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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKR6XgLFlSW
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOXPiyxdBbZ
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAceyvvnZ8lN
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANASydOlNGfc0
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAU8bUuzZr0k
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.]
103Please respect copyright.PENANATyVRpq52gF
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAvrsbkt52uj
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ9UYoIpK0
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAd1Z5wHOncC
Inko: “But she’s family.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGWiVWMzjN9
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQHwcbU0fIi
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6EBcMFuK1Y
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAE3hY3GInTQ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGLDB6a3mLP
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZuQBW1jK3Z
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANADDVFnc9BfS
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVmAWuFOIg1
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAP634Mu6BWW
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFaRQwfssKl
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFYYBh3cCsB
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA5iTnidleMo
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKgsnl3m1qd
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANARs0evPkZ9m
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAcUGKy3U4pZ
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAUm6p0xnfwQ
Fubuki: “Good.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAcZFmAFiaqX
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANApoeZS9QwM9
Inko: “I have an idea.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAUwqOag2H17
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAan9kR6kvkP
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAEtjVory4ai
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAt7cN3te2Pp
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAPeD1R5C30L
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqPSc9JkOWP
Inko: “I’m glad.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMAmT82sBdI
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAw6oVbBZ6k7
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOBbxcEM0vn
Kiri: “Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAnUXNTBfGvJ
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVhurTZ4fpO
Izuku: “Right!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANACiUv2lYhmv
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAG21PeedvrV
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAgUUWeJGdA0
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANALFPMfumjEk
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAx4ZXsZxcAH
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmxVE60RALv
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAx2iJLiGAHv
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAzIPyMuGOJo
Kiri: “Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAz0nIZnLbJ9
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqpSBh1etFq
103Please respect copyright.PENANAtkr9iZfXnu
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA0VG74PCgSv
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAu9hBXo2kkC
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA1EDHm4SbjP
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAUKVQC7yytY
Kiri: “Nh!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZPe4mORCdC
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAK13ZlRmrWU
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGnSxXOmhqA
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
103Please respect copyright.PENANANiRypyj5Dz
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAcrfTHYm9rQ
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqWPKRnNFnx
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAEzLTKsIEb3
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9cy00KTUBc
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA80XWzmwx8h
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lqm0R6tUG
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?
103Please respect copyright.PENANAfkEt7iH6CB
Kiri: “Onii… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAuxACuDE92X
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAc57dXWCoNq
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA91cybOnBAn
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAO3OCz1kiE1
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmSYOZFq8Y9
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9kilsB2OCY
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZEcbLvfXg1
Kiri: “Who?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANALIe7flKqEO
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAs4Xq0qHtnC
Kiri: “Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAuzp4G7DVeZ
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMqVIeBYrTD
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAzF637KphJD
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAWkwOSIJ6p2
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVBCZaCYFMv
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAIeQt83lg6G
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANApb2DnpeWTa
Kiri: “Nh.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANADJPKtQPcmb
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAX1YDh5MIKe
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAHZvXKkDWow
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKGqSIqraDo
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJFcn58gYM8
Silence.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA7HHGSUUBYo
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
103Please respect copyright.PENANARBG6Vwc2EA
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAS4kSmiJWCn
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZklVsEOMJO
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFVeewjrd34
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA7t9DGz17op
Bakugo: "Shut it."
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9dsyscg5ve
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA0X2FoFvlPt
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."
103Please respect copyright.PENANARuPm5Wsazc
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
103Please respect copyright.PENANASsa5IS1dZJ
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA3JSvG4aw4U
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMCmyi80WbH
Izuku: "Probably."
103Please respect copyright.PENANAhbVUzeilDi
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
103Please respect copyright.PENANANNLNHqMDML
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMWGGoYpWMg
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAHOEahNmqXW
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANATTC1OxJDIB
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9WddcqdaJT
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAAVAOzXO7XF
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAUJRO7mBSdn
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAPKtjm6y0Ds
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmKYgIs1BNL
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAv8baQUoMNQ
"May I ask a question?"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9NoLD5wcZm
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAba1OxGl8wy
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxt5pZWjnMu
"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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQwmy1jnXW3
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANASRb23d5mA8
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAAOnjxGTHxs
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAfvz2lRLmQG
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqJl9d8U7Pw
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!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANASKAwcqe4cp
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAlzJIfEH3eX
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxbiUs46YeC
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAnGdBmqW9cL
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!'
103Please respect copyright.PENANAAUBHTaoPKN
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAofCv8QkcVO
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
103Please respect copyright.PENANAj5qFQDtFOi
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAvh0hNy6JWS
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… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAwbbYAnOElq
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
103Please respect copyright.PENANApXdqNaJiuC
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA74dv6ZkirM
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAjaCRUynan6
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA7y8L66sNpa
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANApx1St8eO9X
All around, he could hear murmurs.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAarpJS85k1m
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA3EGvFldCvY
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA15D9YuclT9
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdVhuBEUxmj
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKCCr362SrN
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
103Please respect copyright.PENANArmKq3v4tGo
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAd9auTzO75W
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6WXLj29DaS
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAXeqFKghc0r
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAm9lOX114Y8
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAuAvTh19kcE
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAHK7wQSbm3K
But before anything else can happen-
103Please respect copyright.PENANAO5tRFf16i2
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAngx9sp3meF
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAzXJyWtmUyJ
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA12jZBYrAtm
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA5KQATA2A10
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
103Please respect copyright.PENANACs7nuTnU6o
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAfh7pDzH3Cy
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAtYFERjgMe5
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAtoVHjjL4S1
"Target acquired. Terminate."
103Please respect copyright.PENANAj8L0DtbaoN
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAY1v9GVL0N2
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA85O4VGfegY
Izuku: ‘One down.’
103Please respect copyright.PENANACKsNiVgssh
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOjaA6YmMQX
But he never got the chance to do anything.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAciw9Q32LLu
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA1m2UGKGb2B
Izuku: ‘Next.’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAgrGag5QKYL
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVsdUm532mw
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAG8VFU8PchN
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANApGIC3YMim4
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANApogX7IS32W
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAaIE7YAEanc
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAST45viioGO
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZFmku23W0R
Izuku: “No problem!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANACZblnQzD9h
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxpuceP8r1H
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOGXQ9612nn
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmM1UyuieLq
103Please respect copyright.PENANArUTExBt39k
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOKXhldarjZ
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJi1yGjViMI
Another person spoke up.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAe0kLf5u6oU
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
103Please respect copyright.PENANAYiBQFQA6Ql
Another picked up from where he left off.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA5MAL9Foqbq
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9cMuck57A0
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA8lAmYeIZiz
A squeakier voice continued.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdylCpd2wTo
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA7n5Fg1h2mV
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdrP62K8qsK
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAotiIkgCkh4
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqiI9IVYj2Q
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Hb9MZRMD
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
103Please respect copyright.PENANAtFDnK3hlw3
This time, there were three images.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAraNKBpmKgD
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAfxjKUiZ24d
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZjVknS194p
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKRcuul6233

The squeaky voice said.
103Please respect copyright.PENANARbZeqBnYnO
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAK7lvvtc6hP
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6sCMEy51oG
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAY3fprmCoqX
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAV3ZMyb23Uw
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAvwbP0LJ8ep
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxOk3o9oJuF
One of the males replied to him.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdBSbJYwadW
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAlrq8btS51k
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxMgBB9doo5
103Please respect copyright.PENANAccDm5JwjkY
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANApezBHveAGQ
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJLFG5q6vJU
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANATWqrx1yG19
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeUvbf6uCrs
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQGFUT8h5y0
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAfzLUrzYNFl
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFCTKq30LOP
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAl20P5f3rTL
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
103Please respect copyright.PENANArqLr7vaO6t
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAvAPo3vw543
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAc2wl2xRFDa
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAUvrgaRw4ie
Uraraka: “No!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAne0DwmJLGm
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAh3PErDSAgV
Uraraka: “Get away!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVHM7yidJ7l
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmSxgpiyOy6
Uraraka: “No!!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAnwVG9DSA7x
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJAR6CIJHX4
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
103Please respect copyright.PENANARECkNQdnd4
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA5rTkHWyxoh
Uraraka: “Phew.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVTTKX747fN
“Don’t relax just yet.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAI54YtLby4Y
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAzzAl6l2xQh
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANATz35RNOtok
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJpqeccbEel
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeyueGUFB6l
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAzEc9PLIeGm
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA4TFj5ZgVpI
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANACkpKv7iuWN
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAP8BaOIIDAy
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANACdAUTOp5E1
Kiri: “But… points.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAoYMnoP8TfC
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA7YV3AXTm5F
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6SPwZlex48
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAoI0kd0eUde
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAu7lNMmQo85
Kiri: “Nh!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAi6ai6spPnY
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAyUGj1AIJ4f
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAO3zpeQat0w
“Huh?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOI2I4rwjT3
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAr94W5pdU5v
Izuku: “Fire!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANATcOtUhlCiQ
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAx11NpWwigh
Izuku: “Kiri!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZVKOW5DkUc
Kiri: “Nh!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqGSKR2GW1O
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAupTFYBkNyL

103Please respect copyright.PENANAJkApiFUgD7
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFqgIxqK9nu
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAELLsaOokwb
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAnFJYlojAE7
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAXxIMrVSrOz
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAtVoDSZHJT9
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA2U7fFhw3tP
“You were like real a hero.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkW4mdAEl6l
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAozpc11btFS
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
103Please respect copyright.PENANAoKeLJ6qanW
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAlenJmb3aHY
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqaVR89YY6K
103Please respect copyright.PENANAsxc1mIodu0
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAlr04aQRhVg
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAptgqeWMzDi
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGc4Vd6ycvd
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
103Please respect copyright.PENANAn6D0KXvBfm
He looked at the brunette.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA0d99tqB84K
'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… ’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAtWdoBjxfrL
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAhga4gF0Jfj
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
103Please respect copyright.PENANAYc4r1fqeiP
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAns60cnQJ0p
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
103Please respect copyright.PENANA41U1uLFjnv
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
103Please respect copyright.PENANA8hnJT0K2jF
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKXU7C3dH2j
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAwkHsUnMezf
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOibn6zlq1Z
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAiFy2rNJ4Z3
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vvcot1ijp
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAlMlJgHQ6Nn
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA3c35mxPQUs
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQPQyslaEcf
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAhvGbzs4XuW
No, he can’t say that right now.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAPKRANlvNeM
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAAmWxwTpTbA
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAHwOIkbmzRK
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANATBZe2jcFsL
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANARa73P4h1E5
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxTrXcaIDZk
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAWgtKF8mbPa
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAl4eExxGPP3
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAjvaOJdbB61
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAHsFKItnJEJ
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAYQxZwxZw6K
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA55vV27JtXG
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAInQHM8If3q
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMLTzkpeiem
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeXXupPYg4B
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeGxfxBXQ8y
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAoQXMnv2kx7
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAE1XuALmJq6
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAh4kJkIHM6l
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANANiETuBvMfq
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAH6UtdtCL99
Izuku: “How do you-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKtRKJhpwGT
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAF0w8fLmafA
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmjZQCtpAxh
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAAmSMDhhQjx
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANABJHWApwjDA
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAH91huixFbQ
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
103Please respect copyright.PENANApUIIBRCAa4
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQefpbX4Z3L
He bowed to the camera and the family.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA3oPHVQNGKy
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqVbYnkWyTQ
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
103Please respect copyright.PENANANmbI5IeH76
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."
103Please respect copyright.PENANANkaYciM5Yo
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAPlckfROlmE
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAC7DgrTYap2
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAE0hgnXWbMu
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAH1FKFfpGsn
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA0qMPyeMZ5a
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkBTx0TFMGK
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAONb9fm3hgi
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?"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAWJtT0RrtkP
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA1NQgk3uWyt
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAYcH518C9Jn
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA8LXOwk7nzK
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANA5h1TXHwM3L
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAYnIJvcpv9J
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."
103Please respect copyright.PENANAuS4CuxUl1t
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
103Please respect copyright.PENANANeSl3oKwJu
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAhH2DTh3pst
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!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAP2s67ZKXBx
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!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANArqZhzRnFwT
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAnK5aUdxKjO
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZrtlRdep0G
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
