Chapter 110 Academy Of Brave

As long as you understand!"

With a smile, All Might looked at the five of them, his eyes filled with both pride and expectation. It was as if he could already see the warriors they would become upon their return.

"Alright, it's getting late. You all should hurry inside."

His gaze lingered on Midoriya for a moment, his concern evident. Among the five, Midoriya was the only one with an unstable Quirk—one that still carried severe side effects if overused.

"We'll be going then!" Akira responded.

All Might simply nodded, watching as they walked away. As their figures disappeared, he murmured to himself, "These kids... their paths remind me of my own."

Just like them, he had traveled to Country M after graduating, honing his abilities before returning as the hero he became.

Akira and the others disembarked, stepping out into the bustling airport. Amidst the crowd, they spotted a tall, thin man holding a sign that read: **"Welcome, U.A. Representatives."**

Akira stepped forward. "Are you Mr. Halma?"

The man glanced at the five of them before flashing a smile. "Five students, all first-years from U.A. You must be the ones I'm here for."

Akira nodded. "Kitagawa Akira, first-year."

"Bakugo, first-year."

"Shoto Todoroki, first-year."

"Midoriya, first-year."

"Tokoyami, first-year."

Halma waved a hand dismissively. "No need to be so formal. From today onward, I'll be your instructor."

"We'll be in your care," Akira said politely.

Halma chuckled. "You won't need to worry too much. The next few weeks will be... let's just call it a paradise."

"Before we arrived, our principal mentioned something about the *Academy of the Brave*, but he didn't give us too many details," Akira said.

"That's fine. You'll understand soon enough." Halma motioned for them to follow. "Alright, it's getting late. Let's head to the academy."

The group nodded and followed him out of the airport.

The ride was quiet, each student gazing out the window, taking in the unfamiliar sights of Country M.

After about half an hour, the two black cars they were riding in finally came to a stop.

Stepping out, they were met with the sight of an enormous gate—one even larger than the entrance to U.A.

Akira studied the entrance before remarking, "Impressive, but I wonder how the facilities and training grounds compare."

Halma laughed. "Sharp observation. The *Academy of the Brave* may have a grander gate, but in terms of size, U.A. has us beat."

He gestured beyond the gate. "However, our training grounds are outdoors. And if we're talking about training space—"

A grin spread across his face. "The facilities here could fit a hundred U.A. campuses inside them."

Bakugo scoffed. "A hundred? Yeah, right. You messing with us?"

Halma stepped closer, patting Bakugo on the shoulder with an unsettling smile. "I don't joke about things like this."

Bakugo frowned. Something about that look sent a chill down his spine.

"Alright, enough chit-chat," Halma said. "Follow me. The other new students have already gathered. If we're late, *he* is going to punch me again."

Without further explanation, he turned and led them forward.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a massive open field, packed with students.

Hair colors and physical traits varied wildly. Some students had animal-like features, while others looked downright monstrous due to their Quirks.

Halma clapped his hands together. "The *Academy of the Brave* recruits talented students from all over the world—handpicked by their own principals. But getting here is just step one."

"You mean we still have to pass a test?" Bakugo asked.

"Of course," Halma replied. "Take a look around. There are nearly **a thousand** students here, but only **twenty** will make it through."

"Wait, what?" Midoriya's eyes widened.

"One thousand students... and only twenty pass?" Akira muttered.

Halma nodded. "That's right. So do your best."

He smirked. "Or don't. Makes my job easier."
