Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k8FYWZxh9
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckYnUtiNWh
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKtTXuSLAz
His body couldn’t have healed all of that damage so quickly. Add the fact he’s not in real space and the only option becomes clear.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCCHV3PJJH
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAykMCcnHA1
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiKfoFJrvG
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP9F54i4zg
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwOUEgqX0x
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49nbJtVkSJ
It’s his family and how they will react to his death. He was finally on track to join his sisters as heroes. And for that dream and hope to be cut short…
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESU3JUK7qn
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwVu0tEDRN
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpySRPx3WuK
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pLzMh5GhJ
It’s everywhere.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrdrC3VbZI
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR44oXSVHig
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQnl3aqCNF
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1B76zlsTq
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ARmjcai0o
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht30GBvIyG
The boy takes a deep breath, settles his mind and heart. He’s not dead. His dream aren’t broken. His family won’t fall into despair.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WkKh5obRi
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ZaXuXkIu
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcs8rYB3Qf
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyDZBOB26c
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBXgc9Y1Lt
“I’m not the only one and I feel I won’t be the last. Worry not child, we mean you no harm. We are here to help you.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKNoUaYiOJ
Izuku: “To do what?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0aliIjp1I
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8pVvUpz8a
Izuku’s mind is running 100 miles per second at this point. This whole situation is completely insane. If this was in the real world, his legs would have become a puddle.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfMVHDZP6D
But one thing keeps him grounded.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnzIiOFAt9
Izuku: “I-I-If…the world really needs me to be a hero in the future, then I will be that hero. I promise to be there.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5aUAWsE2C
He brings up his best All Might smile and looks into the eyes of the unknown. And for an instant, he could almost swore the entity was smiling back.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmU8rvIQxT
“I knew I chose well.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMAQetepvS
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwMogH97K9
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUYhUuJQqF
“You’re waking up.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROzeOG9cto
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ1AeAindf
“That, I have no doubt.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqjNvYQGSc
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lecl0B2Sy
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrXQAlVtuw
“…My name is-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVBnHtmDvF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI771UC9BI
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBFLjFIavx
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6J5A6K28S
A lap pillow.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXVHNNSISZ
The envy of all men world over and his sister Fubuki was gifting it him. But that’s not all, sitting next to her was Valkyrie of all people.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr4ZdOscKG
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZpLT24jdf
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYGSi0OEpG
Fubuki quickly hugged him, nearly suffocating him with her chest. If she wasn’t his sister, this would be cause for celebration. But right now, the boy just wanted to know what was going on.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHToeBXCAnh
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC9hjuM3L2
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6yav1ZaFo
Instead of answers, he felt someone else bring him into a hug. Unlike Fubuki’s though, this one was soft and gentle. He already knew who was hugging him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF1yVhskNo
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcRmIo99u3
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QYqbCWUgQ
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfzkwtrsdk
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f2qedn84V
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyhuCVHjP5
Izuku: “Ow.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5kazwV93P
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8lt7n0wr
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw5ZY6XA8F
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgodvOWxcuC
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1aolPu5Fr
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0WsnxgcDO
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ehGWscMb
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRSPY4ZLSi
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYmGUmrLh1
Izuku: “Yes!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYl19kjQhP
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6UpKzDjAs
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb11LhiKq1E
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYan57dVQEc
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N9q0vBmHT
The place looked like a warzone!
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm5kjAuQim
The whole gym was torn asunder and the only person around, aside from those already mentioned, was Recovery Girl. She was near enough to come and help if needed. But far enough to not intrude on the family matter.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPFtjPSGOZ
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HQr7OyHRu
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcPVla7PE9
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gw8GlaiFM
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaprfPA8TJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdBAHhzkFG
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKjqjU5k9f
But seeing Izuku’s charred body, he knew he wouldn’t fight back. This is partly his fault. He should have stopped this whole thing. Or at the very least, had Tatsumaki and Fubuki here as well.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL0vdCr0lk
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwst2pDNPe
So it didn’t surprise him when the ground quaked with the eldest sister’s anger and worry. It didn’t surprise him when the walls of the gym were destroyed, revealing the two sisters eyeing the burned body of their brother.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UwjGKYcYg
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfs7btKr2j
Faster than he and the others could react, they were thrown back. Tatsumaki held Izuku up with her telekinesis while the two fretted over him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLBSRkdOHl
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fQioHRxI
But Tatsumaki’s tears slowly dried up and were replaced with fury. She turned her piercing gaze towards those responsible. Fubuki took over holding Izuku with her powers, as to not aggravate his wounds with physical contact.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBByJVwuKt
Tatsumaki didn’t need to say anything. She gently lifted Recovery Girl and placed her near Izuku. Recovery Girl breathed a sigh relief and focused on helping Izuku heal.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49vT37zpI0
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsImRRoFuPP
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lOhpPCIlD
No.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqmIb0Es74
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02kq5huU1V
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNracGzEtV
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBYDTJXVcB
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k0e9J1WKR
For an agonizing moment, all was silent. Tatsumaki looked to Fubuki, Recovery Girl and her beloved brother. A brother who seems to be fading fast.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeVjWttvxv
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkzeUs8WvR
The eldest sister looked back at the two men. She saw nothing but red and desperately needed someone to pay. So she raised her hands and-
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFFJFetkKo
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau14Lyhbmn
If it could get anymore tense, it just did. Fubuki and Tatsumaki looked to the new arrival. Valkyrie ran towards Izuku, not realizing what she just did.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT70rcW2Q2
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWklNGk4y8
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMdH31fxhk
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSZann1IpX
Valkyrie was so focused on saving her brother and then consumed by worry at his state, that she failed to sense her onee-chans. Now they meet at the worst possible time.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7G5vPEBus
Valkyrie: “I-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTqFimcKXH
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JoYtWosHH
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOm4BtFRIF
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLleIeOGsF
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YX2XRCkTK
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQKTiXqjb4
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMX7IVe4FP
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO7aKeXDAh
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnWQIAXEOA
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u2wRmkao1
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsNZwPpZC3
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlktQa0vBDa
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsdLkk5f2q
Valkyrie oriented herself quick enough to punch apart the debris sent her way. But the remains of that debris would fly right back at her, creating a tornado of terror.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5rQeHKTXM
Valkyrie did all she could to punch and kick away the assault, but it was too much. Small sharp fragments found their way past her defenses.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y3rKkjWyH
Yes, she was getting hurt.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSLjaYmdrM
Tatsumaki psychic energy was far too overwhelming for her own powers to negate. Each flash of red and small cry of pain egged Tatsumaki on.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4pyPunttM
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1fUzTCcAW
This couldn’t go on.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKrtBDr5Az
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICl5Isgf07
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnaaCMJpqh
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKUMDJL50q
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxU3W3jVUi
Both All Might on the ground and Tatsumaki in the air widen their eyes. And that moment of shock was all she needed to unleash an imitation of the hero her brother so admired.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKVDVvA63p
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6K2SAnxkE
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrsWov6Jqh
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69bHnBH0Ii
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0gWtqhR7A
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTAW8CznV
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvax4k50Y4
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgBZyGUZb7
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC24wo1C0qk
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLT2KAuNDE
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUS8Yk2rdM
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6engJC3QI
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIKjS76vZq
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOaTYlCmNU
Valkyrie was so weak, a feeling she never felt before. And it was caused by her older sister. Tears welled up in her milky eyes.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ddo1ze3BQ
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUP7o7hdvV
And then to All Might and Nezu who both looked a bit lost at what to do. This is clearly a family drama they have little room to but in on.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl8WsuEpmC
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oLMJFcLrz
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUhEY7TWKV
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhsGuFNQFR
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUXqagwUYG
Valkyrie: “Family.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBkpcS6cOj
Wrong answer.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrmkslTcfV
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg1OKrvm5O
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpj2EzATeg
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtYxdo9OZH
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzfo8UDdwu
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcpMyEBBrY
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysO0gKcHR6
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR16v50dLN
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyoEnnvgLc
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mng43je6M
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51JXNtxzAB
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKRp16xQD8
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e6zLoEiwo
All eyes return to the fading boy.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHwc0MJiLF
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JPoCyvKW4
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3etZ26SJp
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwLrvBhwEP
Tatsumaki: “How?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M0RAf4sjj
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTOKiokAvl
The eldest sister thought for a moment and looked at her brother who was on death’s door. Any fury she felt melted at the sight. All she wants right now is for him to live.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCrMGtjrCd
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDfV9NtEhe
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA4TsLNNtH
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwgKfnqiBl
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v64cAYfXx
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGMPoxyfv5
Valkyrie used the rest of her strength to touch Izuku. In that instant, she glowed green and the healing flames returned in full force. Izuku was rapidly healing while Valkyrie shrunk in size.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SRCMdCYeJ
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXCIgAo1VY
Everyone crowded around in relief to see Izuku healing from his wounds. There are still some burns but those will heal with time as well.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySIn0ARUFs
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gSzNwWsP8
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18hved3jOm
She took a moment before nodding.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIMOBzFL4r
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7MUmm1nH6
They all look back to see the damage Tatsumaki caused. Then they looked at her. She couldn’t look at them and so turned away in embarrassment.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEBQKABMyX
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SZ7sRjZKU
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsfD08cNTO
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNONfCyngr
Fubuki: “Of course.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bo75vq80M
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHw1S14J1v
Recovery Girl: “Yes, but I’ll take a little trip to the office to get some extra supplies. To help bring Midoriya back to 100%”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK6WL2Qm1L
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95x1vf9Ilk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXPr46S2Bi
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gHoh1K7qr
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd2FIhnn1H
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG37KWST9jU
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7x6WPTlIs
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywNbL2SxJ3
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WNPxjrHg0
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvrfPSS4IA
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNOfoTYR5J
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ANuuKJaBh
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqMW8Y90oH
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQMYHzB1ta
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKCuitJpg2
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCk6oRIhJf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ktaOyFcTc
The two sisters looked at the scene with a slight blush and they weren’t the only ones. Izuku was also blushing, and cursing his hormones. He always found Valkyrie pretty.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL3zSynpWC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJWIqP1uZM
But he knew she wasn’t trying to kiss him, so he kept still and waited. Trusting that this is all apart of the process.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm4eH3vwoe
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQhWeXqL7p
Valkyrie closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against his own. For a moment all he felt was the warmth of her skin against his.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x5oqOOROV
Then it was like he'd been doused in buckets of icy water, images flashing before his eyes like a badly edited film reel. Colors that couldn't exist, memories with a first-person view showing a body that didn't belong to him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhWhBWwjPl
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIMxUsNLtH
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupgmoU7kDv
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMRvjlENUJ
A smiling team of heroes dressed in cat-themed regalia. A man crying in the hospital, alone and wrought with regret. Pale ghostly hands ripping through reinforced steel like wet cardboard.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXn3pI056R
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAARplIIyhh
More and more images hammered his mind. He couldn't clearly understand them all, but he got the basic gist of what they were supposed to be. Snippets and chunks of Valkyrie's life, unfolding backwards in visual format like a VCR tape on rewind.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbrF2KzRCC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1hPavnSuF
Finally, he saw a familiar view of the city. Izuku knew this scene, it was the exact same landscape he'd see if he looked out his window.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvoqG4LfU7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfFMCmgN1k
Except this point of view was a little higher. The roof of his apartment. A single glowing tentacle reached out, the tip splitting into five distinct ends, forming fingers, then a hand. Thunder boomed in the distance as rain pattered off the frightened limb.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfikOhegTt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6FDzjb6bx
He somehow remembered this night. It was the very same night he'd cried into his sister’s arms, lamenting the cruelty of life. This was when Valkyrie was born, ten years ago.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6XGQVOdzM
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMj2IjksMB
Then, there was the connection between Master and Projection. An electrifying jolt like a DC current, simple, steady and carrying a numbing shock as two minds bridged into one. A direct feed to something deeper, primal and terrifyingly familiar.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI5Ik70jTm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe6zZ5Itb5
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ0o1SvD7L
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEtU6y0dyB
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pwbk4B5aw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9okxfQzak
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQMZ2ejFKv
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK329GD9ST
Something answered.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdvtxP1jOw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9INNZOLJuS
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw7xQtpr0g
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50HpwgurqM
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgyzK6GWNU
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DjEpEu3u6
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCRke0xHK6
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvTE6VxTaJ
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPZs9EWSlB
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRUkAJzNJ
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhEoydHULx
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNVQNEuwev
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hTvMTsiud
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qdvuw5ays
She'd just shown him key memories of her life compressed into the span of seconds. Conveniently giving him the general rundown of her story and relation to him. But most importantly, she had shown her origin…and how he'd created her.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBSB6yEljh
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWJv4pKKoW
The irony of the situation wasn't lost on him. The crackpot theorists were right on the assumption that Valkyrie wasn't human. She was a construct…his construct.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLD0xFrQkI
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hRq1ObeSr
Izuku: "Y-you. You're me. A part of me. All those weird dreams I've been having. My emotions being kept in balance when I got too scared or stressed since I was young…it was all you, wasn't it?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy9iNIPZ8g
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LTGhL46Cb
She nodded, patiently waiting for him to continue. If he looked a little closer he would have seen her trembling with a barely restrained excitement.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZCjBJSz9I
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGdcVJNl6m
Izuku: "Ten years..."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDwRYqeiwJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxv4y6VlS9
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTZy3ZrqGX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnklzaqPHlr
He really was never quirkless. All this time, he was like everyone else. If she didn’t show him why she didn’t tell him earlier, he’d be mad.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtywUF6y7K
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qYOtEnvkP
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI1XlyqE79
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTlfPKTtsQ
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcQg3mhvFa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8IKsSRjrh
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJjYm5DUL7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt1yp92KrP
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zxbQQX3qf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWhLiRCv9E
Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXSq926iLW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Kf9bfSnm
Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Yw1m2ihj
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx1vYHFjcB
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFiKZEPe6H
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1YVbPvT2P
She nuzzled against his chest happily. He could somehow get a basic feel of her current mood, right now she was ecstatic, positively vibrating with joy in the arms of her creator. To her, this must have been like a religious experience. He sighed, rubbing her head gently with a somewhat parental instinct.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Yp7bt15n
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT934UjDzU
Izuku: "I guess… that makes you my little sister?”

Tatsumaki: “Okay, that’s it.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ0VOipy3B

Tatsumaki gently moved the two from each other with her powers.

Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXud2usa2Sd

Valkyrie pouted at being separated from her big brother.

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa4CDXwSPi
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2cbG5Q2wr
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZTnzqPchX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa9YEl4W4I
Unbeknownst to them Fubuki’s eyes flinched at the term little sister. A position she held and something Tatsumaki rarely calls her. Something else she can lose…
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYyzOAfljz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu9NTp7i01
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPCDxc3yc

Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oIyyDlm9

Izuku: “But we can’t abandon her!”

She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFcbRbXByD
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHLvVu9fIX
Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8oFeC8oXU

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3QGoCJ7yC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGhAyNnb4x
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY7ArGaqE9

‘This is just the first step. You’ll be replaced. You’ll be left behind.’

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Ux6x1pdv
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwgyuDwQSO
Izuku looks to see Nezu and All Might coming to greet the recently revived boy. Only Valkyrie was a bit surprised at All Might’s true form. Not wanting to interrupt, she kept silent for now.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAid8SBkSj
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sip6tglJW
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMD9xTRVUp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFioLGYkq2U
Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgz8dDO4ty

Nezu: “Nevermind.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPZOvxe0xJ

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgPC09Mosi

Nezu: "It's quite alright young man."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdffAI8bv8

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV7bOb9HUX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcix8OIOnw
Nezu: “Sadly, we're out of time today. But you'll still have Toshinori to train you today.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo88bu5WRY

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKadjharet
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HRvsPMcmf
All Might: “That’s an excellent idea. Her experience in the field could even rub off on her fellow students.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrIgvNX2Fm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpYceckdeX
All Might: ‘And she’ll become a licensed hero, instead of staying a Vigilante.’

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Un7kLHdvW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGftIPZPShG
Nezu: “Most welcome. To be honest, I'm rather beside myself with eagerness to see what you'll make of yourself, Midoriya. Your Quirk is amazing, and if my suspicions are right, you may only be scratching the surface! Telekinesis, telepathy, mental projection and Pyrokinesis are all subsets of psychic powers. You might have full access of that power set.”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDnDYPfPnt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ks9lhmimB
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zFxvlA856
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr6fRKwAkt
Nezu: “So perhaps you should pick up a couple of those really old comics and manga from the last millennium. You may find some amazing ideas in them that you're able to replicate."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxFNV1afJV
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG5c1M7ae6
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXB6T2fu2n
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzV4kJ3h7b
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1PnASQJrk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIGIDGnQ6c

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiHADHzhIq

He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9fChc0JVe
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa8xWk3XV7
Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqmzUNBga7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpJZLmbDlQ
All Might: "I do! He's the perfect candidate! When I first offered it to him, he didn't even hesitate to think of others first. He wondered if it would be fair to others if he took it now that he had his Quirk. That kind of selfless nature, his bravery, and his sense of justice are hard to come by. Even before he had his quirk he didn't even hesitate to try to save someone from a villain."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVKIKhXdeU
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl3qHM0N8n
Nezu: "I agree. And that is why, even though I feel he really has the potential to succeed you as the Symbol of Peace, it pains me to say that he can NOT become the next holder of One For All."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo0yInqnVI

Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehOhT3Air7

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyLN3Jgc5m
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbm8VQsp8v
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYAIoDdqvz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZb7nJRkQ7

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlBOrazXHj
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrpPDfx4sd
He blanched, finally remembering.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKSDFfuzAM

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYOJYBcKbm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMLFgCx4Ip
Nezu: "Precisely. One For All overpowered Float so badly she nearly broke her own neck. And she had been training her Quirk for years. Just what do you suppose it will do to HIS Quirk?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgp7lzR9Q3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6wLZzFlP9
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptVXfHecBK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8RcE6mIu2
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9osQeAAJ1s

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd1mYTyFl4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjqTgp7rZ2
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNEGsIrz6n
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6s9WNZCs
Nezu: “So let us perform a scenario analysis on what would happen if Izuku were to accept One For All. Scenario one: Izuku accepts the Quirk and they stay entirely separate. Now he has two Quirks he has hardly any practice with. With the potential he's shown us with only two months of training, they may even end up being equally powerful. He now has to divide all his time in training two Quirks that have nothing to do with one another. One For All is not a Quirk you just have. He will break himself without dedicating his body to training it. He would have to leave his original Quirk by the wayside, and I can see in his face that he clearly is not interested in that."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRri4DPZQ5Y
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEmgwOUId
Izuku: “No…I'm not. I…I finally have a Quirk. Something to make me unique. Something that is all me…that ties me to my family"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIJjT68rVR

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwpY3V8axg
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34VuiU278I
Nezu: "Exactly. Izuku would become a jack of all trades, master of none. He would be hurting his own potential by stretching himself too thin."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4RmDeqqo
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E2CHCauDb
Nezu: “And that is the better scenario. The worst-case scenario is that One For All merges with his original Quirk. All of the stockpiled power stored in your Quirk, now powering his."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMm9oVMIcF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM161bzsvIL

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hrnRnFgmP
Nezu: “Correct. Toshinori, you could never had met your master if she had killed herself flying into that wall. If Torino hadn't been there she may have done just that."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WJjKoHkYt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhQ73mhMfi
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqBFFkgzf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ66QtZahD
Nezu: "He would be breaking things with even the slightest touch of his Quirk. Crushing full trucks into soda cans. Picking people up to rescue them and putting them on the moon. How could he possibly learn control when even the lightest touch could be enough to send something he struggles with now straight into orbit? He could never use his Quirk again. He'd be back where he started. For all intents and purposes… Quirkless."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVc1sb5CtH

All Might: "This changes nothing, shonen. I promised to train you as my successor until the entrance exam and train you I shall. You're still my student and my successor, even if I can't give you One For All! We'll make you the greatest hero in the world yet, Midoriya-shonen!"

All Might smiled, once more seeing the potential of his successor. Even if things weren't going to go the way he wished, he could rest easy knowing someone like Izuku Midoriya was part of the next generation. He bumped his fist against his student's, sealing the promise.
