The prestigious school that turned out many heroes, U.A. High School.
Enrolled in their hero course, I continue to run toward my dream,
standing up to any difficulties and saving people with a smile...
...in order to become the greatest hero!
I know what I have to do now
It's my life one and only
Even if I wipe my tears thousands of times, they won't stop
I never expected my days to be easy
Follow my way, take me to frustration
Follow my way, I'll aim for beyond that
I want to celebrate deep emotion rather than the mundane when I dream
I know what I have to do now
In the midst of all these possible lives
I've found the correct one
Make my story
Because I'm the only me
I want to always live my life with feelings like promise and resolve
I'm sure days will come when I'll feel like crying
I want to make a path that'll let me move forward when I look back on times like that
"Three Weeks Earlier"
"Planning Meeting for Provisional Licensing Exam" "Heroes Public Safety Commission"
Ball throwing?
That seems too much like a game...
Is it really all right?
The real test will be how they deal with the chaos caused by it.
We want to see if they will be able to use their Quirks and make decisions
quickly and correctly in a crisis.
And it's the same for the second exam?
At this rate, we'll be evaluating not their individual abilities,
but their ability to work in a group.
This was a proposal from the National Police Agency--
A revision of the evaluation criteria and requirements for granting licenses.
It's effectively an order.
Assuming that all examinees have knowledge of basic emergency procedures and first aid,
we were told to focus on their attitudes toward cooperation.
Cooperation, huh?
This has become necessary.
All Might was at the top in everything--strength and charisma.
There was always a large gap between him and the number two hero.
It will be hard to find someone else as charismatic as him.
Rather than waiting for the next All Might,
we should fill that hole with an army of heroes with a strong sense of unity.
The proposal this time is like a foothold into that.
The second test of the provisional hero licensing exam...
Rescuing people who were in a large-scale terrorist attack
and dealing with the villain behind the attack.
What's that?!
Rescuing and fighting!
Can you do everything at the same time?
Gang Orca...!
During the League of Villains search-and-destroy operation in Camino Ward,
he was brought out among the ranks of heroes like Endeavor and Best Jeanist.
He's strong, you know.
Villains have appeared and started their pursuit!
Hero candidates at the scene should continue their rescue efforts
while also suppressing the villains.
Continue rescue efforts while fighting?!
Jeez, are they serious?!
Aren't they expecting a little too much?!
This situation would be difficult even for a pro.
To go this far for the provisional license...
Now...
What'll you do?
Fight, or protect?
Help, or run?
What will you do, heroes?!
"What's the Big Idea?"
"Mountain Zone"
Villains?
"Mountain Zone"
Look, right in front of the first-aid station!
Oh, no!
I can't believe they'd send out villains so close!
They're so mean!
There are still a lot of people to rescue here,
but we can't just ignore what's going on over there...
Yeah...
For this second test, everyone starts off with a certain number of points,
and then they're graded based on how many they lose.
H.U.C. evaluates whether or not they are acting properly in their rescue,
and besides that--
for example--
considering whether or not you've put yourself in a position to best use your own Quirk--
looking at the big picture comprised of the scoring manual and the examinees' data
are one hundred employees of the Public Safety Commission
scoring each person individually.
Examinees fail when their total score falls below fifty points.
"Fail" Examinees fail when their total score falls below fifty points.
Please do your best to make the right decisions.
Get everyone to safety!
SHINDO?!
Toward the back!
Get them as far away from the villains as possible!
R-Right!
I'll keep hammering away at them with tremors at one-second intervals!
I won't let them get close!
Not good enough.
Gang Orca...!
Is he going all out?
I wonder...
SHINDO!
Only a single rear guard when there's this much of a difference in ability?
Looks like you were underestimating us.
"Gang Orca - Quirk: Orcinus" Looks like you were underestimating us.
"Gang Orca - Quirk: Orcinus"
Gang Orca! Quirk: Orcinus.
"Gang Orca - Quirk: Orcinus"
He can do things an Orca can do even on land.
One of those is an ultrasonic wave attack that can paralyze!
Todoroki!
Midoriya, are you evacuating?
We'll help!
Todoroki's so fast!
Where were you guys?
By the water over there!
Everyone headed to the city first, so we went where they didn't have enough people.
But after seeing the villains come out in full force over here, we came to help!
Yaoyorozu and Asui are still back there continuing the rescue.
An attack like this is nothing!
As expected of the number ten hero.
Wind...
Blow away...!
A villain attack?
You guys have prepared some pretty hot developments!
That's the guy who turned down U.A.!
This is good. We should keep evacuating now that the strong attackers have gathered!
Right!
Prioritizing the first-aid station--the cornerstone of the rescue efforts--
That was very wise...
In fact, with their strong all-encompassing Quirks,
Yoarashi and Todoroki were the best for the job.
"Provisional Licensing Exam" "Second Test Scoring Sheet"
Good job!
"Provisional Licensing Exam" "Second Test Scoring Sheet"
To arrive at the same time as you...
I hate you guys.
That's my line.
Everything you say is a distraction.
Why don't you go help with evacuating the first-aid station?
That works with your Quirk, right?
I'll take care of this.
Here they come.
Huh? What're they aiming at?
Why'd you use your flames?!
The heat makes the wind rise!
Because the ice was blocked earlier!
Didn't you do that on purpose?
Your wind blew away my flames!
You're the one who did it on purpose to keep me from getting all the glory!
Huh? Why would I do that?!
Why wouldn't you?
I mean, you're the son of that Endeavor!
What the hell's been wrong with you this whole time?!
My old man has nothing to do with it--
Cement Gun!
It'll harden up real fast and make it hard for you to move.
This is outrageous! I can't believe you two would start arguing here.
What do you mean, it has nothing to do with him?
It definitely does!
To me, heroes are passionate!
With their passionate hearts, they bring hope and inspiration to people!
Their passion comes through!
You're in the way.
Don't get in my way.
That's why it was a shock!
Because nothing came through in those eyes except a cold, cold anger!
And then, at the entrance exam,
I saw you, and I knew who you were immediately.
Because you...
You're in the way.
...had the exact same eyes!
The same...?
That's ridiculous.
I'm not the same as him.
That's enough. Stop listening to him.
What it comes down to is that he's an Endeavor hater.
Focus on the test...
Don't lose your cool.
You've already overcome your relationship with the old man.
No...
There's still some hate toward him...
This is no good... Focus on the test!
What are you doing with a villain in front of you?
Man...
You and your dad are the only heroes
I won't accept no matter what!
The end!
Focus...
Again?!
You really are...
The wind's sending the flames...!
What... are you doing?!
I've never been afraid of anything, ever since I was a kid.
Oh, it's so fast and cool!
I like this bug!
I liked anything and everything.
That's why, the minute I knew what a hero was, I was fired up.
Tackling crises in front of them with everything they had--
That passion!
That's why I didn't like that hero.
Just that hero...
...with those eyes that seemed to hate something far ahead of him.
He was the only thing that I hated.
Okay, the written test of the recommendation entrance exam is over!
Next is the practical exam, and last will be the interview!
You'll go six at a time for the practical.
Go to the exam location when your number's called!
The exam will be a 3-kilometer race.
But it's a course that you won't be able to finish if you just run.
Use your Quirks freely to reach the finish line!
The best hero school in Japan...
The most passionate high school life in Japan is waiting for me!
Making a path of ice to move! He's fast!
I really didn't like his eyes,
but his abilities are super hot!
He'll probably be accepted.
Well, if I use this chance to make friends with him,
maybe his eyes won't bother me anymore!
By a hair! Number 41 finishes first!
And it's three minutes faster than the average for a normal year!
All right! I won!
But who knows what'll happen next time?!
You're amazing!
Are you Endeavor's kid or something?
That's amazing!
Shut up.
I just have to pass this test.
I wasn't competing with you or anything.
He's not looking.
You're in the way.
It's like he hates something... far ahead of him...
What... are you doing?!
Hard to believe they're from top schools.
It's too bad, but those two are probably...
A Quirk using wind...
That's right... He was in my way...
It was him... I'm sure of it...
Why didn't I remember him right away?
He's so loud and obnoxious...
I didn't really see him...
In order to reject that bastard...
I couldn't think about anything else...
...I forgot about you.
Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing...
Whether it is correct or not...
I just let it go without knowing for sure...
Is this where it comes back?
My past... and my blood...
I can't just bury it and forget about it, huh?
First...
I'll take care of the wind that's in the way!
Shoot!
Impact!
It's a teamwork play between us and the boss!
I'll harden up all the examinees nice and solid!
Oh, no! My control's...!
Hey!
You reap what you sow.
There was some distance between us, so it wasn't as effective, huh?
While the boss is at it, let's go mess up the evacuation shelter!
All right!
Shit...
Damn it...
What... are you doing?!
Seriously!
I've become what I hated.
The things I did in the past caused this situation...
I...
...have to fix this!
Oh no, they're going to get through!
They're coming this way!
At this distance, it'll be bad if I don't make a front line!
Get out of the way!
SHINDO!
I thought you couldn't move because of the orca's ultrasonic waves!
Well, my extremities are still pretty numb,
but sound waves and vibrations...
My brains get shaken pretty much every day from the recoil of my own Quirk.
So I've built up some tolerance to them...
Anyway...
I was trying to get a surprise attack in with that to begin with!
And then those two first years...!
His personality's...
I've stopped them.
Put 'em out of action!
Split up and get the remaining injured to shelter!
Right!
Now...
Shall I take down that wind-user
and go help those guys?
Competing with each other in vain...
We're not compatible at all...
And we've got zero teamwork...
There's no way we could beat a top hero like this.
If you feel the same way I do...
The heat makes the wind rise!
From the bottom...
...scoop it out!
I'm so numb that I can't put any strength in it...
But...
...I have to do this!
With flames...
...and wind...
...we'll trap you!
Even though he didn't move his body...!
His power and accuracy have decreased,
but the paralysis didn't have enough effect.
He's able to just barely control his Quirk.
On the other hand, Todoroki, who can't move at all,
is covering for Yoarashi's lack of strength by adding his flames...
This won't make their foolishness earlier disappear...
...but it's not bad.
The ground gets packed down after a storm.
They realized their mistake,
and they're trying to make up for it.
I don't dislike that kind of struggling.
Hey, behind you!
The boss is trapped by a spiral of flame!
Isn't this bad?
The boss is like an Orca, so he's super weak to drying out!
Forget the wind! Stop the flames!
What?!
Todoroki! He's using both his left and right...!
Simultaneous activation of left and right...
I need to practice more.
It slows me down.
If I can't move...
...then it doesn't matter!
Should we go back and help?
No, wait!
Smash...!
Defeat the villains!
Shoot! Shoot!
I'll borrow this!
Ojiro!
All the injured have been evacuated!
Reinforcements will be here soon!
The rescue of the H.U.C., who were on standby...
They just have three people left before they're done...
The test will end at that point.
Do your best to hold them off until then.
I can sleep soon...!
Ojiro! Midoriya!
We're here to help!
Mow them all down at once!
Freeze them all in place!
Ribbit!
Asui--I mean, Tsu!
When'd you get here?!
I polished up my frog skills and finally reached a level I could use in combat--
Camouflage! It's my new move.
Asui! Are you done with the search and rescue already?
Pretty much.
Ribbit! Look out!
Shiketsu High School!
I sent Inasa here,
but it's a disgrace to the Shiketsu name for there to be so many left!
So strong!
Yes.
Let's go, too!
A hot wind prison of flame and wind, huh?
It's a good idea.
A normal villain would give up,
cry, and beg for forgiveness.
But what if they didn't?
After playing a hand, you need to already be planning the next one.
Well? What's next?
Nothing.
Please get away from those two!
Midoriya!
You're... always...
Um, at this moment,
all the H.U.C. who were deployed have been rescued from the danger zone.
Huh? Right now?
That was us, then!
It may seem arbitrary,
but with this, all the provisional licensing exam procedures have been completed.
We're done?!
After we tally the scores,
we will announce the results here.
Those who were injured should go to the infirmary.
The rest of you should change and then stand by.
Boss, sorry, we couldn't do our job...
These restraining protectors really make it hard to move, huh?
No, even without the protectors,
the spiral of flame was excellent.
And with Midoriya's surprise attack after the damage from drying out...
If the test had gone on longer...
Or...
Okay... Everyone, thanks for all your hard work...
Now, I will announce the results,
but before that, I will tell you about the scoring system.
Between those of us at the Heroes Public Safety Commission and H.U.C.,
we had a two-fold demerit system we used while watching you.
In other words, we were evaluating you on how few mistakes you made
in a crisis situation.
Anyway, the names of those who passed are listed in syllabary order.
Please check the list keeping those words in mind.
"Ba-dump Ba-dump Ba-dump"
Mi... Mi...
"Ba-dump Ba-dump Ba-dump"
Mi...
"Ba-dump Ba-dump Ba-dump"
The more we walk, the dirtier the soles of our shoes get
In the same way, our souls develop shadows as they're worn down
In times like that, remember why you can't give up
I thought I saved you, but think I was saved instead
I thought I grabbed your hand, but you actually grabbed mine
Let there be light on all of our journeys
I can't speak of strength or weakness
Each step you took forward was a victory for your bravery
Like inhaling in order to shout, an approach is needed to jump high
In order to laugh, we cried, and that's not called defeat
Longhope Philia
"Preview"
Here's the preview!
"Preview"
They have finally announced who passed.
There were those who passed and those who failed.
This doesn't mean everything is over.
My dream of becoming a hero is only just starting to be realized.
The night the exam ended,
I was suddenly called out by Kacchan.
Next time, "A Talk about Your Quirk."
I can't talk about One For All.
But...
"Next time: A Talk about Your Quirk"
Go beyond!
"Next time: A Talk about Your Quirk"
