The four students looked into the campus and took in the fact they were all going to UA.

"Shall we?" Peter asked.

Kevin nodded and they started walking into the UA campus.

Slowly the other students approached them with varying expressions of pride and excitement. They all turn around and look towards the rising sun of a better tomorrow as Peter takes off his mask with a look of uncertainty on his face.

They all had the same class which was Class 1-A and had walked into campus. They kept walking down the hall and saw the person. The group saw that the person had a familiar set of green hair. Midoriya was staring at the door with amazement. The green-haired boy turned to the left to see the group of four walking towards him.

"Hey, buddy," Peter said, "it seems like you made it, congratulations."

"Thank you," Midoriya said as he looked up at the towering 193 centimeter man, "and thank you for not only saving me, but for what you have done for me."

Peter soon realized what he meant as he started to recall what he did for Midoriya.

—Flashback—

Peter swung off a web-line and landed in front of the UA gates. He looked around to see if anyone caught him and when he saw that no one did, then he entered inside the UA campus as he went to a classroom where he requested to talk to a teacher about the Entrance Exams. He entered the said classroom and saw Present Mic inside.

"You asked to see me?" Present Mic asked.

"Yes sir," Peter said, "I am Peter Sakaeda, an examinee from yesterday and I would like to give my points to the green curly-haired boy."

Present Mic stayed silent as Peter continued to speak, "Although I did save that girl and him, he saved all of us by destroying the 0 point robot. I know I have no right to request this, but please, I have this feeling about him and it would be a shame for a possible classmate with a big heart like his to not be in the Hero Course."

Present Mic said nothing and had his arms crossed as Peter simply bowed at the teacher, "Thank you for your time."

Peter soon walked out of the room, but before he left, Present Mic spoke up, "We'll take it into consideration."

Peter stopped and turned to the teacher who gave the beefy tall teenager a smile, Peter turned around and bowed before saying, "Thank you, sir."

—Flashback Ends—

"Don't worry," Peter said, "if we're going to be classmates, I would at least like to be respectful and considerate to others. Uh let me introduce my cousin and Mary's friend."

Kevin gave Midoriya a hand as if to shake it, "Sakaeda Kevin. Just call me Kevin, nice to meet you, Midoriya-kun."

Midoriya shook Kevin's hand and was a bit frightened at how strong a grip he had which made him question whether or not it was through his Quirk.

"Kang Vanessa."

She and Midoriya waved at each other.

"Nice to meet you both," Midoriya said.

"Shall we?" Peter said as he held onto the door handle. Midoriya nodded as they opened the door, but shortly after his face turned white. Peter and Kevin's eyes were wide as they all saw the Somei boy confronting an ash-blonde haired boy with red eyes.

"Take your feet off those desks!" the Somei boy said.

"Huh?" The blonde had an evil smirk on his face as he was challenging the Somei boy.

"Don't you think that's rude to the UA upperclassmen…" As the Somei boy was talking to the blonde, Peter had a face of confusion.

'What the hell is happening?' he thought. Kevin, Mary, and Vanessa all smiled, but they were awkward smiles with a sweatdrop along each head.

He later snapped out of his thoughts as he saw a bunch of heads turning towards Midoriya and the friend group. Midoriya started to get flustered while Mary and Vanessa waved a hand while Peter and Kevin did a simple nod.

"Good morning!" the Somei boy said, "I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is—"

"We heard!" Midoriya said.

"I'm Midoriya," Midoriya said, "Nice to meet you, Iida-kun."

"Midoriya-kun, you realized there was something more to that practical exam, didn't you?" Iida asked.

'What are you on about?' the Sakaeda cousins thought as the group of four and Midoriya looked at Iida with confusion.

"I had no idea…" Iida said, "I misjudged you! I hate to admit it, but you're better than me."

Iida saw Peter and approached him, "Sakaeda-kun, I have realized that what you have said before was indeed correct."

He soon started to bow at Peter and Midoriya, "Please forgive my ignorance from earlier."

The two boys had told Iida not to be formal and that it was fine. Soon, the teens by the door looked back to see the brown-haired girl from the Entrance Exams. Vanessa and Kevin weren't familiar with her, but Peter, Mary, and Midoriya were.

"Oh, that green curly-hair!" the brown-haired girl, "You're the plain-looking one!"

"This is our cue to sit down on our seats," Peter said

They all went to the seats based on their peers' last names. Peter ended up sitting in front of a boy who went by a tall boy Koda Koji and behind another tall boy named Sato Rikido and to one side sat a boy who had red and white hair named Todoroki and on the other side sat a blond boy with a large tail name Ojiro. Kevin sat in front of the third column and on one side sat someone named Kaminari and on the other side sat Mary, lastly behind him sat a masked boy named Shoji. Mary sat next to Kevin and behind her was an invisible girl named Hagakure. Lastly with Vanessa, she sat next to a girl named Ashido on one side and Shoji on the other side, and behind her was a boy with red hair named Kirishima.

Soon a man with black long hair and pale skin who looked like he wanted to sleep stood up.

'Isn't that…' Peter thought as he looked at the older man.

"I'm your homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shouta," the older man said, "Nice to meet you."

He dug into what seemed like a sleeping bag and took out a blue and white uniform that had red accents on it.

"It's kind of sudden," Aizawa said, "but put his one and go out onto the field."

———

"A Quirk assessment test?!" The class said together.

"What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" Uraraka asked.

"If you're going to become a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events." The class was very clearly a bit distraught by this, but Aizawa continued. "UA's selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are. That's also how the teachers run their classes," Aizawa went on, "You kids have been doing these since junior high too, right? Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your Quirks." 

He pulled up a phone-looking device showing an array of different physical fitness tests, like ball throwing and standing long jumps, "The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their Quirks. It's not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating."

He scanned the crowd and finally settled his eyes on Peter.

"Sakaeda Peter, you finished at the top of the entrance exam, right?"

All eyes were on Peter as he ended up stepping forward and was now in front of the class.

"Oh uhh, yes sir," he replied in a frantic yet reserved manner.

"In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?"

"25 meters," Peter said.

"Alright then kid," Aizawa said, "try doing it again, but with your Quirk this time."

He nodded and stepped up to the field, ball in hand, and let Aizawa continue explaining.

"You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle," Aizawa said, "Hurry up. Give it all you've got."

"Alright," Peter said as he took a deep breath. He did a quick toss with the ball and went for a baseball pitcher throw. He threw the ball with all his might and it ended up flying at a high speed, but not enough to break the sound barrier.

While the ball was sailing through the sky, Aizawa said, "Know your own maximum first. That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero," He turned to the rest of the class and pulled out a measuring device reading "1028 meters."

"What's this? It looks fun!"

"We can use our Quirks as much as we want! As expected from the hero course!"

Aizawa was not in agreement with the class's overall mood. "'It looks fun,' huh…" The class stopped chirping and looked at him. "You have three years to become a hero. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time?" He smiled evilly, "All right. Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential… and will be punished with expulsion."

Most of the class was outraged, and for good reason. To expel someone this early in the year, when they haven't even begun hero training, seemed incredibly unfair to them.

Aizawa started again, "We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students," he pushed his long hair upwards, revealing a rugged, worn out face. 

"Welcome to UA's Hero Course, kiddies!"

…

"Last place will be expelled?! But it's the first day of school! No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair!" Uraraka shouted, in protest.

Aizawa, naturally, was ready to clap back. "Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains. Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted."

The whole class listened as Aizawa continued, "Japan is covered with unfairness. Heroes are the ones who reverse those situations. If you wanted to go talk with your friends at Mickey D's after school, too bad. For the next three years. UA will do all it can to give you one hardship after another. Go beyond. Plus Ultra."

"Well if you were justifying an expulsion, you've already done so," Kevin said.

"Heh, tell me about it," Peter said with a scoff.

Vanessa and Mary said nothing of their neighbors' cynicism at the situation, but were bothered by it. Mary was more bothered by it than Vanessa was.

"Overcome it with all you've got," Aizawa said. "All right, demonstrations are over. The real thing starts now."

…

Next up was Kevin and Ashido Mina. Ashido's Quirk is Acid, it allows her to produce a corrosive liquid from her body. She can control the solubility and viscosity of this corrosive liquid. There is a limit to how long she can produce the corrosive liquid until her skin gradually loses its natural resistance to it. The two got into a running position and when the signal went off, the two ran off. Kevin managed to clear the dash with a leap that he managed to cross in 3.33 seconds.

Mary and Vanessa started and when the race started, Mary did an all out sprint. Vanessa on the other hand got into a crawl position and ran down the track like a feline creature. She cleared the track in 4.89 seconds while Mary cleared the track in 5.51 seconds. Kevin and Peter were impressed at the performance and concluded that Mary had some enhancement Quirk while Vanessa had a Quirk similar to Kevin's.

Bakugou and Midoriya were next. Of course, Bakugou handily won this race. He propelled himself forwards using explosions, getting a time of 4.13. For reasons unknown to the rest of the class, Midoriya did not use his Quirk to complete the 50 meter dash. He just ran normally, and got a time of 7.02.

'Why isn't he using his Quirk? Or could it be…' Peter thought as to why Midoriya didn't use his quirk and realized that it could potentially break his bones.

Aizawa called him up to run next. Running alongside him was the guy who sat in front of him, Rikido Sato.

Peter got into a runner's position. As the robot signaled for them to start, Peter and Sato. Sato finished with 5.12 seconds with Peter finishing at a time of 3.04 seconds.

The next test was pretty self-explanatory. It was to use a dynamometer to test grip strength. Of course, Quirks were permitted, so you could use your Quirk to help get a better score. Peter overheard some talk about his classmate with six arms getting a score of 540 kilograms. He saw that Kevin got a score of 412 kilograms, Mary got 349 kilograms, and Vanessa got 367 kilograms. Soon after, Shoji went up and got a score of 540 kilograms. When Peter was called for the strength test, he squeezed the dynamometer and ended up breaking the said device which caused almost everyone to look at him with shock.

"Uh, sorry," Peter said, holding the broken meter, "I may have broken the device."

Next test was the standing long jump. After seeing a myriad of other students using their Quirks to completely clear the sandbox, Peter, Kevin, Vanessa, and Mary did the same. Next was repeated side to side steps and the two managed to clear the test.

After that came the ball throw, except Peter who was exempt from throwing the ball as he already threw the ball. One notable score was when Uraraka got. Upon seeing the score, the entire class said "Infinity?!" in unison.

"That's crazy! She got 'infinity'!" said Kaminari.

"I know right?!" Mary said.

"Amazing…" Vanessa said as she was mesmerized at the ball.

Vanessa, Peter, Kevin, and Mary looked at the ball sailing away in the air with eyes wide and mouths open.

"That was pretty amazing…" Peter said.

"Yep…" Kevin said as he lightly patted Peter on the shoulder.

When Bakugou came up he threw the ball with the enhancement of his explosive Quirk and the furthest it went was 705.2 meters. He growled at the fact that he couldn't beat Peter's score. Kevin threw the ball and managed to get 532 meters, Mary got 412 meters, and Vanessa got 334.2 meters.

When it came Midoriya's turn to throw the ball, he just kind of stood there for a bit. It looked like he was deep in thought, even though there isn't much to think about when you throw a ball.

"It doesn't look good for Midoriya-kun if he continues like this," Iida said with crossed arms.

Bakugou, annoyed by the notion that Midoriya could wield any power, countered, "Huh?! Of course not. He's a Quirkless small fry, you know."

"Quirkless?! Are you not aware of what he did in the entrance exam?" Iida asked in disbelief.

"Huh?" It seemed like Bakugou had no idea what had happened.

"Yeah, we saw," Peter said. Mary nodded in agreement to validate both Iida's and Peter's statement.

After a bit more standing around and doing nothing, Midoriya finally decided that he was going to throw the ball. He wound up for the throw, then finally chucked the ball… although, it was a measly 46 meters. He looked at his hands in disbelief, as if something unbelievable had happened.

"I erased your Quirk." Aizawa said. The rags that were previously wrapped loosely around his neck were now floating around him mysteriously, as well as his black hair. His eyes glowed red as he spoke. "That entrance exam was definitely not rational enough. Even a kid like you was accepted."

Midoriya was shaken. "You erased my Quirk?" He gasped, noticing something about Aizawa. "Those goggles… I see! You can erase other people's Quirks with your Quirk just by looking at them. The Erasure Hero, Eraser Head!"

The class mumbled amongst themselves. Most didn't recognize the name "Eraser Head," but some kids did their research and did in fact recognize the name. Among these kids was Asui from earlier.

Peter started to look around and soon noticed All Might, who for some reason seemed to be lurking by a corner. He disappeared almost immediately, and Peter went back to looking at the class.

"From what I can tell, you can't control your Quirk, can you?" Aizawa, with his hands in his pockets, glared into Midoriya, "Do you intend to become incapacitated again and have someone save you?"

Midoriya was defensive, "Th-That's not my intent—"

Before Midoriya could completely finish, Aizawa used his rag looking things to grab Midoriya, pulling the kid closer to him. He looked into Midoriya's eyes angrily.

The two seemed to be talking about something, probably regarding Midoriya's Quirk. It was nearly impossible to make out what they were saying from where Peter and the others stood. All they could gather was that it was something Aizawa didn't want the whole class to hear.

Aizawa finally released Midoriya, "I've returned your Quirk. You have two turns for the ball throw. Hurry up and get it over with."

Midoriya looked very down. He stood in the circle, yet again, preparing to throw the ball. Much like last time, he stood around doing a whole lot of nothing while the rest of the class talked between each other.

Still in the circle, Midoriya was mumbling to himself. After a bit of stalling, he finally decided to make a move. He leaned forward and reeled his arm back, charging up for a powerful throw.

Peter noticed that All Might had returned to the same corner as before, and was watching Midoriya with great interest.

Kevin looked to where Peter was looking, noted this, and began to think. Nothing could immediately come to mind, so Peter was the first to put the thought aside and focused on Midoriya with his cousin following suit.

Midoriya, contrary to what I had believed, had explosive power in his throw. At the very last instance of his throw, he launched the ball with the tip of his index finger fast enough to generate ripples in the air.

Aizawa looked at the device. Midoriya called out to him.

He bit his bottom lip, probably from the excruciating pain of having a busted finger. "Sensei… I can still… move!" He made a fist with his messed up finger as he rested his uninjured hand on his forearm.

The class was shocked at Midoriya's record. Many of them seemed to be incredibly impressed at his record, which broke 700 meters. It was like they forgot everybody else who had higher scores.

"Finally, a hero-like record!" said the brown haired girl, hands in the air. Peter, Kevin, Mary, and Vanessa were just looking at Midoriya's finger with genuine concern.

Iida stroked his chin, "His finger's swollen! There was the entrance exam, too. He has a strange Quirk."

"It's not very stylish," Aoyama remarked.

While the rest of the class seemed more or less impressed, yet calm, Bakugou was starting to look like he was about to lose it. He couldn't believe it. His eyes were wide open, and his jaw had pretty much hit the ground. Peter saw that and knew something was going on between those two.

Bakugou's shock didn't last for long.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Bakugou demanded as he made a beeline for Midoriya. "HEY! TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON, DEKU, YOU BASTARD!"

Upon hearing "Deku", for a split second, Peter looked at Midoriya who clearly had no intention to fight back and just stood there, frightened.

"Kisama, don't you dare…"

As Bakugou was approaching Midoriya, he felt something on his back and was all of a sudden pulled back as he was in an uncomfortable position in which he felt his arms being pulled. Everyone looked at Peter who shot a web line and pulled Bakugou into a position as he felt his arms being pulled and a foot pressing against his back.

"I don't like bullies," Peter said. As he said this, memories flooded of him being bullied by Uchiyamada kicked in and he started to grow angry. His grip on Bakugou's wrists were now starting to get tighter as if he was going to crush his bones.

"Keep trying to escape, I'll break your wrists," Peter said in a dark tone.

Peter soon pressed his foot against Bakugou's back as if he was going to rip them off.

"Let… me… go…" Bakugou said as he felt his arms starting to stretch it was to the point where it could now be ripped off.

"Hard pass," Peter said. Peter's eyes narrowed as Bakugou started to grit his teeth in pain at the fact he knew his arms were going to now be ripped off. Kevin saw Peter's not willing to let go so he approached his cousin.

"Let go of him, man," Kevin said, "he's not worth it."

After a moment of pulling Bakugou's arms, Peter let go and walked away to calm down, before Bakugou could approach Midoriya, Aizawa stepped in.

"You should stop before HE comes back to do something worse," Aizawa said, referring to Peter.

Bakugou clicked his tongue as Midoriya ran to his new friends. He looked at Midoriya with a quiet rage as he thought of someone he could squash. But it didn't last long as they all moved on to the physical tests such as the sit-ups, toe touch, and the long distance run.

After they did all the tests, they all surrounded Aizawa.

"Alright, I'll quickly tell you the results," Aizawa said, "the total is simply the marks you got from each test. It's a waste of time to explain verbally so I'll show you the results all at once."

He took out a device and pressed a button to show the test results:

"Peter Gene?" Mary asked with a teasing smile on her face.

Peter looked at her with a sense of annoyance as she now knew to not talk anymore.

Peter and his cousin saw that they were all in the top two and were noted to be tied. Good, they will not be expelled, but Midoriya… was a different story. Peter felt bad, but it is what it is and he was wishing Midoriya well.

"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion," Aizawa said.

Almost everyone gave the teacher a blank stare as he explained himself.

"It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks," Aizawa explained.

They all exclaimed with shock as a young girl started to chime in.

"Of course it was a lie," she said, "it should have been obvious if you just thought it through."

"I beg to differ," Peter said, "I think he decided to not expel anyone at the last minute. I did some research, and he expelled a group of students last school year. A lot of the class 2-A students are transfers from General Studies and Support Courses in UA from that said year."

The girl just nodded in understanding.

"With that, we're done here," Aizawa said, "there are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom so when you get back, look over them."

———

After school, Peter and Kevin were getting out of school. They were standing outside the gates as they were waiting for Mary and Vanessa to come out of the campus. The said girls soon came out of the gate and they all started walking. 

"Where are we going?" Vanessa asked.

"There is this restaurant that we go to every night, you'll love it," Kevin said.

They all walked to a restaurant that Peter and Kevin have been going to lately, but Mary and Vanessa haven't yet. This was an opportunity for the boys to show the ladies the restaurant. They started going together and sat down at a table of four. Soon food came out onto the table, but Peter's order was so much they had to put his food at another table. Peter's food consisted of 16 steamed gyozas as well as 16 pan-fried gyozas, four pounds of bluefin o-toro and salmon sashimi, and lastly, a ghastly large bowl of spicy szechuan ramen with thick curly egg noodles, four thick slices of chashu pork belly, two whole marinated half-boiled eggs, thin wagyu beef slices, slices of chicken thigh, and fish cakes aside from the traditional toppings.

Everyone else had reasonable portions of food, so when Mary and Vanessa saw Peter's assortment of food, they were shocked.

"So… how was everyone's first day at school?" Peter asked as they started eating his sashimi first.

"It was okay…" Mary said, "it's been a while since I went to school in a group setting. When Vanessa and I were idols, we were homeschooled and took online classes."

The boys looked at Vanessa who nodded her head in agreement.

"The classes were easy so when we finished, we went to rehearsals," Vanessa said, "what was your guys' favorite song from us before we disbanded?"

"Oooh that's a hard question," Peter said, "I don't know… Kevin?"

"Uhh…" Kevin started to think as he liked a lot of their songs, "I think I would have to go with y'all's debut song."

Mary and Vanessa were surprised at this as they recalled their debut song, "Oh my gosh!" Mary said, "Recording the music video was really hard. It was really hot! We were…"

Peter and Kevin's eyebrows were raised as they listened to the girls telling them about the behind the scenes of the recording of the music video.

———

The night had commenced and Peter, who had a mug of coffee in his hand, was sitting inside the fairly busy lounge area of his apartment building. The lounge room was where neighbors were able to congregate and socialize altogether without having to go to each other's apartment. The said lounge was a Luxurious room that contained a bar with a bartender that was there 24/7 with a machine operating the drinks when the bartender wasn't present or had clocked out for the day and there were some adults sitting there drinking alcoholic beverages. He sat on a two-person couch that looked into a window out to the view of Mustafu and saw the tower of UA High. He was wearing dark gray pajamas and a black t-shirt with a pair of flip flops.

He later looked at his hands and simply sighed.

'When will they confront me about my powers?' he thought.

"You seemed to be lost in thought," a female voice said.

Peter knew the voice due to her speaking in English in an Australian accent and looked to his right. He saw Mary with an iced Shirley Temple.

"Mind if I join?" Mary asked.

"No… I don't mind," Peter said, "Please, sit."

She took off her flip flops and brought her feet up and sat next to him on the same couch in a tucked position. She wore pajamas that were brown and a light blue sweater with her hair in a semi-messy high bun. The two made eye contact and she was the first to smile in a friendly manner which made Peter admire how pretty she looked.

"You seem preoccupied," Mary said, "what's going on?"

"I uhh…" Peter had snapped out of his trance and was now kind of lost with the question as he blew a raspberry. He soon put down the coffee mug onto the cupholder of the couch he and Mary were sitting on. He turned his body to face her, "…don't know. When I was younger, I thought going to UA was like a pipe-dream, but due to new circumstances I've accomplished this pipe-dream, but now I just feel…"

He was motioning his free hand as if he was trying to find the correct word to describe his feeling.

"Unsatisfied?"

Peter nodded, "Yeah, unsatisfied."

"Well if it's any consolation, I've been feeling the same way," Mary said, "perhaps a new goal for you could be the best hero you could be."

"The best hero I can be…" Peter nodded to the notion, "maybe I can work with that, thanks for that."

"That's what new friends are for," Mary said, "what are you doing now?"

"Just looking out into the city, nothing special," Peter said as he took a sip of his coffee and took a deep breath.

Mary started to scoot closer to Peter as the two started looking out to the city, but soon Peter was curious about something.

"What was it like?" Peter asked, with a small curious smile on his face.

"What was what like?" Mary looked at Peter with a sense of confusion.

"Being a K-Pop Idol during Middle School, I know there are groups with controversies and y'all probably had to follow strict rules, but you guys were fairly squeaky clean with no scandals prior to disbanding. Did you love being an Idol?" Peter asked. He knew the neighbors well enough that he knew speaking English wouldn't cause any attention, not to mention people were mingling amongst themselves so they were already minding their own business.

"I loved it," Mary said, with a reminiscent smile, "I got to do a hobby for a job and it was the best. What about you, do you have any hobbies?"

Peter shook his head, "Not really. I didn't have many hobbies growing up and still don't, I was pretty much bullied throughout my whole life for being a late bloomer in the Quirk department."

"Peter…" Mary was disheartened at what she heard, "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault," Peter said with a sad smile on his face.

—(Play Chainsaw Man ED 2 - Time Left by Zutomayo)—

(Yeah)

The first 8 eight seconds are a wavelength that responds to the bassline. Then it transitions to the night sky of Mustafu Japan.

(Shoppai ze hajimete kaide nameta de ai Jibouji kidesu heikintekina seiron ga binbou Irasshaimase ninniku mashi de mezashita kenkoutai Hara uta mitashiteru)

It shows Peter and Kevin in their hero outfits with their masks off, looking out into the sky of the city from the rooftop of their apartment building, taking sips of coffee and scrolling down their phone while sitting on the edge of the rooftop.

Mary and Vanessa in their apartment room relaxing as they were in loose and comfortable clothing, but decided to change into their hero outfit. At the end of the verse, the two girls exit their apartment room and run to the rooftop to meet with the boys.

(Chokkan de jiko chuu na rikai funou pureiya Motomerareta nara sanjikai)

Midoriya is seen sitting in his room doing small exercises as he writes notes down in his hero analysis notebook.

(Kudaran kuchi genka demashi ni nan da Mottoo motto? Mou igai to tsurai no ni)

Peter stood up and put on his mask. He later did a two finger salute to Kevin, Mary, and Vanessa as he ran and jumped off the roof doing a pose while rotating his body (Like Peter Parker intro from Into the Spider-Verse).

(Uzai kurai sakendatte kurattatte Yuzurenai hibi yo Eiyou ni natte mata yogoshiae yeah Zanki wakannakute agannakute Sekizui hansha no ruisen wa)

Peter swung around Japan weaving around tall buildings and soon did a bullet dive and then started swinging close to the ground while weaving around traffic.

(Nigotta koe de utaeba kansha desu)

Peter landed in front of Class 1-A who were all in their hero costumes with Midoriya and Kevin waiting in front of them.

(Tameshitai wa atatakakute Zettai zetsumei na yoru wa kimochii Heibon na seikatsu yumemita kedo Sente hisshou ga Kimochi ii na)

Peter soon walked past all his classmates who gave him a nod of approval except for Bakugou who simply looked away and huffed. As the last few seconds of the song play, Peter took off his mask and had a look of determination as he, Kevin and the rest of Class 1-A started walking with the sun rising.
