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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANATALVat5F56
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAbpg5zZDorm
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAW7Bf5NNcWQ
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8JLfcTqvXM
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFX36LatfJu
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.]
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2wIYme5ek1
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIC0UiOz0WJ
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOoKJ7XAKaI
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHGa12khBjD
Inko: “But she’s family.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANASb3qMVwRAf
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3NOyO5aqZd
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANApuBpXM1njG
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANASgMgZU8YLL
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIsOMHjO4r9
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIUp2eDr2xC
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXmzw9NCJ1u
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0DPGvZ5jj5
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAw6lE47bn12
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
188Please respect copyright.PENANApusm9ttXtr
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHinhhLPyzn
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxo0GBmI3VY
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmdluq3OZiK
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEV6BMYWbEW
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqvyiuZeLXG
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6oyPRcNaOv
Fubuki: “Good.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYE55AVxHWq
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7VzaySsUWl
Inko: “I have an idea.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7YuIhPkgOZ
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
188Please respect copyright.PENANASP6Hipm1Vq
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAluHg2SWxpi
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXON2fJ09pE
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
188Please respect copyright.PENANApHGcJeglly
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKhtRzAOW1Z
Inko: “I’m glad.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJdjRA4bqDu
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlqALWAZtCh
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqEYopBz6jX
Kiri: “Nh.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmsWmGyc6ZJ
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuHXWCke1A9
Izuku: “Right!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAd77FqvRjwp
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fbz45gW8D
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvyC25zrBG6
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVR0aQBBnvn
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlSa9Dcf2e9
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANANPpiZmwxKo
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgSmLLjh6e5
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAcAzBSHx7vG
Kiri: “Nh.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVhWFryPTPA
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5CiDq726BY
188Please respect copyright.PENANAteHa3nD4iZ
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7LvtEhzP9S
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYzL00sgYEb
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0aIuIgMNeN
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA436O1A0Ndc
Kiri: “Nh!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAi9Qg6mfoMx
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZS5zABH2M
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAbcr3rEDRdt
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxMxkell87G
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAejhs6AUmaG
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAijLIda382A
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2j7y8y73uv
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA82vaBmhvR1
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJPqmS1b86P
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7bYhSg8mG4
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?
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2cbvAzlTQG
Kiri: “Onii… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgUzydjG6Cr
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqWBsoHv9Zk
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAs7W1yeAncU
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZDk3XDceKy
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzEaZM8v8WS
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3SOYxs5oz0
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqdwtnsRNkU
Kiri: “Who?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAd3p46MRXk7
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxeBrXQB5Jx
Kiri: “Nh.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZZEp7Z380U
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjaRajelDN6
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANArM3Odj4Sr2
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHLeDw5OHM5
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7ty8PQsOqJ
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOyBls5CQSy
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFp7b2DcsX1
Kiri: “Nh.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAx2XQ36GDVP
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYW5ker120H
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8PAahD1uV3
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jx2KUXoY4
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUuUGtKgO7s
Silence.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUx1DGUVOSw
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAduwSiDMvzm
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwUC0jJ8XHn
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvwJ7M0pgdo
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAw6cwT9qWHw
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8w0ixaE85D
Bakugo: "Shut it."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAa4FZpYlCAP
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlkKkqcFsX9
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."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYD1fthPyTv
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ2nFKaAVm
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAMhlOAIhyYl
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGzlmDUFybE
Izuku: "Probably."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWbfBDQbZo1
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHTnwZBZACX
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANATwFgo0EnGU
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
188Please respect copyright.PENANALSbX84Bt56
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.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4nS4KKQlC
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqBwFUnZ4dS
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAL16opY5RY5
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAo293Rty8PJ
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWC0L8Uy5bU
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANARMTmxKzt4i
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6bJWs8704G
"May I ask a question?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIA79CO0RV4
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzxhwk8wl5i
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
188Please respect copyright.PENANABeLahz3OOH
"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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmUBJyeEBkp
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgJxb9xrM4X
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGt2ktjE8BL
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4ELr5BiOUK
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2gSR4cOa0
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!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQyMHBB8eH5
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAX7P4fdV9s0
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgWRVIws8rG
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAS0fT5yo9SB
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!'
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6i9jwQbLKh
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1RkYTeyz2g
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHtYkB2Jw4s
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1TBfglybxo
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… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANARCvs9kSygl
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4K69SkmQ78
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAA9hVHMmDhj
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAR6pUa4CYCI
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxl8r2JlsZV
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKwNSughMwC
All around, he could hear murmurs.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAniBdFxvT6c
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmZPtJ5ewfv
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuE9PYH5v3Z
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANABMqOKr1qE6
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4uyEZ5HvrK
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgjHuUOvUwy
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWoMEEQuE8D
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzZilzTWh7l
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANArsxXKp1ueX
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnZRq6pymx6
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAO3IzHRNHBc
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVpg1u8gJEe
But before anything else can happen-
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaDCduFZnkh
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxGGSW29Feh
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
188Please respect copyright.PENANACOlBH87Y6c
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAas6g05cYc6
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAF6RiQo0sMu
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAeXGr8vZb49
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAa7cejyZylj
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmuzAkVgnui
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvlnHVpHsex
"Target acquired. Terminate."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXo65xLlH24
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Qkw9s8Xr
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKp6Ifo1vul
Izuku: ‘One down.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1zfTyI7vVQ
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvm6CCZXfQ3
But he never got the chance to do anything.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfXHtQs3Hsq
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwRWNz5c9qz
Izuku: ‘Next.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAhzX8veXiY0
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjsnPXlELM7
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAclCwFHvDhd
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsG9s6TDX6V
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHHxuhVmRrX
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaE5ZPmbnh7
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuB9XcgqjND
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaK0awxyEXu
Izuku: “No problem!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYul3d2gKRb
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
188Please respect copyright.PENANABmfkqbPmbl
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANApLZbWbNmJq
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAt0ytlhKlTs
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHY0fD7uqsA
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkp28LzSag2
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXWzNc8Fdud
Another person spoke up.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAdOdxLrH5BL
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlxTGLdIgdl
Another picked up from where he left off.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8aPj3on6FQ
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6LbJg4wOxN
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
188Please respect copyright.PENANADAH8R9n96r
A squeakier voice continued.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxpcmg7Uxrj
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVQt2ERV1XC
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGT5sn8rHwL
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwpi6zPiNce
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjfN6q5s2bo
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1IA3CToee6
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZzpPTJTF0v
This time, there were three images.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvPJgOXJe5o
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFoNtzdn5Id
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
188Please respect copyright.PENANABDEBTK3coE
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.

"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAa4nilOWIYA
The squeaky voice said.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGbA6lOzVON
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgSvujKj4is
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgRm1BCdSJl
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAR3HNTp1QWy
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwrvkdGo9vn
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKyv4owLsr9
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkNEc0kjWIk
One of the males replied to him.
188Please respect copyright.PENANABTy6TtbGr7
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUHfABdM1Zz
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJvyB2Qccas
188Please respect copyright.PENANANbJssUswWD
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlIbO3o2ADT
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvi9UlHbg3d
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkJeqac5ADv
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8NIHEzCHh0
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqGNwvcrtpk
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAbs9yWMkd0J
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXzeytzkwuG
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANASaPetSCoOj
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAc8MP2ojKEu
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGUEzfLQzEY
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAflGf4tq8pm
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAABiPxg7zGy
Uraraka: “No!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOaLRWJBKZ7
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuf68N9PAK7
Uraraka: “Get away!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANACtnWpvezoR
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaDsqcPWjla
Uraraka: “No!!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOqk2phFFfd
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
188Please respect copyright.PENANANiDq78Mh65
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKWBvCe9cBX
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPqnmtOFj8D
Uraraka: “Phew.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4itmoWYnj9
“Don’t relax just yet.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJF74vaA0Fv
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAglQWxboPFy
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlYq5bEAZkM
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqMcSbbr1UR
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPyWBw3SWCj
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmCmoJDW1Rc
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmn75z9waV9
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANApvgwUi2k8k
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6PyiXBACoJ
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnICr7s2hx1
Kiri: “But… points.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAG7DJ81P0OB
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANApTYQH6Qzqk
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
188Please respect copyright.PENANASXlEfq8kw3
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7EW4bA01vv
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtbf8EKuuf5
Kiri: “Nh!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAw1PLHEvrAt
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7mGXfnVuMA
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGB1t4hb76p
“Huh?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOylrlvvyQk
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAi9w1K5HmVP
Izuku: “Fire!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmu5NSwgupz
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnr6XmLzWOf
Izuku: “Kiri!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlJLeyHfGvA
Kiri: “Nh!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAhrUYxGqrSV
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAeyqox5gL7e

188Please respect copyright.PENANAcmsHELFsfq
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKj3IKhmgeh
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJSJK8Z9JT0
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvmLCot1syS
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAq4IIBVgd7c
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqKlRUBOCXe
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAyjqEIWsFT7
“You were like real a hero.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAdtJVgAHw15
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHNofyRuk6y
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
188Please respect copyright.PENANAefn7WbWX3Q
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlZLZbHOXml
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA48U26bEXCD
188Please respect copyright.PENANAziHf4jyBAX
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q5s1wQ0ah
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAMgrVAAF5xY
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgxlWX19BIm
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
188Please respect copyright.PENANAA1WLmILBp3
He looked at the brunette.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIYuQ0FFpos
'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… ’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAH1FiVg27rt
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGPBFi0IZZZ
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6rjTwtvkxv
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAbUeG16ZBuX
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8Eeh5GlCiw
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
188Please respect copyright.PENANAO5ttdNPbHe
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7IhTFoVF6b
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4gi1s4FzNs
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOMgeoqVkWk
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAdNRmLPOiEX
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAveBKza74Bc
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPHl6DV22aT
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnAeFVChVCX
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANARWBfSTn6FS
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6CCQOkdIP1
No, he can’t say that right now.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsfBfPNW824
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANApc7EqEvydK
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGnbXheV6mv
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqn4qstuolK
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4SBI6cJybO
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAf3vwjuorje
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgSw3ooRQeK
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANABPnMcBiXwO
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJi8KzOp73r
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAasLceL5DIT
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuJRVGCUHyj
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFFIUDYyaru
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfx8Sa3qADH
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANArCtDRUTUwc
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAyPFRKzZgYm
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0hiVSrqBeO
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOIQZl1i0Pv
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
188Please respect copyright.PENANABYimQESbu5
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtjkrSpcWIp
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxbKfrLFT45
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwrmSZgqwse
Izuku: “How do you-”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4TpW1qwzH5
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAf9cSPIuWla
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAG62QiUtleE
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAk2P38Z1HND
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxBuwxAUEJv
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfP3g4OFDui
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3cLpwxbAYY
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAyHC6IEZskJ
He bowed to the camera and the family.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0MAt0I7ss8
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtwT8fDC9Ar
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuBmXX4pPzD
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."
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3O2e4pswi7
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAW5Z6kmEe4i
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtXxgA3Y3rV
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANADoPGc9Fnch
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJfR9ntFiL2
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4ra4eTZ7nt
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWJqWWJbPU8
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlRF7iKFNxi
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?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHwc6ghRjkB
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.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGtovCxlwih
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAk5U4mxFLn9
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAADCyLsojqj
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4oodBnK3CY
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.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXeY7wedo
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."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHV6dIvE9GF
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqb67bMwxpm
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVKOTjBfmJt
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!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA64YlhjBBTY
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!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEMEIJczkha
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA17qcSh5EcT
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjBiJXMqxGE
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

188Please respect copyright.PENANA3TuZ6OCQYm
All Might: "You both pass!"
