Chapter 27: Phoebus

-Somewhere in the world-

A man in a black suit is on his phone. In front of him, are a couple of people in a robe, tied up to each other. He was speaking in English.

"One of them squealed some info. No. Not much, but it was useful enough. Ram is now working on it. Yes, the decoy's now prepared too. There'll be no problems. Do I really have to go back right now? ASAP? But I've already sent it there. Okay, sir, it's an order."

The man hangs up the call and looks at the robed men. Out of the shadows, a few more men appears scaring all of them with some shivering and pissing their underwear.

"You know what to do. Remember, stay quiet, and do not leave a mess. The rest'll catch them…" The man stops in his tracks. He then quickly turn around and said in Japanese.

"Then maybe! They'll let them go!" The sudden change made some of the robed men weird and confused, but still afraid.

"It's good enough…" He said to himself in English before folding up his long sleeve. There, a unique tattoo of the moon on his arm can be seen but no one of the others did.

"All'eclissi del nuovo mondo." The man said and the others repeat in a monotone voice.

"""All'eclissi del nuovo mondo."""

The man then leaves the room as the other men cover up all the robed men. They then reach on their coat, revealing a handgun, and aim it on the covered heads.

…

"Is that so? Okay, sister. Let's meet later. Tell grandfather that the investigation was smooth." Araki just finished his call with his grandfather's nurse. As he walks back to his classroom, he looks out and sees the dark sky and rain hitting the tall glass wall.

It made him frown but continued his way back to the class. Opening the door, he sees Midnight on the front while Aizawa lays on his sleeping bag. His classmates were also looking at him while holding a small whiteboard.

"Araki, sit down. Here's yours. We were just talking about internships and hero names." Midnight said as she gave him the same whiteboard and a pen while winking at him. A classic Midnight move. Mineta and Denki see this as the former grits his teeth in a comical fashion which everyone ignores.

"Oh, is that so? Okay." He replies and sits down.

"You got quite the number of offers, huh? How's your arm?" Araki said to Denki as he looks at the board. He scratches his head and curls his fist.

"It's almost healed now. I think it's because of our fight. Though maybe because I also got third place. Now that I remember it… I didn't even defeat you." The latter said.

"What do you mean? You clearly won didn't you?" Araki says.

"I knocked you out of the ring. And even then, I'm the one who took more damage than you…" Denki simply said. He then looks at Araki and smiles.

"Let's spar once again once I master my move!" He excitedly said.

"Okay then. Where are you going to do your internship?" Araki asks.

"I don't know yet. How about you? And what's your hero name?"

"Me? I've talked with Principal Nezu about a month ago and I'm not doing my internships here."

"What do you mean? You're not doing an internship?"

"No. I'm doing my internship in France."

"FRANCE!" His loud voice made everyone look at him even the two teachers. He apologizes before they return to normal but the two people with special hearing was able to hear what they were whispering about.

"I'll tell you later. You don't have to panic, it's not like it's a secret. You idiot."

The presentation of the hero names then starts and Aoyama kicks it off with his extravagant and in-character name. Then, others also show their names up front. Most were accepted while some have to redo their names.

Among the last that didn't give their name were Araki, Izuku, Iida, Shoto, and Bakugo's appropriate name. Seeing that no one is coming up, Araki stood and puts his whiteboard upfront.

What was written on his board confused many of his classmates and even the two teachers.

"Phoebus? Is that some sort of reference to anything?" Midnight asks. Araki looks at her and replies.

"Ah, yes. It's a reference to the Greek God Apollo. Although he was mostly associated with the sun and his beauty, he was also the god of music, art, dance, poetry, archery, and many more. But those that I've said are things that I like ever since a kid."

His answer caused murmurs among his classmates and Midnight accepts his name.

"I guess we all learn something new every day." Midnight said to everyone. The newfound discovery causes Jiro to lean near his seat and ask him questions about his taste in music but she manages to control herself.

They soon finish the activity and Aizawa starts to hand out the form to everyone.

"Don't give one to Araki. He's already got one."

"I've already given mine to the principal," Araki said. This reminds Denki once again of what he said earlier.

"Hey dude, how are you doing your internship in France?"

"I planned it months ago and I've already contacted the hero I was doing it with. I also did many paperwork for the school records. In the end, Principal Nezu labeled it as an exchange student program."

"Ugh… paperworks… But why do you want to do your internship there?" Denki asks.

"Well, that's the part that's secret." Denki stared at him in disbelief.

"I'm just kidding. I just know some hero there. They told me to come if I have the time so, I arranged it. That's why the process wasn't as rough as you think."

"Dude! How do you even get that sort of connection?"

"Odd jobs? A lot of odd jobs. You can find some online. I can even send you some referrals if you want."

The gist didn't last long and as the boys take their costumes, some of the more curious ones interrogated Araki about his special condition. Especially the connoisseur, Midoriya as he was curious about the details of overseas heroics. He was more stressed in there than in the private room earlier that day but he managed to give them answers and get his costume.

The week ends and all of them including Class 1-B took their costumes to their new internship place. Meanwhile, Araki was in a café sitting with his grandfather's nurse who just finished telling him about her request that she was first hesitant about.
