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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xbDmutuy
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9j5kzt7R4
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYc5Vw8Qde
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zUCFgJuSL
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpetXh55QSt
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.]
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDEkPhaNc6
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XZpEauww5
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLkbnq2wG
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqJlSk1rK
Inko: “But she’s family.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSyzdRLT14
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o5GWC8aWl
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvmYzHP5mN
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIghv56boc
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz2ONZFmlm
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ65XgQVKRQ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2y9vMGSfV
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWpmBL8M0l
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x2NOJqw8z
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYdKVMaovv
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvNhMniX0N
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh0Jz1vVim
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxInLqwiJtX
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GbRAEo4Nm
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9nFJFyXmk
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3tU5aaun
Fubuki: “Good.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJYwXNDSw
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx6y5WcOBz
Inko: “I have an idea.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzitOGrXNE
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf57Ijcp8m
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hOnRuLIO9
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3QiP1zvWY
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdVYCkGWDC
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoDHYs05cS
Inko: “I’m glad.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7vjnItFGO
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZPes7LUsg
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPww4tUdl7i
Kiri: “Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXrKZIO5af
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0sL4G7ehb
Izuku: “Right!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxysqOY01d
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0Z9aoQDLJ
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMAeKrjAHx
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA2FQ7ldaH
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP3hkYigNo
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8QALuSy4e
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwvQ0QCmeD
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqOu8JQJb8
Kiri: “Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZAc6V8uZM
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAskzqABLA
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnLatDsASk
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv9SDvqJaW
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuNvigIMoF
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwseaQcRFI
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNC313U3zX
Kiri: “Nh!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KK9l8RW7x
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH4PCDl096
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB30L9Ed4uc
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRTywi7ZkW
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3H5TBpcm3
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWyxCqL2aH
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67dSixYv3
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcglP20UjS
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQkVp3lqo9
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRTEGdcZSN
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?
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkPgeawrAZ
Kiri: “Onii… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9pqo3UKkv
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcOVXVBwMt
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2M8sFA3qe
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCrR5jYtwW
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoJNGb7deF
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwauQm7Tu9O
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BSccOWz18
Kiri: “Who?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6FFtBbNdT
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc1ieAuYeH
Kiri: “Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLfjFU2omA
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrOsf0xKVc
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jC883Khj0
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcERzA9gkDX
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMjMGR0qNW
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTeZiDGwC
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfAM6Bl8jP
Kiri: “Nh.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcf5nhdUVz
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPnIg3K46g
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4fGbDeO92
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu2VLAB7SE
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne6yMKiyMy
Silence.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK33Fy0RDq
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlVlgdgwFV
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlQsAWkOl0
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhv7aOlw9F
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryrtqaZ95j
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORpwYgsOAY
Bakugo: "Shut it."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvApBNEHmQF
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMIP7PpSKS
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksdpxzuclw
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXtpxkvWuf
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS38PF40mWZ
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbSB3r8d94
Izuku: "Probably."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrIm9wwCZw
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2GzDBJVoG
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8tMPaQwQb
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNQJQ6zUYL
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmWyt60Q7
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5v1A4J9mm
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvwD21os3G
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1djPVZlV6A
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYUeK53xcM
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1mzHUHNdl
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrIBHLQkSW
"May I ask a question?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zdPViuE8m
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ZN7ynZBc
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmstcXTWPJZ
"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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15C2krIEud
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOiNXKcQiX
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ105wOAi7VJ
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqi7pqVQGO
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EwTL1JPsq
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMlrHDvIRo
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIlqBUn6W7
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s8FrZigaI
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLRT6MebKw
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!'
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BsxzskPgB
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO8pnYqKwk
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfKHqdTMah
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy71yAgeSoC
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… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnREmCGYH3n
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHLxAklTHT
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGAR1CCApD
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IsHPVMvoM
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJFjrwMK7I
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcGUb9Ggv9
All around, he could hear murmurs.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NE4RDzR4u
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtDdRS8bmL
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8POApiMUi6
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ582HIii2T9
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSXcQEL9kt
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEbEchkASD
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39SvgFmDCw
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqIVMVMYVR
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLzSV3wdZm
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fnuFiP7PU
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmuDVyx8kw
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ719ap7v55p
But before anything else can happen-
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeqwJRaK2E
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoliCLlT3a
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpDsuhYN63
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamxcrdvn8D
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkGX87QWO9
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGnXV7KNse
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv2DTO8wvS
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkBpoloxe
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33DPU7BGIA
"Target acquired. Terminate."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbnDyyN83o
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mKaoxTAXi
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4UxklT9ud
Izuku: ‘One down.’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtu8Hq16N2
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5hD24PxxI
But he never got the chance to do anything.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfD1fquY7W
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1H0J2q9Hw
Izuku: ‘Next.’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JbUYHwUsK
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTakF19lOcF
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlavoZpCYlS
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmn2bJKovI
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wt639RU5f
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3e7rt0QGZ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKxtuk8rKF
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctvc6Kbwph
Izuku: “No problem!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMEeFJ8iHt
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS1tkCrINv
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4efD1Ky1Sp
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY5LiT35rH
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFakxpEmhaE
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNloV2GToD
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2dtQTo7FV
Another person spoke up.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeK4w3av8F
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOLXDYPLZX
Another picked up from where he left off.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0znhIsYfYa
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIDRgYycmo
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcwz4yQ8MU
A squeakier voice continued.

"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IPkzxFFNG
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.

"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsiZw3kgWk
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg4ceq0KcV
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcxhcThIUO
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTIPRY2lPy
This time, there were three images.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJf7s3pZw2
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUkqpbTkya
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r0QkaVg6x
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBTcZj2t0W
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMrK3jFjF
The squeaky voice said.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMmbT4TQLT
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2lgR5DP7w
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZbWsKj7Nd
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPzXvOPhft
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds9RhnKFIQ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxcJHovo5n
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHcglSX3LT
One of the males replied to him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB18UfvHJdw
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOl6UpZtMg
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA5TMBjZFK
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3WcMentbA
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajzojPWBlk
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGhZUbJttg
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSsA0vgq6b
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r1ExhNg1b
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDlvN8kDFC
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ucQi4BMbh
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiedFfS96ps
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgCxt3hNcj
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D7N6S6WpX
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtMwA9pZTe
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo64XEl7nS
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd5V0iRnJC
Uraraka: “No!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpksULtpenc
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkj3uoOWOv
Uraraka: “Get away!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw4yMDdM6X
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9py84o6RK
Uraraka: “No!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxumIMMnhU
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOERhwI44Wy
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCt1T0h8sh
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ktYzlkNwY
Uraraka: “Phew.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkybeAa8BF9
“Don’t relax just yet.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjnWWlS8vq
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO8Tb4NVHg
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR648OwpDHk
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCtlMcXAYo
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08J2qN2O8G
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI08OtI5n1M
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYY6DjdCRY
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD0BgOpGXY
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bMLo6sqhy
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD9j0ChKQl
Kiri: “But… points.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHETbdvkXg
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCgmLMsYGL
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsAQNXjJux
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1dgCV8pxy
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4zt681KCg
Kiri: “Nh!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqQLiFEDg9
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjPeC4wDi4
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1cpnXgsCb
“Huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZqXrVRjGs
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMBcxC4JGn
Izuku: “Fire!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTGzy7GuZi
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUqnqQpI4T
Izuku: “Kiri!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4olhcAzvnL
Kiri: “Nh!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqPbWVsurO
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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkWIruEq6V
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Ve2PBUo1
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR50MjdUPuT
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAU9XatROF
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VTOoHcyqe
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEZttlnzqz
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpNNOHrlKf
“You were like real a hero.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp72Un3BwDI
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwhIEm4Ots
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u6kaV4Px5

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi27hFaggk
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWvsFZDeOF
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2qMfvWeaF
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZOqEl1zae
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtOXDmjRAF
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKU1jhWcV4
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlUFld6anY
He looked at the brunette.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkEAs1B4Ii
'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… ’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEozyznrN6V
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SGxqXAZxj
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAT3aLMFiO
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReIZACgEON
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHJ4e6VpBR
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '

Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxksS2kezYg
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJAqZZ90ma
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdd3fJ1cz9
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEV4bRysz9
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bgmyvcVf8
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIm0bHbtNY
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHA3EipqEZ

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3uaXMoDh4
No, he can’t say that right now.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xo5P8sROy
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScASLlXa7O
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgmAZmaJNe

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ515YXaTooK
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKh0NFPO8u
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9jBrjytBB
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TGFWlYyX6
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XS6KZY0ji
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlTb6aWHhi
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAltTDilTSd
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRB2zdIvA
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.

Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdef3JEcMP
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJihDWqsYG
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLpSmopK3l
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzFabmKW9m
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalkR8Wf5kG
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYpPy80ZY
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLlQdilJQJ
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKzRqPmL9m
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdEHMa16jn
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp8clRXOaG
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAirrcWkRL
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWM6u32mVY
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOADP4UgS3
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye8vbU3cd4
He bowed to the camera and the family.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxOuqU68PD
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgidWZHyJmq
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36fuIqOpd3
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnLlcAtBvt
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV8nSC3PIy
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx0Bni5sqY
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gdnHj00mQ
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJQWnKxJG3
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOH4ojFcHn
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXylcEfHqs
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB2PTNtuOn
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?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDw4xd9ZZV
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwEH1fbYoK
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFgVS01Tqs
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCH5dJzq5T
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe2GoONWl9
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQX9ThNemj
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNTp3YPYzN
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVd7uUDoqg
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEb8Wl63Uu
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUBQYBkzUT
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtx4UTtI8r
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNBKNTNgI6
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveduxzRZsd
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
