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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsfnsm5n6cd
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqYvGEmf1Ca
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdPNNtf2nfh
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAn41Fx85F8I
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvCXt7IHDUP
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.]
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnj9G6z90hk
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGjSP03ere2
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
127Please respect copyright.PENANArqR2WGihRe
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAravapre1Ej
Inko: “But she’s family.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQMqcNyEJoN
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7sj2f67QTv
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA55lIQihL6U
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAU7uYEUf5fI
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzW7d5WmS0U
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0BZGZlbjdO
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaBvIgi4MyC
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdsILP0IgU8
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtE2wVXMh7L
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdhRfQGnvbc
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAm2TDMbWihR
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKBFBSBGyiA
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANADWBjLPXTZj
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANANo3DKqTvsr
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXCZQVgSoAZ
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZb3WDZ1tTI
Fubuki: “Good.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgiatMuzRDF
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANACp384z0pR3
Inko: “I have an idea.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAk1xUvyCeXk
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqhjxXSY1gX
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsZT7UQsPz1
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA98TNlDB39C
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlAsTvdK78c
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHNdn4XASsr
Inko: “I’m glad.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANANzWpdQUPw9
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3GF9Mn6Afw
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAM8GV0JJZq7
Kiri: “Nh.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAC5He2gpDGQ
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUpyGneJQ90
Izuku: “Right!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKvonYdU9Su
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsuKaxzMGgs
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAEO3Wfmp8W1
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANASsjbmmTAwY
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7KxEoexhCS
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAv1BgwiNYMn
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIgXRVyz1sF
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvSqqTmpp7S
Kiri: “Nh.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHRs7Wg4RXP
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA49KyEutrrf
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2VopK3Aukp
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7c3nUAkM4m
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAD2xfAuQymO
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXnfx6BvUn6
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqvT5enWbmo
Kiri: “Nh!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAoHaFB2Zgut
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHLsAyYYvKM
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAH1CGmVKw5c
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJhjFe1Pp9B
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
127Please respect copyright.PENANABsBPMWHX3M
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIb4BRb2BLQ
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAv11OvBmqK8
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAv6hYHbOp7O
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANACnjpwV3GLx
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA63TBq1VFtY
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?
127Please respect copyright.PENANAumHRqpk3gA
Kiri: “Onii… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z7XI6jWB0
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuhoDQ4Y9Dv
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5OAaf4yfvJ
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQGzhLSu82l
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvmFcx6cLpZ
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKdpOyw3tnt
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgeew8kbZSP
Kiri: “Who?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA45QOp6BJbk
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxfFdE75ltX
Kiri: “Nh.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkcfFOjaEM6
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3VuiPEXIcU
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvf0cZI44C1
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGORmUjIPng
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAb2cfzkEhVm
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXdJu5bGdmA
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXl4BiSFVrL
Kiri: “Nh.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVwk9SRjMKm
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjFOL8t6o47
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
127Please respect copyright.PENANASyDtjk6dYJ
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAc3w4ClsESQ
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIUnyQOmAFY
Silence.
127Please respect copyright.PENANARISurtH0Jx
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7p91uPjsK7
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGKG46Pyzq4
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
127Please respect copyright.PENANABJTcyHJnU8
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgCirdnDNv5
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHZlg7bmMDU
Bakugo: "Shut it."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAy67X9vjD71
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1TrKVCMtv
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."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYN5uWFrxmd
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAedfMOlMmCq
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUy1m5fLLwv
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZSBjoRZHzG
Izuku: "Probably."
127Please respect copyright.PENANABEP2cAdp5e
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9g417PzW19
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvC1SXi5lMA
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAI8YEATN4Wt
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.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqicxqYrmpS
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANASxFz742LES
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0qVdulmj9d
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlyYgjJeMVN
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqrTbVPsxQA
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvlLtcL0ubW
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAF8irOC0iiP
"May I ask a question?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxM0jl26gRf
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAep01SAIzRv
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwEH1M9nlTk
"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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKXaIme9FNa
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKaAif6xxvq
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2jpIWaqVUs
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2tvjF5OZn5
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAo7C93iQVLQ
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!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiutF1ykJ5y
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvUy280QngQ
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmW7EeNsPba
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsz7VL9rfVZ
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!'
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKoNgfQXjKb
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgN4HWziYvs
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGKYMBdAniu
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPn6TX0GKRJ
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… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnPGfqAMC7y
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAieupYgs5tU
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANASiFavtP0vR
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAfTfRwZYhi1
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyMqfU2dUQ7
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAADd2vPQuC6
All around, he could hear murmurs.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKaPrFTvHlj
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7rlDj5Wl73
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAk1QwFyJisX
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzjKrQ9NEhy
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANACUPU6I13qt
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6seOJS0pcy
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXF7EWGXZHE
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIVSELyDoUr
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGd197IIAIK
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3LinYSNf5O
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANApuoKYsL88m
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqWg3rFWNjf
But before anything else can happen-
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuXz80xme9j
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAGCUIJ0FFt
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uoo2XwTm4
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAC1w6d5QdQ0
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAInlxTqPZq7
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
127Please respect copyright.PENANABBn0GxnaXS
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
127Please respect copyright.PENANASWiRKoRAnD
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAee293ybAE8
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAoB80fHuCRe
"Target acquired. Terminate."
127Please respect copyright.PENANASWnnh81SPq
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiDQ9L4V4F0
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANARboilfRQZu
Izuku: ‘One down.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwxzway6QHb
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2JgCLxFsRo
But he never got the chance to do anything.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAL8WVd8MGnN
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaLoHk3ik5d
Izuku: ‘Next.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYycPQUi7mZ
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUf9eJImqJa
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANARTlF121x2v
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2uWhmIweCO
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPkst2R2klo
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtVbcTTnbfP
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIMGdOrQA56
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcL1TCy7XlF
Izuku: “No problem!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgHhPefIZu8
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUdRA4AACZ3
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHXa9OyZSaR
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAY4jF2EYVAC
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxhE57uWstN
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAySv60mYTq3
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsjUuCuaa9t
Another person spoke up.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvGGII0e746
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtIpSUp5g2X
Another picked up from where he left off.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAle9b38DfAE
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcsfl14d1co
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4piqrC0emQ
A squeakier voice continued.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAk3yqwJLANI
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFkt7Jcc9lm
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
127Please respect copyright.PENANABFeUe1QFnw
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOpQzqWQtgU
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZlWWh9LnkR
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmxbKye1h21
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAo4eSBCKQPO
This time, there were three images.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA07qhkIZTcc
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
127Please respect copyright.PENANApDypumQHAj
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbfopsRNv8S
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.

The squeaky voice said.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmOuBZjcJMd
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtR3zLzFh3k
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7s2Ytpf74N
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
127Please respect copyright.PENANABnOS1dLGvP
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZvGJYT0RIk
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgfIY8Dw8O8
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAxPL7Ivgnvy
One of the males replied to him.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5UelEylsVB
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAeowBVV3iKw
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtbYzfxg0f0
127Please respect copyright.PENANAju0D7or6WH
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAA0lgeO7Yhd
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAll1D5IGVIR
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbKjGXAqn0E
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhWVh7cLfQT
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
127Please respect copyright.PENANACIPa7f7LNq
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5G2dTvQpZD
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAShuHntil4k
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAw7nirvNdqq
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAEkVjibwFAs
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdLsrvIApwK
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANArfwV4tzJCS
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdhBDgNzqoJ
Uraraka: “No!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAEVrMP9SYAc
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyJTcaHBtFk
Uraraka: “Get away!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaGILzQdjdJ
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJkkJvePigb
Uraraka: “No!!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAEgfd3I4HPk
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
127Please respect copyright.PENANADioWqIYeeX
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHVPkZBshkk
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsB84AEPp87
Uraraka: “Phew.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA84KGY7XDUv
“Don’t relax just yet.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4k39O0eMWU
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdjogqtN1D9
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQnpjrI74bq
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA1QqTDRDR9l
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2lIs2IoEx9
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAse6yVtQnvG
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAx6AfxGgSqG
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAe7gd9OzzG
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhh4EvMfoH3
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAu1QWrPS0RS
Kiri: “But… points.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOZp3IbrjCJ
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAKUUHP2OoAG
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIIUgwI9i4r
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4Iu0IhTqeh
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMgX6M4fDPH
Kiri: “Nh!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANABS1KIm6FoI
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAe4FoUM4KrK
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwE8tP2oY0a
“Huh?”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAos2cmroYXI
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqL2UEMGEZw
Izuku: “Fire!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcZEXfLpVvw
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAb1XfeGibBj
Izuku: “Kiri!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIs8AwQ6PHP
Kiri: “Nh!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQt3B739Bff
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANArWoiYqaaJh

127Please respect copyright.PENANA1k28J2AXq0
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANALbxb3VB42J
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnn1cxuUqUk
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsKC9PDnqmQ
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5a1iUB1s9d
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvMBjm8e20j
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5hnC8G1SxK
“You were like real a hero.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiTFzcjitiM
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZPiFf30saU
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2B29hSp5Lt
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAosHZPzA4pW
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAf1vwCCMZ34
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXqmUQhDWi7
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqiwovWEo2P
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANABUEP7rzsLA
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAfk4WqzvqJv
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
127Please respect copyright.PENANACkygiFcae2
He looked at the brunette.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAv7rQZP2KW3
'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… ’
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZDB9NEgvgK
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8uxG8ZID1F
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6xyzpQsIZd
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAAhcMSASwMc
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvp1gPlMcWR
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
127Please respect copyright.PENANASjyBf8EIp6
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5FfzoCWjkV
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsUTKIM0cnj
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHmqvTkW0OS
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6JtF1FvqqT
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8SUococilL
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAADdO81mtoC
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJIOsbiOFd8
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7cjGuZQzWT
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnSYHpTWFRE
No, he can’t say that right now.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZyRNbpaPDp
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAn4DO7Rw7eb
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANARYgW98CeqD
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANANv0rXpUyEd
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANABb2FRbgjZR
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAaKec7N3LKa
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8uonoxbYVD
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuOVuzR0OHO
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAN8RnvcH3f4
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAISyr8XbdCr
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiWfUg3BGtN
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkyTjD6EyUU
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8Th4gJwd59
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANA028YiX3Ybd
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
127Please respect copyright.PENANADBi9SfTTNE
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANALVOZlzcNNL
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
127Please respect copyright.PENANANRpcUCCSC5
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6wNyiJG5KD
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9vxsB9a24a
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZvmSYPKfKU
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUEPLexuuS4
Izuku: “How do you-”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtBjPkWCLO5
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8HfB4qc0Ax
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6l3OT0VX5
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
127Please respect copyright.PENANApoRtIg1vj6
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAD7pz1wJKeO
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgfBYpPuU2p
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAfg3f6ulr5w
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYwS8YOaPwv
He bowed to the camera and the family.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwYXJGNwB0b
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsuF3eufW3i
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
127Please respect copyright.PENANASWu5M7S5D6
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."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZDIW9qUsfa
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANACSEecdGo5D
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAdU0cFTXo8t
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAsUjyxxNIMB
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
127Please respect copyright.PENANARc5WkwCDbU
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANARK3o3mUjEZ
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sica8wl14
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHmrr1ojNMe
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?"
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5yAIAAEtvq
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.”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgw8hvUn8BG
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAm5djfFt5Rv
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiaw0kOg2bp
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANACZbrZazGw3
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.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAzgrPKCHeAy
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."
127Please respect copyright.PENANAo6t2EZhqua
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAW7C1uVOicv
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAG1r3GhBUFL
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!”
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOJcxQKyAEk
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!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAU7mqytPJER
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
127Please respect copyright.PENANAt7pzGktB1c
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgzajHeDs8d
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
