{My Hero Academia} Working On Special Moves

"Stop taking my bacon!" Bakugou growled at Hailey, as he stabbed the piece of bacon, preventing it from leaving his plate and into Hailey's mouth.

"Then stop complaining that it's so greasy!" Hailey retorted, "It's also what you get for ridiculing my chocolate milk!"

Kirishima patted their shoulders in an attempt to keep the peace, "C'mon you guys, it's too early to start this." He chuckled awkwardly.

It was weird starting out the day in a dorm room. Hailey was so used to waking up as early as 6:40 in the morning to get ready for school, but now she was able to embrace the extra hours of sleep. Since the school was only a five minute walk from the dorms, Hailey felt that finally life was giving her a break from some excess stress.

Her classmates were relieved to see her returning to her usual self. Some were worried that the whole villain event would have traumatized her to a point where she would have changed in personality. She did, but not to the extent that her classmates would have noticed immediately. Hailey's sense of self worth depleted to a low point where she didn't see herself as powerful or worthy to be among her peers. She made a note to if anything were to convince her, she would speak to her teacher about what was on her mind.

"I believe that I've said this already, but your main focus this summer is obtaining provisional hero licenses." Mr Aizawa began, the students sensing his stress over the subject.

"Yes, sir!"

"Do not take this lightly," He warned in a stern tone. "A hero license means that you're responsible for human lives. You can imagine that the exam to receive one is very difficult. Only fifty percent of students pass the tests required for these permits each year."

Hailey felt her stomach drop at Mr Aizawa's words. Her fingers began to fiddle and twitch as she used her right hand to clutch the end of her black fabric wrist brace. Hailey felt her stress levels begin to rise fast, she almost wished that she had her visor to tell her what her body stats were, especially her heart rate.

"It's that hard to get a provisional license?" Mineta questioned, sounding worried.

Aizawa's eyes narrowed, "In order to prepare, today you'll concentrate on creating something new."

Suddenly, the classroom door slid open and when the students turned their heads to see who was there, the teachers Midnight, Ectoplasm and Cementoss entered the room.

"Two ultimate moves." Mr Aizawa finished, adding to the now determination that filled the room.

"ULTIMATE MOVES?!" Kirishima and Kaminari exclaimed in excited shock.

"An exam is a normal school thing!" Mina and Kaminari cried in happiness.

"But this is total hero work!" Kirishima and Sero concluded with the same enthusiasm.

"When we say 'ultimate', we mean a move that will ensure your victory against any opponent." Ectoplasm stated.

"An action so unique to your identity that no other person can hope to copy it. Simply put, you need to lean in to your strengths." Cementoss continued.

"Your moves represent who you are. These days, most pro heroes have an ultimate move. Those who don't are fools." Midnight added, holding her pose.

"This may sound abstract, but we'll explain more as the day goes on." Aizawa concluded and instructed his students to change into their hero costumes and to meet the teachers in Gym Gamma.

After leaving the classroom, Hailey couldn't shake the words of her teachers. At first, she felt determined and inspired to make up her own ultimate moves, but at the same time, Hailey felt discouraged.
