After a successful rescue, Peter and Twilight were on their way home. It was late and the two really wanted to call it a night.
Suddenly Peter's phone rang, the hero using his mask to answer and speak, "You got Spidey."
"Oh, you're still awake, I thought I would have to leave a message," Aizawa said.
"Huh? Aizawa? Is anything wrong? Are the students in trouble? How's Mayday?" Peter asked.
"Easy Spidey, everything's fine," Aizawa said. "Your daughter is safe and there's no emergencies."
"Oh, that's good," Peter said. "But something tells me you didn't call just to hear me read you a bedtime story."
"Well, even though your daughter isn't in danger, she is still the topic of this phone call," Aizawa said. "Just thought I'd let you know that she's been suspended from school."
"SHE'S WHAT!?" Peter shouted, startling Twilight.
"Peter, what's wrong?" Twilight asked. "Also keep your voice down, it's late and we don't want to wake up anyone."
"Mayday got suspended," Peter said.
"SHE WHAT!?" Twilight shouted.
"Now who's being too loud?" Peter sassed, shutting up the moment Twilight glared at him. "Anyway, what happened exactly?"
"She got into a fight with Midoriya and Bakugo," Aizawa said. "Both of them have been suspended as a result as well."
"Whoa, I understand Explosion Boy, but why Izuku?" Peter asked.
"I don't know, I didn't ask for details," Aizawa said. "If you want the story, talk to All Might, he basically allowed them to fight."
"All Might let them fight?" Peter asked, confusing Twilight. "Well alright, I'll talk to him about it then."
"Also, there is one thing that might be a concern," Aizawa said. "Your daughter mentioned feeling singled out. Something's clearly bothering her and it could be the reason for her behavior tonight, and possibly in general. It might be a good idea to get to the bottom of that."
"Uh, sure, thanks Eraser," Peter said, then hung up.
"So what's happening? Why was Mayday suspended? What's this about her fighting Izuku and Katsuki?" Twilight asked.
"I'll fill you in, lets hurry," Peter said, getting home.
The following morning, all sorts of mayhem was going on in the streets, a man named Jin Bubaigawara was out and about, business as usual. Seeing a robbery, crooks fighting for their place in the hierarchy, it was absolute mayhem. To him, it was just another day.
He sees a lot of crooks, all trying to climb to the top, but many are no match for the ones with stronger powers. Truth be told, Jin had little to no feelings regarding the matter, as even he doesn't know how to feel half the time, something he relays to the closest he has to a friend, that being the crime broker Giran.
This wasn't just any man, this was of course the villain Twice, one who had the ability to make clones of himself, and make clones of those clones, and so on and so forth.
While once using his clones to do his bidding, like a King ruling over his subjects, they eventually started to develop wills of their own and often fought and struggled to be the one true Jin.
He of course regained full control, but he never felt the same after that, and only found security in his mask.
He was currently on break from his League of Villains work, but never without alert to what goes on around him, and he eventually found something that piqued his interest.
He saw destruction emanating from an explosion, the only ones standing being a group of men wearing germ masks.
"Such filth..." the leader, Overhaul had muttered.
Twice wasn't sure what he found, but he knew that Shigaraki had to know about this, and fast. He thought to approach them but he could see pros about to fly in, something this gang themselves noticed and made their presence scarce.
Two such pros were Bobby Drake and Gohan, the duo arriving at the scene, and not feeling too pleasant at what they saw.
"This van belonged to those robbers," Bobby commented. "But now..."
"A pro wouldn't do this..." Gohan said, repulsed by the sight before him. "This isn't justice."
"Probably pissed off the wrong person," Bobby said. "Find Wolverine, he can pick up a scent."
"Got it," Gohan said, flying off.
Bobby heard something nearby and spotted Twice "Who are you? Wait, that costume, I feel like I've read a description about it." Twice immediately made a run for it, Bobby following in pursuit, "Hold up!"
He froze the villain in place, though before long, he seemingly melted, freaking Bobby out a moment.
"What the...is that a fake?" Bobby wondered, unaware that the real Twice had made his move to find Overhaul.
"Even my clone knew he was in over his head going after Iceman, gotta keep moving, if he spots me then I'm screwed," Twice continued running in pursuit of Overhaul.
The following morning, the students had found out about the fighting, needless to say, they were pretty surprised by the whole ordeal.
"Wait a minute, you three fought with each other!?" Mina asked.
"And now you're basically grounded?" Toru asked. "In addition to the suspension!?"
"Figure that out by yourselves did you?" Mayday said, as she grumpily used the vacuum on the rug. "Katsuki and I got four days, Izuku lucked out with three."
"You could have had only three too if you didn't annoy Mr. Aizawa so much," Izuku said.
"I got curious, can't blame me for that," Mayday said.
"I can't believe you three fought," Mina said. "I mean, maybe Parker since she was in a violent mood yesterday."
"Hey, here's a thought for you, how about you kindly shut the fuck up," Mayday said. "I'm still pretty pissed at the stunt you losers pulled yesterday."
"You brought that on yourself though!" Kaminari said.
"Guys, can you please not say anything to upset her," Izuku said. "Given what happened with the couch, I'd rather not have to end up repairing any walls."
"And I asked you all to lay off of Mayday," Flurry warned. "Keep it up and I'll tell Uncle Peter."
"Did you just threaten to snitch?" Jiro asked.
"Either I snitch or I let Mayday destroy you," Flurry said. "If not her, I know two other good friends who will do it for her."
"Can we not start," Tenya said. "No more fighting."
"Still, Uncle Peter and Aunt Twilight won't be happy about this Mayday," Flurry said.
"I'm aware of that," Mayday said. "Dad already called me this morning and gave me an earful. Better him than mom, she would have gone ballistic. But she's probably waiting to do that in person."
"I'm just glad they weren't expelled," Tsuyu said.
"Bakugo, what about that special course for our licenses?" Shoto asked.
"Oh shut up, it's none of your damn business," Bakugo said.
"I can't believe you guys actually fought though, how'd it start?" Kaminari asked. "Parker, did you start the fight?"
"No stupid! Katsuku started the fight, like I thought he would, then I jumped in to help Izuku!" Mayday said.
"So, you double teamed him?" Kaminari asked. "That's a bit unfair."
"No one double teamed me!" Bakugo said. "Deku and Parker fought each other too, mainly because Deku felt he needed to prove himself to her."
"Midoriya and Parker fought each other!?" Mineta asked. "And we missed it!?"
"You wanted to see them fight?" Kirishima asked.
"Wow, surprised you're the one asking that question," Mineta said. "Parker and Midoriya are two of the hardest hitting students in school, I always believed that if anyone can take Parker in a fight, it'd be Midoriya, and I wanted to see for myself."
"Oh right...good point," Kirishima said, awkwardly rubbing his head. "Somehow hearing that is a real bummer, puts Parker way out of my league, and I guess Midoriya too."
"You know, that's a good point, wonder if what's why Parker befriended Midoriya?" Kaminari theorized, Mayday's eye twitching. "After all, if he's the only one who can take her in a fight then it's smart of her to pick him as her ally."
"That's not why Izuku and I became friends, now can you losers take a hike already!? Don't you have some opening ceremony to attend!?" Mayday asked.
"Yes, a ceremony you three will miss because of your foolishness," Tenya said.
"We're really sorry to disappoint you," Izuku said.
"I'm not, I couldn't care less what any of you dickheads think," Bakugo said.
"Harsh dude," Kaminari said. "I mean, we actually sympathize with you, given how Parker's been treating you since the licensing exam."
"I don't need your damn sympathy! If Parker has a problem with me, she settles it with me and I handle it on my own!" Bakugo shouted, this reaction surprising his classmates. "The last thing I need is you bunch of weaklings thinking you need to speak up on my behalf! Annoying as Parker is, at least she has the balls to tell you losers off when you need to be."
Flurry scratched her head in confusion, "Katsuki, are you actually standing up for Mayday?"
"I'm not standing up for anyone, I'm just being honest," Bakugo said. "Look we got work to do, so kindly piss off!"
"Wait, hold on," Ochako said. "After the fight, did you at least make up in the end?"
"Uh...well, not in the way, I mean, it's hard to put into words," Izuku said.
"Oh, alright," Ochako said. "Well, I'll see you later then."
"Have fun with your chores," Flurry said.
"Real cute," Mayday said. "At least tell Frankie and Rina I said 'Hey'."
"Sure thing," Flurry said, making her exit with her classmates.
It wasn't long before they arrived near the school, Tenya giving orders as usual.
"Quickly, everyone neatly begin piling into lines," Tenya ordered. "Make your way for the grounds and don't screw up!"
"You're the one acting all 'screwy'," Sero said.
"I must, it is my burden as class representative," Tenya said.
"Wait, where's Mr. Aizawa?" Ochako asked. "Is he not attending either?"
"Things are a little different compared to the start of the new year," Oujiro said.
"Well, well, Class A," came the voice of Monama. "I heard that two of you failed the licensing exam! TWO OF YOU! LOSERS!"
"Not you again," Flurry said. "Don't you have anything better to do than antagonize others? I thought you were training to be a pro hero."
"Why should we even care what he has to say? Chances are he probably failed too since he was the only one at the remedial class," Kaminari said. "He gave us grief there too."
"He does seem like the projecting kind," Flurry said.
"So, tell us, did you actually fail?" Kirishima asked. Monama stared for a second, then burst out laughing, much to the annoyance of the class. "Is that a 'yes' or a 'no'!?"
"Actually, for your information..." Monama said, his smile etching as his class came into view. "Not a single one of us failed! The tables sure are turning Class A."
"Not this shit again..." Rina lamented.
Shoto looked away in distress, "Sorry, I brought shame onto all of you."
"Hey don't sweat it man, they're the ones getting all competitive about it," Kirishima said.
"Hi Frankie, hi Rina," Flurry greeted. "Glad you managed to pass."
"Sounds like you did too, awesome," Rina said.
"I'm glad you did," Franklin said, taking note of Tsuyu. "Oh Tsu, you passed too right?"
"I did," Tsuyu said, slightly blushing. "Thank you for asking."
"That's amazing. Now we're one step closer to being heroes," Franklin said, then took a look around. "Hey, where's Mayday?"
"She got suspended for getting into a fight," Flurry said.
"Whoa really!?" Rina asked. "Who'd she fight? I bet it was Katsuki Bakugo! That jackass had it coming for a long time!"
"You're partially right...but she fought Izuku too," Flurry said. "So all three of them are suspended, three days for Izuku and four for Mayday and Katsuki."
"Wait, she fought Izuku too?" Rina asked. "But, doesn't she have some massive crush on the nerd?"
That line got a nervous reaction out of Ochako while Flurry shook her head, "I mean, she cares for him, but it didn't seem to be much of a fight to me, more like they were sparring without permission. Things did get heated last night since Katsuki was fuming at not getting his license."
"So he's the second student who failed at the exam?" Franklin asked. "Honestly, I'm not surprised, I knew if someone were to fail, it'd be him. That guy's a waste of space."
"Come on, not you too man, we get enough of that from Parker," Kirishima said.
"Hey you can't deny how much of a scumbag he is, he's worse than Neito here," Franklin said, gesturing to Monama. "Well actually, both are pretty scummy."
"Watch your tone, traitor!" Monama warned.
"Call me a traitor one more time, and we'll see what happens!" Franklin warned.
"Enough, please," Kendo stepped between the two. "Franklin, Monama's just trying to annoy you. No one else in class sees you as a traitor, right everyone?" No one seemed to answer right away, much to Kendo's annoyance. "RIGHT EVERYONE!?"
Many of the class began muttering half-hearted agreements, to Rina's annoyance, "Ah put a sock in it, you losers. Once we graduate you don't have to worry about seeing me or Frankie again. He can go back to New York if he wants, meanwhile I'm going back to Canada."
"Geez, isn't there any foreigner here that isn't causing trouble?" Jiro asked in frustration.
That statement earned her a glare from Flurry. "Did you say something, Kyoka?"
"Uh, no, sorry, I was muttering to myself," Jiro quickly reassured. Of course things were a little tense at the moment, a few in the class nervously glancing towards Jiro, with Flurry still being a bit annoyed.
"Well...I should hope none of you were ganging up on Mayday again," Franklin said, tapping his head. "Or were you?"
"Stop reading our minds!" Kaminari said. "That's basically cheating!"
"I'm just saying, if any of you are giving Mayday a hard time..." Franklin gestured to Rina.
"You'll be sorry," Rina said, extending her psionic claws.
"Things are getting a bit tense, hopefully everyone's staying cool about this," Kirishima worried. "Last thing we need is another fight, Parker is tough enough by herself, with three friends, that might be a run for everyone's money."
"Oh, Class A!" Came the voice of Pony Tsunotori. "Our teacher Mr. Vlad said we're going to have classes together this semester, doesn't that sound fun? I'm looking forward to it?"
Kaminari whispered to Kirishima, "Hey it's that other exchange student, cute too."
"Oh yeah, the only one that isn't friends with Parker too," Kirishima said, unaware that Monama just whispered something into Pony's ear.
"Come near me and I'll pummel ya till yo' mama doesn't know ya!" Pony said, freaking everyone out and getting a laugh from Monama.
"I told you to stop teaching her weird things!" Kendo said as she karate chopped his neck.
"Seriously, that was such cringe," Rina said.
"Does that happen a lot?" Flurry asked.
"Yeah, compared to us, she has a massive language barrier problem, she's still learning how to translate English to Japanese," Rina said.
"Oh, I see," Flurry said, then focused her attention on the other girl. "Excuse me...um, wait what is-"
"Pony," Rina said. "Her name's Pony."
"Pony?" Flurry asked. "That's such a cute name!"
"Did you call me Crystal Girl?" Pony asked.
"My name's Flurry Heart, I'm a foreigner, like you," Flurry said. "So tell me, where are you from?"
"I'm from America, like the traitor Franklin Richards," Pony said.
Franklin glared at Monama, "Did you teach her to call me that!?"
"Everyone calls you that, Frankie," Monama taunted.
"Do NOT call me 'Frankie', only my friends can call me that!" Franklin warned.
"Funny, that's how I feel about people calling me 'Tsu'," Tsuyu empathized.
"Moving on...so you're America, what state are you from?" Flurry asked.
"I'm from Texas!" Pony said.
"Oh, Texas?" Flurry asked. "Well, that explains why I hear a bit of country in your voice. I don't think I've been to Texas. I've only been to New York, and Florida. Oh, and one time to California, me and my family visited Hollywood."
"That's really neat!" Pony said. "You seem like a nice girl. If you weren't in Class A! We could be friends!"
"Huh? What does me being in Class A have to do with being friends?" Flurry asked.
"I don't want to be a Traitor, so I stay with my own class," Pony said.
"Pony, being friends with someone from Class A doesn't make you a traitor," Kendo said.
"Kind of does," Monama said, earning another karate chop.
"Put a lid on it!" Kendo ordered.
Franklin shook his head in annoyance, then recalled one thing, "By the way, Flurry. When you see Mayday later, tell her I need to speak to her about something very important."
"Uh, sure thing Frankie," Flurry said, then noticed some more students. "Hey, isn't that Shinso?"
Franklin tensed a second, turning to see the same student who gave him grief at the Sports Festival, "It's him..."
"You're all in our way," Came the voice of Shinso, walking by with his General Studies team.
"Oh, our apologies!" Tenya said, then turned to his class. "Come on, let's not clog the hallways."
"I honestly can't believe how uncool you are," Shinso said.
Shinso passed by the students, Franklin and Rina in particular glaring at the boy in suspicion.
"Franklin, you had a run in with him during the Sports Festival, is that right?" Kendo asked.
"Yeah, he's got a really powerful quirk, controlling your thoughts the moment you respond to something he says," Franklin said. "I will say, even if it's not a flashy power for a hero, better than him using it as a villain."
"He even got Mayday, and she's got a tough shell to crack," Rina said.
"Would it have worked on Spider-Man?" Kendo asked.
"I doubt it, honestly I'd be surprised if he can get it working on my pops," Rina said. "But the potential is there, best to keep an eye on him."
Then came the assembly, all the students were gathered together in front of Nezu.
"Hello, it's me, your tiny beloved mammalian principal," Nezu began. "Lately the quality of my fur that I am so proud of has taken a turn for the worse. You see..."
Nezu began rambling about his fur for a while, much to the annoyance of all the students in attendance.
"This is boring," Rina said.
"Shh, a teacher might hear you," Franklin said.
"My lifestyle was thrown out of whack by a certain 'incident', the one that happened during summer break," Nezu said. "The loss of our Pillar, the effects of that manifested itself frighteningly fast. There may be great difficulties in our society moving forward. Those in the department of heroes might see striking effects. For those second and third years in the Hero Internships, it is much more important to have an awareness of this crisis and conduct yourselves accordingly."
"A hero internship?" Mina asked.
"Probably has to do with the Field Training we did before," Tsuyu theorized.
"I apologize for brooding the mood with such a heavy topic, but know that right now, adults are out doing the best they can to deal with it. I would like nothing more for you all to develop into individuals who will one day inherit their responsibilities. All of you from the UA Staff, to the General Department, the Department of Support of the Department of Heroes, do not forget you are the successors to this Society."
"A successor..." All Might recalled Nezu speaking to him about this some time back. "While I was searching for one, I did get the occasional request from UA. I wonder if..."
All Might looked to the crowd, spotting muscular boy with blonde hair, looking into the distance of the stage.
"Oh by the way, we have some comments from Mr. Hounddog for Lifestyle guidance," Nezu said, gesturing to a dog like creature.
"What the hell?" Rina commented. "This guy gives me Sabretooth vibes."
"Yesterday..." Hounddog began, then started angrily barking and bellowing, much to the confusion of the students, ending everything with a massive howl.
"Great speech!" Rina sarcastically commented, getting shushed by Flurry.
"You want to tick the teachers off!?" Flurry shouted.
"Ironically, you probably understood what he said," Franklin commented.
"Yeah, I totally did," Rina boasted.
Vlad King took to the stage to 'translate' what Hounddog had said, "While there has been behavior unbefitting of UA Students last night that resulted in a fight, please conduct yourself accordingly to the lifestyles expected of you."
"Does he forget human speech when he's angry or something?" Mineta wondered. "UA is still such a big mystery."
"They're really making examples out of Midoriya, Bakugo and Mayday Parker," Momo said.
"Kind of feel bad for Midoriya, he's gonna get lumped in with two troublemakers," Jiro said.
"What the hell did you call Mayday!?" Rina shouted, about to ready her claws.
"Rina, for the love of all that is holy, please don't make a scene in front of the entire school," Franklin said.
"You know what I don't get about you two?" Jiro said. "During the summer camp, you constantly hurled insults at each other, really aggressive ones too, yet you still act like you have this close comradery."
"It's how we show affection for each other," Rina said. "We're close enough that I can call her a 'bitch' or she could tell me to fuck off but we'd still love and value each other. Basically only we can mess with each other like that, just like only I can insult Frankie and Flurry, and they have that right to me. I just don't want it to hear it come out of anyone else's mouth! It's not your right to talk shit about my girl like that."
"That's true Friendship for ya," Kirishima commented. "For better or for worse."
"Now return to your classrooms, starting with the third years," Nezu said.
As the class was moving a girl was patting the blond guy's head excessively, "Hey, do you know who they were? Hey, the first years who got into a fight, do you know who they were? I heard they're from Class A! Were you there? Are you even listening to me!?"
"Interesting..." the blonde guy responded, keeping his thoughts to himself for the moment.
In the Class A Homeroom, Aizawa began to speak, "Today, we'll be resuming our normal classroom activities. I know you've all been through a lot but now is the time to renew yourselves, to reach your full potential. Today our activities will be limited to a classroom lecture, but there's a lot of hard training to come."
"So...is he not gonna say anything about what happened?" Mina whispered to Tsuyu.
"What was that, Ashido?" Aizawa said, getting a shiver from the pink girl.
"Mr. Aizawa, if I may ask," Tsuyu began. "Can you tell us more about the Internships that The Principal mentioned before?"
"Oh yeah, what is that about?" Sero asked.
"I myself am interested," Tokoyami said.
"Many of our upperclassmen seem to be involved in it as well," Momo said.
Aizawa began rubbing his head, thinking this situation over, "It's not something I intended to talk about now, but maybe it would be a good idea to explain it sooner rather than later. But the simplest answer is that they're off-campus hero activities, a much more formal version of your field training you did that week after The Sports Festival. It's the closest to actually doing hero work a student could have."
"Oh, so there's a system like that?" Ochako wondered, taking a moment to let it register before she started to freak out. "But then why did we work so hard at The Sports Festival!?"
"Way too loud, Ochako..." Flurry commented.
"Honestly, Uraraka has a point," Tenya said. "If we were gonna get these internships anyway, it wouldn't have mattered if we were scouted, we would have been given a chance regardless."
"Uraraka, dial it back a bit, you're acting nuts," Sato said.
"I'm just so confused!" Ochako said.
"The hero internships are an opportunity for you to make use of connections you made at The Sports Festival. They aren't linked to classes at all, more like they're done at the discretion of the students. That being said, if you made no such connections, it will be difficult to participate in such activities."
"That makes sense," Flurry said.
"In the past, each office would conduct their own recruiting efforts but it often caused trouble because they would fight over UA students," Aizawa said. "That's why it's the way it is now, so if that addresses your concerns, quiet down and be seated."
"Yes sir, sorry for jumping to conclusions," Ochako said, sitting back down.
"Because you all have your provisional licenses, you're able to do this long term," Aizawa said. "Truthfully, in the past, many first years did not earn their licenses. But with all the villains rising up, your participation has been encouraged. You will also be expected to right about your experiences, but I will explain that along with anything else you need to do another time."
"We look forward to that," Tenya said.
"I have somewhere to be, but I do want to address something really quickly," Aizawa said. "As students, I know it's not always easy to get along with your peers, and I am not expecting all of you to be best friends with each other. However, there are lines that I will draw."
"Here it comes," Mina said.
"Before you say it, no, this isn't about the fight last night," Aizawa said. "Like Hounddog said, just make sure you behave yourselves, because honestly I was being lenient with the punishment that Midoriya, Bakugo and Parker got."
"Hate to see what he would have done if he wasn't lenient," Sero thought to himself.
"Let me say this once, I want students to feel welcome here," Aizawa said. "If I haven't expelled you by now, that means I consider you of some worth, and I need you to consider other students of worth, especially some more than others. I understand certain students can be difficult but do not make the situation worse. I'm not happy with something I heard about last night and I suggest you all rethink your behaviors to prevent it from happening again."
"Is he talking about Mayday?" Ochako thought to herself.
"That's all, I have somewhere to be now," Aizawa said, then turned to the door. "Sorry for the delay Mic."
"It's cool, because now it's my time to shine!" Came Present Mic as he walked into the room. "Who's ready for English Lessons!? Let's crank it to the max!"
Meanwhile at his dorm, Izuku was seen using his weights as a way to continue his hero training even in suspension.
"The pain's nearly gone," Izuku continued pumping, remembering what he was once told. If not careful, he could permanently lose use of his arms. "Despite my efforts to hold back, seems like I still over did it a little. Not just from how aggressive Kacchan was, but just trying to land a decent blow on Mayday. I could tell she was holding back as much as she could but it's obvious there's a gap between me and her. I also need to restrain my emotions better, otherwise I lose control. Later I'll focus on my shoot style."
That evening, Mineta was seen checking some windows, smugly turning to one of the suspended students, "What's with the dust Bakugo?"
"That was Parker's job! Piss off dickwad!" Bakugo shouted. "Parker! Clean the damn windows!"
"Hey! Suspension or not, I'm not a maid," Mayday said, grabbing her duster and using it to quickly get rid of the dust as she turned to Mineta. "Happy now? You little shit."
"I don't suppose you could make me a sandwich," Mineta taunted, one that freaked out Kaminari.
"Sure, no problem," Mayday said, slamming her hands together. "Personally, I specialize in knuckle sandwiches."
"Uh...never mind, I'm not hungry!" Mineta said, running for his life, unsurprising to his electric friend.
"Isolation getting to you, Parker?" Kaminari asked.
"I have Izuku if I want company," Mayday said. "Plus it's only for a few hours a day, I can see my other friends later."
"Hey, I'm about to take the trash out of everyone's rooms now," Izuku said.
"Hurry up! That should have been done an hour ago!" Bakugo shouted.
"Geez Katsuki, you sound like my mother," Mayday said, walking over to Izuku. "I'll help you out with that buddy."
"Sure, thanks," Izuku said, grabbing the bags.
"Yo, about Mic's class today," Sato said to Kirishima, attracting the attention of the two kids.
"What? You too?" Kirishima asked.
"Never even heard that type of English Grammar before," Sato said. "I think even Flurry got stumped, and she natively speaks English."
"I swear, you stumble once and you lose control," Kirishima said.
"Stumble once huh?" Izuku muttered.
"He's just talking about English class, plus they're muscleheads, using their brains probably isn't their strong suit," Mayday said.
"Mayday..." Izuku scolded. He knew she was trying to ease his worries, but this was poor way of doing so.
"Hey about that Internship stuff," Jiro said. "None of us really made any connections, does that mean we can't do it?"
"Huh? You totally made connections, didn't you team up with Wolverine?" Toru asked.
"Well I didn't exactly trade phone numbers with him," Jiro said. "He probably doesn't even remember me."
"His daughter's a student here, talk to her," Oujiro said.
"Pretty sure she doesn't like me," Jiro said. "I mean I didn't have many nice things to say about her buddy."
"Well talk to Franklin Richards, he's much more reasonable," Oujiro said. "He was there right? He can probably vouch for you."
"Well he showed up afterwards helping the fire fighters," Jiro said. "Not sure how much it helps. He's not the friendliest to us either."
"Tsu can help, since Richards seems to have a soft spot for her," Oujiro said.
"Plus it's closer than either of us," Toru said. "Take a chance."
"I guess so," Jiro said.
"AM I REALLY THAT MUCH OUT OF THE LOOP!?" Izuku frantically wondered.
"Izuku, what's with you?" Mayday asked, trying to get him to snap out of it. "Look, I know things seem bad but three days out of three years can't really be that bad."
"Worried about falling behind!?" Tenya asked, getting the attention of the two. "That's what House Arrest does for you."
"Not now Tenya, you're gonna make Izuku even more nervous," Mayday said. "Anyway what's this about internships?"
"I was expressly forbidden from relaying information with you two or Bakugo," Tenya said. "Honestly I am really mad at all three of you so I am not eager to break that trust."
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Mayday asked. "How are we supposed to catch up then? What kind of teacher says, 'You're not allowed to learn'. It's just plain stupid!"
"You're getting your just desserts," Tenya said, then called to the third student. "Do you hear that Bakugo!?"
"Go fuck yourself, Four Eyes!" Bakugo shouted.
"Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll just make Flurry tell me later," Mayday said.
"She won't, I forbade her," Tenya said.
"Blood's thicker than water," Mayday said. "Plus, I have friends in Class B, you have no control over anything they do either."
"Mayday, please stop trying to antagonize Iida," Izuku said.
"He started it," Mayday insisted. "I thought he was my friend too."
"I do want to be your friend, but I have a responsibility," Tenya said. "As even your father would say, 'With Great Power-"
"Do not use my own father's mantra against me!" Mayday warned.
"Look, let's just get rid of the trash," Izuku said.
"Fine by me, I need some fresh air," Mayday said, about to leave.
"One thing I will tell you though, Mayday," Tenya said. "If you truly want to feel welcome here, you need to put in more effort. That means being nice for more than one day."
"I mean, I usually am but I suppose no one here gives a crap, since I'm not as 'cool' as Bakugo is to most of you," Mayday said.
"Mayday, please don't start with that," Izuku said.
"Hey, better out in the open than bottling it all up," Mayday said. "But I'll drop it for now. Not the last anyone's gonna hear of this."
"Unfortunately she's right, I still don't know the exact details, but something big must have happened," Izuku felt.
The two had left to do their chores, many in the room still feeling awkward.
"This is honestly a really crappy situation, things just feel so awkward around Parker now," Kirishima said.
"Well, we did kind of gang up on her," Toru said. "I know she's bratty but she does care about Midoriya, and she probably just gets overprotective."
"Well that overprotectiveness is just making things even harder on Midoriya," Jiro said. "But maybe if he was less of a pushover and actually stood his ground more then it'd be easier for Parker to shut her mouth."
"Midoriya's just a passive guy," Kirishima said. "I mean, much as I'd like to say something to Bakugo about his behavior, I don't think Midoriya wants anyone fighting his battles. He wants to handle things his own way, and honestly I fully respect that."
"Not sure if he's entirely like that. I mean he tries to tell Parker to back off and let him deal with it, but I think deep down he likes that she speaks up for him," Kaminari said.
"More like he's too intimidated by her," Jiro said. "Parker acts nice to Midoriya, but I wouldn't put it past her to manipulate his feelings either. Honestly she might have a thing for him too, and is doing her best to stay on his good side."
"I mean, to Midoriya's credit, he did put Mayday in her place a while back," Tenya said. "Kirishima, you were there too."
"Yeah, the only time Midoriya actually yelled at Parker, and the only time she looked scared," Kirishima said. "Their relationship is just so odd."
"How exactly did they meet?" Sato asked. "I mean, not only is Midoriya close with Parker, but he's also good buddies with Spider-Man too."
"I think he saved her life once," Jiro said. "When I was interning with Death Arms, he mentioned that the first day he saw Spider-Man in Japan after so many years, that his daughter was in danger, and some green haired boy rushed to try and save her. I think that's why Parker's so loyal, Midoriya actually tried to save her life."
"I've never heard of anything like this," Kaminari said. "Yo Mineta, has Flurry told you anything?"
"I think so, she mentioned that Midoriya met Mayday during a villain attack, but she said that Spider-Man ended up saving both, nothing really about Midoriya saving Parker," Mineta said.
"Maybe we should ask Flurry more details," Kaminari said. "Assuming Parker told her."
"We could also try to look it up online, maybe someone recorded it," Sato said. "It's a rescue that involved Spider-Man and All Might teaming up."
"We can do that later, but the problem now is Parker," Jiro said. "It's obvious that when Aizawa was talking to us about making others feel welcome, he was talking about Mayday."
"You think she told Aizawa?" Kaminari asked.
"She did snitch about the rescue plan for Bakugo, she probably did the same because we hurt her feelings," Kirishima said. "Seems like she's trying to be the nice girl for all the adults now, and playing the victim when we call her out for her crap. Now if we say anything, we risk Aizawa giving us a hard time."
"So much bullshit," Jiro said. "Seriously, Spider-Man's such a nice guy, how'd he end up with a bratty daughter?"
"Well that might be the problem," Kirishima said. "He seems too nice, chances are he probably spoiled her. He seems like the type of dad who while he means well, doesn't do the best job. I mean, he does put in an effort, but it seems like when he does get serious, she gives him that 'Daddy's Little Girl' act and he just backs down."
"Fathers tend to be weak for their daughters," Jiro said. "I can speak from experience, my dad's tough, or rather he acts tough, but he just loves giving me the world. I think the only reason I didn't end up bratty is because of my mom."
"Parker's mom seems strict though," Kaminari said.
"Yeah but even if she's hard on Parker, she just has to go back to her daddy and he makes her feel like a Princess again," Kirishima said.
"What's this about a Princess?" Flurry asked, coming downstairs.
"Uh...we're just discussing Princesses in...Equestria," Kaminari said. "The place you were born."
"Yeah, I know where I was born," Flurry said, raising her eyebrow in confusion. "Why the sudden interest?"
"Uh...well..." Kirishima tried thinking of something.
"I was telling them about your mom, and how she has her Princess job, then we wondered just how the Princesses are decided and the roles they play," Mineta said.
Flurry didn't seem like she fully believed him, the nervous look in his eyes did not help. "Fine...if that's what you were doing, then I guess it's good. But if any of you must know, Princesses are decided either by birthright, or by doing a great deed. In Equestrian Culture, we call the latter, 'Alicorn Princess', based of the creature of myth. A pony with Pegasus Wings, Earth Pony Strength and Unicorn Magic'."
"Right, that Fairy Tale stuff," Jiro said.
"I'm still learning about it, truthfully I don't even have a title," Flurry said. "Celestia is Princess of the Sun, Luna is Princess of the Moon, my mother Cadance is Princess of Love and my aunt Twilight Sparkle is Princess of Friendship. Right now, I'm not Princess of anything since I was the first one born as an Alicorn. Which is weird because I heard once that Celestia and Luna were but they did seem so surprised when I showed that type of magic as a newborn."
"Is that when you created winter or something?" Kaminari asked.
"Uh yeah, it was awkward to know that I caused a snowstorm that nearly destroyed my parents' Kingdom," Flurry admitted. "Still, the whole Alicorn thing still has a lot of mysteries surrounding it. To be told two different things is strange, but I guess that's one of the reasons Uncle Peter never really trusted Celestia and Luna."
"It must be quite awkward to not trust someone that your significant other looks up to," Tenya said.
"Yes, it's always awkward, that's why trust is very valuable, and why I should hope I can trust you all to be honest with me about your feelings," Flurry said, then cast a mean glare. "Especially when it comes to my family."
"Uh...family?" Kaminari asked.
"I'm not stupid, I know what you were all talking about," Flurry said. "If any of you have a problem with Mayday, talk it out, don't whine about it behind her back. Honestly this is the second time I've had to tell you all this."
"Sorry Flurry, we just didn't want to upset you as well," Kirishima said.
"Well, Kirishima, you're doing a very lousy job," Flurry said, about to make her leave. "Minoru..."
"Uh...yeah?" Mineta asked.
"I like you, I want you to be my friend, but if you try deceiving me like that again, I won't forgive you," Flurry said. "My advice, if you don't have anything honest to say, don't say anything at all. A lie by omission is better than full on dishonesty."
Flurry's departure left the class feeling awkward again. They would rather not make an enemy out of Flurry, something about upsetting one of the class's nicest girls felt upsetting.
"I'm just going to get some studying done," Jiro said.
"Right behind you," Toru said.
Mineta also looked a bit shaken up, he knew he shouldn't have lied to Flurry but he did want to try to help his classmates out. Unfortunately Flurry knew from the beginning.
"I should go talk to her, I don't want her mad at me," Mineta said, heading after Flurry.
"Man, so much for a good start to the new semester," Kaminari lamented.
Outside Izuku was bringing out the garbage, still lamenting his situation, "This suspension thing is really taking a toll, even our regular classes are suffering. Plus there's that Heroes fundamentals class tomorrow."
"Things happen, you gotta just accept life and move on," Mayday said.
"I'm just so worried about this though, Mayday," Izuku said. "At this rate there's gonna be a massive gap between us. We gotta try to catch up."
"We'll be fine," Mayday said. "I mean you got One for All and I'm Spider-Man's daughter. We're already set to make it big, if anything we're just giving our classmates a fair handicap."
"Mayday this isn't a joke," Izuku said. "If we don't try harder, we're not going to make it far as heroes. Every second counts and...hey are you even listening to me?"
"Uh, Izuku, behind you," Mayday said, freaked out by the sight of something.
"Behind me?" Izuku turned around and saw a teen male's face popping out of the wall, freaking the boy out.
"Taking out the trash huh?" the boy said, freaking the two out. "You know you can throw away the food trays with the burnable stuff."
"Uh...sure," Izuku said as the boy left. "That was weird."
"Yeah, my guess is that he has a phasing quirk similar to Shadowcat," Mayday said.
"Shadowcat?" Izuku asked. "That name sounds familiar."
"She's a member of the X-Men, and you call yourself a hero nerd," Mayday said.
"Kind of harsh," the boy said again, popping up from the ground and freaking the two out.
"Hey weirdo! Cut the shit out!" Mayday shouted.
"Sorry to bother you, but you're two of the excitable first years, right?" the boy said. "Then again, should I be sorry for bothering you? I mean you both did a bad thing after all."
"Who are you to judge us!?" Mayday shouted.
"I guess I shouldn't judge," the boy said. "Well what's important is that you two keep your spirits up, there are rumors about you after all."
"What rumors!?" Mayday asked as the boy left. "Hey! Where'd you go!?"
"I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..." Izuku said.
"Whatever, so long as he doesn't pull that crap again," Mayday said.
"Yo! Mayday! Deku!" Came the voice of Rina, the girl walking over with Franklin.
"Hey Rina, Frankie," Mayday greeted.
"Hello," Izuku greeted as well.
"Good to see you two here," Rina said. "Trash duty?"
"Yeah, part of our punishment," Mayday said. "Not sure if you know what happened."
"We know, it was alluded to during the assembly today," Rina said. "Plus Flurry filled us in."
"I honestly can't believe you got into a fight," Franklin said. "Scratch that, I can believe it, I'm just surprised you actually did so."
"I did it to protect Izuku from Katsuki," Mayday said. "If bad publicity stopped anyone in my family then my dad would have quit the moment Jameson published his first faulty headline."
"Well I can't fault you," Rina said. "Frankie here won't either."
"I mean, I will fault you to an extent, you still broke the rules," Franklin said. "But yeah, Bakugo probably had it coming."
"At least we fought it out, so in a way, things are a bit more chill between us, for now at least," Mayday said. "Even Izuku felt a bit better after the fight."
"I did, until we got placed under house arrest," Izuku lamented. "It's only been one day and I'm already falling behind."
"Izuku, my dad fell behind a lot in his life and he turned out just fine," Mayday said. "He could barely get through college, not from lack of intelligence, but he was just so damn busy, not just from being a hero but taking care of me and mom. Plus it's just school, anything we miss we can learn on our own. Everything my dad learned about anything he did was from experience."
"I don't think my dad even went to a proper school, and he turned out just fine," Rina said. "Izuku, you just gota keep training, that's all. Use this time to get stronger and when you get back, you'll wow everyone."
"I hope you're right," Izuku said, making his leave. "I gotta take this trash out, let's hurry Mayday."
"Oh wait, we do have something to tell her, it's kind of important," Rina said.
"Fine, Mayday hand me your garbage, I'll take that too," Izuku said.
"Huh? No it's fine," Mayday said.
"Just let me," Izuku said, grabbing the bag. "This is a good chance for you to catch up, I'll cover for you in the meantime."
"Uh, thanks Izuku..." Mayday said as the boy went to do his assigned duty.
"That's nice of him to cover for you," Franklin said.
"Trash wasn't even my duty, I was trying to help him out," Mayday said.
"It's like I always believed, there's something about that boy that makes you so…generous and stuff," Rina said. "What I'd give to know just how you feel."
"Pfft, no mystery to me, I can just...AUGH!" Franklin shouted, freaking out.
"Huh? What just happened?" Rina asked.
"Ugh, Mayday, why would you imagine my Aunt Rainbow Dash with busty boobs and a skimpy bikini?" Franklin shouted in annoyance.
"Be lucky I kept it tame," Mayday said. "Peak into my mind again and next time I'll use your mom as a mental image, without the bikini!"
"Oh God..." Franklin lamented.
"Ha, good one," Rina said. "But for real, you do seem to really like Deku. You were close to him during summer camp, you were protective of him during Katsuki's rescue, even now you seem so glued to his side."
"Is it so weird? He's a nice boy and I like spending time with him," Mayday said.
"You're enamored, I can practically smell the pheromones you're giving off," Rina said. "You have the hots for him, you're practically in love with that kid."
"So what if I am?" Mayday asked. "He's a nice boy, he's very caring, he thinks about others, and when he wants to be, he can show off a fiery passion for what he does. He knows when to take charge of a situation, like a real man would."
"Huh, didn't expect you to be so honest, I expected a little pushback," Rina said. "You weren't even this passionate when you had a crush on Franklin, and you've known him longer."
"Yeah, what makes Izuku Midoriya so special? You've known him for like a year, barely even," Franklin said. "You met him once last year after he tried to rescue you, then only saw him a couple of times before the entrance exam, where you saw him once more. Then come April, you two regularly attended classes, and it's September now. So honestly, it barely counts as a year since you spent most of it apart and only spent like five months in school together. Did you two really bond that closely in that time?"
"You act like it's so unusual," Mayday said. "Lots of people develop crushes early on."
"Yeah, crushes, not love, there's a difference," Franklin said. "It took a while before my parents could love each other in a meaningful way that led to their marriage."
"Isn't that because your dad was like way older than your mom or something?" Rina asked.
"What? No! That's not how it...ugh! I hate when people say it like that," Franklin said. "Also, Rina, your dad's like two hundred years older than your mom, you're in no position to talk."
"To be fair, my mom met my dad when she was at least eighteen, so she was already an adult," Rina said.
"My point is, Mayday, it's way too soon to say you're in love with Izuku, you still don't know him well enough," Franklin said. "I mean, do you know what his favorite hobby is?"
"Yeah, he likes analyzing superheroes," Mayday said.
"Well what else does he do? What's his favorite food? What movies and shows does he like? What music does he follow?" Franklin asked. "You don't need to be an expert but you should still know more about Izuku."
"Frankie's got a point, I mean at least go on a date with him first before you confess your love," Rina said.
Mayday awkwardly turned away, "Let's say I already told him that I had feelings for him, what could happen?"
"Mayday, if you did that, then that's really the wrong way to go about it," Franklin said. "I mean this isn't some fantasy movie where the girl confesses her undying love and they live Happily Ever After. Especially before the first date."
"Actually, here in Japan, it's actually common for girls to declare that they love a guy before moving on to that guy," Rina said. "The girl needs to confess her feelings and he decides to take her in or not."
"Huh? That's kind of harsh, I mean if the girl does that and she gets turned down, it's just gonna break her heart," Franklin said.
"Heartbreaks are inevitable, even if this was the US or Canada, you don't have to confess to feel heartbroken if you know it's not gonna happen," Rina said. "It's just culture here in Japan."
"So, technically I did the right thing, I confessed that I loved him and it should all work out," Mayday said.
"Oh no, you still goofed up," Rina said, deflating Mayday's hopes. "To Frankie's point, you haven't known him long enough, it's too soon for you to be confessing your feelings."
"But if I didn't, someone else might have," Mayday said. "I've seen how Ochako looks at Izuku, I am not losing to that girl."
"Ochako's known Izuku for less time, if she tried confessing it would result in the same awkwardness," Rina said. "But I get what you mean, having competition like that can mess with you a little."
"So what should I do then? Just act like my confession was one big joke?" Mayday asked.
"Not exactly, just clear the air," Rina said. "Confessing too soon doesn't just risk making him feel awkward, it adds pressure. You gotta alleviate the pressure somehow, do that and he'll feel less awkward and it might let him form his own opinion easier."
"I really hope you're right about all this," Mayday said. "I mean, neither of you are actual experts."
"Hey take our advice or don't, just ask yourself, do you want to risk making him feel awkward and pressured?" Franklin asked. "Try doing things the American way, hang out with him first, go on a date. I mean, you two do interact outside of class, don't you?"
"Sort of, it's usually in a group setting, not always one on one," Mayday said. "Honestly I don't always know what to say, or if I should say anything. The guy is supposed to take the lead after all."
"From what my mom told me, dad didn't take much initiative with her either, so she had to gently nudge and encourage him," Rina said. "Do that for Deku, little things that boost his confidence."
"Sounds easier said that done," Mayday said.
"You know, just try to imagine things from your parents' perspective," Franklin said. "I mean, how did they get together?"
"Honestly, they never go into too much detail, just something about my mom nurturing his affection until he had the confidence to return it," Twilight said.
"Deku isn't too different from your dad, just do what your mom would do," Rina said. "Might help you out."
"Why do you like Izuku, if I may ask?" Franklin asked. "Is it only because he saved your life? Or tried to?"
"Ugh, you too? Gohan just asked me that yesterday and it ticked me off," Mayday said. "While yes, I am very grateful that Izuku risked his life for me, it's not the main reason I like him. At first I just thought he was a nice boy, really cute too. But overtime, I could see just how strong of a person he was, always ready to fight for others, even if they don't deserve it. He's got that fierce determination, to not let anything stand in his way, but all that aside, he's a gentle soul who more than anything just liked seeing his friends smile. A boy that's strong against world, but soft only for me, a boy who's hand hardens into a fist to strike injustice, but softens into a gentle stroke of affection just for me. That is why I want Izuku, he's the man of my fantasies."
"Wow...that's kind of poetic," Rina said. "I don't even have anything that deep yet."
"I don't think I can get that deep," Franklin said.
"At least you have a crush, speaking of which, when are you gonna ask Tsu out?" Rina said.
"I'm working on it, I'd like to find a good place to go," Franklin said. "Now you got me wondering if I should wait for her to confess to me."
"Hey, you're American, your way works too," Rina said.
"I can put a good word in for you Frankie, Tsu's actually becoming something of a friend of mine," Mayday said. "She's a real sweetheart, though I should be careful, Izuku might notice that too, then I have more competition."
"If I were him, I'd pick Tsuyu," Rina said. "The things she could probably do with that tongue."
"Rina!" Franklin shouted in annoyance.
"Like you haven't fantasized about that," Rina said.
"Funny, and weird as this is, you two had a reason for coming, didn't you?" Mayday asked.
"Oh yeah...question, are you familiar with a girl named Ally Dillion?" Franklin asked.
"Uh, should I be?" Mayday asked, scratching her head. "I did go to Midtown High for a bit before transferring here, maybe she's someone I met there."
"Her suit had electric designs," Franklin said. "Also, doesn't the name Dillion ring a bell?"
"Electric designs, Dillion..." Mayday scratched her head a moment before remembering. "Right, I think I do know her. Sometime before moving here I ran into her outside of Midtown High, she said my dad and her dad have crossed paths. Ally's father is Max Dillion. She's the daughter of Electro!"
"She was also at the Provisional Exam building where Rina and I were," Franklin said. "She specifically mentioned you, she says 'Hello'."
"Why would Electro's daughter be trying to get a Hero License?" Mayday wondered. "I mean, I know he retired as a villain but, would his daughter actually try to become a hero?"
"Wish I could have read her mind," Franklin said. "I was just too in awe."
"I mean, if she knew you, then she might know you could read minds, and put up a mental image like Mayday did earlier," Rina said. "Assuming you can read the mind of an electric user."
"Regardless, try running this by your dad," Franklin said.
"Yeah sure," Mayday said, looking to Izuku's direction. "I gotta go check up on him."
"Rina and I are gonna catch you later, tell Flurry we said 'hi'," Franklin said.
"Sure," Mayday said, looking to Izuku and thinking things over. "Gotta figure out what to do regarding Izuku. I mean, I think I like him, his presence makes my heart pound, and I feel so happy around him. I desperately want to kiss him, more than that, I want him in body and soul. Wow…maybe I am getting carried away, but I just can't help myself. I don't want to lose out on a special boy like that. But, that has to wait, I gotta figure out this Ally Dillion thing, gotta run it by my dad."
Meanwhile upstairs, Mineta had knocked on the door of his Princess friend, "Flurry? It's me?"
"What is it?" Flurry asked, clearly still annoyed.
"Hey, I'm sorry for upsetting you, can I come in?" Mineta asked.
After a few seconds, footsteps could be heard coming to the door, Flurry opening it, but only a small crack, "Minoru, we've been over this. While I appreciate you wanting to apologize, it's not just the lie that bothered me, you're all being mean to Mayday. I know she's a pest but she's still my cousin."
"I know, and I will lay off her," Mineta said. "But, I can't promise anyone else would."
"You're not in control of their actions, but you are in control of your own," Flurry said. "But, I shouldn't be too mad, you were just trying to look out for your friends."
"You're my friend too though, and you're special to me," Mineta said. "If you want me to, I can try to speak up for Mayday. It might be hard since I know she doesn't like me, and I probably don't do much to make her like me."
"Don't worry about it," Flurry said, opening the door wider, then kneeling to hug Mineta. "Thanks for being so thoughtful though.
Mineta was quick to huge her back, a huge blush on her face, "She feels so soft."
Flurry pulled away, but not before planting a kiss on Mineta's forehead, "I have work to do, I'll see you later."
"You got it," Mineta said as Flurry went back inside. "At least I got that handled. Still, I hate seeing her unhappy, I really need to be careful how I go about things, otherwise I might not be so lucky. Maybe Tsu has some tips, plus given that she's actually friends with Mayday, she might want to know about how heated things are, especially with Midoriya caught up in all this too."
Mineta made his way to Tsu's room, ready to figure out ways to further assist his friend's cousin with her current dilemma.
Three days later, one day ahead of Bakugo and Mayday, Izuku had finally returned to class.
"I am free of my suspension! I apologize for any inconvenience!" Izuku said, diligently marching into the classroom.
"Yay! Izuku! You're back!" Flurry cheered. "We really missed you!"
"Thank you for your hard labor, Deku," Ochako said.
"Why do you seem so out of breath, you alright there Midoriya?" Jiro asked.
"I'm fine," Izuku said, then turned to Tenya. "And Iida! I am sorry for disappointing you!"
"Oh um, that's fine, so long as you understood your mistakes," Tenya said.
"I have, and I will bridge the gap between us from the last three days!" Izuku declared. "That is my main goal!"
"Sweet! Rock on with that attitude!" Kirishima encouraged.
"Well, now that Midoriya's returned, let's formally talk about internships," Aizawa said, then turned to the door. "You three, come inside."
"Huh?" Izuku said as the door opened, the boy looking on in surprise at the trio that entered.
"We will hear firsthand from students with personal experience about the differences between the internships and the work studies," Aizawa said as the three students made their way further inside. "They made time out of their busy schedules to see you, so please pay attention to what they have to say.
"No...way!" Izuku said, mesmerized by the sudden appearance of the three, including the blond boy he fully started to recognize.
"These three rank at the top among all third years," Aizawa concluded, gesturing to the trio standing at the center of the class. "They're known as UA's Big Three."
