Chapter 4: Let's Get Physical

April… Midoriya Household

"Izuku, do you have your subway pass?" Inko Midoriya asked her son, with some concern in her voice. "Of course, I do." Izuku said as he was finishing putting on his new school uniform, all that was left was putting his beloved red boots. "And your handkerchief? What about your handkerchief? What about your hanky?" Izuku couldn't help but roll his eyes and smile. "Yes, mom I have it! I'm going to be late! I have to hurry!"

It was the first day that Izuku would start his freshmen year at U.A. High. He had been waiting enthusiastically for this day for over a month now. Getting into this school had been Izuku's wish for as long as he could remember. It was the first step in his journey into becoming a pro hero. He understood that the path to becoming the next Symbol of Peace was going to be treacherous, however he knew that U.A. would help mold into the hero he always wanted to be. Plus, he would have the guidance of All Might to help him along his path.

After he finished tying his shoes, Izuku stood up and put on his book bag and opened the front door. "Izuku!" Izuku then turned around to face his mother. "What?" He then saw that she had tears in her eyes. However, they weren't tears of sadness, they were tears of joy. "I just want to let you know that I'm so proud of you." Izuku felt like he was on the verge of crying himself after hearing that statement. "Thanks mom, that means so much to me. I'll see you later." He said as he closed the door behind him. "Don't forget to call me if something happens!" Inko said as her son left.

Café Nascita

As Sento looked at himself in the mirror, he had to admit, wearing the U.A. uniform somehow felt right. He grabbed his bookbag, gave his All Might figure the usual fist bump, and he started to make his way out of the apartment. As he was leaving, he noticed that his 'sister' was sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast…which was unusual. "You're up way earlier than you usually are." Sento said as he grabbed a piece of toast. "Well, I wasn't going to miss this for the world, now was I? My brother, now attending U.A." Misora said with a hint of excitement in her voice. "I just wanted to say, when you get there, kick some ass!" She said as she gave him a thumbs up. He gave her one as he made his way out the door. Misora waited a couple of seconds, just to make sure was Sento truly gone. Then, a devious smile developed on her face. "Plus, I wasn't going to miss this golden opportunity to embarrass you." Then, she went to her bedroom to get everything set up for Operation: Humiliate Sento On His First Day Of School.

Sento took a quick stop to the café to see Owner before he left. As he entered, he saw that Sawa was also in the café. "Look at you in your uniform! You look so handsome!" Sawa said in a very cheerful tone of voice. After hearing that comment, Sento felt his blush a little. "Th-Thanks. Wait, why are you here so earlier?" Hearing that remark, Sawa was a little taken aback. "Because I just had to see one of my favorite people take the first step on the road to becoming a great hero! And to see if you would be willing to give me exclusive details on how U.A. treats their students on daily basis. I'm sure that would help get me a promotion." Now it was Sento's turn to be speechless. Was she just using him to get exclusives for her papers? I that how she sees him, as a means? Luckily, that tension was relieved as she started to giggle. "Relax, I'm just joking about the exclusive…for now."

"I guess the saying is true. The man does make the uniform." Soichi said enthusiastically. "Now then, you got everything?" Sento held up his backpack, hoping that Owner would understand that means he had everything in his bag. Then Owner held up a small piece of paper, raising an eyebrow. "Including your subway pass?" Sento suddenly had a smile on his face. "Don't need it. And it's all thanks to this!" He then pulled out the Lion fullbottle and a rather bulky looking smartphone. "What are you going to do, call in sick on your first day?" Owner asked. "Exactly." Sento held the phone up to his ear. "Hello? No. This, my dear father figure, is my ride. Behold!" Sento then put the Lion fullbottle into a slot in the phone. The phone started to shift in size, eventually turning into a motorcycle with a giant size fullbottle sticking out. Soichi and Sawa stood in complete silence at the feat of mechanical wizardry that the young boy was able to come up with.

Sento then pressed a button on the heads-up display on the bike. All of sudden, a helmet manifested from the display. Sento put on the helmet, get on the bike, and started to rev up the engine. Before he could do anything else, Soichi suddenly interjected. "Hold up! I have a few reservations about this. Now, you can you this bike, however only in the mornings. When you're done with school, you take the subway. Is that clear?" Sento then started to question Soichi. "Why?" Soichi was quick to answer. "Well, you should now that it's safer in the early mornings. Plus, I care about your safety. Do we have a deal?" Sento then let out an exasperated sigh. "Ugh…Fine. Now, if we keep up this conversation, I'm going to be late." He then revved up the engine one more time. "Now then, Let's-" He then felt a hand on his shoulder. "Not go anywhere. You're still in the café." Owner quickly explained. Sento then turned his head and saw that Owner was right. "Damn, I'm an idiot." He muttered.

Gates of U.A. High

Banjo checked his phone maybe around 7 times in the past 5 minutes. He was sure that Sento would have been here, maybe 30 minutes before him. However, he was wrong, and he was the first of the two to be there. Usually Sento was the first one to be there whenever the two would head out. Now he was starting to get a little worried. He then started to have some disturbing thoughts. 'What if those gas mask bastards got to him? Maybe I should tell someone, but who exactly wou-' His thoughts were cut off as kid around his age pulled up on a weird looking motorcycle pulled up right next to him. After catching a glimpse of the fullbottle sticking out the back, Banjo instantly knew who the rider was.

"I was starting to get worried about you, you nerd!" Banjo said to Sento as his friend was taking off his helmet. "Sorry to make you worry. Owner had some concerns about me this bad boy out for the first time. Like it?" Sento said as he patted the back of the bike. The sight of the student's ride caused some of the other students to turn their heads at the two friends. However, Sento just kept on talking about his new invention. "I call it, the Machine Builder. 140 horsepower, top speed of 271 kilometers per hour, and built in under a month. I would say this is one my greatest creation!" Banjo, even though he was a little bit impressed, had other concerns at hand. "Yeah it's cool. Now come on, I wanna see who our classmates are."

Sento then got off the bike, pressed a button, then the bike shrunk down in size into a smartphone. Banjo was shocked by the sight, but honestly, he should be used to the stuff that the nerd was able to come up with. "Yeah, you're right, it would probably good to…Oh no." He said while looking at his phone, all while having a face that looked like he just got told the worst possible situation had just happened. "She's streaming." That sentence made Banjos' blood run cold. "What do mean 'She's streaming'?! She never streams this early! What are you waiting for, open it!" So, he did as he told, and the two boys would immediately regret that decision.

As they opened the stream, they saw Misora dressed in the attire of her well-known alter ego. "Hi! It's your favorite idol, Miitan! Now, I know what you all are thinking. 'Miitan, why are up so early?' Well, the reason is simple dummies. Someone that I know personally is starting their first day of Hero School with his best friend! So, I just wanted to wish them luck as they begin their journey to herodom! So, if the two of you are watching, good luck Sento and Banjo!" The two quickly shut off the stream and hung their heads in shame.

"This is the worst." Sento muttered to himself. "Who knows? Maybe none of our classmates watch her." Banjo said in order to try to lift up their spirits. However, both of them knew that he was lying to himself. 'Miitan' is one of the most popular idols in Japan, second only to that vigilante Pop Step. Knowing that, there was a good chance that some of their classmates did in fact watch her. "L-Let's just get to the classroom." Sento said in a downtrodden voice.

As they entered the lobby, they spotted a map of the many floors of the facility. Sento looked over the map in great detail. "Let's see…Support…Third Years…General Educati-there! Hero Course! Class 1-A!" He exclaimed to his friend. Luckily, they still had a little bit of time before classes were to start. As they started to make their way down the hall, they noticed a spiky red-haired kid talking to himself as he looked at his phone. "Stairs or elevator? The stairs take me right to the classroom, so I better take that route." As they got closer to the boy, Sento had a look of realization on his face. "Sharpy?"

The boy turned to face them. He then pointed to Sento. "Wait…You're that costumed guy, right?" Sento then got a look of excitement on his face. "Yeah!" The kid had a big grin on his face as he went up and proceeded to shake Sentos' hand. "No way! You should have heard the others on my bus, you were pretty much the only thing they talked about. Seems like you made a big impression on them. Name's Eijiro Kirishima! What's yours?"

"Name's Sento Kiryu. And this right here is Ryuga Banjo." As this was all going down, Banjo had a look of confusion on his face. "Wait, how do you two know each other?" Kirishima then got an even bigger grin. "Well, during the exam there was this One-pointer heading straight for me, and I was too preoccupied to notice it. Then, this guy right here decided to be awesome and he helped me to tear that thing to shreds! It was so manly! So, you guys in the Hero Course too?" Sento then grinned as well. "Yup, we were just heading there ourselves. Class 1-A."

"Same! I'll let you two lead the way!" As the trio walked to the classroom, Banjo suddenly scoffed. "If you're talking about manly, then I am the definition of manly! You just so happen to be looking at the guy with a 21-9 boxing record! If that's not manly, then I don't know what is." After that explanation, Kirishimas' grin just got bigger. "Yeah, that's manly alright! Well that proves it, you guys just radiate manly energy! Consider me, your new friend!" As they got to the giant door of Class 1-A, Sento was suddenly shoved out of the way. "Move extras!" As they looked to the culprit, Sento and Banjo realized that it was that blond-haired kid that shoulder checked Sento on the day of the exam.

"Extras?" Banjo asked, earning Blondie's attention. "Yeah, I'm going to be Number One around here. The top dog, like All Might. And you two are just stepping stones on that path. So, if you two pop star rejects don't want to die or anything like that, don't get in my way." As he entered the classroom, the two of them just stood there dumbfounded. "Die? / Pop star rejects?" They both asked at the same time. They then just looked at each other, and at the exact same time they both muttered, "Dick." Kirishima offered a slight smile and a shrug. "Maybe he's just anxious?" The three of them then entered the class.

The duo then began to take in the sight of their classmates. There was a set of floating clothes talking to a blond guy with a very thick tail. A boy with the head of a crow just sat in his seat with his eyes closed. There was a blonde kid with a black streak in his hair talking to a rather plain looking guy, with black hair and weird looking elbows, and a girl with rather long earlobes. There were also some bigger guys, one had six arms, another had a very rocky head, and another had very big lips. There was also a boy with purple growths coming out of his head watching something on his phone.

"Yo! Kirishima! You made it! Thought you got lost for a minute there." A female voice suddenly said. The trio of students looked as a girl with pink skin made their way towards them. Kirishima unexpectedly blanched up. "T-Thanks Ashido." Gone was the confident seeming boy and in his place was a nervous kid. Sento then leaned over to Banjo. "Is this how I am with girls?" Sento whispered. "No. You're way more of a nervous wreck." He responded to his friend.

"What training ground were you in?" Kirishima asked the pinkette. "I was in Training Ground D. But I was able to get enough points to pass!" She then turned to the duo. "Made a couple of new friends, huh? Well, any friends of Kirishima is a friend of mine. I'm Mina Ashido! Nice to meet ya!" She said with a huge grin on face and holding out her hand. Banjo was the only to shake, as Mina's enthusiasm got to Sento as he was starting to blush. "Name's Ryuga Banjo, and this is Sento Kiryu. Don't expect an answer out of him. He gets really nervous around girls." Sento suddenly started to stammer. "I-It's n-nice to m-meet y-you, A-Ashido."

"Just call me Mina! Glad to meet you two!" Mina then suddenly had an expression of realization on her face as she looked at Sento. "Now I know where I've seen you before. You were at the gate at the exam. It's nice to know that we have such a cutie in our class." After hearing that statement, Sento started to blush even harder. This was the first time a girl his age actually flirted with him. Banjo just stared at Sento speechless. He was a stammering mess, and somehow, he got the attention of a girl, in just 30 seconds no less. Mina then began to laugh. "I'm joking, I'm joking...Unless?" At this point, Sento was begging for some kind of miracle to interrupt this conversation.

"Gah! It's you!" Said a voice. Sento and Banjo turned their heads towards the source of the voice and saw a tall boy with glasses. "Oh, thank god." Sento muttered under his breath. The student with glass walked towards the duo, and then bowed deeply. Kirishima and Mina were talking but had their eyes on the scene playing out in front of them. Banjo was taken aback by what was happening. "What the hell is going on?"

"Let me be the first to say…I apologize for my behavior towards you and that green-haired boy during the Orientation. I…I clearly misjudged the two of you. You clearly saw some deeper meaning during the Practical Exam, as you went about helping others with their scores as well as saving those less skilled or fortunate. That was the true of what makes a hero! I…on the other hand, did not realize that until the exam was finished. If they had told us of the Rescue Points System, it would have made the act of saving others feel disingenuous. As much as I hate to admit it, but you are truly a superior student than me! U.A. is more than honored to have you!"

Sento and Banjo were just silent after hearing the student confession of ignorance. Sento then let out a small cough. "I…ummm…thanks. Apology accepted. I…apologize for both my and the other students' misconduct as well. Sometimes, nerves can get the better of us, you know. I'm just sorry that we got off on the wrong foot. My name is Sento Kiryu, and this is Ryuga Banjo." He then offered his hand for a handshake. The boy with glasses relaxed himself and accepted his handshake. "And I am Tenya Iida. It is a pleasure to meet the two of you and have you as a fellow peer here at U.A. Academy."

"Can all y'all shaddup! I'm trying to relax before the teacher gets here." The blond jerk growled out, looking lazily at the trio of students. Iida saw that he had his feet on his desk and puffed out his chest in virtuous outrage. "Get your foot off your desk right now!" Iida then marched over to the young delinquent. Sento and Banjo took this as an opportunity to finally get to their desk. While Banjo's desk was in front of Mina's, Sento's desk was right behind the kid with purple growths out of his head…and that kid was currently watching Miitans' stream. Sento internally sighed, he hoped that the kid wouldn't make a scene due to him knowing 'Miitan". Luckily, it seemed like he was too engrossed with the stream that he paid no mind to him. She then said something that got the kid riled up. "Thank you so much for the donation GrapefulBoy! As of right now, you're in second place for biggest donation, right behind RoboticGrease!" The kid then started to twitch in anger. "That was the last of my allowance! Who the hell does 'RoboticGrease' think he is? If I ever met him, then I'll show him my wrath! Then Miitan will know who her true love is!" After hearing that statement, Sento was creeped out to say the least. He was about to sit down, when he saw a familiar green-haired boy walk in.

Izuku didn't know what he expected when he walked into the classroom. But if he guessed it probably wasn't what was happening right in front of him. "Get your foot off your desk right now!" That tall boy with glasses was currently scolding Kaachan, who had his feet up on his desk. He raised an eyebrow, "Tell me, why should I?" Tall boy pointed at Kaachans' feet. "You are blatantly disrespecting school property by doing that you hooligan!" Kaachan only scoffed at the boys' explanation. "Why should I give a damn about the opinion of an extra like you? Where you from?" Glasses did a double take. "I am Tenya Iida from Somei Private High, why does that matter in this conversation?" Kaachan smirked, sneering up at the boy. "Somei huh? You must think that you're so much better than me! Well then, I'm gonna have fun blowing ya to bits and knocking ya down a peg, elite!"

While the two of them were trading arguing with each other, Izuku looked to his future classmates to see who he would know for the next couple of years. Towards the back, he saw Sento Kiryu was just about to take his seat. It seems that Sento saw him enter the classroom because he started to make his way towards him. "There you are, I was really worried about you after that stunt you pulled on the Practical!" Sento gave Izuku a congratulatory pat on the shoulder, although he wanted to, he couldn't do much to answer him as an auburn-haired boy suddenly butted into the conversation. "Seriously? Sento, how the hell do you know so many people?"

Sento only shrugged his shoulders in response. "A lot happened during the Practical." The auburn-haired then looked Izuku up and down with quite a threating look. The look gave Izuku flashback to all the 'good times' with Kaachan. He then broke that look, and instead replaced it with a huge grin. "Well, you look like a good kid. Any friend of his is a friend of mine. Name's Ryuga Banjo. Nice to meet ya!" Banjo said as he pumped his fist up in the air. Then Sento had a sudden realization. "I guess we never properly got to introduce ourselves. So, let's fix that. Sento Kiryu." He then held out his hand. Izuku was a little hesitant, but eventually he shook his hand. "My name is Izuku Midoriya. It's a pleasure to meet you."

All of sudden Tenya marched towards the trio. "Greetings! I am Tenya Iida from Somei Priva-" Izuku abruptly cut him off. "I already heard you!" Sento and Banjo chuckled to themselves as Tenya tried to compose himself. "Midoriya, allow me to be the first to apologize to you." Sento scratched the back of his head nervously. "Um…Is this about the 'how I misjudged you and your actions' thing? If so, it's cool you don't need to. I mean, you already-" He was abruptly cut off by Tenya. "I only apologized to you! I need to compensate for my actions against the both of you!"

Tenya then deeply bowed forward. 'What the heck is even going on?' Izuku thought to himself. "Midoriya," Tenya began to explain with a serious look on his face. "I clearly misjudged the two of you. When I first heard the two of you muttering, I thought that you were trying to disrupt the other students. However, I now see that your mumbling was simply a sign of your extraordinary observational skills. You clearly saw some deeper meaning during the Practical Exam, as you went about helping others with their scores as well as saving those less skilled or fortunate. That was the true of what makes a hero! I…on the other hand, did not realize that until the exam was finished. If they had told us of the Rescue Points System, it would have made the act of saving others feel disingenuous. As much as I hate to admit it, but you are truly a superior student than me! U.A. is more than honored to have you!"

Izuku did not how to react to this, it was the first time someone had said that he was lesser than him. Sento then leaned over to whisper in Izukus' ear. "It's okay. He said almost the exact same to me, just follow my lead." Sento bowed forward just like Tenya. "We graciously accept your apology." Izuku copied Sento and bowed forward as well. Tenya then got a look of satisfaction. "Well, I am glad that we got that resolved."

"Oh, I know that curly hair! The plain looking boy!" A new feminine voice suddenly said. Izuku jolted upright while Sento just smiled. He turned to face the source of the voice and he felt his face heat up significantly. It was that nice brown-haired girl, Ochaco Uraraka. 'W-Wow, she looks really cute in that uniform!' Izuku thought to himself. "Uraraka! I'm glad you made. And we're in the same class as well! What are the odds?" Sento said, all while giving a thumbs up. Ochaco was about say something, but she was suddenly cut off as Banjo grabbed Sento by the shoulders. "Seriou…You know what? I'm not even going ask anymore."

"Um…It's good to see you too Kiryu. I'm glad you made it as well." Sento then started to scratch the back of his head. "Just call me Sento. I really don't like the whole formality thing." Izuku could only wonder how Sento was able to handle himself while talking to a girl. "Oh, don't be so modest, you were great with all of kicks and jumps and stuff! Almost as cool as Midoriya's awesome punch!" Ochaco gave off a mock punch to accentuate her point. "Yeah. It was pretty amazing." Sento said while turning with an approving smile.

"I-I g-guess I should be thanking you two for trying to g-give me points." Izuku managed to mutter out his praises. Both teens perked up. "Huh, how did you find out about that?" Ochaco asked as she tilted her head. Izuku suddenly panicked. 'I guess they didn't know they were being recorded. Oh gosh, I probably wasn't supposed to say that!' He thought to himself. "Did All Might tell you about it? Over the holographic projector?" Sento questioned the green-haired youth. Izuku started to sweat, how could he know about that.

"I believe Kiryu is correct. When our acceptance letters came, they explained our placement as well as our total points. I got Cementoss congratulating me, so you two receiving praise from Al Might while being accepted…truly U.A. is honored to have you in its halls." Tenya explained while he crossed his arms. "Um…You already said that. For a third time." Banjo muttered just audibly enough so that way Sento and Izuku only heard him. Ochaco had a surprised look on her face. "Oh yeah! Sorry about that, I guess I was so excited that I completely forgot about it. Made my parents real proud about coming in fifth, what about you guys?" Tenya straightened his glasses. "I managed to secure the eighth place. Banjo, where did you place?" After hearing question, Banjo got really excited. "You just so happen to be looking at the holder of third place, baby!" He said while pumping his fists up and down.

Then a loud scoff came from Bakugo. "Just what I expected from a bunch of extras like you. I just so happened to get second place. But mark my words, if I ever come across that son of a bitch that got first, they'll regret the fact that they were born." Hearing that statement, Sento began to sweat profusely. Ochaco suddenly spoke up. "Um…Sento, what's wrong?" Sento swallowed something in his throat muttered something. "I didn't hear you. What did you say?" Tenya said, with a hint of concern in his voice. Sento took a deep breath and calmed himself. "I got first."

The whole classroom became so quiet, that it was possible to hear a pin drop. Ochaco's jaw dropped. Tenya eyes were similar to plates. However, that was nothing compared to the reactions of the other classmates. Sento could feel the eyes staring at him. Some were curious, like the sparkling blond boy in front. Some were analyzing, like that red-white haired boy in the back. Others were in astonishment, like the blonde kid talking to the earlobe girl. One was filled with pure rage, and that mainly belonged to Bakugo.

However, the one that made Sento feel weak belonged to the drop-dead gorgeous girl that he saw go in the recommendation room during the exam. Her eyes were narrow, he recognized that she was probably doing a thousand calculations at the same time. He had experience in that department…and he just now noticed that she was sitting right behind him. He felt his face start to heat up a little bit. She looked him up and down, before landing at his shoes. He couldn't help but follow her gaze, and he got really confused. He was wearing his signature high-tops, why was she so confused about them? Then he realized it was probably because the one on his left foot was red, and the one on his right foot was blue. He looked back up to her, she must have realized that the boy noticed her staring, as she quickly looked away.

"If you're going to waste time talking about points then you should leave." A very tired voice came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to the source. It was a scruffy, tired-looking long-shaggy black-haired man in a yellow full body sleeping bag. Ochaco jumped back in fright, seeking protection behind Izuku. Banjo jumped into Sento's arms. The man stared at all of them, nonchalantly before searching for something in his bag. "Welcome to U.A.'s Hero Course…" The muttered drowsily, as he brought his hand out holding a full bag of squeezable applesauce. One suck drained the entire thing, slurping it loudly and not giving a single fuck.

"It took you all eight seconds to quiet down," The weary man said as he crawled out of the bag. "Time is precious. You lot could do me and be rational about it. If you do so, I'd appreciate it." The students standing took this as a sign to get to their seats. Sento, realizing that Banjo was currently in his arms, let him go causing him to fall straight to the ground. After Banjo muttered out some choice words, he made his way towards his seat. As Sento sat down, he could still feel like someone was still staring at him. He looked over his shoulder and saw that red-white haired kid glaring at him. His burn scar gave him a malicious look. Sento gave the kid a wave, thinking that maybe he was just nervous. However, the kid just continued to stare at him, narrowing his eyes showing that he wasn't here to make friends. Sento quickly gave up and just returned his attention to the teacher.

"Hello, I'm Shota Aizawa, your teacher. Nice to meet you all." Aizawa then reached into his bag and pulled out a bunch of blue gym uniforms with white-trim. "Right, put these on as quick as you can and head outside." Sento then raised his hand. "W-Where to?" He asked. Aizawa set his tired eyes upon the boy. "The Training Grounds." The class fell quiet for a few seconds, before the homeroom teacher started to get annoyed. "What are you doing? Do heroes stand around when they've received an order? Get to it." The students replied with a quick nod, but there was some hesitation. Some of the students were nervous as to why exactly the teacher wanted them to head to the training grounds.

(X)

"A Quirk Apprehension Test?!" The students all said at once. Aizawa was annoyed but was able to keep his composure. Ochaco came up to him. "What about orientation? We're gonna miss it!" Aizawa let out an exasperated sigh. "If you want to become heroes, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies. Besides, U.A. is known for its freestyle educational system. That applies not only to you, but us teachers as well. So that means I can run my class as I see fit." The whole group of youths just looked confused.

"Alright. Ball Throw. Standing Long Jump. Fifty Meter Dash. Endurance Training. Grip Strength. Side to Side stepping. Upper body training. And Seated Toe Touch. You did all of these in middle school during your Standard Non-Quirk Gym Tests." Aizawa took a deep breath. It was time for him to vent his frustration. "Japan insists on prohibiting Quirks when calculating the averages of those records as to give those with less power more of a chance. If you ask me, the Department of Education is just lazy and is wasting the time of those who clearly should be ahead of the pack." He turned eyes to the seething blond berserker.

"Bakugo. How far could you throw in middle school without using your Quirk?" Bakugo then stepped forward. "Sixty-seven meters, give or take." The student said determinedly. Aizawa reached into the bucket beside him and tossed him a U.A. approved softball. "Now try it with your Quirk. Anything goes. Just don't leave the circle. Give it all you." Aizawa stepped backwards and grabbed the work phone that tracked all the students results.

Bakugo stretched his limbs and walked into the circle. He got into position and wound up his arm…and a giant explosion left his hand. "DIE!" The blond berserker shouted at the top of his lungs. Aizawa could hear the confusion from the rest of the class. The ball landed quite a distance away, and Aizawa looked down at the result. "Knowing the limits of your abilities is important." He showed the results of the throw. 705.2 meters. "That's the first rational step to figuring out what kind of heroes you'll end up being." Most of the class was in awe at what they just saw, giving praise to the blond who just seemed to smirk. Then Aizawa then heard some of the students say that the Hero Course was fun and awesome. That just caused him to let out some of his anger.

"Awesome, you say? You're hoping to become heroes, and you think it's gonna be all fun and games?" That caused the crowd to shut up. The teacher then put on his most intimidating smirk. "Idiots…We will be taking eight physical tests. The one with the lowest score across all eight events will be deemed hopeless, without any protentional…and will be expelled on the spot."

"Whaaaat?!" A lot of the students' egos were suddenly deflated, and Aizawa couldn't help containing his grin as he lifted up his hair, showing the focus in his eyes and that he wasn't joking around. 'Time to put some fear into these kids and them the kick in the ass they really need!' Aizawa thought to himself. "Your fate is in your hands. Now show me what you got!"

While all the other students were trying to handle the news in their own, unique ways, Sento was doing about a million calculations in his head. With all the information he knew about U.A.'s rate of acceptance, something wasn't adding up to him. That's when it dawned on him. "No one's expelled…" He muttered to himself. However, it seems that his muttering wasn't as quiet as he originally thought it was. "You figured it out as well, huh?" A feminine voice whispered to him. Sento turned toward the source of the voice and saw the girl that sits behind him. Once again, his face started to heat up a little bit.

'Did she over hear that? Quick, play dumb!' Sento thought to himself. "I…don't…know what your talking…about?" Sento said, as he shrugged his shoulders. Yet, it seems like the girl wasn't falling for his obvious lie, so he let out a deep sigh. That's when what she said finally hit him. "Wait…As well? That means that…You know?" She then explained. "It's obvious that our teacher wants us to bring out our very best. So how exactly does he bring that out of us?" Sento thought about for a second, then he snapped his fingers. "By threating us with expulsion!" He quietly said. The girl then raised an eyebrow. "If you didn't figure it out by that logic, then how did you come to that conclusion?"

"Oh…Well, from what I know about the rate of acceptance at U.A., there should only be 20 students per Hero Class. So, with that in mind, why exactly would our class have 22? I have a theory that our beloved teacher may be slacking performance wise, hence the 2 extra students." Sento quickly explained. The girl then gave a little smile. "Impressive reasoning. It's nice to know that know there's another with some intellect among us. Momo Yaoyorozu. A pleasure to meet you, Kiryu." She offered him her hand, which he quickly took it. "The same for me." Sento replied. On the surface, Sento appeared calm and collected. However, he was internally screaming. He was talking to the most beautiful girl in the class and-

"Alright people, enough standing around! It's time to begin!" Aizawa said to the hopeful heroes. The class began to make their way to the training grounds. Sento took a deep breath. Even though no one was going home, he just hoped to prove that he belongs there with them.

The First Test: Fifty Meter Dash.

Tenya had done really well. Which wasn't really a surprise given his Quirk, Engine. 3.04 seconds was the current record to beat. Tsuyu Asui cleared it in 5.58 seconds. Considering who her competitor was, she had done well. Ochaco used her Quirk in a creative way by using it to affect her clothes. However, she cleared in the course in the longest amount of time by far. 7.15 seconds, while her opponent, Mashirao Ojiro, had got a 6.91. Definite room for improvement.

Yuga Aoyama, it was clear that he was in love with himself. However, he used his Navel Laser well enough during the dash earning 5.51 seconds. Mina was able to beat him with her score of 5.40 seconds. He then stated that the reason why he fell behind was because if he used his Quirk too much, then his stomach starts to hurt.

Next up was Banjo and Yaoyorozu. As they got to the starting line, Banjo had tried to get into the girl's head. "You know, I saw the way you were looking at my boy. Interested in him? Cause if so, I could hook up two up." However, his attempts seemed to have failed as she remained composed. He then got down onto his hands, feet propped. He then heard a loud thumping noise and beside him, he saw…a moped? And Yaoyorozu got on it! "Okay, where the hell did you get that?!" Banjo hollered.

"Runner's on your marks!" The robot shouted. "Ready!" The gun fired. Banjo sprinted as hard as he could, but it didn't get him very far as Yaoyorozu sped past him. The robot chimed. "4.12 seconds." As Banjo crossed the line, the robot chimed again. "5.05 seconds." As he tried to catch his breath, Yaoyorozu walked past him and simply stated, "Your psychological manipulation could use some work."

Midoriya and Bakugo were the next pair of students up. As soon as the gun was fired, Bakugo quickly raced down the lane. "Turbo!" He shouted, the blasts from his hands propelled him to earn a 4.13. Midoriya trailed behind him with 7.02 seconds.

The last two were Sento and Todoroki. "Let's do our best, Todoroki." Sento said in a very friendly tone. However, he was only met with silence. Sento shrugged his shoulders. He then pulled out the Rabbit fullbottle and proceeded to shake it. The gun fired, and Todoroki used his ice powers to freeze the ground and skated on it. Yet, Sento was somehow faster. "3.90 seconds. 4.14 seconds." Hearing that, Sento jumped up with glee. "Alright! You did great as well!" Sento said, holding up his hand hoping for a high five…Only to be denied. "Mush people." Aizawa said as the two teens jogged to where the rest of the class was mingling.

Second Test: Grip Strength.

Sento looked down at the hand-held device. The objective was pretty simple: Grip as hard as you can to measure the highest score. He looked around at the other students. Some of them were gathered around Mezo Shoji, who had managed to score 540 kilograms from his gripping. Banjo had scored 605 kilograms, which had improved from last year. Sento scattered around his pockets and found the Gorilla fullbottle. He shook it and squeezed as hard as he could. 740 kilograms! He silently chuckled to himself. He then looked over at Izuku and couldn't help but feel sorry for the kid. He seemed to be trying his hardest, yet he only had 56 kilograms. Sento then smelt the odor of smoke coming from next to him. He looked over and saw that Yaoyorozu had somehow summoned a clamp and was applying pressure until the thing broke.

As Aizawa was entering the scores from each student, he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He turned his head, and peering from the windows high above was Toshinori Yagi, in his All Might form. He noticed and crept back of sight. Now, Aizawa was curious. Was he staring at teacher…or one of the students?

(X)

Third Test: Standing Long Jump.

As Sento shook the Rabbit fullbottle, he took a running start. Then he jumped, soaring over the sandbox. When he landed, he felt a sense of satisfaction. He turned around…and saw that he cleared the sandbox by around 15 meters. Everyone stared at the amazing feat. He joined the few others that managed to clear the sandbox. They included Tenya, Bakugo, Aoyama, Banjo, and Todoroki. Last up was Yaoyorozu. She managed to conjure a javelin and used that to get airborne and cleared the test.

(X)

Fourth Test: Repeated Side Step.

The only one to truly outshine the others was Mineta, he used his Quirk to bounce between the lines. None of the others came even close to his score.

(X)

Fifth Test: Ball Throw.

So far, the best of the best has clearly made themselves known. The top three so far was Yaoyorozu, Sento, and Todoroki. If Todoroki has not been using his fire ability whatsoever, which made Aizawa curious as to what he could accomplish if he does use it. It seems that Aizawa's ruse had been effective, as everyone had been using their Quirks in very creative ways. Many of the students had applied that attitude with the Ball Throw, some going far, others not so much.

The event was going by fast; they were now at Banjo's turn. He took his place in the circle and stretched out his muscles. He tossed the ball up in the air…and proceeded to punch it. It seemed to be an effective strategy, as it went soaring. The results came up on Aizawa's phone. 703.2 meters. The teacher showed the results to Banjo, to which his response was to jump up with excitement. "M.V.P.! M.V.P.!" He just shouted to himself.

Next up was Ochaco Uraraka's turn. She threw the ball and it kept going…and going…and going. Eventually, it went so far that it eventually just left the entire field. 'It seems like there is something of a brain behind that doll face of her's.' Aizawa thought to himself as the results came up. Aizawa showed it to the class. "Infinity!?" The entire class shouted at once. They really shouldn't have been surprised by this. All she did was use her head.

It was Izuku's turn now. Throughout the entire assessment, Izuku's composure had slowly been deflated by the end of every test. However, it was now his time to shine. He calmed himself down, and now he was ready to throw the softball. His arm started to glow like it did during the practical. He threw it…and it plummeted a mere 46 meters. Now Izuku was confused.

"I erased your quirk." Aizawa said as his scarf and hair were waving as if he was underwater. His eyes glowing a bright red. "That stupid Entrance Exam…should be changed if it allowed some like you on these grounds." He growled to the green-haired boy. That was when Izuku noticed the goggles around the teachers' neck. "Wait, those goggles…you're Eraserhead, the Erasure Hero!" The rest of the class had no idea as to what Izuku was talking about.

"I saw it, how you can't control your Quirk. Did you plan to destroy all your bones again? So that way you wouldn't have to take the rest of the test? Whatever the outcome, your Quirk would have made you into a liability. A deadweight to those who you are planning to save and those who you work alongside. Izuku Midoriya, with that power of yours…you cannot become a hero." Aizawa explained to the student.

He then let out a sigh and pocketed his hands, his scarf returning back to normal. He closed his eyes and walked back to his spot. "You got your Quirk back, so give it another go. Let's get this over with." As Izuku looked at the crowd of students, many of them were muttering to themselves, mainly about him. He then landed on one familiar face. As he looked to Sento, he gave him a reassuring smile and nod. At least he had one supporter.

Izuku began to mutter to himself, and he reared his arm. 'I can't let All Might down.' He thought to himself. His arm began to glow once more…then it started to head toward his finger. "SMAAASH!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. The ball soared out of his hand like a cannon, the class was in awe. Aizawa quickly went to his phone to the score. 705.3 meters!

"Mr. Aizawa. I…can still move!" Izuku said as he was grinning. Even if he had tears in his eyes and he gripped his hand. The finger he used was clearly broken. But, Aizawa didn't care as it seem the kid took his words to heart. He may become a hero yet. The class was in awe at what their classmate had accomplished. Well, all except for one.

"What the fuck!?" Bakugo charged, his Quirk blasting him along. "Explain yourself Deku! You lying piece of shit!" Aizawa readied his capture scarf and focused on the blond. He flung it, snatching Bakugo almost immediately…Only for Sento and Banjo to tackle him. They took off right after seeing Bakugo's rage towards Izuku. They held his arms in positions where his explosions couldn't reach them. "What the hell is wrong with you? All he did was throw a damn ball!" Banjo shouted.

"Shut up! You don't know a damn thing about me! Piss off!" Bakugo aimed, but no explosions came out, much to the surprise of the blond. "What the-! My Quirk! This goddamn scarf!" He roared. "That's enough! Kiryu, Banjo, your contribution wasn't needed but appreciated." The two quickly let go of the blond as he struggled with the scarf. "Why the hell is your scarf so damn strong?" Aizawa sighed. "Because it's a capture weapon. It's made of carbon fiber and a rather special alloy that I'm not going to even try to explain to you. Now, stand down! You really don't want to make me use my Quirk; it gives me some serious dry eye. And I'm running low on eye drops." Aizawa said as seriously as he possibly could.

A second pass, and the blond finally stopped with his pointless struggling. Aizawa called back his scarf and deactivated his quirk. "You're wasting time. Kiryu, you're next up." He said as he tossed a soft ball to Sento. He looked at the ball for a second, took a deep breath, and walked towards the circle. As soon he got in, he took out the Tank fullbottle and proceeded to shake it like the last previous tests. However, this time, something different happened.

All of sudden, math equations appeared out of nowhere and started to fly past him. The whole class was stunned by what they were seeing. "I see! This is Kiryu's Quirk! A fitting one for such a smart individual!" Tenya exclaimed aloud. "Nah, that just happens whenever he is fully concentration mode." Banjo quickly explained. "Any reason as to why that happens?" The blond boy, Kaminari, asked. Banjo then shot him an understanding look. "Look man, at this point I just don't ask any more questions when it comes to the guy."

Sento then threw the ball. It blasted out of his hand. Aizawa looked down at his phone, and he wasn't surprised by what he was seeing. 937.3 meters. As everyone looked at the score, they were showering him with praise. "W-wow that's strong." Sero said. "That was awesome." Hagakure chirped. "Well, he got first in the Practical I was in, so it's not really that surprising." Shoji mused with his arm-tentacle mouth. "U.A. really is full of surprises." Tokoyami added.

However, one student was having different thoughts. He saw this kid not as an extra anymore. But as a threat…No, a challenge for him to overcome in order for him to get to the top. A devious smirk formed on Bakugo's face. 'Enjoy your time in the sun while you can. You'll be at the same level at that worthless Deku soon enough.'

(X)

The rest of the test weren't really that noteworthy. Yaoyorozu, Kiryu, and Todoroki kept bringing in the top scores. Bakugo and Tenya were the ones that were constantly right behind them. The class gathered as their teacher had announced that the final results came in. "Remember, last place gets expelled immediately. No ifs, ands, or buts." All of a sudden, a holographic projection came out of the teachers' phone showing the results of the tests.

Izuku Midoriya

Sento looked toward Izuku and saw something that made him feel like the worst person ever. Izuku looked like he just wanted the earth to open up and swallow him whole. 'He deserves to be here.' Sento thought to himself. 'Even if his Quirk is a little out of control, he should be allowed the assistance needed to help him control it.' Then Aizawa had a weird looking smile on his face. "Oh yeah, that part about me expelling one of you? I lied. It was all a logical ruse, meant to bring out the best in all of you."

"Whaaaaaat?!" Tenya, Ochaco, and Izuku in varied shades of paleness and surprise shouted out at once. It made Sento shrink up a little bit. To his side, Yaoyorozu sighed. "What, you took him seriously? It was an obvious lie if you actually thought about it." Sento felt like that was a cue for him to join in the conversation. "Besides, if we hadn't had that threat hanging over us, he wouldn't have seen the best we could do." Sento then felt both of his shoulders being grabbed and then someone was shaking him. "YOU KNEW? OF YOU KNEW! IT'S YOU!" Banjo shouted at the boy.

"Urgency brings out the best in others, showing their true colors." Aizawa explained. "Anyways, we're done here. Your syllabus and documents about the Hero Course are in your classroom. Give'em a look when you can. Oh, Midoriya." The green-haired boy perked up at the mention of his name. "Go to Recovery Girl. Tomorrow's going to be just as hard if not harder. Be at your very best, okay?" Izuku nodded dumbly as he took the note and began to join his other classmates as they started to head inside.

As Aizawa, he couldn't help but think about one particular student. Sento Kiryu. Even though his guardian had explained everything he knew about the boy to him and Nezu, some things weren't adding up. Where did he come from? Who was he before meeting Soichi Isurugi? Something told him he was going to have to find out those answers for himself.

(X)

It was the end of day. Everyone was on their way home. Sento and Banjo were just chatting outside the gate, or rather complaining. "Man, I can't believe you didn't tell me the threat was fake!" Banjo said in an irritable voice. Sento just scratched the back of his head. "Sorry. I was distracted by…something else, and I completely forgot about it." That caused Banjo to raise his eyebrow. "Don't you mean someone? Specifically, Yaoyorozu?" Sento then blanched up.

"I-I don't know what you mean!" He quickly stammered out. Banjo only replied with a pat on the shoulder. "Sure." He replied in a sarcastic tone of voice. All of sudden, they heard a familiar voice call out to them. "Hey! You two! You're heading to the train station, right? Wait for us!" The duo turned around and saw Ochaco, Tenya, and Izuku walking towards them. "Oh, hey Ochaco. We were actually. Want to join us?" Sento asked the brunette. She replied with a smile. "Of course. Figured it would be fun to go there with more people." She then looked at Banjo and had a sudden look of realization.

"Oh, we never actually properly introduced me to you. I'm Ochaco Uraraka. Let's see if I can get this right. Um, you're Ryuga Banjo." She then pointed to Tenya. "You're Tenya Iida. And you're Deku Midoriya, right?" Izukus' eyes widened as she said that name. "D-DEKU?!" Ochaco got a confused look on her face. "During the fitness test, that Bakugo boy called you that, didn't he?" Izuku then sighed. "Actually…my real name is Izuku, but Deku is what Kaachan calls me to make fun of me…It means 'good for nothing'."

"Now I know I don't like that guy." Banjo immediately responded. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. But 'Deku' sounds like the Japanese word for 'You can do it!' It has some sort of 'never give up' vibe, so I kinda like it!" Ochaco explained. "DEKU IT IS!" Izuku said immediately with no reluctance as his face was bright red. "What?! But Midoriya, you're accepting it too easily! Wasn't that an insult?" Tenya asked as he was perplexed by the situation. Banjo leaned over to Sento and whispered in his ear. "The power of coochie, am I right?" He snickered. His joke was only met with an elbow strike to the ribs. "Come on, we're going to be late." Sento explained to the new group of friends.

The train ride was actually really fun for Sento. Mainly because he had new people to talk to. It was really fun to learn about what exactly they liked to do for fun, what their favorite food was, and what their favorite shows are. Eventually, the group started to dwindle down. First it was Tenya, then Ochaco. Then they eventually reached Banjo's stop. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." He said as he left the cabin. Now it was just Izuku and Sento. There was an awkward silence for a good couple of seconds, before Sento decided to break it.

"So…Did you just get your Quirk?" Hearing that statement, Izuku freaked out a little bit. "W-What makes you say that?" Sento threw up an eyebrow. "Um…It's mainly because you had less experience then the rest of our classmates, so it just a guess." Izuku then sighed. "Y-Yeah. It activated during the Exam. For most of my life, everyone believed I was Quirkless. So, when that happened, it was a shock to me." Sento then thought about it for a second. "Yeah, I heard about cases similar to you. Luckily, U.A. should be able to help you control it." He then gave Izuku a reassuring smile.

The train came to a stop, and Sento eyes widened. "This is my stop. I'll-I'll see you tomorrow." He gathered his stuff and was about to exit, when he was suddenly stop. "Wait." Izuku called out. "That night…All those months ago, what was that monster, and why did you fight it?" Sento then sighed. He had hoped that topic wouldn't be brought up, yet it was. "…It's called a Smash. Some type of organization kidnaps people, experiments on them and that is the result. And the reason why I fight them, is because…because I am the only one that really has the power to turn those Smashes back into people."

Sento then turned to face the boy. "And because… the people that creates those monsters did something to me. And they may have the answers that I have been searching for." That last part really threw Izuku off. "Answers to what?" There was a couple of second of silence before an answer finally came out. "…To who I really am."

That last part really threw Izuku through a loop. "I'm asking you…No, begging you. Don't tell anyone about this. The police can't do anything about it. Not even the heroes can do anything about it. Please." As Izuku looked at Sento, almost every part of him wanted to do the exact opposite the boy was asking him to do. Yet, there was a part of him that saw that Sento was telling the truth. He saw it firsthand himself. He really does have the power to turn those people back to normal. As the doors of the train start to close, Izuku looked Sento dead in the eye and told him something that gave Sento chills.

"I promise."
