Thank you all for the wonderful response to the last chapter, it warms my heart to know that you all find it interesting to read. As you can imagine, this chapter will cover Izuku's first day at U.A. so yes, Aizawa will be making his own grumpy but lovable appearance which I've been looking forward to. I've already read about the tests on the wiki page and along with my bro who's my soundboard, I have completed the ranking for the 1-A students by taking into account their quirks, how they used them in season 1, how good they are at using them in season 1 and their personalities and I can tell you, the final results surprised me with who made the top 5.

Emrys Akayuki – Don't worry, sweet little Uraraka still passed but with a lower score so you can imagine this will make her want to work harder as to never be in that position again. And yes, I know that MHA is set at least 100 years in the future but even the manga makes references to pop culture and DC/Marvel heroes so there's no harm in that. I also meant they couldn't arrest him for illegal hero work as the assaults charges, well that would also be hard as not only is he a minor but he also targets villains and criminals only so it would be very hard to get a jury that wouldn't go easy on him as he is still doing a public service which benefits the general populace.

Omega Armadillo 300 – Yes, yes she does. I like her character as someone who's flawed like Mineta but still has the drive to be a proper hero as we've seen her do so more than once. Here, Izuku would just rub off a bit on her, hence why her hero ranking is rising even faster than canon and she is focusing more on saving people but not much, I still want her to remain herself.

Alex Focker – There are already plans for Mei and Izuku to work together as they are both gear-headed inventors, Mei's just more socially awkward and inept when compared to him (which is a big thing really). Mei also seems like the kind of person who would work with another person without getting all jealous or something, so long as her name is on the project she doesn't care as she wants to work at a big-time support company(we all saw what she did to Iida during the Sport's Festival)-therefore helping Izuku out with his developments would only help her in her own goals as she would be showing that her tech or assistance can even make a quirkless boy hero material.


Chapter 6: Another day…Another challenge

(Two nights later at Dagobah Municipal Beach)

Two nights after I got the good news, I called All Might as to meet him at the beach where we trained together. The original plan was to meet the night afterward but after Yu and I woke up the following morning from our night of…passion, we told my mother the good news-( and after admonishing the both of us for unprotected sex which luckily for us, didn't result in a pregnancy as it was a 'safe day' for Yu)-mother decided we should all go out for dinner to celebrate…though she and Yu ate more than I did, I was too happy to care, besides, I know what kind of workout schedule those two have to what fat they gained from out night out would be lost in a matter of days.

Anyway, I had already made it to the beach and found All Might easy enough as at this time, they weren't that many people out there in the first place. He noticed me approaching though.

"Young Midoriya." Yagi called out as Izuku made his way over to him.

"Evening Yagi-sama." Izuku greeted with a small bow as they both turned to watch the waves.

"Congrats on getting it kid, you earned it." Yagi told him with a small smile, something Izuku returned.

"Thank you very much." Izuku replied as Yagi gave him a high five.

"Just so you know, I told the school about my connection to you." Yagi stated, catching Izuku off guard by the statement so he chose to explain. "There was no reason not to and with that known, I wasn't chosen to be on the admission committee for 1st-year students so ensure I couldn't play favorites." He finished.

"Yeah, that does sound like it would be cheating and unfair to everyone else." Izuku replied as he was thankful that he now knew he got in by his own merits, just like everyone who took the exam. "Oh I was surprised to find out that you're going to be a teacher at U.A., is that why you came to town seeing how your agency is in Tokyo and all that?" He asked as he did seem odd that All Might up and left the capital to come to his city of all places.

"Yes, but I couldn't tell anyone about it until the school announced it, as you know I searching for a successor for my power, and the principal thought it would work out if I worked there as I can choose one of the students and be in an environment where I can properly train them." Yagi explained the reasoning behind it. Over their time together, Yagi had told him about One for All and how the quirk worked to help explain his two different forms. Izuku was shocked about it and for a time, couldn't believe that such a quirk existed but after thinking about how there was a time when a glowing baby was deemed impossible, he started to realize that with quirks-just about anything was possible.

'I see, it makes sense, U.A. produces some of the best pros out there. It wouldn't be too hard to find someone amongst the student body who can succeed him.' Izuku thought to himself as he saw that it wasn't a bad move but they would need to keep a lid on this as if people found out about it, everyone will want it which would make the selection all the more difficult. "What does Shield-sama have to say about this?" Izuku asked as he was present when Yagi made the call to tell his old friend about it as well. It took some time for David to forgive Yagi for never telling him about it but thanks to his and Mellissa's effort-(who promised to get him back to holding out on them)-the two adults had smoothed things out.

"He's…hesitate, but that's just because I'll have to retire soon but he supports the decision." Yagi replied as his old friend wasn't too pleased with the news but realized that everyone has their time. It was quiet for a while as the two just took in the scenery as Yagi pulled out a flask and took a sip, something Izuku noticed as he smelt a familiar smell in the air.

"Yagi-sama…" Izuku stated as he lost his smile and started to frown.

"Yes, young Midoriya?" Yagi asked, not seeing the storm brewing on the boy's face.

"Is that coffee…?" Izuku asked as he was now straight up glaring at the number one hero.

.

.

.

"Errr…" Was Yagi response as he recalled that he wasn't supposed to be drinking the stuff and he made the mistake to drink it in front of the 2nd person to bar him from doing so, the first being Recovery Girl.

"And what did I tell you about drinking coffee?" Izuku asked as he took out his trusty taser and turned it on. All while his eyes never left Yagi who was now nervous and slightly scared by the bird of prey look the boy had.

"It's a force of habit to make it every morning." He tried to explain as he backed up to create some distance but Izuku would move closer to close the distance for every step he took.

"I'll show you a force a habit!" Izuki yelled as he jumped forward to smack him only for Yagi to dodge the strike and buff up.

"Oh, would you look at the time, gotta go!" All Might quickly shot out as he ran down the beach, leaving a trail as he tried to make his getaway. He thought he was safe but years of experience allowed him to notice Izuku was hot on his tail.

"You're not getting away that easily, I force grandma food down your throat if I have to! Get back here!" Izuku yelled as he chased after him, leaving the pro to wonder just how he was keeping up as sure he wasn't going his top speed but at the rate, he was running, the boy should have no chance. He looked down at the boy's feet and saw that he was wearing those boots and leg supports he designed and wanted to smack himself for not noticing them earlier.

'You mean he was wearing them even today!' He loudly thought to himself as he ran down the beach from the angry teen.


(The following April)

"Izuku, do you have your tissues?" Inko asked her only child as he put on his boots.

"Yes." Izuku replied.

"And your handkerchief?" She asked as she got up and fastened his tie, though it still looked like he wasn't done right but the boy gave up on that a while ago.

"Yes, mother." Izuku replied.

"And your tools?" She asked as he put on his oversized backpack.

"Already in my bag, mother." Izuku answered as he walked to the door. "Alright I gotta go you else I'll be late on the first day." He stated as he reached for the doorknob.

"Wait Izuku!" Inko called out to him, making him wonder what it was this time.

"Yes, mother." Izuku asked his turned to face her. Once he did, she ran up and hugged him.

"You're really cool." Inko stated as she released him from the hug, leaving him slightly red on the cheeks. "Do your best honey." She told him with an honest smile to which he gave her a thankful one.

"Thanks, mother, see you later!" Izuku said as he walked out the front door and made his way down the stairs to the street. Once he got down, he pulled out his board and placed it down. As he did so, he pulled out his helmet and earphones and put them both on. He connected the earphones to his phone via Bluetooth and put his music to random and hit play as he skated down the street.-(He's listening Empire (feat. Steven Malcolm)). As the music played, Izuku cruised down the road towards his future school. He would perform tricks here and there to impress some of the younger kids he came across and to annoy the older generation who just thought he was an 'import punk' or something but for the most part he raced towards U.A.

'From what I know, the acceptance rate for U. extremely low with only 1 in 300 getting in every year for the hero course. Other than the 4 students admitted through recommendations, 36 students are admitted through the regular exam. Those same 40 are then divided into 2 classes with 20 students each' Izuku thought to himself as he came up to the main gates of U.A and got off his board and removed his helmet. 'All Might said that I scored the 2nd highest of all the 40 who got in, so who scared higher? Maybe Katsuki but that's unlikely. It could be that glasses-wearing dude.' Izuku thought as he latched his board to his backpack and entered the building. It had removed his earphones as well in case it was against the rules as he did want a black mark on his record from the first day. It took some time as the main building was massive but he eventually found his classroom.

"That's a big door…You could fit two All Might's stacked on top of each other through here. Is it for students who have quirks like Yu-chan's?" Izuku said to himself as he stared at the door that must have been a good 6m tall and 2m across. "Alright, this classroom will have the elite chosen from hundreds of applicants…." Izuku said to himself as he attempted to shake off the nerves but then he thought about two people he didn't want to be in the same class with. "I pray to Kami that those two are in 1-B, I don't need more explosions and stern talks." Izuku finished as slid the door open to get inside.

If only his prays were answered.

"Don't put your feet on the desk!" The tall boy from the presentation told Katsuki who like always, didn't look like he cared.

"Huh?" Katsuki replied with a smirk as he turned his head to face him.

"Don't you think that's rude to the U.A. upperclassmen and the people who made that desk?" The tall boy asked him, seemingly wanting Katsuki to think of others first but unlike Izuku, he didn't know that won't work.

"I don't! What Junior High did you go to, you side character?!." Katsuki yelled/demanded.

'Goddammit! It just had to be those 2.' Izuku lamented as he now knew he would have to deal with them for the next 3 years as classmates.

"I attended Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Iida." The now named Iida replied, looking like he was trying to start things over on another foot not knowing that Bakugo was one of the most stubborn people out there.

"Somei!?" Katsuki repeated as his smirk become more like a sneer. "So you're a damn elite, huh?" He asked as he looked Iida up and down like he was searching for something before he made his judgment. "Looks like I'll have fun crushing you!" He finished with his smirk back in place.

"Crushing"? You're terrible! Do you truly aim to be a hero?" Iida asked as he took a step back with an arm raised to defend himself.

"I wonder about that every day." Izuku stated as he walked into the classroom, drawing everyone's attention from Bakugo and Iida's little spat to the new face in the room.

"Good Morning. I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is-" Iida tried to introduce himself as he marched over to Izuku but he merely rose a hand to stop him.

"I heard. My name is Izuku Midoriya, a pleasure to meet you." Izuku began with a small smile as he looked forward to his time here, now if only he could get some time alone to talk with Fumikage as the dude didn't like social gatherings as much as others and tended to stay out of the spotlight. Unfortunately, he didn't know what he was in for as a few more students jumped to their feet when he introduced himself.

"Wait a moment, your Midoriya!" A pink-skinned girl asked as he pointed at him.

"Like the guy who got 1st place in the physical exam Midoriya?!" A blonde boy with a black mark on his hair finished as he approached the boy, who still looked confused by this attention.

"Dude, you get a score in the triple digits, I was so jealous of you!" A set of…clothing stated as it swayed from side to side, wait a minute, the girl must be invisible but why doesn't she just turn it off. Was it a mutation rather than a transformation type quirk?

"Thanks…I guess." Izuku replied as he wasn't used to all this attention from people he didn't know, it was honestly putting him on edge.

"Forgive them Midoriya, they are somewhat excitable from what I've seen." Thank Kami Tokoyami saw fit to save him from the small crowd as he spoke up from his seat.

"Oh Tokoyami, you in this class as well?" Izuku asked him, happy to see a friendly face here.

"Indeed, it would seem to be a stroke of good faith that we find ourselves in the same class." Tokoyami replied as he bowed his head. This interaction was somewhat of a surprise to the rest of the class as Tokoyami has been silent since entering the room and hadn't spoken to anyone, much like the white and red-haired boy.

"You two know each other I presume?" Iida asked as he was the first to gain his wits.

"Yes, he and I are friends." Tokoyami replied as he went quiet once more.

"I see well-Midoriya-" Iida began but was once more interrupted, this time by the girl who walked into behind Izuku.

"Oh, that curly hair!" She announced herself with a smile. "You're the plain-looking one." She finished.

'I don't look that plain, do I?' Izuku thought to himself as he blushed.

"Thanks for saving me like that, it was super cool with how you were flying around and hitting it like 'take that and that'!" She went on and on, clearing she was one of those types with endless amounts of energy in them.

"I-it was nothing, really I just did what I would always do." Izuku replied, trying to work through the bashful embarrassment of being complimented by someone other than close friends and relatives.

"He is not wrong there, the lad has somewhat of a hero complex." Tokoyami spoke up again, now it seemed like he was purposely added fuel to the fire.

"Don't say things like Tokoyami!" Izuku yelled, red at the face in discomfort.

"Is it not true, Midoriya?" Tokoyami asked him with a straight face, okay now he knew he was messing with him.

"I wonder if today is just the entrance ceremony and orientation. I wonder what our teacher is like?" The girl behind him asked in rapid succession, Izuku turned to talk to her but he noticed a yellow worm…thing with a face on the floor behind her. When did that get there?

"If you came here to make friends then go somewhere else." The worm stated blandly as the girl froze and slowly turned to face it along with Iida who just noticed it as well.

.

.

.

.

'WHAT THE HELL!' Was the collective thought among the three teens as they watched the thing just lay there.

"This is the hero course." The worm stated as it revealed itself to be a man in a sleeping bag as it opened up slightly so the man could take a sip from his liquid pack, weren't those the same kind of packaging pre-schoolers used?

.

.

.

.

'AGAIN, WHAT THE HELL!' once more, was the collective thought as this must have been the weirdest thing any of them had seen.

"Okay, it took you eight seconds before you were quiet. Time is limited, you kids are not rational enough." The man said as he stood up and got out of the sleeping bag.

'Says the guy who goes around in a sleeping bag!' Izuku thought to himself as he saw the irony of him of all people telling them that. It was like Katsuki yelling at someone who their poor manners.

'Wait if he's here then he must be our teacher. But I don't think I've seen a pro who looks so worn out before.' Izuku thought to himself as he took in the appearance of the man and boy did he look like he needed a vacation.

"I'm your homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shouto. Nice to meet you." Shouto introduced himself to the class, when no one responded the man reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out the P.E. uniform for the school.

"It's kind of sudden but put this on and go out onto the field." He instructed, no noticing or caring that almost everyone was still shocked about everything else he did.


(Later at the training field)

"Quirk Assessment Test!?" the whole class asked. They had all changed into their P.E. clothes and had gathered on one of the training fields that U.A. had for students. Aizawa had just finished explaining to them why he asked them out in the first place.

"But what about the entrance ceremony? Or Orientation?" the bubbly brown-haired girl from earlier asked as they had all seen the other 1st year students walking towards the main auditorium. A blonde boy had given them the stink eye as they walked past.

"If you're going to become a hero then you won't have time for such leisurely events." Aizawa told her with his back turned. "U.A. selling point is how unrestrictive its school traditions are. That's also how the teachers run their classes." He said as he turned to them with a bored face.

"You kids have been doing these since junior high, too, right?" Aizawa asked them as he took out his phone and showed them the list he had made. "Physical fitness test where you're weren't allowed to use your quirk. The country still uses averages taken from results of students not using their quirks. It's not rational." He ranted to himself, clearly displeased with things but no one interrupted him.

"Well, while the ministry of education is procrastinating. Midoriya, you finished at the top of the physical examination, right?" Aizawa asked as he turned his attention to the green and black-haired boy.

"Yes sir." Izuku responded after he caught himself from the surprise of being address directly.

"In junior high, what was your best result in the softball throw?" Aizawa asked him.

"61 meters" He replied, his physical scores had always been lower than Katsuki who by the end of their junior high careers, could throw a ball about 71 meters. After his reply, Aizawa threw him a clunky-looking ball and instructed him to stand in one of the circles on the ground.

"Then try doing now, you can anything you want so long as you don't leave the circle." He told the boy who looked at the ball then looked down ranged.

"What's the hold-up? Hurry." Aizawa ordered him from the sidelines along with the rest of the students.

"Sir if I may?" Izuku asked as he looked towards his teacher and once he got a nod to continue, he did so. "You said anything right, as long as I don't leave this circle?" he asked as he threw the ball up and caught it a few times.

"Yes I did, don't make me repeat myself." Aizawa confirmed for him.

"Well then," Izuku started as he threw the ball higher into the air before catching again. "If that's true," he went on as he threw the ball high into the air, reaching at least 9m higher and while the ball was coming back down to earth, Izuku started to spin himself around, gathering force as his boots activated and started to cover his whole lower legs from boots to knees. "Then how about this?!" He yelled as he spun around one last time and with all that momentum, kicked the ball as he came down to his shin lever with all the skill of a professional soccer player, launching the round object far away, high into the sky.

"D-did he just kick it?" A girl with dark purple hair and lazy-looking onyx eyes asked the invisible girl next to him.

"Like a soccer ball." She replied as they waited for the teacher to continue the lesson.

"Know your maximum first. That is the most rational way to form a foundation for a hero." Aizawa explained as he showed them all the distance that Izuku was able to kick the softball.

"464.8m(508.3yds), is that for real?" The blonde boy with a black lighting mark in his hair asked.

"That must have been some kick." The green-haired girl with notably large hands commented.

"It looks like fun!" The pinked skinned and-haired girl said with a smile.

"We can use our quirks as much as we went! As expected from the hero course." A boy with black hair, an odd smile, and unusually large cylinder-like elbows stated.

"'It looks like fun'' huh?" Aizawa quoted, even if he was rather quiet, something in his voice told them all he wasn't pleases with what he heard. This was reinforced by what he asked of them all. "You have three years to become heroes. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time?" when he got no answer, he smiled in such a way that it scared some of them and unnerved the rest.

"Alright, whoever comes in the last place will be judged to have no potential and be expelled from the hero course immediately." He stated the stipulation for their assignment.

"Huh?!" Was the class response to this.


(With All Might)

"Aizawa, eh?" Yagi thought to himself as he sat in the staff room, reviewing the class list and each classes' homeroom teacher. He was in his skinny form as to save his strength for when he needed it as all the teachers had been informed of his health and vowed to not speak of it with anyone else.

"Those kids are going to be in for a rough time from the start." He finished as he read about how the same man had expelled an entire class the previous year that he deemed unfit for the hero course. He prayed Aizawa wasn't one to single out young Midoriya for his quirklessness.


(Back with 1-A)

"We're free to do what we want with the circumstances of our students." Aizawa told them all as he combed his hand through his hair to get his hair out of the way of his face. "Welcome to U.A. Hero course." The man greeted them all with a scary smile and creepy eyes.

"The last place will be expelled?!" Izuku yelled, what kind of school did that!?

"But it's the first day of school!" The browned hair girl continued. "No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair!" he said, to which Aizawa just chuckled darkly and turned his creepy grin towards her.

"Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains. Calamities whose time and place cannot be predicted. This world is covered with unfairness. It is heroes who reverse these situations. If you wanted to hang out with friends at Mickey-Ds after school then too bad. As for the next three years, U.A. will do all it can to give you one hardship after the another to prepare you for this unfair world that you will hopefully, one day have to face as heroes." Aizawa explained to them, laying down the facts of being a hero so that those who still thought it was all glamour and showboating would see otherwise. "Go beyond, Plus Ultra. Overcome it with all you got." He finished as he used his finger to make the 'come get some' gesture.

While everyone adsorbed this new look on their chosen profession, Iida took out his water bottle and drank some as he thought about what they were told. 'This is too serious to be hazing and big brother does talk about how ruff it can be to be a pro so Mr. Aizawa isn't wrong.' He finished the first thought as he put his water bottle away. 'Then I'll just have to give it my best.'

'I'll show them all that I'm the strongest, that's for sure.' Katsuki thought to himself as he stretched out a bit.

"Alright, demonstrations over, let's continue."


(50-meter dash)

"On you mark" A robotic timer called out from the end of the track. The first one in line for this was the green-haired girl with large hands and Iida. "Get set." Both of them crouched down and got ready to run. "Go!" And like a bullet fired from a gun, Iida was off, easily outpacing the girl who Izuku later leaned was Tsuyu Asui as he crossed the finish line in record time.

Tenya Iida: 3.04 seconds

Tsuyu Asui: 5.58 seconds

"Iida seems to have taken to that as a fish takes to water. It'll be worth seeing how the others do." Aizawa commented to himself as he watched the speedster leave the track along with Asui to make room for the next two.

"Lighten up my shoes and clothes…" Uraraka said to herself as she used her quirk on her clothing to reduce weight.

"Get set." The Timer called out. "Go." Just like Iida before, the tailed boy set a pretty good time as he used his tail to thump against the ground behind him at an angle to push himself forward. Uraraka just ran like it was a usual quirkless race and set a time that wasn't bad but needed serious work.

Mashirao Ojiro: 5.49 seconds

Ochaco Uraraka: 7.15 seconds

"Oh, but that's faster than I was in junior high!" she cheered as she heard the bot call out her time. She shaved off a second from her last one.

"Good use of his quirk from Ojiro but Uraraka needs to find alternative ways to increase her movement speed since her clothes can't weigh that much." Aizawa commented as he saw that she could have made herself weightless and launch herself from the beginning but she most likely didn't think of it or didn't have the power for such. She should use the gym more often in his eyes.

"Everyone, you're not being creative enough." The blonde pretty boy Izuku recalled from the entrance exam said as he looked at the track before he turned around to have his back facing it. "I'll show you what it's like…to be allowed to use your quirk!" he called out as he used his quirk to fire himself towards the finish line while the pink girl secreted some kind of liquid from her shoes to slide towards it faster than she could run. The boy would have got there first if he didn't stop the blast, fall, and have to get up to fire off another one to cross the line.

Mina Ashido: 5.50 seconds

Yuga Aoyama: 5.51

"If I shoot for more than a second, I get a stomach-ache." Aoyama stated to them all, even though no one asked for an explanation.

"Who's he talking to?" Mina asked the redhead boy who shrugged his shoulders.

"Looking at the upper limit of your quirk and the room for growth in each result, it becomes clear what you can and can't do." Aizawa said as he saw both Bakugo and Midoriya get in position. He would be lying if he said he wasn't looking forward to how Midoriya went about these trials as he was U.A. first quirkless student-(and the first quirkless person to be accepted into the Hero Course. Period) so he had to be creative in how he approached them as he may be physically stronger and faster than some of his classmates but that alone wouldn't cut it. He impressed the pro when he used a kick rather than a throw as from his application and petitions he sent on before the exam, it was clear that his equipment focused more on lower body strength and leg centric attacks in a similar manner to Mirko. By that logic, this part of the test should be easy for him if his legs are anywhere near as strong as hers with those boots of his.

"On your mark," Both Bakugo and Midoriya bent down. "Get set," They rose a bit in preparation to set off. "Go." And they both jetted off with Bakugo using controlled repetitive blasts from his hands as a sort of thrust while Midoriya quickly covered the distance by doing something similar to what Iida did only moving slower than him but making up with it by increasing the distance he covered with every step.

Izuku Midoriya: 3.97 seconds

Katsuki Bakugo: 4.13 seconds

"That was faster than I thought it would be, looks like didn't drain much power either." Izuku muttered as he checked the power levels for his gear were still riding in the 90% range.

"Dammit, even with my explosion, Deku was still faster than me. I'll have to crush him in the other tests." Katsuki muttered angrily as he walked over to the side to make way for the next two to get ready. For Aizawa, he was impressed with how Katsuki used his quirk as thrust but also noticed as the blast wave wasn't as strong as some of the ones he used during the exam, he should have worked up a sweat beforehand seeing how he knew what kind of tests they were doing but didn't, if he had, he could have set a better time.


(Grip Strength)

In this one, Midoriya set a pretty good score of 60.2kg, much better than his junior high record but he was blown out of the water than the tall masked student, Shoji if he wasn't mistaken set a 540kg(1,190lbs)! How strong was he! The second highest was set by the muscular Sato at 510.4kg(1,125lbs).

Others like Sero and Momo got creative in setting their scores as Momo used her quirk to create a robotic hand that did it for her...how mighty convenient. Sero used his…tape to wrap around some of the gymnastics bars laying around to create a pulley system to increase the force he could pull with, looks like someone pays attention in science class. Anyway, Momo set a score of 452.45kg(997lbs), the highest for the girls by a longshot by Sero set the 3rd highest overall with one of 465,5kg(1,026lbs).


(Standing Long Jump)

This one was a cake-walk for Aoyama, Bakugo, and Tokoyami who cleared the entire sandpit. Aoyama covering the largest additional distance with Bakugo a close second. Tokoyami merely cleared the pit and landed right on the other side but Midoriya knew he wasn't one to add extra distance when it served no point to do so. Asui set the 2nd highest-(2nd as Aoyama, Bakugo, and Tokoyami all tied for first place) since she was able to jump a staggering 19.1m(20yds). Midoriya set an impressive score of 13.53m(14yds) which placed him as 3rd for the long jump with a distance more than double that of 4th place as Ojiro set a score of 10.09m(11yds).

The short purpled…balled boy didn't do too badly if you take his size into account as he jumped 3.76m(4yds). Great personal score but still the lowest in the class.


(Repeated Side steps)

Okay, the short boy from before, Mineta redeemed himself with the side steps as with his quirk in play, he set the highest score at around 150 in a minute. The invisible girl was hard to track with being…invisible but her clothes were enough of an indication of her movement for the bot to keep track of her. She scored the 2nd highest with 122 and Ojiro snagging 3rd with 120. The quiet lad with two different hair colors proved to be no slouch as even without his quirk, he set an impressive score of 104 and ranked 4th.

Bakugo was pissed off when he only got 6th place and Midoriya got 5th since the Izuku set a score two steps higher than his at 99. Shame about Sato though as he was still feeling the drawbacks of his earlier quirk usage and tripped during his turn, setting the lowest score of only 30.


(Ball Throw)

Here the teens, inspired by how Midoriya kicked the ball to send it further than he could throw it, showed even more ingenuity as they went about it. Koda had told a garden mouse to carry the ball as far as it could lift it and the little thing accidentally dropped it at 195.1m(213.3yds). He was sad but how could anyone stay upset with a mouse…or Koda? He is going to be great with kids.

Izuku just knew it.

Sero once more surprised them as he used his tape as a sort of sling to throw the ball and set a pretty high score of 289.8m(316.9yds). Asui damned mull kicked the thing and set an even higher score of 301.7m(329.9yds).

Momo just made an air cannon and fired the ball and reached a distance of 708.8m(775.1yds), shy of Bakugo's distance of 711.2m(777.7yds) after he fired it off with an explosive force.

Tokoyami just had Dark Shadow pop out and spun like a discus thrower while adding Dark Shadow's strength to the throw so he set a distance of around 432.3m(472.7yds)

Uraraka on the other hand, blew them all out of the water with a score of infinity after they waited five minutes with the ball still floating higher and higher into the air before Aizawa called it.

"Infinity!?" The whole class-(bar Momo and Todoroki) called out in shock as Uraraka herself tried to play it off as normal with no success.

"That's Amazing! She got infinity?" Denki asked, confused as like the rest of the class.


(Distance Run)

Once more Iida took to the test like a fish to water and was able to get first place in the 800m run with a time of 42 seconds. Momo made a bicycle and rode the distance, setting a time of 54 seconds, and got 2nd place.

Midoriya run like an ostrich on steroids and got 3rd place with a time of 1 minute, 4 seconds. They all finished long before anyone else as 4th place was Todoroki who used his ice to complete the run with a time of 1 minute, 54 seconds. Most of the class got a time in the 3 minutes range with Aoyama barely crossing the finish line at last place.

"Just how fast as those three?" Ashido complained as she fell on her ass in exhaustion.

"Iida was so far ahead, I could barely see him." Ojiro commented as he did some breathing exercises to cool down.

"Momo was pretty impressive too. She thought outside the box with that one." Jiro stated as she gave the girl in question a thumb-ups. While they talked, Izuku approached Todoroki who was standing to the side, he was shaking slightly as Midoriya could see ice build-up on him.

"You okay?" He asked the boy only to be quite rudely, brushed off.

"I'm fine." Todoroki answered as she walked away.

"Someone's touchy." Izuku muttered to himself with a frown at the lack of manners from the lad, and he thought it was just Bakugo he had to deal with. Honestly, did powerful quirks just make the user's assholes?


(Seated toe-touch)

Bakugo showed them that he meant business when he set the record in the toe test, giving up after he reached 276, 28 times touched higher than 2nd place Todoroki. The scores here weren't too bad as even last place Aoyama got to 86 before he got too much for him so at least everyone in the class was in shape.


(Sit-ups)

The last test brought out the best in everyone as they tried to increase their scores in any way they could. Tokoyami sadly got the last place with a limit of 97 push-ups reached but he was never the most…physical fighter so he wasn't too upset about it.

Hagakure once more showed that the invisible girl wasn't to be taken lightly as she got the highest of the girls at 7th place with 172 push-ups. She seemed to be very chatty with Ashido even though the girl gave up at 119 herself.

The top four boys of Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Kirishima all went above and beyond 200 in such a fashion, it looked like they were trying to outdo the other. Iida tried to follow them but conceded defeat at 196. Kirishima went on for quite a while but he collapsed at 246, leaving only three to continue past the 300 mark.

"You got to be kidding me, how far can they go?" Sato asked as he and the rest of the class watched as the trio kept on pushing the bar.

"Those three can't be human." Was Mineta's answer to the question and if everyone was being honest, they weren't so quick to disagree with him. Aizawa was very impressed-(though he didn't show)-with the performance of these three in particular. Bakugo has consistently scored in the top 6 for every test while Izuku would always place somewhere in the top 8. Todoroki had placed in the top four for four of the test and only placed lower when his quirk would have been of no use (at least the part he was making use of), still he had much room for improvement if the other two could do it, one of them did so with just his wits and his power gauntlets and boots.

"Those…guys….are…so…manly!" Kirishima cheered with his face still in the dirt, Ashido laughed at this and walked over with a bottle of water.

"Why don't you drink some water and cool down before you pass out." She offered as she bent over to give him a sip. Unfortunately for Mineta-(he wasn't the first prev she had dealt with)-she bent with her knees and not at the waist so he didn't see anything.

"Thanks….you're the….best." Kirishima smiled as he gratefully took some much-needed sips of water as he got up.

This went on for some time as all three kept going, determined to set the highest time but after 320 push-ups, fatigue set in on all of them, and they started to slow down. By 330, they started to tire out and out of them, it was Todoroki who collapsed first as 338. Midoriya didn't last much longer as he gave out at 341 and as if watching them fail, gave him a second wind, Bakugo found he was able to push himself to 378 before he gave in to exhaustion.

"How…can…some..one…be able…to…push…that…much push-ups?" Todoroki asked himself as he struggled to get back up from that.

"He's…a…freak of….nature…that's why." Midoriya retorted with his head down, he did notice footsteps approaching him but he was too tired to check who it was.

"You say that but all three of you went much further than anyone else in the class. Your physical capabilities are outstanding." Tokoyami told him as he looked down at the crumpled form of his friend who had pushed himself too hard, yet again for something stupid.

"Great…now…could you…help me…up?" Izuku asked as he could barely put weight on his arms to lift himself up.

"[sigh] It's just like you to overexert yourself." Tokoyami stated as he crouched down to help the green-haired teen back to his feet.

"Couldn't let…Bakugo…have an easy…victory." And just like Tokoyami thought, the boy pushed himself for stupid reasons. Later they had all gathered around Aizawa after he had time to put their scores into his smartphone to properly calculate their ranking, they were all tense as they all recalled what he said about what happens to the last place. Midoriya himself wasn't too worried as he knew his performance in most of the tests was better than average so he gaged that he had scored in the upper ten at the very least.


"Alright, to save time, I'll just show all your results. Your position was determined by all the rankings you all got for each test combined and then divided by 8." Aizawa said as he projected their results in the air for them to all to see.

"NOOOO!"

"Tough luck buddy, maybe next year?" Sero tried to lessen the blow but the purple-balled-haired boy already fell to his knees in defeat and despair.

"Harsh man, he did pretty well in some of the tests. Relative to his body." Izuku stated as he patted the boy's back as it wasn't impossible to try again the next year as U.A. allowed someone to apply twice.

"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion." Aizawa stated, letting loose that revelation like he was talking about the weather. At his words, the entire class went dead silent.

"It was a rational deception to ensure that all of you performed at your absolute best." And the man had the balls to smirk like a mad lad as he revealed his reasoning for making them all piss their pants.

"WHAT THE HELL MAN!?" Nearly the entire class roared in frustration at his blatant deceit while Aizawa looked like he should be in the loony bin with that creepy smile, clearly he enjoyed watching them squirm.

"Of course it was a lie. It should have been obvious if you thought it." Momo said as if it should have been obvious, oblivious to the looks on just about everyone's face when she said that.

'If official, powerful quirks make the user disconnected from the rest of us. Only they would not see the threat since they were born so damn lucky!' Izuku thought himself with a straight face as he stood alongside Tokoyami who for his part, didn't react like the rest of the class but Izuku could see he wasn't happy with the deception.

"Alright, we're done here. Got hit the shower and return to class to get the hand-outs on the curriculum." Aizawa told them as he walked off, seemingly to the staff room as the class left for the locker room and showers.


Well, there you have it, chapter 6 done and posted neatly in a bow. I didn't go too far from the source material but you call can see the changes for yourself. By the way, if you got the Cars short reference earlier in the chapter, good for you. I know that Bakugo wasn't supposed to get first place to help with his ego but in this time of the story, he isn't as arrogant and self-absorbed as having to deal with a confident and noteworthy Izuku much earlier one than cannon made him realized that his quirk alone wouldn't cut it and therefore he has trained more by this point.

Unlike some authors, I didn't make Aizawa target Midoriya for being quirkless as he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to do so, yes he is strict and at times-a taskmaster but he only does so because he wants the students to become the best heroes they can be like any good teacher should. Plus he must know that even with his quirk, he would have never scored in the top ten on his first day at U.A. so he isn't going to out the boy for his genetic composition but he will push him harder as Izuku has to work harder than the rest of them to achieve the same goal.

Ojiro and Hagakure got their score higher than cannon as I see those two as people who put more emphasis on physical prowess than most as Ojiro is a martial artist and therefore has to have a strict workout schedule. Hagakure is invisible which she knows is her only advantage so, like the boy she's paired with half the time, she too works out a lot to gain as much leverage as she can in fights and hero work in general.

Before any of you ask, no Izuku doesn't hate those who were born with powerful quirks, it's just that I can't find any good reason Momo would think Aizawa was bluffing about his whole expulsion threat. Even when Izuku called him out by his hero name, only a few of the class recognized it, and even then, no one knew anything about him personality-wise and he wasn't lying about how U.A. is run and according to cannon and All Might, he expelled an entire class the previous year, so only threatening to expel one was rather merciful compared to that. So to end it, to Izuku, it does seem like the three with the strongest quirks just thought they weren't in any danger of expulsion because of their quirks.
