"I was planning to talk more about those at a later date, but I guess telling you now is more logical. To put it simply, it's work outside of class."

"Like the internships we did. Well, they did." I said.

"Correct. But they are closer to the real thing."

"Wait, then why did we work so hard at the sports fest?!" O yelled.

"She has a point. If we have work studies, those who weren't scouted at the sports festival still have career paths." Iida said.

O was now tweaking.

"This doesn't make sense!"

"You'll be using your connections from the festival to secure a work study. It's basic networking. This isn't part of your normal classwork. It's discretionary for each student. That means those who weren't scouted at the sports festival will have a hard time lining one up I'm afraid. Originally, individual agencies recruited on their own. But there was lots of competition as people tried to recruit UA students. So this is how things ended up. Good enough, Ochaco?"

"I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions, sir." She said as she sat back down.

"Now that you have your provisional licenses, you can assist in real ways for longer periods of time. Until now, there haven't been many first years who've received their licenses. With the increased activity of villains, we're currently exploring the idea that you can participate in work studies as well. We'll explain more about the work study positions and what that program entails at a later date, but for now... We've got other things to worry about. That's all. Sorry to keep you waiting, Mic."

The door opened to reveal uncle Mic.

"First period is English! In other words, it's jam time! Been an age since I stood on this stage. Ya miss me?"

Dad grabbed his things and walked away.

"We've got a lot of cover today! Let's get rollin' with it. Ya dig?"

After school was over, we all went back to the dorms.

"Excuse me, but, what is with this dust, Bakugo?" Mineta asked.

Sero started to laugh.

"Deku was s'poses to do that! Shut up!"

He turned to Zuku.

"Hey, can't you even clean something right, you idiot?" Bakugo asked him.

"Right! Sorry!"

Bakugo walked away from them as I walked over to Zuku.

"Hey, guys if you put your trash in the halls, I'll take everything down in a second."

He asked but everyone ignored him and started to talk to the others.

He listened to them talk about class and the work studies with a sad look on his face.
