No one's POV

The next day during homeroom class, Shota tells his class they will be going to a forest lodge during the summer break.

Shota: Well, it's almost time for summer vacation, but of course, it wouldn't make sense for you to rest for the whole month.

Kaminari: Don't tell me...

Shota: During summer vacation, we'll have a training camp in the woods!

Class 1A: I knew it! Yes!

Mina: Let's test our courage!

Mineta: Baths!

Tsuyu: Fireworks!

Mineta: Open-air baths!

Tenya: Curry.

Mineta: Hot Springs!

Momo: If we're out in nature, we will have to work under different conditions, right?

Tokoyami: No matter what the environment, we must choose wisely... Interesting.

Hagakure: Eaiting and sleeping with everyone! I'm getting excited!

The class were all in a hype after hearing that they will had a training summer camp. The students were all chatting with one another without regards that they're still in class. However, Shota's voice all silent them immediately.

Shota: However!

Class 1A: *Silence*

Shota: Those who do not pass the final exams before that... will be in summer school hell.

Kirishima: Everyone, let's do our best!

Katsuki: This is damn stupid.

Mineta: Girls, do your best!

Sarada: Shut your perverted mouth!

However, Shota warns his students that if any of them fail to pass the end of term test, then they will be stuck in remedial school. Naturally the students all vowed to do their best to not get a failing grade. And Sora despite finally learning about the Eye of Hope from All Might, contemplates that his every day life will not change and what he needs to do.

Sora(mind): Still... Where did All Might learn about this eye?

Sora's unanswered questions will continue to linger for futures to come.

(Timeskip)

Only a week away from final exams, Shota warns Class 1-A to prepare their minds and their bodies for the written and practical sections of the exam.

Shota: Okay, that's it for class. There's only one week left until the final exams. You're all studying probably, right? I'm sure you already know, but it won't just be a written exam. There's also a practical component. Make sure you train your minds and bodies at the same time. That's all.

Taking their midterm grades into account, much of the class discusses getting ready for the end of the term.

Denki and Mina: I haven't studied at all!

Denki: With the sports festival and internship, I didn't study at all!

Denki and Mina, scoring the lowest grades with 22nd and 21st place respectively of the class, admit they haven't studied at all because of the events that have been taking place throughout the semester.

Tokoyami: It's true that we had one event after another, but...

Sato: For the midterms, we'd just started school, so they didn't cover that much, so I didn't really have a hard time with them, but with the back to back events and stuff, the finals will be different...

Fumikage agrees scoring 16th place, and Rikido who ranks 14th notes that the test will be even more difficult than the midterms. Minoru teases Mina and Denki, saying that only the practical will be difficult because he has high grades in class.

Mineta: It'll be tough since there's a practical exam, too. But since I got 11th on the midterms, it shouldn't be hard for me!

Mina and Kaminari: 11th on the midterms?!

Mina: And here I thought you were one of us!

Kaminari: Guys like you are only likable if they're dumb...! Where's the demand for this?!

Mineta: The world, I guess.

Izuku: Ashido, Kaminari! Let's do our best! We all want to go to the training camp together, right?

Tenya: Yes! I also have high hopes that you'll all be moved to action!

Shoto: It's pretty hard to fail if you just pay attention in class.

Izuku who rank 6th and Tenya who rank 4th try to encourage them to do their best, but Shoto who rank 7th intervenes and says it should be easy if they just pay attention in class.

Sora: Wow... you really don'y minced with words don't you.

Momo: You two, I may be of assistance with the class lectures.

Sora who ranked 2nd in the exams was trying to ease the tension but that only made Denki more discouraged, but Momo who ranked 1st offers to help tutor him for the written test.

Momo: I can't help at all with the practical, though...

Sora: ^_^ Oh don't feel so depress! Just helping us out will already be sufficient.

Sarada: Same... And I'm still having struggles on some several questions.

Several others hear her proposal and asked to be tutored as well.

Jiro: Same goes for me. I'm having some trouble with quadratic functions...

Momo: Huh?

Sero: Sorry, me too! How are you there with Classical Japanese?

Ojiro: I'd like to join too. There's a bunch of stuff I don't get...

Everyone: Please!

Excited, Momo promises to prepare a study session at her home.

Momo: Everyone! Yes, of course!

Everyone: Alright!

Momo: Then, let us hold a study session at my residence this weekend!

Mina: Seriously? I can't wait to see your house!

Getting out of topic about the exams, Momo started asking everyone what kind of tea they like or even murmuring to herself on what she should do to please everyone when they come to her house. Her enthusiasm shows no bound that it reminded Sora about Izuku who likes to assess himself.

Momo: In my family, we always drink Harrod's or Wedgwood, so if you have any preference, let me know! Of course you can trust me to help you all study, too!

At the same time, Eijiro comments to Katsuki on his different standards from his peers, to which Katsuki angrily declares he will tutor Eijiro himself. Yuga says that it's too late to try and cram for exams, but Mezo replies that Yuga needs to do some cramming himself.

(Timeskip)

At lunch, Izuku and his peers question the nature of the practical exam when Monoma suddenly appears and bumps into Izuku's head. He sarcastically apologizes and starts to criticize Class 1-A for being involved with the Hero Killer because they seem to keep getting into trouble. He only stops berating them when Kendo appears and knocks him out. She then tells everyone an upperclassman informed her the practical test will entail fighting against robotic villains. Monoma insults her for helping their class rivals, but she knocks him out again and drags him away, claiming they're not detestable like he claims.

Kaminari: Oh, It'll be easy if it's robots!

Mina: Yeah, yeah!

Returning to their homeroom class, Mina and Denki are excited to know that the practical exam involves fighting against robots.

Shoji: You guys look like you'd have a hard time controlling your Quirks against people.

Kaminari: Yeah! But I can just let loose with the robots, so it'll be a cinch!

Mina: And it'll be a cinch for me to melt them!

Sero: Now you just need Yao-Momo, to help you study, and you'll be set for the finals!

Mezo assumes this is because they have a hard time controlling their Quirks against real people.

Katsuki: It doesn't matter if they're people or robots. They're the same if you beat them, right? What're you idiots talking about it being a cinch for?

Kaminari: Who're you calling an idiot?!

Katsuki: Shut up! If you need to control your Quirk, then control it! Idiot!

This irritates Katsuki, who states that regardless of whether the enemies are human or robotic, they need to control their Quirks to fight in any case.

Sarada: For once I agree with what Firecracker said. I still need better control of my Quirk, and you two should as well.

Then she calls out to Sora declaring she will get a better score on the finals than he would. Sora of course wouldn't lay low for a reason, and he accepted Sarada's challenge.

Sarada: You better be prepared!

Sora: ^_^ Hehe... Sadly you're still far away to be at my level.

Sarada: Cocky bastard! We'll see which one of us had the last laugh!

She storms out of class and Shota overhears those two, leading him to think about Sora and Sarada's relationship despite being childhood friends.

Shota(mind): Those two... either they are good friends or just oil and water.

(Timeskip)

Afterwards, the students spend their last week before finals studying. Sarada, Denki, Mina, Mashirao, Kyoka, and Hanta meet Momo at her luxurious estate to study. Sora, Izuku, Ochaco, and Tenya study on their own while Katsuki aggressively tutors Eijiro. They all undergo three straight days of written tests and then the day of the practical test arrives.

Shota: Now, we will begin the practical exam.

Sora and his classmates are already in their costumes listening to Shota's words attentively.

Shota: Of course, it's possible to fail this exam. If you want to go to the training camp, then don't make any stupid mistakes.

Jiro: There are a lot of teachers...

Kyoka notices that many teachers are present for the exam.

Shota: I expect that you all have gathered information ahead of time and have some idea of what you will be doing.

Kaminari: We're fighting robot warriors like in the entrance exam, right?

Mina: Fireworks! Curry! Test of Courage!

Shota knows that without a doubt they have some knowledge on the exercise test, to which Mina and Denki exclaim that it will be fighting against robots. Principal Nezu jumps out of Shota's scarf and reveals to Class 1-A that they will not be having a battle simulation against robots for their practical exam.

Nezu: Too bad! For various reasons, the exam will be different starting this time!

Hearing this everyone was surprised and both Mina and Denki were frozen like statue realizing that they were screwed and the two lowest in the class.

Everyone: Principal Nezu?!

Momo: Different?

Nezu: From now on, we want to focus on person to person combat and Hero Work, and stress teaching that is closer to actual fighting. So...

Nezu explains that the recent surge of villains has caused the school to increase the quality of their training methods in order to increase the students' battle experience. From now on, U.A. students will be having battle simulations similar to real-life battles and Class 1-A will be the first students who will have real-life battle simulations. He goes on to reveal that Class 1-A's practical exam will be forming pairs and facing one of U.A.'s teachers in combat, shocking the whole class.

Nezu: We'll have you form teams of two to fight against one teacher!

Ochako: Against...the teachers?

Shoto: In addition, the pairs and who each pair will be up against have already been decided. These were determined at my discretion based on various factors, including fighting styles, grades, and interpersonal relationships, so here they are First, Uzumaki and Uchiha are one team...

Sora and Sarada: ?!

Hearing this, the two latter looked at one another not believing in what they heard. And Shota is not yet finished.

Shota: And your opponent...

*ring*ring*

Hearing the chime of bells, the two immediately knew who they would be facing.

Sora and Sarada:...

Kakashi: Well, first I'm curious as to how you've developed.

It was Kakashi Hatake also known as White Fang. Both Sora and Sarada knew him even before they entered U.A. so they could guess where this was going.

Kakashi: The rules are the same when I first met you two when you were kids. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you will never succeed in getting the bells!

Hearing this both Sora and Sarada smile with confidence. Back when they were little, the two actually tried to get the bells but since both Sora and Sarada are always on each other's throats and were unable to work together made them fail the attempt. But this time, it will be different.

Kakashi: Since I know you two personally. Outside and inside of school, you two will be slightly different from the rest. You have 3 hours to get the bell. Be sure to come at me with all you've got.

Shota continued with the pairing and lastly would be Izuku and Katsuki will be paired together, much to their shock, to face All Might.

All Might: I... will do it!

Izuku and Katsuki: All Might?!

All Might: Work together to beat me, you two!

Then the remaining Class 1-A pairs are revealed:

Cementoss vs Sato and Kirishima

Ectoplasm vs Tsuyu and Tokoyami

Power loader vs Iida and Ojiro

Aizawa vs Shoto and Momo

Thirteen vs Ochako and Aoyama

Nezu vs Mina and Kaminrai

Present Mic vs Jiro and Koda

Snipe vs Shoji and Hagakure

Midnight vs Mineta and Sero

All Might vs Izuku and Katsuki.

Kakashi vs Sora and Sarada

The students will have thirty minutes to handcuff their teachers or escape the facility. Students' efforts to escape will teach them that it's okay to run and get help when there's a large difference in strength.

Nezu: The time limit for the exam is 30 minutes! Your objective is either to put these handcuffs on the teacher, or to have to escape from the stage!

Kaminrai: Capture the teachers or escape...it's kind of like the combat training.

Mina: Is it really okay to run away?

Nezu: Yup.

Present Mic: But I'll be different from the combat training! You'll be up against someone waaaaaaaaaaaay better then you!

Jiro: Better...than us? I can't really imagine it, though...

Present Mic: Dummy! Hey, girl, watch your mouth! You hear?!

Thirteen: This time, your exam will be very similar to a real battle. Please think of us as Villains.

Kakashi: Assuming you come across the enemy, if you think you can win a fight against them, then that's fine. However...

Aizawa; In cases where there's too big a difference in your abilities...

Kakashi: It would be smarter to run away and get help.

Aizawa: Todoroki, Iida, Midoriya, Uzumaki. I'm sure you four understand this well.

Shota comments that Sora, Izuku, Shoto, and Tenya likely know this well from their encounter with Stain. Shoto remembers that he refused to run, and Tenya promises to learn from that mistake.

Sora: Fight and win.

Izuku: Or run and win.

All Might: That's right! Your decision making skills are being tested! But with the rules, you're probably thinking the only chance is to run, right? But that's why we had the support course make us these!

All Might clears any student anxiety over feeling that escaping is their only option by showing them that all the teachers will be wearing ultra compressed weights. The weights are designed as a handicap and were developed by Mei Hatsume.

All Might: Ultra Compressed Weights!

All the teachers put them on, on both their arms and legs.

All Might: We'll put on about half of our body weight. It's to give s you a handicap. It's old fashioned, but it makes it hard to move and eats up stamina!

All Might then put two on each arm and leg, however All Might was surprised how heavy they were.

All Might: Holy shit...they're heavier then I thought... By the way, there was a competition to decide on the design, and we ended up using Young Hatsume's.

Katsuki claims that the teachers underestimate them by giving them the opportunity to consider fighting back.

Katsuki: To allow us to consider fighting you, huh? You're underestimating us

All Might: I wonder?

Aizawa: Alright, each team will take the practical exam in order on the prepared stage. Tokoyami, Asui, get ready.

Tsuyu and Tokoyami: Yes, sir!

Aizawa: Those waiting their turns can watch the exams or think of strategies as a team. Do what you want. That's all.

Once the explanation concludes, the exam begins with Eijiro and Rikido facing off with Cementoss. While some students prepare strategies together, Izuku and Sora watch the first test on the monitor since they don't communicate well with their partners. The battle begins with Rikido and Eijiro using their Quirks to take on Cementoss. Cementoss creates a number of cement walls to block their path to him, but they try to force their way through.

Izuku notices that this strategy will not garner them victory because, unlike the students, Cementoss doesn't have a time limit to his Quirk. He surmises the practical exam is pitting students against teachers that will exploit their weaknesses, forcing them to compensate. Eijiro and Rikido fail to do this and are ultimately defeated.

The next pair to take the practical exam consists of Fumikage and Tsuyu. Immediately their opponent, Ectoplasm, creates clones of himself that surround the students. He states that all of the U.A. teachers will not hold back and are doing their best to crush the students.

As time goes on, Sora and Izuku would go on to watch as most of the class would go on to pass their Exams, with the unfortunate exception of Mina, and Kaminari who couldn't outsmart Principal Nezu. As the others were watching, Sora had already left and went to go to their testing area, where Sarada was there waiting for him. Their training area would be the forest. And what's different about their exams and the rest is not just about them getting the bells, Sora and Sarada are already face to face with Kakashi even before the start of the exams.

Izuku: Those two are not even trying to hide.

Ochako: Will they be alright? Their goal is to steal the bells from Kakashi-sensei right?

Tenya: Their goal is a lot harsher than ours.

Recovery Girl: It's all about team work. I hope those two could work together given how they always banter with each other.

Back in the training field, Kakashi closed his book the moment he saw Sora and Sarada walking towards them.

Kakashi: Now then, shall we begin?

Hearing this, both Sora and Sarada smirk with confidence. Sora held out his hand towards the back of his jacket. From within was a belt bag where he kept all of his equipment and from within, he brought out his headband that was given to him from his Master.

Sora: Heh... You won't do it while reading the book this time, Kakashi-sensei?

Sora said while tightening his headband around his head.

Sarada: I bet he already finished reading?

Sarada said her words brimming with confidence as well. She took out her gloves from her pocket and put it on for protections in her arms.

Kakashi: No... I think I should save the enjoyment for later... Besides... This time for some reason... I get the feeling I should take it a little serious too.

Kakashi said this while removing the weight band on his arms and legs surprising everyone who is watching from the waiting area. In other words, Kakashi is truly going all out against two students. Kakashi after all could sensed it, that if he doesn't take this seriously, he would be overwhelmed by both students whom he deemed them as incompetence when they were little.

Sora and Sarada:...

Kakashi:...

Sora and Sarada two students and Kakashi glared at one another not saying a words. The wind breeze is the only sound that could be heard. The birds flew above them as if anticipating at whats to come. The teachers and students who were watching held their lungs with bated breath. And the moment that the sounds of jingles that came out from the bells due to the breeze, the match begins!

Sora: Here I come!

Before Kakashi can officially commence the test, Sora rushes in to attack. Drawing his sword for a quick strike, he sent a flying slash made out of pure wind at Kakashi.

This sort of attack naturally surprises Kakashi, Sarada and to those who were watching, since who knew a person could wield their Quirks that way. The pressure emanating from the flying slash made out of pure wind was immense that Kakashi had to crouch down to avoid it. The slashes is powerful enough to cleave down some of the tree. As Sora recoil back from using his attack from at least a second, Kakashi took this chance to throw a Shuriken towards Sora. Seeing this, Sora jumps up into the air to evade the shuriken, but Kakashi throws another set.

Sora: Shadow clone!

Sora, however, instantly uses his Shadow Clone Technique to produce a shadow clone in mid-air to pull him out of the shuriken's trajectory. His move impresses both Kakashi and Sarada.

Kakashi: Impressive...

Sarada(mind): Nice. He was trapped in mid air so he use his Shadow Clone to move himself out of the way.

As Sora land back on the ground, he once again intend to do a flying slash and hurl it at Kakashi. However, Kakashi manages to grab Sora's hand before he can throw it, telling Sora that his attack would not work.

Kakashi: That'll be enough of that.

Kakashi(mind): He's growing up right before my eyes. Not only that.

Looking at his back, he saw Sora manages to have a shadow clone sneak up on Kakashi with a sword as well; his timing and usage of his shadow clones impresses Kakashi once more, as well as All Might, Izuku, the teachers and everyone else, who are observing the fight from the monitor.

Kakashi: You've matured, Sora. However, you still have a ways to go, it's obvious you're as impatient as ever. You attack before I even had a chance to say start.

Sora:...

Sarada:...

Kakashi: Now let's start this properly.

Hearing this, both Sora and Sarada became even more prepared. After he begins the match, Kakashi disappears from their sight. It was one of Kakashi's original technique known as Purple Flash, an instantaneous movement that allows him to move several hundred meters of diameter at an astonishing speed. Though the recoil that led towards one's body is bigger than Sarada's Godspeed. Even so Kakashi manages to got away.

Sora: Tch... He got me.

Sarada: You big dummy!

Despite their banter, Sora and Sarada immediately scout the area. Sarada's eyes focused into the greatest limit. Knowing that they only had 3 hours to get the bells, she knew they couldn't waste time. Her eyesight which she had improved greatly due to not being able to keep up with her own speed nows able to track high speed movements with ease. Looking at the trail of lightning that Kakashi had left which were front, right, left, above, and behind, Sarada had seen through them all.

Sarada(mind): The only place without a trail is...

Clenching her fist tightly, Sarada gathered her already superhuman strength, alongside her newly controlled aura whom she had learned from her Mother, she slammed her fist down onto the ground.

Sarada: CHA-NARAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the impact from her fist towards the ground was not pleasant. Because the ground shattered a meter deep below the ground. And the impact itself spread like wildfire onwards towards the entrance of the forest.

Sora: O_O Eh....?

Sora who tumble himself due to the wave of destruction that Sarada conjured was left momentarily stun. And the people watching from the monitor all were left speechless, because Sarada's strength has also improved tremendously.

Class 1A: O_O

All Might: Monster...

All Might groan at the sight thinking to himself about the Three Generations of monster from Sarada to her Mother Sakura and then towards Sakura's mentor as well.

Kakashi: O_O Wh-What ridiculous strength. Looks like she not only learn how to control her speed but also precise aura control from Sakura eh...

Sarada: Kakashi-sensei. Found you.

Jumping up from the rubble, Kakashi tries to asses Sarada's current strength.

Kakashi(mind): She infuses her aura inside then focuses into her fist and release them all at once. Something like that requires incredibly precise aura control. Medical power, combined with superhuman speed and a monstrous strength. She might just become a Hero that surpasses both Sasuke and Sakura.

Knowing he couldn't just hide, Kakashi vows his revenge.

Kakashi: You had your chance, now it's my turn.

Even though he said all this, Kakashi once again uses his Purple Flash to disappear into the forest.

(Timeskip)

One hour had passed and the exams continues forwards, Kakashi runs through the woods as he spots both Sora and Sarada's hiding behind their trees. He believes it to be a rookie mistake, and reminisces back to their first bell test, where Sora and Sarada's could barely hide their presence and the two were defeated immediately. He is awakened from memory lane by a Thunderclap Arrow hurtling towards him, thrown by Sora.

Kakashi: ?!

As he evades the attack, Sora rushes in with his sword drawn. He was using his newly gained technique Tempest; Zephyrus in order to increase his strength and speed while also conserving his stamina. Kakashi met Sora's attack with a knife of his own deflecting Sora's horizontal slashes with a vertical slash. While the two opposing fighters pass towards one another, Kakashi uses his mobility to throw another Shurken right towards Sora. However, Sora barely avoided the attack by using one of the tree branch to do a flip. And as they did, the two opposing fighters landed on the ground glaring at each other, while Sarada stood next to Sora.

Sora and Sarada:...

Kakashi: Okay... time for today's lesson. This is Hero battle skills rule number one, martial arts.

With this, a close combat quarter between a teacher and a students begin. Kakashi rushes towards Sora with a speed like no other despite not using his Quirk yet. He always had a talent when it comes to speed. It is without a doubt that Kakashi is the fastest out of all the teachers that teaches in U.A. competing even with Sora who had his Tempest; Zephyrus on. Sora who had his sword right at his front shows no opening for an attack prepare himself as he launch a Horizontal slash aim at Kakashi's chest only for the latter to parry his attack by slapping his arm away. Then continuing on his attack, Kakashi went for a flip horizontal right kick to which Sora dodges the attack by ducking his head down, just as he does so he jumps upwards into the tree to avoid another frontal kick from Kakashi's left feat.

Sarada: Gotcha!

Sarada comes from behind and uses her monstrous strength and superhuman speed go for a barrages of punches, still, her fist is far short into reaching towards Kakashi's amazing reflexes as he continue to dodge the attack.

Kakashi: It won't do any good if you can't hit me.

Despite his taunt, Kakashi's mind was on full alert knowing one hit means a one way ticket into the hospital. It was a battle of speed and precision, Purple Flash against Godspeed. It all comes down who could get the upper hand. Growing impatient by her attack not reaching, Sarada decided to break the ground beneath him.

Kakashi: That was a close one.

Sora: Shadow clone!

Kakashi heads for the tree branches, only for Sora use his Shadow Clone technique and send multiple shadow clones against him. Kakashi decides to use martial arts to deal with the clones. One punch towards the head, one towards the gut, a kick on the stomach, and an elbow punch towards the abdomen; however, after there are only three clones remaining, Kakashi uses the wrap scarf that Aizawa-sensei uses to bind his enemy on the three Sora shadow clones.

Sora: Dancing leaf Shadow?

Sarada: One of Kakashi-sensei's trait to steal and copy a person's technique and made it his own?

Sora and Sarada recognising the technique as one Rock Lee uses, a Hero who work a Sora's Dad's agencies. After the three shadow clones are taken care of, Kakashi wonders where the real one is, only for the real Sora to announce his presence and come barrelling at Kakashi with the intent of using One Thousand Years of Death.

Sora: Take this. One Thousand Years of Death.

Kakashi: Aaah...!

Kakashi, horrified at the mere thought of being struck by that technique, evades the attack and retreats.

Sora: Darn it.

Kakashi: I remember when this use to be a lot easier.

Kakashi rewind the time where he had a lot of fun dealing with Sora and Sarada when they were just kids. Now a teen Sora and Sarada had become too much for him. Despite being water and oil with one another, their teamwork is impeccable that it leaves Kakashi and the other teachers impressed. For once, Aizawa was wrong with his assessment thinking that Sora and Sarada might not be able to work together.

Shota(mind): I guess those two got me this time.

Sora and Sarada continue to head through the woods to find Kakashi, however as they do, they were met with multiple traps that Kakashi had set in his hiding. Working together, with Sarada's eyesight and Sora's Shadow Clone, they easily fend off the traps one by one.

Sarada: Sora! The 5th tree at 3 o'clock!

Sora: Rasengan!

Sarada, while dispelling one of the trap, pinpointing Kakashi's true location. Sora prepare his Rasengan, using it on the tree that Kakashi is hiding behind. Kakashi manages to dodge the Rasengan, and ponders on a time when it was easier to fool Sarada with a traps.

Sarada: Well, Kakashi-sensei. Would you mind indulging us by another lesson.

Kakashi: 😮‍💨 Hero battle skills rule number two, always use your surroundings areas to lure your opponent.

Sora: We wouldn't be that stupid to fall for the same trick.

Kakashi: Really, I wouldn't be so sure.

Sora claims that he would never fall for any of Kakashi's old tricks, only to spot the bells on the floor. Exclaiming that Kakashi must have dropped them while dodging, Sora rushes towards them before Sarada can stop him.

Sarada: No wait!

Kakashi: ^_^ You see? You still fall for the same old tricks!

Sora is ensnared by a rope before he can get the bells, prompting Kakashi to state that Sora still falls for the same old tricks.

*Poof*

Kakashi: Eh...?

Sora: There's no way I'll fall for that old trick!

However, the Sora trapped by the rope turns out to be a shadow clone while the real Sora, claiming an old trick like that would not work on him, rushes from behind and punches Kakashi right in the face, only for the latter to use a Purple Flash and retreat once more.

Sora: -_- Seriously? Purple Flash again?

Sarada: Why don't you ever listen to me, you blockhead!

(Timeskip)

Another hour has passed and Sora and Sarada are still attempting to take the bells from Kakashi.

Kakashi: Time for the final lesson. Hero battle skills rule number three; Quirks!

Kakashi manages to predict their moves using his experience as a strategist during his Hero days and he unleashed his Quirks at an astonishing speed.

Sora: This is...!

Sarada: Lightning encirclement!

Sero: I can't believe it...!

Tokoyami: No matter how good a person is with their Quirks, doing something like that is...!

Sora and Sarada looked around in shock. Izuku and the rest of the students were watching with disbelief. All around the stage, there were dozens of purple lightning rounds floating in the air. A series of depth charges set using the Quirk's standby phase. With his experience as a veteran Hero and his supreme Quirk control, he had maintained the purple lightning rounds already set while moving around the circle, laying out even more. Even though Sarada had identical Quirks herself, she couldn't begin to do that sort of feat.

The dome of magic shots resembled a dreadful starry sky. The total number of the lightning arrows set was 1000. Sora's eyes narrowed as he looked all around at the arrows, every last one aimed at him.

Kakashi: Now then, let see if you can survive this.

Sora and Sarada: ?!

With their danger instinct came into play, both students instinctively move from the spot they were in. And a volley of purple lightning arrows struck down where the to of them had been.

Sora: Ghhh!

Sarada(mind): The speed when he unleashed his Quirks is unreal!

Sora who was just slammed by purple lightning, and despair claws at him when he realize another round was already coming as Sora quickly move to evade it with all his might.

Kakashi: Purple Hildr.

A fusillade of purple lightning falls. Each bolt was a swift arrowhead the size of their head, pouring down all around Sora and Sarada as if fired by a whole regiment of soldiers. Sarada manage to avoid the first few blasts, but after that, she falter and clumsily absorb a hellish number of strikes. Luckily thanks for having identical Quirk, Sarada take less damage then the intended to. But for Sora is a different story.

Sora: Dammit!

Shot, burned, chipped, and electrified. Even the blood spattered around him is scorched and comes to a boil. While dodging, he unleashes power waves of Wind Blade from his sideways slash and vertical swing of his sword. The swing of the sword send ripples of Wind Blade aiming towards the volley of lightning that was coming down towards him, and the impact was several explosion covering the three of them in smoke.

Even if it was temporarily to buy time, it was more than enough for him.

Sora: Tempest; Vortex Spiral!

Using some of his reserve strength that he had accumulated using Tempest; Zephyrus, Sora activates Vortex Spiral. Using his usual Wind armor, he created a cyclone of tornado to absorb the attack for him instead, and the result was flawless. Most of the purple arrows were pull in by the wind pressure of the moving cyclone, the ones army of purple arrows diminish in a blink of an eye.

Sora: Okay, now where is he?

Sora who had to close his eyes due to the aftermath of the his and Kakashi's attack starts to look around to find Kakashi's whereabouts because he had vanished once again. But Kakashi wouldn't give Sora any time to think, because he had strike first. He had grabbed Sora by the leg.

Sora: !!

Kakashi: Headhunter Suicide Decapitation!

Sora who saw Kakashi's hand coming out from underground was too shock to react on time as he was pulled down towards the ground. Well underground was anything but pleasant, because not only did he received multiple punch and kicks from Kakashi, his head is the only thing that was popping out, making him look like a man who had his body cut down leaving only a head. Once Kakashi was down, he had dug his way out and look at Sora, but sadly for him...

*Poof*

Kakashi: Another Shadow Clone...

Hearing footsteps from behind, he saw Sora and Sarada rushing towards him with incredible speed and determination to get the bell. However crushing their hopes and prayers for them, Kakashi once again launch another attack that truly drains the life to those who've seen it. It was an attack like no other and unbecoming of a teacher. Because, Kakashi had summoned a huge wave of lightning up in the sky that drew the attention of many people, students and teachers alike. From above was a massive purple dragon made out of pure lightning. Though this could be considered on a smaller scale because if Kakashi had unleashed its true strength, Sora and Sarada will die. This one will only knock them out.

Sora and Sarada: !!

Kakashi: If you can't handle this, then that is your limit.

With that words, Kakashi unleashes his attack.

Kakashi: Shiden no Ryu!

Sora: Dragon Fist; Explosion!

Sarada: Chidori; Mikazuchi!

Sora and Sarada immediately unleashed their strongest attack to counter the oncoming Dragon that was coming towards them at the speed of sound. Their bodies moving almost ethereal speed as Sora and Sarada's fist punch through the air combining their attack. Light and Dark blue aura shot forth, cutting through the purple lightning and colliding with Kakashi's purple dragon. The resulting explosion of steam and energy crackled in the air obscuring the battlefield in a hazy mist.

Kakashi: *pant*pant*

Sora: Dammit...! We can't win like this...!

Sarada: Let's regroup for now and revise our strategy.

(Timeskip)

Unable to land a hit on Kakashi, Sora and Sarada have no choice but to retreat and devise a new strategy. Kakashi also retreats, remarking how his Quirk is exhausted by Sora and Sarada's efforts. With only 30 minutes remaining before the timers runs out.

Kakashi: I never thought they'd give my Quirk such a workout. But I should be able to hold em down for the remaining time. Still got plenty of shurikens and kunai, and Make out Tactics...

He contemplates taking the time to finish his Icha Icha book, but remembers that Sora and Sarada are too tough for him to fight while simultaneously reading.

Kakashi: No I better not. It's not like the old days when I could fight them off and read a book at the same time. Still, I was so impressed by how much those two have improved, and let myself get carried away. From now on I'm gonna wait and let them make the first move.

(Elsewhere)

Sarada: We had no chance in getting near those bells unless we caught him off guard.

Sora: Yeah, no surprise there. I'd mean you expect Kakashi-sensei to be a powerful Hero despite already retiring.

Sora remarks how Kakashi's intelligence exceeds Shikamaru's, how his sense of smell is greater than a beast type human, how his martial arts surpasses that of Naruto's and how his uses of Quirks is more quirkier than Sasuke's.

Sora: And he has more experience than any of us combined.

Sarada: Still, is there any ways to catch him off guard?

Nonetheless, Sarada states that a great hero like him must have some sort of a weakness.

Sora: Well, it's all for nothing at this point. I guess I have to unleash that technique.

Sarada: Huh...? Are you saying you have another hidden move.

Sora: Well, its not that I was hiding it or anything, its just that I dismiss it since it doesn't pack much of a punch like my other moves, but if its to catch him off guard, to me its the best chance we get.

Sarada: Alright then, spill it. What's this best chance you got?

After deliberating on the thought, Sora figure out a way to get Kakashi off guard and shares it with Sarada.

Sarada: I see. It is indeed a brilliant plan, but your timing needs to be perfect.

Sora: And that's where your speed will come in.

Sarada: If it work, then it will be the only time where we don't have to worry about his martial arts or him activating his Quirks.

Sora: And that's where we take the win.

Sarada: Then what are we waiting for? Times are wasting, it's up to us to make the first move.

Finally after finalizing their plan, the pair then track down Kakashi and launch a frontal attack. Kakashi was surprised by this because its unbecoming of the two of them to do a frontal assault.

Kakashi: A frontal attack, huh? Getting a little overconfident aren't you?

Sora: We'll see about that?

Sora charges his frontal assault. Lowering his hip, he readies his katana. His eyes locked on Kakashi who readies his twin kunai surrounded with purple lightning making the knife longer like a short sword. They clashed, streaks of wind and purple lightning. Sarada on the other hand charges her attack for the finishing blow. Seeing this, Kakashi changes his target, reversing course.

Sora: Not on my watch, Kakashi-sensei.

Kakashi: Still too naive, Sora.

The distance between them melted away. The wind gathered in Sora's right hand; Kakashi's clenched his twin knife with swirling electricity. And the instant their attack's collided—

Sora: Gh!

Sora's right arm was drifting. A thrust from the right. The trajectory of the attack was plain to see. The silvered-haired teacher wouldn't miss it. He swung with all his strength to defeat Sora's attack and cut him down in the process.

Sora: Nrraaah!

Kakashi: ?!

What had happened next was completely out of the blue for everyone. Students, teachers alike. Kakashi was blown backwards. Kakashi groan in pain towards his chest where his heart is. What he had seen was beyond his great mind could think. It was a small and translucent, but it was there. A Rasengan.

Kakashi(mind): When did he?!

Kakashi didn't see Sora conjuring a Rasengan at all. It was as if the attacked was delayed, and Sora had created the Rasengan beforehand. Well whatever the reason, it was a clean hit. Sora's surprise attack had completely broke through Kakashi's defense. For the first time, the never unwavering White Fang staggered, leaving a huge opening.

60 seconds before time runs out.

Sora: Sarada!

Sarada: CHA-NARAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Sarada rejoice at the supposed plan work. Not wanting to miss the one and probably only chance for victory, Sarada took actions. She activated her Godspeed and rushes forwards arms and fist readied at her target. Unable to ready his Quirk on time, Kakashi opened his eyes widened as Sarada struck him down with her strength.

50 seconds before time runs out.

Sarada: Uuuuuuuryaaaaaaa!

Kakashi: Gaaaaah!

Her fist slammed into his right side. White Fang's body left the ground, floating upward. He coughed up blood, his eyes unfocused. Sarada immediately rained down a furious salvo of punches.

30 seconds before time runs out.

Sarada: Not yeeeeeeeet!!!

Kakashi:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~?!

Her fists pummeled Kakashi's face, chest, shoulders, stomach. The one and only person whose strength almost on par with All Might began a one-sided onslaught.

Sarada: CHA-NARAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Her powerful fist of light wrapped in blue electricity slammed into Kakashi. Mikazuchi Kunoichi didn't miss a single shot as her barrage blasted White Fang into the trees.

10 seconds before time runs out.

Kakashi: Gh......ah...?!

As the storm of electricity particles faded, it was obvious what terrible condition Kakashi was in. And then—

*Swirl*

Sora: —

It was Sora's turn. With the great wind accumulated, Sora unleashed all the power he had into this one attack. A pure blue Rasengan like his clear blue eyes gathered on his right hand. Kakashi froze as the boy closed the distance and sent his right hand flying forward.

Sora: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Canon Strike. Kakashi's eyes sprang open as it slammed directly into his chest. And—

Sora: RASENGAN!!!

A massive explosion engulfed them.

Kakashi: ?!

A Wind Canon drove into Kakashi's chest and blew him away.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

At the same time, as Sora's attack landed the a giant bell rang vibrantly through the air signaling the end of the exams. 3 hours had passed since the start of the exams. And for Sora and Sarada to pass, they need to steel the bells.

Aizawa: Alright! That concludes Uzumaki and Uchiha's exams!

Izuku: It's over!

Ochako: What's the result?

Tenya: Did they pass?

Shoto: Or will they fail?

Sora and Sarada's classmate watch with concern. All of them held their breath watching with great anxious to see whether their friends had passed or failed the test.

Kakashi: Guh...?!

Kakashi who were hit by Sora and Sarada's attack groan in pain on his chest, but he was still more than strong enough to stand. Seeing Sora and Sarada smiling at him, Kakashi pretty much knew the answer and he smile too.

Sora: A Hero must see through deception.

Sarada: Isn't that right, sensei?

Kakashi: Haha... You've passed.

Sora and Sarada take the opportunity to show the bells that they had taken from him, successfully passing the test, while everyone in the monitored cheered. Kakashi muses over his students performance, proud that they can both grow stronger because they smile in the face of adversity. With this concludes the practical exams for the First Year Class A Final Exams have been completed.
