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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnMfOGmpVVf
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAudcwwuGmMi
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1aZOc8sqZE
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtVcGEjaV79
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA97b9Ko48ly
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.]
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQVagaX2ANM
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANARwRw6v2ygW
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZdGrsY9e9v
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANADZXeOHXtmW
Inko: “But she’s family.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEG3XYf7Eqs
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjf8K8Va8DE
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3nOkCHenKl
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4XdDcSJyr0
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUqZeOlVOPf
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAauXaqq5Z6A
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcmFFLoNTiL
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAAKALeFtWu
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAt2fC1WyTcI
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4rkJi3oyQX
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACTWgfsnAim
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUlzvu7ik0A
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3S6wVgPrVq
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAehfPby1RTO
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaESZBJMfeG
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA92hEepQ41s
Fubuki: “Good.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANANOObCB393P
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAib8EajHg4N
Inko: “I have an idea.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOmsl9EhfiL
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGyOgc1cRwB
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANArXN7ntWSzb
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJjIXoldcy6
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvexMV0HsEs
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3DXksZBS6M
Inko: “I’m glad.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACHtjv4xKxy
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaarfIcLv4G
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANALaYkswGIWa
Kiri: “Nh.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPWM4mORnkt
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0S09O6TzX7
Izuku: “Right!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPfDNesm07S
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAuJpcdPSyKP
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAngcGwS2wvD
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjfcVfTI6kZ
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfB1EVFdjJo
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0c8yqQB1NQ
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfEa2ljnwjo
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqF8nQSqvSs
Kiri: “Nh.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeHnknjOtDd
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmx5cCTg2ZT
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMy41gRMqNc
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6kFatZUzcS
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgsqw6U0MFu
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMxNBKUuPAz
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANApnCZtsaZhi
Kiri: “Nh!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaZp5xVQj7n
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjY95VQoiRg
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0XUXd3uMx
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAThhCtkDusx
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhPJXgusjTa
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6s0lLibkfP
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKmsnvECHhN
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pbp7XHKtB
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOVAD27Je46
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAuUqihqgzrO
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?
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOETAVj95ts
Kiri: “Onii… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOeufBCC9tX
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAI2wTH7UKg9
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFsMkbBuaNs
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeLbckzQipg
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxvVaePXlah
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKBiyOKjna5
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAU2uOmjhmXy
Kiri: “Who?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbEmbd3NfOl
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAi18L8YJwod
Kiri: “Nh.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANATxFO70OOX9
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4mTSjS2hSv
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHQSPlMQnDi
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsNt5Z3s2aP
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANASpZRIXFwOr
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAN6ztW0Zcpl
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyPOfuvT3ag
Kiri: “Nh.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA61FMlm0zk0
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYIeorHQX8g
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcDQugplsnJ
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVVYDElQS6N
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5g6fTeieka
Silence.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAoGgqPX0Jx
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxiaXSQ3pFy
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAG0tACuMCNG
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7qC1xwWOPu
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJthBI9EbXp
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPYcfwcKwLE
Bakugo: "Shut it."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAN9oqh1fv99
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmpXSSNEpWB
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ48ZQRnJl
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5X5hjYwNGl
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhMK6iSHNP0
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAG5EpSqHZeg
Izuku: "Probably."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMVr68xpHYK
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHGaIl7ZJLo
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACcZvmxRS4d
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaf8JACsPy1
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7AfoluxQMf
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJQjMaES5YA
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA78OOLd4dbs
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcwThzpidqI
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwh80WQZGIr
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKAY5cJ8FWG
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1UFpDUrVYE
"May I ask a question?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGCM2ldaJnv
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAD15YY8qGPu
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgPlEwCOMRl
"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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbSxGrt2azr
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANATVr6oNwcPC
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMlAsAztlWX
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANABscH2vqK8H
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXEsoHxp6zZ
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!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAA9yckgPnX
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnxX59IQ3WN
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAh8A8HAhPUV
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVNjD4I87J9
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!'
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2JtCeWqhpt
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAm9Fkka0Vza
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxNr5YvHX79
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAh1EV3VzzMj
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… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeM76djFmfK
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAe9K2NcXh6d
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3ixDMFznTa
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAiyUGibSPjc
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKSbdQ5ciRb
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqq0hljwYlH
All around, he could hear murmurs.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFhwQdta5Ei
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANACM14Jv8hPp
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW7bO3ZgRpn
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcl25QqjlLQ
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYg0Ixc4oGT
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2yD3Bba3br
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
186Please respect copyright.PENANATdzDCKcmE2
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAl3AuSEqSUC
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAibBvvgJ6W4
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6NPNSicUY
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXVJmZrwsuo
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAO4dn7CDD71
But before anything else can happen-
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmxk169o0ZU
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcUPDyrtlVy
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAo4zcItxNRq
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANACWsd1dJMWi
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
186Please respect copyright.PENANADM9OVlipXB
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzhAHH0Pv5I
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9FqT0scqif
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9QDqntjvkx
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOror6TY59o
"Target acquired. Terminate."
186Please respect copyright.PENANATDdTFY3x6m
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsEkc4yPpPq
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA93byJwFibL
Izuku: ‘One down.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhUQ16NhJee
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANABTHqFmX9Xq
But he never got the chance to do anything.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAmIsQSFnPe
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjwHzfkuv98
Izuku: ‘Next.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3UDGYKXJBh
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbe2BPdw9yq
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIDi3BnkIn1
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6ps1bSl8Vv
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFhiwQnYKWg
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzzDV43wmnu
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAItFzvLAJV2
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANANynf4xWZZU
Izuku: “No problem!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFgcfLmzQTn
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
186Please respect copyright.PENANAN6j9bCNtLD
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ldyLPrpx
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
186Please respect copyright.PENANArItilZ1IFp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAL5xY2YfcqN
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAiOW0GZdP8i
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKDN65DJkS0
Another person spoke up.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1uusKhHk2Y
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAT7vCUWw9GL
Another picked up from where he left off.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4SbbAp6iNz
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWoujrOUkDr
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOGQyWZ55eQ
A squeakier voice continued.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgsLUPGG5NP
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANABpa4BOYWTL
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIimkgaFT7v
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdYe3JVWJjY
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfMCDAUCcyB
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtdHuwREtVd
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPxjCxzXLU0
This time, there were three images.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAuCe9YwAkqK
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5SuOoFwWe7
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
186Please respect copyright.PENANALWYp52qcRW
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFrJVxas4uR
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
186Please respect copyright.PENANARO3gHdhR3u
The squeaky voice said.

"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdZs3U29LeM
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
186Please respect copyright.PENANATXvzkH2STl
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAk96ICl7hFw
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAPENgftP15
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQT27A9wF1W
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAiJvYnAzYXB
One of the males replied to him.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfTjqiLVGCy
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFAsUcojx1c
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWAlARkLZdH
186Please respect copyright.PENANAllhgOIz1uf
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJW6nyPMxfr
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFjDbVWjHzz
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANArkFQUEJcBX
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsVysmBdvjH
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXIXu5mYM3b
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANACCKmNRtYGs
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAr6LYJzg4X
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1x7yHBxTjs
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyXUPJSomjj
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFUii0XHBkb
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7YFqgB8qKZ
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
186Please respect copyright.PENANABE6SaC2XWy
Uraraka: “No!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAknyXBqj2iI
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnV1Z0BNwJL
Uraraka: “Get away!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1PQxrUkPNT
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKHaNc7KGPZ
Uraraka: “No!!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJurwjN6Ezi
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
186Please respect copyright.PENANALnIyRcnDbV
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAw4mezUrA6s
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjB5xKjavbs
Uraraka: “Phew.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA10StfZNnb2
“Don’t relax just yet.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZiX86AI1Jv
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUdcA7JL2kr
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzvY7aizKbo
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkPQCYgYGUA
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdWSW8Ip2jN
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYorW7gyxWd
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGaA72U4qR6
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAKhjQvXFll
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANASJKV4Nvap3
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvQmfJnFm9H
Kiri: “But… points.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYAWeKdiku7
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtdvNYUTaiN
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAH4TIZ1bgs7
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAiz5kOmkscA
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHxL8yJLPNf
Kiri: “Nh!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXtWPUFEKvx
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANARm5WCMd9su
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ip0n1X26u
“Huh?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAv7WaB0AMVs
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGewC2T77cF
Izuku: “Fire!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXSjIwDZfTI
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7VaTnNbcYQ
Izuku: “Kiri!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAc3KdnlZCYN
Kiri: “Nh!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAulUe5EiulJ
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAT3pKPmSvNA

186Please respect copyright.PENANAuBCVq9hydw
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAAVHuAkLaL
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANApYhIt3O7db
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcyIJwddP5K
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhQsJHovdam
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1XoiDtWLBn
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAV5U7AXwFxN
“You were like real a hero.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQVPimUpA06
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
186Please respect copyright.PENANACH3gGa8gmw
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoBYXUp3Ib1
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAavK7DiBmrp
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhXnalGt2Wl
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvYxXwPTDTY
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZOvGz6iKs
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAY0JffkE5fp
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjOfi6GPbtb
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
186Please respect copyright.PENANABV14VTUeTa
He looked at the brunette.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnfRX4kIDLW
'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… ’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWLYSnsq89P
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaNjklbnA8U
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVe0R7RMgy4
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAx3sWBtH0PU
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlm3pmgvjUc
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVQyYgnteiF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQG0ISAZNwE
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAX3vvMnth4C
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
186Please respect copyright.PENANA65xJU6CIRJ
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8gwfS8Rn2f
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6195wABca0
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANApCYGS2NZTS
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhmGNRixIHY
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANADOCx8KDG1u
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXQPzR3Goaj
No, he can’t say that right now.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAogU9R3cUVw
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANADII1fneGKZ
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5mtqLTTaPM
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqIDChFfX6k
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcorMVPyklF
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFzgcHSL7Vj
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYx5i5yxlIo
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjrTysDUwKA
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPVw7g8XGQN
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAByHEBCfdRg
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAD9iDlBdz9L
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQZw3Yl1ovt
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyeQhaUniGK
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdewEh3jNbg
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkj7GNN9LFI
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANArTwsH2HcS6
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvjbgHAGaI8
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1s9FyUmHoU
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJTw78Srkpf
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUvnEjD00Mu
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGmLHhcACRN
Izuku: “How do you-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANARwzuqudg8J
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAp4SpjvEe6y
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAPRNt0jMoV
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIoWuoasjRO
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAK5NRjcLqIE
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUMlYN84eOr
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
186Please respect copyright.PENANApJSqRsDz9N
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
186Please respect copyright.PENANADdNwdM78Zk
He bowed to the camera and the family.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWqyCAuVuGI
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoballo6Jyq
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAD3i4JEv3ic
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZMN9GvXj9n
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANApCFcQ6IgOR
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgIpG1Tv0dN
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJKfJebU9uc
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
186Please respect copyright.PENANALbeMxJKiW2
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcba3Wg8VbK
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAF3ailDtG3q
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsJz3icRZjo
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?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAefWdppXFDl
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAczvjxka7J9
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoFrTOPd96E
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
186Please respect copyright.PENANARRAbXjxlon
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAc7KAWtJppd
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkx7QPtHkCs
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAL3V4vhMSp6
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAOzHPmlCBL
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANALasOoA6r1N
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!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAss7EThuR15
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!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEj8POGyFgc
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkoqZrSfVzx
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbXUMV1wgmI
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
