Seeing Kaminari's confident smile, Jiro felt a bit flustered. But beside her, Tetsutetsu stomped his foot, raised his clenched fists, and flashed a fierce grin.
"Well, since you said so… let's do this!!"
At that moment, Tetsutetsu looked undeniably cool.
"Jiro?" Kaminari grinned as he bumped fists with Tetsutetsu, then turned to Jiro.
"What do you want to do?" Jiro asked, curling her lips in mock irritation.
Her response made both Kaminari and Tetsutetsu s...

"There's definitely a big flaw in this exam."
Kaminari streaked down the street, sparks and lightning crackling in his wake. Any candidates who had tried to approach him didn't last more than ten seconds before storming off in frustration, dark looks on their faces.
They quickly realized that unless they had Quirks that enhanced their speed, there was no way they could keep up with Kaminari. While it might take others three or four seconds to take down a robot, Kaminari could do...

The briefing session was short and straight to the point, giving Kaminari a glimpse of the U.A. High School's efficient, no-nonsense approach.
Afterward, the candidates changed into the casual clothes they had brought and gathered at the playground behind U.A. Dozens of buses were already lined up, waiting to take them to the exam's simulation sites.
Following instructions, each candidate found the bus that corresponded with their designated testing location, as indicated by th...

"Hm?"
The voice that called out was unexpectedly pleasant, so Kaminari turned around. Tetsutetsu, standing next to him with his hands shoved in his pockets, reluctantly stopped as well, glancing back to see who it was.
"A girl... another girl?" Tetsutetsu's expression immediately stiffened.
Is this what it's like to be a star? Girls just call out to you wherever you go?
"Looks like we really did run into each other here!"
The girl, with short purple hair, wa...

"Hero" is a hit, a total hit!
Kaminari had gained some level of fame. While not a nationwide superstar, he had carved out a name for himself, especially in the small circles of Saitama Prefecture. He was a recognizable figure, at least enough to be considered a local star.
As he stood on the subway, he noticed several boys and girls with their phones out, aiming their cameras at him.
"You know, you really are a star. I never noticed it before..."
Tetsutetsu, stand...

Unaware of the discussions happening far away at U.A. High School, Kaminari was in his room, completely immersed in his project. He was typing away on his computer, working on a document titled "Complete Pokémon World Settings."
He had to admit, creating this comprehensive guide was actually a lot of fun. It allowed him to revisit the details of the Pokémon world and the various creatures that populated it. First, he started by listing the major regions: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, ...

In the conference room of U.A. High School, the Hero Course teachers gathered to discuss an unexpected topic just two days before the entrance exam. While preparations for the upcoming exams were nearly complete, today's meeting had been called specifically to address one candidate in particular.

After spending two hours recording the initial version of the new song, Kaminari left the rest of the post-production work to Dawu, who seemed unusually enthusiastic. Kaminari then headed to a professional photography studio in Tokyo, accompanied by his father's secretary.
Japan's MTV had requested some high-quality photos to accompany the new single's release. Currently, Kaminari's profile on the website only had a single picture—his main profile image. Although Saitama City had a f...

"Thank you very much."
Kaminari's father, dressed in a formal suit, slowly hung up the phone, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. The call had come from Japan's MTV music network, informing him that they intended to heavily promote his son next year. However, one song alone, only my Railgun, wouldn't suffice for a full-scale pus...

In Kyoto, Japan, nestled in a tranquil courtyard that exuded a sense of Zen, elegance, and quietude, a white-haired old man in a pristine white kimono sat under the eaves, his gaze resting on a playful Shiba Inu frolicking near a meticulously arranged rock garden. His faint smile radiated a warmth that was both gentle and harmonious, reflecting a life of calm contemplation.
But despite the serene atmosphere, Mitsui Aragoshi, who stood outside in a perfectly tailored black suit, felt a ...

"This method is a bit complicated, so I'll explain it on the way…" Kaminari said, giving Tetsutetsu a pat on the arm as he walked past him and headed back toward the bushes. Don't ask why he didn't pat him on the shoulder; he just didn't feel like it.
"What? We're leaving already?" Tetsutetsu looked disappointed. They had only been at the training ground for about half an hour. But considering the mysterious training method Kaminari had hinted at, he couldn't help but follow along, e...

"Reggae," Kaminari said with a grin.
Tetsutetsu, still sitting cross-legged on the ground, nodded hesitantly. "Yeah, that name fits. It felt like I was possessed or something… like a ghost was controlling me."
Kaminari's expression shifted, and he asked, "How do you feel?"
Tetsutetsu blinked, not immediately understanding what Kaminari was getting at. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"The feeling of fighting!" Kaminari clarified, his eyes lighting up with excitement. He...

This time, Tetsutetsu had learned his lesson. He kept his focus on Kaminari, staying completely silent and fully alert, his body in a boxing stance. He wasn't going to be caught off guard again. Every muscle was tense, ready to react at a moment's notice.
"I'll end this in one move," Kaminari declared as he charged forward, golden lightning crackling around him. His right palm was wrapped in a fierce, concentrated energy that was far more intense than any of his previous attacks. The a...

Kaminari appeared behind Tetsutetsu once more, his fist crackling with electricity as it struck. Just before Tetsutetsu could turn around to defend himself, Kaminari had already dodged to the right and landed a punch on his dazed opponent's side.
To be fair, the reason Kaminari could attack so recklessly without worrying about causing real harm was thanks to Tetsutetsu's Quirk. His steel transformation made him the perfect sparring partner, a human punching bag that coul...

At the entrance to Omiya Park, Tetsutetsu stood impatiently in a white T-shirt and jeans, his tone almost accusatory as Kaminari approached.

Kaminari glanced at his watch a Pikachu-themed one, naturally—and looked back at Tetsutetsu, bewildered. "What do you mean? I'm not late. We agreed to meet at nine."
Kaminari had slept in a bit that morning, enjoying a rare full night of rest after the excitement of last n...

The passionate declaration managed to draw the attention of those nearby, including the Kaminari family. At first, some people thought it was just a kid making empty boasts, but when they saw a young man standing there with a confident expression, the adults' faces softened into amused smiles.

Her brows furrowed in frustration, and her eyes flashed with disbelief. A child's interference during such a critical moment? It was outrageous!
