Time moved fast after that night, one that thankfully no one investigated him about. Izuku thought it would settle things, but an ache is still present in his chest. One he does not know how to heal.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCXsQhRVsl
The legions within aren’t any help since, of course, their suggestions are anything but heroic.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjPfezoBMl
He did try to keep his mind off of it with schoolwork, his girlfriends, and side projects. One being All Might’s health.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOCbwiZh8j
After those massages with Momo and Kiri, he now felt confident enough to try and heal All Might.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6W1fRupdd
It… didn’t go as well as he hoped.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw3efXDJSC
Yes, he healed a bit, and his time limit did increase. But the damage was so severe that it would take time for Izuku to fully heal him properly. Worse, he can’t heal him every day so the wound would always revert some of its progress during hero work.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTIZY5HTNz
All Might reassured him, though. After all, because he passed on OFA, he will eventually have stepped down anyway. But at least this way, he can be there for his students a bit longer.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQqQfuqNpD
Well, that didn’t really help Izuku’s mood.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2GW1Ncnb7
He wanted to also check on Shinso and really go deep on that aspect of his quirk. But considering the fact he also wants to bring in other possible apostles, it would be better to wait until after the final exams.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVH2rkN79K
Speaking of, the day finally arrived. After all the study groups, training, and mental preparation, it was time for the exams.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUZ6nOg4mS
Class A stand side by side in their hero costumes, ready for some robot thrashing.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOKQrGobNM
Aizawa: “Right, the test exercise will begin shortly. Obviously, you can fail this test, too. So if you want to head to the Forest Lodge, then we’d better not see any pitiful blunders from you.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG9VvBhWNx
But something was wrong here.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToyLIMZ1g2
Jiro: “Why are there so many teachers?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAdd2CJJTQ
Before them was a good chunk of the staff. Including Aizawa, there was Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Present Mic, Power Loader, and even the head of student discipline, Hound Dog.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2m9ZK2jwA
Aizawa: “I’ve no doubt you all learned what information you could of the test beforehand. So I think you already hold a vague notion of what you are to do… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3146yTm6i
Denki: “Sure, just like the entrance exam. It’ll be like a musou game, only with robots!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eG6dhhW9m
Mina: “I can just see the fireworks! The curry! The dare sessions!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8PjrEOeZw
Putting water on their dreams of passing so easily, Nezu popped out of Aizawa’s neck scar and proclaimed-
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9cdjIq7bW
Nezu: “Sorry, I’m afraid not!! Due to various reasons. We’re changing the contents of the test, starting today!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeX8F1bFOg
Frozen still by the sudden turn of fortune, Mina and Denki’s smiles slowly faded away.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4eujkBjq1
Momo: “So what will the test be?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrQGHrpJVZ
Nezu: “I’m glad you asked. From now on, we’ll focus our test more on person-on-person battles. Emphasizing a teaching environment closer to that of real battle. Something you all will have to face, sadly, maybe sooner than we’d hope.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgQhXN09SU
The class sobered up at that. Even if it is likely, no one wants a repeat of the Hosu incident.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu1FdmRQww
Nezu: “So with that in mind, you all will be split into groups of three and face off against us here educators!!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJie5NuNZES
Uraraka: “With… with our teachers… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CRPUmsTHa
Nezu: “Now, who all of you are paired with and which teacher you’ll be fighting have already been decided. The way you tend to move, your grades, and your degree of familiarity. We personally judged how you’ll be pairing up based on all sorts of things, and we’ll list the matchups now.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwpWu6zzg4
Jiro: “Wait a minute. If that’s the case, there are too many teachers for a 3-on-1.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcDhKlbqQT
Nezu: “Who said anything about a 3-on-1?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVKhBQcMNe
Denki: “No way! You want us to-”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOxfADXBGN
Nezu: “Yep! Most of you will be fighting two teachers. Only fair since there will be three of you. For example, the first round will be Kirishima, Ashido, and Sero will be facing me and Cementoss.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvDpFl1OOe
Sero: “We’re fighting the principal?!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbSJucUvn
Mina: “Aw, man!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sqreSD8UP
She says while rubbing her head with both of her hands in frustration.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MChYx4OrF
Kiri: “Good luck, Rocky.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbDE9bCTc6
Kirishima: “I think I’ll need more than that. But thanks, Tae.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7h8cIPahq
Momo: “Hold on, you said most of us. What did you mean by that?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L3EDmXHOa
Nezu: “Yes, the best part. The last two teams here are a bit special. The first of which will be Tae, Yaoyorozu, and Todoroki.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T1wyY2I8D
The three glance at each other before nodding. They all fought together before. They can do this.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NvAHhONEx
Mina: “Wow, talk about a powerful team.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KzScHPhgW
Nezu: “Indeed, I would dare say they are the strongest team assembled. And that is why they’ll be facing four opponents.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnX66hnVEL
…
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3uk6hZMiu
…
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsphqOcrbJ
Everyone: “HUH!!?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy2hjkxi4b
Momo: “I should've expected as much. Nothing is ever easy.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlalklhDnM0
Kiri: “We’re in trouble.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoceFmQCLDn
Izuku: “Good luck, you two.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWX97G47hl
Todoroki: “Who are we fighting?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvK4ZgshM
Aizawa: “You’re against me.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpwlhTSDde
He says while giving a not-so-friendly smile.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIMQIruUB7
Nezu: “In addition, Aizawa has three helpers who made time in their busy schedules to come and help test their underclassmen. These three third-years rank among the top of all U.A students, so they qualify for this.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqSeMps7re
Coming out of one of the buses that will bring the class to the testing sites, as if waiting for their time to shine, were two boys and one beautiful girl.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwiTrrK3rR
Nezu: “They’re known as the Big Three.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XiI8fpTZF
The walked forward to stand alongside the other teachers, their presence immediately changing the atmosphere of the setting. Especially for those that will soon face them.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTmDRcQMzD
Mina: “Big three!?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQllUyhbBcN
Jiro: “So these guys are… I had heard there were people like them, but…”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjoelIMbRq
Izuku: ‘Are you serious?’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34dvUne9wG
He recognized one, the middle guy with the bright smile. He remembered watching him at the sports festival last year, but the results were… strange, to say the least.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyjncVwLiq
But right now, the girl is the one who got his attention. And of course it’s for stranger reasons.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf57543zZIc
The Seventh: “M9$&%<.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF3DxobFco
Izuku: ‘Her? I just met her?! I can’t just ask such a question.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3EuU9Jzdc
To meet another apostle candidate now of all times is crazy. And it seems The Seventh is quite eager to claim her.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhmfuXZJ1W
Izuku: ‘M-M-Maybe after the exam. Have patience.’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK6DIuaLVT
They creature settles and holds the prince to his word. With that done, Izuku refocuses on the conversation and introductions. Right on time to see Amajiki, the black-haired intense one, glare at the entire class.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicJs0iZ5iz
Several students tensed at the impact of the glare, enough to make their hands stand on end. But Izuku wasn’t worried; the reason became clear eventually.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShntu29r5o
Amajiki: “It’s no good… Mirio… Hadou. No matter how hard I try to think of all of them as potatoes… everything except their heads just has human form. And besides their heads, I can only see them as humans! What should I do… the words… they won’t come out! My mind’s completely black… it’s so painful! I wanna go home… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlENsU2slz5
Everyone: “HUUH?!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vxgKDnheh
Sero: “This guy… is one of the top students in U.A?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKigH7JJte
Kiri: “Don’t underestimate him.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKZLFgMYOc
Kirishima: “Yeah, he probably has some crazy quirk or something.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqyLGbznlk
Nejire: “Yep, his quirk is awesome. But back to introductions. This guy is Tamaki Amajiki, the chickenhearted. Even though he’s a human, weird right?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3dkt9HojO
Sero: “I… guess?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH48OYO7eNO
Nejire: “The smiling guy and energetic guy are over here, Mirio Togata.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRqAVR1Amz
Mirio: “Hello everyone! I have only one thing to say to all of you. The journey ahead-?!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2v0VoyRXz
Everyone: ‘Journey ahead…?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJMgW03Su2
Miro: “That’s where you say ‘will be full of difficulties’!” Alright! You all utterly fail at getting the point of the conversation!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ238jsmOIo2
Everyone: ‘Right…’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ySQcnyM4r
Sero: “At least one of them seems normal… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPpzpKXF1H
Tokoyami: “That is yet to be seen.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXAbOWTUl8
Nejire: “Back to me, I’m Nejire Hadou! We’ve come here today to test out our underclassmates. Speaking of-”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKITKrhXNM
Faster than expected, Nejire appears in front of Todoroki with a smile still wide as ever.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY80Sb9rrV8
Nejire: “You’re Todoroki, right!? Why do you have that burn on your face!?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64XcFDEr3Y
Everyone: ‘Seriously!?’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pZOVrh74X
Todoroki: “… Well, that’s-”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vboXaMAqb
Not even waiting for an answer, she moves onto her next interest.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznVVbDLXXy
Nejire: “And you, Ashido, if those horns break, do they grow back? Can you move ‘em?! Asui, are you a tree fog? You’re not a toad, right? Shoji, why are you wearing a mask? Catch a cold? Or is that the latest fashion? Or is it a part of your quirk? No matter who I look at, all of you have things that pique my interest! How strange!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5qggomQO5
She says while going from one student to another like some hyperactive bunny.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeOdQB6a0M
Denki: “Oh, a natural airhead! How cute!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd1JZdmP7x
Mina: “She’s kind of like Midoriya when he gets all mumbley.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsXF3lsBT8
Nejire: “Right! Midoriya! Your family’s quirk is the most interesting. The way it changes and evolves is different from other psychic quirks. I’ve seen your matches; you’re so awesome! When you change things, do you have to actually see the atoms, or do you just sense them? How do they feel? I have so many questions!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDvkJnwrRb
Izuku: “I-I… um… i-it’s… y-you’re… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34aYeVWDje
Izuku: ‘Too close!’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQHca6pLPK
It was then that Izuku felt the sharp gazes of two females on his neck. Lord, someone save this man.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8pyh4EDWi
Aizawa: “I see you’re all still lacking any sort of rationality.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOk0QRAYrp
Nejire: “Haha, sorry.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdezu1eAF5y
She says after returning back to the teachers, giving Izuku some needed breathing room. Seeing the chaos die down, Momo coughs into her hand before asking the important question.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjY9kALgyu
Momo: “Despite their… eccentricities, I’m sure they are powerful. Adding them alongside Aizawa seems unfair. It is a three vs four, after all.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKIQDwcdwa
Mina: “Right! It’s like you want them to fail or something.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lVgIl3U99
Nezu: “You might not think you have a chance now, but we picked you three because the combination of your quirks can be quite extraordinary. That is if you figure out how to properly work as a team.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJtqkRJOku
Momo: “I see. No pressure… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTPMuXqRqB
Kiri: “We can do it.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZVGgv1CFR
Todoroki only nods, but that alongside Kiri’s confidence allows Momo to shear some of the anxiety building up.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13ndpVuC8v
Jiro: “Still feels like they were dealt the worst hand.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXAtJfBEd0
Kirishima: “Yeah, I’m not feeling that bad about my chances anymore.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp0ubwCogC
Nezu: “Don’t feel too bad for them. The last team has it arguably worse. The last match will involve Midoriya, Bakugo, and Uraraka.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdK0TqPGSy
The three twist their heads to each other, tensions rising to meet the enormity of their unresolved issues. But what are the chances?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt1HMg5EFd
Izuku: ‘How? Why? I can guess why me and Ka… Bakugo were picked. We made too much noise that night. They may want us to rebuild our bond through a trial. But Uraraka? Did they know about what happened between her and Bakugo? Do they spy on us? Or did they just notice the tension… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyiQddA6r9
Nezu: “And their opponent will be…”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj15oBOoP2
From behind the three appeared the hulking figure of-
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGeWlxhPMw
All Might: “I’m here to oblige! Now cooperate and come at me to win, you three.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt1aeBJQDC
Uraraka: “W-W-We’re fighting, All Might!?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvzDpn1Byc
Jiro: “Yep, that’s the worst hand here.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jrQ0ulvlM
Bakugo: “Tch… ”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz3vd6TYbj
Izuku: ‘Really taking advantage of my healing, aren’t you, All Might?’
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pToy3EssD
Aizawa: “The teams will go one after the other, but they will go to their testing zones separately. There will be viewing monitors so you can see how the current match is proceeding. The general outline of the test will be explained by each of the teachers you’ll be battling. You’re to be transported by the campus buses. Time is precious, so get in them promptly.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZvb0tiNuE
And so it was; the rest of the groups were set and properly ordered.
