The entrance exam is close at hand, and her brother has grown leaps and bounds.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IvST4frWF
Like a sponge, Izuku soaked up everything he was taught.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqun8buqVZn
All Might honed his physical abilities.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQLgnyPEw
Tatsumaki pushed his raw power to its limits.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8PvjihcTw
While Fubuki focused on his technique.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8VKXC1MeZ
Not surprisingly, Izuku was very similar to Tatsumaki when it came to mastering new skills.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILz1Qg3GvA
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw03GGqm91i
It’s not so bad, Fubuki thinks.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JnsZHELAU
It makes sense for siblings to have such connected minds.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ucfRhCaD
But then Izuku learned new abilities from the comic books he read. Teleportation and psychic reinforcement of objects.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVelEKf08e
Every time she helps train Izuku, she can see him disappearing over the horizon of power. Leaving her in the dark. Alone and forgotten.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT6pU6HvF5
But she hasn’t taken the step to prevent that. Not yet.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbYxcqqgzt
But the time to decide was now. Today was the last day, and it was Fubuki’s turn to train him.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ3aUyKDZ0
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTZiLe9G8
Fubuki: “Well, Izuku, I guess today is the last day of training.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VFC8vO450
Izuku: “Yes! Thank you for everything, Fubuki!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtGOHeCIoe
Fubuki: “I don’t have much else to teach you. You’re a great student. I’m… so proud of you, Izu.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw64RIRTiiQ
Fubuki edges closer to Izuku and places a hand on his cheek. He gives her an innocent, sweet smile.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKpfm0EPub
‘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… ’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hogjxGULC
But… she couldn’t. At least, not like this. So she lets him go, turns around, and walks away some paces.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruCUVqKEzL
Fubuki: “Izuku, since this is the last day, I have something special in mind.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE2qMH2jgZ
Izuku: “What is-”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPjmILcTZP
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfZgC0uDFE
Fubuki: “A graduation test. Prove to me that you’re really ready, Izuku.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aJIibmFAj
Izuku stood back up to see Fubuki staring at him with determination as rocks floated around her.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv7TSt6kMp
Izuku: “R-Right, I won’t disappoint you, Fubuki!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBad7DLUDN4
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYuawAMnGn
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zwOkv7XOx
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ52EddMgN
All according to plan.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXcnNrs97p
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZQZWPzo3s
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4QfDB8RrB
That second was all it took for the two storms to collide and engulf him. But that wasn’t all.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGTo6VCDEc
Fubuki: “Whistling Typhoon.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NqjHguL48
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBmSmonAs0
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFIEKcv4ZQ
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTr3YXKJJZ
Shield cracked and flung away, Fubuki looked to see the green flames healing the damage Fubuki did to Izuku.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa9ZWxfLK8
Fubuki: “Tch.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaD31q7TF9
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOZ4ptgeWO
Valkyrie: “Whoa… ”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGox6W8Wux
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa4nr4lfiM
Fubuki: ‘He’s not even a real hero yet, and he’s doing this well… ”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31lRmQ3apH
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv7NpbW2ds
Losing would be too much.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n8ik2D1eD
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3IINmromR
Within that moment, Fubuki placed her free hand on his side, sending a powerful blast through him.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqYXfZRXcK
Izuku: “Ugh.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb7ZVepA50
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2BTP35qim
But to do that, he had to release some of the energy he put into his tie. That allowed Fubuki to overcome his control.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL69wezRfq
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbei9DVGwDx
Before long, Fubuki focused all her attention on the tie, forgoing the quicksand and storm.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch1Uwfno94
That means it was down to a tug of war, a direct power comparison. One, Fubuki was losing. One she always lost.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc4v1HUa5l
Fubuki: ‘No... not again.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B9Im54GAK
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYpiVK62wG
The tie slips closer to Izuku.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54f28JNQag
Damned either way. There will be no reason not to seal his powers like Psykos.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluHL0vUZZy
The tie slips closer to Izuku.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy99FE5Thh
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BSTzJEOXs
Fubuki: ‘He really… looks up to us… ’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbCxaH80Sn
Those eyes, full of love and respect.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTicepaVyg
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uWpHSB9Or
Fubuki: ‘I... don’t want to lose that.’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnucCgdxb7U
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamqmaA0md
Fubuki: ‘I don’t want to see that.’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDc0J4eoaE
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyTtAOhCiV
It was at that moment she made her choice. To win.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApYhuSAfHM
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQPO2Gj2AA
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hj6Ir2zlG
Fubuki: ‘So, I’ll win!’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFtqAOQssW
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkTsdnD1kE
Izuku: “Huh?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux4TUal7bp
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5QKKYbGgw
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x3j3MDeBj
But now?
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYyDjwxLWl
The tie explodes with blue light and transforms into its sword form.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKep2fzgqdW
As soon as Izuku got up to continue, he saw a psychic sword near his chest.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQQQzijFbA
He lost; Fubuki won.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PajEt2WNj
Fubuki doesn’t notice the feat she pulled off; instead, her gaze falls on her brother’s stunned expression.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbH0Ekkd5c
Izuku: “So… so… so… ”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIsLDhyu5u
Fubuki: ‘Oh no, he doesn’t think I’ll prevent him from going to the entrance exam because of this, right?’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfTPgGdm34
Izuku: “So… so coool!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJrYniYbP
Fubuki: “H-Huh?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVtzyqljYB
Izuku: “You’re amazing, Fubuki! You even copied my psi sword!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6meG8Um1rp
Fubuki: “I… what?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKMwpRTjjG
Just as she notices the blade in her hand, it falls limp and turns back into a tie.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KdoQs2B37
Izuku: “That was great; thank you, Fubuki. I think I’m ready for the entrance exam.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONvJJc63vd
Fubuki couldn’t help but blush at the praise.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThXi13IZMH
Fubuki: “Don’t exaggerate, Izu. I don’t even know how I did that. Tatsumaki would have been better for this.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj0Ygm3kvx
Izuku: “I don’t think so.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG3dtaLbXK
Fubuki: “What?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbrh1FIrrc
Izuku: “Tatsu sometimes forgets to hold back.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvWbqUKsX2
Fubuki: “Haha, I guess. But I do too, sometimes.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pisOUfrSr
Izuku: “But you won’t send me into low orbit.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUzkK4V1t1
Fubuki: ‘Yeah… because I’m much weaker than her. You’ll be the same, eventually.’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTHL1KvaSa
Izuku: “But I have to update your hero profile. After seeing it up close, your abilities are truly incredible.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2cf3hdUYb
Fubuki: “I think I said stop exaggerating, Izuku.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGMA6ZhUqw
But he was already in his own little world.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdxclk5zTA
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.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI8FfMjSWQ
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-”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh6p3Yld75
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDU5jJeo8n
Did she just not work hard enough to improve?
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EBSHJXFat
No.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ1sBbkIUM
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD7bwrwh13
But that’s just it. Her sheer power pales; what about other skills? Yeah, Tatsumaki learned telepathy quickly but she never went beyond it.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YEMuzwfL
Could there be other psychic abilities to learn? Maybe one Fubuki is suited to.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifDQcaW0j8
Fubuki: ‘Could I have focused… on the wrong thing? Can I still grow?’
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeUfAfkdvz
She looks down at the tie in her hand and furrows her eyebrows. She almost didn’t notice Valkyrie pulling on her shirt.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmublzkPF7h
Fubuki: “Huh?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTeJrFu5Zz
Valkyrie: “Feel… better?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi9Kl0ZLI6
Fubuki: “… Maybe.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmagop7iI8
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nIeeF5boZ
Fubuki: “Izuku!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspSgGjCu2l
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiK0xRo8SO
Fubuki: “We should get back home; you’re drenched.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQLYyBOdU4
Izuku: “Oh yeah, you’re right. I could also use a hot bath. That water was unusually cold.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bGzwgaZyQ
Fubuki: “Sorry… ”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn7RA3GbrB
Izuku: “N-No, you don’t have to apologize. It was great seeing you in action.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEoPA2a3ar
Fubuki: “I-Is that so?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8K54Y2lsc
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81zre6hkVd
Fubuki: “Izuku, can you… lend me some of those comics you’ve been reading?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQz7OCWrHm
Izuku: “Of course! Should I give some to Tatsu too?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLugvRCoHYw
Fubuki: “Uh, no. I don’t think she would enjoy them enough to learn anything.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgm6TUViMq
Izuku: “If you say so. But if you learn any new abilities, be sure to tell me.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4kC6XHcXI
Fubuki: “Sure, anything for you, little brother.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqpaUgPyDi
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.
