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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgRRKlLvpcs
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAonRn1LmVly
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUUU2orUO9w
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANArOeWpPGHuQ
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAq8bfRr5dPE
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.]
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnjq0apBNi1
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcFBLevR9iC
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwkjdQwyCt4
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAb9EeGRBwPs
Inko: “But she’s family.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAaEELRjhqUE
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAFa8SnLbGof
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYrWlPKn2OG
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA58CvyDiXkI
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjnHZcYJ6iv
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5wm2ypTk6U
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAFcWOUUjtkt
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
189Please respect copyright.PENANApfru4tbqds
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA8P8CUVaASn
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqyI2BEZ1md
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAdBHuS7oBcv
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAsxVdoSs4qL
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjgmln5wtRx
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAsYGi2tDnkf
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYahOapf89k
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJNwM4cVRdD
Fubuki: “Good.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANANJOrEuiSFW
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANACNvsjPdz5o
Inko: “I have an idea.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8SfgX1KYZ
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4lzO6dBxkC
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcMlK5FGvwN
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAP1X27sPZFx
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
189Please respect copyright.PENANATR8CvvrOt4
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA9plJx7g9ng
Inko: “I’m glad.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANASCbKxAy1Sj
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqwCDMqyuSw
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2r0Sn9YyWL
Kiri: “Nh.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzQGqoyqqst
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAha53KDhrdK
Izuku: “Right!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANATCwYM6pI6T
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzFPqn4YtAi
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAbF7K5dyBhV
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAErzPVKBKBY
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6EhqNSCIBS
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6MDsqH1vAh
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAD3N241pAiw
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAdUkQsS8zCK
Kiri: “Nh.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAvgXXr1YErc
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
189Please respect copyright.PENANATZOobiZVMA
189Please respect copyright.PENANA7tWz67Jeiq
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUmnyo4kR3o
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAS29LJujUIZ
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9csxeCXSO
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA9sNdVZp2wp
Kiri: “Nh!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWaHbqtAgQP
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxXD59S7wEs
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA3mghIT4BZG
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUs5cPhu7iv
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxUOFGHR9DJ
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAR4vfkOne6G
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA80dowO9zwC
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAg9WTigcLMM
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlz3OiBF0WH
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAt6qus60Fpr
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?
189Please respect copyright.PENANANH9ciPY1af
Kiri: “Onii… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAi6oc401g1h
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcNZvJVevjo
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAaAzCQKoeV7
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
189Please respect copyright.PENANATkTxvDlKDh
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcedrJy8dxu
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiAL2OXEyyO
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
189Please respect copyright.PENANADoWScUSXzQ
Kiri: “Who?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAP3vaI4Iw96
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHbWqaAksdm
Kiri: “Nh.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANACSrNdTDijy
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHIArJWZu2W
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZXQBqIgmhV
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWPFb9DqAqV
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA1THP2HEXUi
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAilJ0y46ZMe
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAuJjdPElL6A
Kiri: “Nh.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXm8HSQCpH8
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAux4LIWv9mC
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAG0RlXFyRjU
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA0qiCD8lW9i
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYVYTXzBpfD
Silence.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJETRE2PaFO
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAEuKZENcnsF
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2EUeUZNJAE
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
189Please respect copyright.PENANABQmFWO9dSn
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAh5m8VZi2Hk
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYymsrqsXs4
Bakugo: "Shut it."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAtdA8PTWYVO
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxbFehVGFJm
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANA88Ds1XmxIS
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUBgQo12vRq
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA7lzWJqGniE
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzuPjZv3zNv
Izuku: "Probably."
189Please respect copyright.PENANANlSmjGLRvr
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA3rjtf5bzB9
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZrz1etUFQw
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAR5vVxFH28i
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.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAq0cn7mMAb2
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAyrcNX2y71y
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAO44YX1ZjPC
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANANdA9I8clJB
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgISHfCjLwS
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANABJgS2jtJu0
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGH734ePYmr
"May I ask a question?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAytOTt7eFqh
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAm2Ps2TE5g1
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAmUzhoFjxGc
"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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANApbvaNwjkuW
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAI7w6zGgrnL
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
189Please respect copyright.PENANALluCbCwTKO
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAvbayLN37yl
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANASLWUxLdKIm
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!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAC20QPavIrU
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgR8I2eNucc
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAd2iRHuVH7g
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXokmAfMmLo
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!'
189Please respect copyright.PENANAsxKcQf15Rb
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA9gm9coHDOg
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
189Please respect copyright.PENANAue9L5j3D97
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcLS57uxvdk
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… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgCNQ4ThjkM
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ6wop8BwW
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAFhaQlryG9T
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAoC56CqAYxQ
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAfnzeuEizxh
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAw9N6jY5sAK
All around, he could hear murmurs.
189Please respect copyright.PENANABdCN4BFbvR
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJkUuPGLYIq
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAvu3FcOL7je
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlMTzYuzPul
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAaZsBxhBuXK
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwNiyVWWttx
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
189Please respect copyright.PENANALm4jFxlc1C
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
189Please respect copyright.PENANAULMLZKsG4X
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXcFyD1gjfX
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4Uli8e6Zxi
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANALQHccPNe9U
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAMcMpaoGhnN
But before anything else can happen-
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPXzG89iEq0
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqtG8xShKNQ
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2KQWaw4DqW
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHshlX8YQQ8
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAVKTUBZYB20
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4R4LlVE55P
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
189Please respect copyright.PENANABZYRWpa5Bb
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAizARbDnKUn
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcRFA6mxdHA
"Target acquired. Terminate."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Pgia3dPk
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAm50CpjTZkf
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANANU79i3Rwai
Izuku: ‘One down.’
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUEV97fmoPr
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAdFcueGTEje
But he never got the chance to do anything.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUBQYwcwamO
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAawHUpmtQYo
Izuku: ‘Next.’
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWPTmiE9XUn
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAeHX1f9Y7jL
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4G86vmeh0H
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYOB5wyfTV2
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzoEd4aUSgB
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4dkURnJqKT
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlbS8TV9qvj
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
189Please respect copyright.PENANABA9kSpjUEi
Izuku: “No problem!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiVhLiYSZZn
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
189Please respect copyright.PENANAH3XeVG2HJo
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAAE9XpajnE7
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
189Please respect copyright.PENANANYnuSgjhAi
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6yY3OvRvgA
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcMXv1s3Gs0
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
189Please respect copyright.PENANAtznq3VNsqS
Another person spoke up.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4U7cjJuT1i
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXwA49gUbgd
Another picked up from where he left off.
189Please respect copyright.PENANABvNPtz8dA2
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAAwAPslw83d
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAMOZGu92P7F
A squeakier voice continued.
189Please respect copyright.PENANADp3A64zuQW
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAuf7Jbca5sV
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA1cOyzjscqj
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlEQ9KClbKv
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA7HEMVR11hu
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAENge96rSIL
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzsR23uy3eC
This time, there were three images.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAak94hFjY4l
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAutzRVoKsx2
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJm7jzimXAj
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgwGF64seir
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA1VmcMDN3ID
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANADObHTgzii8
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
189Please respect copyright.PENANALzRcHOsAu5
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
189Please respect copyright.PENANASGVgdaa4nk
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAs0PXxD4q3O
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAL8nRFbrFtn
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPpfEgdnj0r
One of the males replied to him.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0GlvxvQW6
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAolYh3h6nDu
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwhH77eIfnC
189Please respect copyright.PENANADBRt1XY8S4
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAbe4UL2NzhB
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ7KE1VkN5
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6wREKnFoOY
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAFgiQKkTsHX
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUt2RsR45R0
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcjAw8tbRg0
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAclVL9kbs4q
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAoAVmF5E30n
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAmW6WuuQwSP
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAfT78MNc8cP
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAQPHDUmEpCb
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAL37llC7DkR
Uraraka: “No!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAA56QJT0duJ
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZu0ni9HN5s
Uraraka: “Get away!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA3sZYbo8Kk1
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAulGCNV11GW
Uraraka: “No!!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAS3iZ7El9LD
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
189Please respect copyright.PENANABVRf29emG7
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAsaq00tqGKj
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZSFqKVYIe
Uraraka: “Phew.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPEf0YfEApg
“Don’t relax just yet.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWswA9TMwUZ
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAn4uPEQCnx6
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAG2pkKYonm9
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA9JpEftWZ7H
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANATkJkYeu20n
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAznSjcAKjvZ
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
189Please respect copyright.PENANANbH0NrEqQe
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANACwpjMdHbsk
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPJdSjet1Og
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwCB0QX1u76
Kiri: “But… points.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAW3VySiHG2I
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANApzijC5kRf5
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA9MSb9glrV5
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxLFzg8Os2D
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGvg9pjh31h
Kiri: “Nh!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwNT7tOj2A1
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAygf0Wh8FYr
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAQsGAek0vQJ
“Huh?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJZSs5ud9DT
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAoslhmUMrVO
Izuku: “Fire!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAoEh5O47pae
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXRy7ASu9Ak
Izuku: “Kiri!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqmcDbuTBGO
Kiri: “Nh!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANATvARrClf2k
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAbjSCSKwJ0U

189Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qze6DVVHT
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnOkLsUZTeO
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAVlOaOOBQB0
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAkUUwfYCY3c
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAfz0Nx9aBfv
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXuLKVPgqPK
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAeCsU0xAjkM
“You were like real a hero.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAbmWHtxkbRl
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcEtbvUysZh
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
189Please respect copyright.PENANACL9GBf5DSh
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWUBfg37ryM
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWRuKKopP6w
189Please respect copyright.PENANAclI8g6AZPb
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAMuo76G7yzU
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAVBiuq09rWg
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqN1AlPM7hG
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
189Please respect copyright.PENANACMkb5nzcXJ
He looked at the brunette.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Iot45Xf9
'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… ’
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6UaEnH8td9
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWIRLYfAkML
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
189Please respect copyright.PENANArZE6QRVEF3
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5eYwIePhs3
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
189Please respect copyright.PENANAOvzMkzK9mu
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWneMXLTEcw
189Please respect copyright.PENANAf3WwSZq9Ep
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAe1SXzfCqcx
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZwD6njhLWK
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiYy2rDr3wy
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUgEiFQT9m8
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUE50n0LyJ0
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA9MosgFCec1
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAo7OjkJSh88
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAT8w7W9jzBX
No, he can’t say that right now.
189Please respect copyright.PENANArlPLr82MFo
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA3k21KbLBw9
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAepI1NgDgMc
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Zx1Ytmmt
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzuKgPkjNBi
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5OcSiVr09d
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHELWZ2xAgK
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGNV9Lg8SBf
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwRsCfWTxVZ
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYE33spy7h9
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAC7CbFX0haB
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAdgonvV5LUI
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlG2HliNeWt
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANANlWobHOxgZ
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAg9hsMJxdeM
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6UBgiwodeG
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiYdl98uXDc
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqmaHH4RGOy
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAkx3Sp7sWIs
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGt8TvynSj3
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAfynw99fW5c
Izuku: “How do you-”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjDgizFV9Zs
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANARohRch5jiy
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA0RGRBfO6D8
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnFFAwgUCYJ
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAExlOGFWcyt
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAO6LtAmqOez
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAyU3SULJnbr
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
189Please respect copyright.PENANACFoj5GNV3P
He bowed to the camera and the family.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAIXh8Ft5i9e
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4iBBYqbUf
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAvY5Ymf5ObN
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANALxJqxjRGyS
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANADr2aMUx2Fj
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAkP3D0Qt4AB
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAt4rj2Dls02
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiq1iN4qFGi
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAIlKKHhmN3C
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2H9ZvMjFX6
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAk9cVtrcixW
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?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYBi578HWF5
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.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjfOnqfLbKJ
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANA1bgfyka7wz
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAFE8IEYatbz
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAIkxxT3L1gv
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA3AfOjATixh
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYrwDxx3Hdn
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJWNriE29kJ
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANA7TfAt0eIzu
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!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA92oB5aEjdH
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAo9vYmBq8OE
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAuFvBWx71Ti
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z0mZdhAvi
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

189Please respect copyright.PENANANmGGTswWnO
All Might: "You both pass!"
