"No surprise that Todoroki won the vote last night." Kaminari sighed.

Sero responded, "Just one vote difference and I could have won too."

Mineta replied, "If you guys actually looked in my room then I would have captured all the girl votes!"

Kaminari side-eyed him, "If we saw your room they probably would have got you thrown in Tartarus, for better or for worse."

Kirishima murmured, "Definitely for better..."

Aizawa entered the class and cleared his throat. As I mentioned yesterday, your primary goal is to get your provisional licenses. Hero licenses are intrinsically tied to the saving of lives, so one must naturally pass a difficult test to qualify. Even the provisional license test coming up typically only has a 50% success rate. Which is why starting today, each of you needs to come up with at least two ultimate moves!"

He made a come-here motion toward the door, and Midnight, Cementoss, and Ectoplasm came in.

Half the class stood and erupted in cheer, "Ultimate moves!"

"This is kinda like a school thing, but totally hero-like at the same time!"

As the class was briefed on their next ten days of training, Danzo stood around a scorched ash-filled room. His breathing was heavy and he wiped a drop of blood that ran down his cheek. After controlling his breathing his finger went along the crevice of the third Crack going down his face, "What a strong quirk..."

His phone rang, and he picked it up, "Yes?"

"We were unsuccessful in moving up Nagant's execution date. On top of that, AFO being brought to the prison has put them on higher alert. They aren't letting anyone who isn't the staff roam the prison anymore, not even someone like you. What do you think we should do from here?"

Danzo grimaced, "That's unfortunate... Perhaps someone else in the prison can be bribed to... make her disappear. Get it arranged; if she can't be killed through the system, then we must do it another way. She's a loose end that can't be allowed to live."

"Understood sir."

Back at the class's training spot, Midoriya stretched out. A light bulb went off in his head, 'Since I can control my quirk now... can I make a strong air blast with 8%?'

He held up his arm and aimed it at a concrete mound with a braced finger. When he released it, it let out a burst of wind, but it only blew away the dust on the ground. Midoriya sweatdropped and his arms fell to his sides, 'I don't think that would do much even if I got a gadget to focus it...'

He put his hand up to his chin and murmured to himself, "Can a really strong kick count as an ultimate move? My quirk is really all about enhanced strength... and I'm clearly not at the level All Might was where he could just manipulate the weather with punches... so if that's the case then"-

-"Issue, Midoriya?" Midoriya yelped and looked up at Ectoplasm.

"It's just that... my quirk isn't something that I can push the limits of safely... and I can't think of a traditional ultimate move."

"Hm, that's all true. Perhaps you should just focus on learning your quirk better for now."

"Yeah... I think so. Thank you."

Close by, Mina rolled her wrist, 'This will be a great opportunity to practice shooting out acid with more pressure.'

She furrowed her brow and backed away from a mound about 10 meters. She tensed her hand and tried to build up the pressure right behind her pours. 'Now just gotta make it come out of a small area...'
