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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAdDPhhAZaE5
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9fxHZ1Rhp8
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAikzhyNmGL2
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9TOTG68g9J
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAS1HYmrb5T3
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.]
493Please respect copyright.PENANAcLyBQlvgJ7
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhAG6CxMgIX
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAMRbwcOp1eU
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAZq5eJoRDZq
Inko: “But she’s family.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhC39p0TkXu
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAtcXTI4XA3J
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAw3jPa9wAf3
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA5juuvXX935
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAfYUQruWed1
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhfZOwKn2ga
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAPc5YU4MixY
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
493Please respect copyright.PENANADfsb8SOx4j
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAppaui4xUMn
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
493Please respect copyright.PENANABKENWWldC4
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAm75qKOm0Vm
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAiNoYdZjYIq
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAwpUO6srCvJ
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhDOVyydcQZ
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAAYJEFtC39J
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA032V7v3o7m
Fubuki: “Good.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAVweJDKGv32
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAxwDe7dCgRP
Inko: “I have an idea.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8YAtIIRZD
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAYXlCgeoTWe
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAoiXkxOA44L
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAeLnusNMsrp
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQNU6UKaZbV
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5UXhFJggZ
Inko: “I’m glad.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANADU4c8QKXum
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAlGgTQqV9UD
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQM7YVpC0aQ
Kiri: “Nh.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAufbwtuvxW2
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAZtsmCeMhUp
Izuku: “Right!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAvu9Eixz08b
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAShFqJ7EZcK
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAscMNnbRzRO
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAnl3evfv0Ev
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmN1kaWfTnW
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAHmLgVZxjcN
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAIUFdZjO7Lt
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAG4XauNxrtJ
Kiri: “Nh.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA3190jJf84U
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQwnDcX1HAL
493Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Nmyc5ArS
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAspRCivoDIJ
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAuZCQVJyJzg
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAut3cqzdbRL
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9RZitXWtLS
Kiri: “Nh!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAMUW5fpRUVE
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAwUbCVdLfj4
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkqV5KHPl2Z
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAshYRkqXFG9
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAujSfWZJ3Br
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAKarhF3yt7s
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZmESBpU5n
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAUNImsrJr1R
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAVCvTTNunDX
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANApO2ched8le
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?
493Please respect copyright.PENANANKcbAvbdAU
Kiri: “Onii… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmjkXJURfq9
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAc9QmYOAd0Y
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAlmterSypsn
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
493Please respect copyright.PENANAHcy3h9g4gs
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAFMA4OGFEaZ
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANALlGNAAKxr9
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAI0vqMLcd25
Kiri: “Who?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANADwIWilGeJC
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA6jX6crETtO
Kiri: “Nh.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAt9aWUz4u0J
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAH9EYx2ikqF
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xa0Ls7Yeu
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
493Please respect copyright.PENANASBGCZcCzNu
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANADRnXCvk7Qf
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJmxwNkEv1P
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA0pknn7YZ5N
Kiri: “Nh.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAXcTDKY0G59
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAcKwuswvCGs
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAeEH8WHtK7y
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAbGYVJF52xF
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAxLe30Z5ct0
Silence.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAATfcKuOv5z
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
493Please respect copyright.PENANANR2UCBY7mN
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANACmKmmXvSb5
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA5PBCsYevAx
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAOUjq45XQCN
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
493Please respect copyright.PENANATzbOxwUqTm
Bakugo: "Shut it."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQMaNQ1o6xT
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAW68Byd7oXL
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."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAyM6zVuFL6g
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAziKi4abqSM
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAq1OllyXt44
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkwOxK7H3c3
Izuku: "Probably."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAUzktoJYcsv
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAqXaFv8D6td
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANADULjSk9ava
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAcsJaxairk5
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.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAf59MSua1BY
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANANRs4Nw5KMY
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAjrJ0dSb4kh
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAClOaOQ4efX
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAsDVeRyU4lM
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANArdG93iN5LM
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWN8DwXt2Gd
"May I ask a question?"
493Please respect copyright.PENANA8mB4m5ZirT
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAdvXWynhDmp
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAzYrTiuazol
"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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAlMeCAZ7hYt
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANASDi0qCcZEb
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAC4gRVRLqtP
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y3BEfbPAl
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA1Flur91BcC
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!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAdY73CWRaAf
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAqzSOHk4L2N
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmbeuDygtR2
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAABABkXrlKP
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!'
493Please respect copyright.PENANAF7BqHBT3ta
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ6peOplrX
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWlFVDIF1Hm
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmAio4NxwXK
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… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANApayo0bP0UG
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAUR0NP2rUNc
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAeTUeXUIbXy
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA4eXgtZPTbT
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
493Please respect copyright.PENANATSMBtp51yB
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAtilsu76QPV
All around, he could hear murmurs.
493Please respect copyright.PENANALWsWvEZOOk
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAqnUECbLGxJ
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9saU885OsI
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAxJRU2ONloj
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAZM6DNJotKU
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA3PhZUE403z
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJkNbJweeB1
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
493Please respect copyright.PENANAGOkRrqpkAc
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAL00KbrhIsY
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9XwK2iO8pD
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAXGbg5cYakh
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAsfcrygQsiE
But before anything else can happen-
493Please respect copyright.PENANALfU0YxB6Jb
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANANIjM4cSxpS
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ7kJvgNtp
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAKOddBX9C2x
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAbAOeHuQVIA
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
493Please respect copyright.PENANA2kexOVoEoQ
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAcG9rhE3w9E
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWjuMPsr0nN
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmBuO1DnIhS
"Target acquired. Terminate."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAsgCiQyG4H4
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA4J0M2DA7XZ
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA5au42JghzP
Izuku: ‘One down.’
493Please respect copyright.PENANAV0BnkdJDfj
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAgzTukCyRAs
But he never got the chance to do anything.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAht2lkCfL4H
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAYrOuo6qEV2
Izuku: ‘Next.’
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWG04Yh3hxe
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANABC3zCjOkVE
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAsPKLlyzmZT
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANATGSnG3mzEw
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAh4vvmMpTbu
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAU6dY3j0YEM
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAp49Fh4hAx2
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
493Please respect copyright.PENANAHhB5E1LRaT
Izuku: “No problem!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAX116bjwl9q
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAVRDGrwiljc
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANASG1gzNKPS1
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkNlrMiGi9K
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJBYPnQIsPZ
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAlLIwSsyNx1
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
493Please respect copyright.PENANAYKbdxY0L27
Another person spoke up.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4HZ60RCnW
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAujWXSxP154
Another picked up from where he left off.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAPDZpAdECIN
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAFxOYo06hO4
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAl5wyEFoOQo
A squeakier voice continued.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA44sJlKRAWE
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0If0S2EyX
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhl7WACbZdm
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9v1oovLWJN
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAR9LKObQTda
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAH34E8SUS3l
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
493Please respect copyright.PENANA1qoViv7geO
This time, there were three images.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAVti6yaRrJm
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA6LdtlAo29r
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
493Please respect copyright.PENANANURGu3YhGo
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAW4XdQpkxJP
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9RaEhNARo0
The squeaky voice said.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAM5FR6xZFI5
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAczPg88KP3g
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAesxJQ6sBFr
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAfvxMpDnbPv
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAAjNHbZB4rb
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAeLbYO0Soeu
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAzK1cJzY3y4
One of the males replied to him.
493Please respect copyright.PENANApqkA5L28fH
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAZfyP4ub956
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWC7Tta22CM
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJkgGPHrAAs
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANATeAW2nvWaW
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANARdW5niufUB
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAwyBQ5qDv8B
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJtwX1aoLIj
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
493Please respect copyright.PENANAOC45QbKibG
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAYF8WhCMW47
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA52qsBMSYHC
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA8jrtG2sR2Q
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAgSC3JOH8UH
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAor1n00XCxz
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAym5VNQVxeD
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAethEl7SrN0
Uraraka: “No!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZpEYtgmxH
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANARl1zqnmkHp
Uraraka: “Get away!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANACGPpEqqWCt
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJBFwCZoxgD
Uraraka: “No!!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAUjnZYEM1Lx
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAHdGyrvr8ak
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAe242WEGltM
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAKaNpltdmib
Uraraka: “Phew.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5j7y1Qqro
“Don’t relax just yet.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA6HsJeH80u8
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
493Please respect copyright.PENANABWlR6asvMg
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAOIJrN9oHua
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAz4rQZiFqFi
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAMxIGzAC9fk
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAtnPKSxasTV
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWBHdOxCbUf
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhsPjuNPjon
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAig989gIs5V
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAP9QB81q5Lm
Kiri: “But… points.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANArxNWf3Nk8d
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmXP7C2FJjN
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA9bbnh4ejvx
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAvTvSySHCHj
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJAlc64jt7a
Kiri: “Nh!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAn1xTnZ64lW
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkH1JUGVxLu
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAScwoYVz7RT
“Huh?”
493Please respect copyright.PENANApdPnTJwyoh
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAR4pDBxxXWS
Izuku: “Fire!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAr30ApCJfJR
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA16F9zxtVI3
Izuku: “Kiri!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhnNhM1Wf0B
Kiri: “Nh!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0iT6UMdmr
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAzhd5AI3Ohk

493Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2xrBsXvrX
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAprbRc4pD3K
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA39a9yhcEa8
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkBY4I69ytn
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA2o6k7VVblS
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANATBi0j1Rjqe
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAju3AirB3F6
“You were like real a hero.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAGscXgndS8m
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA0mBBXeLwSg
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
493Please respect copyright.PENANAI4vFAh5bYc
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAUbjMJ9dq0g
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAFsdp73p1P9
493Please respect copyright.PENANA4229rOAQLq
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAKxq9Kfnx3x
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmdGOTD2bzC
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQto0lk7sFq
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
493Please respect copyright.PENANAIRxTXQVw0V
He looked at the brunette.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAO0l3ygpbav
'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… ’
493Please respect copyright.PENANARLKiDeHRf9
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAFvFtXYlii4
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
493Please respect copyright.PENANAzLAR3DN6WR
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAB2bP0RgRwW
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
493Please respect copyright.PENANAr7qSyGQmp0
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
493Please respect copyright.PENANAHwz1jzrA7s
493Please respect copyright.PENANAbb5ouDRcIO
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAL49CPz1Eff
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
493Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gcy1EDuIa
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAbLtm4sin08
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA6keYKEdq5O
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA3mE2CkOd8s
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA7BNVapT3wq
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAYyWvsWEXwE
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkpphzZKISi
No, he can’t say that right now.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAXs8bSOIRSG
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANATT4zHcbWCg
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAGakZWOls8F
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAO25zIx4L96
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAwfQnKXdMTC
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAdH5rt02oar
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAV9HRNBdYVT
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAgsWZWyKR0B
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAD5q4KBCesQ
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Zu6HGCJq
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAtqC3qY0Vmj
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAIYLutO5Y6Y
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAd3WVxXars3
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAoXsn7IK8zu
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
493Please respect copyright.PENANALG9skGP7kV
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAPHpEDvRHaZ
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA1hFS0LrIwy
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
493Please respect copyright.PENANATXMcnwlAQq
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA3FiYtEcXem
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANA3JaMLixhK4
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAfqUtbbblkc
Izuku: “How do you-”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWFzBZDQ5D0
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmhPD9EuEc4
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWLcp89gOf7
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAR9P37jejf9
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAPFEe4DgAH5
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANA69E6p3LmnJ
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
493Please respect copyright.PENANARDQWlOOQqb
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAv5mp2bcuVS
He bowed to the camera and the family.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA0KS8itdqXz
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAPkzmZhVJ8z
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAcwasozKP1n
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."
493Please respect copyright.PENANAKk3pYQTT97
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANATVkO7FgPpr
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAt5vTc7yAQf
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAnG1ZezxheH
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAsRHfORTVjI
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAA8KwzgfARg
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhxFCezNyTn
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANALCzS6lchPa
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?"
493Please respect copyright.PENANACd7iEETwE4
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.”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAjFOYYajYke
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANASTTMDzR24v
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWWJMwq3tm3
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJKQtEh1sBp
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJDBVlSHIiW
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."
493Please respect copyright.PENANA2fGwHbkKt8
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAGn6j12Tnrb
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAfOuZiFt3wY
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!”
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmP7m0qEEaP
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!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAmJmbTaj05h
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
493Please respect copyright.PENANALg4qYzcWOv
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
493Please respect copyright.PENANAXpE68mXQeb
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
