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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANANkhZiwbntB
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoMbP5JjFvd
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbs82CeX541
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPhLikWbU4d
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsn0jE8POJj
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.]
110Please respect copyright.PENANArB7Fo9rRqL
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp7M5jBr2o5
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbNS60NwiNx
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfcSuRRVgDR
Inko: “But she’s family.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ymYDJffZ
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfGgoOJNaTR
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzNnpOHcQZT
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjs1TI5rML3
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYQInyFGoi7
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANATdjRTGry3u
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAi7fdBdygRk
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3z4DuOGzLm
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdN4PlWPdvQ
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJNXI19vhP0
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAw11CbcQCOT
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtpCne9NHOF
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKsub9ByLum
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQd1HKDA3We
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANALqo1UZ8A1b
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmyUkoK3nLL
Fubuki: “Good.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp1Cpb17NkJ
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyZcRUdJlxu
Inko: “I have an idea.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUtPfBRJ0IU
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAXxNUaypaLd
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAU1NVSX4YuH
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAccuXlJxzfX
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGXmP0FsuK8
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ83BM9wFsr
Inko: “I’m glad.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMAyWzWf63n
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAX1RwmvJQLN
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbns0brWnuG
Kiri: “Nh.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMOqz5Rmirb
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKPXDqfSQuJ
Izuku: “Right!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAj6o5OVmBGR
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAt4Z16anzES
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUGkB1JudUA
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA49SQ67eQET
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHthalz6PXQ
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAA5QsP0OH0m
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgqFvRybbFz
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFvfHkmUXc6
Kiri: “Nh.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUp5eBFiHNR
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVlYTHLHOaY
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5D4jqKofU
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcPTccEqQkx
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1jA5zDtovt
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmj7Z35a5iU
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANANKYY6Npy0j
Kiri: “Nh!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAptWutxjBWK
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAph26CJEKrO
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANARaF2PMKMVy
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA11cRY9n9xb
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdiFSR51pg0
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAV4GVXi0hIg
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANALB00z9CSrt
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAK59ozIgxIX
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2JZoBKWc09
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp7bpnIWwbt
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?
110Please respect copyright.PENANAEQluTqJLL4
Kiri: “Onii… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANATCZbaFni1l
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAo1wsiVlGgG
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqhGZ1QI3RH
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANALSAlFXqZs7
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAn69ZDMM2B4
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAenWD2hT7mX
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2fxL5YH0DI
Kiri: “Who?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkSnyT6vm9Z
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANARpzmdsfusR
Kiri: “Nh.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnymfdxEJxf
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnMlm1VUsHe
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANADkAQSFihF6
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAT4hUv2GI4T
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHgKpo97Rt4
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAECjCEJ6DTD
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANADXElSxgsUh
Kiri: “Nh.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7AqYeYE67a
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKqPvuDFjfD
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAY01F15tDxg
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAho4hjfxPBb
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYjoXmauuYX
Silence.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAL37AZmQnWd
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeAmbL9EYf6
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANALw1FgNX06I
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAJp5THV4uI
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8t8fu9YCoU
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfPnhh7PhVD
Bakugo: "Shut it."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjPVOtYgp0Q
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAczF8OdeWOC
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."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAw2xyEu0Ij3
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPWrrgPS3HG
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
110Please respect copyright.PENANACUNedijUSk
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZPQMyxSXu
Izuku: "Probably."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAt3KpRClK4l
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHlYd05U3aa
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAaU3Ru68HIv
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnbVXC0iHt7
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.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKMeRvIYucA
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOPeuTzDVXd
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3am47lq6Yt
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjI5SrV27TD
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjNZGnsPqMf
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjS6SSVtxXJ
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKInzxyLYjI
"May I ask a question?"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7JgsbHgoSx
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdNfidpgDNp
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2sLwFJBrVi
"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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANANOXCkrTLzK
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmIfLGlfahQ
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeeEZoYAqHZ
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAy6DbHLOgws
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbjJblY46jr
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!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlOkfZVsqGf
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIOKiTLDHMu
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmxWsJwxKBM
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAXn7T6BFAUX
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!'
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3AbO3eFqYU
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlZzbhO9MuW
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
110Please respect copyright.PENANAW7W0sTDYKo
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAObbexZgChj
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… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANALB0PIHyz0Y
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtxk6f5PPlR
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmwPmN914L3
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwX97EPmF3t
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9sBHDAZTGx
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAe9uwcWGjJP
All around, he could hear murmurs.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ISYTIoGH
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQw1sn5oNmw
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6xXD0MiTXO
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcOxVL2YDaw
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6B1y5aZvBq
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbYKOarMPvu
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAalAxeFjGFo
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0ngLeVapiZ
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3V1lemdjDn
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWBHw6Rt5Gu
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyWMKzgxS0P
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuZtf7ub4Rg
But before anything else can happen-
110Please respect copyright.PENANApDqjzW2FoK
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4OIyN6Jnjk
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2pBszgqsDb
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdrl5p3AeDw
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIUB4rzGzGV
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAl2g008k7nK
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFOfiX2rMOu
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3a1pKULBFf
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmDekiS16p0
"Target acquired. Terminate."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgrOP4rnrHY
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcUG7FQ0rOu
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xefn3sHSR
Izuku: ‘One down.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANACaB8O1SunX
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfYaPeKvlDj
But he never got the chance to do anything.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMhUXKyLPRT
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAo3mnrHcvmI
Izuku: ‘Next.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwDtbB630XL
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAkCjijqUoo
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2j8ysJ76vc
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcWJ3d5yrJp
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANABw9YM4p1Ok
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZOuey3GvtA
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8GrEGM9J8n
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKZICshLEdY
Izuku: “No problem!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2qBYovaEpI
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
110Please respect copyright.PENANA88wqll0yfG
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA44h35Zj7D2
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
110Please respect copyright.PENANABglT6RgF3A
110Please respect copyright.PENANAn2SvdXvAg7
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANADVqMOZGFst
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKVVEG9KCp5
Another person spoke up.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJhsf3ig8Cp
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmOal41Md1b
Another picked up from where he left off.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAn8egCy5QDc
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdwzXGM1CXa
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
110Please respect copyright.PENANADtq3N4yeyS
A squeakier voice continued.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8hnOWSYCf
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAH3lQqRb6Ue
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAespl0Fcqiw
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjPtRbrI0lr
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZTf4GOPTCE
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAegyVr7zHcy
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
110Please respect copyright.PENANACfDbbtwFaY
This time, there were three images.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2rVOC13bdI
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlG7oejBWlb
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAI8V5ZU60oq
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqMdPnOzoww
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUG4uD36WI0
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgWPkEQ6IcI
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAS2NnwYpv1C
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFSyo6GSr9F
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAa4nnABWLqL
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3OhwTgb8U6
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7Jpm9Hdnl6
One of the males replied to him.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0KYbM6cViA
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAC1O0BSLN5y
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsR5nEMVuwH
110Please respect copyright.PENANAt9HZLfnI3K
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzWU85UxYdK
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJqXDKLaMOy
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUHIkYTkiEL
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdeejVzbpFz
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiGTbvBxPii
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4yHzp7oiQk
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAF93Y9Ibmdz
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbrxMWam1AM
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
110Please respect copyright.PENANArRPbqKqy8o
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUrLfEcm2At
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnB6UgHqi0K
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
110Please respect copyright.PENANANOj0eaSxR8
Uraraka: “No!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2Goe5qISCo
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANADM5WDZPyxx
Uraraka: “Get away!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANACgIpRmzunR
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANApallSGemJY
Uraraka: “No!!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQy1MNtFvA0
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnXLAOJUJBa
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ55WLfxpWG
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2EIQnQnXrs
Uraraka: “Phew.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANALi2o9lvkid
“Don’t relax just yet.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAP7X44x6ytH
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAy1Q7xqjVPK
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMBklW0xzNt
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgQoDfcLmgH
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsaLGrPWsfk
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKuE6gctQAO
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3hRwmZtEZL
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwXC7wu7OHp
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAC6jonLhh2U
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANALi1xW2uFYm
Kiri: “But… points.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbthkA0imot
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANASFsVcY3A9r
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAf0UPPMiXjI
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxtoC8jtY5P
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnZdZSbWfyC
Kiri: “Nh!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkTOPqm2kd8
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAQUoe0zVdm
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwRDpGXNmNY
“Huh?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtggmqHhcaO
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
110Please respect copyright.PENANANGbzBmlwqW
Izuku: “Fire!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA27czSi5WRG
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2WQgLx8yJj
Izuku: “Kiri!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzTqnNspe0B
Kiri: “Nh!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuTZQeNC4WN
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlX813rToa1

110Please respect copyright.PENANAg35kljZQlA
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANANr1tWmgtlH
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7qpZBMp2yh
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPeEnkmnbib
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlT9UYF54Vo
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZDj13sDJ31
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAsQL6nICRf
“You were like real a hero.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5mvH7qas5M
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgn9v87E8KE
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwPlsB3Xwye
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7LXjthhTGZ
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAu5P4MSQqWU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbcvkCslZkK
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPo07zWS5Sy
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7nWM0AxxHj
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9CHybpANKu
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxoi1xdaXxL
He looked at the brunette.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8baMaUuseQ
'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… ’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQyEPTcYo3h
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAunAqWBTyxy
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdm4KoC21yF
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGzFjfMfd2o
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVZMaHwt3vP
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbKOP1LdDBo
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4hATyjvQck
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7xGshW40AE
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
110Please respect copyright.PENANANuGgBsVAjl
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiNFvOtD6nQ
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeh0Eup0twt
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtktyCAsC3M
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
110Please respect copyright.PENANACjFLvbB5xR
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANArQlEMfLwsb
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2rNTO5PBf7
No, he can’t say that right now.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAhlVcNGuDxh
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcMl5Qnt9tE
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUg0z4XUr45
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAg5kUgXtW3Z
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjoIvjyiTgd
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlnDBqZRjZR
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAA5jqJOiigb
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcndcjk8Buv
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAP7P1ZjIg7u
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtKgseevWpn
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9KETaWbnme
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgqGq5tXvf7
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPLXwRNg008
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAR8vcv2Ztt4
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQkWS5OzILi
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANACWGZLn0gOl
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAClxurcMLdY
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAB1WP3hpYel
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAO7KUIhcf7z
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAc2iedF9s6G
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdxLWE1kOD1
Izuku: “How do you-”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWy4GRnQzH9
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoysz2ZPmGx
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAaaF1Nx35Ol
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7sFscwsy42
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1eoctXfwml
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeFrKybb7ZA
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQYNyj6VgUB
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAz1JjgbKcSK
He bowed to the camera and the family.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvaXECcsxto
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA62biQxanpv
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlWHBBzYIzt
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."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAt97b0eql59
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0uRbtmwFOA
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzcqW1ocdjr
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAK4BZPdKXoc
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA29NRxX10Wf
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWLRq2NtjFo
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3DY4myJYGY
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwlgYPzupwX
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?"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlL5XoyJHTW
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.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqxEdYjVTkC
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyfdBhUoPn8
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAPSqB0DQw4
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4l5kfWV0Rd
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUdq3c4SLRt
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."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmzjzK061vV
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA312ltDvTbn
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAD3obWoNmQk
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!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPcfYilG9yM
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!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4kSvEgsUg
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3nGHJ0fBoS
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
110Please respect copyright.PENANAt21BEzGGtW
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

All Might: "You both pass!"
