THE POST-BREAK BUZZ WAS HITTING CLASS 1-A. everyone was so excited to show off what they had accomplished in the past week that they had arrived to class early and even sat nicely for class president iida tenya and deputy class rep yaoyorozu momo's debriefing. they were all usually very talkative in the mornings and off-track until class began, but since iida informed them they would be showing aizawa their progress, they were willing to contain it.

it was just a little strange. the air of the classroom had shifted from their childishness to something more of vibrant determination. they were less lighthearted and more focused on their progress as heroes. after all, it was the third and final term of their first year at UA high school. there was no more outright romance in their face from the star couple of class 1-A, a student rediscovering his quirk, and a class full of students who experienced great change over the span of a week.

"an auspicious new year to you all!" iida greeted them. "in today's class, we'll be giving status reports. we will share what we learned, accomplished, and experienced over winter break. everyone, please suit up and report to ground alpha!"

momo pushed the button and their costumes emerged from the wall in the usual shelves. dutifully, they grabbed their costumes, mina first to spring up from her seat.

"ah, somehow wearing the hero costumes seem nostalgic of last week," kirishima said to his friends.

"did you get married in it or something?" jiro asked him, clearly not feeling the same way. her eyebrows were raised as if to ask, 'what the hell happened during your work-study internship?' 

kaminari denki burst out laughing. "yeah, i bet him and amajiki-senpai wed together or something."

"or that kid from class 1-B -- tetsutetsu," sero added, trying his best not to laugh.

laughing, ayumi said, "i'd say that's pretty accurate."

"it's not manly to lie, fujiyumi!" kirishima told her, leading them all to laugh together.

the warm feeling in her chest from seeing her friends caused ayumi to unconsciously avert her gaze to see how bakugo was doing. when her pale golden eyes flitted across the room, they made contact with crimson red. her cheeks flushing right away, ayumi moved her eyes away and made her way to grab her costume briefcase.

the sliding door into the classroom opened abruptly, aizawa shota revealing himself to his class. "all right, wrap it up--"

mina was first to leave the classroom, chirping brightly, "happy new year, sensei!" asui happily left after her, saying the same sentiments, much to aizawa's surprise. his class usually slacked off more than this.

"i have informed the class of today's agenda," iida notified their homeroom teacher to make sure he knew he did just as he was instructed to that morning.

carrying his hero briefcase over his shoulder, kaminari turned to sero and ayumi who were walking side-by-side. "iida sure does a lotta pointless engine revving."

as the three of them passed their class representative, he said to them, "well, you see, manual -- the hero that i did my work study with -- is now leading a hero team in hosu city. i was only with them for a week, but in that time, i learned.."
