The Hero Commission didn't summon you.

They summoned him.

Aizawa walked into the council building at 9:02 a.m.

Alone.

When he came out at 9:47 a.m., he was silent.

You met him just beyond the perimeter, heart hammering.

He looked at you.

Eyes unreadable.

Hands clenched.

And then quietly said:

"They ruled in our favor."

You blinked. "What?"

"No breach of contract. No loss of position. We stay."

You didn't breathe.

Not until he added:

"They said the student-teacher dynamic shifted the moment you entered Hero licensing.

That from that moment on... you were equals."

You burst into tears.

And Aizawa—

For the first time in front of others—

Kissed you.

Openly.

Proudly.

In the light.

But there was a caveat.

You had to address the hero world publicly.

A final test of perception.

A closing note to a scandal they failed to control.
