After two days, even the sheer exhaustion of the Sports Festival faded and it was raining.

"Have a good day at school!" Dad waves at me from his car.

"I will." I waved back, and he drives off. I head inside the school and came across Iida putting his coat away in his locker.

"Good morning, Iida." I greeted him smiling. He turns around hearing my voice and greets me back doing his usual hand signs.

"And good morning to you, (Y/n)!" He waited for me while I put my coat and umbrella away in my locker. And we proceeded to head on to class. Usually, while walking together with me, Izuku, and Uraraka, Iida would normally talk our ears off. But... today he is being unusually silent and I know the reason. Izuku told me about what happened to Iida's brother Ingenium.

"Iida... how is your brother? Is he doing okay?" I asked him, feeling concerned.

"I appreciate the concern, (Y/n)! But..." he stares at me with his red eyes. "You don't need worry. My brother is fine." He then turns away from me and starts speed walking to class. "Now let's get going! We don't want to be late after all!"

"Liar..." I muttered under my breathe, staring at his back.

"I got mad at people shouting out my name on the way to school!"

"I got so embarrassed, everybody was staring at me so intently!"

"Yeah, me too!"

"I got consoled with "don't mind!" Calls by frickin' elementary school kids!"

"Don't mind!" I chuckled hearing my classmates talk about how they're being swarmed by people after the Sports Festival was over. Yaoyorozu looks over at me with a soft smile.

"Did anything like that happen to you, (Y/n)?"

"My dad drives me to school everyday, so I didn't have to worry about getting crowded by the paparazzi." With a relaxing smile, I slump down in a chair and lay my head on the table.

"We became the center of attention for just one day!"

"Dude, U.A. is really amazing..."

"Morning." Mr. Aiwaza greets, walking in. The bandages he got from the USJ attack are gone. However, the noticeable thing is that there is a prominent scar on his face.

"Mr. Aizawa, I'm happy you were able to remove your bandages!" Tsuyu voices out.

"The old lady got over-dramatic with her treatment. But let's put that aside. Today's Hero Informatics period is a little special."

'Special!? Is it a quiz!? Please god no...' Kaminari sweated.

Kirishima gulps, 'even under the best of circumstances... I already hate doing Heroics-related law and stuff like that...'

"It's time to formulate your codenames. Your hero names."

"Oh MY GOD YES!! NOW THIS IS MAKING MY CHEST SWELL!!" Everyone celebrated glad to do the hero stuff instead of class related stuff. But, with a red glare from Mr. Aizawa they quieted down.

"This is related to the draft nominations by pros I mentioned the other day. In other words, the nominations you're getting this year are more akin to expressions of "interest" in your future potential. And it's not rare that interest dries up by graduation or is simple unilaterally dropped."

"Damn grown-ups, playing with our emotions!" Mineta clenched his fists.

"So I guess the nominations we received are like personal hurdles, then!"
