(I AM ALIVE!! I SURVIVED THE FLU!! I still have a mild fever, although... its not as bad as before. Anyway, on with the story. Btw, sorry if the chapter is sub par, I'm still delirious due to all the medicines I had to put into my system)

The next couple of days had been tiresome for nearly all the students who made it to the 1v1 battles of the sports festival, especially the ones who reached the second round. The students would often be surrounded by a few people when they were in public places. The only one who was not approached was Bakugou. Momo hated this more than any of the others, much to Izuku's amusement. After a week's break, classes resumed.

"I don't know how you put up with all of this. Seriously. Good thing its raining today." Momo told Izuku as they walked towards UA. Both of them decided to go to school together. They planned that they would go the spot where they first met and go to UA from there.

"You'll get used to... Besides, it'll die down after a while" Izuku replied with a light laugh.

"I guess..." Momo commented. They were walking towards the gates when they heard Iida.

"Good Morning! Yagi! Yaoyorozu!"

"Iida?" Momo turned around and was a little amused when she saw what Iida was wearing.

"Wearing a p-poncho and rain boots?" Izuku on the other hand was a bit dumbfounded.

"Why are you two walking so slowly?! You're gonna be late!"

"Late ? There's atleast five minutes till the first bell rings." Izuku said as both him and Momo began running with Iida.

"UA students should arrive ten minutes early!" With that he sprinted away. To other people, the conversation would have sounded normal, but Momo and Izuku knew that something was odd about Iida.

"Was it just me, or did Iida look a bit--"

"No... something is very off about him" Momo didn't let Izuku finish. Both of them were worried about him once they discovered what happened. Momo and Izuku tried to call him, but the only response they got was a pre recorded message telling them to send a voice mail.

Izuku and Momo entered the school building and were putting their umbrellas in the rack when they saw Iida taking off his rain coat.

"Iida--"

"If its about my brother, there's no need to worry..." Izuku wanted to break the ice, but was cut off by Iida, who turned around to respond.

"He's alright now..." He said before heading towards class.

Izuku and Momo were now sure that their friend was in distress. They were sure because of the look Iida had in his eyes. Izuku recognised that look as there was Body Language classes in Rheinmetall and Momo knew it as she was she was taught about understanding body language from a young age, being a girl from a high class family.

"So many people talked to me on my way here!" Mina exclaimed.

"Well that's what happens when your performance and fights are shown to the entire country. It was really embarrassing through out the last couple of days... I wonder how the pros hide their embarrassment" Kirishima added.

"Yeah! Many people were staring at me" Toru exclaimed.

"I had some elementary students suddenly telling me 'Don't worry about it' in public" Sero commented with a depressed sigh. He's self esteem was further destroyed when Tsuyu said the same thing with a very bland tone. The students were gossiping about their past week when Aizawa entered the classroom, free from the bandages.

"Good morning" Aizawa greeted.

"Mr.Aizawa, your bandages are gone. I'm glad" Tsuyu commented.

"The old lady went a little overboard with the treatment. But more importantly, we're having a special hero class today." As soon as those words left Aizawa's mouth, most of the student's blood froze. Some thought that it would be a quest while others thought it would be about laws related to heroes.

"Codenames... You'll be coming up with hero code names."

"WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING EXCITING!" Almost all of the students shouted in unison, but were promptly silenced by Aizawa's glowing red death glare.

"This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned the other day... The serious drafts begin in the second and third years after the students have gained experience and can become an asset to the pros. In other words, for them to extend offers to first years like you is saying that they are interested in your future potential. These offers are often cancelled if the interest dies down by graduation." Aizawa explained.

"So that means we'll have to prove ourselves to the pros after we get picked, huh?" Toru asked.

"That's right... and here are the for those totals with offers" Aizawa said as a hologram displaying the names and number of offers appeared.

Izuku received most of the offers, followed by Momo, Bakugou and Todoroki. The offer Gap between Momo, Bakugou and Todoroki and the remaining students was nearly as big as the Gap between the three and Izuku.

"In other years, the offers were more spread out, but this year the eyes were in these four, especially the top one" Aizawa pointed at the top four.

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

"Those pros don't know a good thing when they see one" Yuga said, trying not to look angry.

"Momo is second, followed by Bakugou in third...?"

"Its the opposite of their placement in the sports festival" Jirou said followed by Kirishima.

"Some people are too afraid to ask for a guy who had to be tied down to a slab of cement on the podium..." Sero commented.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Came an unwanted reply from the devil himself.

"Keeping these results in mind, whether or not anyone asked for you, all of you Will be participating in internships with pros"

"Internships?" Everyone was a little surprised.

"Yes, internships. At USJ, you already got to experience combat with real villains, but it will be meaningful training for you to see pros at work firsthand." Aizawa continued.

"So that explains the hero names!"

"Things are suddenly becoming a lot more fun!"

"Well those hero names are still temporary, but if you're not serious about it--"

"You'll have to stick with them forever!" Everyone looked at the door to see the R rated hero Midnight enter the classroom, making nearly all of the boys jump in excitement with large grins plastered to their faces.

"Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognised by society, and they end up becoming professional hero names!" She explained.

"That's why Midnight will be making sure that your names are okay." Aizawa said as he turned into a yellow caterpillar.

"When you give yourself a name, you get a more concrete picture of what you want to be like or symbolise in the future, and you can get closer to it. This is what it means when they say 'Names and Natures do often agree' Like All Might, for example." And with that, one by one the students began choosing and telling their hero names infront of the class. And finally, it was Izuku's turn.

"Yagi, come up to the front and present your hero name" Midnight commanded and Izuku obeyed. Everyone was anxious to know about Izuku's hero name.

"You may think that I have a titanic ego to take the name of a titan, but no, I really do want to hold up the sky, and unlike the stories, I want to do it because I don't want to see the sky fall, not because I'm condemned to hold it up... Also, the first part of the codename was originally my late mentor's choice. He wanted to become a hero, but life wasn't fair to him... So I want to take his name and become what he couldn't... A pro hero... And that's why I choose my hero name to be--" Izuku flipped the white slate to display the name written in bold block letters.

"Atlas Prime" Izuku said proudly, getting a couple of 'That's a cool name!'s from his classmates. As he was returning to his seat, the door opened to reveal the principal.

"Ahh, all of you are selecting hero names I see..." He said.

"Yes sir" The class responded.

"Please continue... Yagi, walk with me. I have some important to tell you."

"Yes Sir" Izuku quickly kept the white slate and exited the room. Once they reached the office, Nezu told Izuku to sit down as he began preparing tea.

"Izuku, I've called you here for a proposition."

"Proposition?"

"Yes... Did you choose with whom you want to intern with?"

"No, but I am thinking about interning with Endeavor or Gang Orca..."

"Well, in that case, I have another option for you... His name is Gran Torino. He is a retired pro hero. Torino taught at UA for a year."

"He taught here?"

"Yes... he even taught three of your teachers as well as your parents when they were studying here."

"The teacher of teachers... I'll definitely intern with him!" Izuku said with enthusiasm making Nezu smile. He then proceeded to give Izuku a page with all the information. A few minutes after Izuku left the room, Nezu took out his small phone and called All Might.

"Operation Repair broken bonds is a go" He informed.

(A/n sorry if the chapter was a bit short and boring...I'm still a little queasy)
