Chapter 67

Eijiro Kirishima and Rikido Sato pound through barrier after barrier, but Cementoss raises new ones as fast as they fall. Long fights, he tells them, are exactly where they break down, and he urges them past their limits. Tenya Ida and Mashirao Ojiro clear their own test elsewhere.

Ochaco Uraraka and Yuga Aoyama reach their gate, where Thirteen opens a Black Hole that leaves them clinging to a guardrail. Yuga fires his Navel Laser from his knees, a trick his costume permits, and the beams vanish into the vortex. As Ochaco works on a plan, Yuga guesses she is imagining what Izuku would do, then asks whether she likes him. The question lands hard enough that she flushes and lets go, and the suction drags her at Thirteen. Mezo Shoji and Toru Hagakure pass around the same time.

In the tent, Izuku and Recovery Girl turn to the Midnight match. Minoru Mineta keeps running while his opponent lounges at the gate with a sleeping Hanta Sero on her lap, which stokes his jealousy. Recovery Girl remarks that a boy without a concrete goal will struggle to survive at U.A. Meanwhile Ochaco makes the most of being pulled in close, using combat training picked up from Gunhead to cuff Thirteen and pass.

Hearing everyone clear the test, Minoru questions why he ever wanted this. Admiration, he thinks; he wanted to look cool. A whip cracks across him as Midnight abandons her post to chase. He starts to answer and stops, realizing an open mouth invites her aroma in. Still running, he admits school reshaped the ambition: the point is not being admired, it is genuinely being a cool hero. Midnight mocks him for fleeing. Then he reveals the fear and the running were the plan, meant to pull her from both the gate and Hanta. Charging with Hanta's tape sealing his mouth and nose, he answers her whip with Grape Rush, sticks her in place and slips past. Izuku and Recovery Girl praise the design. Minoru peels the tape off, grabs Hanta and drags him through for the pass.

Time expires. Only Eijiro, Rikido, Denki and Mina failed to clear it from Class 1-A.

At the Villain Alliance hideout, Tomura Shigaraki studies a photo of Izuku and crumbles it to dust as the man from the hostess bar arrives with two guests, a young man and a girl, both interested in signing on.

Eijiro Kirishima and Rikido Sato lose to Cementoss, unable to overpower his Quirk or force a path through it.

Ochaco Uraraka and Yuga Aoyama beat Thirteen. Yuga's question about her feelings for Izuku flusters Ochaco into releasing the railing, and the accidental launch catches the pro off guard long enough for a capture.

Mezo Shoji and Toru Hagakure pass, though their match is not depicted. Minoru Mineta wins alone by exploiting his fan knowledge of Midnight, since Hanta Sero spends nearly the whole fight unconscious. Class 1-A's practical examination concludes.

Giran delivers Dabi and Himiko Toga to the League of Villains bar as prospective recruits.
