The entire Pro Hero and Support Course was on hold for at least a month due to the legal battle between Principal Nezu, HPSC, All Might, and the Pro Heroes vs the parents of the students who were being led by none other than Mitsuki, the Bakugou matriarch. It was obvious hell had descended with proof that the No. 1 Hero purposely assaulted her son, and apparently, Nezu could not terminate him because the HPSC threatened his license to manage UA. Well now that a restraining order was made with All Might's name, the HPSC can't do shit until the trial ends and his name is exonerated, if he is exonerated. Until then, the Pro Hero teachers will have to be on trial and be witnesses and provide their side of the story, and the students involved will also approach the stand, but not until the final week of the trial.

In the meantime, they can do what they want to relax or stay home and study. They all agreed to have at least a day to just unwind. Several people, like Mina, Eevee, and the Kirishima Twins, wanted to enjoy a little freedom to help relax the body and mind, and they needed it badly after what they had to deal with. Victoria made a reservation at the spa for her friends who wanted to relax, including Izuku and Katsuki who just left the hospital after Izuku's recovery.

The class found out that he was not fully 100% recovered, and there was a high chance that it would stay that way once the doctors noted no changes with his healing the last 3 days, and the flames on his back is a sign that it recovered as much as it could. Izuku can still walk with support but his feet and calves will deal with a numbing, cramping, or needle-stinging combo occasionally. It is manageable with medication, but there would be days he would be in so much pain that he could not relax. Right now, with long travels, he will be wheelchair-bound, but that will not stop him from becoming a Pro Hero, thanks to the support of his family, friends, and teachers.

"C'mon everyone! Let's have fun and go shopping!" Mina yelled, holding Momo's hand as she was dragging the poor girl to every shop. "I just want to relax and not think about anything, so I am going to be a fashionista!"

Everyone was laughing at her enthusiasm before Kairi joined the fray. "Good thinking, I would like some bedazzled jeans as well as look for a Wicca store to get some more sage and charms. Hekate knows that we need some good juju before the real torture begins."

"It is shocking and disturbing that our...former teacher did something so unheroic." Iida said, his mind warring on trying to defend the hero but his heart could not find any kind of justice. "He overstepped his boundaries as a teacher, surely he could have thought of something less...lethal."

"Don't remind me, I still want to blast his balls into oblivion." Katsuki growled, massaging a migraine due to the large crowd in the mall and ignoring the robo-teen berating him. He didn't want to be here, but his brother wanted to be out and about, and he couldn't blame him for being in the hospital for a month. "Shut up, where is Silks, didn't she say she will be here?"

"She will be at Hachi's Spa," Aurora replied and pointed to a sign with octopus arms holding different grooming items. "She called me earlier that is where she will be due to an incident earlier this morning. A shopkeeper at that shoe place over there threw a metal item at her, told her to keep her threads and legs away from his merchandise. She wasn't even near his shop, so it is obvious the guy was an anthropomorphist."

"Great...another asshole I want to blast into oblivion." Katsuki moaned, the right eye now feeling like it was being stabbed continuously with an ice pick. He just did not want to deal with anyone today apparently, but how could he say no to Izuku and Eevee, both were pretty much restless from being in the hospital. He sighed in defeat before feeling something jump on his shoulder to get to the top of his head, kneading his hair and making a nest out of it. "You just love my hair, don't you, Honey?" He growled but smiled as he felt the bunny purr, effectively working the migraine away.
