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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANArdyf3cR3En
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUXnqVDfo5E
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtuLQtd2B6v
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8oKwcnXD3f
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAp3VxP49GrD
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.]
152Please respect copyright.PENANAh4e45DbVIh
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0xlaLm9LxX
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAaTSTpN7cfS
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuDalTgXu4d
Inko: “But she’s family.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAELaMWxbU0Y
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYrB8Ie5g8V
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2rCMJKNjpE
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJWzDuVqziY
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANADkhQIcuvk0
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAB8wSVY8Uvp
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdNEgvN7pvY
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhyZhyfGmAw
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANADfZ7gY4wUy
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzddAFZDXOO
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkjoFzRlV0j
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9hgb4ETyUy
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAbcdddF618X
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsn9Rm9JBWq
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxpfGHCBHFM
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAktoGnAmQE5
Fubuki: “Good.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAL9cDG7EPa6
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAftw09sEP6Y
Inko: “I have an idea.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA30l6MA8kwO
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhrRmMGDZIc
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAr9aRJLZNfI
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAf8VHHTimmF
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAq4r9PimN4n
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdeBCr5ROGp
Inko: “I’m glad.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8N8qUsQ1MA
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ig1Cr5mIo
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZxmxIIfRh
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANANI18xEeWmz
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANATHLuZxa1WY
Izuku: “Right!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANATyKHbVnVsi
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAc6ihOFvQA7
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4JXcMY9tgC
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAT1AiLLJthF
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPHQtVravZD
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANACsEtUzfFX2
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3EBuwIKwNe
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7HvSMiUDV
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAP9yJai1wpW
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzoBOE3gCMw
152Please respect copyright.PENANAltJPrUwQBP
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4F1hv6Njm5
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAG864lpqTTD
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8f1yeQHvSq
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQsUhpoJGy9
Kiri: “Nh!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmItZ6Cdtq8
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjqNSeB4L2y
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3iSvd3vAzs
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8nxUMfNBt0
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwQjmv2ScYx
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwJxJbXXKNg
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsW37H37VlB
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANArozjUqyhFC
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFVuSivHrlg
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUvYpnuc1Ee
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?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhu069KTnVU
Kiri: “Onii… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcOaDchhXLa
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzLZ1RcopBm
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANACm5Pzdp3y1
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANA55FwietXn8
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAj0cOndLyJW
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANApglDBjcRXj
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYbC9NflCxv
Kiri: “Who?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANArM8ZfLJ2hM
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqHLS8TCjgn
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyTkaUaG6fW
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsPzqSLs8m5
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGPkgoFhPrS
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfpxkzZ3T9O
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA06KLiY8f5X
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAev2sL1uj8f
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA57mOFSR13e
Kiri: “Nh.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAe7Q2XtvYYv
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxJtrHKruHs
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ340O999N
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUrs11tOdGy
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAL6yUeipkzW
Silence.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4QVagSqOMV
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjUuHBXjXOF
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANA397754m9hk
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKT3aDpJNta
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANA42q7NdHYcF
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyiMSSVB14L
Bakugo: "Shut it."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQHnqq3g84w
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2HmIHIx8mM
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."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAczAtb25dzC
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkTOmkeMxKf
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKo9j7NFBNb
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAI9UxKXwxds
Izuku: "Probably."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdzG2r9Irdu
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
152Please respect copyright.PENANACFwhUMLDNy
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJQiLRGq70s
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
152Please respect copyright.PENANALn1uY1B4ZA
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjG31dHpq9u
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAO9fhkyhyqT
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAz4ZXCyQdKH
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMuNfznvvb9
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4DRuBITO8O
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKEoBIMOEw3
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ0chWDdgS
"May I ask a question?"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnS1FuyqtbK
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAoMELZi90yG
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
152Please respect copyright.PENANARLPwJAxZSW
"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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANA66jWWpDqoj
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ0EgGcL4c
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAd1ed85qURI
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANACtWyPFOOuG
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8ThLja6hKt
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!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANALjwNiSkq57
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdA87pBXVwD
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7VKXEhIzeV
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
152Please respect copyright.PENANASPMoWrOUr5
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!'
152Please respect copyright.PENANAEb75Bftt5g
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIA63bVYPR4
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjfaJ9D0ZW7
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAK6HtIA0SHL
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… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfPMXqwp9CO
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJRSttMBNpT
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
152Please respect copyright.PENANASApL80nkCW
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7cMPBI8vLz
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
152Please respect copyright.PENANASIVmgtCYqM
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Hp7FWJxf
All around, he could hear murmurs.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3uuMPI4965
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1pKLViaTA8
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3f4md8BVCr
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANADeBUFnb6Uf
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJhamEQtAFo
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2docBOVIkx
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAbJYt4pzMGh
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYKJgLe1lWG
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA01L2wmLRfR
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhTmugjFthR
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7VbWj1p5wG
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANARqtSrVYCfM
But before anything else can happen-
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnY2vZRLA2G
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZanyzHiB3S
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAA6vppGxJRt
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAefnI6mP934
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQowsjFMQJl
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKeUOaoeZIZ
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsMs0SyxEXa
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJi2iekEcsz
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAXtgAyij8Am
"Target acquired. Terminate."
152Please respect copyright.PENANABtDOIzkYyx
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0e33XKTQDQ
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6mQeLUMmo5
Izuku: ‘One down.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfMouV59jrv
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA75QeOXY959
But he never got the chance to do anything.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlYixzgAE81
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPDUeMl3FD2
Izuku: ‘Next.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMn0sqfJ0KO
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjb3YhUktC1
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFY6jUalOgZ
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIfLtqyRMAg
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZxWKpMYZf0
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvBSs9uEbih
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQIXICUtRSI
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwYTqb0PvtL
Izuku: “No problem!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFeX6WBVlVz
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
152Please respect copyright.PENANA5aerPkmMfQ
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANASQeick4fhf
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYiybqocyNy
152Please respect copyright.PENANAb39hyot35v
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6bTmR29L8r
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqjCUxGaWCc
Another person spoke up.
152Please respect copyright.PENANApHRAJ5BaUW
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJXW7qndOs3
Another picked up from where he left off.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3CSgmCXXT8
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJQhvEyAEAu
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcnXghOJUtl
A squeakier voice continued.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxfH5fWJP6D
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrdjZQVx6
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJ37BNT9DhC
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4czSc1FLS8
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmIJRyTPH4P
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
152Please respect copyright.PENANALLwF6cjDM5
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAb2KddPwP1z
This time, there were three images.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4g8Lt0s3MJ
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAueNCAwgb5q
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9w6elHqj7A
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlQY1yCyAE5
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9RnjSei7s4
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZapwc6vJkF
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
152Please respect copyright.PENANARbDr1ltCDy
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAf3yZVVHxqL
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAL9IOQlVTFM
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxIoCTgioRH
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAz5bAFdqsjf
One of the males replied to him.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGiJRosNSUI
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnaSQpjK25O
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMTEoppB14r
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJtX26fqrZ1
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7HrFcF2aR2
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKvvI9OewRQ
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZOA7w8f7bL
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAekyKwWDHmM
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsyjU1kXuZC
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6QHjEom7Dc
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAOSJ0qgoG3F
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAoti16OjSkV
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGA2gw8HK7u
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgTuitRQzVT
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAd283zdi4Lo
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqiz2dcPSoN
Uraraka: “No!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkdjeORor7l
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUK13tQVjD4
Uraraka: “Get away!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAiUNbO8zUzC
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAEBaRwahrGc
Uraraka: “No!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6kNHPT9cR8
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA66Ztvn4wXw
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWEQOZ3wNHg
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA52i6NkNKNR
Uraraka: “Phew.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKkDVIfPvU1
“Don’t relax just yet.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAS22mp5HpCU
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcCHVyLJDmx
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAh6zl3Kk0S7
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
152Please respect copyright.PENANADiz1rADW8p
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0rsoCC1ius
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAoov7zQWSOP
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
152Please respect copyright.PENANArXVolRb8rI
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAiy70YJzQXe
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAEk0aLx1w8X
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAeZlYCRafn7
Kiri: “But… points.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANADoobRX5WfM
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPcQ0usfs1V
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFrg90btiCk
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAXwXWPsWsmD
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA980GXT5MR8
Kiri: “Nh!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsafrJX8iNH
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsXyQ5Br7yO
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2qYrE2Fmsp
“Huh?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfSZsdGQCaI
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
152Please respect copyright.PENANATU7xxMobOU
Izuku: “Fire!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1yqMu1FyBF
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAG8a2VqKLr6
Izuku: “Kiri!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAw9aMsKW4xG
Kiri: “Nh!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0NjxTsDslu
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfq1hS1U3wT

Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

152Please respect copyright.PENANATn6gayOnEe
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnVxvA982xK
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAeE69ko22Hh
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA5itv5a5U8A
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlBVcHym3HC
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqehpfaev1f
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuBwj8LlWnH
“You were like real a hero.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANABC0UxAjyNZ
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAP9LZiG6eAt
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsiIM5ZskoM
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYE2qSCvJ6v
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1wDrfQBNZ4
152Please respect copyright.PENANA60YfZpWQX8
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmImfAydF9a
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKDqwml5B2L
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGqXuEWqFWb
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
152Please respect copyright.PENANAB1yWbhANWB
He looked at the brunette.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjKhrNIioBT
'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… ’
152Please respect copyright.PENANA5rsuDrfxf1
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyiLPTjvJ8v
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFrQ5gSbA8J
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAOHrdR4sFL8
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
152Please respect copyright.PENANA58trXAwlqd
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
152Please respect copyright.PENANACzKFKPqU8A
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjYxonHGyo3
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANANi2n4jdOtq
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
152Please respect copyright.PENANAz6QV0dxTea
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQX1F36vxae
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1chjxLgkg7
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAemqHaAk4gr
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAATqreP8bRS
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIlgtkMdayM
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAq9xBsXYXIg
No, he can’t say that right now.
152Please respect copyright.PENANArxYxKbhHfr
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANASEtkMG0DEo
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6toMZX7xQK
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAbfBwCk4SCy
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkAULeWeela
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANADbjSjABJGE
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAv928reZj38
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAahnuTsHbZu
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANASmmb6vFEcN
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANABAbUlPot53
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAO7fP4vbOLA
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAOOOOLacHYR
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAj9nleuHmfX
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFkLfl9nfL0
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZMr8fXsw6s
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtPHdu4CRxK
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0POnJTyr5e
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyhAF1uTZcK
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANARMWV4sd89H
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAv9BTBTgV0W
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYLsvSlHuUs
Izuku: “How do you-”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAujyqNpXVBN
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAm6roKntaal
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAB5f2pmEpFj
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6y2Qkpv9hE
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkjL3qOzYl2
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQNCHOA03HW
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7fIKf2F1Wl
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8DJ8R48alA
He bowed to the camera and the family.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAO4A53Gb1Na
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxm7QW9ylta
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAngWmhuxjnQ
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."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJUuSxooQhw
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAE5YuxgZvpV
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwUZsWzfRq3
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlWyZRPORNV
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAVAmAT4MpYr
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAucsu3BUHPb
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkqglXIb265
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAOBe9CQjJ9X
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?"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAArzQJDli91
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqhj9xNWP07
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnZPaDyN1nz
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAinDk7CNrL6
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANATVybtapi4G
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAduQsJUikE1
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."
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxbTue7TFeI
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAX5Qu1l0VqV
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANATi05aiU2wn
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!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMAdnfqrt04
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!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQG5uf3ZSpD
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMONCFdpYGD
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
152Please respect copyright.PENANARldcwHLW0u
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
