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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhrgPsLpnBC
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7wpk8CIkcO
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAveskbMcj1u
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWY1pXpOKsr
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAq8a6gtqvPy
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.]
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIaXW82wdzD
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvsezxMeiBA
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAuxdirWrXci
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbgrYEStQHd
Inko: “But she’s family.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAezeZiiGAts
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAW0TYyY9LKA
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIRLAgw9G0E
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjPZ5lhqxjj
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjygbxTCEUe
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASOl8K2xfdB
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAI0unAeG756
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVuF5aYU4Wn
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAlYHazYWKnj
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9SVf6AAxNn
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAthz5Th17mM
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAg5PJbME4hk
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcWB6K6gsPf
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvXiBO174z4
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgIG71ogWV1
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiAl6Bj7wzU
Fubuki: “Good.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmv3S7PKhhw
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtOB5450jtM
Inko: “I have an idea.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUKrzhW3JYS
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAPPfFQ7E8Qq
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAf2WaNxXlGM
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVvPbhVyYw3
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYtFZ4Yu9bI
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7n66im41WF
Inko: “I’m glad.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANALx2To20Aen
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcj44rWW3YF
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAebHey9zlI1
Kiri: “Nh.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEf2A1GuRF3
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAdOJXtL5K9T
Izuku: “Right!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyIgW5MdeMt
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhZSn3stghO
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMSJUW5TWom
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWmDf90j58d
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAH0Nj5Ja2Bd
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcRc3UDldrv
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyBrWZ2DAEG
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0lxmsp4K41
Kiri: “Nh.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfE8zl7wn5D
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhDLgqoKszd
158Please respect copyright.PENANAle369p39sV
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA38sH6Tuwsv
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxCrKH4zMP6
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1xgSQD7RBJ
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnpEG5siZSv
Kiri: “Nh!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYlAcVP8KGK
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYuwDus0oN7
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjmm5zdnYxG
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAHuRbznmIl0
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASP4ZYjLg1U
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgMGgEFdsZq
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAznQ62icn0b
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyICtWtaPqK
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAY3wE4iLbvV
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmbdlrSWPje
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?
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1XGcu5O4CF
Kiri: “Onii… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0FATe4pJHa
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAk29FlCQVN5
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIagfq0Z54Q
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAP8LaYLLBar
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6MOJ146ubt
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxpfJHMiP0K
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
158Please respect copyright.PENANArfJ8fIUBf0
Kiri: “Who?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtBTl3n1ajK
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANADFMTr0eI7W
Kiri: “Nh.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjrJhCAwqE7
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvutPE7Q7UA
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAioPoxeXCku
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyFGOugLiTV
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANALhYJZKzLeG
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZaWkZmeZf5
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWsZXWnbv1x
Kiri: “Nh.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA13LYqbsoB1
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANABurGyyWdqv
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAieRkCVkLjJ
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAzZWVcBF8qQ
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA78RaI5D9B2
Silence.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASCtEFo1Q3l
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAO8KSR4bjx8
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANATEuwJhYrpc
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
158Please respect copyright.PENANApxfR8dpY33
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEjzXpbNcym
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA8ggwOm5V47
Bakugo: "Shut it."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyPpZWhmQ6u
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASuhkMM3a6M
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."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEC1GSx70T5
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAa8tOdOhxS6
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAL721vKa0T5
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMYLxZB7nBq
Izuku: "Probably."
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0mTHdBCFBW
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAruCfGVntGV
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMmhAFYwFH9
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAr4qL0YBDZl
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.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAevWCfEhZbT
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnLWwo4qnUj
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAdHQa07Inri
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1sEhrSrPPy
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANnQ3xMr0eP
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAy5x1iPONo1
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjr2ovYHg7I
"May I ask a question?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFHYFpdK9kQ
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAPORf6A1wA8
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmMNSn5pzf5
"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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXWCEraS7zY
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjMCjFsMGqO
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgj2iogqRJ2
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ50N0URVR
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAGiGCYuVEE
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!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA35m5dAIv4z
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxZVfyDOuFl
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAePQ35VKBcq
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAimcsulrClk
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!'
158Please respect copyright.PENANArvlo5znJrW
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0rl72SuNAG
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0LVTGxjPxh
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASlRd6SW14f
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… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAOQMLCCMbit
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmGQOoHsqs2
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAptCXAJQnK5
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA02AJEyc4qR
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANANdVIheC7W4
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKVS5ZkvhXw
All around, he could hear murmurs.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAU2X7YwRgTc
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAPIbVirfaVQ
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANArSPVlZ6igI
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA22vcX6OXnX
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAPsiw2AcQkH
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKl3H6iOzUi
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFdXFZvFGk5
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAF5yiwIbf5B
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAOYqD9FvdoT
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqWByxCOP9y
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1tdsD6c4gG
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAX9CSnsQVcN
But before anything else can happen-
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtnSR39U0vH
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANALV9q9JQu2i
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAM2hIwvjYuC
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAOBzarhDz1k
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0t70HcGIvV
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAo1S5RegjEC
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Du1Cwg2F
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjgOEUmgcjS
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcE55h98yeX
"Target acquired. Terminate."
158Please respect copyright.PENANA82dXqswvtZ
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYO2gAskCjY
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnxJCx70Hps
Izuku: ‘One down.’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9MuHNpMCF
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAooB7dnapkx
But he never got the chance to do anything.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAV1wCYkJECS
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZJaQ76x7d
Izuku: ‘Next.’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAT0U4YViO53
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA28GaCwhqSP
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2YrPUGdLNJ
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhJFhXKJY6z
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAChOtPY0SBP
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANApeTyDfVZXA
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjZRKHWYw3y
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMARc1q2kNT
Izuku: “No problem!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiQSVMzhSZh
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
158Please respect copyright.PENANASQvHwrwGzQ
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAGLeZ8OCVeD
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA3aadVqNtAO
158Please respect copyright.PENANAeb2lJKD7ur
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcDdA4XN8Di
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvAukYbWg0R
Another person spoke up.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZOOEoFFKv8
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWeRe5MsABh
Another picked up from where he left off.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAzygsg1gCD1
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
158Please respect copyright.PENANASjSlPlRmPE
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfsVdB52FwV
A squeakier voice continued.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAB3ZvaYA4wS
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxmoO6sxhpA
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9soTLtsmXE
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmT2sZUd7Zn
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxr20ov7oqF
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAHtaI6ju6Zy
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyCAAl4zjZZ
This time, there were three images.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgBbMsALfky
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZAWSXUaqZf
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJnqwv7ufhr
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjOC7gdRnP1
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANfGdbNau7U
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9FUJqnxGuo
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
158Please respect copyright.PENANADEA97BnhRn
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2mPZkLNxiV
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAImOyxcLxS4
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJYz81CcIT1
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgJDhitSLgI
One of the males replied to him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEsfvjbgkrl
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXpjxbcn8Oy
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAI2fZiq0A2d
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbOg0J5IE9D
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqiEuv67KMV
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZVTpx5RVho
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcav6BM3QeL
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANgy1oNwYuu
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXHfMjpTmvm
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASDZ7wjNBFB
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAG8pLEldRiP
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2ELSagatLe
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASTxTxGqlFT
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ8Y56GqW6
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqnoLG8jvr7
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA37ssg4TXtI
Uraraka: “No!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA42VsQipWvO
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAC6jaO8uKUh
Uraraka: “Get away!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUrZ51UByfn
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAI2L7eWetmD
Uraraka: “No!!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANANhXRRaelJJ
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAuQP69Y23qt
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAU5UqfjNMBV
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAN00904S5f8
Uraraka: “Phew.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAX6Ra3R2RQr
“Don’t relax just yet.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAul3RuQjpfO
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcpjFtGMWjx
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3FPfyIt14
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Em3AzXZ0
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjRl9yHFjID
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcTfrAguSAI
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAaCINQVTQZ4
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfARXbRFx8j
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmefnWo16Gy
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0GKrW0VcFW
Kiri: “But… points.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2pd2ipyLQi
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMGP0hviCrQ
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASpyuUwL75X
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANACKp0wRPiWY
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEYfcv5BXoy
Kiri: “Nh!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAHfD7zOQlLR
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKCeiUUPASJ
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAq36lEVAIC5
“Huh?”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMHir2BaSDd
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKefLMD7079
Izuku: “Fire!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVnjTie2SbE
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAme9kHXjPhj
Izuku: “Kiri!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjvfdfg3nTp
Kiri: “Nh!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFMFW0WS0IZ
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6KKKeudsjq

Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

158Please respect copyright.PENANA2IFSlUuWrp
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANALDHSRtMTzV
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAkDKY6tnCu
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFrRGJBx33L
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUM1bNO4FB1
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAME5ToDY9Fp
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFDxkQNw7XZ
“You were like real a hero.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAwLaZin9yeL
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAg4gdMPiif6
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
158Please respect copyright.PENANAM7A7vivWXA
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAT2A5kXHttL
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgWrntwVXlE
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxtgenQbVtg
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANACNGyAmLnl1
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6l7s8rgMPw
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAb3gU21Nmw4
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiMrxFjfEzc
He looked at the brunette.
158Please respect copyright.PENANADHgzEvy48s
'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… ’
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWlkoZGacqg
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
158Please respect copyright.PENANALl2YcxOqV0
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
158Please respect copyright.PENANANBM41RIw0t
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAT7gtUBTvPl
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2O0KuXm6wv
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
158Please respect copyright.PENANAPbZq5tXJcz
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFUOH1EGvIG
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqoh4hrJQQK
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbRKS9ElUOi
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEp06rqAX9b
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnTQafT5KKK
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZgvLLeROb9
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9YDJAJksLl
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKsI7fv6HLs
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAi7GimyZoW2
No, he can’t say that right now.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWOS5niKS8m
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbUfmOjiDkW
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANALHFJpSMyuf
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6fNMeuVgKz
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANANhTTSW9GJw
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANARx9i91bwSE
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1JIyWIEtNJ
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEMK4zmjGrd
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUP7bklS5m9
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAlHNyBx4zJJ
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA5BxvOXaYgM
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANADJ48PplI09
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0CgmHCq7de
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ8Rkjugss
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8a6n45RcU
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAGlvgUWmgxo
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAInrNwjg5Pm
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
158Please respect copyright.PENANALSBVemALWr
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANARoH2ez6sFX
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAeMG1AosQTd
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfkgCFw96GD
Izuku: “How do you-”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXz3c4vWqSu
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMhn6aDsZu1
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXtUhJk8d81
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAHTrQDaOFBz
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAH4qwyXhObk
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qo8LtNZsD
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAck8wAMPjJu
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxm0le2teCR
He bowed to the camera and the family.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjcu5umGYLV
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANALfnrHvn04k
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMiGICwlIjh
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."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbezlRdQid0
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIZcSCFoKkb
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
158Please respect copyright.PENANArIgnRdUQfB
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAoXcuFHZtFk
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rv0RghqPO
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7zl8RcInnd
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAW6Dz45C01p
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAsxwZxmMZBo
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?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAeGgk51H6xM
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.”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAviqqSMIBch
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcJtyeVnFqG
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKgx3sLYYcA
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbL4C6pA1pG
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqdKXUCH2dm
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."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcXDYgYiFkp
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUZGsh6Oy0Q
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAaEx0Krq7gY
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!”
158Please respect copyright.PENANAkUw4xB1UlH
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!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEpX5oVRuGt
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4mw9Mhj9Q
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAceShQkjxV6
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
