Sure enough chaos erupted once the students of the various schools were far enough away from the starting point, and, as the sisters expected, there were a fair number that went after Class 1-A, intending on crushing those who happened to be All Might's students.

"This is to be expected: our school has the Sports Festival, so the other schools will know of our Quirks, our weaknesses, and our techniques." Selene commented, finding herself surrounded by a number of students from one of the other schools, which one she had no idea since their costumes made it hard to figure that fact out, but the fact remained that her school was going to be targeted by the others.

"That's right, this is 'UA Hunting', where we gather and eliminate students from UA." one of the other students said, with a wicked smile on their face, no doubt because they assumed that Selene would be an easy target, especially since everyone knew about Hydra and Tiger thanks to the Festival, but that just meant they weren't looking at the fact that she was nearly untouchable, "You may have two Quirks, and that weapon on your back, but you can't beat all of us."

"Funny, many have said that... all have failed." Selene stated, which was a true fact, anyone that told her they were going to bring her down had failed, as she didn't count her battles with Celestia, in this world anyway, since her sister had never said those words during all of the training they had done in the past, causing her to crouch low as she shifted into her hybrid form, "Night Hunt."

Just like before Selene used the speed of her Tiger Quirk to rush at her opponents, where she found that one of them was yet another giant type Quirk, there were too many with that type as she thought about it, though this time she wasn't even remotely annoyed since it provided her with plenty of shadows. With that in mind she slipped through the area before the group of students even realized what she was doing, in fact it looked like she might be too fast for them to see, though when Selene attacked she withheld her power as she focused on the rules of the test. She rushed by the students that were right in front of her, grabbed onto their target balls before they hand a chance to grab them, and then rushed towards more of the group, just as they turned and noticed that she was among their ranks. As they realized that fact Selene spun around for a moment and hurled the balls out without wasting a second, where they raced through the air and struck several of the smaller circles that were what she and the other students were targeting, thus allowing her to eliminate twelve students in a single moment.

Sure enough she found that Meza announced that someone ended up doing what she had done, meaning they were doing their best to keep up with what the students were doing, meaning she was already done with this portion of the exam and could remove herself to let the others have their fun, causing her to land nearby.

"Where do you think you're going?" a voice asked, where Selene found that some of the other students gathered near her, another five based on what she was seeing, and from what she could tell one seemed to be a defensive type, two attackers, and two supports, likely a group that figured they could work well together while on the field.

"Leaving. I've already cleared the first test... no reason for me to knock more of you out." Selene remarked, which was true, she only had to take out two targets and she had taken out ten more thanks to the others being nearby, so she didn't need to eliminate more of them and ruin their chances of claiming a Provisional License.

"Sorry, but we're taking you out. I'm sure that if you get hit on your way out they'll remove you from the hundred that are allowed to head onto the next test." one of the other students stated, showing her that he believed that even those who had cleared the exam were fair game and that if someone removed them it would showcase their ability to adapt to whatever was going on, to take advantage of a situation and react accordingly.

"Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you." Selene replied, where she stood there for a moment as several sapphire serpents sprung into existence around her, something that caused the other students to pause for a couple of seconds as they realized that this wasn't a move they had seen before, since she usually only used one or two at a time, "Snakeman."

This was a Hydra based move, where they rushed out in whatever direction she wanted, just like how her serpents operated, but the difference this time around was that her serpents could bounce off objects or even the air itself, which was why part of them were designed to turn black when she used this move. As she expected the other students were surprised by what she was doing, this was the first time they were seeing a technique like this, in fact most of the others in her own class really had no idea that this move existed, save for her sister. With her speed mixed into the technique, which might be Tiger also blending into the technique a little, the serpents were able to rush through the area, grab onto the target balls, and then just bounce off a wall and lash out at another student before they could move. The best thing about Snakeman was that it also divided the attention of her foes and forced them to look elsewhere, allowing her to slip through the area without being seen or tracked, and she even got close to them and used their balls to eliminate them with her own hand.

Eventually these ones were eliminated and her targets lit up, informing her that she had passed this portion of the exam and that she was to head out into the waiting room that was designed to fit the other students, though as she did so she heard an interesting announcement, someone had knocked out a lot of students in an instant.

"Must be Inasa... probably just set a new record." Selene commented, because he was the only one she knew that could do such a thing, if he was supposed to be one of the strongest students that were taking part in the exam, though it wasn't long before she felt the ground quake, which she suspected was one of the other students from another school.

"Correct!" a voice said, where she found that Inasa, in what appeared to be a costume that was a thick burgundy suit with a drape over his shoulders and fur around his neck area, with a metal glove of sorts over his left hand, was walking over to where she was standing, allowing both of them to head inside, before he noticed something, "I'm surprised your sister isn't here yet."

"Oh, she'll be here soon." Selene replied, because she knew that there was no way Celestia would be dropping out of this, it was impossible for her to be held down or held back by the other students, and it only made her wonder what the rest of the exams might throw at them, before finding that the rest area had water and chairs for those that wanted to rest.

While she was doing that, however, Celestia stood in the middle of what appeared to be a force of students from the other schools, where she discovered that many of her opponents seemed to be elemental in nature, plenty of water types, a few earth types, and even a few electrical ones.

"What can you do, girl? Weaker than your sister, unable to use both of your Quirks at the same time, and wielding a flame Quick that you're lying about." one of the students said, a sneer on their face as they manipulated the moisture in the air for a moment and formed ice, while another created a swirl around her feet and the earth type had earth walls at the ready, all while the non elemental types were standing at the ready.

"Oh, the amount of people who believe Sunshine is a lie... it's kind of hilarious, really, if not a little sad." Celestia remarked, looking around the area she was in for a moment, which seemed to be a modified city street, one they could go crazy in for the purposes of this exam, before flames danced around her arms for a moment as she readied herself, "Flame Ring."

This technique involved turning one of her Cruel Suns into a ring of fire, as it burst outwards and the bits of fire rained down on the area around them, forming a ring of fire that none of them could pass through and none of them could disperse, as the water ones tried to put out the fire and failed. This was to be expected, since her flames were those of the sun, though as the students turned away from her Celestia shifted into her humanoid dragon form, causing the other students to simply look at her as they realized that she was being serious. In the next moment Celestia rushed at her foes and spun around as she jumped into the air, as her opponents tried to hurl their target balls at her and the act of her spinning caused them to move with her wings and body, allowing her to redirect all of their attacks into her opponents, weakening all of her attackers in an instant. Sensing this turn of events the students retreated from her and formed a defensive front, the earth wielders combining their Quirks to form a defensive shell around them while they figured out what to do next, where Celestia just stared at it for a moment as she dropped down to all fours, morphing into her feral dragon form.

In the following moment she replicated what she did back during the Sports Festival, let the flames build in her throat for a short period of time while focusing on the shell, before releasing her attack, a burst of blue fire that tore through the earth like it was nothing, and her attack was focused on the ground so it blew up and scattered them.

"The heck was that?" another student asked, though at the same time Celestia reverted to her hybrid form and knocked out the students that had attacked her, but the interesting thing was that it was the girl who came by them with Inasa, though she was focused on the destruction she had caused with a single attack.

"Nova Flame." Celestia replied, as it was a stronger version of her basic flame attack, one that could easily turn the tide of a fight if her other techniques and moves were lacking, before she found more students jumping over the ring of fire she put up earlier, in fact it looked like an entire class, save for Inasa and a few others, were present, and all of them were aiming their Quirks in her direction, "Really? You think launching an all out assault against me is a wise idea?"

"We only have to hit your targets. Your defenses will give at some point." another student remarked, where she found that all of Shiketsu's students wore their hats, even in their hero outfits, though at the same time the rest of the school seemed eager to wage war with her, who had two Quirks that held the greatest offensive and defensive capabilities, "We just have to keep hitting you until we hit our marks."

In the following moment Celestia focused her mind for a few seconds as the Shiketsu girl found that the air around their foe had changed, it seemed like it was getting warmer despite the fact that everyone was sure that there was no way for her to use both of her Quirks at the same time. There was a faint aura around her, that much Celestia could see and it was clear all of the students that opposed her could see it as well, which told her that whatever was blocking her from using both Quirks at the same time was still there, but even then she felt like the barrier in her mind or body was cracking a little. Thanks to that she was able to drive back her attackers since they rushed her, the heat of the faint flames pushing them back, and she found that none of them did a good job of defending themselves as she struck each of them, eliminating more of Shiketsu's students from the running. With that in mind she glanced around the area, making sure that there were no more students for her to eliminate because of their stupidity, and once she was sure the coast was clear she headed to the area indicated by the targets on her costume, she had placed them to give the others ease of access to level the playing field and found that it really didn't matter in the end.

After that, and turning in the targets to the people guarding the door, she smiled as she entered the rest area and found her sister sitting in one of the chairs, who also smiled as she sat down, allowing them to see that they were the first members of their class to pass this test.

"Looks like we've got some time to kill." Celestia commented, where her sister nodded her head, as either of them were even remotely surprised to see the other in this room, as both of their focuses had been on passing this without wasting time, a fact that lead to them being in the top three of the exam, "Also, I think a crack might have appeared in whatever is keeping me from being able to use both Quirks at the same time... at least I'm sure that's what I felt."

"Really? That's great." Selene replied, because she no longer had the fear that once plagued her and instead found this to be a good thing, as it meant her sister would be literally untouchable if she was able to utilize both Quirks at the same time, and it made her interested in what the future held in store for her sister.

Following that they found that more and more students started to clear the exam, at first a mix of students from each of the schools, those that were staying true to the rules of the exam and were stealing points to make sure they passed onto the next test of the exam. Eventually some of the other students from their class showed up as well, like Momo and Shoto, and it was easy for them to see that Inasa was ignoring Shoto to the best of his ability while shooting daggers at him every now and then, like something major had happened to them in the past. As the minutes ticked by more and more students ended up meeting the requirements of the first test, a mix from the various schools, and it wasn't long before even more of their class joined them, much to the continued surprise of the students who had passed. Selene found it to be hilarious, that each of the schools had thought they could eliminate Class 1-A and had only provided them with the means to pass the first test, a fact that was proven time and time again as more and more of their classmates joined them, even Katsuki and Izuku passed in no time.

In the end, however, Selene was smiling as her entire class, all twenty-two of them, stood victorious over the 'UA Hunting', a feat that shocked and surprised the students from the other schools that had passed the first exam, and it made her all the more curious as to what the next test might have in store for them.
