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.PENANAXw7DZ4AW76
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.PENANAJ6jatPh1AK
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.PENANAca24RFpnyZ
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.PENANA7CX8pknGXu
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.PENANAphKi5ftxi7
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.PENANAus7uQDojOK
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.PENANAB9C62jH3cR
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
498Please respect copyright.PENANABHms2QcaEx
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAz5pWUX7QTo
Inko: “But she’s family.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAN0IPDqsGhN
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6ew9Tbspn2
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANArWqC6peKWG
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQCGhsxe3MV
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANADNjCppUkFd
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.PENANAW5gxXRj7UZ
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.PENANA5jWR1QjqIe
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWzydxfwI62
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkHqApB9M9l
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFlYOH7MYcw
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAalkPPbMeaX
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ2y0Bpofa
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIMuj7l6h7j
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWd1aBDF9vk
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXbOk66y2pe
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5AV9A3vbvA
Fubuki: “Good.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9vxf30OZYn
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjrlTPRgvtM
Inko: “I have an idea.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0s9WJ36TE7
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATP5ibBCnyw
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZVweNGr5aj
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACRaXvAo4OQ
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5C9CXSoNea
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAOxowyABNwp
Inko: “I’m glad.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANASqAvtonZ9g
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANArIIQhcspMf
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAaS39SAb8sN
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACx93kOFKxV
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAq76bxj5oav
Izuku: “Right!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcKU0X3RKFd
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.PENANAmBDeGMEYD4
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHbhSJn0s1M
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXg5xlQQMIF
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA17vX4JoNtT
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5nXBZ3lTzl
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0i4Vdc4zqs
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhGGxSZ1eBE
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANATNPoUo6Vkd
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAL3AdPz5YWH
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUhJ7XLK2x6
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKk9jMN9wEP
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.PENANA5JXsFEGTcT
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQn3f6D3zP9
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8CbIdbJech
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1TyvQSTyFX
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6WGOgiA2iz
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.PENANAxWJCUyonMo
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2mCQxmnABC
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdc7d3Y2a0R
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjg4zQivGQV
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAUm0YaeRcFR
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAypGzLBgJxu
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAM5TFGP4SFd
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.PENANAXy4EbbXvT8
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.PENANAfzwUOSWYnA
Kiri: “Onii… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4uuFnCON8
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVoAzk2OTm4
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.PENANAzuN3KKArIn
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbYrpwUmwco
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.PENANA27eCDjpQ51
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.PENANAxa7wHFMNIR
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsuL4itWYoI
Kiri: “Who?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEQsIIlkJcI
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.PENANAiIyl2lPKtJ
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAfw7DlugcoH
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANv9jsK56me
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANARdHZ75Bxmi
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcpfYQBiWFu
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKkByQJkXZs
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnEZsmnDSS1
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAf4ePReN2i4
Kiri: “Nh.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxYNpwIX2eU
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.PENANAicY9j3Bif6
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAt2qixseqKh
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.PENANAbbeWVrwRbT
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1s2E6JlpQ1
Silence.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgekbS7N8vN
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYsN1usaS0k
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.PENANA1NMfoiJavq
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4h02Ov1BD
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.PENANAhnq15Q5LFI
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAnstHzBnQoa
Bakugo: "Shut it."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMsYnDEduCQ
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.PENANAn6MXkXX1ke
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.PENANAX7WOfkk3Y1
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
498Please respect copyright.PENANADxnvzBATIA
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAqNa71TRpHw
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWBTslRvlQq
Izuku: "Probably."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAG2M1Ueb2hx
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAaYVT0t5bnK
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAR4z625uYDi
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeAUEbmmT4H
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.PENANAFiyw6DPsUc
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4gWqhKf6I3
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4FVCj5o8Tv
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.PENANAvHBOrfGmNU
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzpD60vi8yN
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoMGX6xvhSv
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANApkywgqg7Pw
"May I ask a question?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIo3TFBqyRT
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.PENANAT7IwO7u6lD
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.PENANA09rGzLudQL
"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.PENANA53e3kM8rF4
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwqkDzjfvBv
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4ILyQJwWZ6
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.PENANAvgInEI3F4i
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.PENANAb9J5k5Zq51
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.PENANAE8D7coXiZl
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4GEFxg23mc
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.PENANAMlvMihEVti
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.PENANAobxmjjV6hu
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.PENANA65NgqFQMt4
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0ErbyXml8P
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.PENANA5HCDjiTdPg
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVcQypeVutI
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.PENANAJ05882YQzm
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJaDfdcnCBk
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwGCQGzZ2n1
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMWRL1yFcsG
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFIyul89Iiv
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.PENANAQq3Uzg9Bif
All around, he could hear murmurs.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwfsdlYI7DT
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAklRBmgc6VN
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdTS8kjgv8Z
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsOmiZn46y6
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcP7VjFfmUp
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeUZ0Kt7M8g
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGNuAEKMrDn
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.PENANAQwxLz8UOED
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAF1ZcursnrX
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2dypy8xzs3
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5GNYzIXGdT
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.PENANAj0S3xAVoRd
But before anything else can happen-
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjlaBB8qRUO
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvxpql43Vm9
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEyyqeoJKZ8
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7p3KZgjtdN
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAm7l2mTnPR
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdYTldRqFpq
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.PENANAqNx2F1SpkQ
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.PENANArd44jUMqo0
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.PENANAKojwe9OUKi
"Target acquired. Terminate."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWd4we0cz6c
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAryEzFvJRqu
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.PENANAruVPV1XeOI
Izuku: ‘One down.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAdYNMlQqbn
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.PENANAIje4FLDJXW
But he never got the chance to do anything.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAocFazrEm3t
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8URmtg7co
Izuku: ‘Next.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjI3lL7jGFG
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.PENANAVYjDtxacZA
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.PENANAH8or9yza2i
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.PENANA2S89HZedYa
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.PENANAU687wK2mCT
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAa5VCghyYr
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.PENANAICujUh2eWK
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
498Please respect copyright.PENANAE3IOO0fuwt
Izuku: “No problem!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFVjsI0RMQ0
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0YCB7AVNx6
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAmXZUFeG3K5
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2FN3uRWPCW
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1hyL4UjTBb
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.PENANAnQfzs7GP7i
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0cPXgpLKBm
Another person spoke up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbtz4Zfazv2
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAgguwfm2IZI
Another picked up from where he left off.
498Please respect copyright.PENANANYSSthFOIW
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAtXSaBAftd0
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkMCKrDEGRG
A squeakier voice continued.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAnIUmdeyhN
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANACsCaX6jgs2
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4xNLqJlCm
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANANYxCgmVeZY
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMCfnn5TuCx
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdhW5FibHYg
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKTBLQEV77V
This time, there were three images.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHALpZTEtmh
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Obj9KY9V
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7E6m5kw4O
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.

The squeaky voice said.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAodZN8BZ6Z
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
498Please respect copyright.PENANACcpqLv03VL
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAf04xEgRUg1
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7mFMkj2G1j
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.PENANAFx9d99pMoR
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.PENANAd2ojQd4kMf
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbqClYgQrGs
One of the males replied to him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6vYGPQnWxE
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAAOd0qgHFOD
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.PENANAdU3ywm7sJx
498Please respect copyright.PENANAs0w6UKSXPC
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.PENANAbZBFrE85xx
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.PENANAMzq6aUt06B
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.PENANADUV8KkSlMJ
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.PENANALTHKfS4OMJ
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxL9HO1cbtd
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.PENANAoL2MesKLpo
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAWen1hyzbLg
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.PENANAde3sE1V1Pd
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAj5PgHqB3fE
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
498Please respect copyright.PENANANGlg1IlpIj
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.PENANAkc6SysGvD0
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
498Please respect copyright.PENANADnn3GtPL2c
Uraraka: “No!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIqm2s5jUrD
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.PENANAgVUKXuzxdZ
Uraraka: “Get away!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANASO1tpKHwxp
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.PENANA6ca5OwhDO7
Uraraka: “No!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAu0Fhnkr1OL
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAEcxY37qD87
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbb8X1umjCt
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.PENANAlUPoBdMIsf
Uraraka: “Phew.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkI9kXZmO1D
“Don’t relax just yet.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANATE63nU8zfA
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAA4p205q8iy
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYvS9fuj1WD
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAeZkf2BdV0q
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAI12rql8IBi
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAed5g9uEiVU
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6VVikrxM9o
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoCJstE0TlC
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACTkLZr6mFz
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGaNYD3eiqo
Kiri: “But… points.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhFOZtkKzGz
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMDmkmIJgsd
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIXRuiD8mUX
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACx4a0B8eBe
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAqObct4JtTO
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXKeBZuE35q
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANACJLZBU9zbn
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
498Please respect copyright.PENANApZLeXbgK43
“Huh?”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAd1pJGJKOm1
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyZrJsRqEcH
Izuku: “Fire!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAo3xi7L16YA
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.PENANAlXyOLccjxE
Izuku: “Kiri!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAG0oezIsMo2
Kiri: “Nh!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4wXBBkxUx8
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.PENANA5ufRxWwzsG

Kiri surges power to her right arm and hand.

498Please respect copyright.PENANAXNTye65nzN
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANApmqUqqpTpi
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.PENANAuuNeVJvvN2
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.PENANAgXpnjPn6mA
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAqHWH3jzeBK
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAh6L1YTPVGZ
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAj3PyuTKjmB
“You were like real a hero.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsZHFM50eau
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
498Please respect copyright.PENANArZs9gY37Yl
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
498Please respect copyright.PENANAERIFQ99dXd
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAcRhfiaOWYw
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABJpbkIalTz
498Please respect copyright.PENANAyK4O4KCDDm
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.PENANAmCkLB8e8Ng
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0sHL383Egh
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGoYQsd4eKJ
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXlftlTtQ2c
He looked at the brunette.
498Please respect copyright.PENANATiy7uTqzZA
'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.PENANAQinIfLF13z
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAet8Pzako2w
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
498Please respect copyright.PENANASJnIrEZFhx
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.PENANATrHxXhxp4z
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
498Please respect copyright.PENANAkSQWfcv1Jz
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
498Please respect copyright.PENANAxFr5CVAUYq
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIa50JqKKd3
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ87fMsSoe
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXBFswCIoFK
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gxw668MqC
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFH8aYq7lt3
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIdgTOVE4Zh
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAIUYLpTHIWM
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA46S4slZ4Si
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAfIGNzjKScI
No, he can’t say that right now.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAc3P0iTCZzB
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAbvN2I2G5rx
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA7ka8SNITd7
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANApLoMedqJah
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAYDAlzCcP0C
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0hBy5QNcu6
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANANaHcRZXzhT
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAn72qRUmde0
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.PENANAXnej9AuD3b
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
498Please respect copyright.PENANABCYKvBWKsQ
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAjFtT9MqAY2
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAP1IJvOgHSr
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4YvpY5vIif
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKGtuoPO0ug
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAchvB3lF0lG
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAlwDU1U9Xlz
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA25CFA8oGE8
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
498Please respect copyright.PENANACIUBZVHCK9
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKeKOKuAULV
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAQakgKE5Xhu
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2GCPcwmRTO
Izuku: “How do you-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAv5w1EzIWjb
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
498Please respect copyright.PENANAT9s9jJsCsx
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Kx5q93KY
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
498Please respect copyright.PENANA5BbvF62rgF
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoFurbQs83U
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8gC1ZoXPog
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoIyzk2CF1P
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
498Please respect copyright.PENANABDvdlryuT3
He bowed to the camera and the family.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAzmkvFXlj2V
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.PENANAr5uvvBPUHH
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAZfZtcEef4d
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.PENANAe4UxNdBnoB
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.PENANA9rXB4sqqWP
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
498Please respect copyright.PENANA50GRIadDjp
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANATNGdV2B30d
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoIveICaeOZ
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAGHRhtSkNc1
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAJUytwpj53b
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAHiJOiQ4Uot
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.PENANA0rItl8zrpb
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.PENANAvGcPecfzWc
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.PENANAC7V4u2rtB8
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAoUrueANAF0
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANA8BxRrsi2Tg
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.PENANAk3JQmU9k2j
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.PENANABmfqvLVHmb
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAsLFeXRz5hz
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.PENANAu0XPcoPoa6
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.PENANAxyjeB4tpQH
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.PENANAcpLD1NyXui
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAk6Fft8IMmk
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
498Please respect copyright.PENANAFGXbM5xFKz
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!"
