<THIS IS A SCOREBOARD with the applications from pro-hero agencies, the little numbers near your name are the number of agencies that want you for their internship after the little show you put on at the sports festival, Kaminari come here>> Denki immediately gets up from his seat and Aizawa gives him a pile of papers. <<On the paper there's your name followed by a lost of agencies that want you, Kaminari will go around the class giving you your list, you'll find them in rankings from most famous to least, near every name there's their location and the pro-hero that leads the agency>> I look at the scoreboard that Aizawa is pointing to while Denki walks among the desks giving everyone his sheet, and I see me, Bakugo and Shoto on the first three places of the ranking...well, at least I didn't get destroyed by Bakugo for nothing.

I turn to Midoriya to celebrate but I see him staring blankly at his paper, i haven't even talked to him yet this morning, I was too caught up in my little drama with Todoroki to go talk to him, but now that I see the sad stare on his face...i stand up a little and I look at his paper, seeing only one agency on it, one offer, just one, and I know he did everything he could in that semifinal.

And considering that he also sacrificed his place in the festival to help Shoto with his left-side quirk problems.

If pro-heroes are searching for a hero, what else could they possibly ask for in him? Being prone to sacrifice your own victory for helping someone solve their past problems is less important than blowing up a whole arena three times and winning a stupid festival with an incredible thirst for violence?

Of course I see and understand their point of view, they don't know what happened behind the scenes, they just saw a stupid kid that knows how to use his quirk just by breaking his bones...not pratical i know, but that surely doesn't ease the fact that Midoriya is probably the one that deserves most three pages of agencies, not one miserable row.

When the lesson ends I get up from my seat and go immediately go to the green boy hoping that i would find the right words but to be fair...I'm kinda messing up the relationships in my life at the moment. <<So...what offer do you have? >>

<<Some old pro-hero, Gran Torino, I don't even know who he is bit at least he saw something in me...>>

<<Hey, no no no don't say that, I don't even wanna hear you>> he raises his gaze at me, pretty demoralized, and he sighs going back to looking at his paper almost completely blank except for that one row with Gran Torino's name.

Internship, Midoriya Izuku
Gran Torino

<<They looked at me, Ame, but what do you think they saw? A stupid boy with a stupid quirk that he doesn't even know how to use, what hero can I become if I raise a finger and I'm already k.o>>

<<A hero that isn't just what people can see, Mido, there's always a behind the scenes you know that, we're all different people, plus I trained with you for too much time to stay now and listen to your self-pity, you're powerful, and Gran Torino must be the best hero of all if he saw past your appearance just by looking at you through a screen, you got the best of the best and you deserve it, so stop crying and man up, Kirishima would be disappointed in you if he saw you like this>>

<<I don't know Ame->>

<<Shut up, no doubts this time, if I say so, then so it is>> I turn around looking for Kirishima but I can't see him so I go for my next option, Denki, who's happily talking with our other classmates confronting their papers, and looking at him I the perfect example comes in mind.

I go to him dragging him back to Midoriya by his uniform sleeve and he just looks at me confused, not saying a thing.

<<Look at him for example, his brain literally goes short circuit after one extra move, right? >> the blonde boy nods, still not understanding why I brought him into this. <<Buzz buzz Midoriya, it's the same as your case, you release physical power that your body can't absorbe without damage, he releases electric power that his body can't absorbe without damage, it's normal>>

<<Well actually he->>

<<Shut up, Pikachu, your voice doesn't matter right now, I only needed your pretty face, now sparkle somewhere else>> he scrolls his shoulder unbothered before going back to our friends and I smile at Midoriya trying to comfort him.

<<Don't mind him, I just needed him because your situations are more similar than you though, do you know what's the only difference? That he has this quirk since birth, he had time to train it and he started probably by going k.o with a phone charger, now he can go up to burning a whole palace's electric panel, you have this...this thing, since what? A few month ago? For the love of God please be kind with your body, you didn't get pregnant by the Archangel Gabriel, you don't have the whole world's eight on your shoulders, you're still a kid you just kinda forget it sometimes...ok? Don't be too harsh on yourself, life already takes care of that for you>>

He slightly smiles at me, and for a second I see how for once I chose the right words and my speech motivated him back again, but it's not enough yet, not for me. <<Also look at the bright side, you always sucked at choosing between opportunities, you would of needed at least a week to choose, and youre saying you could of done that in one day? You? Oh c'mon, luck's on your side, darling, take advantage of it>> I stand up ruffling his hair and he chuckles making me smile. <<Thank you, Ame, for real, you always have the right thing to say>>

<<Not always, but almost, now go, there's someone for you>> I nod towards the door where All Might is standing waiting for Midoriya and he stands up waving to me while rapidly found to him, disappearing behind the class door.
