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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qlwWngZ9o
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwnAeVc4uZ
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cpAoBvsFH
She was holding back tears.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHO6zCOwrE
Inko: "So, so proud."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfUzMHrHXO
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBymYDMieC
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D8jo1Hsvx
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1MKdo1JBc
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfPpbkeYTX
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMTm2RJPyf
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ937gZzAZt0
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGJqa357KW
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HTYYnmv2m
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDpemgWtq
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVhL4tbYSl
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhZ3QPxyvJ
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rfwIytZeN
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Q3v3yyEi
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLxjVU3Df4
Kiri: “Big.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTlb4w6ngo
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOMMNCRuVO
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVd3WPcua5
The class of 1-A.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5hjKilkhe
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dCedJ93QH
Kiri: “Nh!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPr8Y2RqRT
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWZsso6kp9
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!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWe4UsYwYf
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyGbyPwrTQ
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbo71dyKPU
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpt24e4TWO
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOGGzSMpst
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZt51Myfhe
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLPhSFM2oP
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrujM6NXKC6
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bus24w8e4
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW1puICFAR
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXei9fZmK1V
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CP94jihSH
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Df3OBvkY0
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ29TxJZ70D
He gave Izuku a short bow.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqwveJSME
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCFnheN4Ec
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyJbsFw17l
Kiri: “Hello.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKIUrEmwkt
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzNgKkSqvM
Kiri: “Um?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOAjM48OjN
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2S1DtoQeD
Ida: “The hero points.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUaHiAQZuO
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJDvkPTCFu
Ida: “Then why-”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3g98iHPsf
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjrdIjJCWf
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW32F7RmqM
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGGqkTrhCH
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKAFGzGnfJ
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApcBi2l0lq
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYxRQGaq3
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!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSPTD8svqD
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcwWcyp6do
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ9vrh9mJT
Momo: “Lucky.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi4cC3rURJ
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTvHRw0bJZ
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z80iOCdxk
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.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR53kbO1r6
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBJk6wqsS
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtMyNj5P1R
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH1snROCkl
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGXAIdqHDm
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEUvCk8lr0
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AB8MVNl03
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?!’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiaBO81iWu
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQX4PgKUlW
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!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfCxG3A0x9
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YWCs9ODOL
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MEbUU01EL
Jiro: “What the-”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDIXyVKtOk
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDaSCAQfdN
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lThuhI5us
No.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zeRU0kBpC
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVM9T2v9kc
"This is the Hero Course."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyfwDJQKBp
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwp1Nvo1tu
"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?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5tJwuM0e4
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz4QubgfT8
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdTpZfXg6Z
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtD4tMsf6C
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzZwvOONea
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnbP9sbCy8
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjAtBBr3s4
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p9L0yRbCr
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXR7qheeeJ
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPwK30sp2T
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtlWb2omoL
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlPFZew5DS
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT1kjVEjHz
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl0PXQyJxb
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vRszL5gx4
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1OrPk9Xkj
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG4W6yJixq
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjPr4uS1iN
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnvkVtaYst
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rxh9dVF1X
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHozm3tmRN
Bakugo: "DIE!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMA2d0us7F
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BxzUWD26F
‘Die?'
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvMzvV5kfT
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAkVe64T7I
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnepKA5exa
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTjaYqN1Gv
The class erupted into various reactions.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GIXm00eHz
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMZVcUfJ22
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6F5PrGWZE
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUjPUItUa4
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKHkR8XAID
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6tLioVN9R
The pink girl yelled again.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQONDIt7AsH
"This is going to be so much fun!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka0icOgDhI
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE9TrDkv4n
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sP9cVxdCm
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylDfefr6nQ
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa94jipMFma
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtZtyz2siT
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUruHIASNIL
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxd4CCU9OC
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNmSa5kPFf
Aizawa grins again.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwx4FHs4w4
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbtndceGgF
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGtWykL8rl
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx7prc2dmq
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDTkFZDQOA
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh9zHab7Ho
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTyDUFGFH9
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqJs2DHBGi
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYhHhkdiA0
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWHz8ZeIOS
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4M78BW9yG
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXFFe6F8dw
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b3FhvfSBA
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0pFT9wQC
Everything should be fine.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIrqCrvU7V
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmpcBeQZlj
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLik92qCNB
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rgFRyRYr9
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciVNri9mCW
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R95lCSp1s
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3jxBufjvv
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBJEvCe281
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL9feBu3Oa
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY3VVDPJxR
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF1vfR4SlE
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NXLGmlbMy
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqPPAk4tIV
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F6yMxJjJP
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zl4E1lOwQ
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyDerFr3a7
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88AvPqAqBr
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4fk1gDL5V
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP1AIcpHGS
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOBp06DWIw
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdmZGdncJT
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC8RBg7OUJ
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsy4sQQE0z
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRzYr3xYi
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcMOBh5MR2
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6qdfq6bNk
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDTjpulYRK
Needless to say, the flyer won.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrFQ26yIQe
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpCCAfA2MZ
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv9NFNu6YB
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7YtbICA8
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFjBRwXqQL
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kngOxbgrt
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN34gsih7P
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4PDOMEkfb
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1am4l6Yvdo
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2gnTIYgMV
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7gQkVQOQc
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALvdb2Oslm
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN77KDLOjlH
Jiro: “Crazy.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4R05KPxA5
Mina: “Amazing!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXRTse9fxO
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDEXTvJ4Sw
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBk5fKgBSg
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRspuoIT79
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN89xk4VdGi
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.

Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQSgu0IijP
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9v66C2srG
Kiri: “Nh.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLWKSg9nma
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1yONdXhqc
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm10XWNgg9L
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY679GxDOi
She smiled brightly at him.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L8LQQ8xYu
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvk7vgCMic
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM7YK3CVmd
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaB1sZfkLa
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr9RG9iitU
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?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQLl9sVChW
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1szPBNOseq
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNqbB3IAlP
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQBsZpFoie
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuMYezp1JA
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZlDxRfos1
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZq2fcHxJ1
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j9n3pPS2x
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9OTPChYkn
Kiri: “I’m not?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qtmXajOmV
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8kPwsxH1W
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlcZUUGbSh
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyVzfSbUOT
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp1r9yhr2S
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlaZbPkxjb
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PjHupZ9BM
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUc4oToAXz
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsFtsSbJdY
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjase93C10
Grip tests.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKIzDPpdcC
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e5oriDatp
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3WLuxKSR0
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhMHXk4BnZ
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEcRJDtOs1
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYttSIbRMfP
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUdqkYQwBI
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiGA9aeNpr
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTJSYEejNS
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5QV3Ta3eD
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCVloC0spU
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVRnAygVSO
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFN9XUtMrB
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62No4gfdZ
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn2DFbL4cQ
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV2Qh5G42I
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARnW3n5t8C
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UDqnvP2Pp
The top 5 were obvious.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ZYZXtYYL
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b5jSjBEPd
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnVFWpAkBg
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecyMIacLp5
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1byc9jcFj
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
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bca6kw4pO
Yep, dead last.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2t32GEIJ6
Jiro: “No… ”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2L40jqapH
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCoOKwkNMP
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHzoRRrlDq
…
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDn6A91Nlm
…
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskgo2H9sfO
HUH!!?
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrKFgGXbty
Everyone was floored by the admission.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMHcPKiIbp
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0LlW7SI8r
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6gYQX8W2Z
Jiro: "Yes!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJXuFtBui2
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlKIsNZVkm
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZENmFB7wCA
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEPvLZQiYg
Kiri: “Lair.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lzOAObD0F
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv7XVftxQJ
Aizawa: “Come again?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LDftOFy8h
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… ”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4AFlV4iP0
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM9rPkTAqj
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzLNK4Rcf
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy6alhmQ7m
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS0Cw1GpHm
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzxvFUBza3
Jiro: “Ugh.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfXP5Uq9dB
Momo: “Kyoka!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAqO7Jzp8r
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xn7tuzZdV
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ESDwdwE7
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ymZCUANg
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡushjfAUwsz
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2ZPDc4Nxb
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTAgLyrdP
He turned back to Jiro.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSxPbHQ1Yd
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8GCBEghRl
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?
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTRDfBFhEn
Jiro: “I… understand.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCzp4KvemQ
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0sDDP0uLF
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rs0eLzSNN
“N-no sensei!”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTdzj51o1l
The droning from his students sounded at him.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsqEpHLpbp
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPtC0lxS4J
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhGV3oJ9IF
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnBTX8Raci
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzNWDEyaIQ
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo76mJRfu9B
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoYjQchf74
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAoHSqILjL
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.
