Capítulo 34: Chapter 33: The Current Limit
At this moment, Iida couldn't sit still. He stood up, walked over to Bakugo, and shouted, "Don't put your feet on the desk!"
"Huh?" Bakugo sneered, his sharp eyes glaring at the boy in glasses who dared to challenge him.
"It's disrespectful! To U.A.'s seniors and the people who made these desks!" Iida continued with a serious expression, his sense of justice overpowering any fear he might've had.
Bakugo, who was already irritated, found this comical. He laughed in disbelief. It was rare for him to meet someone so straightforward who wasn't afraid of him.
"Don't give me that crap!"
"And who do you think you are, huh? What school did you even come from, huh?! Some extra middle school?!" Bakugo taunted, his eyes flashing with disdain.
"I..."
Before Iida could respond, Kaminari, who had been silently watching this exchange, couldn't take it anymore. Bakugo's arrogance was grating on his nerves. He wasn't used to seeing this level of rudeness, especially from someone aiming to become a professional hero.
He interjected, his tone calm but firm. "Does it matter where he graduated from? He told you to put your feet down. Cut the nonsense and listen. Or do you not understand simple nihon? Maybe you have some kind of defect?"
"You bastard!" Bakugo's temper flared as he locked eyes with Kaminari, his hands instinctively curling inward, ready to ignite his Quirk.
"What? Not happy about it?" Kaminari shot back, completely unfazed.
Without hesitation, Tetsutetsu stood up, his fists clenched. He cracked his knuckles and smirked, stepping up beside Kaminari. "If you don't like it, tough luck. Hold it in!"
"You want to die?" Bakugo growled, his eyes darkening as he stood up, ready to escalate the situation further.
Die? Kaminari's eyes narrowed at the word. This guy's aggression was completely out of place. Was he really aspiring to be a Hero? His entire attitude seemed more fitting for a villain.
Kaminari didn't feel like backing down, but he also knew that fights weren't allowed. Still, he was confident that if things came to blows, Tetsutetsu would hold his own.
Before anything could happen, Kaminari noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head slightly and saw a green-haired boy standing hesitantly at the door. The tension in the room shifted as more people took notice of him.
Bakugo's expression changed the moment he spotted the boy. His lips curled in a sneer, but after a moment, he grumbled something under his breath and sat back down, shooting Tetsutetsu a warning glance.
For whatever reason, seeing that green-haired boy had made Bakugo back down. His feet didn't go back up on the desk either.
With the situation diffused, Iida, ever the representative of proper behavior, quickly went over to greet the green-haired boy. Soon after, a cheerful girl with brown hair—Uraraka Ochaco joined them.
But Kaminari's focus shifted. He was waiting for the person who mattered the most in this moment: their teacher.
And then, the door creaked open again. But this time, what Kaminari saw was… unexpected.
A man in a yellow sleeping bag, lying on the floor, made his way into the classroom. His movements were sluggish, his hair disheveled, and his eyes half-closed as if he'd just woken up.
"If you're here to mess around or make friends, go do it somewhere else," he said in a monotone voice, not even bothering to stand up properly. "This is the Hero Course."
"..."
The class fell into an awkward silence. They didn't know what to make of this strange sight.
"It took eight seconds for you all to shut up," the man muttered as he finally stood up, emerging from the sleeping bag with an exhausted expression. "That's way too long. You're all unreasonable."
Kaminari felt a twinge of disappointment. This was their homeroom teacher? He had been expecting someone more… dynamic. This guy looked like he could barely be bothered to be here. Kaminari couldn't help but wonder if this teacher even had the energy to fight.
"I am your homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota," the man finally introduced himself in a low, lazy voice.
Most of the class exchanged uneasy glances. This wasn't the kind of hero teacher they'd imagined. Hadn't they heard that All Might would be teaching at U.A.? Shouldn't their class, being the top Hero course, have someone like him as their teacher?
But Aizawa didn't seem to care about their internal doubts. He pulled a bag from his shoulder, rummaging through it before pulling out blue and white tracksuits.
"Don't waste time. Put these on and meet me at the training ground."
---
Ten minutes later, the class gathered on the empty playground. It wasn't that the students were slow to change, but the boys and girls had to take turns using the indoor changing rooms. The girls, naturally, took a bit more time.
Kaminari had noticed something during the break. A short boy, barely over a meter tall, had been lurking near the girls' changing room, trying to eavesdrop with a perverted grin on his face.
This "purple grape" boy had definitely left an impression on Kaminari, though he didn't know his name yet. He was curious about what kind of Quirk this kid had to match such a sleazy personality.
Once everyone was gathered in their sportswear, Aizawa, who had been standing around looking like he was about to fall asleep, finally addressed them.
"Today's lesson is a Quirk Apprehension Test," he announced bluntly.
Uraraka, who had been looking forward to the entrance ceremony, let out a disappointed groan. But Aizawa shut down her complaint without hesitation.
"If you want to become a pro hero, there's no time for pointless ceremonies," he said coldly.
"I see," Kaminari thought. "So, the reason we haven't seen anyone on the playground is because everyone else went to the entrance ceremony."
It was becoming clear that Aizawa's teaching style was no-nonsense. And honestly, Kaminari liked it. He had always hated long, boring ceremonies.
Aizawa explained the premise of the test. Unlike the usual physical tests they had done in middle school, this time, they would be using their Quirks to push their abilities to the limit.
There were eight events in total:
Ball throw, standing long jump, 50-meter dash, endurance run, grip strength, repeated side jumps, sit-ups, and a forward bend.
Though the exercises were familiar, Kaminari felt a surge of excitement. Using their Quirks to test basic abilities? This was a chance to see what everyone else's powers were, and he was eager to see how his classmates would perform.
His thoughts wandered again, imagining the possibilities. Maybe there was someone like Tetsutetsu with Quirks akin to the X-Men from his previous life. That would be pretty cool.
But his train of thought was cut off when Aizawa suddenly called his name.
"Kaminari Denki. You came in first during the practical exam, correct?"
"Yes," Kaminari replied confidently, noticing Bakugo's irritated expression at being outdone by him.
"How far could you throw a ball in junior high school?"
"Seventy-two meters," Kaminari answered nonchalantly.
He wasn't boasting, he'd worked hard for those results. After years of consistent training, his physical fitness was well above average. He might not have Tetsutetsu's raw strength, but compared to the other students, he was sure he'd hold his own.
"Seventy-two meters…" Bakugo scoffed under his breath, clearly unhappy. His own record was 67 meters, and he didn't understand how Kaminari, who didn't seem particularly strong, could throw farther than him.
But Bakugo didn't know that Kaminari had been training for almost a decade. If he did, he'd probably be even more upset.
"Now, use your Quirk and try again," Aizawa instructed, handing Kaminari the ball.
Kaminari stepped up to the white circle that marked the throwing position. Everyone's eyes were on him.
"Alright, let's see what my limit is!" Kaminari muttered to himself as he focused his energy.
"High-Speed Movement, activate!"
Electricity crackled to life, enveloping Kaminari in golden arcs of lightning. The air around him buzzed with energy, and his cells fired into action as the current surged, especially around his right arm.
The power radiating from him increased steadily, and the current on his arm intensified as he prepared to throw.
With everyone watching closely, Kaminari took a deep breath.
And then…

Capítulo 35: Chapter 34:Todoroki Shoto vs. Kaminari Denki
*Crack!*
As Kaminari swung his arm with precision, the ball in his grip shot into the air, enveloped in golden arcs of electricity. It streaked across the sky like a glowing meteor, leaving a dazzling trail of light behind. The ball flew higher and farther, pushed by the force of Kaminari's electric-enhanced muscles.
Everyone watched in awe as the ball soared until the electric current fizzled out, and gravity pulled it back down to Earth.
"412.7 meters!" Aizawa announced calmly, holding up the rangefinder for everyone to see. "This is how you figure out your limits."
In his mind, however, Aizawa was analyzing Kaminari's Quirk usage with keen interest. "Stimulating his muscles with electricity to boost physical strength… it's an interesting approach," Aizawa mused silently. "The control he demonstrated, channeling that electricity into his throw, he's definitely trained for this."
Meanwhile, the students erupted into a mixture of gasps and excited chatter, the impressive distance Kaminari achieved sparking their admiration.
"Whoa! No way! Over 400 meters?!"
"This is so awesome! We get to use our Quirks freely!"
"Being in the Hero course is seriously cool!"
Their excited outbursts, however, didn't go unnoticed by Aizawa, who gave them a sharp look.
"Fun, huh?" His voice was low, but it cut through the chatter, catching everyone's attention.
"Huh?" Midoriya and the others blinked, confused.
"If you think this is all just fun and games, you're in for a rude awakening." Aizawa's tone suddenly turned cold. "Do you really think you'll become pro heroes with that mindset?"
The class fell silent, tension rippling through the air as Aizawa continued.
"If that's your attitude, I might as well let you know right now… the student who ranks last in this test will be expelled."
"What?!" The collective shock from the class was immediate. Even Kaminari, Todoroki, and Tokoyami couldn't help but stare in disbelief.
"Is he serious? Expelling someone on the first day?" Kaminari's thoughts raced. He couldn't shake the feeling that this was similar to something a certain masked ninja from his past life would do. "Wait, what if he's not kidding?"
His expression turned serious, and he noticed other students like Todoroki and Yaoyorozu doing the same. Clearly, some of them were realizing the gravity of Aizawa's words.
Aizawa smirked slightly, lifting the long strands of hair that usually obscured his eyes. "Welcome," he said, his tone both mocking and challenging, "to the Hero Course of U.A. High School."
Uraraka Ochaco, who had been silently brimming with excitement for the entrance ceremony, couldn't hold back her frustration. "That's just not fair!" she protested, voicing what many others were likely feeling. "It's only our first day!"
Kaminari shared her sentiment, but something told him there was no point in arguing. He had a gut feeling that if Aizawa said he could expel someone, then it was within the school's rules to allow it.
Around him, other students seemed to realize the same thing. Yaoyorozu, Tokoyami, and Todoroki all remained silent, their expressions serious. They knew this was no time for complaints.
Aizawa's voice cut through again, this time softer but no less intense. "Natural disasters, major accidents, rampaging villains, these kinds of unreasonable situations can happen anywhere, at any time. That's the world we live in now."
He didn't need to raise his voice for the impact of his words to hit home. The weight of his message settled on the group, and the once-enthusiastic atmosphere turned somber.
"And the ones who stand in the way of all these disasters are heroes," Aizawa continued. "If you're hoping to coast through these next three years without pushing your limits, then you're in the wrong place."
The students, now fully silent, felt the immense pressure that came with the title of "Professional Hero." Aizawa's gaze swept across them before he concluded with one final statement.
"The road to becoming a pro hero is paved with suffering, and U.A. will give you plenty of it. You're either moving forward or falling behind. That's the reality." His eyes gleamed slightly as he added, "So remember this—Plus Ultra."
Kaminari wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he could've sworn Aizawa's usually tired demeanor brightened a little when he said those last two words. Whether it was excitement or something else, Kaminari wasn't sure. But what he was sure of was that he had made the right choice by coming to U.A.
There was no doubt everything from now on would be beyond anything he had ever experienced before.
"Let's get started." Aizawa signaled the beginning of the Quirk Apprehension Test. "First up: the 50-meter dash."
---
"Ready… go!"
*Pffft!*
With the sound of the starting signal, Iida Tenya rocketed forward, leaving a cloud of dust behind him. His glasses were off, and his face was set in concentration. His engines roared as he sped toward the finish line, his powerful Quirk propelling him far ahead of Asui Tsuyu, who was leaping along behind him.
"3.04 seconds!" came the result.
"Whoa! His Quirk is insane!" Kaminari couldn't help but be impressed, especially at the sight of the exhaust vents on Iida's legs. It was such a unique and fascinating ability.
Next up were Uraraka Ochaco, Aoyama Yuga, Shoto Todoroki, and Bakugo Katsuki. Kaminari watched each of them closely, observing their Quirks with interest.
From the explosion-fueled speed of Bakugo to the gleaming laser of Aoyama, each student demonstrated abilities that were impressive in their own right. Kaminari mentally noted their quirks, already thinking about how they might compare to his own electric powers.
"Final group: Todoroki Shoto and Kaminari Denki," Aizawa called out.
Kaminari blinked in surprise as his name was called. His competition would be Todoroki? He hadn't interacted with him much yet, but from what he had seen, Todoroki exuded a quiet, confident aura.
Unknown to Kaminari, Aizawa had grouped them together on purpose. He wanted to see how the top scorer from the practical exam would match up against Todoroki, who had been accepted through recommendations. Both had been trained in their Quirks for years, and Aizawa was curious to see whose abilities would shine brighter in a speed test.
As Kaminari and Todoroki lined up at the starting line, neither seemed particularly phased. They exchanged a brief glance but otherwise remained calm. Despite the competitive atmosphere, neither felt especially pressured by the matchup.
But those watching felt differently.
"Kaminari's going to win! Speed is his thing!" Tetsutetsu declared, confident as always, with his hands still in his pockets.
"Yeah, he's super fast," Jiro agreed, recalling the lightning- speed she had experienced firsthand.
But their conversation caught the attention of Yaoyorozu Momo, who overheard them and decided to chime in. "You guys clearly don't know about Todoroki's abilities, do you?"
"Huh?" Tetsutetsu and Jiro both turned to look at her, curious about what she meant.
Yaoyorozu crossed her arms, her gaze drifting toward Todoroki. "Shoto Todoroki is the strongest recommended student this year."
Tetsutetsu frowned, not fully convinced. "So, what's his Quirk?"
"Ice," Yaoyorozu explained simply. "He can create and control ice."
"Ice, huh?" Tetsutetsu mused, rubbing his chin. "It sounds powerful, sure, but how does that make him faster than Kaminari? Kaminari's speed is no joke!"
Yaoyorozu didn't respond directly but instead shrugged, her expression calm. "You'll see soon enough. Todoroki's training with his Quirk is on a whole other level."
As the two boys stood ready at the starting line, Kaminari glanced sideways at Todoroki. There was a quiet intensity in Todoroki's demeanor, but Kaminari wasn't fazed. He was confident in his speed.
"Everyone, get ready!" came Aizawa's voice, giving the two competitors their cue to prepare.
Kaminari focused, the familiar crackle of electricity dancing across his body as he activated his high-speed movement. The golden arcs of lightning began to swirl around him, charging his muscles for a burst of speed.
Next to him, Todoroki's calm gaze didn't waver. A thin layer of frost began to form on the ground beneath his feet, signaling the activation of his ice-based Quirk.
"Ready… go!"
*Ksssh!*
*Crack!*
In an instant, Kaminari and Todoroki launched forward, moving almost in unison. Kaminari's body surged with electricity, propelling him forward in a golden blur, while Todoroki's ice coated the ground in front of him, creating a slick path for him to glide across effortlessly.
