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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANADoooPPGNBF
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAj4hZqc9PC1
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANARoSUb9Y27z
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1X83Sw84D
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7VaVUsE49y
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.]
111Please respect copyright.PENANAn5dknL9asW
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1uekmH739i
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzDOAcAxBHj
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArjJkhkRd5G
Inko: “But she’s family.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuwjeHbZccV
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtkaUAsXTE2
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZtCBRlKmBc
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANJ61riyBja
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0A4i20X12o
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANKSbLH19R5
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAj891nXwPDI
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAN11mFryYGd
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAC67LNEoIRp
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
111Please respect copyright.PENANApFeOcXjO0b
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAL3qdbRPsnJ
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAklLRRuyu8R
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxNVwIzhJUE
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAo8kbozPtDt
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxwNsf1D9f3
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYsVX49kHdJ
Fubuki: “Good.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxpb52DGeAS
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA46Se6uSqON
Inko: “I have an idea.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMy5UF0K1RL
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAC75K8VDiH2
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjk5ATuaJXB
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANWXY6ZNaSZ
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnIXJhQykvr
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA864Wgwi13D
Inko: “I’m glad.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPj7n6QuPw4
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7RuJUokaXU
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9JwHWcX9VC
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4GtxTVSf1X
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOen57H0aBD
Izuku: “Right!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPLws2aKWac
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiiAykPME6I
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1EZp94klV4
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAO0kfzIWFmo
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlL1p36Ncqc
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwBcyUdOKKM
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA80AIQtQDiV
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAT3SnVFgVno
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACpKjuCafEd
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANF3451i3s7
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmsEyvJUiWL
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwqu1X40y2g
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfawe85E1wT
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjzmluSV0I9
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuJB6gdsSIT
Kiri: “Nh!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAL6CPOvWpUs
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJVFhya9GO6
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZvtjHFsz7q
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uz4uwVof4
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA856pOnGqA6
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0MsQ0VqTSq
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArvh7RvLHXp
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAR3c9sLWjqz
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAnnz0xcgPL
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOegLk440B1
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?
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yep8O3lba
Kiri: “Onii… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAydx45SmrMD
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3pdgzFLwK7
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAauBIIPlCGb
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKkclqiX0aB
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMVI81iBUom
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANASnjlEPagI5
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8KROlYTl4b
Kiri: “Who?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIMiBipV6RA
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3mXQe4p41
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9vd79GhzWW
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7cdBx6jiJk
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXXut9Ul33O
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgzLBfmN4A7
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtCYnpIKzFK
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA63MOHCZAX4
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQVkCFd8R4F
Kiri: “Nh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqN6YvW8hSp
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA82GIrtqCHD
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA160a7xPE43
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAD1n65FOIvH
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJPyvJlCkM8
Silence.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATFwsOaluqL
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuTXD9RsMYC
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAILshVM6Jv9
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAg7gaYJ618G
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAx8HmynB9pJ
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqguaaAkAEv
Bakugo: "Shut it."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAL6kwtcfZyB
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZaOdDm4Ibs
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."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcU5rDVVLcA
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyP7fOFqxGc
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAn6OefrbCYJ
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmetRWcEBly
Izuku: "Probably."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJadUNEL9pp
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAywxPqfApDC
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAObWHrE05i6
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwiXGLDyVYr
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1UKmhWsaij
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxYHiNOS0xD
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAipHUgEQLWR
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUT2G7XCQqQ
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxx70eRL6v7
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjof9bsQlWK
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAC825WpyZ9V
"May I ask a question?"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqGshOkxzls
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hh9FXH4T5
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9JERUGJCzd
"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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGRidoNUKzE
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXGEhdTabHN
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKcAPoCG4KO
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7jUczc7BiW
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7YfJVNgcrX
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!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhqTOJRDorl
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOUZbdfGUlI
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9U1Rd80RLz
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5998XiBwZo
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!'
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcy96xZ4ZMJ
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEiQRc3VdW8
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8aqtFOHGHV
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJSgAbyj3Hc
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… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABS4EZEeEcR
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAN4qOEwXRVc
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4MUfSxMXrX
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ5El7Y1oi
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAR1tsZAXz2Q
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zp7D3JXFG
All around, he could hear murmurs.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8MgVMqMqVa
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKzPGGiYZrW
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFx4WdksrO9
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACjRxlFS9PF
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbsjEAw2KQG
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAP6uAEDkkLg
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
111Please respect copyright.PENANASBNihNoyVK
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEykfXKYSwU
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0fxFcZ1kQU
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjaFzfvp2VE
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOA99QufnLW
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAGEJkEJsLF
But before anything else can happen-
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaKGh2iLOyC
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAG0G6QLm1Aw
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANzDZpM9IBu
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAX0yNl7OwoO
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVOsdjK7LEk
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
111Please respect copyright.PENANA27m1qi1GK5
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkE6lQOCiGv
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaABBrD4RWK
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAc9DyIrkE66
"Target acquired. Terminate."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJcfKFWFcFm
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYqSWcdBvSe
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeEldcIvvZL
Izuku: ‘One down.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsiXZOz3OCY
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATQpu9tq6Ad
But he never got the chance to do anything.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXZTRwF34fQ
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXYemMNlgpo
Izuku: ‘Next.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANA379kjKlcB9
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtXyeUsAzuE
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbVPTf0RewY
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAV9AbEcGGJH
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKFYUfeeDTV
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvAEYApv8IS
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAarcs2nC9ny
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfJw6qG7sTH
Izuku: “No problem!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAr7TBSQqA2z
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEN8BKanZAY
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaT8Yx5vx5I
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1kA1UBQMPV
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQhFkujyQcH
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHgT10BC0Cf
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
111Please respect copyright.PENANAT63NyR6ZNs
Another person spoke up.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4sOyM4Hhb2
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxSvk7tmbqR
Another picked up from where he left off.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAm1cUs51ga3
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
111Please respect copyright.PENANArhmvHKkNMS
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAx0SZ9F6gOx
A squeakier voice continued.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFvWnWjkUXW
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVCNeH0qvkH
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAstlVaA2b2q
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5CM1I9Vdeb
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAImE7tAGOU
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATYgZTW8rjG
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ1yOrBJWX
This time, there were three images.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAquKyygwNWg
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWa7VW1gmYu
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1qyStAa6PR
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.

The squeaky voice said.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJEqTRIUShB
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxtymqeuuds
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4V4nHUE4YU
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8sisvSDDbx
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkWyoZmu1Qk
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXG5wS2EbAD
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgItGKBL0y8
One of the males replied to him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2hm5GJv7rX
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABrn02YRU2g
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdUk5xzkEWI
111Please respect copyright.PENANApRMt3fe7pn
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXxjerNAgsD
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd8KGpgb4OD
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUyKOm1CcGe
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaJABH1Ie6X
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
111Please respect copyright.PENANAu8xy8gTVb0
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7VsYYlwAyO
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADG9bNlXuZA
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANADfcvW4n70f
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAg4mZ3oyBlY
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfXd2In2Yjy
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYyJN0k22iA
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAocmT9EzbdY
Uraraka: “No!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPF986Q2b0Y
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlS5gkV37b2
Uraraka: “Get away!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1ojeeR8UPB
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmOwmfG3cVy
Uraraka: “No!!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAO5XaejUYSK
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjwFwGg6zah
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyCZeriQtMf
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYix9hDkdJm
Uraraka: “Phew.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfyUTHB0RZ7
“Don’t relax just yet.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA95KURgH4KS
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgkLWqO72mG
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZDHp3ySIVb
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkSnMBVgU9K
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAe5UJ8yBgs8
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8OWhkHQrf5
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsR77u4pjQi
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEuomAR2nrD
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA77iZkXa6x5
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEHeVZx398W
Kiri: “But… points.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQu3fJ386sc
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAetAyGUiVi9
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhQywfJFCHn
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkiRdHMAc7e
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA85D6epdoMT
Kiri: “Nh!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAn0w0Kn0n1U
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIt5J0TZTpC
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA505FK1EqQz
“Huh?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8BoWMXKLc
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVCfFFo0VBX
Izuku: “Fire!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALTnSpld7lI
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmnWHsvYwfv
Izuku: “Kiri!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7xtqFLjzKb
Kiri: “Nh!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9OWHPXUZLk
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6OHdud1kEh

111Please respect copyright.PENANAxXw8mL2GHo
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

111Please respect copyright.PENANA2G3kUoYMRU
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjVKC8DvsFN
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANARcYZcP9GcL
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsuzvczk85a
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUbExZigvsC
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1TX5hzYDsy
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHplgAo2Voo
“You were like real a hero.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA68lXrRH39Q
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAE2gMgW7wjG
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
111Please respect copyright.PENANAk2OwD3OX6K
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA23oKOCBaC2
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmB63Ur0EKQ
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvZulcEup2G
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANADcNbDIPDk5
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArPngeynIxf
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFkYTBJUQEn
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJhlY7IQOB9
He looked at the brunette.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOiFdqo2mk1
'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… ’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoHwJr05ihX
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVkORs5TwPs
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
111Please respect copyright.PENANABfIg8DjmQq
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANACR2Z9Xx9Cm
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
111Please respect copyright.PENANALqChuqELnA
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcPAKhX9kFk
111Please respect copyright.PENANA55MEcT8YYP
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuHevTpdGo4
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
111Please respect copyright.PENANAp1zoAMwZPl
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASRnCCj61WB
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9kEBxDmtM8
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABTATBqn3v2
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnEq16zP78e
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOOs5CylesL
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANATfrEEGVwen
No, he can’t say that right now.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAw6m63mjf5s
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAR8VqOaUVz6
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAR7G9MUh8pi
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2iq0Y6wY5W
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7TZC7NLfjl
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACfi77mWz4d
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnw62U2z8To
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYkyxuyqkPL
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABM2RD0n1L8
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5QAs9ch7XJ
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkVAdpnD7Ww
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsaDCqGPwpL
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoTKLI3ZM10
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3DP55BOMCC
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVgma93z3bW
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6kff1L64We
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnqy9LSObSg
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdyAxGC868V
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1RChTJIiYt
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1DzPHFoMQA
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzOTu1qO1yB
Izuku: “How do you-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAH4VPDqhlFD
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAA01XfKnnc1
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAznjKN7rx8Z
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAV4N8NUDQCt
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbIe1UwvEFG
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1B9XFs4hb5
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAU020KJz2qg
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2yd6SvUHHF
He bowed to the camera and the family.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAV0bkfNuj0j
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmGf9DBR1hs
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxsg1rSADtb
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."
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUoeSzJN6YG
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATMfKm9E2Q0
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACe6YV4kmZx
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6BSTJLKew
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAadoMRdO7RA
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANARut00A8PiW
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAu0LAzrYJmg
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJOD56OgybB
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?"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5hDAmLPuRT
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVe1yLIAvAt
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0j1KUK5CwO
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtRXkc5pbDm
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcNPAwJVf92
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFv0RPlFibw
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."
111Please respect copyright.PENANANYtAVopEZ2
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqTUPqO3uZi
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxaV9SpzKS1
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!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWTxocfRo5S
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!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxoI5p9Kb8z
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKpYfK2dGis
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
111Please respect copyright.PENANAe90cSOL4Ou
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

111Please respect copyright.PENANA5K0bi6A8VS
All Might: "You both pass!"
