After lunch, the class 3-A students were hanging around their desks chatting with their peers, waiting for their home room teacher to start class. They were excited to see where this year would take them. Though their first two years were very eventful, with fighting villains and the retirement of All Might – the symbol of peace. They were nervous to see what this year would intel.

"Everyone, take your seats." Shouta Aizawa, the raggedy black-haired older man grumpily grumbled while walking in through the large door and greeting his third-year homeroom students.

The students were seated right away into their own desks before he even made it to the podium in front of the classroom. They did not want to disappoint and anger their sensei this early in the day.

"Good afternoon Aizawa sensei." Class 3-A responded in unison. Making Aizawa wince slightly from their loud cheery voices.

It's too early for this, Aizawa thought, pinching the bridge of his nose. Already tired for the day – wishing he could crawl into his yellow sleeping bag.

Grumbling in coherently at first Aizawa went straight to business. "Welcome back from summer break. Today, we have some special guests from the Musutafu police department and Fat-Gum's hero agency. They want to recruit some of you for an ongoing case they've been working on..."

This perked some of the half-asleep students into paying attention.

Izuku being one of them and snapping out of the incessant negative thoughts of what was to come. Having something to look forward to – it was nice to finally have a mental break.

"We want to start off this semester by preparing you in real life battle situations. If you thought your first and second year was tough, you have no idea what is coming to you this year."

At hearing this, all the students looked around nervously to each other. Not knowing what their teacher had in mind, since he had surprised them many times before.

"The students who are called today, will have to take extra remedial classes to make up for the work missed. Be respectful and be on your best behavior. I'm speaking specifically to you Bakugou." Aizawa gave the ash young blond man a glare.

"Tch..." Katsuki grunted not wanting to get in trouble and miss the opportunity of getting chosen for the mission. He could hear his friends, Eijirou, Denki, Hanta and Mina snickering quietly in the background.

That got him more irritated than he already was. He couldn't explode on them now, so he would make time for it later.

"Um, Kacchan are you okay?" Izuku, his green haired freckled rival, whispered lowly behind him. Not wanting to get in trouble with Mr. Aizawa.

Izuku could see steam come off his childhood friend.

Him and Katsuki had a rocky relationship. They were best friends in elementary school. However, when Katsuki changed due to his quirk manifesting and letting it get to his head and altering his personality, he started to treat Izuku terribly.

Their friendship slowly started to turn into a rivalry of sorts as they got older.

However, since the beginning of last year and with All Might's retirement, they had come to a common ground and had fought less than previous years. They knew with the power of All-For-One, and the league of villains they had to put their differences aside. Besides they let bygones be bygones.

They've grown closer as friends, almost like brothers.

"Shut up, you damn nerd. I'll get them later at the dorms. They'll never make fun of me after I'm done with them." Katsuki chuckled darkly. Already coming up with a plan in his head for the perfect revenge.

Seeing Katsuki act like that made Izuku sweat nervously in his seat. Though Katsuki did become better now that he was older, somethings did not change.

"Mr. Aizawa, did they mention what type of case this will be?" Ochako asked excitedly from the back of the room, also wanting to get out into the field again.

She was also brought out from her depressive state. Thinking of the events that would take place later once she talked with Izuku – kept eating at her mind.

Other students nodding eagerly leaned in, wanting to get more information of what type of mission some of them would get chosen for. Ever since they got their hero licenses and have been working with some agencies in getting hero training. They've been craving for more action.

"They did not mention the specifics of the case. They wanted to go over all the details and any questions you have when they come in. I know it will be against a villain organization involved in some suspicious events. A possible rescue is also in the works." Aizawa answered the small brunette as vaguely as he could.

Of course, he knew what type of case it was. He wouldn't have said yes to his student's involvement if he did not know. He thought of their safety first before making the decision of involving them. First, he had to assess who should go and who could be put under pressure to take on this mission.

He could acknowledge his class has grown a lot from their first and second year. Though they still had more to learn. The world outside U.A would not be an easy one. They got a taste of how fighting villains was like. They got experience with the constant attacks in their first year and the kidnapping of one of their peers.

However, this case was different.

This case was similar to what his adopted daughter, Eri, went through. He wasn't sure if his class was entirely ready, but he couldn't hold them back anymore. They were graduating this year. They would see just how hard being a hero truly is, how dark things can get. Some of them already knew this, however not all of them.

A knock coming from the large classroom door, made everyone tense up.

Aizawa not fazed, walked up, and opened the door, welcoming detective Naomasa Tsukauchi from the Musutafu station and Fatgum, the hero himself. Eijirou at seeing the agency's leader he's been interning for, almost jumped out of his chair to go and hug him. Before he could though, Aizawa shot him a glare making the poor red head man pout and stay seated instead.

"Thank you for having us, Mr. Aizawa. Hello, class 3-A. I'm Naomasa Tsukauchi and some of you may already know Pro-Hero Fatgum. I'm sure your teacher already let you know of our intentions for being here. We want to invite some of you students to join our team for a case we've been working on for a while. This is a huge opportunity for whoever is picked."

Naomasa smiled kindly to the students before turning serious.

"However, I must also stress that it is very dangerous. We have a list of students who've been considered for this case, and we will go into detail about this case with only those students. Should you choose to be dropped from this case, we will understand. We will not hold you accountable for your decision." Naomasa looking straight at Hitoshi Shinsou beckoned him to joined them.

The purple-haired male that rivaled the tired look of Aizawa, stood up and joined him and Fatgum.

He was the first one Aizawa picked for this case. With his brainwashing quirk, he was a perfect candidate. They've been secretly meeting with Fatgum and Tsukauchi. Helping in making the decision of what students would best fit this mission.

Hitoshi, just like Eri, was also adopted by Aizawa. He, however, decided to keep his original last name so people wouldn't think he got ahead in his hero career because of Aizawa's favoritism. Which there has never been any bias, Hitoshi made a name for himself in the hero world all on his own. Aizawa only helped to guide him and train him.

Hitoshi had a hidden past that no one, other than his adoptive family members knew about. Aizawa, the fatherly man, came to his rescue and has been his father ever since. Hitoshi and Eri became very close these past two years. It took a while to have the little white-haired girl open-up to him, but now they were inseparable.

"Shinsou's already been chosen for this case then?" Tenya, the class president asked after raising his hand and being called upon.

"Yes, he knows the case and has been working with us from the very beginning. Mr. Aizawa along with other faculty members gave us a list of students who have potential in helping us. We've looked over your records, and achievements in making our decisions as well. Please understand if we did not choose you, it is not because we did not think of you. We chose students who have compatible quirks with the type of services we need." Fatgum looked at each student and gave them his biggest smile.

"Once we say your name, please step forward...

Asui, Tsuyu

Bakugou, Katsuki

Iida, Tenya

Kaminari, Denki

Kirishima, Eijirou

Midoriya, Izuku

Uraraka, Ochako

Sero, Hanta

Todoroki, Shouto..."

"Should one of you decide not to move forward in the case we do have substitutes just in case. Thank you all for having us, and to the rest of you good luck with your studies. The students who've been chosen if you could please follow us." Tsukauchi, started to walk out the door and waited patiently for all the students who were called to join him.
