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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANArCyMm0dCQO
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsMXMk58yPi
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3F80gOHedd
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANARBtVET1VIe
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAX4LihphuNh
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.]
212Please respect copyright.PENANAq5YP9gALSO
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAiJhEfE8OG5
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAizyoYY4zWC
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4M1R6TuyRc
Inko: “But she’s family.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgq7vLgQPgZ
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZ69WlfWKuv
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAaiZdV4ZREx
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAh41wADScfi
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAN42zLcMvTt
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGdCoKgV9or
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOlOMVYtCqW
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4cuKpiUjHi
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMJTA7Ymdla
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5uSmOdQREq
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAAS4ql9dTaa
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAiH8G0CPx2V
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAIi73mvE0Bv
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAga39RWQ7xb
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAn0eGqGEqEp
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANABQpmKz2xtd
Fubuki: “Good.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9cz8gKIkF7
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbERx3FcqJj
Inko: “I have an idea.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qhrqx20tp
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAWBoA3UG5c8
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsbnj2pSpIB
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAncnaiXTwHu
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAD9dY3DJYmP
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAmBp2NPokr3
Inko: “I’m glad.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA686eugHQBH
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1h2TeENjg1
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANArC5eoAw6bK
Kiri: “Nh.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkUh4ph91qO
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAEXmkJ7tPzv
Izuku: “Right!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAIVBxmB7wJA
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcd7aAGjvvn
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAxMa5xu4pqA
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vx1arAkQm
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4McQU6DlON
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4iplCGN5i4
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gp4rkyd7N
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAJRca55WS9c
Kiri: “Nh.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANATKlPJoAQqE
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5e8Xf2vIMF
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPwTEN7sST1
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOrleNpieuA
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAdgrWKNxU30
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZwkuYqEHka
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAil0tSMaDuK
Kiri: “Nh!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4XewoiiG8G
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA458UEZbWiv
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAnJhOioBw1h
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGoH5gmEDVg
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAYhaEbr1zRM
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOrfqcf4xmp
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAB2Le9EHyRR
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9tCq3yHkfN
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAySTteCRaWo
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAXoIKddLtNH
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?
212Please respect copyright.PENANAD1EMG6LI78
Kiri: “Onii… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVdgvW0lbJS
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANARNWLLu27rs
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA6gq29uEKP9
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAffqqlWiGhZ
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcCn50pXHWf
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1cKe1oETA8
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
212Please respect copyright.PENANACDCAVFuoko
Kiri: “Who?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAlxZ0vatSIO
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAI68YcBzyiY
Kiri: “Nh.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAq8aRF1i4Mn
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAHbXSbrw3WV
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8cIg10YnF4
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAO0W5XJpjk6
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZkpYbDyEBs
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAB2OvTN6vAB
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANASp64WgFWV1
Kiri: “Nh.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAu4TvCJs6xW
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA85TsJpuevi
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQNPB3P6TU0
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVD1XUTEaoK
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAj1yXyFPLCz
Silence.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8JftfaWXfa
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOTiW4HZD7u
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAEdWDZnBgNF
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
212Please respect copyright.PENANApcQHHtwrdh
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgHGe7ax7Ux
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjCLujg50R7
Bakugo: "Shut it."
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcIXdoesUyn
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtxfvOeOrPc
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."
212Please respect copyright.PENANAUtybcqfWF6
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
212Please respect copyright.PENANADYz7DGn6CQ
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAxjS3xniBf7
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQCG5vVCZrR
Izuku: "Probably."
212Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Xyu6tuv8
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
212Please respect copyright.PENANANuvI5ILrgK
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAecskWHqQ2s
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFBMTgLQlhE
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.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAWtFYIEhrbT
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhHuTCo07OO
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAHZICwTJZ8z
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2FuDNOCEbi
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAWVvZqu2H1w
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANATST9LgXpAu
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgDZ4dd6E6C
"May I ask a question?"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbUiGQ5iEYj
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAH33MEcoGju
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAqpm4ts4Ick
"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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1gIVKRHm9e
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAyqoLCp5kc5
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAxdCHcimEAR
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAXyGfRoZ3pV
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAergA6IEvdW
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!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtKpctyqe8M
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgR2hZfBsHF
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8g1nqhJCLP
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
212Please respect copyright.PENANACAmnf8jJtO
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!'
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4njDzgC5qq
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQB7Ut8e0rF
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhdUosZrcAT
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAS3EYyMFU2P
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… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjkXkF87jXr
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA6JlmG7wyZ1
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAAsyLPHZ2kD
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0JpDa7gWfE
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA35Elj7wfF9
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFmDTjBa9bR
All around, he could hear murmurs.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMD7mSxxXgw
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOKwojCDzLM
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAUGhg5bjHFA
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAL2eahoiIf5
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAwte7Et3CH9
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qn506d6oo
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAB85PISj0UW
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5VCpRS3nWT
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAW2fJWN8Uye
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
212Please respect copyright.PENANArciE5gwDI0
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANArtAf6RPakW
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAlgn5GoTzee
But before anything else can happen-
212Please respect copyright.PENANAuTjYxJQcNp
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5gMvfQ5a3C
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbXgwlijXzp
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGmCuTLilN3
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9cMJaH3wsN
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhqeLJItxQk
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvNm3r73Oha
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGSapIDfXoD
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAmJdGnoBfzX
"Target acquired. Terminate."
212Please respect copyright.PENANAHkJb72dYSd
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
212Please respect copyright.PENANApLxLTvV80O
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3cF5S40t1x
Izuku: ‘One down.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1GRqEuPRJ
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAk7EUQSvFsv
But he never got the chance to do anything.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAAox4iVJa4r
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAG9UE5lPlvC
Izuku: ‘Next.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3VuoB2P5W7
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMaMcTTQPuM
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1A0xDijCku
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMnOVu2Jbhm
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPsuoncUoBe
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANANZ8IMrtudJ
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAyqKjnHEVoS
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2crm7K6v5Q
Izuku: “No problem!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAuuaN6LDZbS
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
212Please respect copyright.PENANApOmJSPfMMu
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhGoknpxJOq
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9QHksD0kkr
212Please respect copyright.PENANAfuaDoMHC2t
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANApIq1823kim
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
212Please respect copyright.PENANALdvVqJQeCk
Another person spoke up.
212Please respect copyright.PENANACngn5oKx2L
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
212Please respect copyright.PENANAz3rrviwuUX
Another picked up from where he left off.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAqJH0yIMo1g
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cth0M2A8Q
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0INIchiKcY
A squeakier voice continued.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAJDf1hzBsnd
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhrHQfPApyM
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ununm3xe9
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9fYnY70ypi
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9HHS0E30j8
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPUA5Gq6iMa
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
212Please respect copyright.PENANAf5UFjabtMk
This time, there were three images.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZPAZGQjGgV
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvufYBRiOsI
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAG7dftobkZv
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAfOWhHZZvbj
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
212Please respect copyright.PENANARtyRf2Zhrk
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAci30qAiWWR
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkFimRGmiZH
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGSxtJmllJG
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbkpMJeDcBk
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsqNgcRmToY
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1OFLmiHl3e
One of the males replied to him.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAl0b7M593rp
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3HdJe8ZgTy
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANALYN3oMLrbz
212Please respect copyright.PENANA88sXkfUHcd
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2CCd3bOEIk
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPTK7ES1SY8
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAdGiAqGR2zh
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAr1BHrHKdVz
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
212Please respect copyright.PENANAG6P1Huw0mF
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsrD0ABU3vE
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtirmU6HrpD
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVqDQxXHi5v
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAXLdWJDN5dy
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
212Please respect copyright.PENANArk8KkuiPpz
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANADI6wuB0V6R
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA14B78LUEHa
Uraraka: “No!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKpwA2rHsBV
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgKF6ARNDA1
Uraraka: “Get away!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeB3aYbkr1s
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAaBxoKBHM6J
Uraraka: “No!!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2cbU8MZGDo
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkhrjSeTS1B
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2mqbwYqUTr
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANADKxO8MRUC0
Uraraka: “Phew.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAr3W9qeBs4I
“Don’t relax just yet.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2eJEw7l58J
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVmzkklGv3H
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA6ybvhzVcu6
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFDHR23P9d6
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ZtHkKN5y
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAHN6TPj2ce0
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8oCQMZZuFj
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAM2t3HMlt3T
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAj8T2CYgc3o
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgHxQbobHug
Kiri: “But… points.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANApbXAUogvTd
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAR9Y9ntaolv
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAJu5XOr6frU
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANArr7M5onFTE
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAB3j3uQGO2r
Kiri: “Nh!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAc1TAGyBlF9
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAWUF2JriT0w
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAndQtFMtUF4
“Huh?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKVxCf7eB5t
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAX55Hqs7NN5
Izuku: “Fire!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAwsjwV1KX4j
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANALbabjVJXze
Izuku: “Kiri!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAITCqJ8nHk6
Kiri: “Nh!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA7j0MvvrCvN
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAxDZNg5Xxry

212Please respect copyright.PENANAAXCfNzU5Zu
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

212Please respect copyright.PENANAyx0gWvNa88
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5X7U7O9r0u
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0HUyWwMMAF
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkPiehwnyhF
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAL4HQp3QU3a
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAodUFLY4kCn
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzLuKEE1fte
“You were like real a hero.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANATLX1hprWXL
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOxKAZ0ODdq
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgNZ3BKPV5B
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtU8LIi7y1P
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAorI7peXSaM
212Please respect copyright.PENANAagERzcLcQn
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAlay2IZ0IbA
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAD5LwOpgQtW
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAJcD392hMv9
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMSybms70Jc
He looked at the brunette.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2agrddkKU7
'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… ’
212Please respect copyright.PENANABTmAkFJchI
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
212Please respect copyright.PENANApTehja8c0M
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
212Please respect copyright.PENANAW8asb1Qrft
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANASZTznGewtQ
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
212Please respect copyright.PENANADLcHDgCOjR
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
212Please respect copyright.PENANApS50FpIAuk
212Please respect copyright.PENANAA8AtSpUfNV
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAJV4pDoSSZe
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
212Please respect copyright.PENANARGGtklVtYD
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA063y1g6Iwn
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAAVGUMH6Zm4
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAebmbLD4HTj
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAs0NQb2JBPJ
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAulcx4gDHjr
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcQo87s3T8D
No, he can’t say that right now.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPsDhetzC8n
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeQn1TxVvBE
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANApNDaKRbbSS
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8BekggByTX
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFNsYtCf6JB
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9OPEkfLDlo
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhP0O0YYdON
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAucfpIYRLhI
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAYoHKF7465Z
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2k25YV15yl
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQKHREMqhDc
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVoMopDcQNS
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
212Please respect copyright.PENANASg0r3E31uR
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAlu4v5Rhhlj
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsejkL823dh
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAF962u0YI9J
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgZeK32Pwmv
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFCVwe44YSj
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeMHPpJB4a1
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANArm4vLLfZgd
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0bfCvkyciH
Izuku: “How do you-”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAG4tMdxkPwi
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAoD56IJvQ7C
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA6oqDBPLT6t
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA79NE2Wj56l
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAXO6H26p4cB
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4k7AuLQggg
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
212Please respect copyright.PENANALPskZFxP9A
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2kcoXrDWrw
He bowed to the camera and the family.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAU5w7PcHK2M
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAD8H9H9oNUN
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAR7QmxPb6aS
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."
212Please respect copyright.PENANARirkElLxTB
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQCbdjPuBMA
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsOI1vFvuKO
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0AbfAXfb1N
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
212Please respect copyright.PENANANA6UtpLWnX
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANALqCuDn8dds
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzVRgLGaEzp
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAlLRkFWsSTS
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?"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5HTpGnXcEG
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.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzQCE3MsvOt
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2i7pXuhoWa
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
212Please respect copyright.PENANACTDLeiv2CA
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANArbOvIfxMCN
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANArjrrKHHDUF
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."
212Please respect copyright.PENANAUL9yWxMS5p
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAI3KjUlBN2D
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvlUe8fSbK5
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!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKeGsB1Pg35
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!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzjcUiSiiMY
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAC7vbnbbpQB
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhIegNYyB1R
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

All Might: "You both pass!"
212Please respect copyright.PENANAY8d4ca1tCl
