Chapter 5.
Tests and classes.
The ten members of Class 1-A gather at the training ground each dressed in their respective gym uniforms. – "So, Sensei, what are we going to do here?"- Kaoruko asked.
- "Today is your first day but that doesn't mean we won't do anything." – Best Jeanist said. – "As the only activity today we will have a quirk apprehension test."-
- "Quirk apprehension test? What's that?"- Emi asked.
- "You will do the same tests that you did in middle school, only this time you will use your quirks, for better understanding we will give an example."- Best Jeanist looks among the students and points to one of them who turned out to be Izuku. – "Midoriya, you placed first at the entrance exam. How many meters did you achieve when throwing the ball at the school?"- Best Jeanist asked while handing Izuku a ball.
- "Hmm…"- Izuku thinks for a second. – "Around 70 meters I think."-
- "Not bad, now throw the ball using your quirk, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't exit the circle."- Best Jeanist said. – "The objective is to throw the ball as far as possible, use your quirk and creativity to do it."-
- "Alright."- Izuku said and then proceeded to ignite the ball. Then, using a fire blast, the ball is shot like a canyon, the shot was so strong that it created a gust of wind from which everyone had to cover.
Best Jeanist's machine made a sound and he saw the score from Izuku. – "Not bad, I see that you know how to use your quirk creatively."- He said while showing the score to the rest of the class: 733 meters.
- "Cool!"- Renjiro said.
- "It's not that big of a deal..."- Sensoji said.
- "Now, I know this may seem like fun to all of you... but I must remind you that you are in UA now, you are here to become heroes, not to have fun."- Best Jeanist said. – "By this I don't mean that you don't have fun or that you are serious all the time, what I mean is that you are no longer high school students, it is time for you to give your best in all the exercises and practices, that you take seriously what it means to be a hero."-
Everyone remains silent, listening to what their teacher tells them.
- "You all decided to walk this path, being a hero is not easy, there is always danger in this profession, but here at UA we will make sure to guide all of you on the right path."- Best Jeanist said. – "This is not a competition, I don't want you to look at it that way, but obviously the scores you get in these tests will make you be either higher or lower on the scoreboard."-
- "So why are you rating us if you say this is not a competition?"- Emi asked.
- "There are ten of you so we can do the following... see this as the top ten of the Hero Billboard Chart, these tests are how well you have done in your job as a hero and in the end we will see where each of you is ranked in the top."- Best Jeanist said. – "So please... do your best."-

Blaze of Glory: Izuku Midoriya's Fire Hero Chronicles.
…
…
…
First Test: 50 meters run.
The one who dominated this test was Daichi who used his gusts of air to push himself as fast as possible and achieve the best time of 3.20 seconds.
Izuku had the third fastest time of 3.57 seconds.
Second Test: Grip force.
In this test, the one who obtained the best score was Emi who, thanks to her mass expansion quirk, managed to obtain a score of 300 kilograms.
Izuku achieved a score a little above normal, about 65 kilograms, since, even though his quirk does not help him much in this type of test, he managed to heat up the machine and thus managed to increase the pressure that the machine received.
Third Test: Standing Long Jump
In this test Daichi once again obtained the best score, not only was he able to jump over the sandbox, but he also obtained the greatest jumping distance.
Izuku scored the second best distance.
Fourth Test: Repeated Side Steps.
In this test Izuku managed to last the longest, since by using his fire in his hands to simulate jumping he managed to avoid getting tired.
Fifth Test: Distance run.
In this test Yu is the one who achieved the best score, as her size grew she managed to travel the greatest distance.
The second best was Emi who also grew in size but her speed was less than Yu's.
Sixth Test: Seated toe-touch.
In this test Kaoruko is the one who managed to last the longest thanks to her great agility and flexibility.
This test was the one where Izuku did the worst, it's not that he did bad, but he wasn't one of the best either, he really needs to work on his flexibility.
Seventh Test: Sit Ups.
In this test there was a tie between Izuku and Sensoji, who obtained the same number of sit-ups, with a total of 73 sit-ups done.
Eight and Last Test: Ball Throw.
In this test Izuku did not participate as he had already did it, but he was surpassed, Yu increased her size and thanks to that she managed to throw the ball for more than a kilometer, 1203 meters, obtaining the best score, Emi being close second with 1163 meters, other than that Sensoji was a close fourth only behind Izuku, Emi and Yu with 692 meters.
And with this last test the quirk apprehension test concludes.
- "Good job, I see that you all took my words seriously and tried your best, like good quality jeans."- Best Jeanist said. – "Now I will show you the results, please look at the hologram."-
Best Jeanist shows the results.
1. Daichi Suzuki.
2. Yu Takeyama.
3. Izuku Midoriya.
4. Emi Aoki.
5. Sensoji Tsukino
6. Hana Yoshida.
7. Renjiro Takahashi.
8. Kaoruko Awata.
9. Yukihiro Kato.
10. Aiko Honda.
- "Third place... not bad to start."- Izuku thought. – "Even so, this test taught me where I have to improve."-
- "Fifth place? That's unacceptable for someone as strong as me!"- Sensoji thought.
- "Dude...seventh place...I need to improve."- Renjiro thought.
- "As I said before, this is not a competition, this test is to give you the opportunity to use your quirks in situations that were not allowed before."- Best Jeanist said. – "This also helps you realize where you need to improve, like when you are designing jeans, you always have to put them to the test to see what fails."-
- "Talking about Jeans is a bit strange... but I understand what he means."- Izuku thought.
- "Now with this we finish for today, in the classroom you will be able to find the agenda and other documents, important information that I recommend you read."- Best Jeanist said. – "Today was a quiet day, tomorrow things start in earnest."-
Before Best Jeanist lets the rest of the class leave Yu raises his hand. – "I have a question, it is not related to the test itself, but at the same time it is."- Yu said.
- "Go ahead."- Best Jeanist said.
- "I could notice that when I used my quirk the clothes grew with me, I usually need special clothes for that to happen."- Yu asked. – "Why is that?"-
- "That's very simple, each one filled out your quirk form with all its specifications, UA used that information to make your uniforms, both for classes and gym."- Best Jeanist said. – "While you were introducing yourself, I wrote down your seat number next to your name and when we were at the introduction ceremony with the director, the person in charge of making the costumes placed your respective uniform on your respective desk."-
- "That explains why my uniform didn't burn with my fire..."- Izuku said.
- "Exactly, your uniforms were made individually for each of you, so that they can function alongside your quirks without creating... awkward situations."- Best Jeanist said.
- "Yeah... if my uniform had not grown with me it would have been somewhat uncomfortable..."- Yu said.
- "Thank goodness that situation could be avoided."- Best Jeanist said. – "Now, if there are no more questions, you can leave."-
…
…
…
The school was over for the day and Izuku was ready to go home.
- "Today was an interesting day."- Izuku thought. – "Hakamada-sensei is a very good teacher, he helped me find my weak points."-
- "Hey! Izuku, wait!"- Renjiro said as he approaches Izuku. – "Are you going to the station? Let's go together!"-
- "Sure!" – Izuku said.
- "Cool!"- Renjiro said as they started walking to the station. – "Man... today was interesting, don't you think?"-
- "Yes, I didn't expect the test on the first day, but I can see why Hakamada-sensei did it."- Izuku said.
- "You got third place, man, that's great."- Renjiro said. – "For my part, I came in seventh... kind of disappointing if you ask me..."-
- "Don't say that!"- Izuku said. – "You can't always use your quirk in any situation; besides, it wasn't a competition and now you know what you need to improve on!"-
- "I guess you're right..."- Renjiro said.
- "You two, wait"- It was Kaoruko heading towards them. – "Are you heading to the train station?"-
- "You are the bubble girl!"- Renjiro said. – "Yes, we are going to the station, do you want to come with us?"-
- "It's Kaoruko Awata and yes, let's go to the station."- Kaoruko said. – "You are... I'm sorry, I don't remember your names."-
- "It's okay, we've only known each other for a day so it's normal that we still don't know each other's names."- Izuku said. – "I'm Izuku Midoriya, a pleasure Kaoruko-san."-
- "Kaoruko…"- The girl said with surprise.
- "Oh! I'm sorry! It's a bad habit of mine, I tend to call people by their first name out of instinct."- Izuku said. – "Sorry Awata-san."-
- "No, don't worry, you can call me by my first name, I was just a little surprised."- Kaoruko said and then looked at Renjiro. – "And you are..."-
- "Renjiro Takahashi."- Renjiro said. – "Nice to meet you."-
The trio continues their way to the station, taking advantage of the time to get to know each other better. – "Well... I managed to make two friends on the first day... a good start without a doubt."- Izuku thought.
…
…
…
Midoriya household.
- "I'm home!"- Izuku said as he entered his house.
- "Izuku, you're back! How was your day?"- Inko asked.
- "Brother! You have to tell me everything about UA, is it as incredible as they say?!"- Izumi said.
- "Much more incredible!"- Izuku said.
- "Although you came back early today, right?"- Inko said. – "Aren't classes at UA in the hero department supposed to end until 6 p.m.?"-
- "Yes, but since today was the first day, classes ended early."- Izuku said. – "Starting tomorrow the schedule will be the official one."-
- "In that case come and sit down to eat something!"- Inko said. – "And of course, tell us everything!"-
- "Thanks."- Izuku said.
- "Tell me, what are your classmates like?"- Inko asked. – "How are your teachers? Do I have a future daughter-in-law?"-
- "Mom!"- Izuku said. – "My classmates are fine, I guess, I still don't know them completely, although I managed to make two friends, Renjiro Takahashi and Kaoruko Awata."-
- "How nice, I'm glad you can make a friend on your first day!" Inko said.
- "By the way... Zumi, you won't believe who my teacher is."- Izuki said to his sister.
- "Who is it?"- Izumi asked.
- "Best Jeanist himself."- Izuku said.
- "Oh my god! That's so cool!"- Izumi said and then took out a notebook out of nowhere, the notebook has the title of Hero Analysis for the Future #4. – "Oh and what about your classmates' quirks?"-
- "You do like quirks, don't you?"- Izuku said.
Izumi just smiles to her brother.
- "Alright, I'll tell you, but first let me eat something, okay?"- Izuku said.

…
A new day has come, and class 1-a was having their morning lessons, right they were having English classes with Majestic, a pro hero.
- "English is the most spoken language in the world in general, it is very important that you learn it, especially if any of you have to support heroes from another country."- Majestic said.
- "Normal classes... well UA is still a school after all."- Kaoruko thought.
- "This is boring... when does the good stuff start?!"- Sensoji thought.
- "I'm not bad at English... but it doesn't hurt to review what I've learned."- Izuku thought.
After the morning lessons, in the afternoon, it is lunch time, it is first class food at low prices in the large dining room.
- "White rice is one of the best foods in the world."- Said the chef who was the pro hero Lunch Rush.
- "Even though I've already known this before, it's still impressive... even the non-teaching staff are heroes."- Izuku thought.
- "It may be simple rice... but it's delicious!"- Renjiro said.
- "I know right?!"- Kaoruko said.
After finishing the lunch, it was the moment everyone was waiting for, the basic study for heroes.
- "Hey, Izuku, Kaoruko."- Renjiro called his friends. – "Who do you think our hero class teacher will be?"-
- "I don't know... It can be anyone."- Izuku said. – "What is certain is that he or she will be a hero."-
While everyone is talking, the classroom door opens and the teacher walks in, turning out to be Best Jeanist. – "Hakamada-sensei?"- Hana asked. – "What are you doing here? Aren't we supposed to have heroics class?"-
- "That's exactly why I'm here."- Best Jeanist said. – "Since we are short-staffed this year, some of us have more than one position, I am both your homeroom teacher as the heroics teacher of the hero course." –
- "Wow, you really are our Best-Sensei!"- Izuku said. – "Did you understand? Best...Sensei."-
The class remains quiet until Best Jeanist speaks. - "Hmm... I like the way it sounds, so I'll allow you to call me that."-
- "Best-sensei! Best-sensei!"- The class began to cheer.
- "Now that we're done with that..."- Best Jeanist said. – "It's time for our first hero class exercise… Battle training."-
- "Finally!"- Sensoji said.
- "Alright!"- Renjiro said.
- "So quickly do we start the battles?"- Kaoruko said.
- "Shouldn't we do something simpler the first time?"- Aiko asked.
- "Don't worry, it's battle training but it won't be complicated at all, with these combat training you will learn the basics as well as being able to put it into practice."- Best Jeanist said. – "And, of course, with that, we also have these."-
Best Jeanist pushed a button and from the wall a lot of briefcases emerged. – "Ordered according to the report of your quirks and the application you sent before entering the school, here are your hero costumes."- He said.
Seeing the costumes everyone gets excited. – "Finally! I've been waiting so I can put on my costume!"- Yu said.
- "I hope mine comes just as I ordered!"- Daichi said.
- "I still can't believe I'll have a hero suit so early in UA..."- Aiko said.
- "Finally, what I came to UA for!"- Sensoji said.
- "My hero suit... this is going to be great!"- Izuku thought. – "I hope it comes with the design and functionality specifications I requested..."-
- "I can see that you are all excited, but remember that the hero suit should be a part of you, both as an identity and as a tool to help you in your work."- Best Jeanist said. – "Indeed, it is important to look good in a hero costume, since both your popularity and the way the public perceives you depend on it, but it should also serve to overshadow your weaknesses and strengthen your virtues, like the perfect jeans."-
Everyone stands up and grabs their respective briefcase.
- "When you've changed your clothes, gather at the gamma training ground." – Best Jeanist said.
…
…
…
Gamma Training Ground.
- "You are all here for a reason..."- Best Jeanis said as everyone stepped in the room, dressed in their respective hero costumes.
– "Now the moment has come that all of you have been waiting for... it's time to be heroes."-
…
…
…
