"Shinso..."

Your words were barely a whisper. Shinso stood with his back facing you. His gray suit jacket blended in with the foreboding darkness. Something crimson dripped from his hand.

"What did you do..?"

"Another party?"

You sat in the bus with the rest of your class while Mina bombarded your teacher with more questions. "Do we get to dress up?! Are pros going to be there?" She squealed.

"Yes..." Aizawa said, "And yes. And yes."

"You don't look too thrilled, Mr. Aizawa," Tsu raised her hand, "Is the event necessary?"

"It's good for your potential futures, so, in a sense it is necessary. This is an opportunity to network with agencies you'd like to work for. It's also where you can gain sponsors and other avenues of recognition..."

"Sponsors!" Mina was beside herself, "We can start making legit money then?"

"As long as you deliver," Aizawa said, "Since we're on that topic, some of you-" his glanced at you and Shinso together, "Will have several offers and contracts thrown at you. If you feel overwhelmed or pressured at any point, just grab myself or All Might, who will also be there. We can help the younger recruits from making some poor choices as new pros, if you want our assistance."

"Sounds like a lot of pressure already," you groaned.

"You know that was directed at you," Shinso said.

"Nooooooooo...." you stuck your tongue out at him. He pinched the tip, preventing your from being able to suck it back in without some effort.

"So childish," he smirked.

"I'll bite you."

"Don't tease, kitten."

"Not to point them out," Aizawa rubbed the back of his head, "But Bakugo and Todoroki, you won't be in attendance tomorrow night, however, you will begin your remedial courses."

"Remedial courses?" Kirishima perked up, "You mean they're getting another chance?"

"They want to polish the hundred heroes that passed the first exam. While they selected very few the first round, they still see the value in this small group. After a few months you will be able to prove yourself again, and hopefully get your license like your classmates."

"Alright!" Kirishima cheered, "Awesome!"

You couldn't help yourself - you leaned into the aisle to grin at Shoto and Bakugo. Shoto returned a soft expression while Bakugo grunted and turned to face the window.

"The rest of you," Aizawa said, "Are welcome and encouraged to attend. Just be smart. Consider this your first appearance to the public as pros. While I personally don't support overexposure, keep in mind that this is the image you are showing the world, not just your close friends. Who is Red Riot? Who is Uravity? Who is Froppy? Be professional. Be heroes."

"Holy crap, this is really happening..." you said after a while of silence in the bus. After the long day, most everyone fell asleep.

It's what you always wanted. What you've all been working so hard to achieve. You would be heroes, protecting people, finding your purpose...
