For those that might be worrying, no, Fubuki’s inner struggles aren’t over just like that. She’s taken a step forward, but can always take steps back.
242Please respect copyright.PENANABhnldnaaAR
If you know Boku No Hero, you can already tell which events might send both sisters into a spiral. That’s just the original story; I have much more planned for this psychic family.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAuSK35sv2wv
Also, after looking back at some of the stories I’m adapting, I noticed that Emerald Phoenix is not as dead as I thought. The legend, Primordial Vortex, is still kicking.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAeF9Z9nQj2o
This, however, doesn’t change anything for me. Yeah, their story is still the backbone of mine. But we’re going to go in very different directions. Same premise (when it comes to Izuku anyway), different outcomes.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMCWMpjoKvH
So for those that are worried, no, I will not fully rip them off. You can read both of our stories and get very different experiences. A big example of this is that, like I said before, I’m not doing a harem. But since I’m on that topic, I might as well confess and spoil: I really like what they did with Momo.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA3iduz1FeuK
Such a great idea; I’m with that. [Can be convinced otherwise, there are plenty of great pairings for Izuku. One I’m kind of considering, but I don’t know if you will like. You’ll see.]
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQuvn3fhxxX
Regardless, I’m still going to lift a few more sections because they’re really good and fit. But remember, Valkyrie is here, and some characters in their story aren’t. Things won’t be 100% the same.
Today is the day, the day of the entrance exams for UA. Everything was ready, except for one thing.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAVuVtcMqniF
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMQWoXmY9ae
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYoADggE0xy
Inko: “But she’s family.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAlIzMToZqEs
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAdad2Tbhf2P
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAmK0MrB2qGk
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMKhjQoE5JY
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANATdbE1nFt8s
While the ladies discussed things, Valkyrie was on her onii-chan’s lap chewing on some sugar cubes. She didn’t much care about the discussion, as long as she gets to go with her brother.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAibjKGkxkZb
If it’s really such a problem to ask Nezu or All Might, she’ll just ask the Pussycats. Although, they’re still a bit upset at her sudden disappearance. But they understood after she explained the situation.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAcODpi8PzDG
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA6wiIrLigI5
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAai0cPdqfh3
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAzScVJ2bgUM
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAKcfZ1yQzD8
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAyPQg5clTkd
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAnUkNKRZ38Q
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAIcgWhIuUxS
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAtgNiZwtWHu
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJDBHAqEH6Y
Fubuki: “Good.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAR0Ak8NnXQS
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANATZRU3aegh0
Inko: “I have an idea.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2ewMq5IW8K
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA7rJe0J31R8
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAEy6honP25Q
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAbC5n5qUngi
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA8ScAYZaCRV
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7mUgiHhDu
Inko: “I’m glad.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAIUholfaAlf
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANATMszaLCBlb
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQ82XRG12gu
Kiri: “Nh.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAK6WujNyHgA
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA38IAgIdFKr
Izuku: “Right!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYGTKkOQuex
The two future heroes get off the couch and walk to the door. Their family waves them goodbye as they take their first steps into a new life.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ2lFoQxFC
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA5fDzaSp0mv
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPET4OzFh82
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAHMNpZTsyyv
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoD5lwSDkFe
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYM6EEuMtrK
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2wsV3Ggoz6
Kiri: “Nh.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAmK31ccG3dx
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
242Please respect copyright.PENANASQd7NwjYjQ
242Please respect copyright.PENANAS16MGXs1n0
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAbzUmhHk80j
There was something different about being in front of U.A.'s gate for real. The last time he'd been here, they'd gone through another gate meant for vehicles. He could see the busts of old, famous heroes staring at the path leading up to the beautiful, all-glass main campus building.
242Please respect copyright.PENANATmeocJ3gWw
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAe6ndntoRw7
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANATgoR0YDqYp
Kiri: “Nh!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAtVuhZLjjS6
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAw8WxzQfvMS
He heard a familiar voice behind him and reflexively flinched to the side. Even if the sandy-blonde hadn't tormented him at all the past ten months, ever since their rather explosive confrontation in their school, old habits died hard.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFHLZLSOaUD
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
242Please respect copyright.PENANANhAAmFgtEe
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
242Please respect copyright.PENANApYb4W56VBX
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANANrsFN3dkla
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA0uNN8Dw5fq
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANArqvjsl2Ry0
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAHwDUv8BU4Z
The moment replayed in Bakugo’s mind. He didn’t think; he just kicked Deku out of the way when that sludge creature tried to attack him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2PlCHt7UZJ
But instead of acknowledging it, he just clicked his tongue and walked past them. Izuku only sighed at his former friend’s back. Is there really no hope for them?
242Please respect copyright.PENANArY6DI6KR1k
Kiri: “Onii… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAs7mQpgrmk8
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA38cDt9ZucA
Izuku stepped forward into the bright future that awaits him. Or rather, he would have if he hadn’t been so in a hurry and tripped.
242Please respect copyright.PENANASPezXm7OO8
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
242Please respect copyright.PENANAp0iemcbkO8
But before Kiri could save him from his own bad luck, another girl stepped up. Izuku looked down and noticed that he was floating. He hadn't used his quirk; he really should have in retrospect. He needs to get better at using it instinctively in everyday life.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA5V0yyDw8jN
Uraraka: "Ah, got you! Are you okay? It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know! I used my Quirk to catch you. Sorry!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA5sz4MBGQPl
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAO9JHAQhxg2
Kiri: “Who?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANARINrY65y7O
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA6g8yUnSZke
Kiri: “Nh.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dc0pXtkHL
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXy0cMcqDz1
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAjzMU6MTZBa
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQmmnYdZRYb
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANADY9D48NCdD
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA8QJoGyGy8h
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXH8TAViohg
Kiri: “Nh.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJohShf97W4
Kiri can’t explain it… but for some reason, calling her onii-chan, her boyfriend, felt… strange. Not bad, but not good either. Regardless, it’s something she’ll have to figure out some other time. They have exams to complete.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAVolHyk4lKF
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAKeCQUKyvPY
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ8B6cMe4n
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4JCCiaDpXb
Silence.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAeRZhTR9pta
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPEDpLZUN9W
Present Mic: "What a refined response. That's cool too, my little listeners. Time to show you then! I'll present the specifics of today's practical exams! ARE YOU READY?! YEAAAAAAHHHHH!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPtgaCcbuWO
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA8aHgLhjMwd
Izuku: "It's the Voice Hero, Present Mic! Awesome! I listen to his talk show every week. He's so inspirational! I guess all the teachers really are Pro Heroes here!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAinsEtKoS16
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAbbYxiqz5Y3
Bakugo: "Shut it."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAq6GX3hM2sp
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4zxvtdWVNH
Present Mic: "This is how the test will go, little listeners! You'll all be doing ten-minute-long 'dry runs' against villains we will be providing. These are 'Mock Cityscape Battles, so you can bring anything you want with you! After this presentation, you'll be moving to your assigned battlegrounds."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAB8VLdyAmA4
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAhhunFEN5kh
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXTeEQz4has
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA6a7ffpMyRD
Izuku: "Probably."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAHm1VIQlhRB
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
242Please respect copyright.PENANACNF5RPmTOv
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA153BpwpRDp
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ1rcVKUfK
Izuku: “It will be fine; we’re together, even when we’re not physically. Right? So it will be fine even if we have to separate for a while.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAW73XVEizkK
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvPiGpvdXt5
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAwOjCO2H5qt
Present Mic: "Each site is full of three different types of villains! Every type of enemy is worth a different amount of points, from one to three. And that's your goal, little listeners! You want to use your Quirks to destroy or incapacitate as many of these faux villains as possible and RACK THOSE POINTS UP!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAAYFxW4Tqhg
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJskEss4uR8
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAmWFQid946v
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMmNKxdFzfs
"May I ask a question?"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA6yD4RdXZu8
A tall, muscular boy stood up with his arm raised high. Present Mic agreed and pointed at him, causing a spotlight to shine down. He looked like he moved incredibly stiffly. Whether that was nerves or something else was unknown.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA8LjZufOIXl
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAS4rZRu29Vp
"There appear to be no less than four Faux Villains printed on this sheet! If that is a misprint, then as the most prominent school in Japan, U.A. should be ashamed of such a foolish mistake! We are here as examinees in this place because we wish to be molded into exemplary heroes!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANACplwrk5eaK
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA7QuniVPczq
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAd12FsifNXg
Present Mic: "Though perhaps you'll wish you hadn't asked. The last type, the trap card! There is only one of this type of villain at each site, but they're going to rampage in close quarters! If you get caught by it OR engage it in combat, you lose every single point you already earned!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPv1FfrZhKr
Even the person who asked the question seemed unable to speak, not even thanking Present Mic as he collapsed into his seat. Everyone, even Katsuki, had some amount of sweat dripping down the sides of their faces, and their hearts were hammering in their chests.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA1k5tb0fafi
Present Mic: "That's all from me, little listeners! I'll leave you with our school motto! As the great hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said, ‘True heroism consists of being superior to all the ills of life.’ PLUS ULTRA!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAwP1CjBGh0l
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAav6g7kbmrn
After, sadly, saying goodbye to Kiri, Izuku switched out of his school attire and had equipped his normal workout gear: the green and white tracksuit.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoj2rxcdEJU
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAIZj0o06dF5
Izuku: ‘What if I'm just not good enough? I've only been training for ten months. Everyone here has been preparing for years! I can't disappoint All Might, Tatsu, Fubuki, and Kiri!'
242Please respect copyright.PENANA1hG5LnA7ip
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvAJviclSOu
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
242Please respect copyright.PENANAD3FoJODonl
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAK7k1L0CJkx
Izuku: ‘It’s that girl!! The one who talked to me. No girl, aside from family, has ever paid me attention. I-I should really thank her for earlier… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXkNTQtLVZi
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4coajqOfO5
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAWQDb1FCGND
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAdsflpsC3nJ
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJOEnArLFm6
He had switched out of his uniform as well into some skintight workout clothes, and he ended up being as muscular as Izuku figured he would be.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAkUi3FCn3MN
All around, he could hear murmurs.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvilW4ESvSk
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAlPhQAYXb8V
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAyze6fx6q36
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA1KFOqwb4VY
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAxIuiVIs7Lu
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4MDJS7Cb8l
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
242Please respect copyright.PENANAw0Rpoik7LI
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMMsfEee0zs
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANALecieW69yw
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAegFU9ZCj7Q
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAAC1vR6uvJN
As he said that, he unleashed a light psychic pressure that got everyone’s attention. Especially those that were talking trash. The display of power and his glowing green eyes was enough to shut them up.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAsyrCzvuAc6
But before anything else can happen-
242Please respect copyright.PENANAwsZuUJGTFz
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvdwxOTo32Q
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAS5BbPijVQJ
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAbxkkPbYUQ2
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAuf0IEEpLvF
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7sym74sew
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA1CtSx7oYDN
But this wasn’t a race, so everyone split off to get some points. For Izuku, it didn’t take long for him to find something to fight.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAsoE8IU156G
A massive robot with a thick wheel as a base and shielded dual-gatlings for arms had crashed straight through a building to his left.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJv3llQxAAK
"Target acquired. Terminate."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAX4449c5k2r
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2KqifFE4sS
Izuku grabbed it with his telekinesis and lifted it into the air before throwing his arm down, sending the bot crashing into the pavement. The bot sparked before it broke apart and exploded.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAI1BYXVmroS
Izuku: ‘One down.’
242Please respect copyright.PENANA3A6NPSiId7
The young esper raced forward, feet no longer touching the ground. The next enemy he saw was a three-pointer. It looked like a crawling tank with missile launchers on its back. The blonde boy with the belt had his arms behind his head in some strange pose. His belt was lighting up and preparing to fire.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAEuJ4G2VKtV
But he never got the chance to do anything.
242Please respect copyright.PENANATp4v81lqe3
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA1iAR7aZMUC
Izuku: ‘Next.’
242Please respect copyright.PENANAfA2I3jrt04
Not giving the blond boy another look, Izuku teleported directly above the city. He whirled around, searching for more enemies to fight. He saw a group of five two-pointers, scorpion-looking bots with vicious-looking stingers, surrounding one of the kids who were making fun of him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPPjuFQuEUr
Even from this distance it was clear he was trembling. Izuku raced forward, pulling out his tie from his pocket. His emerald power enveloped it, turning it into his psi sword.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoDeqylOmx3
He teleported and sliced apart one of the machines. The others immediately zeroed in on him as the bigger target. The stinger on the leader shot forward, and Izuku deflected it with his sword before slashing the air. A sharp green wave of energy shot forward, bisecting two bots.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAKA0ZHnbZNR
A quick push with his free hand saw the last two blasted into a building and exploding. He was about to take off again when a shaky voice called out.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAE1FWHPRggb
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFfDgCKANMc
Izuku really wanted to correct him about Kiri, but he shouldn’t waste time. Still, a fuzzy feeling enveloped him regarding what he called him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAkIy1G5adDX
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
242Please respect copyright.PENANAz5z2mznNbU
Izuku: “No problem!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAq9i1Rwgi6x
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
242Please respect copyright.PENANAIY3hYYvLrL
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYGoDMpdr6P
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAOMtdNrXTQF
242Please respect copyright.PENANAW50MjoEgWJ
In a darkened room, Toshinori stood before a massive number of panels along with a dozen others. His gaze was focused on his student, and a massive grin was splitting his skeletal face.
242Please respect copyright.PENANALvQvOgr0sh
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
242Please respect copyright.PENANAu6iv4ZZWAv
Another person spoke up.
242Please respect copyright.PENANACH5VBaqMV0
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAd7lUEjCTNb
Another picked up from where he left off.
242Please respect copyright.PENANARvUZu53HoX
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAOnQYDg7j8k
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAWwQXD36Lpk
A squeakier voice continued.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAWvjperJWNN
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJRq0Uif8so
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA99EBj2aON6
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ5HPEWQ8O
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA7LP2liY35T
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAsuebrhjF6f
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAGQhbxXZv4Z
This time, there were three images.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAfA29JTzczK
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPBj0rtbfFi
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAMKiOskeTga
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQy6911gNAp
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAxETxNqviLo
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAVCUFp5JxNL
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAVeBCxDoDN7
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAkpJqF2oZka
He flipped open the protective casing of a button labeled 'Yaruki Switch’ and firmly pressed it. Immediately, pandemonium started erupting on the screens as the titanic final villain appeared. It was a behemoth taller than most of the buildings.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAxeY6i4xXUu
Dozens of student prospects simply started turning tail and running as the city broke around it, passing by their fallen examinees, who weren't quite able to get away with barely a glance in their directions.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAKepkERloRG
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAnbEYLAkWeN
One of the males replied to him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2LaVwIGXbT
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAxRQT5anNJj
All Might: "When they have nothing to gain… no, when they have everything to lose, rising to the challenge at those times… IS SURELY THE MARK OF A GREAT HERO!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAteZJmMemf8
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPljfTMAwwk
Izuku's eyes had grown wide as dust and grit from collapsed buildings surrounded him and his fellow examinees. The only thing saving him from a couple of hours of irritated eyes was his psychic barrier keeping it flowing around him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAkkp7gOWedG
When it cleared, it revealed the massive green enemy. It had a flat face with a bunch of red eyes and massive hands. It truly was the definition of overwhelming. It was decimating the city in its rampage.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYz1GXHA3Ax
All around him, examinees were running for their lives and points. None had forgotten the warning from Present Mic. The intense and incredibly fast boy passed by him with a glance, wondering if maybe the surprisingly powerful boy had been utterly rooted in terror.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4thTq3j9MJ
The glance ended, and he sped past, not bothering to lend him a hand. Izuku stared for a moment longer before making to turn away like the rest.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFwprX0BDMh
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
242Please respect copyright.PENANAfKwAXMknbR
Only that didn't happen. Something made him freeze. A small cry of pain reached his ears. He jerked back and saw the dust settle in front of the amazingly bright girl who'd saved him from a faceplant earlier in the day.
242Please respect copyright.PENANARoxHjoUATu
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANACfitm32IdN
Her bubbly voice rang in his head, contrasting with the look of pain and fear on her face as she tried to pull herself out from underneath a broken slab of concrete.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4SVD7ADfKi
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAS1OHr1hyX5
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAs5qbYVKNiX
She gasped, a look of horror flowing over her features as Izuku leaped at the villain's hand, swinging his sword-tie and leaving a large gash on its hand.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA8I2rl3uXq4
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA3SdzhK53qw
Uraraka: “No!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoHkQ0y0Kez
Izuku created a shield in time but was still thrown into another building. With a new target, the behemoth lumbered towards the boy. Uraraka tried even harder to get up, but it was useless.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYCJrTpEbLK
Uraraka: “Get away!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAeT8lMCStTz
The blow left Izuku a bit out of it and so he was too slow to teleport away. And so the blow came, and a large explosion rang out.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAdBqKYlJHLO
Uraraka: “No!!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANANwFCu1rAqG
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAZdIFa2xBQ4
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAJsbx2nYT4t
Uraraka saw a beautiful girl with a good amount of skin showing on top of a nearby building, standing next to an impressive cannon. Then, to her great relief, she saw Izuku in the arms of his girlfriend.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA1gUeLGF4qM
Uraraka: “Phew.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANArWiSEnILVq
“Don’t relax just yet.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA62hzKeS28b
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAHLNt9ueY4G
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAtlFrevOhtV
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAal0ubdplit
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFYmTEjGFbb
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAF26pQcE2M2
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAseLXoQlzsL
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoL8NKLBgrA
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAnWfn4uCaAL
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q0dsEoUN1
Kiri: “But… points.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAtR5y5YZeqd
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAcBKdIkpU2X
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
242Please respect copyright.PENANArFT4S4yvE1
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANArwmIv1TM1j
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
242Please respect copyright.PENANALMbOSOLIem
Kiri: “Nh!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA3V8ToMx9C3
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAplOXH8COvi
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAGmysxCu4YZ
“Huh?”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAc3RHbHqcHC
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAfBTjZDqmiT
Izuku: “Fire!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvsXePrSUlQ
The girl nodded and pulled the pen, sending a green cannonball into the bot that exploded in green flames. The force of the blast knocked the bot back some ways, leaving a large dent in its chest. But it wasn’t out, not yet.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoy6zHCWQ3I
Izuku: “Kiri!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAu9TpDAVFG7
Kiri: “Nh!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANASZahCeRP6g
Izuku grabbed her hand and passed energy to his mental construct. Kiri bursts with fiery green energy. He then twirled her around like a top before throwing her towards the bot’s head.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAxBkDuOOzuK

Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

242Please respect copyright.PENANA3p9XwawF0G
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA9nFEkDJcuY
With a deafening roar, the blow created a hole straight through the head of the behemoth. With one last mechanical screech, the giant fell to the earth.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA5sTjSDN7hG
As for Kiri, she was falling from the sky. But she wasn’t worried. In a green flash, her beloved big brother caught her in a bridal carry.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA9dadxdZO43
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAi3dWXHJwzd
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA9u9rGyTfhf
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvZkIBsuiXS
“You were like real a hero.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA5LHqp9i9NT
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA2bQCEGJ8Hc
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
242Please respect copyright.PENANAIQU9ASBY5E
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAIUn7233b4D
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvrk42hHxQ0
242Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Sho7CG4u
Away from them, a group of examinees was gawking. The intense boy from before was also staring, though his fists were clenched. All around him, the others were talking.
242Please respect copyright.PENANARCwsBfzKKd
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAddACq3ckXV
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
242Please respect copyright.PENANACp1vQJ8px8
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
242Please respect copyright.PENANASsrwMUhLIs
He looked at the brunette.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYQGGMThVS9
'He jumped in to save that girl. The remaining time… his own safety… even his points! He didn't even hesitate! And the other girls, most likely inspired by his actions, helped him as well! Regardless of the consequences… ’
242Please respect copyright.PENANAp4CQrXBQOh
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
242Please respect copyright.PENANABOGx1Xs7G2
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvE2inZWPtH
He thought as he bit his lip. No, he knew how fake that sounded. They are the real heroes, not him. But that doesn’t mean he won’t work hard to respect what he saw today.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXcLTmYVZ9H
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
242Please respect copyright.PENANACvHbBjfD7d
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
242Please respect copyright.PENANAKUF8viKQmw
242Please respect copyright.PENANAzFFzrZRX1z
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAU3JF46jFZc
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
242Please respect copyright.PENANAhB8jr8rBmZ
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAnEdCB5lKRc
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAO5vQoTQnx9
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA8F4lTtQWdR
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ833uK5SP
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvz901UhoLs
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANASJq4DRm1ee
No, he can’t say that right now.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAAeJKbJBjLN
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA9igFlc7ivG
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAhjGbDhsNkF
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAGGkgcrMLRC
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAEseIeObmpD
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAHRAKy22XYO
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAKtVEYkrvH4
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAcb64oyBP2c
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXzdBW24QRz
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAD72S8HFCeh
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAexEJpQEIaf
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANANCKAsUQfBN
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAOqrD7jj2q4
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA0TgAo05tXk
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAAt9mlaVR2Y
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoojSYTgc57
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAziqa5IKw61
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAo0MntrxvCh
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFD6UgNNhNl
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPxO6av4l48
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA1D59QHVWMg
Izuku: “How do you-”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQzdWakahVs
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAsuwhgcCWLI
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAAgTuzrexUb
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAVDuhDg6XxV
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPwumPIAFMg
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAk3trzSGOJW
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAHq6XwdxeNc
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAlqxIfFtb6k
He bowed to the camera and the family.
242Please respect copyright.PENANABpA9bLvDTM
All Might: "My apologies, but I could say nothing until now since we're about to make the official announcement! I'm here in this town for one reason! As of this moment, I am a teacher at U.A. High!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA6nxtciXMba
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAvLs5xUtWXR
All Might: "Midoriya-shonen, Kiri-san, you two scored very well on the written exam, but a goose egg in the practicals means an obvious result. I'm sorry."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAsH4AHUXslP
Izuku's eyes went wide and tears started prickling in them. Fubuki looked away, Inko started crying, and Kiri looked to her brother while Tatsumaki started glowing green with anger.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAmvIRw5AqAw
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAZsg1SPDvwe
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYhCXRPzWPB
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAUx7BRSNFmN
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAwdBJgatOFR
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
242Please respect copyright.PENANARYnsIlY8VZ
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA82PkqjB9M4
Uraraka “Please, that boy in the green tracksuit… The one with curly, dark-green hair and freckles. I thought he looked kind of plain at first, but when the test began he started shining like a star! Do you know the one?"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAe7h2hjjxbB
Uraraka: “He was the biggest hero in that entire exam! He saved me and lost all of his points because of it! The same goes for those girls who saved him in turn.”
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQCwlPGiJDQ
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQvdF0kzayl
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAnWAFSXO0m9
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAnFZ60TeOmT
All Might turned back to the camera as Izuku stared at her, his heart thudding in his chest and tears licking at the corners of his eyes.
242Please respect copyright.PENANArAhJZumKpb
All Might: "You are more than just your Quirk and your strength, shonen! You have the power to move the hearts of others! As proven by the two young women who came to help you."
242Please respect copyright.PENANAi9JpuucR3R
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
242Please respect copyright.PENANA8a7evjSxSy
All Might: "We were NOT just looking for combat ability in this exam. Villain Points were just one aspect of it, and that trap villain did NOT take away any points! It was merely worth nothing!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1o9KLqyHw
All Might: “Not only do you keep every point you earned during the examination, but you've earned even more with your heroic actions! A Hero Course that rejects those who save others and do the right thing could never be called a Hero Course!”
242Please respect copyright.PENANA3jq9tTourG
All Might: “This isn't all for the cameras! Heroics isn't about lip service! In this job, you risk your life and put your money where your mouth is! It's all about turning that lip service into reality! Hero Points!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANA7mb8XC5CQl
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAeTAczry2DL
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
242Please respect copyright.PENANAHYkb0jE9q5
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

242Please respect copyright.PENANASNTfdMxH2y
