My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

U.A. High School's hero course.

A training school for those whose goal is to acquire the necessary qualifications needed for pro heroes.

Among similar courses across the country, theirs is the most popular and most competitive...

...and their acceptance rate is less than one in three hundred every year.

The hero who refused a National Honor Award—

The number one hero, All Might.

The hero who resolved the most incidents in history—

The Fiery Hero, Endeavor.

The winner of the Best Jeanist award eight years in a row—

Best Jeanist.

Graduating from U.A. is a requirement for becoming a great hero.

And so, I also tackled the U.A. entrance exam.

I will take...

...the first step toward my dream of becoming a hero!

What is this?

It's like a city!

They have more than one of these on the school grounds?

U.A.'s amazing!

As it says in the application requirements,

you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock urban battles after this!

Three different types of faux villains are stationed in each battle center.

You earn points for each of them based on their level of difficulty.

Your goal, dear listeners, is to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing the faux villains.

Mock battles...

How can everyone be so confident?

Aren't they nervous?

They even have equipment to go with their Quirks...

Oh, it's the person I met at the school gates!

The nice person!

She was assigned to the same battle center, huh?

Oh yeah, I have to thank her for earlier.

He's here, too?

That girl appears to be trying to focus.

What are you doing here?

Are you taking the entrance exam to interfere with everyone else?

N-N-No, of course not...

That guy's the one who was about to trip in front of the school gates, right?

The one who winced after being called out.

At the very least, we have one less rival to worry about, huh?

Lucky for us.

I feel like the others think they lucked out because I'm here...

Okay, start!

What's wrong?

There are no countdowns in real fights!

Run, run!

The die has been cast, you know!

Huh?

Huh?!

Huuuuh?!

I... I'm behind already!

I'm behind.

Calm down, calm down.

It's fine. It's fine!

I have All Might with me.

All right!

You swallowed the hair, right?

I don't feel any different, though...

Of course not!

What do you think the stomach does?

Well, you'll feel something in two or three hours.

I'm so nervous...

I need to hurry back, take a shower, and eat breakfast.

You have become a proper vessel, but it was one that was made in a hurry.

You didn't even get to take it for a test drive...

Prepare yourself for the physical repercussions it'll have on your body.

Huh?

I don't have time to explain in detail, so I'll just tell you this.

When you use my Quirk, One For All, squeeze your buttocks and yell this inside your heart—

"S—"

One point!

Target acquired.

I'll kill you!

It's coming!

It's coming! It's coming!

Huh?

Why can't I move?

Idiot, why?!

Thanks for distracting it!

A laser?

Merci!

We made a good team.

But... I don't think we'll meet again.

Adieu!

We won't meet again...?

Six minutes and two seconds left!

Oh no! Oh no!

Oh no!

Points...

I need points fast!

The nice person!

Release!

That's twenty-eight points...!

What? Twenty-eight?

Forty-five points!

Forty-five?!

That's thirty-two!

That one's mine! Don't take it!

It's first-come, first-served!

The number of enemies is decreasing fast!

Oh no!

In this practical exam, the examinees have not been informed of the number of villains or their locations.

They have a limited amount of time in a vast area.

They have to draw the villains out from there.

Information gathering ability to understand the situation before anyone else.

Mobility that can be used in many different circumstances.

Discernment to be able to stay calm in any situation.

And pure combat ability.

These basic abilities needed to keep the peace in the streets are turned into points in this test.

Doesn't this year's group look promising?

Well, we can't know for sure yet.

Their true test is still to come.

An obstacle that will go crazy in narrow spaces.

I recommend that you listeners try to avoid it.

Isn't it a little too big?

An overwhelming threat.

How people act after they have seen this shows their true nature.

This isn't funny!

I have to run away!

I'll get points as I run...

Shoot, shoot, shoot, I'm still at zero points!

Less than two minutes left!

Two minutes?!

It'll be wasted.

Everything All Might gave me...

...will be wasted!

Ow!

It'd be bad luck if you fell, right?

There is absolutely no merit in taking on that faux villain.

But that creates the opportunity...

...for it to shine brightly...

...and rise to the surface.

Squeeze your buttocks...

...and yell this inside your heart—

...and yell this inside your heart—

Smash...!

That's right.

It rises to the surface—

The most important qualification of a hero—

The spirit of self-sacrifice!

The conditions are the same as when I tried to save Kacchan.

But it's different.

This time—

One minute left!

Wait, this is All Might's power.

I'm able to jump this high now.

Landing should be a piece of cake-cake-cake-cake...

"Break"?!

You have become a proper vessel, but it was one that was made in a hurry.

Prepare yourself tor the physical repercussions it'll have on your body.

Oh yeah!

I'm such an idiot!

A mere ten months was just barely enough time.

I can just barely hold this borrowed power.

I was being conceited for a second!

I've only been given the right to stand at the start line!

Think!

What to do? What to do?

Detroit Smash!

If I aim that move at the ground...!

Both my legs and my right arm are broken.

I only have my left arm!

And the timing—

If I'm too early or too late, I'll die!

Even if I succeed, I still won't have any points!

If I break my left arm, there's no way I'll pass!

Release...

I'm safe...

No, she saved me...

Is she all right?

She looks uninjured, at least...?

I'm so glad...
