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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANANkzeKwFFJm
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANACQ8ievleaY
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9x8wtw8dqx
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmm7B17eyoe
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOoOo3iLkDZ
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.]
497Please respect copyright.PENANARnXZzGnVd0
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4aJ8jY08iI
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
497Please respect copyright.PENANABt0xQyVbPy
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANACHePnblDUO
Inko: “But she’s family.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAt99p0YB7Dl
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3GFFi19d50
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2lvoI6Zrkk
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqYj74zmiHr
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7CRhNTL7hl
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4BAzH3dt8F
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYQMc9jHAlU
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
497Please respect copyright.PENANACj7RCHAjJC
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANApMarvGxNTI
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmg7AigOnz9
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAD5twTslK5i
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzvLDBPpTpb
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAd7RzB35bWk
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2K6NXcMylI
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANACKKHlX2Cvs
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZhl2Ijdz0c
Fubuki: “Good.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0fWBU3wpnw
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAiHm0rQQIzb
Inko: “I have an idea.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7oQmrqjEr6
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdv8Zvl8j2S
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAB1bnZSwd84
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAN3dSDttVPo
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4fMmFDqYDz
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAC56D0My2fb
Inko: “I’m glad.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6oZ4n3rYdT
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4onz7jq67J
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANACeBB1Nahcz
Kiri: “Nh.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAb0qETHSUwc
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9KJgkiDfcz
Izuku: “Right!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYmLveJVyz0
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAf9DolKmvuR
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANASjJbPrNeq5
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAyfNlcEpt9H
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAPOizuGtyTs
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYE6HFGhXq9
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbyLpcyCp2R
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAg18MNnNsiu
Kiri: “Nh.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdO1EkhXWTq
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfkP7iLWGfz
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1IEqs3XCvk
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZdbg9CQGcd
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA550XGPVAe4
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
497Please respect copyright.PENANATwmOab4gzj
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANArKEjdV0OPw
Kiri: “Nh!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAykxElEtDS4
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANANW5rMMUi9O
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAWoUwdyJjiY
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJM4hw8fn1q
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAeRbqcRnbP2
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAszmJ687BKC
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAvNKFMV77Dw
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAIS84ck6anh
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOyEZYsd8Nv
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEKIskPBvx7
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?
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhHsa6kd1MA
Kiri: “Onii… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAr5uC7TKlfm
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAXzNajUKHq
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANApvJoV9H3Es
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
497Please respect copyright.PENANAIj1uPWY1cX
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAwDhCEy4W4T
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUS9kEOIpYX
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAzMg4Zy77E6
Kiri: “Who?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4P4QZUEktI
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1ytyOjiLbe
Kiri: “Nh.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5EZg4UWn6l
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdc8ehmkCDK
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6891Ym0TA
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcOEzX0VECT
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANALfIPSioOtd
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmyxnh4wfFI
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3qcR56J9AQ
Kiri: “Nh.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqC4S8jUMEc
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANARiUC586vQE
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ13IPHDde
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVvRBiUzgIj
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdZuNiP1Pux
Silence.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9NIl0lh6mN
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAeeSfl4AFpg
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAkXUWyw2uhK
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5M25RlfIzp
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAp1pau3ONun
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQeWJFbMXcQ
Bakugo: "Shut it."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJWax7LRgzt
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9BO371T5sP
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."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVRcy6mEKCY
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAjHib8zrGaX
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8E3WeTQ7BR
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOdW8cOAs0Y
Izuku: "Probably."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGbxDhgm5Zg
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA16CVpfzug9
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMHMn6YUaz6
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6iCvkJtVUh
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.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0vSnk5H288
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ1A3EY3hF
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUwJobUxXv5
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAaOwBhcVpD6
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGYqPmbQRHu
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANABneRztR9LZ
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAWuQBLqSVxy
"May I ask a question?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbfLexg64jz
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3lSZnrVRTI
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAeByR3utQdn
"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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4PFU0Vr80F
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZH9HPnFBdV
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtAWpHDsFFW
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7OYKD37NqQ
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3aL2zQTyec
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!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtSdvM4zO49
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUaPF8JBI14
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAk7tZMuH7hL
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfms0XlHde8
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!'
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5EfLX09l6L
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmAcfWoTbhp
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJxqZa0ojEu
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAhlrc2ZJMMt
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… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAPViq0J7PoD
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6yAa8VJr5e
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9FLrkHQuC
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
497Please respect copyright.PENANADTyvJ1rBzG
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMFnsEDTdm7
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKuwCWcBIDJ
All around, he could hear murmurs.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAkTUZFeMR9B
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZrGi80aeNM
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANACbS1BuerVu
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAw8AJeNdpRT
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXJSFPOxR5h
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAA6DViYDGk3
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOWNiSMAwwE
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
497Please respect copyright.PENANAvhrzGxxqie
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAShBa9kBvMP
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbSDZKUu21b
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAI5HyYnQpvv
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4QfxgqzFJO
But before anything else can happen-
497Please respect copyright.PENANAWhLbyrTkTx
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAckec0cvLV7
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAd5vFg53eaX
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAymGc3CNL7m
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAH6CmpqfNAz
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHepqlYbXyW
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5VbyRTzDrc
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXzFh3cldQu
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQEbiPlETWv
"Target acquired. Terminate."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAT7LFSLFyhA
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAIieyeZr0Uq
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9dwHoP9Vh1
Izuku: ‘One down.’
497Please respect copyright.PENANAFDe1P7A7cn
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbgLgeBwPgE
But he never got the chance to do anything.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1ckBbSPGGp
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAgTxQlAlrX4
Izuku: ‘Next.’
497Please respect copyright.PENANASXqWdwZXJo
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANASnX3NRd6gO
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZRqReCDM5
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANADcnbDdSpVV
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAazS4bXnBfv
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAem1vdUH2Z0
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUCJM8PHnk4
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
497Please respect copyright.PENANABnlZW2N3OD
Izuku: “No problem!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuPuJIwMUCJ
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEEBs7h14Ib
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3vHEK7k150
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxzUhrWwPZK
497Please respect copyright.PENANARiNkkqb3Sb
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAW6JJF6sA6d
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAfhvVm7r5s
Another person spoke up.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfeqvTj4Vnd
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
497Please respect copyright.PENANABQiDm87CYk
Another picked up from where he left off.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA6YYkYm7TkV
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdDqB49Oemr
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
497Please respect copyright.PENANANZpb8iXueG
A squeakier voice continued.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAEOzUtAbGnE
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZMvEiyKpPx
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAuLmd3k4dW7
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ8ObwDqDj
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMiJiEclC9K
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
497Please respect copyright.PENANARnNqBswuas
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAir9Pp3DXIn
This time, there were three images.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUQMScviYla
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcZZWkbwmct
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
497Please respect copyright.PENANALrkqm1Ano3
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAnKCXA5k8mw
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ROPOvg7c
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAnADegsERyy
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQsitbEdU4y
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
497Please respect copyright.PENANADwIKnoZJaq
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAWhZyJrKllJ
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYbISqUSHrc
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAlvQPqzrHbq
One of the males replied to him.
497Please respect copyright.PENANApz2Ew3WimI
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAAz9Okg3jkp
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAyJcKz2gYbf
497Please respect copyright.PENANA3tzzssV1gg
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA13fKf91qUK
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVhoHADZbdO
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4MMVqRMz4U
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAkFtvumbomb
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmiKu5RcQ5D
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA81b5GgJk4f
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHfzx8FVpRx
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAb2YdoqMUd3
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJa5dJteg7L
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9oJTluFFQ8
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8YX2Tdw64d
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAshHaXSIm1a
Uraraka: “No!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAaukNVnGV5A
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAkytmNm9kzN
Uraraka: “Get away!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAvx8bOnUCrT
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANADQVUaOqhIG
Uraraka: “No!!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAaM561dkUgC
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAnyUKMonBfa
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA2h9gQvtvu7
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdSWfWNFn3k
Uraraka: “Phew.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5nKo9mOBqn
“Don’t relax just yet.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGUSpVF5uK4
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAIPi6tIgmoK
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxPrT22bf5Q
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAvzgbrgfgfY
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGpd3O7ACRJ
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAmzIMEW4XVK
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAYYG09UQpyu
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAcAgLcpajAn
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAiQOs1hau5H
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxk6LHchnbf
Kiri: “But… points.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAjQug7tr32t
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbkLOwXqLih
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQAmXeA7Syr
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAfmUjNaNBYh
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
497Please respect copyright.PENANALa126eX96B
Kiri: “Nh!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA97wkfXoMtZ
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAallDVxHBrf
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAN9DWjvLWzR
“Huh?”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAk67m4WYuIe
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA62zgSMLtx3
Izuku: “Fire!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXYS3EhKkls
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANApmex7md6h0
Izuku: “Kiri!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANARR0CoU2LqZ
Kiri: “Nh!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQnqdR6VZOY
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQxWFPCd90P

497Please respect copyright.PENANAkl1xzF9Gkj
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7eDYSbXJnp
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUqsLfuqBG3
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAD8lc8NVEvt
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAPwyQlIonVY
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAieGfLWjhGM
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsuudYqbJKe
“You were like real a hero.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANARwWPuTQevk
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1rlyjkY7qe
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxQJKAbcY32
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsjLe60NIv9
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsEBBvWote7
497Please respect copyright.PENANA7CSQpx3rRb
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAc6qVw2zl9U
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAbv0VFHUbqn
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4IwbcH5oEa
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQwNdH1kf9c
He looked at the brunette.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxX1avrjWBu
'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… ’
497Please respect copyright.PENANAerJHR1IKys
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA53DFpQwHRu
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
497Please respect copyright.PENANARArQroNU7j
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAvBB445Itvf
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
497Please respect copyright.PENANAsFuIFtnWWO
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5JtHzTKnH0
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxb71wFob3c
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAFJdWjrE7tD
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
497Please respect copyright.PENANAtVCPja8Vmd
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANASQkVAypYkk
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4ywowC1PBg
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAPdLqtIda8b
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
497Please respect copyright.PENANACQ6g1l1WXc
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAolP167SRbB
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAOyudDsvYYA
No, he can’t say that right now.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXe7CLUqJAA
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4TAVqSHiQp
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8rsNqjSJ7X
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqWhTPNc4bv
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA4lGzoqqZ4Q
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZm9mIH6TD0
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAMSx3nkpj1i
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAf7SsmEcVCb
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAF9cyGC2GLl
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAncGsQToYEw
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAowsO4ZgU4l
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Tscg8TZL
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8JBBFl3RLv
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHtNEa8sJtH
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
497Please respect copyright.PENANADUJdMGYFhI
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANADlqhvEDDI7
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAoboDx9zZqi
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA0RTr56JFuD
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANANbx6Ha58qC
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQfIkLdEJsa
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAVTEmNSOExT
Izuku: “How do you-”
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxHPjLlJk7k
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA20G3oX64se
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAxkbDFOF36T
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6WDA1dJlS
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAHi9nJqDzlP
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAm1b0qcyXO2
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
497Please respect copyright.PENANALWjEQjNWfJ
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAloBYQUfXWO
He bowed to the camera and the family.
497Please respect copyright.PENANA1JUmJlzjLP
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA5kInTiItzk
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAB2N1p8BwEm
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."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAghcYZoFItt
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAKKpagKkpFJ
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
497Please respect copyright.PENANATnfjPZP4Kf
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANADOy1F26FSA
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAGlgm5H23hu
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA89iriP365i
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAQA8QrikiqX
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAdf1NlQhm1l
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?"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAA09uVvaw6k
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.”
497Please respect copyright.PENANASuBHo8BHlK
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAyNyjkxOosF
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAz0tU1La6e3
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAkdgoUk50ny
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.
497Please respect copyright.PENANANeGUTRxHVl
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."
497Please respect copyright.PENANAXC88rOeu9R
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
497Please respect copyright.PENANATHzBfC3eFJ
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAqSzqnHVtKv
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!”
497Please respect copyright.PENANA8nB6atlmn6
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!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5WumAVEQA
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
497Please respect copyright.PENANAk77SV3GQxV
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANA9AmoHhGFBt
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.

All Might: "You both pass!"
497Please respect copyright.PENANAUOPOZ01gvY
