A/N: I'm back! Sorry everyone for that unannounced hiatus... I had finals last week, and then I started working on an animatic for my YouTube channel...

But I'm officially on break! :D

I've decided this fic will definitely have an upload schedule, just so I don't feel pressured to upload so often. New chapters will probably be every Sunday if possible.

I haven't worked on this fic since the last chapter I uploaded; I only just started writing again yesterday... oops.

Hitomi was waiting on the train platform before she felt something tug her skirt.

"Um, excuse me?"

Looking to her right, she saw a little girl looking up at her with a shy look on her face.

"Yes…?"

"You got third place at the UA Sports Festival, right?"

Hitomi's face turned red, realizing again that the sports festival was broadcasted nationwide. "Um, yeah, I did!"

The girl's face suddenly broke into a bright smile, offering Hitomi a pen and notepad. "Can I have your autograph?"

Hitomi's face turned even redder before she took the pen and notepad. "Of course…" she said as she knelt down beside the little girl. "Do you want to be a hero when you grow up?" she asked as she wrote her name.

The girl nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! I wanna be just like you!"

Hitomi paused, staring at her. "Like me?"

The girl nodded. "Super smart and super great at using your quirk! The way you fought was amazing! My dad even said you would be a good role model!"

Hitomi felt like her face was on fire. "Oh, well that's…" She struggled to find words before she heard a voice nearby.

"We need to go, sweetie!"

A woman was standing several feet away, staring at the two of them.

That must be her mom.

Hitomi drew a little doodle of herself by her name before handing the notepad and pen back to the girl. "I'm sure you'll be a great hero," she said as she pat the little girl on the head. "Just remember, there isn't just one single way to use your quirk. Always try to think outside the box."

The girl flashed her a smile before running back to her mother, right as Hitomi's train arrived.


Class 1-A sat tense in their seats as they waited for Aizawa to announce what they'd be doing today.

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

The class cheered as people jumped out of their seats in excitement.

"We're gonna do something exciting!"

Aizawa's eyes flashed, the class falling back into order as if nothing happened. "This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned the other day. The drafts begin in earnest in the second and third years, after students have gained experience and can become immediate assets to the pros. In other words, for them to extend offers to first years like you shows that they are interested in your future potential. These offers are often cancelled if that interest dies down by graduation."

Aizawa continued, before he pressed a button on a remote.

"And here are the totals for those with offers."

A projection on the board appeared, revealing names and the amount of offers.

Hitomi's eyes glazed over the first two names.

Todoroki and Bakugou.

They each had more than 3000 offers, making Hitomi feel even more intimidated by them.

She kept scanning the board, finding her name two lines below Bakugou.

294 offers.

"In other years," Aizawa said, "it's been more spread out, but all eyes were on these two this year."

"Gah, there's such a big difference!" Kaminari exclaimed.

Everyone commented on those who got offers before Aizawa continued. "Keeping these results in mind, whether or not anyone asked for you, you will all be participating in internships with pros."

Midnight had arrived to the class to supervise and make sure everyone's hero names were acceptable.

Yaoyorozu passed Hitomi a whiteboard and marker, leaving Hitomi to stare at the blank board as she tried to think of a name.

Something that would reflect me…


Hitomi was still struggling to think of a name as people started presenting their hero names.

She was racking her brain for ideas before she suddenly remembered an offhand comment Nari had made about her back when they were little.

That's it!

Hitomi scrawled out what she hoped would be a good title on her whiteboard, raising her hand after Kirishima presented his name.

"Midnight-sensei, may I go next?"

"Of course!"

Hitomi held the whiteboard close to her as she walked up to the podium, feeling her nerves flare up as everyone awaited her name.

She held her whiteboard up, her face heating up as she presented her future title.

"Veiling Hero: Blue Moon."

Her classmates made sounds of approval as Midnight clapped her hands together in excitement. "How elegant! It even fits with how your eyes glow when you use your quirk!"

Hitomi let out a sigh of relief as she nodded. "That's what I was going for. An old friend of mine told me my eyes reminded her of the moon, which is a little fitting since she's the reason I wanted to be a hero in the first place."

"Oh, it even has sentimental value!" Midnight said. "Great job, Kanetsukabe!"

Hitomi beamed to herself as she took her seat, her other classmates proceeding to present their own names.


"Midoriya!" Midnight called. "Are you ready?"

"Uh, yes!"

Hitomi watched her friend walk up to the podium, presenting his name.

The entire class made noises of surprise, confused on his name choice.

"Are you really okay with that?" Kaminari asked.

"You might be called that forever, you know," Kirishima added.

Midoriya looked down at his whiteboard, a contemplative look on his face. "Yeah. I didn't like this name until now. But someone changed the meaning of it, and that had a huge impact on me. It made me really happy."

His cheeks turned a slight pink, Hitomi catching his glance towards a specific part of the classroom.

She followed his gaze, her eyes landing on a certain brunette.

Uraraka was beaming in her seat as Midoriya said "Deku" would be his hero name.

Hitomi smiled to herself, admiring the care and trust they seemed to have for each other.

It was sweet.


A/N: Are those more IzuOcha hints I see? OwO

Hitomi's got a fan!

If I'm being honest, even with the several chapters I already have prewritten, I have no idea where this story's going. I have everything planned up until the Hideout Raid Arc, but after that, I don't know what.

I feel like I should veer off into original story content, but I'm not sure how I'll do that. .-.
