to such test with no quirk."

Only an insane person, or someone with a death wish, would participate in a test against the robots without having a quirk.

Lee didn't look like a crazy person.

"My ability never get wrong. I'm just confused." Neito bit his nail.

Usually, whenever he copy a quirk, his ability tells him, and he would know how to use it.

But, not this time.

It felt like he had touched a normal human.

"That's!" Itsuka was wondering if Neito was just messing with her, just to get back on her for the hits she gave him.

But suddenly, she felt a touch on her shoulder.

"Thanks for the quirk, by the way." Reaching with his hand, he touched Itsuka on the shoulder. He made a laughing face and walked forward, "I guess I'll figure that later."

She humped at him, her fist grew bigger, but he was walking forward

Very soon, Mic yelled for every to start. The gates got opened in each test location.

The teenagers started to run all over the test field.

***

The moment the gates were opened, and I saw the empty city in front of me, I noticed that the others started to run forward like they were in a marathon.

I walked slowly, and I did notice the boy and the girl from early passing by me. Neito looked at me before running forward.

Apparently, no robots were presented here, and that's why everyone seemed anxious to look for robots.

There was a limited number of them, and we have to look for them. Not to mention, only those with the best scores are accepted.

My hand still in my pocket, I knew that I have to look for robots as well. I guess the fact that the 3 meters range of my Star Platinum would make it troublesome.

I noticed at that moment that Neito whispered, "good luck," before continuing his run, Itsuka gave me the same look.

What's with that look? It's not like they think I'm quirkless or what.

Whatever, the moment the crowd got away from me, I called star platinum and shielded my legs' with the Stand's. Looking around, I saw the highest building, I guess 10 stories high. Squatting, I jumped with my stand and landed there easily. Lucky for me, my ability allowed me to be very precise.

Looking down, I noticed that the robots were getting attacked by the rest of the quirk users. They were like ants who found a bunch of sugars. Nothing is left.

Damn, I have to move. Even with my stand, these hungry teens may leave me nothing.

Looking around, I think I reached an idea.
