Tempting fate, Denki?

Oh yeah, he was!

Denki followed with a group of other applicants to a gate that led into the entrance area. It was a fake urban space, to fight in. Denki suspected that causing too much property damage might result in points being docked. That was fine, his Quirk wasn't good for damaging infrastructure... Except power lines, obviously. "And... Start!" Present Mic's voice declared, making Denki blink. He had been expecting a countdown. As Present Mic started lecturing them that real life didn't come with countdowns, he managed to be one of the first to recover and run into the test site.

"Hello there!" he grinned as a Three Pointer, surrounded by three two pointers, emerged around the corner. He began to discharge electricity, aiming to shock them into shorting out. They started to seize up, sparks flying, about to fail...

"DIE!!!" he heard, a voice screaming, before an explosion blew right by him, blasting the robots he was in the middle of defeating. They flew away. "Hah! Nine points!" a guy with spiky, sandy blonde hair cackled, his hand smoking.

"Hey, you asshole! Those were my points!" Denki shouted, indignant. Only for the asshole to shove past him.

"Fuck off, Extra! This exam is mine to win!"

"...win?" Denki gaped after the guy. What kind of ego did he have!? This wasn't about winning or losing, it was about getting enough points to pass! "...worst part is, that fucker is probably going to pass," Denki grumbled, before resuming, going in another direction. Fortunately, he was finding some other robots, even at one point being surrounded by ten at once, and he released a burst of electricity that took them all out, though he was cutting it close with the amount he could release at once without short circuiting his own brain.

"Phew... I think I have about... 35 points right now?" he panted. He was having trouble keeping track of all of them. It was going at too fast a pace for him to stop and tally, and he would rather go for more points than worry about his score.

Suddenly, the ground rumbled, and he and several other applicants froze, slowly turning to see an absolutely gargantuan machine emerging from a bunker, knocking down buildings as it moved. Denki paled. "..."how big can these Zero Pointers be?"" he echoed his own earlier thoughts aloud in a rather sardonic tone. "Man, I really shouldn't tempt fate like that..."

Uh-oh! How does Denki handle this development?
