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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQuTDHuSgr
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1DPz5LbtL
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYQ3iEKGRg
She was holding back tears.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86tmGurvEP
Inko: "So, so proud."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxiuVcZbbS
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmGNdj8cAn
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRJIZrDd6
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuassawvXcx
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGWyEhbd2S
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5yAhCnwh4
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc9apq2QPe
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9dedGhMif
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF4JlZA2Vq
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgyvbm7SD
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV1owlTgZe
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TW6LeuTgp
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBEBfgX9NL
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekGauRQSTG
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YLgQoiGPV
Kiri: “Big.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlmTA02ZeO
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhCgg5Tauf
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNJH2Hy752
The class of 1-A.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LtVJfy1j6
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eyuTYLmRR
Kiri: “Nh!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMMHIyuDa5
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvdBEOyscH
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!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVwjfgmzDz
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxf9WCXxlX
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjPPN5TIPM
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ScqWzn7W
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEKuo5q2D6
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjH6ms5pDk
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihxxcHxPmZ
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MxMxa3liT
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbVrIXWl6H
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fMpkeKJ0f
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjN89vJVhO
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZPgQM82G2
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz5x23ZMOO
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42049YH62q
He gave Izuku a short bow.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJoKekFzKX
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ330sGOJK2E
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsTk6eO8mh
Kiri: “Hello.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbkeSnHPPx
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkNs3ZLdgS
Kiri: “Um?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREy4rZyYwb
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9MysLRczN
Ida: “The hero points.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdmnufejwK
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYorCPu6tE
Ida: “Then why-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVYG4aZLTU
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBnTDdrehy
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0TjIKBizF
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb06AdwPqCW
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeCj5fVLLB
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZa8OS6Jf7
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvono9qw0e
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!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1835zek52Q
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU97K8pIs3
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIwCk3wxro
Momo: “Lucky.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYVySxqmHC
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTBaRw5LhX
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJZ382vEh
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yrRAjAeZX
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzCpwQpLCT
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f5TFHg4h1
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYmHIpOAla
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOXOjMMXGc
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPnS8os2Yp
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHU4JKMj8m
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?!’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S24Lzwpmn
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXAwwVSheO
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!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpFHOR1TnH
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYKOwdV4G9
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI7z52eRCZ
Jiro: “What the-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcDumeK3g5
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfhJxf0vJn
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13w8hopROU
No.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs9MKvWIvb
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdc9d4GsiL
"This is the Hero Course."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYEfFjagQz
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDnAGOHeom
"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?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU71s7Zg9q
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC693sQkn8G
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeurlojrneQ
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYNfF0FpDk
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjAR1QShNa
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ9lu44T7D
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLsck2XlfY
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk9EPSGamo
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmjQI9dzO
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK64V4rIH2F
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v6rlkYJkM
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffn37ti6lV
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADtRWbOEMd
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudE0VofFfM
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiCRE0sGDx
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7nFsEmpqW
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC9TZ86ESX
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sdzNoqR9F
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazknXXEivD
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BM8aq0wcV
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUFUwt4VlA
Bakugo: "DIE!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZph09nS1J9
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZJIj5Falv
‘Die?'
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwufveoHciD
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX4AjIW2CK
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AiXFqj7wQ
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDnkNATchz
The class erupted into various reactions.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP4ilwasAj
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ11cFOfsnw
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oF3LwnKqy
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfpu0AdLVo
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvJiNBLwfg
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTk8VbB4ri
The pink girl yelled again.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vawdO1deA
"This is going to be so much fun!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPqz3M4k3C
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc6ktNhNxP
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdxtfNDxDt
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim8oKZ0IeL
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrofP04f2x
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k5TBm1YFG
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo3yTitCN4
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtABR8eNxhN
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9dD7TsOsE
Aizawa grins again.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW5OaCkzDj
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIhVSPydU0
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31N49v7nzW
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3v760kZbx
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3r03yBrIe
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBNVf6LTg7
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwmBdM03xf
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySlk2JoOSv
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod35tuoH0n
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfh3oEu948
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCai60nC7fe
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggK87ckU43
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgPgmhz7c8
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkIqLBCUdt
Everything should be fine.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqng382Oic
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdBgWRRKru
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lMTynthe0
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8CafDriP
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlzdD6DJcy
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qo9iDjFd6
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzywUEEud2O
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ8PQ1IWGs
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun1tZvABhn
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy5hKGnPyb
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lR3MjN8Us
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu14aQ1jX8h
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CfbOdoR8m
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFkR8LPUzX
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuLiiGqA9J
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW73ExTmZ4r
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIYXU1CBKa
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgOOLNZ80c
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyADdQKtM4F
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgELibmBWx
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVsETRSM1Y
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2E6SiNNO3
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFrWws2nVA
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9W0tuFvAV
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5n4wmMfxP
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAST2vjOPh
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGidVthdS5w
Needless to say, the flyer won.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4NhpMtcw9
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTBCW6b3PI
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYfKodOVV8
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlacJNLrnnu
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi2etMi2fT
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCJhQ1ydkG
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVJDzyre8w
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gnVoNcx5G
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQEjJp2TJ4
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaghsejtqrp
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECE5Dbjrsu
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGTLvFNhup
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH48tY6fYWD
Jiro: “Crazy.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0fWVuGznh
Mina: “Amazing!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkP0nAZEgO
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyIHH07hH
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Po1EarND
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52q7UD9DJI
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds

Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwDvictDr
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoUjTiynyq
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNKvn0IhBQ
Kiri: “Nh.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZJfswjgpB
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJad82pooC
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nm9eK19Fu
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw18ayic1QT
She smiled brightly at him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfEpw4VTd6
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNeXJnHLV9
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZr7uC7dQA
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T6cJeRKT7
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuRR4FmPhK
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?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5nht9KWVg
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFwJ0gMNxB
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WOFFrylYB
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9O1k6OAs9
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlYFCNXbKE
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fClHdj7m
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrEm4v5iC
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT67FkoNKL
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bUIICLF2g
Kiri: “I’m not?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvp8RePRB1
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU1WzZNOfK
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0u20vmKh
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0zE6q9ir
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aaqzQzGV6
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Q7m3Tzp5
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MtNzKsI6r
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpZqVuRSW4
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynTvHn9mHg
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoKv6u0xdy
Grip tests.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH4te1KydO
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRyjZcJEtE
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHSlUWtGQt
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuRbLAl9Xs
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygh1aLZUj8
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWLZvEJ7W3
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡype8QJhPfF
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoEXgDdgqb
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yw2eao0Vf
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt3YZs4xdK
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZY8UPB9OY
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEimMEObYxs
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMDPeFpwWo
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSvqKZcmHK
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ2TNfJADy
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEbP3SMc7t
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt35jZ2Xm6
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtVic4XJJx
The top 5 were obvious.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGz57bdtM4
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSGvsHAQmc
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uri0C2Pgi
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla8Fdzr9J6
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU85C7mbgCH
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
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavE39S2Ypt
Yep, dead last.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFYUUOYNo8
Jiro: “No… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaaK74QvZU
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZImCkENTpO
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uP2SJCuZt
…
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuJe4Gm3oL
…
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwqUo6gMYC
HUH!!?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe29CUMM9w
Everyone was floored by the admission.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79f5G7k5M7
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyswUjFyX7S
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgg6O25Yow
Jiro: "Yes!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtINDG3lOa4
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj7MygemVy
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKxyfmEIBJ
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OBLShXv3c
Kiri: “Lair.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI0FyNvVgi
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl29olF4NVz
Aizawa: “Come again?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd3zUePbLs
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… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l8dyuI3Uw
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wlbzxnKU0
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7MVzKsXiN
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOzXzr6T1j
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLB2E2fHPR
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMTD1XCrS9
Jiro: “Ugh.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyynvutP0x
Momo: “Kyoka!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oqPeg60Qy
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcpLczGKzl
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfnwIkZ9fH
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7uegk351a
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Q1aTxoH0
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IInY7mf1M
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRhlG8nzoy
He turned back to Jiro.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyp3d0tSgj
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbgRR0DsMu
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?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizsANxU83E
Jiro: “I… understand.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfWrva48th
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3c0F654nJ
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcgwN8rzJf
“N-no sensei!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBM0SVdP2e
The droning from his students sounded at him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggYIYIphku
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa5K1wVgTb
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLBB0WXjiU
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Iqq0HKxWL
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxSZHxIBhQ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6dalvY0Tk
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiHKEwoXVQ
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9dR9EEsAY
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.
