Several days later, Aiko and her classmates were able to go back to school. They walked into the classroom and were all talking about random things until, "Who do you think our substitute will be?"

"Oh yeah, Aizawa got really hurt, didn't he?" Aiko asked.

The next moment, Aizawa walked into the room, absolutely mummified in bandages and casts. "AIZAWA?!" the class exclaimed.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" Tsu asked.

"My well-being is none of your concern. However, you all need to prepare for your next challenge..." Aizawa stated.

Everyone tensed up, expecting more villains. "The UA Sports Festival is about to begin," Aizawa finished.

The class relaxed and even livened up. "Wait, isn't it a little soon to have the festival after a villain attack?" Kirishima asked.

"The principal argued that it was to show that UA had everything under control and that we wouldn't be scared by just a few villains," Aizawa stated.

"Really? It's just a stupid festival," Mineta stated.

"JUST a festival???" Haru exclaimed, the room getting colder almost instantly, causing the class to shiver.

"Mineta, have you never seen the festival?" Midoriya asked.

"Of course I have! I'm just saying..." Mineta said defensively.

"Since the appearance of quirks, things like the Olympic games have lessened in popularity. The UA Sports Festival has essentially become a replacement for that. It's also a scouting opportunity for hero agencies to scout you out as potential sidekicks. One chance a year, three chances in a lifetime. Train well, you have two weeks."

After class, everyone was dismissed to lunch. Aiko then heard something behind her and looked around to see Uraraka threatening to do her best. "She's intense," Haru remarked.

Aiko nodded as they turned back and left the room to go to lunch. On the way, as they were in the lunch line, they overheard Uraraka and Iida talking about how All Might took Midoriya for lunch. 'Interesting...' Aiko thought to herself as she looked ahead in line, accidentally making eye contact with Todoroki, 'Is he picking up on this as well?'

As school ended and Aiko was getting ready to leave, a commotion at the door to the classroom was heard. Aiko looked at Haru curiously before the two of them went to the door. "What's going on?" Aiko asked.

"It seems they're checking out the competition. They heard that we faced off against villains so they're staking us out," Bakugo growled, "Now move it extras."

"You can't just call people you don't know extras it's so disrespectful!" Iida scolded.

"So this is the hero course, huh? You're supposedly better than us, but you just look like an ass," a new voice stated from the crowd. 

Aiko looked toward the voice and noticed that it was a boy with purple eyes and wild purple hair. "Wait, you're the one who helped me get away from the reporters," Aiko remarked, staring at him.

The purple boy glanced down at Aiko for a moment before looking up and glaring at Bakugo and the rest. He then went on to challenge Aiko and her classmates, saying that if any of the other classes do good enough, they might be transferred into the hero course. And if that happens, they'd have to transfer people out to make room. The purple haired guy then looked down at Aiko one more time before walking away, leaving Aiko confused. Another boy ran up and started yelling at Bakugo as he walked away. Aiko then slipped through the crowd and walked away, only for someone to grab her arm. "Look, it's one of those 1-A bastards! She probably thinks that she's better than us!" he exclaimed.
