More of a filler chapter this time around just to ease into the next big thing that I know people always look forward to. I'll be honest, I have no idea if that particular segment will take one larger chapter, or two. I guess I'll find out when I sit down to put them together before I understand better what exactly will happen, but a good part of me thinks it will end up being the latter. Either way, enjoy this weeks update for the time being and I will see you all again in a couple of weeks.


Kaori walked along with a calm expression on her face as she approached U.A. the next day. After enduring the first two days of school, between Aizawa's fitness tests and All Might's battle training, she felt like things couldn't possibly get more unexpected between the two teachers. As fate would have it however, her morning didn't exactly start out as calmly as she would like as soon as she turned the corner to approach the archway that lead to the school. Dozens of TV reporters and cameras were cluttered around the entrance, likely due to the massive media attention thanks to All Might now acting as one of the teachers at said school. The moment one of the reporters noticed her and the school uniform she was wearing, the crowd shifted to focus on her as she tried to force her way through to the gate.

"What's it like having All Might for a teacher?!"

Kaori groaned inwardly as she tried to ignore the question being repeated, albeit with a slightly different phrasing each time. She had always hated how the media wanted to drive their way into the personal lives of Heroes, and had always been thankful to her father for making it clear that when he was at home he was to be left alone when she was younger. Especially after one day where the press had decided to focus on his budding young daughter rather than the man himself.

That day had shown Kaori how much of a hornet's nest the media could be when they bombarded you with questions, never giving you enough time to respond to one thing before asking five more of you at once. The entire ordeal had brought the young girl to tears, something that her father had responded to very quickly by increasing his size to the point of standing seven feet tall and hovering over the crowd with a glare as he made it clear that his home life was to be left alone going forwards.

With a brief sigh of defeat, Kaori realized that the reporters wouldn't relent in any way unless she gave them some sort of answer before getting through. With a barely disguised grimace of disgust, she turned with a forced smile to the first person with a microphone that she could see – a younger looking woman with her hair pulled back into a ponytail.

"He's the number one Hero and he's teaching at U.A. What's there to get?" Kaori started, the blunt statement catching the lady off-guard for a moment before she pressed once more.

"Yes, but as a teacher, how IS All Might?"

"He teaches us how to be the heroes of the future. That's it. I don't get what kind of answer you expect from any of us since we've only been her for like two days." Kaori retorted as the mask fell and her face changed to one of disinterest. "If you really want an honest answer, try again in like a month or something when we actually have an idea ourselves. You're just wasting our time otherwise."

"Well!" The woman replied with a huff as she backed away from Kaori. "Clearly they don't teach you student's manners if this is the way you all act to a simple question."

"Maybe it's because you don't let us have any space to ourselves? It's no wonder some heroes try and avoid you guys."

With that, Kaori turned with a roll of her eyes as the woman spluttered amongst the crowd while her cameraman tried to calm her down. Looking through her peripherals as she did so she noticed a few other classmates approaching the gate, and walked away quickly as she wished them a silent apology as the media fell upon them in earnest.


"First things first. Yesterday's battle training seems to have gone well, save for a few case examples." Aizawa started as everyone sat silently in their seats. His eyes first angled to face Bakugou as he continued speaking. "Bakugou. Stop wasting your talents so much and grow up. This isn't a game." His eyes shifted only slightly as he addressed the person behind the spiky-haired blonde. "And Midoriya. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but you have potential if you can work past this constant destruction of your own body. Just trying isn't going to do it at this point in time." His eyes then returned to a sheet of paper in his hands before he addressed the class as a whole. "As for today, there's one thing that needs to be taken care of right off the bat. And that is…"

The whole room filled with a nervous tension as everyone expected some new bizarre thing that they would have to take care of that morning.

"Deciding on a class president."

Multiple voices rose up at once as many of Kaori's classmates practically leapt out of their seats stating that they should be the president. It was obvious that this position meant a lot more than the more mundane setting it had in the regular school system, as here it represented being a leader amongst aspiring Heroes. But that didn't mean just anyone could do it. Kaori sat calmly in her seat like some of the others in their class as she watched the more childish antics of some of her classmates while they practically pushed against each other in earnest. That was, until a clear and resounding voice echoed through the room.

"Quiet down, everyone!" The sound of Iida's voice resounded off the walls. Kaori turned her head with interest as she tried to see him through the throng of people in the middle of the room. "This is a task of immense responsibility and should in that case be treated as such through the trustworthiness of the candidate in question. Therefore, I believe that we should put this matter to a vote to determine who is most befitting of the position!"

While some voices put out their protest at the claim, stating that this was simply a classroom rather than an office of government, Kaori had to silently agree with Iida's assessment. While it would still turn it into somewhat of a popularity contest or series of people voting for themselves, only the people that get votes because others deem them more worthy would really be fitting for the position.

"I don't care how you all do it, just don't take too long." Aizawa stated without a care in the world as he climbed into his oversized sleeping bag and shifted so that he was lying on the floor.


By the time everyone was done voting, it was clear who the class believed was the most suited for the task as only two names had more than 1 vote allotted to them. Those being Izuku Midoriya and Momo Yaoyorozu. What was slightly more confusing…was that they both had the same number of votes at 3. Different voices spoke up as a majority of class sat in confusion as to what they were supposed to do.

"How are we supposed to determine who the class prez is when two people got the same number of votes?"

"Why not just share the duties between two people? That would work, wouldn't it?"

"Would it though? How do you even figure out splitting duties like that?"

Kaori groaned as she fought the urge to face plant her desk while everyone acted like chickens with their heads cut off. "Did anyone think to actually ask the two of them what THEY think?"

As one entity, the entire class turned to face Yaoyorozu and Midoriya, which consequently put Kaori directly in their line of sight as she sat right between the two of them. Suddenly the seat she had chosen didn't seem so smart in the long run.

"I'm just saying, no one is actually thinking to ask the two people that got the most votes what they think. Doesn't that make a little bit more sense?"

"You know…I think she has a point." Kirishima replied from his seat in the classroom.

"Yeah, but would either of them even want to share responsibility like that?"

"I may not have received a vote due to the cruel reality of office, but I believe we should let the two of them decide! It is the just thing to do in this scenario!" Iida exclaimed from his seat, even as he hung his head due to receiving zero votes.

"Kind of ironic coming from the guy who proposed the idea in the first place though…"

Everyone turned to look at the two top voted students expectantly, waiting for some sort of reply. Midoriya seemed frozen to his seat as Bakugou glared at him with a vengeance. Yaoyorozu appeared slightly disappointed, yet thoughtful as she held a hand to her chin in thought.

"I will admit, while I would have preferred the position myself, I can accept the task of sharing the responsibility with Midoriya."

"Good." Aizawa stated quickly as he shifted into and upright position and shuffled out of his cocoon. "So Midoriya and Yaoyorozu will be co-presidents for the time being unless things change in the future. With that out of the way, let's move onto today's lessons…"


Kaori nodded silently in thanks as she was handed a tray of food from Lunch Rush, her feet quickly carrying her away from the lineup as she looked around for a place to sit. As she did so, a hand tapped her on the shoulder, causing her to whirl around in surprise; barely holding back a shriek of surprise given how focused she had been on the tables sitting in the large hall. Her eyes widened as she realized who it was that had gotten her attention.

"Kendo?" Her eyes wandered to the person next to her as she did another double take. "And Shiozaki?"

"I was wondering how long it would take before we got a chance to talk to you again after the day of the Entrance Exam. It's a shame we didn't end up in the same class, you know." Kendo commented with a smile.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. But at least we didn't get completely split up." Kaori replied with a smile of her own.

"That's right. There was the boy from that day as well; Kirishima, right?"

Kaori nodded before speaking again. "Yep. Though I wouldn't have minded have the two of you in our class if only to shuffle out one or two less savory types. There's this one guy that is just obsessed with fighting and violence that I wonder how he even ended up in the Hero Course."

"I'd take that over the weirdo we ended up with. I swear, every time he opens his mouth it's like not a single decent thought exists in his mind. When we voted on a class president, he tried using a rule that the girl's skirts had to be shorter as a way for him to gain popularity." All three girls shuddered at the thought – Kaori as she tried to imagine how depraved someone could be, the other two because of the look in his eyes as he had stated such a thing. "Either way, I ended up as the class president, so there's no worry about THAT happening anytime soon. What about yourself?"

Kaori shook her head sharply with a overly-dramatic look of fear. "Nothing like that for me, thanks. I get that it's more important than what we would have had in elementary, but it still feels like more of a popularity contest than anything to me. No offense, but I'm keeping my interests solely on being a Hero for now. I don't care if I'm not the most popular person around."

"Well said." Shiozaki nodded with a small smile of her own. "We should let our good actions speak for us rather than pander to the whims of others."

"I don't know if I would go THAT far, but I can agree with the first part." Kaori remarked after a moment of contemplation. "Anyways, we should probably eat, huh?"

"That would probably be a good idea."

And so, the three of them found a table with some empty space on it so that they could catch up a bit on the previous two days. Kirishima and Mina eventually joined them as they spotted Kaori and had walked over after getting their own food, Kaori and Kirishima quickly introducing Mina to the other students from Class 1-B as they all conversed amongst the five of them.

That is…until an alarm suddenly started blaring loudly.

"THIS IS A SCHOOLWIDE ALERT. SECURITY LEVEL 3 HAS BEEN BROKEN. ALL STUDENTS, PLEASE EVACUATE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION."

"Security Level 3? The heck is that?" Kirishima wondered aloud as a look of realization dawned on Kendo's face.

"It means someone's broken into the school! I remember reading it in the school's handbook that they sent everyone!"

Kaori, Kirishima, and Mina all shuffled awkwardly for a moment as they hadn't fully read or in some cases even touched much of the student handbook that they had received given how early in the year it was. Regardless, it meant that they need to move. And fast.

"Everyone stay together!" Kaori called over the noise of students panicking while she tried to stay with the other four. "Call out if you get lost in the crowd!"

"I don't think we need to worry about that with how squished together everyone is!" Kirishima barked back over the chaos. "I can barely tell where my body starts and someone else's ends with how tightly packed everyone is!"

"Couldn't you just try using your Quirk to harden yourself and get a better idea?" Mina asked from nearby.

"I could, but it could hurt someone if they're pressed too tightly against me in the meantime. I can't really control how hard it is at the moment, just more of an on and off switch!"

"Well, we'll save it for an emergency if it becomes necessary! I just wish this crowd could actually move forward rather than getting stuck on everything! At this rate we're not getting anywhere!" Kendo grumbled as she tried to wiggle herself a little bit of breathing room around her, to no avail.

"Wait…our Quirks! That's it!" Kaori remarked as a dawning of understanding crossed her face. "Kendo! Your Quirk lets you enlarge your hands, right?" Kaori was able to make out the nodding of said redheads face as she looked over to Shiozaki. "And Shiozaki, yours lets you extend and manipulate your hair however you want, correct?" Another nod of the head was all she need before she shifted to face everyone as they stood crammed together. "Then here's what we do. Shiozaki can lift me on top of Kendo's hands since I don't have enough space to make projections of my own, and then I'll use the extra visibility up there to try and get people's attention. Kirishima, you need to brace yourself and act as a shield for Kendo so that she doesn't get knocked around and cause me to fall, got it?"

"I think I can manage that."

"What about me?" Mina asked with an eager look on her face.

An apologetic look crossed Kaori's face as she turned to face the pink girl. "Sorry Mina. Even as slime your Quirk would likely just cause a pileup of people rather than helping make room or anything if you made a slick. Can't chance it."

"Eh, was worth a shot. Just like Heroes, not everyone can help in every situation." The pink girl shrugged her shoulders and continued to smile back at her. "Maybe I should have voted for you instead of myself for the president position, though."

"I'm kind of having the same thought to be honest." Kirishima remarked. "I kind of feel selfish for voting for myself, to be honest."

"It doesn't matter right now we need to try and calm everyone down. Is everyone ready?" A brief exchange of nods was all the answer she needed before readying herself. "Aright, Shiozaki. Lift me u-"

Her words were rapidly cut off as a person sized object rocketed across the hallway and collided with the wall over the doorway. Upon closer inspection it appeared to be one of her classmates, Iida, as he stood precariously on the door-frame minus his trademark glasses.

"Everyone remain calm! It's simply the media! There is no reason to panic and behave in a manner that is insulting to this esteemed institution!"


After a brief time where everyone shuffled back to their homerooms, met with a brief farewell to Kendo and Shiozaki with the promise that they would get together again at some point, Class 1-A gathered once more as Midoriya and Yaoyorozu addressed the class as a whole.

"Before we decide on the other members of our student council, I believe Midoriya has something he wished to state to the class." Yaoyorozu addressed everyone before shifting to the side to give Midoriya the full attention of everyone.

The shorter boy shuffled awkwardly as all eyes turned to him in an instant. "After the events of this morning, I don't believe that I deserve one of the positions as class president for you all. So in that regard…I believe that Iida deserves the position more than me." The nervous green-haired boy's posture suddenly straightened as a more serious look rose on his face. "After seeing what he did in the heat of the moment when the security alarm went off, I believe that he fills the position better than I would."

Comments of approval and acknowledgement filled the room as people voiced their support of Iida's rise to the position without any mention of how he had zero votes to start. Kaori was among those giving their own silent approval as she turned to gaze out the windows and onto the school grounds. She agreed that, despite how much of a workaholic Iida appeared, he did still care about the wellbeing of the class. A trait very similar to her own mother that allowed her to be where she was as one of the most sought after temps due to her versatile Quirk that allowed her to work multiple different kinds of jobs. However, it didn't make her regret her vote for Yaoyorozu in the slightest. Both of them deserved the position, and if they could properly juggle the duties laid out for them, then they would have no issues whatsoever.

For the remainder of that day, everything proceeded smoothly as they all continued their classes. However, their week was hardly done with them, as the next day would test the resolve of them all. Whether they liked it or not.
