After the Battle Trials, Morbius and Yaoyorozu were beginning their next day at UA. Morbius was being more distant than usual. Yaoyorozu noticed this and became concerned. 

Yaoyorozu: Are you okay Michael? You seem awfully distant today.

Morbius: I'm fine Momo. It's nothing. 

Yaoyorozu: Michael....you and I both know something's bothering you. Is it about what happened at the Battle Trials. 

Morbius was silent for a moment. That silence confirmed Yaoyorozu's worries. She sat down next to him. 

Yaoyorozu: It wasn't your fault Michael. Jiro and Kaminari have forgiven you.

Morbius: Maybe they have, but what about the others? They all saw what happened. They all saw how I lost control and what I'm capable of. 

Yaoyorozu tried to comfort Morbius. She knew that he blamed himself for nearly losing control. She hated seeing him like this. But before she could further comfort Morbius, Aizawa entered the class with an announcement. 

Aizawa: Let's get down to homeroom business. Sorry about the short notice, but today you'll be......

Everyone in Class 1-A held their breath. Even Morbius was curious about what Aizawa had planned for today. 

Aizawa:.....picking a class representative. 

After that, a sigh of relief was sighed as everyone began making their case for class representative. All except Morbius. Morbius felt unqualified for the job. But as the students began debating, Iida spoke up. 

Iida:  Silence please! Being a class representative is a job with the serious responsibility of leading others! If we want to use democracy to decide on a true leader, then we should hold a class election to elect one.

Morbius agreed with Iida's statement. He felt it was the best way to decide on a leader. The class soon voted for who would they think should be class representative. As silence gripped the class, Morbius looked around. He then saw Momo and smiled. 

Morbius: (Momo.....)

Morbius then placed his vote for Yaoyorozu. When the voting ended, Midoriya won by one vote. He quickly stepped down and passed the title onto Iida, who humbly accepted his offer. Yaoyorozu was made vie president of the class. When she returned to her seat, Morbius smiled. 

Morbius: Congratulations Momo. 

Yaoyorozu: Thank you Michael! Who did you vote for?

Morbius: Why you of course.

Upon hearing that, Yaoyorozu was caught off guard. 

Yaoyorozu: Y....you did?

Morbius: Yes. You're smart, kind, intelligent and so many other things. If anyone's qualified to be class representative, it's you. 

Yaoyorozu blushed at this. She had placed her vote for Morbius, despite knowing that he would no doubt refuse. She wanted to boost his confidence. But before they could continue their conversation, Aizawa interrupts. 

Aizawa: Could I have a word for you Morbius?

Morbius: Of course Mr. Aizawa. 

Aizawa led Morbius outside the classroom. Morbius was confused as to why Aizawa wanted to speak with him in private.

Aizawa: Care to explain what happened at the Battle Trials?

Upon hearing that question, Morbius's heart dropped. His face turned into a sorrowful expression. 

Morbius: I.....I lost control of myself. My....Quirk took control. 

Aizawa: I read the report on your Quirk. That is makes you into a Vampire. 

Morbius: More or less.

Aizawa: And that includes drinking blood?

Morbius: I need blood to maintain my powers. But due to that, I tend to....lose myself in my thirst. 

Aizawa: I see. How does Yaoyorozu fit into this?

Yaoyorozu: She uses her Quirk to create blood. With that, I won't have to......

Aizawa: I understand. Listen kid, don't think I'm judging you. It looks like you're learning to control your....urges. 

Morbius laments on that. Ever since he was born, this Quirk has isolated him. His thirst for blood to maintain his powers offered him nothing but a lonely existence. Yaoyorozu was his way out. 

Morbius: Every day is a struggle. I live wit this....beast in me. I fear that if I lose control, I'll hurt someone. And if I did....I don't know if I would be able to live with myself....

Aizawa took note of Morbius's response. He had no idea what it was like to live with this insatiable hunger. This Quirk was like nothing Aizawa's ever seen before. 

Aizawa: I don't know what it's like to deal with a Quirk like yours. But if anything happens, I might be able to stop it with mine. In the meantime, keep working on keeping your thirst in check. 

Morbius: I understand. 

Aizawa: Good. Now that we have an understanding, let's head back to class.

After that conversation, Aizawa and Morbius entered the classroom. Morbius took his seat next to Yaoyorozu.

Yaoyorozu: How did it go? 

Morbius: It went....fine. 

Yaoyorozu: Are you sure? 

Morbius: Yes Momo. 

As Morbius said that, he looked upon Momo's face and reflected on the kindness she and her family had given him. Despite his Quirk and his appearance, Yaoyorozu and her family had taken him in and treated him like their own. Morbius was eternally grateful as he smiled. 

Yaoyorozu: Michael?

Morbius: Thank you Momo. For everything. 

Morbius then hugged her. Yaoyorozu blushed from this unexpected display of affection as she hugged back. After that, Aizawa made an announcement to the class.

Aizawa: Now that we got the class rep, get your Hero costumes and meet me at the bus. We're going to USJ for Rescue training.

As Aizawa made that announcement, everyone in Class 1-A got dressed in their Hero Costumes and met with Aizawa on the bus. As the bus made it's way to the USJ facility, a plot is set in motion that will test the resolve of Class 1-A.
