As promised by Kanae and Shinobu Kocho, Shota Aizawa was cleared to go home with minimal bandages. He did have to keep his arm in a sling, and limit his involvement with any types of physical activity, but he was able to return to class by the end of the second day of treatment.

The third day came and went, and Y/N adjusted her butterfly clip on her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror for a few short moments, clad in her UA uniform. She had a sad expression gracing her features, before she sighed softly and put on her facade, a soft smile.

Y/N exited her bedroom, spotting the two Kocho sisters hard at work with other patients. The young girl bowed to the two of them, "I'll be heading off now" Y/N said, to which the two women smiled her way.

"Be careful, you have your bento with you?" Shinobu asked, Y/N nodding in confirmation.

"Try and make some friends, Y/N" Kanae said, the young girl nodding once again.

Truth be told, she had thought long and hard about it during the three days the school gave their class off to recuperate from the attack. It couldn't be just a coincidence that she had reunited with the boy from the park, it was the first time she had done something her heart pushed her to do. And now he confronted her about it.
Maybe it was a sign to open her heart up, and try to avoid using her coin as much as possible. But before she did that, it was her turn to ask Shoto Todoroki something.

Y/N walked out of the estate, looking down at the coin that rested on the palm of her hand. She had leaned heavily on the object that Kanae had given to her ever since she's been pulled out of her past situation.
But she'd try her best to change.

"Hey, L/N! You're all right, I'm so glad!"
Y/N turned to the sound of her name, seeing a familiar head of red hair. He was the guy who pulled Bakugou off of her when he was a little (a lot) upset about the quiet girl saving him.

Y/N smiled and bowed at him, to which he gave a large, toothy grin.
"I'm Ejiro Kirishima, I don't think I introduced myself. Sorry about that."

Y/N gave her coin a flip, looking down at it before giving Kirishima a kind smile.
"I'm glad you're in good health, Kirishima. Please, refer to me as Y/N."

The red head gave an impossibly larger smile. 'She's really cute'

The two continued to walk towards the UA building, Kirishima gladly doing all the talking the entire way to class. Y/N bowed slightly for the escort, before walking down the rows of seats.

Y/N settled herself at her desk, keeping her hands placed on her lap as the rest of the class started to litter in. She spotted Todoroki eventually entering as well, going to his seat behind her. She didn't want to talk to him now and risk their homeroom teacher interrupting what she wanted to ask. And she also had to build up the courage to talk to him without the use of her coin.

Eventually, Aizawa entered the classroom, the class expressing their concern and shock to seeing the man doing well. Aizawa sighed at the blabbering students, he was going to surely start getting grey hair.
"Settle down, your fight isn't over."

The words of concern turned to panic at the thought of another attack hearing their way.
"More villains?!" Midoriya exclaimed, Mineta causing a scene from his seat as he wailed.

"The UA sports festival is coming up."

"The sports festival? But, so soon after the attack?" Yaoyorozu questioned in concern. "That's a huge target with all of us in one place."

"The  sports festival has been a tradition for years, and we've never failed to deliver it. If we stopped now, it would only cause concern for the public. We're upping the security, so there's nothing for you to worry about. This is a great opportunity to get your names out there and that in turn gets you internship opportunities. So do your best to train, even outside of class."

"Yes sir."

🌱🌹🥀

"Are you excited about the sports festival, Bakugou?" Kirishima asked, the blonde glaring his way in return.

"I'm going to win the thing anyway" he began, going to the classroom doors and swinging it open. They were met with a lot of first years from other classes, ranging from other hero classes, to the support studies.

"They're the ones who fought against actual villains."

"Are they that strong?"

"I heard one of them got seriously injured though."

"Out of my way, you extras."

"STOP CALLING PEOPLE EXTRAS JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE!"

"Funny, you really do sound like an asshole, do all of the hero courses act like that? Or is it just you?" A boy with unkept indigo hair said as he made his way to the front of the crowd.
A lot of the expressive students that stood behind Bakugou quickly signaled the boy to stop lighting Bakugou's fuse.

Y/N stayed towards the back, looking on in confusion. What was the point in blocking the only exit there was? Todoroki was near her as well, choosing not to pointlessly interact with other classes.

"Treat this as a declaration of war" Shinso announced, making the surrounding students shocked that someone would talk to the angry blonde in such a way. "This is my chance to make it into the hero course, the entrance exams were rigged from the start. A lot of us from the support courses were unable to really show our potential, so we were cast to the side."

Bakugou was having a stare down with the boy, before he walked out of the classroom without a word.
"He really left us to deal with the mess he caused" Uraraka complained, while Y/N took it as a great opportunity to leave as well.
She didn't think she did anything wrong, so the threats didn't reach her too harshly. She expected everyone to try their best in the sports festival anyway, so she didn't need to listen to their reasoning to believe them.

She instead focused on locating her red and white haired classmate, who had also snuck out of the classroom but vanished in the crowd.
The girl walked through the halls, not minding that she was losing time to settle down and eat the bento that was made for her by Shinobu.

Then she finally spotted him at the side of the building under a tree, having his lunch in peace. The almost felt bad for disrupting his lunch, but she just had to know. She fiddled with her coin, before stuffing it into her pocket.

She took a step forward, causing Todoroki to look up at her with slightly widened eyes of surprise. The girl took a deep breath to calm the heaviness of her heart, "Todoroki, I would like to ask you something-" she began, but the boy stood up and silenced her with a raised hand.

"Don't bother, L/N. The day I stopped you outside of the school was only to sought out answers for the reasoning behind approaching me when we were younger. You saw me as weak back then, and I can admit I was, but I'm not the same little kid anymore. So, as it seems everyone else is doing at the moment, I will join in. This is my declaration of war against you, and I expect to fight you head on in the sports festival. And you better not pity me like you did at the park."

And with that, Todoroki walked past the girl and back towards the building of the school.
Y/N watched him go, before fishing the coin back out of her pocket.

She should've known not using her coin was a bad idea.
