The Last Party

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! They were interviewed for an entire hour, and Bakugo's answers were completely useless! His face was also cut in half!" Kaminari and Sero exclaimed.

"Use my answer, damn it!!!" said Bakugo annoyed.

A few days earlier, Bakugo and Todoroki had already completed additional training for their temporary hero license. And on their way home, they immediately defeated a group of villains who were messing up in the city. Finally a group of journalists came to UA and interviewed the two to respond to the incident. However, during the entire hour of the interview, there was not a single news clip showing Bakugo's answer. They only used answers from Todoroki because Bakugo always answered questions rudely.

"They're trying to protect him, aren't they?" Uraraka asked.

"This is already the third interview too…" Yaoyorozu said.

"His good reputation after getting a temporary license was immediately lost." Jiro said.

"By the way, I rarely see Haku being interviewed. Yet he has done many extraordinary things." Kirishima said.

"You're right. Oi, Yuki, why do we rarely see you being interviewed?" asked Kaminari.

"Hmm..? I don't like being interviewed. So if anyone wants to interview me, I'll turn it down or I'll run away." Haku said casually.

"Run away…? You're like a child. Shouldn't you be proud of being interviewed? It means people want to know more about you." Yaoyorozu said.

"Hm… Is that so? I would even feel embarrassed if I had to be interviewed. It felt like I was making excuses about why I did that and all. I hate being praised by people I don't know." Haku said.

"Whaat? You're so weird huh. I'd be happy if a lot of people complimented me. It feels like the hard work I've been doing is paying off." Kirishima said.

"Don't be too optimistic. Things may be going in a positive direction, but underneath that, there's an urgency to be in danger." said Mt. lady who suddenly entered along with Midnight.

"Are the cheers of support for the side who are certain to win actually a prayer for their victory?" Midnight said.

"Recently, heroes have become more of just celebrities, but now, the public wants to see the real heroes!" said Mt. Lady.

"Mt. Lady?!"

"We asked her to come as a special instructor. Because you're all getting famous too. Midnight is coming too." Said Aizawa who came wearing his yellow sleeping bag.

"I'm not famous at all!" Bakugo exclaimed.

"Next time, fight even harder!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"It's not right for me to speak like this, but she is the hero who is most regarded as a celeb!" Mineta exclaimed, pointing to Mt. Lady.

"Noisy!" Exclaimed Mt. Lady.

"Today will be a media practicum. I, Mt. Lady, an active hero and a beautiful sexy commodity, will teach you how to act like a hero!" Exclaimed Mt. Lady.

"I don't know what we're going to do, but let's get Plus Ultra in this lesson, everyone!" Kirishima exclaimed.

'This lesson is probably just practice for answering interviews.' Haku thought lazily.

"YEAH!!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The class is, practice for the hero interview!" exclaimed Mt. Lady who was on the stage when everyone had finished changing their costumes and leaving the field.

"Very ordinary!" said the already excited Kirishima.

"Hero Shoto, come here." Call Mt. Lady.

"Yes." Shoto then went up to the stage.

"You're doing great out there, Shoto-san." said Mt. Lady.

"What do you mean?" Shoto asked innocently.

"Pretend you just finished your job!" whispered Mt. Lady.

"Start!"

"Yes."

"Shoto-san, what kind of hero do you want to be?"

"A hero who can make everyone feel safe when I come."

"Great! If a handsome boy like you came to save me, my heart would definitely skip a beat!"

"Do you… have heart problems?" Shoto asked innocently. Haku who saw this immediately laughed but he managed to close his mouth just in time before the sound of laughter could be heard loudly.

'Oh my, what's with this brat? He's so cute! I so want it! That must be what Mt. Lady thinking this time.' Haku thought when he saw Mt.Lady's reaction to Shoto's question.

"What's your ultimate move like?" asked Mt. Lady.

Shoto immediately practiced his ultimate move by creating a large iceberg. "Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall. This move can reach a large area, stop the opponent's movement, and a place to take cover. The uses are many. Then I also have Heatwave flashfreeze." Shoto said.

"Eh, what about the technique he used against class B?" asked Jiro.

"If I'm not mistaken, it belongs to Endeavor…"

"Flashfire Fist!"

"Flashfire Fist is my father's technique." Shoto said.

"Huh?"

"I'm still far from his level." Shoto said.

"I didn't come here to talk about personal matters, but if you want to make other people feel safe, you have to be able to smile. You can kill women with your smile!"

"If I smile, they die?" Haku finally laughed even though his hand was covering his mouth. Some of his friends who were nearby immediately looked at Haku.

"Sorry." Haku said while chuckling.

"We also have to bring out our moves during the interview?" asked Tokoyami.

"Oh dear, UA students. Not everyone knows you! The ultimate move is your symbol! Let everyone know your abilities through the ultimate move. It's all so that other heroes can team up with you, make criminals wary, and make people believe in you. There is a certain reason why heroes shout the name of their ultimate move out loud." explain Mt Lady.

"Even though earlier, that woman was only thinking about how she looked in front of the camera." Mineta muttered.

"Now, let's continue the interview!" said Mt. Lady. Then one by one were interviewed. Everything went smoothly until it was Bakugo who made a fuss.

"Maybe we should teach Bakugo-kun how to avoid the media like you, Aizawa." Midnight said.

"No, right now he has to learn from someone." Aizawa said. Then it was Deku's turn. He became stiff when he went on stage and was interviewed. But when Mt.Lady started to talk about All Might, his nervousness disappeared and he immediately spoke fluently.

"Then lastly, Hero Kuroyuki." Call Mt. Lady.

Everyone immediately fell silent and saw Haku who was wearing his mask, come up to the stage.

"You look great out there."

"Please don't praise me. I'm just doing what I can do."

"But, I heard you always avoid reporters who want to interview you. What's your reason for avoiding them?"

"Because I don't like the media. They can get people to praise heroes when things are peaceful and heroes do their job properly. But they can also make heroes curse when heroes make mistakes and when things get critical, they will blame the heroes. I don't want to waste my precious time listening to other people's praise or curse." Haku said.

Haku's answer left everyone speechless. They never expected that Haku would speak like that.

Mt.Lady decided not to hear that and changed the subject. "T… then, what kind of hero do you want to be?"

"I want to be like Eraser Head. Doing secret work without many people knowing about it. That way, I can protect society from behind the scenes. I'm a shinobi, so I'm very fit and comfortable when my work isn't seen by others."

"Don't you like it when people see your actions?" asked Mt. Lady.

"I hate it."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not doing this to expect praise. My goal of doing this, is different from the existing heroes." Haku said.

"Then what is your goal in becoming a hero?"

"Hmm… secret. But, one day everyone will know. Now is not the time. I don't want to tell you." Haku said.

-A few days later-

"Merry Christmas!!" All students in grades 1-A held a party in the common room. Everyone wears green and red santa clothes except for Bakugo. And Haku wears a red santa costume complete with his hat.

"We were ordered to be interns again." Kirishima said.

"We must be the busiest first-year students at UA." Sato said.

"You two are going back to Ryukyu again, huh?" asked Jiro.

"Right. How about you, Jiro-chan?" Uraraka asked.

"Christmas is the best." Said Mineta who took pictures of the girls with his cell phone.

"Midoriya-kun, how about you? Are you still at the Nighteye Agency?" Iida asked.

"Right, that's what I thought, but… it looks like they can't because they're so busy. I had an apprenticeship with Gran Torino, but he couldn't at the moment either. That's why I'm still confused right now." Midoriya said.

"Oh, I see." Kirishima said.

"But, unlike before, since it's not an option, and now it's an obligation, the school will definitely introduce me to other people." Midoriya said.

"Bakugo, are you going to Jeanist?" asked Kirishima.

"Hah?!". Haku also recalled his plan with Hawks. Hawks had already told Haku that he had to do something to win the hearts of the LoV members. So Hawks attack Jeanist to get the hearts of the LoV members so that currently Jeanist's status is a missing person.

"I haven't decided yet." Bakugo replied.

"But there's a lot to offer you, right?" asked Kirishima.

"After the sports festival, you can go wherever you want." Kirishima said.

"I have no interest in learning from trash after all this time." Bakugo said.

"How about you, Yuki-kun?" asked Midoriya.

"Hmm? I will move with Anbu. Edgeshot said he had nothing left to teach me. Well, because basically I've been working with him all along even though I'm not an apprentice, so I'm a little ahead of you guys." Haku said.

"Ah… Haku is such a cheat. You are always in front of us." Kirishima said.

"Fufu… Don't worry. Sooner or later, you guys will catch up with me. After all, I don't intend to be a hero until I'm old. 5 years. I've decided to be a hero for 5 years. After that, I will retire and enjoy my life with my family." Haku said.

"WHAATT??!! Only five years? Why is that? Don't you love your status that you will get for those five years? Maybe you can become the top 3 greatest pro-Heroes in Japan, you know." Hagakure said. The others were also surprised and eager to hear Haku's reasoning.

"I told you, I want to live in peace and quiet with my family. Becoming a hero is not my goal. Hmm… that's right. Maybe I'll open a doll shop or a sweet shop when I grow up. I just want to live a simple, relaxed, and peaceful life. If I become a hero, I will always bear the burden of protecting society. I won't be able to relax while I'm still a hero. So, for the next 5 years, I will work hard so that no one else will ask for my services again when I retire." Haku said while drinking his tea.

"Hey! It's holy night! Don't just keep talking about school!" Mineta said annoyed.

"How dare you say that." Kaminari said.

"Never mind, what Mineta said is true. Let us eat!" Sato exclaimed while carrying a delicious roast turkey.

"It turns out that you can cook ordinary food!"

"Sorry we're late..." said Aizawa who suddenly came to open the door of the Class 1-A dormitory.

"Have you guys started yet?" asked Aizawa as he entered the dormitory. Then Eri came along with Haku's three wives. All of them are wearing red Santa costumes.

"Trick or… Treat…?" said Eri and Haku's three wives confused. What Haku's three wives and Eri have in common is that they both don't understand the customs or holidays that are commonly practiced by society in general.

"No. It's a different day." Aizawa said.

"Saint Eri-chan! Sasaki-san, Masami-san, and Hanami-san are also here!"

"So... So cute!" Uraraka exclaimed when she saw Eri.

"You girls look cute in that costume." said Haku as he approached his three wives and Eri.

"Re… really?" Sasaki asked embarrassed.

"Yes. You are so beautiful and cute. You too, Eri." Haku said. Haku's words embarrassed his three wives and made Eri happy.

"Go Devil! Go devil!" Eri said while throwing something.

"No. It's also another celebration." Aizawa said.

"Did Togata senpai also come?" asked Kirishima.

"Togata is with his classmates. There, have fun." Aizawa said while smiling at Eri.

"Yes." Eri said then left with the others.

"Cute..." Uraraka said.

"I colored eggs." Eri said while showing Haku two easter eggs that she dyed herself.

"Hahaha thank you. But it seems this is also for another celebration." Haku said while receiving the easter egg from Eri. Then Eri joined the others.

They also enjoyed the party happily. When exchanging gifts, Haku gets a frog-shaped green mirror gift, he doesn't have to bother guessing who the gift is from. Meanwhile Eri got a big white bunny doll from Haku. Mineta got the practice dummy from Masami, Kaminari got the bone knife from Hanami, and Iida got the barbell from Sasaki.

Haku couldn't help but laugh when he found out that his three friends had received unexpected gifts from his three wives even though they didn't know who had gifted them to them.

After the party was over, Eri, Haku's three wives, and Aizawa returned to the teachers' dormitory and all of the 1-A students cleaned up the remnants of their party. While tidying up, Haku looked at all of his friends and pondered. 'Maybe this will be our last party before the storm comes. I have to remember it well.' Haku thought then continued to clean up.
