Kidnapping someone and leaving through a window on the first day, talk about an entrance. As most students watch, shell shocked, as Sae and Aoki flee, Atsuhiro focuses on Odd Eye and Oshigami. Atsuhiro feels a fierce, almost predatory look towards the window after Sae and Aoki are out of sight but can't find the source. Odd Eye is leaning against the door, Oshigami collapsed under his foot. One person with a contact based quirk going against twelve students is too strange, even for a pro.

A girl reaches for the window to check on their missing classmates but before she can even grab the windowsill, a robot launches through the opposite door, ramming through the crowd.

"Hahaha, what god of destruction would enter purgatory without their own fiends? Look upon the carcasses before the gates of hell and here shall be those who rise above those ashes!"

"Can you shut up yet?" A boy with green hair and a bandana covering his forehead rushes towards Odd Eye, pushing back the white-haired latecomer whose arm he was just holding.

"Repeating another's folly isn't heroic!" Odd Eye swings his open hand forward, a thick yellow bracelet grazing the boy's hair when he slides down through Odd Eye's legs. He drags Oshigami out with him into the hall, holding Oshigami's head in his left hand. Oh, someone's trying to be a hero.

"Such a valiant effort to save deadweight but where do you intend to take him?"

Green rises from the floor, leaving Oshigami lying in the hall. "Deadweight, huh?" The two lock eyes, Odd Eye's smiling growing. Green readies himself to charge...and goes in the opposite direction, carefully dodging the robots littering the hall. "Damn right he is, so I'm taking what's useful and bailing!"

"Oh you dirty coward! This is a hero course!" The 'plain' girl shouts but hides behind 'Snow' hair. Odd Eye sighs and throws Oshigami over his shoulder, signaling for the robots to swarm the doors.

"My hand of god shall be aimed at the foolish sinners that rush ahead. You sheep are unworthy of my will." He waves and is slowly swallowed by the crowd of robots.

"Sheep?" A growl and whisper both chime in and soon enough a girl with rabbit ears, the one responsible for the growl no doubt, bounds forward after Odd Eye, a single kick tearing through three robots at once.

"I ain't some side character you can toss aside!"

"No, Usagiyama-san, we need you here!" 'Plain' collapses with her head in her hands, groaning as the remaining robots get closer.

Another boy with a dark blue rattail follows after 'Usagiyama' at a rather...disappointing speed. "I-I am a hero too, so please get me out of here!" Before the robots hit him he flashes forward, dodging them but immediately returns to his slow pace. That kid seems rather unsteady just from that short burst of speed. I couldn't even see him move.

"Hey morons, we're dealing with those robots before worrying about anyone else!" A girl with piercing red eyes and a cap shouts out but Atsuhiro, along with everyone else, are instead drawn to the loud screeching and collapse of metal.

"But they're already taken care of? I dunno what else you expect from me..." A girl wearing an oversized uniform sweater leans against the door, messing with an old-school mechanical puzzle. Around her, the robots spark and shut down and many in the hall desperately move away. A line is almost drawn with where the robots collapse, all the survivors carefully surrounding the edge of this safe zone.

A laugh echoes across the room, the crimson-winged boy hopping onto the edge of the window. "Well it seems this area is covered for now, I'll just fly around to pick off the real troublemakers for you all." With a wave, he's outside, not even waiting for a response.

Less than ten minutes in and the class has already whittled down to just five. How lucky are we? "All right everyone, with those left we need to come up with a plan. Odd Eye should be aiming for those closest to reaching Ground Zeta and, thanks to the miss over there, this seems a safe spot from those robots for now." Atsuhiro steps forward, pointing his thumb over his shoulder towards the robot killer still playing with her puzzle.

"Well I'm not working with a bunch of no names, so you all need to introduce yourselves first!" The capped girl huffs, sitting down and scanning the four other students. How utterly charming, just keep smiling...

'Plain' coughs, waiting for everyone to look at her before stepping away from the Snow and pulling out a notebook filled with sticky notes. "Well, I probably know the most here so I'll start. I'm Tokuda Tsugiya and I know the names of everyone else in our class, so I can fill in for those that have already left. My quirk is, um, useful enough to mess with the environment but I need time to get it working."

"Well, let's save the deserters for last then, shall we?" Atsuhiro jumps onto the center most desk, giving a dramatic twirl of the wrist and takes a deep bow. "I am Sako Atsuhiro. Master of sleight of hand and escaping from rather precarious situations. My quirk is, as such, quite handy in those predicaments."

After both Tokuda's and Atsuhiro's introductions, two things set in: first, these were the stragglers and needed to do whatever necessary to cement their position in class and second, these two were unwilling to give away details of their quirks. Who would recklessly throw away their main advantage against each other when they are all, in a sense, competing?

The air was growing heavy, the lack of trust weighing down on everyone's hearts. "You keep avoiding important information! If you're introducing yourself, do it right! Mochizuki Shinku, I got screwed over being in the same test as that robot-killer so technically my score should be higher! Repel is probably a stronger quirk than most of yours anyway."

"Weren't you the one who spent twenty minutes chasing your cap that got taken by the wind?" Tokuda says, digging into her bag and pulling out a photograph.

"This hat is priceless and I was already doing well enough to have plenty of time!"

"But didn't you just complain about having a low score?"

Mochizuki pauses, staring at Tokuda as the clock ticks on. "My score was just fine! It's higher than yours and Sako's, hell even the white haired brat over there is probably lower too!"
She crosses her arms, a smug smile spreading when the four other students are dead silent. Sako disguises his chuckle as a cough but Snow is far less subtle.

"What a dumbass."

"What the hell is your-!"

Atsuhiro claps, dragging everyone's eyes to him. "Well let's avoid any infighting, since Mochizuki-san was kind enough to break our silence." He points at Snow, "can we leave you for last and skip to miss robot killer lying on the floor?" Snow just nods, laying his head back on the desk. "We need to wrap this up quickly since we don't know how much longer this room will be safe."

All eyes are on Sweater, completely motionless on the floor with her completed metal puzzle laying beside her.

"Isowaki Ari...I think? I can create a sorta Faraday Cage that shuts off electrical systems in range..." She doesn't move from her spot on the floor, completely limp.

"You're the fifth top scorer in our grade, so why are you just lying there?" Tokuda kneels down beside her, waving a hand in her face. Isowaki's eyes are dull.

"Ah well... My quirk affects electrical signals and my body kinda needs those to function. So I just can't move if it goes on too long..."

"If it's that bad just stop using it!" Tokuda shakes Isowaki but she just groans and does nothing to stop it.
"Alright, then last but hopefully not least is..."

Snow sighs, half-heartedly pulling himself out of his chair. "Todoroki Touya. Fire quirk and don't bother me about my old man or whatever nonsense you think is unique to ask. Also don't drag me down."

Mochizuki and Tokuda freeze up, watching the curt boy lean against the wall. The number two's son. Many wondered if he even attempted to go to UA since he wasn't in the list of recommended students competing, much less the four that were chosen to attend.

"And that concludes the straggler introductions. For Isowaki's sake we need to discuss what to do quickly. We need to find Ground Zeta while avoiding those robots."

Tokuda passes Atsuhiro, grabbing chalk and heading towards the section of the board not covered by the two charts. "We should also help Oshigami, right? After all, Odd Ball said 'you all must reach Ground Zeta' or the like? Doesn't that include Oshigami too? Also, what about the teacher? You only mentioned the robots but he's the bigger threat."

"Because he's going to protect Oshigami before anything else, right? We can't all win if he's caught!" Mochizuki dramatically points at Tokuda. How confident.

"Or he'll go after those easy targets that left earlier, dumbass. Why would he rely on protecting one person when that's only a possible rule." Todoroki pushes off the wall, going to the board and crossing out known names from the projection. Nine names out of twelve gone. Nine?

"We know the five of us here along with Oshigami-san, but where did you get the three?" Atsuhiro walks up to the board. Sae-chan, Usagiyama and Nakano. Sae's entrance test had a fire user didn't it?

"Yamada, Nakano and Usagiyama were all in my exam area. Hard to miss two top scorers and the bottom of the barrel that got in by the skin of his teeth." Poor Nakano, but Sae said the same as well. And if he's the boy who was winded from a moment's use of his quirk then...

"Yamada-san left with Aoki-san. 7th and a recommendation student should be just fine." Tokuda writes out all the names again, crossing out anyone not worth fretting over.

"Shitai-san was the kid with green hair but he seems level-headed and capable enough to get by. Usagiyama-san is 2nd so, as long as she doesn't do anything rash like Oshigami-san, she'll also be alright on her own. Takami-san can fly and is recommended, so yeah. The only people we need to worry about are Nakano-san and Oshigami-san."

Todoroki leans back into his chair. "We shouldn't be worrying about those two anyway. The only reason to help is just an interpretation of Odd Ball's freaky wording anyway. This is a lesson, why is it on us for those two to pass?"

Tokuda slams her palm against the board, wiping away part of the names and sending chalk dust flying. "Todoroki, this is a hero course! A hero who refuses to save someone won't ever be considered genuine... so imagine the amount of extra credit we'll get for helping those two make it to the end!"

"That's a garbage reason!" Mochizuki bites her thumb, heading over towards the door. "Todoroki clearly won't help but we still haven't even heard Isowaki's opinion! So let's ask her-!" Mochizuki lowers her hand, staring at the empty spot on the floor where Isowaki was laying.

"Where did she..." Atsuhiro scans the room but she isn't anywhere inside, so then...

Todoroki darts past Mochizuki, pushing her to the floor. "In the hall, they got her!" He skids to a halt, aiming his palm to the opposite end of the hall where the robots have crossed the "Faraday Cage Line", surrounding the class. "She's the most useful one here so one of you get her back!" His hand sizzles but only a weak burst of flames billow out.

"What the hell?"

"Todoroki, move out of the way if your quirk is so useless!" Mochizuki runs towards him but before she makes contact a crimson, spherical pulse shoots out of her and slams Todoroki--along with all nearby robots and debris--against the walls and away from her. Repel, that could be useful for defense.

"Sako-san, please go through the other door when I give the signal! Make sure you aren't in my line of sight!" Tokuda faces Isowaki and the horde of robots dragging her away and, in the next moment, her eyes are wide open and almost shift into an open lenses. The flash that follows leaves all the robots and Isowaki frozen, Tokuda's eyes watering and desperately straining to stay open.

"Sako-san, your quirk helps with escaping right? Whatever it is, do it now! I can't buy much more time!"

"That's more than enough!" Charging through the backdoor, Atsuhiro touches the robot before him, transforming it into a small blue sphere. He throws the ball under the robots blocking his path, snapping when it's rolled underneath all the way. With a strange blue glow the ball morphs back into the robot, knocking everything nearby down. Isowaki, unmoving, is finally within sight.

Atsuhiro doesn't miss a beat, touching Isowaki's loose sweater with the tips of his fingers she is compressed down into an easily manageable ball, and Atsuhiro carefully maneuvers back to the classroom.

Atsuhiro tosses Isowaki's capsule to Todoroki, "You're fire seems pretty useless right now, so just protect her!" Todoroki tenses after catching Isowaki's capsule but pockets it and follows after Atsuhiro.

"She's already expended her quirk so we can't stay here. Let's head towards Ground Zeta already!" Todoroki shouts, running towards the stairs with Atsuhiro. Mochizuki's crimson repulse triggers.

"What the hell? No, we're going after Oshigami aren't we!" Mochizuki runs in the opposite direction, Tokuda chasing after her.

"You two head to Ground Zero with Isowaki-san and help out who you can! I'll go with Mochizuki-san to save Oshigami-san!" With that, the team of five is whittled down to three and two. Though these five are not the 'heroes' of this story. So let's return to the two that matter most.
