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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAskMHCzIFar
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAGABnzyK2fj
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAKaEzTBmzcL
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8jr3AGNFlH
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqfiE0mSHYc
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.]
180Please respect copyright.PENANAgRoO0R1MIf
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANArUFVyQnwyq
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAlw6Isc1GKG
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWo5EHppoYc
Inko: “But she’s family.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAPqf50ue1o1
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZ375M6KS8F
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAgjZxB2pcOe
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZXARTKoG1w
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAckdJgyttor
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8FDan8oD1j
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANASRwJIPiIKw
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvA6AtgT1a8
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4jxztkeS3O
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAPpZ6IKSTwB
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwuw3arNXbD
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAs1GxqlzmtV
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAS5Z14cf1gz
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAv9sMIc34NW
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAha5OZHOz2A
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAynDNogERnA
Fubuki: “Good.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcTxh63RPOA
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANArti9qb2VBI
Inko: “I have an idea.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA5EwRUUkhLF
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
180Please respect copyright.PENANASd6s2yocdn
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
180Please respect copyright.PENANADvCxgW0KcF
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA7I0Hm8Tq9F
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJgh6AKI3xl
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAsuFI13GHbD
Inko: “I’m glad.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcXCwoDIkRT
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAV8XcF3baqm
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4aJ9QbQdP3
Kiri: “Nh.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAa3sUmgtoWS
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAFpPmBToBsE
Izuku: “Right!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAo9UgPfkXra
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAeOwnYN3yb7
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAkUYjGoNBa2
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzgSAUb08kR
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANADASP1naa9s
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAo77fKTnU6w
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA542xExOM6B
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA5r9XiNRhD9
Kiri: “Nh.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAEz3rAy1mNy
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAmVrizAov0O
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXdWHwxGv5K
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAPtenktGRz7
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAnLuMDAjw0P
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
180Please respect copyright.PENANALNOi6hEUkI
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwfHWa2NRNU
Kiri: “Nh!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANALiL4CBh65b
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAsXayJRaY4m
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANArWRGMhrooX
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
180Please respect copyright.PENANARTMTCyHURY
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAptHGaMCxQP
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAA0SAJlF1Ui
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzmilgAnieM
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAUHEs5Et9WP
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAN1zpXnAGS2
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAAL6I575NvJ
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?
180Please respect copyright.PENANAccV5aPm3RC
Kiri: “Onii… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZDQIQL3fjr
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA3OToJ7TxBH
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAy6fjLx16OI
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
180Please respect copyright.PENANAmw8NzU8qfI
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANALnk9orQZqf
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8DRWVUV8cs
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9oM8C1Dmz
Kiri: “Who?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8kBUGYZI9P
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAfDRRJz9TUl
Kiri: “Nh.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAGuV0kg8i3d
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2fj0IB1589
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ8OVWRfFF
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJyxtJGvp9J
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAt5Fr685lkh
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbGo7Ouhv6t
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4UaOrBKeNI
Kiri: “Nh.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwp8Ku59uiG
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAH5rRTCHppe
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA63bqSqrRDt
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAMDBO90kOf3
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAv8E1ZT6HDh
Silence.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4CaDWsr7Tg
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAR9xBWpfjG0
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA7RFkHSXhB7
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAoWCksUdgSL
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ozpf9AIxW
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA6ptaN2TSSL
Bakugo: "Shut it."
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2W4J4baFBv
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAaIBxSXNLH4
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."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvPEDdLStD1
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAnYxF7jYlt9
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzsXxH8fDVs
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXVnhidswBV
Izuku: "Probably."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAT5xdPi0OTS
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAiBbZIqNSHH
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANARpXmSYRoLi
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8Eu4EzjjX9
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.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANATDtfWnfJZ7
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8zFtaraNmu
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXxGqZGIL4M
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAavJUS3qz8L
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdpo8IqitaZ
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJ51gaVjCnS
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANADQF07Y9pjv
"May I ask a question?"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Gu1Ty9QY
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJ17vMXU0FU
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWQAwwjJXfN
"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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAgqjaO8MA6f
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqDIrn9k9cX
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAGPKZQkUDtm
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAoS3a14ym7s
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAGnfnBvLMTi
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!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwQrcBNpB9H
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA6l579WLzQg
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAHcRjAWrRv5
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8g6WClohOm
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!'
180Please respect copyright.PENANADPeYjfy3Lb
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAH5fZocZmmU
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
180Please respect copyright.PENANAk3agBcqZVL
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAAMiyYF3AOh
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… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAxU7QhvXEqV
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAt1LmRss6iJ
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXeJd58noUA
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAKoGG8Hkcuf
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAh0FyhuY0aB
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA0aBAUXeekR
All around, he could hear murmurs.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAjzbJ9Ze8kz
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAjWn6DggLjK
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzkBKmtgkAY
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJKtP7sdQIp
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAU2x9GvPdqP
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cw6ZgOmDr
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqFe4YEBhTI
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbVFaWTsqHE
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAPrNKdWydwf
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAl4WdVLI4bS
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWxFE6G7X9L
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcNaAPj77uw
But before anything else can happen-
180Please respect copyright.PENANAsvZXL1CQdZ
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA3dULbdOSiG
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAlwRlG8f6vA
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA6dE39jKco6
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZIAVxAG2Mq
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
180Please respect copyright.PENANAVULB4hEglg
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2vVw8xZ8th
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAyBVPD1tRBk
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA21SR3SfZXk
"Target acquired. Terminate."
180Please respect copyright.PENANA0EhT7SE6Io
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
180Please respect copyright.PENANALuftUGWD0c
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAB5oh1XDR43
Izuku: ‘One down.’
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbVD2fufg9l
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAYolc9KEv0g
But he never got the chance to do anything.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXWuzRXC4SW
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA5GtbfCU9z6
Izuku: ‘Next.’
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcqH1pbymGt
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANABmldCU1IRM
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANADo44mvzDQi
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzvFLkye03Q
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAt5dmYf2Try
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAky7ZX26pRR
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2tXlUfB2mo
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdmvhGgvMX7
Izuku: “No problem!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAz19ehzkjEA
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
180Please respect copyright.PENANARahOGK0xMl
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcU7qKqYFKz
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAM9a1hv3C1s
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXtkQKE13ME
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbha9E3THea
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4TGiQ5f4rd
Another person spoke up.
180Please respect copyright.PENANADiMuyf8eor
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzZYjKC6dcb
Another picked up from where he left off.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAoBYHDerRvE
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAmsrOJHTjlL
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAD35lUixeG6
A squeakier voice continued.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAE5UE7j5lNZ
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANArVSeQpcwxS
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
180Please respect copyright.PENANARIJucelB9J
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWRuyIj4YW0
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ3JspHyBj
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAP7B02BV7uS
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAG3TQyw0aNl
This time, there were three images.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAOzghyVtYsJ
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdibkVdEyo4
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAevmLe70HYG
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
180Please respect copyright.PENANATVTx6glasY

The squeaky voice said.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAL4rWiVUTPZ
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
180Please respect copyright.PENANALm3gEQX6Aq
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA0tPkYvejot
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8kOQzSPJAy
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA0G4wXSPIen
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAlYcR15ZUNZ
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAILbJrejEFZ
One of the males replied to him.
180Please respect copyright.PENANArat0o8S2So
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA6LvQ02eppm
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZm6mxyA1ZE
180Please respect copyright.PENANAOh8uKLrhHi
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAz418JAb2kR
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANADRPFUfmYKo
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA0qbm8uSvfZ
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAtzBuGr4Tl3
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
180Please respect copyright.PENANAYL5BHw2jmd
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAlUuU4DI2VZ
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAX6sQR0qeNZ
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAhSOgS7tL6Y
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJEaa4zit9s
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAg3kBDjT2wX
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzlCXe9ot1j
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAENNN4E7MXC
Uraraka: “No!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWpjGCEMkVt
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANARddh2JZHmd
Uraraka: “Get away!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA9V1TRhQucn
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXP23Zb4PCU
Uraraka: “No!!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANASyM1fRK4IO
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAVqZ0w8TWGD
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAkhlpfJ0JOd
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcJsI02tChQ
Uraraka: “Phew.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAyFTaayEoBv
“Don’t relax just yet.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbHDYWQ5Dvg
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAw13gK0Giap
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAHAIdTruHx7
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA5ea4CsP3wv
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzPWyzMhrby
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuUgGKCB0qv
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAG5rgOrFW9M
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAAxcFZRiuRt
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA50M1bQP3a2
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAVGMcdBljhz
Kiri: “But… points.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gn8dI1Jfa
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuYBnq0vCXQ
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA0UpH6cvs3o
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAn28FH4PERz
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
180Please respect copyright.PENANANoQApTEP7o
Kiri: “Nh!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAljIlp6A6lL
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAV6VVvn1wFl
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbYjFKpf0hI
“Huh?”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAc4eWffoY9H
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuWfPEwzjao
Izuku: “Fire!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAj6D0vazMhq
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAKrCIoKtXwB
Izuku: “Kiri!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAjgdmcAYzQB
Kiri: “Nh!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2P2YLiLqi5
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAQfcBOJHeEi

180Please respect copyright.PENANA4KEi4LIOEd
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAByRWjVQDIV
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdiuQhEGc6e
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzosCzMBxi3
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
180Please respect copyright.PENANALRw8An6bbW
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXncfras4k2
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA30pc0yn5sJ
“You were like real a hero.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAyUg20FaHI0
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA1wCuYOHNNc
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
180Please respect copyright.PENANA7jXrzw7q5b
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXXrebANBvH
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANADXFsv4c2PE
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4BGvsatHlx
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAQD6PC6JrCA
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANASFi8sOMVvo
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAD69VGgc86k
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
180Please respect copyright.PENANACWZxMf5K8I
He looked at the brunette.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzbaPKacPKZ
'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… ’
180Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yj4gcoysU
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXvonccXWuB
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
180Please respect copyright.PENANAYRxF6biBbY
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAtRG3oOgiW9
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
180Please respect copyright.PENANAsSTpLyR6Pw
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
180Please respect copyright.PENANASWQcjl2271
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJorbq8cYxA
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAI91PYROPPk
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
180Please respect copyright.PENANAT7LCo70zHT
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAg06qxxyI4m
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAyAHI3moGsT
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAg8uuM1qzY1
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvKweMrsGZ8
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA7pZcyzmVLa
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAiuewVYXwi8
No, he can’t say that right now.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAV9kSltjVtT
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAphJKRo3PGa
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwOI5urK1uf
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA240qXuQnrx
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAy7pssDj5vP
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwKF3Keg4OH
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWgSitIhBhG
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAK87szmQyZS
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAt2RrFPeTUo
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
180Please respect copyright.PENANANWRl7VwGiQ
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
180Please respect copyright.PENANALf0JmYTM11
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvKselhcMS8
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbJrNWyd4Z0
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4voPpMqP6l
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAP5AWABQUbb
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAiSxhe1OcJ2
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZVFoRLOhuR
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
180Please respect copyright.PENANA96Z02S4OAK
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA3jGiVFKCRI
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXNF2EbYtM7
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAavCZpksxSl
Izuku: “How do you-”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcKgYyKH5R5
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAikNGdzxsKk
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAbp6Icq7oL7
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdoS2fk4XOB
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuFPxe5dJ94
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAgXDPrhO6Zl
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAH2hLsRlWKl
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAtsNx6u4f1p
He bowed to the camera and the family.
180Please respect copyright.PENANASfqyNsL576
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAc9rE0DjKAm
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuwnjZiypQm
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."
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2fsw5x6GFV
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdLDXh53PKQ
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqQUyRnDlTP
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA28HdXeoBWD
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAMcdYwcxiWk
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAVUQzbbibvW
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAo6pTcBTshw
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANA6SdwwSdWyX
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?"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAxcTGNmboX1
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.”
180Please respect copyright.PENANACwSZCSPYGK
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAAk68VEJZ3H
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAFAHdkBKYTw
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAADnMCjpsHl
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.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAH527Zkd7MX
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."
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqnyViLkbvj
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqub5PPzyC5
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuWIAhV4iAH
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!”
180Please respect copyright.PENANA3lgKNWKwfE
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!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvMwpQf1wB9
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
180Please respect copyright.PENANAt4M9c6AnOY
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
180Please respect copyright.PENANAIuCQewE7gY
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
