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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAt9DvM8hSZF
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtxoWAbN3Mi
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZcii8AQsYx
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAznX0SG5mdD
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANANX4TgoK2Sn
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.]
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWOEor6cU6T
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADCmW2o2XyG
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbjizAuWqeI
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANASOtM4Q3NMO
Inko: “But she’s family.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAk2uZ464c4Z
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcrPM6TXb1T
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAX1PmrU7KUc
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABeW28fUbkB
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMCBj3EYyUZ
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADzKc3bbgKb
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAC088OXDYbH
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApnrkkxEdaB
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAPPcjEhd8OC
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeY5E6WJcoP
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1uwiuneOZt
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAItbgQPq6Ov
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6LBmu9SyXX
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlv2m2rhNH7
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxJOOBulOpb
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMXi9GkvVqP
Fubuki: “Good.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANALjLC6a3YpA
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4HV8vbEKC
Inko: “I have an idea.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhmfG4Yrf7a
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0S1bV8eIiA
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3zqDsH99XX
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9pqpM5ItoF
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1tuwyZNPpI
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeYL0puMC8U
Inko: “I’m glad.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQjQVe9P9Sr
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMNbCoF5YRl
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEs8CcBXTQZ
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOEOwYhTOJk
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzAwqd17r3N
Izuku: “Right!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxhGMA9kpg0
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnwmgLaCkPz
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkqhtZTfBOT
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANEjHwhquiq
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZHmTA2cV4
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEJOfUODRZn
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJo7Dk33yaz
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoyHwWiWQc0
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAid5pxfyNEj
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGj8SC33An0
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmQtgKeM8il
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3DqxqxN2qp
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcv893RX5TC
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKM8OxYgRFF
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhexbmwnlq5
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQAI0bndopS
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoxknoIf56y
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAd4VIexua0F
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwMJ1Lgivgl
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAK29Joc51cZ
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxYLSyATPyn
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAfggV3vIwdQ
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHQzSSH2xuw
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyavT5LV7kM
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABs6UfVJWt5
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?
498Please respect copyright.PENANAO8whbINpKf
Kiri: “Onii… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhSyHXMcW3Y
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzE0dTu3x3l
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwKPsVUFEcJ
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdjGjL3p2k5
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKY2fSFwkpp
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7XBGFxPMRG
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQnTBj10ur2
Kiri: “Who?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANADRoIWkxGuV
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAq8SqvTLJui
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAC02tsoi73X
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAc1n6N00F87
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOc87PdYWnA
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAqjMSauXSXD
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANASzPPecML0T
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQNAQXUywq3
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8X6IPJi4kI
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQTHc5QOJI1
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOEeEQINzLt
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAr8klXTFHIc
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGrfD961z3F
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAj3euzeFnou
Silence.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkHFKF985Nw
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0dYQtXdNOB
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEzDz6R1DyO
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
498Please respect copyright.PENANARz0yckpx4o
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7cqAHFuLw2
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAosbjkksn9Q
Bakugo: "Shut it."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQO4ca7Lfqd
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAuE3hy14AV6
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."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAImNc5NQBUH
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
498Please respect copyright.PENANACImyE68Xvq
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
498Please respect copyright.PENANACJMRsQOezL
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAP1JC0Zpmn8
Izuku: "Probably."
498Please respect copyright.PENANACuGrINOz7d
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAl92S3Rizqa
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAXBzq4fRkm
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlBqd3nms7Y
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.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAPToLhCFopQ
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAITc0kMGAcE
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAs8C2S1NqEa
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvjel1PtLK1
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAO7vRqdrDZw
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAqKhZMKuh6U
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4YKGs0n0ac
"May I ask a question?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAy5b7bu16ef
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQk0AoS3eCE
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJCXt0Diiq2
"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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxtMDjy90u8
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q60kUHR1K
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
498Please respect copyright.PENANALijKgBVs6B
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUPA3xRMTUf
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGzEYLOTSf4
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!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAfQwUyRWgYf
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8yRSgg1e75
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2oG98xrXRj
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0VJLSxwrJE
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!'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwosMrwRzc7
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApL3GSeVvom
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsp8PwvD2q4
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlRK8gI44FE
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… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYqVh8S1APz
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvxnIO07h5B
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMPYYvRskPD
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABSex2L5OcX
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGGyS1aq28i
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwf26Mkmv5F
All around, he could hear murmurs.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAO6nL6B3eMo
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHI1ZIc4Dwg
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5gm7S3Fldy
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANATOm1Rbvo0Z
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnVtD6xWeBo
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
498Please respect copyright.PENANArAgNDvuCGd
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAuEOQedysJ6
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxG1fIdP8gw
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAaEGwNBgk9j
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
498Please respect copyright.PENANASwcAxSRTJd
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA68X1DwlXpq
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAM7Ts1UFWjN
But before anything else can happen-
498Please respect copyright.PENANALsrNce0M35
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcOKg8p98Li
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAh0jMFOnuwv
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANACgMpnd5i3Y
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgSuqnBikiN
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjP5zxUvmlL
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkPo3P8pHRS
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAk7PeVRkfu4
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANALmLC85j1qB
"Target acquired. Terminate."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwTSjsXM7Qf
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
498Please respect copyright.PENANALl34jAwk9T
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFUzqlj0RN2
Izuku: ‘One down.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHRR6F6Cooc
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2H8zyDDf2f
But he never got the chance to do anything.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQhGZWv96aR
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhsXkMWlUTR
Izuku: ‘Next.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIZLkLD5BHp
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAu7tsjMJSDG
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABSo4xHO15r
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwATuRnDTm7
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWVZEk0Lmta
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeYe7KqsjPL
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYVKYn2mPvx
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAImnn3X2zsr
Izuku: “No problem!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8cTedTHoaq
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
498Please respect copyright.PENANA05NxEwIDA1
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAaOKGrEdszP
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAqIty4s7Spv
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvJio8eW1P8
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0b2ujTkMzH
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGiODqSB6Qc
Another person spoke up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvuI2L4fqNO
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mu4moPZRy
Another picked up from where he left off.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApEnDOG7LOo
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWKCRJk8ITg
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAISJmJRAL7E
A squeakier voice continued.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAW3ub0u31Xz
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7gy5tDS9Ob
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGWZNJJtBh9
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAR2VqJDZrq2
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdQmgnb6RV5
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0iMg8LUIad
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5bGN0HlZKN
This time, there were three images.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwTV1qTduEW
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3DqdUNku0F
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANACjyfr5Rn7A
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.

"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."
498Please respect copyright.PENANATYKD5lnUEb
The squeaky voice said.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZnbElkp4b
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQXoDhxPSl9
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVWL6okzEEi
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
498Please respect copyright.PENANADZQKjRxfJN
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXau0qWmkX8
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ8WE4FAEs
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsq0MYvbWWA
One of the males replied to him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Tt75uFj7
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwFzIVJp5d0
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMocxLUXCnd
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmkwl1TlJUA
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAARlYyffBXM
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0JkmmuZD1g
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXMqR1dtCmu
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADb5DbFZSKy
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdwprHTQH7y
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgVkgHtMNaF
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAswM97hIECQ
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADhEnM0bX5P
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADpjV20Db6q
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYEExNk6AzI
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATct7vs4rbm
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlJUtdPiA5E
Uraraka: “No!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5MKoTv5G5P
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxAOckYGL6K
Uraraka: “Get away!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIKbtv6jLMT
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATFEoNKBOxy
Uraraka: “No!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAR4mjJOvEdr
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6To4pwudsP
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQpFeNcAj21
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA03MtpWlg4r
Uraraka: “Phew.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsTl7Muedky
“Don’t relax just yet.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyde4jUJEg5
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8tKeYJp9OH
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAT4UjYxndxD
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgJHQr994p6
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAe7niY9aik2
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANASHZML447c7
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcVW4Ll6Ffg
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZigE3F4geb
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFNPiyuO8AJ
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAALVHattVdh
Kiri: “But… points.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEMoYsQ8Qh0
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2XSPcPYy8k
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbCB96pRXVD
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANATZkCptmpyn
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4l3li4HPpZ
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGM76zG72KX
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAacR5qrCSZU
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ0v2SxlJF
“Huh?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmOQeQZG4BW
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANARh8xNASD08
Izuku: “Fire!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKj044zSsf0
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7ypjvwuzb7
Izuku: “Kiri!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANASpdU6aWKAl
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANADYnQjuhnaJ
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZAxtWvckpg

498Please respect copyright.PENANAJvbqtitu59
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANWL6QuEJjh
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzhwN7UdONR
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgTt6VQRMgt
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADSTlEvRTKK
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbMvWUbX1xK
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7E0zlQJooV
“You were like real a hero.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8a6tOa1RR0
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
498Please respect copyright.PENANARLwDrSP9PZ
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdLoggaC8E7
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXXXkNA8fod
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOzVGAsQNzV
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsday0YoRMr
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANANkVjbPejpP
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjeDurQKaO0
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ2aKh4hwZ
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
498Please respect copyright.PENANABD3PCt82s6
He looked at the brunette.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgL60LimQ4s
'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… ’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXTM5ok6HEC
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAd9M8Yf8vgV
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsC4NeKZkEB
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAPaJqzL2Z7
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyZfmhMQgUL
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
498Please respect copyright.PENANAa5lwYavjvU
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8ucDeXayNg
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZf9whwhwyh
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYe7MKUNX6E
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABPNxqjSeV9
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUjNX8iuaxI
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAN2QtASoJL4
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwEbkwuMkCs
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAi7fc1DhGYW
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACx88I63O2p
No, he can’t say that right now.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAI1leXg7uMU
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdVikXk5YAc
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAiPoVqqQtpe
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkYjbPKdGxv
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsagc01TVUQ
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhgnlAvawfy
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACbY9BErZip
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJqQU4cF4sj
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAA8gtHSDZIF
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXFHakqUhqf
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzgVQ9WwY1X
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3UL3UCivWG
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAb5VzeZlg4r
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyDHdA41FOI
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1JU7p9cXjp
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANATTvARIIJcc
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtzpAJgFMaD
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATL6QPGdUAL
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAPMJ1YUe0o5
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxDPifvzfLk
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAID21DmLZwb
Izuku: “How do you-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6N3IAmQfR4
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABihLDJldlR
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYqrbBULlEw
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAScC5W8aDjR
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKjo9TjjmM7
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1XfpAlpufl
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADs3RsxWhq6
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHIOR9nyqGx
He bowed to the camera and the family.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1kDBord6Zc
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAta3Y5CWTRf
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYN754sUUXa
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."
498Please respect copyright.PENANArdqdMrsJ8A
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAA2I2uvVcQ8
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtL7TZC8rfW
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANARmuOyC76IQ
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6T0Zuxhafk
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ESKKvRyX
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzja1b0FECc
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOZTaTRyJTF
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?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdlbgkqvdj9
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.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANALIs0udfNFM
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAySMvIa8ZcL
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAE8mkjhKLW1
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcb5PbnQAi8
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUM2Xa2M3PT
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."
498Please respect copyright.PENANArU1vlH4iVR
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvRM9ajuhiU
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANACoALSkz70M
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!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcWNky9rWBi
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmSr2ziWWZ2
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAL8oCsJo44Y
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYgddmQIa85
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
