Arriving at the school grounds, we made a group and waited for instructions.

"You kids have been doing these physical tests since junior high, too, right? Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your Quirks. The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their Quirks. It is not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating."

He then looked towards me, "Midoriya, you finished at the top of the Practical Exam, right? In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?" Aizawa asked.

"133 meters," I replied

"..."

"....Then, try doing it with your Quirk." Aizawa said as he threw a softball towards me, which I caught with ease. "You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle. Hurry up. Give it all you've got."

I walked to the circle as I began stretching to loosen up my muscles. I then covered almost the entirety of my body with armament, focusing on the muscle groups that would help me put maximum force into my throw. I could feel the wind blowing in rhythm with my armament as it rippled around my body. Stomping my left foot forward, I swung my right arm in an arc and released the ball at an angle that promised maximum distance the ball could cover.

Breaking the sound barrier, the ball flew at blinding speed and kept going beyond what our eyes could see.

"Know your own maximum first," Aizawa said as the device in his hand-measured the distance. "That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a Hero." He held up his phone as it read 5396 meters.

Class 1-A gasped in shock.

"5400 meters? Seriously?" said a blonde student with a black electric bolt mark in his hair.

"What's this? It looks fun!" said a pink-skinned girl with yellow horns and yellow eyes.

"We can use our Quirks as much as we want! As expected from the Hero Course!"

"It looks fun, huh?" Aizawa said ominously. "You have three years to become a Hero. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time? All right. Whoever comes in the last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion."

"HUH?!" Most of the students of Class 1-A shouted.

'Punished with expulsion?! If you get last place in all eight tests?' I thought as I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then I understood what he was trying to do. As long as one wasn't last in all of the tests, they won't be expelled. So they just had to do better than one out of twenty to stay.

"We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students. Welcome to U.A.'s Hero Course!" Aizawa said as he moved his hair out of the way, showing his freaky smirking face.

Uraraka spoke up, "Last place will be expelled? But it's the first day of school! No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair!"

"Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish Villains. Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. Japan is covered with unfairness. Heroes are the ones who must bear the responsibility of balancing that unfairness. If you planned to go talk with your friends at the local McDonald's after school, then you're sadly mistaken. For the next three years, U.A. will do all it can to give you one hardship after another. Go beyond. Plus Ultra. Overcome it with all you've got!"

Iida Tenya took out his water bottle and began to drink, 'This is too serious to be hazing. However, this is the best of the best. There is no choice but to do it.'

'Oh, I can't wait to blast everything in my path!' Bakugo thought

"All right, the demonstration is over. The real thing starts now…. "
