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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7a6IwtcG
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSI3WiYVY
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOBTb2R456
She was holding back tears.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY2D6GaaN3
Inko: "So, so proud."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KfR8k1gyr
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4sBZeFSZc
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7QHbh7KqG
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIxbj2Xiht
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZVbJmLFh5
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF2nYe8YYQ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSI4HRntkH
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrOERc8pik
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanmiKGR5xq
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkK7TGNNd1
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPxnAWeMeu
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBoTdTA9pP
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJftoU8BdP
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWTE0GF6mq
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6WQ1ZTWlf
Kiri: “Big.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDmr24fNcP
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTvNZoTZ9H
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RGINlSf8P
The class of 1-A.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocFlZqq9et
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8oaO3y7BX
Kiri: “Nh!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCaCXA5Red
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKQiu5tmnl
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!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqERcfq1wm
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2LrlN6TRn
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqBedLWz13
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TsaeXIHyi
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQeKl8j8bR
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeB3jNZ1ET
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2yxbExIdU
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZcDyGVn4q
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6smMshWWu
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e117IGbbq
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1waTZ2poZ
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB5ScdznSm
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rv3SeF7Jn
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLN0pzRaYm
He gave Izuku a short bow.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH5oBODKJo
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSM0GQKufA
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8bj9nEQaf
Kiri: “Hello.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5F4Us5uum
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ3Zpp62di
Kiri: “Um?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDljucoPWk
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPEUXJjzz2
Ida: “The hero points.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokf3BT1xqO
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXaO53AkVN
Ida: “Then why-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbkwMsNqdh
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNsXM9le4q
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xGXRvD1sJ
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNlJfbQaog
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mK48NAGKx
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnGuc1GJj
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm2epfQTHA
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXQOODua2W
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQflbtoo2nd
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81E2p7xEPJ
Momo: “Lucky.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISjxMPIVEF
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvgCRSIGce
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGeXMSidqi
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX40T1kdNkz
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3CWRjgDLe
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq5GMzrtn5
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZecy0hjw4
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmXgioxIr4
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT3ooRX5K4
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVEtoPyovl
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?!’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuEgmo3SjB
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3l0GTripN
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU12gITkpY
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nrURfw8xH
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbedb5LRYtp
Jiro: “What the-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBzfEcEgt
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA1eABRJgO
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AU8owjeQ8
No.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xzncf821a
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbKZYvB5jh
"This is the Hero Course."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqL6cWRCDB
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqBoaU3q7
"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?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUY8utVSxA
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDHxGuegRl
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWKw1YPf02
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIvTT4Dr8r
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1eK9o6O0f
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qq1Lunczn
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3yNxCB03Q
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWjrXMj79j
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz6lzDUMds
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F7WDucWxF
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBuumBP5Gp
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2IdYw61Md
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6D0a0SxFQ
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHokBsFpb6
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVQtpoVzCG
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyfZlDGvMq
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDA7t6S92G
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpV8Ni7wW1
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynbq3id820
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypim778k0s
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuEOx0ZPhC
Bakugo: "DIE!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIhgKQYdzL
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuxhVx8Bjm
‘Die?'
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp0ap55PoY
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3S1fhGhJa
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO8n05zC0o
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4jPGKR42j
The class erupted into various reactions.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsYvrM7JUT
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMH5vBL8kQ
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Hw6obJJx
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCp7YFy2B1
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueAseAISfQ
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeqMnmOtQs
The pink girl yelled again.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg26flB5NA5
"This is going to be so much fun!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJKxTVBskR
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEDeALqo1K
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuWZamx1sR
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstDHbzXfBq
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuyAcQFQwe
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqorJqTgpm
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqtkvS6obf
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcB54pw3ZT
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaKqUwdVsq
Aizawa grins again.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG0vXNj8TU
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7nIfvmc8G
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdO6pMrLCO
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5YkaxKFVy
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMVDHdskw9
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMys4PKIAtL
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L9h4FHkgU
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sw1aFQ46g
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcqmUuOy6f
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLY10MqH7V
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2osO38j0t
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ085xAZFoVE
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauM7HMsn1a
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOilRkFegZL
Everything should be fine.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4SLwmtPBD
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkaHUuA6Oy
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM2TIMpOoL
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3bVoJH6a9
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4KhBc7wCb
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1OOrHYW1y
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ9ZD5vMkO
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ZbURqtJI
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRFDApdBUV
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I3F8pvJX7
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uXHhEx4xt
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswDliRxcPa
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pH1BjhFy2
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcZh0IWhHf
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAVmlW9LGP
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcS4be8bIT
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyXRJZQzN2
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkCuREnyx0
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvqtvWOtJ8
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cURKlPLTS
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnK2IiQ0zv
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefJuk1CcIh
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV25iv5Upl
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG3JaZzpoG
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB7JBIWJI2
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2tJ3x7l8
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbif5hyROFW
Needless to say, the flyer won.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz7a7kVyop
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPtLEC0wFc
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi04g5eMlr
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRVJP29cis
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1asozOLLKv
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTojKVmpAcm
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VDAApmUxp
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xljHCR2oE
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5adh9I0ChJ
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHIDokcchl
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTEyp82WOp
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OhJPeINIx
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGzd15Qbqv
Jiro: “Crazy.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvZ2zWPRpI
Mina: “Amazing!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLHvVZIBxq
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWiE1N69Z1
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLilf7qXMt
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFsGJk3T6i
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds

Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPZreE8NHC
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxbTJcEL35
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVldJA2g44n
Kiri: “Nh.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTwdQveNo2
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rwsOfEDqA
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDowTZgtcLn
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFkhk0L4n0
She smiled brightly at him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY0A81vZIU
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhXwFrBcsK
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjVa7irrrC
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WiLKMaV5k
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepkXIs2kVP
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?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUvHJXNEos
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEyPFFaSnZ
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKL7o0uNif
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8UHAq7b7f
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnqS70Nt6W
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LIswI8fmY
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZg2l1JjhX
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLm0HIIWqQ
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69R4rhYYxh
Kiri: “I’m not?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyTUK9oc6E
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLunM9jNVQ
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRrzioNCbv
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQSEPLEkDv
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmelHKzKgbS
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdeY9kwpJv
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWQ4sZsoW3
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Z2pklaOM
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbkputWgAM
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYj4qi1s60
Grip tests.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzydnYy4wsE
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b9Swe5AHX
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZRIlkAUcr
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPIB61o1yd
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJYWHbcywa
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeLfiw8OLy
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKOJYbAhca
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmFvibWSf1
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeTUvIZluP
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzjweMzeyk
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG95tNwqcL0
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DdwS5zM7O
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1vUYeuWCx
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinfEKwEiIV
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMu6c1aKkI
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yuraqptYQ
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtTxLh5nmL
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgcjixYhI
The top 5 were obvious.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZxBXyUvM
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYezo9b5dgc
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbBoNZOqIc
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApPmVxCRv3
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHIjy8pMBA
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
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWssaxIOqP
Yep, dead last.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIefYk6BRbR
Jiro: “No… ”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTDeGKR39y
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PFmFbQ9gL
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6lE0o6qIl
…
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0rK0wDO9d
…
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNPwAEVqW
HUH!!?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy4iG8LzHX
Everyone was floored by the admission.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJbMcMk9EP
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkRUNo78J7
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkQMeLXvDY
Jiro: "Yes!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4BzpxsFyb
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyzmIQxZ3f
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGisKAakXk
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKVcUmBJYN
Kiri: “Lair.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMs4uj0kjA
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbn5DuCk01
Aizawa: “Come again?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi93qRegch2
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… ”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzhwHMgrFw
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo1v8TxpU6
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpcdPNRRvr
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwMZLbfPHr
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtk4McltKM
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AC7JWKzPH
Jiro: “Ugh.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOpl6fOUje
Momo: “Kyoka!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8oS0HCiC1
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3cB3ZA6u0
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZIIuKXu1M
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Z7cZgEWM
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKSwozCjQE
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlFQWJeLRw
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHoLwU3FKo
He turned back to Jiro.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN1ULPHXam
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohx6psoR34
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?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH25w7HhtQB
Jiro: “I… understand.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp4T65yKUP
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5z1s4VZkc
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggS024B2Kp
“N-no sensei!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIMib5fIfI
The droning from his students sounded at him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt7g9qyVY8
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."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjovgafEuy
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60CaOmlxu
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuH3BmrbcB
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRwRN1yPYi
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwNXiS115M
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemwNDpMxB
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV7e7z9298
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.
