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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXssz6Bgeo
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZSU8knuzu
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa6XgPhJsY
She was holding back tears.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMIxQLtNQE
Inko: "So, so proud."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxLEUsKfn
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ittFmw8k
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAytL4MEPt0
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlb3XwPRiH
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdZyfDmnyL
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FKQGeqAuw
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAIsyAq6h7
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3CqYi7z7E
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp21blIr73
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI1LJuvT6J
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf7bEY2sy4
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoeDal5C4O
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLyqiYl1hb
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJggrAEWJMR
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmlS81O0ND
Kiri: “Big.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYHygtgDZ4
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pCYPAqy8k
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9S4QG0HzS
The class of 1-A.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNuKtEBpl8
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Wmx2wLns
Kiri: “Nh!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUzdEfizM8
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbpdaQy5Ds
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!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmwHovhgsK
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ToRJfV2b
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAtszMNPoU
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhf0E6Lf8I
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbZLLEhGB0
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8EnKtaaPT
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUZ9s0iqyC
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqj1iWni3w
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSqu41N5dZ
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡploNIodLNG
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2cSZca7Vu
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5CQIESK5H
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzpGDqKtPC
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACUPbfvclC
He gave Izuku a short bow.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMQ9R2hCk2
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJepCuhHhx
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFxxn4y7kC
Kiri: “Hello.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTuE1sARfo
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSkKJ5Tahz
Kiri: “Um?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRm3JCeoQN
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAsZWZhbs3
Ida: “The hero points.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWSHndSkyT
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JtlL2SXES
Ida: “Then why-”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGmbBQEeCj
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDOZzRtCed
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIFjMPmRfd
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82qg9oel6i
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNg3oGaHyb
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8STKfW5N0
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx79J6nRU0j
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!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe0KEOKUXA
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vVLb4SbGZ
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihUdIpHnlU
Momo: “Lucky.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYctH91S0y
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ByQMF4UAJ
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde4KmNffrj
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.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46iHRytnFW
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UznkZN2nI
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLpePkOurn
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDod8suMkm2
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVvHGj65IR
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkm0uuvT55
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hOPBvXTu2
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?!’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITEGiBvf6w
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOMN1XfQt2
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!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z6QDiRfyo
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiZVlO6QhC
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUyN6VlnHk
Jiro: “What the-”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4xzNvzfeL
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEZ73upVWy
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpsF7K09Sp
No.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyhEAF1tlY
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIQyf4OUYD
"This is the Hero Course."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr2HeQnNJn
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPdqDe1LI
"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?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2tPEkZEkb
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mrw79afW
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlfcFcya6U
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH6xJX9iZ4
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxjIrCVppE
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NKNpYqBVa
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdef6DUmq29
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb2w1lddMX
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3C8PhSlGT
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p6uNPfqBx
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRK91xkx89
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOi0oQSWZM
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNYycxh72i
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2tyvjnhJt
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtSFZnxhVY
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c8t8LuxRI
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3vwvBKWTA
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8th6ncsdVU
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ24Z00FtcW
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWUsUmfW0F
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG23Mkj1rZ0
Bakugo: "DIE!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q8ZtatteY
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35K3oqdfET
‘Die?'
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiPG08CFJW
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOnQU6EqNk
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJRWlkE9Dj
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pQeN530wl
The class erupted into various reactions.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOPIB86O0Q
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItjQ4prVXE
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKroQUIwBo
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk3GW15XBO
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvqVa655eo
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmCxUB8Jew
The pink girl yelled again.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcCjm6I7UK
"This is going to be so much fun!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUAzuRTJeD
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aPUF9U1D8
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lIauyOQVO
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lux4TIeLv
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcOajL1TFp
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YJLRoGUqD
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sA5Hj3Ijf
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkjsuyjogv
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSehjCRNi8
Aizawa grins again.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8wYo5N06k
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43K8UtxvGb
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1W5IrPCrE
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRM3MpYSnH
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXurbZ5Jm2
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv14GLorz1
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNFT269p0
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUeWxgdd39
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6xnxE9hcP
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimQPRzeZIH
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrku9LEMGYD
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLXD6mcCID
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzB4jp6wk
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtHCPD29n6
Everything should be fine.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorFCFCRw3I
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9j3zd6Vny
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSamo370JQj
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILWsNUid5t
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqeXSRiZKo
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj1OX8ELn2
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7zZ78nu6A
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfYIXgLn9s
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm6u4MBHZ7
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2edFwcKXEQ
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsbOuCzkGx
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPhkGm6tpe
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3hzoiEfMG
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Xni6rZsu
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1qegaalOc
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHaRdmrbUk
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicCjmSQezt
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x7ybImnsD
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpIMMGkdf5
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtWHRAuZme
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwk5pQiSvd
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujbB6NOLDe
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlhrTUqtIQ
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j9TpMeJR3
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VdNv2GRyS
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLlVTJyxp9
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93krQy33N
Needless to say, the flyer won.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rwkMSNBuc
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Aw6mDjCp
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc44gDHpI4q
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTI4lIie9Q
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oF0CsSrRm
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKqItI69V3
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoc8AScd2W
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sr30wGjMc
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWLs8TIaBZ
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUrDwjOJXT
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZjYE8SBlK
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLlyxGi4Pi
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFFYA6pmD4
Jiro: “Crazy.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcd5z3U7AW
Mina: “Amazing!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKK3y24leS
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJoi6kGcSd
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAU6UB5abw
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUv1E3Rsb
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ty514ERLb
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFTQJJDOu5
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vhULw2lNb
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKYlfrid33
Kiri: “Nh.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVUZ7UmnsW
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwlw41CL1v
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsAaCY0QX2
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27NiPK0HyO
She smiled brightly at him.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmCgCbLS3A
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY6RJPUfQJ
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ryyef4uiz
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzarSL2otr
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTnB6i5drK
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?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSALMbp3V
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmCnwv8DsK
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DsCnTY8R3
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNj3ZoUaqU
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWuz1nFQlC
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfCcB6uQlN
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OC4IzI3QI
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0bpsqQt5v
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87jT9ctorc
Kiri: “I’m not?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMeHueIsNt
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAtl7vP59t
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA591Lou2C
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs53wh9sNc3
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdhZOxIiXR
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU0AZTyABO
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnku8HgXycl
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB5MdqWQgp
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmXILHm8G6
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktvpqVx5CQ
Grip tests.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE6oSwn5tK
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ewr16eEOd
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfKcwbJEwW
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEBXoAbEp5
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2zN71yGWS
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtSawwp7w7
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDYATI6hI3
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qSPwDHKBg
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a5hyZVHhV
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BLg4vHswW
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsdgA21QpK
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWfN96rcy0
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL7jguHX8g
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsssl2a4d8
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKsbdohi2b
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOFq91yyoL
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj6H94F1Kf
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1grrnhKmvk
The top 5 were obvious.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWfblOGUPm
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sAdZ4Cwp5
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd6bfmNC99
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJEgqw4XLB
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VG1Dtg3CK
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
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEdaaqSY1B
Yep, dead last.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgFlU4hYOw
Jiro: “No… ”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSHWCZqo0f
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYabog8auCh
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS28DAKsE3Q
…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8S18ukjqy
…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyKNr2WnE7
HUH!!?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJjzm3qZ7X
Everyone was floored by the admission.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanPzJNIRFy
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4RQ5IG2Ws
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHTa0QxpJ
Jiro: "Yes!"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e052tLBeQ
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtIXhNX3Z7
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw8DvnOt8V
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb1svB4T4s
Kiri: “Lair.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgZtzjHyNo
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhND20nDZ2d
Aizawa: “Come again?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4oB1YWt2s
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… ”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZhs28Cs3r
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFC0OYlWC6
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Iyim4Elo
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE2xEM0Q7P
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMJVcOCFDs
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsPoxP8yRw
Jiro: “Ugh.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm5zJoCzXA
Momo: “Kyoka!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzxvxhabte
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLg7VIXEbF
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfrBPezpCo
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6omx8GQvfY
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFBN5w4YyD
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7zAFGzNOD
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpEUluWpql
He turned back to Jiro.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T8NKcTWwQ
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZXSmY9ZTj
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmGXR0Fp4S
Jiro: “I… understand.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqpE3ppYRX
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCAYc3qwre
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZXEuGmEO1
“N-no sensei!”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZK2WH1hTt
The droning from his students sounded at him.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4thzewJNu
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."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk9lYdZ59z
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Elgh6cK1A
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbxaRZM6yv
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSgx5TH4T
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTMqlDSnhq
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkceo7M1Fmh
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGUHoqfiW5
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.
