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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UEuneybj5
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIGDBcm5LW
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSurROzRTiv
She was holding back tears.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJJksUuRA2
Inko: "So, so proud."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDuBhkjDSi
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOtbuxCX3Z
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ki88aSvzb
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1uSAmuFsM
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lk5OH0N75
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKDFBRq7LM
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqDdBtpm95
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgaV6COWMZ
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd28wS0dxGe
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqVdl4gab
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2qEMS9Bav
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJSdcc3rW0
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdqFEcmrN3
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhIYkmwND0
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO6n0H79De
Kiri: “Big.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEKcQE2dMa
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4jZlc2YVz
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP8v6rnK85
The class of 1-A.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltQRbMnu9
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrFARRSJmA
Kiri: “Nh!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGRGkRweII
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzO5j5Nmfq
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!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf8ZxGU4Cg
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpWP0oe5zV
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbyoSERrFo
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyqm5p3WcT
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FVDEasWfJ
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqoNOD4uPU
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC00yUG9rVx
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfdIMMUAJ1
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIw2k1tc1m
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11NhaAC5zA
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8XPmcqaWT
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ytCDNPDa
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PfSbUuMEH
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnHOYjraHg
He gave Izuku a short bow.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHBjQidVQn
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMXhIVLbul
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAKAbBS1Jj
Kiri: “Hello.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6M1o0cTK2
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX3FnVIH5J
Kiri: “Um?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpXHuV7RSk
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjew0RFB1O
Ida: “The hero points.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCvAZdTaAa
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWGyG3Koir
Ida: “Then why-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYtMYZt53l
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL21aPOXNbL
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK45GJbYzW
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVTYvUBhL6
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvk4Jn0cQG
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHMXsfAXpj
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDXIasWWX
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!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYPX8zlk4b
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoSZ7d0KTg
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ801LqPLOnM
Momo: “Lucky.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhNvZrmcFE
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVJAkd7OxY
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBphhUNCWrG
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.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT5mpYu4ft
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8KwuZjFi
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mFrk5iI1j
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5quGUISQm
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIitvDvAOQ
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1KFX0Erhe
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9POdiGwPv
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?!’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR1ErgAXnU
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRTLuL52Hc
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!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGyOt2ogfz
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ65zn8sIP
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCY5tT2k99
Jiro: “What the-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY56jt34Zvx
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ORQzpvWl
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstVp6JjLxj
No.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWYmGm3Iog
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPcJRTjwoY
"This is the Hero Course."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwrWKNqq5r
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qNnZxvVed
"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?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgj4OQE8R0
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD6ucNOfRr
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8yccBKgcr
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOcEZ3Ohun
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaXrSDAkGm
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFz5cCLEwQ
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJg3ud52E
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt66wryRKwf
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAAg1CPLOj
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZzerl2ixw
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3fUkaX2aa
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hviEGTKrK
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1z66KLXkN
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvsmZhAbJW
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9u13ibwEZ
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rgnOeLKtG
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWec6GYDtc
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hfi0Vh7PX
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6TYjcfIAN
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadf5IKRz4z
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjVnX0YvTC
Bakugo: "DIE!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU5t2T3Txc
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWKIjVfiSE
‘Die?'
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7YSYfFTeR
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOHpGqRm7W
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPsayzC7ud
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOF1ahKPFJ
The class erupted into various reactions.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh7pF8GwNu
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr69tIdYvU
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCyoJeGYIM
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavANEmLg8V
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5rCvrQ24O
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeifLxvLQrG
The pink girl yelled again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlQw2W8yGz
"This is going to be so much fun!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyNLqViR0m
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlcQ5H0WhG
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ133tNp16li
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QCHabPRLt
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1lIcs2p3o
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPsbIofyKx
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDqNQP3AAg
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2tfZOg8qM
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUC1BenMxe
Aizawa grins again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Fx7gJOsi
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaKlJSXWLV
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr3CGjzvuA
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZKdh6ppeg
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyAASrm2vR
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jOluyfytz
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1CkThIYkP
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM7efqSMSv
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Inv5zaRJJ
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxWELnMsAT
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7unj5O4sND
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR4MgEXnys
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43YfGa5nra
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbxxKDeqn8
Everything should be fine.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdNBJInl6w
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqwNsBMSQ2
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXGBEXVZWt
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXdHVWDeTh
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidf6Es3FuG
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHgyJ2305q
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1WhJXRku7
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqtMT7IVuw
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNZgbO9Vne
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKMQZ4GN2A
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVnlEluMSc
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQWCpb2jg
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmf9GarVQt
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVnzR99hXr
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyQufnyviS
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkNQYMK61G
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzF5Yxffoq
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JHWtMfAvE
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh2gJ3UznY
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWifyd70ug
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoQEIeTDCk
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEGng8XsjJ
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIppzWGG5G3
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmdYeoCmuK
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46FmlREjfk
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61d8A3aY8y
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ75WDXk4qs
Needless to say, the flyer won.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgK5nwIBjz
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRDxzk7AIg
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcze5E8mzCL
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyYbGRRAr4
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFT0wNDLdT
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs9KddoUtB
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCVQMyRud7
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3dnaaoQc0
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3RNZTIMre
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdM7Bwm6Aw
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyXV4sl70B
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DCA4k3jtR
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd4o0YDWwf
Jiro: “Crazy.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt5jpHqlzF
Mina: “Amazing!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsIbfzRbbD
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgflMYCy6
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMV5ajQuA2
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OUpJ6vh6w
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNByv7qQyvS
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TIxsIG7m7
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85X8tyYFc8
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNCAmYrWDa
Kiri: “Nh.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJHgbFl3nC
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoMAh9ZdY3
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Kxy0voWa
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpyoM2WYFS
She smiled brightly at him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMk2eMKJwg
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWi9L19mtL
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GyMmwS6yg
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6KpfUXEbe
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR7DZFdvDe
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?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9KRxSZmVi
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIqsLHKMzP
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEIboJxzq7
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcjoWk8uwv
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfvuG0V1JP
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJQXLZFNG2
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKIzeIR2H7
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClmL9YkHug
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLy7ePs76U
Kiri: “I’m not?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpehenc6JDj
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEKZG4u2Qh
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbaxc5LPpe
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4MlvQ0RWF
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5ca2yBDQp
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTtA8tIRTT
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH25v0k5WwX
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ofuH1fK9b
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbFf9g0hql
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqau99gXTQ1
Grip tests.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQkVg6Ros
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymErhtwIjG
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYZXU3TILX
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZlhz05i3R
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qVTGUMwOr
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVaOai4kvP
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7btWVPOyL
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYSxd289YO
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq54Z2Df2o
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWjb2ZvRkD
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5qxjk6Flv
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVrjisWWWU
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoxn5aNiDC
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLCkJQyGNd
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iXrxyvY6e
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcHtxdcdEz
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCPeVxpctz
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0kXbQBoLN
The top 5 were obvious.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQzmzrDmgx
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoZ8loQQl2
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4BpDbTtAJ
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlwQjmpPWj
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrZ9VGVYy3
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
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo95ZAv3ZyK
Yep, dead last.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBgCb01R3
Jiro: “No… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzKuvkNCEP
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYgPbxa9KB
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22EjIik6PW
…
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcGtakkCxL
…
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVd6cCPWtt
HUH!!?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKTTmtB4fP
Everyone was floored by the admission.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ63wVZ1Zg
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMdxdrbvmb
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynLjav4LDu
Jiro: "Yes!"
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQMgDJDVkG
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1cvBuTJL7
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuCclhg7vr
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOJilnAWcZ
Kiri: “Lair.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9cFDMrNQ6
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgFgf4fiYV
Aizawa: “Come again?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sbwYtZhEF
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… ”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvPZyRzqgw
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG1NbG4H8O
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbdl2wBfOQ
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGNG9PKOe1
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU7KctoI8w
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPjGZlR3hI
Jiro: “Ugh.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHX177ZeIc
Momo: “Kyoka!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2rwBr5vBD
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBQe0askov
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFB84AOnaQ
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWKFsUZZP3
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtQxBUUnvO
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mns6FYeXP
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX8ybQIexA
He turned back to Jiro.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Yj1uQ1Qz
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6c4rNV79d
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?
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcSbKyMh7J
Jiro: “I… understand.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL06ZBLSDaf
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4elJzkQdV
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1oytUxUsJ
“N-no sensei!”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdkg80s2v
The droning from his students sounded at him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIb0EZRiEE
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."
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi45UBAVq5E
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6xuBdRvvt
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbTW3bgFJG
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqW9uiZr1C
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.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqAojkV62t
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4kDcadKEQ
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GJxkbuU9D
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.
