Thanks. I was in the middle of getting my Provisional Hero License. There have been a lot of serious villain attacks lately, especially against the students at my school. The licenses would let us intervene and fight villains when people are in danger, so it would go a long way in letting us defend ourselves.

Plus...well. The exams that the hero schools and the Hero Public Safety Commission come up with can be a bit extreme.
