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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMfeYjUfHM
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH8oGl1Z70
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7nZR6ZIPI
She was holding back tears.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Ijz4ASV4
Inko: "So, so proud."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jy0fz7EcP
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWExaU04CrC
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJwDwaF7AC
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnT1iDd8wd
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6fgRIIsrM
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklziBdosDp
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZr0NOYLiS
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLGPaB8K4t
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6hPVWYKsX
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7exjZGgma
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFsrzvCj0f
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7m7PgXECz
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjZm1NwUJG
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvWyR774n1
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvmoloJKLf
Kiri: “Big.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzGBvyx9Qw
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TTj9rxdr8
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfFGedTEeF
The class of 1-A.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEFGmVsWVg
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmYdcE4PR4
Kiri: “Nh!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmxSqKA2er
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo3mL5qjYK
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!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOybx3wgEwZ
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJWh9iy33o
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWgVU471CS
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhJlxhqmRY
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHrP3yllu
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdb3QiZvUA
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliMYsyfEr5
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qyLkxHyov
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOF9L6Uu6o
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAX35NTseJ
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKEqz6jRtm
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv0yHgmTfQ
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4vDfelA8z
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEvJgFrgik
He gave Izuku a short bow.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5aeAAO7jA
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnv7b1inFG
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0yp2flg6b
Kiri: “Hello.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1hMAhSJkD
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gi4flcIkY
Kiri: “Um?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDDHkjdem1
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRZAcWDwRo
Ida: “The hero points.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcDTF6Fd0R
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4cEtnfwhb
Ida: “Then why-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02VzKJKEel
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvQGUJiO9G
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEKpU0gldF
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5cvqJIdIX
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmGicCDQAq
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROK5fZmyis
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtOssicPW1
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!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBmefiRRKB
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIZE138Eon
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs4iPe30jA
Momo: “Lucky.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicXKzX68Uj
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW24pHhB0x
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHECU2YsM6
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.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaf31ppfgc
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjHbZi8br0
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kSrcCQPLB
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmy0xaCfND
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93mMp5qb2V
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJNhlA2nov
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVzknyVgQ
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?!’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD4TpK9C7t
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP06YfL5YL8
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!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ecdMKdCj
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zw4Thzzj1
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0vkvKftdW
Jiro: “What the-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU1GRTyHmv
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibpv0RPgk4
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulFc0naPbc
No.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIRdGO9WJ2
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmOvVpFxmu
"This is the Hero Course."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LEJNkEkwJ
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kp448AQ30
"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?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCXZ3ySmt0
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0KwAzYOfq
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUr9kSMxJD
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUdN2h24hQ
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09n0dDqafq
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ424qbwLOAt
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3o3qLz5YL
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy4pOCLVTG
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaKENtgD5t
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC11EVMkmo
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY6BgBeJ2y
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EuVjG5srr
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCEOhnsArY
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscTaueN9RK
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzDljCOMi9
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLKOeAkKaA
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlatDxAZZKH
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxul5CiuO3
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRKsGsG0fY
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNtlBEMDCk
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zEuQwA7xA
Bakugo: "DIE!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWSnSer7iQ
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gLckLCQyC
‘Die?'
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ17Nd50XjQ
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0R53SXsku
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rg4lGt3yY
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq38p2Lc5X3
The class erupted into various reactions.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyEP10YmXh
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcewEvooVo
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z4m0FZn6Y
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lHcIK3TEF
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wwcGw3Xbg
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOCLerOfz6
The pink girl yelled again.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphZed2dsBd
"This is going to be so much fun!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4T99JjFqw
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwr5BySvi2
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI5dN7xUW2
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqINmakbZni
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN5Hf9TU9N
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5KVZxqvpQ
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7kOoQwz3r
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9GSNRV0H2
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf5WTHxcgp
Aizawa grins again.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmIUezW3dp
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZqXcxwurw
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgXfGGYsmG
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtVQriXN0p
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvvvq98yIN
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdLXoklZCb
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu7nQWVYo8
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm90bn0oLh3
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6otqUZoQoE
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxXfy4OVKN
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gJOPhuOJL
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPL1XONhQJ
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbZXy4q5yz
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjkXK21uKg
Everything should be fine.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRJ2TiyFWQ
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNhQpEtE2o
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEMsCPefhy
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVFUAFiTmr
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuULSEebEFM
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeVDJKmn3W
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKNEt0GXBn
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh1GGWjXKP
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RNR9F9Jp5
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeexquqlPq
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4unYllyfP
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXK9vAL7Ms
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcuL3LtH7f
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUR7ICQnp2
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KLUckVLGW
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTjv4UNBQ9
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn4MOp2daA
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3edfBdZD8c
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8HnlCrI0p
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWqLWcdchh
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJHphPnhRu
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYdfzcEqK
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwosVsBSOaQ
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfRRS2C0sf
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIEG6y3SQ1
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlE0Em32gv
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ULcLtiwcS
Needless to say, the flyer won.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTyHyU1gQu
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nmiiRewtA
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pnlXOmGXR
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ARrLzKuyP
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QXBzNwfFG
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gRTFYRJPn
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpHl5fUbRL
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f8Orc8apb
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNiwO03Kr6
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKWenxkQd4
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS7G33o0bJ
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVs3MV6T7J
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNE18uMYuU
Jiro: “Crazy.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi62PTG1lTg
Mina: “Amazing!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDzJAR41hC
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UgW2JWkq0
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SBjn6qjk5
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybUxf9Gs7A
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SvQhlYPcE
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.

Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAACenBQWk
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwGYvO5Zml
Kiri: “Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEhj3SBEHk
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lza1GvDv6
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4VisDpO0g
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyL2GdrniG
She smiled brightly at him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ618vpzxsB
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3SjOFVlOt
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO3ZA4uXJ1
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp8qgU0uWa
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpW5Oi3n1v
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?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlsJVoQzsd
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKQpzo6EjZ
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9rHyuQks4
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBiZifk9j
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9M3FAUcSr
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNT2WSujI2
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3xBEAfsOf
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLzHHbpKU
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MnmiI1Hqu
Kiri: “I’m not?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RCI4zzpnh
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl1OagWt9z
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J2fndKXuz
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tiw9AcXbR
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQJcos8JED
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3kEBstWd5
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq01P8e3PlW
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQtSRmUyVM
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaJk8INlOU
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvUF9COtHU
Grip tests.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbBfBKKfKN
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOiU1MVIls
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncqyGaLuls
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv3zvrcOR3
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshAfcc3S2E
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVtDahICwf
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D5Ezqc6AK
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpwZGkYAwh
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CQNTWIX8h
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT2MydHje0
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGBbWTKgOV
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRB4Pwr47a
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm88vBzKQ27
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq1oWDdjzP
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSqsgiHQdW
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABG9Gwe5az
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXCHsj3p9E
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVqSrJfP55
The top 5 were obvious.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNBjKQnLqN
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOiq8oTdsX
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQheFNN2A4
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1DiKoM3jA
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23R4639NAf
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
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTt4XlKBDa
Yep, dead last.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3mcLfK6WX
Jiro: “No… ”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel0YV1TQu5
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk68eW3OXpH
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTVHQtsAc9
…
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfomdLd53YX
…
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ceCCCONN
HUH!!?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrAF7R33TQ
Everyone was floored by the admission.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6vRqQXALm
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQg4UMfSI7
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnFLEFrTtd
Jiro: "Yes!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj7iPSAEc4
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqMgHF1kio
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZycCn6j44
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTwUlBSMzU
Kiri: “Lair.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYd3ChQ348
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOmJNBl9zN
Aizawa: “Come again?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XHUfnKpRt
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… ”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbIBRl6v9p
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCjfrL8q6L
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tHmJ11R5h
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux6lhHvRjp
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8PB4rz42d
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItedN8nRMB
Jiro: “Ugh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M6tMZKtR7
Momo: “Kyoka!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCxJUd8QST
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBhvy4q22t
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrLSqkpEe9
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbjIGzhPur
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85IcUHAhHR
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1cPewatHd
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMQ2QzPub1
He turned back to Jiro.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzx9IIPxs4
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAT5kyUM3G
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?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyyydyfkY1
Jiro: “I… understand.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGybhqpo1C
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdypkhWcry
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNyKmfWA7
“N-no sensei!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwlU5lsRs7
The droning from his students sounded at him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvoOc2TmF9
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Fc7VZ3Bt
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZiALmi9Fh
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybN4aMgQDy
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OAHZRfP69
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsHXGle6tT
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvOLjr1wMc
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFSryfvpuq
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.
