The camera opens to Class 1-A heading to class.

Tenya:*Chopping the air.* "Listen up everyone! Stay in line and move promptly to the grounds!"

Sero:"You're the one who's not in line."

Tenya:"The dilemma of a class rep!"

The camera shows Monama a little ways in front of them.

Monama:"I heard, Class A--"

Monama:"Two people! You had two people fail the provisional licensing exam!"

Sero:"CLass B's Monoma!"

Denki:"He's crazy, as usual!"

Kirishima:"So were you the only one to fail again? Like with the final?"

Monama laughs then turns around.

Kirishima:"Which is it?!"

Monama:"We..."

Monama:"..All passed! We've pulled ahead of you, Class A."

Shoto:"Sorry...everyone..."

Kirishima:"They're turning it into a competition on their own, so don't worry about it."

Pony:"According to Vlad Teacher, we'll have classes together this semester! I'm looking forward to it!"

Monama start to whisper into Pony's ear.

Kirishima:"Oh, I can't wait to test out my skills!"

Denki:"Anyway, you're an exchange student, right?"

Pony:"I'll beat you up so bad you won't be able to get back up!"

Denki and Kirishima go white.

Monama laughs and gives Pony a thumbs up.

Kendo:"Don't teach her weird phrases!"

Kendo chops Monama's neck, knocking him out.

Shinso:"Hey, we're trying to get through back here."

Tenya:"I'm sorry! Come now, everyone, save your chitchat for later."

Shinso and his class walk up.

Tenya:"You're causing problems for other people!"

Shinso:"Don't show me how uncool you are."

Tokoyami:"Shinso."

Jiro:"He's the person who fought Midoriya at the sports festival."

Sero:"That guy looks....Like he's bulked up a bit..."

Later.

Everyone is now outside and Nezu is on a stage, next to a microphone. Io is standing behind Nezu to the side. Io looks a little tired.

Nezu:"Hey! It's the small mammal you all love, the principal! Recently, the fur I'm so proud of has deteriorated in quality...It's hard for me to take care of it. This is something you can say about humans, too. Even if you have a balanced diet with zinc and vitamins, the most important thing has to be sleep. Disturbing your lifestyle is the worst for your fur. So if you're trying to improve your hair quality,"

Nezu:"You should make sure to get enough sleep!"

The camera moves down to Ojiro and Denki is messing with his tail.

Then the camera moves back up to Nezu.

Nezu:"The cause of the disturbance in lifestyle is incidents from this summer vacation, I'm sure you all already know about--The loss of a pillar." *The camera looks at All Might.*

Nezu:"And one working hard to try and fill the role of that pillar." *The camera looks to Io.*

Nezu:"The effects of that incident have appeared faster than I could have imagined. There will probably be great chaos in society in the near future. In particular, this will be the most apparent to those of you in the hero course. You must approach activities outside of school, like the hero work studies that mainly second and third years participate in, with a greater sense of caution and crisis than before."

The camera moves down to Mina and Tsuyu.

Mina:"Hero work studies?"

Tsuyu:"Is it like the next level of the internships we did?"

Nezu:"The air always feels heavy when we talk about gloomy things like this, huh? The adults are working hard to do something about that heaviness. We'd like you all to learn that hard work from them and develop into capable people. All of you in the business course, general studies, support course, and hero course-- I don't want you to forget that you're all successors of this society."

Nezu gets off the stage and Vlad walks up to the microphone.

Vlad:"Thank you, Principal Nezu. And now, we have a few warnings from the non-curricular guidance teacher, Mr. Hound Dog."

Hound Dog walks up to the microphone.

Hound Dog:"Grrr.... Yesterday...grrr...At the dorms! Grrrr..... Growl....! Unused to grrr... life---" *Hound Dog howls and get off the stage.*

Io is clapping and walks up to the microphone.

Io:"As some of you may know. There were students fighting last night. You might not be used to living at the dorms, but let's live a life of moderation, is what he means."

The camera moves down to Mineta and Momo.

Mineta:"Does he forget human speech when he gets angry? There's still so much I don't know about U.A....."

Momo:"Midoriya and Bakugo are being treated as problem children, aren't they?"

Io:"So now, return to your classrooms, starting with the third years."

Later.

The camera moves into Class 1-A classroom. Aizawa and Io are at the front of the class and Io's rubbing his eyes.

Aizawa:"Okay, then, we'll be continuing regular classes starting today. A lot of unprecedented things happened,  but you'll need to switch gears and focus on your duties as students. We'll be staying inside the classroom today, but this semester, you'll have even harsher training than before."

Mina then whispers to Tsuyu.

Mina:*Whispering.* "He's not talking about it..."

Aizawa's hair flies up and he scar levates and his eyes glow red.

Aizawa:"What's that, Ashido?"

Mina:*Little scared.* "I haven't felt this in a while!"

Tsuyu:*Raises her hand.* "I'm sorry, can I ask a question? Can you tell us what the 'Hero work studies' that came up earlier during the opening ceremonies are about?"

Sero:"Oh yeah, the principal said something about that."

Tokoyami:"I was wondering, as well."

Momo:*Raises her hand.* "He said it was something many of the upperclassmen are engaged in..."

Aizawa:"I was planning to talk more about those at a later date, but...I guess telling you guys now is more logical. To put it simply, they're hero activities outside of school."

Io:"Kinda like the internships you kids did before under heroes.... only closer to the real thing."

Ochaco then freaks out.

Ochaco:*Stands up.* "Then why did I work so hard at the sports festival?!"

Tenya:"That's true. If we have work studies, then even those who didn't get scouted at the sports festival would have paths open up for them."

Sato is trying to calm Ochaco down.

Sato:"Now, calm down. You're not being yourself."

Ochaco:"But--!"

Aizawa:"The hero work studies use the scouting from the sports festival as connections. This isn't part of a class, but an activity done at the discretion of the student. So those who weren't scouted at the sports festival would have a hard time lining one up to begin with. Originally, individual agencies recruited on their own, but there were many complications with trying to get U.A. students to join, so it ended up being like this. If you understand, sit down."

Ochaco:"I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions..." *She sits down.*

Aizawa:"Now that you have your provisional licenses, you can assist in more real ways for longer periods of time. But there haven't been many cases where first years have received their provisional licenses. With the increased activity of villains, we are currently thinking seriously about your participation. Well, we'll have you hear more about what it's like and explain in further detail at a later date. We've got our own circumstances to consider.  Well then, sorry to keep you waiting, Mic."

Present Mic opens the door.

Present Mic:"First period is English! In other words, my time! It's been an age since I stood on this stage! DId you miss me, bro?"

Aizawa and Io leave the classroom.

Io:"Time for more hero work."

Later.

The camera is back in Class 1-A the next day and Izuku is near the door bowing.

Izuku:"I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused!" *Steam comes out of his nose.*

Ochaco:"Deku, thanks for all your hard work!"

Jiro:"'Hard Work'? Why does he looks so angry, anyway?"

Izuku goes up to Tenya.

Izuku:"Iida, I'm sorry for disappointing you!" *Steam comes out of his nose.*

Tenya:"Right... I'm just glad you know what you did wrong. But what's the matter?"

Izuku:"I'm going to catch up with everything I fell behind in these past three days!"

Kirishima:"Oh, that's great! I love stuff like that!"

Aizawa and Io comes into the room.

Aizawa:"In your seats, everyone."

Everyone runs to their desks and sit down.

Aizawa:"Morning."

Io:*Little tired.* Morning."

Aizawa:"Now that Midoriya is back, we'll go into more detail about the work studies."

Aizawa looks to the door.

Aizawa:"Please come in."

The Big Three come in.

Aizawa:"We'll have people who experienced it first hand tell you about how these are different from the internships. Listen carefully."

Io:"The three third years at U.A. who are the top of all U.A. students-- Also known as the Big Three."

Izuku:"Big Three."
