"Akio san!" I close my eyes, sighing before turning to face Izuku.

Once he caught up to me, he panted softly, trying to regain his breath. I kept quiet, raising an eyebrow, slightly questioning why he was here and calling out to me.

"Oh thank god...I thought... you were...gonna...disappear...again." He panted. "You were so quiet yesterday and avoided everyone. I mean not that you haven't done that every other day since school started, but it was different you know? N-N-Not that that's a bad thing! Y-You, deserve your space!" He said frantically even though he was rambling. "There was just something about the way you were that didn't seem normal to me. But then again, I could just be overthinking it like I normally do and-"

"Get to the point, Midoriya." I cut him off, bluntly. My expression was tired and seemingly annoyed.

"Uh! Oh right!" He said being sidetracked from his rant. "I just wanted to see if you were ok. A-And to tell you to ignore what Kacchan said... if that's what's been bugging you." He said meekly, with regret in his eyes. Which I don't understand, since he did nothing wrong. "You aren't a villain, in fact; you're going to be an amazing hero!" he said smiling brightly, truly believing his words.

A small smile graced my features. "Thank you... Izuku." I said gently, my gaze softening.

His face had turned pink from just seeing me smile, but after I spoke his name, he rivaled Kirishima's hair, He was beaten red, breaking into a nervous sweat.

"U-uh i-i-it's no p-problem at all! J-Just speaking the t-truth!!"

I chuckle at his frantic tone, turning around to leave. "See you in class, Izuku."

"Oh wait! One more thing!" He called out, I turn my head, indulging him. "Why were you late to our modern literature class?" he asked with an innocent curiosity.

"I needed to discuss something about the art assignment midnight had given us." Cause lord knows my Aunt can be confusing when she's surrounded by young males. Her teaching concentration gets a little sidetracked- yet the school still has her teaching a class.

If she had to teach anywhere, and actually make sense, she should work at an all-girls school or something. Let's leave the 18+ jazz for something else, and not at a high school.

After answering the question, I headed someplace else to have lunch.

"Today's training will be a little different," Mr. Aizawa said once everyone was quiet and seated. "You'll have 3 instructors. Me, All Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you."

3 pro heroes? This must be because of yesterday's incident with the media and reporters. The teachers must think there was something more going on than just a normal intrusion but are keeping it on the down-low so it doesn't spread any panic.

"Sir, what kind of training is this?" Sero questioned, raising his hand.

"Rescue." He answered. "You'll be dealing with natural disasters. Shipwrecks, stuff like that."

"Disasters huh? Sound like we're in for a big workout." Kaminari mused, turning his head to Mina.

"Totally!" She said excitedly.

"Real hero stuff. This is what separates men from boys." Kirishima said with an enthusiastic grin. "I'm shaking with excitement!"

"Finally I get to show off how good I am in the water, ribbit." Said Tsuyu.

"Guys, I'm not finished yet." Mr. Aizawa said, cutting everyone off their excitable banter. "What you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know you're excited about costumes." He said pulling out the remote to the panel with all our hero outfits. "But keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, so they might limit your abilities." He warned.
