Boku no Hero Academia, Chapter 60: Prepare for the End Term Test
Yeah we're definitely skipping straight back to the school stuff. We get a cover page profile of Kaminari, though no particularly new information since Kaminari's already fairly prominent among the B-listers. We get a short timeskip to one week before the end-of-term test, and we get Kaminari and Ashido kind of panicking and we get a bit of a ranking system -- showing that Kaminari is dead last (ranked 20 out of the 20 students in this class grade-wise) and Ashido's 19th. Tokoyami's on the lower half too, 14th, surprisingly, despite being super-awesome during the sports festival. We get a bit of the others just talking about how the end-of-term is going to be different from the midterms, and Mineta being a smug little asshat going all 'maaaan the practical test's going to be hard, innit?' with the smuggest look on his face while he's apparently 9th grade-wise, which isn't bad.
(In other words, do not underestimate a pervert trying to go on a summer camp with hot springs)
Midoriya (4th), Iida (2nd) and Todoroki (5th) try to cheer the others up, sorta, by Momo (1st) kind of offers to tutor the others -- including Kyouka and other B-listers. Momo seems kinda super-gloomy about the prospect of test exercise or whatever, which is odd... though she's like super-happy about so many people wanting to learn from her. Good for you, Momo. Bakugou is 3rd, so he's not just a raging fucknut and actually has relatively good grades, too. Out of the more main characters, Uraraka is 13th and Tsuyu is 6th.
We get a fairly long discussion about what the test will be like. The written test is something they can prepare for, but the practical test is something they can't predict, and it's vague beyond "what they learned this semester". We get another encounter with Class B, including a douchebag Monoma, who is an utter douchebag. He basically trash-talks Class A but gets karate-chopped in the neck by another B student, Kendou. I don't remember these two though I'm sure they showed up during the sports festival. Kendou gives some information about how the past tests has been a battle against the same robots from the entrance exam, and we get a bit of a back-and-forth between Monoma and Kendou.
We get a couple of reactions from Midoriya and some others, Bakugou goes all "I'LL FUCK YOU ALL UP" against Midoriya and just, well, acts like a raging fucknut. Bakugou's fun. Aizawa takes a bit of a note of this, before we get a two-page learning montage.
And then come the day of the test exercise, and it's always fun to see team 1A decked out in their uniforms. Kyouka and invisible girl counts out that there are 8 teachers, and both Kaminari and Ashido are just going all "robots will be easy"... before the principal, mr Hamster, pops out from Aizawa's bandages and announces that they're changing the test contents. Not because of an information leak or 1B treachery (like I thought when I read that panel) but simply because they need to send higher-quality heroes into the battlefield thanks to the surge of villain attacks, and robots just don't cut it.
And the test now involves the students forming pairs and battling the instructors -- but there are only nine teachers including the principal. We've got some familiar faces like Midnight, Mr 13, Cementoss, Present Mic, the firefighter masked dude we've seen before and some others, and we see that Todoroki and Momo are paired up against Aizawa... and Midoriya is paired up with Bakugou... against All Might, the tenth teacher. Well that's fun. That's going to be fun to read. And it's definitely something to force Bakugou to play ball with the others. Fun.
