Juniper was staring at the magnificent blond spikes in front of her as the rest of the class shuffled inside their classroom. Her hand mindlessly fiddled with the edge of the bandage covering her left eye that covered from her forehead to a bit of her left shoulder. Supposedly, the bandages would be removed after she met up for one final meeting with Recovery Girl after class.

The rest of the class was discussing their newfound fame following the broadcast of the sports festival. Sero looked disappointed as he help a thumbs up and explained, "I had some elementary schoolers suddenly tell me 'Don't mind!'"

Asui and Juniper had the same idea, the chaotic girl leaning back as she and the frog girl spoke in sync, "Don't mind!!!"

Sero gripped his hair and let out a scream of anguish. It brought a grin to Juniper's face. The loopy girl hadn't noticed the many stares and comments as she spun around making her way up to the school.

Aizawa slid open the door, "Morning."

"Good morning!!!"

Their teacher was already holding his iconic yellow sleeping bag as he spoke, "We're having a special hero informatics class today. Code names. You'll be coming up with your hero names. This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned the other day, here are the results."

On the board behind him, a few names were projected along with the number of offers the students had obtained.

TODOROKI ——— 4123
KUJO ——— 3982
BAKUGO ——— 3556
TOKOYAMI ——— 360
IIDA ——— 301
KAMINARI ——— 272
YAOYOROZU——— 108
KIRISHIMA ——— 68
URARAKA ——— 20
SERO ——— 14

He continued on, "In the past it's been more spread out but all eyes were on the top three this year."

Jiro made a fair comment, "Todoroki is first, Juniper is second, and Bakugo is third?"

Kirishima added on, thinking about their placements, "It's the complete opposite of their placement in the sports festival..."

Beside him, Sero had figured it out, "Some people are too scared to ask for the guy who blows people up and had to be restrained on the podium! And some are scared of Juniper's... chaotic personality?"

Gritting his teeth together, Bakugo spoke for himself and the girl behind him, "WHAT ARE THE PROS AFRAID OF?!?!?"

Lightly touching the boy's hair, Juniper grinned happily either way, "As long as I get something fun~! Maybe I should intern with you, Katsuki~"

Before Bakugo could attack Juniper, Aizawa's voice cut in, "With these results in mind, whether or not someone asked for you, everyone will be doing an internship this year. We have a list of 40 pros who have offered to take in the rest of you, but keep in mind each pro's specialty and location. These hero names are temporary but if you don't take them seriously..."

"You'll have hell to pay later!!!!!" Midnight slid open the door and posed in the doorway with her signature whip as she continued making her way inside, "Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, they end up becoming professional hero names!!! I'll be making sure your names are okay!!!"

Aizawa had begun to get inside his cocoon, "When you choose a name you'll get a more concrete image of what you want to be like in the future. This is what they mean when they say 'Names and natures often agree.'"

Whiteboards were passed throughout the class along with markers for the students to use. Juniper already had it figured out, based on one of her favorite myths she had learned about in her many years of being alone.
