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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBicMCSSdd
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a3JlOEEPL
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwTXxYsEmE
She was holding back tears.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nQI5kpgVl
Inko: "So, so proud."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mlBqoa9BT
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjIZlSPIix
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQED0RlDB
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AXIYdgznb
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnD670cX4k
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbyTzflMM
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFfgnlp6Rr
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3F4ncd6hA
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhCHclUkVx
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnUqWX9VCf
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH1HIrlJz2
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g0thZ14ni
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtAVc1q9HF
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiHcXKmXKA
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fPG0VNNvD
Kiri: “Big.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMabTOZMbOx
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO07FgdkmY8
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eDZOsr0KT
The class of 1-A.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ805Y1EupUh
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74poGfCxME
Kiri: “Nh!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDvTCc9hJ8
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxFpPXzUW
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!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3Cu3kWKms
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRMgq03Uyd
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGHodsMMrS
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1KIPMusR1
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdRoUxWZgv
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xSbWIbywi
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXlv8wMLwJ
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNlfbSCP9X
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNsSbDznLb
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLUHMvM5w3
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj03uHh72oT
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHdNtGPtuD
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRBUtxXPDb
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NCfTqzQKy
He gave Izuku a short bow.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmQXj2kbY7
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeFYquRega
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfamNIGlOv
Kiri: “Hello.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRi78Jxs4M
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupcaS9OuO4
Kiri: “Um?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqwzDnYsfg
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5DRvBnciI
Ida: “The hero points.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdWiZbnmml
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOP5kip4bB
Ida: “Then why-”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhyGu61mMq
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFJgBSmo2K
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNb8bTMd0
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxG5hg4pWd
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7IMGcsuj6
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG0erKYia1
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOlp81ue3o
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!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NnYnQJZ9f
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bDO1UsEtz
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtntPSHxPJf
Momo: “Lucky.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWeAMg1Av0
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEf8KWbxWR
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuzazuLO9E
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.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthTSWb5bM0
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZgn1OPx1k
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWl8UB0Yel
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycaqtL4Fjy
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSJhMlXGtB
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccbC9ClJQ6
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUcE1JRMa6
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?!’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWgtoV8RZ1
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGZO6Iw8mt
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!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOWatS6pia
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YggLuPK29
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwvQrRmMxa
Jiro: “What the-”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn90XfnOLpG
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNtYeXnRuK
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HS6o5s9a9
No.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz1Q1aveWC
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9SbMxOADj
"This is the Hero Course."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQG1NeijoW
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmTUVL39o0
"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?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15RpAi73lu
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKnxrRQAT0
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlKGqqc5Lk
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38SPPIH0MD
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMiED4YEL7
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX7OZFabZC
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV78xHVfmd
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz7Yluk8KX
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzXQuBPbj4
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMArjhd8rvH
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWszOhxcWx
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnl2K4ivbw
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzirMOTKzyr
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Iw4IkIXHe
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMncW4KjHov
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlhRqTBB0
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFZHh4ELOP
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS6icPMTfv
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXdLgWKPoa
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2B6R4N24b
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcFAPxUDol
Bakugo: "DIE!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzN2OBTsvq
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaJGkINSq3
‘Die?'
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRI6YZuMFM
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ5n4NNT4F
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL16Gwb9IvR
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbH9zrtHu5
The class erupted into various reactions.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaw0OBlyu1
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPwmsENVlO
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9WHrOFmOb
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiia4a1u5T
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5N6rC35c7
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeNn51d3vO
The pink girl yelled again.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jalOa8WK2
"This is going to be so much fun!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXkw9uzShD
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS3N5napZ5
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0IMEgZIU3
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmYuITCklu
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aqQV5Wxd4
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2cj83Sh0n
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUGcssPxYt
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aWM04gurn
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLbOJGQriF
Aizawa grins again.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw4KdbONna
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YmMSYAqIm
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMRwenUDoc
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY6CaaRFE8
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ym3QUOg3U
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s4NpIYKLf
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvWeX5zNKK
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHZGa5W8yD
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFKmIZQfrT
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIDjXb5BbW
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIcpUNiWL1
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jzsgfkpsi
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7mBrGClQK
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes5V7LFfUf
Everything should be fine.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0RNPzqvS
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo22z86opg
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA73PkxlbP
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXutUkpeYlH
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9LQumaFFI
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99qn2g2kB2
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBbxCeLYv8
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WfFewlxub
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncm0rnsL0M
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnJATVkaoR
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9wvonHEp4
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1pGD6JBkk
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhVshpjYdg
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMirxR6RQu
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIseXw7mSxE
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHh1E9bwWu
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCzkjRVULv
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBXjHqkeB9
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe44qEwdCpl
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzIviKLcvX
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjEZ1cGwtG
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iLsKCQE7H
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r31ZuksYx
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkLnNwAeJT
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CatDqXy0W
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8EnZHVp7f
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22z8qAhcfE
Needless to say, the flyer won.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLtaaCKkrI
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm0z0kee1E
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnPtdESDRV
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyywewiLFLl
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxf3HP1uYi
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q6sYie59K
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCaHqA7Cw0
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKLqIIFlvX
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfWP63XsZ5
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuCQpLcbNP
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE1W3RRAcY
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HQmh6rs3M
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vaRVzr7Dx
Jiro: “Crazy.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuauAnlxkpw
Mina: “Amazing!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewnROMMDzR
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3u7WC8Dry
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAuNjRQiNp
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLL5KB5BMA
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BnGhN6KD0
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1TepFHgTA
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfG76CYywW
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVyH116Yah
Kiri: “Nh.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WBhtcXnXl
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFzlsQ63PV
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jAPkWWzr9
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawVXB1LupW
She smiled brightly at him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSs0EWvEpS
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipU8RUGPj6
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaIKVhDzP1
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7VVHDaVp
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraxzryYwGH
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?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RvB2QLFeP
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz69KuCLXb
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPuYVziHf0
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i3egLAyKr
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJIHQ4k4Z7
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYGgRTGeWp
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLRHWENB3R
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPHq8loVQL
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnsjxZznMZ
Kiri: “I’m not?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2uEVYcblY
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmiEzqQ5MS
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7nuaEjR7V
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOt3PifSnG
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa9u7r6U7y
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6C8jMOIQu
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLANuUYMrHo
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT0TXVcciq
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr4gE7kE0t
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4SWISxhJf
Grip tests.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPeITxuEes
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9k43fVEw7
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsJfEBFv9o
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6dCnKF18j
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCRR2RhTQH
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPSMmfa9Hp
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGAZDHNlc2
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29XcomOD7p
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE3HmAK5I7
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGpzZ7g2LJ
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMlYtaJveK
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY53nlkmMH
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N8LV7sdqh
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vEQpVVzzQ
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6oaLcnTLZ
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgzCMhWF4
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3JLrsCxg2
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49wolO7eLV
The top 5 were obvious.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg0nKD8xVg
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54aDtQ128N
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZUwvoctd
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJxxF0p0Ds
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrahcJsU1s
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
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUslbEIOcis
Yep, dead last.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gDf67XDvB
Jiro: “No… ”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AMcQImWAE
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAzlRnHrLr
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlto89A4mS
…
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XWZc1Ouz
…
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqFi2m5dRO
HUH!!?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lLLdGmbLZ
Everyone was floored by the admission.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPBCyFwOIP
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqCIFdBEV5
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYaR0u6hox
Jiro: "Yes!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ724W0IpBUb
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5apQR6YdG
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFn363Pykg
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY9kweXZWE
Kiri: “Lair.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLXdsnaLPF
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqoWCCwDtF
Aizawa: “Come again?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenA1lqQ1M5
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… ”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlrv4v51ij
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPZJOOmX0v
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX5BLdbmMu
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9TDEMIthe
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9aAA9rDsT
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRETBYl3B1F
Jiro: “Ugh.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHZT3YPPon
Momo: “Kyoka!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbrZ2ZZTPz
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSNqnfcDCa
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtptMZ4oaX
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtVe2EXBoN
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcchxpx2ga
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30byw1GL1E
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRb6OjuVWH
He turned back to Jiro.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNXRc9dMPC
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX6BQ4not2
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?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgjm70Dxbu
Jiro: “I… understand.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK9uzY4DcI
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj8EUCkCHd
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIIJMVihOy
“N-no sensei!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFF87sjMQz
The droning from his students sounded at him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1DNYkALe8
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."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU53rXojaQJ
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q8pKwlkcP
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkunENBfy8t
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQBw6fEGKM
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3KQmmBuRm
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp4CYgcHkc
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpOc6DEtLh
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.
