Next day,
Early morning,
Apartment...

Midoriya's POV

I dressed myself up in my UA uniform. Today was the day I went to my internship along with my classmates.

Ah, I was so nervous...

Yesterday's incident still played in my mind but I shook it off. I had to focus on my internship!

But I hoped I could apologize to Shinso-kun first...

Shinso-kun's face appeared in my mind. Honestly said...I missed him.

I wonder if he would forgive me...

Ah! I really want to meet him!

I cupped both my cheeks and stared at my reflection in the mirror with serious expression. "Apology can come later! Focus on your path to be a hero,Izuku!" I said with determination.

I swifrly grabbed my back and went to dining room to eat breakfast. "Good morning,Mom." I greeted Mom who was preparing the meals. "Good morning, sweetie." Mom smiled warmly at me while placing the plates on the table.

I pulled a chair and sat on it. Mom sat in front of me. I broke apart the chopstickand started eating while chatting with Mom.

I was very glad she didn't mention Shinso-kun's name.

After finishing the meals, I went to the entrance and put on my favourite red shoes.

"Be careful,sweetie. Take care of yourself." Mom told me with eyes fulled of concern. I smiled at her reassuringly. "Okay,Mom. I promise, I'll be careful." I exclaimed confidently to ease her worry.

Mom smiled at me in relief. I held the doorknob. "I'm off!" I excused myself and left my apartment.

.....

At the train station...

Midoriya's POV

After a moment of briefings by Aizawa-sensei, we all seperated and went on our own station. Me and Ochako-chan noticed Iida-kun. It was very unusual for him to stay quiet.

He had been acting weird ever since Ingenium was attacked by Hero Killer and was hospitalized.

"Iida-kun!" Me and Ochako-chan chased after him. He stopped his. "If you ever feel hopeless, please let us know." I told him with my voice sounded very concern with his feelings. Ochako-chan nodded in agreement. She was the same as me, worried about Iida-kun.

"We're friends, right?" I told him and somehow, my chest felt hurt after I uttered those words. Shinso-kun's face appeared in my mind. I clenched my fists, regretting my immature decision yesterday.

Iida-kun turned to look at us and smiled slightly but I could tell...his smile...was a fake one. "Yeah." He replied and then walked away from us.

Iida-kun...

"I hope... He is okay..." I clenched my fists together. My hands trembled as I was too caught up in my emotions. Ochako-chan patted my shoulder while smiling reassuringly at me. "He will be fine,Deku-chan." She spoke uo confidently.

I only responded with a small smile. Ochako-chan excused herself and went to her station, leaving me alone there. I looked around me and almost everyone was gone.

My eyes suddenly caught a boy figure with purple hair talking to Aizawa-sensei.

Shinso-kun...I...

I was about to walk to him but I suddenly stopped my pace. I opened my mouth s few times but my voice wouldn't come out. I then only stared at him for a moment before leaving the area, walking to my station.

Aizawa's POV

I was talking to Shinso when I noticed Midoriya was about to walk towards our direction but she suddenly stopped. I glanced at her for a few seconds and she left this area all of sudden. I then stared at Shinso.

These two...Were really closed, huh?

I noticed that Shinso had been hanging out with Midoriya more often than the other students.

Shinso suddenly turned his back and looked like he was looking for something. "Midoriya already left." I told him bluntly. He was startled by my statement.

Shinso stayed quiet,not saying a word. He looked a bit sad though. I scratched my head, not knowing how to deal such situation.

"Well, let's go,Shinso. You've got a lot to learn." I said, cutting off the awkward conversation. Shinso obediently nodded and we both walked to the station to head to my agency.

.....

A few moments later,
Gran Torino's Agency...

Midoriya's POV

So here was my internship...

I knocked on the door three times but no answer. I rotated the doorknob. "Um,I'm here from UA High school. My name Izuku Midoriya..." I said as I entered the buildings.

My eyes suddenly caught a yellow and white figure laying on the floor with thick red liquid dripping on the floor.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" I screamed in extreme shock. "He's dead!!!!" I yelled with my jaws dropped, my eyes went wide opened and my face turned pale.

"I'm alive!" He exclaimed while raising his head. "He's alive!!!" I hollered again. I quickly sighed in relief.

"Man...When I was carrying a string of sausages with ketchup poured over them, I fell!" Gran Torino exclaimed in embarrassment while brushing off the dirts on hi hero costume.

So it was ketchup?! That's too easily misunderstood!

"Who are you?" Gran Torino asked with his body shaking a bit. "I'm Izuku Midoriya from UA!" I energetically introduced myself to him. "What?" He put his hand on his ear while.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya!" I spoke louder to make sure he heard me. "Who are you?" He asked again and this time, I started to lose my confidence in him.

C-Crap...
He's All Might's teacher. I knew he would be pretty old, but this is too...

Gran Torino suddenly fell sitting on the floor and I started to panic again. "I wanna eat something." He said to me bluntly. "Eat?!" I sighed at him.

"Toshinori!" He suddenly called me but not by my name! "No, that's not me!" I denied him.

"Excuse me, I'm going to make a phone call." I took out my phone and left the buildings to call All Might but all of sudden, Gran Torino opened my costume case.

"W-What are you doing?!" I panicked when he started looking into my costume case. "Fire off a One For All at me." He suddenly spoke up in serious tone. I startled a bit by his statement.

"I wanna know how well you can handle it." He explained to me since I only remained silent.

What's with this guy?Suddenly...

His serious action really confused me. "This is a good costume. Wear it and fire!" He praised my costume design. "U-Um..." My words stucked at my throat. "Who are you?" He tilted his head again.

I-It's no good!!

I flustered again. Just what was wrong with him actually?

"I need to hurry and quickly become able to handle my power. Because All Might doesn't have any time left. That's why... I can't waste my time messing around with you,sir." I clenched my fists in determination. "Please excuse me..." I bowed to him respectively and was about to walk out of the building.

"In that case..." I turned my back and saw Gran Torino got up. He took a deep breath and all of sudden, flew around me at high speed that I still couldn't comprehend hia movement.

He suddenly stopped at the door, cracking the wall due to strong impact. I gasped in total surprise. "In that case, there is even more reason to fire one off! You zygote!" Gran Torino had a smug look at his face.

Wait...He was using the same phrase! Even the way they played dumb was the same! This person...was really...

"I can't stand watching how you're using your power, so I'll teach you." Gran Torino exclaimed. I was actually amazed by him.

"Now put on your costume!" He ordered me. I smiled excitedly at him. "I look forward to working with you!" I exclaimed with an excited smile tugged on my lips.

This person...was really All Might's teacher!
