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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAzNhqj6ZyCg
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAcLhF4rNMoG
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAs2k2yqEZ5u
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtU1bPUq1xq
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqKhMoYc4ae
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.]
200Please respect copyright.PENANAelUM4CrD8p
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAS5tGMK60Xc
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
200Please respect copyright.PENANATfAv4px0D8
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAnppMDhMv3n
Inko: “But she’s family.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANASvx4oULPw8
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjNfxqQ5WTz
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAoJAGTp8AQi
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAuf6lkqxUNU
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjjWwHe4EzI
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAIlShm8mLh3
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA9wSpuObnUF
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkMnzFwhjzZ
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAUC6X4QIl1h
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAiJgRwoGPQF
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAHpZtUnFiXs
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAg0L7T4nVWE
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAf25G54JcRd
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAebtbsmQ2hF
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAQiVYB48D9R
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAp8L8bqdw8h
Fubuki: “Good.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAIcHew8DU1M
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAzfF0WHkKt4
Inko: “I have an idea.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANArqW2SOtQqd
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAmVaKr5jiKX
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAL3tT5pdMQO
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA1CJCbkEug3
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAu4WfoInLFm
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAQjg0ecIwYC
Inko: “I’m glad.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAlOsvh1GuEH
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ioAboc9T
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7PswBEo8e
Kiri: “Nh.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjxwsqj6QYz
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA903Hjsxyoq
Izuku: “Right!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAexnBU8zT8t
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAO41i3CRdWR
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA2wcQdKaSRH
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAXYnF1nL4YL
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAVb4doWIT7T
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAUXX3jenBWF
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAuzkZHTHETf
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAWw7vYjn3me
Kiri: “Nh.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA5vrBfA296x
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAITFabx1dXY
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtpoQTPWmpg
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAlWM6umLhOp
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAQnQKkyzt2d
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAuXPt8EWU8q
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANARYRCLy6kco
Kiri: “Nh!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkT4ezfQ771
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANA5pAZCLYIjS
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANANHCMdsTrBl
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAs9YpOYGvco
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA9zD1SXPxK8
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANACshgjA1PE8
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA9BOc5s6HwY
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAJpI7BrPBvB
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAV4GtFeLp6V
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAVryvocNFtR
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?
200Please respect copyright.PENANAKr9gxSNH0f
Kiri: “Onii… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAYIN33Uo0LO
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAaKuH7OrbY2
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANADPlZPDvl3u
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
200Please respect copyright.PENANAbGQ7goxHFf
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAka9zfRjcMs
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAaYeJR621Tc
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqlVwfOCA26
Kiri: “Who?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANABlWVLVFORB
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANACWkpqQ5kQV
Kiri: “Nh.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAPw6grRBQOZ
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAPT7VawUvrJ
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAdGG8YEeZqo
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAJG7OdloSIk
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkJEJA5GHRu
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANATAhj5Hb6oF
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAId1MNjZKoG
Kiri: “Nh.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA61udTQEBFZ
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqYRirGjX6N
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAZDjzMBeGC7
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAk2o5xoZV3j
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqx0fI3rpxz
Silence.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtromgsFxCO
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAq5otckfZtD
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAoEw3H63J3y
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAxoRtZE1U7Q
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANADM8C1v9EqS
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtHnx99eJS7
Bakugo: "Shut it."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAH6AJdNoagb
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAgprZGAKehi
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."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAhRYyR6hguK
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAWGj1J7Cb50
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA8fzgFd6Qvh
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAHb523QTYi7
Izuku: "Probably."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAe9WHXgylIm
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjibGoTfv8Y
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA0gfXZuUYJa
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
200Please respect copyright.PENANArgrYsVmbXw
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.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAFfJ7Dz9Dpq
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAwjcio3MMJW
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAn0ajebvnbX
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANA3TBoCLQZq4
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA2P1TQBDq7u
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAhvNRbM8HpY
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAm7ke2waUo9
"May I ask a question?"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAHFNpbLonJA
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkQbEahYezJ
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
200Please respect copyright.PENANADI7CBpocsl
"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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANA9xaP9Yvrty
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAgAHZg5ZOwz
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAdSqKYvrIQA
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAbQB90vmgQY
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAOdx0mAjIAK
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!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAYnSVjvVhJv
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAV4qpzfrWc4
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjadtjE9zuT
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ1ldWRg2H
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!'
200Please respect copyright.PENANA2BXupIjw0y
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAY6lxKvsQIr
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
200Please respect copyright.PENANAs3JLShcthF
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAUtD1TxUErS
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… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANARyVuYHYiZn
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAj6NttIPxOd
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAyJRtJzXIj3
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAxvxx4azN5X
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAj9tZGvYiyf
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAcr8xtmrZ1X
All around, he could hear murmurs.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAKmPatoq98T
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
200Please respect copyright.PENANASHFjxVHd25
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAyqgg42Cvaa
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAHQM9O97DJv
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAV30Q1RYTpJ
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAlXmG3e83ar
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
200Please respect copyright.PENANAzyx26Sw0jp
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
200Please respect copyright.PENANAfGoFP8Ls9p
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAV0qJIXpFzH
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAMk2Tc7eeZd
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAhuARq4UtCL
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAxgMQWQY0Rw
But before anything else can happen-
200Please respect copyright.PENANASBh6aK1QdE
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAUeixZC1ayE
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAR7PO0QkMqW
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAcbT43Xxbfn
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAvbkofikQUy
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
200Please respect copyright.PENANAvbpBj1pQ5M
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqcOQh4kKry
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAMim4UTE2Uc
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAccll2B6WTE
"Target acquired. Terminate."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAxcRhkmdDWj
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAzL4zJPjjNH
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANASBAC2VJX80
Izuku: ‘One down.’
200Please respect copyright.PENANAQ33vMu8hyz
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAnLvBeDGsCC
But he never got the chance to do anything.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAvyoUFh0A5I
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
200Please respect copyright.PENANALkso9DbE2a
Izuku: ‘Next.’
200Please respect copyright.PENANA4HBeUO3OBP
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAGStjWXzKwI
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAA4Ex1Gt16o
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAL7ouF87zC7
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtxMV7nzq2w
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkLlA6s5FuP
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAFpcL27SzmT
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
200Please respect copyright.PENANA4XZxEuI0Fu
Izuku: “No problem!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAo44AsCXUL2
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
200Please respect copyright.PENANAFj0UsRveD1
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAl1gSenfSyQ
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4o09kql8B
200Please respect copyright.PENANAXVhxg1EN3a
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAgaw350sEHt
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqUIyw6uT49
Another person spoke up.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAKMsaQYiOpE
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqRX9FMQKHo
Another picked up from where he left off.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAq6NdoYvDZz
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAif3HuQtxoW
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAgodjuRNXBS
A squeakier voice continued.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA1lkBVKVVTv
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjpmvfgpZ6d
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqNk62LdGL4
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAVZkQRRcgI6
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
200Please respect copyright.PENANACyvtCewHPp
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAH1tKtTV4lm
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAbP7Bi5saYb
This time, there were three images.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAW7OddSOQYH
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAWucT2Fgclh
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
200Please respect copyright.PENANANV0ZZcKCpS
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.

The squeaky voice said.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAUa3Z8RxGdR
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAEyq6upQ3bS
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAIL8DvT5dZG
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAGcOmUuhDOI
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAu97TE89UKl
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANACfyUV3sOJG
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
200Please respect copyright.PENANA2QUpamGNRU
One of the males replied to him.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAKhw65EJnYg
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAXl6cl5b4op
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAfpPk7V2eRU
200Please respect copyright.PENANA4owCERqUq9
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANATficJpMRHK
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAESB02KjTlt
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAeVRRwWMOBT
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA3b65WNVShQ
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
200Please respect copyright.PENANAIizmlU8tUG
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAT28UuA08OJ
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAQMnt1BgMHi
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAdDjqjj4ROB
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAFG0SlgBcS5
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAAU7PnNy29J
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAlqXSBO8wZi
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA4u5Ccn9PWb
Uraraka: “No!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAduzpfc5j3k
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAP3Pt6BmukT
Uraraka: “Get away!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANASOs2ruWfO3
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAmR3rISZU4X
Uraraka: “No!!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAVmqKoyQCJy
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAuHNpDsVV5a
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
200Please respect copyright.PENANApmlT8EsDLP
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAIyrcurCF7j
Uraraka: “Phew.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAs69DvJQmc9
“Don’t relax just yet.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA8fA6VyXvbg
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAE8ORLQNStv
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAHyA5pafdHn
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAYD0xAj7H0B
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA2tzWc2gFcJ
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtX51EdGhSS
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAhfdcd7u0oZ
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANANhohb96dSL
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANApqh2qtguus
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAU97Kuc6gYC
Kiri: “But… points.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAma9qbmhfDg
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAOItEIPC0Sn
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
200Please respect copyright.PENANARQer51oLt7
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANASQXpW2nEGk
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
200Please respect copyright.PENANARUDLuJERJU
Kiri: “Nh!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA9lvEBuo1ly
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtQOGAOu02y
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAwqkjESyU0J
“Huh?”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA4SNWElz6VK
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAYP98mtJAwR
Izuku: “Fire!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANArAqXuDyLKu
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANADQFHCfVmje
Izuku: “Kiri!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAUtR9C1Zb99
Kiri: “Nh!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkQm5xynoEa
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAY4wppqkgKO

200Please respect copyright.PENANAsaDjWT36NC
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

200Please respect copyright.PENANANJEBbJIbZ7
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA25RhiEKBuY
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANALrY8sFTR8M
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANABZ4dSn4bP6
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAALi3lMdvEA
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAB5rs1Ayphj
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANARObBwnFfE2
“You were like real a hero.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA6AiAGR7qgJ
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAs1E8G4hOe0
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
200Please respect copyright.PENANAFXpK2k1izq
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANABdWl2Pk6V3
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAs0X0PUHBTT
200Please respect copyright.PENANAJD4hAsrcCg
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA3XWpKbKsYI
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAhVCswKpSjC
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
200Please respect copyright.PENANApnyy2KrHrT
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
200Please respect copyright.PENANASFXDsBab2c
He looked at the brunette.
200Please respect copyright.PENANABKgB2duo0C
'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… ’
200Please respect copyright.PENANANOjVwallDf
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAwIFtaNuMzV
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjGKyKIAJE7
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA9vcv7AaqSR
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
200Please respect copyright.PENANANdqRHYxzcU
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
200Please respect copyright.PENANAonwsmE8RwF
200Please respect copyright.PENANA4DlOgzcRps
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAteRzNQr3Kd
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
200Please respect copyright.PENANAg3JxVsAXpH
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANANzQtfl75Wb
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAyHueUOmYCI
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA92DwIQ7Cur
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAFYP8KO2BN1
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANACL8mGxnAGe
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA1IuB8vNJys
No, he can’t say that right now.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAVMJX5k2ZHt
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAc9uXXaC1qg
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAd379bvko26
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANATxitZeeuFC
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cv61JJD2q
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAA4NUd7yKsI
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAAbmk4LFaGM
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAWffttcV8T1
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAi1cxMP0Ner
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA7R5k7qbtI0
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAqRfFdu1uPp
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANABkeSAxPBFs
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAeT8livWEJg
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAVxMK80emKg
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAr01K2jMHVA
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANArZGrWixOMb
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjpDbAsOfNr
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
200Please respect copyright.PENANABhhxEPYMIP
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAXgFoQ2omKd
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA7F4iHzQtyQ
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Gx9oJskD
Izuku: “How do you-”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAvL9umqoSVC
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAHFMULtboB7
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAOVq7JT0gPk
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA5hQHiC7bet
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAclRlKnRE9W
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAWZGvLmiDL8
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAoPACOqcxUB
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAlKxReCYUAe
He bowed to the camera and the family.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAPev7XreuCa
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANA7XLO60tPrR
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA7tEuvzSY06
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."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAWPJ926IuBT
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkjY2Kb4T6V
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAwdaPC0NaiU
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAcCRjmhgEq4
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA0vRCY7B4oy
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAVHfzBqXLwh
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAsXAb5y13Q1
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANARvSyAldZmC
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?"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAhCape80Y1t
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.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANADKEUrgoyuh
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANA9kSMnLgV2C
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
200Please respect copyright.PENANABP9mxCEe1t
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAobcbeU0TBb
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.
200Please respect copyright.PENANATzKyVA9jOb
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."
200Please respect copyright.PENANAdbL4Ka54cE
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA4rTwPeEFXf
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAsiOU6u0Mul
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!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAvcFhmNLa5M
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!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAKPOd73Zprf
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
200Please respect copyright.PENANA23hNlH6Pep
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
200Please respect copyright.PENANAuoljzUjEzD
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
