Izuku couldn't help but look and finds Hatsume outside the classroom, staring at the door, brow furrowed. He opens his mouth to ask if she’s alright, but before he can make a sound, she laughs, smacking her palm against her forehead and slides the door open.

…are you okay?” he asks. Hatsume jumps.

Oh, Ten Million! Welcome back!” she rubs the back of her neck. “Yeah, I’m just experiencing some weird side effects from some of the babies I made during my internship. I’ll have it sorted out soon. But what about you?” She grabs him by the sleeve and leads him into the classroom.

He wondered why she wasn't in her classroom in Support class but he'll ask her later, since Izuku left for school early today in order to dodge the press. As a minor, they don’t have his address or anything they can use to find his house, but they can stake out at UA and wait for him, so he figured he would preempt them. And it seems he was early, Izuku struts in back straight, head raised. He walks with his hips the way Rumi does, lazy but confident smile on his face.

“You look better!” Hatsume continues. “You aren’t doing that hunch thing you do!”

She said with Izuku chuckling a bit,“Yeah, Rumi was great.” Izuku smiles softly.

“Rumi?” says Hatsume

“She’s not big on formality. I’m pretty sure having me call her by her first name was the first thing she did after her introduction speech.”

"Wow that's cool"

"So anyways...how come you're coming into my class? Not that it's a problem bit shouldn't you be in your classroom?"

"Oh! Right I was about to say something about that but the Principal Principal that me and another student will be part of the hero course! How fun is that?"
She said with Izuku widening his eyes but he smiled, "Well I'm glad...so who's the other person?"

"...um...I can't say...since he's not officially in yet because he's got things to work out before he can make his appearance"

Izuku only nodded his head as His ear twitches towards the sound of approaching footsteps. A moment later, the door slides open.

“Ah, Good morning, Midoriya!” says Iida.

“Iida! Good to see you! How’s the arm?”

“Well…” Iida grimaces. “It could certainly be worse. But I am not to do anything strenuous for a few days at least. So I won’t be participating in any practical Heroics lessons.”

“How was the move-in?” says Izuku,“From the text I got from our classmates...it must have been tough”

“I am embarrassed that I wasn’t able to help carry any of my belongings to my room, but otherwise it went very smoothly.”

Slowly, the rest of the class make their way into class. Izuku can’t help but grin at their surprised reactions to seeing him with his head up high. He winks and several of them blush furiously, which makes Izuku cackle which leads to him getting bombarded by a brown haired girl and a pink skinned girl who was playing tug of war with him just sighing a bit from this.

He couldn't help but observe the silent Bakugo whose face had bandages tjay covered some his face along with his hands.

Most of the guys didn't even greet him as everyone makes small talk about their internship experiences. Jiro helped out with some logistical support of an evacuation during a Villain fight. Tsuyu helped out with a smuggling case. Ochako seems even more spirited, showing off a Gunhead-Style stance. Hagakure was excited for something she won’t show them, promising to demonstrate it later. But the small talk doesn’t last forever.

“Yeah, I feel like I learned a lot,” says Kaminari. “I totally get what Mr. Aizawa was talking about when he said it would be a different experience. But I’d bet that was nothing compared to you three!” He nods in the direction of Izuku, Iida, and Todoroki.

“Oh shit, yeah, The Hero Killer,” Sero says.

“I’m glad you three are okay,” says Kirishima.

Yaoyorozu nods. “I was worried.” specifically staring at Izuku.

“I appreciate your concern, but I wasn’t in too much danger,” Todoroki responds, evenly but not cold. “I spent most of that fight lying down, trying not to aggravate my wound. That stab hurt, but it didn’t puncture anything vital. I won’t be participating in any Heroics lessons today, but I’m otherwise fine.”

“I’m glad to hear it,” Yaoyorozu says.

“And you two?” says Tokoyami. “Are you withstanding the pressure of such tribulation?”

“While my injury was… unfortunate,” Iida’s voice is strained, “It will serve as an excellent reminder that we mustn’t let down our guard!”

“But dude, didn’t you nearly beat him?” Sero asks Izuku.

“I saw it on the news,” Ojiro says.
“They’re saying you held your own.”

Izuku shakes his head, “Nah. Stain was holding back on me for most of that fight. The moment he took me seriously, I was down.” Izuku’s grin turns predatory. “If he’d waited another second, I’d have had him.”

“We are lucky that Miruko reached us in time!” Iida says.

“Midoriya,” Tsuyu places a finger to her chin. “You seem more assured today, kero.”
Izuku rubs the back of his head. “I’m getting there. Rumi refused to let me be anxious.”
“Oh, Izuku!” Uraraka says. “I’ve been dying to know what your surprise is!” It’s like a switch was flipped and half the class was suddenly demanding answers from him. Unfortunately, the transformation wasn't in the green light yet with the only thing he can only do was change his eye color and show his sharp canines other than that the rest was a red zone...he doesn't want to feel responsible to hurt his friends...minus Bakugo.

“Good morning, brats,” Mr. Aizawa says, making his way to his podium and saving Izuku from having to explain. “Settle down and get seated. I know internships and the new dorms have you excited, but that’s no excuse.”

Everyone is in their seat in moments.

“Good. I have a few announcements today. For any of you who somehow haven’t heard, UA is becoming a boarding school. Staying at the on-campus dorms in mandatory for Hero students. You have until the end of next week to get started moving in. I understand that this is sudden, but this is a security measure for your benefit.” He pauses. “Next, Recovery Girl has reminded me that I neglected to tell you all about Inui, the school counselor. You’ve all been through some stressful situations since the start of the year. If you need to talk with someone about it, speak with him.”

Izuku feels like Mr. Aizawa was looking directly at him when he says that, but Izuku was already planning on it.

Chapter End.
