Izuku woke up from his dream nice and refreshed.

He didn't know why he had been dreaming about how he met the rest of the big three, but he was fine with reliving those happy memories. And what made him even happier was remembering the day before.

He and Momo were a couple now!

He had been worried for a moment that it had been part of the dream, but when he opened up his phone to check the time he saw multiple congratulations from people in his class, chief among them Itsuka, who seemed to be complaining about 'how long they took to make it happen'.

He was shocked out of his happy memories by a buzz from his phone, his alarm going off signifying that he was 5 minutes late in his schedule. Swearing, he hopped out of his bed and rushed around to get his workout clothes on.

Sprinting down the stairs 3 at a time, he reached the front door of the dorms and only had a millisecond after he opened it to hit the deck, rolling under the arm Aizawa was holding out, intending to clothesline him.

"You're late. Not acceptable. Let's go."

Izuku didn't bother arguing with him, he was late, and instead hopped up and followed the man to their training center. Aizawa got him started on his workouts while doing his own, watching over Izuku the whole time.

After almost 15 minutes of silence, apart from the occasional order to change drill, Aizawa spoke up. "So, Izuku. I heard about you and Yaoyorozu."

Izuku paused for a moment mid pull-up and glanced over at Aizawa. Then he flashed the man a smile as he raised himself above the pull-up bar and sat down on it. "Oh yeah? Does that mean you paid Midnight her $20? She told me about the bet you two had."

Aizawa activated his Quirk on the boy, glaring at him as he grumbled about that.

"Seriously, I find your lack of faith in my ability to ask Momo out disturbing." Izuku continued, with a grin on his face.

Aizawa threw his towel at the boy and shook his head. "You're not getting out of your workout for this you know, your hero class today is a theory lesson, so you need the exercise. Go do 10-minute interval sprints on the treadmill."

Izuku gave the man a loose salute, before sticking his tongue out at him, and scurrying off towards the treadmill. Aizawa continued his own workout for the next ten minutes, before hearing Izuku coming back over.

Aizawa was hanging by his knees on a pull-up bar and doing sit-ups when Izuku's smirk entered his vision. He sighed internally. He knew that face. "What do you want, Problem Child?"

Izuku chuckled as his smirk deepened and he leaned back, placing his hands behind his head. "What? You inquired into my love life, it's only right I do the same, isn't it? How's Ms Joke doing? Got any plans on making her Mrs. Joke anytime soon?"

Another flash of his Quirk, and Izuku's smirk became a shit-faced grin as he dodged out of the way when Aizawa swatted at him. "Oh c'mon! Nezu said that you leave school grounds to meet up with her at least twice a week! You like each other!"

'I'm going to strangle that damn rat.' Aizawa groaned as he dropped to the ground and rolled onto his feet. "And so what if we do? If I say anything about it she wins! Then what happens to our banter? That's the only way I know how to talk to her!"

At that, Aizawa froze. That was not what he had meant to say. He had meant to say how if Izuku didn't shut up about it, he would shove his foot so far up his… the kid was laughing. Why was he laughing?

Waving to something above the door, Izuku quickly ran out of the gym and back to his dorm to get ready for his classes. Turning around, Aizawa almost cried as he saw the camera in the corner of the roof, with its recording light blinking.

There was no doubt in his mind that Nezu was watching, and had plans to circulate that video to the rest of the staff. He grumbled as he exited the gym as well and prepared himself for the day's classes.

'God damn problem child…'

He didn't even realize that he was smiling softly the whole walk back.

Izuku could really get used to this whole 'dating' thing.

He had entered the classroom only to be immediately crushed in a hug by Momo, followed by a short, but still absolutely mind-blowing, kiss. There were a few wolf whistles and teasing remarks at the sight, but they died down quickly when Itsuka glared at the offenders and cracked her desk-sized knuckles.

He smiled at Momo as she practically floated to her desk, before moving to his own seat and sitting down, just in time for Aizawa to come in, fully dressed in his hero costume. Or at least, he assumed he was in his costume, as his bright yellow sleeping bag covered everything but his face.

"Morning everyone. Today we will be going over your results from the Sports Festival. You all did well enough, but there are many places where some of you faltered. We will be going over your shortcomings in a later lesson, though."

He pressed a few buttons on the podium and the screen lit up with a few different bars, with names to their left. "Today, we will be going over your week-long internships, and the offers you all received from the Pro Heroes who were watching the festival."

Izuku was sure that he kept talking for a moment, but was too blown away by the numbers on the board…

Momo Yaoyorozu: 8,652
Shoto Todoroki: 6,632

Izuku Midroiya: 4,587

Katsuki Bakugou: 4,513

(etc.)

He looked over at Momo, then at Shoto.

And smiled as widely as he could at them. He was so proud! Sure! A lot of Todoroki's offers were probably small-time heroes trying to cash in on 'helping teach Endeavor's son', but the point was his number was crazy high!

And then there was Momo! He didn't even think he could properly express how proud of her he was with his facial expressions alone, but he could see Aizawa moving to sit in the corner of the room, so he put his thoughts on that subject away for later and refocused into the lesson.

"-ore you can do any work with a hero agency, you need one thing in particular. I'm not very good at this subject, so I've asked for a little help." Izuku could almost see Aizawa die a little inside as the door slammed open, and Midnight strolled in, hands on top of her head.

"And I am here to help you little fledglings pick out your hero names! You should use your teacher as a warning though, the names you pick might just stick forever, so make sure it's a good one you hear?"

Izuku's mind began racing, bringing up all the different possible names that he had either come up with or been suggested over the years. He immediately ruled out nick-names like Off-switch or Cork, as they had been intended as insults.

(Albeit not very good ones)

Whiteboards and markers were handed out to the students, and for the next few minutes, the only sounds were the squeaking of the markers. Izuku spent his time debating what Hero name he should use, before he noticed Tsuyu walk to the front of the room.

Tsuyu put her board on the podium and her other finger on her chin. "I've had this name in mind since I was in grade school. I'm very excited to finally be able to use it. My hero name is going to The Rainy Season Hero: Froppy!"

It was the perfect name for her, and the class seemed to recognize that, as they started cheering her Hero name. There were more and more people getting up to present now that Tsuyu had broken through the awkward air.

"The Manly Hero: Red Riot!"

"A reference to Crimson Riot? How wonderful! I hope you can live up to the expectation you're setting for yourself!"

"The Tentacle Hero: Tentacole"

"An excellent portmanteau! Well done Shoji!"

"I cannot stop twinkling!"

"It's a bit wordy, but if you change it to 'Can't stop Twinkling', it should work!"

"The Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi!"

"God of the night, how fitting! An excellent suggestion Tokoyami!"

"Uravity!"

"So cute! I love it! Well done Uraraka!"

"King Explosion Murder!"

"Definitely not. Try again, Bakugou."

"Fuck!"

"The Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt!"

"Ah, that one made me tingle! A wonderful name, Kaminari!"

"Alien Queen!"

"Hmm… maybe not… but then again, Aizawa's name is from an old horror movie as well… Alien Queen it is!"

Bakugou stomped up to the desk for a second time and slammed the whiteboard down on the podium before yelling out his new name.

"Lord Explosion Murder!"

"Ok. I'm fairly certain you misunderstood the issue with your name Bakugou!"

"Fine! God fucking damnit. Ground Zero!"

Izuku perked up at that name. He could barely stop the smile from crossing his face as Bakugou had used one of the names that he had suggested for him so many years ago. He quickly hid the smile as the boy looked over at him though. He really wasn't in the mood for a fight.

"The Sugar Hero: Glucoma!"

"What a knockout! That's an excellent name Rikido!"

Izuku smiled as he saw Hitoshi move to the front of the room. He shot him a wink and a small thumbs-up, getting a smile in return.

"The Control Hero: Puppeteer."

"It's both spooky, and fitting! I like it! Excellent work Hitoshi!"

Setsuna floated her head and hands up to the front, allowing the rest of her to stay seated. She smirked as she read out her name.

"The Dino Hero: Lizardy!"

"You certainly are Tokage! Well done!"

Pony clip-clopped her way up to the podium, rocking back and forth on her feet as she held the whiteboard out.

"The Horse Hero: Stampede!"

"How perfect for you Tsunotori! It's wonderful!"

The set of floating clothes that was Toru hopped up to the front of the room and slammed her whiteboard down on the podium, bouncing up and down as she did.

"The See-Through Hero: Torusilicate!"

"Um… what?"

Toru huffed and crossed her arms. "It's a pun! Midoriya helped me with it! It's meant to be a play on Borosilicate, cause you can see through me but I'm tough!"

Izuku just flashed her a smile as Midnight shrugged. "Alright then! It's clever! A good name!"

"The Vine Hero: Botanica"

"Oh, that's marvelous! I love it Shiozaki!"

Ibara smiled and stepped down to her own seat, Momo taking her place on the podium. She flashed a smile at Izuku, one that he returned, and pulled out her whiteboard.

"I was going to use the name "Creati", but after thinking about it, I don't think that's the best I can do. So from here on out, my Hero name is going to be…

"The Versatile Hero: Izanami!"

"Goddess of creation and the maker of the Japanese islands! A wonderful name to use for yourself!"

Momo's smile was definitely Izuku's new highlight of the day. She intentionally passed by his desk and gave him a quick hug, and he squeezed as tight as he could, a giant smile on his face.

Kyoka walked up to the front, nervously wrapping one of her earphones around her finger. "The Hearing Hero: Deciboom!"

"What an excellent name Jirou! Well done!"

Jirou stepped down, and Todoroki replaced her. Placing his whiteboard on the podium, he glanced over at Izuku for a moment, a soft smile on his face.

"I have decided that my hero name shall be 'The Balance Hero: Equalizer."

He then walked back to his seat before Midnight could give him any feedback, and nodded towards Izuku. Izuku just smiled back at him.

While all of this had been going on. Tenya Iida was going through a tough moment.

"Tenya. They're saying that I won't be able to move my legs."

Iida dropped to his knees beside his brother's hospital bed. "No! I refuse to believe that! You're Ingenium… you're my brother. I know that you can get better!"

"Tenya. We both know deep down that I can't be Ingenium anymore…"

"So I want you to be Ingenium."

His head dropped as he wrote his Hero name on the whiteboard.

Shaking as he walked to the front of the room slowly, he placed his whiteboard down softly and revealed the name 'Tenya' to his classmates.

Midnight furrowed her brow. This was worrying news, especially after what she had heard from Tensei. But she would allow it for now. "There's nothing wrong with using your given name, Iida. It's a fine choice."

Iida nodded and walked back to his desk, pointedly ignoring the worried glances he was getting from his classmates. They wouldn't understand. They couldn't understand.

In an effort to distract the class from Iida, she spoke up. "So! I think we only have 1 more name! Class President Midoriya! Come share your Hero name with us!"

Izuku nodded as he hopped out of his seat, moving to the front of the room quickly. He looked around and smiled at the class, before placing his whiteboard down.

"I've thought about this for a while and tried to find something that doesn't overlap with ol' grumpy, sleeping in the corner there" A grumble could be heard from the sleeping bag.

His smile only grew wider as he said his Hero name for the first time.

"My Hero name is going to be... "The Shutdown Hero: Gridlock!"
