BNHA: Singularity

In response to Monoma's assertion that he enjoyed showing off, Izuku casually replied, "Showing off is one of the more important qualities of a Hero. We exist to inspire people, so it wouldn't make much sense for me to lie low."
Snorting in disdain, Monoma resisted the pain in his guy, smiling as he said, "Well, in this instance, I'm afraid it's going to cause you to have to suffer a bit of embarrassment..."
Immediately following Monoma's words, a gloved fist, flying surprisingly quickly, impacted Izuku's face. At the same time, a girl's voice could be heard exclaiming, "Ouch! Tough bastard...!" from someplace out of sight, the result of the former's face being nearly as hard as concrete.
Grabbing the hand before it could retreat, or at least a part of it, Izuku quickly inspected the 'fragment' of palm in his hand, thinking, ("I'm pretty sure I read a few doujinshis about this chick in my past life...")

------------------------
While Izuku was 'distracted,' Monoma flew toward him with reckless abandon, presumably trying to use Twin Impact, a Quirk that allowed the user to trigger a second, far more powerful blow on anything they struck with their fists. The secondary impact could even be triggered remotely, upwards of ten minutes after the initial strike, so it was a fairly powerful Quirk in capable hands.
Evading Monoma's surprise attack with a fairly casual sidestep, Izuku calmly remarked, "Sorry, but attacking me was a mistake. I have no personal grudge against you, but my Class is relying on me. As such, I'm afraid your exam ends here..."
Moving much faster than Monoma could react, Izuku extended his hand, unleashing several tendrils of Blackwhip to immobilize the princely youth before flinging him, hard, into the side of a building. In the same motion, he dodged a broad, sweeping wave of glue from Bondo, evading around it to appear before the tall and muscular boy like a dark green blur.
"Wah-!?"
Though he nearly regretted it when Bondo spewed a tremendous amount of glue, Izuku landed a heavy blow to the boy's diaphragm, forcing him to his knees. Luckily, his temporarily bolstered Agility allowed him to move faster than Bondo's projectile spittle, allowing him to avoid being covered in the incredibly sticky substance.
("Does he even have blood?") wondered Izuku, staring down at Bondo coughing up mouthfuls of glue, a similar substance leaking from his eye holes like tears...
Emerging a few meters behind Izuku, appearing as an upper body with only a single arm, a young woman with medium-length, dark-green hair, large, similarly green eyes, and notably sharp teeth shouted, "Hey, give me back that piece of my body! Don't think you can just hold onto it like that...!"
Genuinely curious, Izuku unhesitantly released the fragment of flesh, allowing it to float back to Tokage as he asked, "Can you feel pain and other sensations from the detached pieces of your body?" while picturing the green-haired girl's lower half floating around somewhere.
"Ha! Do you think I'll explain my powers to you in the middle of an exam!?" shouted Tokage, her sharp teeth on full display as she grinned from ear to ear.
Maintaining his relaxed expression and posture, Izuku remarked, "It must be so, considering you shouted after punching me in the face. Sorry about that, by the way. And for this, as well..."
Before Tokage could ask what he was sorry about, Izuku used Blackwhip to propel himself toward her like a missile. Tokage's Quirk allowed her to split her body into as many as 50 pieces, freely controlling each as if she possessed Telekinesis. More interestingly, if the detached pieces were destroyed or moved beyond a certain range, they would dissolve into a misty black substance before regenerating on Tokage's body.
Since Tokage's body was missing from her diaphragm down, Izuku didn't have a lot of places he could strike without being regarded as a pervert. As such, he created a web of Blackwhip from his wrist, causing Tokage's eyes to widen as he enveloped her entire body within a spherical cocoon before tapping his earpiece and stating, "Three enemies captured. Moving them to prison. Stay on your toes."
With Tsuyu, Shoji, and Sero responding in the affirmative, Izuku collected the bodies of Monoma and Bondo using Blackwhip before racing toward Class 1-A's detainment facility with them and Tokage in tow. The trio did their best to try and break free from their bindings, none more so than Monoma, but with Blackwhip possessing regenerative capabilities and a tensile strength comparable to spider silk, their efforts were ineffective...
...
..
.
Seeing Izuku arrive with three captives, Todoroki, serving as their team's warden, offered a curt "Good work." before creating a small gap in the ice dome he had surrounding their prison, a large, steel cage that looked like it was used to detain dangerous animals.
Depositing the trio into the steel cage, Izuku offered an apologetic smile as he said, "I hope you're able to be released before the exam ends. Next time, try and choose your target more carefully. I didn't take First Place in the Sports Festival by being weak."
Adding insult to injury, the now while Tokage loudly complained, "See, what did I tell you, Monoma-kun!? We should have played it safe and waited until we had collected a few points before attacking! Aaaaah, if I fail the Practical, I swear I'll bite your stupid head...!"
"Hmph...!"
Snorting through his nose, Monoma maintained his haughty demeanor as he argued, "If we didn't seize the initiative to attack, he would have come for us while we were focused on collecting points. Don't speak when you have no idea what-"
Before Monoma could finish telling her off, Tokage pounced on him like an angry koala, literally biting his head with her very sharp-looking teeth. At the same time, Bondo slumped in a corner of the cell, looking to be in low spirits as glue dripped from his eye holes. It was a fairly depressing sight, so Izuku left the trio to their own devices, exchanging a brief farewell with Todoroki before returning to the city's center...
...
..
.
In the wake of Izuku's departure, Tsuyu, Sero, and Shoji tried to earn some points for their team, effortlessly destroying the 1, 2, and 3-Point Villain bots using their tongue, tape, and tentacles. Tsuyu, in particular, left the two boys feeling a little helpless as her speed and agility were on another level compared to what she displayed in training.

------------------------
Using her tongue like a lightning-fast whip, Tsuyu casually 'flicked' off the head of a 3-Pointer before leaping tens of meters, briefly adhering to the side of a building before kicking off of it with enough force to send spider web cracks through the reinforced windowed plating.
Having joined up with Shoji to take on a 10-Pointer, a wry smile marred Sero's face as he remarked, "Is it just me, or have all the girls in our Class become super strong recently...?"
"..."
Though he had also noticed the rather explosive growth of the girls, Shoji chose not to comment on Sero's observation. It was fairly obvious to him and a few others what was happening, but they had agreed not to discuss it since Izuku was their friend. They might have said something if it looked like Izuku was two-timing or taking advantage of their classmates, but with how closely knit the girls in Class were, the only logical explanation was that they had reached a compromise of some kind...
"Stay focused..." said Shoji, splitting his tentacles to produce ten fists as he launched himself at the rampaging 10-Pointer. As he did so, Sero shot a white, tape-like substance from the 'dispensers' in his elbows, attaching the ends to two different buildings before retracting them rapidly, flinging himself into the air like a slingshot. He was one of the few people in Class 1-A who hadn't realized what was going on, but he didn't press the matter as now was neither the time nor the place for idle conversation...
...
..
.
In the midst of Izuku's return trip to the city center, Momo's voice came over his earpiece, ordering, "Paragon, please make your way to Point C2. Mindjack(Shinso) has requested assistance."
Tapping his earpiece, Izuku responded with a curt "Roger." before using Blackwhip to abruptly change directions, pulling himself from building to building rather than swinging like Spiderman. He had attempted it once, but that shit was terrifying...
...
..
.
As Izuku had predicted, Class 1-B had left Juzo Honenuki, Hero Name: Mudman, to defend their base. This made it nearly impossible for anyone to get inside as the entire building looked like a mud patty on the surface, meaning they would need to sift or swim through tens of meters of semi-liquid concrete, steel, and glass to have even a slight chance of attaining 1-B's briefcase.
Making things even more difficult for the reconnaissance squad, Itsuka Kendo, Hero Name: Battle Fist, had left behind many of her Class's most troublesome Quirk users to reinforce their defense. This included Kinoko Komori(Shemage), Manga Fukidashi(Comicman), Yosetsu Awase(Welder), and Jurota Shishida(Gevaudan). Komori's Quirk, in particular, was proving to be a massive pain as she was capable of spreading microscopic spores through an area, instantaneously sprouting mushrooms on whatever they touched. This included people's bodies, and if they were unlucky enough to inhale them, the mushrooms could even sprout in their lungs.
"Dammit..." groaned Shinso, plucking what must have been the hundredth mushroom from his body. Even after he had retreated from the area most affected by Komori's Quirk, mushrooms would occasionally sprout on his body, the result of each mushroom producing spores of its own.
"This is driving me crazy!" complained Toru, her invisible body covered in dozens, if not hundreds, of mushrooms. The spores reacted faster when exposed to moisture, so her particular 'Hero Costume' was a tremendous disadvantage against an opponent like Komori.
Feeling a little sorry for Toru, Ojiro scratched his cheek, averting his eyes from her mushroom-covered form as he suggested, "Why don't you pull back for the time being, Hagakure-san? There isn't much we can do now, so you should find someplace to deal with those mushrooms while we-"
Interrupting Ojiro's words, a massive, muscular figure covered in brown fur and wearing dark sunglasses smashed through the wall of the building they were huddled inside, roaring, "Found you...!" while trying to grab Toru with his enormous hand.
Reacting almost instantaneously, despite the fact he was just as surprised as Shinso and Toru, Ojiro kicked the massive, furry figure in his jaw before spinning mid-air, following up with a mighty tail whip. There was a notable difference in their sizes, but Ojiro's thick, prehensile tail was practically all muscle. He could only benchpress a few hundred kilograms with his arms, but when he used his tail, even 2000kgs wasn't out of the question.
Growing larger and even 'fluffier' than before, the feral-looking man wiped his face and roared, "Not bad! But even if you've got a kick like a truck, it'll take more than that to take me out...!"
Seemingly oblivious to the presence of Shinso and Toru, the beastly man, Juroto Shishida, charged at Ojiro on all fours. His Quirk, Beast, amplified his bestial traits even further, providing him enhanced senses, strength, and increased size. The downside was that he became more animalistic the longer he was transformed, causing him to make increasingly reckless decisions and giving him tunnel vision whenever he encountered a strong foe. In this case, that was Ojiro, so Shishida charged him with the simple-minded intention of determining which of them was stronger...
...
..
.

Reaching his Point C2 in less than a minute, the first things Izuku noticed were the melted building he assumed was Class 1-B's base, countless mushrooms, and the twin channels cutting through the goopy terrain. He assumed the latter was the result of Ida running through the area, a notion that was quickly confirmed when a clangorous 'kapow' reached his ears, accompanied by the appearance of the word itself, shattering the glass panels of a nearby skyscraper.
Making a beeline toward the destruction, Izuku found Ida in the middle of battling against a boy with a two-dimensional speech bubble in place of a head and another one with spiky black hair and a costume comprised of thick leather and metal plates.

------------------------
With Awase's Quirk allowing him to fuse both organic and inorganic matter at the subatomic level, Ida was at a disadvantage after having a series of heavy tungsten 'logs' fused to his costume. Most of them were on the left side of his body, including one in his calf, so while the weight wasn't that great, they ruined his balance and made it impossible for him to take full advantage of his speed.
"Mind if I join the party!?" shouted Izuku, dropping in on Fukidashi and Awase before they noticed his presence. The former blasted a 'gasp' at him, emerging from his startled speech bubble of a head like a train car, but Izuku pulled a Dr. Octavius, sidestepping with the use of Blackwhip as he teased, "I wonder if you produce effects when you take hits...?"
Without waiting for Fukidashi to respond, Izuku sent a fist-sized tendril crashing into the youth's stomach, causing his head to abruptly turn into an exclamation point before he collapsed to his knees. Blackwhip could extend up to a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, so it was virtually impossible for inexperienced students of Class 1-B to react to, much less evade. Not without a speed or perception-based Quirk.
Seeing how effortlessly Fukidashi was defeated, Awase abruptly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, smiling awkwardly as he said, "Let's not be too hasty now..."
"Sure," replied Izuku. "Remove the tungsten logs from Mach Turbo's body, and I'll allow you to surrender peacefully. Refuse, and we'll stress-test the durability of that metal plate covering your torso."
Emphasizing his point, Izuku picked up a piece of debris with Blackwhip, crushing it with ease. Thus, while Awase was fairly confident in both his strength and his Quirk, he made the very smart decision to concede. His Quirk required him to make physical contact with his target, so with Izuku able to move around and attack at blinding speeds, he knew there wasn't much he could do to flip the odds in his favor...Izuku was just too strong...
Freed from his restraints, Ida gave a very steep bow to Izuku, exclaiming, "I thank you for your assistance, Paragon! Please, allow me to take these two ne'er-do-wells off your hands and escort them to the prison!"
Responding with a casual, two-fingered salute, Izuku replied, "Then I'll entrust them to your capable hands," before abruptly launching himself into the air and rushing toward the sounds of destruction emanating from a few buildings away. He was starting to feel like his presence in the exam was cheating, but this was simply the reality of a Quirk-based society. Not everyone was created equally, so when incomprehensible outliers like All-for-One and All Might appeared, everyone else was reduced to rendering support or serving as a background character...
Reaching the building where Ojiro was locked in a fairly close battle with the beast-like Shishida, Izuku unhesitantly intruded on the battle, moving through the building's interior like a dark green blur, grabbing and pinning the muscular furry to one of the building's support pillars with Blackwhip.

------------------------
("Pretty strong...") thought Izuku, even though he had no trouble keeping Shishida pinned to the support pillar.
Tugging his bindings futilely, Shishida unleashed a loud, unintelligible roar that caused his body to swell visibly. More impressively, his Strength shot up to around 200 and kept climbing, but it came at the cost of his Vitality and Intelligence.
Just as Izuku was thinking Shishida was going to exhaust himself, the fur-covered youth abruptly canceled his transformation, shrinking in size just enough to allow him to escape Blackwhip's binding.
With Shishida immediately resuming his transformation after breaking free, Izuku exhaled an impressed "Hoooo?" as he evaded the powerful but increasingly slow youth.
"Your quite strong," remarked Izuku. "By the time we graduate, you may very well be at the top of your Class..."
Punctuating his words, Izuku dodged one of Shishida's highly telegraphed punches, burying his fist into the surprisingly soft fur of the youth's gut as he confidently asserted, "But the person who will stand at the very top is me..."
As even those with strength and durability-enhancing Quirks needed to breathe, Shishida toppled over just like anyone else who had had their diaphragm forcibly compressed, forcing the air from their lungs. He would have recovered much faster, but Izuku was fully aware of that, following up the initial blow with a weakened but effective knee strike to the center of Shishida's forehead, shattering his fairly expensive sunglasses.
Allowing the youth to crumple to the ground, Izuku adopted a wry smile as he remarked, "I'll be sure to buy you a replacement pair once this is over." Then, turning his attention to the astonished Ojiro, he asked, "You okay?"
Startling when Izuku addressed him, Ojiro adopted a smile of his own, replying, "Yeah..." before rubbing the back of his head. He wasn't sure of his chances against Shishida, but he was determined to keep fighting to the very end. Having Izuku come out of nowhere, blitzing and defeating his opponent with tremendous ease, felt...uncomfortable...
Causing Ojiro to feel even more awkward, Toru abruptly appeared out of nowhere, pouncing on Izuku as she exclaimed, "Izukuuuuuu, help me~!" in a frustrated, tearful-sounding tone.
Seeing the innumerable mushrooms covering Toru's body, a frown marred Izuku's face as he plucked one from her invisible shoulder. As he did so, several smaller mushrooms sprouted in its place, growing slowly but at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Recalling that Komori should possess a disinfectant that could negate the&nbsp;
endlessly proliferating spores, Izuku asserted, "Give me a few minutes. I'll catch the person responsible for this..."
Releasing Izuku's body, Toru sounded even more frustrated as she said, "Please just hurry it up...". The feeling of being covered in mushrooms was awful, especially when there were more than a few growing in areas that weren't appropriate to mention in public...
Not wanting to prolong Toru's suffering, Izuku exited through the hole created by Shishida, racing in the direction of a petite but surprisingly busty girl with honey-brown hair bobbed to resemble a mushroom. Her Hero Costume was also mushroom-themed, consisting of a turtleneck dress with long sleeves and furred cuffs. Its base was toadstool red, and it was covered in white polka dots, matching the frilly, three-tiered socks she wore over her pink stompers...

------------------------
Seeing Komori's Bond Level, Izuku nearly did a double-take. The two had never spoken before, but she apparently had quite a favorable impression of him...
Charging toward the mushroom-themed Heroine with his mask in place, Izuku stopped just short of trampling her, crossing his arms and stating, "I would rather not harm you. Hand over the antifungal spray to negate your mushroom spores..."
Adopting a somewhat creepy smile, Komori gazed up at Izuku, suspended a few meters off the ground with Blackwhip. Her single visible eye looked like the brown cap of a shitake mushroom, complete with white, x-shaped pupils. There was a perceptible glimmer of excitement within their depths, causing Izuku's serious expression to cramp as she happily replied, "Hey, there, Izuku-kun! My name is Kinoko Komori! I'm, like, one of your biggest fans...!"
Not doubting Komori's words in the least, Izuku, somewhat shamelessly, proposed, "Then that makes things simpler. If you give me the antifungal spray, I'll shake your hand or sign one of your personal effects."
Catching Izuku a little off guard, Komori cutely replied, "Ehhhhh, I don't know if that's enough of an incentive~. I could get in a lot of trouble with my classmates if I gave up without a fight..." while spreading even more of her spores using the pistol-like dispensers in her hands.
Resisting the urge to point out that he could capture and take the spray, Izuku crossed his arms and asked, "Then, what would it take for you to surrender and hand over the spray...?"
Adopting a broad smile, Komori replied, "Oh, it's simple, really. You just need to locate and retrieve the spray directly. Do that, and I'm&ndash;I mean, the spray is yours."
As Komori didn't have any visible pockets or pouches on her costume, the only places she could be keeping the spray were within her fluffy sleeves, between her breasts, or inside her skirt. Komori's flared skirt resembled the cap of a mushroom with a broad hem, a design that would doubtlessly make her very popular among her fans, so there was a 'very' good chance she had the spray strapped to her thigh.
Smiling wryly, Izuku asked, "Are you trying to get me expelled? Searching the body of a female student during an exam, even with her permission, is a good way to get reprimanded by our Senseis..."
Tapping her chin with her index finger, Komori conceded, "Hmmm...you're probably right. I might have gotten a little ahead of myself since this was our first time speaking directly. Now you probably think I'm weird, huh...?"
Instead of refuting Komori's words, Izuku gave a weak shrug, responding, "There's nothing wrong with being a little quirky. Just keep in mind there's a time and a place for everything. Coaxing a male student to search your body in the middle of an exam isn't the wisest idea..."
Laughing with a nervous, slightly bashful smile, Komori replied, "When you put it that way...it's kind of embarrassing..."
Following her words, Komori half-turned away, revealing that the spray bottle was, in fact, within her skirt as she reached beneath it to pull out a tiny container of clear liquid, holding it up as she said, "This is what you're looking for. I'll give it to you if you do me a little service first..."
Furrowing his brows slightly, Izuku replied, "That depends on what this 'service' you're referring to entails..."
Smiling radiantly, Komori replied, "Oh, it's pretty simple. Just make a heart shape with your hands and say, "Kinoko-chan is the cutest~! Mushrooms are the best~!" and I'll hand it over."
Since he would rather not beat a girl whose height barely came up to his chest, Izuku exhaled a faintly exasperated sigh before doing as Komori asked, albeit with limited enthusiasm. He might have if she were a villain or had malicious intentions, but he couldn't be overtly cruel to one of his self-professed 'biggest fans'...
...
..
.

As his uniform was one of the more difficult to wear, Izuku was among the last to arrive at the rendezvous point outside of Field Beta. There, Classes 1-A and 1-B largely formed groups with members of the same Class while the teachers, Aizawa and a tall, remarkably muscular man with spiky grey hair and orc-like fangs/tusks growing from his lower jaw, conversed off to the side.

------------------------
("What a creepy Quirk...") thought Izuku, even though he also considered it fairly OP. If not for the restriction that the user could only manipulate the blood from their body, Sekijiro Kan, better known by his Hero Name, Vlad King, could have been a monster. With the right Perks, he very well might be...
Shelving such thoughts, Izuku made his way over to where most of his Class was congregated, prompting Kirishima to raise his hand and say, "Yo, Midoriya, you finally made it."
Since he usually interacted more with the boys during Heroics-related classes, none of Izuku's harem mates tried calling out to him, allowing him to join the conversation between Kirishima and several other boys. Unfortunately, the interaction didn't last long before Vlad King bellowed, "Okay, everyone gather 'round!" in a loud, booming voice.
With Classes 1-A and 1-B briefly merging, albeit with a very clear divide between them, Vlad King began detailing the rules and restrictions of the Practical Exam. They had effectively recycled the rules from the Entrance Exam, meaning you could earn Hero and Rescue Points by defeating 1, 2, 3, and '10-Point' Villain robots. The key difference, other than the fact 0-Pointers were now worth 10 Points, was that you could attack and try to detain other students in a jail/holding area. Intentionally inflicting grievous injuries on your opponent was a no-no, but roughing them up a bit was A-Okay.
Once students were detained, they could be rescued/broken out by their other team members. This meant students had to guard those within the prison, or all their efforts to capture their opponents would be for naught. Furthermore, while defeating Villain bots was a good way to earn points, the test would only end once every member of a team had been captured or a specific objective had been achieved. Each team had been entrusted with a briefcase containing the deactivation codes for the Villain bots and was forced to defend it in a fixed location. If the opposing team managed to get their hands on your team's briefcase, obtaining and inputting the shutdown code, they would receive 1000 Points in a single go, basically making it a Snitch from Harry Potter...
...
..
.
Wearing an uncharacteristically serious expression on her face, Momo held her chin, analyzing the map their team had been provided as she said, "Since we don't know the location of the enemy team's base, we'll need to form a scouting/reconnaissance squad. We'll also need people to protect our briefcase and to guard the prison while another group focuses on defeating Villain bots...how vexing..."
As Momo's Sub-Commander, Izuku remarked, "I'm pretty sure we have the advantage when it comes to scouting and mobility, but capturing the enemy briefcase will be difficult if they have that vine girl and the guy that can liquefy his surroundings, protect it. I think the former might be their warden, but the latter is almost guaranteed to be charged with protecting the briefcase."
"Then, who do you suggest sending to capture it?" asked Mom, causing nearly everyone to shift their gazes to Izuku.
Looking toward Shinso, Izuku explained, "If we can get Shinso-kun close enough, he could disable the defense team or, at the very least, interfere with their communications. He should be in charge of the reconnaissance squad alongside Toru-san, Ida-kun, Ojiro-kun, and Tokoyami-kun."
Raising his hand, Ida remarked, "While I am certain I would be of great assistance to the reconnaissance team, would it not be better to have me focus on eliminating Villain bots and capturing enemies? With my speed, I can move around the city much faster than others."
"That's why I want you with the reconnaissance team," said Izuku. "Your primary responsibilities are to serve as a distraction and to spearhead the main assault on the enemy base. With the enemy's attention focused on you, Tokoyami-kun, and Ojiro-kun, Toru-san and Shinso-kun should have a much easier time entering the enemy base and capturing the briefcase."
Pushing up his glasses, as he was currently bereft of his white, knight-like helmet, Ida replied with a curt, "I see..." before meeting Izuku's gaze and adding," Then all I have left to suggest is that we address each other by our Hero Names during the test. Addressing each other by our true names in costume is a habit that must be broken. As such, please address me as Hyperspeed Hero: Mach Tempo!"
Smiling wryly, Izuku replied, "Sure, though I think I'll call you Tempo for short. For the remainder of this operation, you can address me as Sub-Commander or Paragon."
As he couldn't come up with a more clever Hero Name without it causing him mental and physical damage, Izuku settled on something fairly simple but relevant, dubbing himself Limit-Breaker Hero, Paragon. The latter was what he represented to this world, and with his power to boost a person's attributes and vest them Perks, it wasn't an exaggeration to say he helped them to break through their natural limits...
...
..
.
As he was too suited to fighting and capturing people, Izuku was placed in charge of the main assault/capture squad alongside Sero, Tsuyu, and Shoji, Hero Names: Cellophane, Froppy, and Tentacool. Their job was to basically run rampant near the city center, drawing as much attention to themselves and defeating as many Villain bots as possible while stopping the enemy from doing the same. As such, Izuku didn't even try to conceal himself, standing on the edge of a building's roof with a confident grin and Blackwhip forming a flickering cape behind him as he awaited the starting signal.
("I hope this looks as badass as it feels...") thought Izuku, believing his cape gave him a 'Spawn-like' ambiance. If he used it well, the functions wouldn't be all that different, leaving most of his enemies feeling helpless as the power and durability of each tendril matched his own, meaning he could block attacks, tear through buildings, and entangle his opponents with tremendous ease. And that was 'before' his boost...

------------------------
("At this point, all I really need is Float, and I'll be unstoppable among my peers...") thought Izuku, using his enhanced senses to scan the cityscape for any sign of his unfortunate opponents.
Standing next to Izuku, using his tentacles to produce more than a dozen eyes and ears, Shoji remarked, "I don't see any traces of the enemy. They may have decided to focus their efforts elsewhere."
"Perhaps..." replied Izuku. "But, as we're all training to become Heroes, it's difficult to imagine them resorting to subterfuge outright. They also don't know the location of our base, so they're probably just hiding somewhere they can observe us. We are being fairly high-profile at the moment."
Turning to look directly at Izuku, Shoji couldn't help silently agreeing with the sentiment. The former gave off the impression of a seasoned Pro, and after seeing what his 'tentacles' could do during the Sports Festival, Shoji had no doubt his power was comparable to one. If he and Izuku were to fight now, he couldn't imagine getting close, much less doing any damage to him...

Interrupting Izuku's and Shoji's 'discussion,' the sound of Aizawa's voice came over the speakers littered throughout the city, declaring, "Your one-hour prep time has expired. Begin the Practical Exam."
Following Aizawa's announcement, hundreds of 1, 2, and 3-Point robots, which had previously been in standby mode, came to life, broadcasting things like 'Kill!', 'Destroy!', and 'Exterminate All Humans!' as they began tearing through buildings and terrain in search of students.
"Finally..." muttered Izuku, the flickering of his cape becoming markedly more prominent as he pressed his finger to the earpiece in his right ear, stating, "I'm going in to try and lure the enemy. Look for opportunities to pick them off as they focus on me."
"Roger/Understood," replied Sero and Tsuyu over the earpiece while Shoji, standing next to Izuku, said, "If it looks like you're in a tight spot, I'll come to your aid," before extending one of his oversized fists.
"See you at the after party," replied Izuku, extending his fist to bump Shoji's before leaping from the 40-story skyscraper without hesitation. He felt a fluttery sensation in his stomach and a sense of vertigo as he fell, but his inordinately high Dexterity, amplified further by the power of One-for-All, allowed him to control his fall using Blackwhip like Batman's cape. Then, as he impacted the ground, performing a flawless Hero's landing, the shadowy, teal-tinged mass veiled and spread out from him, impaling several Villain bots before Izuku promptly flung them at several others.
("Oh, yeah...this is fucking awesome...") thought Izuku, rising to his feet as the tendrils reconvened in the form of a cape. The versatility of Blackwhip was amazing, and the more he increased his Dexterity, the more effective his control. Now, if he were to train against Pixie Bob or Ectoplasm, Izuku was confident he could exhaust them completely within minutes.
As one of the 3-Pointers unleashed a full volley of foam-filled missiles at him, Izuku extended his right hand, producing a tendril for each projectile, piercing them in the blink of an eye and causing them to explode before they could reach him. Immediately after that, tendrils erupted from the holes in the heels of his feet, propelling him upward like a powerful spring just as a gooey, glue-like mass attempted to envelop him.
Turning mid-way through his jump, Izuku spotted a muscular figure with broad shoulders, a slender waist, massive hands, and, most notably, a head that vaguely resembled a glue dispenser. He looked pretty creepy, especially with seven tiny eye holes from which he expelled his glue, but Izuku did his best not to be too disgusted as people with Mutation-based Quirks didn't have a say in their appearance...

("Oh? A Bond Level of 44? Did I somehow piss him off...?") wondered Izuku, even as he extended his tendrils into a nearby building, pulling himself out of the trajectory of Bondo's gluey projectiles.
Just as Izuku was about to rush forward and capture Bondo, a very arrogant-sounding voice emanated from behind him, asking, "You enjoy showing off, don't you?"
Feeling his Intuition trigger fashionably late, Izuku deadpanned as he spread out Blackwhip from his back, rounding the ends so that they were like fists instead of spears. As a result, the blonde-haired boy trying to touch him was sent reeling, but, thanks to Quirk he had borrowed from his classmate, he managed to arrest his momentum fairly quickly, holding his stomach and smiling in pain as he conceded, "That's some monstrous reaction speed you have there..." while floating in the air...
