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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzZC9Cp8lC
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs8Lohbsh5
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCV5TsXIB7
She was holding back tears.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfzjJgrpB6
Inko: "So, so proud."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqmXQhZgEn
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA8GLKXpsJ
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgslIxHYk
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB7rqaLbEn
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrIMjhALO9
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuqNRlbMMd
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPl2JQaHqM
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqjZyJZTmS
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bHsd2ZqxM
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2coz7awJp9
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRfCzNKUv7
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM97odUko3W
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws4eFtLhrT
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW9A9neWte
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgybV9PSxT
Kiri: “Big.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAHDyvftm6
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmknIF9NzaJ
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFKTNXjPd1
The class of 1-A.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt5daBQl8n
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXP8viydyV
Kiri: “Nh!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHqjyzQVjb
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EteVTciH4
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!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPh73L4X6O
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp5QYd4aNi
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcS4CGLrQ1
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzae9lUMBu
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzfOuWVkfS
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m7WKgILtC
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlUk3CkqTt
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLszi0Rifh
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkopKiTVEO
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNlXVTP8hB
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfoV0ZIX9i
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3AiJSyoqH
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz0U3vnQZV
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAGr6m8szP
He gave Izuku a short bow.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGpxYhh0Fc
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUbbfPGDFy
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmwRR6RTtO
Kiri: “Hello.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y0EgEGzj9
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt64cmoIRp
Kiri: “Um?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1pGrfKDF4
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjziGC2mVQb
Ida: “The hero points.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLdkyHbZvO
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfvPejv9R2
Ida: “Then why-”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnX1TeSov3
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NlNgElzEp
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmouKUnxnd0
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo9FYcwBzj
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNG1k4yF7a
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdVjeg6Bm4
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdAtmEE0HC
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!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5LsqiEUKN
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTZ0pkQ2aT
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5o1lnr5rX
Momo: “Lucky.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5wWoKJIsG
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Dcf0Emq9
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57WEaxy15D
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.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw6fdmn9v0
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyqh29JT3o
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fIVPCfKU4
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkVrnTW377
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNapuKKHbW
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUs2BsC3ob
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jvrgho2xY
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?!’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtraJjz8XJC
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7EIkfYTmx
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!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnqVP9n7qz
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPxaCJpGT
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE70ULVgLu
Jiro: “What the-”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8pZCBar7Y
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj0oXIRP0t
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9K6pafUbW
No.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg8aoxUWpW
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36VwOZrjkX
"This is the Hero Course."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGXbURtOZ6
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2kal02YxP
"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?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZXJL1RFH
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYJrzT1OiX
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9s9e0Wbnp
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnQp90ZUUc
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VsVAx8x59
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zq3V2XZyQ
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRteNZvDkW
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKIJ4dyZuI
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ22tkLni11
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOHIC7qFyR
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXAgljovF7
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEybffh1zo0
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JFSA4EkWB
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMJE9BlhGy
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6rO1vCj7E
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1aMLUIeWz
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOtzyikjmc
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nXi0YKF8Q
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gf4H2XMno
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7VRnd5XhA
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vrtKDtqnj
Bakugo: "DIE!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjcVjdBeqv
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsh12UW3NB
‘Die?'
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPGxlooiYa
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoHxvaKTqV
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjXaadeOzB
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kZT2WicJX
The class erupted into various reactions.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3U9nnPI2D
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM59tVWqKT
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeK0Q62qqW
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQYup79VyF
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdLkBDeokq
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59bTLqV87Z
The pink girl yelled again.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCZ5xe9Ged
"This is going to be so much fun!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQDp6kJkh8
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVuppyE7HY
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGPjMe7Cil
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH8T53DS4T
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM1pgQ4P32
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YXJh1KxH1
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPC74VWzxF
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E7vALxvej
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3eyesbbWu
Aizawa grins again.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15c8way09M
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykLrSBc5sR
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPup5Hb4OQW
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszaNV92Pe1
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBNwa3h1Dc
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS778qlITgL
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSFlCKnvWv
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQFrma0hu
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCyhFzpuFg
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oSv1tOP9U
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaCTcdC84c
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC1lPkAKNx
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPit59CiHny
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG10ICCdjeV
Everything should be fine.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyB1UEM3ow
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdcQ2yFjB9
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7teefbyl8
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyp4dnfmUi
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Kqyym8ow
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVD3XJsi6i
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBraoUtJ23
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5iY8pHcX0
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVt8YiA1Im
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAEngAhWEc
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp57vUs1lZ
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz625U6jdc
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7eSHeFx6h
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mEbjsZHjn
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72o7kgcPfF
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrqsSZwNec
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71EoXRHDOb
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLXt5CFyiI
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvE9xs78hY
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0XGVFR51m
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwj6suCwYV
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTxOWjnUw3
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWgZH7Yxzj
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0L8qPTqaD
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerM8LjdcyY
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQh8HA9hdm
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO0QQL4rPr
Needless to say, the flyer won.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSBgojJSfL
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvjSRvxjxW
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBrvdSCbGg
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbakIPFurr
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKomHvKIoK2
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiGtqiASvW
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9O2ufUCyg
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jfxU4NTxZ
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkAs7UZi3K
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCX6bMAzhJ
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPE6oQ33gZ
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXmrbqzDDY
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthZ0OPsa2
Jiro: “Crazy.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsegdVGWrym
Mina: “Amazing!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZlz6VQgFf
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bTKOzAH4b
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xLePwA8Hc
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnO8Y41Kv5
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ4qDVcNsm
Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2DFTFc9c5
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuQLunwln3
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3M0bUKeIn
Kiri: “Nh.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATsXKTZqkt
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheYQjNjfD2
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNmUO0etoY
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulwrqR6aZh
She smiled brightly at him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhon17ZFSa
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCbTK3V7m
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa7mJlDAns
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok0wvFYhw0
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfU8qiuccf
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?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJW8Xw1cj6
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGZsG4B6qU
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmwf78K1UF
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e8FiVwXNW
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwGntOVv6D
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmrZRIttgx
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOVgMWI1aK
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcKWqGVbhT
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOxpZT2H9M
Kiri: “I’m not?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhfryVDBQU
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oixGomcZt
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoagwTmH5rr
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb0v6GcjxI
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2CFo776G0
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwxRoyA9SX
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEw1devg3g
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB37vCMdzI
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId55kSKfsP
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGJPJj9sL4
Grip tests.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmjlZSnvlF
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykDOqbMdI3
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI70VOyzcZ
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRjX74Tyes
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxzNv2yaZy
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7dM9Wfqkw
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GITELxt7C
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfd8sXppjV
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhpfweKbDm
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3SwulpDB9
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq78duxVSQM
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5QbjNLA92
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn4uF5r2Rg
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSgG6mNrXf
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtt93WZbSw
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2odGRtNgLT
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkBk12mLAF
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT9HFiRZfK
The top 5 were obvious.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NpPWSFKfK
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoTJerZqaL
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pvRZjgbBB
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAaJBXBbVx
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yOXBhc20O
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
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlJbcQgeCq
Yep, dead last.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh9PdtbuS1
Jiro: “No… ”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gROBAjRgK
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pFBxm6jwE
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8SbJMs3Wo
…
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGr7arENKm
…
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSzuSLMJjR
HUH!!?
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF9aR3JBca
Everyone was floored by the admission.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvNbhxpGwc
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1ymdsSVb
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPkzFOL7jV
Jiro: "Yes!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoIq6ZOtXN
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYSGbP2BGq
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxbVDrx46O
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMnmgo8wf5
Kiri: “Lair.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NikNZwkOH
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzwi5SIMWD
Aizawa: “Come again?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzhnXDmWC8
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… ”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rbJSk22iS
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFTVuucLRh
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthvlmVHeVG
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PoztVx8nv
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciFo9FfwpP
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0UAcmLTRL
Jiro: “Ugh.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N0qeAUyHO
Momo: “Kyoka!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEXq51qaRx
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FLI23ybk4
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMT4ObIuIU
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfmJJ1inhC
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkJ4qekSn3
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY3aTVi1d5
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEDdEl9FHN
He turned back to Jiro.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OIioM05iT
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p9CB05NaM
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?
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4LgVsLdAq
Jiro: “I… understand.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy33w8heIM
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQe04lnOai
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhRQKBJ6PG
“N-no sensei!”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dTfboE4rs
The droning from his students sounded at him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7DpKWQiLP
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wpf47Qxro
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCkc6g9kd1
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjFNN7Eyg
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSKQbZQera
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ETkRuofj8
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FAQgjh30O
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU70uHPPhw
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.
