Bold and Underlined- Chapter Title

I did rewatch the episode for this, because I was feeling in the mood to get this part (mostly) the same as the show, especially the speech Aizawa gives (the part in the chapter where I started watching the episode is when we meet Aizawa). I also don't know what they're measuring with the side steps so that test (the fourth test) is going to be skipped. So... yeah. Enjoy and thank you for being patient

Class 1-A

He had gotten in with 100 points - 66 rescue and 34 villain. He's currently standing in front of the school, a small smile on his lips as he looks up at the building. He finally walks inside and goes to find his classroom, class 1-A. Supposedly, All Might is teaching at UA this year. This would be a great opportunity to learn from the best hero ever. He may never get a chance like this again. He stops in front of a large door with 1-A on it.

I wonder who will be in my class, Izuku wonders as he opens the door. He's immediately greeted with yelling.

"Get your feet off the desk you cretin!" It's the boy that stood during the explanation of the entrance exam.

"HAH!?" Of course- Bakugou got in. And also, of course, they share the same class once more. Izuku sighs internally, just watching the two boys as they argue. That is, until the boy- apparently named Tenya Iida- notices him. That's when Bakugou notice too, flinching and eyes growing wide. No one seems to notice the sudden change in the loud boy.

"My name is Tenya Iida from-" the boy starts, robot walking towards Izuku.

"I heard," Izuku says, voice dull and monotone. "My name is Izuku Midoriya."

"Oh, hey! It's you!" He hears from behind him. He turns to see the brunette he had helped during the exam. "I still can't believe how powerful you are!" Her energy is refreshing, but not something he's used to. He doesn't respond, letting her ramble. She's interrupted by a sound behind her. They both look to see a man with black hair, laying on the ground in a yellow sleeping bag. He sucks up a pouch of - who knows what, maybe applesauce. He then stands up, still in his sleeping bag.

"It took you 8 seconds to shut up, that won't do. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that," the man says as he unzips and steps out of his sleeping bag. He's wearing loose black clothing and some kind of scarf. "Hello class, my name is Shota Aizawa, your teacher." Everyone gapes at him. This disheveled man is our teacher? This thought crossed most- if not all- of the students minds. He pulls out a shirt from his sleeping bag. "I'm going to need all of you to change into these and head out to the field." With that, he gives everyone a set of clothes and leads them to the locker rooms.

"A quirk assessment test?!" Most of the class cries out as they stare at the man. "On the first day?!"

"But orientation, we're gonna miss it," the brunette is the one to speak up.

"If you really wanna make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies." The teacher doesn't even turn around to look at them. "Here at UA, we're not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class however I see fit. You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives. But you've never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country's still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day the ministry of education will learn." Shota is now facing the students, analyzing them. "Bakugou, you got the most villain points in the exam. What was your farthest distance throw with a softball when you were in junior high?"
