Izuku and Enso stepped inside the dojo once more, with Enso tossing his bag to the side and tapping his watch to change the color scheme of his suit back into black.

"If you had something to talk about, we could've just talked on the phone or you could've told me while we walked together. Why make me come with you here?" Izuku asked as he also placed his bag near the door.

Enso started to stretch his arms, "We're going to continue with your training right now. Text your mom that you'll be with me for a bit."

"Eh?!" Izuku was surprised, "B-But I don't even have any workout clothes to change into!"

Enso tossed the boy black shorts and Izuku's white t-shirt with the text "All Might" imprinted in bold, black letters.

"When did you even get these?!" Izuku asked in confusion.

"Doesn't matter, just close the front door and put them on. Don't forget to text your mom, I remember you telling me that she gets worried when you don't tell her anything."

"A-Alright." Izuku closed the door behind him and proceeded to undress out of his uniform, with Enso performing more stretches in the middle of the dojo floor.

"You know... You shouldn't really spring these sudden sessions on me without letting me tell my mom sooner. She's been getting more worried recently and wants to meet both you and All Might... It's been about a year, so don't you think you should introduce yourself to her at least? If not as a teacher, then just as a friend of mine?"

Enso stopped stretching and thought about it for a moment, then sighing. "I'll make a note of that."

"At least he didn't refuse." Izuku thought as he put on the T-shirt.

He made his way over to Enso in the middle of the room. "So what'll I be doing exactly? Are we gonna fight again?"

"No, not this time. Today we're going to be improving on your movement."

Izuku looked at him curiously. "How am I gonna do that?"

Enso cracked his neck, "Simple, you're gonna learn to dance."

"..." A comedic question mark appeared over Izuku's head as he formed a blank look. "Come again?"

Enso shuffled his feet on the ground, "You're going to learn to dance, mostly breakdancing-ish styles though."

Izuku panicked and his arms shot all over the place, "B-B-But I've never danced before in my life!!"

"Exactly, so you'll be learning it now."

Izuku was confused beyond belief, "B-But how will dancing even help with my movement?!"

Enso suddenly turned to him and swung his leg rather high at the boy.

Reacting, Izuku jumped back and avoided the attempt to swing at his head, "Hey!"

Enso didn't falter as he started to spin towards Izuku, pulling out a combination of graceful low kicks, high kicks, and swinging his arms.

Izuku struggled to dodge the barrage of attacks as he continued to back up. These movements of Enso were abnormal to him, "I-I've never seen him fight this way before!"

At one point, Enso performed a cartwheel towards Izuku but somehow canceled it halfway with his hands, his legs sticking into the air in a handstand.

"There!" Izuku thought of this as an opening and tried to leap forward to swing at Enso.

Only to suddenly get kicked directly on his cheek.

He got sent backward and landed on his back, "Ack!"

He sat up and rubbed his cheek, "Ow, ow... How even-?" Izuku looked ahead and was shocked to see Enso with his legs perfectly split in the air, spinning them consecutively by using his hands and shifting his body to spin.

"H-He's-He's-"

Enso pushed his hands to jump off the ground rather high, then performing a spin in the air before landing back onto his feet with a pose.

"-dancing!!" Izuku finished the thought, amazed by what he saw.

Enso stood up straight and adjusted his tie, "Been a while since I've done that."

Izuku immediately jumped to his feet and rushed in front of Enso with stars in his eyes. "That was so cool! I've never seen anyone move like that before! To think that you use dancing to fight is amazing!"

Enso cleaned his hands with a handkerchief, "Now it seems you understand. Everything I teach you will help you improve something about yourself. In this case, it will be your movement. Dancing will help you find new ways to move around in unpredictable ways and help you feel a better rhythm in battle."

"Rhythm?" Izuku repeated curiously.

"The rhythm you'll be learning won't be around musical sounds, it will be around the rhythm of fighting. You see, understanding the rhythm of a battle helps you understand the battle itself. You learn the pace your opponent is fighting at, learning if they're aggressive or passive, learning the pace of your own fighting, and so much more. Dancing helps you understand rhythm better, not to mention that it even helps you learn other methods of fighting, which is why I redeem it as important."

"I've never thought about dancing like that." Izuku said in awe.

"This isn't exactly new information, have you ever heard about capoeira?"

"Eh? Never heard of it..." Izuku said looking down as he thought about for a moment. He then looked up again "Please tell me!" He said excitingly.

"Good to see you enthusiastic about this." Enso lifted a finger up. "Capoeria is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music in order to perform complex maneuvers and swinging kicks, often involving hands on the ground as you saw just now. It focuses more on movements rather than any stances to fight, so you could implement anything you learn into any fight and in any way you wish."

He saw Izuku scribbling madly in his notebook.

"When did you even-? You know what? Never mind. Are you ready to start?"

Izuku closed his notebook and tossed it to his backpack, landing perfectly on top of it.

"Yes sir!" He shouted with a pumped fist.

"Good, now let's get started." Enso said as he shuffled his legs once more.

"I'll do my best!"

____________________________________________

~{Next Day of School}~

Izuku and Momo blinked as they saw a crowd of reporters surrounding the U.A gates, asking nearly every student that was going in about how was All Might as a teacher, the questions ranged from how his class was, to how he acted.

"The media can be scary sometimes..." Izuku sweatdropped.

"We're going to have to get through them..." Momo sighed.

"Oh boy."

The two had to force their way through the reporters asking them dozens of questions, apologizing and saying that they had to get to class.

Enso didn't even both going through the entrance, he snuck over the wall the moment the saw the crowd of reporters. It was a good thing that he had his U.A card on him, otherwise, the alarms would've been blazing the moment he jumped.

"It'd be a bad idea for me to appear on the media."

However, landing on the top of the wall, he noticed someone who looked rather odd hanging around the back of the reporters. He wore a long-sleeve black shirt along with black pants and red shoes. He had bushy blue hair, but Enso couldn't see his face clearly because of the way his face was shadowed under the light.

"Hm..." He heard the warning bell ring, forcing Enso to jump over and hurry to his class.

In homeroom now, Aizawa stood at the podium looking scruffy as always.

"Good work on yesterday's combat exercise. I saw all the videos and results."

He glanced over at the blonde ticking time bomb, "Bakugo, you're a talented kid, but don't let it go over your head. You nearly ended another student's hero career, be more careful next time."

Bakugo looked down, "I know..."

"And Midoriya." Aizawa called out.

Izuku flinched, "Y-Yes!?"

"I've heard from All Might that you unlocked a new aspect of your quirk, but you weren't in control while using it. Just like Bakugo, you could've ended his life as well, but you did end up critically injuring him. Make it a personal assignment for you to figure out how to activate that part of your quirk and master it."

"Y-Yes sir..." Izuku said in some shame, thinking about the words, 'could've ended his life'.

"Now, since we've gone over that, I have something important for you all to do. I'll have you-"

"Take another special test!?" the whole class turned blue.

"-decide on a class representative." Aizawa finished.

"It's actually a normal school activity..." Everyone sighed in relief.

But then they immediately started shouting.

"I wanna be the class rep! Pick me!" Kirishima shouted.

"Me too!" Kaminari shouted.

"I wanna do it." said the short-purple haired girl with earphone jack earlobes.

"LET ME DO IT! ME!" Bakugo shouted with white eyes and rising out of his chair.

Izuku nervously looked around the room, "Everyone really wants to be the class rep..."

"Silence, please!" Iida shouted, getting the attention of the entire class. He put a hand into a fist, "Being the class representative is a job with a serious responsibility of leading others!"

"So loud... But he's right you know." Enso said as he placed his head in his hand, looking down at a book he was reading.

Everyone turned to him.

"You can't do the job just because you want to, you have to know that you'll have a burden of responsibility with it. So don't take the job if you, or others, clearly know that you aren't good enough for it." He finished.

"Precisely! If we really wish to elect a suitable leader for the class, then-" Iida raised his hand up, "-I propose we hold an election to choose one!"

"An election?" Kaminari uttered out.

"But we haven't known each other for that long." Tsuyu said with a finger to her chin.

"Wouldn't everyone just vote for themselves?" Kirishima asked.

"I won't, so no matter what, someone is going to have two votes."

The moment Enso said this, everyone had a blank look on their faces.

"Heeeeeeeeeeyy buddy!" Mineta said, trying to casually get near the boy.

"No."

Mineta turned black and white in shock, falling over to the floor.

"Just hurry up and choose someone by the time homeroom ends." Aizawa said as he zipped up his yellow sleeping bag and landed onto the floor.

"If you all really want what's best for the class, then you'll all vote for someone you really think is suitable enough for the position." Enso remarked, still not looking up from his book.

Everyone turned to one another rather awkwardly, wondering what to do.

"Vote for... someone else?" Izuku thought in his head.

He instinctively turned his gaze over to Momo, who also gazed over at him at the same time.

Both were surprised to see the other staring across the room, but it seemed that they both had the same thought, but to opposite people.

They both smiled.

Election Results

1st) Izuku Midoriya- 5

2nd) Momo Yaoyorozu- 3

"Despite what I said, nearly all of you voted for yourselves..." Enso sighed in disappointment.

"I got five votes!?!" Izuku shouted in shock, even shooting up from his seat.

"Who the fuck voted for that nerd!?" Bakugo shouted as he also shot out of his seat.

He shot a glare over at Enso.

"I didn't vote for him." Enso responded before he even asked.

"You didn't!?" A few people exclaimed in shock, including Izuku himself.

"So the class representative will be Midoriya, with Yaoyorozu as the vice representative." Aizawa said when Momo and Izuku stood in the front of the room.

Izuku nervously shivered next to Momo, who looked down at the boy with a smile.

"I'm not surprised." She declared to him.

"I-I am... I-I think you would be a much better class rep than me..." Izuku said as he turned to her.

"Well, four people and I think otherwise."

"Heh, even though I voted for you, you just voted for me back?" Izuku asked just to make sure.

"Of course." Momo proudly responded. "Although..." She looked around the room rather curiously. "I wonder, who were the other two that voted for me?"

Enso flipped a page in his book.

_________________________________________________

~{Lunchtime}~

"Okay, be honest with me, where did you go during the previous lunchtimes?" Izuku asked Enso, who was sitting next to him.

"Hm? Oh, I challenged Lunch Rush to a cook-off."

"You did something that dangerous!?!" Their table shouted with widened eyes.

"Didn't you listen to how unmatched his culinary skills are!?" Iida shouted, chopsticks in one hand and doing a karate-chopping motion with the other.

"That's why I challenged him." Enso said before putting a chunk of rice in his mouth.

"Well, how'd it go?" Ochako asked curiously.

"Well, do you recall the recent boar curry with roasted chilies and bamboo shoot that was added on the menu?"

"Ah, yes. It was quite a sudden surprise to see a new menu item so soon after school started. The bamboo shoot was quite a surprise to see with the curry too." Momo answered.

"Well, he found it impressive enough to add it." Enso explained.

"Really!? You must be an amazing cook to impress Lunch Rush!" Izuku exclaimed in amazement.

"Not particularly. You just have to know what you're doing."

"Ayyy!! Enso!" On cue, Lunch Rush slid right to their table and pat the emotionless boy on the shoulder. "Seems like a lot of people like the new menu item you showed me! Maybe you should quit being a hero and become a chef to work with me!" he joked.

"No thanks."

"You didn't have to answer so fast..." Lunch Rush sweatdropped. But he immediately cheered up, "But hey! Feel free to come by if you ever wanna learn something from me! You still have a long way to go after all to be like me!" He said, giving the boy a thumbs up.

"I'll... consider it." Enso responded, still not looking up from his food.

"Good to know! I look forward to seeing you in the kitchen again!" Lunch Rush exclaimed, sliding away as fast as he came.

The group just stared at Enso awkwardly.

"Well, that was..." Ochako started.

"...interesting." Izuku finished.

They were quiet for a moment before Enso changed the subject.

"So Izuku, how do you feel becoming the class representative?"

Izuku suddenly became rather nervous thinking about it, "I-I still can't believe that I got five votes from the class... I wonder why they decided to vote for me."

"Well, you already know three of the votes, Uraraka, Iida, and yourself."

"B-But I didn't even vote for myself, me and Momo both voted for each other." Izuku awkwardly laughed.

"Same thing, you both got a vote."

"Actually, that reminds me Enso, if you didn't vote for Izuku, then who did you vote for?" Momo asked him.

"You." Enso didn't hesitate.

"Me?! Really?!" Momo asked in shock.

"Well, I already knew that Izuku would win, so I simply went with the person I believed he should work with and is equally suited for the second position."

"I didn't know you thought highly of me..." Momo smiled.

"Well, you left a good impression on me by how much Izuku spoke about you all the time."

Izuku blushed, "H-Hey!"

"If I hadn't seen everything Midoriya had done up to this point, then I would've most likely voted for Yaoyorozu as well..." Iida declared.

"I mean, after Deku saved me and how cool he looked during the hero training, I felt like I just had to vote for him." Ochako smiled.

Izuku's eyes looked down in embarrassment, "Th-Thank you..."

"But then who were the other two votes from?" Momo pointed out.

"Um..." Izuku didn't know.

"Oh! That was us!"

Izuku turned right to see a pair of yellow eyes looking at him, although just a few inches from his face. He back up in shock, "M-Mina!?"

Mina grinned, "Heya Midori!"

"I'm here too!" Hagakure cheerfully said from behind them. Both of them holding a tray of food in their hands.

"Could we sit down?" Mina asked them.

"S-Sure!" Izuku uttered out, scooting over to make room for them.

Upon sitting down, Enso asked, "So you were the other two that voted for Izuku?"

"Yup! That was us! I kind of wanted to the job myself, but after remembering how Midori took the lead during our battle exercise yesterday, I knew that he would be better for the job!" Mina declared.

"I could see why Ashido would vote for him but..." Ochako turned to Hagakure, "What about you?"

"Well, I didn't really wanna become the class rep, and after hearing Mina vote for Midori, I just decided to vote for him too!"

"She calls him Midori as well?" Ochako and Momo both thought with blank stares.

"Have you noticed that most of the people who call you different nicknames are girls?" Enso sarcastically asked at the moment.

"Oooo! Midori! Quite the ladies man are you?" Hagakure teased.

Izuku choked on his drink, coughing repeatedly with his eyes turning watery.

"Midoriya!" Iida immediately proceeded to repeatedly karate chop the boy's back to help him.

"Good job." Enso rolled his eyes.

"Whoops." Hagakure said.

After recovering from his sudden choking, Izuku tried to speak, "U-Um, I wouldn't *cough*, r-really say it like that. *cough*, *cough* I mean, K-Kacchan calls me Deku and Enso calls me Izuku. *cough* As for the other guys... I-I haven't really talked much with them, so of course, they *cough* don't call me other names."

"Why did I cause this?" Enso sighed, facepalming.

Ochako changed the subject once more, "You know, I've been thinking, are you a rich boy Iida?"

Iida seemed surprised by this sudden question out of nowhere, "What makes you assume that?"

"Well, you always talk so formally and kind of give off that rich vibe." She explained.

Iida cleared his throat, "I wouldn't consider myself rich, but my family has been heroes for generations, so we've been financially well."

"Really!? What kind of heroes are they!?" Izuku asked in excitement.

Iida adjusted his glasses, "Do you know the Turbo hero, Ingenium?"

"Yeah! He's a really popular hero who has 65 sidekicks working at his Tokyo agency!" Izuku formed a look of realization, "Don't tell me-!?"

Iida nodded, "He is my older brother!"

"Really!? Cool!" Mina blurted out.

"You must be proud to have such an older brother." Momo added.

Iida proudly put his hands to his hips, "Indeed! He is a very likable hero who honors the rules and has the qualities to lead people!"

"I see! So that's why you always act so strict and formal!" Ochako said in realization.

"Yes! I set my sights on becoming a true hero because I wish to be like my brother! To honor my family name and make him, with the rest of my family, proud!" he stated.

Enso's eyes went from his plate of food up to Iida, a more serious look than usual on his face. "So... Then the reason you wanted to become a hero was merely so you could be just like your older brother? To make your family proud and keep up your lineage of heroes?"

Iida and the others looked curiously over at Enso, noticing the small change in his voice.

"Yes, I do wish to be a hero to live up to his name, but it is still too soon for me to lead others." He stated.

Enso looked slightly disappointed, looking down at his food and using his chopsticks to pick at it. "Can you really become a hero that your brother can be proud of with that kind of mindset?"

It was as if the rest of the world surrounding the table was cut off, leaving the small group in silence and shocked by Enso's response.

"What... are you implying by that?" Iida asked, a much more serious expression on his face.

"I mean, could you truly claim that your aiming to become a 'true hero' when you aren't even thinking about the one thing a true hero would prioritize in for becoming hero in the first place?" Enso asked differently.

"And what would that goal be?" Iida asked him.

"If you don't know it already, then what does that tell you about yourself?" Enso said, putting a slab of rice in his mouth.

Mina pouted and stood up in her seat, putting her hands on her hips and looking rather annoyed, "Are you judging him for wanting to make someone else proud?!"

"I'm not really judging him specifically. I'm just pointing out flaws in his reasoning to become a true hero."

Mina pointed at him, "Oh yeah!? Then what's your reason for becoming a hero!?"

Izuku started to sweat nervously, "I don't even know how he's gonna answer this, but it might not be good!"

Enso glanced up at her, "I-"

A sudden alarm bell rung throughout the entire cafeteria, suddenly getting the attention of all the students.

"Nani!?" Someone shouted in panic.

"There has been a level 3 security breach, all students please evacuate outdoors promptly!" The announcement speaker declared.

"Whats a level 3 security breach?" Iida asked someone near him.

"It means that someone is trespassing on school grounds! There hasn't ever been anything that's happened like this before in the three years I've been here!" The boy yelled.

"Not in three years?" Momo repeated in shock.

Enso's eyes widened as his mind immediately flashed an image of the blue-haired man he had seen near the entrance this morning. "Is it-?"

"Run!" Someone else shouted.

Everyone ran for the exits, desperately trying to leave the area as fast as possible and not even caring if they bumped into one another, resulting in a huge crowd of people cramming near the exit.

Izuku felt himself getting crushed between two people larger than him.

"O-Ow! E-Excuse me!" He managed to force himself between those people and tried to move to the side, before then getting pushed around again.

"Damn it! Everyone is so quick that it's causing a panic!"

"Ow!" Izuku suddenly felt someone fall against him.

"S-Sorry-!" He looked down to see Ochako right in front of him. "Ochako!? Are you alright!" he shouted over the people, trying his best to use his own body to shield the girl.

"I-I'm fine Deku, just-!" At that moment, even more people forced the two even closer together, resulting in Ochako's chest to push up against Izuku's.

He instantly felt their softness and erupted in red, "B-B-B-!"

Ochako turned as adorably red as the boy, looking up at him with an equally embarrassing face. "S-S-Sorry! I'll try to move-!"

They couldn't even catch a break as more burly people tried to push through them, resulting in the two of them moving to the side together. Izuku's back was forced against the wall and Ochacko's body pressed even closer to him, her face becoming mere inches from Izuku's.

They both stared into each other's eyes in pure red for a brief moment before the two turned their faces to opposite directions.

"SOMEONE SAVE ME PLEASE!!" Izuku screamed in his head.

Iida was forcefully pushed up against the window, trying to stay put and look through it.

"Who in the world would even trespass into U.A!?" His eyes widened as in the distance, he saw a crowd of many people around Aizawa and Present Mic, "The press!?"

Iida turned his head, "It's only the press everyon-!" but before he could even finish, someone pushed his face right against the glass window, interrupting his sentence. "Urk!"

He continued to get swept away in the crowd.

"Damn it, I have to find a way to tell everyone not to panic!"

His eyes looked around the area for any sort of idea, wondering what he could do.

"Hey!" Iida heard someone yell.

"Excuse me." A familiar voice said.

"What the hell!?" Another voice cried out.

"Sorry about that." The same familiar voice apologized.

"Huh?" Iida managed to turn his head behind him to see Enso jumping from person to person, using their heads as platforms to jump forward, all while apologizing for each person he stepped on.

"He's getting across to the exit like that!? How rude! He should at least try to-!" Iida then came to a realization, looking forward and above the exit sign, knowing that it would be perfect to get everyone's attention. "I see!"

Iida pushed himself above some people, "Enso!" he shouted, raised both of his hands up and open.

Enso saw him as he jumped in the air and knew exactly what to do. Upon landing on one more person, he leaped forward and performed a flip right onto Iida's hands.

Iida felt his arms get forcefully pushed down due Enso's weight, but he mustered enough strength to extend his arms back up to work as a spring, slightly curving to basically throw Enso forward again. "Go!"

He watched as Enso leaped all the way above the exit sign with that one jump and stuck his hands out, grabbing onto a long blue pipe above.

"There we go." Enso then yanked himself up and stood atop the pole, balancing himself on it and facing the crowd of people below.

While forcing his head to look away from Ochako's adorable face, Izuku had seen Enso fly over everyone and onto the pole. "What is he doing?"

Enso took a deep breath and closed his eyes, saying something no one else could hear over the commotion.

"Legendary Style- Reaper Of Worlds."

The moment Enso opened his eyes, his entire demeanor changed.

A black aura surrounded him and his eyes flashed red, lighting up the entire area and getting everyone's attention immediately.

The moment everyone's eyes laid upon Enso, they felt their skin crawl, they recoiled back, and their bodies started to shiver.

Enso had a rather menacing glare looking down upon everyone, red eyes shining bright enough to give the hall a shade of blood-red. The immense amount of pressure he gave off had everyone completely frozen in fear, including Iida himself.

"Wh-What is this? H-He's giving off such an intimidating look with just a stare!"

Momo's hands went closer to her chest, eyes widened, "That look of his... Why does it seem so... threatening?!"

Izuku looked to be the most terrified by it, not from the gaze itself, but rather, knowing exactly what kind of gaze that was, what it meant.

"That's the look of pure murderous intention."

Enso spoke, his voice echoing through the completely silent hall.

"The trespassers are nothing more than the media coming in, so there's no need for you all to push, trample, or hit each other aside to save your own lives. To think that you're all trying to be heroes, yet you're demonstrating this chaotic behavior. You know how many people are hurt just because of all of you?"

A few people looked around at each other, seeing some bruises on people's faces and others holding their arms or hands in some pain.

Enso pointed down at all of them. "You're all supposed to be aiming to become heroes, so act-like-it."

He then crossed his arms, "Head back to your classes, now."

The black aura around Enso disappeared and his eyes become less menacingly red, to which he then jumped down and landed on an open space that people made, backing up from intimidation.

Upon landing, he slightly bowed. "Good day."

And with that, he left through the exit as if nothing had happened, people making space for him to pass through as he did.

"What even was that?" Nearly everyone in the cafeteria thought, still shaking from the intimidating gaze from before.

Izuku and Ochako were both staring so intently at Enso that they forgot how close their bodies were pressing together. Turning their heads, their noses touched and brought them back to the realization of how close they were.

"Ah!" They jumped back from each other, Ochako did at least. Still being at the wall, when Izuku tried to jump back, he slammed his head right on the wall, ending up in him crouching on the floor clutching it.

"Ow, ow, ow..."

"S-Sorry!" Ochako apologize, crouching down next to him.

Iida looked down, his hands clenching into fists.

Enso continued to pass people as he made his way back to class, going up the stairs and to another hall that was nearly empty.

"Seems that the intimidation worked..." He thought with a small sigh. "But I had to go into... 'that style' to do it."

He then heard the sounds of footsteps running towards him, prompting him to turn around.

He saw Izuku catch up to him, breathing deeply with a comedic red bump on his head as he stopped next to him.

"Enso *huff*..." The boy panted.

"What is it?"

Izuku gulped nervously, "What... What was that?"

"What do you mean?"

Izuku stood tall and caught his breath, "I-I mean that look..."

"It was simply a method of intimidation to get them all in order."

Izuku shook his head side to side, "No, it wasn't just that. That look you had in your eyes, i-it... it was-"

"Threatening?" Enso finished for him.

"Y-Yeah." Izuku looked down nervously, "A-As if y-you would... k-ki-"

"Don't finish that." Enso interrupted, making Izuku flinch.

He sighed and put a hand to his hip. "I know what you're thinking, but did you really think that I was going to permanently end the careers of all those students just because they were in a panic? That look I made was, of course, intimidating with the sense of murderous intent just to make sure they'd listen. You already know what I've done before, so it shouldn't come as a shock to you that I have a look like that."

Izuku looked down in shame, "Y-Yeah... B-But was that... another style?"

Enso was quiet for a brief moment, then looking down. "Not one that you'll ever see used for it's intended purpose..."

"Intended purpose?" Izuku thought, gulping nervously. "O-Okay... Th-Then one more thing."

"What? Class will start soon." Enso said impatiently.

"We still have a few more minutes left." Izuku took a deep breath, "Did you have to be so harsh on Iida's reason for being a hero? Wanting to be a hero for someone else isn't a bad thing. You shouldn't judge him on that." He said with a serious look on his face.

Enso narrowed his eyes, "I wasn't necessarily judging him, but I've learned from your beliefs and All Might's that a true hero is someone who prioritizes in saving others, so if the number one hero believes this, then each true hero should have the quality of self-sacrifice. Or so I believe."

He crossed his arms.

"As far as I could tell from Iida, he doesn't seem to realize the meaning of being a true hero. He's only thinking about his family, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not exactly a 'true hero' path. Pointing out those things about him will help lead him to realize what kind of hero he'll become. If he remains as he currently is, then he'll compare everything he does to his brother, even making choices based on what he thinks his brother would do. If he doesn't learn how to think in a way that doesn't involve his brother, then there will clearly be problems reflecting in his hero actions. Taking some inspiration from his brother is alright, but he can't make his whole reason for becoming a hero or make choices of a hero based on everything his brother would do."

"He's actually trying to help Iida?" Izuku thought, wondering if those were his intentions.

Izuku rubbed the back of his head, unsure of what to say now, "J-Just try to keep those types of thoughts to yourself. If you just keep saying everything that's on your mind, then people may start to think negatively of you."

Enso looked down to the ground and turned his back to Izuku, "But I don't plan to stay here anyway..."

With that, he made his way back to the classroom, leaving Izuku alone in the hall with a sad look on his face.

"Don't plan to stay, huh?"

________________________________________________

For the rest of the school day, Izuku and a few others noticed a change in Iida's character. The boy looked less serious than he usually did and appeared rather down as he worked on school things, even lacking some energy during the hero lessons class.

Izuku and the rest of the people at his table knew why Iida was acting this way, based upon what they've heard during lunch.

"I knew it... What Enso said is bothering him..."

Izuku looked farther in the back at Enso writing on a worksheet that the class was given, not giving the others in the room much thought.

"I have to talk to him again." Izuku thought with a serious look.

Now after school, Izuku quickly packed away his stuff and stood up, turning back, "Enso, we need to- WHY ARE YOU GOING THROUGH THE WINDOW!?!"

"See you tomorrow." Enso said right before jumping out.

"W-Wait!" Izuku rushed to the window and looked down, seeing Enso already naruto running across the courtyard and towards the walls.

"Why'd he take the window this time?" Momo asked rather confusingly as she walked next to Izuku.

Izuku sighed and looked down in disappointment. "Who knows?..." He sweatdropped.

Izuku then looked back and saw Iida gone from his seat, "Eh? Where did Iida go?"

"I saw him head out rather quickly, kero. Did something happen?" Tsuyu asked.

Izuku looked down rather sad.

~{Outside}~

Iida walked down the sidewalk as the sun started to set, looking rather depressed with his head down. There had been one thing he had been thinking about ever since lunch, and those were Enso's words.

"Can you really become a hero that your brother can be proud of with that kind of mindset?"

"I mean, could you truly claim that you're aiming to become a 'true hero' when you aren't even thinking about the one thing a true hero would prioritize for becoming a hero in the first place?"

"If you don't know it already, then what does that tell you about yourself?"

Iida sighed, "Am I really going off the path of becoming a hero? Just what is Enso thinking..."

He then saw some leaves fall in front of his path and heard rustling from above, prompting him to look up, "Hm?"

"Good afternoon Iida." Enso said with a blank look on his face, hanging upside-down from a tree branch.

"Enso!? What are you doing in the tree!?!" Iida shouted, taken aback by his absurd presence.

"I was following you and determined that the best way to get your attention was from up here."

"What kind of thinking got you to that conclusion?! Get down from there!" Iida shouted with a karate-chopping motion.

Enso dropped down while still upside-down, landing on his hands and into a perfect handstand. He then slightly bent his arms and pushed himself into the air, spinning back onto his feet.

"You should respect the tree and all life on it! What if you knocked down a nest!?" Iida scolded him.

"On the contrary, I just fixed a nest and raised it up higher."

Iida looked up and saw a nest strongly structured at the top.

"I see..." He adjusted his glasses, focusing on Enso once more. "But what are you doing here?"

"As I've said before, I was following you."

"But for what reason?" Iida asked, looking serious after remembering what Enso said to him earlier in the day.

"I never properly thanked you."

"Eh?" Iida looked surprised.

"You helped me get to the top of that exit sign to inform everyone that it was only the media that came in."

Iida looked down, not looking proud, "But... You would've gotten up there regardless if I helped you..."

"Yes, I would've."

Iida sweatdropped.

But Enso continued. "However, you made it far easier for me to get up there without needlessly stepping on other people's heads and hurting them. You realized quickly that it was only the media and acted to help me by letting me use your hands as a platform to reach up. So... Thanks."

Iida's look was what some would say... baffled. After what Enso had told him during lunch today, he wasn't expecting him to suddenly say something as he did just now.

"What are you planning?"

Enso tilted his head, "Hm? What do you mean?"

"I highly doubt that you came all the way here just to thank me."

Enso was momentarily quiet for a moment, him and Iida staring right at each other.

He then rubbed the back of his head, "Listen, I don't like misunderstandings, so I wish to clear something up with you." He then pointed a finger at Iida. "What I said to you during lunch wasn't an insult, it was advice."

Iida raised an eyebrow, "Advice?"

Enos nodded, "I wasn't criticizing you on why you became a hero (even if I don't really approve of your reason), I was trying to warn you."

"Warn me of what?"

Enso crossed his arms, "Do you really think your brother wants you to be a hero just to continue your family name?"

Iida looked down, "That's..."

"How far have you gone to try and be like your brother? Knowing you and judging by what you've said about him before, then there's no doubt that you've tried to mimic every single move he's done in hopes of becoming like him."

Iida flinched.

"So it really is like that, huh?" Enso sighed, "I would know, because I know another idiot trying to become someone he's not..."

Iida looked up at him, "Who could he be referring too?..."

He continued, "Iida, if your brother really is such an amazing hero as you said, then what do you think he truly wants you to do? Why did he really become a hero?"

Iida came to a realization and glanced up at Enso, looking rather shocked and suddenly remembering something about his brother, words specifically.

"Well, our grandfather and parents were all heroes, so I was expected to be a hero by those around me. Anyway, it's simple really. If someone sees a lost child, they take the child to the service counter for lost children. I think people like that are the coolest.

Iida formed a small smile as he thought about the meaning of his brother's words, speaking out loud. "He would want me to do what I think is right, to do what I know is right."

"Then work based off that, don't try to mimic your brother's every action and don't think that becoming a true hero is based on becoming exactly like your brother, because it isn't. Find your own goal, find out what it really means to be a true hero."

Iida raised a hand to his head in a salute manner, now more energetic "I see! I am sorry for thinking about so many negative thoughts about you!"

"Just what were you thinking of me?" Enso wondered.

"I'll make sure to work even harder! Thank you for your words of encouragement!"

"I wouldn't say that I encouraged him... I just needed him to realize just what kind of goals a true hero should have, such as how Izuku and All Might think... I hoped that having Iida compare himself to his brother would him realize the quality of self-sacrifice he needs, but I'm not really sure if he realized that."

"Well, goodbye then." Enso partially waved.

"Goodbye! I will see you tomorrow!" Iida shouted before marching off proudly.

Enso watched him walk down the sidewalk, "Well, it's a start at least."

He turned around to leave but a familiar principal's head peeking out from around the corner.

"Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" He stared.

Enso sweatdropped, "You followed me?"

The short principal stepped out of the corner and walked over to Enso with a grin. "I heard what you did during lunch today and wished to speak to you about it, but I didn't expect you to see actually helping out another student out of the kindness of your heart."

"You know as well as I do that I wouldn't come to help him out just to be nice." Enso responded.

"Oh? You can't possibly be implying that you're trying to get on better terms with him just to hopefully recruit his help one day?"

"He's one of the stronger students among the class, his help would be appreciated." He turned back and glanced over the path Iida had taken, "But only if he realizes just what are his owns problems and how he could become a true hero closer to All Might's standing."

"Please stop think about using my students..." Nezu sweatdropped.

"They could help you know..." He turned back and looked down at Nezu, "But you came to talk to me about lunch time?" Enso asked, getting back to what Nezu was originally going to talk to him about.

Nezu looked rather serious now, "First, I would like to thank you for helping calm down the situation. Second, I wish to warn you."

"Warn me?" Enso repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Why am I getting a sense of deja vu?"

Nezu nodded, "We checked on how the media was able to get in. Turn's out, the front gate's doors had literally been crumbled down."

"So you're saying that someone purposely did this and used the media to slip in?"

"We don't know for sure if someone evil slipped in or if it was a declaration of war, but either way, I have a bad feeling about it. Did you see anyone suspicious among the media this morning when you came to school?"

Enso's mind immediately flashed to the person in blue hair he saw in the morning, narrowing his eyes at the thought. "I saw someone suspicious in the back of the media. He had short blue hair with a long black shirt, black pants, and red shoes, but I couldn't see his facial features."

Nezu made a note on it, "I see. Thank you for the valuable information. I'll be sure to inform the teachers to look out for such a person." He bowed.

Enso stared down at him before asking, "Nezu, do you believe something might happen?"

Nezu looked up to him, "Yes, someone clearly instigated this, so I can't help but think that someone is planning something from the shadows."

"I see..."

"Enso, I'm to say this and expect you to comply."

Enso narrowed his eyes. "What is it?"

"No matter what happens, prioritize in saving the students."

Enso sighed, "I know that already..."

"As a hero should." Nezu chuckled.

"You're still going on with that? I'm not here to become a hero."

"You say that, but I still have faith that you will." Nezu smiled.

A sudden limousine drifted around the corner and caught the attention of Enso, eyeing it curiously as it sped up and screeched to a halt right next to the sidewalk near Nezu.

Nezu simply turned around and smiled, "Ah! My ride is here!" he said cheerfully.

"What in the world?" Enso thought as he examined the completely black and expensive-looking limousine.

Nezu opened the passenger door and hopped in, then scooting a bit and patting a spot next to him.

"Need a ride?"

"No thank you, I feel much safer here."

He just laughed it off, "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then!"

He closed the passenger seat and the limo sped off into the sunset, leaving Enso at the sidewalk with an unamused look on his face.

He placed his hands into his pockets and started walking.

"Tomorrow... Why does that bother me?"

Little did he, or anyone else of the school know, but tomorrow for Class 1-A's hero lesson class, they would meet one of their most threatening villains ever.
