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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRP2ZNaZxa
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf2lVBqibe
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEn68eiRWh
She was holding back tears.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzDFcwdYYL
Inko: "So, so proud."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4VnRAM1Yq
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IvcRJKpCf
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UhkK97OHV
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYq5id0WDv
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBczlnHGXVR
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3UT0p4u1u
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuU1ZCycfA
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoktZw6EIKU
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HAXkYm8tA
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7GEhSn3Gw
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdNjk3jhVx
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgwGnD2TQD
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NnH8xvIVR
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lhLkVNTJi
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJC6rGNECR
Kiri: “Big.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sxGB34YRZ
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7AQOiNGhp
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenWBKpdc8G
The class of 1-A.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMFT26W75e
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1LLW5K6Ob
Kiri: “Nh!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCKoveYUL
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfkteCWVaX
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!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKycR2B8e4o
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgSiagCWgP
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymC76wvOUU
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTa0LSujEU
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MJvXpG96q
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg44eqQgsd
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYLYPhuzr8
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmtF8LeNCF
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi9TVAeF3u
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5f5T76uJJ
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrBxm08K6N
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkhCP9maJa
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoY5c87JkK
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK030wZNP2c
He gave Izuku a short bow.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyVDOTgWE1
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjVGwqm2oT
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bXhAO9YzX
Kiri: “Hello.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVYtV2JUNt
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5bDh9DY9y
Kiri: “Um?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhFrI09rfQ
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTBvwmcsdi
Ida: “The hero points.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKtNbNofyB
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNUC9CmSDq
Ida: “Then why-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfRvr37qGe
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5WRpMwzO
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qkE9VwsUs
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hvCVIKrql
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlryb67358g
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvONqAPnGj
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42NIbeTgqu
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!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6eXao5es8
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASwwgSkdd6
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRKAIxRnV2
Momo: “Lucky.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zRp0UTlxY
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR3Dx6aYoS
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKYhfVTvJe
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZrvbRQFd0
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXyTdl152
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAh1I70iry
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2SySKptWZ
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBhnCS9TIK
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsT6FAUVY
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMOUWhc9TQ
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?!’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFiSxP1MzE
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuikdG60iz
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!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfFz9zrKcM
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqjDVIfJkB
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBwXGG4Dx8
Jiro: “What the-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinh8HJ0N7Z
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPaINEFNQ
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u47L3eAvs
No.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa15Fego7Hx
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN82DEc0vt
"This is the Hero Course."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLMMHFTWfU
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXGhaT78SO
"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?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYaXsEghXs
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMXLqHvNWi
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaa3xwDK7X
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsbAUbTZLs
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWNzXc81MG
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7oxBadggK
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf4a5PkLU6
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAa0Typox8
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUUZ6qSpxa
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xdyGL6rZg
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV14nagXwx
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouCxcrjjDI
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGNPaYAQvn
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUmiIsTQ72
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ibe5l9Yii
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJLAadCVCj
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlABRhxTbE
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWnOS6AvOf
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJlVrmhhlW
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKcqpxaR4
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz8WmDcD84
Bakugo: "DIE!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC7TSJBd8z
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzWsmU4mqO
‘Die?'
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HJoMuEqLr
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkQPQa1m5y
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJXXpJhOHQ
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnm9zi6Fij
The class erupted into various reactions.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOwd3PurYH
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7f3dMB0X9
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQitdJRNgu1
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdPU0BJ6uq
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7liY6U6ke
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmTlwaV8Db
The pink girl yelled again.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ0EdiHufF
"This is going to be so much fun!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiBdfImAxc
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuf2EjyMcz
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqvVJzKXTt
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XpVrR45H
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqoi7qzi6T
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPdBOfXVzr
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TUrNbFQwg
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCYRnv5Ge5
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylHx5fcWw4
Aizawa grins again.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvUbTQWiWJ
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJNPFt9bCo
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5thsrPJRF
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4abXKQEFXx
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hf7QXR0pd
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jnuGZZ0GW
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2HprYjxSh
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1SIeOozHn
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBvrXmrSSn
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYUNLahV5k
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgA5977kzp
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuvRsPMqy3
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9X47TlBRM
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6gik2Ksz
Everything should be fine.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnUDurAVlT
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUwOXEWKD7
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIESPhq8VE
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7hiE17yi0
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UBOLDqdQC
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd1baXSV3Q
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjArDqGn7Z
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwLltbT6DJ
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vbPrcvjGx
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdMNepw0tY
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHWcOKPR0e
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNFyg4Exe4
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujYzeDZrQ3
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRAPN7By2v
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkwJGcxhac
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV2h8zl8Qy
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcDglyRmbf
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RauBhDNVL
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2BMpQggS8
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba2DyeBVyu
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHHy3DOtqs
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvjx8L5bkm
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiU4VVndHG
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk1FnYWC79
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kahzs0NTy
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwadr5uwvm
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSyoozCBts
Needless to say, the flyer won.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQcc3v5wWC
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhcuBWozJW
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpcPf4N5xY
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoMlraF2pF
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlzi5pc8PI
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK0iE3kcIk
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAzh3XDweJ
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRz0C47Ye0
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ew8l8kFuz
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8QTAjfl4W
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgWojq7ATl
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpFewD8Q6l
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFYWVMOFdo
Jiro: “Crazy.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJbjiNOW42
Mina: “Amazing!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F2CRH2uW4
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKcwLtp4tb
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFBL9cjqWZ
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPaFm5Rc6w
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXmsSz7hGf
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.

Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpcgAdNWxa
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhsb8yjNNf
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70PrmiJfZz
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdnVAiKj0U
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyP61qvcF7
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFz6AJatRX
She smiled brightly at him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo4XmpCo4i
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rg8qOv1sD
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzPeC5sJXR
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGplLGlkaih
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q8gT8AIRY
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?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhDhh6BaaK
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIly7lxL0x
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2BmGDhzMQ
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yaQaiBjUD
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbfKFW5LTa
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NA7Ksi1V2
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXSM9rPvLV
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDTMBPsv9W
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuOCch5ux3
Kiri: “I’m not?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMHxgdwJxP
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYw7P0cDlv
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW8X0tZ9o9
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuh91SOtKj
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhY53p90Fb
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD4C8XXq8J
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVf4ZkWCLu
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQMgwIw8Ar
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqEhnMvy0f
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oi42vO3nb
Grip tests.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEjTC6JUfp
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tlu8svtbA
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBxWWq5yZp
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt8k3tDi1g
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeUNqfeSj1
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHUNCJuQV5
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm8OvQTu52
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyly9KTiwN
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJvPFM3eom
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRqrrvOnN6
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYeGelEgXJ
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wpFWlISOT
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfFuDJF8lJ
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNqgSytrNb
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T77jGmffe
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnToRGQZAku
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpilmYF8LZ
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifofaXYaBc
The top 5 were obvious.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDOInLQaQV
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf2iJBR9rS
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkZc2swqVc
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIET2fM4mE
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lIe4kF4OU
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
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AJekByX2N
Yep, dead last.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILFZGHk0W9
Jiro: “No… ”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQXisRRfVq
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE3lLrT0zU
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbFAiuwFok
…
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspAfuF2S8
…
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsp1m0nV3v
HUH!!?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs3I8G61lc
Everyone was floored by the admission.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrFhEiFjhd
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX5T0NJsNM
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwKd1VZgil
Jiro: "Yes!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZvASUP8h
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6q1dfztTk
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLIGlewwgn
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90xqYIfRQZ
Kiri: “Lair.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorQGwTwteA
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw32rFA1oH
Aizawa: “Come again?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu5I4CpPyf
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… ”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygUtUXEXxE
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtY5OKnvki
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpaOTFlt1N
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz8o5HaaCE
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPSYrkqZtu
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0OyLVj9dw
Jiro: “Ugh.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblkJnHBMMX
Momo: “Kyoka!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpitBEhgqS
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e8AlaAhsY
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTphZCLZ5hC
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEfckDSrOW
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCxL7QP0ev
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbQAzAjj0c
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6rCpbxXbN
He turned back to Jiro.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksCGPcyvRO
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2zCxNEWBN
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?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0IcR5rBIa
Jiro: “I… understand.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsQQhT9QPJ
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tb6d4Zg5W
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5P7oBhUDX
“N-no sensei!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5EEZKVfD5
The droning from his students sounded at him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D7fpjciAm
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ZWbrlbxI
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5vK9eMgzc
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtHX56rsr9
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI89sLkbUB
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeydbCl7tg5
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DcCIzpFGA
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafLSJdQYen
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.
