Midoriya clings to him tightly, shaking and sniffling into the male's chest. They heaved loudly, gasping for air that just didn't make it to their lungs. They were drowning in sorrow, all of them were.

"It will be ok" Toshinori rubs their back, their arms around their frame to keep them from falling "you all will be ok"

"W-where scared" the system, blended as one, spoke out in a horsed voice, not sounding like anyone specific.

"I know, you will be presenting to the others today. You have a right to feel as you do"

"They will think we're unwell! They will say what m-m-monster said!"

"Shh, none of that now" he lifts Midoriya's face gently, so he can face him with a sad smile "you have the heart of a hero, whether fragmented or complete, the fact remains you are good people. I could not ask for a better son"

Fat tears keep falling, they do their best to clean their face with their sleeves "w-we love you, dad"

The blond hero kisses them on the forehead, and the handkerchief he pulls out from his pocket cleans the greenette's faceless ruff then the uniform's jacket.

"Come, we will be late for school" he gives them one last squeeze "I know you all will do well, and I will be at your side every step of the way"

They smile brightly, green eyes shining with hope "c-can we be Izuku Yagi?"

He pats them on the head "I promise, I just need to get some more things sorted, ok"

"Ok dad"

"And don't forget your umbrella, it's pouring today"

"It should be around homeroom, when the class is picking names"

"Oh, it's going to be a transition for me huh"

"It appears so-"

"Good morning, Midoriya! Yagi sir!"

The system and Yagi stop and turn behind. Iida was running towards the school, wearing a green poncho.

"Woah, Iida!?" Midoriya blinks, hands holding his umbrella.

"Why on earth are you walking so slowly? You'll be late!" Iida runs past them.

The system only smiles in their seat, hearing the chatter of their classmates regarding their interactions with the general public after the events. They wanted to join in, they really did, but knowing their about to speak their truth, well...

The door to the classroom opens, an unbandaged Aizawa steps in "morning"

"Good morning Mr. Aizawa" the class said, now seated.

"Kero, Mr. Aizawa, you don't have bandages anymore" Tsuyu said "that's good news"

"The old lady went a bit overboard in her treatment, anyway, we have a big class today on hero informatics... you need code names, time to pick your hero identities"

The class cheers.

"This is related to the pro hero draft picks that I mentioned the last time we we're in class together-"

Midoriya now zones out, having been given the information from Yagi a day before. Their gaze does to their desk, staring down at the papers for his presentation. Their electronic slides were already set in the other room where it would take place, but it didn't hurt to go through his information again, though it was previously approved by Mr. Maigo and such.

They barely manage to acknowledge the boards handed out, realizing they now had to write their hero names, or the fact Midnight calls out to them.

"Well Midoriya, are you ready?"

"Oh, yes!" they, hesitantly, take their board up.

The whole class now stares at them, making their nerves skyrocket. Yet, the understanding glances of both teachers ease them, they let out a strained breath, return to their class, and make the board face down on the podium.

"Actually, I have something more important to share" their smile trembles, turning to their teachers "c-c-can we?"

"Of course" Midnight smiles, finger points to the class "everyone, today we have something special that Midoriya is wanting to present for us all"

The class whispers between them, and Bakugo raises his voice, but Aizawa uses their quirk glaring, making them all quiet down. Of course, Kirishima knew what this was about, so he give them a thumbs up in support, earning a bright smile back.

"Please follow me in line, and do not use your phones while the presentation is running" Eraserhead huffs, stepping out of the class.

Everyone follows suit, the system, and Kirishima now walks beside the teachers.
