Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzaxPvq9T1
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qftjtBKE1
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdm0FyskKN
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1GOuoxygC
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rnZEOPMow
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLjSBk5TZZ
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEcSp8JhxM
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK8fuP9zRJ
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaUV3AnOQC
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…
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaY1DdVT66
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYBEslxMB6
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6XvRrt8sm
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMCQkgOgx
It’s everywhere.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiUCRt5STm
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxts8FJcEV
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIMGHaugec
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq0WYI45Ua
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopU4IUFptP
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqYuRvnLKh
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dISnq5hzz
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnBjQZsJDl
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFeSzgDFf9
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUaNLW9T38
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIUELyKRPw
“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.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ340D5yoL22
Izuku: “To do what?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxpB06cD4w
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe0UCcLR49
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyaLsciyN4
But one thing keeps him grounded.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHtj2cCQnm
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.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHmkapVNPT
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ273WLkWrsQ
“I knew I chose well.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq40iLPfmq
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzCmQ9RLM6
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOmYAsRFaQ
“You’re waking up.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5hgx386vm
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeI0eKWply
“That, I have no doubt.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjXWGB134g
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ihJQatjM
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFPOozwI3E
“…My name is-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpw8wPsUgy
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnovzYPybAB
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6csZwNriZ
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA1kyOlxe9
A lap pillow.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMbOwL7LJN
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eTOmwlW1b
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2wroyIWyt
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksmcQsqJTf
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEh3tMfhdZ
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpS6LsxUZ
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR2G3963Wz
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhndY18WSKB
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IIs9xy2IS
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXO4ZVKtTg
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqSC0CKVoJ
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj0IudoocO
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4nhD5zEN2
Izuku: “Ow.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfMx17FQJ4
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh6OHTAk3h
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEYk27y2aE
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsEs2ZHjqe
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O4F9Rrbze
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwHF28Eear
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRAOgIbFEx
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iFuBm9JhI
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNs40mRDfb
Izuku: “Yes!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeztNinnKzk
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD5gWKnUFQ
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs5kEr5KAl
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m6zMtPrCH
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCMDt7RCz4
The place looked like a warzone!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OYHyejaFX
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQXZWvBxWL
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDltBUiBdsO
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuwQSB2RE1
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dbvgajmMM
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTIgBGEaFQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hASXmdarP
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiddTz4Oae
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuZC6v3iSu
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBLfiCwag0
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSkppdj8ky
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEKiJdQkNG
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl1tWRn6A6
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Q18V1QOi
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsjhNQLLu3
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTeWks52Fd
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAK3Y3H7hs
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO09OMBnTk
No.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PSUa7Xxjb
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm56MSKgRB
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6RAsoqVjr
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D5CEteyWm
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXeUvrsUyB
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uyoUtS3L3
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1HfpfPT6
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-
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiAB4SPHfu
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtJxireTIg
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovFZ4dTfCj
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvjm1v2dG5
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQBgffCpg
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJhJoff6Af
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslU3ZloIno
Valkyrie: “I-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCA14ZPK54
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUQlSLIW7
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttSMHkETu2
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTqN2b6T5L
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiQOMze16n
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGgt2n4OAC
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPnUyMR8lZ
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxZgcpA1HI
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIolA4bPWnO
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5PVoNOhdc
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDRmK4eKaq
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZzLV3AApa
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e0WpMoD98
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR0Bw11PLL
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar7a7zLa75
Yes, she was getting hurt.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xpt2e0uQ2
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HHNZKkKEd
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYHEJHjFUt
This couldn’t go on.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FDOgSpSdG
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZUitXF0pT
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlbMMgPEKb
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1g5EA11Ke
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByjd9Jbyks
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdC4qturTa
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWujmOua7z
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZwH8kQdEo
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXW8XaeaMC
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpLIGB24xg
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29pYlvHVgI
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3UV51qWQh
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg2htwJbeU
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMsK3B9F6V
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EnRzSKTnt
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxHSjUquIG
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjRf82dZ8r
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6MQlXHRJg
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZR8R2M7Kq
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD5RiQahrQ
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg89W3f4ViJ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsU4PfZTnv
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs97tzzwa16
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnSU8GCFNJ
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdMwgzJgRC
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtSOBx7l0I
Valkyrie: “Family.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXoPrfjNX
Wrong answer.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fDlAJBSzb
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNXjEZFHFt
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1g1ud2CYb
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoIs1TjqUz
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeHfLKCqBM
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcBnmDKgd
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFplPux7dRR
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigMIwAvV26
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjmxTJXLBL
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9WhqlWsIS
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImpaKcDbB8
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEm78Zze0L
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ABjObcq08
All eyes return to the fading boy.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz3ZpoN8HY
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqGxYP4Pz5
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYzzu7jIvp
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuNpvRp7J7
Tatsumaki: “How?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPdb9WeJu
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI60bWXhkfR
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wVQaHnWW2
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyLtNwMJ8B
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QHv2Ewqar
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvjBwlq4WA
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8b7KlNFrM
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PSXeKd2hx
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgStueW50P
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGp9UvGbBj
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoaYuWQ4DZ
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vX9FODmyO
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN9IYIAbv0
She took a moment before nodding.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33W6X2WtDM
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJ2Nxtr8z
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwd5urwuPa
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfCassNzmf
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM2QMymNSw
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEadjSHZeE
Fubuki: “Of course.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzzk0BYVxJ
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKvf5qbaHI
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%”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gdDo3dMvb
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlEkmsQtoL
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT6d3KcNu8
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgKhHG02wu
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBahFfdyKep
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrxh2uQKk9
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL96vB5lJp
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VCT7hrYyi
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbG3m9vlmz
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwweoYYX4Et
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5nxXKHEvf
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUraSX2pIMn
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLMqxIaGxl
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosTrWS3Dsq
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSBgGqD232
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaZRR3Wr0a
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YG9OavoJM
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZtVj0WE6
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnyyTW4coL
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRl54AvUpF
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlBbIWLAcv
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.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdbeQKxHEX
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrAFkFBloE
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJyqcP1KCW
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4P4MLXwCd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9kxCwW759
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBU3VIfsMR
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCbWGO7LsJ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0LJTc3UW
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbOGwgdy3D
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpIKsRpoDG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86pLIGYVBi
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZCJNdDEB8
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6RYOKrMnE
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4LoK9VndG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlHVl54OPN
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XkaHJoq1a
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBbnUJKBJ
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEi8MCUDVl
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5VMcvBDyF
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKOiVD5KBt
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K3Rakfl0L
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhtDSRcuZZ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXhhfuX1Nu
Something answered.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q7zx7P6Ml
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnFmWFr9sq
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bPTnl4W1t
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFpMibcjNy
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPjSBqmwTp
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoKkmYDqQb
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RJ7aQiNdU
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3iph0Dc8D
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5evxWhRZju
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmVEP3KhSn
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYziohf19cH
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZLcxpvzDU
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORRyGPnvL5
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFin9VbkXX
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBkQ43n1AP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn69Q8TmrM
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEw6VtO3Yh
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyFwo3Xz6S
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?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5XLqfOJ7E
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrKPfwr0P7
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFLzAThA2Y
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXOeXSTZAI
Izuku: "Ten years..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Njs0ec0lP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORxEsUFMwM
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ1clXQQGF
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDJjieuiUJ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWsyt8LMi
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo9uuCGwlc
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S1cAyokDa
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h1AUtd5lw
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNpysMqa4X
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYajWyQxoW
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI4YXkbrXo

The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeseymF5zoO

Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaQoUW3YUN
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujWURYjmkm
Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPOvYONWjm
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEwlXwB7LW
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBp7mVYWyo
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm7x9yBKy4
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWRYeSC50g
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡausB8e0h43

Tatsumaki: “Okay, that’s it.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32E3jXv4Jl
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CuRHBx3uc
Tatsumaki gently moved the two from each other with her powers.

Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVkpqZl7IY

Valkyrie pouted at being separated from her big brother.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagGhDvW4yj

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjMzAPPaIQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQKyA0KFz
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUyzqjnuV3
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinkbtsUsRp
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…
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzW6bkJkrP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Q2lqtDKV
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr0zAALqLo

Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb7mTIwdH4

She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GGhejnyVs

Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qSvFfSUkv

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxEVLANiAX
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl8tQTiEho
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BuQjJv18j

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

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt29inSEChX
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr3BJuTOjy
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYewayz4HDM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4UxXh3T8y
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABeaHith66
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQtbQXorRx
Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNpHHi8Qty

Nezu: “Nevermind.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv0a0Y9b4C

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE38zxvHejU

Nezu: "It's quite alright young man."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXytWlIyxew

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcETwWaYyc
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSxq6h9hQN
Nezu: “Sadly, we're out of time today. But you'll still have Toshinori to train you today.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstR9zo8CKp
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnHelB4EXc

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFuqCTj3xc
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTcDqRS51
Nezu: “Hmmmm, in that form you don’t look like the famous vigilante. Perhaps…you can apply to U.A alongside Midoriya.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpZnWaHDcx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjPcumbEVe
All Might: “That’s an excellent idea. Her experience in the field could even rub off on her fellow students.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4siViPPdAq
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUeoFnjuC3
All Might: ‘And she’ll become a licensed hero, instead of staying a Vigilante.’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tTnClmhFH

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOdDMD3Gn5
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7lViJ3n01
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.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BBMAjscKv
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOb8n9haHl
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLJsskLxpf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvx0bxMZhH
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYPiaDrGKX
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHA6sy9OtZ
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DJ74j9LNe
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiCyAzAv2W
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYYsYrfdxb
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHLZVTOoNl

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyuze15EZJ

He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHM8bTSdCT
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHShTo6HxVz
Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHzDeRZDA8
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx4OjgICU9
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax8YRXbBiL
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEruZ4ncHw
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73zN2IH7Kz

Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv2AjTUjbK

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8wFhid7pM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudAG1U3t2i
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYfWm5JEN2
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO14bKlRzD8

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwFgnUsLLZ

He blanched, finally remembering.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytb48tycz9

All Might: "She…She…flew headfirst into a wall."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y8KcYB1kG

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6kDZ3cd7N
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpacqa6Kjl
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?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOrMo5cx0k
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1W0gnVbI0
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWvPRS0RhG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ1xwKKSdq
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAbkpV351U

All Might: “It was a long time ago!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sStAz5I6b
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4vLlpwPDk
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZIcO0bwuD
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2gIf73IUm
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT6jWxJq8K
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdAtETdKJr
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"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMs4wnEhPr

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96yJH7CbT8
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z6VnEduVm
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn1FgIqxLl
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXMeiHzhzh
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIok6HNt1wx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsf21rK3h5

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtipLLlclz8

Fubuki: “But that’s only if he can control it. It’s too dangerous.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrIP5Z9L34
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GCtw1cIZb
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCy03whblx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdafwtK0tFp
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWvxfxhxiM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW93J6gSfZ
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFhM3i5s3I

All Might was looking even more deflated than usual. Chiyo spoke up, finally deciding to speak.

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.
