"All done", the Youthful Heroine commented as she finished detaching most of the bandages from the injured Aizawa Shouta. Although some of the bandages were still left but only to a minimum. They were already at the final stages of his treatment so it was already safe to assume that most of the pro hero's bruises have healed up which just left a lot of scars all over his body. The man was definitely grateful for the elder hero's help but how he delivered the words thank you very much was, like always, monotone and lifeless.

[Name] wasn't far from the road to recovery either. There had been no signs of the child unconsciously using her quirk which was apparent in her sleep. In retrospect, they could even consider  [name] as an average quirkless teenager who just happens to have been locked inside her home for the most of her life.
Recovery Girl has also decided that she didn't need her daily checkups and vitals monitored.

"What should you say?", Aizawa looked at [name] as if reminding her of something.

The child stopped for a moment to recall what his guardian tried to imply. She then went to face the elder heroine and bowed. "Thank you very much, Chiyo-san"

Recovery Girl became surprised as first but eventually replied "You're very welcome, dear" as she gave a pat and lightly ruffled her hair. Just like man, she was already fond of [name] but unlike him, she showed it. "Teaching her some manners, my boy?", she said with a slight grin as he turned to face Aizawa.

"Yes. She may have been educated with all the necessary information but she lacks common world knowledge. That's what I want to instill in her as a part of her training" The man had glanced over to the child and, just for a brief moment, a light smile was painted on his lips. The elder heroine noticed but didn't pay any afterthoughts.

And since Class 1-A's homeroom teacher has finally recovered, he immediately went to work and did what he should have done during the time when he was still invalid. The pro hero had taken back all the work that he had instilled with All Might and Present Mic and finished them within the two-day vacation that they had. Aizawa also had to make the most of the time for [name]'s training. The man had instructed for the young teen to undergo intensive meditation exercises as a first step for her to be able to improve her mental strength.

Since [name] didn't participate in the Sports Festival, there was no way that she would be given any offers from any pro hero. Although there were recruitment agencies that would be willing to take in interns, it would just be too risky since she was still training. And even though she was not an official member of the class, she was still, in a way, part of it and it was evident that she gain the same kind of experience as the others.

The pro hero was clicking his pen on the table non-stop while staring at the monitor of his personal computer as if in deep thought. His co-workers noticed his strained expression and decided to talk to the man.

"Is there something wrong, Aizawa-kun?" All Might asked as he approached the latter in his form with lesser muscle. His tall and thin figure peered over the raven haired man's side and examined the papers he had in hand. "That's the file for [name]'s internship, isn't it? Are  you having trouble deciding for her?"

Aizawa simply replied with a nod which was then immediately followed by a groan and a sigh. The Symbol of Peace could easily read the dilemma that his co-worker was in and decided to share his ideas with him, hoping that it could help.

"Umm... well, if you're that troubled then why don't you take her in as a recruit for yourself?", there  was a moment of silence before the man decided to react to his co-worker's suggestion.

"All Might-san, do you really understand the purpose of these internships?", the tall male flinched at the other's words. Aizawa knew that he was just trying to help but the way he uttered those words sounded so mean and straightforward. "Okay. Let me rephrase my question. Do you think that [name] can reach her full potential if she works under me?"

"Well that's..."

It was understandable that Aizawa just wanted what was best for [name]. Just like normal internships, the goal is to provide real work experiences that will give students opportunities to explore their interests and develop professional skills and competencies. He was concerned with the fact that if he miscalculated and let [name] end up in an agency that wasn't fit for her then their hard work and progress might not become worth it at all.

This guy... why won't he just admit that he's worried about the girl , All Might thought as he observed the scrunched up face of his colleague. "Arent you underestimating yourself too much? How about this then... Why don't you ask young [name]'s opinion and once you've both thought it through then ask for a second opinion from the principal?"

The raven haired man's face contemplated but agreed eventually. He wanted to get the papers for the internship done by the end of the day but he still had [name] to think of. So he decided to take his work home and finish it their. Aizawa had already asked for Principal Nezu's view and would just await for [name]'s response so he could also think it over as well.

"Welcome back home, Aizawa-san", the young teen greeted as she was met with the tall figure heading up the stairs to their floor.

"[Name]? What are you doing outside? And what's that?", the man asked as he approached her, pointing to the casserole she was holding.

"Mrs. Kuronuma gave this to me. She said this was Japanese Beef Casserole with Miso Wasabi Mash. She said that she's been trying to cook different recipes recently and accidentally made too much of it so she decided to give some for dinner"

A smile pursed the man's lips as [name] explained. Besides the people from school, it seemed as though his own landlady had taken a liking to the young teen. And for [name] to be able to socialize with normal people became a proven fact of how much she's matured and grown.

"Is that so? Did you say 'Thank you' then?"

"Yes"

"Good. Let's head inside. I still have a few things to go over after dinner"
