It was raining the day regular classes started again. Shouto could still feel a lingering phantom ache of his injuries from the sports festival. Making his way towards the train station, Shouto found himself listening to the rain hitting his umbrella as he recalled his days of recovery. He half-expected his father to come bursting in his room and shouting up a storm at him for losing except he didn't. His father didn't even come home that day. It kept Shouto on his guard but he made the most of the man's absence.

His days off weren't bad overall, Shouto realized. Looking back, he thinks that his favorite moment was when his father came into his room one day and saw the gold medal he exchanged with BoBoiBoy. Just remembering his father's face is enough to make him huff out a breath akin to a laugh. Speaking of BoBoiBoy, Shouto stops in his tracks. Even though it was barely visible with the umbrella overhead, his eyes locked onto the familiar orange dino cap in the distance.

However, Shouto can't help but notice his friend's hunched posture. Something must've happened, he thought as he approached the brunet.

「 BoBoiBoy. 」 Shouto called out to the other once he deemed he was close enough that he could hear him.

BoBoiBoy looked over his shoulder, his gaze meeting Shouto's, as he greeted the heterochromic teen with a smile. 「 Roki! I didn't think I'd bump into you here! 」

Shouto didn't miss the shift in the brunet's posture, and being blunt as ever, he questioned BoBoiBoy about it. 「 Are you alright? You looked a bit off a minute ago. 」

BoBoiBoy's smile fell, and for a moment, Shouto regretted asking until BoBoiBoy suddenly crouched down and buried his face in his hands. 「 I'm fine, Roki! It's just... embarrassing! Don't laugh... 」 BoBoiBoy exclaimed, trying to hide his face turning pink, as Shouto looked at him in confusion.

—

BoBoBoy did not want to wake up.

Even after being shaken, it seems he still preferred sleep rather than go to school. He hears someone sigh, 「 I thought you said you wanted to make breakfast today. 」 Aizawa, BoBoiBoy recognized the voice, said, though it still wasn't enough to wake the teen up. It was what he said in response that awoke him. 「 Five more minutes, Dad... 」 BoBoiBoy mumbled sleepily.

. . .

BoBoiBoy sprung from his position, eyes snapping wide open, as his panicked gaze met Aizawa's. 「 I MEAN–– 」 The raven-haired man took a deep breath, turning away from the teen. 「 Is this gonna be a regular occurrence? I need a warning before you give me a heart attack... 」 Aizawa questioned rhetorically. 「 I'll feed the cats... 」

As soon as the man was out of sight, BoBoiBoy grabbed the closest thing to him, a pillow, and screamed into it. What a way to wake up . . .

—

「 You said you wouldn't laugh! 」 BoBoiBoy whined as Shouto hid his smile with the back of his hand. 「 It's just... Isn't it normal to call your father, 'dad'? 」

BoBoiBoy's face turned bright red. 「 ROKI!!! 」 He yelled, stomping away with a pout, as Shouto trailed after the flustered BoBoiBoy.

Neither one knew when it began, but before they knew it, once they were inside the subway train, they were bombarded by several citizens. Some congratulated them. Some questioned them. Needless to say, the two teens certainly weren't expecting to be bothered this early in the day. 「 Maybe I should've just endured the embarrassing drive to school... 」 BoBoiBoy mumbled, sweatdropping, as Shouto nodded in agreement. 「 Yeah, maybe I should've asked to come along then... 」

—————————

「 It's only morning, but I'm already tired. 」 Izuku muttered to himself, feeling fatigue from being crowded by people on his way to UA.

「 Good morning, Midoriya! 」 A familiar voice called out to him from behind, causing the greenet to turn around to find that it was his spectacled friend. 「 Iida-kun? 」 Izuku was shocked to see his friend, running in the rain much less. 「 Wearing a p-poncho and rain boots? 」

「 Why are you walking so slowly? You're going to be late! 」 Iida said, running past the still surprised Izuku and now confused Izuku. 「 Late? There are still five minutes until the first bell. 」 Izuku responded, running after his friend from behind.

「 UA students should arrive ten minutes early! 」 Iida stated, not stopping, as he and Izuku ran all the way into the school building.

Once inside the school building and safe from the rain's pouring, Izuku can't help but look at his friend in worry as he dried his umbrella, whilst the spectacled teen put away his white rain boots in his shoe cubby.

「 Iida-kun, um— 」 Izuku started but was swiftly cut off by Iida.

「 If it's about my brother, there is no need to worry. 」 Iida pulls down his hood, turning to Izuku. 「 I apologize for worrying you needlessly. 」

Iida's expression looked forced to Izuku, the greenet watching in concern as his friend came back as he walked away. There was no way that the incident with the Hero Killer didn't affect Iida, Izuku knew, but he decided to drop it for now. Izuku soon made his way to his classroom after putting away his umbrella and exchanging his regular shoes with his indoor shoes.

The moment he neared the classroom, he could hear his classmates talking even from outside. As he entered, Izuku listened as his classmates chattered amongst each other; Ashido talked about how different the television channels broadcasted the matches of the sports festival and how many people talked to her on the way to school as Kirishima piping in to exclaim a 「 Me too! 」. Hagakure confessed her embarrassment and shyness at the prospect of being stared at while Ojiro stated in a questionnaire tone, 「 isn't that normal for you? 」. And, Kaminari and Mineta talked about how they were thrusted into the spotlight in only one day.

Izuku's eyes then focused on the three figures in the back of the classroom. A fond smile found itself on his face when he saw BoBoiBoy, the brunet's desk now moved back in between Todoroki and Yaoyorozu's desks, as they conversed with each other. BoBoiBoy noticed his gaze and waved at him to which Izuku returned before he made his way over to his seat.

Aizawa soon entered the classroom as everyone quickly settled in their respective seats. 「 Morning, 」 he greeted his class as the students greeted back in unison, 「 Good morning! 」

「 Kero? Aizawa-sensei, your bandages are gone. I'm glad. 」 Asui noticed, glad to see their homeroom teacher's injuries have now been fully healed. 「 The old lady went overboard with her treatment. 」 Aizawa said, scratching underneath his eye.

「 More importantly, we're having a special hero informatics class today. 」 Aizawa announced.

「 Here it is! 」 The class thought in unison, nervously anticipating whatever this sudden announcement was. Was it a surprise quiz? A discussion about hero laws perhaps? They could only wait on the edge of their seats.

After what felt like forever, Aizawa finally revealed it.「 Code names, 」 he said flatly, 「 you'll be coming up with hero names. 」

「 We're gonna do something exciting! 」 The class exclaimed in unison, cheering excitedly.

Aizawa's eyes turned red, hair floating up, as he glared at his students into silence before deactivating his Quirk once everyone quieted down.

「 This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned the other day. 」Aizawa started, explaining further of their activity today, 「 The drafts begin in earnest in the second and third years, after students have gained experience and can become immediate assets to the pros. In other words, for them to extend offers to first years like you shows that they are interested in your future potential. These offers are often cancelled if the interest dies down by graduation. 」

「 Adults are so selfish! 」 Mineta mumbled, slamming his fist on his desk.

Raising her hand, Hagakure raised a question, 「 So we'll have to prove ourselves once we get picked, huh? 」

「 That's right. 」 Aizawa answered, before lifting a remote in his hand, 「 And here are the totals for those with offers. 」 He said before pressing a button on the remote as the blackboard suddenly displayed the total offers each student had gotten.

「 In the other years, it's been more spread out, but all eyes were on these four this year. 」 Aizawa stated, obviously talking about referring to BoBoiBoy, Todoroki, Bakugou, and Midoriya.

「 Gah, there's such a big difference! 」 Kaminari exclaimed in shock.

「 Those pros don't know a good thing when they see one! 」 Aoyama said as he and the mouth agape Ashido stared at the board, offended at the lack of offers they had despite making it to the final event of the sports festival.

「 Even though they both placed third, Bakugou has more offers than Midoriya. 」 Jirou noticed as Kirishima realized that, too. 「 Yeah, you're right. 」

「 I don't know why. Midoriya looks way less scary than Bakugou. 」 Sero added, his tone teasing, as Bakugou's head snapped around. 「 What're the pros scared of?! 」 The spiky blond questioned, yelling.

Yaoyorozu let out a small sigh, turning to face her two friends. 「 You two are amazing, BoBoiBoy, Todoroki-san. 」 She said, her expression still a bit crestfallen. Todoroki didn't really feel the same excitement as his classmates. 「 They're probably all because of my dad. 」 He presumed. After all, it seemed likely knowing his father.

BoBoiBoy huffed at his friends' words and behaviors. ​​「 Give yourselves some credit guys! You were awesome during the sports festival! 」 He scolded, surprising the two.

「 Momo! You showed your intelligence, quick thinking, and strategizing in a moment's notice! So you're amazing, too! 」 Momo stared at the brunet, speechless, as she felt tears threatening to prickle her eyes.

​​「 Roki! Did you already forget what I said? You are Shouto and Endeavour is Enji. 」BoBoiBoy reminded him, but it sounded more like he was reprimanding his friends. 「 So what if some were because of your dad? There are still plenty who sought you out because of your performance in the festival. That's something your dad didn't do, that's all you! 」 Todoroki was silent, simply nodding his head. He hadn't thought of it that way before . . .

Uraraka leaned forward, putting her hands on Iida's shoulders, as she shook the spectacled teen back and forth repeatedly. 「 Wow, we got offers! 」 She exclaimed as her eyes brimmed with happy tears.

Midoriya is stunned. He never expected to get so many offers, especially after breaking his bones at the end of his fight with Todoroki, but he was grateful nonetheless, excited even, for the kinds of heroes who gave him offers.

「 Keeping these results in mind, whether or not anyone asked for you, you will all be participating in internships with pros. 」 Aizawa said, earning confused and curious looks and murmurs from his class.

「 Internships? 」 BoBoiBoy and Midoriya repeated, questioningly, simultaneously.

「 Yeah. 」 Aizawa confirmed, expanding further on the topic, 「 At USJ, you already got to experience combat with real villains, but it will still be meaningful training for you to see pros at work firsthand. 」

「 So that explains the hero names! 」 Sato said, understanding the code names now, as Uraraka voiced her excitement beside him, 「 Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun! 」

「 Well, those hero names are still temporary, but if you're not serious about it... 」 Aizawa started, trailing off, as a familiar voice finished upon entering, 「 ...you'll have hell to pay for later! 」 The front doors slide open as their Modern Hero Art History teacher entered, her presence arousing some riot amongst the students.

「 Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, and they end up becoming professional hero names! 」 She continued, walking towards the center of the front with her arms behind her head.

「 Midnight! 」 The class exclaimed in unison.

「 Well, that's how it is. 」 Aizawa said, rummaging around and picking up his iconic yellow sleeping bag, 「 so Midnight will be making sure your names are okay. I can't do stuff like that. 」

BoBoiBoy remembers this story. Hizashi told him about it, to Shouta's begrudge. Young Shouta never really bothered with his hero name so Young Hizashi gave him the one he uses now. It was a cute origin story, but it was definitely an underwhelming reveal.

「 When you give yourself a name, you get a more concrete image of what you want to be like in the future, and you can get closer to it. This is what it means when they say, "Names and nature do often agree." Like "All Might," for example. 」 Aizawa explained as Midnight passed small blank canvases to the students upfront, letting the student pass the rest to the person at their back.

「 Okay, let's start presenting names starting with those who are ready. 」 Midnight announced after fifteen minutes had passed.

「 We're presenting these?! 」 Kirishima thought, cringing at the sudden idea of presenting.

「 Man, that'll take some nerve... 」 Sero thought, wondering who'd be bold enough to go first.

「 May I go first? 」 Everyone's head spun towards the back of the classroom, surprised to find that it was, with his hand raised, BoBoiBoy.

Midnight nodded her head, and BoBoiBoy quickly sat up in his seat and made his way to the podium upfront. Once there, BoBoiBoy took one more look at what he wrote, 「 I've been done for quite a while now since I already have one. 」 He admitted, grinning widely, as he turned his canvas around to display his hero name.

「 I'm "The Element Hero: BoBoiBoy"! 」 He declared proudly.

Midnight tilted her head, curiously looking at the name. 「 Oh? So you're using your name? 」 She inquired inquisitively as BoBoiBoy nodded in affirmation.

「 Back in...​​ 」 BoBoiBoy trails off for a moment, contemplating his next words as he tries to figure out how to explain the origin of his name without exposing himself. 「 ...where I'm from, the laws on the usage of powers aren't as strict as they are here. Pro heroes weren't really around either since the crime rates are so low and the police can handle it anyway. 」 He explained. It wasn't entirely a lie, but it wasn't entirely the truth either.

「 When I got my power, all I ever wanted was to just play with it, show it off to my friends, and stuff. But when I realized how much good I can do if I used it to help others, I kinda started doing it. 」 He continued as he was unable to stop a fond smile from forming on his face as he recalled his younger days.

「 I help out when I can, and not too long, the community decided to dub me this title. 」 BoBoiBoy said, 「 I always try my best to be worthy of this title, and now, I'm hoping I'm still worthy of it here! 」

「 What a wonderful origin story! 」 Midnight remarked before giving BoBoiBoy a thumbs up, 「 Awesome! 」 She said, earning an excited look from said brunet.

「 Awesome! 」 BoBoiBoy repeated.

BoBoiBoy returns to his seat after presenting, and some are starting to get some courage to go next. Aoyama came up next, 「 Here I go! 」 He said, dramatically raising his canvas up for the whole class to see, 「 "Shining Hero: 'I can not stop twinkling'!" Which means, you can't stop my sparkles! 」

「 It's a sentence! 」 The class exclaimed in disbelief.

「 It'll be easier to use if you take out the "I" and shorten the "can not" to "can't". 」 Midnight stated, scribbling on the canvas as she changed the wording a bit, to which Aoyama agreed, 「 You're right, mademoiselle. 」

「 It's okay? 」 The class questioned in unison.

「 Anyway, choose one— English or French! 」 Sato exclaimed afterwards.

「 Then, I'll go next! 」 Ashido declared, going up front and presenting her hero name, 「 "Hero name, 'Alien Queen'!" 」

「 —Two! Are you trying for the thing with acidic blood?​​ 」 Midnight questioned, shuddering, ​​「 I wouldn't if I were you! 」 She exclaimed in disagreement.

「 Dang it. 」 Ashido sighed, walking back to her seat droopily.

「 Idiot! 」 The class thought as their confidence at going next withered away. 「 Since the other ones were weird, it feels like we're supposed to make them funny, or use our name like BoBoiBoy now! 」

「 Kero! Then, may I go next? 」 Asui asked, raising her hand, as Midnight gave her the okay to go.

Standing on the podium, Asui then revealed her hero name. 「 I've had this in mind since I was in elementary school. 」 She explained.

「 "Rainy Season Hero: Froppy." 」

Midnight complimented the name. 「 That's so cute! It seems friendly, I like it! 」 She said, 「 It's a great example of a name that everyone will love! 」

The class seemed to like the name, too, as they started to chant the frog girl's hero name. 「 Thanks Froppy! You've brought things back to normal! 」 The class thanked the girl mentally for inadvertently lifting the room's mood.

「 Then, I'll go too! 」 Kirishima volunteered next.

「 "Sturdy Hero: Red Riot"! 」

「 "Red Riot"? 」 Midnight repeated, quickly registering who's name it took inspiration from, ​​「 You're paying homage to the Chivalrous Hero: Crimson Riot, right? 」

「 Yes. It's pretty old-fashioned, but the hero image I'm going for is Crimson himself. 」 Kirishima confirmed, scratching the back of his head shyly.

「 If you're bearing a name you admire, it'll come with much more pressure. 」 Midnight said but that fact didn't deter the redhead.

「 I'm prepared for that! 」 Kirishima stated confidently.

Izuku can't help but find that so cool. 「 Before I met All Might... 」 Izuku thinks as he reminisces on his younger years. The plethora of All Might inspired names he came up with, with his mother. 「 ...I grinned as I thought of names that sounded like his. 」

​​「 But... Now that I've been given his power and am under his care, I see just how big a difference there is between us. 」 His younger days are over, and a huge responsibility is placed on his shoulders.

​​「 There's no way I can take on a name like that. 」 Izuku thought to himself as he stared at his blank canvas. A hero name that defines him.

He wasn't the only one stumped on what kind of hero name they should have.

「 Man, I haven't thought of a name yet... 」 Kaminari wondered out loud, brows furrowed and finger tapping his chin thoughtfully.

Jirou then taps his shoulder, catching the blond's attention. 「 Why don't I give you one? 」 She suggested, 「 How about "Jamming-yay"? 」

「 It's like Hemmingway, who wrote A Farewell to Arms! 」 Kaminari said, liking Jirou's proposed hero name for him. 「 Sounds smart! It's cool! 」 He gave her a thumbs up.

「 No... It's because even though you're strong... 」 Jirou started, covering her mouth to muffle her laughter, 「 ...you always end up like that. 」 She said, referring to the way the blond is always jamming his brain when using his Quirk.

「 Hey, Jirou! Stop messing with me! 」 Kaminari shouted out in annoyance as Jirou quickly made her way upfront.

「 "Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack." 」 Jirou declared as Midnight responded in approval, 「 That's good! Next! 」

「 "Tentacle Hero: Tentacole." 」 Shouji went up next as Midnight recognized the nice combination for it. 「 It's like tentacle with some octopus thrown in! 」

「 "Taping Hero: Cellophane." 」 Sero was next, the teen blushing at Midnight's compliment. 「 Nice and simple! That's important! 」 She gave him the thumbs up.

「 "Martial Arts Hero: Tailman." 」 Afterwards, it was Ojiro, flexing his tail as he declared his name. 「 Your name reflects your body! 」 Midnight remarked in approval.

「 "Sweets Hero: Sugarman"! 」 Sato presented his next, earning a squeal from Midnight, 「 So sweet! 」

「 "Pinky!" 」 Ashido yelled, announcing her hero name loudly, as Midnight remarked, 「 Peachy pink complexion! 」

「 "Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt", combining "charge" with "lightning bolt"! 」 Kaminari declared, leaving Midnight shivering in tingles, 「 Oh, I feel tingly! 」 She approves.

「 "Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl"! 」 Hagakure went up after as Midnight accepted with a compliment, 「 That's great! 」

「 Come on, let's keep right on going! 」 Midnight exclaimed as Yaoyorozu volunteered to go next.

「 I hope I will not bring shame to this name. 」 Yaoyorozu said, looking at her canvas one more time before turning it around for everyone to see.

「 "Everything Hero: Creati." 」

「 Creative! 」 Midnight remarked, supporting the name.

「 "Shouto." 」 Todoroki said blankly.

「 Using your name like BoBoiBoy, too? Is that okay? 」 Midnight inquired, looking at the name curiously.

「 Yeah. 」 The heterochromic teen answered.

As Todoroki returned to his seat, BoBoiBoy gave him an incredulous stare. ​​「 Is this just a ploy to get me to call you Shouto? 」 The brunet questioned jokingly.

Todoroki lets a small smile form on his lips as he gives BoBoiBoy an innocent look. ​​「 No, but I really don't get why you won't use it when you've already called me it before, and you have my permission. 」

BoBoiBoy huffed, crossing his arms, offended at the heterochromic teen's statement. ​​「 There's a special condition for me to use it. Besides, I've already gotten attached to the nickname "Roki." 」 The brunet stated as Todoroki shook his head, a soft chuckle escaping his lips. ​​「 Okay, Roki's fine, too. 」

「 "Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi." 」 Tokoyami was next, earning a dramatic comment from Midnight, 「 God of the night! 」

「 "Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice"! 」 Mineta presented next, lifting his canvas up as he was too short to be seen. 「 Pop and kitschy! 」 Midnight remarked in approval.

Kouda went upfront next, displaying his name but not explaining forward: 『 "Petting Hero: Anima" 』 The teen is known to be quiet and shy so Midnight was didn't mind his silence. 「 Okay, got it! 」 She approved, giving the teen a thumbs up.

Everyone's hero names were all friendly and nice . . . and then there was Bakugou . . .

「 'King Explosion Murder.' 」 Bakugou declared.

BoBoiBoy snorted, covering his mouth immediately as everyone stared at him.

「 You probably shouldn't use something like that. 」 Midnight didn't approve.

「 Why not?! 」 Bakugou yelled, exclaiming questioningly.

「 You should be "Explosion Boy"! 」 Kirishima teased as Bakugou barked back at him, 「 Shut up, Shitty Hair! 」

It took all of BoBoiBoy's will power to not burst out in laughter.

「 Okay, my turn... 」 Uraraka muttered to herself as she made her way to the podium.

「 This is what I thought of: "Uravity". 」 She presented with an unsure smile.

「 Sounds stylish! 」 Midnight exclaimed in approval as Uraraka sighed a breath of relief.

「 Choosing hero names is going more smoothly than I thought it would! 」 Midnight realized, scanning the room for the last remaining ones who haven't chosen and presented their hero names. 「 All that's left is Bakugou, who needs to rethink his, and Iida. And Midoriya, right? 」

Speaking of Iida, BoBoiBoy glanced at the spectacled teen, with Todoroki following his gaze. They had heard the news together, and they both noticed the shift in Iida's behavior. Iida seemed to be struggling picking his hero name, writing something on the canvas before halting—hesitating.

『 "Tenya" 』 was found on the canvas when Iida went up to present. It was definitely not what he had originally written, they realized.

「 You're using your first name, too? 」 Midnight inquired curiously, but Iida only responded with a nod before going back to his seat.

Afterwards, Midnight calls on the last one who hasn't presented yet. 「 Midoriya, are you ready? 」 She asked.

「 Y-Yes! 」 Izuku answered, quickly making his way toward the front.

「 It's gotta be... this. 」 He thought to himself as he looked at his hero name for a final time before showing it to the class.

Everyone stared at the hero name Izuku had written, gasps and whispers echoing the room, as they questioned why the greenet chose that name.

「 Are you really okay with that? 」 Kaminari inquired.

「 You might be called that forever, you know. 」 Kirishima remarked.

But Izuku's mind was set.

「 Yeah. ​」 Izuku nodded, recalling how the name that was previously an insult but now held a new meaning thanks to a certain someone. ​​「 I didn't like this name until now. But someone changed the meaning of it, and that had a huge impact on me. It made me really happy. 」

「 My "Deku" isn't always going to mean "useless"! My "Deku" means "you can do it"! 」
The memory of his one on one confrontation with Katsuki resurfacing in his thoughts.

「 This is my hero name! 」 Izuku declared with a wobbly smile, his canvas displaying the name: 『 "Deku" 』, as BoBoiBoy and Uraraka beamed at the greenet's words.

「 'Lord Explosion Murder'! 」 Bakugou yelled.

BoBoiBoy broke, bursting out in laughter.

「 No, that's still no good. 」 Midnight disapproved.

—————————

Toshinori entered the staff room, walking over Cementoss' desk after hearing the man say, 「 Oh? Offers for the first years are still coming. There's one more. 」

Curious, Toshinori looked over the block-headed man's shoulder. 「 Who's that for? 」 He asked.

「 Midoriya. 」 Cementoss answered.

That piqued Toshinori's interest, leaning closer to take a closer look at who it might be. 「 Really? Who is it...? 」 He wondered as he read the hero's name, not believing it for a moment. 「 This person is...! 」 He exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide open, as a feeling of dread overwhelmed him.

—————————

「 Now that everyone's decided on their hero names, we'll go back to talking about the internships. 」 Aizawa said, awake from his slumber, as Midnight stretched her muscles while the raven-haired man explained the details of the internships.

「 They will last for a week. As for where you'll have them, those who had offers from pros will be given your own lists, so you can choose for those yourself. Those who didn't have offers will choose from among the forty agencies around the country that will be accepting our interns. 」 He stated, picking up a list of hero agencies and holding up for the class to see.

「 They all work in different places and have different specialties. 」 Aizawa said.

「 For example, Thirteen would be focused on rescues from accidents and disasters more than fighting villains. 」 Midnight added, citing an example.

「 Think carefully before you choose. 」 Aizawa reminded his class.

「 Yes, sir! 」 The class responded in unison.

The lists are then passed to the students, each one already wondering who they will intern with.

「 I want to fight crime in urban areas! 」 Kirishima said, wanting to be in a field where his Quirk would be most useful.

「 I hope I can intern at a place with floods. I wonder if there are any? 」 Tsuyu pondered, hoping for a place where her Quirk can thrive.

「 Turn in your choices before the weekend. 」 Aizawa announced, making his way toward the door along with Midnight, leaving his students to worry about which hero agency they will be going to by the deadline which was in two days.

Midnight waves goodbye to the class, leaving ahead of Aizawa as he dismisses his class. 「 Make your decision efficiently. Dismissed. 」 Aizawa said before shutting the door and leaving.

BoBoiBoy skimmed through the list of hero agencies, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the amount of offers he has to go through. Glancing at his heterochromic friend, BoBoiBoy noticed his friend staring at his list of offers quite intensely. After inspecting what Shouto was staring at, BoBoiBoy recognized the name.

『 "Endeavor Hero Agency" 』

Looking through his list for a moment, his eyes land on the same name. It looks like he was given an offer, too. Noticing Shouto looking at his list, the two make eye contact.

​​「 Maybe, we'll be going to the same place? 」 BoBoiBoy said, more of as comfort, though he wasn't entirely opposed to the idea of going to an agency with a friend.

And that seemed to, for some reason, give Shouto some peace of mind. 「 Maybe... let's keep looking though. 」 Shouto responded, not entirely sure of his decision yet, as BoBoiBoy nodded in agreement.

Lunchtime rolls by and there are still some who have yet to decide on where they'll be going. In their classroom, some Class 1-A students are still there. Among them were BoBoiBoy, who was chatting with Shouto and Tokoyami.

​​「 Have you guys decided what pro agency you're going to yet? 」 BoBoiBoy asked, earning a shrug from Shouto and Tokoyami.

​​「 I have gotten an offer from the number three pro hero, perhaps I shall take the offer. 」 Tokoyami said in response.

​​「 That's Hawks, right? Wow... that's so cool! 」 BoBoiBoy exclaimed, eyes sparkling. He researched a lot of the heroes in this world, and he often found himself in awe at the different kinds of heroes and their powers.

​​「 I think I got an offer with him, too. 」 He said, skimming through his list and pointing at the pro hero's name once he found it: 『 "Hawks Hero Agency" 』

​​「 Perhaps we will intern together? 」 Tokoyami inquired back as BoBoiBoy thought to himself for a moment before sighing. 「 I'm still not sure... I hardly got through a third of my list yet... 」 BoBoiBoy answered, drooping onto his desk tiredly.

Tokoyami nodded, ​​「 It's alright, BoBoiBoy. This is an important decision after all, so take your time with it. 」 The raven head reassures the brunet as Shouto pats BoBoiBoy's back with a comforting hand. ​​「 Thanks guys. 」 The brunet murmured, grateful for his friends' kind words and actions.

Scanning the room, BoBoiBoy decided to listen in to his other classmates' conversations to distract himself a bit as Mina asked everyone how their pro agency picking was going.

「 I'm going to Mt. Lady! 」 Mineta announced, proudly pointing to himself.

「 Mineta-chan, you're thinking about something perverted, aren't you? 」 Tsuyu called the short purple-haired boy out as he tried to deny it. 「 Of course not! 」 Mineta exclaimed in defense.

Suddenly feeling a shiver, Mineta glanced over his shoulder and found BoBoiBoy glaring at him intensely. 「 Lies. 」 The brunet said as Mineta scurried away in fear, out of BoBoiBoy's view. BoBoiBoy huffed, turning his attention to somewhere else.

「 Ashido, you made it pretty far in the tournament, too. 」 Ojiro remarked, questioning her lack of offers, ​​「 It's weird you didn't get any offers. 」

「 You said it. 」 Mina agreed, upset that it was the case.

Turning around, Ochako asked his greenet friend about his progress so far, 「 Deku-kun, have you decided already? 」 She asked, only to see him already analyzing and muttering about his offers.

「 There are 2999 heroes who'll take me, so it's gonna take some time to look up their specialties and split them into groups... 」 Izuku mumbled to himself out loud.

The class watched the greenet's musings in silent wonder. 「 It's practically an art! 」 They all thought in unison.

「 Oh, sorry! I was lost in thought... 」 Izuku apologized, snapping out of his daze, as he blushed, embarrassed slightly.

「 You're really thinking carefully about this, huh? 」 Tsuyu remarked, only making the greenet more flustered.

「 Actually, I've already decided! 」 Ochako announced, receiving surprised responses from the class.

「 Really? 」 Mina exclaimed in disbelief as Ojiro asked, 「 Where? 」

「 Battle Hero: Gunhead's agency. 」 Ochako stated, her choice of internship surprised Izuku.

「 Huh? Gunhead's a huge battle type! You're going there, Uraraka? 」 The greenet questioned as Ochako nodded in confirmation. 「 Yup! I got an offer from them! 」 She explained.

「 Really? I totally thought you were trying to be a hero like Thirteen-sensei. 」 Izuku said, slightly confused.

「 Ultimately, yes. 」 Ochako said, 「 But fighting Bakugou at the sports festival made me think— The stronger I get, the more possibilities I'll have! If I only do what I want, I'll have a narrower perspective! 」 She explained.

「 I see. 」 Izuku mutters, understanding his friend's reasoning.

「 More importantly, this has been bothering me for a while, but... You're trembling, aren't you? 」 Ochako inquired, looking worriedly at her friend.

BoBoiBoy glanced at Izuku and noticed he really was trembling. 「 Oh, this? It's the air chair exercise. 」 The greenet answered, and with a closer look, he was! 「 Air chair?! 」 BoBoiBoy exclaimed in shock. How long had he been doing that?!

「 Don't tell me you do that all through class? 」 Ochako questioned as Mina gasped in disbelief, 「 There's no way! 」

「 That's such an old-fashioned exercise. 」 Mineta commented, but Ojiro was quick to remark, 「 What are you saying? The isometric muscle contraction of the air chair means it's an easy way to train without moving! 」

「 Shut up... 」 Bakugou muttered, his paper getting crumpled as he was becoming more irritated by the noise around him.

​​「 He who follows two hares catches neither. 」 Tokoyami commented, earning a confused but amused look from BoBoiBoy.

All the while, Iida writes down something on his paper that nobody in class notices . . .

—————————

「 Deku-kun, let's go home together. 」 Uraraka said as Izuku nodded in agreement.「 Okay. 」

Turning around, Uraraka was about to tell Iida the same thing, 「 Iida-kun, you too–– 」, except the spectacled teen was already gone. 「 Huh? 」

「 He probably decided on where he wants to do his internship and went to turn it into the staff room. 」 Izuku assumed, gathering his things, as Uraraka hummed in acknowledgment before looking around the room.

「 Oh! How about BoBoiBoy? And maybe Todoroki-kun, too? 」 She suggested as she pointed at the duo who were also gathering their things.

Izuku smiled at the idea called out to them, 「 BoBoiBoy! Todoroki-kun! 」 Said teens looked over as their attention got caught. 「 Do you guys want to go home together with us? 」 Uraraka asked afterwards, gesturing at herself and Izuku.

Todoroki turned to BoBoiBoy for a moment, 「 No after school stay today? 」 The heterochromic teen inquired as BoBoiBoy nodded slowly.「 Sadly, no. Maybe next time? 」 The brunet clarified, a slight wistful expression on his face, before turning towards Izuku and Uraraka.

「 And sure! We can come along! Right, Roki? 」 BoBoiBoy answered, a smile forming on his face once again, as Todoroki nodded in agreement.

「 Great! 」 Uraraka exclaimed as they all quickly collected their things.

While they were walking towards the door, Izuku couldn't help but notice the serious contemplative look on BoBoiBoy's face. 「 Are you alright, BoBoiBoy? 」 He asked the brunet, who perked up upon being inquired, 「 Oh? Yeah, I'm fine. Just stumped on who I should intern with... 」 BoBoiBoy reassured, scratching his head nervously.

「 Right... must be hard with so many offers. 」 Uraraka remembered, giving the brunet a comforting smile, as BoBoiBoy nodded in confirmation. 「 I have a few in mind but... 」 He trailed off, a sudden idea popping in his mind, or well— a certain person popping in his head. Of course! How could he have forgotten!?

「 WAIT! I know who I want to intern with! 」 BoBoiBoy suddenly exclaimed, making his friends jump at the abrupt shout. Before they could ask BoBoiBoy anything, the brunet was already opening the door and—

All Might appeared all of a sudden, 「 I am here! In a bizarre position! 」 The pro hero teacher exclaimed, his sudden appearance jumpscaring BoBoiBoy as the brunet jumped back, grabbing onto Todoroki and Uraraka's shoulders.

「 Way to give someone a mini heart attack... 」 BoBoiBoy mumbled, trying to steady himself, as Todoroki and Uraraka helped him. ​​「 Didn't you do the same thing a second ago...? 」 His friends thought simultaneously at the brunet's unintentional hypocrisy.

「 What's the matter, Tos— All Might? Why are you in such a hurry? 」 Izuku asked, catching himself before he accidentally named his mentor.

「 Come with me for a moment. 」 All Might said, gesturing for him to follow. Izuku didn't know what was going on, but nodded nonetheless.「 R-Right... I'll be right back guys. 」

And with that, Izuku left with All Might.

「 I wonder what All Might needed Deku-kun for... 」 Ochako questioned.

BoBoiBoy glanced over at Shouto, already having a feeling of what kinds of conspiracy theories the heterochromic teen is thinking. 「 Roki, are you alright with going home with Ocha-kun and Izukun? I might take a while. 」 BoBoiBoy asked his friend, the heterochromic teen giving him a conflicted look.

Shouto still isn't comfortable with other people it seemed, not at all liking the idea of staying with Ochako alone. The brunette wouldn't have minded most likely, but it would still be awkward.

「 Then, I'll stay behind and wait for you. 」 Shouto stated as BoBoiBoy shook his head, 「 Ah, you don't need to! 」

「 You don't need to worry! 」 Ochako reassured her fellow brunet, ​​「 I'll wait for Deku-kun, and Todoroki-kun will wait for you. That way, none of us have to go home alone! 」 She said with a smile.

​​「 Sorry again! Let's go home together next time! 」 BoBoiBoy promised as Shouto nodded.

They both waved goodbye to each other as they parted ways. BoBoiBoy and Shouto making their way to the staff room.

​​「 Did you figure out who you want to intern with? 」 Shouto asked as BoBoiBoy smiled and nodded. ​​「 Yup! I just need confirmation if it's okay. 」 The brunet explained before giving his friend a curious look.

​​「 How about you? Any idea where? 」 BoBoiBoy inquired, watching as Shouto stared at his paper. ​​「 I think so. 」 The heterochromic teen replied, showing what he had written on his paper.

BoBoiBoy pursed his lips, brow furrowing, as he stared at the paper and then at his friend. ​​「 Are you sure...? 」 He questioned worriedly, but Shouto gave him a look—a look that told him he was sure.

​​「 I have no intention of going down the path he made. 」 Shouto stated, ​​「 I will take my own path. 」

​​「 As you should. 」 BoBoiBoy said, nudging his friend playfully, ​​「 Just let me know if he causes you any trouble, okay? 」

Shouta looked through the submitted papers his students have given him, scanning through each blankly, as his co-worker—Snipe—looked over his shoulder to see what he was looking through.

​​​​「 Internships, huh? 」 Snipe inquired as Shouta nodded affirmatively, ​​「 Yeah. A few already decided. 」

​​「 It's an important event. Make sure they think about it properly. There are some third years that still have regrets about it. 」 Snipe reminded before walking away and letting Shouta do his work.

​​「 Yeah... 」 Shouta agreed, his eyes widening when it landed on Iida's paper:

『 "Class 1-A –– Iida Tenya" 』
『 "Desired Internship Agency" 』
『 "First Choice: Hosu City, Tokyo - Normal Hero: Manual Agency" 』

​​「 The agency Iida wants to go to... I'm sure he had offers from better places. 」 Shouta thought to himself, his eyes furrowing, as he stared at the piece of paper.​​「 A hero agency in Hosu... Don't tell me... 」

His train of thought is soon interrupted by Snipe, who was just about to leave the staff room. 「 Oh, yeah. How's the exchange student—BoBoiBoy, was it? Did he pick a hero agency yet? 」 His co-worker inquired.

Shouta shook his head, ​​「 Not as far as I— 」

​​「 ZAWA-SENSEI! 」 A familiar voice booming loudly as the staff door abruptly opened, making Snipe—who was near the door—jump.

​​「 ...know of... 」 Shouta tailed off.

BoBoiBoy stood still for a moment, the teen's face turning pink. ​​「 Um, oops... Sorry for the intrusion... 」 BoBoiBoy apologize, bowing his head, as he apologized to Snipe who didn't mind.

BoBoiBoy entered the staff room with Todoroki trailing behind him. The brunet noticed Inui on the other side of the room and greeted the man, who greeted back. BoBoiBoy stops Shouta immediately and approaches the raven-haired man.

​​「 Don't barge in yelling next time... Zashi is a bad influence on you... 」 Shouta said, mumbling the last part to himself.

​​「 Hehe. No promises. 」 BoBoiBoy scratched the back of his head nervously, sticking his tongue out playfully.

Shouta sighed, turning toward his heterochromic student who was standing silently with a his paper in hand beside the brunet.

​​「 Did you pick an agency yet? 」 Shouta inquired as Todoroki nodded and gave him his paper. Shouta skimmed through it, keeping his face blank. Back when BoBoiBoy and Todoroki were fighting, Shouta found the brunet researching about Endeavor on his phone when he was tucking the kid to bed after the kid had fallen asleep. Something was going on with the Todoroki Family, but he didn't comment on it yet.

​​「 All right. What did you want to talk about, kid? 」 Shouta asked, turning his attention to BoBoiBoy.

​​「 Well... I have a question... 」 The brunet inquired in response.

For some reason, the kid's behavior told him something . . .​​ 「 Why do I feel like this is gonna be a headache...? 」

—————————

Time flew by so fast. Before anyone knew, it was already the first day of their internships had arrived.

​​「 You all have your costumes, right? 」 Aizawa reminded his students, ​​「 Remember, you aren't allowed to wear them in public. Don't drop them or anything. 」

​​「 Yessir! 」 Mina responded cheerfully.

​​「 Speak clearly! It's 'yes, sir,' Ashido. 」 Aizawa scolded the pinkette, who slouched sadly, ​​「 Yes, sir... 」

​​「 Make sure you mind your manners with the heroes at your internships! Off with you, now 」 Aizawa advised his class as they responded in unison, ​​「 Yes, sir! 」

​​「 My train is leaving soon, I will take my leave. 」 Momo said, bidding farewell to BoBoiBoy and Shouto, as she walked away.

​​「 Text me when you get there safely, Momo! 」 BoBoiBoy told the noirette as Momo replied affirmatively. ​​「 I will! 」

As they watch the noirette leave, their gaze then follows their spectacled classmate. Tenya walked past them, the expression he wore greatly worrying BoBoiBoy, as they watched. None of them knew what to say.

​​「 iida-kun! 」 Izuku called to the spectacled teen with Ochako following beside him.

​​「 If you ever feel hopeless, make sure you let us know. 」 Izuku told his friend as Ochako nodded along. 「 We're friends, right? 」

Tenya turns around, the look on his face not at all easing his friend's concern. ​​「 Yeah. 」Tenya said before turning and walking away.

​​「 Ten-kun... 」 BoBoiBoy muttered, feeling terrible for not being able to do anything to help his friend. ​​「 I wish I could just hug him and tell him it'll be alright but... 」 He trails off.

​​「 ...you don't know what would happen if you do. Worried it might make the situation worse. 」 Shouto finished as BoBoiBoy sighed sadly. ​​「 Yeah... 」

Shouto stared at the spectacled teen's back disappear in the distance, feeling a sense of deja vu of some sort. He can't help but be reminded of himself in a way. The look on his face was reminiscent of a face full of rage and anger . . . similar to his.

Hearing his train on the intercom, Shouto turned to BoBoiBoy. ​​「 I have to go now. 」 He said as the brunet nodded.

​​「 Okay! Text me when you get there! Safe travels! 」 BoBoiBoy exclaimed, waving goodbye to Shouto, who returned the gesture. ​​「 Good luck with your internship. 」

For the next few minutes, hours maybe, he didn't really remember as he was trying to contain his excitement. BoBoiBoy bid each and every one of his classmates and friends as they boarded their trains, and soon enough, it was just him and Aizawa left.

​​「 What's your name, kid? 」 Aizawa asked him.

​​「 BoBoiBoy, sir! From UA High, Class 1-A! 」 BoBoiBoy answered, smiling widely as he greeted the raven-haired man. ​​「 Nice to meet you, Aizawa-sensei! 」

Aizawa shook his head. ​​「 For the duration of your internship with me, you will refer to me as Eraser Head, got it? 」 Eraser Head instructed.

​​「 Yes, sir! 」 BoBoiBoy responded, happy to play along with his mentor. ​​「 Please bear with me, Eraser Head-sensei! 」

Eh heh~

More embarrassing Boi over the Dadzawa thing (ft. Roki's teasing) because everyone seemed to love it.

I tired baiting you into thinking Boi would be interning with Roki and Endeavor, and also Tokoyami and Hawks :P but it was always gonna be Dadzawa. (It always had been)
