The ringing of my alarm wakes me up from my slumber. Getting out of my bed, I yawn loudly and look around my room. I am momentarily confused on where I was but soon remember that I am in my dorm room. I go to the girl's bathroom to relieve myself and brush my teeth. Mina and Ochaco soon walk in to the bathroom all groggy as they begin to get ready as well.
After being attacked by the League of Villains twice in one school year, UA brought its students to live on campus in order to keep us safe. Our dorm, Heights Alliance, is a five-minute walk from the main school building. Things were a little strange at first, but once we finally settled into our new home, we returned to normal coursework and our goal of becoming heroes. What hasn't returned to normal, though, is my relationship with Katsuki. After that night, things have been slightly awkward, and it doesn't help that he seems to keeping his distance. I want to say something to him, but what I'm not sure. Between me telling him some of my past with All For One and that embrace...maybe I should just wait until he comes to me when he is ready to.
After we all finish eating breakfast with each other, we, as a class, walk to school. The bell rings and Mr. Aizawa walks to his podium. "I believe I mentioned this already, but your main focus this summer is obtaining provisional hero licenses," he says.
—"Yes, sir!" We answer.
"Do not take this lightly. A hero license means that you're responsible for human lives. You can imagine that the exam to receive one is very difficult. Only 50 percent of students pass the tests required for these permits each year."
"It's that hard to get a provisional license?" Mineta asks in surprise.
Mr. Aizawa doesn't directly answer him but says, "In order to prepare, today you'll concentrate on creating something new. Two ultimate moves." As he finishes, Pro Heroes, Cementoss, Midnight, and Ectoplasm, open the door and walk into the classroom.
—"Ultimate moves?" Kaminari and Kirishima question.
—"An exam is a normal school thing. But this is total hero work!" Sero and Mina join in with the two others excitedly.
"When we say 'ultimate', we mean a move that will ensure you win against your opponent," Ectoplasm explains.
"An action so unique to your identity that no other person can hope to copy it. Simply put, you must learn to lean into your strengths," Cementoss explains.
"Your moves represent who you are. These days, most pro heroes have an ultimate move. Those who don't are fools," Midnight says.
"This may sound abstract, but we'll explain more as the day goes on. For now, change into your costumes and meet in Gym Gamma," Mr. Aizawa orders and we all comply quickly.
We all group up at the entrance with all four teachers in front of us. "Gym Gamma, also known at the Academy as the 'Training Dining Land', or TDL," Mr. Aizawa says.
