Katsuki twirled strands of my hair between his fingers as Mr. Aizawa talked.

"You'll be picking your code names today and taking a look to the agencies that have put in offers for you."

A list came up on the screen, my name was 3rd on the list with 1,356 offers.

"Bro I didn't even fight. What the fuck?" I looked back at Katsuki.

He scoffed. "It's your attitude that got that many offers, that and probably your sweet ass."

I chuckled a bit. "Bro what ass?"

Miss Midnight came through the door and we started to hand back whiteboards. "Pick something you'll stick with, it might be permanent."

I popped the cap off my marker and thought for a moment. "Well Lilac would be the obvious choice but also Perennial sounds kind of cool."

"Perennial fits, I like it." Katsuki scribbled away on his white board.

"I think that's it." I wrote it down and made my way to the front of the room to present it.

"First one up, that didn't take long." Midnight placed her hand on my shoulder. "What do we have?"

I sat the board up. "Perennial, it's a term that means they come back, flowers in particular."

"How perfect, I love it." Midnight patted me on the head.

"That's so perfect for you Roxanne." Izuku smiled.

Everyone was in agreement. I couldn't stop smiling as returned to my seat.

The rest of the class slowly worked through theirs and then Aizawa gave us the lists of agencies that had offered.

I read over the first page of my list and wasn't finding anything.

"For the ones with long lists, the highest ranking agencies will be on the back pages." Aizawa spoke.

Katsuki tore the back page off and singed the rest of the stack. "Should've said that 5 pages ago."

I flipped to the back page. Best Jeanist's , Endeavor's, the agency Kunami works for. I continued and my jaw dropped as I read the name. "Holy Fuck." I rubbed my eyes and looked again just to check. "I think I might die."

"Who are you freaking out about Petal?" Kirishima came up to my desk.

"The Winged Hero: Hawks, he wants me to come to his agency!" I shook my hands, fanning my face.

"He's that new hero right? He's like what? 22?" Kirishima sat on my desk.

"Yeah, 6 years apart. Big sad." I shrugged.

Kirishima burst into laughter. "Oh? So it's like that huh?"

"I mean, he could get it." I hid my blush behind my papers.

The bell rang for lunch.

"Sweet action." I got up and grabbed my bag. "Hey Tenya, are we still going to have lunch together?"

"Of course, let's go." Tenya grabbed his bag and then took my arm. "Shall we my lady?"

I chuckled a bit. "But of course good sir."

Tenya took my bag before he led us out of the classroom, headed for the lunch room.

"So, have you thought about what agency you're going to?" I asked.

"Well I was thinking about going to one in Hoshu, I've heard their program is most exceptional." Tenya wouldn't make eye contact with me.

"No."

"What?"

"You aren't going there, pick somewhere else."

Tenya chuckled a bit. "I assure you, I have no plans to 'seek revenge' or anything like that. I promise you."

I held out my pinky. "Promise me you won't go after him without me."

He smiled a bit and locked his pinky with mine. "If I happen to come across him I'll call for backup."

"Be careful my knight."
