Hero Names
Premise: After the Sports Festival, it's time for the Hero Course Students to pick their supposed Hero names. Specifically, Class 1-C.
It was the beginning of the week after the Sports Festival. Every Hero Course Students are bustling with the excitement of the week prior. While Class 1-A was having talks about this too, Class 1-C was no exception to this.
All of the students are talking about the Sports Festival. Unsurprisingly, they were all talking about the attention during morning homeroom.
"So many people talked to me on my way here!" Hiromu told the others. "It was kind of overwhelming!"
"You're telling me!" Miku replied. "Everyone was so riled up about this."
"Well, not as much as Mr. Genius Physicist over there." Akaza joked.
The students then all turned their attention over to Sento, who was just messing around with a Rubik's Cube.
"I mean, Sento's the only one out of us that made it to the Top 4." Takeru commented. "Of course, people are going to overblow it."
The class went on about all of the morning ordeals they went through with the public. However, Fumiko quickly told them that homeroom will be beginning shortly. As such, all of them quickly went back to their seats just as Star Saber entered the room.
"Morning, class." He said.
"Good morning, Mr. Saber!" The entire class called.
Star Saber then set his papers down on the desk, and then addressed the students.
"As you all know, you all delivered quite the spectacular job at the Sports Festival." He congratulated. "Consequently, the Heroes who had seen the broadcast have been thinking about your internships."
"Now normally, these internships start from the second and third years after gaining some experience and become real assets to the Heroes." Star Saber went on. "But to extend offers to first-years like yourselves… it just shows how interested they are in your potential."
"Now, here's our offer choices." He said, finally turning to the board.
He grabbed a remote and pressed the button. Then, all of Class 1-C students' names were listed down the offers. Unsurprisingly, Sento got a large number of offers, going up to about 3600. Everyone else got more or less the same amount of offers, up around 2000 to 300.
"It appears that Sento has gotten quite the repertoire among the pros." He commented.
"Um, Mr. Saber?" Fumiko asked. "What's all this about?"
"Actually, this coincides with our activity for today." Star Saber went on. "You will be choosing your Hero Codenames."
At first, no one had reacted. However, Star Saber gave it a few seconds. Then, he smiled as every student cheered.
"Alright!" Sora smiled. "We finally get to choose what we're called!"
"This is going to be fun." Shotarou admitted.
"I hope I can think up a good one…" Ryotarou muttered.
Star Saber let his class soak in the excitement, and then spoke up.
"Now, now, settle down, class." He said. "While this may be a simple activity, you have to mindful of what you have to choose."
"I'll say this now." He went on. "This may only be temporary. However, if you decided to make them your permanent names, and the names are not up to your liking-"
"You'll have hell to pay later!" shouted a voice as the door flung open.
Everyone tuned to see who it was, and almost immediately, all of the male students blushed. Enter Midnight, the R-Rated Heroine. Walking extremely suggestively, she casually came into the homeroom of Class 1-C.
"What you choose today may become what you may be called for life!" She smiled. "You may be stuck with something utterly indecent!"
"…yes." Star Saber added. "As such, Midnight will be assessing your name suggestions, much like she did with 1-A."
"While I may be the third Hero in the nation, there are just some things that I'm not really good at." He added cheekily.
Class 1-C had a good chuckle at that. And on that note, Star Saber casually moved to the back of the room.
(In Star Saber/Ryusei Yukaru's case)
"A-are you serious, sir?!" A young-looking Star Saber spluttered.
Ryusei stood up to a larger looking Pro Hero. That Pro Hero was dressed in a red armor, and he was wearing some blue pants. He also had some kind of wheels on the back of his lower legs.
"Why, you seem rather surprised." He commented.
"Well…" Ryusei admitted. "It's just… a name like that…"
The Pro Hero chuckled as he walked over to a wall. He grabbed a large sword and showed it to Ryusei.
"Don't fret, young Hero." He said. "You're afraid that you can't live up to what my sword has done, aren't you?"
"Well…" Ryusei replied. "Yes."
The Pro Hero chuckled. He then dropped his sword onto Ryusei, who caught the sword. The sword was pretty heavy, so Ryusei gently placed it on the ground.
"Don't be." The Pro Hero said. "You are my legacy. Giving its name as your Hero codename shows how much faith I have in you."
"Only you can live up to my expectations." The Pro Hero went on. "Be proud, and never be afraid!"
Ryusei looked at the large sword that he just placed on the ground. He then carefully lifted it up. Now, oddly enough, it became a lot lighter.
"Now, your training is complete, young Ryusei Yukaru…" The Pro Hero declared. "No… Star Saber!"
Ryusei then raised the large sword into the air. He swung it around a bit, and then sheathed it into his back.
"Thank you… Master Ginrai." He replied gratefully.
(Flasback end)
With that little trip down memory lane ending, Star Saber just leaned on the back wall. Midnight then handed the entire class some whiteboards and markers. All of the class then slowly began to scribble down what they wanted to be called.
A little bit of time passed, then Midnight clapped her hands. Every student slowly looked up at her.
"Alright, who's coming first?" She started.
'Wait, we're presenting these?!' Everyone thought. 'But who'd be crazy enough to present this?!'
Just as that thought was passed, Kuroto, one of the students, stood up from his seat and walked to the front. He breathed in, and then spoke.
"I shall be…" He declared. "The Eternal Hero… Dangerous Zombie!"
He finished it off cackling away like a lunatic. The entire class just made a sweat-drop, while Midnight just took a step back from Kuroto's cackle.
'How are we not surprised by this?' The entire class thought.
Midnight finally recovered from her shock, and just slowly approached Kuroto.
"Naming yourself after your Quirk…" She started. "Not a bad idea!"
Kuroto stopped cackling, and then just went back. Midnight did have a thought suddenly.
'This is going a lot more smoothly than 1-A…' She thought to herself.
Then, following from that, Akira stood up next. He walked up to the front of the class, and revealed them his name.
"I shall be…" He smiled. "The Hotshot Hero Hot Rôd!"
"Looks okay…" Midnight commented. "Just make sure not to emphasize the 'o' on 'Rod', okay?"
"Oui, oui, mademoiselle Midnight!" Akira replied.
Then, as Akira went back to his seat, Sora took his place at the front of the class.
"Soaring Heroine…" She smiled. "Jetfire!"
"Jetfire, huh?" Midnight asked. "Would that be a reference to the Sky-High Hero Skyfire?"
"Well, yes." Sora replied, rubbing the back of her head. "He's an old family friend of mine. Actually, he was my inspiration to become a hero."
"Well, naming yourself after your role model does put a lot of effort on your shoulders!" Midnight warned. "Make sure you live up to it!"
"Of course!" Sora agreed, saluting for some odd reason.
And with the first three students out of the way, everyone else went pretty much the same all the way.
"I'll be the Buzzing Heroine!" Sakura said. "Bumblebee!"
"Like honey, sweet and cute!" Midnight agreed with a thumbs up.
"Densha Hero… Liner!" Ryotarou announced timidly.
"…Okay!" Midnight smiled.
"Sticking Hero Stix!" Shoutarou declared.
"Sounds fun!" Midnight replied.
"Double Gamer Hero!" Takeru shouted. "XX (Double X)!"
"How creative!" Midnight approved.
"Amazon." Jin said.
"Hm." Midnight commented. "Are you okay with it?"
Jin nodded at that, and Midnight had to approve.
"Gattai Hero Nexus!" Akaza announced.
"Super!" Midnight smiled.
"X-RAY (Parkour Hero) & VAV (Slow-Mo Heroine)!" Ginko and Rei called out together.
"Uh… alright!" Midnight stuttered a bit.
"Physics Hero Build!" Sento said with approval. "Taking from the English verb 'to build'!"
"Sounds smart!" Midnight responded.
"Sekai Hero!" Misao said. "World!"
"Sounds worldly!" Midnight approved.
"Kaixa." Kusaka just stated.
"Is that a play on 'Kaiser'?" Midnight asked.
"Let's got with that." Kusaka replied bluntly.
Midnight held her chin, but approved nonetheless.
"Poison Hero!" Tsurugi called out. "Stinger!"
"Sounds poisonous… in the good way!" Midnight replied.
"Kuroto Hero DiEnd!" Daisuke smiled with a finger gun.
"…okay!" Midnight replied.
"Blade Heroine Reacular!" Kasumi smiled.
Midnight gave a simple thumbs up.
"Racing Hero Formula!" Fumiko replied.
"Fast and furious!" Midnight approved
"Spike Hero Quill!" Hiromu announced.
"Nice!" Midnight smiled.
"And last, but certainly not least…" Miku announced. "Symphonic Heroine… Melody!"
And with Midnight approving her name, all of Class 1-C chose their Hero Codenames. Star Saber quickly walked back to the front of his classroom and stood upfront as Midnight just stretched beside her.
"Alright, now that's out of the way, use your breaktime to decide your internships." Saber explained. "Even those that didn't get any offers, you can choose from the list that are offering places."
Then, Saber quickly handed out the lists to all of his students. Then, the lunch bell rang. Midnight and Star Saber left the students decide who where they're going to intern at.
