Number Three

"Uh? Have you decided so quickly?"

Aizawa was a little surprised as he took the form submitted by Renault, who had arrived at the office. Renault had received 6,000 offers, and yet he had decided with just overnight?

Aizawa said that he would take a good look first, and if Renault didn't choose well, he would reject it outright. However, Aizawa didn't say the rejection words when he saw the name of the hero office on the form.

"You've chosen this one, huh? Well, that's okay, but this guy's temperament is a bit lax. Can you really handle it?"

"I'm not trying to learn anything profound about the internship. Mainly, I want to learn about the hero office's operations and the general daily work of Pro Heroes. For these things, offices that have been established for a relatively short time are more suitable for me, aren't they?"

"Uh?" Aizawa caught the meaning of his words and asked, "Do you want to set up your own hero office in the future?"

"Working under someone else's control doesn't really suit my style. So, I decided from the beginning that I would start my own office after graduation. Although it's a bit early to say these things now, you can't go wrong by starting to learn now."

After looking at Renault's indifferent appearance, Aizawa didn't answer, but signed his name on the form and said, "Alright, I understand. The school will contact the office for you, and you will start your internship next Tuesday. Also, you can bring your own hero costume, which sets a precedent, so you should perform well."

"Yes, I understand."

After Renault left, the other teachers in the office also came over and asked, "Aizawa, which office did Renault choose? Can you tell us?"

"It's not a secret. If you want to know, take a look yourself." As he said this, Aizawa pushed the form forward.

After taking a look, the teachers looked surprised and said, "So it's the Number Three's office, which has indeed been quite popular in recent years."

Japan Pro Hero Rankings, Number Three Hero, Wing Hero, Hawks.

"I initially thought that kid would choose Endeavor's office."

"Indeed, Endeavor's office has consistently been among the top for tasked missions, with a high completion rate. Renault had also submitted an offer for it, but I wasn't surprised that he didn't choose it." Aizawa took the form back and checked off Renault's name beside the list of class names.

Then, he looked at Todoroki Shoto's name.

"Endeavor, huh..."

Although he didn't know much about it, as the homeroom teacher for this period, Aizawa had gathered bits and pieces of information about his students. He could tell that Todoroki had deep-seated biases against his family, or rather, against his own father Endeavor.

Meanwhile, Renault seemed to be familiar with Todoroki and likely knew something about the situation, so he decided not to get involved.

Another factor was that Aizawa himself wasn't particularly fond of Endeavor. He had strong ambitions and was very willful, but his public image among the general population was only average, a far cry from All Might, who consistently ranked first in the rankings.

Throughout the day, Aizawa received various forms submitted by the Class A students. Overall, there were no issues, and most of the students had chosen the office that was best suited to their needs or interests.

However, the form submitted by Todoroki was what surprised Aizawa.

"Are you sure? Have you decided? Do you want to go to your father's office?" Aizawa asked Todoroki, who was standing in front of him. "I had an inkling about it not just from before, but also during the sports festival, but..."

Shaking his head, Todoroki replied, "I've already decided, and I must take this step. Aizawa-sensei, regarding this matter, I'll talk to my father myself. There's no need for the school to contact him."

"...I understand."

After Todoroki left, Aizawa sighed and checked his name off the list.

"This batch of students sure has a lot of problems."

Day by day passed, and the excitement of the sports festival gradually waned.

The Class A students no longer encountered enthusiastic ordinary people on their way to school, which was a relief. However, soon, a tense moment arrived again.

It was time for their internship.

On Tuesday, the Class A students who had already received their hero costumes from the school gathered at the station. Aizawa looked at them and said, "Normally, you are not allowed to wear hero costumes in public places, so don't lose them, okay?"

"Yes!"

"Yes~~~~~"

"Don't drag out your answer, Ashido. Just say 'Yes'," Aizawa continued.

"Yes..."

Aizawa let out a small sigh and continued, "Make sure to be polite to the heroes you'll be working with. Especially those of you who are going to remote places or even places along the coast, like Asui and Tokoyami. Alright, let's go."

"Yes!!!"

Renault had chosen a location in the Tokyo metropolitan area, so they didn't need to go too far and could just take a bus. As for Asui, as Aizawa mentioned; she was going to a place a bit farther away because she was more suited to an internship in a watery environment. And as for Tokoyami; he was going all the way to Kyushu, which was quite far.

Watching Iida leave in silence, Midoriya and Uraraka caught up with him.

Renault turned to Todoroki, who had been silent the whole time.

"I didn't expect you to choose your father's office."

"He's not a good father, but he is certainly an impeccable hero. There is still much I need to learn."

"Well then, good luck. I'll be off now. It's a bit of a distance if I take the bus."

After saying goodbye to Todoroki and the others, Renault got on the bus and headed toward his destination.

"Hawks Agency, I wonder what kind of hero he will be." Sitting on the bus, Renault's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Hawks, who was waiting in his office, also had a stack of information about Renault.

These were data provided by U.A. to help Pro Heroes better understand the students they would face in the future.

"I didn't expect this young man to choose my office. He's really an interesting one, with exceptional talent and temperament. He reminds me of myself when I was his age."

Putting down the data, Hawks stood up and put on his transparent goggles, coming to the floor-to-ceiling window to admire the scenery in the distance.
