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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVK1gNonbs4
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZlzejS70tG
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZs9wkDRRns
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAyPVrkPKcWx
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0iwAvUpps4
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.]
98Please respect copyright.PENANACbh1ZoJY7L
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAy1INfOxoP7
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsYrZL5woBI
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAz4dkVvBMaO
Inko: “But she’s family.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZYqJENTuLq
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKOC1ngqO1D
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEWI1i63lCl
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA3vUQv7SFym
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAINKcI8D44
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqK0Kmty5sj
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAa5nf4gheVO
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAiW3pFKSoRX
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMkIB39GNdr
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4KUYBcqFtq
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAK76Fxvi0hy
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAW1d4BNGP3i
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAl10nRDdCPn
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfmOrv4fGrU
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzvhr7E582e
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA25IFBqassN
Fubuki: “Good.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAyt9F0QrUQJ
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4jajq2ftFx
Inko: “I have an idea.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfRPNIXKpjI
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmWLdce0Sdv
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAuuV2GCGr3W
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANASiPNut9DoJ
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfMVosPlBQ3
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGz0TkiICNc
Inko: “I’m glad.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbS0Eltwc7b
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAw9j6CVHOUe
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGMtdupTgJl
Kiri: “Nh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANABqrPtkzdHR
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAxR5b6PQYfF
Izuku: “Right!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWv2HFoiMEn
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA3iYinOQTZG
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5CBltF5iN2
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmzkta8nngM
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsuZPBb9jIY
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbL2Ow38zIX
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAV9nLpTcgG2
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANASJfqowcLxP
Kiri: “Nh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZFNmXqxHlA
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHcCD627XeM
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmGQfzye4MF
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
98Please respect copyright.PENANArH6ojcdbiJ
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqPynNagxiY
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAR2aH6Em9sa
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANADzW48KW1CI
Kiri: “Nh!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZHlAlAPCOS
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOcY3j9jMfh
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAk9rKazVElF
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA97ifP40Crd
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
98Please respect copyright.PENANASdX0K5fkl2
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAC9pacnYR0s
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANARUD08ixOix
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANACiP1me7nDH
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZnuxTpLk8
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZmwX9UGx9e
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?
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfwYsFmP5xA
Kiri: “Onii… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAl4JcOBw8IX
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAG1kTs8h4jH
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFXgJurNWnK
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOmQ8GNnQX0
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZUpbLvZ4yJ
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPL76ImmBbC
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPaLxLb5OC4
Kiri: “Who?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFAQw2BSbUV
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAxsTElhUMIT
Kiri: “Nh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXudBbh2kWl
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4n6iULTf86
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ9MOAIsFZ
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvbUkcmkg2Q
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9XUceiyQCB
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJHchhEMZMj
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANApuvhRdphFz
Kiri: “Nh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4IYQuOYVy
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAU2YvfHwRRy
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5S1e9EOIqF
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPAZVH7IMiJ
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANArn7HLsGBoa
Silence.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAkOB4w1TOf5
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAeDon05t0x8
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYqdVWylvap
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA31402TFVbd
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZPpFEtUDBz
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
98Please respect copyright.PENANANCuSjYiXSd
Bakugo: "Shut it."
98Please respect copyright.PENANADMHB8eIdRe
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
98Please respect copyright.PENANALQBDqt4GBn
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."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYxIHicXiUa
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWR2MDUWQ7k
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPKmGaGMO1j
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAq5lY0UFFNd
Izuku: "Probably."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEQbgLNGrSD
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1vyZ3ZPYHB
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4pF2kiWbvT
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMvlpSLUjBp
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPE6qnWYvhn
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPPS4SQbSvX
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAkVIZOB9uGC
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAupgAUIjCxz
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXRgmfXheBb
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAaTFOyHhBrL
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAogYFrcROlN
"May I ask a question?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2vGDmFkilX
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZumkWkW5Xr
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAwXEARpglkk
"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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEH6FGG5xC1
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAeZa2aNgWkf
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA93gHNuMuEq
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAblvMhKMAYL
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKYalBv1Q8i
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!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAV3u3KEpc1E
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAe0QzIO3Kza
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFju3ym5Y4j
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1LJvAigDwp
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!'
98Please respect copyright.PENANAP73GsupOzI
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKHBy506lmM
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfLSSHGHBvR
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAjpZQ74cVv5
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… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0vKF0Fwlru
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5rrloMsVcG
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJqGGtOI82l
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMm1mWwmy6s
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAxOkqUqYS6r
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAv91g32txe5
All around, he could hear murmurs.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9BnqBMTzDM
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFG0tbO2JW6
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANATdWWEfq0Iu
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFE4CPc7mH4
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA38aVP3m8iH
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2cbJVpMCDS
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJKfN79HdDN
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1qHLVhtrjy
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFFenIrZfJl
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
98Please respect copyright.PENANApv2rZWZXJ9
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAf3ywXusW0r
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbq8FkmV6QF
But before anything else can happen-
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmKMc9E0sd9
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4UFC31PIsf
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
98Please respect copyright.PENANArUH372Mqqf
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmhGlbTrunZ
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXzLHmXhR3A
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAyL1807XMZs
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJWuqOtGFDc
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANArMYpf1NAJk
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA7HNGY62dcY
"Target acquired. Terminate."
98Please respect copyright.PENANACZHA4Z5QXE
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAe73PXcSvsC
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZ84U744sPX
Izuku: ‘One down.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPqAKeAKTPZ
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANATz2pvMIRSs
But he never got the chance to do anything.
98Please respect copyright.PENANALeRlJFMCX6
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPt4lXxJsqo
Izuku: ‘Next.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWZcedY8WxM
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2JOHAGO7i0
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA7iEZ2iLG9U
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2ocEQUaT3f
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAiPBf7wRxay
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAU6SUaeA6wu
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWBOhSAju9e
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAA7M1jzbBuc
Izuku: “No problem!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKtwK3NmVCi
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
98Please respect copyright.PENANA014rt5QWGb
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAf8kKAiskzP
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsbXKbyOxSF
98Please respect copyright.PENANAs8rfekWjrK
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoXhvTnEjNr
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmS8a8vSVdS
Another person spoke up.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoCmTd6oOE6
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
98Please respect copyright.PENANANYCnDcvZ5w
Another picked up from where he left off.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmCQrZWPflX
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAdkFJ6VD1Ph
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAlSdFsctVZc
A squeakier voice continued.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4OIHmcIrDZ
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAk2jVRxMuUD
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZcQaG1FUuX
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcGmPh5kd49
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAALnR1PchD5
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMN6L8XviKp
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
98Please respect copyright.PENANARihhKybPr1
This time, there were three images.
98Please respect copyright.PENANACwi65zGkui
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYlGOGo6BeD
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFVhqed3f62
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGq5BlIbigK
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnTFpGOvqKZ
The squeaky voice said.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1zlTkHKFh3
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqR48bKBt7P
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAjDyDagGSge
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOwr5x1dOif
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.

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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKcdJq0MFCu
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAuOzsR2Uy3l
One of the males replied to him.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOIfxiulVgz
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXBm2RGmb2W
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANArbhukzWVUI
98Please respect copyright.PENANATzhuiNIoMc
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEItdnbNGO7
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAgncSmqEWzO
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAncsML3vuBm
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANATsXz7JxuSv
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mhvr3ZVFe
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA44tCKJUGtF
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA8wiSpnaEU8
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGHaqW3olm8
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA94Fv3TM6sP
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAom7qHhTD3a
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAkCnR5rudUs
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA63NzEcjZGH
Uraraka: “No!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAUid5iTHgio
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9NZmfGHkwm
Uraraka: “Get away!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAtv5a8tzQz6
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAleyuKOEZdP
Uraraka: “No!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANANtBDNMrNha
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yp7cLkHzA
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOjf2Qs1irX
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANARHIl8oUQgm
Uraraka: “Phew.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcYIMLts9xd
“Don’t relax just yet.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOTPOhn3Lp5
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAT95pyLnZWj
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1EG2oIlVtq
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAuOOJExZ2m9
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXbPJ6oithX
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKcOq54LZSI
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAobAyBG5gKi
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAE3zgtjCG42
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAK6gPH4NG0y
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEYqBTaDaAv
Kiri: “But… points.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKAK1mJt209
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAolGaKpMYLr
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHFFnzDmx7e
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHJKN75W5uY
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAf0dZUhVgDq
Kiri: “Nh!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAT2a4llphT
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA8COue0i5y8
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA77of7pqK2k
“Huh?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAW5lNQibXMx
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
98Please respect copyright.PENANASy8sge3kok
Izuku: “Fire!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVan1BQ68AV
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAyOTBfy8guZ
Izuku: “Kiri!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAgPWAodPZyN
Kiri: “Nh!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAjNfSEzBnwK
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcvJlCdKuBj

98Please respect copyright.PENANAYxktPlJUTS
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0ChWxazSIy
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANActj5bPrNXG
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGJCi5jW8no
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJVFCcyJ1ux
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmQzR2uinlW
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVo5pAiu9Q6
“You were like real a hero.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANArcj8tUkyHk
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAtMbKbi3X0D
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9jTNqxYIcv
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYVS1rSc9pj
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAxugoLCgzgt
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzE22EpCMbU
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANASDI9SxKnrf
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcco0NUuP5h
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
98Please respect copyright.PENANApOmKnolNA4
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
98Please respect copyright.PENANATw4UaaOF6E
He looked at the brunette.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGYv224QRAB
'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… ’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXYDh8tT7A5
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAgHYvjwMDob
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzvVcfE8FKT
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmyACJsZNNp
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
98Please respect copyright.PENANAwiDrsRonlh
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
98Please respect copyright.PENANABTPfGzMqf9
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ3H1szB1Y
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAuwReLbBxyO
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
98Please respect copyright.PENANAiXdWbJxrvb
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWhhS3rL1b6
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9GucVmRqR5
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANATQb8t7hwDc
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXlx0ihOwMK
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHjvoFc32bC
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsDFXBNegxi
No, he can’t say that right now.
98Please respect copyright.PENANALkFz35q7DH
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHLwT2JVbLK
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAorjZ23ACT
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVTK7FzNtkK
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5o9dVrb3aV
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANABcyk3X7lsd
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANARuSBW38HP1
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcRpDBqeq3C
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAIU4u5flLab
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAH44iDB443M
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2eQXyUeLIT
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfmJTHPd8Tc
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9ypFO13rjH
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANASZfjfD9Hf0
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
98Please respect copyright.PENANATUyE0Wt8Sr
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAgSUB0n91RH
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAQF6OJ7kzZ2
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAF0ciBic8D4
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAgHioxCxiZe
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANATe54zkPkhr
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXXnG4ZpRsi
Izuku: “How do you-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFc3VPMTxGP
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAjpGbx8l5T7
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9r0rFEad4C
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
98Please respect copyright.PENANArRQ9Sv76sx
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcZPHzZchI2
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAinKE6BV2b4
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcDfu0wTS6E
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnWzFaqHLb3
He bowed to the camera and the family.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAiZH5gZcMhW
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANANFrHBruxNk
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAhsKywgvQ0z
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."
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2bJlNHxLZG
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAT9tczrszSW
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA3kHlcz29fD
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAp0PCjudxoJ
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmETuNycIWO
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOCRBjPZ5Ee
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
98Please respect copyright.PENANApm7rTiqu3x
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPz8vqO04ng
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?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXc1Y2jp9Dc
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHLCU669E6p
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAlLgdCwhMM7
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAeCNMeTlM0T
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJOl9Ve800d
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqyt2wslj54
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."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAxK7wOFd81N
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
98Please respect copyright.PENANADuohnKOCxC
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAR6ReDcBxQk
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!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAjYt5jaYSav
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!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANApj0ZN1HiqD
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5gXu1e1dm1
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAssQG1eN9sN
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

98Please respect copyright.PENANAk8LDCvEaSb
All Might: "You both pass!"
