Bakugo ran at Izuku, screaming, "Deku!! You damn bastard!!!" Just then, he was stopped by Aizawa's scarf. Aizawa said, "Stop using your quirk. You're giving me dry eye." Bakugo growled and went back to stand with the other students. He turned to Izuku to see Orion walking to him. Orion held out a bandage, "Here. Let me take of that for you. It'd be bad if you had to do the other tests with an injury like that." Izuku smiled, "Thank you, Orion. But, where did you get that bandage?" Orion smirked, "That's my little secret. For now at least." Izuku looked puzzled as Orion walked back to join the other students. Kirishima asked, "Hey, do you know him or something?" Orion nodded, "We met a few weeks before and became friends when finding out we were both going to UA. Why do you ask?" Kirishima blushed, "No reason." He turned to Izuku, who was walking back towards the students, "He's really cute." Orion stared at Kirishima before letting out a little chuckle. They continued with the tests and finished up by gathering around Aizawa. Aizawa said, "I'll show you all your results immediately. Going through them one at a time would take forever. Here they are." He turned on a digital screen to show the results. Orion smiled, "First place. Nice." Izuku stared in horror as his name was in last place. Aizawa said, "Oh, yeah. That whole expulsion thing was just a ruse to get you all to try your hardest. It was a rational deception." Many students from the class screamed in outrage. Yaoyorozu said, "You didn't know. Sorry, I thought it was obvious. I should've said something sooner." Orion looked at her, "What are you talking about? He was serious about expelling someone." Everyone turned to Orion. Tsu said, "But Mr. Aizawa said that it was just a ruse." Orion sighed, "That was the lie. He just changed his mind at the last minute. Last year, he expelled an entire class of first years. Don't think that he wouldn't expel everyone here if he had the chance." There were gasps coming from several other students. Aizawa said, "Smart. Yeah, what he said was true. Anyways, the papers you need are in the class. Take them and go home. Midoriya. Here, take this slip and go see Recovery Girl." Izuku took the slip, "Thank you." He walked away and went straight for the nurse's office. Orion watched him and turned his gaze toward his father, who had been watching from behind the building for some time. 

Izuku walked out of the office after being healed by Recovery Girl. He was still a bit drowsy after the treatment, but was able to walk straight. "Izuku." He turned back to see Orion walking up to him. Orion said, "Here, I grabbed your things and put the papers Aizawa left for us inside them. I made sure that there wasn't anything else left." Orion handed Izuku his giant yellow backpack. Izuku smiled, "Thank you very much Orion." Orion nodded, "Come on. Let's go outside." As the two walked to the gates, they were called out. They turned to see Uraraka and Ida walking towards them. Orion waved at them, "Hi. Uraraka and Ida, correct?" Ida nodded, "Yes. Ida Tenya. Pleased to meet you." Orion said, "Likewise." Uraraka said, "Oh. You're Orion and you're...Deku!!" Izuku jumped, "Deku?" Uraraka giggled, "Yeah. Isn't that what that Bakugo kid called you?" Izuku explained, "Actually, Deku is just what Kacchan calls me to insult me." Uraraka frowned, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. But, Deku sounds like a cool hero name. It gives off a never give up vibe!" Izuku said, "I'm Deku." Ida said, "But you just said that it was an insult." Orion said, "Leave him be. This will help him feel better when Bakugo calls him Deku." The four students walked out of the gate. Orion said, "Well, I'll see you three tomorrow." Uraraka asked, "Aren't you coming with us to the train station?" Orion said, "No. My home is in the opposite direction and I have a different means of getting there. Uraraka said, "Oh. Okay. See ya tomorrow then." The three students waved Orion good-bye as they headed for the train station.

All Might walked into the house, a condo that overlooked the city. Orion was already at the microwave reheating the dinner he had made. All Might said, "Thank you Orion." Orion said, "No problem. How was your first day as a teacher?" All Might said, "It was All Might." Orion glared at him, "Never make that dad joke ever again." All Might sweat-dropped, "Understood. Anyway, how was your first day as a student?" Orion said, "It was alright." All Might smiled, "Well, that's good. But remember, tomorrow, you have me for your hero studies. And we'll be doing battle training." Orion took out the food, "That sounds kind of pointless for me. I've done plenty of battle training before. It's nothing special." All Might said, "Well I have something really special in mind." Orion sat down, "It isn't that two pairs of villains versus heroes thing where the villains have a fake nuclear bomb and that the heroes either need to capture the villains or  touch the bomb to win, is it?" All Might frowned. Orion let out a sigh, "Not that it matters. But, they'll all find out who I am tomorrow. The only goof thing is that I'll get to try out my new costume."
