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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ7oXxGEyn
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAs2BjyuBgsT
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAANYrPZyoy8
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvJqxp4sdK4
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApWDgiYaQFB
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.]
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKbka9a6K4N
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaGWphWLXOm
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABogvhwGln7
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAspTmc2HZC0
Inko: “But she’s family.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y2fSEr94H
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcE2GDSMB90
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3nbp58XfRR
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEnNCu3eJfg
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKhpLp46igN
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA66TP8DU7ZU
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhXqRT2f1Xk
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjxNbeIw6CU
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATIVmqBtMYT
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAF5ejiaDcLR
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdYtMuNDqMc
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAozwUWpltqL
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnTLqQ3C2rC
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAz4JBEHATKb
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0G40yavuWn
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANNXEYaxZUe
Fubuki: “Good.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hq5C10en4
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0PmzOt9E1U
Inko: “I have an idea.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADFcilzek4a
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAq56OPWQYG5
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYUde9GMFyH
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKlj0RwE23p
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9qLp2EtHD3
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAoDDRsDmQH5
Inko: “I’m glad.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAARko6GpsJE
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJpsoFWOUio
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEEGmEELZkd
Kiri: “Nh.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3MQO6NF1xE
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAC0LJEMVJ4G
Izuku: “Right!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAczKJtWClCw
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKYMapYHKWU
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAI2bCowvYHI
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7B2ejtmxfM
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAufjYf93VXF
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeGmonMlYl3
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVk2oB5tZ9P
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATdA6d0GxPI
Kiri: “Nh.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPcjofCjl5k
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGcq0821qXW
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7LRpjwZ4P1
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6GmJfoOQsj
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmM7Hb5Ua5A
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApXg41XdXlF
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ulhi4EDdn
Kiri: “Nh!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuqfBB99Zki
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANApFT0j0TeTL
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAibByVJFvUX
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAepunBEP8uj
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlGhsMR3Qsy
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANARfjeZStUB0
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANfibRbqWZj
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1pO7Si9SIL
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcc1vJ2je5w
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXWcSIiTHiK
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?
68Please respect copyright.PENANArjvBbppIev
Kiri: “Onii… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiJd72wENMn
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOeuU4LweMF
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjPMPok6Y2v
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAD5HiUgxca6
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3pWPyxZpzR
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1odWdccIdN
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAMIO9sTbl4
Kiri: “Who?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkxL01qPryC
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKAMh3m1wpV
Kiri: “Nh.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALaTC6hvryL
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhu4S7HbnLq
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzTy5WZhvAe
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
68Please respect copyright.PENANALGzF89zQLl
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqckXuH9kes
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAChBQV6qFNB
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAyfu1ktO53X
Kiri: “Nh.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApqpIWK8pBq
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAjE9OEfGvI
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPxFjpeabiq
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWxWeWD8JxL
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtuJ7OPTIXl
Silence.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHYDO7OLyWG
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMv1pFmOxQW
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAncg3LAX8Ub
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
68Please respect copyright.PENANANktjDxsN7a
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANArPihSvlpBk
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzHYgj4BqLF
Bakugo: "Shut it."
68Please respect copyright.PENANA275Z6ZFXb0
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAT08aNIxmAu
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."
68Please respect copyright.PENANANWOemzrOOG
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXuEoMkXqhh
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAKS2xp8sZX
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2mAGyyzPp5
Izuku: "Probably."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuGIktkmmht
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAikijfJpjiN
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAy4EgQTROOd
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATTkvJN1Kjr
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3VjkywI8mj
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPQYDT2DOHD
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeXrFFgYdh3
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfChr9dIuBi
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdtxV7BB7A2
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0tTuCF3Vwt
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhnWDkRy5kX
"May I ask a question?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAF1PnxAnTzb
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1wLGHcYD9o
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQDQxUSPNF8
"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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjxr63tKQSO
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Or64JOpk
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAo69KV1sltE
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAY6nKGjTE3K
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAp9Itq3kW7p
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!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQjtJoiP1dh
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4jHRyEI38F
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVkzUmG7V98
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwHHFsM48b2
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!'
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnKFsiWPsUH
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYShKjuSoM8
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEk0EnZf9Hy
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmbBbrdF0PU
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… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHf01JQqKMQ
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKOsQlDeYDV
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfqLwUEpzfZ
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIoDKOr8NGh
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWMXlkeMCxW
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAL3veMIZjUT
All around, he could hear murmurs.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbrNUTSqloc
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAR2YY83NwTL
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlTvLrFX4sR
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAp4eWXBd4S8
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZOxW5HQ3b6
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKBBDCip37P
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2KCzYFWGNM
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEQyde1uQCm
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAI1rP4FLdb6
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Ofar6IYW
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjFF1alZCga
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAd2qrpbLdO7
But before anything else can happen-
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3EFGoWwAe8
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAU2WD0U4Imr
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApD9w5XiECz
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfxyTdWQexL
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4h3zEDB3R
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
68Please respect copyright.PENANARVzwIurY2a
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApeOAu5GMHc
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAh64nF8Vis3
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9SdCsP24d2
"Target acquired. Terminate."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQPHkpdIiJs
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqLz6LAzzyb
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsyLtUmlFXk
Izuku: ‘One down.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANACFRgf36kKp
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9VjOIyrbE3
But he never got the chance to do anything.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6cNlMgbBxT
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABKj3VuWRD4
Izuku: ‘Next.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAopM9AZlxeC
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAi0yg7knXCH
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlfrcDVyD7R
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVrs5OooTGe
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAT2tIMko7fD
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWq1pSgSYS6
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiOaY48O7lJ
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3hEBPAzm7c
Izuku: “No problem!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAN1WeYIMIYF
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3VzY8OOyO8
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANApLje04Xj9r
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFDsnACRpmq
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1VmntAIdnl
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOWKEYe7ugu
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
68Please respect copyright.PENANANGOKzOGlIQ
Another person spoke up.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA65zFHsSGrm
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGmgsOa4bj7
Another picked up from where he left off.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgjRAwUi3ch
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAW1PFY69W6v
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWFghM7oORS
A squeakier voice continued.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAp0T1V6VBuM
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANApUQv5Is5GE
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOMFC9PaT2k
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXlftUdfPGN
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuSjOFZjt5b
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATV53izeOu6
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
68Please respect copyright.PENANArmvAQt0c4y
This time, there were three images.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOGSsQ6oeeg
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaatYCosTgu
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtIjuvil4QH
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfaJVWbktHd
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
68Please respect copyright.PENANADLUNlyiAL0
The squeaky voice said.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUOsYaB048V
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZgYStMCP2
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMggIfT2ZB4
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqRVB4ieiws
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANASLBGanq73s
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAw38ZTd5Bt5
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5uuapVlXm1
One of the males replied to him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmAG9SDbhvy
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFfGFBtRRD1
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlpxRcalcEF
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXXz8mPpCDT
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnIbbl9PujL
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMN06dnNu89
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2PnBx6ZMeW
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqkSZnnza4o
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcHq7zMa7Tx
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0jsyf6NceR
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiHC7diZ1tH
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3cZYdZkFLo
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
68Please respect copyright.PENANADIh6ZwYaaj
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8BrDV9dmlc
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOyL9e7bLzC
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAH6sb9aKtFJ
Uraraka: “No!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEyNuYLo7D2
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKCehKiRlw4
Uraraka: “Get away!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAT2XOLpXxJR
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMIcPiMAsy9
Uraraka: “No!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAum6McWxR0H
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0L3ut2kUQK
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKxIlPXN1hb
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcdusoCMFhZ
Uraraka: “Phew.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAu5pONK95Pd
“Don’t relax just yet.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3rIZ4njf6i
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAP684tX6gyP
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqk2iiHObU0
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApd5FHuA5M2
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9CxVsKgmLE
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFGnIBJvrte
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAybsxur9eVa
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOvsu01knhI
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKxptnbfQM2
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAydwcDn8six
Kiri: “But… points.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbzZMoDpchz
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhD8rhnpC04
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zpky4HZpT
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcGx4Jx6dr9
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiMpSLq1oel
Kiri: “Nh!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA86tNUJcjSu
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASctGvEipIb
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGvwB85NlLa
“Huh?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMBmB3e1cKl
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAS67bUxLVjz
Izuku: “Fire!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtjjCXfPLb2
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAp58n4EDPyO
Izuku: “Kiri!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8u6V21MXb5
Kiri: “Nh!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKe8x6kaMOP
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABUduJvkPXE

Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

68Please respect copyright.PENANA9oC5Nb7fkO
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzoVQkPFAIH
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAc0TCYsiPKp
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4kZosArYQw
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvIedXwxDKI
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiX0Wqnmiut
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6LzPX5zT7G
“You were like real a hero.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvNrldCAqJU
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIphD5bhxPf
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
68Please respect copyright.PENANApInls6PBYN
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAv8B3Ht68PZ
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQqAreNHej3
68Please respect copyright.PENANASoqtdqmtKi
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnYA4RBda79
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ4nnmBQCg
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAV5blACUOIu
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
68Please respect copyright.PENANA13UQ5PRafX
He looked at the brunette.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAf33tmrJi8h
'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… ’
68Please respect copyright.PENANArUKIJvw2HR
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
68Please respect copyright.PENANASn80vuXzEc
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHHjTuy9ak4
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApBKDYLvpWi
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAZPb68fuXQ
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfJqrlfiQGG
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZoiFKV59PQ
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApOGRSo2ZJe
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
68Please respect copyright.PENANASXb01DXTI1
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYv2YVK9mgb
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVIoIZJ3u1l
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAChtpAf0SM0
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
68Please respect copyright.PENANArQx6rcONbU
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAPso9HjLkK
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKYpv4gUFfN
No, he can’t say that right now.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMBArZ9QSIB
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAf0RFcU4XuV
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkppj8Q86Ke
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAk6GabhbVtg
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2GeVSvMfh7
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApHHLbYfVAT
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiohahPYBFp
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUrBipIfPev
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAj3KReiRd1R
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATcXHeZ22gO
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAl5Z4eIVoIS
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApf1fEeYz3F
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcvVJAkkoWs
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUOTs7myaxe
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjE0Ap6G0oY
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMgDWLJ39Bf
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
68Please respect copyright.PENANACNyUdP6mry
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaPxNUsJPjJ
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA60A3HkMaFY
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9EWb2o8KXH
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcSLoNE83Rs
Izuku: “How do you-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcDyIDrJ6SQ
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8zsdXSKucQ
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgjsM41KmW5
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOqaRncFJqi
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANActeTOSJftV
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKBbFB9liGl
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOr84QTsWL7
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7LBZIk1p71
He bowed to the camera and the family.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQINZOoZbmx
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9W4nX3PJ38
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5FGgIZQxGp
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."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaGzbuAgG99
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnwx3D67STD
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAm4WCayLRbg
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANANnnXI0u44t
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIDeFqam3xT
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4nwOjM656C
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHyc96ycyPg
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYD1ne3JauA
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?"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOyxfh52TDU
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApcLDnzTmot
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAANgaMkbMLx
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQYpRiSjPAJ
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcLV9aO1pKo
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzyduH8lmL0
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."
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjiqwY5m1r1
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA39SyX0Olip
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcIHEnnDYI8
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!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALUgSL6sUfL
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!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4ONuL12ZMN
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAz09gzOMAjo
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzOegTOUDDX
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
