After the U.A sports festival, the students were allowed to rest for a few days.
It was to let the students recuperate from any Injury they might have gotten.
Hazuki was already on his way towards the station. He had an umbrella with him since it was a rainy day.
No one came to bother him about the U.A sports festival. Maybe it was because of the umbrella, which was hiding his appearance. But that all changed once he entered the train.
"Hey! Isn't that Hazuki Hayate?! The 2nd placer in the U.A sports festival?!" A shocked female voice said.
"Oh! That's right it was him!" Another voice replied as people started staring at Hazuki's direction.
People started whispering among themselves as they talked about Hazuki.
The train was soon completely filled with people. And Hazuki was in the limelight within the train.
"Good work on the festival..!" A man said after he attracted Hazuki's attention by tapping him on the shoulders.
"Yeah, I like what you did there young man!" Another man near Hazuki said. They were completely agreeing to Hazuki's actions during the Sports festival.
"Young people should be like you.. Honest and passionate..!" An elderly man said as he gazed at Hazuki, with face full of smiles.
"Thank you!" Was all Hazuki can reply, he couldn't possibly say. 'Yeah, I agree to my actions too.'.
After getting out of the station, Hazuki ran towards U.A.
While he was on the way, he saw Izuku walking by himself. He approached Izuku and said, "Hey! Izuku, what's up? Any progress with Uraraka?"
Izuku, who heard Hazuki's question, became embarrassed.
"That's not how it is, Hazuki-kun! Me and Uraraka has a completely healthy friendship! Moreover, how can I even do that?! I couldn't even talk to a girl properly.." Izuku said. while he only muttered the latter part of his sentence.
"What? I didn't even say anything. Why are you so defensive?" Hazuki teased Izuku causing the latter to emit smoke from his head due to embarrassment.
Splashing sounds came from behind them as someone called them out.
"Good morning, Hazuki-kun! Midoriya-kun!" Iida greeted them as he continued running.
"Why are the both of you walking so slowly? Were going to be late!"
"Late? There's still 5 minutes till the first period!"
"U.A students should arrive 10 minutes earlier!"
After that Izuku and Hazuki joined Iida. They ran towards the Main school building and came to their classroom together.
Talking voices were heard after they opened the sliding door of their classroom.
"I had all these people talking to me on the way here!"
"Yeah, same for me too!"
"Just after a single event and suddenly the world has it's eye on us.."
"As expected of U.A!"
Hazuki, Izuku and Iida came inside and sat on their respective seats.
"How about you, Hazuki-san? For sure you've been swarmed by people on your way here.." Toru asked Hazuki right after he sat.
"That's obvious! That manly display of strength will definitely attract attention!" Kirishima said.
"Yeah, yeah! Who wouldn't talk about him after that performance." Kaminari added.
Bakugou who heard kaminari's words, recalled what happened a few days ago.
"Be quiet, Damn it!" Snarled Bakugou towards Kaminari.
While they were talking to each other, the door of the classroom opened. Revealing Aizawa wearing his regular Hero-outfit.
"Morning." Greeted Aizawa.
"Good morning." The class greeted back in unison after going back to their seats.
"Aizawa-sensei, good to see you without the bandages." Asui said.
"The old woman went too far with her treatment." Aizawa replied.
"But enough about that, Today we've got Hero Informatics class, and a special one at that." Aizawa announced after answering Asui.
'Here it is!' They all thought.
While there are more of them, who are visibly more nervous after hearing the word 'Special' and 'Hero Informatics.
Kaminari thought, 'Special? Is it a quiz? I hope not..'
'I'm bad at laws concerning Hero work and Stuff like that..' Kirishima nervously thought.
"Code name. You'll be coming up with Hero names." Aizawa declared.
All of them cheered as they thought about finally doing something related to being Heroes. 'Were going to do something exciting!'.
"Tch!" Aizawa clicked his tongue after seeing them so disorganized just after hearing about code names.
"This is related to the Hero draft picks I mentioned the other day. Normally it was extended only for 2nd years and 3rd years after they have gained experience and can immediately become assets to the pro-heroes. In other words, extending this offer to 1st years like you shows that they are interested in your future potential." Aizawa patiently explained.
"These offers are often cancelled if that interest dies down by graduation."
"Adults are so selfish..!" Mineta said as he smacked his desk.
"And, here are the totals for those with offers." Aizawa clicked on his phone to display the results on the blackboard.
Hazuki: 5913
Todoroki: 4123
Bakugou: 3556
Midoriya: 2911
Tokoyami: 562
Iida: 521
...
.....
....
Hero agencies and Pro-heroes can extend offers to multiple students that caught their eyes, and obviously, Hazuki attracted their attention the most.
"In other years, It's more spread out, but almost all of them were focusing on the Three."
"Gah! Such big difference.." Kaminari said after seeing his name garnering so few offers.
"I already expected Hazuki-san to receive many offer.. But to think it would be this many.." Jiro said. She was amazed by the sheer number of offers extended to Hazuki.
"Midoriya-chan also received many offers. Good for you." Asui said.
"As expected of the one restrained on-stage, Bakugou received so many offers." Sero said, his face showing 'That's inevitable.' expression.
"What did you say?! I'll kill you, scum!" Bakugou snarled towards Sero.
The other's who received offers were also excited. Like Uraraka, she was too excited and was Shaking Iida by his shoulders.
Tears of joy were already flowing down Izuku's eyes after he saw the offers extended to him. He was too thrilled about the offers.
In the past, he could only dream of becoming a Hero, but now he was already receiving Offers from bona fide Hero agencies!.
Yaoyaruzu also congratulated Todoroki, but he didn't even glance at her and said. "They're probably all because of my old man."
"Whether you received Offers or not, you will all be participating in Internships with the pro's. That was because you already experienced combat with villain's in the U.S.J attack. But it will still be a valuable experience for you to see Pro's work firsthand." Aizawa slowly explained after seeing those who didn't receive an offer with a gloomy expression.
"So that explains the Hero names!"
"Well, those hero names are still temporary, but if you're not serious about it--" "You'll have hell to pay later!"
Aizawa was Interrupted as the door opened, revealing the Pro-hero Midnight.
After seeing Midnight, Some of the boys were obviously thrilled and started blushing.
"Because a lot of hero name's used by students become recognized by society, they end up becoming professional hero names!" Midnight explained why they should not be half-assed in choosing their Hero names.
"Well, that's how it is. Midnight here will make sure your hero names are okay. I can't do well in stuff like that." Aizawa said.
"When you give yourself a name, you get a more concrete image of what you wanted to be like in the future, and get closer to it. That's what they mean by 'Name and Nature do often agree.'. Like 'All might' for example." Then he opened his sleeping bag and started sleeping.
They were given a Whiteboard and a Marker to write whatever Hero name they wanted.
After a few minutes, Midnight announced. "Okay, let's start presenting names, Starting from those who are ready."
Aoyama was the first to present. He then proceeded to raise his whiteboard up. What's written was 'Shining Hero: I can not stop twinkling.', a narcissist indeed.
They students were dumbfounded. 'It's a sentence!'. And when they saw midnight allowing it and even modified the name, they gave up.
It was Ashido's turn next. And the name she came up was 'Alien Queen'. Even midnight was creeped out and advised her not to.
The students felt that they were also supposed to make it funny. Because the earlier presentations made the atmosphere weird.
The next one was Asui, she proposed the name 'Rainy season Hero: Froppy.'. She said she was already thinking about that name way back from elementary school.
It was immediately accepted, and that also saved the supposedly serious atmosphere.
Class A's students proposed their Hero names one by one. Then it was Bakugou's turn.
"King explosion murder." he said.
"You probably shouldn't use names like that." Midnight advised.
"It should be Explosion boy." Kaminari said.
"Shut up, weird Hair!"
"No, it should be, Chained Hero: King of the Restricted!" Kaminari said.
"What did you say?! I'll kill you, b*star!!" Bakugou shouted after hearing Kaminari's suggestion.
After a few more minutes.
"Choosing hero names is going more smoothly than I thought! All that's left is Bakugou, who needs to rethink his, Iida, Midoriya and Hazuki." Midnight said.
The first one to present among the one's left is Iida. He proposed the Hero name 'Tenya'. Same as Todoroki who also used his First name.
Then Izuku, who Proposed the Hero name 'Deku'.
His classmates were worried about him being called like that forever, and tried to persuade him.
But Izuku has already decided. He said, "I didn't like this name until now. But someone changed the meaning of it, and that made a huge impact one me. It made me really happy. This is my Hero name."
After all that, only Hazuki was left without a Hero name. He walked towards the podium and presented his Hero name.
"This is going to be my Hero name." Hazuki raised the whiteboard in his hand.
"Rikudō Sennin: Susanoo." (Gah! I'm very bad with names! Same case for mc's name. Chuuni intensifying*)
"Why did you choose this name, Hazuki?" Midnight asked.
"Because I will be a sage in the six paths of being a hero. Rescue the masses, Capture Criminals, Defend peace, Exterminate Evil, Give hope and Become an Inspiration. All of that will be possible with my power, Susanoo." Hazuki explained the b*llshit origin of his Hero name.
Sage of the six paths of being a hero? What a complete b*llcrap. Hazuki chose that name because it was very pleasing to the ears. And that explanation was all bullsh*t.
"Hazuki-kun that's very wonderful!!" Midnight exclaimed.
"Wow. I didn't know a name could give so many meanings.." Kaminari said amazed by Hazuki's explanation.
"Rikudō Sennin? A name suitable for dumb scums." Bakugou commented.
A few minutes later.
Aizawa was already awake and was carrying a stack of papers.
"Now that everyone has decided their hero names. Let's get back to the talk about the Internships. It will last for a week. As for where you'll have them, those who had offers from the pro's will be given their own lists, so you can choose from those yourself. Those who did not receive offers will choose among the forty hero agencies that will be accepting our interns." Aizawa explained.
"Think carefully before you choose." Aizawa said as he handed the papers to his students.
Class was dismissed and everyone started packing their stuff, preparing to go home.
Hazuki and Izuku decided to go towards the station together.
"Can we go to the station together?" Uraraka asked. Both of them easily agreed, there's no reason to reject her after all.
Uraraka wanted to invite Iida too, but found that his seat was already empty. Izuku shrugged it off saying, "He probably already headed home to think where he would do his internship."
Hazuki opened the door, when suddenly All might appeared.
"I am here, In a bizarre position!" he said.
"Come with me for a moment." Whispering, he added as he gestured towards Izuku.
"O-okay."
"All might-sensei. Can I also go? I also have something to say to you." Hazuki Interrupted.
"Okay, you can come with us too Young Hazuki." All might said as he led the way.
The trio arrived in a secluded place, the toilet. There were no more students around because they already headed home.
All might informed Izuku that he had one Internship offer he must pay attention to.
It was an offer from a retired hero named Gran Torino. All might informed Izuku that Gran Torino was a friend of his predecessor and also acted as his Mentor.
Izuku was terrified. That's because while he was explaining, All might was trembling intensely.
But he steeled his heart and decided to choose Gran Torino. 'Since he was All might's mentor, then he can also definitely help me!' Izuku thought.
"All might-sensei, I have a favor to ask you." Hazuki said.
"What is it, Young Hazuki?"
"Please take me in as an Intern." Hazuki said.
Izuku was shocked. He actually asked All might to take him in?!
"*Cough* *Cough*.. What are you talking about, Young Hazuki? Didn't you receive the most Internship offering?" All might asked.
Hazuki approached All might. He tiptoed and whispered.
"How can I let myself be an Intern for those Pro-heroes that are Obviously weaker than me! You are the only one who knows my power, so please help me out! If you do, I'll give something to Izuku!" Hazuki whispered.
"*Cough!* That's playing dirty, Young Hazuki!" All might said.
"Don't sweat the small stuff All might-san, If you don't accept me, then I'll definitely say to old man Gran Torino that you couldn't even teach anything to your successor!" Hazuki threatened.
"Okay, Okay..! Just don't tell him anything about my way of teaching..!" All might said, trembling.
"Good, we have a deal! I'll give something useful to Izuku, don't worry." Hazuki smiled at All might.
Izuku was bewildered, Hazuki said something to all might. Then All might's trembling actually intensified? Just what did Hazuki say, for All might to suddenly feel fear.
Was it about his mentor? But why would Hazuki.. ?
A day after, Many of the student's submitted their Internship forms.
Hazuki also submitted his Internship form to Aizawa.
"What? Hazuki, you received an offer from All might? I saw the offer's given to you last time and All might's wasn't there." Aizawa asked Hazuki after seeing where Hazuki would do his Internship.
"Yes, Aizawa-sensei. I received it yesterday from All might-sensei himself." Hazuki answered.
The whole Class A was shocked, Hazuki actually received an offer from the number 1 hero himself?!
Izuku who heard about this was also shocked, but for another reason. 'He must've coerced All might with Gran Torino yesterday, that's why All might was so scared!' Izuku thought.
"Wow, man! You actually received an offer from All might?!" Kirishima said.
Todoroki was shocked, but he immediately accepted it. Hazuki was, after all, someone extremely powerful. It's inevitable for him to receive such an offer.
Bakugou, on the other hand, was thinking otherwise. 'He actually received an offer from the number 1 hero..?! If that idiot can receive it, then I should be able too!'. Bakugou was planning on asking why All might would offer it to Hazuki and not him.
But the response he received made him even more uncomfortable.
"Young Bakugou, even though you are stong, you still lack something, and I know you will definitely figure that out in this upcoming Internship." was All might's response to his question.
A few days later.
Hazuki and the others were already in the station, waiting for Aizawa's instruction.
"You all brought your costumes, right? Remember, you aren't allowed to wear them publicly. Also, don't drop them or anything, okay?" Aizawa instructed.
"Yessir!" Ashido cheerfully said, obviously excited about the Internship.
"Speak clearly! It's 'Yes, sir!', Ashido. Make sure to watch your manners with the heroes at your Internship! That's all, you can all go." Aizawa sent them off and walked away on his own.
Some of the students scattered and walked towards their respective terminals.
"Iida-kun!" Izuku shouted towards Iida who was already walking away.
Iida stopped, but he didn't turn around.
"If you ever feel hopeless, make sure to let us know. Were friends, right?" Izuku continued.
Iida turned around and finally faced Izuku, he replied. "Yeah."
His response appeared to be answering Izuku's second question.
Hazuki, who was silent all this time, approached Iida. He wrapped his arms around Iida's neck and whispered. "If need some help, you can call me. I know the reason why you'll be heading towards Hosu city even though there are better offers. I'm sure Izuku knows too, that's why he chased after you and said those words."
After saying that, he released his arm around Iida's neck and patted his Shoulder.
Iida walked away, without saying anything in response.
Hazuki and Izuku walked towards the train, Uraraka already separated from them after the episode with Iida.
"Hazuki-kun, why are you following me? Aren't you going to All might?" Izuku asked.
"I'm going with you, of course. And do I even need to? Also, you should already know that I don't like being ordered around. That's why I coerced All might into offering me an Internship." Hazuki said
"You really did?! Why would you do that Hazuki-kun?! And if you received such a chance, then you shouldn't waste it!" Izuku said. All might gave you such a precious Internship, and you're going to waste it?!
"Do you really think I need to learn from All might? Anyway, don't sweat the small stuff. Let's head towards Gran Torino's place now." Hazuki said.
"Even so.. " Izuku still wanted to reason, but Hazuki already dragged him towards the train.
After that, the duo rode all the way towards Gran Torino's place.
