I’ll say now, I’m downsizing Class 1-A to 15. I’m going to focus on the core cast and not include characters like Mineta. Sorry.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZYmGs3Yw3
It’s easier to write and allows for better focus.
Spring had come, the weather was turning nicer, and the Sakura trees were blooming in full. Inko hugged the stuffing out of Izuku and Kiri at the door while Tatsumaki was standing behind her.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwMZzv83TR
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs0Wh1TvwE
She was holding back tears.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdBTErbvGz
Inko: "So, so proud."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FmTiEkbnB
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcQxGgSOa2
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFS5jHdYKw
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGUCtGPXqu
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2idwoC9cQP
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBO6NPZKRm
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdwdBkv0Z5
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52MlXqnX9M
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMo1SuowWM
Tatsumaki sighs and looks off into the distance. She is so tempted to drag her little sister here and force out some answers. She’s been acting weird ever since Izuku got his acceptance letter.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYBINuNRwN
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUmnEvfT7d
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlXlz93ErF
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduvxudzKNQ
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxRoEEtyXn
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHx0I1Lm46
Kiri: “Big.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mEBaw8Nm3
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID9YU9Drlj
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStdIk93kAS
The class of 1-A.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkahigzBqB
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn26LpL5hVY
Kiri: “Nh!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiiQWtNrxA
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYIYpUlYe3
Ida: "Remove your feet from the desk immediately! Such an act disgraces all the wonderful craftsmen who made our furniture and the upperclassmen who have come before us!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWm1vVBLkA
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgBFwJWJJs
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfoUIrBoL5
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhHM5X9xvE
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTPFQ5sP4L
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCIRUW6nL1
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuASD6A0Aot
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD7NSufhPa
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjBOhdr4n
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOZAQIdVLy
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvZnI8mS2g
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R0AAY8AsS
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO1KWUPXlx
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD6dcWdRub
He gave Izuku a short bow.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZmMoGiX8E
Izuku was now slightly happy since Iida seemed to have turned over a new leaf. While he wouldn't quite forget the treatment from the exam, if Iida was willing to try to make amends, it can be water under the bridge.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELFNuwUkJt
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBeb2RwQpO
Kiri: “Hello.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23pIYmArd9
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw5DuI9mo9
Kiri: “Um?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hX9LCoiiX
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWYkna4Fx8
Ida: “The hero points.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry71pTxN86
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ZVtgN6qp
Ida: “Then why-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZWwRAvsG
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ec2Vi9BGl
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20xH5jNFw5
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGdRBSvKEJ
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosrWV6yVkh
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFAxNJN2t3
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv7dAAx0Sm
Uraraka: “You and Jiro saved me! Thank you so much! And you all got in as well! I was so happy when Present Mic told me!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GdYTN5iE4
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf8KlI5nfI
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uVOqDGObP
Momo: “Lucky.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidaVn5dZOc
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALjs05jCbd
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCopO8NvtTg
Izuku: “I have to thank you all too. Yaoyorozu, thanks for helping me. Kyoka, thank you for helping Uraraka out of the rumble. And thank you, Uraraka, for speaking on our behalf.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuLzVonp9p
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUYWHCG6T8
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr2PfaDIXU
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA1TyoBILy
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0rKdzGk55
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCaFJAvqxY
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L6BVoDEUo
Bakugo: ‘But that means nothing next to Deku! What happened to him? I knew his Quirk was strong when it finally showed up… but he BEAT ME in the exams. ME! And where did he get a girlfriend of all things?!’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzctYpXRU8
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj65sjV8Hp
Uraraka: “I wonder if today’s the ceremony. Or is it guidance counselor stuff today? Oh, and the teacher, what will they be like? I’m so anxious, like wow!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb4jT7HUh4
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8kpoxLaPR
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebkscXkuEF
Jiro: “What the-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWtUsijuO6
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGTo8Z6Rhs
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8uNucpq45
No.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbquAkGevO
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVH4s1ywkY
"This is the Hero Course."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmuc9SShvg
A hand snaked out from inside the bag with a pouch, which the long-haired man squeezed empty in a single suck. The group backed up and watched him sit up and toss off the sleeping bag.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1cVX6oH7K
"You mistook me for a caterpillar, and it took you all more than ten seconds to settle down. Time is precious. You kids are lacking common sense, aren’t you?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBZvSQyPXD
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86WnPSLMYe
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXckxYn7IR
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjLicYT66l
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ZcYcxwWy
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtWAL7sWUH
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy054QoRdO
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl64pjHHyX
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGegQJRDg7
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvhO4xTtwR
Aizawa: "A waste of time if you want to become heroes. You have very little time here at UA to learn what you need. Our school prides itself on its 'freestyle' system of education, and that applies to the teachers as well."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaNOYhGC1a
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXMMNT6Qfw
Aizawa: "The softball throw, the fifty-meter dash, consecutive side-steps, endurance running, grip strength, the standing long-jump, seated-toe-touches, and sit-ups. You all did these in middle school but were never allowed to use your Quirks. It isn't rational, but the Department of Education loves dragging their feet about changing things and creating new standards."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rWsgOLQF
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jhH0mVxyC
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFOCRio10J
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBodJT7kqUJ
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZDIQUcaR
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlt2Z3NrFZ
Aizawa: "Let's see what you can do. Go all out and use your Quirk. You're not allowed to step from that circle. Give it all you got."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5rQJCVmje
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbeBrjJmYC
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjH2knoNT6
Bakugo: "DIE!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQU9frWDxt
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3usiWot8gO
‘Die?'
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a6OmpC8H7
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5SXmx0dW5
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdXZOkOiHc
Aizawa: "It's important for us to know your limits. That's the first step in figuring out just what kind of heroes you'll be."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U1smWUEBl
The class erupted into various reactions.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8FFJTcVBv
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih6JSbEIa0
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOZQYSbYAL
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBGmTYgR2P
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2l61G2MF3
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqnIcWGTwr
The pink girl yelled again.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwO6k1yboW
"This is going to be so much fun!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdfRiq7B0X
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPA5gVWHeA
All of a sudden, a feeling of dread enveloped them. Aizawa was staring at them. His expression hadn't really changed, but there was something about him that made it seem like a bucket of ice had been dropped into their gym uniforms.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvChA7Egjs7
Aizawa: "You've only got three years here, and you're thinking about fun? Alright then. If you're just here to have fun, then I'm going to make a new rule. The person who scores the lowest in these exams will be judged as hopeless and will be on a one-way train back home before the day is over."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQzNk4Qbnr
Shivers ran through everyone’s back; this is no laughing matter. Aizawa brushed his bangs back and had a strange smile on his face, his eyes wide and intense. He looked every bit a madman.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8LRJljhzz
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJkamRkwKQ
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNU7TVvAJu
Aizawa: "Natural disasters… rampaging villains… freak accidents… The world isn't fair, Ochaco Uraraka. Calamity is always just around the corner, and Heroes are the ones who correct that unfairness."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVTCKEQcaE
Kiri couldn’t help but slightly nod her head. Unlike everyone else here, she knows just how brutal the outside world can be. This is only fair.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJrrCmzrIm
Aizawa grins again.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCCoGae5Sw
Aizawa: "If you were planning on hanging out for the next three years, you're in for a rude awakening, kids. UA will do its best to put you through one hardship after another, because villains and disasters don't discriminate. The only way we can ensure you survive to be splendid heroes is by ensuring you are the strongest, so bring it on. That's PLUS ULTRA."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC2q5jMb9k
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ZOBBdLha
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBsUR5Djym
The rest of the class was looking determined, bolstered by his words. Kiri smiles at her big brother; he really is coming into his own.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0RTnYlHx3
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXniEtqRl
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8g7FdMBGX
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vXhVghkW1
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJF570ODOt
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5wvd3db2V
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLzZC03ZKd
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpsbiARylT
Kiri looked back at Izuku, who gave her two thumbs up and a smile. She’s almost thankful for her smaller form. She can’t use her full power and upstage everyone, risking alienating her and her onii-chan.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLosTJ5S8N
But more than that, this smaller form means she doesn’t have to hold back. Something she never quite got the hang of. Her best in this form shouldn’t be too far removed from the rest of the kids.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlxkoHmpkt
Everything should be fine.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQYzB5h71Q
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZeL8vBGBu
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuj9JGp4PP
Mina was basically skating on the track with a really slick acid. It enabled her to go pretty quick, but not as fast as Kiri, who was running normally.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeT7CXxPbW
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTqLIyFS1c
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDH2mj5SGx
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5WCqYCqAs
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQQensIFNt
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jScnHewu7
The next group was Katsuki Bakugo and Tsuyu Asui. Katsuki used his explosive Quirk basically like an afterburner. How he didn't just fall over was a mystery.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAuyzlgo2h
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3bmQLEOUo
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhb2CoHUvl
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIP4PuruT9
Next up was Jiro and Iida. Iida pulled up his pant legs, revealing a thicker-than-normal set of calves, which quickly grew six pipes on each leg. He also rolled up his sleeves, and two larger pipes grew on his elbows.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIUr5fVwQ
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBWxiQ12js
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSggoR3CjBk
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2C9SXAY7i
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WsBx1m9Bx
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0F4u8bdqI
Iida replied while sipping from his bottle, but his eyes were on Kiri. Her speed was unreal and is comparable to his. But unlike his, she didn’t need to recharge.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SbtbQ9lXK
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRjMexwheq
Next was Kaminari and Tokoyami. This was more of a physical test than a quirk test for them. Their quirks just weren’t suited for it. And because of that, their times were around average.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW8NHD1Oxq
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDG5VwxfWs
Next up was Eijirō Kirishima, the red-haired, boisterous fourth-place competitor in the Entrance Exam who only missed taking home the bronze by a few points. He has a highly fit body and so has the potential to win against some of the students here. But he’s against Izuku.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeulZgMaVH
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3X31TfGcJ
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPae38m7Ez
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTxXUImfMy
Needless to say, the flyer won.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ8MERCgE3
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCOEH9uX5J
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73qvSGUIgT
It took all Bakugo had to stop himself from doing something stupid. It won’t solve anything, and he knows he’ll reclaim his spot at the top soon enough.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZQlAChSE
Next was Hanta Sero and Mezo Shoji at the starting line. Despite Mezo’s athleticism, Sero’s Tape quirk, allowing him to reel himself forward, gave him the win.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoJK3q5Gdr
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdT23mGyft
The last race had everyone a bit excited. Due to the odd number, this was a three-way between Momo, Uraraka, and Shōto Todoroki. The latter of whom got in due to recommendation.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov3pHEllL5
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF39C5Qs9e
But don’t let that fool you; she is worth every inch of that recommendation. Despite the stiff competition, Momo’s creativity won her the day.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzIZnz76hI
But at the cost of some of the boys’ noses to bleed. Momo unzipped her top, shrugging it off to reveal a very mature physique. Her black bra started glowing a rainbow of colors, and when it cleared, she instead was wearing bandages that were tightly wrapping her chest. Her shoes also glowed and turned into perfectly fitted skates. Finally, a small glow from each hand had two small tubes grow from her skin.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlqfrXEL8X
The gun sounded, and the two top students were off, leaving poor Uraraka behind. Shoto used his ice to skate across the field, but that only helped Momo.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LP7VwGp8H
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQZq6Ru5pM
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkoGZL06gw
Jiro: “Crazy.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ7RJBQP8f
Mina: “Amazing!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K1gOi3ZVk
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EYfooWVrQ
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyg9Wz9dra
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHxZbBuY6L
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyiqNOzCfG
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT9EPqwOf4
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbjgYuzFQU
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2IDzlBLnX
Kiri: “Nh.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dEHqiFK92
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”

The first set of exams was over, and so the group headed to the next locale, the gym. Along the way, Izuku asked Momo a question.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuAhGaUuHf
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZnXEsbpKW
She smiled brightly at him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33xC7gofyw
Momo: "Thank you Midoriya-san, though I must say the same. I'm quite curious about your own quirk as well. My quirk is named Creation. Using my body's fat cells as a building block, I can create any non-living thing as long as I know and understand its molecular structure."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xF8TKjnnU
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAchy8jrzG
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth7ZsMAJL8
Momo: "Thank you, Midoriya-san. Additionally, as long as it doesn't stop touching some part of my body, I can further alter anything I create. That was why I was able to change my bra into those chest-bindings but not the U.A. track suit. It does take a bit longer to do so and requires more concentration, despite the benefits. The second I let go of them or they stop touching my skin, whatever I create becomes a permanent object."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVcwrz8Md5
Izuku: “Hmm, can you bring your creations back into your body when you don't need them anymore? That way you regain some of your stores?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3BoTxMXiX
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wQBNsKWYW
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YiMWhswiT
She gave him a warm smile, and he turned red, starting to stammer. She giggled in response, finding it a bit endearing. However, this little interaction made a certain someone feel a bit… strange.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGp2rrsU7r
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG0pLV3HiR
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QX0TOCTBp
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS5vUPR2dC
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDLwFXhpsW
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YPf9uRHtP
Kiri: “I’m not?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPvEpZvDm9
Izuku turned to her and could see the sudden sadness in her eyes. Then he felt the stares. It was at this moment he knew, he fucked up.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LvJgqG9iN
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcWmocO8hC
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dV9x6aOFY
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRawl9v9QPe
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9awu6axoF2
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAVQMumTYK
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf64HOcBiL
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ZV4j08rd
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFlZgFLDgw
Grip tests.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdemKUHa5Ec
Not much of note happened here, since most of the students got decent scores at best and awful scores at worst. The standout, again, was Momo. She completely blew everyone away by creating a functioning JAWS OF LIFE and getting an error reading. It took her a few minutes of reading from a large book she carried with her and quite a bit of concentration before she was ready to create it.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue1p140atS
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4jXGpAuKO
As for Bakugo and Kiri, they broke their measurement devices. Leaving their score for this test, blank. But considering Kiri broke it instead of blowing it up, it was clear she was the strongest one here.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxrS2kJiU9
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6WWIgVMgN
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYERzfqQcNl
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN79yRGlmR
At this point the class had done away with alphabetical order and were merely taking turns and trying their best. A clear chasm was forming between the top and bottom of the class. It was clear that some of them didn't have suitable Quirks for these types of situations. Sadly, Jiro had ranked last in every single test so far.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZqxerD5C3
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirMg83ziXM
The next test was the softball pitch, which Katsuki threw a fit over not being able to try again on, as he felt he still could have done better.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG45ChmcCv
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9pvFXDR77
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR2ywRlQvT
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjclypVMTnv
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTnfbhSyDi
The day finished quickly after that. The last test was a marathon run, which Kiri crushed, despite Momo using a bike and Ida being a living engine. She just never got tired.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVD4mSuCYy
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RtDPAMQob
Aizawa: “It would be a waste of time to explain how everything was calculated since it was only your performances recorded. Let's just get to the final rankings."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMSm4SFHrX
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZEH5l43T
The top 5 were obvious.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWuWN0qPB
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk8tGR3V2T
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tAFRRaaJW
The explosive teen was boiling mad, and the only reason he didn't let off some steam was that he was sure Aizawa would punish him for it.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t8PPvFpEE
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuxwbX7nM0
6. Tenya Ida
7. Fumikage Tokoyami
8. Mezo Shoji
9. Eijirō Kirishima
10. Ochaco Uraraka
11. Mina Ashido
12. Tsuyu Asui
13. Denki Kaminari
14. Hanta Sero
15. Kyoka Jiro
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosnjJUrBsY
Yep, dead last.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nfqd4pjpA
Jiro: “No… ”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSwv4myTuL
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BMQbDA877
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5JIjRWkO0
…
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMHtpp1R83
…
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4zGeFrJfU
HUH!!?
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTGbSJs206
Everyone was floored by the admission.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsyIMuDSXk
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYuVqZcPiS
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFxh0mBtDC
Jiro: "Yes!"
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFweaaWtKM
Momo breathed a sigh of relief. She was pretty sure it was a ruse but didn’t want to get her best friend’s hopes up in case she was wrong.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMXs1kgfwi
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcie69hy2A
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtpuWNtk3D
Kiri: “Lair.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbrQefiDdi
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vuc0oWZyv
Aizawa: “Come again?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwN6sXL1DP
Kiri: “We… are going to be heroes. It’s a dangerous job with no…second chances. UA is suppose… to prepare us for that. So… ”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7VBSrGV9s
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMfgAnZEQm
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmijcseIpw
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWAuNNkrDY
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMagu7HYKgL
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkqZkoGTk5
Jiro: “Ugh.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctCh6eZ1OO
Momo: “Kyoka!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P153Zjdig
Aizawa: "I was NOT lying about someone being expelled. In my time here, I've expelled a hundred and fifty-four students. Last semester I expelled my entire class in just under two weeks."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToQjJjqygZ
Momo's eyes went wide, but she didn’t take a step back. Instead, she grabbed Jiro’s hand, hoping for the best. That maybe, this is just a warning.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cHrvgxwGa
Aizawa: "Understand this: the only reason you are not going home today is that I see a meager amount of potential in you. Yes, you weren’t suited for these tests. You may think it’s unfair, but life rarely is. So, if I thought you had no prospects at all, I would have cut you loose immediately. There is nothing crueler than letting someone chase around a half-baked dream."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuseFLcLDrY
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NZJxLwHoK
Aizawa: "And that goes for each and every one of you. If I feel you're slacking off and not being serious about your position here, I won't hesitate to kick you out."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhJJ4nqglk
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXfkN2Ie8g
He turned back to Jiro.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCQJe6zy9y
Aizawa: "You need to work harder on your fitness. Your quirk will mean nothing if you’re caught by a villain or expect a civilian to do half the work when saving them."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2cCQX9lqq
Jiro’s mind returns back to when she tried to save Uraraka. She did not have the strength to save her alone and needed the one in danger to pitch in. If the others weren’t there, what would she have done?
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7wPHGGo4e
Jiro: “I… understand.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEahGMyng7
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYxCokVALB
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgL7QQjJ76
“N-no sensei!”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9be3GjIItz
The droning from his students sounded at him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCb4nniA0l
Aizawa: "Good. Have a good day and be prepared for tomorrow. If you thought today was hard, you won't be ready in the slightest for tomorrow's trials."
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YpnaX97Vo
He whirled around and walked away without a look back.
Several people had lost feeling in their legs and slumped to the floor, hearts racing and adrenaline pumping. Most affected, of course, was Jiro.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGFkRW5MRB
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf8Sq2jRIQ
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWkQKAhdFw
Momo helped her best friend regain her footing. Izuku looked on with worry, wanting to help, to comfort them in some way. But it wasn’t his place right now.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ifTf1P2M6
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigjJDtHSeN
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAvnfQBDbM
Except for a few who weren't affected by the speech and left quickly, it was a much subdued group that finally made it back to 1-A.
