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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAewQZHKOXZB
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA3N9jrfjHDI
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAlmipvcjGcS
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAIr3WsGHyMb
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAUoEMhddFfN
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.]
521Please respect copyright.PENANA5w0uTHgkco
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAlpQRvQsF4W
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAz1BTqlQvPV
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA6zV0ZbSgp7
Inko: “But she’s family.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANANsayIA3WPQ
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAGnNcPQC6qp
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAMWSdizcl6X
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAb7MbNBbVjo
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAs8r0beP8CD
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnoRTXFMTqk
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANACraUCu57xD
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAwOX4hLTwum
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAxxOVPRbOnA
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAtkVPujWNoI
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANANv1Tk9lkEs
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAXSDE7WgW4F
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA6SrbYdEwKF
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAUgXVlhDKvI
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANANmYDgiSGG8
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAiiv7gxqrRn
Fubuki: “Good.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAMvPqWiG564
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANACQtbkz1q1s
Inko: “I have an idea.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAl8WhdUuEUH
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
521Please respect copyright.PENANANdgQKCguhK
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAzvwYBJsNCu
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAjk00AHaleZ
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAwXgRmGcsTZ
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPWwYPfE01c
Inko: “I’m glad.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANApGAqdeRIWu
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAwW0bFMLvL3
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAMABZ9rAZmd
Kiri: “Nh.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAiOuz7vO8aV
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANALvSvTxXucM
Izuku: “Right!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA7SagTBx66q
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAMTfKQQPqAJ
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAsB9rubvq60
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhK3vuDSG7P
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANANnzhr4dxGB
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhyxx4QyYe8
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAeC3Wuopmxy
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANASujQg12aDD
Kiri: “Nh.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAksp6Ltc3uT
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
521Please respect copyright.PENANABhL8qXNy3c
521Please respect copyright.PENANAXBkZMIGO1m
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAF3UliNB2if
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAwIgIH4COYa
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAkSzAlBbQ2n
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANANdO7phRTG0
Kiri: “Nh!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcaE1RoD05F
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAgClDdniAGY
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAYfLXkEtRHQ
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAI4RMGfxhPA
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4Swkzuux3m
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAksMPEqFbkB
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAOsDA328XR6
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA6xUCyPsyxy
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA0TBMu3OEXD
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAp6VUHB6vNE
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?
521Please respect copyright.PENANAdCaavAKFbo
Kiri: “Onii… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAKWueu2qbe5
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAZDa0dpmQfy
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA2bbDBywuP1
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
521Please respect copyright.PENANApdYZFbo2dR
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAYM5TPJZWPQ
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAYNR4Y1H5Ko
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhvWIS4WOzd
Kiri: “Who?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAOZTAP76rks
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAUoFMKQywzy
Kiri: “Nh.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAaSpFpmwtwr
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
521Please respect copyright.PENANADQ215Z2egQ
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAWqN9eNMub4
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAfhBG1AO25h
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAE9eWA5n00Y
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAFeLBD5GgNM
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAfWdp6jgqIs
Kiri: “Nh.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAIv3WgOgZ0k
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcXUXeskKyG
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPEg9tRsvp2
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAwUAgbkyc83
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANACdeRwSbPG1
Silence.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAW5fhFVKjAZ
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAb0zu8y1UBX
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAEKHd2q21IN
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAXOT7jbwZj3
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qoond1iFn
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
521Please respect copyright.PENANANUFbLVsOwr
Bakugo: "Shut it."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ8BHCCT9V
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAgKy384sV8t
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."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAehDGhG6yhA
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAD3bcq0ZxsN
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
521Please respect copyright.PENANADJcpUB82HJ
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAdgQYZaPyMN
Izuku: "Probably."
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4SoQe8i20Z
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Z9S8lreX
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAD9nW0UaC6t
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAy5A74qVkW3
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.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcVJZuZs1pm
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcGgJgIcBF1
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAiWR8GiFviJ
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANASdArLJlpyO
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAXIcxV5QWPn
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAELdz2jDaRk
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAf7P3eyUkBr
"May I ask a question?"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAxRyHmePr89
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAzYYxRKqyVz
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAqyA1Fgixp5
"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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA7u0RDd1iTo
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZYuoqAFus
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAUvSUsYdISS
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAsJwRTNWTkO
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAAbs3yKabSl
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!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAAR1bx2HoBG
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAluT4PZnWhf
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAT4cHQQaVc6
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAYp81uawTo7
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!'
521Please respect copyright.PENANAAMfleh4RsJ
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
521Please respect copyright.PENANArIP4gt5SCM
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPeZGiEdQJz
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
521Please respect copyright.PENANANN308gCpPz
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… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAolKndjTU5H
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAkj1WaHsfyF
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAjoDfKT54dX
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAEV0iPFCnrZ
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA42Jm6BdEkK
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANASA6Sdd7mT5
All around, he could hear murmurs.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA5moFS3OrQ7
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAuiTQA14q8Q
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnDikZFPHNN
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAclOeY8yb8H
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAvEPKHKiKi8
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
521Please respect copyright.PENANASws37U44t1
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
521Please respect copyright.PENANASIiF7wKZXN
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnS4Hh9mORZ
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANARUmCxoGxLU
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAzemFhrJf5P
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAj9VbqzvSYV
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANASupV6Dj1hB
But before anything else can happen-
521Please respect copyright.PENANAxz9xBLk031
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA1119BTK2t7
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ0rDwt89Z
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANABSyp8YVcRq
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAMIgmQZzC9w
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
521Please respect copyright.PENANAxBBXFDSOiJ
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnXTUtIBYPG
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAOGeqSFI8Pb
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAIBx30G14u2
"Target acquired. Terminate."
521Please respect copyright.PENANATZyklNzbDt
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAiqAdzXx3aw
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANARoGjA98pwd
Izuku: ‘One down.’
521Please respect copyright.PENANA8SLPhG4jLt
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAuuZ09SccbT
But he never got the chance to do anything.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAb57Q0UyuDK
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAE8k8XLzHKP
Izuku: ‘Next.’
521Please respect copyright.PENANAMqSknMfviM
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANASAW4TXk9f8
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAGoW7ZmmFXd
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhrtrZ5nJyW
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANApGpsRzhIrV
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA9ApCf1MzAx
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAyUdpXN9lAD
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
521Please respect copyright.PENANAvuY4SOkrgu
Izuku: “No problem!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhnZsfeMADb
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
521Please respect copyright.PENANAqF0qP0A0Wr
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnnc0fUOBci
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAkUfsKOIRdc
521Please respect copyright.PENANAA31aCkP52P
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAvYdl39Lpgo
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhh2vLLtz0y
Another person spoke up.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnUJ438vK24
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPdoYguRJGV
Another picked up from where he left off.
521Please respect copyright.PENANArTzPV0uAkh
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAVukGlmrT52
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPORBxtKPc3
A squeakier voice continued.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAdCjBGBlELG
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAEeKq7jlpPK
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAJUAE6fR28V
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANANMcIkqyXCA
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAp7CakGuQRU
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAzjFbH8egcx
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
521Please respect copyright.PENANANDDIUNoyNF
This time, there were three images.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAlWFmmjUEL1
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAVvkHbipS0l
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAw3pYKw5TCl
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPAqiGOIjD8
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA2YzCOHbqgf
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAeML87hDuSM
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA5V2yGk3uUz
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAhHtO6Gkxr9
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAmONyduWVM8
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANANrq7WMIN2J
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAr7vT0bIQxg
One of the males replied to him.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA8QfwovgPpD
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4ETgdaLeKx
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAS8nZ7kIZjV
521Please respect copyright.PENANARknPq70IQK
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANArax1eoOi0H
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAWdbT3bLQsc
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPJymcZHCyZ
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA1EPll6RLmp
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4nDzvZ11rY
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANATreaNJfxFN
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA8B6emMroHA
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAfun9l3ngnL
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAB9ZfWZtKLF
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAl0hQrsTiHV
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANArkZETCeTkv
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAXNErOsBYmd
Uraraka: “No!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4MVXU6ePIE
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANArRlaFCYkns
Uraraka: “Get away!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAXkd62g1U6w
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA7U3yrXv27F
Uraraka: “No!!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAFXWJIMgSDq
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA5lIHCw50gt
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAddcIJvma08
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA5ui9sgdr0H
Uraraka: “Phew.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAJSkRGqZtjq
“Don’t relax just yet.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAduMPz0RrbG
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAg4RqMIhjIt
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA3a6ZaYxKzF
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAXYuB1xGoEh
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAMLKTj5uPPs
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAGiJGiAEOh7
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
521Please respect copyright.PENANANd0kNAfA6A
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAa3lSnBlomO
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANADYWq6Ovg6G
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAY4TzzmFPh9
Kiri: “But… points.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAKkqY8zQWJJ
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAbyMnYXuEbq
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcKHULQZWqB
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZFlCf7ZLY
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAbCaPEPweJR
Kiri: “Nh!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAS45entj5Eu
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAHL7lo8dEtW
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAHI4NTpGZPJ
“Huh?”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ua5nz23q
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAqf773O0cRh
Izuku: “Fire!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAmWoaqsLbBI
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAE33ixZQUI1
Izuku: “Kiri!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANArQhytc3WCH
Kiri: “Nh!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAyBiGZn9amQ
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAxy5ysDpbs2

521Please respect copyright.PENANA257kWJ1Ryz
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

521Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q6ve174HY
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAZIvysfvTz5
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAbolpsUbKgl
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAR1fPUzcmWO
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAoVknO1Nza9
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANADX7S7MNu85
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAwNsqDV2NDY
“You were like real a hero.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA39p9hFTWNi
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4u4hyHukmh
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
521Please respect copyright.PENANAM0TXv10IQR
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA0X3f4fmchw
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAQxYF6vB0b0
521Please respect copyright.PENANAInmM1dgFGn
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAsIbO6NJzgg
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAImi5KsdZOf
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAHyPaLlmfEG
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
521Please respect copyright.PENANA1GZ9Swk6A9
He looked at the brunette.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAmNSkti4f3J
'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… ’
521Please respect copyright.PENANA7ymSvMjSeK
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAmNy3Driyrr
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
521Please respect copyright.PENANAzn6tsflZVn
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAqv21g5DSby
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
521Please respect copyright.PENANAPVwXRthGx2
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
521Please respect copyright.PENANArTXO11RFab
521Please respect copyright.PENANAkL5jgAypWq
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA5tE3xNUtLR
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnRqSv6Fv7b
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA0xlsYIMkHG
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA6ByrTRr6wl
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAR6vo3iFuG7
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAek3qLW0D5C
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA0PvivdghGV
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANABmm9h3bVpO
No, he can’t say that right now.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA2wjFx2PJQl
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAcR35lZKd8m
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA2pkd6OLAza
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANACAn05Dk7aY
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA55VU6k3vCV
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAEkE9kzmLDx
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAP2A2ccKDN6
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAAZg9pIkFfb
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAOp9gLLGajC
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
521Please respect copyright.PENANA1V6T2k51P0
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAlvwcUTCf8X
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAGAof2FWKWQ
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
521Please respect copyright.PENANARlYPJFmCxJ
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA7OK81fGtac
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAj5dKryApuF
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANABdWa3HWhIa
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA49yXUKNO01
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAuqob69osuG
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANATrYdzwM3Y8
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAqHpjSD4NRo
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAtXYPuM50iP
Izuku: “How do you-”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAKGufiBviYB
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAVy1ShsON1C
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA7RRmlo7CCF
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
521Please respect copyright.PENANANshcPNmoco
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAOF64ytdM1i
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAHyotW46MgG
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAD4wg6gjvkC
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAUzx6RULPJW
He bowed to the camera and the family.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAjV2VfopesP
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANArS6oTjnxt9
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAnBri3Ie8Ir
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."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAZbPAq9BbGp
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAw9LMk8IPY5
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAlIWAkMQF7x
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAGSdaoC4fJw
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA1QsrcYbc0H
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAzrsUdskns5
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA7L8QKJJ3DL
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAyuhLghMLRh
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?"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAOIbd8inbgi
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.”
521Please respect copyright.PENANArDdNCKqq69
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANA4MhYyLIJW1
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAkNnOcuBmfG
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANARxIWQsc44a
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.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAbA2GvGN1bf
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."
521Please respect copyright.PENANAFRfi01Ce4J
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
521Please respect copyright.PENANAg4Daj7m3Qv
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAUgBAZywFei
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!”
521Please respect copyright.PENANAKT9EaUhoXs
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!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAsRIyiFBD8E
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
521Please respect copyright.PENANA0QoczX9fRh
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAzVmbP6exTM
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

All Might: "You both pass!"
521Please respect copyright.PENANAL8YZcVGxgR
