The U.A. High School Entrance Exam is one of the most intense trials for aspiring heroes. The practical portion requires students to take down large combat robots in a designated testing arena. These robots, known as Villain Bots, come in different point values based on their size and difficulty: 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point bots. However, there is also a zero-point robot, a towering, nearly unstoppable machine meant to test a student's judgment rather than their combat ability. The exam isn’t just about strength—it evaluates strategic thinking, teamwork, and heroism.

Watching from above, Principal Nezu, the highly intelligent, animal-like head of U.A., observes alongside pro heroes and teachers like Eraserhead, Present Mic, and Midnight. Nezu, despite his small size, possesses an incredible intellect and enjoys orchestrating challenging tests for students. He analyzes the potential of each applicant, looking beyond raw power to see who has the qualities of a true hero.

Meanwhile, heroes like All Might, though keeping his involvement secret, watch with interest. The test is more than a battle—it's a chance for students to prove they can be selfless, adaptable, and brave. Those who excel aren’t just strong fighters but those who act to save others, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

Bakugo stood amidst the wreckage, his hands still smoking from the explosions that had torn through the robots. His breath came in ragged pants, his chest rising and falling rapidly. A wild, almost feral grin stretched across his face, eyes gleaming with fierce determination. The battlefield around him was littered with debris, proof of his raw power.
