"How! How could you betray me like this Kaminari?!" Mineta declared with the sort of grandeur that if I didn't know better, I'd assume he's playing it up on purpose. "Oh sure Andros is part of his group, good for him he managed to do it with that suit on, but we were like brothers, to hunt together and then score together, to find the hottest babes and score, but you struck out on your own! At least tell me what her sizes are!"

This was the sort of scene I walked into after talking with Iida. "You talk like that and wonder why it's hard for you to get the girls." I deadpanned.

"You're not much better with how oblivious you are!" Mineta shot back.

"Hey, hey, relax you two," Kaminari remarked, with a bigger grin on his face than I think I've seen outside of a perving moment. "And besides, I ain't telling anything, not even about the date. Promised Setsuna-chan."

"CHAN?!" Mineta cried out in shock. "Next you'll tell me the two of you don't even use suffixes!"

"It's a sweet little mystery at least," Mina remarked with a smile. "Andros and I just went to a café."

I just gave a thumbs up at that as I headed for my desk. "Oh yeah, but you undersell it. How many twists and turns did you have us take to find it?" I questioned.

Mina grinned even wider. "Hey, that's how I know to find it. There are all sorts of secret spots out there if you know where to look." Mina insisted… even as Mineta looked back and forth between us, slowly raising an accusing finger at me.

I tilted the helmet down a bit at that… before chuckling. "Get your mind out of the gutter Mineta. It was a cutesy thing and Mina picked it." I noted in amusement.

Mina gave the little pervert a look with puffed-out cheeks, and it seemed he got the message. Before anything else could be said, the door to the class opened, and I swear that everyone develops Iida level speed to avoid being caught out by Aizawa-sensei. Fortunately, what little bandages he had from the USJ incident – far less than I remembered anyway – were gone now. And of course, there was only one response after what he said next.

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

"FINALLY! SOMETHING EXCITING!" Pretty much the entire class, including myself, exclaimed… before being cowed into line with a single stare from Aizawa. Man, that glare of his is amazing!

"This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned a few weeks back," Aizawa remarked. "As one of you probably knows, the drafts begin in earnest during the second and third years, after you've gained experience and can be more useful to the pros. If heroes show interest in you now, it means they are interested in your future potential. If you don't live up to that potential, those offers can go away by the time graduation rolls around."

"So, we have to prove ourselves once we get picked right?" Hagakure asked and- oh for crying out loud people.

"Individual basis! Each hero is different, and I'll be talking it over once the code names are done!" I insisted before slumping over. This was the other reason I brought the book today. Oh, I'd re-read the individual books last night but… well, the events one was written first and thus has a couple of bits of info I remembered and wrote down.

"If you're done putting more pressure on your classmate, these are the totals of the offers people got," Aizawa remarked, pressing the button to the remote. Honestly, the fact that the blackboard was also a screen was just… amazing to me. I'd heard of stuff like that back before, I remember that, but to see it in action before your eyes was just amazing.

What was more amazing? The rankings. While Todoroki was in first place – probably the same as before – with a little over 4000 offers, the next one down… was Bakugou with only 1500. I… don't remember THAT much of a gap, but then I don't remember much at all. Next was Tokoyami and Iida with 500s each, with Izuku, Mina and myself all just below that with mid to high 400s, followed by Kaminari, Momo, Kirishima, Uraraka and Sero… but all with more than I expected. Didn't Bakugou and Todoroki dominate the offers before?

"While the amount of offers is usually more spread out, due to certain performances Todoroki came off with more offers… as well as certain other factors." Aizawa remarked, looking at Bakugou (who simply huffed) and myself. Ah. Right. I DID air Bakugou's past on live TV, didn't I?

"Guess some heroes didn't think it was the right thing for you to just say stuff about Bakugou on TV," Satou noted. "I mean, I get it, but you were giving as good as you got."

"To be fair I double-checked things before I came here today… and I can tell some of those numbers are off." I admitted.

"You meant that I have fewer offers than before?" Mina asked. I simply remained quiet. "More?"

"If my lack of noting is any indication… any." I confessed, causing Mina to face fault as I turned to Izuku. "I say that because I did the same for Midoriya-kun, and I know you wouldn't have before."

Izuku nodded at that. "I… didn't have my new technique then, right. They would've just seen…" He trailed off, muttering.

"Makes sense that seeing someone break their body like that wouldn't… inspire trust." Sero noted. "But none? That's just harsh. I got taken out in less than half a minute!"

"We got offers though!" Uraraka squealed, shaking Iida back and forth.

Todoroki's mood seemed more… overcast. "I should be closer to the rest of you. I wonder how many of those are because of my dad." He insisted.

"As someone who faced your Quirk, don't undersell yourself," Sero remarked.

Momo nodded. "Indeed, I'm just glad I was able to get some requests of my own." She confessed.

"Regardless of if you were asked for or not, you'll all be participating in internships with the pros." Aizawa pointed out. "While the USJ – as well as upcoming events – means that you'll have more exposure to the combat side of being a hero than I'd like at this stage, undergoing these internships with the pros will help expose you to all sides of being a hero."

"Which is why we have the hero names?" Jiro remarked.

"Well, these names are still temporary, but if you're not serious about it…" Aizawa started… before the door opened and the once-legislated-against modern hero art history teacher entered.

"You'll have hell to pay later!" Midnight declared. And yes, she was legislated against. That was a piece I looked up online here, apparently her costume before her current one was even skimpier to the point of nudity, and they put the decency laws in place as a result. "Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, and they end up becoming professional hero names!"

"So, Midnight will be making sure your names are ok," Aizawa remarked as he pulled up his sleeping bag – gotta figure out where he buys those. "I can't do stuff like that." Some of the others started to look back at me before Aizawa let out a sigh. "Present Mic suggested it when we were both students. And I'd rather you don't ask Nebulos about my past. Or for name suggestions." Punctuated with an Eraser Glare of course.

Thank you, sensei. "Just nobody take the name 'Yolo Swag King' and you should be fine." I deadpanned… wait. Where did that name come fro- dammit my selective memory, why did THAT name get stuck into your head and not Tensei and Stain meeting?!

Guh. Still, gotta think of a name. Let's see… maybe "Steam Hero, Nebula"? Nah, that makes me sound space-themed, and I tend to use the gas more to power me up than anything else. Hmm… let me break out the phone quickly, I need to check a few details-

"And remember, when you're ready, you'll be presenting your names!" Midnight added.

"Well, I'll go first then!~ " Aoyama remarked. "Prepare yourself for the Shining HeroI Cannot Stop Twinkling!~ "

Yep. DEFINITELY remembered that one, hello desk my friend.

"It'd be better if you shortened it to 'Can't Stop Twinkling'." Midnight remarked – and I raised my hand. "Yes, Nebulos?"

"I'd be objecting to the logic behind that… if it was anyone but Aoyama." I noted with a shrug. "But… well, Aoyama, you dance to your own beat. I wouldn't expect a sentence from anyone else."

Midnight smiled at that. "And that's exactly why I'm fine with just shortening it. This means that Aoyama can be a hero that people can call out for when in need, but still shows who he is." She remarked. "Which is why some of you might get away with names that are tied to you. Your hero name is who YOU are, nobody else. It's why you can't ask someone else to tell you what to be. "She stopped. "Wait then why did you raise your hand?"

"Because that name sounds just as cheesy to me and I wanted to point out that viewpoint." I deadpanned. "As I said, it wouldn't work if it wasn't Aoyama."

"I choose to take that as a compliment, merci~ " Aoyama insisted. You keep doing that shining hero. Still, as he sat down, Tsuyu was up next, passing by Mina who… seemed to be looking rather hard at what she'd written down. Huh. I hope she's ok…

"Froppy! Froppy! Froppy!" Oh, the class is chanting? Ok, yeah, Rainy Season Hero: Froppy. I don't see a need to comment myself, I should probably focus on a name for my-

Iida's staring at his. Gah. For all I want to push him to, Ingenium is not a name I feel like I should be recommending right now. Ok, back to the phone… let's see and…

Ok, perfect, I can do that. I write mine down quickly, but as I stand up, I see Kirishima and Mina do the same. Sheepishly, I just sat back down and gesture to them, and Mina just smiled at Kirishima. Right, she knew him in middle school, so she wants to encourage him on.

"Sturdy Hero: Red Riot!" Kirishima declared in a voice that I can just taste the testosterone in.

"Red Riot? Playing homage to the Chivalrous Hero: Crimson Riot, are you?" Midnight asked.

"Yes. It's pretty old fashioned, but the image I'm going for is Crimson himself." Kirishima admitted. "And it's only helped that I'm not the only one in the class doing that." I just flashed another thumbs up, even as I spot both Iida and Izuku stiffen slightly.

"If you're prepared for the pressure it'll put on you, then bear it with pride!" Midnight pointed out. "I'd ask if you'd considered it, but the answer is obvious." She glanced over at Mina and I… and I just gestured to Mina.

With a sheepish grin, Mina stepped up to the front podium. "I uh… I had a different version of this name before, but this is one I have a reason to go for." Mina insisted. "Acidic Hero: Alien Queen!"

"L-like the black alien monster from those old horror movies?" Midnight squeaked out fearfully. "W-why do you want to go with that one?"

Mina's smile became a little smaller. "Well… cause when I was really little, I was called an alien a lot. And… well, I wanna use that. Aliens are cool!" She exclaimed. "I want to take the name and make it a beacon of hope. I want pink to be as recognized as black when people think of it. The Acidic Hero!"

Midnight hummed at that, tapping a nail softly on the desk-like structure. "It's not going to be an easy thing for you to overcome. When someone says Alien Queen to me, I think of the monster. A lot of people will." Midnight warned. "Are you ok with having that pressure on you?"

Mina just flashed a smile that I swear left my blinking for a moment due to how sunny and bright it was. "Let them think it! I'll show them how friendly this alien is!" She insisted, pumping her fist.

"Alien Queen!" I called out. Before Kirishima's voice joined in for the second "Alien Queen!" And soon the entire class was giving her a Froppy style declaration.

Mina's done, I looked down at mine…. And shook my head, I need to… think about this. I want my name to be… me.

"Then I'm next!" Jiro insisted as she stepped up. "Sound Hero: Earphone Jack!"

"Oooh, not just hearing but sending it out too! I like it!" Midnight exclaimed. Of course, as soon as Jiro sat down, the next up was Shoji.

"Tentacle Hero: Tentacole," Shoji remarked.

"Interesting blend of Japanese and English!" Midnight noted with approval.

And at that… I stood up, swallowing as I did. Oh sure, I wasn't unused to talking in front of a crowd but… well, it doesn't stop me from being nervous and slightly fogging up my suit. "Um… this is one I had to check I could use… Steam Hero: Blood Stark." I announced.

"Another villain-based name?" Midnight asked. "And isn't that just what your transformed state looks like?"

"I… think I might have turned into that because I associated the look so much with my Quirk," I admitted. "I-I double checked that it was in the public domain-"

"That's not the problem I have with it." Midnight cut in. "It's… a worse problem than Ashido's. You already are taking on the look of an – admittedly niche – villain. And even his voice at times. But now you want to take on the name too? People would stereotype you the wrong way."

I blinked a bit in shock… even as I gripped my board a bit harder. "I… I get that…" I muttered.

Midnight opened her mouth to speak… and then stopped as she looked at me. "I appreciate the thought you've put into it Nebulos… but you're underselling yourself." She remarked.

"Wha-?" I started to ask but-

"She's right Andros!" Sato called out. "Your power isn't just to turn into that red guy is it?"

"You didn't have it when you fought moi, and it was incroyable~ " Aoyama… flamboyantly pointed out.

"I don't think Blood Stark when I look at your suit." Jiro pointed out.

I blinked as I looked from person to person as they pointed this out. Even Bakugou let out a dismissive sounding 'tch'. But then-

"… Blood Stark is the name of a villain who manipulates people, right Nebulos-san?" Iida asked. Struck briefly dumb, I nodded. "Then that can't be your name. You try to help people. You make mistakes… but you care about people too much. And as the others said, you're more than just that one form."

More than just the form… it has to be something that's… me…

"I picked it based on my Quirk."

That's it! I quickly wiped the sleeve of my suit on the board and wrote down a new name onto it. "Then I'll go with what I am. The Nebula Hero: Andromeda!" I declared

"Galactic! And far more fitting for the amount of potential you have." Midnight confirmed with a thumbs up.

Of course, while I headed back to my desk with a smile on my face, I noticed Bakugou heading up. I tried to catch his eye, to wave him down, to shake my head but…

"King Explosion Murder." Bakugou declared.

Of course.

"You probably shouldn't use that." Midnight commented.

"WHY NOT?" Bakugou yelled in clear frustration.

"What about Explosion Boy?" Kirishima called out.

I hummed even as I sat back down. "I guess something like Ground Zero could be cool too," I commented.

"YOU CAN BOTH SHUT UP!"


From there, the names seemed… familiar to me. Bakugou kept turning down any suggestions I handed out – Midnight actually pointed out Napalm is in bad taste given nearby countries, and I didn't even suggest something else Atomic related – but the names seemed familiar. Chargebolt, Invisible Girl… Iida not picking a name, annoyingly. I was hoping my earlier speech would have pushed him to it… I suppose it doesn't always work out. But Aizawa-sensei had woken up from his nap and was… oh. I'm not listening again, damnit.

"-the internships. They will last a week." Aizawa noted as – oh come on, is he staring at me because he knows I wasn't paying attention somehow? Teachers, geez. "As for who you do them with, those of you who had offers from the pros will be given your own lists so you can pick from them yourself. Those of you who didn't will be picking from forty agencies around the country-"

As Aizawa continued on I pulled my book out quickly, flipping through pages. Something's bothering me beyond Iida and Izuku's upcoming actions with Stain.

"Nebulos. I take it by you skimming through your book you have something you want to say about this?" Aizawa remarked with a sharp edge in his voice.

Let's see… ah, here! Sad to think, but I can't spill on Iida's need for revenge. If that goes as it did, it's a legitimate best-case scenario, although I am going to try and funnel backup to make it easier. But there's two things I would need to point out to Aizawa. "I have two names you might want to disqualify from the lists. One of them is on the general list." I explained.

"That's a pretty big accusation." Midnight pointed out… even as her look seemed slightly more eager than worried. "Which heroes?"

"Mt Lady and Uwabami," I commented, Midnight's eager look turning malicious. "Mineta, knowing you, Mt Lady would've been your choice, right?"

"And why are you-" Mineta started, before Tsuyu's tongue shot out across the room and smacked him. "I mean, yeah, why?"

"She plans to use her interns like cleaning staff while she waits for villains to stop." I deadpanned. "I might not like you, but I'm not going to have you waste your time."

"Nor will we," Aizawa noted with a scowl. "I can't take that just on your information Andros… but I will advise students not to take this up. We will look into this."

"And the other one?" Midnight asked. I flipped through the book a page or two to – ah, the upcoming exams. Yeah, there's a reason this one is noted.

I turned to point at Momo. "YaoMomo, do you have… Uwabami on your list?" I questioned.

"Um… yes, I do," Momo responded, even as I pretended not to see Midnight's look turn downright sinister. "Why, what's wrong with her?"

"She also picked Kendo from class 1-B too," I remarked – I had taken some notes on Kendo before after all. "She just wants the two of you for being pretty to star in a commercial."

"That sounds entirely like something she'd do." Midnight noted darkly. "I'll let Vlad know."

I blinked owlishly even as Midnight left the room. "Uh… what?" I asked.

"Yeah, I thought she'd react like that to Mt Lady - they fought on TV once," Mineta commented.

Aizawa shook his head before speaking. "Midnight, despite how her costume might seem, takes being a hero very seriously. Mt Lady is known for being selective with her jobs due to her Quirk, but she's also inexperienced, if she's found to be doing what she's doing, she'll be reprimanded for it." RIP Kamui Woods. "Uwabami is a known name even among the heroes who also have jobs – Best Jeanist has been known to criticize her at times. While she is an effective hero in a crisis, on everyday hero work she's known to prioritize model shoots, which makes her less effective on patrols due to the attention she gathers." Aizawa explained. "Last year an, at the time, first-year student from Shiketsu complained about the experience enough that the principal has warned other Hero Schools."

… wait. Shiketsu. Female. Last year. Naaaaah. Couldn't be.

"Hand in your choices by the weekend," Aizawa remarked – ah, time for regular classes to start.

"We only have two days?" Kaminari burst out.

I mean, plenty of time if you ask me. Oh, but first… before the next teacher gets in, I walked over to Bakugou.

"What do you want, Gas Suit? Class is about to start." Bakugou growled.

I looked at him as directly as I could. "There's a third hero choice I didn't mention because it's not the hero, but the relationship that's the issue," I muttered, low enough that Bakugou would be the only one to hear. "To be blunt – Best Jeanist and you will not mix. Your ideals and his are a bad match. He focuses on being friendly, you don't. Don't pick him." With that cautionary warning delivered, I just set myself back down. I had an idea for Lunch forming.


"You all want modifications for your costumes?!~" Mei declared with the most starstruck look I think I've ever seen from her. While not everyone in the class had been up for a quick detour before eating to talk with the support department, Jiro, Kaminari, Sero, Sato, and Hagakure had all decided they could at least do with discussing things.

… and I had double-checked that Power Loader was in. Unfortunately for him and Koda, who had clearly been clinging behind, with a pair of squirrels on his shoulders, both with tiny goggles.

"Oh, my goodness! Those are adorable!" Hagakure almost squealed "But wait, why does he have pets?"

Koda shook his head even as he took a step back from the approaching invisible girl, pointing to himself, then to his throat, then to the… ah, right, he's shy, isn't he? Was when I last visited too. I suppose exposure to Mei is the only reason he isn't trying to hide right now.

"Koda has been granted permission to use his Quirk in class if it helps with his support items." Power Loader explained. "He can talk to animals and command them."

"And his animals are fantastic when we work together on collaborative babies~," Mei remarked with glee, Koda – as well as his squirrel friends I noticed – rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

Still, I walked in. "Sorry Koda, I could only think of now for us to come around while Mei was still here – you know how her mind goes with support," I admitted, the shy boy nodding.

"You know him?" Sero asked.

Sato shook his head. "It'd be more shocking if he didn't, he and Mei are practically siblings." Sato countered.

"That's… actually a good point." Sero noted, rubbing his chin. "Ah, but yes, if you could help-"

"Your Quirk is Tape, right? What's the mechanism?" Mei asked, instantly up in Sero's face and with a tape measure out. Simultaneously she started pointing at Jiro "Oh, and you, you've got headphone connectors! Are you limited to just those devices?!"

"Ah? Um…" Jiro started… before looking at me in a brief panic. I just shrugged my arms; I can't stop a Meinado even if I wanted to.

"Mei, maybe you could help me out first, you know my Quirk… I'm worried about the speed of deploying it and what to do when it wears off." Sato interrupted. Oooh, good play, as Mei DOES know Sato's Quirk.

Mei turned and grinned… before stopping and grinning wider. "Ah, before that, I've been working on a new baby for Andros!"

Eh? "What?" I asked. "But I-"

"This is part of the Fullbottle project!" Mei insisted.

Power Loader sighed. "It's her design, but I brought it up – she likes to talk about her past inventions sometimes." Power Loader remarked, shooting Mei a look that did… nothing. Of course. "Once a week at least, she tries to focus on other inventions too. But I pointed out to her how you had trouble finishing your fights during the Festival."

Oof. I mean true, but oof. I'm pretty sure everyone just saw me wince at that, with Jiro even nodding. "Yeah, it was like that when you fought me too right?" Jiro asked.

Mei turned to me with a grin and I flashed her a glare. "Yes, she has the Hazard Level, no, she isn't being turned into a Smash unless things are that bad!" I insisted.

"W-what?" Jiro questioned. "A Smash?"

"So, we could put the gas afterwards in a Fullbottle!" Mei declared. "That would let me prove it can contain something other than Andros' own!"

Oh right! The Fullbottle we sent to Intelli Labs a week or two ago. Forgot about th- wait. I turned around and looked at Mei accusingly. "You wouldn't be preparing to give this if I couldn't use it right away, which means-"

"Which means Mei-chan called me ahead of time to let me know we were about to do this!" Mei grinned as she pulled out a tablet showing, of course, the face of Saiko Intelli. "To those of you who don't know, I'm Intelli Saiko, second-year of Seiai Academy, and part of the Fullbottle Project." Saiko introduced.

"A student from another school?" Sero asked.

Hagakure leaned over. "And a girl? Is Mina going to be jealous?" Hagakure teased.

I ignored that for now. "You managed to purify it already?" I announced, shocked.

"You make it sound easy Nebulos-kun," Saiko admitted. "Even with the notes that both Hatsume-chan and her father provided, it took a few days of solid work for the machine we put together to purify your Fullbottle."

"Wait wait wait, purify?" Jiro commented. "I thought that Andros gas was dangerous, what do you mean by purifying it?"

I grinned a bit as I turned. "What I can do with my gas by itself is turn people into monsters. That's raw, unpurified Nebula Gas. When put through the right process-"

"Which you seem to have partly done with the gas you use on yourself," Saiko interjected.

"-you can purify the gas and turn it into a full Fullbottle." I finished.

Mei chose that moment to lean in. "Which means that anyone who has Smash form can change into it at will if they have their bottle!" She insisted.

"OR, what I can use it for is to transform or power up my transformed state without using my own gas." I countered hard.

Mei just grinned shamelessly and handed me a small open lidded box. Inside was a small black bottle – small enough that I could wrap a single hand around it all the way and shake it easily - with the image of a cobra rising up on the outside, dark red gas on the inside. Different from the Cobra Fullbottle I knew, but that was nice. On the back of the bottle was a rectangular piece of bottle material – I wasn't going to ask because knowing Mei it's a half-hour talk. Next to it was a holster that looked like it was designed to hang off of a belt and had three slots for Fullbottles to hang on – a Fullbottle holster in other words. And finally, a simple black holder, like the three from before, but it had a strap around it as well as what seemed to be a port on the side of it.

"Basically, Sweet Baby #22 is designed so you can take a bottle off your belt and push it into this, injecting your body with a bit of the gas briefly to give you a powered-up attack!" Mei explained.

"So, in other words… it'll let him do one of those cheesy finishing moves." Sero summed up.

"Hey!" I complained.

"Yes, it lets him use one of those cheesy finishing moves." Saiko concurred.

"HEY!"


I groaned as I slumped down at the lunch table. "You guys are mean." I groaned out.

Kendo tilted her head. "Wha- you went to see Mei-san, how could that end up with them being mean to you?" Kendo questioned.

"I got a Fullbottle back… and new gear and Sero teased me for it." I noted petulantly.

Sato sighed at that. "Those finishers ARE cheesy Andros, and we both know you're going to use them for it." Sato pointed out.

Any argument I had was interrupted by Neito letting out a peal of laughter. "Of course! You have your item and now you're going to go full TV hero on us aren't-" Neito started, only to be interrupted by a soft chop to the neck from Hagakure and Kendo at the same time. "Ahem. Maybe you might like to change the subject then? Who have you picked so far for your hero choices?"

At that, another head poked up over the side section and, with a polite excuse, Momo moved around and came into view. "Apologies, but I couldn't help but overhear you discussing hero placements?" Momo questioned. As we all nodded, she smiled. "Well, after discounting Uwabami for… reasons." Both she and Kendo frowned at that point. "I wanted to ask if any of you know one hero with an… interesting name who sent a request to me."

"Isn't that more Midoriya's job?" I asked half-jokingly. I got why Momo wanted to ask, she wanted to know if this person was another one, she risked wasting her time with. "Go ahead." I opened the bottle of my cola and took a small sip.

"The BMI Hero Fatgum." Momo continued. One might expect me to spray out my cola… but it was halfway down my throat, so I had to settle for shocked coughing instead. "Oh, are you ok Nebulos-san?"

"P-perfect." I croaked out. "And Fatgum… he's perfect! He's got a great attitude, a great hero approach… and his power is kinda like yours." Holy crap how did I never think of that before? Fatgum is literally the only other fat-based hero I can think of.

"At least for you, it's easy enough to pick a hero to learn under with your Quirk." Neito contemplated. "I'd be in trouble if I had to pick from the standard list." Oh, for Rider's sake he's practically glimmering and begging for the question.

"Who sent you the recommendation?" I droned out. "C'mon Neito you're almost as transparent as Hagakure is normally."

"I resemble that remark!" Hagakure commented with a giggle. She, like Sato, was stuck with the standard list entirely.

Neito practically preened at the comment. "Well, I just so happened to get a recommendation from not just a hero, but a hero TEAM~!" He flaunted, holding up a paper… signed with a four-coloured paw. "The Wild Wild Pussycats!"

I looked on; slack-jawed at that. "Wha... how?"

"You didn't know?" Kendo asked. "Neito's team from the Cavalry battle got a bit of attention for managing to take on both your team and Bakugou's at the same time. I got a bit of attention too, but no special requests… I'm actually thinking of taking on Mt Lady." I opened my mouth but Neito shook his head at that.

"I told her about Mt Lady's… issues already." Neito admitted. "But they have similar Quirks, it might be enough."

Ah… ok, yeah, that works. "Well if we're comparing requests…" I commented… before pulling out one I'd kept with me out of personal interest. "It's not the highest-ranking, but the most interesting. Sir Nighteye – All Might's old Sidekick."

"And the one Mirio-senpai is interning for." Neito extrapolated. "Is this about you hoping to get better Quirk control or…" As he trailed off, everyone looked at each other nervously.

I simply shook my head at that. Of course, it's not for time stuff – Nighteye's Quirk doesn't work like that I don't think. "You had it right the first time – Sir sending me the request is odd enough-"

"You two know his protégé, it's not that shocking," Mina commented.

I indicated towards Mina at that. "Fair. But Sir has the skill to bring out potential in heroes… I'm just hoping I can take advantage of that." I admitted. "But you've been quiet Mina… and you're usually more talkative. So… who are you going with."

Mina, at that, grinned, reached into her bag, and pulled out what looked like a normal letter, unfolding it slowly… and then setting it down on the table. "I think I win the ranking list. The Number Five hero – Ninja Hero: Edgeshot." Mina declared.

"WHAT?" We all exclaimed in shock, disbelief… and pride. It meant good things if Mina had been noticed that high up.

And in that time, that happy little lunch, we allowed ourselves a bit of fun talking over the internships. And to just… relax.
