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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxPKXXbWbZb
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAze8pRUm3m3
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAUuQBsYHBj0
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA17cpXj2vBN
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnCKgzXqFpe
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.]
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdOzs4rLsSg
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANALoKHYINf6I
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAUNnjADrLS4
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANASkiYM3bDPY
Inko: “But she’s family.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4SasAs18Jd
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVvUhiqVM1d
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAl1LmYzuimd
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0YqUMkmP1J
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANADeMUgmb78f
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfznX3M7iRR
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQVKW9CZYoD
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAo4D3oGDVRp
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAr51pioQoSi
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8vAq80BGus
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAIIW3OvDmCH
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA94MNCS1ZKl
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAMh4F7vvX6K
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8xNqjJMkHT
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfbxeHwm9j8
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsVOzuMF8qU
Fubuki: “Good.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6f5YryccpB
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOSoX5TnREf
Inko: “I have an idea.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqNHKMsisO3
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAaYS4ik8zf0
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAR3GCLmCz6Z
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA7TZA0IhN5W
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAy5Qc31JtVm
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAEicAuYOAiQ
Inko: “I’m glad.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAA59WzAYDIX
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAewkQWRN1KB
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4016Q4AnwG
Kiri: “Nh.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAeCAgeMb14H
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hr6ZKYEBO
Izuku: “Right!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAwWOQAUVi1H
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1Wcdi3LEU
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvqUNgGFn1b
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6j8ys0quZd
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA18w9aU9lVB
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAmENGCYYoen
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVN5BFb7Pdp
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjsK2fio7fU
Kiri: “Nh.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXj8T0LVLmc
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPOlFDXPrSK
130Please respect copyright.PENANAoW0OVNmQRh
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAyhk4XvOdev
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANASBY440Huq7
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAyQbFnLFwCP
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXCzgxgiT5A
Kiri: “Nh!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfteRxlyDe9
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANA1nuBZfvO2F
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAEH07PZcEtO
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQeebYPhRVF
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
130Please respect copyright.PENANArAmeXkthFQ
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3vSddEz7uB
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAWeUzrCUAws
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANASAsMk5QNp3
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOaisyZneta
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbWz48wj2Yf
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?
130Please respect copyright.PENANAh72h9x3w3E
Kiri: “Onii… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAS7ZRJEzE6W
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtFoyCWPqe9
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsvpkbqZKXC
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbuoi9zovJo
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAV5JvyiUi0I
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAskvjZ4Dy4c
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAgRQ5pQfiFs
Kiri: “Who?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQrh8PcniNC
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANALaLZpGK3NT
Kiri: “Nh.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6uRAbC0bnD
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAzgkeFqB8ET
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAIxxChbgpxr
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
130Please respect copyright.PENANASwGejPcpZ6
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAUnHBZl3s8o
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA7BFZbKoT87
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPAhSzhHj8b
Kiri: “Nh.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAMXpSJZUeka
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFnrHYQE5Lo
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA9H6Cgl01uf
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
130Please respect copyright.PENANArmPJWE7klk
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANARwlLUm3rfN
Silence.
130Please respect copyright.PENANANMsXhOqjmv
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
130Please respect copyright.PENANALUhWaPmhX4
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQsDrRcuKhw
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqZUGZ6GXRw
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqZaHG5DpGE
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ9A3Io7t1
Bakugo: "Shut it."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnJpL4OaNH5
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA42aIvnl68r
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."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPNOJN8SD1r
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
130Please respect copyright.PENANARerJNuqDfr
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3uhmOnqJoR
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAg8ZJ3xMCYR
Izuku: "Probably."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAz4mJ3kzWHo
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
130Please respect copyright.PENANADSAKeaiLtG
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAv92O2nxEO9
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA1X6e2C4Vs9
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.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAo9E6ypAxfA
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAc2avSjvDP9
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA5xSyAIpJDh
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0CsMudDFSh
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA1EOj25aene
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAABJL38ZI5F
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvZbZLrOL91
"May I ask a question?"
130Please respect copyright.PENANA9WlRe0JjSA
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA9nNNLOXIku
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAp8zgVsbzvT
"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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAUwMG7OkAVH
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAoT4gaYjYSc
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA71qrYfAjaZ
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOXYB6iFhkS
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXlAtGbcYPh
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!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtOk0CYn26Z
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAI9ceq94JOo
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXxgssWERa3
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
130Please respect copyright.PENANArNgvVIMewF
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!'
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKuTki1rkn9
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
130Please respect copyright.PENANANUDjGbmiwu
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsts2HdnLA8
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6a8KL18ASp
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… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAwZzAn5qIQN
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbnc7aQW7q5
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
130Please respect copyright.PENANABwx9ig4xPK
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtpGQ1hMGGz
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
130Please respect copyright.PENANANaxmcTWrR6
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtIlGRAGFlY
All around, he could hear murmurs.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6vGGqpUF72
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQHnVwXm4E7
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYt3V4etqLe
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfzPa9Kebp1
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAGNavh9SP4h
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAi2rkpfaHoG
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
130Please respect copyright.PENANAIU1XCdy71k
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
130Please respect copyright.PENANAg2pI09JApl
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYVInVmazZp
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAIOIkHdAtIP
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAGkDk6ikXKM
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAH9ydeDmnDW
But before anything else can happen-
130Please respect copyright.PENANAlgb74tF0j0
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0y2j8Q1mt8
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAcEKsz40cit
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANATlqa8i070T
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqDWiQJUo4V
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQcT311IadF
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
130Please respect copyright.PENANApT9Cx5AnbJ
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZaDYPukpPt
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA7plTqiDVhT
"Target acquired. Terminate."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAlb4U10EaaJ
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAoV6eaVwQKC
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA9E0yXVMBSA
Izuku: ‘One down.’
130Please respect copyright.PENANA7QpAdvMCmZ
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFhEgkGbc0B
But he never got the chance to do anything.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAr689F50jCj
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAhiETO6HXVZ
Izuku: ‘Next.’
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxqkScmPGGY
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAO83v1zDYt5
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsuB8Jqi8rI
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAEh7afE6X5Y
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANABkIR7VILdq
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAknk36r2wNN
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsncGvCdgFY
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z80Xgrc5r
Izuku: “No problem!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAur9R3g44GU
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
130Please respect copyright.PENANAcvhTtVNOsf
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAX0yXW1l0oK
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAgPsn4bj6i8
130Please respect copyright.PENANAhItMMZuspc
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxwEQI731x6
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxT3TgUuYMY
Another person spoke up.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yj0hcpcPk
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAuyEXuZWdzW
Another picked up from where he left off.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXIhvxM4mRU
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKzweztKUn8
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYCWTpIXuk0
A squeakier voice continued.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqH1xXmky2E
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANABiL9RDQDPO
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
130Please respect copyright.PENANArojviulB3n
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6ggplpnArI
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjWPeVBaQAR
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFdCDYMZvDT
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
130Please respect copyright.PENANA1lfZfLYm8i
This time, there were three images.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8KXtxMjb9L
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAb02xeqcJvz
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbReoyik1vs
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvMsSoSLcwD
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAzAnfFDasPg
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPQCb6LvFJc
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
130Please respect copyright.PENANABS5ltj2y5Z
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
130Please respect copyright.PENANA33UV3xHKRY
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtFWNg8ycI8
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZDgkYIgSu7
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAh6hAmX4mkW
One of the males replied to him.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Af5QCsz5
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
130Please respect copyright.PENANARVbp8Zy2fi
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtEn5dUaPiE
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdGYnl1EGfH
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtIGR8xZ2ik
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANALaE2RPXemf
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANACTDhbvxQA6
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYBx9VjoO92
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfiW0ASwybc
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAyK3yf09H3a
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvBFK7jjAqP
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6gqtddlWgL
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYvvIrlY8be
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPHyQi7DMbd
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA5QvRSWoQaO
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAwAfaYvadzV
Uraraka: “No!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAszdbkrRBZm
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXclWEezXvl
Uraraka: “Get away!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFD0f71ilso
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANALKwCsig8tY
Uraraka: “No!!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2jtgciE70U
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAj7k0QFeNZe
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAklp7Wx5iyG
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA44Yo2vSIFi
Uraraka: “Phew.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2VttMoAXUh
“Don’t relax just yet.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANANLmFX3EOKp
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAc49dx2aooa
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtrem2OovZS
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAerxoB803Fq
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAysDtVNS1wO
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAkvSbokkE4e
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQlSEv8SJVP
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0vGUAPS9YI
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAcxsAYQAt06
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA1x1RLvAKuN
Kiri: “But… points.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAp69CnX1HUZ
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAd13j6zKIWG
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAydWOoP7qHb
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0k1fWIGDQk
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAV7GcoF2KHI
Kiri: “Nh!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA04D6N8PINR
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAksW5qManws
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAyjZsn85zt8
“Huh?”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXlebzj5Rtb
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAt126aqFGK3
Izuku: “Fire!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQZfsKOFLBF
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAN35tZPo9I1
Izuku: “Kiri!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA415vT5hZSe
Kiri: “Nh!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjhMp9jJdcU
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfip0E2NMS2

130Please respect copyright.PENANAho1MAWq1xH
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA5XAvpayySP
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAAcdSXETv7w
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAaFdhzFPIMQ
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8S9IeuTIbd
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA13TpaPPkNj
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8WzEMbG84C
“You were like real a hero.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANADfzcGxUSya
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAWEO9LiEoSt
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
130Please respect copyright.PENANAr8JlFLm0kn
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3wZaUJs8M5
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZzctvVffnn
130Please respect copyright.PENANATCyNG8Px0u
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANADEARHZcKMN
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAa0AvWNkEYm
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6YYJb49UDF
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdDjcru8308
He looked at the brunette.
130Please respect copyright.PENANALs64v6hfWk
'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… ’
130Please respect copyright.PENANAw8t51vSKYr
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFiuZYkTcIp
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8nPlgRFdMb
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAWKLuVzjn8O
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
130Please respect copyright.PENANAgd9hkfyKfP
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsYprwOauPn
130Please respect copyright.PENANA02uImiG2CJ
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8rHmtZKuBR
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZsZI2zWwFA
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbOu8ifSue0
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
130Please respect copyright.PENANANogHk53UJh
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQZp6KkQQyB
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOgW5kLfoxP
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAR9oY8o8JhT
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANALbHaLRBBP1
No, he can’t say that right now.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAomI4e71LH2
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAn2hVcJBLwj
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAydKIldJZer
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjjzrhEI8XB
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAHhSsYCvpud
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANASnVNKRQvo5
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANATsJ1JvZsqJ
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAlenEXTBqHB
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANA66BT6Of4Zm
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAm7YnPgVVDn
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAlcHPPhQ9np
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANARopFiAfGn9
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
130Please respect copyright.PENANACYAASIrXFp
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAoZg75hA4M1
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOjTTXLn3w2
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAosBetmxpJk
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3yqoDtp2kd
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdZNchBGj0y
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAgPeh0s5aVl
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANARuMOJeYEKJ
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKZl081TjhR
Izuku: “How do you-”
130Please respect copyright.PENANATfDNA62GZ2
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQVaO9RbZJU
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA5SMX8Rifv3
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAALKkig3wJC
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAV2OpPVcANh
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAUihZr5Ga2k
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKOnbWcc8Aa
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
130Please respect copyright.PENANALerCVzsFrv
He bowed to the camera and the family.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOIvS5fO4K0
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANArh26rE5HfM
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxSED3xsekH
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."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPoG4EmuyeD
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAw6knNnPH24
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAzGLYp3t38G
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvPWDZlTFIc
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
130Please respect copyright.PENANABDgwEfjxxE
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAb50mW2k15q
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxlSZdB5zEY
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2hnbZSSq6Q
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?"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAHNZVtklwKr
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.”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKNXYtZ359W
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFAc6engLWi
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFHoaNzCZWR
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVPovovxOtd
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAmoeWMziAKr
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."
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxdHpn2GuWl
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAaQFw1MxbXu
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAg8AE5wRZBv
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!”
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdbSuWF7i7w
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!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAN1bUTQGsAB
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAJzBdLIxW2D
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVTOdmuzDZj
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

130Please respect copyright.PENANAwHdPH7dvtC
