Onto the Reviews!

curlyboy01: Yes, yes it was... but you know Tsu! she's to the point and blunt as all heck!

fallendemon248: Yep! been sitting on that one since the third chapter I'll be honest, as well as figure out that the introduction of OFA with the blessing would give Izuku the ability to Limit Break. As for the Vestiges... well... if you think about it, Fray is kind of a Vestige himself... and he's "ok" ;)

the metaphysical god of heroes: Tsu just channeling all the horny energy I think.

SuperShadic2002: Sadly, much like the classic tale of the Frog and the Scorpion, it's his nature to help those in need. ;)

Mr. X: Please see my reply at fallendemon for the response, as OFa was absorbed by the blessing.

Once again, thank you all for one year of reading this zany story, and hope to further entertain you all with what's coming up next!

Chapter 44

"I am..."

"Eh?"

That was the first thing to pass Izuku's lips after a lengthy bit of silence. Tsuyu was still straddling his hips while staring down at her boyfriend, being the ever-patient woman she was when it came to Izuku "rebooting" after she would speak her mind and be as blunt as ever.

Honestly, if she had not suggested the polyamory relationship in the first place, one would think the two would have been a wonderful, if not, perfect couple.

"I said, I want you to mate-" "No no, I-I heard you the first time, Tsu." Izuku blushed brightly as the frog girl kept staring down at him, a gentle ribbit escaping her lips as she shifted to get herself comfier from her current position on him.

That or she was teasing him but subtly grinding a little on him.

"I-it's just I don't think here is the best spot for that kind of activity, p-plus there may be security cameras o-or um…." Izuku was still heavily blushing, his eyes looking up and away from the still curious stare that Tsuyu was still giving him.

"Oh, I know, I didn't mean for us to mate right now, kero." The frog girl said as she slowly lifted her upper body up off of him, still straddling his hips. Izuku's eyes looked up towards the woman looming over him with her hands resting on his abs, and he couldn't help but stare at the way her arms had pushed up her chest as if to display her rather perky breasts up for him.

A soft ribbit brought his attention away from her chest back up to her eyes as Tsuyu could be seen with a ghost of a smile on her lips, something hard for anyone to see aside from Izuku, who was already used to the subtle facial expressions of his girlfriend, "It's nice to know that you find me attractive, Izuku."

The boy frowned at that statement, raising an eyebrow, and was about to speak before a slender finger was placed on his lips, "Let me finish kero… Admittedly, I wasn't the most popular girl growing up, given how my quirk mutated my looks as well as my blunt nature when I spoke. But ever since we met that first day of school, kero, even before you unlocked your 'Dragoon' kit, I knew you were someone special."

"Well," Izuku smiled up at her, his hands very slowly and timidly moving to rest on her legs and very gently began to run them up and down, "I told you before you stole my breath away when I first saw you, and even now, you still do."

Tsuyu croaked softly at that, her cheeks growing a little red as her fingers tensed on his abs, her legs squeezing his hips, and she ground herself against him a little, "You may not wish to compliment me so much at the moment, or else we will see how much these medical beds can withstand me riding you all night long, kero."

The frog girl watched her boyfriend's face explode into a giant red color that made him resemble a tomato at that remark. Tsuyu giggled gently, which of course sounded like tiny ribbits as she looked into his eyes, "Sorry about that, I can't exactly control myself from saying things similar to what I just said when I'm in the starting stages of my cycle."

Now, this brought Izuku out of his rather embarrassing state of mind, having imagined how Tsuyu would look bouncing up and down on top of him with a rather heated look on her face. Despite still sporting a deep blush across his cheeks, his analytical side began to overrule his 'lewd state', "S-stages?"

Tsuyu nodded, settling herself down and idly running her fingers up and down his abs as she began to speak, "Yes, every few months or so, I go into a 'heat', kero. Typically it's a month-long cycle, where the first two weeks are an 'easing' into the actual heat itself, where I get a little more irritable and clingy. By the third week, it's tough to control, and I would have to be kept away from the public for a week, and once that's finished, it's the 'cooldown' period."

"Honestly, that one week is often unbearable, especially back in High School when it hit full force during those three years. My parents had to renovate a room down in our basement so as not to disturb my siblings but also give myself privacy."

As Tsuyu continued her explanation, Izuku's mind was filled with various thoughts and questions about this phenomenon. While it's true he had never asked anyone with animal-like quirk's before, or their more "intimate" aspects due to it being none of his business, the way Tsuyu was describing her own experience correlated with some of his former schoolmates earlier in his life, especially during high school. He broke out of his train of thought, frowning while looking back up at Tsuyu.

"If you don't mind me asking, are you going to be living back at home during that third week?"

"No, Kero." Tsuyu said, and she shifted her body again, the tip of her tongue resting outside of her lips, "I spoke with Recovery Girl about this at the beginning of the year, and UA has accommodations for students and faculty with similar 'issues'."

Izuku blinked for a few moments before he realized that Hound Dog was one of the staff members that would fall under this category. Nodding his head gently, his hands traveled up to her hips and idly massaged them, not even realizing what he was doing as Tsuyu let out a heavy exhale of breath from his tender touches while she continued, "There is… another issue that is different from last time."

"Oh?"

"Before UA, I never dated anyone or felt like anything similar to how I feel about you with any of my peers. But now… kero." Tsuyu wiggled slightly on top of him, blushing slightly and looking down at his chest to try and hide the rising heat within her body.

Izuku's brow furrowed slowly before it finally dawned on him, his eyes going wide as he spoke softly, "It's because of me, isn't it?"

Tsuyu softly nodded, "During the previous cycles, I would just have an ache deep within me, kero, like a dull sort of pain. But now that I have you, my body will have that need for you, to be with you, and I don't know what will happen."

"Will you be in pain?" Izuku asked, his voice stern, but not that of anger, but concern. Tsuyu looked back up from her view of his chest, committing it to memory for now as her blank stare met with what was known by many within the classroom as Izuku's 'heroic' look. The expression he wore when he often was participating in hero classes, that same determined look that often made Tsuyu weak in the knees and caused her to very nearly jump him and give Eri a sibling.

"I-Izuku-" "Will you be in pain because of me?" He interrupted her, noting that this was the first time Tsuyu had stuttered like he would under normal circumstances. The look of sadness and gentle shrug of her shoulders was the only answer she could give him, however.

"I don't know, kero. Again, this is the first time I've been in a situation like this. I don't even know what my mental state will be like when it happens."

Now that knocked the serious look off of the green-haired boy's face, causing him to pale at the thoughts processing in his mind, "W-wait… doesn't that mean-"

"No." Tsuyu spoke with a severe tone of voice, "No, it will not mean 'that'. As I stated just now and since I climbed up onto you, I want you to mate with me, and it is my choice while my mind is still stable and sound. So, you have my permission to do whatever you wish to me should I be more… submissive."

"Likewise, if it's flipped and I become more dominant, I wish for your permission to have your body anyway I want." Tsuyu asked with a tilt of her head, watching Izuku's reaction as the teenager below her swallowed some air, a few beads of sweat following down the side of his head as the implications of what she was implying would happen.

Not that he was complaining, mind you, Momo was a little bit dominating during their time together, and the thought of the usually calm and collected Tsuyu to just… well, for the lack of a better term, 'go feral' on him caused a warmth to spread across his body. But, the thought of also trying to 'tame' her in such a state was equally as appealing.

'Huh, guess I'm a switch.'

"Tsuyu…" Izuku began to speak, causing the frog girl to jump at the soft voice he took saying her name. She looked down to see Izuku's ever bright and faint smile looking back at her, "You have my permission as well, with me being of sound and stable mind as well as I say this. But, I also want you to know that I trust you with my very being, and you won't intentionally harm me."

"Nor would you hurt me as well, kero." Tsuyu spoke gently as she leaned down to softly kiss Izuku, a tender one that was full of love as the frog girl gently rested on top of him, slowly breaking the kiss and placing her head comfortably on his chest, hearing his heartbeat that was beginning to lull her into a comforting sleep, "Kero… Izuku?"

"Hmm?"

"When the time comes, we really need to be careful, kero… My mom told me that during our heat cycles, it's easier for us to, kero, 'conceive'."

She could hear his heartbeat begin to pick up in speed, causing her to turn her head up and stare at his now wide-eyed expression, staring up at the ceiling. She could not get a read on what he was thinking, but she could hear his beating heart begin to slow down as he gently looked down towards her, their eyes catching one another as he softly smirked.

"W-Well, We will make sure that we take the precautions needed to make sure that doesn't happen… a-at least not yet." Izuku stammered that last bit, which caused Tsuyu's eyes to widen a little in shock to what he admitted, "A-And IF something does happen, b-because… hey… life like to throw curveballs at people at the most random of times, um… We will do what is best, not only for you but also o-our child."

"Kero, but what about what's best for you?"

"I know, and I would need to do the best for myself as well, but you will be the one to carry our baby… your needs and theirs are my priority." He smiled down at her, one of his hands gently rubbing her back, which caused her to shiver slightly from how gentle he was with her, "I'm already willing to give up being a pro hero for Eri, should the need to be a father to her take precedent." Izuku said with a clear, firm tone in his voice that caused Tsuyu's eyes to almost bulge out from what he just said, slowly raising her head off of his chest to see him better now.

"But, kero, that's your dream! You told us you wanted to be a hero since you were just a toddler."

"Yea, I know." Izuku said softly, his hand on her back, trying to calm her down, "But if I had to make a choice of either being a hero or being with Eri, our little unicorn always takes first place. Same with any of the children our group is going to have in the future… if I can't be a good father to them and protect them, then how could I possibly be a hero to anyone?"

All Tsuyu could do was stare into Izuku's eyes, gazing into them hard to try and see if any falsehoods or him going to try and downplay the fact he would so willingly give up his lifelong dream of becoming a pro hero, the one who would save everyone and make them feel safe with a smile.

But she saw none of it, only the pure emerald eyes of her boyfriend with that same determined look full of hope and, most of all, true to his words. Just before Izuku was about to ask if she was alright, Tsuyu's tongue suddenly shot out of her mouth and pushed itself past Izuku's lips before she slammed back down onto him, crashing her thin lips against his, wrapping her arms around his neck as the kiss got more passionate.

Izuku was, at first, taken aback by the rather sudden and out-of-character sort of maneuver by Tsuyu. But, it then reminded him of when he asked her out underneath the path lamp where she practically jumped him, and internally he was smiling as he began to kiss her back with just as much passion as she was giving him, his tongue trying to curl around her much larger one as the kiss deepened with both of his hands holding her body close to his as he slid his hands up and down her back.

They continued to kiss and hold one another like this for quite a while, so much so that eventually, when the pair broke the passion-filled kiss, they slowly let the embrace of slumber envelop them, with Izuku holding his froggy lover close to his body and as she was blissfully resting her head on his chest again, sound asleep as the last thing the green-haired boy said before passing out himself.

"I love you, Tsu."

"Alright, settle down." Aizawa spoke loudly as he walked towards the podium at the front of the classroom; everyone quickly settled down and stared up at him as the tired-looking teacher scanned the room, noting how tensed up some of the students were, considering the events of the previous day. However, his focus was mainly on Iida as the teenager had a sour yet stern look on his face.

It was no secret that the speedster was in a rather foul mood, given the current status of his older brother Tensei, known as the Pro Hero Ingenium... Well, former pro hero. To say that many of the alumni of UA were hit hard when the news of the attack went public, Mic and Nemuri, especially as the R18+ heroine had a bit of a fling with him back in their high school days but ended sadly due to the demand of the hero industry, though remained good friends since then.

Mic had been an inconsolable mess as Tensei was the first friend he had made at UA during their first year and introduced the engine user to Aizawa in their second year when the ever-tired Aizawa had made it to the hero course.

As for himself, Aizawa respected Tensei as both a man and a hero. They weren't exactly friends, not like he and Mic were, but they had both worked on several cases before where Ingenium would corral the villains into a dead end, only to be put down by Eraserhead. A number of his students that survived the first-day assessment test often got picked up by Tensei for internships or work placements, many of which had remained to this day as his sidekicks as they loved working for the man.

What truly set Tensei Iida apart from his other classmates was the fact that he helped both him and Mic during the times after they lost Oboro, another of their classmates that would often rope the other three into schemes that usually ended up with them in trouble with Nezu, though the dean often got a kick out of chaos the cloud user would bring. And right now, the look that Tenya was giving was all too familiar to Shouta.

After all, he had the same look when he contemplated going after Oboro's killer.

His eyes eventually moved past the blue-haired younger brother of his now crippled friend to land upon the problem child and his daughter, who had a smaller version of the desks for herself that apparently Nezu had prepared earlier in the day. He gently sighed softly as he walked away from the podium to stand before Eri, gently kneeling down in front of her as he spoke in a soft tone, "Now Eri, I'm sure your father has already explained all this beforehand, but to make sure… If you have any questions, what do you do?"

Eri first looked to Izuku, who smiled down at her as Eri turned her attention back towards the hobo-looking teacher and very gently raised her hand straight up. Aizawa nodded at her with his smirk hidden by his scarf as he could hear the coos of the other students from how adorable she was being, "Good job, Eri… now if you don't get called on, your father will explain it to you afterward, alright?"

The child softly nodded her head, putting down her arm and resting both her hands on her desk, which had a small open notebook and a bunch of crayons resting on the surface similar to how Momo seemed to have her pens, "Yes, Unca 'Zawa!"

'Well, I can't win them all, I guess.' Thought Aizawa, who nodded his head to Eri before giving a hard stare at Izuku, who merely flinched slightly before the stern gaze of his teacher left his vision as the dark clothed man walked back up to the podium once more.

"Now, a few things to announce before your first period begins. First off, Problem child, " the green-haired boy straightened his back as the moniker left his teacher's lips, "Explain what happened yesterday."

"Y-Yes sir," Izuku said as he stood up from his seat, all eyes gathered on him as Izuku cleared his throat, "W-Well, from what we were able to discover that because of the events that happened at the Sports Festival, my quirk… had an evolution of sorts."

"An evolution?" Kaminari asked with a raised eyebrow and puzzled look upon his face.

"Ah! I see!" Momo suddenly spoke up; despite knowing the true nature of Izuku's powers, she and the others that knew did have their part to play in trying to pass off his 'blessing' as a quirk, "It's uncommon, but sometimes under extreme circumstances, a person can push their quirk to their utmost limits or their quirk will mutate in such a way should the need arise."

"So, why didn't it happen when you were fighting that big monster robot thing?" Kirishima suddenly spoke up, looking at Izuku, who was chuckling nervously, rubbing the back of his head.

"W-well, one theory that Recovery Girl gave me was because of how it works. Basically, it's a slow build-up of my power during a fight, enough to the point that once I reach the limit, I can access it and use the stockpiled power as sort of a boost either to my own defenses or unleash a powerful attack."

"But wouldn't that leave you vulnerable? I remember that when you cast that powerful arcane spell yesterday, you passed out." Tokoyami spoke up now, his hand rubbing his lower beak like a person would with their chin.

"A-ah, y-yea that… We did some testing during the day with both Nezu and Recovery Girl close by, and I was only slightly winded after using it. And with only kits that wouldn't cause too much damage…."

"Hold on!" Kaminari suddenly spoke up, his eyes widened slightly, "Does it matter which one of those funky… um.. 'Kits'? Yeah! Kits! Does it matter which one you are in, and they change? Or do all of them do that … ugh… what was it called?"

"Vermillion Scourge was the name, Jammin' whey." Kyoka said with a smug smirk on her lips when Kaiminari turned his head towards her with a look of betrayal on his face. Whatever sort of revelry that was going to transpire next was suddenly halted when the red eyes of Aizawa flashed upon the rowdy classroom with his hair lifting into the air with the sort of menace that would typically freeze villains he was facing.

It was good that Eri was so focused on drawing in her notebook to not see such a sight or notice how silent it got.

Aizawa sighed heavily, deactivating his quirk, and looked towards Izuku with an expression for him to continue, which the green-haired boy swiftly nodded, "T-t answer the question, it depends on the kit… a-and the other theory was because of how late my quirk manifested… So, um, I haven't fully tested out every single one yet, but the dean did tell me they could be a "super move" of sorts for me."

"Have you figured out a name for it, kero?" asked Tsuyu, her finger on her chin and tilted her head in curiosity at Izuku, whose heart skipped a beat from how cute the frog girl was being, and doing it so obvious as well that Kyoka huffed gently while twirling her jacks to signify what Tsuyu was doing.

"Y-y-yes, The move is called 'Limit Break'... um… why it's called that is because I had to push past my own limits to just use the Vermillion Scourge."

"Plus, you did sorta call it out as well before those pillars of red happened," Kyoka remarked with a soft snicker that caused Izuku to sigh and chuckle, bowing his head as he slowly sat back down in his chair. Aizawa nodded as he hit a switch on the podium that caused the room to slightly darken and for a large screen to appear behind him on the whiteboard.

"Moving on, I will say that despite the first round being given to most of you." Aizawa spoke in his usual stern tone of voice as he leveled his gaze on Izuku once again, causing the green-haired boy to chuckle nervously and shrink down into his chair, "You all performed decently in the second and third rounds, so much so that no one in the class is going to lose their spot here in the heroics course."

Everyone sighed heavily in relief; many of those that hadn't made it to the third round were worried about being replaced; two of note were Tsuyu and Kyoka, considering the punk rocker hadn't even made it to the second round, while Tsuyu got eliminated afterward. Aizawa seeing his class relax caused his left eyebrow to visibly twitch as he cleared his throat to get their attention.

"It doesn't mean that you can slack off now, as I can easily replace any of you should you not take any of this seriously. And to make sure you understand that, I am letting you know that one of the students in Class 1-B has been replaced by one of the general education students."

As he finished speaking, Aizawa could feel the room's temperature drop several degrees, and underneath his scarf, the tired-looking teacher was smiling as his student's faces grew very pale and frightened. Even the more stoic Todoroki looked aghast and frightened at the very notion that they were told was true.

Even Tenya Iida, despite his mood, looked scared as hell.

"That being said, by showing not only the heroes that were able to make it to the actual event but those watching at home as well. Many of you also had made significant impressions on the general populace. So much so that we had an exorbitant amount of offers come in for the first year's alone this particular sports festival, though they aren't this normally skewed." Aizawa continued as he lifted a hand up with a small switch, pressing the button, and the screen behind him flickered to reveal a bar graph with most of the students' names listed vertically. Izuku blinked when he found his name near the very top with over 2721 at the end of his particular bar, second only to Todoroki's 3017 and just above Bakugo's 1783.

Aizawa then lifted a bunch of folders from behind his podium, grunting slightly due to how heavy a couple of them were, and began to walk around the classroom, handing them off to the corresponding student, "Just because your name isn't up on the board doesn't mean that you don't have any offers. UA has a list of local agencies that are always looking to take in interns."

"You'll have the rest of your homeroom to look through the offers, as well as your lunch break today; after that, it will be on your own time. You will have until Thursday to hand in your top three picks, each marked with the appropriate numbers. You will then be informed of the agency that you are going to by Saturday."

As some of the students had begun to open the folders and look at the offers given to them, Aizawa noticed the smallest of hands rising up beside the problem child, "Yes, Eri?"

"Um… Unca 'Zawa, don't I get one too?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing when Eri's voice was heard; slowly, twenty sets of eyes looked towards the teacher, who had stood still at the realization that he hadn't even thought of the small child when he initially put the folders together.

Just before he could say anything though, the class problem child came to his rescue, "Eri," Izuku's voice was calm as he was smiling down to the little girl looking up at her papa, "These are super important papers that we got from doing so well in the sports festival last week, remember how awesome I and my classmates were?"

The little girl nodded her head as she waited for her father to continue, "Well, we did all that because we wanted to show everyone how well we'd be as heroes and hopefully learn from them as well; they are called 'internships'."

"En-turn-ships?" Eri said cutely, a tilt of her head with her finger on her chin that seemed very familiar to another green-haired student. Izuku chuckled and gently pulled Eri onto his lap so she could correctly see the numerous papers he had on his desk already out.

"Pretty close there, sweety, but even though you don't have a folder yourself since you couldn't join in the festival, I am going to need your help!" Izuku said with a bright smile, causing his daughter to gasp.

"M-My help?"

"Mhmm, you see, I have SOOOO many of these offers that I cannot possibly choose, and I am going to need your help to do so!" Izuku said with a little bit of flair, something he had picked up from Yuga during the times they would hang out, and it would make Eri smile when the french boy acted as such. Admittedly, Izuku was a little embarrassed doing such a thing in front of his classmates and his girlfriend's, where he could hear the cute 'squees' coming from Mina.

Eri, however, looked shocked at what her papa had said before looking at the numerous papers before her. Now, she had only just begun to read, a lot of words still had given her trouble, but she was able to read most, if not all, of a picture book that her Mama Tsu had given to her, which was about a frog princess finding her prince.

Her ruby eyes looked back to Izuku, and with a determined look, she quickly nodded her head, making herself comfortable on his lap as both father and daughter began to go over the applications.

"NO! NO! LEAVE ME ALON-GHK!" a rather tubby man screamed before being knocked out by a dark gauntleted hand, collapsing onto the wet alleyway where he had been lured to by the armored teenager's companion.

"He's out cold Toga, you can come feast." The boy called out, grabbing the unconscious man by the collar and dragging him towards the wall where their prey was propped up. The pink-haired and eyed boy looked back to the trail to see that the overweight man's wallet and phone had fallen from his pockets.

As he walked over to the fallen items, Himiko Toga came skipping out of the shadows and made an exciting sound as she quickly used her knife to tear off the man's sleeve and made a cut along his arm to allow some blood to flow out, "YAAAY! Thank you so much, Deku-kins! I was getting super hungry!"

As the now identified man picked up the objects, the vampiric girl began to lick the wound she had caused, pulling back suddenly from the rather sour taste of his blood, "Ewwww, it tastes like onions and feet!"

"It doesn't surprise me," Deku said while walking back towards her, the old flip phone belonging to their victim, his expressionless eyes looking over the contents, "Seems this 'thing' likes to hunt young women and do horrible things to them. He's got pictures in here of his victims, and judging by some of the torn uniforms… they are pretty young."

Deku suddenly lunged towards Toga as he grabbed her wrist, holding back her knife from stabbing the man or slitting his throat. The young girl struggled against the knight's grip and began to smash her free fist against his chest plate, "No! Let me kill him, Deku! He's a bad man and should die for what he did."

"Himiko," the cold and stern voice of the taller teenager made Toga freeze on the spot. Over the last few days that they had been working together after she had found him in the alleyway far from where they were currently, they had formed a strange sort of friendship.

He rarely ate and apparently didn't need sleep, which led to Toga actually having a sort of guard watching over while she slept in one of the many abandoned buildings around the area without the fear of some random person either slitting her throat in the middle of the night or doing far worse things.

And the only thing she had to do was not kill anymore for her sustenance of blood, which was due to the quirk's need to consume it not only for activation but because of it being suppressed for so long by her old family and peers.

Because she had a "villain's" quirk.

At least, that was what she initially thought of it until Deku came into the picture. Basically hammering it into her brain that there were no such things as "villainous" quirks, only villainous people. So, since then, he had been helping her hunt, usually luring men and women alike who wished to have some 'fun' with the young woman, only to be taken down by her literal knight in dark armor.

The fact he looked so much like a negative copy of the beautiful boy who fought in the Sports Festival who was covered in blood was just an added bonus.

But Toga knew she had gone too far when she called her by her first name, as well as leveling a dark glare with his bright pink eyes that seemed to look deep into her soul.

"...Sorry, Deku-kins… I'm just really thirsty." Toga let go of the knife, letting it hit the pavement with a wet splash as the blond-haired girl looked away, pouting gently.

Deku merely took a deep sigh, releasing her hand as he reached back towards the hilt of the giant two-handed sword on his back, unsheathing it and placing the flat side of the blade against the man's wound. The spilled blood flowing from their victim's arm and the surrounding ground slowly began to be sucked into the sword, with odd runes beginning to glow along the flat side of the blade that both teenagers could see.

Toga's eyes widened in delight, knowing precisely what he was doing, and her smile began to widen with a heavy blush from across her cheeks. When she first saw him do this before, she was so mesmerized by it, it was so alien to her, yet ultimately the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. And letting her feed off of him once the ruby fluid was 'filtered' through his body and, what Deku called, 'aether'. Even the most foul-tasting of blood was so delicious to her that it was like drinking from the most expensive wine.

Within a matter of minutes, the floor and wound were cleaned of any of the blood, and the damage looked like an old sealed scar; Deku brought the sword onto his back to sheath it into its odd scabbard. Opening up the wallet, he pulled out about twenty-five thousand yen that their victim had on his person and tossed it onto the large man's belly, "Toga, could you see if there is something we can tie him up in? I'll call the police, and this asshole can rot in prison. Maybe he can be… what did you call it? 'Butt buddies' with one of the inmates."

"Or they'd kill him for what they did; even bad guys have standards." Toga chirped as she picked up her still bloody knife before skipping over towards the various trash cans for something to bind the monster they had caught while Deku had called the authorities.

After finding some discarded chains and locking the man to the closest dumpster with his phone open, and revealing a rather horrific scene, both teenagers made a quick dash away from the incoming sirens.

Once they were a reasonable distance away (Toga wondering how Deku could keep up with her in what looked like heavy-looking armor), The blonde-haired girl was panting gently, her hands on her knees while her messy buns looked even more messed up. She took a deep breath in and calmed down her heart before looking to her accomplice, "So, what's the plan, Deku-kins?"

The ebony-armored boy was silently counting the bills in his hand before doing some mental math and then looked to her, his still expressionless gaze meeting hers, "We should get you some food first, probably stop at a place that can serve you very rare steaks to get your thirst under control before you can feed later on. After that, we continue on towards Hosu, as you planned."

"To meet Stainy!" She squealed loudly, suddenly holding his arm against her body, with both of hers wrapped around it, and began to walk out of the alleyway they had fled to back out onto the street, many people giving them a wide berth due to the boy in strange armor and the giant 'fuck off' sword on his back.

Deku huffed gently, mostly ignoring the way the excitable girl was acting around him, "We shall see if the pattern you had worked out matches… after all.."

"Perhaps he will help me figure out what to do about my own 'issue'."

"Now, for today's heroics class, you are going to be choosing hero name's today for your upcoming internships." Aizawa droned out as he handed everyone in the class a small whiteboard with markers attached to the sides.

He made sure to grab an extra one for Eri.

"Now, take note that while these names aren't permanent, or something temporary for now. They can affect you later on in life, so much so that often the first name you choose will represent who you are, and if you choose a bad one-"

The door to the classroom suddenly swung open, revealing the smiling R18+ heroine, Midnight, "You'll be left with heck to pay!"

Several of the boys smiled widely when the often 'luscious' teacher began to strut in; however, they were a little perplexed as to why the teacher was wearing a relatively tame business outfit.

Sure, it was a short skirt with leggings and high heels to match, as well as a casual business jacket with a white blouse underneath it. Thankfully, Midnight's hairstyle was still as wild as ever.

As the heroine walked up to the podium, Aizawa had pulled his yellow sleeping bag from the bottom and began to walk towards the corner of the room, unzipping it and crawling into it, "Midnight has final approval on all hero names you come up with, she's actually decent at it and keeps up with current trends."

"Which is a good thing because you could have someone give you a name, and it sticks forever, isn't that right, Eraserhead?" Midnight said with a teasing wink, causing the man to grumble before rolling over on the ground to face away from the class.

The pro heroine clapped her hands together, getting everyone's attention once again, "Now class, I am sure that you all have such wonderful ideas for names, but keep in mind that it doesn't just have to sound nice for you, but also towards the public, especially little children." Midnight said with a smile, her gaze shifting to Eri, who smiled at the older woman and gave a tiny wave, which was returned with a bright smile and coo from Midnight.

As this interaction went down, the boys, confused about how Midnight was acting and dressed, realized it was because of Eri. And aside from one ball-headed student, the others felt like that was an excellent reason.

Time passed as many of the students had chosen their names, while some were outright bizarre, such as Yuga's hero name of "Can't stop Twinkling", or just outright rejected for numerous reasons like copyright or actually having the word 'murder' within their hero name. The last four students were still contemplating their own names.

"Now, we don't have all day, sadly, and if you cannot think up a hero name now, you can register your last name as a temporary holder." Midnight said as she crossed her arms underneath her impressive bust, forgoing the jacket an hour ago and was just wearing the long sleeve blouse now, though, from the way that her chest rested against her arms, it was easy to tell she was going braless.

Well, can't win them all.

"I got it!" Mina said, quickly scribbling on her whiteboard and making her way up to the podium. The pink-skinned girl smiled brightly as she lifted the board up and revealed the name of 'The Acidic Hero: Venus'.

"Oh! That is a lovely name, combining both the attributes of your quirk as well as your gorgeous looks and personality! Well done, Ashido! Approved!" Midnight cheered, as well as much of the class, causing the alien-looking girl to giggle with a blush of lilac across her cheeks. Mina would also note the reactions she got from her girlfriend's and boyfriend, looking at how pleased they were, especially Eri, who was smiling brightly at her.

Skipping back to her desk, Bakugo stomped his way up to the podium for what seemed like the seventeenth time that day and slammed the board against the surface, "Murder Explosion King!"

Midnight sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose, "For the last time Bakugo, No. If you can't figure one out now, then just put it off until you can think of one that doesn't include murder in the name."

Bakugo let out a rage-filled huff and stomped back towards his desk, grumbling along the way while a few of the others snickered at how many times he had tried and failed to get any of his hero names chosen. Midnight looked back to the class and cleared her throat, "Alright, well, we only have two more people to give us their hero names… Iida? Midoriya? Either of you ready?"

The class grew silent then, split between looking between the two that were last. Tenya was quiet for a moment, just staring down at his board, which had been written on and then wiped off just as quickly. With a heavy sigh, the blue-haired boy looked towards Midnight, "I'll… stick with Iida for now, Miss Midnight."

Seeing how distraught Tensei's younger brother was and knowing exactly why, Midnight gently nodded her head with a soft smile, "I understand, Iida." She then turned towards Izuku, who was still looking at a blank whiteboard, "Midoriya? How about you?"

The green-haired boy looked up for a moment, chuckling nervously, "Just... a couple of seconds still, sorry."

Now, it wasn't like Izuku wasn't thinking about his hero name at all during the class, and he had been enjoying the various ones that all of his classmates had come up with. His problem was that for the last fourteen years of planning to become a hero, there was one thing he had forgotten to do.

He forgot to figure out a name!

Alright, that wasn't entirely true. No, Izuku had thought of hero names while growing up, but they were all variations of All Might!

As Izuku was about to slam his head down onto the still clean board, a gentle tug on his sleeve caught his attention. Turning his head to the left, he looks at Eri holding up her own board towards him, "Whatcha got there, Eri?"

"It's a name I wrote down! I saw you were having trouble and wanted to help, Papa!" Eri replied while Izuku took the board, looking at the name and raising an eyebrow.

"Wow, Eri! This was written so well! But, what does it mean?"

The small child shrugged her shoulders, then gently tugged his sleeve again to whisper something into his ear. Izuku leaned down as he listened to what she had to say.

"The nice shining lady told me it was the best for you."

Izuku leaned back up, seeing the bright smile on Eri. He blinked for a few moments and gently nodded, getting out of his desk and walking up to the podium. Everyone in the class waited with bated breath as Izuku stood there, his emerald eyes gazing out to his classmates.

"Well, I'll be honest… It was tough for me to come up with my own hero name. Admittedly, it was the one thing I forgot to do while growing up." Izuku said with a mirth of a chuckle escaping his throat, which a few others in the class chuckled at.

"But, then I was saved once again by my little Unicorn, and she came up with a name that… resonated with me. I have no idea how she thought it up, but I just couldn't say no to it."

Izuku lifted the small whiteboard up, causing a few of the girls to gasp lightly, considering who came up with the name, while some of the others looked impressed by it.

Izuku smiled proudly, his fingers clenching the board as he spoke once again, "Thanks to my daughter, I now have a hero name."

"I am the 'Hero of Light: Azem'!"

Unbeknownst to Izuku, as he spoke that name aloud and proudly. An invisible wave, similar to that of a ripple on a still lake, rippled out from him. Only two people had picked up on the strange phenomena due to their ties to such a name.

One was Nezu, who was sipping his tea at the time when his little ears perked up once the ripple of power reached him.

The other was the dark-robed figure currently watching the progress of the still-forming Nomu within the giant tube of solution. He whirled around, and the usually smiling Ascian was enraged, snarling and baring his fangs out in the direction of where the ripple had happened initially.

The emerald cat-like eyes underneath the red mask were tiny slits with rage as he flexed his fingers, which cracked with how hard he was bending them.

For you see, Izuku was not aware of what he had done, nor would he learn of it for some time.

For the green-haired student hadn't realized that by speaking the ancient name given to him by his daughter, he had claimed something truly powerful that would rock the world of quirks forever.

The forgotten seat of the Convocation of Fourteen.

The seat of Azem.
