[52: Rockin' Robin]
Eleanor was spinning around in a chair as she waited for the next part to start. 'I should've just waited until near the end, so I wouldn't have to wait as long,' Eleanor thought to herself. 'And where is everyone? Don't tell me they blew the chance I gave them. Only Bakugo and Todoroki are the only ones that separated.' She looked at the big screen, eating some food. 'I'm taking a nap.'
Eleanor went to one of the couches in the anteroom and lay down on it. She closed her eyes for a small nap.

(Some time later)
"Hey, Eleanor! Come on, get up!" Kaminari shouted.
Eleanor opened her eyes calmly and straight up. "Finally, it seems all of you passed. And next time, don't shout at me, please."
"Yeah, it was kind of easy after what you did," Kaminari said.
"But Eleanor, while we appreciate it, we weren't really able to put our skills to the test!" Iida came from the side, slightly venting about the first part of the exam.
"There weren't any rules, saying I couldn't, though. In fact, not much was mentioned about how much force we could or couldn't use," Eleanor said.
"She's not wrong. They didn't say anything about it," Momo said.
"Okay, everyone, pay attention to the big screen." The announcer's voice boomed through the anteroom. The video on the screen showed the different environments they had just come from. Large explosions started to deform them all. Buildings were destroyed and toppled, and the artificial mountains had massive chunks of rock taken off. Debris and rubble littered everything.
"How did they all do that? And how much did it cost?" Kaminari said.
The announcer continued. "Terrorists and villains have attacked the city, injuring and hurting bystanders. Because of the destruction, first responders are delayed. As heroes, it's your duty to help any hurt civilians and rescue them from the destruction and the attack." On the screen, people started to appear. "These are professional employees who will play the role of injured and distressed civilians. Treat it like the real thing. Your score will be pitted against a certain metric."
The walls of the anteroom started to come apart, just like the room in the first part of the exam. The same environment was revealed, but they saw it with their own eyes instead of from a screen. Rubble and debris were like their own mountains.
"This is going to be tough, but doable," Eleanor said. "Okay, I'll take the sky, and you guys all focus on land. Everyone here will need to work together, not just our class. Momo, make some flare guns or something of the like, so it can be used as a signal for my help. I'll make a few helicopters to scour the area for people that are trapped. If you need some kind of medical evacuation, just shoot the flare gun. Feel free to hand them out as you wish. And please, don't just shoot it for every inconvenience you see. Save it for where it's needed, like rough terrain or other types of inaccessible areas." As soon as Eleanor finished speaking, a massive horn blasted across the stadium.
"The next phase begins now!" The announcer said.
Eleanor summoned her bow and shot out a few arrows, which transformed into three helicopters. These helicopters were brightly colored. They were mainly white as a base with international orange over it. A prominent green cross on a white background was also on it. One of the helicopters slowly descended in front of Eleanor. She quickly got on. Before the helicopter took off, she faced her class.
"Why not use red for the cross?" Kaminari asked.
"Because of international law and stuff, for whatever that's worth. Green on white is about the next closest thing as a symbol of rescue and medicine. Anyway, treat this like the real thing! I'm taking off!" The helicopter took off into the sky. Eleanor put her helmet on, the visor glowing with multiple screens.
Eleanor got her bow again and shot out a drone into the air. It lifted into the sky before setting into flight in a constant circle. Another screen popped up on her visor. 'Theodore, mark everyone with a green triangle. Any heat signatures not marked are people needing rescue. Prioritize inaccessible and hard-to-reach areas.'
[On it.]
The screens on her visor switched to black and white. Multiple figures were lit up, a white glow to them. They were the students below her. A few white figures were also spotted, some of the people needing rescue.
'Let's see. Who needs rescue? I can leave a lot of things to the one on the ground; I'll handle the hard stuff. Finding a landing spot is going to be a problem, though,' Eleanor thought to herself.
On the ground, multiple students were already being scolded by the actors. Mostly Class 1-A. Others were taking it with the seriousness required for such an exam.
[Eleanor, one person has been spotted who needs help. They are on top of a destroyed building. It's too high to safely get down, but there's no clear landing spot. You'll need to rappel down.] The helicopter Eleanor was in moved to the location of the person.
'Rappel down? I don't know how to do that, and I've never done that before.' Eleanor looked down. Yeah, she's seen this view, but knowing she would need to go down still filled her with unease. 'Oh well, first time for everything, I guess.'
[Follow my instructions.]
The helicopter hovered above the location before slowly descending as much as it could. Eleanor opened the door and looked down. It was an old man who needed help. He was waving his arms at Eleanor. He seemed minimally injured, but his location was terrible. Too high to get down on his own, but even if he could, it was a disaster area; who knows what hazards there are? That's his safest area.
Eleanor nodded and put on a rappelling harness and clipped a heavy-duty descender device to it. Eleanor grabbed a heavy, specialized static kernmantle rope and attached it to an anchor point in the helicopter. Since she was the only one in the helicopter, she attached it to a machine that would pull it back up. Once it was attached, she grabbed the rest of it and tossed it outside the open door. She looked down and saw that it fully reached the ground where the person was. Eleanor grabbed another harness.
Eleanor strapped herself and then went to the edge of the door. She was backwards. She took a deep breath, calming her nerves, and then stepped out. She slid down the rope, using the descender device to go down steadily and at her own pace. It had her heart pumping, but she needed to look calm.
It was a quick but steady descent. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she immediately turned to the old man, checking his body for any "injuries."
"Sir, are you okay? Do you feel any pain anywhere? Any difficulty moving?" Eleanor asked multiple questions.
"I'm mostly fine! Help me, please!" He went up to Eleanor. Eleanor grabbed him firmly.
"Everything is okay. Help is here. We have a first-aid station set up, and I'm going to get you there safely. Did you see anyone else nearby who needs help?"
"It's just me. There's too much debris to see properly!"
"We're going to get back to the helicopter. This harness will help you stay attached to the line. It'll be okay." Eleanor started to help the man into the harness. She hoisted him to the rope.
'Bring us up, Theodore,' Eleanor commanded Theodore.
Shortly after, they both started to ascend the rope. It wasn't as fast as when she descended, but they were going up steadily. Once inside the helicopter, she took off the harness from herself and the man. She guided the old man to a seat and strapped him in.
"You're safe now, sir. Just sit there, and we'll get you a first-aid station," Eleanor said.
The helicopter started moving, heading to a first-aid station that some of the students had already set up. When she got there, the helicopter was able to find enough room to land safely. She made sure the helicopter was far enough away so that the blowing wind from the blades wouldn't disturb those in the station too much.
When it landed, she helped the old man off the seat. She opened the door and helped him off. She approached the first-aid station, and someone else came up. "I've got him!"
"Thanks. He's fine. He was trapped in an inaccessible area, but he'll be fine with a bit of care," Eleanor said, handing the man off to one of the students.
"Hey! It's you! You eliminated Yo Shindo! You were the one who did the gas attack!" A girl with blonde hair in a blue outfit shouted at Eleanor. "I'm Tatami Nakagame from Ketsubutsu!"
Eleanor simply looked at her. "Who?"
Tatami gasped. "Of course. I should've expected this from a U.A. student."
"Lady, I don't know what I could've possibly done to anger you or offend you. As for eliminating whoever this Yo Shindo person is, I'm not sorry. That's just the exam." Eleanor quickly went back to the helicopter to resume rescue operations, but Tatami held her arm.
"I'm not going to let you—"
"That's points off!" One of the actors said, pointing at Tatami. "This is a rescue operation, and you're interfering in the work of a hero actively going to conduct more rescue! As heroes, you're supposed to show a united and coordinated front for those you rescue! What would people think, if they saw infighting in the people responsible for rescuing them!"
"Ah! No!" Tatami let Eleanor go. Eleanor went back to the helicopter quickly. However, when she got on and looked back, she smirked at Tatami. Tatami saw this and realized she'd been played. "Hey!"
/\\//\\//\
Eleanor continued looking. The three helicopters were going around, conducting search operations. When Eleanor looked down, she saw a clear landing spot in the middle of the rubble and debris of destroyed buildings. Standing nearby were some Shiketsu students. They had some people needing rescue, but the terrain was very dangerous.
Taking the opportunity, the helicopter started making a descent.
"I didn't expect an actual helicopter to land here. Though, I should've expected this." Nagamasa said. HIs body was very hairy, like thick fur.
Eleanor opened the door. "Shiketsu students, right‽ Thanks for opening up a spot for my helicopter to land! How many people are there?"
"We have five people! They have minor injuries, but they can communicate clearly," Nagamasa said. They had to speak loudly to compensate for the loud helicopter. Yes, it was using magnetic-assisted levitation, but it was still loud.
"Alright, help me get them on the helicopter!" Eleanor shouted.
Eleanor, Nagamasa, and Inasa helped put some of the actors into the helicopter. They strapped them into seats.
"Good work, you two! I'll take it from here!" Eleanor closed the door of the helicopter, and it ascended back into the sky.
Nagamasa and Inasa looked above at the helicopter. "How quick and effective. And thoughtful. Inasa, we need to be like that."
"Yes, captain!"
The helicopter landed near the first-aid station. After seeing it the first time, some of the students at the first-aid station made a designated landing spot for the helicopter and a system to quickly bring any patient to the triage area. When Eleanor landed, she opened the door and waved to some of the other students to help her. They quickly boarded and helped all the people out. Only a few words of thanks were said before Eleanor took off into the skies again.
/\\//\\//\
'Damn. And this is only a simulation. First-responders really are more heroic than some of the 'real heroes' in this society,' Eleanor thought to herself as the helicopter continued.
While she was looking down below and through her visor, she noticed a flare shoot into the sky. Theodore, following previous commands from Eleannor, immediately moved the helicopter in that direction. Eleanor quickly got ready to rappel down just in case.
Once the helicopter was in position, she opened the door. She looked down and saw quite the scene. Momo, Ochaco, and Mina were below. They had more people with them, but one was very injured. It was a woman. Her leg was "crushed" by some of the debris. It was a gruesome scene. There was blood, and some of the bone could be seen. And she was "bleeding" heavily.
'Man, they really are professionals. How do they make it look so real?' Eleanor asked herself. She noticed that the helicopter wouldn't be able to land safely. She would need a lot more to bring this person up. Luckily, this helicopter was meant for medical rescue. She grabbed a stretcher in the helicopter, or a rescue basket, and then it was tied to a separate point. She grabbed a few more items with her before quickly rappelling down. This was the kind of situation where seconds mattered.
She rappelled down quickly. As soon as she touched the ground, she went to the woman with the "broken" leg. There was heavy bleeding.
Eleanor rolled up her sleeves. "Momo, apply direct pressure to the spot that's bleeding! Get to it now! Ma'am, everything will be okay!" Eleanor shouted.
Momo didn't say anything. She immediately applied pressure to the "wound." Eleanor immediately opened a bag. She took out a tourniquet and put it three inches above the wound. She wrapped the band around the leg and secured it. She pulled the strap as tightly as she could, securing it to the velcro. She twisted the rod until the bleeding stopped. She secured the rod and then noted down the time it was placed. From the helicopter, the stretcher came down. After the tourniquet was successfully applied, she put on some gloves before she opened another bag.
From the bag, she took out gauze. She quickly started packing the "wound" with gauze. "Momo, help me put this patient on the stretcher when it comes down! And how are the other people? Anything else you need help with?"
"No! It's just this person!" Momo shouted.
"Alright! I can't take everyone here in the helicopter! And it can't land safely here! Can you three clear a spot in this rubble? Another helicopter can land here, and one of you can load the other people in it!" Eleanor shouted.
"We can do it! Ochaco can lift the rubble, and Momo can melt certain things to clear up a space!" Momo shouted. Ochaco and Mina nodded, and they quickly got to work.
The stretcher descended to where they were. Momo and Eleanor got the patient onto the stretcher. Eleanor secured herself and the stretcher. Slowly, she started to ascend back into the helicopter. Once back in the helicopter, Eleanor secured the stretcher. The helicopter ascended quickly and moved to the first-aid station.
At the first-aid station, the helicopter landed. Eleanor opened the door quickly and shouted for someone to help her. Instantly, another student came over. Both of them took the stretcher out of the helicopter and into the triage area. "I put the time the tourniquet was applied! I trust all of you can take it from here!"
/\\//\\//\
Eleanor was back in the helicopter. She knew it was coming; she just didn't know when. Luckily, for her—
BOOM
—An explosion happened at the edge of the stadium.
Eleanor smirked. From near the pilot's seat, she grabbed a small handle. She pulled a handle. Sliding into place was a double-mounted Browning machine gun. She cocked it and pushed it downwards.
"Time to put the 'combat' in combat medic."
