You entered the Endeavor's training facility, and your eyes were amazed by how huge the space was. You were not surprised by how much money Endeavor has racked up over years of being a hero. You looked towards the ceiling and saw an observation room where you noticed students gathering around to witness the event. Some of the students took the event seriously and had their pens and papers out, ready to take notes; it was giving Deku vibes all the way back from the UA days. Others were just waiting around and chit-chatting with their peers. Nonetheless, you smiled that Japan (well, Endeavor) had something like this to help the students learn through other pro heroes.

Today is the annual pro-hero training exercise the heroes put together to showcase their skills and quirk power to the student intern. The point of the showcase is to demonstrate how to be an effective hero given whatever situation you are placed in. The fact that everyone has some awareness of the other hero's quirks makes it highly relatable because villains and citizens are aware of any hero's power, strengths, and weaknesses. This showcase will allow the students to observe how their mentors and other heroes engage in certain activities.

Plus, this event was a good training practice with other pro heroes to test their strengths and abilities and observe any areas for self-improvement.

You continued to be lost in your thoughts until a familiar sound struck your ears, "Hey, Ren! Glad to see you made it!" Izuku came up behind you.

You turned around and embraced the young hero with open arms. "Thank you for inviting me."

"No problem! I am glad you decided to join us. Your quirk is very interesting, and it would be great for the students to observe and learn since it is multifaceted.

"You're the one to talk, ohh chosen one," you joked around, closing your eyes and bowing your head at your green-haired friend, referencing One For All.

"Hey, hey, hey," Midoriya frantically waved his hand back and forth, wishing you would stop embarrassing him.

You suddenly felt a warm embrace from behind while you were talking to Izuku. At first, you didn't know who it was, but then you noticed bright red feathered wings surrounding your body.

"Hey, birdman," you smiled as you turned around, embracing Keigo with a big hug. "Looks like you are also here to join the training exercise."

"Why yes, I am. Endeavor always hovers this over my head every time. But, I promise I won't overdo it like last time." he shifted his body weight to his left leg as his eyes looked at the ceiling, recollecting his past training exercises with you as an intern.

"Oh shit, that's right." You pulled back as you reflected on the last time you engaged in a training seminar. "If I remember correctly, I was a third-year, and Tokoyami and I had to go against you."

"Oh yeah, I remember that," Hawks placed his hand behind his head.

"YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!!!" You punched Keigo in the chest hard enough that Hawks lunged forward as he placed his hand over his heart. His facial expression was enough to show that he felt that initial pain.

"I didn't mean to! Sheesh," Keigo started to rub his chest. "Why did you hit me so hard? Plus, you were a tough opponent, especially with Tokoyami as your partner." Keigo readjusted himself as he stood tall. "I may have wits, adaptability, and speed; however, the one thing you and Tokoyami have over me is power. Strength-wise, your quirk overpowered mine. Plus, I would do anything that I know you couldn't handle."

"Yea, yea. Great comeback." You rolled your eyes at him knowing what he was saying was a bunch of bullshit, but you can help but laugh it off. "You lucky I survived, or else I woulda HAUNTED your ass from the grave!" You joked around with your old mentor as Deku stood there, looking out of place for a minute.
