(Opening Theme: Demon Slayer Opening-Red Lotus Performed By LiSA)

The written portion had a lot more questions than anyone would've expected. It had taken at least three days to finish, and it did anything but relieve the pressure. Ironically it put them more on pressure on the whole thing, especially to those that scored low on the midterm exam. Though everyone seemed to be at ease when the tests were done and over with they were all relieved it was over.

A day after the written was, it was time for the practical exam. Class 1A had been gathered outside of the Practical Exam Area, at the Center Plaza wearing their Hero Costumes. Though everyone had been surprised when they saw not only Shota was there, but the other teachers were there as well. Many of them played it off like it was nothing as they were still expecting.

"Alright." Shota said, "Now we'll begin with the practical exam. Of course, it is possible for you to fail this exam. If you want to go to the training camp, then don't make any stupid mistakes."

"There are a lot of teachers…" Kyoka commented.

"Yeah, what gives?" Gio asked.

"We expected you guys to get the information about the practical exams by now." Lena announced, "And some of you have an idea on what we're going to do."

"We'll be fighting robot warriors like at the Entrance Exam right!?" Denki said cheerfully.

"Fireworks! Curry! Test of Courage!" Mina yelled.

"Too bad!"

The students had been taken back by a familiar voice, till they noticed that Shota's scarf started to move on it's own. The principal of UA himself, that being Nezu had appeared making everyone jump.

"For various reasons, the exam will be different starting this time!" Nezu said with a smile.

At this the students froze, and a cloud seemed to have formed over Denki and Mina's head.

"Wait a minute!" Gio shouted, "Hold the phone! Are you pranking us!?"

Floyd yelled as his jaw dropped, "YEARS OF ACADEMY TRAINING WASTED!"

Michiko yelled, throwing her head back, "DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! ALL THAT CRAMMING GONE TO CRAP!"

"Different!?" Momo said, "What do you mean different!?"

"Well you see…" Nezu said before climbing down from Shota, "... In light of recent events, we want to focus more and more on person-to-person Hero work, and stress teaching that is closer to actual fighting. Which is why we're gonna have you form teams, and have you fight against one of the teachers!"

At this the class looked even more surprised.

"SAY WHAT!?" Gio shouted.

"We're gonna be fighting, against the teachers?!" Ochaco said surprised.

Floyd added, "AS IN PRO-HERO TEACHERS?!"

"Oh, and in addition to this!" Lena soon said, "The teams and the teacher you've been paired with, have been decided beforehand!"

"These were determined at our discretion based on various factors." Shota added, "Including fighting style, grades, and interpersonal relationships."

"And here's how they are!" Aaron said pulling out a clipboard before he cleared his throat, "The first team, is Shoto & Fubuki Todoroki, Gioco Terebi and Momo Yayorozu. You guys will be facing-" He pointed over to the teacher, "-Shota Aizawa, and assisting him will be my bird brain of a sister, Lena!"

The four of them looked to one another a bit surprised as they looked to Shota himself noting that he still looked tired as they couldn't help but look concerned.

Lena soon stepped forward as she said with an evil smile on her face, "All right, note that i ain't gonna pull any punches and Aaron...Who the hell are you calling birdbrain?!"

"What, I'm not wrong." Aaron said with an innocent smile.

"I'm so gonna kill you after school.." Lena said as she cracked her knuckles.

"Can we move this along?" Shota told them with a glare.

The two of them flinched before Lena said to Shota with a nervous smile, "Yes sir."

"Second team is Izuku Midoriya, Floyd Aihara, Michiko Ayako Jasmine Evans-" Aaron said before reading the fourth name that was on the clipboard, and looked shocked, "-Katsuki Bakugou?"

At this the four of them looked to one another just completely stunned and shocked as well as their classmates.

"You mean-I have to ACTUALLY work with the Pisshead here?!" Floyd exclaimed

"WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THIS MUTT?!" Michiko added

"I'm stuck with Deku, the Half-Breed and the Yakuza weirdo!?" Katsuki exclaimed as he glared.

"SAY THAT AGAIN!" Floyd shouted "I'LL SHOVE THIS BOOT UP YOUR ASS SO HARD BEFORE YOU CAN SAY PLUS ULTRA!"

"TRY ME, INKHEAD!" Katsuki barked back as his hands started to spark "I'LL EXPLODE YOU SKY HIGH TO NIRVANA!"

"DO IT AND THE BOSSMAN'S BOOT WON'T BE THE ONLY THING HE'LL SHOVE UP YOUR ASS!" Michiko pitched in

"Guys, stop it!" Izuku exclaimed trying to get them to stop, "Don't do this now, please!"

"Now, hang on a minute!" Aaron said, stopping them, "Save it for your practical!" He soon cleared his throat before he read from the clipboard, "Your opponents will not only be me, but it will also be-"

"I-!"

The four of them had been taken back when they felt a gush of wind rush through their face; They opened their eyes when the dust cloud disappeared, and they were all in shock by who it was that stood before them.

"-Will do it!"

"ALL MIGHT!?" Izuku, Katsuki, Floyd, and Michiko exclaimed.

"Work together to beat me and young Aaron, all four of you!" All Might told them, "I expect you to do your best!"

Aaron added with a smile, "Teamwork always gets you closer to success!"

Izuku, Floyd and Michiko looked to Katsuki as his glare seemed to have intensified. Izuku avoided eye contact while Floyd and Michiko couldn't help but glare back. All Might noted this as he couldn't help but recall an earlier conversation they had prior before the practical day came.

-A Few Days Earlier; UA Conference Room-

All the teachers were facing a turmoil at the moment, as they were at a stump. They were not really sure how they should proceed in terms of the practical, especially with all the events that had happened prior.

"With the connection between the Hero Killer: Stain and the League of Villains, there is the possibility that the Villains will be reinvigorated, huh?" Nezu said.

"Wouldn't it be better to prevent that before it begins?" Lena asked, "To prevent any danger to the students you know?"

"It would…" Snipe said, "... But as a school it would be best to be completely certain."

"What do you mean?" Lena asked.

"I mean if we consider how fights against Villains will continue in today's soceity." Snipe explained, "Then combat training robots is not practical. Originally, the robots were to avoid complaints about people getting injured in the Entrance Exams."

"We can't ignore those." Shota added, "Let them say what they want."

Aaron soon poke his mind, "You sure?"

"It's for the best." Shota told him, "Trust me."

"But we can't exactly do that now can we?" Nemuri said.

"I understand why you would want to change the exam, but-" Ken started to say, "-Having the students fight against us…"

"...It does seem a bit unfair." Thirteen said.

"If we win too easily, we won't be able to give them grades." Hizashi said.

"Of course, we would take that into consideration." Snipe said, "We'll give the students a handicap of course."

"Principal Nezu?" Shota said turning to him, "What do you think?"

Nezu gave it some thought as he leaned in his chair, "Of course, I also agree with changing the practical exam. What should we do to keep the students from being in even more danger?" He picked up his head, "That answer is simple. We must have the students themselves become stronger."

The teachers looked to one another as they all came to an agreement.

"That's true."

"I have no objections."

Shota soon picked up the papers from his desk, "Now then, to determine the teams-" He said putting together the papers, only setting aside one as he had been hesitant in doing so.

"First on our list, is Todoroki and his sister." Shota started to say, "In general, they're both doing well in their studies. But what they have in common overall is, they tend to use brute force. Terebi's ability while it may be amazing, the downside is his cooldown period along with using one ability based on one video game at a time. And lastly we have Yaoyorozu who is an all rounder, but lacks the ability to make spur of the moment decisions and apply them. Therefore…"

He paused to yawn for a moment before he continued, "... With Lena's assistance, I will erase their Quirks, and take advantage of their weaknesses in close combat.

The teachers seemed to have agreed on this as they nodded their heads.

"Speaking of cooldown periods…" Shota said, "... Your Brother, Lena, Aaron."

The siblings flinched as they looked to Shota.

"I noticed how reckless he's becoming with that Quirk of his to the point were his fingers bled. Along with the Incident with Liquid Poision's daughter. We don't want what happened to your aunt happen to him in a similar way. We already have one student to be worried about."

Lena and Aaron put their heads down in solemn.

"I hear things aren't looking too good at home since he found out. It's no wonder his behavior more erratic than usual today." Nezu said to them. "Perhaps you should have a family meeting and talk things out."

"We've been trying our best Principal, but…" Aaron started to say before Lena picked it back up for him.

She said, "... Every night he comes home late! And he won't even sit down and talk to us at dinner! Even trying to eat with us during lunch!"

"That is troublesome…" Nemuri said.

"Well How else is he supposed to react? You kept this a secret not only to him but to the other siblings as well!" Snipe said.

"Snipe's right." Thirteen added. "It was bound to come out someday."

"Well you're no better!" Lena told him, "You guys have here, and even the other teachers, have known Reina-chan since she was a kid, and you couldn't even have bothered to tell her that her mom was a Villain let only Stain's apprentice!?"

"Hey!" Hizashi said, standing up from his seat, "That's a completely different scenario! Reina-chan's situation is a lot more complicated than you think!"

"How is it more complicated than this!?" Lena argued, "HER MOM, MY AUNT AND MY MOM WERE PRACTICALLY FRIENDS! SISTERS EVEN! HOW HARD WAS IT TO TELL YOUR HER WHO HER ACTUAL MOM WAS?! AND NOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS DECIDED NOT TO SAY ANYTHING, SHE'S RUN AWAY FROM EVERYTHING! HER EDUCATION, HER HOME, THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES, ALL OF YOU!"

"WELL HOW HARD WAS IT TO TELL YOUR YOUNGER SIBLINGS ABOUT A BELOVED FAMILY MEMBER YOU PRACTICALLY GREW UP WITH?! Hizashi retorted. "THE MOMENT HER KILLER'S DAUGHTER DECIDED TO INVADE THE SPORTS FESTIVAL WAS NOW YOU DECIDED TO SPEAK UP?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TWO AND YOUR PARENTS TALKED ABOUT IT WITH THEM?!"

"OH, YOU WANNA GO, RADIO MAN!?" Lena shouted as she was ready to activate her Quirk.

"BRING IT ON!" He barked.

"Now, now you two please!" Nezu said, getting the, to stop, "There's no need to fight amongst ourselves. Doing this will only take us back to the beginning." Nezu soon let out a sigh as he turned to Lena, "I can understand why you're angry given what's happened, but Yamada-kun is right. Reina-chan's situation was more complicated than you realize. The reason why we never said anything is because our dear friend of ours convinced us that her knowing before she came of age would be all the more dangerous than the situation at hand."

Lena still remained unconvinced as she said, "Explain how exactly?"

"Reina-chan's mother had a very complicated life, even before she worked as a teacher and Pro." Nezu soon stated, "She didn't have the childhood she wished for, lost her chance at actually being one I'm afraid. She knew she could never experience it… But that doesn't mean her child could endure the same as she did. Her wish had always been for her young to have the childhood she lost so very long ago. She did whatever she could to make sure they could truly smile."

Lena looked surprised at this sort of thing, but stayed silent the whole time.

"Still, you're not wrong…" Nezu said, "... What we did wasn't fair to her, and now we must pay the price for what has happened. We intended to tell her everything when she turned eighteen, but we never factored in that the Virus would set her up to meet with the Hero Killer or that Reina-chan herself would sneak off during her internship."

"Or the fact that Liquid Poison had a daughter and attacked our students." Thirteen added.

Lena let out a sigh as she rubbed the back of her head, "Seems like all the ugly truths are coming out in their own way, huh?"

Shota soon cleared his throat, "I actually have a solution that will benefit all of us here." He said before he got the records of four certain students.

"As most of you are aware, Reina, Midoriya, Aihara, and Bakugou had all attended the same middle school together." Shota said, "I've been keeping a close eye on them, because one, I didn't trust them around her, and two because of how she kept them all together."

Aaron couldn't help but have a devious smile on his face as he leaned over to Shota. He said in a playful matter, "Awww, you do care about her!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Shota said, turning to Aaron.

Aaron nudged at Shota as he said, "You know… That typical 'I don't trust my daughter around boys' kind of attitude. Trust me, my Dad and Grandpa were like that to Lena before she blossomed."

"H-HEY!" Lena shouted as her face flushed red.

Shota's eyebrow twitched as he said to him, "Do you want to keep your job, Aaron?"

Aaron immediately pulled back as he said "Yes sir, sorry."

"Anyway, Aizawa-san, you were saying?" Nezu asked.

Shota cleared his throat again, "Because of how close Reina is to them, I could tell she was always keeping them in check. Particularly when it came to how Bakugou acted between Midoriya and Aihara. And regardless of whether she's here or not, whether they like it or lump it, they gotta learn to get along when she's not around to keep the peace. Especially Aihara and Bakugo who are more notorious for not getting along."

"Those two where more hostile to each other than usual, since Reina-chan disappeared." Nemuri added

"And then…" Shota said before holding a certain record to them, "... We have this one."

Each of the teachers recognized the description up to them.

"Reflected Blade?" Thirteen said surprised, "The Vigilante?"

"Former, Vigilante." Shota corrected, "Of course she got an earful from the Old man but he understood. Anyway, Her heart's in the right place… But... she lets her emotions get the better of her as he mentioned before. Like the Todoroki twins she goes in head first and causes a lot of damage with her quirk. We just have to find a way for her to control it. Her grades are off to a rocky start as well..then again she just started so we don't know her full potential yet."

"It's risky. Letting a former vigilante enroll in a school such as UA." Snipe said.

"That'll gain a lot of negative media attention." Ken added.

"I already got that covered. Thanks to Lena and Aaron's grandparents." Shota reassured, "As for who they'll be facing, I'll leave that to Aaron…"

He soon turned over to All Might, "... And you All Might."

All Might looked surprised as he double-taked at this, "Wait me?"

Shota nodded his head, "Yes. I didn't pair the four of them not because of their grades or abilities. It's just on how badly they get along." He gave him a look, "You like Midoriya and Aihara don't you? Please instruct them well."

All Might couldn't help but look awkwardly as Katsuki and Floyd continued to bicker, with Izuku and Michiko doing their best to break it all up.

"Aizawa-kun, you really were paying attention." All Might thought to himself, "As always he's perspective."

"LET ME AT THE HALF BREED BASTARD!" Katsuki shouted as he went to kick at Floyd.

Floyd yelled back, giving him the bird "UP YOURS, YOU DAMN WALKING GRENADE!"

"DON'T START NOW!" Most of their classmates yelled.

Nezu cleared his throat, "And now Aaron-kun will announce the teams and teachers they'll be up against!"

Thus they announced the rest of the matchups that would take place for the practical.

The first match-up had been Eijirou Kirishima and Rikido Sato vs Ken Ishiyama.

Second match-up consisted of Fumikage Tokiyama, Chouko Shoichi and Tsuyu Asui as they were going up against Ectoplasm.

The third match up had been Tenya Iida Mashirao Ojiro as they were going to battle Power Loader.

As said before the fourth match up was the Todoroki Twins, Gioco Terebi and Momo Yaoyorozu vs Shota Aizawa and Lena Aihara.

The fifth match was Ochaco Uraraka and Yuga Aoyama vs Thirteen.

The sixth, Mina Ashido and Denki Kaminari vs the Principal himself Nezu.

Seventh had consisted of Kyoka Jiro and Koji Koda as they were going to fight against Hizashi Yamada AKA Present Mic.

The eighth had been Snipe vs Mezo Shoji and Toru Hagakure.

Ninth consisted of Minoru Mineta and Hanta Sero as they were paired up against Nemuri Kayama or as she was better known as Midnight.

The tenth and final match of course had been All Might and Aaron Aihara vs. Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugou, Floyd Aihara, and Michiko Evans.

Once all the match ups had been announced, Nezu went to further explain how the practical was going to work.

"Alright!" Nezu said, "Now each of you will have thirty minutes to complete the exams!" He held up a pair of golden metal cuffs, as he added on, "Your objective is to either put these handcuffs on the teacher, or to have one of you escape from the stage!"

The students couldn't help but look intrigued.

"Capture the teacher or escape…" Denki thought aloud, "... It kind of sounds like combat training."

"Is it really okay to run away?" Mina asked as she raised her hand.

"Yup!" Nezu replied almost immediately.

"But it'll be different from combat training!" Hizashi soon added, "You'll be up against someone WAAAAY better than you!"

"... Better than us?" Kyoka said confused, as Koji tried to stop her from finishing her thought, "I can't really imagine it though…"

"DUMMY!" Hizashi shouted as he had been offended, "HEY GIRL! WATCH YOUR MOUTH, YA HEAR!?"

"Who's ego is this?" Aaron, Floyd and Lena thought in unison as they gave him an awkward look.

"This time, your exam will be very similar to that of a real battle." Thirteen added, "Please, think of us as the Villains."

"Assuming you come across the enemy, if you think you can win against them then that's fine." Snipe soon said, "However-"

"-In cases where there's too big of a difference in your abilities, it would be smarter to run away and get help." Shota soon finished before he looked to a certain few students making them flinch, "Todoroki, Iida, Midoriya, Bakugou, Aihara and Evans. I'm sure you all understand this well."

The four of them couldn't help but think back to Hosu. Katsuki tried to hide how uneasy he looked at the mentioning of it, but the only one who seemed to have noticed had been Izuku himself.

Floyd said with a sigh, "Yeah..we do.."

Michiko added rubbing the back of her head, "Sorry about that, Old Ma-I mean Sensei."

"I won't make that same mistake again." Tenya said, "I will pass the test to prove that!"

"Fight and win… Or run and win." Izuku said to himself.

"That's right!" All Might said, "Your decision-making skills are being tested! But with these rules, you're probably thinking the only choice is to run, right?"

"This is the exact reason why we had the Support Course make these-" Aaron said, before he pulled out what looked to be metal bracelets, "-Ultra compressed weights!"

The teachers placed the weights on their wrists and ankles as to show the students what they were going to expect.

"We'll put on about half of our body." All Might explained, "It's to give you a handicap. It's a bit old fashioned but it makes it hard to move and eats up stamina!" He groaned a little as he stood up, "Oh, shoot, these are heavier than I thought!"

"Oh geez you're right." Aaron said, before adding, "Oh, fun fact! We had a design competition to decide on how it should look, so we ended up using Hatsume's."

"You mean from the Support Course?!" Izuku exclaimed.

"I remember her!" Gio said, "She's the girl that used Iida as a-"

Gio had soon been cut off when Floyd smacked him on the head. He whispered, "dude! Read the room!"

Katsuki couldn't help but click his tongue, "To allow us to fight you, huh? You're underestimating us."

All Might laughed, "I wonder…"

Nezu soon clapped his paws, "All right, each team will take the practical exam in order of the prepared stage!"

"That means you two are up first." Shota said, turning to Eijirou and Sato, "So get ready."

"Yes sir!" They both said.

"As for the rest of you waiting for your turn-!" Lena said, "-Come up with strategies as a team. That's all! Good luck!"

The teachers went inside the building to prepare for the coming battle themselves. Most of the students began to discuss strategy to fight against the teachers.

"Ojiro-kun." Tenya said, "If you don't mind, I would like to go over to see what we can do with our Quirks."

"Of course." Ojiro said, before following Tenya off to the side.

"Tokiyama-chan, Shoichi-chan?" Tsuyu said, "Let's come up with a plan."

"Sure." Chouko said.

"Very well." Fumikage said before they went off.

"The problem is, how to strip Ms. Midnight, right?" Mineta said raising his fist in the air.

"Nah, you're just scum." Sero replied.

"You're just asking for a boot up your ass aren't ya?" Floyd asked in a menacing tone making Mienta Flinch.

"God, I feel like he's gotten worse." Gio said ruffling his hair, before he turned to Izuku's group, "How are you guys going to handle All Might?"

"That is a good question." Michiko said, "We should go over strategy-"

The moment she turned to Katsuki, she saw that he was nowhere to be seen, which made her jaw drop.

She couldn't help but yell, "OH COME ON! WE SERIOUSLY HAVE TO WORK WITH THAT GUY?!"

Floyd said as he growled, "seems so.."

Izuku let out a sigh, "I… Guess it can't be helped. What do you say we head to the monitor room?"

Floyd replied with a shrug, "Yeah why not."

"But wait, shouldn't we at least form a strategy?" Michiko asked ultimately getting ignored. Michiko pouted slightly, as she said before she followed behind them, "Oh come on!"

Izuku, Floyd and Michiko had entered the building as they went to the monitor room. It was pretty easy to find considering that there had been a great big neon sign that said monitor room. Though Izuku had been the one to have suggested it, he was hesitant in entering as he had a thought come over him.

Floyd noticed this as he looked to Izuku, "Hey dude, you okay?"

"Ye-yeah." Izuku replied, "You go on in, I'll catch up."

Floyd replied as he gave them a pat on the shoulder, "Got it! I'll see ya in a bit!"

With that Floyd went inside as Izuku gave a sigh. Rummaging through his pockets, he took out his phone before he dialed the same number again, and listened to the familiar message after a few dial tones.

"Hey there caller! You've reached Reina Nouki's voicemail, AKA my voicemail, the one you dialed up-Sorry at the moment I can't come to the phone. I'm either A grounded, B hanging out with my best friends, or C in the hospital, again. Wait scratch that last part, pretend you didn't hear that. Anyway if you leave a message, I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can, until then-"

Soon enough, Izuku started to speak, soon after the beep, "Hi again Reina-chan. Today's the big day of our practical. We finished the written exams just yesterday, and you won't believe what they're having us do in the practical. At first we thought they were going to have us fight robots like they did in the Entrance Exam and Sports Festival, but the Principal told us that we have to fight against one of the teachers. Floyd-san, Evan-san and I were all paired up together… Kaa-chan too."

Izuku let out a sigh, "It's a big surprise I know. I just can't help but wonder, that if you were here, who you would be paired with. Maybe with Todoroki-kun… Or Uraraka-san… Maybe Iida-kun…"

Izuku's body shook a little as he took a deep breath, "... We're going to be facing All Might and Aaron-san for our practical, and I'm going to be honest… I'm scared. I'm not even sure if we'll be able to pass, considering who we're going to be up against. We would talk about strategy, but…" He sighed, "You know how Kaa-chan is…"

He trembled a little before as he wasn't quite sure if he should say it or not, "... I'm not sure… How Kaa-chan has been doing since what happened to Hosu by the way. I'm not saying you had anything to do with it, God forbid, but-I don't know what it is, but he seems more on edge you know? It just seems like he's hiding something but I'm not sure what it is exactly. I'm just hoping I can figure it out before we face him. I'd rather not let him get more hurt then he already is. You probably won't talk to him, and I'm not saying you should. It's your decision after all. I'll do my best to look out for him… For both of us."

Ochaco soon approached as she noticed Izuku standing out in the hall. "Hey! Deku!" She called out.

Izuku took notice of her approaching him. "I gotta go." Izuku said, "Wish us luck, and stay safe."

With that he hung up, and placed his phone back in his pocket, waving to her. "Hey, Uraraka-san!" He said.

"Are you, Aihara-kun and Evans-san watching too?" Ochaco asked him.

"Yeah." He replied, "We don't have many opportunities to see other students fight the teachers. Even if we wanted to talk strategy, Kaa-chan had already gone ahead of us."

"I see…" Ochaco said with solemn, "... But as for me…" She made an awkward look as she laughed nervously, "It's like there's no point in talking to him."

Izuku made that sort of look as well, as he knew that she was talking about her partner.

"That's why I thought I'd try to use everyone's fight for reference." Ochaco added.

"I guess great minds think alike." Izuku said, causing her to turn red.

"So…" Ochaco started to say, "I noticed that you were talking on the phone just now…. Were you calling Reina-chan by any chance?"

Izuku looked to the floor, as he didn't answer; though this only seemed to have answered her question. "Has she answered you?" Ochaco asked.

"No… She hasn't so far." He replied, "I've been leaving her messages since they told us she was missing. I thought it would be better if I keep her updated on what's been happening, so I keep calling her with every chance I get."

"... Does Aihara-kun know you've been trying to reach her?" She asked.

Izuku nodded in reply though he still stayed silent.

"Does… Bakugou-kun know…?" She soon asked.

"...I've been…" Izuku started to say, "... Trying to work my up to telling him, but…" He rubbed his elbow as Ochaco could tell he looked uneasy. "He hasn't been looking like himself." He confided, "I know he misses Reina-chan, I can even tell he's uneasy given the fact that he nearly died, but, I can't help but feel like there's something else that's been bothering him."

"How do you know if there is?"

"Before… He said he didn't want a repeat of what happened in Hosu… I know he meant something with that… But I just can't figure out what it is…"

Ochaco gave Izuku a pat on the shoulder as she smiled, "... I'm sure everything will be alright Deku. Don't worry about it too much, okay?"

Once again, Izuku didn't reply as his look softened a little, Ochaco gave him one more pat on the shoulder. "Come on, let's head inside." She said before heading in.

With one more sigh, Izuku proceeded to follow Ochaco in, but-

"-Don't know if I should-"

Izuku stopped in his tracks as he turned behind, having heard a familiar voice.

"... Reina-chan?"
