Chapter 106

Class 1-A (1年A組) is the one hundred and sixth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Mera Yokumiru announces that 53 examinees have passed and the eliminated count stands at 230. Mera then announces that the 54th examinee has passed; the 54th examinee to pass is Shoto Todoroki. Shoto managed to hit his targets by simultaneously using his fire and ice. Shoto comments that his simultaneous usage of his fire and ice are sluggish and he still needs practice. The lights on Shoto's targets light up and once of them tell Shoto to proceed to the waiting room. The targets the examinees are wearing are special high tech devices that collect statistical information such as the wearer's movements and are able to identify who hit who; the only way to remove the targets is with a special magnetic key. Shoto proceeds to the waiting room.

Inside the waiting room, Shoto sees that quite a few examinees have passed like him already. While looking for a place to sit down, Shoto spots Inasa Yoarashi who is having a conversation with another examinee about Stamp Man. Shoto goes to sit down on a chair and ponders that he should have met Inasa when they were taking the Entrance Exam since he was also recommended. During the conversation, Inasa sees Shoto and suddenly stops talking, silently glancing at Shouto. Inasa turns back and continues his conversation with the examinee.

Back in the stadium, Camie Utsushimi analyses that Izuku Midoriya is the type to save anyone, but wonders to what lengths Izuku will go and where he will draw the line. Camie charges at Izuku despite being nude; Izuku himself is puzzled as to why the female is nude. Camie slashes at Izuku, which causes a cut on Izuku's face to appear. Suddenly, tape divides the female and Izuku, preventing the female from attacking further. The tape came from Hanta Sero, and Izuku thanks Hanta for his intervention. Ochaco Uraraka jumps from behind Hanta and launches herself towards Camie. Ochaco nearly manages to hit the female, but Camie's speed allows her to evade Ochaco's attack. Camie is disappointed that she can no longer talk with Izuku due to being outnumbered thanks to Hanta and Ochaco's interference. Before leaving, Camie comments on Ochaco's trustworthiness. Camie retreats as Izuku tells Hanta and Ochaco not to pursue her, having analyzed that her Quirk probably only works without clothing and because of that her targets have also been removed along with her clothing, reasoning that there is no point in chasing after her.

Izuku, Ochaco, and Hanta decide to plan their next move with Hanta noting that there are a group of examinees near their location. Mera announces that four more examinees have passed, bringing the total number of examinees passed to 58. Izuku analyzes that the examinees are working together in large groups and then attack smaller groups; afterwards they start fighting over who gets to hit the last target, to which Ochaco realizes that as they try to steal the last target from each other their numbers will also start to dwindle which makes it harder to catch others. Hanta asks why Izuku is intent on gathering Class 1-A together; Izuku responds that working together is the best option because they do not have knowledge on their opponents' Quirks and they are short on time. Izuku decides that they should first figure out the number of examinees they need to pass and then immobilize them; after they are immobilized, they will will hit their targets with their balls. Suddenly, Ochaco hears footsteps; Izuku tells Ochaco and Hanta that he will act as a decoy while they keep a distance from him and try to immobilize as many examinees as possible. Izuku, Ochaco, and Hanta prepare to enact their plan.

Elsewhere, Katsuki Bakugo and Denki Kaminari confront a Shiketsu High School male called Seiji Shishikura who has turned Eijiro Kirishima into a lump of meat. Seiji expresses pride in wearing his hat as it is a symbol that shows Shiketsu High's brilliance. Seiji states that their sense of pride and dignity makes them superior to U.A. High School. Seiji has respect for U.A., but upon witnessing Class 1-A for himself, he feels disgusted to be participating with them. Katsuki could not care less about the male's whining and tells him action speaks louder. Seiji gladly demonstrates his Quirk, kneading five fingers out of thin air and launches them, and calls Katsuki an ingrate while Katsuki prepares to attack.

On the bleachers, Emi Fukukado offers Shota Aizawa some gum, which he rejects. Shota is frustrated that he is unable to find out who has passed; Emi wonders why he is worried. Shota explains that he is not worried but has high expectations because two of his students (Izuku and Katsuki) encourage and inspire the rest of his class. As a result of their presence, Shota feels that Class 1-A should perform spectacularly which is why he has high expectations.

Izuku activates One For All: Full Cowl: Shoot Style and dashes past the group of examinees. The examinees prepare to attack Izuku. Seeing that the examinees are distracted, Ochaco and Hanta launch their surprise attack, catching the examinees off guard which allows Ochaco and Hanta to immobilize some of the examinees. Meanwhile, Katsuki blows away Seiji and his kneaded meat fingers with his new technique, AP Shot: Auto Cannon.
