"I know that you've been honing your Quirk and all, sweetie, but I swear..." Her mother sighed, cupping her cheek. "Don't act so recklessly next time, okay? Watching you fight out there was so hard to watch."

"Was I that bad?"

"Well, no, but," she stammered. "You gave me such a scare! I almost fainted after seeing you fight against that angry hedgehog boy!"

Himura couldn't help but smile. "You mean Bakugo?"

"Yes, him!" She abruptly pointed her chopsticks towards the peach-haired girl. "That boy! I could imagine how scared you were going up against him."

Was I scared..?

"I wasn't scared at all, actually," Himura replied, shaking her head. "And put your chopsticks away, please. It's rude to point with your chopsticks."

Her mother huffed. "I'm your mother."

She sweat-dropped. "It's still rude, mom..."

Next Day

Everyone hastily made their way to their seats the moment Aizawa stepped into the classroom.

"Morning," he grumbled.

"Good morning!" replied the class.

"Good to see your bandages off, Aizawa-sensei," Asui pointed out.

"The old lady's treatment was excessive," said Aizawa, rubbing his bottom eyelid. "But never mind that. Today we've got Hero Informatics class. And a special one at that."

There was silence and anticipation. The room felt heavy, and for a good reason. Himura patiently awaited for him to elaborate on what the class would be focusing on. Hopefully it wasn't going to be a test of some sort.

"You'll be coming up with your hero names."

Her face lit up at the sound of that concept.

Hero names! That sounds really interesting, she sighed a breath of relief. I'm not a very creative person, but I've always wanted to come up with my hero name.

"But first ... concerning the pro draft picks I mentioned the other day, it's based on who the pros think will be ready to join the hero workforce after two or three years of work experience. So, you could say that it's a way for them to show interest in your futures."

Himura spun her pencil in her hand once again, attentively listening to his explanation on how the heroes can cancel their offers at any time if the student chooses to wait. She suddenly wondered what would have happened if her mother became a Pro Hero and gave her an offer at her corporation.

That would've been fun.

"Now, here're the complete draft pick numbers." Aizawa gestured towards the blackboard behind him. "There's typically more of a spread, but our top two stole most of the spotlight."

Himura sat right under Bakugo at 421 offers, which baffled the girl. People want to recruit me? I have such an unsightly Quirk, though.

"With that settled, whether you were picked or not ... You will have a chance to work alongside the Pros," Aizawa said. "It's true that you all have already experienced more than most, but seeing the Pros in action and taking part yourselves will still be worthwhile training."

"That's where our hero names come in!" exclaimed Sato.

"They're only tentative, but you still want to pick something appropriate—"
