Time moved fast after that night, one that thankfully no one investigated him about. Izuku thought it would settle things, but an ache is still present in his chest. One he does not know how to heal.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8JWqOsp1g
The legions within aren’t any help since, of course, their suggestions are anything but heroic.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOVMnJ2DC8
He did try to keep his mind off of it with schoolwork, his girlfriends, and side projects. One being All Might’s health.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8tdgqdJxm
After those massages with Momo and Kiri, he now felt confident enough to try and heal All Might.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuuJ6VGLTo
It… didn’t go as well as he hoped.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBudIsHmFk
Yes, he healed a bit, and his time limit did increase. But the damage was so severe that it would take time for Izuku to fully heal him properly. Worse, he can’t heal him every day so the wound would always revert some of its progress during hero work.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u4VNMOttP
All Might reassured him, though. After all, because he passed on OFA, he will eventually have stepped down anyway. But at least this way, he can be there for his students a bit longer.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZjpfBNr8U
Well, that didn’t really help Izuku’s mood.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1dkFh2AVM
He wanted to also check on Shinso and really go deep on that aspect of his quirk. But considering the fact he also wants to bring in other possible apostles, it would be better to wait until after the final exams.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuElLv5jGrM
Speaking of, the day finally arrived. After all the study groups, training, and mental preparation, it was time for the exams.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEzn3iBl91
Class A stand side by side in their hero costumes, ready for some robot thrashing.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YWsTqVCjW
Aizawa: “Right, the test exercise will begin shortly. Obviously, you can fail this test, too. So if you want to head to the Forest Lodge, then we’d better not see any pitiful blunders from you.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxuiZN5mN
But something was wrong here.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmqGjliisk
Jiro: “Why are there so many teachers?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ED3JWaaow
Before them was a good chunk of the staff. Including Aizawa, there was Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Present Mic, Power Loader, and even the head of student discipline, Hound Dog.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eBcJJzgGi
Aizawa: “I’ve no doubt you all learned what information you could of the test beforehand. So I think you already hold a vague notion of what you are to do… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVua2wMAJIh
Denki: “Sure, just like the entrance exam. It’ll be like a musou game, only with robots!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p7q7mcJAo
Mina: “I can just see the fireworks! The curry! The dare sessions!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkwAPCPHT0
Putting water on their dreams of passing so easily, Nezu popped out of Aizawa’s neck scar and proclaimed-
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL0BrkC4j7
Nezu: “Sorry, I’m afraid not!! Due to various reasons. We’re changing the contents of the test, starting today!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGULRDgRW
Frozen still by the sudden turn of fortune, Mina and Denki’s smiles slowly faded away.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIZKFGB9do
Momo: “So what will the test be?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteFSlAUzFn
Nezu: “I’m glad you asked. From now on, we’ll focus our test more on person-on-person battles. Emphasizing a teaching environment closer to that of real battle. Something you all will have to face, sadly, maybe sooner than we’d hope.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAi9Z5aqpe
The class sobered up at that. Even if it is likely, no one wants a repeat of the Hosu incident.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMY8jrdNju
Nezu: “So with that in mind, you all will be split into groups of three and face off against us here educators!!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJZRWScGeF
Uraraka: “With… with our teachers… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwc817suwA
Nezu: “Now, who all of you are paired with and which teacher you’ll be fighting have already been decided. The way you tend to move, your grades, and your degree of familiarity. We personally judged how you’ll be pairing up based on all sorts of things, and we’ll list the matchups now.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNDYtTxX1z
Jiro: “Wait a minute. If that’s the case, there are too many teachers for a 3-on-1.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesfO7Y2PLu
Nezu: “Who said anything about a 3-on-1?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy27bLoLPAq
Denki: “No way! You want us to-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvxYP2fhuP
Nezu: “Yep! Most of you will be fighting two teachers. Only fair since there will be three of you. For example, the first round will be Kirishima, Ashido, and Sero will be facing me and Cementoss.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YJ3voLQQR
Sero: “We’re fighting the principal?!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uMbXNJRdU
Mina: “Aw, man!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KM38BVjTZ
She says while rubbing her head with both of her hands in frustration.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvfaamPJ7o
Kiri: “Good luck, Rocky.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRenskoEtsl
Kirishima: “I think I’ll need more than that. But thanks, Tae.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYzquF0Fhx
Momo: “Hold on, you said most of us. What did you mean by that?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxApBceD8pL
Nezu: “Yes, the best part. The last two teams here are a bit special. The first of which will be Tae, Yaoyorozu, and Todoroki.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGVGdGTSjl
The three glance at each other before nodding. They all fought together before. They can do this.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N8HqupSl7
Mina: “Wow, talk about a powerful team.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DJqN21KTv
Nezu: “Indeed, I would dare say they are the strongest team assembled. And that is why they’ll be facing four opponents.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c5AXHAPxU
…
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqVCMQT37t
…
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHznmMzN7x
Everyone: “HUH!!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFjZvWNYyw
Momo: “I should've expected as much. Nothing is ever easy.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AVvJnBkaj
Kiri: “We’re in trouble.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEpjUlp1PQ
Izuku: “Good luck, you two.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJOlbIFHDd
Todoroki: “Who are we fighting?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG29XD8cHo
Aizawa: “You’re against me.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKY6W8ZlWc
He says while giving a not-so-friendly smile.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN3GqZKkbo
Nezu: “In addition, Aizawa has three helpers who made time in their busy schedules to come and help test their underclassmen. These three third-years rank among the top of all U.A students, so they qualify for this.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkdwx4XQun
Coming out of one of the buses that will bring the class to the testing sites, as if waiting for their time to shine, were two boys and one beautiful girl.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYGX31JHpQ
Nezu: “They’re known as the Big Three.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpSDIZih7o
The walked forward to stand alongside the other teachers, their presence immediately changing the atmosphere of the setting. Especially for those that will soon face them.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xFC7jvLpW
Mina: “Big three!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKMncysWof
Jiro: “So these guys are… I had heard there were people like them, but…”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PQXn6RgVi
Izuku: ‘Are you serious?’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3R9hbsBIi
He recognized one, the middle guy with the bright smile. He remembered watching him at the sports festival last year, but the results were… strange, to say the least.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0LwRT7mUW
But right now, the girl is the one who got his attention. And of course it’s for stranger reasons.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxvSijSMoy
The Seventh: “M9$&%<.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk4JtDiBB6
Izuku: ‘Her? I just met her?! I can’t just ask such a question.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIFkQJb9rA
To meet another apostle candidate now of all times is crazy. And it seems The Seventh is quite eager to claim her.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaikDPbFcr
Izuku: ‘M-M-Maybe after the exam. Have patience.’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42jk7O5QvU
They creature settles and holds the prince to his word. With that done, Izuku refocuses on the conversation and introductions. Right on time to see Amajiki, the black-haired intense one, glare at the entire class.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14QhiqDyAr
Several students tensed at the impact of the glare, enough to make their hands stand on end. But Izuku wasn’t worried; the reason became clear eventually.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwXE3lp2vH
Amajiki: “It’s no good… Mirio… Hadou. No matter how hard I try to think of all of them as potatoes… everything except their heads just has human form. And besides their heads, I can only see them as humans! What should I do… the words… they won’t come out! My mind’s completely black… it’s so painful! I wanna go home… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZedBx00vVe
Everyone: “HUUH?!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzOhnT5gRp
Sero: “This guy… is one of the top students in U.A?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j1TxHLhi5
Kiri: “Don’t underestimate him.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReYJ7hW4tN
Kirishima: “Yeah, he probably has some crazy quirk or something.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyydTG4pCF
Nejire: “Yep, his quirk is awesome. But back to introductions. This guy is Tamaki Amajiki, the chickenhearted. Even though he’s a human, weird right?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jIYnOXSmo
Sero: “I… guess?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vyrl2iKrL
Nejire: “The smiling guy and energetic guy are over here, Mirio Togata.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw7xk54GCR
Mirio: “Hello everyone! I have only one thing to say to all of you. The journey ahead-?!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS78fwF9e7
Everyone: ‘Journey ahead…?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0Y1fUAKl
Miro: “That’s where you say ‘will be full of difficulties’!” Alright! You all utterly fail at getting the point of the conversation!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlwrZMYvX9
Everyone: ‘Right…’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76NdDTWM5k
Sero: “At least one of them seems normal… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKVeR9Y87P
Tokoyami: “That is yet to be seen.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyGFXdqcby
Nejire: “Back to me, I’m Nejire Hadou! We’ve come here today to test out our underclassmates. Speaking of-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzPbDFT7RJ
Faster than expected, Nejire appears in front of Todoroki with a smile still wide as ever.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe6TM0InOz
Nejire: “You’re Todoroki, right!? Why do you have that burn on your face!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk1fLZVuoQ
Everyone: ‘Seriously!?’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctKPsusJtg
Todoroki: “… Well, that’s-”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafSTimh5IF
Not even waiting for an answer, she moves onto her next interest.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwxJCMfUYc
Nejire: “And you, Ashido, if those horns break, do they grow back? Can you move ‘em?! Asui, are you a tree fog? You’re not a toad, right? Shoji, why are you wearing a mask? Catch a cold? Or is that the latest fashion? Or is it a part of your quirk? No matter who I look at, all of you have things that pique my interest! How strange!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHpFSVNUB
She says while going from one student to another like some hyperactive bunny.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyFngxW5v8
Denki: “Oh, a natural airhead! How cute!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2xGUOXbIe
Mina: “She’s kind of like Midoriya when he gets all mumbley.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3THr12Lsj
Nejire: “Right! Midoriya! Your family’s quirk is the most interesting. The way it changes and evolves is different from other psychic quirks. I’ve seen your matches; you’re so awesome! When you change things, do you have to actually see the atoms, or do you just sense them? How do they feel? I have so many questions!”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zUVPOs0EO
Izuku: “I-I… um… i-it’s… y-you’re… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwKP0GuJVd
Izuku: ‘Too close!’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHFWoF1iP
It was then that Izuku felt the sharp gazes of two females on his neck. Lord, someone save this man.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWejFqtvdv
Aizawa: “I see you’re all still lacking any sort of rationality.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiClAuDC7Fy
Nejire: “Haha, sorry.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mK1AvMuaE
She says after returning back to the teachers, giving Izuku some needed breathing room. Seeing the chaos die down, Momo coughs into her hand before asking the important question.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfiiUMoMz0
Momo: “Despite their… eccentricities, I’m sure they are powerful. Adding them alongside Aizawa seems unfair. It is a three vs four, after all.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ymEuxO4G
Mina: “Right! It’s like you want them to fail or something.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qJZfs9Nu
Nezu: “You might not think you have a chance now, but we picked you three because the combination of your quirks can be quite extraordinary. That is if you figure out how to properly work as a team.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzhcfnkkpD
Momo: “I see. No pressure… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXoAXUMzT6
Kiri: “We can do it.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEGbJlJXsx
Todoroki only nods, but that alongside Kiri’s confidence allows Momo to shear some of the anxiety building up.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kPLyFUpMk
Jiro: “Still feels like they were dealt the worst hand.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbSpQIn0nU
Kirishima: “Yeah, I’m not feeling that bad about my chances anymore.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAWI9YtTw3
Nezu: “Don’t feel too bad for them. The last team has it arguably worse. The last match will involve Midoriya, Bakugo, and Uraraka.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2esrFoPpfu
The three twist their heads to each other, tensions rising to meet the enormity of their unresolved issues. But what are the chances?
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe11ksfVKhF
Izuku: ‘How? Why? I can guess why me and Ka… Bakugo were picked. We made too much noise that night. They may want us to rebuild our bond through a trial. But Uraraka? Did they know about what happened between her and Bakugo? Do they spy on us? Or did they just notice the tension… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WS5T9wO9O
Nezu: “And their opponent will be…”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV7Jk47xmW
From behind the three appeared the hulking figure of-
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlrrUszrm6
All Might: “I’m here to oblige! Now cooperate and come at me to win, you three.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFLx21Weha
Uraraka: “W-W-We’re fighting, All Might!?”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4KVlEocDh
Jiro: “Yep, that’s the worst hand here.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8kpLIAPCM
Bakugo: “Tch… ”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwhCasawpO
Izuku: ‘Really taking advantage of my healing, aren’t you, All Might?’
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tRJOrjE7A
Aizawa: “The teams will go one after the other, but they will go to their testing zones separately. There will be viewing monitors so you can see how the current match is proceeding. The general outline of the test will be explained by each of the teachers you’ll be battling. You’re to be transported by the campus buses. Time is precious, so get in them promptly.”
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ7CrErsNM
And so it was; the rest of the groups were set and properly ordered.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fhoLWecSP
