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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAfXWjkTC27O
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAa2wFwybsbm
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAUFSGUOKm1m
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAMiOJ2KrDYC
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAoBhsU1NRGs
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.]
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHgnwDLuJXF
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAAdEeFBdB3B
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAwWmQz2eqYp
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAF5D2jItNrO
Inko: “But she’s family.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANATuTTm1PTWy
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAsTHPpCKkrH
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzAt5BSOQKh
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAr1BfYnyjkU
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0byRipnJOz
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQZAz0STEC0
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAI9P1vnYhdc
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxRDn91ITXP
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAX81ZabOAoR
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
50Please respect copyright.PENANANpioZZlifP
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAaRNeSx0as7
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKbz4sdIaDf
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAeLlTNAbphn
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANArk3Y4x83IS
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAUn54Lbff1o
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkcJFuB31QX
Fubuki: “Good.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAE0QdrvtZ1i
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANANQbitEeSAW
Inko: “I have an idea.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5GraDki6v7
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
50Please respect copyright.PENANASRjBJOmB7K
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZF7QSpACJY
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPSomPct7NX
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAAGSWcjAxnH
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2EbQsPG4QU
Inko: “I’m glad.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAeEnNZiWPqs
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnyENMR5jQS
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWtEmlXuLes
Kiri: “Nh.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1XSPTgcBgn
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPiKSOe4dSD
Izuku: “Right!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAX54ayIoBHS
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAoBIsrLpz8M
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhs1Q7Nm6by
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAn8bRfBMhWE
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAqO86WHH3Fh
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPynlL7wzdW
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAvLa7I12WIx
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAR31NVnJx9H
Kiri: “Nh.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnAGloCmQ79
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1dHuUlGqRo
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnkbDKTciXQ
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAytp5rdC6Wo
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkTY8NJ9oS8
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
50Please respect copyright.PENANATeUDHtDUEl
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAvY0C9DIDcc
Kiri: “Nh!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAV446LHlngs
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAErroUshYtV
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAfNMvbGS6eI
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHyhyK19j0n
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPjN5oIQGkX
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOw1WVpWZyD
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANARYj06OY2Hu
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8LII6Wbjk4
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWkiM2GKl8D
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKpFP3jZiKS
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?
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkpokcKKNMv
Kiri: “Onii… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANALTOaDpHKik
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3llxbQPBU5
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnFjArCp6S0
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
50Please respect copyright.PENANAjKhiB34iZR
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAw67GLB4RZN
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANACoVJ6YtNDP
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARYR0z2t6Ho
Kiri: “Who?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANABH7lOma2Rt
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANADTB7r1f1LR
Kiri: “Nh.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOwgIJK9o1a
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVBnsJLD5Yh
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKG1X84VBSF
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA893FRYr4vQ
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAz461nhRKgr
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVBuknSdYRL
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANALrXi6dMJZA
Kiri: “Nh.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKpo7uRYZd8
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8AyYanuutP
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAh6VzYCoY1m
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAaxdEA234VP
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbgos3YXURh
Silence.
50Please respect copyright.PENANArl5W5ZSnjJ
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAmCwPSxHeVv
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJDUhttCgkJ
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7EV7MtuRgC
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnVhrXaHFLP
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8CYZGYmzfI
Bakugo: "Shut it."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAclEGCDbPnQ
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhwjDmmITK0
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."
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zvm6m13rI
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5iuVl7eSuO
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAizIoEGyiRD
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAXe5nC1iTJf
Izuku: "Probably."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcTDlfdRGSs
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAeR1cANHFsr
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANANq2svFcUu3
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6C3ilBePro
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.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANABzigmyKrFE
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ3iANEpDJ
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQki918U5gf
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1BOaqYDqsh
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJKymG0CJ2o
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAY6rgWmFeez
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgXU7qjZjjN
"May I ask a question?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0zyQnvf7K4
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnPkX7cN5nG
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAe5lI46cKpE
"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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3LMJ4BGk6n
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA46g2RVLBcs
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
50Please respect copyright.PENANArtOQrNDxKU
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAYHnEKeuAbu
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9I2krlUKJj
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!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAS3QLa0NFgQ
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcVD9uZjCOn
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAoilOc7SYzF
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAS6LMQKSxL0
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!'
50Please respect copyright.PENANAboPKJ9TWNC
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKMJMhAw8Yp
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
50Please respect copyright.PENANAiJtOBbD0z8
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7NpSfITbz7
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… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkznRjb4DpB
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
50Please respect copyright.PENANArCP6pZ4RCT
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZq47Y1Zlsd
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFYFYXIMJO0
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAmlE0tJcZ63
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANATUiQMpKX45
All around, he could hear murmurs.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2DkZV5YMFs
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAsF39VJP6V6
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2tsKqqpKTb
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAimvtakVzPA
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtfstxNfP1v
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAH3waXeHWlI
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
50Please respect copyright.PENANAN2o4ewSrfd
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkXHTE5nW8Q
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAmfjnGMOzIc
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQDN06gGWWD
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4qJHECCf8
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAwBQTXYyqB6
But before anything else can happen-
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzcQR3Byq0q
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtgdqk4qbpt
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAvbV2JhnsoI
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnKlbzgsvtm
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ4llWHX9u
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOZuCGYXALt
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAyDqOzNNQ3r
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAm7CEnldAvy
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAU9KKBKG1pH
"Target acquired. Terminate."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAz7pkZWPq6I
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAW8lRH8iYoa
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZOe43X54lN
Izuku: ‘One down.’
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbPelGUNCvK
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAU46Jk39JTF
But he never got the chance to do anything.
50Please respect copyright.PENANABMLzAADLpX
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAmDnV9rtimt
Izuku: ‘Next.’
50Please respect copyright.PENANANyoyZNv1qB
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgaIsvlPhzX
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAXibPS9K7J2
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAyy64pPCvsm
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuhGfs3PLpo
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANADFHyhYbGQO
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9HJP3KEvNn
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2QaCWPYYIY
Izuku: “No problem!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAk8LvlLQDlX
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxamNcbQC3e
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAunSHJigzIv
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIggiXLHr65
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFezIMOQNeo
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9P2CSqFrm0
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
50Please respect copyright.PENANAs76V19FKba
Another person spoke up.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIHj7npLa1Y
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAXhUQxURa7T
Another picked up from where he left off.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQr7BgN0mLl
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAyUmjGytrhA
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGvhGFZdAwo
A squeakier voice continued.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2UFyks3Oaf
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5CNJ4Vmgh5
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkMsCypapyU
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAYlBzmiaMbR
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
50Please respect copyright.PENANABf3PYL4klw
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJGyx1MHxNd
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
50Please respect copyright.PENANApzFlb9XZfi
This time, there were three images.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAElipgJnvpv
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFEzASX9gFZ
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7doFvz200N
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAwWNuSmUA1O
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9Izbt3bO6k
The squeaky voice said.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnWgcvxcFUY
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAqUxSk4CMBR
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARPWg5J9cnO
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnsoYT0w2oP
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZzlPsFkWRg
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAyntebjBSc3
One of the males replied to him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAx4h8t3grEz
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcC1XqOAQOI
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAA9vjdX6PR2
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7SLfFzxA3O
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAEklTX6f6Df
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbl0aAM4J7T
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAu500nFrhLE
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAw7u9p7bDHn
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
50Please respect copyright.PENANAV4iFxcGTVv
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5yD8AONO5v
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcNQydbDAyJ
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6fL9CxizE9
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5vzcQQWriQ
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAb9EU0HvpW1
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbCYjj6WMNE
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIHdMAu9Gjy
Uraraka: “No!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA675iWsMPJ9
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOzQTSsfE8m
Uraraka: “Get away!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAsL3BrA7SXk
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAnsjkSlHzko
Uraraka: “No!!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFT6jljlgJh
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
50Please respect copyright.PENANANFX6PFpMI5
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAeQkEebLrmL
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2eZAlvCYNF
Uraraka: “Phew.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANABYRCdj33ak
“Don’t relax just yet.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAqqaXJGMPM9
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgWQFg7fHi1
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhqTUi4jMxo
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAF7iOGzAXdA
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAB8cSWzfvww
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA4qbrdM3EHI
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAsG3idb6ras
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0iyk5pc72B
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA4CqwS0bvOH
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANANjo6cvNOWA
Kiri: “But… points.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9zd0UVplKu
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOKdP2hndYK
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgXfn49XnCw
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFbEJ5HUN8X
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARtdnsByqWt
Kiri: “Nh!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAP7CL3EcWjd
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANATv8X75yjwX
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
50Please respect copyright.PENANACPMxC3OBi6
“Huh?”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAcCDm9CISJU
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhyj3FTeGcX
Izuku: “Fire!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzRVUTqsgVY
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8LLYCnCXG8
Izuku: “Kiri!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbdSwbzsDkR
Kiri: “Nh!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZLy8DfkDWD
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPS1ISGzOqr

50Please respect copyright.PENANAFp44toFs0R
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

50Please respect copyright.PENANA32kMcz6voA
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAMxeVZ0xb7g
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAvYlaqISYZk
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAd2ZSjO4Jii
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0r26NHjjRs
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAL7z7UjxYGw
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANArhwgjvSRyi
“You were like real a hero.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAD5NR49DIJV
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
50Please respect copyright.PENANASnjA0Qhdnf
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
50Please respect copyright.PENANAMlSqaD5jML
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAto37C1vhDO
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPxBssHpbuG
50Please respect copyright.PENANAsM0TOsQQAL
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAbWKFCyMbLg
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANALpwcrxWQvi
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6oRXPWfMZW
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
50Please respect copyright.PENANAEK7QhRuagu
He looked at the brunette.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJO7BJLKPAg
'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… ’
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3C4cqjYmhb
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkwebAmtLJE
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOUby2axIei
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAEKjFFyjEhC
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
50Please respect copyright.PENANABmoLD8UUDl
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuLZqY1BdQW
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2AXV9lcCjT
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAlhWsZi8oW0
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
50Please respect copyright.PENANAX6pFS99RdI
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuXAHLXOPAE
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAic1CGz7GWO
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOqBiYmqs7W
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgKoY9QCDp8
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAT5VzlDLBwG
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAwYg3pWLr5o
No, he can’t say that right now.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAAmFySOm1hv
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAjwrVznPgkG
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3LQ7tBc18P
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAEjLAcHyufG
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxzRxOpLzjy
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAstc4nBAyK3
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANALh4BcKuAi9
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOvWFITAkn7
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1BGQk116bR
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAjWTmaeKsZ7
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQwLqCRerq8
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAznZmrx6oGJ
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPeauDDeRbe
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAakU5LqVrUx
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAMokCT6tyL2
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANABzx86VeHQa
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAlp1z2zcSSo
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJMAK1qDw1d
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5fL6OAxhW
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAw62T3qFrwK
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAssHYLFiBh6
Izuku: “How do you-”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAIGtwzs2u5V
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAPjsPHg5Zig
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAeAZaR47oNl
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuJaB0mPCtU
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAARx1IlAHTC
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rw5B0gTyZ
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6h6aVjiOIO
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAwMFOXasPMS
He bowed to the camera and the family.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Gd4PBZuh
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWe4R9fGNlr
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9a9IvKAcD7
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."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAo7nTjnXzMx
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhtTaS4EGJg
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
50Please respect copyright.PENANAsNG5bpS7eH
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAABfXUtXWLj
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAr3UnZ6WMB8
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANArejOGuzjKf
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA9nbdSCL6lb
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAe8GHC3GUVb
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?"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJKCdtIFTz7
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.”
50Please respect copyright.PENANATrz6bWIGTl
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAlxCUsPjqEQ
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAig1qwV7CAR
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAI7znM95cUI
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAeD9uhZYR7v
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."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAiNeYdK28sO
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA55fjZlOljm
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7sQ2MtPn9O
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!”
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1b9cwj082Z
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGrvmHDz1p5
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA018DCjfcAY
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANAftUJQlKJbJ
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
