At 1-A Meeting Point

As the H/C haired teen was walking towards the area, he saw that the rest of the class were already there, sadly, Aizawa was there along with the teachers. Letting out a small sigh as Y/N approached them.

Y/N: I'm here.

Iida: You should be more early than this Y/N. It is not very punctual for a hero to be late.

Y/N: Yeah, yeah. I get it Iida.

He said as Iida sighed knowing that this would happen for more than once as soon enough, Aizawa notices him and looked at him.

Aizawa: Good enough to show you at this time liked I asked you.

Y/N: Teacher's orders, well, I know there is a catch.

Aizawa: Well, the catch is that, you're not part of a team that the teachers will battle.

He said simply as the class was surprised, knowing that he is a Kamen Rider, means that he has some sort of favoritism magnet. But for Y/N, it wasn't the case.

Y/N: Then who will I battle with? This wouldn't be a final exam if I can't able to do the practicals.

Aizawa: Seems that you're observant. Very well, someone from the outside had volunteered to be the practitioner, in that case, the principal had contacted him personally.

He said as Nezu nodded looking at Y/N for the moment as he explained about the mysterious person.

Nezu: I only managed to ask him, but he insisted on bringing his personal guard with him. That means that you and Mr. Storm had the same situation.

Y/N: Both of us have the same situation huh.

He said as he thought about it, thinking who could the principal had contacted to, nonetheless, he let out a small sigh as he followed the students, knowing that his fight would not begin shortly as they went in.

Timeskip

As the last paired battle was over, Y/N took a deep breath, knowing that his battle will begin, earning a look at Aizawa as he signals him to go to the area where he and his mystery opponent is. As he was about to head out, his classmates cheered him on.

Ochaco: Good luck Y/N!

Iida: May you take this exam seriously.

Tsuyu: Good Luck!

As the class said their wishes, Y/N only smiled and flashed a thumbs up, walking out as he heads over to his examination location. The city was filled with no one, Y/N took his time to look around as he saw someone very familiar in front as he stopped.

Y/N: It's been a while, Izu.

He said as he smiled, seeing the female humagear bowed towards him as she smiled.

Izu: It has been Y/N. Please, President Aruto is waiting for you.

Y/N: So, that means Fuwa is Jack's opponent.

Izu: Yes, now, shall we?

She asked as Y/N nodded, walking behind her as she takes him to where Aruto is. After a short walk, they reached the end of the area, seeing that Aruto was standing behind the exit was nothing to be surprised about.

Y/N: Who knew that we would meet up again like this, pres.

Aruto: Yeah, I hoped that you improved Y/N.

He said as he showed his driver, placing it on his waist as Y/N spread his arms to the side as he kept his look on him.

Y/N: Build.

He said as the driver was on his waist, holding the Rabbit and Tank Fullbottles as he shakes them.

Izu: He is going to put his heart on this battle president.

Aruto nodded as Izu walked away from the two, as Aruto holds the progrise key as he press the side of it.

Progrise Key: Jump!

Y/N stopped as he twisted the cap, placing the bottles on their respective slot, while Aruto placed the progrise key on the sensor of his driver.

Build Driver/01 Driver: Rabbit! Tank! Best Match!/Authorize!

The both of them got ready, Y/N was turning the lever as a giant green grasshopper jumped around Aruto. The class was quiet, the moment that they saw the two of them sent chills as the fight was about to begin, making Y/N stopped as his armor was set.

Build Driver: Are you ready?

Y/N/Aruto: Henshin!

Build Driver/01 Driver: Hagane no moonsault! Rabbit! Tank! Yeah!/Progrise! To-bia ga rise! Rising Hopper! A jump to the sky turns into a rider kick!

The two of them stared at each other as shortly after both of them charged as they exchanged punches, blow by blow they managed to hit their marks as they manage to make a separation.

Izu: Aruto-saccho.

She said as she tosses him his Attache Calibur as Build manages to take out his Drill Crusher as the both of them get ready for another round.

The both of them swing their swords as they trade blows, managing to make it an even fight as Build kept on swinging as Zero-One was on the defence.

01: Woah, you've truly improved. But, it isn't enough!

He said as he jumped up at a high pace as he presses the side of his driver looking down at Y/N.

01 Driver: Rising Impact!

Build saw this as he hurriedly run towards the exit, only for having to be sent back by an explosion as he flew back to where he was making it easy for Zero-One to deliver the attack. He extended his leg as he manages to hit Build, sending an explosion as the fight was over.

Voiceover: Rising Impact!

Zero-One landed across from him as he looked at the smoke, seeing that the fight was now over.

01: Good thing I managed to set up a trap before you got here. Invisible land mines, who knew it would work.

He explained as he thought that the opponent he had defeated was done, but he was wrong. Across from him as the smoke settles down, it was Y/N standing up, looking weakly as he stares at Zero-One.

Y/N: Looks like I still have to work on. But, seeing you standing isn't going to cut it. I needed to be strong for them, so I can protect them with my life.

He said as he slowly stood straight, panting as his costume was a little teared up as Zero-One looked at him for the moment.

Y/N: But, to think that if I can't even pass this one, it wouldn't be much of a hero of me right? That's why...

He paused as he let out his hand to the side, his Build Driver was still on his waist as he look at Zero-One.

Y/N: I won't let them down! Rabbittank Sparkling!

He yelled as out from his hand was a can, having a staple rabbit and tank design as he started to shake it, opening the top of it as a pop was heard and placed it on the slot.

Build Driver: RabbitTank Sparkling!

He held on the lever as he started to turn it, this was his chance, to see if he improved or not. But in Zero-One's eyes, he had improved. His will and strength had improved significantly.

Build Driver: Are you ready?

Y/N: You know I am. Henshin!

Build Driver: (Techno rock music) Shuwatto Hajikeru! RabbitTank Sparkling! Yea-Yeahhh!

As a refreshing pop and a shower of fizz was over, he was donning the same armor only to have an additional white accents as Build got ready.

He charged up to Zero-One at a fast pace, throwing a punch at him as he didn't blocked it on time as he made a direct contact. Zero-One sent on flying as Build sent an uppercut after, sending him to the top as Build is about to end the match for good, he cranked the lever as he jumped up.

Build Driver: Ready, go!

A spiral graph appeared as it was aiming at Zero-One, making Build to deliver the attack. He extends his leg as he went in the hole, bubbles came out to the other end as it hit on Zero-One, as Build's kick made its mark as Build landed near the exit as Zero-One landed on the other end, he turned back to normal as Build panted.

Both Build and Cross-Z managed to defeat their enemies as both Build and Cross-Z walked out of the area, hearing a buzz was the most accomplishing thing they have achieved. They improved and managed to get a second form for themselves as they held their head up high, managing to utter a word.

"Passed."
