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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQjxPxreSj
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghXBXeFX1v
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs8jjko5Qt
She was holding back tears.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsIexpWsb4
Inko: "So, so proud."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlSYR35rrc
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHUJbgQJuI
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEy7eWF2Pj
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ElCkiJ0BD
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLGGaWUOC7
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFzKAyFw4k
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0p8Nb1IsF
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQfyjfE1Wa
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FkThb1DRV
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7dTEEK51u
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeBW01g3FL
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuHPhaxCcC
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JMRl9VAjo
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdrWbeL0Lc
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh0MZ0CJg2
Kiri: “Big.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbWIO6MFwm
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw1I4IpEMc
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhxkvJdkYF
The class of 1-A.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP9OBOBHeK
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpnOGWCgPW
Kiri: “Nh!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRQJbJRDac
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPpzn4EDHV
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!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RUOQ3nx9w
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOPE4KL9Zb
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqmGj6GRQ2
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI9C5GWCsi
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzva5rCTs6
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOVuzBYJLG
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzejPsuimFn
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDujGDe7yDo
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG2YRC3ZpY
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz1p5Y53dF
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe3DHE0pL9
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYmWvfm2xg
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwOoBCbl0i
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDg5FQUtdl
He gave Izuku a short bow.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm3glLVDqH
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXxRRo5NW5
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYoSkjBfdQ
Kiri: “Hello.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj6IM9BtW4
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX8TkOLEYe
Kiri: “Um?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbgdSxcbRX
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q2s4MDPjo
Ida: “The hero points.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9BnZ34Jii
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMVt1Gp15r
Ida: “Then why-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoanzHaZBG
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoIytsLzsR
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FPXdmSmGE
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TJE61CIsG
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg76cV1tyLW
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8BJFV1a3
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNn09EYLdT
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!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9RGBUtS9a
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUMVMzcOAW
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6dKVX12vl
Momo: “Lucky.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoccpSvNKW
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ217VV4CZaA
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0isHQK0t5
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.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwCKpEu3qJ
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRG2N4fSE0
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKFs92zIp
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBOUe3FrA
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmePIYDZMla
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUm5JTT9zW
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Eq6MZ7p5
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?!’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hkhyl1BcY
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj30UNyLW1
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!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqZVCsqBJC
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd6CcsdS2D
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GuEhmaQn0
Jiro: “What the-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dalr2W5EX
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj8ceenSIX
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lSbU6687L
No.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhRqdLjsas
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xrk9L6UJv
"This is the Hero Course."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQBRvRZpu1
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDtwviWUWC
"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?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjJyOHVksK
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIqhrqllfn
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAZdFb1jaW
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTsugMUcQx
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoXocwN5V9
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt40FtuoriT
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUGfstp9di
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2xsDLrYFV
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzEjyzPVHr
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXlhC7eny5
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerCbnNGDAj
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VWrOgE3bo
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIq8zXog9Q
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc7tqZfhyK
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztGILRN0hu
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpOECRAW4P
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnfPvbekym
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4VW2SlcFQ
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s0ChfdoP8
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJMPKvAQec
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHa03Y9oj2
Bakugo: "DIE!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v6gtnRE6q
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NTYh5ufhx
‘Die?'
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTaYRKX2bW
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFC2DORddo
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLBCWF6iY1
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIp9kUwui1
The class erupted into various reactions.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY39U88XhQH
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlcoTHh3LZ
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlmwt53glM
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WSVgAWce9
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xcpd8uNUs
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWbRkedkgV
The pink girl yelled again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5LNYzU5JR
"This is going to be so much fun!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKawC0kaMH
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm7rKiJezJ
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkARYe944M
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnBXXED2UH
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHiG51JrcT
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvty4hFmsG
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKZNolEKSN
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDJaBq5Lu6
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI89EFcs1S
Aizawa grins again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO39zYTWmQ7
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡommZk0QmMR
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcs2kA9UVK
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd37gzjoZB
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uI5STunVJ
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ttqYeFRj
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsfDrCq0cu
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSVbcx8RNr
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1kHCAfETH
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9cg3B4sp7
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbXkCQbbFU
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ005BREJZGM
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzSNL37PPn
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKglYjX7OS1
Everything should be fine.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBYa7WFrWA
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8zXLY0MC6
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5shDJRXAZr
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxBBCpZgMB
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEsuFvdW8U
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ymROFg2l
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvSYeLfO9S
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFU1fvDup0
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdwAEMFbvM
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMHib78uhV
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS73m2xZMJY
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkOBa8hIIF
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbyTCWlDLm
Next up was Jiro and Iida. Iida pulled up his pant legs, revealing a thicker-than-normal set of calves, which quickly grew six pipes on each leg. He also rolled up his sleeves, and two larger pipes grew on his elbows.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIsbOZC7jN
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoChqwuY65
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESKjYJSXwB
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDKm02LugS
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGrWuUmDoq
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWq7qUiFKI
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmcUVHi2Zn
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyHa2nSsN
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh59kBLgv8
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMEBTvb4Tc
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKnDTL9peI
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBFJUbYXIY
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRISQfMow7P
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPt66xix0b
Needless to say, the flyer won.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeHM3ZT3Bq
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfScSjp5TDC
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSpowm1vox
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcShr8EQkyY
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgZALCkPrA
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd1k6d8hNM
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZRl9b4LX9
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiaSNvBUfq
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbBdhQqUKa
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGALxSSLJnC
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7peqh8iNR
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSn1gsCywu
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvapLjX1T6
Jiro: “Crazy.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1rXD8c4u
Mina: “Amazing!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsjFc0qvqI
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozlGGhKhFj
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmKDb90f4U
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk4avNP0MA
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0es0uwVmP
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k6NcYjwCY
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAeISdXhxL
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6LO9i1kwz
Kiri: “Nh.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77MxE1HqD9
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uDfH2OoLR
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI7aUmzqJ8
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVuwwGATj8
She smiled brightly at him.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73DiujTMJD
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlXNcgZRYy
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoYrdHpsaQ
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlSFuN5nfv
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOnpGYt4Vo
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?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GGkDaJCac
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVG3EhigZ
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgwtobHv8t
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fQhcQ7bCC
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGoLJIpUXZ
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVcuMh9Z2x
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJsCaUbMmn
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsJKlfTCut
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpvDITrT6d
Kiri: “I’m not?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrEkCP0gqH
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jVUXmzpjU
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2O2fP6yWj
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvZTVqFOIf
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tdYH4iYO5
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopiaOvThWn
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClxNDsHpwm
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uDECAEcxA
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpeoAaaMyf
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe63NGis17X
Grip tests.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb59WVTRk2m
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq3WtjF59C
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtrOgRlJnp
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Re1UEzcZ7
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05bLTW6wyd
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLRldYM4Gf
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nhcMXpLBn
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDoQHXBep0
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY5Dmv6vIb
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfgj84EFRD
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE153Nb0x1
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fI3eefgxm
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIR5NTb0gc
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF4bZoEa1Z
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9oKz88S5P
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5G7cxKpr9
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoPQuPMO3v
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cb96opuHn
The top 5 were obvious.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfPMMP2AmM
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kWMZJGzKP
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ckltymMLa
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr99li2yNde
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IQkZnDZpR
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
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHlYhkMKWJ
Yep, dead last.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlojFA0aED
Jiro: “No… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6QLfh7EZe
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLmkmwl89r
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHn4SXsv3x
…
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMdeitjfKn
…
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoafNTSMSi1
HUH!!?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCV5idOEMK
Everyone was floored by the admission.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDWjJMr7S5
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVLCbo20AP
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodgf1d61WN
Jiro: "Yes!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz7dghI60P
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDLYERm4qz
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsxUEMcKrX
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Cu4W9HFW
Kiri: “Lair.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTw4kkc8Ey
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHn9QeHZo
Aizawa: “Come again?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWa0WOYtkp
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… ”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnzlrDh6T7
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtx7aVPpBu
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7veMXKFkj
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDxtL7Guzc
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTaKzPK90y
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3SbVcB8I5
Jiro: “Ugh.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6QkzTOtDy
Momo: “Kyoka!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaNDTBDu4h
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPksHElAaz
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsIoQGvLEP
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gC2K56q7t
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRP2Fsqx0
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrAz2pQbKm
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjoR0Ib3Vd
He turned back to Jiro.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf83yWlYNMy
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPXhnBep5z
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?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcknG7L75nb
Jiro: “I… understand.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTgHERNedm
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgilWItOwty
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FYBfLLYBd
“N-no sensei!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI9SKvMsfx
The droning from his students sounded at him.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFevo5swmHg
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiFgKTLmuA
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD7pYTsEml
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIzEZ1Ak3D
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE1UnMJf16
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKvrLg4b5z
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr1rLav1Mb
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lED8YRz5S
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.
