        "Welcome back to our live show. For our next topic—is it really necessary for heroes to dress sexily? Let's ask our very special studio guests what they think. She's the rookie hero who debuted just this year. It's Mt. Lady! And she's a pro who's currently teaching at U.A. High School; the incomparable Midnight! Thank you so much for joining us! Please, have a seat. Let's start with you, Midnight. When you first debuted, your revealing outfit caused quite a stir. In fact, it eventually led to the 'Regulations for Exposed Skin in Costumes' bill being taken before the legislature. You're a hero whose sexiness changed the very laws of the country," the talk show hosts says.

        "Her costume's still pretty racy," Mt. Lady inputs.

        Giving her a side eye, she says, "Now I rely on ultra-thin fabrics. Because of the nature of some people's Quirks, clothing can restrict their abilities Sexiness isn't just an aesthetic, it's sometimes needed so we can do our jobs well. Besides, what's more attractive than a hero who can get the job done quickly?"

        "I think you just like the attention," Mt. Lady argues.

        "What's with you, Lady? Are you trying to start a fight?" Midnight snaps.

        "Of course not! I look up to you! I think you're amazing! For someone of you age," she smarts off.

        "You can act like the blushing ingénue all you want, but you're not that young yourself, you know," Midnight says angrily.

        "All I'm saying is if the older pros try too hard, then the rest of us have to go even harder!" Mt. Lady yells. They begin shouting back and forth making me turn the TV off quickly to try to concentrate on my studies. So much for having background noise, I think to myself. I'll just play some music instead.

        "All right. That's it for class today. There's only one week left before you final exams begin. I'm sure you're all studying constantly, right?" Mr. Aizawa asks us. "Don't forget to keep training. The written exam is only one element. There's also the practical portion to worry about. Good luck." He leaves the room and shuts the door behind him.

        —"I've barely even taken notes this semester!" Both Kaminari (ranking: 21/21) and Mina (ranking: 20/21) exclaim though Kaminari is more concerned than Mina who is laughing.

        "And with the sports festival and internship, I didn't have time to read the textbook," Kaminari whines.

        "It's true that we haven't had very much free time lately," Tokoyami (ranking: 15/21) agrees.

        "We'd barely learned anything when we took our midterms, so they didn't seem all that hard, but I'm kinda worried about these. We've been through a lot, and they probably won't pull any punches when it comes to testing us," Sato (ranking: 13/21) says to Koda (ranking: 12/21).
