It had been a few days since the festival and Hikori was sitting in the common room with his classmates. It was a Saturday and everyone was exhausted from the week. They had the sports festival on Monday but still had training everyday afterwards. Hikori noticed that Shiro was sitting on the couch, clutching his stomach. He curled in one himself and tears pricked at his eyes.

"Hey, you OK, Shiro?" Hikori asked as he shuffled over.

"I-I'm f-fine... My stomach just hurts..." Shiro replied, groaning in pain.

"Do you want me to take you to Eri?"

"Move it Sparky! This isn't something you should be concerned with. Come on, Shiro." Kirishima growled as she grabbed Shiro's hand. She turned back towards Hikori. "If you really want to know what's wrong, talk to Iida. They can tell you."

"OK...?" Hikori went to find Iida. He found her coming out of her room and down the left hall. He ran up to them.

"Hey, Iida?" Hikori asked as they walked in.

"What's up, Kami?" they replied.

"What's wrong with Shiro? He said he had a sore stomach and Kirishima took him down towards the girls' dorms, even though it's against the rules."

"Look. It's not my place to say anything but, just know that he was given permission from Sensei to go into the girls' rooms if needed."

"Oh... By the way, how are you coping? You know, being segregated into the girls' dorms?"

"It's fine. When we first moved in, Sensei talked to me about it and I told her it was fine. Even though I don't identify as any gender, I assured her that it wouldn't cause any issues."

"Oh! OK then. What have you got planned for the day?"

"Nothing much. I was just going to chill in the dorms."

They both heard crashing and clashing from the floor above.

"Sounds like someone is putting the gym to good use." MT commented as he entered the common room.

"Yeah. I want to go and train there, but because we share it with 1B, I really don't want to run into Monoma or any of his classmates." Hikori replied as he thought back to his fight with the boy.

"To be honest? Neither do I." Iida added. "I saw how he won his 1v1s in the festival and I honestly don't want to become one of his victims."

The trio looked up as some of the other students walked in.

"I'm guessing we're not the only ones that have decided to stay in the dorms this weekend." Laughed a brunette. Hagakure Benjiro.

"Yeah. I think it would be best to get accustomed with our dorm building a little more before we decide to start leaving the premises." A blue haired male agreed. Togata Dai.

"I wonder when we're going to get the results for how many Pros want to take us for internships?" a blonde girl with green eyes asked no one in particular as she sat down in a chair. Ojiro Ichika.

"Neither do we, Ichika. We don't know any schedule. Remember what Sensei said; Everything will be different this year due to what happened from past experiences." Hagakure said.

Instead of a simple reply, his sister just stuck out her tongue.

The next day at school, they all sat in class while they waited for Pinky to arrive. After about a minute, she walked in with Infrared, the women that presented each round at the festival.

"Hello everyone! You may or may not remember me, but, my name is Infrared! Today, instead of your normal training, we are going to be choosing hero names!" Infrared exclaimed with joy.
