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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAexsiZ0VMaN
"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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAizj7Qkv6nB
"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."

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.PENANAayfmLwmqcf

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
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
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… '
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoVyGIOs71i
167Please respect copyright.PENANAipEINnyMxX
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
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
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.PENANApOEkNR0nAh
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOgmAZmaJNe
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
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.
167Please respect copyright.PENANABLFHOLbOhe
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.PENANAKaDiVkdmga
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoJHVrvWGny
Izuku: “How do you-”
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.
