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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnGuxkuaJ4
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOaxHpe0Vj
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8XdQ30h1x
She was holding back tears.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTsVtyrjAH
Inko: "So, so proud."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWohC7MSwm5
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgu3QjUw1H
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER8BH10lOb
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvOf8iAuCU
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4eS8FIyCz
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFoyn6I2rB
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBgwDZuAbJ
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0duSyCJfM
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMsqO6MkCm
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV7WGz7rCq
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4URNmCsHHo
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qtXuRsCwk
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nBLPnCx1X
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyOwRsKg5x
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQlDKTZvru
Kiri: “Big.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduFu0p1CGx
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiLuQinOeZ
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIhuFKhhCu
The class of 1-A.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXcqAePsHJ
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOXOELAa0u
Kiri: “Nh!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc81yhjFPUj
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcC9Uo2zu
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!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGBweKrA0w
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLFoUOTtWg
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSN97CjuE5
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt5DWp3qyi
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbvtU8yv4
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyVN12UKqI
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnakg9mEmT
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9kVEKPspZ
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHz8yEcVOz
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4QvHlp68P
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCL07uOdTM
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtNghv1P7A
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGey9GVVcN
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcT5aBRjbh
He gave Izuku a short bow.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwhDgkJKSz
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXNfKUdMD
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UnIFIZFbK
Kiri: “Hello.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq2QppUHXL
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzTKbNeWGI
Kiri: “Um?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg98zmlwPIG
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJr7DQht6A
Ida: “The hero points.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2yiMSd6wu
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBakmH2V24
Ida: “Then why-”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML20yaKOk2
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR2TFpmUg0
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTR9dkZrhz
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8toPVssfS
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunQal56LqK
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4m9RrNS9Y
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch5v5SacWL
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!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5PqxO4a5j
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c7GWjKJbP
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBJV1VXUx8
Momo: “Lucky.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt4lrdmxHv
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN98lDIbxy
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W4VR2lA5R
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.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCXKySsEuV
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf0Ey41Ak4
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsruOqrKP8
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWV5CWiJWu
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ht6U83j94
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW3lYq3h0t
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KDLYoZLVD
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?!’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bXJ5TcglN
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI2U0kLEHG
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!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HGy7NUQth
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjVecQCG6
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qJm06pRWk
Jiro: “What the-”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGRjG3ykqs
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsgoYNRzOI
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlGLO458y6
No.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIJYnARuIY
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7toHLxsae
"This is the Hero Course."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PeLk8S7Sn
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyl1wRiAFw
"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?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh5itucmBN
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJg3ZQPXuO
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MxF6bynBy
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz2q5z11w4
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSpFVJTcOl
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiIrgI7ad8
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4F4URLzhh
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gUvAhfYnQ
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly2afzWU7R
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotlpy8dFxw
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHZCUI1nMZ
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzXdzF7M3i
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaoRpIgXzw
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLw8bOF2XU
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2kBjufnwA
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL35QSBibGY
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8LYNQAwUJ
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww69G7TYcD
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Q3F0fuE4
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoNmDRxYdc
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmruWLpJnu
Bakugo: "DIE!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEnDhdTxUf
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2cAilc7I5
‘Die?'
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZNPX3nRKq
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3pXg9vB7O
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVLHLHTA4q
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGnvi5IfrP
The class erupted into various reactions.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcK9gAk9Pa
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx4l3YRajm
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp6X4GVd3j
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbwwwjhwRY
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKeud8hbIb
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkNK626uby
The pink girl yelled again.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlqFA8Udw3
"This is going to be so much fun!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gu53CsB0X
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOVXUElTZJ
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMmbYQHHOA
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWUM2e0vgV
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTgvsPGQDH
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5j79pqg9
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzsc8roooh
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJMtSpUbNG
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBB4Sv6uKj
Aizawa grins again.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioziQ7oiQP
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRu0bfHNfq
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9SXOBerDy
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUlBtSLhG6
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWpagpyxJQ
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5emTKdxX7
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNBr9tNT4e
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡephp7DoY28
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSYlwRL3gi
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwgh5GERh5
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08aSWHAE8I
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKk1oT8qCv
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHmKIDNAWD
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RxZVWGNPp
Everything should be fine.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPKHrfRd1a
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9DIoj8Qhv
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2OQZ3aqBa
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvEJYW4Kvl
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQDjKg1iYO
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlTNQ8JHR8
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0OfFqfYb9
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ptCDS6Iw2
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes5m7lhyoR
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezfeN8oAx3
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoEYlt1M9v
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwONSqsGTZy
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpmVXt5IzZ
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1XRN3AJp5
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfC6JROk5
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VEQCGDR8p
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV7X24ViBP
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHsD128Yfa
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuBtEUPNyn
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI5RdEBXV7
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YecuyEUVP
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70n47fudXV
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmEjVYtWuO
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjaT5KNVJY
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9R5TGaHMs
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzd3C4UHGp
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFXMIOvPCu
Needless to say, the flyer won.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDDKzu0fu
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQwv9XHeAm
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvcBYFkWEg
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRInzHTDGa
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnwgRikQb7
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrPu4SCBlS
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kX3i1tEcz
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXlSLO6Cb2
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u5Te0ekXv
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynDbIbwoub
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2iM6GY6nx
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WjQSWwcZY
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdnodEvr6x
Jiro: “Crazy.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRaLd8ufnc
Mina: “Amazing!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7VezNfH7U
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy4MgKBGaq
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwJ74OpZmq
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxBxMWTz0g
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6chAK8Lxb
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.

Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnncBNJgjL
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0bBZzoSey
Kiri: “Nh.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaKROi7YdX
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk7mPOf14U
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Vn0SIuHL
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXe89Sm7mf
She smiled brightly at him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyoB9fXWQ9
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDRAwMhSe6
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBJtbZ2hmw
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlnXUrFXpb
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sd1EwBVIw
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?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37CDiGXnWd
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofDWmEdwN5
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyN9Tx81FX
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo98mPkTva
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g9XDIBtyz
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLK0udnDSO
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtry5JbqgHi
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeXlc7X5B2
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6szYN7FQBq
Kiri: “I’m not?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlakWQeumGK
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6w2zt8EiE
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB156clf7j1
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl6AnCyjBm
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡponcu9J6CV
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39g8W2X9Im
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡercLtgKvsx
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNMBZ1YQdY
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VDiwrc5pH
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd1VSrpvND
Grip tests.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB4LgC6y5U
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WHdVqrC3
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspUAz4F6Z1
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vjjjd334f
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSMlM9pXBO
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJTHe56vO9
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ1U9wED9Y
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLZfLJE0gB
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2l5mXSMoL
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk7s6Lys2M
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc9XUaEqKL
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYX3wz2oZL
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAkUHvL6ly
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aCEtcj5RA
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLrjCD29Al
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDoC434sGW
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC2KUw4C74
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWD81FCR2s
The top 5 were obvious.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErMU00UNpL
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonWBlIX6Jl
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpx90ZsMpc
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXkyjytq6U
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelaEzfY5Oh
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
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU2K08ONXb
Yep, dead last.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5MJygImIT
Jiro: “No… ”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bDNIYiLaq
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFOmYnk1tD
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMLLUf5VD
…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2YTroGDpz
…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUF9qqHPlm
HUH!!?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWQ7uv3lcH
Everyone was floored by the admission.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfllKXmyy28
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqKtwIpVi
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IPSNahUG5
Jiro: "Yes!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xETYl5vV6
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwmR9aTIfV
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcZ8ycbloz
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagOQAgm2Mp
Kiri: “Lair.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bepbjeMA2
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLCcy7Qq3t
Aizawa: “Come again?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwtmto1on
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… ”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyC7dXauda
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xfa725CBR
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCIvsX2kyQ
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HeHdHVyUV
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFCCrf8rYQ
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHkwkh2xl7
Jiro: “Ugh.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMtplRNlP4
Momo: “Kyoka!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67IRd9BrxW
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ecKYTXmTd
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19tY2bok7n
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDVDSDHt0m
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn06vvfoc4i
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5mpYV2VqA
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NGLlU7H7c
He turned back to Jiro.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeortWaf70E
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwpspwVYYc
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaICr6HEWUA
Jiro: “I… understand.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOesCPJtde
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy46cw60eo
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdtmwf7r3v
“N-no sensei!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3T3UbdYn7
The droning from his students sounded at him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9QYqkyaZG
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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRZc1iVaMg
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiFpfS8vt2
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKA9kTLIQD
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KeGs8d13K
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS06MvW6Om
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWItXHNvWIu
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAniIlNDL2D
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.
