My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

With all my strength...

I'll do what I can right now!

Smash...!

It doesn't hurt... as much as before...!

It wasn't a throw that relied on power.

He just concentrated all the power into his fingertip?

Teacher...

I still...

...can move!

This kid...

He got over 700 meters?!

Finally, a hero-like record!

His finger's swollen!

There was the entrance exam, too.

He has a strange Quirk...

It's not very stylish.

Wh-What's with that power?!

Everyone's Quirks manifest by the age of four.

This is unthinkable!

But in reality...

S-Someone told me...

"You can become a hero"...

That it was because of my own effort...

What is the meaning of this?

Hey!

Tell me what's going on, Deku, you bastard!

What the—?

These cloths are hard...!

They're weapons for capture made of carbon fiber woven together with metal wire made of a special alloy.

Jeez...

Don't keep making me use my Quirk over and over.

I have dry eye.

It's such a waste, since his Quirk is so amazing!

It's such a waste, since his Quirk is so amazing!

U.A. High's home room teacher for Class 1-A, Aizawa Shouta.

He can erase the Quirks of those he looks at.

The effect goes away when he blinks!

We're wasting time.

Whoever's next, get ready.

Is your finger all right?

Oh, yeah.

Until a little while ago...

...he was just a pebble on the side of the road.

You're so lucky, Kacchan.

Your Quirk's so cool!

I hope I get mine soon, too.

No matter what Quirk you get, you'll never beat me.

A pebble...

...on the side of the road!

After that, I fought against the pain

as we finished the rest of the fitness tests.

Okay, I'll quickly tell you the results.

The total is simply themarks you, got from each test.

It's a waste of time to explain verbally, so I'll show you the results all at once.

The person with the lowest total score will be expelled.

The only result I had that was any good was in the ball throw.

For the rest of the tests, I did terribly because of the pain.

Last place will be...

...expelled?

By the way, I was lying about the expulsion.

It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks.

What?!

Of course that was a lie.

It should have been obvious if you just thought it through.

I didn't notice...

I didn't notice...

That was a little nerve-wracking, huh?

I'll take up the challenge anytime!

With that, we're done here.

There are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom so when you get back, look over them.

Midoriya—

Have the old lady fix you in the nurse's office.

Tomorrow will be packed with even more rigorous tests.

Prepare yourself.

I got through this for now...

...but there was too much that I couldn't do.

I'm starting from last place.

I have a lot to learn from here on out...

...in order to get closer to what I dream of becoming!

Aizawa, you liar!

All Might.

So you were watching?

Too much time on your hands?

"A rational deception" you said?

April Fools was last week.

You punished a whole class of last year's first-years with expulsion.

You cut those you judge to be without potential without hesitation.

For a man like that to take back his words—

That must be because you also felt the potential of that kid, right?

"Also"?

You seem to be supporting him quite a bit.

Is that how a teacher should be acting?

His potential was not zero.

That's all it was.

I will always cut those without potential.

There's nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway.

So you're being kind in your own way, huh, Aizawa?

But...

...we don't really get along after all...

I'm so tired...

Iida!

Is your finger healed?

Yeah, thanks to Recovery Girl.

Wow, it's healed!

But I suddenly feel very tired...

My Quirk can only stimulate a person's healing ability.

Healing requires stamina.

If you keep getting major injuries, you'll use too much stamina

and end up dying instead, so be careful.

I'll end up dying instead?!

I can't just keep getting help from others.

I have to hurry up and learn to control my power.

I was really taken in by Mr. Aizawa.

I even thought, "This is the best of the best" and such.

I didn't think a teacher would encourage us with a lie.

I thought Iida was scary, but he's just earnest.

Hey! You two!

Going to the station?

Wait for me!

Uraraka?!

You're the infinity girl.

I'm Uraraka Ochako.

Um, you're Iida Tenya,

and you're Midoriya Deku, right?

"Deku"?!

Huh?

But during the fitness test, the boy named Bakugou said—

Deku, you bastard!

Right?

Uh... my real name is Izuku, but D-Deku is what Kacchan calls me to make fun of me...

An insult?

Oh, is that right?

Sorry!

But "Deku" sounds like the Japanese word for "You can do it!"

so I kinda like it.

I'm Deku!

Midoriya?

You're accepting it too easily!

Wasn't that an insult?

It's like a Copernican Revolution...

"Co-pe"?

There are so many things I can't do.

I have to work hard and do my best.

But, All Might...

...I can at least be happy that I have friends, right?

You don't have time to relax, young man.

The real thing starts tomorrow.

The curriculum of U.A. High's hero course.

Regular required classes, like English, in the morning.

Which of these English sentences is wrong?

So normal...

So normal...

So damn boring.

Everybody, heads up!

Let's get this party started!

Okay, Yaoyorozu, come on!

The relative pronoun is in the wrong place in number 4!

Lunch is at the main cafeteria, where we can buy gourmet food for reasonable prices.

White rice is great comfort food, isn't it?

Yeah.

And then, in the afternoon, we finally have...

...Hero Basic Training.

I am...

...coming through the door like a normal person.

It's All Might!

Wow, he really is a teacher!

That's a costume from the Silver Age, isn't it?

Its style is so different, it's giving me goose bumps.

I teach Hero Basic Training.

It is a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero.

You'll take the most units of this subject!

Let's get right into it!

This is what we'll do today—

Combat training!

Combat...

...training.

And to go with that are these!

Costumes made based on your Quirk registrations and requests you sent in before school started.

Costumes!

After you change, gather in Ground Beta!

Yes, sir!

They say the clothes make the man, young men and ladies.

Be fully aware...

From now on...

...you are heroes!

That's great, everyone.

You all look cool!

Now, shall we begin, you zygotes?

The clothing allowance.

Before we enrolled in U.A. High, we submitted our Quirk registration,

physical measurements, and desired designs

so a support company under exclusive contract with the school

could prepare state-of-the-art costumes for us.

It's a wonderful system.

I need to go to city hall to get my Quirk registration for the clothing allowance.

But I'm already registered as "none"...

Oh, what should I do...?

Quirk registration?

Oh, you can update that.

Really?!
