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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAuyd69bpNXG
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVsd403HH3S
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8zOnnvyA4J
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANACc06mwf8HC
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9jdScgZi10
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.]
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjx8ZHJNQe7
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAofMUBFrfB6
The whole family was at home to wish Izuku good luck and help give Valkyrie a name.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAdyDDLBZYkd
Fubuki: “I still don’t think we should give her our last name, Midoriya, mom.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANANZ6mSrlWk6
Inko: “But she’s family.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANALLsH5CGFai
Fubuki: “It will draw too much attention. Even if she’s adopted, we don’t have paperwork to prove it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcfVbSDGOKk
Tatsumaki: “Just have All Might and Nezu deal with it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Xvt6rhnL
Fubuki: “We shouldn’t bother them for everything.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAdBbgeFmWzv
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, they’re the ones that suggested it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAO1OxBDRYzm
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAH8wbjjyQaz
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAEvWVmRuG7a
For some reason, they seemed so distressed when they learned her master was her brother. Strange.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMluadKekBa
Izuku: “Um, girls, we might be late.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAdWKBmHrVKv
The three looked at Izuku, then at each other, then sighed.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA6QWOdJhikg
Tatsumaki: “Let’s give her a temporary last name. We’ll call her Midoriya at home.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAfHhTnjR26Z
Fubuki: “… Fine.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQzc22qP7Cx
Inko: “Don’t worry, sweetie; we’ll get all the paperwork sorted out eventually.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaViI6oI1s4
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAId1UDJtRjV
Fubuki: “That means you can’t mention that you’re Izu’s… little sister. Just a friend for now. Okay?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkjM4Rqs28C
Valkyrie: “Oooookay.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZmPj78zhG3
Fubuki: “Good.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA82phjRYHr2
Tatsumaki: “With that done, what would her first name be?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkQyj7Fcnmw
Inko: “I have an idea.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjF2MBr16FR
Inko kneels in front of Valkyrie and smiles.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVgxnGDPoVo
Inko: “How about this for your full name-”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3RA4ElLQEt
Inko: “Kiri Tae Midoriya.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAoNpQwHmKRv
The youngest Midoriya widened her eyes before nodding.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJljekEsuFA
Kiri: “Yes…I love it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkcZMRRHgKU
Inko: “I’m glad.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANASazqVAt7Hj
Tatsumaki: “So Tae will be her last name at school? At least it’s easy to remember.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAnK4N2R58m7
Izuku: “Kiri… I like it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAI8yMauOc6j
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzXlV0uZfUT
Fubuki: “Okay, you two better hurry. Don’t want to be late.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlVLMHEcYCc
Izuku: “Right!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlLO5ZeUVaP
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ5mSoK5ln
Inko: “Good luck, you two!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANARP4g8U5bIi
Fubuki: “Mom, you’re crying again.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7TTQ8Y3ugt
Inko: “I can’t help it… I’m so proud.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1ZXKHTEJj
Tatsumaki: “I’m expecting top scores from both of you!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8gz8Iy52b5
Fubuki: “Just do your best, Izu!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANABQDYa88EoW
Izuku: “We won’t let you down.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANApe8xYpHxjn
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA4kRVutmKip
After a final farewell wave, they were off.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8QIywNt1Bn
124Please respect copyright.PENANA5P8srzzr40
Izuku: "Whoooaaa…"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAqCsnZgVRHq
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAmJrBX9X1SJ
Some of the more egotistical students probably figured they were getting the royal welcome.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAl96NYO6G4Z
Izuku: “Ready, Kiri?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAk9lulMm5r8
Kiri: “Nh!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAN4GmWoOCea
Bakugo: "Move aside!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYYYP9xnUIf
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANArftt5IqvzY
But things were different now. He was much stronger, and more than that, he wasn’t alone.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcb5gAkDExE
Kiri got in front of Izuku and glared at Bakugo.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhXq4LFxXse
Bakugo: “Who are you!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA83JEN2eCtQ
Kiri: “He’s my… friend.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbJjMPkb6nA
Bakugo: “Tch, you need a little girl to defend you now, Deku?!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVLIUIADDP2
Izuku: “Friends protect each other, Kacchan. Didn’t you do the same when that villain attacked me?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAfVfLR9bELX
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJPHxBm0jCz
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?
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhb38nBufm1
Kiri: “Onii… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAupITwmIizE
Izuku: “I’m fine; I won’t let this get me down. Let’s go!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAXHpZY0TJbm
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaKqk80kvLH
Izuku: ‘Oh.’
124Please respect copyright.PENANArTxC4XPCeK
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA2OgkSKCdJO
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJvl2HoqLiT
Izuku was going to right himself with his own abilities, but Kiri helped him out of the air.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAg5LncJQxRG
Kiri: “Who?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUnrV7LW5dp
Uraraka: “Oh, my name is Ochaco Uraraka. Sorry if I got in the way of helping your boyfriend; I just acted on instinct.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANABNZhLb1rlu
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVNJABx09yg
Izuku: “W-Wait, she’s not my-”
124Please respect copyright.PENANADpZ14e0rvk
Uraraka: “It was nice meeting you two; good luck! Later!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAEZnascC4Ga
And just like that, the nice girl was gone.
124Please respect copyright.PENANANwx4JLq3De
Izuku: “K-Kiri, why didn’t you correct her?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANALFzOl92dQm
Kiri: “Um? You’re a boy… and my friend.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcIPlbTBVkG
Izuku: “That’s not… never mind. Let’s hurry, we can’t be late.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANATlIvgZQ34D
Kiri: “Nh.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA18tH1xe7sg
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAXZgRFh1JxB
Roughly ten minutes later, the pair found themselves beside Katsuki in a giant auditorium. Much to Kiri’s displeasure.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAl3duHpIYSh
The energy and tension in the room were palpable. It almost felt like a physical force. And then their proctor showed up.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJuTAmEZ0B1
Present Mic: "For every one of you little listeners, welcome to my show! EVERYBODY SAY 'HEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFKFA6G7ToY
Silence.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbIBrKy2b9x
He shrugged, a massive grin still on his face.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMxbNDjulku
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAB3t3CnE6rQ
Again, he was the only one who shouted. Everyone was just too nervous or fanboying like Izuku.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAh7gDR9Bhne
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAmLRCSSizIT
Kiri couldn’t help but glow at her brother’s enthusiasm for heroes.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAPdH7OXZOoO
Bakugo: "Shut it."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIWwnwTqfQj
And nearly growl at Bakugo’s dismissive attitude. But she will keep things civil as long as the boy doesn’t attack her brother.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA0qvtYa45Hb
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."
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1qB5KSPBcS
Izuku: "Consecutive IDs are all assigned to different locations."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAeEEOhJETxh
Izuku mumbled after taking a peek at Bakugo and Kiri’s sheets.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8GPyHhGpSy
Bakugo: "That's so people from the same school can't just form a group and slay the exam together, huh?"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWrEpj1ndv3
Izuku: "Probably."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUKLyHVn8tK
That’s when Izuku felt a spike of anxiety coming from Kiri.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAK0tdGfL0He
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Kiri. We’re not from the same school, so we’re probably going in together. I hope.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjD9xUBFdSa
That didn’t help to ease her worries much.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxSNokp27wK
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.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAS9v3T81XrL
Kiri: “Nh, thank… you.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcnb2fSLKGq
Bakugo: “Ugh, why do I have to hear this?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMOuhs6ApFU
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIV4AoLdOBl
He grinned and waved a finger at them, as if chiding a disobedient child.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAqT65dX78Pe
Present Mic: "And of course, playing a naughty antihero is strictly forbidden. No attacking fellow examinees, or else!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAAqfEd1V0Qy
Bakugo: "My kind of test!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYSUUSZoIoV
"May I ask a question?"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAunAeVftj5b
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAm8nZhc2W9r
He had blue-tinted black hair, combed perfectly, and square-rimmed glasses. He raised his provided sheet of paper and pointed to it.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAS79tCbBOE4
"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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZVPuzUoltM
Present Mic: "Okay! Good catch, Examinee 7111!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANA6CK2fc4vRP
He then surprised them by letting out a very… sinister-sounding chuckle.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1dDv3XRIk4
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAqgxIyOUvIX
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7wKttGLmSF
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!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAT0IH8hoeKH
Present Mic: “Break a leg, everyone!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3xEFlIxyAo
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxFCcwvlvV6
Despite all the training, he couldn't help but feel some of the anxiety he'd been trying to hold back set in.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlqvkNcYXzd
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!'
124Please respect copyright.PENANAF1jA4R6hVK
A light sheen of sweat had started building on his forehead, and he wiped it away.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcoR50RGhV1
Izuku: 'We have no idea how many villains there are. What if I'm too slow and they all get taken out quickly?'
124Please respect copyright.PENANAU9QGKP359r
Looking around in an effort to calm his nerves, he saw a familiar sight.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAwT3ojvCZwT
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… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMPNiqtIAPL
But before he could, someone grabbed his shoulder.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAr7Ot2s2QNu
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAeYfsXQYLJr
The intense guy from earlier glared at him.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA634eIeWiJb
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation. Are you hoping to interfere and throw her off her game?"
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8TqASoiFsD
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZmXNYgPTZ9
All around, he could hear murmurs.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGx1VLNfQF7
"That guy tripped over his own feet at the gate earlier. What a joke. Oh well, one less rival, right?"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7csj5UI6j
“How did such a loser land that white-haired cutie?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAO6mLNcGmrv
“And he has the nerve to try and chat up another?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOEndy4uOjT
“Well, he shouldn’t mind if I shoot my shot with his girl, right?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFgNVRHi4Gm
Before Izuku gave in to either depression or righteous anger, he felt his negative emotions fade away.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vjaql9IlY
Izuku: ‘Kiri…’
124Please respect copyright.PENANAA8tpHxLyYY
Izuku: ‘I… can’t let their words stop me. I have to be more confident for my family. No more backing down.’
124Please respect copyright.PENANAHoM8RloS1c
Izuku: “Or maybe I met her earlier and wanted to try and help. Did you ever think of that?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7FeMQPQpKX
The guy reared back, but Izuku wasn’t done.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA31hE6htWac
Izuku: “And everyone else who was eyeing Kiri, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbYwzpKY2W1
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANARhPmnTt0CU
But before anything else can happen-
124Please respect copyright.PENANA5hMcXLyfrB
Present Mic: "AAAAAAAND START!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxlzRPfeUs9
The exam started. However, everyone froze, question marks appearing over their heads. They were still stunned by Izuku’s outburst.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhPTrO6hoGG
Present Mic: "What are you waiting for, an invitation? The test has started! Run! RUN!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAuEFV2tSJ2Z
Izuku was the first to burst forward, emerald energy engulfing his body.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAHOerhjGoyZ
Izuku: ‘I won’t lose! Not here! I won’t disappoint All Might or my family!’
124Please respect copyright.PENANAnqBGNAgLsE
Seeing this, the rest of the group took off. But only one could keep up with Izuku, the intense guy from before.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcEpRiXYqnX
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAs8mlCJAkGw
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUMqHtsw95N
"Target acquired. Terminate."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAgDJsWxSnWs
It aimed its arm, which started spinning ominously.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcOfEj2MdUi
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAg5udzE6iMD
Izuku: ‘One down.’
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcO2iExeTvv
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAg0tKWwzeYn
But he never got the chance to do anything.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAazJ8WZI6Is
Izuku teleported appeared above the bot and sent a force blast directly downward, pulverizing it and the ground below.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkIgnk7GXyY
Izuku: ‘Next.’
124Please respect copyright.PENANAKuE6dlCiTg
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAmr5SvBTyWj
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbULeh1U2w4
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANACA2L8s7LOK
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAmXGiVABt5b
"S-sorry for making fun of you and your girlfriend earlier! You're a real hero! Thanks!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjjS2LzcHCQ
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzS8K9VWdIA
Izuku: ‘He called me… a real hero.’
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3clTzw4iLa
Izuku: “No problem!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANABmQx1MaE9U
He flew up again and searched for more people to save. This was what he had always dreamed of!
124Please respect copyright.PENANAO3kCPpkByV
Izuku: "I'm doing it! I’m being a hero!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVSIkHFVWv2
He yelled in utter glee, trying to keep from crying in joy.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA83mnguiciO
124Please respect copyright.PENANAnlT20Sl3Hk
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAr6VUiwUcJ7
All Might: 'That's the way, kid.'
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7AvZzEC5C6
Another person spoke up.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAa75nd0NP6w
"Such a wide battlefield and the time limit bring out the best in them."
124Please respect copyright.PENANA0zaKS1y3Ir
Another picked up from where he left off.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAs8BojA9dom
"Those who can assess a situation in moments: Information Gatherers."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaMY1DoZHUW
An image of a punk rock girl with earplug ears jacking into the ground.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAahf7BumP62
A squeakier voice continued.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA5UB07GPXpW
"Those who will never be late to the party: Mobility Experts!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANA6MVoAQK3ey
A video of the intense boy with glasses crashing through a three-pointer with a kick appeared.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAptDfrqCY8Q
"Those who can cope with any situation: Decision Makers!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAmRNChANwWy
An image of a beautiful woman who is creating various items from her body.
124Please respect copyright.PENANATL9wo3f4zX
A female voice piped up, sounding very… throaty.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbBGKXGmMoQ
"And of course… combat experts. The natural-born warriors."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAucAOkXq0WM
This time, there were three images.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQFy9cqHtFF
An explosion engulfed one screen before clearing, revealing Katsuki Bakugo standing amongst the shredded husks of half a dozen enemy bots.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMX2zYQ59HD
The next screen showed Izuku, cutting through a bot squadron like a Shinigami was possessing him.
124Please respect copyright.PENANABI55JzxGLz
Finally, the last screen shows Kiri tearing through several bots with a blank expression.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAwsSXFXsn04
"The abilities needed to preserve peace in our cities are judged by the points they earn."

The squeaky voice said.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzqrfn37XcN
"Quite a crop we have this year, huh?"
124Please respect copyright.PENANA2xD6bnLlLF
The female said, followed the sound of her licking her lips.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbBxgvpGMzX
All Might: "No way to tell yet. This should tell us more…"
124Please respect copyright.PENANARYFAv3BApi
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANARhLCvJtm0v
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANATNPkCOcPHa
"People show their true colors when they face that thing."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlAsJWHACtQ
One of the males replied to him.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAV1gqqf1FrU
All Might’s grin hadn't vanished from watching his pupil, and likely wouldn't for several hours too.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yp0e1YGIX
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYhStNE5HLV
124Please respect copyright.PENANACza7q5t3AN
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzg3DhweFKW
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMdhqTfws95
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAti4VYr80NM
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAdzQSwmeoER
Izuku: 'Have to avoid that thing and keep earning points.'
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkamh5t7UEu
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1q92Xrrqyz
Uraraka: “It's a bad omen to fall on a day like this, you know!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGJzmHCQ6tr
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANANOSPrSWI4Y
The villain stopped before her and reached for her body.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAoiw3hQ8wrf
Izuku didn't think. A second ago, he was over a hundred meters away, but now he was directly beside her.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlqC1wWfVn6
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANABVJGbTM0nA
But that wasn’t enough; its other arm came crashing onto Izuku.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzVVErkXXQz
Uraraka: “No!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOybgd7crdr
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGrqHIJDYIP
Uraraka: “Get away!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVwaY1GFdAC
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAHogGDfC1Vx
Uraraka: “No!!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANATgpskl0qYc
But as the smoke cleared, the truth became clear. With a thud, the bot’s arm fell onto the ground.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAripUEowtFI
Then two more explosions echoed out; cannon shells hammered into the bot, making it stumble back.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA4eNviVpAbh
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAuyPSmp6YZT
Uraraka: “Phew.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAAJt10lgu4j
“Don’t relax just yet.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZxDbkr7tKp
Uraraka looked up to see another girl, this one with ear jacks for ears.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAE6neQ4vwaM
Jiro: “Name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAziPYjSutgu
She says as she tries to lift up the rumble on Uraraka.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAiXsrOgGHMf
Jiro: “Okay, this is heavy. Help me out here. Push while I pull.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjGH36ARhIS
Uraraka: “R-Right.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANApyZfQJMBiH
While Jiro helped Uraraka get away, Izuku was getting himself together.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAt1HesSBK8o
Izuku: “Thank you, Kiri.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANASly5vGeM4r
Kiri: “Nh. I rushed… here.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlHX0p1rGju
Izuku: “Just in time, but it won’t be over until we defeat this thing.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAa4TNJjMKGs
Kiri: “But… points.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9X87shLpYF
Izuku: “Maybe, but… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGfAAh4xfYJ
He looks to see the machine getting closer to that girl with the cannon.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhXyVo4GIlA
Izuku: “We heroes, we save people. That’s the most important thing.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAXvsirLhrVY
He could feel the immense joy coming from Kiri from that statement.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlGoEfLUjid
Kiri: “Nh!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA5WSrmbhZjI
Izuku: “Alright, lets go!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAnbHz1QRwh7
Izuku grabbed Kiri’s hand and teleported right in front of cannon girl.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVUcEUjIhNE
“Huh?”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOUCs94HmKz
Izuku touched the cannon and enveloped it with green energy.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAgHhmPV2k5E
Izuku: “Fire!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkA1nl9sIdo
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8qUWgFU4Ve
Izuku: “Kiri!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANARCv8IFvyvF
Kiri: “Nh!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANADzN04KGQWL
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzgxx9vWUgT

124Please respect copyright.PENANAv6g4aorAXy
Kiri: “SMAAAAAAASH!!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAvODfhswPf0
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA53ze7ds2DG
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIWLKBlKP2b
The two gently floated down as the other three girls came to the landing site.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAr1mL1I6Rzq
Jiro: “Whoa, that was awesome.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANALirUWjum1b
Uraraka: “Yeah, you two were great!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFurjQMBPdS
“You were like real a hero.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAy3WHQDHDNa
Cannon girl said with a smile that made Izuku blush a bit.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA57tGWSd41K
Izuku: “Aw, t-t-thanks. B-But we should probably find more bots before-
124Please respect copyright.PENANAG9UGOuWSCn
Present Mic: “The test is over!!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJzWu8NP8Aj
Izuku: “… Darn it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAvw9viL42Mc
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUL4ebqvVfR
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAwqA8YBhWD4
"What idiots! They lost all their points!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAD7waBt0ubs
The intense boy adjusted his glasses.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxvIuA5lq6Y
‘That's not it… were they even watching?'
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVN9sem9o8F
He looked at the brunette.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAami02wM6Q7
'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… ’
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7JL3sBAbJo
His fists were almost clenched hard enough to draw blood as he remembered simply passing by other examinees.
124Please respect copyright.PENANADyPjbTIMAN
'Of course, if this hadn't been an exam, I would have done the same.'
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjcoaskyQrp
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAySqPbyNezs
After all, they won’t pass. Unless…
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYU3P0BkepD
‘Could it be? If the exam is structured like that, then they… '
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjHthpwIBwz
124Please respect copyright.PENANADAUGU4ONzB
Tatsumaki: “You what!!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAseqheTLJXz
Of course, when he came home, he had to tell them what happened. He failed…
124Please respect copyright.PENANADftozgezZV
Fubuki: “Calm down; UA wouldn’t reject him for saving someone. That’s what a hero is supposed to do.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANApUG5mgnJw7
Tatsumaki: “They better not, or I’ll-”
124Please respect copyright.PENANASGzrPiSgW3
Izuku: “Please, don’t do anything!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxdSGBs9abO
The two sisters looked at their usually docile brother with surprise and worry.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFPaosd9m8p
Kiri: “Onii-chan… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlH9ZTdzQ9I
Izuku: “If I failed, then I failed. I can… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA4lal6aSg8P
No, he can’t say that right now.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbOuCjPQaf6
Izuku: “I can’t accept being let into UA because of family connections. Please, Tatsu, don’t do anything.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFhlbQIw6A1
Tatsumaki: “Izu… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAw6aTNE9hz2
Inko: “My boy has really grown up. But, I’m sure its just a delay.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVCZgqMZupe
Izuku: “It’s been three days.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8JQQxcWQHf
Fubuki: “That’s normal; I had to wait that long, if not longer.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANALnsvKfFcDA
Izuku: “All Might hasn’t contacted me either. Hasn’t even replied to my texts.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVPRnQ6qaPc
Fubuki: “Oh… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWV8ouO60Th
Tatsumaki: “Fine, I won’t make a fuss with UA. But I will teach All Might a lesson if he abandoned you.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAF6GrRGDRWk
Izuku: “Tatsu, please… ”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZsjUcKGNFX
That’s it when it happened, a knock at the door.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8fkcpVlkbf
Inko: “I’ll get it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAG2S4Lz3FWE
When she got the package, she squealed in joy.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxIWfYiOgnw
Inko: "I-i-i-i-zu-zu-zu-zu-izukuuuuu!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANA74osZBABVm
Izuku nearly jumped and clung onto the ceiling like a cat when his mom rushed to him.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA944nRxKmOJ
Inko: "It's here! It's really here!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaMBHlsVGO6
In her hand was a letter from U.A. High.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7h445ApSAw
Fubuki breathed a sigh of relief while Tatsumaki gave a huff.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMU7bR9LFLF
Tatsumaki: “I knew it.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANADyBZzrPJJ9
Izuku: “It… could be a rejection letter.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFfRfeIW6t3
Tatsumaki: “Trust me, it’s not.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAH6iMlJw2ML
Izuku: “How do you-”
124Please respect copyright.PENANALypBKaIfrr
Tatsumaki: “Trust me.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAStpjWi3PvF
Nodding, he took the envelope and opened it. Instead of a letter, though, a little disk fell onto his palm.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAgEFHkwe52r
The Midoriya family tilted their heads in confusion before the disk lit up.
124Please respect copyright.PENANANix4UFyDNk
All Might: "I am here… as a projection!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANABz8QttcjBm
Izuku: "Wha?! All Might?! I thought this letter was from U.A.!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIKWLopsjvo
His mentor was wearing a yellow pinstriped suit, looking every bit the hero everyone knew him as.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYLoMp4xAhV
All Might: "It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence, but there was a whole lot to deliberate on."
124Please respect copyright.PENANABYGctbT09y
He bowed to the camera and the family.
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8gXclKLOz6
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAK1DQ6tLgZa
The family, minus the blank Kiri, gaped at the screen.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAROYe5CxoEM
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."
124Please respect copyright.PENANASW97zN6lVy
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOHFPbCTSy4
Tatsumaki: “Why that-”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAbkVsDypf7z
All Might: "Is what I would say and if that were the end of the story!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAoUpMA19SFq
The family froze and turned back at the floating screen.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYuKSvQVabR
All Might: "I may have been an entertainer in a past life! Observe!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANA56xvuY8r0y
The camera zoomed out, revealing a screen behind All Might.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIRph3yroYp
Izuku: "The nice girl!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAab3kEsknjB
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?"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzkpdvsRl2f
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.”
124Please respect copyright.PENANAj5rsBH1a2n
Uraraka: “It's not fair for them to fail! They’re true heroes! So please, I want to give them my points! Please!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFaqJqYdJx4
She had squeezed her eyes shut.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAwlRrdWt3iJ
Uraraka: "PLEASE!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJAstVDeNUz
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.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzbC2QLf4Gl
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."
124Please respect copyright.PENANAXngTjpPqp7
He crossed his arms in an 'X' in front of his chest with a massive grin on his face.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkUlq8ealLL
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3INackZHAV
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!”
124Please respect copyright.PENANARCXSWCUV5Z
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!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlZB2ObbBaN
He roared, and the video changed to a darkened room where people were holding up scorecards.
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUxnQivPLwH
All Might: "They are awarded by a panel of judges and are another fundamental way for U.A. to evaluate you!"
124Please respect copyright.PENANAw7rRCHPbK1
The screen changed again, this time to what must have been exam rankings. And right at the top was his own name.
