Ketsubutsu Academy High School is an academy where students train to become Pro Heroes.
History#
Provisional Hero License Exam Arc#
According to the Second Year - Class 2 teacher: Ms. Joke, Ketsubutsu Academy has a rivalry with U.A. High and tries to crush them in the preliminaries of the Provisional Hero License Exam every year.
Along with many other schools, Ketsubutsu targets U.A. students because their Quirks were broadcasted via the U.A. Sports Festival. Ms. Joke's class kept true to this tradition by ambushing Shota Aizawa's Class 1-A.[1]
Lead by Yo Shindo, eight students in Class 2-2 were able to pass the first phase of the licensing exam. [2] During Rescue Exercises, the second-year students proved they had experience and training in the field of saving people. They were able to effectively set up the first aid area and help rescue victims to safety.[3]
When Gang Orca invaded the arena halfway through the final phase, Yo Shindo was the first to act. While Yo fought, his classmates helped evacuate the rescue area.[4] Thanks to their efforts, the eight students from Ms. Joke's class pass the exam and receive their Provisional Licenses.[5]
Endeavor Agency Arc#
When the Hero Public Safety Commission required that all Hero Course students participate in Hero Work-Studies, Yo, Tatami, Shikkui, and Itejiro team up.[6]
Dark Hero Arc#
In an abandoned city, third year Ketsubutsu Academy High School hero students, Grand and Turtle Neck, are searching for any remaining civilians to send towards evacuation zones. They are also keeping watch having heard reports of a villain known as 'Jailbreaker' wreaking havoc in the south ward of the city. Turtle Neck believes the civilians remaining are the stubborn hard-liners, but Grand remains positive he can convince them. The two reach the location of the civilian group: the Taguchi Building, a large indoor gym. Grand tries to convince the civilians to accompany them to lodge at Ketsubutsu, but they decline, as the leader of the group points out how useless that option is in the event that villains decide to target the school. He also says that he and his group dealt with a previous villain attack just fine with their black market support items.
Grand retorts by saying stronger, mindless villains like Jailbreaker and the Nomu are impossible for civilians to combat on their own. With the growing public distrust in heroes, the civilian leader brushes it off and tells them to leave. Turtle Neck and Grand leave in disappointment, with the latter angrily saying he would've Vibrated the building and dragged them out by force if he was allowed to.
Suddenly, Turtle Neck receives an alert from their classmate, Shikkui Makabe. The student on the other end shouts that Jailbreaker is fast approaching them, being previously spotted by Itejiro Toteki. The approaching Jailbreaker jumps and crashes on to a nearby building, revealing himself to actually be Muscular. Grand steps forward to fight him, and asks Turtle Neck to evacuate the civilians back at the Taguchi Building. Despite her warnings, the civilians rush out in an attempt to save Grand, who Muscular easily pins down with his muscle fibers.
As the escapee attempts to slowly crush the boy to death, Grand releases a Tremoring Earth attack in an attempt to stun and disorient the villain. Muscular simply produces more muscle fibers to stabilize himself, and Turtle Neck and the civilians watch in horror as Grand is about to be killed.
Suddenly, a loud "SMASH!" is heard, and Muscular is flung on to the roof of a nearby house. Once the dust clears, a hooded Deku emerges from a cloud of smoke emanating from his body, carrying a badly-injured Grand, saying that he was alerted of the villain's presence thanks to his "gift from the fourth". Muscular's face curls into a bloodthirsty smile, recognizing Deku's voice and joyfully reacting to his appearance. He quickly calms himself down, saying he's not looking for revenge and just wants a good fight, placing a nearby rock into his empty eye socket. Muscular jumps toward the bottom of the building to Deku's surprise, and throws it into the air, forcing Deku to jump away, as he screams to go at him with full power.
A huge stream of smoke starts to cover the Taguchi Building to the civilians' confusion, while Turtle Neck heads outside. Deku, shrouded in smoke, arrives handing Grand over to her, while he tells her to take care of him, noting how many buildings have been destroyed, but declaring to make sure no more damage occurs. Turtle Neck's unable to see who the hero is due to all the smoke, but knowing the voice is familiar, tries to think who it is.
Shikkui and Itejiro arrive in the city spotting something in the air, realizing that it is Muscular, defeated, tied up, and carried in the sky by Deku. Turtle Neck cradles Grand, saying that she never got a chance to thank the hero, as the civilians bring out a stretcher for her to carry Grand on offering to help her. The leader tells her that they don't want anyone to die either so they feel like they should at least hear them out. Grand regains consciousness thinking about how Deku looked similar to the kid he met at the Provisional Hero License Exam, while noticing his completely different vibe, wondering if they really were the same.
