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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo4mnjRhEP
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k4JaSqlGz
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLeGwGrrYS
She was holding back tears.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8lJg0hpZ
Inko: "So, so proud."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C1FUH17Tx
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDcKtOVXOH
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ehiOnNgN
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9WYTIouqQ
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDwLzw8Nzn
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkDmimgVXb
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzkLpwpU69
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHoopybYCf
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwMtxiKf6W
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pJHBMrsCZ
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmurzQ1QuU
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEDgSJXNFt
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMlChtiPNl
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52XaorgqPe
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH83rr9u2i
Kiri: “Big.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZh7WRFIps
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQJgZ6pHQ
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMSZu9ROAo
The class of 1-A.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1auLyQ4ZO4
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxnQTITOdi
Kiri: “Nh!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsurt9ipEmL
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01NaRhMLO
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!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNonr9r32D
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqTScEsZHk
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftCLVYnh3B
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWbmujr9br
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKosej0Lkk
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZsWgN3BUY
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MBZW9KZd3
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dJlHNfZv7
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ds6iThaI
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3dw7VGNVh
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo94QfMSGT
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYBkwmn14m
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Dc4HenAO
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mL0bALRF0
He gave Izuku a short bow.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLveIXc4xO9
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlc4D70NF
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc9NPiOvvU
Kiri: “Hello.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AH4QIiy9Y
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgevlA7mX43
Kiri: “Um?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTBKcueTBh
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRxjkGj8a4
Ida: “The hero points.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuGG1t6MoO
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVw92ncSO
Ida: “Then why-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD28tqueEt
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1VD8DSIaU
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnz45qeLa2
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXL4RzVBQu
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCDSTtBFl8
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1JqbBb8V8
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBHukUnERb
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!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL1ouMRE0u
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk2wqz4qq8
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7khFIAOx0a
Momo: “Lucky.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN25QrVuah
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDX80v4aFD
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u2DZfgZRE
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.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Sz1IV8rm
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwqyAKuKWn
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcXfU4bkYw
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri1wMKh7ki
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jKq5IHfUC
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28mDDZ3L2U
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYq6Nfc6AG
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?!’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurM2qqZezu
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpnS1pgbdr
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!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YaL5oSjb
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop2Jl4d2Qy
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsBMmunc02
Jiro: “What the-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOS6SnwvYq
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x9ir5Rvbc
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5jUEZAOhH
No.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD96YX51vq
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNThwYN8yy
"This is the Hero Course."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsDWupvIG6
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT8Jpbyymo
"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?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUZi82cxm9
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JYubKO9s4
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeR23NT3mc
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctNVfXzGq6
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhI4hKvF3W
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tSl35v3T2
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX1nNgGiEk
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a2o5lIyPY
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLLpDFqbJO
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdrlH5r8kl
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygVFBKrSyO
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TyAZ2D85q
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eMaeJPdYu
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqE86VFjFD
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gOqlWrnUC
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTedrEUVpz
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RYMX3bs9y
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9XbHb1Zvb
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGTxafGB5A
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO9FgyP2f4
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ06cYM26Q
Bakugo: "DIE!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA0NTXzwaJ
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylu5IXSpQr
‘Die?'
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL7zn50Oad
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ322dFY8Pt
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkKl61JqZA
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUezIDNNO2H
The class erupted into various reactions.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ILfRP7pxV
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm9gAYfg0y
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqJqnTgjP
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpz34p4tyX
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9v4ttpmwT
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKKhS3oLak
The pink girl yelled again.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrc4MykvB6
"This is going to be so much fun!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU3xpdnroz
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIwVQCYjXh
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoCtRoLlZn
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S941bbI9d
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtVAieoemH
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3CXJRRYVV
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFI2zyK9Tf
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSayZjZEBdg
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABx8R9rij
Aizawa grins again.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8bnYYeoT4
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hy4oH9wjW
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Y56ZHRRy
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsiUrIe0Tc
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxmWeH3fsK
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmfsf4ZVUp
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ce6hi32ga
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckhj8koMnq
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNBdS8Bo6R
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ8841dYRA
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03v3s7VfZg
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb18i8I8sk
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLynUJyaNo
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfzsIzEueV
Everything should be fine.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgllKfvm9AH
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sCDxF229X
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzIWw5k7H
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL7x1BeoB6
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5utoAuULl
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGcpK4ddE
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MZ3uM2WXz
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXZ4zoaVQ
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma7MILVepc
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBvKWwfN5O
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OOBDYnF5L
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyGRTbGUWQ
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJcbjDeTaC
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWlRXFICyF
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FcyIyqhot
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZBCXDeuHI
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEvEjbTAW6
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuER2Dl0Vk
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6wqJrHqZV
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahhmzEfLJ5
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQPUAhhT6
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9TVqt35Vg
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xz6MD4EvX
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0s0RJOnz2
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOKwP11lb6
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EVM5LcGhs
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0txHXtxVd
Needless to say, the flyer won.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6mnXtd1hw
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9G9kJy445
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdOYHmBxS4
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpLQNPSbZW
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dYkOxLopM
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVwRCC8l65
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCrb9GatpE
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aEt5Hjuq9
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kPJVBi4bt
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r7bgC56mb
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqAp3XDD0G
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCEnrfByIC
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7FgL03i39
Jiro: “Crazy.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk6t5cHSDa
Mina: “Amazing!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AUagLqSW3
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ30HevRZe
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uQerI8RIl
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkIvMAAqD5
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRoNM4pntc
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.

Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oITpMNOEV
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3xDt8pqE2
Kiri: “Nh.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC1RKvknli
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw0HMMJlU6
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI2WRg2lvc
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZJIXmq4wH
She smiled brightly at him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbVJgNlJnB
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWeSiB6eCB
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm8hDW6ciG
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSkrajqaz4
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5j5yjA2Ia
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?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOexpAIbKF
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJSW5Zd6z7
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM6loN9j5L
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJITejikmx
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu89Ojp0UIm
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGWc8E8Ppx
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ84qaQA0g
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHVP08gaVV
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdJgHfmUfK
Kiri: “I’m not?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NYBluKTZY
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVI0rkYej7
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YjjS0DXfH
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr26Qdq7x4
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrpipj11ZS
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesu5jUlbb9
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7FklbdVU3
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGH67zRWil
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE30x5pTPSo
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs2ceGnYGx
Grip tests.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6hdYjlQ3G
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oWGlDY9p0
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLbT0OrZ9W
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuSGjFEzTN
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVxXzDhE6
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mjRXa0OpK
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcoc4jOBMe
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1GkAtlTyy
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55bvCQIB6d
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRThM4ovFDQ
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkev5Frxirm
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ioahTrC7
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspdChBSki
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1kix7OEQB
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrrjFn6499
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cndi88ikL
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oQtL0MV8b
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4YfdSUuCq
The top 5 were obvious.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNhn1B1nc1
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShJj20VOXz
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6kMOrI9w
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9FJb6pqPP
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9msiz1JXJ
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
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LHSeqx9yM
Yep, dead last.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2LNHfd82x
Jiro: “No… ”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GScydIPWS
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd38jBExOzg
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScd4RK5N75
…
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM5mxTvFzs
…
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJk7qAZ0Yg
HUH!!?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6nX0T3qqk
Everyone was floored by the admission.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiVFl6wis0
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot5RI7MrLA
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0OdBDYr19
Jiro: "Yes!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXAwC4zioj
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBMq9gd405
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wB2xPhu7U
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsThFVSmVP
Kiri: “Lair.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMOPkvZCVn
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVXC2aIl6z
Aizawa: “Come again?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lj50WOa7a
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… ”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl5qYgVMHd
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nvJhGikT1
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWJMdy3iQ9
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpsZ01Diw0
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0mnQvoKUC
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzYLR862n1
Jiro: “Ugh.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlSugg4y7M
Momo: “Kyoka!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqemj7a3OQv
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm5vNyk8yK
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0vm1s5q2q
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDql0gHgzK
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6raxic4Kow
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9BZZwg3Qa
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR9TCEhdFD
He turned back to Jiro.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSWaGNJP1w
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwCwxsXm1d
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?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLKuDW8NL0
Jiro: “I… understand.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxcn0xABHU
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71wOpDfC8y
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCaM6ifAiB
“N-no sensei!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRENWT8QcA
The droning from his students sounded at him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYo30psJ8G
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstOxmwWrcK
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGwv7evoPA
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf5p80mNUj
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZDIwt8hwg
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3q8xW8VRJ
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlt37Oxklf
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDDGdvbW0b
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.
