My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

The world has become a superhuman society,

and about 80% of the world's population now has some kind of special trait.

In this world swirling with chaos,

the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired

came into the limelight.

Heroes of justice fighting villains and saving people from distress.

Yes, this is the story of how I became the greatest hero.

The second round of the U.A. sports festival first-year stage is...

A cavalry battle with the top 42 from the qualifier!

Izuku Midoriya, who placed first in the qualifier, is worth ten million points!

It's survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!

Bakugo and Todoroki aren't the only ones who see you as a rival.

I will challenge you.

Uraraka.

Yes!

Hatsume.

Tokoyami.

Yeah.

I'm counting on you!

I know!

Tokoyami!

Call me Tsu!

Kacchan!

Don't get carried away!

Damn it!

Tokoyami!

I'll be taking that now.

"Cavalry Battle Finale"

It was a good plan, so I joined the team even though it was you.

When did you lose your headband?

I don't know!

But now, there's nothing left to lose!

Shoji, full attack mode!

We're gonna steal the points from those two teams with everything we've got!

I thought we would not have a confrontation until later in this contest.

He seems to think highly of you, Midoriya.

Only half the time is left!

Don't stop moving.

Iida, forward!

Right!

Yaoyorozu, prepare to guard us and conduct electricity.

Right.

Kaminari, you--

I know what I have to do!

Watch our surroundings.

It's not just one group coming for us!

Make sure you guard well...

Indiscriminate Shock...

...1.3 Million Volts!

Kaminari...!

Less than six minutes left.

We can't back down now.

Sorry, but you'll just have to bear it.

What? What'd he do?

Todoroki took care of that crowd of teams in an instant!

He froze them after Kaminari's shock stopped them...

I guess it should be expected,

but he took into account how a lot of people avoided it in the obstacle course.

Nice commentary!

I might as well take these.

--Damn it! --What? Mine, too?

The backpack's acting up?

Baby! There's room for improvement!

Oh no, it's too strong!

We can't get away!

I'll restrain them!

Yaoyorozu!

Yaoyoruzu's Creation is too hard to deal with!

No...

Kaminari is worse.

With that level of armor,

if it had been sunlight, Dark Shadow would've been ripped apart.

Right!

In any case, I want you to devote yourself to defense.

You don't have to attack.

So...

Interesting.

My Quirk's offensive ability increases the darker it is,

but it becomes fierce and difficult to control.

On the other hand, under sunlight, it becomes possible to control,

but its offense becomes below average.

To tell me I didn't have to attack with my Quirk without knowing that...

It's a very unique choice, under the circumstances.

Very well. Try using me.

I leave it to you, Midoriya.

I see... Kaminari's lightning...

As long as he keeps discharging electricity,

attacking will be difficult.

Dark Shadow will become timid.

I'm against violence...

Team Midoriya has nowhere left to go!

Decreased offense...

They don't know that, do they?

I don't believe so.

The only person I've told about this weakness is Koda, at USJ,

and he is a man of few words.

If they don't know about it, then we can use it to hold them back.

It's fine.

No matter what, we will hang on to the ten million!

Class A is too simple-minded.

He got us!

What'd you say, bastard?

Give that back! I'll kill you!

You're famous, aren't you?

As the victim of the sludge incident!

Tell me about it sometime--

About how it feels to be attacked by villains once a year.

Kirishima... change of plan...

Monoma, don't provoke him!

You'll be the same as him.

That's right. It wouldn't become a hero.

Besides, don't you often hear

about heroes who get done in by villains who want revenge?

Bakugo, calm down!

If you don't calm down, we won't be able to get the points back!

Forward, Kirishima!

Right now,

I'm totally calm!

We're seriously counting on you!

Go...!

Die...!

Wow, what a nice Quirk!

That's my--

Bakugo, someone has the same Quirk as you, too?

Damn it!

Really, such nice Quirks.

Mine's better, though.

Wha...? Mine?

The same again...?

No.

This guy copied them.

That's right!

"Neito Monoma" "Quirk: Copy"

Neito Monoma. Quirk: Copy!

He can use the Quirks

of anyone he touches as much as he wants for five minutes.

He can't use two at the same time, though!

Well, even an idiot can figure it out, huh?

"Now!"

"Okay!"

Bondo! Picking a fight, huh?

Monoma, we just have to keep from getting caught now.

"Go!"

With this many points, we'll definitely make it into the top four!

After them!

It's solidifying!

Wow! I can't move!

Wait a sec!

I'll melt it with my Quirk!

Hurry!

We've got zero points right now! Hurry!

Oh, don't get mad at me.

You're the one who provoked us, right?

What did you say for the pledge again?

That embarrassing thing... Let me think...

Oh well, you've done enough for today!

I'll be number one.

Number one. Not just first place.

I'll take an indisputable first place!

One minute left!

Todoroki made it so he'd have the

ten million to himself to seize in an instant!

At least, that's what I thought five minutes ago!

But unbelievably, Midoriya's been able to

keep away in that cramped space for five minutes!

Hold!

You're doing good.

He can see right through you.

Fool.

He's keeping his distance, staying on the left side.

He's paying attention.

At this rate, if I want to freeze them over the

shortest distance possible, I'll get Iida.

And if he keeps moving like this,

I'll do myself in if I freeze indiscriminately.

-I'm not... done yet...

--And Tokoyami can defend against Kaminari's electricity.

One more minute.

The bastard...!

Everyone, there's less than a minute left.

You won't be able to use me after this.

I'm counting on you!

Iida?

Hang on tight.

Make sure you get it, Todoroki.

Torque Over--

Reciproburst!

Wha...?!

What happened? So fast! So fast!

Iida, if you could accelerate that fast, then show us in the prelims!

What was that?

By forcing the torque and rotations to increase, I created an explosive power.

With the recoil, my engine stalls after a while, though.

It's a secret move I hadn't told anyone in class yet.

I told you, didn't I, Midoriya?

That I'd challenge you.

The tables are turned!

Offense and defense right at the edge!

Reining that in, Todoroki gets the ten million!

And Midoriya is suddenly left with zero points!
