Inko and I didn't fall asleep until morning, doing pleasant things until the alarm clock rang, reminding me that I had to rush to the academy on my day off, no justice! I left the girl to rest with two other sleepyheads, took a cold shower and went on going through the papers with Momo, who kept asking if I had fallen asleep there and chuckling. Her mood, compared to yesterday, changed dramatically, and I liked it.

When I got home, I immediately passed out until the next morning. Until my enjoyment was once again interrupted by the alarm clock, reminding me of the academy.

Inko was gone by the time I got back. She hadn't given me a final answer, so I could contact her through Mitsuki if I needed to, for now. Those two drinking buddies didn't bring up what happened that night. That was fine, they didn't complain - it was good enough, maybe the games with their butts would happen again.

The class was noisy as always, with discussions of the festival in full swing, until Aizawa appeared and displayed the number of invitations on the blackboard. The first place, with more than five thousand invitations, went to me. Even yesterday I learnt that - I was sorting and sorting them... Second place went to Hoshi, who got more than four thousand, third place went to Katsumi with three and a half, and the rest of the total amounted to about one and a half thousand.

- Now, you will choose your code names or hero names, and she will be the one to judge you. - The teacher languidly stretched out and climbed into his sleeping bag, while Midnight appeared in the classroom doorway.

- Hello children! - The 18+ heroine in the tight outfit entered the classroom, and all the boys drooled, as did I. Eh, if it wasn't for her character.....

The selection began, which turned into a blatant circus of going through lousy options like 'Queen of Aliens' or 'Queen of Bombs' from Mino and Katsumi respectively. There were some pretty cute ones like 'Froppy' and 'Uravity' from Tsuyu and Ochako, they're cute, but... Ouch! I, by the way, also thought about this question for a while, but, playing all this heroic nonsense, I don't want to and just chose my name, I'm already used to it and to some extent I like it.

- Toru! - I came out with a sign even before this trick was used by Hoshi and the whole class started booing me. I don't want to be 'Phoenix' or 'Flaming Bird'. It's so creepy it makes me want to go up against the wall!

- Are you gonna pick a name? Are you sure? - said Midnight standing next to me, while the class noisily began to go through the cool names for me, that's just the rubbish that recently listed, the imagination is going straight!... - Why don't you go with 'Noon'? - leaning towards me, whispered heroine and slipped something into her pocket, - after class, call me! - and I stood there like a dumbfounded by what the girl said. How? How did she know that?

- Well, kids! - the teacher decided to quiet the noise. - Every hero chooses his own name, unless, of course, the society itself names the hero. So Toru, that leaves Toru! - and instead of noise, there were sighs of disappointment throughout the class. - What are you standing there for? - Midnight shoved me, - give the others a place to stand.

I thought about what had happened for a long time, while all my classmates were discussing the most important topic of their future heroic career - who and where will go to internship. Well, I'm a fallen hero - my choice is so obvious that I'm too lazy to even tell you, of course it'll be Rumi Usagiyama or Bunny Heroine: Miruko. I was still hesitant for a while when I saw the invitation from Prospector. After all, in a bunny girl I'll miss the canonical meeting with the heroes' killer, but hey, noseless maniacal killer or sexy bunny girl? Sory, the first option just doesn't stand a chance. Okay, that's later, how the hell did Midnight know who I was? Arizu or Mitsuki? Definitely not. Lady Mountain? Maybe, but what's her angle?

That's how my day went on, but it didn't get me anywhere. Finished class, healed the Almighty and, having dialled the heroine, was instructed to stomp off to the teacher's lounge.

- Before you start blackmailing me, - standing in a secluded corner, asked the heroine standing next to me, - who told you this?

- He-he-he-he, do you want to go straight to 'you'? - The girl licked her lips, devouring me with her gaze. I would even enjoy it, but alas, I am well aware of her dominant character, her love for whips and her favourite phrase about 'punishment', - Well, as you wish... Ah, to your question, there is a very simple answer - if you decide to tell someone something secret, be kind - make sure that no one is listening! - She emphasised every syllable in a teasing tone.

- So you have no proof! - I was about to leave when I was held by her hand.

- There may be no proof, but I'm not the last man in the heroic world, if the information that I know will get to the right place ...

- What do you want for your silence? - I'm talking to a nice-looking girl, but I haven't felt anything except cold sweat on my back and goosebumps all over my body. I'd better finish this pleasant conversation quickly!

- Heh-heh-heh! Or maybe I want to marry a young lad like you!

- Very funny joke,' I grimaced at her words, 'but now seriously.

- Oh! - Midnight exhaled sadly. And how he plays, oh, how he plays! - Come on, you'll cure me of any wounds for a year too?

- All right, - I nodded and freed myself from her grip and went somewhere, as far away from this sadomaso-heroine as possible. I'll have to put up with her antics for the rest of my training, and then she'll go to hell with her conditions!

***

When the young man left the heroine alone, Midnight did not return to the teacher's room for some time, thinking about the conversation.

- Why did he take my every word so negatively? - the girl said in a low voice, - and maybe I was talking seriously? Midnight and Noon announced their engagement, Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sounds! We'll play Kayama Toru with you again!
