The entrance exam is close at hand, and her brother has grown leaps and bounds.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aVlx3M00h
Like a sponge, Izuku soaked up everything he was taught.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cGiYYLS3n
All Might honed his physical abilities.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5yYWYJFec
Tatsumaki pushed his raw power to its limits.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9pExvjqjJ
While Fubuki focused on his technique.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee24gD3SJj
Not surprisingly, Izuku was very similar to Tatsumaki when it came to mastering new skills.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wW7iHsRcO
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUPrqFfxRA
It’s not so bad, Fubuki thinks.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrlCfVkoGw
It makes sense for siblings to have such connected minds.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTwElzlnbk
But then Izuku learned new abilities from the comic books he read. Teleportation and psychic reinforcement of objects.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7I3dHW3rg
Every time she helps train Izuku, she can see him disappearing over the horizon of power. Leaving her in the dark. Alone and forgotten.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlaGRGRjMO
But she hasn’t taken the step to prevent that. Not yet.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWCpFadxN3
But the time to decide was now. Today was the last day, and it was Fubuki’s turn to train him.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hpy6UnRby
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsLy7mKwKX
Fubuki: “Well, Izuku, I guess today is the last day of training.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIHlS3tqnn
Izuku: “Yes! Thank you for everything, Fubuki!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeFqeOnEUh
Fubuki: “I don’t have much else to teach you. You’re a great student. I’m… so proud of you, Izu.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkO5xaex35
Fubuki edges closer to Izuku and places a hand on his cheek. He gives her an innocent, sweet smile.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgGLdNcL8O
‘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… ’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqXxfweQOh
But… she couldn’t. At least, not like this. So she lets him go, turns around, and walks away some paces.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fht2DTYDN
Fubuki: “Izuku, since this is the last day, I have something special in mind.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XX0fc3WmU
Izuku: “What is-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1RAKWygAi
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj7fUhhXbH
Fubuki: “A graduation test. Prove to me that you’re really ready, Izuku.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TOt6KzcgJ
Izuku stood back up to see Fubuki staring at him with determination as rocks floated around her.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSY3Rf9P08
Izuku: “R-Right, I won’t disappoint you, Fubuki!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzJwdE1Bvf
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyB8b5SADf
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKINrR8Uvpi
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gDxoMWW04
All according to plan.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5o8JF1MlF
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKjibpe7R
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9mk8UNHYG
That second was all it took for the two storms to collide and engulf him. But that wasn’t all.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w8cJgbwMN
Fubuki: “Whistling Typhoon.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIYb3ox93k
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiQUscJRbg
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt5x0LByyT
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgwkW4bWCf
Shield cracked and flung away, Fubuki looked to see the green flames healing the damage Fubuki did to Izuku.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKJloXn6Oy
Fubuki: “Tch.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTrEDhjp52
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW9StcEHgM
Valkyrie: “Whoa… ”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavM9VoP4Rz
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H1ssRF2lN
Fubuki: ‘He’s not even a real hero yet, and he’s doing this well… ”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVbZMFb2e4
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi0AKTJiMW
Losing would be too much.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYsykxQgvW
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7ral40JqK
Within that moment, Fubuki placed her free hand on his side, sending a powerful blast through him.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbdDiFYMzO
Izuku: “Ugh.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8BeiwKOlq
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy2uWZMY32
But to do that, he had to release some of the energy he put into his tie. That allowed Fubuki to overcome his control.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA6yWPvdR0
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGYm8EIzP7
Before long, Fubuki focused all her attention on the tie, forgoing the quicksand and storm.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53LwA8pNAh
That means it was down to a tug of war, a direct power comparison. One, Fubuki was losing. One she always lost.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs2YDIg6eV
Fubuki: ‘No... not again.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg0q6rPZoM
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwZ95wOwzC
The tie slips closer to Izuku.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBybFwiWsHr
Damned either way. There will be no reason not to seal his powers like Psykos.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadCazn6GWM
The tie slips closer to Izuku.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkjzu6az3D
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoBBXGla9f
Fubuki: ‘He really… looks up to us… ’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4YkToUtsp
Those eyes, full of love and respect.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEAqthXy0r
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KwVfwnwz8
Fubuki: ‘I... don’t want to lose that.’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TbLCt4bfK
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBXS7XttCb
Fubuki: ‘I don’t want to see that.’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CHTz6glGt
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOILpVY7iVw
It was at that moment she made her choice. To win.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEPM0MbFLs
The tie slips closer to Fubuki.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TJRLpklpI
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNzKS0jOz2
Fubuki: ‘So, I’ll win!’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEy1CvEvPc
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr2FDl0BHE
Izuku: “Huh?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2wzBOO99D
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBpBwXZb00
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP5RJkGGdg
But now?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESyNSRzHtH
The tie explodes with blue light and transforms into its sword form.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97lf0J5mjI
As soon as Izuku got up to continue, he saw a psychic sword near his chest.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfnoHSUYM9
He lost; Fubuki won.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC3JhzT1JL
Fubuki doesn’t notice the feat she pulled off; instead, her gaze falls on her brother’s stunned expression.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YUboUvtev
Izuku: “So… so… so… ”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSREwXQRHUg
Fubuki: ‘Oh no, he doesn’t think I’ll prevent him from going to the entrance exam because of this, right?’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5TBaKABRN
Izuku: “So… so coool!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiOZdaPxCB
Fubuki: “H-Huh?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeI5lOR5US
Izuku: “You’re amazing, Fubuki! You even copied my psi sword!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuXXwnMrJn
Fubuki: “I… what?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwVBfBk0pO
Just as she notices the blade in her hand, it falls limp and turns back into a tie.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FtoTKa8eE
Izuku: “That was great; thank you, Fubuki. I think I’m ready for the entrance exam.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcC1BeLLwZ
Fubuki couldn’t help but blush at the praise.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQee49sv6PE
Fubuki: “Don’t exaggerate, Izu. I don’t even know how I did that. Tatsumaki would have been better for this.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBjFMkLtAe
Izuku: “I don’t think so.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmD4uKD3KD
Fubuki: “What?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZf6d39e7y
Izuku: “Tatsu sometimes forgets to hold back.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeTSGx0WUU
Fubuki: “Haha, I guess. But I do too, sometimes.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs4Ttnw95I
Izuku: “But you won’t send me into low orbit.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ZqDixU1l
Fubuki: ‘Yeah… because I’m much weaker than her. You’ll be the same, eventually.’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbLzRanXZw
Izuku: “But I have to update your hero profile. After seeing it up close, your abilities are truly incredible.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXV1YmZhK
Fubuki: “I think I said stop exaggerating, Izuku.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0uYSYDqPq
But he was already in his own little world.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCrDmK26n0
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUyAImjR9J
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-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwClJyiLYWN
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetKzdRXffP
Did she just not work hard enough to improve?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhipReucrKm
No.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8phtnZUJ0
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr0wCvAb8B
But that’s just it. Her sheer power pales; what about other skills? Yeah, Tatsumaki learned telepathy quickly but she never went beyond it.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppmkSrUxcK
Could there be other psychic abilities to learn? Maybe one Fubuki is suited to.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1aWkh2LTW
Fubuki: ‘Could I have focused… on the wrong thing? Can I still grow?’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaS30wOXE4
She looks down at the tie in her hand and furrows her eyebrows. She almost didn’t notice Valkyrie pulling on her shirt.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc4CVog7pE
Fubuki: “Huh?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DVaOVb1cb
Valkyrie: “Feel… better?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C7kZuoqsb
Fubuki: “… Maybe.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVrJqIWJ2J
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bj4oKKscV
Fubuki: “Izuku!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLomuqmk9M
Izuku: “Y-Yes?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMNPOky1X5
Fubuki: “We should get back home; you’re drenched.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPHrsCcO67
Izuku: “Oh yeah, you’re right. I could also use a hot bath. That water was unusually cold.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuBIoAwoO9
Fubuki: “Sorry… ”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowHln8Rxpn
Izuku: “N-No, you don’t have to apologize. It was great seeing you in action.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeU1PhBJck
Fubuki: “I-Is that so?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIlSz5yYgX
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cvS0u6LpH
Fubuki: “Izuku, can you… lend me some of those comics you’ve been reading?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3cbjbZLrh
Izuku: “Of course! Should I give some to Tatsu too?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRgJ0vuGQo
Fubuki: “Uh, no. I don’t think she would enjoy them enough to learn anything.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UThK8Puq1
Izuku: “If you say so. But if you learn any new abilities, be sure to tell me.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94OTDFB8tT
Fubuki: “Sure, anything for you, little brother.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3hXJCFFpJ
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.
