Chapter 108

RUSH! (!) is the one hundredth and eighth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's Boku no Hero Academia.

Summary
Moments earlier before Izuku, Ochako and Hanta pass, You Shindou analyzes the situation after scattering Class 1-A with his earthquake; Class 1-A are weakened due to being scattered and half of You's class are going after Class 1-A while other schools have hopped on the bandwagon. As a result, more and more conflicts are breaking out, making the situation messy. You's female classmate states that his plan to scatter them is backfiring. However, You is still satisfied because the end game of the First Exam is in motion and many examinees are wasting their energy going after Class 1-A and is happy that his class is fully aware of what is at stake. The female classmate comments on You's fake goody-goody act but You takes that as a compliment. You scorns the examinees for struggling to seize their dreams and ideals while stating that he is above such childish mentality.

Back in the present, Katsuki, Eijirou, and Denki have passed which brings the total number of people passed to 82. Denki spots Izuku, Ochako, and Hanta. Denki goes to greet them and congratulates them on passing. As Hanta and Ochako praise Denki and Eijirou for passing, Katsuki asks Izuku if he passed, to which Izuku tells Katsuki that he did; Izuku finds it awkward to be speaking to Katsuki due to the Kamino Incident. As he walks away, Katsuki is not surprised that Izuku passed with his "power", much to Izuku's shock. Katsuki asks Izuku if he made that "borrowed power" his own yet, and walks away to the waiting room.

In the waiting room, Momo is glad that Izuku's group and Katsuki's group passed. Tsuyu tells Izuku's and Katsuki's groups about the people who will remove their targets. Shouto speaks to Izuku and states that 11 people from their class have passed, leaving 9 of them remaining. Momo notes that there are 18 spots remaining and hopes Tenya is alright.

On the battlefield, Tenya and Yuuga are in the heat of battle against dozens of examinees. As Yuuga thinks that the situation is bad, Tenya saves Yuuga from a stray bullet and tells him not to give up. Earlier on, Tenya found Yuuga and decided to work with him so that they could find their classmates and pass. However, Yuuga was content with the rest of Class 1-A passing ahead of him. Tenya refused to leave Yuuga behind as he is the president of Class 1-A and as such it is his duty to support everyone including him. This is how Tenya and Yuuga began working together.

In the present, 8 more examinees have passed, which leaves 10 remaining spots. Ms. Joke is certain that the examinees that just passed are her class and looks down to the waiting room, seeing her class walking to the waiting room; Ms. Joke is happy to see that her class passed. Momo and Kyouka are worried that some of their class will not pass the First Exam.

Tenya and Yuuga are still in the heat of battle against the hoard of examinees. Seeing that he is holding Tenya back, Yuuga fires his Navel Laser in the air; Tenya wonders what Yuuga is planning. Yuuga tells Tenya that he has already lost two targets and does not want Tenya to go down with him and thus decided to use himself as a decoy to attract more examinees which will allow Tenya to outspeed and attach his balls to two of them while they are distracted. Yuuga admits that his dream is to be equal with everyone else.

Suddenly, a flock of doves are all over the area and are distracting the examinees courtesy of Kouji. Concealed by the doves, Fumikage uses Black Ankh: Gloom of the Black Arm to land a surprise attack on two examinees which successfully connects and knocks them down. Examinees find themselves stuck due to Minoru's Sticky Balls; Mashirao knocks them down which sticks them to the ground. Tenya is surprised that Mashirao, Minoru, and Fumikage have arrived. The other examinees realize that U.A. High has arrived and prepare to counter attack. Out of nowhere, a bright light illuminates the area and distract the examinees which prevents them from counter-attacking; this bright light is emanating from Tooru's body. Using Tooru's light as a distraction, Mashirao attaches his balls to two examinees while Tooru herself attaches her balls to two examinees allowing them to pass. On the ground, Yuuga is confused as to what is going on; Mina tells Yuuga it is thanks to his Navel Laser that they managed to group up with him and Tenya. Mina manages to attach her required balls and passes while the remaining Class 1-A students work together; they begin passing one after the other. Tenya criticizes Yuuga for not keeping to his high standards and tells him that thanks to him, the remaining Class 1-A students grouped back together to pass. Yuuga and Tenya attach their balls to their required number of targets, allowing them to pass.

Now that Yuuga and Tenya have passed, a 100 examinees in total have passed; Mera announces that the First Exam is over and instructs the examiness who did not pass to leave the premises. In the waiting room, Izuku, Ochako, Minoru, Denki, and Hanta celebrate because all of Class 1-A passed the First Exam. Inasa is shocked that Seiji failed to pass; one of Inasa's classmates comment that Seiji was full of himself which lead to his downfall and asks him to tone his voice down. Camie has also passed.

Mera asks the one hundred examinees who passed to look at the screen which shows the battlefield. The entire battlefield the examinees were competing on crumbles; all the buildings are destroyed which causes the battlefield to become a disaster site, shocking some of Class 1-A. Mera tells the one hundred examinees that the destroyed battlefield which has become a disaster site will be their next and last stage for the Provisional Hero License Exam. On this disaster site, the one hundred examinees will be conducting rescue maneuvers.
