Rose POV:

The heck....

The actual HELL was that!?

What??...like- WHAT!? SINCE WHEN CAN I DO THAT?!

I remember staying on top of that robot for a short minute and tried to recall what in all fuckery just happened. "Move it!!" A kid shoving past me reminded me of the competition at hand. I didn't have time to think. I needed to keep moving.

"Crap..." I could figure out that glitch at a later time but now I needed to focus. I had sprinted off the bot and ran towards the next obstacle.
How can I be so far behind!?

I was way behind the leading group and there was little to no time to get up farther.
Guess I can kiss top ten behind...or more like twenty...
I could see that I was in around the sixties of the ten billion kids running. I couldn't even come close to winning if I just ran like anyone else.

While sprinting through the track, I felt behind my back to see if the bag was still there. Thankful for that velcro strip hanging by a thread, I slung it over my front to look through while glancing up at the track in front of me.
Come onnnn sister needs a gun...

When I get back I'll have owed Q two thank you's cause he really pulled though with this one. I had just about all the practical gadgets and weapons that I could already plan out uses for.

A pair of shiny silver spheres quickly grabbed my attention.
Can I really do that...? These guys have worked hard too I don't know if I can play dirty.....
..oh grow a pair! They started it. You wouldn't need to do it if that icy hot kid didn't sabotage everyone. Besides it's not technically cheating...

I wasn't proud of it but my more vengeful thoughts and Midnight very clear "do whatever your heart desires!" got the best of me. "Sorry!!" With a short warning to the people behind me, I chucked each sphere on opposite sides. The instant they hit the ground, the sensor kicked in and expanded out to grip the dirt. I quickly hit the activation button on a small controller to set my plan in motion. The sphere, now flat in the ground so more like elevated disk thingy, shot a thick metal wire up and out. The magnet laid on top of the right disk lit up and quickly attracted the metal wire. I had to hold my arm back feeling that surprisingly strong magnet tug on it.

Well I'll be a helluva genius cause the wire, now strung horizontally across the track, tripped the kids not wise enough to jump. Once the first line was down it was a trainwreck for everyone else. I almost felt bad for them. Almost.

Just my luck would have it as soon as I got ahead of a few more kids, I came across round two of the "robo inferno". Some of the bigger bots from the entrance exams stood tall at us while we slowed down. Going around them wasn't an option cause those things were big and fast. I stood in front of them and grabbed out anything I could use. My normal guns weren't strong enough to take down these things in one go and I didn't have time to take more than one shot. I also didn't have my tag team buddy to use the scythe and shield with so I was stumped.

I stood in front of this monster and held my breath thinking of something- anything to do, when I heard an unimpressed, "tsk".

"How sad...they obviously went through a lot of trouble, but I wished they had prepared this to be at least some what of a challenge. Professional heros work here and this is the best they could do? A real let down, UA..."

I had thought I knew where that cold voice came from, but icy hot was way far ahead. I looked behind me to the kid, chick actually, who was pretty disappointed in the contest. But come on mystery chick you're pretty far behind to be so judgemental.
"I suppose you must be really good to be the one to critique-"

"Don't patronize me." She swiftly, and honestly a little offended, said before walking in front of me to stand at the feet of the machines. "'Pretty good'? This is child's play..." And blah blah she went on with some more nonchalant arrogance and monologuing- you know honestly I kinda stopped listening. I really couldn't pay much attention to what she was going on and on about, and more focused on her eyes. I wasn't sure what it was about them, but it was all I could focus on at that moment. Those bright, soul crushing, green eyes with a yellow-green perpendicular cross that seemed to glow. Man, those eyes were scary. She could be a completely pleasant person and I wouldn't give two shits, as long as she had those really intense eyes, she was someone I'm probably better off avoiding.

I took out Eyno, my super fancy shield, and got ready to cover myself from the debris. Judging by the handful of people behind me with actual quirks that were getting ready to fight and this haughty chick with evil eyes in front of me, I could hope that I won't need to work too hard to get by.

Speaking of Ms. Vain, the bold gal barely gave me a glance before clapping her hands together and glaring at the robots ahead. Her hands quickly made contact with the ground and in the same second without taking a breath, fifty chains shot up from the depths of hell to all seize the bots at once. The chains looked to be composed of..dirt? or whatever this ground was made of. They tied around the machines and held them down. This bitch without a blink clapped her hands and slapped the robot on the ground to instantly make metal chains that tore the standing bots to pieces.

I, along with anyone behind me, stood dead in out tracks and watched this actually kinda impressive show she put on. The chick glanced back from us, looking more arrogant at our jaws only a little dropped. "Game on opponents. I wish you wannabes a good match and good luck.... you'll need it." Right as she waltzed away from her dismembered pile of robots, the green-eyed chick flicked her wrist making a small but oh so dramatic explosion that she ran out in.
I wanna hate her but that was too cool

Another kid with bright yellow hair and a black lightning bolt through it- oh wait hey that's pikachu from 1A! wait I don't care nevermind- ran up right as the ice queen bolted. He stopped to catch his breath and think about how to get out, taking a look at the girl as she fled the scene. He croaked out through breaths while holding his hands on his knees, "She's hot but she's evil..." Well he wasn't wrong but we don't have time to chat with Great Value brand Shazam.

I grabbed more gadgets out of my seemingly endless bag and held them in my hands, five swift net bombs. If I threw them out now and kids get caught then they'll think it was apart of the course. Well it's not like I'm shooting for best sportsmanship.

I threw the bombs out and towards my opponents and set the timer to capture anyone near in five seconds. Then I ran while holding the sheild in one hand and a pistol in the other. After the exams I decided to research these tin cans that beat my ass once already and lucky enough I remembered a few sensitive areas that will hopefully detonate when damaged. Fingers crossed.

The shield protected my head and neck pretty well while I ran through the area, causing a hell of a lot of damage the more I went through. I kinda feel bad for Pikachu who was close behind me and likely getting the worst of my catalytic spree but he's a hero kid so he could handle it.

I ran, ran, then ran some more.
And when I finished all that I got rewarded with more running!
Oh boy let's hope I get a side of running with this run!
Lucky lucky me indeed.

So yeah I did that whole thing until I reached it:

The fall...

Oh merciful crap
