It's been two days since the Sports Festival ended but Ken was still feeling pretty tired. Can you blame though? He was switching between transformations left and right plus he also had his work cut out in saving a classmate from himself.

Ken and Tokio were leisurely walking towards the school gate before they were greeted by Izuku and then a Tenya who urged them to rush to class even though the group were 15 minutes early. Even Itsuka Kendo is more relaxed then most of their classmates and she's the class rep.

"Hey, Iida." Tokio called out making the teen look at him. "I...uh...heard about your brother."

"Me too." Izuku and Ken said at the same time.

"Iida, is Ingenium-"

"If you're all worried about my brother, there's no need." Iida replied with a fake smile that doesn't go unnoticed by Tokio.

"I'm getting a bad feeling about this..." Tokio thought to himself before he made his way to the classroom along with his friends.

[In class]

"Morning." Aizawa greeted to the class who were talking about how they become popular in just one day, making them instantly shut their mouths and get in their seats.

"Let's not waste any time and get started already." Aizawa announced to the class. "Today's homeroom is going to be a special class."

"Is it another test?!" the entire class thought unanimously.

"Code names." Aizawa stated. "You'll be coming up with hero names."

"THAT'S TOTALLY NORMAL SUPERHERO THING!!" the class cheered.

"This is related to the pro hero internship drafts I mentioned earlier. The drafts only start to matter when you've all gained some experience and your adaptable fighting abilities is judged during your 2nd and 3rd years. In other words, the drafts you're getting this year are more akin to 'interest' in your future potential." Aizawa explained. "And it isn't rare that that interest dries up by graduation or is simply dropped."

"So we'll have to prove ourselves once we start our internships." Itsuka replied.

"Correct. Now the tally of offers are as follows." Aizawa said as he projected the no. of offers the students received on the board. "Usually it's a lot more balanced but this year all eyes were on these 4."

The tallies:

1. Ken Tennyson: 8899

2. Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki: 4566

3. Katsuki Bakugo: 2388

4. Tokio Aoi: 2047

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

"Man!! There's such a huge gap between Ken and the rest of us!! He basically makes us look like a bunch of rookies!!" Denki exclaimed.

"Those pros don't know a good thing when they see one!" Yuga muttered, clearly pissed off.

" I expected Bakugo to get more offers but I guess the current results are to be expected given his shitty personality." Hants commented.

"Damn those pros!!" Katsuki shouted.

"Whether or not you received any offers we'll be having you all get some 'work place' experience." Aizawa announced. "You've all already dipped a toe in the world of heroes. But I think experiencing the activities of a pro first hand will prove useful to you all."

"That's what the code names are for, huh?" Rikido enquired.

"Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!" Ochako replied.
