Class 1-A gathered in their classroom, eagerly awaiting their teacher's arrival. Aizawa entered the room, and the students quickly stood up to greet him.
"Good morning, everyone," Aizawa said, nodding at them. "As you all know, your internships start tomorrow. This is a critical time for your development as heroes, and it is important that you take this opportunity seriously."
He walked to the front of the classroom and began to explain the rules and expectations for their internships. He reminded them to always prioritize the safety of themselves and others, to follow the instructions of their assigned mentor, and to represent U.A. in a positive light.
After his brief explanation, Aizawa turned his attention to the students individually.
"Midoriya, remember to control your quirk and not overexert yourself. You have a lot of potential, but you need to learn to pace yourself."
"Uraraka, focus on your battle awareness and use your quirk creatively. You have a lot of potential in the support role."
"Todoroki, try to work on your teamwork skills. You tend to work alone, but as a hero, you will need to be able to work effectively in a team."
"Momo, good luck!"
"..."
He continued to comment on each student, providing both praise and constructive criticism. The students listened attentively, taking note of his suggestions and advice.
"Why did he wish good luck to Momo-chan only?" Toru whispered from the side.
"Well, let's just say Mirko is infamous for her temper." Mokami helplessly sighed.
"Uh-oh. Is she going to be okay?" Toru asked with a wry smile.
"Don't worry. I suggested Momo go there instead of Ryukyu. Although Dragon Heroine is quite strong and capable, Momo will learn much more from Mirko." Mokami smiled to set her mind at rest.
"Okay." Toru whispered, but there was reluctance at her tone that he caught.
'I will talk to her later.' As he was thinking, Aizawa asked, "What are you talking about back there?"
"Sorry, Sensei, I asked Moka-chan about his internship." Toru jumped in before he could answer.
"Try to listen to what I am saying." Aizawa tersely said, as he finished his speech. "I want you to give you all and absorb whatever your mentors can teach you. Like I said, opportunities like these are extremely rare. I suggest you to not waste your time and get the most of it.
Do not shy away from asking questions, and don't break the Quirk Regulations. So long as your mentor does not allow you, refrain from using your Quirks in public if it is not for self-defense. You are all capable of great things, and I expect you to come back stronger and more skilled."
With that, Aizawa dismissed the class, and the students left the room, heading off to buses that would take then to their assigned internship locations.
Mokami found Toru sitting alone on a bench in the school garden, surrounded by the colorful flowers and plants. He walked up to her, taking a seat next to her on the bench.
"Hey Toru," he said softly, looking at her with a gentle smile.
Toru turned to face him, her cheeks flushing slightly as she smiled back. "Hey Moka-chan. You're leaving soon, right?" Her bus would take off in a few hours as she wasn't going far like Mokami and Todoroki.
Mokami nodded, feeling a pang of sadness in his chest. "Yeah, I'm leaving for my internship in Egypt in a few minutes."
Toru looked down at her hands, twirling her fingers nervously. "I'm going to Tokyo for mine. It's going to be so far away from here."
Mokami reached out, taking her hand in his and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "It's only for a week, Toru. We'll be back before you know it."
As Toru gazed up at him, her eyes glimmered with unshed tears, Mokami could sense the depth of her emotions. She spoke with a vulnerability that twined his heart, "I know, but I'm going to miss you so much. I don't know how to explain it, but ever since I met you, it's as if life started to have meanings. At first, I thought I was just being silly and this was just a high-school crush, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it is not that simple. It is because you are so caring but not only that, Moka-chan. You can see me. How amazing is that? I have always been invisible. Not only in the eye but also in the heart.
Have you ever heard the old adage? Far from the sight, far from the heart? I think it was true. No one beside my family had ever shown concern for me. How could they? They couldn't even see me. But you are different. Not only can you see me, and I am not talking about my body, you can also see and feel my heart. You gave me a new lease of life, a new hope and I really, really love how those all feel."
She took a deep breath, as she looked deep into his eyes with emotions flowing out of her blue eyes. She whispered as she quivered. "Moka-chan, I am afraid.
I am afraid to go back to how I used to be. How I was ignored by everyone around me. How no one could see me… I will miss being around you. I know it is just a week, but, but… It will feel like a lifetime because when I am not around you, life feels dull. I like you, Moka-chan."
"Toru-chan!" Mokami was overwhelmed by the affection he was receiving. Although he thought Toru liked him, he always assumed it was a simple infatuation due to his actions at the beginning of the semester. Although he knew Toru was depressed over not being able to see herself, he didn't know she was this affected by the situation.
