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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFh3v7YVoYD
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzPAxapIxoJ
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFupdMzLC6M
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoiHbCBNw2p
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAaTDnVk5VpL
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.]
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9eokyrfdjn
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4pE6z2yt30
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
498Please respect copyright.PENANARz6x0y6yZv
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAf8pIqH5nGv
Inko: “But she’s family.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANEkNsNxmsO
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANASkRti3NOAr
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cqq1Gpprj
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVFZM4uGRXw
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkLp2NfiA17
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAarxotwNjZg
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtAzuvh4RaG
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA06D6eAeN8J
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAt8b8fBSgKl
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjuMzhnOJSQ
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKQS3SaoW4N
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAouXVpl3cPP
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAU7mMQioTSO
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABK2VxUQSL7
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUAJgaY7X88
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwlTLuJv5Kr
Fubuki: “Good.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7qmbgc2lqm
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANXVArJf5Bg
Inko: “I have an idea.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0m38qY2k8t
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKHRTxyRadB
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcMGiBNIh05
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwGNZi4CupC
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6lzT7Tv2Q4
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAM8jA0I5tyG
Inko: “I’m glad.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3xd6LStrOS
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5cj2RSfP0F
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgTICzQ1CJ6
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAq3vhapkoG2
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtZEfkIfv2J
Izuku: “Right!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXquD823V3w
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAojK1lyYKIf
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJtTcX2j7UE
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA65AkIeLF6l
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAdMnCQOsCF
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzTL5iYeRcs
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAepHMkRE60u
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3WsjNE0NAB
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyt85eEtqvO
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
498Please respect copyright.PENANACkcNw2ePSt
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlvFmigXuJm
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAE9iI9Dk8C9
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAiKrInOlfIx
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAprjaB1Vdo4
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGhZv4qBzrV
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA60BwdbLvXp
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYdoOSzAaAA
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVaAte2HfO1
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHWJCVwRK66
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAewvJrnVXpo
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0KeiFRkJrs
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQLaMWRfuBX
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkp7jviflx2
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAe0yA5wzwDp
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEp8b7Rv25O
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?
498Please respect copyright.PENANAptywKy6bFN
Kiri: “Onii… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKEw2YGiVNv
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAfiU6soUxmL
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApSNofndox6
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwTY3mZRAw1
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJqLfKekKGz
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3jlzQzMJJp
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAytzGFCkX90
Kiri: “Who?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7jWel6eSwc
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAo7hjG6R1Bc
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGCLefd9cKs
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAciZe7HC6Yh
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyQoVGiB0kB
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOCpiwAghVA
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMpjhNh6TfF
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbfe922nRoG
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAfqAQ7KBKpW
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVoVhEVGGk3
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmioPx5vmCo
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzIayS6VKsG
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ReSbB4kr
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0WcK1ZXZcU
Silence.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlRO9wHS3el
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcG5BiWZysu
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMLG2xiaVoB
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHF36cgNKr0
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFXt6UPx7l4
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYiXDy8uUGM
Bakugo: "Shut it."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMR7CAAG094
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATLG2K6hUGh
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."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyTPlUVAATa
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAh6KeaZ9YFI
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmyfSn9GHJQ
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbiOroylQSZ
Izuku: "Probably."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAy9R0wXPyj4
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVlDrCIidDH
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXMt46IIe8B
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA12xikbtZ0D
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.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoesOiUQMiy
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABzZEyW5RCX
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAm5CBQZZjzB
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAW3aLCKHZfa
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFxNjTIwckO
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJK5xOLxpkn
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxd5AVCHdA3
"May I ask a question?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzTdupMaFEP
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANARINp0RhfwS
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeHNpA6e8d6
"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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4dR91bOkGJ
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAekUSXyonyC
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAuGmZoOkrtR
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWMjm9fuUXx
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVQU1WqG7H4
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!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGnmTRzmkeb
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2fCPB2ePM
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANANDmYFkdlSI
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvUwzrKPt2l
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!'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjitmFZgKjw
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAp9yDb3j342
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAV1pHzyibVM
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5G9MrLjMfo
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… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhrvI1HDiAi
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgQQMZk8V2A
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQV1kX0rzJc
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmbozbhsLlS
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdyuPUGn4y8
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAE6sKs3atj1
All around, he could hear murmurs.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjUjYg9zLdh
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKhXSpcDpbr
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0tHq93CYWz
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGL88bVWqP2
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7VBPIMJhn7
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAB37tKCMacg
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUX6vQyukjc
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAS9QONr3e6c
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlkhp2SginQ
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzcEeOVgz34
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANuX5HhJlAf
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUXxswOPZAd
But before anything else can happen-
498Please respect copyright.PENANApnT1NGHzul
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANASxzx7Z8zjk
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAC8UBf4LOeF
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKtBQQffApG
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzmpKYl1bD3
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3cJ40rwJkV
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABFZXPg8nt4
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7tClDIsLbd
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8q1vWY9e3H
"Target acquired. Terminate."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyxUzgmhHKH
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbo6vOhh6tf
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATGgaHaBtvv
Izuku: ‘One down.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnRmpESVcdV
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvyWfOJINqr
But he never got the chance to do anything.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAo1Zib5si0T
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
498Please respect copyright.PENANARvPbbMXg6i
Izuku: ‘Next.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANADpT5XG6czS
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXVEe2MY7AG
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANANSZHhMfIUH
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmfTDE9s1zx
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMVp4RskxN3
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANACbjDro2lE9
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoVIKEjg7NO
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAK5FbwGCnxo
Izuku: “No problem!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANApDCceNVJQc
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKDTe2kb1AG
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEKdVNoiLSG
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApr1WxDhMYT
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOqSJkcE2Q4
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9rmOlyV0Ys
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANASzIuVYB1kH
Another person spoke up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOIvyPPe2pQ
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoqMJ0kEjCI
Another picked up from where he left off.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAR3rcq7tuem
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtqt9cuzOEB
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYbWFU4MiL7
A squeakier voice continued.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1ymvwaG0q5
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtY6yQZXZGf
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzJUV1Tcdom
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA23jeZazzfm
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAOxFkDJDqy
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsgo1SCjOOV
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmNkp5tUofD
This time, there were three images.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4BeEZTevPk
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA38UeyNGgKY
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnTCf3toeXL
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ezh3sn33I
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhYOQgGIREm
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAputWXIHfUm
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQ01HyccFmR
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
498Please respect copyright.PENANANMvdZrt383
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdOVIiPr964
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAf2s9oC3PZa
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
498Please respect copyright.PENANACYiLvybe1t
One of the males replied to him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAB1c28PPuvh
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoLkTjlQ6Wq
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4W5RgV9Zuv
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdmgVxpWQbf
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHkegZ4PGlx
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATnsRNAZxN8
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcMt1Tdl5wC
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFYViUwAjZC
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVoJ1GzPBGX
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnMoIREm7n0
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAylg2yZA9pg
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEm3VSMQSLu
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABm2VdKfiER
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvymJu8rM9h
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhUYEYCbUaO
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvbHQXrCXZZ
Uraraka: “No!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9cKJXFbNi3
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABx2c4h1BnM
Uraraka: “Get away!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeXbsUAHhrj
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA07ovCQlqZD
Uraraka: “No!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANo2GktkUlk
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdk7UDj3wLl
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1vMyZT7urp
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzZyhXbWTkO
Uraraka: “Phew.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANALU9gwnnfKU
“Don’t relax just yet.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANARBso60uNMw
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnfcT7wQuQJ
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAamKyxQOx8q
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
498Please respect copyright.PENANALVeFwxzIMD
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcVNuNprpEH
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA14maxSIIcL
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3zktBTSwfm
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7zOKVb3AdM
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAo0ixcM6M8W
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Aucqxmyr
Kiri: “But… points.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANARb8knvQ38D
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQbA8bGrUq6
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYBraaRiK1T
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAd9EENI52z
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA73GBV23NhI
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACQItREIpR0
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIpKjxy257D
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAz7JNqh2FNH
“Huh?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0k5K8HOuxX
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYSwhzdXsGP
Izuku: “Fire!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhhSjqBOLzk
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApxffiXCfcm
Izuku: “Kiri!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAc0o2ZHsxMC
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAOfglbyzoJ
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtWDo3DgnNZ

498Please respect copyright.PENANAQJBoqBmb4f
Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

498Please respect copyright.PENANAl0OLhMw8nQ
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtSkCercTaK
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6mIyHRmn47
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA58VBtFjihU
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5hgF7Jiri1
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjJVkbkKziS
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyQywGskyVp
“You were like real a hero.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAt8cPECn7dn
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAs9HrpyA3e6
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeHZKiGdj9o
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAX61ezrnU4m
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6wwMLXWru2
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzNqvwEvcVU
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxdJcJIuS0J
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANApoNqqIy8tp
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7APJXymFoZ
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvAPZjNw0fh
He looked at the brunette.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5DMpFSKc6H
'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… ’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAD4wxWbbjfW
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABjvp2NjwbA
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIaI94Rilk4
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANArXIvgptKqB
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQlGhYZHdrK
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
498Please respect copyright.PENANABJKMoX1XMi
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFVfAWwvlBz
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVonsoJe6Mo
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
498Please respect copyright.PENANAt58rK9qa59
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbR6YNt5YNb
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9FEQ6jlUZb
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAL1aS7MF3cX
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vdk6Ucjjs
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAki8WhtztGt
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxVm7uuKCDE
No, he can’t say that right now.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlVk7UPosTb
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1O9IMvSU79
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbi0558CwHz
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYyakrC9FqK
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAksGgvuJOI2
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoNWJScHIRo
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3X9azJ5eUn
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnnw74DLzBm
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANARo5FAdXYuf
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABM8bQSSHNQ
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAaB54CWofxJ
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWRUPqimX1H
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADxTc9GL2Jl
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwoMCuPItOJ
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoDnYM8AyON
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVmFyfUmflJ
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2FETBjv0aM
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApOkFPQ2u2J
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAiHCiHvZVyY
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtjjgzW0zBV
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsyz0cJrDEG
Izuku: “How do you-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnjjz0zQnKo
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUskUjAnAHh
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmMNxew9rl6
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATROrp0R4cP
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANApKDrSDSID7
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA76SWunB7bA
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
498Please respect copyright.PENANARHXuXPPCYa
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
498Please respect copyright.PENANANriBCnOay3
He bowed to the camera and the family.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1kMuMgqre3
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA42pc1hoQ7M
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGDHYb0JbEY
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."
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1a2k6HUxO2
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ58YuHv76
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAb3QxLKXXMc
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAENa3X6FoMq
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHpzXaKzOJc
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgoNGZVAMhC
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAW6uCztMFOf
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAuID05jG0au
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?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAN45oQ2iePg
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.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmNLbwsJLRJ
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxSJzRm2zNy
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4YrZtBVRtN
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAT8MCZOj8cN
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.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAw3O1WQX8TT
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."
498Please respect copyright.PENANApEPcR8r0GF
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUw6Q46kyAI
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAa5ZkeEGNe3
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!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAij9pJxm8iN
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAw0jRlMHSkB
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWwu1zgunVy
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYojnliSMef
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!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANABz7giAUiM4
