In the end Kacchan won the sports festival, and to his dismay Todoroki never used his fire. He almost did, almost.

"Nice work everyone," Ai-chan mumbled, "I'm sure many pros will look into your class to take internships with them. For now, you'll be able to take the next two days off. Be mindful, you still have training to endure."

"Yes sir!"

Internships...I wonder...

My thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing of my phone, as I pulled it out from my pocket my grip tightened over it at the sight of the caller ID. "Huh, hey Kana, are you alright?" Ururaka asked, "yeah...totally fine," I smiled, placing the phone on the table, screen down. "I wonder how Iida is doing, I hope he's alright," Deku changed the subject. He and Ururaka continued to discuss about Iida as my phone buzzed again, this time a text message.

You're not answering my calls, I'll be calling again soon. Answer, otherwise consider your school days done for.

I balled my fist, "I'll be right back, I have to make a quick call." Rising from my seat, I hurriedly ran out of the room with my phone stopping near the stairway. As he had said the phone began to ring, I sighed waiting a moment before answering.

"Hello?"

"Good. You answered."

"I wasn't left with very much of a choice...sir. What is it that you need?"

"Now, now, don't be hasty. I'd like to speak with my daughter is that not enough of a reason?"

I felt my body tense, that wasn't why he was calling. It couldn't be.

"I watched you during your match against Endeavor's child. You lost, how disappointing..."

"However, you did catch the attention of many pros,"

His words were beginning to sound condescending a slight venomous tone beneath it. I sighed, "thank you for watching sir. Is there anything else you would like to say? I have to speak with my teacher," I lied.

"Yes, yes, now the main reason I called," I could hear the devilish undertone as he spoke, "there's something I need you to do. In the case that any of the top pro hero's pick you to intern you must decline. I have set up your internship at the Endeavor agency." I tensed, did he know of the offer? Was he behind it the whole time?

"I'm sorry sir, I had already chosen which internship I was going to attend," I bit my lip, afraid of the next words.

"Is that so? Let me guess it'll be with one of those idiots you're always with. Decline, you'll attend the internship I chose for you. Nothing more,"

"But...sir,"

"End of discussion."

Then silence, clutching at my phone I stared at the ground. The words 'yes father' leaving my mouth barely audible. I looked out the window, the rain slowly coating the glass as I stared at it. I flinched as a thunder clap echoed through the halls then simply walked back to class.

The next morning as I took my seat, I felt eyes on me, "hey...is everything okay? You didn't come back after that phone call," Deku whispered. I nodded, faking a quick smile before looking towards the front. "Hey, princess, who was calling you?" Kacchan demanded, his feet resting on top of my desk, I shoved them lightly as my eyes met his, "no one important. Just a wrong number," I told him. "Yeah...okay."

"Alright listen up, today's class will be about hero informatics," Ai-chan groaned. Tsu raised her hand, "Mr Aizawa your bandages are off, that's good." I stared at his new scar, it looks kind of cool, it even makes him seem more handsome, I smiled at my own thought. "Yeah the old lady went overboard in treatment," he shuddered. "Now as I was saying, hero informatics, you'll be choosing your hero identities today."

"Here, I have those of you who got the most offers," Ai-chan clicked a button, the black board showing off names and numbers of offers. "Woah...Todoroki got the most offers ahead of Bakugo," Kirishima spoke, "and Kana got almost equally as much as Bakugo. That's amazing. I guess having a powerful and flashy quirk really pays off." I locked eyes with Ai-chan he knows why I got the offers, clearly all work of my dotting parents. I turned to look at Todoroki, "that's amazing you did get a lot of offers," I smiled, he scoffed softly, "probably all because of my dad." "I can relate," I mumbled quietly, my attention diverting back to Ai-chan. "What?" He turned towards me, from the corner of my eye I saw him lean in a little, "oh, nothing."

Just then the classroom door slid open, midnight walking into the class, "these code names should be taken seriously. You could end up with these for life." "Thats right, midnight here will have final approval of names, so choose wisely. Goodnight," Ai-chan mumbled as he slid into his worm like sleeping bag.

I stared down at the blank whiteboard before me, unsure of what to write. "Students, who's ready to come up here and present?" Midnight called. Aoyama skipped forward, showing off his sentence rather than name, followed by Ashido, although Ashido didn't quite make the cut. Next was Tsu, her code name actually being very cute, "Froppy." Each person began going up, each picking and getting approved by midnight. "This is going much faster than I thought, who's up next?" Midnight smiled, her eyes glazing through the class. I stood from my seat, "I guess I'll go," I said as I walked to the front of the room. I took a deep breath as I flipped over the white board to the class, "the elemental hero: princess." The class went silent for a minute, Kacchan's eyes widened slightly and a light blush sprinkled over his cheeks.

"Interesting, what's the origin of this name?" Midnight cupped her chin in thought. "Origin? Umm...it's a nickname someone gave me a long time ago, I didn't like it for a while but I guess it stuck. Honestly, I thought I'd end up with a different name," I rubbed the back of my head, nervous at the silence." "I think it's fitting! It's totally accurate!" I heard kirishima shout, "yeah! Not to mention how well the name fits with her costume," Mineta gaped, his hand squeezing something invisible.

"Now that the names are picked, you'll have until the weekends to turn these in. So choose wisely," Midnight nodded. "Here's the list for those of you who didn't get offers, as for those who did, here's yours," she handed off packets. I stared down at mine, an inaudible sigh leaving my body.

Endeavor's agency and that's final, huh?

"Oi, princess, are you alright? You've been acting weird since yesterday," Kacchan snacked a hand down on my papers. "Everything's fine, I'm just having a hard time choosing an agency. I never thought I'd get offers since I didn't place very highly," I smiled, he seemed to think about it, "that's not it," he concluded, "but I won't push for anymore." I silently thanked him.

"And it doesn't matter how many offers you get, I'm still going to be number one," he said before digging his hands in his pockets. I watched him leave, "and of course," I smiled to myself before writing down the final say to my agency.
