With the school emailing them the previous night, Izuku and Momo were to report to the amphitheater by 8 AM, but not before the former greeted the day by making gentle yet passionate love to Anan in the shower. She had volunteered herself for 'morning duty,' so not only had she arrived at 5:30 to wake him with a blowjob, she even helped him put on his uniform and ensured he properly brushed his teeth after he creampied her no less than four times.

"Be safe, and try not to get into any quarrels with the other students of the Knight Course..." said Anan, her voice low and serene as she shared one final hug with Izuku before he and Momo departed.

"I'll do what I can..." replied Izuku, punctuating his words with a fleetingly chaste kiss, followed by a meaningful exchange of glances before he and Anan finally separated...

"You and Kurose-sensei appear to be getting along splendidly," noted Momo, waiting until she and Izuku were outside the compound before broaching the subject with a smile.

"Even I'm surprised by how amazing she is," replied Izuku, and he meant it. He still remembered the first impression he had of Anan, that she was a bit lacking in femininity compared to Nemuri and Yu, but she was a gentle, caring, and incredibly diligent woman beneath her veneer of placidity. The fact she was 29 and had nearly given up on finding someone to share her life with made him want to track down whoever hurt her and break every bone in their body...

Proving that she was getting to know Izuku a little too well, Momo smiled knowingly and revealed, "The Principal asked me to tell you that the man who abused Kurose-sensei has already received a just punishment. While he never went to prison, he sustained grave, life-altering injuries during an incident where Kurose-sensei's Quirk went out of control."

Though it felt strange to hear Momo talking about someone potentially losing their dick with a smile on her face, Izuku couldn't resist adopting one himself. He might be a bastard who sleeps with tens of women, but he would never harm any of them willfully, especially in cases like Anan, a woman who seemed to radiate 'mommy energy' from the very core of her being. She deserved to be loved, and if she allowed him to, he would give her more than even her Quirk could swallow...

Arriving at the amphitheater around twenty minutes before they needed to be there, Izuku and Momo discovered that a trio of military-grade, tilt-rotor aircraft resembling Ospreys were idling in the arena. Only a handful of their fellow students were present, but there was a substantial number of perfectly identical individuals running around: a man with wild, maroon-red hair and a red and black Hero Costume consisting of padded, lightly armored pants, white boots that appeared to be made from the same materials as Mirko's, and a high-collared sleeveless vest that exposed his muscular arms, flowing into maroon gauntlets.

Noticing Izuku and Momo, one of the identical men, bearing the number 19 on his chest, jogged over to them, smiling as he said, "You must be the exchange students, Izuku Midoriya and Momo Yaoyorozu! I see you're the type that likes to be punctual or early! Excellent...!"

Returning a smile, Izuku replied, "And you must be Sir Henry Churchill, the No. 4 Hero, Legion. It's an honor to meet you, Sir."

Waving his hand dismissively, Henry exuded the same manic gallantry as Toshinori as he loudly asserted, "No need to be overly formal!" Then, with a massive grin, he explained, "You see, I'm not 'officially' a teacher of the Royal Academy. I was mainly hired because my Quirk, Fission, allows me to supervise and assess multiple groups at the same time. So there's no need to get yourselves bent out of shape trying to butter up to me. Where we're going, the only points that matter are your Level and attributes."

"I'll keep that in mind," replied Izuku. Then, as Historia was waving him over, he politely excused himself before approaching the petite blonde and her even more diminutive best friend, greeting them with a smile and a casual, "Good morning, Arthur, Bedivere."

"And what a morning it is~!" exclaimed Historia, surprising Izuku a bit as she stepped toward him, hands behind her back and sporting a sparkle-eyed smile as she revealed, "I discussed what we talked about last time with my father, and he said yes! If the offer stands, Becky and I can move into UA's ambassadorial compound as early as today!"

Though permitting Historia and Rebecca to move into the compound would invariably restrict his activities, at least for a short while, Izuku didn't hesitate to nod, responding, "Then we'll inform the supervisor so they can make the necessary arrangements. Though, whether you can move in today will likely hinge on where these tilt-rotors take us. I can't imagine the Academy prepared them to provide a campus tour."

Following a light chuckle, Historia readily revealed, "These heliplanes are for use by students above Level 30. There are a handful of C and B-Rank breaches nearby that have had most of their readily accessible resources stripped, and it will be our duty to close them."

"In other words, it won't take that long to clear them," concluded Izuku, earning an affirming nod as Historia replied, "That is correct. The board wishes to play it safe until the median Level in the class is 50. After that, only those who show real results will have the chance to continue in the program."

"The Knights of the Round...?" asked Izuku, prompting Historia's smile to broaden, but she remained silent. Only a handful of high-ranking people knew about the Round Table that was basically being built around her, so she smoothly changed the subject, asking, "Back to the previous topic, is it okay if my Governess moves with us into the ambassadorial compound? She is my swordsmanship instructor, confidant, and the person entrusted with my education until the beginning of this year. Even now, she teaches me many things."

Since he still wasn't sure about 'pursuing' Historia, Izuku once again nodded without hesitation, responding, "Of course. There was actually a time when I thought to learn swordsmanship, so maybe she can give me some pointers."

Hearing that Izuku was interested in learning swordsmanship, Historia's eyes glistened with magical energy and excitement. At her side, Rebecca immediately cupped her forehead, running her hand down her face as she sighed and muttered, "He really said the one thing he shouldn't have..."

Exhibiting the reason for Rebecca's exasperation, Historia grasped Izuku's hands, a glimmer of obsession in her radiant green eyes as she practically exclaimed, "Please permit me to join Sir Midoriya in his chivalrous pursuit! Individually, we may be lacking, but if we hone our skills together, we can attain the pinnacle of Knighthood...!"

'Ah, right...she's a chivalry-obsessed Chuuni...' remembered Izuku, albeit a little late. Now, unless he retracted his words or spurned her outright, it was likely that a substantial portion of his free time would be dedicated to honing his swordsmanship and sparring. However, as that wasn't actually a bad thing, he only hesitated for a moment before responding, "I have no desire to attain the 'pinnacle' of Knighthood, but if training together might help you reach it, I'd be happy to accompany you."

Feeling such excitement that her hair began to stir as if blown by a gentle breeze, her Mana beginning to surge outward, Historia tightened her hold on Izuku's hands and exclaimed, "It's a promise!"

Though Izuku waved to Dae-Jung when he appeared, the Korean youth looked away from him in favor of walking over and joining the group of a certain pink-haired tako. This prompted Izuku's brows to rise, but as he couldn't live Dae-Jung's life or make decisions for him, he just shook his head and decided to see how things played out.

As Dae-Jung was the last to arrive, Henry exclaimed, "Excellent! Now that everyone's present, I'll give a quick introduction, and then we can get this dog and pony show on the road!"

Striking a crab pose that caused three other versions of himself to pop out, forming his own super sentai formation, the four Henry(s) exclaimed, "We are Legion~!" in concert. It was honestly kind of cheesy, but as it was intended to promote to young children, Henry didn't mind the class's non-existent response as the version of him with the number one on his chest relaxed his posture and explained, "At least that's why I go by in the field. Here, in class, feel free to call me Sir Churchill. I would say to address me as Henry, but that would be a slight against Her Majesty."

Gesturing with his thumb toward one of the heliplanes, Henry added, "I'm guessing you all want to know what these bad boys are for, right? Well, I'll tell you! Those of you above Level 30 will be split into groups to finish off a few C-Rank breaches we left open to ensure each of you can acquire a Status Board. Those above Level 50 who already have a Status Board will be entering a B-Rank breach along with yours truly. As for the rest of you, you'll be spending this, and every other morning until you reach Level 30, fighting Goblins."

Before anyone could ask, another version of Henry pulled out what looked like a crystal ball, explaining, "As for how we'll determine your Levels, we'll be using this, a fairly common Artefact called a Beginner's Crystal Ball. If someone below Level 100 places their hand on it, it can approximate their Level, attributes, and things like their type and the purity of Mana flowing through their bodies."

Spinning the crystalline sphere atop his finger, Henry's smile broadened as he asked, "Now, any volunteers? You also have the option to wait and do a private reading later, but if you're obsessed with keeping secrets at your current Levels, you'll have a hard time finding allies."

Raising her hand, Historia, to no one's surprise, confidently exclaimed, "I volunteer myself!"

"Sure," replied Henry, casually tossing the sphere to Historia as he added, "You're one of the few who didn't need to take this test, but I won't stop you if you want to show off to your peers. You're more than qualified to do so."

Though she didn't approve of the insinuation she was trying to show off, Historia didn't contest Henry's words. Instead, she closed her eyes and focused on the crystal ball in her hands, a faint white light appearing in its depths, rapidly growing in intensity before it promptly shattered, splitting into several large chunks.

Opening her eyes in shock, a wave of panic washed over Historia, quickly replaced by confusion as Henry exhaled a raucous, barrel-chested laugh. Once everyone's gazes were invariably drawn toward him, he wiped away a non-existent tear from his eye and explained, "And that's what happens if someone with power beyond Level 100 attempts to use it. Thus, for the sake of the school budget, Historia Pendragon, Rebecca Schneider, Izuku Midoriya, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Han Dae-Jung are exempted from having their Statuses evaluated."

Pulling out a second sphere, Henry enjoyed the deadpan that developed across Historia's face as he asked, "Now that the practice demonstration is over, anyone else want to try?"

"I'll go!" shouted a girl with short, somewhat wild bluish-black hair that transitioned into a faint purple color near her fringe. She was short and had green eyes with distinctive white pupils, but her most stand-out feature, given the situation, was that she was adorned in the attire of a Service Course student. As for her Master, it was none other than Roman, smiling confidently as he intended to flaunt his superiority by exhibiting the power of those who followed him...
