Chapter 32

Everyone but Katsuki was back in class Eva was over by Ashido and Jiro.

"Guys! I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused!" Izuku apologized. There was steam coming out of his nose. 

"No sweat, Deku," Urakaka said. "Thanks for your hard work."

"All he did was vacuum," Jiro pointed out. "And what's with those steam nostrils?"

"Sort of reminds me of a dragon," Eva said. 

"Class Rep! Iida! I'm sorry I disappointed you!" Izuku apologized. 

"Right," Iida responded. "Well, I'm glad you learned from your mistakes. Follow the rules from now on!"

"I'll catch up with everything I fell behind on these past three days!" Izuku declared. 

"That's fightin' the spirit! Do it, man!" Kirishima encouraged. 

"Time to take your seats, everyone," Aizawa ordered, Izuku let out a yelp, then everyone did as they were told. "Morning. Now that Midoriya is back, we'll go into more detail about what the work studies entail. Go ahead and come in." The door opened revealing three students.  "I'll have people who've experienced them firsthand explain. I suggest you listen carefully as they point out how work studies differ from internships. These three are third-years at UA. They rank at the very top of our student body. You may know them as the Big Three."

"The Big Three," Izuku breathed. "And it's him." 

"The best of the hero course," Sero said. 

"The Big Three," Kirishima said. 

"They must have so much to tell us," Eva said as she prepped to take notes. 

"Oh, wow!" Ashido cheered. 

"Of all the talented students here, they're the ones at the top," Iida said. 

"They're on a different level," Yaoyorozu said. "Still in school, but practically pro heroes."

"If they're as good as I hear, then they're the students we should be chasing after," Jiro said.

"They don't look all that special to me," Kaminari said. "Except the girl--she's pretty hot."

"The guy from outside I can't believe it," Izuku said. 

"Hey," Eva whispered leaning towards Izuku. "The tall one...isn't."

"Yeah from the Sports festival last year," Izuku confirmed. "The other two didn't take medals home, either."

"We have so much to learn from them," Eva said, Izuku nodded.

"Get to it," Aizawa ordered the Big Three. "Introduce yourselves briefly.  "Let's start with Amajiki." An intense look came over Amazjiki, it put the whole class on edge. 

"It's no good," Amajiki began to tremble. "You two go. I just can't. Even if I try to imagine them as potatoes, I can see their human bodies. I know that they're still people. No words coming out. My mind's blank and my mouth is dry."

"Uh..." Tsu, Iida, and Urakaka breathed. 

"I can't say anything," Amajiki trembled. "I wanna" He faced the wall. "...go home." Ojiro, Kaminari, and Ashido gasped. 

"Okay. So, um," Ojiro sweated a little. "Are you really one of UA's top heroes?"

"Come on, Amajiki!" Nejire laughed. "You need to have the heart of a lion, not a kitten. You know, even though you're a human. Get what I mean?" She turned to the class. "This is our kitten, Tamaki Amajiki. And, hi, my name is Nejire Hado. I'm supposed to talk about work studies. Your first years have a really exciting time ahead of you. Hey, wait, hold on." She leaned in front of Shoji. "Why are you wearing a mask? Is it cuz you're feeling sick? Or just...Trying to look cool."
