Izuku’s POV
Izuku stepped out of the meeting room, muttering softly to himself, “Aizawa-sensei trusts you. You need to gain his trust back. Yes... I can't fail this mission. This time, for sure, I’m going to reach out to Eri. Her little trembling hands—I failed to save her once from Overhaul... Oh yeah, where is Kaminari-kun?”
Izuku's heart plummeted at the sight of Kaminari’s scrunched-up face—pale, in pain, breathing erratically.
Panic sets in. “Oh no, oh no... What does a Pro Hero do in this situation? No, no—Izuku, what does a friend do?” His thoughts raced. “Is he hurt? Is it because of those bruises on his neck? Or—wait—is it his Lichtenberg scars flaring up? When did he use his quirk?”
Izuku stepped toward Denki’s hunched figure on the beanbag. But someone brushed past him—it was Togata Mirio-senpai. Izuku’s dark green eyes narrowed as he watched Togota Mirio senpai kneel down in front of Kaminari.

Elsewhere at the Hero Commission’s Institution for Remedial License Training
Bakugou Katsuki's eye twitched at the sight of Heiji James. He was an anomaly.
More than just a fearful underdog within the Hero Commission, Heiji—dressed sharply in a crisp black suit and speaking in a Kansai accent—acted childishly, hardly the demeanor of a man with a license to kill.
Katsuki had heard the name James before—Deku would ramble about him while scribbling into his Hero Analysis notebooks.
Heiji James was infamous. Ruthless. Feared—second only to Lady Nagant among Commission agents.
Katsuki clicked his tongue, watching Heiji twirl in a chair. Meera ignored the spectacle, continuing his quiet observations of Katsuki, Todoroki Shoto, and the other students progress.
Heiji’s dark eyes locked onto Katsuki with a mischievous feline gleam.
He whispered, “Where is Kaminari Denki right now?”
Bakugou’s palm moved instinctively, quirk almost igniting. He cursed.
Heiji blinked, smirking.
Katsuki clicked his tongue and turned away, muttering, “Don’t speak his name when you don’t know anything about him, bastard.”
Heiji's smirk widened. “What if I know everything? I've been keeping tabs on your sunshine buddy. His quirk is fascinating... and that hero costume...” He paused.
“Ah, I miss Doll-chan already.”
