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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QdUV98yAK
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo1TZSDcO4
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYIZpTq5Wd
She was holding back tears.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44oltHqhen
Inko: "So, so proud."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYvTCPmUiJ
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofK8J9IAzX
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7CMX3ks9T
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hqtvvUfG3
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKci5Kl36F8
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSWAY8mCuH
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV9JeVcEYt
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P1Q6i0oqa
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IHVUhwEt4
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqVQmpY3Gb
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAAjNbonyY
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBTOv4ovqq
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwUSTslIDh
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhPKn36Yfb
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOCqd8PoI5
Kiri: “Big.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusLl3Dn7R3
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCGLeeb5Cs
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVi94GHaSF
The class of 1-A.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVL3C0fgNP
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCUeM8fR9e
Kiri: “Nh!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R55XfJi4s
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY4WRne511
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!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayVxNMTQjb
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xc8IAiGHh
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWffWjXoRh
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cIWmDnkSu
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7cDL4AMLm
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRot3d7pfu
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJM7mh5Koa
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZN5pF8ka5
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQQu8rWZdV
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqlCWse0MF
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqYmkwQjKL
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEWFQvsEbI
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrbKtRTega
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZf4SK0pV6
He gave Izuku a short bow.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OQr8vGjNr
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuW6K3qxlp
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5c0W08Yn
Kiri: “Hello.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClTvYIJuWL
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn9UQYoVVf
Kiri: “Um?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfiDdaZDCO
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJlhgy9zC5
Ida: “The hero points.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMXjCTen6x
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsMo70Qq1s
Ida: “Then why-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNRuJ3tc4b
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs596Pkjk0H
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKv8aYVyqN
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmXyFZFkSf
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB5P20jUDk
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMDE8q5pnq
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CR2TUT5QP
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!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAOrpc4H9H
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGWBKBOgHS
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKKwtmw2L
Momo: “Lucky.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6p0Mq49nF
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadNxBGCNOJ
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEhPXtXcu4
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.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo8rX2uidx
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv3CBp1Iij
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaGRzQgYyU
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeHCBlKSjN
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM1wNo5R1A
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLfqPZew21
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2VxkBbBDQ
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?!’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGyr47Jdwg
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbb8uSwtFh
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!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIKtb1Hn80
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4tLPZC2Uu
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqRJJLRqL2
Jiro: “What the-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Vc24AL5v
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Ad8TfoTz
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigkFGLpcpm
No.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfBfjzbHFt
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrWnmAEl6E
"This is the Hero Course."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgig28MkBAC
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsJtHNm1We
"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?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ejLvatVO
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7m5plQKat
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZbfDNd2d8
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe2nO2ypav
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02HiEjFyho
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK85VdBdh6m
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JZftzz8DP
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvXIkwVvQg
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2DRdR8cJ3
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE2BIpkvs5
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORi2sZeYDx
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCLvKWNHrm
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vW5FxSdvh
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBYga2CL4j
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN232PhXMp
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3hjeLrj32
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSSEb1y75Z
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtFU9Vd20M
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZ4JiJBRT
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXtfsfZ7SF
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TkQDCh0Zv
Bakugo: "DIE!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMAnDtviU0
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTvvdE5eGp
‘Die?'
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8UskaV4FV
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NR6H3nDG2
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEP784y23I
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2eQGG2u5V
The class erupted into various reactions.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcs1Rs8Bp9
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoPYFWYz9L
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQasssslLA
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfWoQAQd0q
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonLICLT3Tn
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRj0DmrUp8
The pink girl yelled again.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6JF5cnWEs
"This is going to be so much fun!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKxCBg0NKU
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVDaTtodOG
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeKYuEWoAT
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92RwrtQKMC
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrDSTa7AV5
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWef3mNcsHD
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNRfRBFtAI
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFidU4axki0
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphZOCq1BIb
Aizawa grins again.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u7OAp8xzC
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkye1e5NZS
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64XVODqnnX
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpDd6IKpUn
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhJTWVYURz
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm8eXiZWrz
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJnzvZvE3
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP76Lnyb2V
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4PWKVE8A
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPL6ylTpFY
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq8YnYnSVY
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFeDuaQdK2
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfJrs2jDWL
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRxqUO2mMF
Everything should be fine.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31LHOJOGow
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSrqeSKrKq
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBKYV7RBOD
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcRu3ygag3
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnONuwceP
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWcvYigOpD
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZZl4P8On0
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71C4YlIiS2
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEjhOCPyQz
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx8tVg5N7u
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx97Nep0hiU
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Gsy9VATC
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LMy2o3J43
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx88RWbQFRB
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHQirUiGmp
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKLuXJJJjI
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe7chEcYD4
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jLKcb2BH3
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1VDcDevJW
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Ap4U6VOH
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZBb2V9pP
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJueCvBqSVb
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZKyq4zjla
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRHne42ysg
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMHVi9n6GZ
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09jqUzPgBE
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHiTUmvpK
Needless to say, the flyer won.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHRyFdqG1C
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmOqzTVytw
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS5UFnAJXa
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzqV49LwdQ
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSRodKKA5H
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMNEegFTkm
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYbYPKt6Qm
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanjS7BsGhh
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGiA5YPzwv
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI8Xwl83aj
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEat5tfeag
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5up35sYUO
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqeGHWZlec
Jiro: “Crazy.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACCgE2yobG
Mina: “Amazing!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEdCoLksut
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPztJ9zwWyh
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFuYd7Pj2x
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK2zLimdZB
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds

Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0TlzQEbmC
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaHstQr6ld
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSArR1085vv
Kiri: “Nh.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr5garbyCR
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH79EtWoQT
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUhJz5biiO
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBJOsH7hyi
She smiled brightly at him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwr2jUc4x
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBE4SHilkg
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZJe8dHnGV
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRhgxJvOu
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJPiWAb6Zh
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?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WHD9l1qtO
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVIuXfJoic
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GxjCEb8pz
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjvZA1VMVQ
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxKeCuxRdP
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK7NKV2ZFe
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzMpRRbM2D
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgdSLuanTs
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcqzDgqgAP
Kiri: “I’m not?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebarRGBiF
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJaqzg8eji
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbygTZX7yJI
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTYDHVvp9N
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CvYau0Lna
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcx5Aw3iRC
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTTKIBC81e
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB4ORid7MD
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ebN0AFSI
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiv8ILFGjl
Grip tests.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Xw0cSlxJ
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRDXfAUfne
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXinVKhHiuC
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6RG3QhzI9
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWU61xba26
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjwSThQWCb
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR91WqB5r7B
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoh1dKobam
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs2okvA4VI
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHOev8nxSl
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV9Vc49GCJ
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbayBGOORs
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50zx31fmYG
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSQZtDmQkS
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDWde4w4oe
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4cY6QjxQD
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUoxBDnuM7
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2plxnnhcXZ
The top 5 were obvious.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj3AEGqD36
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfSiC8DbBT
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsZgZj6xxq
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPsnzUblWX
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzIGBTCnoR
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
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86YhtE26aa
Yep, dead last.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLrOCM40un
Jiro: “No… ”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Q6SU2lyI
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VAYvVvtfc
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrbUu2NQTg
…
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpIqzw17Ys
…
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMgtdMtMRI
HUH!!?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA6EjXtYDK
Everyone was floored by the admission.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAooUyj5zu
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4NR5KjvMj
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhvNt6L7Oy
Jiro: "Yes!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6nUAbdLFy
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy7RDQ5IuW
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSuK9xjvl3
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGrh8yZ4xr
Kiri: “Lair.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2WchrAVud
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4C03nV6PF
Aizawa: “Come again?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPq0KLalXO
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… ”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogXRgEObi8
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUhWW44POx
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFBpWsQHmd
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHeNPPX4gM
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVohksYK7Vx
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGqwcMiny
Jiro: “Ugh.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAEEN5qNlh
Momo: “Kyoka!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkklCFWBPn
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy2HIyLLEC
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSshqgOfX7H
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfQUpSAL9E
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNGTkiAAED
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCYCdltBck
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPHgKgUjbw
He turned back to Jiro.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks4NSsbbbK
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAn8Rrf9Uy
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?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKhKMzAxVT
Jiro: “I… understand.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjErB5UHNr
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pKXM0s9rO
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOhPQ8zx5N
“N-no sensei!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gHB5hYxFu
The droning from his students sounded at him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImHie9WjQD
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2haQTbKC5
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOKG1J5sV1
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YVy5ha9A0
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZYdQz88Ax
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkSiZxZuST
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhajkYlppS0
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PlQLHOLxf
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.
