Sosaki watched as Kota nagged at Midoriya to eat something, waving his arms around wildly as he gestured at the boy's empty plate. After Water Hose had passed, the baby Alpha had been passed over to be in her care, since she was his aunt. But she's never been able to get Kota to interact with them as much as he was talking with Midoriya, stomping his foot and waving his arms around in a useless attempt to get Midoriya to eat.

She was well aware of who Midoriya was; the boy was an quirkless Omega that had been transferred into the Hero Course after he won the Sports Festival, coming in first for every event even though he had fierce competition from other powerful Alphas and Betas. She knew that it was no small feat that Midoriya managed to do so; Aizawa was one of the only Omegas in Japan that managed to make it to the hero course, though he put in a lot of effort to disguise himself as a Beta by always be on suppressants to hide his scent, and he had only succeeded in becoming a hero by entering the General Education course and transferring to the Hero Course.

However, despite his efforts and hard work, the poor kid had been booed by practically everyone in the stands for being a quirkless Omega that didn't adhere to societal norms, that he had no right to beat the other Alphas in the hero course because Omegas weren't supposed to be stronger than Alphas in any way. Obviously, that made some of the other Alphas in the General Education mad, but UA didn't really care either way, transferring Midoriya to the Hero Course almost immediately, though that had been pushed forward due to the League's attack on UA after the internships.

UA was very first school in Japan to open their doors to Omegas, allowing them to learn skills necessary to hold jobs, just like Alphas and Betas. They also were the first to allow Omegas to enter the Hero Course, but due to how the entrance exam was structured, it was almost impossible for Omegas to stand a chance. The written exams weren't much of a problem, since it wasn't a physical exercise, and most Omegas do well in the written examination, and were able to enter the General Education Courses, Support Courses and Management Courses.

But the Hero Course was a whole different story. The few brave Omegas who actually had powerful quirks and had decided to try out for the Hero Course couldn't do anything in the huge crowd of aggressive, dominant Alphas who destroyed everything around them, being practically incapacitated by their own instincts and natural submissiveness.

Omegas like Aizawa and Midoriya who had managed to train themselves out of listening to their instincts were rare, but it really didn't help that they didn't have compatible quirks to aid them in the exam; Erasure was useless against robots, and Midoriya didn't even have a quirk. Being unable to garner enough Villain Points fast enough and not being flashy enough to attract the judges attention for Rescue Points made it difficult for them to enter the Hero Course, not to mention the stigma against Omegan heroes in general resulting in biased judging.

Quirkless kids had terrible lives, and most of them usually ended up committed suicide due to relentless bullying and suicide baiting. Omegas didn't have it easy either, being naturally submissive and easy to take advantage of, so she had to admit, she was honestly surprised that Midoriya managed to last long enough to even live to the age of fifteen.

She was glad that Kota had managed to open up to someone, though. Kota had been devastated by the deaths of their parents, believing that they chose their hero work over him, and naturally, developed a twisted, cynical view towards heroes. The young Alpha was also stubborn, and refused to listen to anything that Sosaki told him, and she was honestly worried that her nephew had hardened his heart to the point that he would never accept heroes again, even though they were an important part of their society.

But somehow, the quirkless Omega had managed to worm his way into Kota's heart, and she couldn't be happier that Kota was finally opening up.

Tsuchikawa followed the brunette Alpha's gaze, landing on Kota as he somehow managed to convince Midoriya to eat something, and for some absurd reason, the silent Omega had chosen a small piece of broccoli.
