My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

It was only a short time, but thank you for taking care of me!

"Pro Hero - Gran Torino - Quirk: Jet"

I don't feel like I did anything I need to be thanked for.

Your internship ended up the way it did, too.

No, it was thanks to your instruction in ideas and your continuous sparring with me

"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"

that I was able to do something even against the hero killer.

Ow...!

Against a hero killer that wasn't serious!

Well, it was better than if you tried for a single killer shot at 100%

and then ended up missing, I guess I should say.

But that arm had stress fractures, didn't it?

At the last minute, you went over the permitted 5% limit.

"Nag Nag Nag"

You still strain yourself in your impatience,

and when you lose focus, your control wavers.

You must always be alert and calm.

I'm sure you already know this,

but if you want to become a great hero like All Might,

then you still have a lot to learn.

Yes, sir!

See you around.

C-Can I ask you o-one last thing?

I thought it was rude, so I never got a chance to ask...

I could never find a good time for it, but...

Hurry up! I want to eat taiyaki!

Even though you're really strong and even trained All Might,

the name "Gran Torino" is almost u-unknown...

Is there a reason for that?

Oh, that's because I was never interested in working as a hero.

What?!

I had a goal in the past that required me to be able to use my Quirk freely.

That was the only reason I got my license.

It'd be better to hear more about this from Toshi--

I mean, All Might. Expect more from him.

All Might...

That's all! Be well!

Yes, sir!

Thank you very much! Excuse me!

The greatest hero, huh...?

You're completely different in appearance and personality,

but he certainly is just like you, Toshinori.

The man chosen by my sworn friend...

And the one that man chose to inherit One For All...

Kid!

Who are you?

You're asking now?!

Um, well... I'm Izuku Midor--

That's not it, is it?

Huh...?

I'm Deku!

Let's watch over him together, Toshinori.

Until the day you pass into history...

Until the day the name "Deku" is celebrated as the Symbol of Peace...

"Listen Up!! A Tale from the Past"

Seriously?! Seriously, Bakugo?!

Stop laughing!

My hair's gotten used to it, so it won't go back even after I wash it!

"Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"

Hey, stop laughing!

I'll kill you!

"Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape" "Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"

I'd like to see you try, Side-Part Boy!

What'd you say?!

It's back!

Wow, you even got to fight villains?

"Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"

I'm so jealous!

"Kyoka Jiro - Quirk: Earphone Jack"

I just helped people evacuate and did logistical support,

so I didn't do any actual fighting, though.

It's still amazing, though!

"Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"

All I did was train and go on patrols, too.

There was just one time when we caught smugglers from a neighboring country.

That's crazy!

What about you, Ochaco? How was your week?

"Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"

It was very worthwhile...

Ochaco's awakened, huh?

She went to that battle hero's place, right?

That's a huge change for just one week...

"Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off" "Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"

Change? That's not it, Kaminari.

Women are all demons. They're just hiding their true personalities.

What did you see at Mt. Lady's place?!

I was kind of fawned over and had a good time.

But the ones who changed the most, or at least went through the most

"Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine" "Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"

were you three, right?

Oh, yeah! The hero killer!

I'm glad you guys made it out alive! Seriously.

"Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"

I was worried.

I heard Endeavor saved you, right?

That's amazing! As expected from the number two hero!

Yeah. He saved us.

"Toru Hagakure - Quirk: Invisibility"

Yeah.

I saw on the news

that the hero killer was connected to the League of Villains.

"Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush" "Mashirao Ojiro - Quirk: Tail" "Mezo Shoji - Quirk: Dupli-Arms"

Imagining someone that scary coming to USJ freaks me out.

He is scary, but did you see the video, Ojiro?

Video? You mean of the hero killer?

Yeah.

Seeing that, you can see how he's really single-minded and, like, tenacious.

"Hero Killer: Stain. Real name: Chizome Akaguro. All Might's debut left a deep impression on him, and he set his sights on becoming a hero."

"He enrolled in a private hero high school"

Doesn't it almost make you think he's cool?

"but was disappointed in the fundamentally depraved view of heroes taught by the educational system. He dropped out..."

Kaminari!

Huh?

Oh, Ii--

Sorry!

No, it's fine.

It's true that he was tenacious.

I understand how people could think he's cool.

But he chose purging as a result of his beliefs.

No matter what he thinks, that part is definitely wrong.

In order to keep anyone else from turning out like me,

I will once again walk on the path to becoming a hero!

Yeah, Iida!

Now, it is time to commence class!

Everyone, take your seats!

He's so loud...

It's 'cause you talked about weird stuff, Kaminari!

Sorry about that.

Until I become a true hero,

I think I want to leave my left hand as it is.

You're cool, Iida!

Okay, I am here.

Anyway, we'll start now. Right. It's hero basic training!

Long time no see, boys and girls!

How've you been?

"Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"

For this time's hero basic training--

Since you've all just gotten back from your internships,

we'll have some fun with a rescue training race!

If we are doing rescue training, then shouldn't we do it at USJ?

That place is for training for disasters.

Do you remember what I said?

That's right! I said "race"!

This is Field Gamma!

A dense area filled with factories laid out like an intricate labyrinth.

You'll break up into four 5-person groups

and go through the training one group at a time.

When I send out a distress signal from somewhere inside,

you'll all start at once from the outskirts of the city!

It's a race to see who will rescue me first!

Of course, you'll have to keep damage to buildings to a minimum.

Don't point at me!

All right, first group, get in place!

Iida hasn't completely recovered yet, right?

He should just watch.

This group has everyone in the class with good mobility.

Hmm, perhaps Midoriya is at a slight disadvantage.

That's true. Honestly, I'm still not sure how good he is.

And whenever he does something, he always gets badly injured...

Who do you think'll win? I think Sero'll be first!

But Ojiro's there, too.

I think it'll be Ashido. She's really athletic!

Deku will be last!

Even if he's injured, I still think it'll be Iida.

Ribbit.

Okay, here we go!

Start!

"1st Place"

See, look!

In a place all jumbled together like this, it's standard practice to go up!

"Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow" "Koji Koda"

Which means, Sero's got an advantage since he's good in the air, huh?

Hey, isn't this place a little too perfect for me?

It's too perfect... for the training I did!

Wow, Midoriya?!

What's with those moves?

No way!

Yeah, now that I think about it, those moves are...

Wow! He's hopping... like...

My moves!

While I was spending my time uselessly at my internship...

Again...

Again...!

Midoriya's jumping?

His broken bones are already healed?

Calm down!

I can do this. Just calm down! Stay at 5%!

Always be alert and calm...

Huh?

Finish!

"Thanks for saving me"

Thank you! And congrats.

Thanks!

--I can't believe this! --Midoriya, are you all right?

I see, when jumping in an area with unstable footing,

I have to take where I'm jumping into consideration, too...

I have a lot to learn.

Young Sero came in first, but compared to the beginning of the year,

you've all gotten a lot better at using your Quirks.

Keep going like this and start preparing for your final exam!
