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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLt2jMy7Ex
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0yPpgRhj5
Inko: "I'm so proud of you two!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtSfxQ52ux
She was holding back tears.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPP2TwOrPf
Inko: "So, so proud."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJsIRSbZGF
Tatsumaki: “Alright, Mom, Izu is starting to turn blue.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg1Arsiwwf
Inko: “Oh! Sorry, honey.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR9k6KZuaK
Izuku: “I-It’s okay, Mom.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI7S1RI8OP
Kiri pats Izuku on the back to get the air back into his lungs.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDe61ZJRHr
Inko: “I wish Fubuki was here to see you off.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqc4c1F9BH
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I don’t know what’s with her these days. Always some business to take care of.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Mk2fZPRO
Izuku: “Go easy on her, Tatsu; things happen.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxogPytWBN
Tatsumaki: “Yeah, but you getting into UA happens only once.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxib1qJrckM
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaeTN3kdoe
Tatsumaki: ‘Even her psychic energy is off. What is happening, Fubu?’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL0xvqUK7P
Izuku: “Well, we’re off! Love you, Mom, Tatsu!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdsGAEtCHq
Kiri: “Later, Onee-chan, Okaa-san.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4gyICGnOl
Tatsumaki and Inko wave them goodbye before the two new students disappear in a flash of green.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpwfEUylaZ
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ002XE4lOb2
Kiri: “Big.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeZf1oYVIE
Izuku: “Yeah, it might take us a while to find our class.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIorlj4alyq
After an embarrassing amount of searching, the two finally found their class.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigt6hKQ212
The class of 1-A.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4K5T3sHvz
Izuku: “We finally made it! Let’s go!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMxv1JtqHu
Kiri: “Nh!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMtBPPv2h9
He opened the door and was immediately beset by noise. The two stare at the surprising but familiar faces.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiu1M5nBda
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!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vn9nS0JOy
Kiri: “Glasses and bomber.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiBk8vp0xc
Izuku: “Of course both of them are here.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwYKdfldx9
After getting the third degree from Glasses in the exams, he had felt as if they wouldn’t get along in the slightest.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyA6GheyGz
Bakugo: "Huh? What do I care about any of that? What school are you from, you extra?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj3wB29rtV
Ida: “M-my name is Tenya Ida. I hail from Somei Academy!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkhV9l0Lq1
Bakugo: "Somei? So, you're a damn elite, huh? I'll have fun crushing you."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGJWvPit5u
Ida: “Cr-crushing? You barbarian! Do you truly wish to become a hero?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHA6bV6ZCe
Iida had a little dark-blue shadow on his forehead. He then caught sight of Izuku and Kiri and hurried over to them.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIkIHZLeGA
Ida "We meet again! I'm-"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeqkcTKDzj
Izuku: “Tenya Iida from Somei. I heard."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7uck1Kn3J
Kiri: “I’ll still call you… Glasses.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyViPj1Kyv
Ida coughed and straightened out before continuing.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsWOFuyxdv
Ida: "Midoriya, before the exam began, I completely misjudged you. I wish to offer my sincerest apologies for my words and actions."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEaPFsbfNr
He gave Izuku a short bow.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54p5VEGNgU
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsdsAjIjYV
Izuku: "Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida. And this here is Kiri Tae."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlWw3ZZucr
Kiri: “Hello.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9GjHeRnXi
Ida: “Ah yes, you were the other one who figured out the true nature of the exam.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL94noz3LUu
Kiri: “Um?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXobM8phPs
Izuku: “What do you mean?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhZRO0EAfL
Ida: “The hero points.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G13FA0nXR
Izuku: “We didn’t know about it. We actually thought we failed.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwHlq7802T
Ida: “Then why-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhB2jcv5Ua
Izuku: “Because Uraraka was in trouble.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t7E9h9MaJ
Kiri: “Because Izuku was in trouble.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ4YGvAmHp
Uraraka: “And you two were so awesome when you did it.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkuLPzGGk
Momo: “It was truly heroic; I was moved to help as well.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0JFoKHH8F
Jiro: “And since Momo was going to help, I had to help too.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKFHa2V08C
Izuku and Kiri to see the other Uraraka along with the two other girls who helped them.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0FdlOopqn
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!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKogfcGSU5
Momo: “I have to admit, I couldn’t sleep much until the letter came.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujUSqWY1ND
Jiro: “Lucky for me, I didn’t attack the big robot. So I slept like a baby.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIXeUVRbV6
Momo: “Lucky.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNs1urAi9u
The group, minus Kiri, shared a warm laugh. Ida clenched his teeth a little at the sight.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjXQOcdoWH
Ida: ‘They’re… so much better than me. There aren’t any words for it.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWllOkbmYjL
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.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD0aLT7aeg
Jiro: “No problem. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8td9QAhB1E
Momo: “It was my pleasure.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx13Culjea
Uraraka: “Haha, it was the least I could do.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16iw8V8v39
Over in his chair, Katsuki was glaring at the group.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF2QRyjpAt
Bakugo: ‘That means two kids came from our middle school.'
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjZaM0UHKV
Little crackles flew from his fists as he clenched them incredibly hard.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqmfsJTPCT
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?!’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlmhKod7cy
It was only the fact that Bakugo had more than doubled Izuku's villain and, therefore, combat score that kept him from literally exploding.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5odI3RIg3P
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!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wL24ibwnE
"If you're here to socialize, then go home!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz3dI1ZdMs
They each froze and turned to look outside the classroom. On the floor was a yellow caterpillar!
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHseWXu52I
Jiro: “What the-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ82tkxu5X
Kiri: “Large caterpillar.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlnhPsvyuL
The group was completely taken aback by the strange sight. A friendly quirk beast like the principal, perhaps?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPmKwyCYkg
No.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtMrKowH1C
A second glance later and they realized it was a sleeping bag, and the face staring at them looked decidedly unamused.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvdAVgTLbC
"This is the Hero Course."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf00Z4C34s
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX6whk0MKx
"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?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hBAtoK9k2
He strode inside while everyone wondered who exactly this was. Even Izuku didn't recognize him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71FCfDIQgX
Aizawa: "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shōta Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GPz3oS61R
He sounded everything but pleased. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a dark blue uniform with red and white stripes.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGbf5aJgfK
Aizawa: "It’s a bit sudden, but you all need to put these on and head to the field."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpepPcBw2FR
Everyone in the class had varying degrees of confusion written on their faces as the man walked right back out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhfrgqiK3O
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY92cMKSX8r
"A Quirk Assessment Test?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXnixNro5V
Nearly the entire class repeated Aizawa's words in confusion.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMQnite2w0
Uraraka: "But what about the entrance ceremony or the guidance sessions?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3GIUp78GJ
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EZ2FWCAOx
Aizawa ignores their confused looks and leads them to the designated area.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWP4b7LnOX
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSPdRLJBKK
He glanced towards the group, lingering on Kiri before deciding on his target.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JRvrSHbFy
Aizawa: "Bakugo, step forward. What was your record with the softball throw in middle school?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T8HMkEd8R
Bakugo: "Ninety-five meters."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc11yXHNtSt
The past year, roughly, had been hell on him. He pushed himself harder than ever before after Deku had shown him up in school.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwQt1rD7B1
Aizawa tossed him a ball with a strange little gizmo wrapped tightly to it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgLy5uQx17
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu48GUqFqTx
Bakugo: "Awesome. I think I'm going to like this class."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cya81Sxjv
Katsuki was starting to smirk as he stretched his arms. He wound up before chucking the ball with a roar.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmAyqzvgia
Bakugo: "DIE!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tNuMsq3gC
A massive explosion accompanied it, and it flew nearly out of sight with smoke rings from the explosion accompanying it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEyYAI0gbH
‘Die?'
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkK6tAyF7L
The class collectively thought, utterly puzzled.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLEIITUOpq
It landed almost a kilometer away, and Aizawa showed them his reader. 987.3 meters.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT9L2e1vqG
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iwPRskoVF
The class erupted into various reactions.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGByIBhzqgy
"Wahooo! This is awesome!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU6p6cKeV0
A literally pink girl with horns and golden eyes in black sclera yelled out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEq5mC79yN
"We get to use our quirks right off the bat!? Nice!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8gNl8JfxW
One of the boys, the one with red spiky hair, says out loud.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT4Kqm3Hdr
Jiro: "Almost a kilometer? Seriously?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZTtHYdbfZ
The pink girl yelled again.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCc2Ns5URC
"This is going to be so much fun!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmG29er94e
Aizawa: “Fun, you say?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwaN10GQzv
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU9QFeCCvm
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz0aUbZPbB
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGVWnuzr6h
Aizawa: "Your fates are in our hands. Welcome to the Hero Course."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZMQHZv1xY
Uraraka: "What! But it's the first day, and we're risking expulsion?! That's not fair!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWdgZvgJEC
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8uo0AcRBU
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0vLbAnNG5
Aizawa grins again.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQBDrjryG5
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWBlMmwj2m
Ida: "Trial by fire, huh?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcpbOeAnee
Izuku: "We fought and bled to get here, sensei! We're not going home without a fight!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVYzke8rVw
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKeRclS6WU
Aizawa: "Good to hear. The demonstration is over, so let's get it on. First up is the fifty-meter dash."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss1bb3MiVK
He turned and led them over to the tracks.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELmG2JGFXk
Aizawa: ‘They dispelled the aura of fear I created. Now they're all determined to pass. These kids are good.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQUhOaeEe3
The dashes were done in groups of two, one per lane. Aizawa called up the first two competitors.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCHJNe31ee
Aizawa: "Mina Ashido and Kiri Tae, step up."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugHA9nY4yX
The two stepped up to the speed lanes.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHIUk7H5mq
Mina: “I’m not going to lose!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmjuhCVnmk
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQsEjYFh9H
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yZDALhgox
Everything should be fine.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY64x5CMu5
She turns back around and gets into a running position alongside Mina.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw2cLjtVRS
The robot the school was using to record results fired off the starting gun, and they were off.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMCuEGsNc8
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlq1hIWs6j
Mina: 4.92 seconds
Kiri: 2.80 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiibLMTgmc
Mina: “Man! And she didn’t even break a sweat. Did she even use her quirk?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUIlyn8AzB
Kiri went back to Izuku and gave him her best smile.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhk2J0tI9T
Izuku: “W-Way to go, Kiri. Your physical enchantment quirk is really amazing.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirJYud1psm
Thankfully, that got everyone to turn back to the tests. Physical enchantment quirk? Checks out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Re0Un0S3
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMXyydDyOw
He finished the race in 3.13 seconds, with Tsuyu displaying some incredible leaping ability and finishing in 5.58 seconds.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQBExHaDRE
Bakugo looked back at Tae and Deku before clenching his fist.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLyRvphSB
Bakugo: ‘I have to do better.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TmnM7IfTY
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeb6pSfQTD
Jiro knew she wasn’t winning this but still put up a decent fight.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs99l96Zk2
Ida: 2.34 seconds
Jiro: 7.50 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc4RK7B5gn
Izuku: "Awesome job, Ida!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfhy2FBaYn
Izuku hesitantly offered the boy a high-five, which Iida happily returned.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDCeVYhKnp
Ida "Thank you, Midoriya. I'm quite eager to see how you'll do."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH7mWgdFVe
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvDt0yI20c
Ida: ‘She really is something.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m6ST3fZZ3
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw5iT5g63s
Kaminari: 6.26 seconds
Tokoyami: 6.60 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekzhAbByn
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bo7HBt2oL
The little phoenix thought about teleporting but decided against it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9zziFH0u5
Izuku: ‘That would be unfair and not a true test of my speed.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQSJjAiGQl
So instead, Izuku floated up and prepared for takeoff.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs30AMCOkZL
Needless to say, the flyer won.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EbYeiBpVx
Izuku: 3.10 seconds
Kirishima: 4.30 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ar7K2HLHf
Bakugo: ‘He beat me, again!’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZIt93k5NH
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEe93Dp8L1
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFwzlFhnMv
Sero: 4.52 seconds
Shoji: 5.67 seconds
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nu3rUpnDa
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3vV0KLXBr
Something Momo could have done as well but decided to do it the proper way. To prove she could do it without the recommendation.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS3kKYj4s8
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QSkIs1Rnm
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qf9Huf7wa
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQwckbc4ke
Using her current momentum, she unveiled the two tubes from before. It turns out they were rocket boosters! The result?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAYX6mrkgm
She left a trail of smoke behind her and sped far past the finish line before the fuel ran out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlWdeKceOH
Jiro: “Crazy.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEZfCautpi
Mina: “Amazing!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTkCL9tj6N
When Momo came back, she had a bit of a sheepish look on her face.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd6qyupevM
Momo: “Sorry everyone. I used a bit too much.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u84z1POR2
Aizawa: “Perhaps, but you also took first place.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6W9741iyM
Shoto: 2.39 seconds
Uraraka: 5.80 seconds
Momo: 2.22 seconds

Momo smiled proudly while Iida clenched a trembling fist before him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCTzRmTgT3
Iida "Second in my own event. How shameful!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCwMXZNGYn
Izuku: “Way to go, Yaoyorozu-san!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpMFZDDFvl
Kiri: “Nh.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9g52grzh6
Momo: “Thank you. I didn’t actually expect to get first place, though.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K983XtZPF
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMVXkzPnBm
Izuku: "Yaoyorozu-san. May I ask about your quirk? I have to say again, you were amazing back there!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZko9wbhB
She smiled brightly at him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoju8JMZmb
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSsbv3cVJs
Izuku: "Holy! You must be a genius, Yaoyorozu-san! That must have been a difficult compound to memorize!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUyMeCsp3D
She grew slightly pink at the acknowledgment of her immense efforts.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3genhlqsG
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H2r1Qrmov
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?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGxfidyTrd
Momo blinked, putting a finger to her lip and biting it lightly. She didn't even notice Izuku turn pink at the cute action.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76d4GQILl1
Momo: "You know, I've never actually tried. I will do so promptly! Thank you for the idea, Midoriya-san."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKae78FhuF
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aOb1QcFae
Kiri began tugging on Izuku’s shirt while staring at him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l14b6IxAc
Izuku: “Huh? What is it, Kiri?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67EXfk9jWG
Momo noticed right away and giggled.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXpQESf5iV
Momo: “I think your girlfriend might be a bit jealous. Forgive me, Kiri, if I overstepped.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWGzSTUmaX
Izuku: “W-W-Wait, Kiri isn’t my girlfriend; she’s-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC4tKp86pw
Kiri: “I’m not?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQxohu5r0
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlYeA9aFWc
Kaminari: “Dude, not cool.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbbKJ1SQNL
Kirishima: “Not manly at all.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzLiv9P1ob
Momo: “You shouldn’t play with a girl’s feelings, Midoriya-san.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwpyy5EzfP
And just like that, Momo’s smile turned upside down.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdZkFTt6b9
Izuku: “N-No wait… I… she… we… never mind.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWRLR1HhVE
Deciding not to dig the hole any deeper, he kept his mouth shut.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa74qnMjpra
Izuku: ‘I have to clear this misunderstanding up and soon.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEB2Xgf5xC
But that soon won’t be now, since the next tests are about to begin.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRCQKQS0Qi
Grip tests.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVjMBm1JwO
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XiafNyII4
Once she did, it took her a few seconds at best and worked perfectly.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIhQIZmRUy
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdBLSuBnca
Kaminari: “Dude, for your sake, I wouldn’t make that girl mad or jealous.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbXJ1CLG8T
Izuku could only slap his forehead at the misunderstanding.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbnC6eOjFc
The next test was a fun one: the standing long jump.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR75Qo0b5y
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhperjDLKQ
Momo tried to cheer her up, but it was looking bleak. The threat of expulsion was hanging heavy on everyone, but mostly her.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKUpccytD8
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiKYOX0BcV
The standout this time was Uraraka, who got infinity due to her quirk, Zero Gravity.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzafMM96E71
Kaminari: "She got infinity! How can anyone else get first place now? She automatically wins everything with a score like that, right?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvZA2E41sk
Aizawa: "No. When calculations are done, I'll just give her a meter more than Yaoyorozu."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qSs4RIfVH
Yeah, Momo shot her ball out of a cannon. If not for Uraraka, she would have topped the charts, again.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfApQu4Hz8
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kZKPbBdk0
The rest of the tests only confirmed what they already had established: the pecking order.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqHuDG1fa8
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCcFLiY3U0
Aizawa clicked a button on his device, and a holographic screen popped up.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubxKYH1YFk
The top 5 were obvious.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtoieWS9t4
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Kiri Tae
3. Izuku Midoriya
4. Shoto Todoroki
5. Katsuki Bakugo
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB3wND4Anz
Bakugo: 'Fifth? FUCKING, FIFTH?! Forget first place; I didn't even get second?! FUCKING, DEKU, BEAT ME!?'
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M1UZl4NN9
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0IyYaDBPo
The rest of the results spoke for themselves.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEv77qW8cy
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
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi2Vjoy2Os
Yep, dead last.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1O2lYbqQg
Jiro: “No… ”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzCR1HoaIO
Momo: “Kyoka… ”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbeLjNBGuc
Aizawa: “Oh, by the way, I was lying about expelling someone."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdWvgiPjqH
…
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkdfejzBr
…
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCJhYqzqUx
HUH!!?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfxqIHvBAh
Everyone was floored by the admission.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ylAT61IVO
Aizawa: “It was just a rational deception to get you to perform your best!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIE3OGqMgD
"WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb0twZPnWe
Jiro: "Yes!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3aPTQdrM
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KGwRgwa1b
Momo: ‘Thank goodness I was right.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH49iXeZgdJ
But not everyone was celebrating; no, one person saw through the teacher.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXTR4Cv1uT
Kiri: “Lair.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUxjh81oBM
Silence, a cold silence overtook the area.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlWY8rEvPw
Aizawa: “Come again?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qf57Amgwt
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… ”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf28s5UKDx
Her usually blank expression hardened for a split second, but it was enough to make Aizawa’s hair stand on end.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgKXX87OdK
Kiri: “Don’t. Coddle. Us. We deserve the truth.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1uaU74aZk
Izuku: “Kiri, what are you-”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mdKc7MwY9
Aizawa: “Haha, fine. Have it your way.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa4sgfEP5L
He opened his eyes and rooted Jiro to the ground, paralyzed with fear.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS85hP7eFx
Jiro: “Ugh.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCEwJHGQD2
Momo: “Kyoka!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lHuhYlCKQ
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXii7abDRx
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMJJCgyI6B
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLo8qKmHfT
The entire class was shivering under his words, which doubled when he addressed them all.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMB0A74p8C
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Q3sXHxa6
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEH0JNuyKt
He turned back to Jiro.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAbkJldSXn
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mLw4kCzTR
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?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfQLhdSD9X
Jiro: “I… understand.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3TpKUYS5R
Aizawa didn’t respond and instead turned back to everyone else.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTDiVpIVYm
Aizawa: “Any questions?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4k1GEyDIW
“N-no sensei!”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaNT2LNpzz
The droning from his students sounded at him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpRmwDdOQa
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQI8gA3nHP
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uphmlzo07
Momo: “Kyoka, are you alright?”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VpN3DqzTr
Jiro: “Y-Yeah, just… give me a second to collect myself.”
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHVQZ1CCLz
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7NPr0eYuQ
Izuku knew Kiri was right to do what she did. She, more than almost anyone, knows how dangerous the hero world can be.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXXYX1PDqN
Izuku: ‘Still… I can’t help but feel sorry for Jiro. I can only hope this spurs her on to improve even more.’
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUqKNUWYCz
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.
