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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYg65VEGLV
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuiBdiRnt9
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O3F77PwNA
She was holding back tears.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUMKD9CMUz
Inko: "So, so proud."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRASpLZ4GC
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXuxNQuweH
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxU6wB2kXj
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvw9akosLo
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VMwQqBt8M
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW3xyDt3OH
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYbWIyLaIC
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vzo290ie9
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKeZip733a
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6OmcVT1G5
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07xAgs4DwY
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHrm2I6BmS
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS4KpiThR7
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsz5J9uca4
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMfog7hR9
Kiri: “Big.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpskvR7kno
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQVuDSjc2w
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yDPwUhw2i
The class of 1-A.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ieqRf2vK
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3KrWjGqgv
Kiri: “Nh!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitsUCgOnm8
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrCTUDWCCB
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!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSqrXwaVhR
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyifylw8I9P
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP35cm6Wse1
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KYeP8rWN
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSIzHUTcoL
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMiT02ZOwR
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91JILTBJqO
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NLJkVgKxz
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz4gGtLKrf
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTMEc7WVW
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRxWSt6p1a
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmeD5yxWfU
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtnRwPREZ
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD0xwrfyti
He gave Izuku a short bow.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjQixUdRVj
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSYTE5tjNY
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdQ6irQ1E0
Kiri: “Hello.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylpSzCdWbG
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGnEsKEB76
Kiri: “Um?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn7HrOJgwl
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDjVMHkSk5
Ida: “The hero points.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUqXFWNJOO
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQLSPqsGGO
Ida: “Then why-”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeny3vKZvn
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEbTU8oJz6
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLufpevOzg
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ01x834Sy9
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmkW2tmGut
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1je4R0JXZi
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnruDHRBVI
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!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVI0fwhxyu
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM0i8EjHlV
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFMJtsHkrb
Momo: “Lucky.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWneSf8rvX
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93lZcSdxTu
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQwmrEYigE
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.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdDoEBLvdX
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhqOZr6132
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsW94Td9Hd
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvKX4xJUWd
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJAkTGDhUd
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56i28wJdrc
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpnnArcyY8
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?!’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKij7imq1D
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GMBQ8v9Mk
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!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4ztGEY58L
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMjC2E2keV
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTAEudUIKe
Jiro: “What the-”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3eoQTcu87
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OJZHS6i14
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEXJdeOPHg
No.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NTkttykdf
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMg8CDVcbC
"This is the Hero Course."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG4zLzA0Ms
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy9jUKIu4C
"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?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKLs6zgnhs
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqXsuSKflS
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpRsHsJd4s
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNWbWUJhLy
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwgQr5yJ5K
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BfpkQNYWa
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRGRhlkCKT
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTc9pVnf5w
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBh4QkdzX4
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vWu6SOChu
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqJuZkyYcq
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgHejVFkcH
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLnSm0IbkN
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK0VDFZw8o
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHlbQRxcEm
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jvha8dREI
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCPtfxga6p
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX11Z8E7C42
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zh4kr4XZ7
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI8g301DZ4
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCABcmBqPxq
Bakugo: "DIE!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT7imyI29v
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4ELGw3qLP
‘Die?'
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSCz26vy57
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8U63oYDeD
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36GTsb8Q4o
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl0wNqpOQW
The class erupted into various reactions.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1JimRSrtD
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN5vFScpDT
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09sPHhwLCs
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAlUt2KFxc
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ivLq86ZZ
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfc1EthIq6
The pink girl yelled again.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccpR7BdB1i
"This is going to be so much fun!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGRYOdPhz3
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NpMVEVzzg
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jY3Gl7vWT
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl4ygdxxNT
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAavyjYs9YG
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXLrLl6OMZ
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xt8DVvpys
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuRJtZCgJd
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8lZ3dViAw
Aizawa grins again.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiVG5CCjhO
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhHfwBP6ug
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVFaBGY57U
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3biyvL3oK
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfauy3n4XX6
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ977e2D7g
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCxGFxXKWk
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm0gyKyjCW
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUHizt7JU6
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYUZkANiuH
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaRLwXHA2a
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEMybP6kmB
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGpc10Bd2g
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohpIuQfqPK
Everything should be fine.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjYAa7yZff
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n2kXy7HCC
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZKsVHAeE9
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB5tgM0ELC
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxIavb2VPE
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgkqNErM0l
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVghldWcBU
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcD5u8YvbQ
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVDI2JzIR4
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wGMGUi26I
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG3a5giMbx
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes5z0fBXoR
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbZO0aoKbJ
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n60ZoFDnh
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh365HzGuu
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqjNCEmJag
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQBAyrC6r7
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwVTyG9WzX
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEnUEbWfRZ
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W40oL4vzM
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1R3s9iu6K
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBflVmZ5zZ6
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhKeoo9YsH
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATWueLWWVB
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN6peEkbYz
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgVhjnm8s
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrccf06JtZ0
Needless to say, the flyer won.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qcd6TlB18
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW5mv37aFW
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KyTtVL6Zb
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpKUNvKj7M
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUOEE52beg
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvSFA87Hso
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzh1ZEqttT
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkLUOYtI1u
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY3Jqg4V16
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPeR7Gh5oX
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYJ7kyuby7
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkNeBDFMBe
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwqmGy6XNA
Jiro: “Crazy.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosNVJDiAv3
Mina: “Amazing!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4HYwYcVlF
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvt6B5BAWD
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXlZ7qHqO8
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGThUHKp4T
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV6XT0aZ7O
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPbT0tIGbI
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZkswKePgp
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i2mTMWXaf
Kiri: “Nh.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XxNBeR6BK
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NvdeKakjg
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQjLRNy8y3
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxjr2itFlR
She smiled brightly at him.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0BdI0hPjd
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswybsM663o
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLmlCKqubz
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3emNRI1Zwm
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW62W4dNqm
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?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylMHuVswuJ
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpvdIo08tT
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA6kRLxY7R
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwOFwtANwc
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLyNeBwTJC
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Kc66Zf5G
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ATuaL8uuU
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiiX4G3Z58
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhu8ZuiQNx
Kiri: “I’m not?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsC2oH4ZFj
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2qbFTfTR
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5HA1nf8Fl
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPWLAB35tM
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sp7llMTdY
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2mzfRQul
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAarBwU3JTn
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqTHQXnPYE
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJ03soB4N
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvhJcVlK02
Grip tests.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqkPr1g5DY
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAjJ37xRvc
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU6AgZqXpY
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZl8H9mavz
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49HFchTrxT
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtudgK1ljG
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYuBUf5J2Q
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMkHHC1Qy9
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6E99UenDw
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy1Ylwjg59
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmf1L6actJ
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6LldU1qts
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ufToy7GfB
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ij0QTCU5
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpMHvghC85
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZewYRLZoHa
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKb9MwbP1G
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRFWmzEi3R
The top 5 were obvious.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSUIVSlN35
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7BhO9moxd
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykjfUP3LZn
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuIk8SNXQC
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxTocwmE4r
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
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivrV5uODE
Yep, dead last.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULR7hNeWh8
Jiro: “No… ”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH5PqtWCWs
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI9h7YDZgE
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYtqQk24GI
…
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcb9pAonyF
…
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHVM30Mll
HUH!!?
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OxYL7N8wH
Everyone was floored by the admission.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxILCIKZRg
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBPq04c8XE
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHOTMxCtU
Jiro: "Yes!"
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCCQGJypu7
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSc0Pyq2aH
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RW8A4qRfK
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFAeewkNIF
Kiri: “Lair.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3N4fCQfyg
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpDcJLiy0c
Aizawa: “Come again?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s26bBSsCB
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… ”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafKSqOsYvn
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrwOHa4oqx
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhSeLKiLGo
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhEXeBMlu
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5hrX4FnO
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ekjAfLJ9
Jiro: “Ugh.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVYIae8W0M
Momo: “Kyoka!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXReF8Q72k
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCiHKVJmyM
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysD5uPK0PL
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL3hgwgXO2
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ULUCtmFgJ
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06VR2emRN8
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAouqyxxJU
He turned back to Jiro.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVTecZjjtb
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKJTpk1gqw
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?
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT86Gxs7eUV
Jiro: “I… understand.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmxdJXNCEu
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XDGkZpF1E
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOC2qkIp5a
“N-no sensei!”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2uPYvwhyO
The droning from his students sounded at him.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFLiuGUkhr
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."
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMYDg6Ijg2
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFiJUUhKD9
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vgZs9hEpt
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHCwbJvlF3
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.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYeJ9C9hQ
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QwBoNZHni
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LFEdd1F0Y
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.
