The excitement of the U.A. Sports Festival had finally settled, and Class 1-A returned to their classroom, buzzing with the afterglow of the event. Y/N slipped into their seat, a sly grin on their face, ready for whatever came next. Mr. Aizawa, their homeroom teacher, walked in, holding a stack of papers.

"Alright, everyone, settle down," Aizawa said, his voice as monotone as ever. "We need to go over the tally of nominations you received from pro heroes during the Sports Festival. This year's nominations are more skewed than usual."

He pinned the list on the board, revealing the numbers. Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki had the highest tally, as expected. The class murmured among themselves, impressed by the sheer number of offers.

"And then there's Y/N," Aizawa continued, a hint of surprise in his usually deadpan voice. "You received 200 offers."

The class turned to Y/N in shock. "Two hundred?!" Kaminari exclaimed. "How is that even possible?"

Y/N just shrugged, a nonchalant smile playing on their lips. "What can I say? I'm popular."

"Who in their right mind would want to work with you?" Bakugo sneered, though there was a hint of begrudging respect in his voice.

"Maybe they appreciate my unique charm and skills," Y/N replied, grinning.

"As you all know, you'll be getting work-place experience," Aizawa said, bringing the attention back to him. "You got some first-hand experience at the U.S.J., but training with pro heroes will be more fruitful."

As Aizawa handed out the sheets of paper listing the pro heroes interested in each student, Y/N glanced over their list, noticing one offer highlighted in red—X-Men. Their eyes widened slightly, knowing the significance.

"Hey, what's that?" Kirishima asked, trying to peek over Y/N's shoulder.

"X-Men? No way!" Mina exclaimed, catching a glimpse. "Aren't they super low-key?"

The class erupted in excitement. "Wolverine's back too!" Sero added, his voice filled with awe.

Y/N smirked. "Well, looks like I've got some interesting options."

"Wow, how'd you get their attention?" Tsuyu asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

Y/N shrugged nonchalantly. "Just got a way with people, I guess."

Midnight entered the room with her usual flair, adding a touch of drama to the otherwise mundane classroom. "Now, let's move on to your hero names," she announced. "You have 15 minutes to decide on them. Remember, the names you choose will represent your future as heroes."

The class erupted into chatter, brainstorming their hero names. Y/N leaned back, watching their classmates with amusement.

Midnight began calling on students to reveal their chosen hero names. There was a mix of creativity and cringe, with some names sparking laughter and others admiration. When it was Izuku's turn, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I choose Deku," Izuku announced, his voice filled with newfound confidence. Some of his classmates looked surprised, but Izuku explained, "Someone changed the meaning of the name for me. It used to bother me, but now, it makes me happy."

Ochaco smiled warmly at Izuku, while Bakugo grumbled, clearly irritated.

Next up was Tenya. He looked conflicted, wrestling with the decision of using his brother's hero name, Ingenium. After a moment, he sighed and said, "I will use my own name. I'll be known as Tenya."

Midnight nodded approvingly. "And you, Bakugo?"

"Katsuki the King of Explodo-Kills!" Bakugo declared.

The class burst into laughter. "That's too long and over-the-top, even for you!" Kaminari chuckled.

"Yeah, try fitting that on a business card," Y/N quipped, earning a few snickers.

Bakugo scowled, turning his glare to Y/N. "Oh, yeah? What's your hero name, smartass?"

Y/N grinned. "Call me... Captain Sarcasm."

Bakugo snorted. "That's just as ridiculous."

"Well, it's got a certain ring to it," Y/N shot back, nonchalant as ever.

Midnight smiled, appreciating the humor. "Alright, everyone, make sure your names reflect who you are as heroes."

The class filled out their internship sheets, each student eagerly discussing their offers and hero names. As Y/N wrote down their choices, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of anticipation for what was to come with the X-Men.

The day wound down with the class filled with chatter and laughter. Even Aizawa couldn't hide a small smile at the antics of his students. With the first step towards their future as pro heroes underway, Class 1-A was ready to face whatever challenges came next—especially with Captain Sarcasm among their ranks.

After class ended, Y/N submitted their paper to Aizawa immediately with no questions asked. Aizawa raised an eyebrow, suspicious but ultimately letting it go when he saw Y/N's giddy expression and humorous face.

"Just don't cause any trouble," Aizawa muttered, though his eyes held a glimmer of amusement.

Y/N gave a mock salute. "Trouble? Me? Never."

As they walked out of the classroom, Y/N couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. The future was looking more interesting by the minute, and they were ready to face it head-on, with their own brand of humor and flair.
