Back at Heights Alliance in Class 1-A's dormitory, Mikoto came to visit Izuku and maybe Shouto if he's not busy.

He walked in to see the girls of Class 1-A discussing the Hero Work-Studies.

Uraraka: Oh! Hey Miichan!

Mikoto: Hi girls. Sorry to interrupt your conversation.

Momo: No need. Now that we all have the green light from Aizawa-Sensei to undergo Hero Work-Studies. We should be able to perform our duties outside of the Yuuei.

Mikoto nodded. It was the same situation from his class.

Jirou: So what are you doing here, Yukimura?

Before Mikoto could reply. Ashido beat him to the case.

Mina: You're here to see Midoriya-kun aren't you?

Mikoto: *Nods* Yep. Also Shouto too...Do you know where he's at?

Tsuyu: Todoroki-kun stepped out for a bit. But Midoriya-kun is in his room training.

Mikoto: Ah Okay! Thanks!

Mina: No problem!

Toru: You guys are the most adorable brothers I've ever seen!

Mina: IKR! Seriously! They're so cute! Midoriya-kun talks a lot about you Yukimura when you're not around!

Mikoto blushed at that which made the girls laugh before he walked into the dorm area and made looked around for Izuku's room. Once he found it, he knocked on the door.

Deku: A-Ah...Give me a minute...

Izuku quickly rushed to his door and greeted Mikoto.

Deku: Miichan?!

Mikoto: Hey buddy. Just came to check up on you for a moment.

Deku let's Mikoto inside his dorm as the snow user did a quick check up on his room.

There were so many All Might accessories decorated in the room, Mikoto couldn't help but shook his head, smiling.

Mikoto: You really are a fanboy of All Might. I am not even surprised to see all this merchandise.

Deku: *Blushes* S-So...what are you doing here for, Miichan?

Mikoto: Oh come on. Can't a young guy check up on his best friend/brother once in a while?

Deku: Sorry....

Mikoto: Don't be sorry, buddy. So how are things?

Deku had told him about meeting the Big Three. In a way, they were special in their own way. Nejire-Senpai had a knack of meeting new people and learning more about them...even if it is annoying. Tamaki-Senpai was really shy...like really shy...Izuku could relate to him...then there's Mirio-Senpai. He was basically a shining sun. He's all smiles and a very supporting person. The only thing Izuku found creepy about him is how Togata's quirk strips him naked in order for it to work.

Mikoto then told him his side of the story about the Secret 3. Most of his classmates were interning with either Kyan-Senpai or Akari-Senpai. But he wondered about Tsuyoi-Senpai? Is anyone interning with him.

He thought Souta would...Kenji too...Oka and Kelly as well...but they surprised them when they told him who they were actually interning with.

Souta with Deadly Scent (Shun) and Kenji with Hawks. Kelly and Oka going with Kyan. Yin is out of the question because everyone knew why...

Deku: I also called Gran Torino awhile ago and asks if he is accepting any Hero Work-Studies.

Mikoto: Really? What he say?

Deku: He said that was unable to accept my request since he is too busy at the moment. Which is why Gran Torino advises me to seek out for All Might.

Mikoto raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Mikoto: But All Might is out of the hero business...so why...?

Deku: That's what I said...I told him that I needs to use the connections I gained from the gained from the Sports Festival which Gran Torino replies that it's only for people who do have connections which All Might can introduce him to a number of people. Which brings me to Nighteye.

Mikoto: Yeah...You told me about him before...are you sure about this...? I heard from Riku-kun that he's a really strict man...those who don't exceed his expectations will be deemed unworthy in his eyes.

Deku: Miichan...Don't worry...I'll be fine. I got Mirio-Senpai's help along with All Might even if he won't be there. Even if I don't meet up with his expectations. I will do whatever I can to change his mind. I didn't come all this way to give up on my dreams now. I will be a hero someday.

Mikoto chuckled at that determination.

Mikoto: Izuku...What are you talking about...?

Deku: Huh?

Mikoto gave him a grin.

Mikoto: To so many people, You're...already a hero~!

Deku: *Smiles* Yeah...You're right...So are you.

Mikoto: Yep~!

Deku: Which is why I wanted to thank you...

Mikoto: Thank me...for what?

Deku:....For being my confidence...before I met you...For years...ever since I was diagnosed to be quirkless...everyone...including my Mom and Kacchan...didn't believe I could ever become a hero. They put me down and belittled me...shot down every attempt for me to have a chance....But once you came into my life you...believed in me...you were the first person that believe I could still do it...even though I didn't have a quirk at the time...You helped me when no one else did...So that's why...I wanted to thank you...because without you and everyone else here at U.A...I didn't think I would've gotten this far...thanks Miichan...for being a great friend and giving all the support I needed~!

Mikoto felt his heart throbbed. He hold back the tears threatening to fall from his eyes before hugging Izuku.

Mikoto: Of course, Izuku! We been each other's confidence ever since we met. It doesn't matter what anyone else says about you...or your quirk...or anything. I'm lucky...that I met you Izuku...Before coming here...you were my actual first real friend...

The other children he grew up with only hanged out with him because he was a son of a Pro-Hero. They didn't hang out with him to get to know Mikoto. They only did it as a excuse to see his mother.

But Izuku was different. He wanted to know more of Mikoto back then when they met, not his mother.

Deku: I guess that goes double for me...since...I come to realize that Kacchan wasn't a real friend to me at all. After all those years, I thought maybe our friendship can be still repair. But...I really don't think that'll work out anytime soon...

Mikoto scoffed a little at hearing Bakugo's name but tried his best not to say a hurtful remark of the blond boy.

Mikoto: Maybe. But who knows. He did apologized to you. Which actually surprised me.

Deku: No kidding. Me too...

Mikoto: I didn't think he actually felt guilty for what he done to you.

Deku: Yeah...I didn't even think he would apologize. He don't seem like the type of person to do that...

Mikoto: Hmmm...Maybe the relationship between you guys isn't toxic as I thought it was...there still a chance but Bakugo is gonna have to make it up to you. Big Time.

Deku: ....If that ever happens...

Mikoto: Pfft...Yeah...I don't think so either...He'll probably still be a bit petty and butthurt you succeeding which again wasn't your fault prior to his own...

Deku: I suppose so....

Mikoto: But anyway. Enough about Bakugo. This is between us.

Mikoto softly puts his hand on Izuku's shoulder. A reassuring smile made it's way onto his face.

Mikoto: Izuku...We been together for as long as we can remember. From middle school up until now. We became so much powerful and inspired so many others to give hero a chance. There is still so much work to do and things to learn. At this moment, the past, present, and future lies between our laps. Who knows what U.A has in store for us after the internships. Many adventures lies ahead for both of us for the next two years and a half. So I want to you know right here right now. That no matter what happens between, what experience we go through, the blood, sweat, and tears we shed along the way....I will always be here for you.

Deku: *Smiles* Thanks Miichan...the same goes for me too...

-Meanwhile-

At the League of Villains New Hideout.

It seems that two powerful villains from different organizations are going to meet face to face.

Toga: Okay! I brought him!

Inside the rundown hideout, stood Niko, Juuoru, Shiromi, Magne, Twice, Mr. Compress, and Shigaraki.

Niko: So...who is this new guy?

Shiromi: He looks spooky with that mask on...

Villain:.... I'm unimpressed with this League of Villains "hideout"...

Shigaraki: Hah?

Villain: It's run down and does not like the quality of the League of Villains.

Juurou: Ouch....

Niko: Geez. Tacky...

Magne: Who the hell is this guy being so critical of us?

Shigaraki responded to her answer.

Shigaraki: The man standing before us...is Overhaul, the Yakuza and the leader of the Shie Hassaikai.

Overhaul:....

Niko: (Overhaul...huh...Now why is he, of all people, doing here?)
