"Awesome!!"
A scream came from Hanta Sero's mouth.
Minoru Mineta also looked at Mezo Shoji in shock. The wing-like tentacles simulated three arms respectively, and the moment he gripped the machine, his strength exploded.
beep!
540kg!
The number instantly froze in place, and the terrifying result almost stunned everyone present.
"Are you some kind of orangutan!!"
Hanta Sero couldn't hide the admiration on his face. He subconsciously clenched his fists, but after looking at Shoji Mezo's tentacle arms, he couldn't help laughing:
"Octopus!"
Minoru Mineta immediately corrected him with a serious face:
"Octopus? The perverted kind!"
...
Ren also received the testing equipment, but he didn't act immediately.
Izuku Midoriya looked at everyone else's performance, and a trace of panic appeared in his eyes.
"56.4kg!"
Ren saw the number displayed on Midoriya Izuku's grip tester and calmly said:
"It can only be considered the standard of an ordinary person. But your Quirk should be more than that..."
bang——
Ren's words struck Midoriya like lightning.
Midoriya Izuku forced out a stiff smile:
"Y-yeah... yeah, I can't help it. I can control my Quirk very well, so I can't casually use it..."
Naturally, Ren understood exactly what Midoriya was talking about.
A manufactured container was not a perfect container.
Accommodating the enhancement ability of ONE FOR ALL—
Especially Midoriya, who inherited it from All Might—
He completely viewed that power as something borrowed.
Walking to Midoriya's side, Ren casually picked up the grip tester and lightly squeezed it, instantly reproducing the same number:
56.4kg.
It looked as if he hadn't even used any real strength—
The difference between casually moving a finger and actually exerting force.
"Try imagining it like heating an egg in a microwave. The shell can't break."
As if muttering to himself, Ren's eyes suddenly became serious again. He slowly increased the force in his hand, and the Power of Killing Gods erupted instantly. Veins bulged along his arm.
The number on the grip tester began skyrocketing wildly.
700KG in the blink of an eye—
And it was still rapidly climbing.
This was the value displayed from the sudden explosive surge of strength!
Immediately afterward—
The display on the grip tester seemed unable to withstand the terrifying force applied to it.
The digits flickered wildly between 8 and 9 repeatedly, clearly malfunctioning.
The next moment—
crack——
The grip tester exploded apart into scattered fragments.
"Th-this..."
Midoriya Izuku stared blankly.
1000KG!
That was precisely the machine's maximum load capacity...
As a weak otaku, Midoriya Izuku's greatest habit was unconsciously observing and recording everything he saw into his memory.
Therefore...
The explosive strength Ren released just now had instantly reached 1000kg.
600kg was already enough to easily crush the hardest bones in the human body.
In other words—
A single punch from Ren possessed enough force to kill someone instantly.
At that moment, Midoriya Izuku realized that even his heart was trembling.
...
"What happened?"
Shota Aizawa, from a distance, also walked over. He glanced at the shattered debris before immediately handing over another testing device without even looking back.
At the same time, he casually said:
"Remember to clean up the trash you made before leaving."
"Okay,"
Ren replied.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ren looked toward Midoriya Izuku again. Looking at the panic in the latter's eyes, Ren casually sat down nearby.
"Your power doesn't only exist for reckless explosions. Doing that will only destroy your body. The reason you get injured is that you use all of your power at once. I know very clearly what happened during the entrance exam..."
"I-is that so..."
Midoriya Izuku trembled slightly as he sat beside Ren.
After all, he had never imagined that the harmless-looking male classmate in front of him was actually such a terrifying existence...
Thinking back now—
Where exactly had he found the courage to approach Ren before and ask whether someone like him could become a Hero(es)?
Completely immersed in those thoughts, Midoriya unconsciously hugged his knees tightly, even ignoring the deeper meaning behind Ren's words.
"Since this power belongs to you, you have the responsibility to return everything carried by that power to the person who originally built that belief. An egg can't withstand 100% of the microwave's power. Then why not use only the amount it can actually bear?!"
The new grip tester had already been delivered.
Ren picked it up, patted Midoriya Izuku lightly on the shoulder, then stood up as strength surged once more.
beep beep!
The grip tester emitted a sound, indicating the test had finished.
Ren showed the numerical result directly to Midoriya Izuku.
At that moment—
Midoriya Izuku's pupils instantly shrank.
Because the displayed value was perfectly fixed at:
1000KG.
