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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5doxpTkAd
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3QGIBJKUE
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcpFvrJgOc
She was holding back tears.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsrCEQeNx3
Inko: "So, so proud."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJVTabrQqb
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvJd9yrDzk
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvsDY8usCE
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJgKvqvuIv
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWxqVknxmf
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcYvril5v3
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4nw8mOgqK
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplXF2NuSWI
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO7TiQPV7H
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9oMoqT3qT
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhKm00dAa2
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxrKNUkzLs
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqi3Nf2t3u
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf6dM6USE3
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp6SMbTkaS
Kiri: “Big.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfofLxsfjd
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjwyvqFNs
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2nnpPxcLU
The class of 1-A.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty9WvavWru
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzoBu5rf60
Kiri: “Nh!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS88RvBqob
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ivJn7KtEQ
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!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb41lwPQNSB
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYKWspNytt
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN0Pr72hIo
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm5QJLtI1Z
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYAuD3QzuZ
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrKzwAq1TV
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYJFbM8I7Y
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X32qk3UEG
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZvqjWJjIN
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H4bROj540
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeUGnQIDrA
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5cjgs0q8P
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHRzZscjON
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvUtsy66ZT
He gave Izuku a short bow.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0oxMbNbCe
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2wfrj7T1Q
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiB2bQiXsk
Kiri: “Hello.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAV0j66R16
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3WpuJ2KU2
Kiri: “Um?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GasQS93BI
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmrcJaKZgp
Ida: “The hero points.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJco6uiHI5I
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24g1McFTRB
Ida: “Then why-”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHxn0YgjAx
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREAghdpF5h
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLoL1cfpDE
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92WjK2BJqh
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIOKGkJVaC
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSCMG8i8E2
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6cPB8xbMl
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!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL64Zl60L9q
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7VuSzjmtk
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEiPXg7ZD9
Momo: “Lucky.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rTn1GOQms
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNCvTwTaW7
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF5R7infMF
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.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb1jMo6dPg
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzC9wDT0el
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXaw3oaH3
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOnaOz8RWW
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyqEpcp9Tx
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR7r18fTnb
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWJ8Njesyl
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?!’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2TSsdB97k
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPaY6eA4PT
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!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBuVGG0T97
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1vC9tTGnB
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYz9sepnB4
Jiro: “What the-”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nZO8sZOC4
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3LhpnFamN
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVe6SOpame
No.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjFtWh5Ynr
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc35l1YZJp
"This is the Hero Course."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YNjqrDwmy
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6aR0bJBJQ
"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?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHFsJQMwpl
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixVX2HHotI
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPGkQsdkhy
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhz4n3xeag
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0MjSIPB34
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEPK3Jw4uT
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryjSWSycYy
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckEGbfZmr4
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpDLh8UWqQ
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiqpgggbca
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL392yp5Mf6
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuP70E96PB
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05H7zWF31
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK1vyHMECk
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0DR5AdfQA
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwxRBRN7Ni
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR5CBGUTMI
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVEKIZbiUL
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Axllxout
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqwjE4IScf
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DT37YZT8e
Bakugo: "DIE!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxH659gKLK
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2hKidRrT8
‘Die?'
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVBnFI935M
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW97485Zxl
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqvyGw9nyj
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzAguz7BtL
The class erupted into various reactions.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TrRr7XJkW
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPsRxGmZDd
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod8bV213vk
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaeNR61LpI
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WEosXZZJ9
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhafCBdBEW
The pink girl yelled again.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3omm15m9vN
"This is going to be so much fun!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pjf8XNwsS
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbcDOvwbKb
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz28TKZ6wky
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIyQTnWHQZ
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIUyVAw2nc
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZTJqR5zpm
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1sczFCibf
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u09JVAHQK
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqukSKRjhnO
Aizawa grins again.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6nEjK8MGe
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9QaxMpaSF
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaK6zGfwWo
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyPNDgmnJs
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGrGPeK05E
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxI5tLHZv
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHBLmbEfmV
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWll8FN8NL
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ45xNmRdM
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVjr1RtRtm
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFW0zjj3No
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvPgsticY6
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCT8oqvCMC
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLddbTIZu7
Everything should be fine.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLauYKqEkr
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydNg2tU5GJ
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt3FnsbqAg
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKbqfbJlck
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyIx64ZmF7
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKKfZaY1XB
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUQniFDtCz
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECoqsfxfTq
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ97IFM71zu
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaoGJBzUPs
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrJAbVavL4
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhRZuiuwKc
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNZT4AolX3
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uailFKhv8
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Jqg6YR5A
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrq7BbdogR
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ8uwTERUS
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztrkCTXaLI
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJFCFklgee
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfHLboFV8N
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JLgdToahg
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEVMKMo5Bi
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1zY9u5ulL
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc77U6P41B
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM15aCyHNFZ
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16JnriwPK2
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEsVR8I3S2
Needless to say, the flyer won.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNka1rLH1fa
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KHXbH773J
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1qRXi8WtL
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTiy5zJ2vq
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HZM35p2Wl
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjZ1dPvDeL
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXq457wtBs
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CHTNfJxAk
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJZJeOl4yF
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2bb36eXjY
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6BjMKrIl5
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXskX3ERocC
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpb80B37fc
Jiro: “Crazy.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjIXIH2puh
Mina: “Amazing!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZqxhKMGKK
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsSpiQ0SXp
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgQT4lOkqH
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqXC4rfGVr
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFRKxLyWnz
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tz91iBuf4
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVNLcUO7Gn
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaoxuv0B0c
Kiri: “Nh.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o34jgnU0r
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyb6eggbJ1
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkmiw0yXB3
She smiled brightly at him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnICfcFoQq
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2alDi4aZ4S
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGghjQ1efJ
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwwfKSoqVo
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70uFZXmoH
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?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvOlun1S73
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz4lHsIcWg
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwjBKPf21f
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC1hrkCsgD
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEhC5V9unk
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgGQgL8mar
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvutuxfYCDU
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8jDulhcF4
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbSYCloZyo
Kiri: “I’m not?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU3az9YtzG
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1KDS8uvjT
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm33ydVjkN
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3i3jI1dml
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlLmtnjy2u
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMMO1xx29
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAu8mMUuY5
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jtSjjfIit
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1DRNp7PXX
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8AyQ02wMD
Grip tests.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytMVAEWmMh
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZYRUsjU00
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZtpT9XBNW
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqmvbF9c3M
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0c7HFIfJg
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesKYoVR83E
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBhiGomRrf
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcremnAVmDv
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kD2IQVsE8
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wo1j5hS5l
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm89uNDkPLl
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhkzJd76q
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQP16EQyt5
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiqWnRBZqw
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM00ri82ePd
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvttkzFT758
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegefGhxL8f
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiAHi7U3MP
The top 5 were obvious.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOjxwTpgW2
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayPyh75PuP
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRZXNGhxIv
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu0ZYhoHoH
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHhkta3TQ7
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
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbt110IjjO
Yep, dead last.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh1VnWQRvI
Jiro: “No… ”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkT4hctjBz
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ7IBe6KJv
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO2OoJ7TI3
…
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwzgaaalbe
…
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPNGwdNwtb
HUH!!?
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06gOT22S5n
Everyone was floored by the admission.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeckuWJlV8
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfvwMVK0X5
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr6IFoHCQ2
Jiro: "Yes!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8kku8O205
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYSL5ucB1i
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxPUd2MH77
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvH9q7nZTk
Kiri: “Lair.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3UXYcJtOv
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBd0B3dJxS
Aizawa: “Come again?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMJ20IydjY
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… ”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKXWc0y1d2
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL9ZJSGzD0
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7DUasEXD4
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR4HmWbmYY
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE3AwP5tDz
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdIyxHxYxh
Jiro: “Ugh.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HCeb6sRIi
Momo: “Kyoka!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaliMX2MzUL
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16KeuqyjZo
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSvCm5xQGR
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpW7we2BgP
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbHJc0vc8E
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM4WZfGyxZ
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rk2oVRg10
He turned back to Jiro.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKpVGzOgYY
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT4pyQtvmE
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?
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm7eyPyGc0
Jiro: “I… understand.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIHbIL2ERG
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmFdZWXSgr
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmnzFnO6BZ
“N-no sensei!”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy5p1AsVzh
The droning from his students sounded at him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQB8YNL0Xw
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHcJ0F6Pan
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIr0RcFwIt
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRvGUp7VDK
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60k78yvmCz
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVovMBGXcIR
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhrZd1Uq8F
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHbhVkUASw
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.
