Time moved fast after that night, one that thankfully no one investigated him about. Izuku thought it would settle things, but an ache is still present in his chest. One he does not know how to heal.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRMbO4b1Rs
The legions within aren’t any help since, of course, their suggestions are anything but heroic.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ2RHrb6XH
He did try to keep his mind off of it with schoolwork, his girlfriends, and side projects. One being All Might’s health.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJmz71r1Mq
After those massages with Momo and Kiri, he now felt confident enough to try and heal All Might.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioEqpRP8e6
It… didn’t go as well as he hoped.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B8ljJsh2P
Yes, he healed a bit, and his time limit did increase. But the damage was so severe that it would take time for Izuku to fully heal him properly. Worse, he can’t heal him every day so the wound would always revert some of its progress during hero work.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KeaAM81La
All Might reassured him, though. After all, because he passed on OFA, he will eventually have stepped down anyway. But at least this way, he can be there for his students a bit longer.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NEtmaGuAq
Well, that didn’t really help Izuku’s mood.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz72Ubu70HW
He wanted to also check on Shinso and really go deep on that aspect of his quirk. But considering the fact he also wants to bring in other possible apostles, it would be better to wait until after the final exams.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7rW9CPUv6
Speaking of, the day finally arrived. After all the study groups, training, and mental preparation, it was time for the exams.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSascK27ao
Class A stand side by side in their hero costumes, ready for some robot thrashing.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq556Au0Ycv
Aizawa: “Right, the test exercise will begin shortly. Obviously, you can fail this test, too. So if you want to head to the Forest Lodge, then we’d better not see any pitiful blunders from you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUxl2btXtP
But something was wrong here.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6PorPYi8p
Jiro: “Why are there so many teachers?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNoWbGaI32
Before them was a good chunk of the staff. Including Aizawa, there was Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Present Mic, Power Loader, and even the head of student discipline, Hound Dog.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFoo5FG3xA
Aizawa: “I’ve no doubt you all learned what information you could of the test beforehand. So I think you already hold a vague notion of what you are to do… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEj2weKIqN
Denki: “Sure, just like the entrance exam. It’ll be like a musou game, only with robots!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGfsLPdrUT
Mina: “I can just see the fireworks! The curry! The dare sessions!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvRpZrzUBk
Putting water on their dreams of passing so easily, Nezu popped out of Aizawa’s neck scar and proclaimed-
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkv6THNdNd
Nezu: “Sorry, I’m afraid not!! Due to various reasons. We’re changing the contents of the test, starting today!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHSqIr82lP
Frozen still by the sudden turn of fortune, Mina and Denki’s smiles slowly faded away.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v7WoD8crQ
Momo: “So what will the test be?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAPW10hp91
Nezu: “I’m glad you asked. From now on, we’ll focus our test more on person-on-person battles. Emphasizing a teaching environment closer to that of real battle. Something you all will have to face, sadly, maybe sooner than we’d hope.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp91M04Soz
The class sobered up at that. Even if it is likely, no one wants a repeat of the Hosu incident.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu6YhBeAev
Nezu: “So with that in mind, you all will be split into groups of three and face off against us here educators!!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax6lzjuAbV
Uraraka: “With… with our teachers… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdt0jl5IHX
Nezu: “Now, who all of you are paired with and which teacher you’ll be fighting have already been decided. The way you tend to move, your grades, and your degree of familiarity. We personally judged how you’ll be pairing up based on all sorts of things, and we’ll list the matchups now.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBbmZh5QMj
Jiro: “Wait a minute. If that’s the case, there are too many teachers for a 3-on-1.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWwbvtXddl
Nezu: “Who said anything about a 3-on-1?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWkS181wF3
Denki: “No way! You want us to-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWViL6iWBiX
Nezu: “Yep! Most of you will be fighting two teachers. Only fair since there will be three of you. For example, the first round will be Kirishima, Ashido, and Sero will be facing me and Cementoss.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn47Ryiq2I
Sero: “We’re fighting the principal?!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FXMYiwirO
Mina: “Aw, man!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RrAtUpRlu
She says while rubbing her head with both of her hands in frustration.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoItgDoqHHE
Kiri: “Good luck, Rocky.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjmyJZykf0
Kirishima: “I think I’ll need more than that. But thanks, Tae.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHfsWdRVXy
Momo: “Hold on, you said most of us. What did you mean by that?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjaNfKHafM
Nezu: “Yes, the best part. The last two teams here are a bit special. The first of which will be Tae, Yaoyorozu, and Todoroki.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiId0KZ0Pdv
The three glance at each other before nodding. They all fought together before. They can do this.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN9ebPk2x2
Mina: “Wow, talk about a powerful team.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAZOIT7qUU
Nezu: “Indeed, I would dare say they are the strongest team assembled. And that is why they’ll be facing four opponents.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXQDrtRrCW
…
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6vF4wbTVg
…
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3N8joTTYP
Everyone: “HUH!!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6qbYhQOp8
Momo: “I should've expected as much. Nothing is ever easy.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8G64adOT0
Kiri: “We’re in trouble.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprQL3o1I4D
Izuku: “Good luck, you two.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljdxX5MwIM
Todoroki: “Who are we fighting?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4sQlCZRxN
Aizawa: “You’re against me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPodFP3qgBq
He says while giving a not-so-friendly smile.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnoo6Ant7h
Nezu: “In addition, Aizawa has three helpers who made time in their busy schedules to come and help test their underclassmen. These three third-years rank among the top of all U.A students, so they qualify for this.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjzB8RUieu
Coming out of one of the buses that will bring the class to the testing sites, as if waiting for their time to shine, were two boys and one beautiful girl.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1SIzaC2MO
Nezu: “They’re known as the Big Three.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcKOBebKEq
The walked forward to stand alongside the other teachers, their presence immediately changing the atmosphere of the setting. Especially for those that will soon face them.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRxkn3MeOK
Mina: “Big three!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvQM3SEd4C
Jiro: “So these guys are… I had heard there were people like them, but…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe21Sb8LTu5
Izuku: ‘Are you serious?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBpHaAE1H3
He recognized one, the middle guy with the bright smile. He remembered watching him at the sports festival last year, but the results were… strange, to say the least.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtDctzuIS3
But right now, the girl is the one who got his attention. And of course it’s for stranger reasons.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4wCD1LM9Z
The Seventh: “M9$&%<.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9R6AkYQP7
Izuku: ‘Her? I just met her?! I can’t just ask such a question.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO32Xcbb2dv
To meet another apostle candidate now of all times is crazy. And it seems The Seventh is quite eager to claim her.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhCUSZ8Fyf
Izuku: ‘M-M-Maybe after the exam. Have patience.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmXOujJMZ9
They creature settles and holds the prince to his word. With that done, Izuku refocuses on the conversation and introductions. Right on time to see Amajiki, the black-haired intense one, glare at the entire class.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJF0tMx8GU
Several students tensed at the impact of the glare, enough to make their hands stand on end. But Izuku wasn’t worried; the reason became clear eventually.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRJBe3nD48
Amajiki: “It’s no good… Mirio… Hadou. No matter how hard I try to think of all of them as potatoes… everything except their heads just has human form. And besides their heads, I can only see them as humans! What should I do… the words… they won’t come out! My mind’s completely black… it’s so painful! I wanna go home… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiwEW5lqhP
Everyone: “HUUH?!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J19bCRLAc
Sero: “This guy… is one of the top students in U.A?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqmbjr0Pw6
Kiri: “Don’t underestimate him.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9LyUjBqN6
Kirishima: “Yeah, he probably has some crazy quirk or something.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfGH7kbjAP
Nejire: “Yep, his quirk is awesome. But back to introductions. This guy is Tamaki Amajiki, the chickenhearted. Even though he’s a human, weird right?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQa8FPYyX2
Sero: “I… guess?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9PtRRx9cL
Nejire: “The smiling guy and energetic guy are over here, Mirio Togata.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwul9Ic2oA
Mirio: “Hello everyone! I have only one thing to say to all of you. The journey ahead-?!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExkdVtDWxh
Everyone: ‘Journey ahead…?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1S4DnW7Lf
Miro: “That’s where you say ‘will be full of difficulties’!” Alright! You all utterly fail at getting the point of the conversation!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRTrnD3pff
Everyone: ‘Right…’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfBjsV486V
Sero: “At least one of them seems normal… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FdqNCO32A
Tokoyami: “That is yet to be seen.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2PxY0yw6U
Nejire: “Back to me, I’m Nejire Hadou! We’ve come here today to test out our underclassmates. Speaking of-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNbObPeqDE
Faster than expected, Nejire appears in front of Todoroki with a smile still wide as ever.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvXwFaMsK9
Nejire: “You’re Todoroki, right!? Why do you have that burn on your face!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwtMPsfHDT
Everyone: ‘Seriously!?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysxuqk515R
Todoroki: “… Well, that’s-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsmOiCbyiI
Not even waiting for an answer, she moves onto her next interest.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NMCX1U3eK
Nejire: “And you, Ashido, if those horns break, do they grow back? Can you move ‘em?! Asui, are you a tree fog? You’re not a toad, right? Shoji, why are you wearing a mask? Catch a cold? Or is that the latest fashion? Or is it a part of your quirk? No matter who I look at, all of you have things that pique my interest! How strange!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoWfRxzYqU
She says while going from one student to another like some hyperactive bunny.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5SyCClptA
Denki: “Oh, a natural airhead! How cute!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFOU0PcyDF
Mina: “She’s kind of like Midoriya when he gets all mumbley.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP970hu3RNa
Nejire: “Right! Midoriya! Your family’s quirk is the most interesting. The way it changes and evolves is different from other psychic quirks. I’ve seen your matches; you’re so awesome! When you change things, do you have to actually see the atoms, or do you just sense them? How do they feel? I have so many questions!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c94PUt5dn
Izuku: “I-I… um… i-it’s… y-you’re… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNY84eZEP5
Izuku: ‘Too close!’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnZLK7QcPD
It was then that Izuku felt the sharp gazes of two females on his neck. Lord, someone save this man.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAlQmacH8B
Aizawa: “I see you’re all still lacking any sort of rationality.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PhUAjWapl
Nejire: “Haha, sorry.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB46odgndv
She says after returning back to the teachers, giving Izuku some needed breathing room. Seeing the chaos die down, Momo coughs into her hand before asking the important question.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02VLwg8QFe
Momo: “Despite their… eccentricities, I’m sure they are powerful. Adding them alongside Aizawa seems unfair. It is a three vs four, after all.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7IAippkOL
Mina: “Right! It’s like you want them to fail or something.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH54EqUwNuh
Nezu: “You might not think you have a chance now, but we picked you three because the combination of your quirks can be quite extraordinary. That is if you figure out how to properly work as a team.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VJpzrCiHm
Momo: “I see. No pressure… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgyOTmBNi2
Kiri: “We can do it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJv64ZxWKW
Todoroki only nods, but that alongside Kiri’s confidence allows Momo to shear some of the anxiety building up.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm9obF9zld
Jiro: “Still feels like they were dealt the worst hand.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiBTOT2E12
Kirishima: “Yeah, I’m not feeling that bad about my chances anymore.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnAwGFUTNY
Nezu: “Don’t feel too bad for them. The last team has it arguably worse. The last match will involve Midoriya, Bakugo, and Uraraka.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqqxV1bskH
The three twist their heads to each other, tensions rising to meet the enormity of their unresolved issues. But what are the chances?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YDuhfWjgb
Izuku: ‘How? Why? I can guess why me and Ka… Bakugo were picked. We made too much noise that night. They may want us to rebuild our bond through a trial. But Uraraka? Did they know about what happened between her and Bakugo? Do they spy on us? Or did they just notice the tension… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNwFfNmcQt
Nezu: “And their opponent will be…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuMxV5wAqr
From behind the three appeared the hulking figure of-
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8iNduS2EN
All Might: “I’m here to oblige! Now cooperate and come at me to win, you three.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRvdkIqOSs
Uraraka: “W-W-We’re fighting, All Might!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ7cOTKMVA
Jiro: “Yep, that’s the worst hand here.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTulG3gOJOn
Bakugo: “Tch… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaypbFn6WT
Izuku: ‘Really taking advantage of my healing, aren’t you, All Might?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsodRk3QAY
Aizawa: “The teams will go one after the other, but they will go to their testing zones separately. There will be viewing monitors so you can see how the current match is proceeding. The general outline of the test will be explained by each of the teachers you’ll be battling. You’re to be transported by the campus buses. Time is precious, so get in them promptly.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaDViu9IAT
And so it was; the rest of the groups were set and properly ordered.
