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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANALAtSDBxhfc
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAB1iK0nUAzn
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANALDf95mXCeB
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAl777KIF2Ud
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANACYlbzfd9SJ
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.]
353Please respect copyright.PENANAc1DukXt0yi
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcF36E8U38g
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ1pJ2pFl0
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANArIvXjEVKIi
Inko: “But she’s family.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAr2b9kgcnit
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAH4PgCiEoXg
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUDpwa1iYRz
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAgJr1kAFRyW
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANACd7WyuiHCy
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXgihcHDd2m
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvWQ78azdvx
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1spLyUke3Z
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfiFIyuvlVn
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlmrlXpZcks
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3YUqpiNdO
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAv7PgsHu1UH
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAs6irUxGKuF
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAiKD5t0m96Z
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAva4HRhSC9U
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAq0ptiItQI
Fubuki: “Good.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAPKefFCEpTT
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANATGEIKbpaSz
Inko: “I have an idea.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIZUG5vC59T
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAjAnOWB4zx6
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqOSAm9e2PG
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANArgmRZKXeEZ
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkS2M1VCF9I
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzK1CyTzSta
Inko: “I’m glad.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJtEHitKWBZ
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKCcxkXzGQL
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfgn4EhwjRK
Kiri: “Nh.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ5zbIGf2L
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANALv4nGHpGiV
Izuku: “Right!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAU6gAuorsqC
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAd2vhqtVCOn
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAI0pINzqPqa
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlO97ZQfEoT
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAuKkPjXBMch
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9FRHVtI2RT
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMlvFxJgNms
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKiYFmL49A2
Kiri: “Nh.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA69G28zeay4
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKqvv4FevGp
353Please respect copyright.PENANARFJq5ihEh4
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQsTTWenNVf
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5l0pbVNJtP
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQPSlQIVmMR
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAvWYnljyGV
Kiri: “Nh!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4VV8fI9q9W
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAffzYwrVNjD
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlj3X52jZ2L
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAbshmCbiUxl
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJqCGywOk5Y
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5bRYTVJFMF
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANACAQ8pFG7PT
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfdvJqtXS7j
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKgsK7uVJIl
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAs2YiY8xk8Y
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?
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJenvMl5HfB
Kiri: “Onii… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAch7W0pH4ar
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqkuE2AbHKq
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAhBi0dtSJhm
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUvHx6JT3kJ
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIy2x7vyi1e
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEMZUcyFZs3
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA44Mz5Li1l6
Kiri: “Who?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUsqFQShE9X
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJxuxMbjIkI
Kiri: “Nh.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANADitgSzubRI
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9mGDvtUJyx
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANACOrJaXdWDc
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4gZRp99lZf
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYn2RcLjBDN
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAch5DOrjlWm
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA6MkV0RGkKa
Kiri: “Nh.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJmSvVwrtz8
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJncthUSxpE
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJTZCWrilpQ
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAmi6dCmoPms
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAigdLrdfzYW
Silence.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4n9QURbVyg
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxLzGsCTDWS
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANADVXj2M4nQv
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwWCE6K8SfY
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGUfIGTPFZq
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAE7yCsbJO68
Bakugo: "Shut it."
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1uvbf90wce
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQmyH5oYCgE
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAy37nJoFekJ
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdcK27cZg4w
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0rZooqUlvH
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1HvLgtmPx2
Izuku: "Probably."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZtS02glgSL
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAoLD2rSAcoY
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAe5R1Y5hoT4
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGMbl9F9oVe
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.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANADB16Hg0gaq
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAeSe9e16ltN
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvJL9X5yrKx
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA00TNBACCqd
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKV7R3r45zC
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0g2jDBneO6
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKSGna9TBlE
"May I ask a question?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANApqIPgEYKDX
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANALScGblkxsZ
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAgJCqmx7vCu
"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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkcszwxvCT3
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAyI915Hj13F
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWXjqPFysWL
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqKKu0WD2uK
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4DMfnQqkJX
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!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQAftSYsXXx
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAl7LVO6WuFG
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwiDOb0Yj4G
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcWQqMxHBHz
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!'
353Please respect copyright.PENANACE9erz3IAJ
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJQg2sBu032
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAaqVvDFclE
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWh28Ywq6xW
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… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzNySGwgZW6
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAt7te2CPDTW
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAA2p3RWEOME
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAPvz2MptDjm
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIgpP8qmL80
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUiAC741rKu
All around, he could hear murmurs.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA49XOIjT4xY
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKGK0ecOsRt
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANANd9cPsNifc
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAj4BylRrTa2
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAc7V2brgTNO
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1hzLarQtVG
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8qqFPjmgcu
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
353Please respect copyright.PENANANtsICMZIpF
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdUj1VnsxaK
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAaPmEeEkVBR
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXanB0Sq00a
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxp0ncFTvqn
But before anything else can happen-
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqUgSYcB0kQ
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAR2lT80wrDT
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXqK8gSyLdm
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAgYJl2M2Q6K
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAeFibVs7Wg5
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9BIxeFONAK
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAtTIT9BcYKL
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1ADcO0s10I
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAp8ZOmTn8Gu
"Target acquired. Terminate."
353Please respect copyright.PENANATUABtUBMdr
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqlOUu5W4W6
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAerSuh0bw8Q
Izuku: ‘One down.’
353Please respect copyright.PENANA53CqGhUkBe
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUJF6PBOg5j
But he never got the chance to do anything.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zk4OZcb5L
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
353Please respect copyright.PENANANDWUSZrKQh
Izuku: ‘Next.’
353Please respect copyright.PENANAW2OXjJ3SiG
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkrGaK2Mudf
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZM6tOxJqRH
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXb8wdK8zlu
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXNrN7JHBOW
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKYy8U5iN4e
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAntvTlr2RcQ
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
353Please respect copyright.PENANALU0VzmUpZg
Izuku: “No problem!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0sOs17sSyA
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIrG8a3B4Lr
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfbRPAJ4Uw3
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5I2qNwtCEB
353Please respect copyright.PENANAnpRQ7A4sul
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAPSfDccXK7t
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQBWXTfGRx2
Another person spoke up.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAC7WtYgox88
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkXKHtt1XuH
Another picked up from where he left off.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA3pbzq33FfO
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYmfExx6TJ7
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
353Please respect copyright.PENANACKKaTVl5ye
A squeakier voice continued.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlHu3i2gEI6
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAOeZN0QHJjv
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAt32m5tt8Tl
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAC2pvxrP7tx
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA43v2LsDoW2
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAD6cbTTqXfG
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0auDOqeEvx
This time, there were three images.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAsn3RHnBL41
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcfbW5cP2OH
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZwI42Brlxn
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAR5KNGMsKPr

The squeaky voice said.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAnzyEnY5L5v
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkZnw6SOeKu
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHQQ2ZnGFZs
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAa3voGhThnZ
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAOyr0h4KVMC
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7vAT7CIdlK
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxdoK5uYKC6
One of the males replied to him.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwJiXeD3tfI
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEtIqlajGVx
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHXUmkmxNus
353Please respect copyright.PENANArH9R81RN8b
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9CzS8EpyLV
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANASoaxDxmf0a
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKf97qyRJjt
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA6N8rAfHBcD
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZmiLvxqIZD
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvk7SdP58Wl
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2eOsS2amd
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIPhFujtIKF
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKaAfozSysh
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMShW2rYsoq
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAt7idgb20yd
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
353Please respect copyright.PENANASTJGhp15gC
Uraraka: “No!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMmJ5lMsxSw
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXbGspWaX0K
Uraraka: “Get away!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQfOL2jxGxB
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlj9EXat4MP
Uraraka: “No!!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdbklvcRMQN
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
353Please respect copyright.PENANADSGqhG8QG0
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
353Please respect copyright.PENANApJhlk5vQgE
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAP2SwcNk3Au
Uraraka: “Phew.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZxfQLvGZyJ
“Don’t relax just yet.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANALzUiXMTdHn
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
353Please respect copyright.PENANASMlNzrkE7J
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKSRiHQgjik
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAHsphSgd08
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwO1jraUaOq
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWrJ4if5tnA
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcqPdRrBoJ2
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkAXCuBQgOj
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5uDYj21kN8
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcXP99SMOEU
Kiri: “But… points.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzCu0sajRzi
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9m3OM4zS7j
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAO3SKmwqbEE
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4C536jAoVs
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAeOAeLcu6JE
Kiri: “Nh!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAU3t4nq3xEH
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfVKCd50Oxs
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA3QO6AWV88E
“Huh?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAeHqgrr35wD
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAnCAXPx91IM
Izuku: “Fire!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAVGCaiSOsWl
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAhZZIn4RTXb
Izuku: “Kiri!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA88GGSddslE
Kiri: “Nh!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAyO5XvcY3yl
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdcfYOtqNfM

353Please respect copyright.PENANAHGg3ZY4KH5
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

353Please respect copyright.PENANAHf873gAZQh
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANApNU7Ae4TnY
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA42GkruzynR
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAD64ghE27YJ
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAbHu2dCSAQJ
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWETgC9BZSS
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1eTPUZ4quE
“You were like real a hero.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAVsaFQhMyLN
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAP48gCazTfW
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
353Please respect copyright.PENANAE93EQ3s8sw
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAr9jWEOkpEk
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANApiiVRQ9Su1
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7mX6ZH3pR8
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAws20kCGpem
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAVwLmfiQlOT
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAnlIZ0wnVnP
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzuveyJ2wVV
He looked at the brunette.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAw0b0dUBvDu
'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… ’
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQTVUXEOq7z
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAupi1p8gJNP
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
353Please respect copyright.PENANABQdUbgvyGG
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5C5qiXGNMp
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
353Please respect copyright.PENANApN9V9Rouhp
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEXinHHRbVp
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGej4KtlCH3
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdDWlL1PvYR
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ9UGHMfZA
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAF4SBX65FXS
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
353Please respect copyright.PENANANPVNBR9ZVi
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzJUeQvetWk
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAS2sK4mTnWd
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvPYqKR25bB
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAX793Bz7u5W
No, he can’t say that right now.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4gD4JiGOHy
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQiaXTGNkkV
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8hgbVMuooR
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAF6GmO4RXtS
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAUntqfPHeU
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAhYuTvwb3tr
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAo0NsaHnJH2
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAbjxB4xbiJi
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAO703YbI8um
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
353Please respect copyright.PENANANrl9uj4mpR
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7IMaAwoy4q
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAFRXk6Uxhii
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWpjcifkM0t
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAgM08D9PeT6
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5SuyM10idT
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYnlBDhlJKk
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAeP0QAeBljP
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvzZbRfoGqS
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcflWQDGOAD
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAF4l0GXgwPX
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA3K2eceb5Su
Izuku: “How do you-”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8YwEBTWrii
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAq8MZczEMj9
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcToBiSAmds
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHnsvFtJI1S
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJPUetMFWv8
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAw5KtVqNjDX
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzpIo9Z6WBk
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7MYLR1t6Yb
He bowed to the camera and the family.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8YU0AZqSgl
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAW8cNEYq2mS
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYHIBDV5eCk
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAbBoaXmq7g4
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAq8VYT53Czt
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA73zeng0Ip5
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANADA4WQQFKQW
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXRsX0uGajT
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA41hAZeMv6b
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAraKQPyw3JL
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAtt4ojKcNfy
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?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAat2w1Lsi7s
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.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYvve8ITMYv
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANARzS19n7j4T
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAp6nrSeefIc
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQaKpXToI0K
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZPVQ4TqImo
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANADwXZ2xyQD6
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAhJFGPUw745
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAV9kHs2rKxA
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!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAiYSwUNJAsj
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJtZRBmEIEz
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ8GRQw6IA
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAjmquctKldE
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

All Might: "With such heroic effort, you were even able to slightly edge out your big sister’s score!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZzzefjCpHC

353Please respect copyright.PENANAO0dHcer3Os
All Might: "You both pass!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA3z8iQGBpE7
All Might said over his shoulder, his back to the camera. He turned around and held his out hand.
