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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojrjX6Sj3V
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa33RUprvdX
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy2aM8cwUN
She was holding back tears.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUYGSzzpse
Inko: "So, so proud."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96mwfYE3W2
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByh8wAa9Wv
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YX4hADzQZ
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2d9tc155C
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp2OWycKWP
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIUbyhHIw7
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHY8uC6Zij
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUm4xBzyjN
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4jYHwB1nf
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pGzhqwFKC
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMupwIBY5r2
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMDh7rzEol
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxi1Y96SLs
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebqdGw8DLP
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfBUqCXXOO
Kiri: “Big.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJll5v19ty4
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVengl6EqC
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFf2qltaBw
The class of 1-A.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPXWCKSlRi
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPBME7flsC
Kiri: “Nh!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKQrsOaOBH
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFaAu2LENd
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!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AcbNjebZR
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmf1TYxTR7
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L172u9LtC
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUSxVSbLWS
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD8DKiLQmL
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk70LRarRI
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AMV9OJOlv
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweWja480PJ
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpjdwzu4Dy
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGilBEfMd
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTAqGBF1k7
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGZ8tJd9u6
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweraRR4Wvh
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITsCD2oUw
He gave Izuku a short bow.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOVufeHcp9
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepTGT3RWHD
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgTR7espda
Kiri: “Hello.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5LN71XgPv
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazEedVWfcQ
Kiri: “Um?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGtBiHTObZ
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7xMBvG8FS
Ida: “The hero points.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8yj1vxip1
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNWvTEzzHl
Ida: “Then why-”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKTVSPy9d
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ys7H7ETUf
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwxwJkkNev
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceCkdaLVtd
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XmPFm6b8a
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQua5bMmbK
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTorE2ce4OH
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!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLVFFS1jRX
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVJF5y47Tr
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUxYdXwmkX
Momo: “Lucky.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8T1eGF0zp
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wGOQqIlY4
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ2DCbeuLN
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.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZtQXB95Po
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbE2RJm6ug
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArxaozEmGE
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpdJtEb9PG
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C41LhE5rt
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblCcIdWYOi
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaieP3rxq1
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?!’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroobqv81d2
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tkPcoVh6l
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!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1oZdg3Hx7
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9HdHFv5Sl
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ZLkEtD1H
Jiro: “What the-”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgobDYUghaB
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UzvimTfu8
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74wHzfFwF4
No.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM4v7HycXv
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEWMKlqoWF
"This is the Hero Course."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqMuoP8Tta
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ddrY5jY7
"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?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn5c8kZKql
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcI8vE7hRm
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN04qddqFH
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoamghwbbAe
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglZpYQDH5V
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77nPEnn4gs
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDB79vhDg7
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPukRFiX6zq
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH6oETOIRi
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCxplSdoW7
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFh2IfO6pk
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SD9Pq52Jz
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1dkQtStCr
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEKgaAEqRH
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAzdwJ3Rce
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYyPtTFCBD
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJupaPKJw7
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpviJhNhWzi
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiiBksDCOL
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1P8vZMdAh
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwhdV4oqAu
Bakugo: "DIE!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrvLbOsbzP
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfsHLggo0n
‘Die?'
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiqDC1Noh4
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7OSfreq40
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQQEO2SugV
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl1KBrjKHc
The class erupted into various reactions.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgaI5WRMui
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSI5cW5aJJ
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4wkhxFSfR
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVelaxvvREx
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmoXEEDWlV
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIrYd2QSTE
The pink girl yelled again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1XMpVXIzc
"This is going to be so much fun!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcS5z9KIO
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQRbO4A2DP
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pnx3FgSAy
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iFVyPim1B
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ774FdgE0Av
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kZON3c3Vq
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugP2QurPBS
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5sGRj14Rp
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp0800C7ii
Aizawa grins again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuODouP3ku
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFPBIuK683
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dgr4XVyod
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn09LUV8jl
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH5mrvb9pd
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MlIDqeRz6
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4KJQBWKLt
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufUb8tn7ZJ
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmPJjtxPDg
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTO2idumA8
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSYsvUszar
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQIJFOzfO
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44JmlkjK7y
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckDTLhVKHx
Everything should be fine.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOudowndFvz
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCrmvIXWnn
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc3Bi72u8m
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwIT4dlpuI
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5UgJGbrIq
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiYfZSEiyW
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ331XGgLmue
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mtOzJxEsr
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlglTJV4Ixq
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcF1hX1nqh
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuyuxYZfKr
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1rmDR2jf8
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZESZRVWYi8
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjLagQafDJ
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qAj9jX92e
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngwRTajaZV
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLU5abngAQ
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLumlqnnWH9
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVR4fDAUha
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc7J0kjLrc
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMPF98mk4w
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThlOIaPg7x
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlv046F5Q
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpe6RFprXW
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPemyMZmPk3
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzkYr6CC7t
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVIbXytZ4x
Needless to say, the flyer won.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dvNyQzJTb
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNV9MqFR8
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfK38h8keM
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmosKmN29go
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXx2inU6kX
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht38fZeKU4
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqjwyhybu7
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrVO2YEvh5
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEVzPbgJ6J
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL9oYg3sbB
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3arfvcRvj
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mUzTcVXnM
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU3hhUotvm
Jiro: “Crazy.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrhfesuA9s
Mina: “Amazing!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHApMsqPBkb
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk7huunyix
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwEtEe46IJ
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBN9QL8EJM
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJld801Bcn
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.

Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z1D0kp4BA
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA7mD1lfIR
Kiri: “Nh.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJsqpYVk2N
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISa2jC1jrt
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20i5lBRiF9
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq2T4kyc75
She smiled brightly at him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOtp3IuH1W
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpJjDj26WQ
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGrCU1yx1T
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIYrutCp1L
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiaoTol028
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?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ELjy1HirW
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgRaYuGGEg
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YuAAWCPFQ
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKLxmPQJad
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuEBTcOn9S
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YoTbKu62s
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgp8TLLY3Q
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hVvjsT6s
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPfiuTU2wF
Kiri: “I’m not?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCnTb06Oad
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb9tr8vu6w
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0cQEwnXLh
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDBV9hMrpu
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7X5EiOViK
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArI2vBRrUq
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo9ADS2EZD
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zM5R2GuPK
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCQqlXoHDM
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH4V0zt5QG
Grip tests.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo4T7MiYtr
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSECXVob0uZ
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ARlue7Ki
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxW3M8rVrS
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5HQ3JCAel
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAoX6dMhMe
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75lncO3VYA
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoPZ9qoUCl
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kKRI4SD7z
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fmJiWu6MW
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQgSJAcqSj
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvQw8xBqy
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4I0EVv1Lr
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hzYpGBW1M
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquYDHBZWY7
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvoxzPvv2Q
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8hebTvQNz
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJbDNeicXX
The top 5 were obvious.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkIeL8VK6Z
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwAwwdv3Mv
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx9TYbiiYO
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpCzcyWy5f
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr40qs8LJ3
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
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFSFShtwQG
Yep, dead last.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo9xwhHns2
Jiro: “No… ”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy2t5kuvcZ
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl8aqqjkHp
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAihZOfuPx
…
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCdlRthln
…
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5HbBYdHNb
HUH!!?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZUDQEAQda
Everyone was floored by the admission.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQTBVlYbZI
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL4hGOfLo4
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjadRHmLjvE
Jiro: "Yes!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHsnAJVPhz
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz7h3qFCjk
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG7hTXdDNt
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcK9YYe08b
Kiri: “Lair.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T5lM5TTGh
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOnmjp8kkm
Aizawa: “Come again?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecoU0UKDsW
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… ”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATX138zSx
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56yoa4hVh5
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT5JXW82mv
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgarcsvd7db
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjd5D49U4Y
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5llQa7NFb
Jiro: “Ugh.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7yYs9k434
Momo: “Kyoka!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQIgBRe4jM
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB9IFBn23W
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi9VaqTjkr
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMP1rgZuxF
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUAQosJiTX
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwDrmRml3Z
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMotdRy8MJ2
He turned back to Jiro.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WlrW0YDIN
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3SfVoPiYm
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?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mNQs3BZpE
Jiro: “I… understand.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYysx4Ipv
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2xKB3HbB
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VOmj4m9Vs
“N-no sensei!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0IRLVbX9w
The droning from his students sounded at him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQUdGP5n32
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."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssE1DAJj3X
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnAwrdWl3b
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0P3xBrfTy
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETUIRjb0AN
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5q8XfpmEz
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZvVV141yj
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi7OfrHddi
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.
