A 'small girl' – she was actually just an adult examiner disguised as a child – felt her worries wash away as a luminescent hero bounded towards her. She crouched down, the glow around her body fading before her palm outstretched to her to illuminate their faces.

"I'm Astraea, are you hurt?" The examiner almost forgot they were in the middle of a simulated exam from how genuinely the hero spoke to her.

"My leg is stuck... under this rock."

Rin had found the 'small girl' under two collapsed buildings that were perilously leaned against one another. She'd carefully crawled through the small space, parts of her body disintegrated into star dust so she could fit through.

"You will be just fine," Rin reassured before glancing backwards where Kirishima and Uraraka were waiting patiently outside the hole. "Uravity! Can you please make the rubble float? And Red Riot, please hold together the supporting beams above our heads just in case the rubble collapses!"

The examiner smiled at her, impressed by her quick thinking and her calm presence. She'd been initially deterred from Rin after hearing that she was an anxious individual, but being enraptured into her hero alias, it was like she was a whole different person.

When she was taken out of the hole, Rin carefully checked her state, deeming her as being unable to walk herself to the makeshift first-aid area the other hero students had created.

"I'll take you to the first aid tent," she scooped her up carefully. "We'll be there shortly, hold on tight."

The examiner didn't expect for Rin to slowly hover above the ground, her feet popping with supernovas. Rin's hands wrapped around her ears, cradling her to her chest as they accelerated to the first aid area.

Rin guided her to the students performing first aid, the examiner making a mental note that her performance had been exceptionally perfect.

"Astraea, we need you over here!" She whipped her head around, spotting Asui carrying a few civilians who'd fallen into a lake earlier. "Please dry their clothing."

Rin nodded, ushering the civilians towards her before she held out her hands to them. She cradled a star, the heat instantaneously drying off their clothing.

From above, Aizawa analysed his students. They'd once before practised an emergency rescue scenario and they were doing decently well – besides Bakugou who had a natural gruffness to him that scared off civilians and lost him a handful of points

Aizawa was especially pleased with Rin who had only been in an emergency situation once; the Hosu Incident where she hadn't exactly acted accordingly. But, she seemed to have learned well from her experience and had heavily studied the textbook procedures when rescuing civilians.

Aizawa was snapped out of his thoughts when his phone vibrated in his pocket, the man calmly taking it out of his pocket before his eyes darted to the contact name. His eyebrow raised at the ostentatious contact photo of Principal Nezu displayed on his screen, Aizawa rushing to answer the phone.

"Principal Nezu." Aizawa greeted him plainly.

"Eraserhead, I don't mean to alarm you, but the 1A dorms have been broken into." The underground hero's figure suddenly straightened, catching Ms Joke off guard.

"Do you know the culprit? What could they possibly want from the dormitories?" He questioned, feeling a surge of panic course through him.

He was rarely afraid, but when it came to his students, he couldn't help but be alarmed.
