Suddenly everyone was talking about him.
Everybody knew about him, some just started talking to him when he was walking and asked him about Idori-kun and how he's doing.

He always explained the same:
His friend left the city spontaneous for multiple weeks, most likely to lay low before he attracted too much attention. 

But something else captured his notice even more than the sudden friendliness of all those people: Tenya Iida returned to class two days after the sports festival surrounded by a somber aura.

His brother had been attacked by Surveye and Stain in Hosu if the Media were to be believed. Nothing else was beknown.

"How is your brother, Iida-kun?", he asked finally silently as he stood in front of his class president.
Leave it to him to rub more salt into the wound with false concern and niceties.

"He is well compared to every other victim.
He only received a heavy hit to the hit and the Surveye had been carved into his back.
He will be able to return to heroics when his injuries are healed but nobody knows when he will awake.", explained the boy with the glasses without using a single, small gesture.

"Sit down. Today your lesson is going to be about something different than you're used to.", said Aizawa bored and started to write something onto the blackboard.

Shouto was relieved to see that his teacher had finally been freed from his bandages and that the only mark left was a small scar on his face.

Promptly everyone went to their table and took his seat and watched how he wrote down names and numbers.

"Here you can see how many Agencies inquired you for the internships. Everyone without an inquiry will have to decide for one of the forty agencies that work together with our school.
Read everything carefully and decide before the weekend."

Shouto Todoroki: 5.214

His eyes grew as wide as saucers.

He had 5.214 requests! 
Which meant that there had to be countless international addresses. Holy…! That was something…

Ochako Uraraka: 2.854
Tsuyu Asui: 2.636
Fumikage Tokoyami: 2.595
Hitoshi Shinso: 2.192

Those were the four best after him, though it did surprise him that Ochaco was so popular.
But he did not begrudge her for that, she was strong and determined.

And then a smirk crept onto his lips - almost everyone got an inquiry with Aoyama being the loser on the board with just one single request.

But one name was not even listed: Katsuki Bakugo.

It was almost hilarious. But it seemed like the whole hero community decided to side against the brute of class 1A.

Eraserhead distributed the piles of letters together with the papers of the forty main-offers that were free for everyone.

He paged through his pile fast and soon felt his head buzz with all the information.
There were some pretty famous names and it was hard to tell who would be able to teach him the most.

In the managed to reduce the small mountain to an eighth by sorting out every Agency that was further away than two hours of flight and also throwing out everyone that fitted too well to him.
He wanted to learn something and see new ways of approaching problems.

Maybe he should try 'rescuing' and look into how exactly he could help people with his Quirk in case of catastrophes?

His eyes landed on a rather cheap letter. 
'Gran Torino,
Speed-hero, retired'
