The entrance exam is close at hand, and her brother has grown leaps and bounds.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qJ67o70YK
Like a sponge, Izuku soaked up everything he was taught.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfvUIWzkdF
All Might honed his physical abilities.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXYhLHPWLa
Tatsumaki pushed his raw power to its limits.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAXEqysSkC
While Fubuki focused on his technique.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vQasiqzmh
Not surprisingly, Izuku was very similar to Tatsumaki when it came to mastering new skills.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNiX2NRzn4
Fubuki was the first to learn telepathy, at least with her sister, and Tatsumaki learned it in a few moments. Izuku did the same in a few minutes.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqBRwV4Oov
It’s not so bad, Fubuki thinks.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjAdXSCyRZ
It makes sense for siblings to have such connected minds.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ72wzyeWFh
But then Izuku learned new abilities from the comic books he read. Teleportation and psychic reinforcement of objects.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoPSF8vWRJ
Every time she helps train Izuku, she can see him disappearing over the horizon of power. Leaving her in the dark. Alone and forgotten.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaB2Wu0W7j
But she hasn’t taken the step to prevent that. Not yet.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZTmFOP3ry
But the time to decide was now. Today was the last day, and it was Fubuki’s turn to train him.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cSHoxw2mk
The beach was clean, and Valkyrie was sitting nearby in her child form, watching as she usually does. The sun was dipping across the ocean, bathing the beach in a golden glow.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNjQxl1mTW
Fubuki: “Well, Izuku, I guess today is the last day of training.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqf4bLrpE5
Izuku: “Yes! Thank you for everything, Fubuki!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbJZ0ssCc3
Fubuki: “I don’t have much else to teach you. You’re a great student. I’m… so proud of you, Izu.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oKw3nPGzO
Fubuki edges closer to Izuku and places a hand on his cheek. He gives her an innocent, sweet smile.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibhSyN7DxX
‘Just a quick peck on the lips and it will be over. He’ll thank me later when he’s safe from danger. Just do it. Do it before he becomes too strong for it. Do it… ’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyVy7HaZVI
But… she couldn’t. At least, not like this. So she lets him go, turns around, and walks away some paces.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ILBlBa35k
Fubuki: “Izuku, since this is the last day, I have something special in mind.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfncMbKvijs
Izuku: “What is-”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5loLvxG5EH
A blast of psychic force pushed Izuku across the sand. Valkyrie nearly jumped up, ready to protect her big brother. But it was Fubuki’s next words that stayed her hands.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWCR10KXQq
Fubuki: “A graduation test. Prove to me that you’re really ready, Izuku.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuW7uabk3M
Izuku stood back up to see Fubuki staring at him with determination as rocks floated around her.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SrpOJYw1M
Izuku: “R-Right, I won’t disappoint you, Fubuki!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdpz4WNKQ3
Izuku instantly appeared behind Fubuki in a flash of green and threw a punch at her. But the blow was blocked by a shimmering light blue shield.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINyhNCHpnw
Fubuki looked back at her brother, and with a glance, expanded the shield, pushing Izuku away. With a flick of her finger, a surge of sand flies toward the younger psychic.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5k2XAdK4s
Flipping in the air, Izuku summons his own shield to block the assault. Fubuki fully turns to her brother just as he teleports out of the way of the attack. But the sandstorm doesn’t abate; it follows him wherever he goes.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKyMndBwK6
All according to plan.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k80unFgoM
He teleports near Fubuki and flies towards her, with the storm closing behind. His older sister only smiles and flies upward just when Izuku was about to collide with her.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5OtNrGSSn
Instead of her, Izuku collides with another stream of sand. Izuku tries to teleport before he’s hit from both sides. But for some reason, he can’t teleport.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZFt2uGzt
That second was all it took for the two storms to collide and engulf him. But that wasn’t all.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPghormTnJ
Fubuki: “Whistling Typhoon.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O5s41smOZ
The two colliding sandstorms surged to become a small spherical tornado that emitted a sharp whistle. Fubuki, however, doesn’t lower her guard. It’s taking more than half her focus to lock her brother’s ability to teleport.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzUU3BwPX8
So it didn’t surprise her too much when Izuku cut through the storm with his psychic sword. More like his tie straightened and empowered by his quirk.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5a4qFvs2o
But that strike also sent a wave of green energy, which Fubuki had to block. This gave Izuku the freedom to teleport to Fubuki and hit her with the broad side of his sword.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8oKJfbrc7
Shield cracked and flung away, Fubuki looked to see the green flames healing the damage Fubuki did to Izuku.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbGLtzzTiQ
Fubuki: “Tch.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmszXHDant
Izuku flies after her, and Fubuki meets him with another onslaught of sand. The two clashed and flew across the beach like blue and green stars.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLypLTX7NKY
Valkyrie: “Whoa… ”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpemKThhUqK
The older sister did all she could to pin and overwhelm Izuku with sand. But he would cut them all apart or teleport out of the way.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymXJ8pDLwC
Fubuki: ‘He’s not even a real hero yet, and he’s doing this well… ”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjS1JYjTj4
Her breathing was becoming a bit ragged, and her energy reserves were draining. She was never that good at drawn-out fights against aggressive melee fighters. But… she had to win this fight.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV7B68UTcA
Losing would be too much.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyWjlESgBG
So she gave Izuku an opening, which he took, going for a horizontal slash to the midsection. But Fubuki stopped it by psychically grabbing Izuku’s sword arm.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NOgQ7wqmT
Within that moment, Fubuki placed her free hand on his side, sending a powerful blast through him.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnJM1fXmlj
Izuku: “Ugh.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoVwDQ92FI
The blow was enough to send him crashing into the sand. Sand that quickly deepened, dragging him into the depths. But he wouldn’t let it end like that. He expanded his psychic shield, pushing the sand away.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOQObEIwn
But to do that, he had to release some of the energy he put into his tie. That allowed Fubuki to overcome his control.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eInfVhDW2
She used telekinesis to grab his tie, removing his greatest weapon. But Izuku used one hand to keep the shield up and another to grab his tie.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yqsj3O6cb
Before long, Fubuki focused all her attention on the tie, forgoing the quicksand and storm.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINQmJSOvyM
That means it was down to a tug of war, a direct power comparison. One, Fubuki was losing. One she always lost.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm852SfJAtY
Fubuki: ‘No... not again.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpJOpxd4hk
But why fight so hard? If she wins, Izuku proves he can’t survive hero work. But if he wins, it proves without a shadow of a doubt that she has been left behind.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKfPdMZZVK
The tie slips closer to Izuku.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl3LLxbFUe
Damned either way. There will be no reason not to seal his powers like Psykos.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjbDUlEtm5
The tie slips closer to Izuku.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AhMgF74IE
But as she looks at her brother, she sees his determined gaze that holds the desire to not let his older sister down. To prove he can survive and thrive as a hero. A hero like his sisters.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwNbYssvQ
Fubuki: ‘He really… looks up to us… ’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTf5kuCxeA
Those eyes, full of love and respect.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQmNgSpem
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkpcG7MRu3
Fubuki: ‘I... don’t want to lose that.’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe08A6srS0
The sight of Izuku’s eyes filling with pain and betrayal at learning that his beloved sister took his quirk. The same eyes Psykos gave her.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2brdztYsl
Fubuki: ‘I don’t want to see that.’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIO5ed3bGj
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pWCmGZ4yX
It was at that moment she made her choice. To win.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvxNetISzh
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0l3uyjOuD
Not to seal or ‘save’ her brother, but to hold onto that admiration just a while longer. To stand next to him with pride. Because no one would admire a weak hero.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFMd7qWA69
Fubuki: ‘So, I’ll win!’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo2bipX8c7
Her eyes flash a deep blue as her hair stands up in response to her declaration. Sea water erupts as a wave behind Izuku and overshadows his back.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIBqHFv5ca
Izuku: “Huh?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnqJieRthe
That moment of confusion was all Fubuki needed to seal the deal. She took the tie and rushed Izuku, who was too late to stop the water from falling on him.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXyAOQqGeK
What came next was pure instinct. Fubuki was after the tie just to remove its access to her brother. She never learned how to empower objects and turn them into weapons like Izuku.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZiU0ewelP
But now?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00aeimAXCv
The tie explodes with blue light and transforms into its sword form.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bX27tbM0O
As soon as Izuku got up to continue, he saw a psychic sword near his chest.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE0x0CjdOv
He lost; Fubuki won.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG8U1dcDIJ
Fubuki doesn’t notice the feat she pulled off; instead, her gaze falls on her brother’s stunned expression.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UAz8ogHZr
Izuku: “So… so… so… ”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAKJDyrUyY
Fubuki: ‘Oh no, he doesn’t think I’ll prevent him from going to the entrance exam because of this, right?’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcENSjDD5ST
Izuku: “So… so coool!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HRXPqvGga
Fubuki: “H-Huh?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwQqCBEzce
Izuku: “You’re amazing, Fubuki! You even copied my psi sword!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHZcMsKPyk
Fubuki: “I… what?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JdWGaiID5
Just as she notices the blade in her hand, it falls limp and turns back into a tie.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2OiKq9bVd
Izuku: “That was great; thank you, Fubuki. I think I’m ready for the entrance exam.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJLADJqfnN
Fubuki couldn’t help but blush at the praise.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2rzGaJdYw
Fubuki: “Don’t exaggerate, Izu. I don’t even know how I did that. Tatsumaki would have been better for this.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdWOlmKxmS
Izuku: “I don’t think so.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe152PLfGV
Fubuki: “What?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0aVq7PEK2
Izuku: “Tatsu sometimes forgets to hold back.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivnos2V9kV
Fubuki: “Haha, I guess. But I do too, sometimes.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bViC3z5JI
Izuku: “But you won’t send me into low orbit.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXW29AjOPF
Fubuki: ‘Yeah… because I’m much weaker than her. You’ll be the same, eventually.’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdZnXKdsLD
Izuku: “But I have to update your hero profile. After seeing it up close, your abilities are truly incredible.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUUd7aAMMD
Fubuki: “I think I said stop exaggerating, Izuku.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prwWhPc1q
But he was already in his own little world.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DwFZA6kCj
Izuku: “Your telekinesis control is precise enough to speed up objects without destroying them like Tatsu tends to do. The sand’s turning speed and irregular angles were also surprising. It was difficult in a different way than Tatsu’s overwhelming amount.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYD47H1P5e
Izuku: “Then there’s her control over water and blocking my teleportation; I didn’t expect that. Could Fubuki have more hidden abilities? What’s the limit of psychic powers? Why are we so similar but different? Could Fubuki make mental projections? She did learn telepathy on her own. What if-”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSC5r1ly9t
Fubuki tuned out the rest of his mumbling. She heard enough and was… speechless. Izuku is talking like Fubuki could grow stronger. That she was… better than Tatsumaki at some things.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMLij2HbRF
Did she just not work hard enough to improve?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZinb7KNnV
No.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgWrSDGQ0z
She knows for a fact that she worked harder than anyone to surpass her sister. She strained her power until she passed out and still kept going. But no matter how much she tried, her power paled in comparison.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JE84gUnJ7
But that’s just it. Her sheer power pales; what about other skills? Yeah, Tatsumaki learned telepathy quickly but she never went beyond it.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ECHOJczh
Could there be other psychic abilities to learn? Maybe one Fubuki is suited to.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwrLukzaNd
Fubuki: ‘Could I have focused… on the wrong thing? Can I still grow?’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EvipZtD9
She looks down at the tie in her hand and furrows her eyebrows. She almost didn’t notice Valkyrie pulling on her shirt.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe8mJ7PLy2
Fubuki: “Huh?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh96cafnGz
Valkyrie: “Feel… better?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOqCHX52LV
Fubuki: “… Maybe.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXYuI4wyJ6
Valkyrie smiled up at her, and Fubuki, for a moment, thought the girl was cute. But she won’t lose to the cuteness that easily. Instead, she turns back to the still mumbling Izuku.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnd5pt2mCX
Fubuki: “Izuku!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9rH59Idrk
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm40WPF1xan
Fubuki: “We should get back home; you’re drenched.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dpbcs7Bed
Izuku: “Oh yeah, you’re right. I could also use a hot bath. That water was unusually cold.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNcalOIGUL
Fubuki: “Sorry… ”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLLYqZO5HL
Izuku: “N-No, you don’t have to apologize. It was great seeing you in action.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbxTxp1s4Y
Fubuki: “I-Is that so?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyEEmVek6W
The three begin their way home. Valkyrie was holding Izuku’s hand and even tried sneaking into Fubuki’s but her onee-chan still isn’t ready for that.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh41zGSJ3b
Fubuki: “Izuku, can you… lend me some of those comics you’ve been reading?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqReeba1cI
Izuku: “Of course! Should I give some to Tatsu too?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGUniGc4Qt
Fubuki: “Uh, no. I don’t think she would enjoy them enough to learn anything.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37aZ5t7HiR
Izuku: “If you say so. But if you learn any new abilities, be sure to tell me.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GKhnqRLeo
Fubuki: “Sure, anything for you, little brother.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHMf3a7VU2
She ruffles his hair and smiles. At least for now, Fubuki is hopeful for the future. There’s a new path open, one she prays will have a good ending.
