"Of course we know you!" Bakugo Katsuki slammed the table and glared at Midoriya Izuku, shouting, "Deku, why are you in Class A? Aren't you in the Support Course?!"
Midoriya, feeling very awkward, had thought for a long time about how to make a polite entrance, but his self-introduction was interrupted by Bakugo Katsuki. At this moment, Aizawa Shouta spoke up:
"If the third-place winner can't handle it, then sit down quietly. This is the treatment the champion deserves!"
With the homeroom teacher speaking, Bakugo Katsuki had no choice but to sit down, though he still glared fiercely at Midoriya Izuku.
"Great! Midoriya, come sit next to me!!"
"Um... Midoriya, if you don't mind, you can sit here."
Hearing this news, two girls were overjoyed and offered seats to Midoriya Izuku, making him feel awkward.
"Alright, you two don't need to worry about Midoriya's seat. He won't be studying in the class."
"What?!"
Aizawa Shouta's words surprised and disappointed the two girls, and the other students were curious about what was going on.
"Let me explain."
"Midoriya won the championship at the U.A. High School Sports Festival. All Might suggested that Midoriya's dream is to become a hero, so the teachers discussed and made a reasonable arrangement."
"Midoriya will join Hero Course Class A as one of us, while also keeping his identity in the Support Course. He will mainly participate in basic hero training in the Hero Course, and he still has the right to make equipment in the Support Course."
"Wow, is that possible?"
Mineta Minoru exclaimed at Midoriya's special treatment, and Aizawa-sensei added thoughtfully:
"If you can win the championship at the U.A. Sports Festival, I can also apply for special treatment for you."
No one objected to Midoriya Izuku joining Hero Course Class A. After all, he won the championship without a Quirk... No one could argue with that.
"Um... Please take care of me from now on!!"
Midoriya bowed politely, and everyone in Class A welcomed him. As for Bakugo Katsuki, who was shouting, he was just all talk.
By the way, besides Midoriya Izuku joining Hero Course Class A, Shinso Hitoshi also joined Hero Course Class B. Shinso's scary strength and his "Brainwashing" Quirk were noticed by the school.
Since two outstanding talents appeared at once, and there were two classes in the Hero Course, the school decided to put one in each class, which was fair.
After that, Midoriya Izuku officially joined Hero Course Class A. He could freely adjust his time between the Hero Course and the Support Course, which was a special treatment given by the school after he won the championship.
After all, he was such an outstanding talent, and everyone saw his performance in the sports festival. Neither teachers nor students had any objections.
In their free time, All Might, Midoriya Izuku, and Togata Mirio were in the U.A. High School teachers' lounge.
"All Might, thank you! You've helped me so much!!"
"Don't say that, you won the championship with your own strength. Even if I didn't speak up, the principal would have considered transferring you to the Hero Course."
Midoriya thanked him, and All Might declined. Togata Mirio chimed in:
"But Midoriya, you're the 'Steel Wire Death God'? All Might, you knew and didn't tell me!"
"A promise is a promise, I had to keep it a secret for Midoriya!"
"Mirio-senpai... can you not use that title... It's just something that spread online, and it sounds weird."
Midoriya Izuku felt very awkward. The title "Steel Wire Death God" had become a label that he couldn't shake off.
"By the way, Midoriya! Have you thought about your hero name?"
"Hero name?"
Seeing Midoriya Izuku's puzzled look, Togata Mirio raised his finger and explained:
"Soon you'll be interning with Sir Nighteye with me. When you experience hero activities, a hero name is essential."
"Wow! So, Mirio-senpai, what's your hero name?"
"My hero name? It's 'Lemillion'!"
Togata Mirio's hero name was surprisingly simple. While Midoriya Izuku was confused, Mirio explained:
"My dream is to be a hero who saves others, but I can't save everyone like All Might. So I named myself 'Lemillion.'"
"If I can't save everyone, then I'll save a million people!!"
Midoriya Izuku was very shocked. He didn't know hero names could have such meaning. All Might felt embarrassed. Even though Togata Mirio said that, All Might himself couldn't save everyone.
"So, have you thought about your hero name?"
"Uh... I haven't decided yet."
Midoriya Izuku often fantasized about his hero name when he was a child, but most of them were similar to All Might's hero name because he admired the No.1 hero. So his hero name leaned in that direction.
But after hearing Togata Mirio's words, Midoriya Izuku realized that a hero name also represented what kind of hero you wanted to be.
"How about using 'Steel Wire Death God' as your hero name? It's well-known and would definitely intimidate enemies!"
"No... absolutely not!!"
Togata Mirio suggested a bad idea, and Midoriya Izuku quickly shook his head at the unreliable name. If he really got the hero name "Steel Wire Death God," he would be too embarrassed to go out.
"All Might, what do you think about hero names?"
It was too unreliable to let Togata Mirio come up with ideas, so Midoriya Izuku quickly asked his most admired hero for help. Surely, the number one hero, All Might, would have a good opinion.
"Hero names, huh..."
All Might fell silent for a moment. His hero name had basically replaced his real name, except for his old teacher and his mentor, the seventh "One For All," who knew his real name.
All Might, a household name, the number one strongest hero, the "Symbol of Peace," the hero feared by enemies, the hero worshipped by the people... all of this was represented by the name "All Might."
After thinking deeply about Midoriya Izuku's question, All Might replied:
"A hero name is more important to me than life itself. It represents everything about me..."
"Is that so..."
All Might's words made Midoriya Izuku think deeply. What did a hero name mean to him?
