Selene and Celestia found that the students were given some time to rest while the rest of the remaining students, as in the thousand and more students who had failed, were escorted off the premises, or at least to the lockers so they could change out of their costumes and head into the stands.

"Hey, I've got something to say." Izuku said, standing by his sisters as they stared at the rest of the competition that was with their class, since there was no telling what the next test might throw at them, even though they were in one of the corners of the room so they could speak privately, before he lowered his voice, "Kacchan knows. He figured it out."

The sisters glanced at each other for a moment, because this meant that Katsuki must have figured out what their brother had told him back when they started school, that Toshinori retiring from being All Might, and being unable to fight again, was connected to how Izuku reacted when they joined UA as students.

"Well, keep in mind that he's going to demand answers soon." Selene commented, where she could see that Katsuki was off to the side, annoyed like usual, though it seemed like being in the second fifty students to pass the first test had reverted him to what they were used to seeing, causing her to sigh for a moment, "We'll deal with him later. For now, let's focus on the next part of the exam."

Celestia said nothing to that as they relaxed for a little, finding that the only time the screen came on was when it was time for them to either start the second test or to talk to the hundred students who had passed the first test, and sure enough it wasn't long before the screen came on, allowing them to witness as the landscape was destroyed by explosions.

The next test is the last: you will be acting as bystanders and conduct rescue operations at a disaster site. Mera stated, his voice coming over the intercom while the students watched the destruction unfold, though the more observant among their number noticed that this was designed to resemble All Might's clash with All For One, as the sisters quickly realized, all while the students talked among themselves, Let me be clear, you will not be acting as ordinary citizens, rather you will be acting as individuals who have already obtained a Provisional Hero License. This is a test to display your aptitude for rescue operations, and for such a test we have called in pros at needing rescuing, staff members from 'Help Us Company', or 'H.U.C.' if you prefer. Our good friends will be scattered throughout the disaster zone, disguised as casualties, and it's your mission to extract them to a safe location... now, this test will be graded via a point system, and if you're above the mark we will consider it a passing grade and bestow upon you a license. You have ten minutes to prepare yourselves.

One thing the sisters discovered was that the remaining students from Shiketsu came over to talk to Class 1-A, as in the one who had a lot of hair wanted to apologize to Katsuki, because one of the others went after him, Denki, and Eijiro, causing the trio to eliminate the Shiketsu student and a number of others. At the same time they apologized to Celestia as well, since a lot of their number went after her as well, even though Inasa had no words for Shoto, other than the fact that he despised him and Endeavor, which likely came from his encounters with Endeavor in the past. The smartest among the students just stood there and stared at the screen, taking in the sights and the areas that would realistically hold the greatest amount of bystanders, areas they should be focused on for the exercise, and it wasn't long before Tenya and Izuku realized that this was like when the group of five rescued Katsuki. Selene also knew there had to be more to this than just rescuing people, so she was expecting some 'villains' to show up at some point to challenge them, much like how they had to face off against the instructors before heading to the summer camp, and a quick nod from Celestia confirmed that she was thinking the same thing right now.

Eventually the ten minutes were up and the room around them shuddered, unfolding like the first chamber, though as that happened Mera continued to speak, setting up the scenario for them, labeling this as a 'villain attack' that encompassed all of 'X City', and they were encouraged to save as many lives as they could, even if it was just one.

While most of the students in Class 1-A would have trouble with this sort of thing, since most of their exercises had been on fighting and learning how to wield their Quirks, the same wasn't true for Selene and Celestia, who had aided their mentors in rescuing people from the various encounters they had during their sessions. As such the first thing they did upon arriving in an area, where an 'injured' young woman was holding her 'terrified' child, their acting was simply amazing in Selene's eyes, was check and make sure the people they were here to save could walk and that there were no excessive injuries. This was a cakewalk for Celestia, because Sunshine's healing power could actually do so much for people in this sort of situation, and while it came as a surprise for the people they were helping, since they had no idea she could do this, they treated it as part of the exam. Once the sisters were able to confirm that the civilians were okay to be moved, and the area wouldn't collapse on them, they extracted them from the area and returned them to the triage area, which happened to be the very room they had been standing in before the second test had started.

While this was happening Mera stared at the computer that was in front of him, holding the names of the hundred students who were taking part in this portion of the exam while the watchers and the H.U.C. staff members graded them, because he could see a number of scores dropping already. If he looked at Inasa's score, for example, there was a decrease coming from the fact that he moved a bunch of 'casualties' without even doing any prep work or making sure the area was stable, he just came in and did whatever he thought was right, which in a real world scenario would be more disastrous. On the other hand there was Katsuki, who simply refused to act like a hero and told off anyone who came to him for aid, where Mera watched as his score went downhill, as the H.U.C. staff had negative marks towards his performance and attitude. Some of the H.U.C. members did have silent remarks on his ability to figure out who was truly in need of assistance and who wasn't, but there was a lot more negatives for Katsuki than there were positives, meaning he might fail this test.

The ones that were a problem for the test were the sisters, Selene and Celestia were monsters at doing everything that was important for this test, their actions were basically perfect with zero room for improvement, and if they were on the field he knew the other students would fail to showcase their skills with them present.

"Get me the staff members and tell them to bring in those two... I have an idea in mind." Mera stated, because there was no reason for them to waste the sisters' time, they had passed and he doubted that they would even see a decrease in points from this point forward, so he was going to put another idea into play and really test the other students, and it wasn't long before he found the sisters being brought into a side chamber, "Selene, Celestia, I know you two are skilled, so I'm pulling you from the test... at least on the side of the rescue operatives. I would ask that you join Gang Orca for the second half of this test and push your fellow students as hard as you can."

"You... want us to act like villains?" Celestia asked, speaking to the screen that was in front of them, though at the same time she understood why they were chosen for this sort of thing, because they were monsters in their own right and they were hard to push back, so with Gang Orca and his gang they would really push the students hard.

"Yes. In the off chance that it came to this, I had your measurements pulled and these made." Mera said, where the sisters found that the other staff members had what appeared to be arm bands that reminded them of what All Might and the rest of the teachers wore during their mock battles, and when Selene tested one she found that it did shave off her strength and speed while altering itself when she changed into her other forms.

The sisters glanced at each other for a moment before deciding that it was a good thing to do this, it would push the rest of their class and the other students to do their best while those focused on the rescue operations could continue their portion of the second test. After both of them were outfitted with their new additions, and had a chance to test out their lessened powers, the sisters found their way to where Gang Orca and his gang were lurking, who took it as the sign that things were now up to him, which Mera confirmed with a single call. With that in mind he smashed his way through the wall in front of him, setting off an explosion that rocked the stadium's side, causing the other students to stop what they were doing as each of them came to understand that more was happening, more than they were expecting. Izuku was the first to recognize who was in front of him, thanks to the extensive knowledge on heroes he had gathered over the years, before his jaw dropped as he found his sisters standing on either side of Gang Orca, while most of their students paled with this discovery.

To all would be heroes, villains have appeared out of the woodwork and will be focused on disrupting your operations: it is your job to suppress the villains while continuing your rescue operations. Mera stated, letting the students know that the scenario was being altered to give them a greater test, while at the same time the sisters could tell that even Aizawa was caught off guard by the fact that they were on Gang Orca's side, You will see some familiar faces among the villains, but do not be deceived: they are villains now and will stop at nothing to bring disaster upon you and the city.

Izuku stood there for a moment, he knew how foolish it was to challenge his sisters, even though he could see them using a set of restriction bracers to limit their powers, because he understood the truth of their abilities, Selene and Celestia were on an entirely different level.

"SHITTY KITTY!" Katsuki remarked, rushing into battle as soon as he realized that the sisters had been removed from the test and had been brought in as villains, something that made him wonder if they had failed, but for right now he barreled right into where Selene was standing, even though she dodged him, grabbed him by the neck, and hurled him into the city like he was a sack of potatoes.

Following that multiple things happened, such as the fact that one of the boys from Miss Joke's, Shindo, unleashed a couple of minor quakes in the direction of Gang Orca's gang, disrupting the ground while doing everything in his power to make sure the rescue area was safe from danger. That didn't stop the big boss, Gang Orca himself, from rapidly approaching him and releasing a supersonic wave that paralyzed the student, for a time anyway, though both Shoto and Inasa happened to attack him at the same time with their Quirks, one forming an icy wall while the other pushed his targets away. Gang Orca repelled the ice like it was nothing, which wasn't too surprising since he was definitely one of the strongest heroes around at the moment, though as he did that Selene rushed over to where Katsuki, Denki, and Eijiro were gathering. Celestia, on the other hand, found a punch coming her way as Izuku decided to do what he did best and focused on the task at hand, which was distract the 'villains' and make sure none of them reached the civilians, even though he found that she reacted instantly with scales appearing in no time.

As Izuku realized that fact, however, Celestia grabbed onto his arm and hurled him into one of the buildings, making sure to avoid damaging him too much, not that she had to worry since he used Full Cowl, it was second nature at this point, to get back to the ground before facing her once more.

"Oh brother, you really should have known that facing me on your own is a terrible idea." Celestia stated, which was true, as her brother had come at her with no back up and no plan, not like how Katsuki was being forced to accept aid from two of their classmates, plus she could tell that Inasa and Shoto were having a difficult time using their Quirks in unison.

"Maybe so... but I know you'll weaken your attacks against me and Selene, meaning I'm the best one to keep you distracted while the others work." Izuku replied, or at least that was his hope, because he was sure that his sisters lowered their power when it came to hitting him, to avoid breaking him like how Kacchan or some of the other teachers did, though that could be him misunderstanding everything as well, to which he slipped into his Full Cowl again, "So please, stay away from the rescue area."

Izuku found that he was wrong almost instantly, as Celestia shifted into her bipedal dragon form and rushed at him, where the force of her blow tore through the building wall that had been right behind him, confirming that she was taking her new role seriously and wasn't holding back at all. At this point Izuku realized that the only thing he could do was dodge, he just didn't have the power to face Celestia in a full on battle, meaning this was just stupid on his part, he was stupid for thinking he could stop her if she was assigned the role of a 'villain', even with those restraints on. He also found that Kacchan's group wasn't faring any better as Selene rushed around the area in her hybrid form, slashing at those that got in her way while also using Hydra to surprise her opponents, and based on what he could see she wasn't holding back either. That distraction on his part opened the way for Celestia to strike him and send him flying into one of the walls, just as Selene did her thing, but Izuku refused to step down as he forced himself to move again and got in front of his sister.

This time around he focused on the battle and nothing else, gathering the full power of One For All that he had access to at the moment, before swinging his fist as he unleashed his strongest version of All Might's 'Detroit Smash' into Celestia's chest, sending a burst of wind pressure through the area and broke up some of the buildings, only for his sister to emerge without a scratch on her scaly chest.

And the test is over: the last of the civilians has been saved. Mera remarked, as the last of the H.U.C. staff members had been checked in and that meant that the exercise was over, though at the same time he could see that many were simply annoyed that they couldn't fight the sisters for a longer period of time, making him wonder if he should have just pulled the pair aside at the beginning and used them as 'villains' from the start, Without further ado, we shall be ending the final test of the Provisional License Exam here, so you are free to leave the field, change out of your hero attire, and tend to any of your injuries if you have any. We will be announcing the results of the exam, those that passed and those that failed, within the next thirty minutes, after we finish tallying each of your scores.

Izuku let out a sigh of relief, because he really had no idea what he would have done if he was forced to fight Celestia for an extended period of time, she was this massive wall that he couldn't hope to overcome, though as she helped him up, and Selene returned to them with a smile on her face, he could only wonder what the results of the exam might be and hoped that everyone in their class was successful.
