The television in the faculty room then started broadcasting a news report on Pro Hero Rankings. The news reporter started talking about Deku.

Since that fateful day, even after losing his One For All Quirk, Deku continued to inspire the people by embodying the ultimate hero. Fortunately, with the help of his new armor, he can now take to the skies once again as a Pro Hero. He is still a teacher at U.A. High School and is juggling a hectic schedule. Nevertheless, he has been achieving astounding feats and receiving thunderous applause.
