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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMIVlpZsJ0
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xrZb1bi89
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWOqTSUNeH
She was holding back tears.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAPrnCkMH9
Inko: "So, so proud."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pgsS9vYAC
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0By4sXK19
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiAHV86ZXL
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDynooJL9K
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eRDFWRIkY
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qyW3iy6Y9
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxwSdpIFTH
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqpnGwlxAi
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD7Iu9o6T2
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA86e3GKKfV
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2uxTVqgQk
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCrRK3ZLxR
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHPGy9ik4S
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPgC2wdlSN
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT5Ttn6ho7
Kiri: “Big.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob563F7SmS
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw7wwEh6AZ
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXJbTFoWY
The class of 1-A.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEwJ7LdOHO
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09HHSPN7En
Kiri: “Nh!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJbRVfp8JC
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6pddJfXFY
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!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapLHtQTaP
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBf89ECKMF
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwWrFzrcKT
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRSFGcE7zg
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94dXWGoB7y
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmw50YXrpZ
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmOa0fw5n2
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTQxMgYoXe
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWbyv3KPJw
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W6lCmdtyB
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEev750d89x
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr9Mtv9TDy
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUPNIkjsTd
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRItmNWqgH3
He gave Izuku a short bow.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2tWq3iajd
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkj9Y3jCcj
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkDa8rCOTQ
Kiri: “Hello.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy6ZQoW67I
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErfR5NiPMW
Kiri: “Um?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFbQ8gZe8c
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUdYuG9pNi
Ida: “The hero points.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhvtJsTQQ8
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAvi0vxF3o
Ida: “Then why-”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPKuHPkLX
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGM6e7kTM2
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMYOTDuswC
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwaejxi5Zi
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmt87tvfyi
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx2Qc1eFfk
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm042oFj9d
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!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHSOsHBrRk
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tIKT3mWXs
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBJM2uk1B1
Momo: “Lucky.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4kJ3nCDYP
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlaY3sDq6u
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6q0Opi7lb
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.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9OugLZcAt
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5B16kxZpx
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgDinx6ejx
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6hAWfdcg7
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFq4H4FBCf
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ278H1cpALb
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mEWBJ3Jaq
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?!’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3JlC4Rgih
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlkgbvAMcf
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!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrvSoFftDF
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwoW30UDLX
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJodwMdwyl
Jiro: “What the-”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTmJlocQRg
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq5pXKbuIg
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0GPRmhQF3
No.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimAdtNuZwg
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmTOotbNgR
"This is the Hero Course."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsThGNLipdB
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFJPcIHZfY
"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?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYfkGi057X
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvFBMdBxpO
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxVcA7Krrr
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUsCODYStb
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkcsF3gO5T
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh6lJngm60
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cpu8hiOTd
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfxf3qy2WP
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJwSczAP5D
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NxmYwv3jN
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOG523IRx8
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mp75vXcr
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOEbTcFIIb
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qr0CExMUL
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEvtpix1Tn
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tFTgQPZUq
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDd8rQoneE
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7PFcYHmTh
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLIIvysgOj
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6We0yF1VW
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljX2Nr8W8a
Bakugo: "DIE!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp489YLrIna
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerzS5BuLr4
‘Die?'
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfGN83Ob2C
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetNifOBDoU
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgS12tvYl4
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jl9iBkuKk
The class erupted into various reactions.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8OZ2F2pmF
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu5sErYA4g
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9gP1ukSu5
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtXqn0fcKg
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNtUUe2dq
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMIxsS175V
The pink girl yelled again.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvVCy0c0nT
"This is going to be so much fun!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0nuCiK5kD
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9GZg2085r
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRqa1zSs3y
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWgxxASsBJ
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCwSL81V53
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmupGFWGrH
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s8gUOzRA1
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP5EhYKRRD
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6yRi7y5ip
Aizawa grins again.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4OJO74GXS
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuDLQUsPq1
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW6nls7AOy
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaGE6K7x1a
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eY5lsEN3Z
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqSyKPC3nn
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUbpD5ffgH
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl1KGPMmTD
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PU3doow3I
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUdbXUSVQ0
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUKSckPQIh
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49iJAQ4Eq6
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcdEVTQJt3
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj7lwuYpqT
Everything should be fine.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg5wI9XSCQ
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNBhDQOQZy
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ah78gWX3p
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZZLbuq6S5
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvhc30q6SK
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgXIhib9HZ
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfAmk9G4CY
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOVy3aMzwY
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIrfrX7DYO
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueXSRFhIaR
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbXjjMdi5G
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7LoZaOJPW
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDQvS6EUJ5
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9iZc6flDg
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhtnWP37iU
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDPlK5aYWE
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNgHWDoXEW
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YJAOsJi2Q
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzgsathk3z
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpATQ22BhSx
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB3DJlfeCp
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdiYj21Shs
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSqikie4RP
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfmyuoEYrC
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3erhEneq2
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jEVsv5Q3j
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgyHpT945U
Needless to say, the flyer won.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oLVCxfhsC
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoMWXxcJ7K
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe6SfXlgYX
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXYbyEJwxN
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1us5qpHmfh
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlGDFAPw6c
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXUhyS0RFu
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysATcXHCiH
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42mnWUEsXB
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIu5pZlqW
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3oCRhaFOT
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EWQzXW3ft
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39B5dAMsNS
Jiro: “Crazy.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKAfMXNRXp
Mina: “Amazing!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdIE5lEDbT
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz4Ken3ZxQ
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGry84ZTN9
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DndICbFff
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds

Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDEFBk8ae
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7T1MZ81Hf
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN8Bh8youp
Kiri: “Nh.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JewPOw54s
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxdt8VKDZo
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPijerofkN
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd9qutDe9P
She smiled brightly at him.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzCK4qYgYy
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVZRHaX07N
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0IphhVmiH
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XQMH4GmAC
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM8C9pLPFk
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?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdPMRuds2A
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUR1Fm7a9c
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTFvawNljm
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGYR8knAWf
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi28CVUFRz
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoQwHnDs4c
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5NZgmXDZT
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU6b2bLwgt
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTg7arZwRg
Kiri: “I’m not?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QmRGGDqiR
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKBZqmmE1E
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0ABBPMphh
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOVBuvOdgF
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LE4jKNzKf
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2KFMoTkOC
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjXSPqsBrM
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIUAcNUAKR
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJYtMuGSrB
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0bkDt2Qsv
Grip tests.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccF9DWxme4
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrgbQZvfr8
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfdIJjVLv6
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83evfhFtMS
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDywAD2nR9B
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdo5vLi6lK
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h7eVoate9
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrE4gYhdIR
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXww6bnAp
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg0Ed560rm
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy0vf7e1TX
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhzFDSO5Ik
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHK4m1YQZc
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd2sM673RN
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07EFSjLyUo
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf5EvzLaKN
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE7plT7drG
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92owHhcvxm
The top 5 were obvious.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUQcOt7U5L
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMacTgXCPro
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzLAMfCqyD
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpir4VrYbPe
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87HvIjDnlC
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
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJLIsvgJ9B
Yep, dead last.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H67sEFaop
Jiro: “No… ”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtY73bxqIc
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuAHOSicpM
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKnkqyR5Cq
…
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡembAe5PPX1
…
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR3csnr1g7
HUH!!?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUGaubPdSY
Everyone was floored by the admission.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK6f7BMkFB
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUBJ3YWhh7
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULFu3fzJcb
Jiro: "Yes!"
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQrtzdFxmD
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTPjid5SbD
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t0LSmQ07z
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDkh4XKHk
Kiri: “Lair.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsckMK2VS0
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoztQjLpAO
Aizawa: “Come again?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7eRVPt9AB
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… ”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOLUnj23as
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5d7rXz54g
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJRThi9Ah6
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjFnFKmmMr
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDXXrtDwsV
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3t0pA0Vvb
Jiro: “Ugh.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOELsMWP8jp
Momo: “Kyoka!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlgR8LK75U
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtDyDO5Dpk
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifC9H0EMap
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyOm34C65e
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm9l0bqVKL
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVyIL8OBNC
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaTZMvVHos
He turned back to Jiro.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDshflzJGLd
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKyh9xB38T
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?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoutKNilXL
Jiro: “I… understand.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu5gPoQoMG
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtN1BVdEgI
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXLI76oapS
“N-no sensei!”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwmBl1dHeS
The droning from his students sounded at him.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nMushnSSp
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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOSLTR3Svn
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwrja0qMnP
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfkU9CVrMr
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3LLnfdUzH
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrS2m1JUV0
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZLuG3jXWg
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa0zqy2O68
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.
