"Being recommended for admission naturally means that their strength isn't weak, but this doesn't match what's on his profile at all," Ryukyu said, her gaze fixed on Ezaki Kitazawa.
"Listening to you, it really seems that way. This person is starting to seem more and more complicated," the assistant murmured.
"It looks like the focus of this recommendation admission test isn't just Endeavor's son anymore," Ryukyu said with an intrigued smile.
······
In the gymnasium, the voice of Present Mic echoed.
"Everyone taking part in the recommendation test is undoubtedly an elite student who has been selected for their strong control over their Quirk."
"But... there are only four spots for U.A.'s recommended students. The ones who make it into these spots are the top of the top. Now, let the battle begin!"
"Don't worry about getting hurt. With Recovery Girl here, she's always ready to ensure your safety."
"So, unleash your passion and fight!"
As Present Mic's voice faded, the crowd erupted in cheers.
At this moment, in the east corridor...
"It's rare to see this. I didn't expect Endeavor to personally come and watch the U.A. recommendation test," the principal said calmly as he walked to the fence.
Endeavor glanced at the principal before his eyes returned to the center of the gym.
"Whether I watch or not, I already have a pretty good idea of the result," Endeavor said.
"Oh? You've already guessed the result? Who do you think will take first place in the recommendation test?" the principal asked with a smile.
"Hmph, do you really need me to tell you who will be first? You should know already," Endeavor replied flatly.
He had already reviewed the list of students taking the recommendation test. While some had great potential, none of them could surpass Todoroki Shoto if they went up against him.
However, what was troubling Endeavor was that as his conflict with Todoroki Shoto deepened, Todoroki Shoto had stopped using his fire powers as much.
In fact, he was willing to lose rather than use his fire abilities.
"Are you talking about Todoroki Shoto?" the principal asked.
"If he listens to me, first place in this recommendation test will be no problem," Endeavor replied.
Just as Endeavor finished speaking, a voice came from behind him.
"I don't think so!"
Both Endeavor and the principal turned around.
At that moment, Aizawa Shouta leisurely walked up to the fence and continued, "This year's recommended students are all excellent, so it's really hard to say who will take first place."
"Who are you referring to?" Endeavor asked.
"Everyone!" Aizawa said.
"Hmph!" Endeavor gave a small smirk but didn't continue speaking. He didn't take Aizawa Shouta's words seriously. He had already seen the recommendation list, and while everyone was an excellent student, that just sounded like a joke to him.
The first event in the recommendation test was the obstacle-free race, with rules similar to the one Ezaki Kitazawa had participated in before.
The only difference was that Quirks could be used here.
"Alright, no more talking. The first event, the obstacle-free race, will start soon. You can use your Quirks, and of course, bothering others is allowed," Present Mic explained slowly.
"Of course, if anyone's life is at risk, they'll immediately be disqualified," he continued.
"A race? This event is pretty boring," Ezaki Kitazawa sighed lightly.
However, after gathering some information, Ezaki Kitazawa found out that the entrance recommendation exam doesn't have 1V1 matches. The score for recommended admission is based on the points from each event.
To get first place, you have to perform excellently in every event.
Then, Present Mic started calling out the participant numbers, and everyone headed to their respective lanes to prepare.
Ezaki Kitazawa, along with Todoroki Shoto, Yaoyorozu Momo, Yoarashi Inasa, and others, was placed in the first round.
Standing on the track, Ezaki Kitazawa looked around with interest and muttered, "Interesting. Three out of the four recommended students from the original story are here."
"Good luck, Ezaki Kitazawa!" Yoarashi Inasa said enthusiastically from the side.
"Let's do our best!"
"Ready, set, go!" Present Mic shouted.
Just as everyone was about to start running, Todoroki Shoto suddenly activated his Quirk, and a thick layer of ice trapped everyone on the track.
He was the first to take off.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
But quickly, the ice shattered, and various Quirks began to show.
With the help of his own Quirk, Ezaki Kitazawa broke through the ice in front of him and quickly caught up.
