It didn't take long for Izuku to be cleared by the medics who arrived on the scene. He had been correct that the cut wouldn't need stitches, so it was cleaned and bandaged. Midnight oversaw the villains, keeping them out while they were given initial treatment before being transported to the security wing at a nearby hospital. The responding Police, on the other hand, seemed a bit more upset with how the villains were dealt with by a student; the media were quick to respond to the scene as well.

Mic had him give a statement so the Police could log the event; the officer seemed to be trying to make an issue of taking Izuku back to the station for formal questioning. Izuku smiled at how Present Mic shut the officer down, noting that he and Midnight were the responding heroes and would handle the investigation themselves.

Mic turned and signaled for a security staff member to come over, "Security will escort you back to campus, little listener; they will take your statement, Recovery Girl will give you a once over, and then you will return to your dorms. I don't think you will be allowed to leave campus tomorrow, so sorry if you had any plans."

"Reiko will not be happy," Izuku said. "I will message her later."

Izuku was taken back to campus, where he was met by Recovery Girl, who gave him a quick exam and cleared him to talk with Security. He was led to the security office, where a young man was about 5'10 with light brown hair, blue eyes, and a moderate build. Garbed in his hero gear was a simple pair of black boots and pants with a dark blue top and black half mask hanging around his neck.

"Mr. Midoriya, my name is Power Bomb, and I will take your statement," Powerbomb said. "Before that, I know that Recovery Girl has cleared you medically. Do you need anything to drink or eat?"

"A Coke would be nice," Izuku responded.

"Good, we are going to head on into this room. Would you like me to contact anyone from legal or have someone come sit with you while you give your statement?" Powerbomb said.

"No I am good," Izuku said.

"I will go grab that Coke, so please have a seat," Power Bomb walked off; he wasn't gone long when he returned with a Coke bottle for Izuku. Izuku had almost expected the room to be similar to an interrogation room, but it was a friendly office with many baseball memorabilia as decorations.

Power Bomb had him go over the incident from when he got off the train up to and through the attack. After that, he asked if Izuku had noticed anything out of the ordinary earlier in the day, and Izuku told him about the comments he had heard on his way to see Kyoka. Izuku liked Power Bomb. He was thorough and asked good questions about when Izuku decided to use his sword and why he made that decision at that time and not earlier.

"There will be some follow-up, but that is all for the night. Are you sure you are not hungry?" Power Bomb said.

"No sir," Izuku replied.

"Then I will escort you back to your dorms; for the time being, you are not going to be allowed to leave campus as we investigate this attack," Power Bomb said as they walked to his dorm. "If you need to leave campus, arrangements can be made, but a member of the Security Staff will have to accompany you."

"Understandable; thank you for escorting me to my dorm," Izuku bowed and walked inside. Izuku had barely made it into his room, pulled his phone from his pocket, and wondered how it had been set to silent but, more importantly, why there were 17 missed calls and 43 texts!. The pounding on his door made him jump; he whirled around, his sword flashing to his hand.

"Izuku, are you home!" Pony said nearly frantically.

"Maybe you are hearing things," Hiryu said.

"No, I heard his door," Pony replied. "Yes, Reiko, I am knocking."

Izuku opened the door quickly; he watched as a massive flash of relief washed over his friend's face. "Reiko, he is home; his arm is bandaged!" Pony said quickly as she dived into his arms. Izuku stumbled back a bit. "Why did you not answer your phone? We were so worried about you!" Pony said, smacking him on the chest. "Oh, sorry, your hurt is bad!"

"Sorry, somehow my phone got put on silent," Izuku said, chuckling; a glare from Pony told him that she was not amused. "What is going on?"

"What do you mean what is going on?" Hiryu said. "It was reported how you were attacked outside the school by three unknown villains." Hiryu pulled up his phone to show Izuku the "Breaking Report" on THNN, Total Hero News Network.Quirkless U.A Student Attacked While Off Campus!

"Oh, that," Izuku said.

"Yes, that!" Pony said. She looked like she was about to smack him again, but she stopped, and then Izuku's phone lit up.

The caller I.D. read Kyoka.

"I will message the class that you are home and safe," Hiryu said. "You should probably answer that."

"Hello, Kyoka. I am fine; it's just a cut on the arm. No, nothing bad at all. It didn't even require stitches. Emergency Services cleared me and Recovery Girl. It somehow got put on silent. I can't leave campus while they are investigating. It was some of the villains from the USJ." Pony and Hiryu froze. "They were in the plaza with Vlad and Aizawa. It was an ambush. They were waiting for me. Me too. Okay, I will see you tomorrow. Reiko is calling, and Momo is. I love you too."

"Reiko. But. Yes, they cleared me…but…but…okay, see you soon. Reiko is on her way," Izuku said, sounding slightly worried.

He then called Momo, where he recounted his encounter; Pony and Hiryu listened as he gave more details, and the call ended with him saying he would see her the next day.

Hiryu shook his head and laughed, "Having multiple girlfriends seems like fun till they are all worried about you simultaneously. No, it is not an option."

Izuku was about to answer when his phone lit up again; they heard him repeat the story to Neito. "It is not a terrible problem to have," he sighed when his phone pulled his attention again. Pony seemed to be getting impatient.

"Give me a moment," Izuku said. "Hello, Inka…"

"Let me get some details, and I will leave him to you," Hiryu told Pony. Pony smiled and thanked him. After Hiryu was satisfied, he left the two alone.

Pony sighed and hugged him, "I was scared when you didn't answer; the reports said you were injured and not that you were dead or in critical condition, so that was comforting, but different reports had different injuries."

"Sorry about that, Pony," Izuku hugged her tight.

Pony examined his arm and kissed the bandage before she kissed him tenderly. "Are you truly okay, my love?"

"I am Pony, I swear," Izuku said, sitting on the bed. "More annoyed about being attacked and that it was obviously an ambush is upsetting. Those villains were locked up, but someone sprang them and sent them after me."

"That has me worried as well," Pony sat next to him and rested her head gently on his shoulder, avoiding poking him with her horns. "They knew you were off campus and alone. But like fools, they underestimated how strong my love is."

Pony pulled him down to the bed with her as she held him close and rested her head on his chest. "I would be worried if any of our class or friends were attacked like this, but knowing it was you…"

Izuku heard Pony sniffle against his chest, "I get it. It's okay, Pony. I am okay. I promise." Izuku held her as she cried against his chest. Once she got it out of her system, she excused herself to get cleaned up, and Izuku felt his stomach rumble. He looked at the clock. It had been several hours since he ate with Kyoka, then the attack, reports, and everything else. He pushed off the bed and went to the fridge as thoughts of Pony's BBQ from the night before filled his head, then thoughts of after the BBQ filled his head.

When Pony emerged, she noticed him looking over at her and then at her body. Pony smiled, sauntered over, and gave him a deep kiss. "Hoping for a fog machine and a little dance, my love?"

Izuku blushed and scratched his cheek, "A little, but also looking forward to your BBQ after you got up, I realized I am pretty damn hungry. You said you could make this better with a smoker? What does that mean?"

Pony smiled, "A smoker is a special type of grill. You burn wood primarily, and you cook the meat from the indirect heat of the fire, and the smoke from the wood helps to flavor the meat. Let me tell you, it puts this here," she pointed to the leftovers. "To shame."

Izuku's mouth watered some, "Well, I hope to try some one day."

"I already told my momma they are sending one from Texas along with meat, spices, and such," Pony said with a grin. "Once you eat that, I will not be able to keep your hands off of me, not that I would mind."

Izuku grabbed her by the hips, pulled them tight, and kissed her deeply. "I already have that problem after last night." Pony giggled. "How did you learn to do this?"

"My daddy," Pony replied. "Also, BBQ is like a religion in Texas. You get indoctrinated young. Once you are in, you never get out."

"Well, I look forward to that baptism," Izuku chuckled, turning to the sound of his ready food.

Pony was washing the dishes when Reiko arrived. "I will leave her to fuss over you in private," Pony said, drying her hands. "I am glad you are safe, Izuku," Pony kissed him lightly and patted his chest. "Take good care of him now, Reiko."

"I will, Pony. Thank you for allowing me this time," Reiko bowed.

Izuku and Reiko

Reiko stood there dressed in a fitted black sweater, a midnight blue skirt, a headband, and knee-high socks, with a large bag over her shoulder.

Once the door closed, Reiko looked Izuku over critically; she placed her bag on the counter and walked over, looking at the bandage on his arm. "My mighty warrior," Reiko whispered. Izuku felt his breath hitch when she looked at him through her hair. She looked so stunning. "I was in such a state, not knowing what had happened to you. I must confess that when I messaged you goodnight and did not respond, I was slightly annoyed, but when the news broke, my annoyance turned to fear."

"Reiko…" Izuku began to say.

"I knew from the reports that you were not killed, but you were injured. There was no clear report on the severity of your injury; my mind began to race. It was an uncomfortable feeling," Reiko said. "Once I knew you were home and safe, one thought was on my mind: I need to be with you."

"I think I would have been in the same state if this had happened to you, Reiko," Izuku replied.

"Now that I have laid eyes on you and held you in my arms, I cannot think of anything else but you," Reiko leaned up and very tenderly kissed Izuku. "I was waiting anxiously for you to come to me tomorrow; I had planned to show you what you mean to me. I would like to show you now," Reiko paused. "If that is okay."

Izuku gulped and nodded his head. When their lips touched, his mind drifted to the infirmary and the fire he felt when they kissed. He had not been sure what that feeling was beyond overwhelming desire, but it was crystal clear after last night. Izuku heard the door lock, but Reiko had not moved; she reached down, grabbed the hem of his shirt, and began lifting it very slowly. Izuku raised his arms with her quirk, and his shirt came off.

Reiko Gets Hers

Reiko pulled him down in a kiss that deepened by the second, and the fire that had enflamed them began to roar to life. He was pressed against the counters, and her hands slipped down, undoing his pants. Izuku kicked them off as his hand slid underneath her sweater and up her back; Reiko moaned into their kiss before she broke from his lips and started to kiss his neck. Izuku moaned into the room as she worked to his chest, her tongue tracing the muscle lines of his pecks, then lower to his abs. Reiko worked back up to his lips again; fire roared as she leaped into his arms; he kicked his pants away and carried them to the bed.

At first, Reiko was on her back, Izuku's hand tracing up her thighs to hips; he felt the barest hint of underwear. She rolled her hips against his hard cock, straining against his underwear. She rolled him onto his back, sat up, and pulled the sweater up and away, revealing a silvery white lace bra. Reiko bit her lip, looking down at his underwear; she leaned down and kissed him as she pulled them down and away. Reiko moaned as Izuku kissed and nibbled on her neck, his hands up her skirt, kneading her ass. "Oh yes," she moaned. She pulled away, kissing down his chest, taking a moment to tease his nipples before working lower and lower till she was face to face with his hard cock.

"My fantasies do not compare," Reiko whispered as she looked up at him, stroking his cock lightly his cock by her cheek. She turned and gave it a light kiss that made Izuku shutter. A few more kisses followed by a long lick. "I have found myself desiring to pleasure you in such a way. To worship you," Reiko's voice was a bit deeper, so sensual that it made Izuku shudder in anticipation. Reiko began again with long licks up the shaft of his cock; before she got to the tip, she kissed it, then her mouth parted, and she began to take it into her mouth.

Reiko worked the shaft with one hand as she worked on taking Izuku deeper; hearing his moans and calls of her name gave her confidence and enthusiasm that she was doing it right. Her free hand slipped between her legs to lightly tease her already wet pussy. Izuku's head had been thrown back, his eyes closed in the pleasure of Reiko sucking his cock. When he looked down, he was met with her piercing gaze as she took his cock deeper and deeper. She managed to get it about half of the way before it was too much for her; she then focused on moving her head up and down, working and sucking, hoping to bring him to orgasm.

"Reiko, I…" Izuku moaned out.

Reiko sucked harder; she popped his cock from her mouth, "You can cum in my mouth; I want you to," Reiko said before plunging his cock back into her mouth. It didn't take long after that before she got her wish. The first shot surprised her as it hit her throat, then more came flooding out. Reiko tried to drink it, but some leaked from the corners of her mouth before she could find the rhythm. She felt satisfied that his cock barely softened when she popped it free. Rieko stood on the bed, unfastening her skirt and revealing the matching lace thong. Reiko let out a gasp as Izuku sat up and pushed her thong to the side, and began to lick her pussy.

Reiko moaned, grabbing his head as he devoured her; the display of passion and vigor was just another part of her fantasy. He pulled her down to the bed, her straddling his face as he continued to explore her sex, licking and sucking her clit, plunging his tongue inside of her. Reiko's hips rocked involuntarily as he did so; she was holding onto his head and fucking his face lost in pleasure, her moans and cries feeling the room. The build-up reached rapid levels, her body tensing and quivering as she thought it was about to explode; she was nearly begging for her release, shaking in anticipation, calling for him. Then it came, the flood of a pleasure she had never felt more ripped through her, "Izuku!" she screamed, her body shaking; she fell forward, grabbing the headboard, bucking against his face as she rode out the orgasm. As it finally allowed her to focus, she used her quirk to remove her bra and slid down his body.

She was stopped when he found her bare breasts sucking and teasing them, but then she grabbed his cock and lined it up with her aching pussy. "Protection," Izuku managed to moan in a moment of clarity. "I don't…"

"I am on birth control," Reiko moaned. "I want nothing between us, my darling; I want to fill your seed splash inside of me, to mark me forever as yours."

"Oh fuck," Izuku moaned.

Reiko began to push him in; they both moaned and gasped at the sensation. The feeling of a bare pussy taking him in was even more intense than his first experience; Reiko kept taking him in deeper.

"Feel how you are stretching me out to fit you," Reiko moaned; he was right at her hymen; Reiko bit her lip and pushed him through. Her eyes watered slightly from the stinging sensation. "Now I am yours," Reiko moaned. Reiko pushed him till he was fully inside. "You feel so big inside of me."

"Reiko," Izuku moaned. "It is so tight, so warm, I may cum."

"I don't care, cum as much as you want Izuku. I told you, mark me as yours," Reiko moaned back, moving her hips lightly. She had expected there to be more pain, but there wasn't what there was, though it was a sense of pleasure that banished any sort of hesitation in her mind. Reiko rose up more and pushed him back in.

"Reiko!" Izuku called out.

Reiko pushed herself up; she had watched a video or two, it was a bit clumsy at first, but soon, she found a rhythm that worked for her as she rode Izuku's cock. Then he grabbed her hips, pulling her down to him, raising her hips to meet hers. She cried out in pleasure, calling his name so as not to stop. Reiko was on her back, legs open, begging him to not stop.

Izuku was tired of holding back, but hearing her moans and how she moved, he lost himself. Now, she was on her back begging for more, and he lost himself. His body tensed, he called her name, her legs wrapped around his waist, hitting him inside of her. "Inside," Reiko called out. "I told you inside."

"Fuck," Izuku managed to say as he came inside of Reiko. Reiko felt it, felt him release inside of her. She rolled her hips, desperately hoping to milk more from him, and then it just came out of nowhere. She orgasmed, her nails dug into his back as she managed to scream in pleasure.

Izuku sat up, looking down at Reiko, whose body was covered in a thin sweat. The look of orgasmic bliss. "I love you."

Reiko smiled and pushed her hair away from her face. "And I you," Reiko responded. Pulling him down into a kiss. When she felt him begin to harden again inside of her. "More Izuku. Ravage me. I want to feel your desire," she kissed him deeply. "You fire," she kissed him again. "Do you feel how wet you have made, how hot I am for you? Please, Izuku, take me, conquer me."

Izuku was breathing hard; he wanted her again, but now, she unlocked her legs as he pulled back before plunging himself deep into her. Reiko grabbed the sheets and called out in pleasure. "YES! Don't hold back; give it to me!"

With That, Izuku was undone; the sounds of the body coming together were intermingled with calls and moans of pleasure. Reiko was lost in lust and desire as another orgasm tore through her, but he didn't stop; just as she wanted, he was ravaging her. She was on her side, one leg over his shoulder as he kept fucking her; it felt even deeper; she couldn't focus but could only beg for more. When he found his release, she whimpered, begging him for more.

Izuku rolled her onto her stomach, lifted his hips, and began to take her from behind. "Oh, the lords, yes," Reiko cried out. "Fuck me like a beast! It is so deep and harder, Izuku, please. Oh, my yes. Yes, my darling, just like that. Don't stop. Please, Izuku, don't stop. I want…oh god…oh yes."

Another orgasm, her arms gave out, and they fell flat onto the bed, but he didn't stop. Reiko was screaming into the bed, trying to push back. She felt him cum, but he didn't stop. Everything was blurring; she couldn't tell where one orgasm stopped and the next began. All she knew was that she was getting everything she wanted. Her eyes nearly rolled into the back of her head when he came the final time. Izuku fell to the side of her; they were drenched in sweat, her pussy was drenched in his cum, and she could feel it leaking out. Reiko couldn't' move if she had wanted to.

"I love you," she whispered. As sleep claimed her.

When they finally awoke naked on the bed, the morning light was already streaming through the window. Reiko smiled as she sat up, looking over her shoulder at Izuku. "I believe a shower is in order. Would you care to join me? I could use some assistance in washing my back."

Reiko Got Hers and so Did Izuku

Morning Light

Reiko, at least to Izuku's mind, rose from the bed and sauntered to the bathroom like a goddess; he quickly scrambled after her. In the act of getting clean and then getting dirty again, they were in the shower for over an hour before they emerged and got dressed.

Izuku's phone was blowing up with messages from the class wanting to check on him; thankfully, he was able to respond in the group text instead of a bunch of individual texts; what surprised him was there was even a text from Kirishima.

Kirishima:I got your number from Mina. I know you are okay, but there is no way some villains got the better of you; I wanted to make sure either way.

Izuku:I am fine; it's just a small cut. No stitches are needed.

Kirishima: Good.

"If you see to the bedding, I will tend to breakfast," Reiko said, kissing his cheek and blushing some, there was some evidence of her deflowering as well as their carnal activity present.

Izuku smiled and got to work stripping the sheets and carrying them to the laundry; when he returned, he opened the window to allow some fresh air and set about remaking the bed. They were both rather hungry and enjoyed a large breakfast and some alone time, just making small talk, basking in the afterglow and this little bit of domestic bliss. It wasn't long before Kyoka and Momo arrived.

Izuku felt a bit self-conscious being fussed over by them simultaneously. While Reiko was in the room, it was strange to be kissing Kyoka and Momo.

"When did you arrive, Reiko?" Kyoka asked while Momo was redressing Izuku's bandage.

"Last night," Reiko said, blushing around her tea cup. "I couldn't keep away. My mind was running away with me."

Kyoka smiled, noticed the clean, fresh sheets, and just gave Rieko a smirk. "I understand, but my parents wouldn't have let me come last night. But thankfully, I was able to catch a ride with Momo."

"How was your evening?" Kyoka leaned forward and whispered with a teasing smile.

"Memorable," Reiko smirked. "Very memorable."

Pony and Hiryu soon joined them; things were a bit crowded in Izuku's dorm room, so they moved to the common room in the dorm area. The area was quiet as there weren't very many students housed there, and two, most would congregate in their rooms due to that fact. It was large and spacious, with a large U-shaped sectional couch and television.

They were all talking when Izuku looked at his phone and excused himself; he walked out in front of the building to find Toru and Neito, along with Mina, Togaru, Setsuna, and Niren. He had just greeted them when he heard his name being called. He looked down the walkway and saw the rest of 1-B coming up carrying bags of drinks and snacks.

Toru hugged him quickly, "We all just wanted to check on you."

"Yeah," Neito said, hugging him. "You can't get up to hero shit all by yourself and not expect this."

"Hero shit," Izuku replied as he hugged them back. He directed everyone where to go. Once everyone was together, Izuku recounted his encounter yet again.

"Troubling is not the right word," Niren said, breaking the silence for the class.

"No fucking kidding," Togaru added.

"Language!" Ibarra said reflexively, earning the girl a small laugh and blush. "Even with the colorful language, Togaru is correct. Someone with a lot of power and influence got 3 villains from the USJ released and had them target our classmate; the question is, why."

"The only reason that makes any sense is that he is quirkless," Momo said as she took Izuku's hand. "They waited until he was alone and out in the open. I am sure that if we all think about it, there are times when we were all in a similar position, yet we were not attacked."

"I can't fault that logic," Setsuna said. "Izuku gave that fiery speech then not only advanced to the podium in the third round of the sports festival. While some people will embrace him as an underdog and a symbol of hope or what you can do if you put in the hard work."

"Others are going to go the Bakugo route, feel threatened and made because he is upsetting the status quo," Mina added. "It is bull crap either way."

"Is this going to affect your internship?" Kinoko asked.

"I hope not, but I am sure it will play some sort of a factor. I mean, how could it not?" Izuku shrugged. "I doubt I was going to be swimming in offers anyway."

"Now and probably even before, you were going to have to be careful about who you choose to intern with," Awase said as he sat down with a brownie.

"How so?" Pony wondered.

"Some heroes may have sent him an offer, hoping or trying to fail him," Kyoka said. "Now, with the attachment, who knows?"

"I hate ignorant people," Pony said through clenched teeth.

"While I am loath to say I hate anyone, those that are ignorant or racist are very close to earning that title from me," Ibarra said, to the group's surprise. "What? God says I must love my neighbor, but he doesn't say I must be nice to people like that." The group broke out laughing.

"Look, let's not keep talking about this," Izuku said. "You all came to check on me. We have snacks. Let's put on some music and have fun. Tomorrow, we can worry about internships and conspiracies. I want to relax and have fun with my friends!"

"Hell yeah!" Mina said, jumping up. "I got this killer playlist I have been dying to share!"

"Well, hit it, girl. Let's get this place rocking!" Set called out.

The gathering lasted until dusk, when it was time for the class to return home, as school was the next day. Izuku was treated by his girlfriends, who lingered a bit longer as Momo ordered them dinner. They all share a meal with Hiryu, who tries to run away, only for Pony and Izuku to drag him back.

"You don't get to run and hide, my friend," Izuku said, his arm around Hiryu's shoulder.

"I didn't want to intrude on your time," Hiryu protested.

"It is just dinner; while I appreciate you trying to give me that space, if it wasn't for you and Pony, this spark of hope and dreaming of a life more than just graduating to rub it in the face of the world would not even have had a spark," Izuku said. "You are just as important. You had my back since day one, and I plan on having your back till the end of days."

"As I will you, my friend," Hiryu smiled. "Now you are going to have to tell me how you managed to find four girlfriends and not get killed by them in the process."

"My friend, if I knew I could sell it to the world and retire a rich man," Izuku laughed. "I heard a saying once,"Finding someone who loves you for who you are is the luckiest feeling in the world."I have found four. I don't try to rationalize it, I just worry one day they will all realize how insane this is and walk away. So I want to work hard that they never do."

"That is something worth working hard for, my friend," Hiryu said. "I may not be much help, but whatever you need, I am here for you."

"Thank you. Now come on in, and let's relax and eat," Izuku said.

After dinner, Izuku walked Momo, Kyoka, and Reiko downstairs to where Momo had a car waiting for them. It was embarrassing kissing each of them, but it left him feeling warm and floating before he returned to his room and found Pony waiting. Hiryu said his goodnights and left the two of them alone.

"I wanted to ask if I can sleep here tonight?" Pony said, blushing. "I would like to wake in your arms."

"I would like that very much, Pony," Izuku said. "Today was very nice; I can't think of a much better way for it to end than falling asleep with you in my arms."

Pony smiled, "Good, I will grab my things, and then we can take a shower…together." Pony blushed as she skipped to her room to gather her things. Izuku smiled despite the attack, saying he wouldn't trade this weekend for any other.

Monday

Izuku woke with Pony in his arms; years of waking up to go work out had him trained to get up, but with the feeling of her in his arms, snuggled in close for the first time in his life, he closed his eyes and fell back asleep, inhaling her scent.

Pony's alarm stirred them both; after a few tries, she reached out and could silence the alarm before she snuggled in his embrace. When she felt him begin to move, she protested for about 5 more minutes. Izuku gave her ten. It was a little dance with the two of them getting ready simultaneously. Pony had to comb her hair, and she was happy that Izuku saw them for breakfast.

They emerged about the same time as Hiryu who gave them a smirk but said nothing about them coming out of the same room, and they began walking to class. They were getting more looks than normal, especially Izuku with his performance during the Sports Festival and the news of the attack having made its rounds. After all, he was the only quirkless student at the university.

When they entered the class, they noticed an extra desk, 21 seats in total. Everyone speculated about what it could mean beyond the fact that someone was about to join their class.

Then the bell rang, and, like clockwork, stepped Vlad King, "Good Morning, class," he paused as they returned his greeting. "I had hoped for a quiet weekend, but as you are all aware, one of our own was attacked outside. I was extremely pleased when campus security told me that my entire class had come to school on a Sunday to visit and check on their classmate. I am very proud of each of you for taking that initiative."

"Today, we are going to be going over your internship offers as a result of the Sports Festival, as well as choosing your hero names for a soft debut," Vlad said. "Midnight will be by later to help with that. But before we cover any of that, we will welcome a new student to our class; she will also be moving into the dorms, so Pony, Hiryu, and Izuku, please do what you can to make her feel welcome. You may enter."

The door opened, and in bounded a girl with fair skin and a light blush had a strikingly pretty face. Her inward-tilting yellow eyes featured thin, slit-like irises that resembled those of a cat. She had a wide mouth with a feline quality, showcasing pointed canines longer than her other teeth, giving her a vampiric appearance. Her hair, a pale ash-blonde, was styled into two messy buns, with many wild strands sticking out. A straight fringe and chin-length side bangs framed her face beautifully.

"Class, this is Himiko Toga, and she will join us as our 21st student," Vlad said. "Please introduce yourself."

"Wow, everyone looks so nice!" Toga exclaimed. "Well my name is Himiko Toga, I have a blood quirk." Himiko expected to see looks of disgust but saw nothing. "I love the taste of blood!" Again, she expected disgust, but she saw curiosity. "I like talking about love and hope we can all get along!"

"Please take your seat," Vlad said as Toga gave him a jaunty salute and skipped to her seat. Vlad smiled as the lights dimmed and the Holo projector sprang to life.

"How is it that Izuku got zero offers!" Neito yelled slamming his hand on the desk and the rest of the class erupted in anger, Himiko just smiled. She had been in the U.A. and had watched the festival herself, and this quirkless boy fought his way forward. He was even cuter in person.

Vlad held his hand to silence the class, "Mr. Midoriya did not receive zero offers but all his offers are being reviewed and screened before they are submitted for him to review."

"How many did he receive?" Reiko asked.

"1,932," Vlad said to the class, calmed visibly, and they looked at Izuku, who just smiled. "A strong message, a strong showing, and a dash of Hope can change things." Vlad paused as the lights came up. "Change is hard; change is scary. People and society don't like change. You are taking away what makes them comfortable, challenging what they believe. This weekend proves that people will go to extraordinary lengths to stop change. While the rest of the class will begin reviewing their offers, Ms. Toga, I would like you to begin working on this work packet. Mr. Midoriya, will you be so kind as to assist her. If you have questions, I will be available."

Izuku smiled as Neito offered to trade seats with him so he could sit next to Himiko. "Hello Toga," Izuku said.

"You can call me Himiko or Himi," Himko giggled, pulling out the packet. "You really quirkless?"

"You really drink blood?" Izuku said.

"Yeah, I love the taste; it is so good!" Himiko wiggled in her seat. "Does that gross you out? Am I disgusting? A villain?" Himiko's expression seemed playful, but her eyes told a different story.

"I bet you have to for your quirk and diet," Izuku said. "Telling you that it was gross or disgusting would be blaming you for something you had no say in. Like me being quirkless. A quirk doesn't make you a villain; your actions do."

"What if I told you I did bad things? Hurt people, just so I could have blood," Himiko said, her cheek resting on her hand.

"Are you planning on hurting people to get their blood now?" Izuku responded.

"No, they give me all the blood I want," Himiko giggled. "But I have hurt people."

"I bet you were shunned or forbidden to drink blood," Izuku said. Himiko raised an eyebrow and nodded. "I bet that drove you mad, being denied something your body needed, needed to survive. You tried to be good, but something happened, and you snapped."

"I couldn't hold back," Himiko whispered, looking at him.

"It wasn't your fault," Izuku said. "You have a second chance, something many people wouldn't get. What you do with that second chance will determine if you are a villain or can be something more. I want to help you."

"What if helping me is you giving me your blood?" Himiko leaned in.

"I can live with that," Izuku said, not batting an eye. "I am sure I wouldn't be the only one in class that would be willing to help."

"Why help?" Himiko pressed.

"Everyone needs help, I needed help to make it to the U.A., and I will need help again, I am sure," Izuku said. "So I will help you, and when the time comes, I am sure you will help me."

"I can live with that," Himiko said, opening the workbook. "Now, tell me about this math problem."

At lunch, 1-B found out they weren't the only ones to receive some new students. Toru and Mina introduced them to Suijin Yamada, a girl with midnight blue hair and striking blue eyes, and a tall girl with Mediterranean skin, black hair, and purple eyes named Aisha Belka.

Aisha smiled and bid everyone hello before turning to Himiko, "How is your class treating you?"

"Good Aisha, yours?" Himiko responded, hugging the girl.

"You two know each other?" Itsuka asked.

"We ran around in the same circles out on the streets sometimes," Aisha answered. "When that mouse came and offered her a chance to come to U.A., he did the same for me. Someone has to keep an eye on this one anyway."

"We wanted to invite the girls from 1-B to join us for lunch," Mina said. "Trying to help the new girls feel comfortable and get adjusted."

"Sounds good," Setsuna said as the girls joined, leaving the boys from 1-A sitting with boys from 1-B.

"You don't look like you get beat up," Eijiro said as Izuku sat down.

"Nothing major," Izuku said. Eijiro stood up, causing the table to all stop and look at him.

"Look, I was a dick, no better way to put it. I don't think we will be best friends, but I want you to know that I have your back out there," Eijiro said, bowing. "I had my head up my ass, it may still be up there, but I am trying to pull it out."

"That works for me," Izuku said, standing up; he extended his hand, and the two shook. "That is all I ask of anyone," Izuku said looking at the rest of the boys from 1-A. "We don't have to be friends, hang out, or anything. I just want to trust that you will have my back as I will have yours."

"Yeah, that is cool," Denki said. "You seem to have enough bullshit coming at you; the last thing you need is our crap."

"So, have you guys been able to pick hero names yet?" Sato asked.

"No, that is after lunch," Neito responded. "We were going over our internships…" The conversation shifted at that point, with the boys discussing the number of offers and some of the heroes who had reached out.

Special Offer

As the bell rang to signal the end of lunch, Neito and Itsuka heard their names over the P.A system being summoned to the Principal's office. Neito looked at his friends and shrugged before answering his summons; Itsuka did the same.

When they entered, the last thing they expected to see was All-Might standing there waiting for them.

The two students bowed to All-Might before turning their attention to Nezu.

"Please have a seat," Nezu said as All-Might came and leaned against the desk.

"It was I who wished to speak with you both," All-Might said. "I was very impressed by both your performances at the Sports Festival and the USJ. You both have displayed guts, integrity, resourcefulness, and the true spirit of being a hero."

"Thank you," they both responded.

"I would like to offer you both an internship," All-Might said, their eyes widening. "I see some great potential in you both and would like to help foster that more so than I can do in our time during heroics class."

"Yes!" they both said. It was a dream come true; All-Might was the preferred hero, and being personally trained by All-Might was nearly every kid's fantasy, let alone a hero student.

"I don't want to foster jealousy amongst your fellow students, so officially, you will be interning with my old teacher, a hero named Gran Torino," All-Might said. "I am sure you understand."

"Yes," Itsuka said, bowing; she took the offer sheet with trembling hands.

"I do as well," Nieto said. They both signed the offer sheets and handed them back.

"Very good," Nezu said. "You may both return to class now."

The door wasn't even closed when All-Might and Nezu heard them gushing about how All-Might had extended them an offer. Making the hero smile as he dropped his buff form. "I am pleased you have narrowed your choice to two," Nezu said.

"I wish I could split it," All-Might said. "I think they would both make fine choices. I plan to use this time to get to know them better and hopefully make a final decision by the end of the internship. I had hoped that we would end All for One, but we now know that isn't the case. To saddle one so young with such a burden…"

"You were not much older," Nezu replied. "They have support, and you still have time to train them."

"I can only pray it will be enough," All-Might said, slumping into the chair. "It will never be enough time, but I pray it will be."
