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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAc1NUgt6ATy
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHDuSnz3NwC
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6TCDDZ23l5
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAP8M0qYNElT
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlVGIS9SZcs
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.]
22Please respect copyright.PENANAhU14quQXIz
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAEP1Jb4PFVl
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqnigJ9H56Q
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXtSnFrNAUG
Inko: “But she’s family.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAu1VUxgLL6b
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAK0P8AlyAq2
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwA1gzASAf6
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbm6KRMPweK
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQzf1Ukl3Lp
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUsH4YQ9RRv
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHg1oKDAWFC
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA1u6hco73a9
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAw1pIyjSF7c
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3f1H30y8HJ
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZmXVARAO1n
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbnAUzGNFBT
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAg1jbwFFmLH
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGHN0q1qwhP
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAfVxdkaejIg
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAL5xf5tRSRi
Fubuki: “Good.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAx2QAZqH4a4
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHO4vAvZbQf
Inko: “I have an idea.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzgGgV5Z5Pd
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgIvyddUska
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAI4yfZioyTH
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANADZzRwjCXek
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAheOdRd4tg0
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnspPOBrBGU
Inko: “I’m glad.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwemibs2Y3e
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAiMgmmSgIMW
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJtdKSA1lt3
Kiri: “Nh.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6JL4ttJAF1
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAOX68UChOAw
Izuku: “Right!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANACgDtTpUEen
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQJZeiIXzw8
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPWWopFMrbn
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0a2SZOhaUS
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAOI22fMn6lx
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAV3B7O5VPOy
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2zFf5dTnl
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANARHB7NW2gJJ
Kiri: “Nh.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAuOWOTeFSpa
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXd3jdJPA0R
22Please respect copyright.PENANApgdsKCqeRf
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2rDBrb3tb8
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJSicxHIvWU
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVxj59hl9OW
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4uSAoLZT2
Kiri: “Nh!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAz50u4jUUH6
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANARvBlk5VrTn
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlfpqTX7X9V
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAyXB3pNrq8b
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAixTZUM0GEs
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAP5uf9DYujI
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAcmnNGYLgVl
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlY7csraK2d
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYEnWoBXcyc
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAL0maDHoZQb
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?
22Please respect copyright.PENANAA608dOAU9X
Kiri: “Onii… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAT9NoZWNyi8
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwt0cwjwfkk
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPQdltIB5nn
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZzon8AgxnU
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAC1NrVJekhV
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANALM2dzDtXaN
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWQseCt9ExN
Kiri: “Who?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAeQdU0MC7TS
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANALOb4RrKuKT
Kiri: “Nh.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgPSeS73DVG
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAvONZHtvriY
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlTXygzIpFk
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5DdpWN7JWe
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAhr4VNaA6vI
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAE2eeXKdyn6
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAaFmqZLg2K6
Kiri: “Nh.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAX7kcARjIEH
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlyMAT52Pve
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVPWCezDule
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nzu1sQQNy
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJuJTvCoezk
Silence.
22Please respect copyright.PENANARcQJrgN8Pk
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAP6eBzqHby6
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANABOpBhZiU4I
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Yc58mgfb
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2y1TLUeZgD
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAURn9un1naD
Bakugo: "Shut it."
22Please respect copyright.PENANALJTKX6WiKA
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2RbdF9XeVM
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."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQgoMIiCEM7
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
22Please respect copyright.PENANA9oEEWsQ9gG
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlOYReHrsyo
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAo1ztCYA4nG
Izuku: "Probably."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYAo1MalJs9
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAfT0PvPn7UI
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAE9AB7SliC2
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPtGWi7osAd
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.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANARxrcyF9wet
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAtY6mJRYVcT
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAr4q4QseVkH
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAncCuRHrxuW
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
22Please respect copyright.PENANANhG46ySLUQ
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4vhcKk8WzK
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAcKjWI8BFqG
"May I ask a question?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4tyEobGVS1
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALbF4bLJEx8
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAjk2jNUhANq
"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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAyLAeYJewYK
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAInccuAAK0o
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYlHZPeAiFu
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAEeHBaZgzV2
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAg9jsCZuAN9
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!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzEVdgnCnSr
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAeKYagyU4wK
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3DFnevuTpJ
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwUg1f1U5xP
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!'
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4V3ywcQihi
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0W67DtaIyy
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
22Please respect copyright.PENANA17PspQi9xV
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8o3do6QutX
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… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6LxXKKzV7E
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAxCrm4WpBWF
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAoLcCpCMJcb
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAmjFRsF4mfR
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7zcLUSCpIy
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5ou1VifmgF
All around, he could hear murmurs.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAibkm8SpYbc
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4fTl1MafGs
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA11nyFOxfrd
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0NDaKtyl4R
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAilLos4758S
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAf8bw8ojyw3
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJZGdWq9eTD
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
22Please respect copyright.PENANADJhIJFmrZI
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwGjqyqepBG
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAY8cPm4JvGo
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbUx7X06sf3
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYIKmGIPrZE
But before anything else can happen-
22Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ1qd9woLR
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANACEQpCuaFkc
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAvZFg99FBEW
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAdHjhYv8Q2m
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAaOtRcSKaFi
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
22Please respect copyright.PENANAoto3cCEOTZ
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAebcOZOVsIN
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANABgQQ3ngZi4
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbKmiKouQgY
"Target acquired. Terminate."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqtpLdfoGVx
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYxi1mAdtcO
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANACvnfsNSvZj
Izuku: ‘One down.’
22Please respect copyright.PENANAKxGzLr2ZdV
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAX2jmicAfSa
But he never got the chance to do anything.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3ILBmlxQa6
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlPe6wAR8cm
Izuku: ‘Next.’
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2cN3zSAkK3
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANATOUIkWfODW
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAsiM1Tbslt4
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXExqoTyD7R
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlbqWtqs2mB
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnR8Nc6ifGk
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAf3w6oXwjuS
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4UVMTQEI5Q
Izuku: “No problem!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgafkOelBEM
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
22Please respect copyright.PENANAxyLjWhAAsF
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYk3O0lEuqg
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAoMNZrUh8Gg
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWIE2QdKC8B
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6PdUQcADOk
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2OwIvaV4H8
Another person spoke up.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAaXT1OOl9i0
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7oCg1ydWyQ
Another picked up from where he left off.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVAA9UcXPve
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
22Please respect copyright.PENANACYBmR71OLk
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4RrJC73mDc
A squeakier voice continued.
22Please respect copyright.PENANARASxtP5Pn7
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ3CbTpsdP
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2gdgI1oGn5
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAP2l9QYRYzS
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7z2e5ONiKE
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUbjOK9FvHl
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJUMZHbBMsv
This time, there were three images.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAjEUJC6JdUb
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA07Zag4FYn2
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgYl2MirRjD
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAz3YBkOBdxE
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAf6xLhhUqIz
The squeaky voice said.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWM3jGRfDwf
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7vsgnOsLw9
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8sPm0RjAl4
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPLWsaeoJhO
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqbZntS0CDz
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzzVUPts2OL
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAoTKlq6DJFe
One of the males replied to him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwahECA9kcM
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbOPOHJ0XMS
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJGdLs8Zjw8
22Please respect copyright.PENANAxQCIX1YZTM
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAtvyQWRVTTh
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkHT0oCzkRD
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAllonIQ6qhl
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAy7YMhIqXUd
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkL2r1SLuC6
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA07v34LkAOC
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAX4wNAp9LNP
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAL9IHcJEpSZ
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXIlxhJMPq8
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAIWXXZmycre
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALp2KSZwWLp
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3v0o7zhRNM
Uraraka: “No!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAvPyVdfTYB7
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAIpIeJpzpBR
Uraraka: “Get away!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAxe32GiIrj3
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWX3cA1JYY7
Uraraka: “No!!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAF5BK00xsMC
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYk3HCqXCRE
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAccKwiJ0BxW
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAG3t3d3wXoK
Uraraka: “Phew.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5JeimGOBqI
“Don’t relax just yet.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFD3ftzJUy3
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgy2WG6GwJj
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANADdyYPYEVhW
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgsuFcfQ3eE
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA36s8IxPkgh
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAAXwTiTYl6F
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
22Please respect copyright.PENANACq2dI4RDXp
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA52G9DANMAB
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFWHFAjmVMm
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANArDzYWZrQe0
Kiri: “But… points.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAEgI7IMJNzI
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAidTRsWXP54
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALi6mOAnQB5
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAiDeF7AK3wF
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAi3AbA7oWNA
Kiri: “Nh!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA65pUAtQC3w
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANApwaH75iEfl
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAyWJXUfVRjC
“Huh?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQ26y8w7qLW
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZNZtatab73
Izuku: “Fire!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqV3oKF0UOy
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9fB8kTpRx
Izuku: “Kiri!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAV4bVEdPZ1w
Kiri: “Nh!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAylhOjydQJf
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAN6r6fqyYC9

22Please respect copyright.PENANAaVwjtlu6uf
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

22Please respect copyright.PENANAZhE39R2znV
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA251hBaOdGw
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ZoFosJYS
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYNAgEvj7uW
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2umwIL5ZU7
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAi2sS4iF82L
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAjwEf430k88
“You were like real a hero.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAetD797w1wf
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAu15f6tFX9e
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnBv4smVwaF
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANANvjdcEznP2
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAiniJfrf03g
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGFV839BDtC
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAIOeLDgIic8
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQlDuXckOzf
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPA6Pcuzccy
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5yRr1YRWgs
He looked at the brunette.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqpX3tdXBGx
'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… ’
22Please respect copyright.PENANApPqPd0DogN
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Gk4kN02h
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5cxr5MkcCK
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAw0LAFyFRL1
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
22Please respect copyright.PENANA25H5wOXDJ1
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
22Please respect copyright.PENANAs6377RES1Q
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8n41BBpasq
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA9d6j9ZRUYr
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqtuBsiqD4z
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6x2P0WH5nb
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAEn1D4X83Zz
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANArP2jpzjmYX
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
22Please respect copyright.PENANApmPacCefDa
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAfOpe2tqyoX
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAxGcQH2QHLo
No, he can’t say that right now.
22Please respect copyright.PENANApn6ocdoizK
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAM10T88neoB
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWAx8GGPRi5
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAl4LXCVTrOa
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAiEoFWQkJnt
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANASo3DJWIkqN
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANADkHITrbfiI
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHiIMwLtx33
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANALA8uyeva4M
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAA9r3O9Sw8W
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVdiO4fxzjH
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVYPlTySXCt
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQVq5FOYquj
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlWiUhLvTZY
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANADPwntLI6qi
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAM3G38oMCTc
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
22Please respect copyright.PENANANgfb9qSNrG
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkFP2D5Uwwq
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAIzLdRTtC1e
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8WhjFVBqIC
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAaMddHoYgr4
Izuku: “How do you-”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAirggk5X67n
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANARlh0ot4L44
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZWOREXq7W
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqsIBmLaWg4
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8eY5BGv18W
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAt3gpCzZb4v
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAtWFQV912DC
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgO2QzNLiXg
He bowed to the camera and the family.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXbEvHb6Ozs
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANACRSYMdapMO
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQwQMpjn9cl
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."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAvZIqEI3hdX
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnwLgrAOUjj
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
22Please respect copyright.PENANABkLesM6PMe
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAb5YYe9G2ni
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAifG1UppHfV
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANA66VhI4ioTV
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7IlBMStlsq
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGaJA49ISxh
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?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAOnyAFxOUPZ
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.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAOog29ablNv
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAsDX4om7vQE
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7L0lMBv58Q
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZUN019Xyjj
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAjabeq0C7wR
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."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgYiEJ8ULF8
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA97eItVQa5J
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzSIS395vMn
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!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAC6gtLvnjWD
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!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzTEOPMXRqs
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGdWRdGRnEe
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkRY86gFYbD
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

22Please respect copyright.PENANAJcewMopsQM
