It was a chilly morning in Okio, it also rained cats and dogs. Above all, it's the end of the First Semester for the First Years in Eirei Academy.

Of the eighteen students that competed in the first semester's end evaluation, four students stood out with exceptional scores. The Hero Commission, the ASEAN Hero Association and the World Hero Association were impressed on the show they put up during the Sports Festival which was actually a hidden evaluation exam. Two of which came from Eirei Academy's Class 1-B's; Yashia Aurora and Lo Fu Yeng Hong while the other two are each from different schools, Raffles Hero Institute and Orchard Hero Academy, the rivals of Eirei.

The participants to the public entry had their Hero Names broadcasted instead of their birth name. Moreover, the Ministry of Hero Education found favor in Eirei's First Year Students based on Their outstanding performance during the Sports Festival | Surprise Semester End Evaluation Exam, the Ministry of Hero Education thereby granted the freshmen, internships to Hero Agencies immediately which normally would only be accessible in their second year and third year. Principal Nadia Fikir also announced everyone that despite the good news they received, the students were given half of their Summer Vacation out of high demand from Hero Agencies, truly it was a big opportunity of a lifetime.

Onward And Beyond.

Just like the Singaporean National Anthem, regardless of the conflict, the motto means to keep pushing forward. To endeavor further and cast down all limitations upon the unity of individuals into collective power, this doesn't mean complacency. Individuals are to shine but not be treated as the genuine article, the Hero System of Singapore rejects celebritificartion of Heroes to the core. Teamwork as pillars of society is the key to enriching the hero society and its future generations.

Already, the most appealing Heroes was in the midst of Class 1B, the name's the Fiery Passion Hero: Zeal. Outside of Singapore, in the ASEAN rankings Zeal's labeled to be Singapore's number one and strongest hero, on the other hand, he humbly rejects every chance he get surrounding the hype and awkward around his wife.

More importantly, both Heroes open their agencies to the students.

Zeal overheard the conversation that his daughter was having with her friends. He watched the Sports Festival and wasn't pleased with the performance they demonstrated, nonetheless he wanted them and wasted no time announcing that the entire 1-B will is granted internships at the Zeal Hero Agency.

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE WE ARE GOING TO MALAYSIA IN A FEW MINUTES! YOUR HOMEROOM TEACHER TALIA IS NO EXCEPTION!" Zeal cannot help but flex his authority passionately, his wife has already bought the entire class plane tickets to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This whole thing was a surprise to the students but it was planned from behind the scenes as the Principal permitted Zeal to take Talia's class with him to Malaysia.

Mei could feel nothing but awkwardness from her lively father. She was certainly happy but to be so grandiose and chewing the scenery just like that really would warrant her jealousy from people and other worldly expectations and peer pressure.

To add fire, Zeal chose five students that would directly intern by his side.

"Mei — Do better than your classmates, intern along side me, my daughter. Lou Fu Yeng Hong, this is perfect, I worked along side with your father over the years and he'd be happy to see you because I'm working on a case with him right now. Mizo Aberashi, your quirk reminds me of All Might and I'm taking you in, Aurora Yashia, your parents must've been proud seeing your non-combat quirk grant you first place in the Sports Festival, I'm taking you in and your parents will be working along side me. As for the fifth student, let's see..." Mei sighed from being embarrassed.

"Told ya, he'd bring us. I would have been totally find with this, if he just held back his excitement!" She said to her friends.

"Your honors Talia, anything you need to say to your class?" Zeal asked Talia.

"Singapore is a hypocrite of their practices, to think Heroes are still glorified...he thinks he's the hot shot!." The raspy voice of a youthful man, watched a holographic televised footage of Zeal's restoration of the Twin Towers in Malaysia while saving people.

The footage showed Zeal exhibited otherworldly flame control, he shoot flames from his eyes and burned the debris to ash while igniting controlled flames of flight to send the civilians to safety. The Blazing Sidekicks and the Passion Siblings also contributed assisting the people by evacuating, crowd control and suppression of worries.

In a matter of seconds, Zeal was able to propelled himself from Malaysia to Singapore.

Zeal dealt with a Nomu Speedster on the run.

The Nomu Speedster was absorbing momentum but Zeal increased his momentum by igniting himself in blue flames.

While fighting the Nomu, he received a phone call from his agency. Cybercrime was on the run as well, Zeal instructed the Singapore Merlyon Cyber Association to counter the hacker who was stealing databanks of EZ-Link credits.

The tenacity he demonstrated was phenomenal, not only Zeal multitasked to apprehend the hacker but he defeated the Speedster Nomu by outspeeding it without causing public damage.

Zeal made himself faster than the speed of a comet. He roasted that Nomu by sucker punching it to space.

"With a Hero in his prime, there's no way we can beat that!" The villain who despised Zeal, altered the vectors of the AI holograms and destroyed his room, white flames that were hotter than blue flames, had everything frozen.

He then received a phone call.

"Patience, Kaku Enzou will burn by your hand, Thermohaul. He's like a rubicks cube that needs tuning. Surely I say, you will crack the code."

"Forgive me Master, I just can't stop the contradiction."

"Do not worry, I have the Salakau prepared for you. Detgif Inc. is yours to run...Huang Heiren. Distribute those Quirks to the Quirkless and Quirk buyers."

The villain whose flames are hotter than Zeal yet cold as the winter, Temperature Villain; Thermohaul!
