"Remember you have a week until the sports festival starts, so be sure to get ready for that! There should still be enough time for you to go and eat something if you rush. You're all dismissed!" Aizawa said, officially ending the representative meeting.

Many students got up from their seats and ran out of the room to make it to lunch, but others like Izuku and Momo simply got up slow and steady as they thought about the festival coming up.

"Let's go get some burgers!" Nezu exclaimed as he and Cementoss exited the room.

"Phew, why did we have to have a sudden meeting at lunch?" Kendo sighed as she stood up from her seat.

"We had to obtain these permission slips for our classes to give students enough time to get them filled out by parents. Deciding a representative to give a speech was just something else they decided to do on the spot." Monoma said as he got up and stretched his arms.

"Izuku, you haven't even lunch yet correct?" Momo asked him.

He realized, "I-I didn't!"

"Then I'll take these permission slips back to our class, I already ate after all." Momo smiled.

"Thank you very much!" Izuku bowed down to her.

"To think that the male of class A would make the female carry those heavy documents... how despicable!" Monoma remarked.

"Could you at least say that after you take some of these?" Kendo sweatdropped as she carried a stack of papers. She then dropped them in Monoma's hands, making the boy stumble in them. "Take these back for me, would you?"

"Wha-!? What are you gonna do?" Monoma cried out.

"I haven't eaten lunch yet either. I'm gonna go." She turned to Izuku, "Can I come with you?"

"S-Sure."

Monoma was shocked, "You're gonna go with a class A stu-ouch!" he was interrupted by Kendo knocking him onto the head.

"Be nice Monoma." She told him with a partially serious look.

"Tsk!" Monoma turned his head away and left the classroom.

"Sorry about him." Kendo sighed.

"No problem. I'll be heading back as well." Momo said, getting out of the room and turning left to get back to class.

"Well, let's go Midoriya." Kendo said, turning to him with a smile.

Izuku nodded, "Right."

They both left the classroom and went into the hall, passing by many students chatting amongst themselves.

"Do you know what's for lunch today?" Kendo asked him.

"Um, I believe that one of my classmates said that it was Nato and Hamburgers."

Kendo raised an eyebrow and partially tilted her head, "Really? Not what I would expect."

"I think Lunch Rush is sick today, that's the reason." Izuku explained.

"Oh okay. I guess that makes sense." The girl said, then remaining momentarily silent.

Izuku snuck a look at her, "She kind of gives that same mature aura as Momo, but from what I've seen from her during our first meeting, she acts more of a big sister watching over Monoma all the time."

"Hey, Midoriya?"

Izuku flinched, "Y-Yes!"

Kendo turned to him and rubbed the back of her head rather embarrassingly, "Sorry about the things that Monoma says. Other than his negative feelings for Class A, he's a pretty good person."

"But, why doesn't he like my class?"

They got to the stairs and started walked down slowly.

"Because he thinks that everyone is treating you guys like the best future heroes from taking on the villains that invaded USJ. He honestly thinks that some students from my class should be in Class A instead and vice versa." She explained.

"I mean, does being in a class A or B really show how strong of a hero you are?"

Kendo rolled her eyes, "Monoma seems to think so."

She then stopped at the stairs.

"But... Sometimes I think that's the case too."

Izuku stopped and was rather surprised to hear her say that.

She turned back at him, "I mean, your class has the top three students that scored the highest at the entrance exam."

"Yeah... We do." Izuku said, looking somewhat uncomfortable with the realization.

"Yeah, so because of that and the recent USJ event, now everyone is thinking, 'oh, class A must be better than class B, they fought villains and have the best students.' I hear it now and then. My class can get bummed out about it sometimes."

Izuku looked somewhat ashamed, "So everyone is just judging our classes by that."

Kendo formed a small smile and waved her hand, "Sorry, I'm just rambling aren't I? Let's just go get lunch."

She turned and hopped down the rest of the stairs, but Izuku kept still as he thought about the judgment of their classes.

He clenched his hand into a fist and formed a determined, yet also nervous look on his face.

"Itsuka!"

"Eh?" She turned to him rather caught off guard.

He quickly stepped down the rest of the stairs and got in front of her.

"I have no doubt that your class is amazing! The class letters shouldn't matter when looking at who's strong! It should be just based on showing you're strength to the world!"

"Um, okay?" Kendo said, feeling a little confused by his words.

"Sure my class went up against those villains, but now is your class' chance to show everyone what they can do! Tell them to do whatever they can to stand out! Tell them that if they really want to aim for the top, that if they feel as if they are being overshadowed, then they should get into the spotlight by giving their plus ultra-performance!"

Kendo remained silent with a look of wonder to the boy.

Izuku clenched a hand into a fist and held it in front of himself, eyes unwavering.

"Tell each person that they should show the world, 'I Am Here'!"

Kendo starred at Izuku with a bewildered expression, not having expected him to suddenly blurt out the things he did.

Her cheeks slightly puffed up as she covered her mouth.

"Pfft!"

Izuku turned black and white.

"She's laughing!?"

"S-Sorry." Kendo removed her hand. "I just didn't expect what Yaoyorozu said to be true. You really do call others by their first name immediately."

Izuku blinked as he processed what she said.

He then turned black and white in shock.

"I called her by her first name!"

Izuku looked down with his skin matching the red color of Kirishima's head from embarrassment. "S-S-Sorry! I-I-I didn't mean to... I-I was..."

Kendo noticed the boy's sense of humiliation and smiled, going up to him and patting his shoulder. "Hey. It's alright, you don't have to feel embarrassed, I think that habit of yours is kind of cute."

Izuku looked up at her, feeling even more nervous to see her closer.

"But what you said... It really means a lot to me."

"Eh?" Izuku blinked.

"I didn't know what type of person you were when I saw you as the class 1-A representative, but I feel relieved to know that... you're a really cool guy."

She closed her eyes and gave him a toothy smile.

Izuku turned around and fiddled his fingers, taken aback by her smile and praise. "Y-Y-You think so?"

Kendo chuckled, "I know so. You wouldn't discriminate anyone for what class they're put in or for what quirk they have, and from listening to you just now, I know that you would rather encourage people to do their best instead of finding ways to mess with them. You really care about others, don't you?"

Izuku awkwardly turned to her with his eyes looking up and rubbing the back of his head, "I-I've been told..."

"And Yaoyorozu was right, you really do get nervous easily! I never would've guessed that someone like you would be the person to one shot that robot!" She laughed.

"Why do I feel like she unintentionally insulted me?" Izuku sweatdropped.

"Come on! We've wasted enough time talking, let's go before they stop serving lunch!" Kendo said.

"Oh, right! We should probably hurry!"

Izuku followed Kendo at a fast pace, watching her from behind and thinking about one thing she said to him.

"You're a really cool guy!"

Izuku couldn't help but smile.

While moving, Kendo snuck glances back at Izuku, smiling at him and feeling more determined than ever about the upcoming festival.

"Don't worry Midoriya, my class will show you exactly what we can do!"

She noted the boy's small smile.

"He's... really nice." She couldn't help but feel a nice warmth as she thought this.

The two neared the corner of the hall, where Kendo passed by an opening to the left.

As Izuku near the opening, someone with purple hair walked out of it, but he was so close to her at this point to stop.

"Ah!"

"Gyah!"

Kendo stopped when she heard the sound of two people knock into each other, turning back to see Izuku and someone else on the ground.

"Are you guys alright?" Kendo asked as she rushed over to them.

"O-Ow." Izuku said as he rubbed his head. "S-Sorry..."

He looked ahead of him to see Kyouka Jiro sitting on the ground and rubbing her head as well.

"Who the hell-?" Jiro looked up with a pissed off glare to see who knocked into her, but she calmed down after seeing that it was only Izuku.

Izuku on the other hand, shook nervously from her glare.

"Kyoka!! I-I'm sorry! I didn't look where I was going!!!"

"Wait a minute? Kyoka?!" Jiro shouted with a small blush.

"AH! I DID IT AGAIN!" Izuku screamed in his head, realizing that he called her by her first name.

Izuku quickly got into a bowing position with his head down, "I-I'm sorry!! Force of habit!"

Jiro saw that the boy was really freaking out, helping her realize that he didn't mean anything bad by calling her by her first name.

"Geez, You don't have to freak out like that. I was only a little caught off guard." Jiro said as she got back to her feet.

Seeing Jiro already up, Kendo rushed to Izuku's side and helped pull him up.

"We were kind of in a hurry." Kendo said as Izuku swept his shirt of some dust.

"I felt how much of a hurry he was in." Jiro said as she rubbed her slightly red forehead.

"S-Sorry! Izuku uttered out.

Jiro turned to Kendo and raised an eyebrow, "You're... Class B's big sister, right? Kendo?"

"Big... sister?" Kendo repeated, looking slightly embarrassed by this.

"Yeah, you've really been looking out for your class a lot from what I've heard. Especially that one blonde guy who never seems to shut up."

"Dang it Monoma." Kendo sighed. "Sorry about him. I've been trying to make him nicer."

"It's cool, just don't be surprised if a certain explosive obsessed guy ends up blasting his lights out." Jiro warned.

"I'll... keep that in mind." Kendo said, already knowing who she was talking about.

"S-Sorry about running into you Jiro, w-we'll just be going now." Izuku uttered nervously, wishing to go get food.

"Oh, ok. See you in class."

Jiro started to stare intensely at the boy as he and Kendo passed by her, paying attention to just how nervous he was getting.

"Hold on." Jiro suddenly spoke.

Izuku flinched, slowly turning his head to her.

"U-Um, i-is something wrong?" Izuku asked, noticing her focused gaze.

"You're not mad are you?" Kendo asked her.

"No, no, I just want to talk to him about something. You guys don't mind, do you?"

Although she clearly didn't say it with any bad intentions, Izuku somehow felt himself shake nervously as if she had said that as a threat.

"I-I-I'm okay with it." He slowly turned to Kendo, "Y-You could go on without me."

Kendo nodded, "Alright, I'll pick something up for you." She then started walking off in the cafeteria, leaving Izuku and Jiro alone.

Izuku turned to her rather nervously, "S-So what did you want to talk about?"

Jiro could help but feel bothered by how tense he was, getting closer to him and narrowing her eyes, "Deku, there's something I don't get-"

Izuku flinched at that name, "D-D-Deku?"

"Oh, well I hear gravity girl and the ticking time bomb both call you that all the time, so I guess I the name stuck. There a problem?"

"W-Well... I-I guess i-it depends on what you mean, by it."

"What do you mean? I thought they both called you that because it was supposed to be ironic." Jirou asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I-Ironic?" Izuku repeated.

"Yeah, because it's supposed to mean 'useless' but it's ironic when people call you that because you're clearly not." She twirled her earlobe with her finger.

Izuku felt slightly happy hearing that from her.

"W-Well, that's not really how Kacchan, er Bakugo, means. He called me Deku as an insult ever since we were kids... As for Ochako, she calls me that because she thought it sounded like dekiru, meaning 'You can do it.'"

Izuku then realized, "Wait, y-you said that you thought it was meant to be ironic, so does that mean that you didn't mean to say Deku as an insult then?"

"Hey, I'm not an asshole, I wouldn't just call you that to be mean. But do you want me to stop calling you that?" She folded her arms.

Izuku flailed his hands in front of him, "W-Well, since y-you don't mean anything b-bad from that name, I-I guess you could call me that!" he stuttered.

Jirou then formed the same confused glare that she had before, causing Izuku to shake even more nervously.

"W-What?" he uttered out, turning his head left and right and avoiding eye contact with her.

"Back to what I was gonna ask before, why do you always seem so wimpy and timid, despite having all of that power and cool moments?"

Izuku focused his gaze onto her, "Wh-What do you mean?"

"You're getting nervous just by talking to me right now, yet you're a major powerhouse that saves anyone without hesitation. It's as if your whole personality changes when saving someone, but then you flinch the moment someone touches you." She said as she then poked Izuku on the shoulder.

He flinched.

"See?!" Jiro declared.

Izuku rubbed his head nervously, avoiding eye contact again. "U-Um, I-I don't really know how to explain that... Whenever I see someone in trouble, I always feel like I have to jump in and save them, no matter what happens. But when it comes to why I get so n-nervous sometimes, then I guess it would be because..." He looked down and fiddled with his fingers, "I-I got t-teased a lot when I was small..."

Jiro raised an eyebrow, detecting a small lie in that.

"Teased? Or bullied?"

Izuku flinched.

"You could just tell by reactions!" Jiro thought.

"Sorry..." she said.

"I-It's no problem..." Izuku muttered.

She rubbed the back of her head, "Was it Bakugo?"

"Eh?" Izuku didn't completely understand.

"Was it Bakugo who always picked on you? He's always angry at you and I've... heard a few things."

Izuku couldn't exactly lie, "H-He may have picked on me a bit..."

His voice trailed off.

"A bit?" Jiro narrowed her eyes.

Izuku flinched again, "M-Maybe more..."

Jiro stared at the nervous boy for a moment before moving her head closer to him.

"Hey, look at me."

Izuku lifted his head up and saw that Jiro had got uncomfortably close to him, although with a serious look on her face.

"Eep!"

He gulped nervously and turned a tinted red as he stared directly into her eyes.

Jiro poked his chest, "You need to man up, you can't just let Mr. explosive disorder push you around like that. You've got to show him that your not worthless and that he can't mess with you anymore. It doesn't matter what he did to you in the past, you're strong now, aren't you? So just prove him wrong. You gotta let him know that you don't want anything to do with him and to just leave you alone!"

She then backed up a bit, giving the boy some space.

Calming down a little, Izuku look rather gloomy.

"Well... I-Its not like I don't want anything to with Kacchan. To be honest, I've always admired him... He's strong, skillful, and full of ambition."

Jiro looked confused, "Wait a minute, you can't really be considering him a friend, are you?"

Izuku let out a small chuckle, "I... I hope we could be friends... I want to use the sports festival as a chance for me to finally show him how much stronger I've gotten. I want to show him that I'm going to rival him to become the number one hero, so he'll finally need to take me seriously and respect my strength."

Jirou was beyond confused, "He really still thinks of Bakugo as a friend, even after all the shit he put him through?"

She sighed, "Look, I'm not really one to get too much into other people's business, but just don't let Bakugo do what he wants against you, alright? If something bad happens to you because of him, then I'll make surer to personally come over and knock you on the side of your head and say 'I told you so'."

Izuku formed a small smile on his face, "Th-Thank you for the a-advice Jiro."

"Anytime, so anyway..." She eyed him. "So why are you still shaking exactly?"

Izuku flinched.

"Stop flinching!" Jiro suddenly scolded him.

"I'm sorry! I know I shouldn't be nervous, but I kind of found you a little... intimidating."

"Well, at least that explains why you're acting so wimpy right now."

Izuku felt a sting to his pride, "F-Fair enough... B-But now I could see that you're a really caring person, although pretty blunt. S-So... Could I talk to you again sometime? For advice?"

Jiro formed a small smirk, walking passed Izuku to get back to class. "Sure, but you're buying me a drink next time."

"S-Sure!" Izuku cheerfully said, watching her walk down the hallway.

Until she slipped on a piece of food on the ground left by lunch.

"Gah!" She fell facefirst forward with her butt sticking up.

Izuku got worried and moved towards her.

"Jiro are you alri-i-i-" He froze with widening eyes and an agape mouth as he saw Jiro's skirt flip up from the fall, seeing something he knew that he wasn't meant to see.

"Glittering purple with a vine-like design!?! Why is it-!? W-wait a minute! Th-There's no way that's what I think it is!"

He realized what he was thinking and turned his head away with a completely red head and buggy eyes, trying not to freak out from what he saw.

Jiro immediately shot up to her feet and basically slammed both of her hands to push her skirt down.

She didn't look back, but Izuku could see that she was shaking now.

"She doesn't think I saw, did she!?" Izuku turned around and looked in the opposite direction of the hall, trying to make it seem like he had his attention elsewhere at the time.

Despite that, he was still noticeably red and shaking.

He tried not to think about it, he really did, but he just never thought he would see someone wear something so... bold. It was a miracle that they were the only two students in the hall at the time, or it might've made things worse for Jiro.

The girl then spun in place to face Izuku's direction, although with her head down and shadows over her face.

"Act cool Izuku, act cool!" Izuku said, trying to keep calm.

Jiro then walked up right behind him and placed one hand on his shoulder.

"Deku..." She said in a threatening tone.

"EEP!" Izuku shivered as he felt her hand. He slowly turned his head to look back, "Wh-Wh-What is it-?"

He saw a menacing purple aura with a flash in her eyes.

"SCARY!"

"I-I saw nothing!" Izuku desperately shouted.

Hearing this, Jiro pushed him against the wall, keeping her right hand on his shoulder with her left leg against the wall on Izuku's other side to keep him from escaping.

The metal tips of her earphone-like earlobes dashed forward and stopped an inch from Izuku's eyes, shutting him up and making his skin crawl at the thought of getting punctured.

"I didn't even ask if you saw..."

Izuku turned black and white. "Crap! I think I just dug my own grave!"

"P-Please don't k-kill me." He whimpered, sweating intensely with his hands at his sides.

Jiro was silent for what felt like forever, almost as if she was planning what to do to the boy.

The first words that came out were unclear. "You... *mumble* didn't you?"

"E-Eh?" Izuku uttered, not picking up on that.

Jiro was slightly shaking as she spoke, "Y-You... saw..."

Izuku gulped, turning his head away, "S-Saw what?"

"Don't try to play dumb! I know you saw it! I could hear it in your heartbeat!" Jiro shouted.

"Jiro's earphone jacks are something to be feared!"

Izuku felt a chill in his spine when Jiro's earlobes followed his face, still hovering over his eyes.

"W-Well... I... S-Sort of..." Izuku started, but couldn't finish.

Jiro's grip on his shoulder tightened and her earlobes started to shake. "I knew it... You saw it. The l-li-li-li-" She struggled to get the word out.

"L-Lingerie?" Izuku instinctively finished.

She punctured the wall next to his head.

"EEK!!" He turned pale.

Izuku shut his eyes and desperately rambled, "I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to look! It was out of my control! I would've looked away if I could but I didn't know that was going to happen!"

Silence then overcame the two, the only movement being both Izuku and Jiro shaking.

Izuku just waited, fearing that if he said anything else, then it might literally come back to puncture him.

She then spoke.

"I-It's not what it looks like. I only wore this because... L-Look, I-I know that..." She tightened her grip again. "It doesn't suit me... I know that I'm not as... 'developed' or 's-sexy' like the other girls in the class... I-I just thought that..."

She got silent again.

"Wh-What? Y-You could tell me." Izuku tried to reassure her.

"Shut your mouth."

He flinched.

She then slightly raised her head to stare Izuku directly in the eyes, where the boy could finally see her adorably blushing cheeks and humiliated watery eyes.

"D-Don't you dare laugh, or..." Her earlobes shined in front of Izuku's eyes. "You're going to be blind for the rest of the day."

Izuku frantically nodded his head up and down.

Jiro then looked down again, shadowing her face again.

"I-I w-wore it... b-because I thought that... that I-I would help me feel more..."

She moved her head slightly closer, letting out one faint word.

"Attractive..."

"Eh?" Izuku momentarily lost all nervousness as he processed the reason.

"What do I say? I have no idea what to do now, but I know that if I don't say or do the right thing, then I'll end up blind. Think... should I just... be honest?"

Izuku's eyes glanced down at Jiro's figure, noticing her slender build and nice, short purple hair of hers. Her assets from her shirt were... modest, but in a way, it was rather appealing. Her skin looked rather smooth and with the way it turned in a clear shade of red from being embarrassed just made the girl look...

Adorable.

Izuku's head steamed.

"What am I doing eyeing her and thinking like this!?!" He turned his head to the side and forced himself to look away.

Jiro noticed this and used both of her hands to grab each side of Izuku's face, forcing his head to stare at her face, despite herself being so ashamed.

"See!? I knew it!! You're looking away! You're laughing aren't you!?!"

Izuku saw her earlobes move, scaring him to just spouting out everything he had just debated to say.

He closed his eyes and shouted.

"No! I'm not laughing! You're just too cute to look at!"

The moment he finished his sentence Jiro's earphone earlobes stopped.

There were a few students in the hallway coming back from lunch now, with all of them hearing the boy shout that.

"Oh wow."

"A love confession!?" A girl exclaimed lovingly.

Jiro's earlobes retracted back to herself. She let go of Izuku and took two steps back.

Her face showed in the light to reveal her mouth completely agape and her eyes widened with disbelief, completely caught off guard by that.

"C-C-C-Cute!?!" She squeaked, putting both of her hands on her cheeks with an adorably embarrassed expression.

Seeing that what he said had an effect on her, Izuku kept going.

"Th-There's not really anything to laugh at Jiro, I-I-I don't think that you have to wear that... 'thing' to be attractive. Y-You're cute without it."

Jiro felt her heart clench as her face steamed. Actually, more like erupted. She covered her face with both of her hands and dashed down the hall.

"Don't say stupid things like that!!" she yelled as she left a trail of dust behind her.

"SO FAST!" Everyone thought.

Izuku stared at where the girl went with a deadpanned expression.

"What just happened?"

The school bell then rung, making him realize something important.

A loud grumble in his stomach also helped to remind him.

He looked down with a depressing blue aura around him.

"I didn't eat lunch..." he whimpered.

____________________________________________

"You did what now?"

Enso asked Momo in the classroom.

"Um, all the other representatives and the teachers have determined that you should be the one to give an opening speech at the festival." Momo said, although sounding slightly unsure.

"What could you have possibly been thinking for you to have chosen me?" Enso asked, eyes narrowing at the girl.

"Well, it wasn't exactly us. Izuku and I thought that you might not agree, but Nezu himself came in and said to appoint you to do it."

Enso's eyes twitched, "That rodent."

"Rodent?!" Momo repeated, actually surprised to hear him call their principal that way.

The loudspeaker suddenly went on.

"Enso Ureshi, would you please come to my office?" Nezu's voice rang.

The class sweatdropped.

"Y-You don't think he really heard him, do you?" Kaminari uttered nervously.

"To call me before class is right about the start, what an idiot." Enso sighed.

"Why do I have the feeling that you said something bad about me just now?" The loudspeaker turned on once more.

"I think he definitely heard him!" Mineta cried out.

Enso stepped over to the door.

"Let's get this over with..." He said as he walked out of the room.

A moment after he left the room, Izuku came in, although hanging his head down with a comedic blue aura of depression.

"Hey Midori! How's it-? Whoa! What happened to you?" Mina asked him.

"You don't look so well, did something happen?" Momo asked in worry.

Nearly everyone heard a loud grumble come from the boy's stomach.

They were all momentarily silent.

Izuku then raised his head up with comedically big and watery eyes.

"I'm hungry..."

"You didn't eat!? I even took the papers for you." Momo said in confusion.

"Y-Yeah, I went to go eat. But then I had an..." He looked down again. "Encounter..."

Jiro in the back was the one to flinch this time as she turned red, burying her face in her arms.

"Midoriya!" Someone called out to him from the front.

Izuku weakly lifted his head and saw some familiar ginger hair by the door.

"Itsu-!?" He slammed his head on the desk to stop himself from saying her first name, surprising everyone around him. He raised it again and revealed a red mark on his head. "Kendo!?" he corrected, unfazed by the bump on his head.

"He acted as if he didn't just do that!" Everyone thought.

Kendo held something in her hands that was wrapped in aluminum foil. "I didn't see you at the cafeteria, did something happen?"

"N-Not really... I just took up more time than I thought I had..." The boy said rather sad. "Shouldn't you be in your class? The bell rung you know?"

"Yeah, but because I didn't see you in the cafeteria, I knew that you didn't even get yourself any food, so I got you something." Kendo said as the placed the object wrapped in the aluminum foil-wrapped on his desk.

"Eh?" Izuku quickly opened it up to find a burger steaming.

He then looked up at Kendo with closed, comedically waterfalling eyes.

"*sniff* Arigato!"

"Oh boy..." The class sweatdropped.

____________________________________________

Enso walked to the principal's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" He heard a cheerful voice on the other side.

He slid open the door and saw the principal sitting at his desk, drinking some tea as Enso came in.

"You have got to stop calling me to your office so many times. You do realize that it's class right now right?" Enso asked as he sat down on the chair across from him.

"Meh, you'll be back soon. More importantly! I'm sure you've heard the great news-!"

"I refuse."

"I didn't even finish!" Nezu laughed.

"You should've expected me to immediately reject the idea."

"I did expect it, but you don't have a choice now! We already decided!" Nezu chuckled.

"You're the principal, you can obviously do something."

"But I don't want to. This will be a good experience for you to give encouragement to the students."

Enso facepalmed and sighed, "What makes you assume that I could actually encourage them?"

"Just a feeling. You've always encouraged Midoriya to do his best after all." Nezu said.

"No, I just pointed out facts for him to know if he really wished to become the number one hero. He gave encouragement to himself."

"Then... perhaps you could do the same for the students?" Nezu tilted his head.

Hearing this, Enso removed his hand from his face and stared intensely at Nezu.

"You know that I'll say whatever I want to? Whatever I truly think?"

"I know that you'll say exactly what's on your mind, but that might be good here. Not all of the students were treated fairly in their eyes, maybe you could help reassure them?"

Enso stared at the principal almost with almost a confused look, then narrowing his eyes.

"Why do you have so much trust in me?"

"I don't know what you mean." Nezu said, leaning back in his chair.

"Despite hearing my past, despite knowing that there are many things in stake, you trust me with these types of events and treat it as if it's a game. Why?"

Nezu formed a serious look on his face as he leaned forward now, "Let's just say... this is for you to learn. To help you learn what type of person you wish to be."

"You can't be going back to saying that I should become a hero-?"

"This isn't about that." Nezu interrupted him. "Right now, I only wish for you to realize what you want to do."

"What I want to do?" Enso repeated.

Nezu nodded, "All you're focused on right now is to try and get some sort of clue as to who you are, but... what about after that?" Nezu asked, mixing his tea with a spoon.

"I suppose it all just depends on what I remember. I may remember what I've worked on before, what I wished to be, what I've been good at. Then I'll choose what to do from there."

"But what about the people you've met here? You believe that this isn't your world, so how long do you think you'll actually be staying here for?"

"Until I remember everything. I believe that by simply having more interactions with those my device detects is the key for me to remember who am I. So the longer I stay in this world with Izuku, the more I'll remember until I possibly remember everything."

"So after accomplishing this goal... you'll leave?"

Enso looked down, "Beings should not partake in worlds that aren't their own. I was forced to travel into other worlds to get a sense of who I was, it's the only thing I could do. If I can find out where I originally belong, then of course I'll go back there and stay. It's simply the right thing to do."

"I see... But what about Midoriya? Don't you think he's gotten somewhat attached to you by now?"

Enso looked out the window, "I haven't talked to him about this... but he'll just have to accept that I'll have to leave one day and stay on my own world. End of story."

"Hm, this conversation sure had jumped around." Nezu chuckled, then taking another sip of tea.

"So it has..." Enso sighed.

"Well, you came here to argue about giving the speech, but it seems that you know that you can't get out of it." Nezu laughed.

"I shouldn't even have bothered arguing from the start..." Enso stood up from his seat. "I'll just go back to class."

"Have fun." Nezu said, turning the back of his chair to the boy.

Enso stared at the back of the chair for a moment before leaving the classroom, marching down the hall as he wondered:

"Just what is going on through that head of his?"
