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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMH0Vnb8CXW
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAqqs0DzWG2
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASqvy8lc4vu
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZU6D3IFjMM
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3hw5OfPIQ4
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.]
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcQkFWweB8f
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAi0lweWNgOc
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAM167RvXBEf
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASYPhNGh8WV
Inko: “But she’s family.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6ej9bTcW1i
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIooJky7gYV
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ4c2LpZ9C
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6n4yBy2UBM
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAC1v74JIoYe
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYd1GUQ3VRn
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQFnS2czQCT
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkCYTJQoWby
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABa9lYC2bEf
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAn3Cidx14yn
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANdQUFomDr0
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPuAgb7ftYb
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAS9xVNL9YQH
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANALELp0FJJJb
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAflYER15jU4
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0flNh5FnW
Fubuki: “Good.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHIqP156xxe
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARl8ccKHAii
Inko: “I have an idea.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARnIQTe1Msa
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv2HcbqsLot
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdNE5RcezmA
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEDJOEKlAZw
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFSDPyWBfK3
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWNdtMaj0XM
Inko: “I’m glad.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtCFbETQrEq
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsm4vC0TFNy
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxQKQXUm2r6
Kiri: “Nh.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAz58gtrQvlL
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARblqoAn5qo
Izuku: “Right!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxo8pchY7Y2
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxOZj4hZVXi
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdTNwdvNT8n
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKZhozk5AXp
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4CCPeR6Hsn
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABQXVhMIwIO
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAACZW2GFEHg
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIRqeZuoczG
Kiri: “Nh.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnHsxr7ZsuS
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
168Please respect copyright.PENANALXP24woF44
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgl9SZzjuPa
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEtRtJBJV6l
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2LUQf3poVh
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwSkTEh3gEn
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABcF5G98jZh
Kiri: “Nh!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAegtS17zuuH
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwWB9EnROfx
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA14wNAnblwD
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuREzF8zmP9
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGM7NCSTqox
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzf2o3WfzAH
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA19YUunaDbS
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACdAdokL9zS
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmZyLZvDIwc
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX7fwHytmNd
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?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWXl70iGJPc
Kiri: “Onii… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb3YbzMOOx0
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfGiMGRHHXz
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvSxHYFmQbK
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
168Please respect copyright.PENANADplm7x0TyH
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANARaWuF3xqh2
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlAw2fj9L68
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATAFDlj52hw
Kiri: “Who?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJO6S1PvtNv
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAY8iaC5cc0D
Kiri: “Nh.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACVgcnk9wgr
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAi1yWHeHYxf
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKbHCOHS5UR
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bd6xNzNEp
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAm523kSCzBI
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjL86tXoffE
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkFUI2tLVAA
Kiri: “Nh.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaFEDSwXoZU
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIpvbGq23MG
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhUImCy0nvB
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHlyyQ6bTwq
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABrODNqpzBw
Silence.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6fPlHKWkG8
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqOWqtgeqjK
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAijzQvCTJsY
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWyDTgo01Rx
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXEIGYFhwyP
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwGoUb7wvj3
Bakugo: "Shut it."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtsotS2Jn9g
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5hdMKcTsX1
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."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwT7Y2jKJR0
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQIsTUhAZ09
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEqImna7l7b
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPbEcSf7V1n
Izuku: "Probably."
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8nVEhOuSvs
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAM1uqbApmw2
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0xKwhZEPWf
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZEYg5f1QI
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcI9Dpky4Ld
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASIsroNJtPk
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjbMML35Cne
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANANFdT4jtDJU
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAI1RXhGCTUT
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnUsjYHLFMw
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVNUxeAE9Ag
"May I ask a question?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXwtFK8uznA
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9t7l6XkPbD
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfMcPiCIG4t
"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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA84qyUKrRxn
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJLSmA13vdl
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMHqh7sSbUS
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8taKd144r
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAchH4Qvtj0d
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEvz9H9E1hU
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX5gl30pO4z
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfeI3dfC6cf
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqy4cMeyjxi
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!'
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0MX1TjWt8Y
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAucbzmMvTT9
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
168Please respect copyright.PENANAB83yJoRcGG
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABd2rWEIfdK
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… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANArKHym8tYox
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcz3j3OamiA
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANABkc6oAHZmK
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAenm8kYHH9H
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoA29N37mUC
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcBWko5F1UM
All around, he could hear murmurs.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4dzDcj0jM3
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4xHYLtJ7YA
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAr2mxwNuryC
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuMX1y5QNKp
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHFydyTVM4L
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
168Please respect copyright.PENANADXcolDlEAh
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOlXDkuzPLU
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
168Please respect copyright.PENANAU5Qp1UwMQf
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1VCqGqpv7
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAghpyxyDIqz
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAL7mjvWZJIG
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcI30HhIJTy
But before anything else can happen-
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgEWpQG0XkY
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJT6LkTCn0w
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsqrjbEWvm0
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANASyZVLFyAhI
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABhrKpMpflO
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4Lid5dqhGi
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKThLXQxZFE
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkLvNsxrBmR
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXTTEk1SSf8
"Target acquired. Terminate."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzxRZGpfaPq
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuRHZLdA5ZA
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAD2rD8Xsfkq
Izuku: ‘One down.’
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWIwkQwZcGV
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAP4o4ALAigX
But he never got the chance to do anything.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgQxHPjA5C4
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAK5s8z1foS6
Izuku: ‘Next.’
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ2hWL2r2e
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8HqaOKaYbv
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAF50msZpy51
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMsVemFZ6bY
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEWPcGcyQcU
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUtk00AKnb9
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASm1HruOwzm
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwEWg9JVTd1
Izuku: “No problem!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANOHHw0nqDk
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuCdO4hL2w6
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAV61TZnhnEn
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKVb2X0gCeL
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0QfKqTs4sP
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgUqBzEhKGs
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvT39klyJSg
Another person spoke up.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy1mA2Ih4K7
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJuiqemMRIf
Another picked up from where he left off.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjAkc8DUEag
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAptpuRLWDmY
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaBgFA9mTVv
A squeakier voice continued.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZbyICZ0cq
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAz6VvxPFIBs
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1zJNqCZhQ9
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbASUB9IWGB
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVM4oFlzcGt
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATGsy51BbEZ
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUvkpQjsfN5
This time, there were three images.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVtztRpEfT6
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAE2IBNpKt7D
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfKAbOfUlee
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbv3fMuuFII
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIjzDlkq2vE
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAILkcra0VdY
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAk7JkCAxWd9
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAklZuWVcLMF
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmRBm7Pcaid
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANALDsVrE0teP
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
168Please respect copyright.PENANA44fu07bLEC
One of the males replied to him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAANizN2Q0Dk
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwFrovIY8sT
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlgvSkMdkkC
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPcVTaGTvqM
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZt5R1e0PdW
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAx90SZcehJN
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhba1Y5Nuzt
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqfj33KUJmr
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiXBpB0SNdN
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsmNGLSFEZI
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZaY6xvGz3a
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANANNBaCbVsPo
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
168Please respect copyright.PENANApzSPCB1mSF
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFlRgdAhSty
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKP7TOxOLA0
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ildVmFjf
Uraraka: “No!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAs85x2sISK8
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwjshrqG1dJ
Uraraka: “Get away!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHTrl4d6THf
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGZSB1VSKy1
Uraraka: “No!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANActlpH8J6gh
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAprRmG80ZpV
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVnfBDmcDPL
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFM79HHrO9Q
Uraraka: “Phew.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACerBLyaeU7
“Don’t relax just yet.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABkV6BMqxwf
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtXsLDRuNNQ
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASdLNHbwUa1
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuZRA3GjYbQ
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeo1ptRJZvm
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6LwrWdP33
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATdISFfZaw2
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOkZHSxs2lh
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf5rBb64G0H
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADqMtVfctaY
Kiri: “But… points.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcn5L894uRj
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWeBMtehe0p
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzJklvEeTAr
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoAvAKoV18V
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7xZpKgTGYG
Kiri: “Nh!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARSecYKgyU8
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7nSjpNisf1
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAm27cjZyO2t
“Huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmKyqvnK3KY
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkM6QjCWFT1
Izuku: “Fire!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWKuI8lJEZT
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAV8pg6y35uS
Izuku: “Kiri!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdcynhu8roR
Kiri: “Nh!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdp6ROmmfMf
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4tQlBbgiyD

168Please respect copyright.PENANASKdcQNWVh2
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

168Please respect copyright.PENANApthhNBp3c8
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAedR1aF9r0K
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKkSDQAer6E
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEHuY6b6E13
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAay7oPSbwFY
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANx0LWGltJE
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAn8bmgBSMPE
“You were like real a hero.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjQCMjzl4YB
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwW6mHM25gv
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9FsCuzEff9
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJy5RJjJcku
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf5DOxbNh0Q
168Please respect copyright.PENANASlriQJtwEt
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvbh9QYhdBi
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjjCkczrYKq
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJQWm5WOU2j
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxtI2Fod8gv
He looked at the brunette.
168Please respect copyright.PENANArOc6AH6ccq
'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… ’
168Please respect copyright.PENANATGtA1HA5q8
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3o2klqcKOk
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
168Please respect copyright.PENANACCoIlxaKFg
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVkowmuAlGf
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiVdg4NShjR
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
168Please respect copyright.PENANAd1ecv2C8hz
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYSCZQrQEuv
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoP7mLQyfNX
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvEh1d6fZ8N
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxzGULnZr36
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1KiD252DuX
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5Usgo5HRhT
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA76byoEWmS9
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFzNV5EMZJV
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7avlLi35AI
No, he can’t say that right now.
168Please respect copyright.PENANADH7T938EWJ
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQVX88gMrdu
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAP74fL3F8Ug
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEGFpIYZdDQ
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXWFxYJTzUG
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAL9i576f9Sq
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANALawYcfDpO1
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVti7mdbTkB
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtHncEX2wTZ
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxiAAXjt7m8
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdyC7TOMQb0
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwMTMs9cr6Y
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA07myOKWIkI
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQhJgaY0gIV
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtj1xog94E8
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGKrM6tIUcw
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXbHNpbB5vb
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdHVkt7LLet
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADY3v2MSozy
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgcy8kAjRjL
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtQS0kEC99i
Izuku: “How do you-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvYsW6dZMaL
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJyekF4C4no
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUCHmR1kbKI
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAixV4YEfG2M
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMqfgNzGKiN
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIV4Q8FmRtv
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuoAqg41Huc
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxlvdpgArxm
He bowed to the camera and the family.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAt3siUoo26k
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7FvAjLaeqX
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jc6z2OhWM
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."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtajpsZYBLf
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAH2R91Vh4WE
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhKgcVaGynd
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOzMONatFzx
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMdDZkYz0a2
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANARJgvTzUnYL
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb5U4e8RziG
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAI6OfFYHvMi
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?"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9tjs96l0b3
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyLtNSO1pxk
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1kuWYzNWsk
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiewaWYEzZT
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKiftL0m45a
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlekdluIB6m
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."
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzHtQXgOkyl
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ5bXJxBNU
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANALDsSe1lVL7
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQp4Ubfzj6g
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!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfx0SyWx32e
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8C7KWqNX4z
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbyccIdlq5f
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

168Please respect copyright.PENANAU1gS76Abif

168Please respect copyright.PENANA3NdFbKSAqQ
All Might: "You both pass!"
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8WkJzcFFtc
