To those of you that favorited, reviewed and/or followed: Thank you very much!
Vedahzii: I've been following the Anime for the most part and honestly, I can't remember that far back in the manga 🙁. As for terrorizing, there will definitely be more in the future, although I don't know how far that will be going at the moment. Hehe.
Hitler's Moustache: I haven't quite decided when I'll be doing that but I can tell you for sure that it won't be too soon.
SmexyBananas: Thank you! To be honest, when I first started writing I wasn't sure if it would turn out very well (I'm still not very sure actually... Haha), but I'm glad that people have been enjoying this as much as I have!
E-Kingmoney18: I didn't really want to skip over the fights so I randomly picked the teams and made them fight pretty much... Though I'm not sure it was my best idea, as it's given me some writer's block... I feel like Mineta is always planning something perverted, %100 of the time xD. I didn't know there was a limit to how many reviews you could post a chapter. .-.
Sorry for this chapter taking so long! I was pretty busy this week. This is my first time writing a story so any constructive criticism would be nice! I hope you enjoy the story! Follow, favorite, review and all that stuff.
Disclaimer: I only own OC/Himiko's thoughts, actions and the plot of this story.
Warning: Swearing from Bakugo? Is this even necessary?

Chapter 12: Class Representatives.
Rep·re·sen·ta·tive (reprəˈzen(t)ədiv): a person chosen or appointed to act or speak for another or others, in particular.
When we reached the door with a 'Nurse's Office' sign, All Might stood behind me while I went in first, likely expecting to be scolded.
"Hiya, baa-chan!" I greeted cheerfully after slowly sliding the door open and entering, All Might sheepishly walking in behind me.
"Good afternoon, Himiko-tan. And as for you, All Might. The school year has just begun, and he's already been in here three times! Why didn't you stop him, All Might?" She scolded, as though she might have with a small child caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
"I apologize, Recovery Girl." He bowed his head.
"What are you apologizing to me for? On top of his total exhaustion, he was here just yesterday. I can't treat him all at once. I did first-aid treatment already, so after the IV is finished, we can only wait for his body to heal slowly overnight." She reported dutifully before complaining to All Might once again. "Jeez, I know he's one of your favorites and that you passed on your powers to him, but that doesn't mean you should spoil him!"
"There is nothing I can say to that. Because I wanted to consider his feelings, I hesitated to stop the training match. Even so... Will you please not talk about One For All so loudly?"
"Yes, yes, Natural-Born Hero-sama. Symbol of Peace-sama."
As they started their discussion, I began boiling some water with Chiyo's electric kettle as well as preparing three cups, placing tea bags in them, before I pulled out a chair for myself to sit to the side of the two of them.
"My injury and this form of mine are common knowledge among the U.A. teachers and a certain group of pros, but the secret of my Quirk, One For All, is known only to the people in this room, the principal, a close friend, and my old teacher."
"I know it's not like you want to rest your laurels at the top, but is being a 'natural-born hero' or the 'Symbol of Peace' really that important?"
"If I no longer am, then the superhuman society will be seized by evil. This is the responsibility of those of us with this power."
"If that's the case, then it's even more important for you to learn what it means to guide someone."
"Yes, ma'am."
As they finished talking the kettle had also finished boiling the water, so I got up and poured it into the cups before serving one to each of them and sitting back down to drink my own. The three of us made small talk while drinking our tea before All Might left, not forgetting to give me a slip of paper excusing me from the final homeroom of the day and taking back the earpiece that he had given me earlier. I checked the clock to see that it was already three in the afternoon and the rest of the class was likely ready to be excused by Aizawa already.
I pulled up my chair to the right side of Izuku's bed, moving the IV drip closer to the head of the bed, and laid my head down on the side of it, deciding to get some rest until he woke up, since Chiyo was still busy with paperwork. Or whatever it was she did other than healing students. Even though I didn't work as hard as All Might usually made me, I still felt a little tired, as though the day had dragged on for three episodes. Not that I'm in an anime or any- oh wait.
I lifted my head before placing my arms on the bed and resting my head on my arms instead, so my back wouldn't be quite as sore. Hopefully. I closed my eyes and quickly found myself drifting off, my thoughts not bouncing around all over the place for once. Just... for a few minutes...
"...ahhh... It's late afternoon...?"
"Are you awake?" Chiyo questioned.
"Khuh?!"
I awoke to Izuku gasping and something pulling away from my arm, although I was only half asleep since I could remember what they had said just before. Or is that me dreaming of what had happened originally? Too confusing, forget it. I raised up my head and rubbed my eyes with the palms of my hands before looking towards Izuku and giving him a small wave. He still seemed to be in shock from having Chiyo in his face when he woke up, as his mouth was still hanging open.
Once he overcame his shock he slowly sat up and glanced at me before turning to face Chiyo completely. She finished her treatment on him for the day making him wear an arm sling for his casted arm, leaving his bandaged one free.
"That's all for today's treatment. Come back again tomorrow, okay?" She said he was free to go and that he should come back the next day before basically kicking the two of us out.
We slowly walked back towards class while he hung his head slightly, letting out a sigh every once in a while. To our left were the tall windows lining the school, letting in the orange glow of the late afternoon sun while we made our way back to class. While we were walking, I tried to talk to Izuku a couple times but he seemed to be in his own little world, so I just let him be as he let out occasional sighs.
"Haaaah."
Izuku turned his head and looked past me out the windows while making his worried state evident on his face, likely expecting some form of punishment from Aizawa. As we arrived back at the classroom Izuku slowly opened the sliding door while letting out another sigh. When he opened the door a cluster of students surrounded us causing him to let out an exclamation of surprise. I had forgotten that this had ever happened, causing me to be just as surprised as Izuku at the sudden volume of students surrounding us.
"Oh, Midoriya's here! Good work!"
"Woah!"
"Man, I don't know what you were saying during the match, but you were fired up!"
"I can't believe you fought evenly with Bakugo, who had the most villain points in the entrance exam!"
"You did a good job dodging!"
"From what little I saw of you, you were far from elegant, but-"
"You did a good job dodging!"
"H-huh?" Being bombarded by Eijiro, Sero, Mina and Yuga, Izuku let out a noise of confusion
"Eh? Why's everyone still here? Sword-kun?" I questioned in surprise.
"I'm Kirishima Eijiro. As for why we're here, we're all going over the training together right now." Before responding to me, he gave a thumb up to Izuku while he smirked wildly and then proceeded to use that thumb to point at Sero. Sero took that chance to introduce himself and everyone else followed, taking turns to introduce themselves.
"I'm Sero Hanta."
"I'm Aoyama Yu-"
"I'm Ashido Mina! You did a good job dodging!"
"I'm Asui Tsuyu. Call me Tsuyu-chan."
"Um... Er..."
"I'm Mineta!" As they chaotically introduced themselves to Izuku, and I guess myself as well, Mineta jumped in out of nowhere while I heard Yuga talking nonsense in the background.
"-Where the heck did you pop out from?"
"-I am Aoyama Yuga. I am a man who never stops shining."
Soon enough Tenya started scolding someone, which unexpectedly wasn't us for being too loud, but rather Tokoyami who was sitting on a desk. "Tokoyami-kun! That desk is not a chair. Get off immediately."
"It's not that big a deal, is it?"
"Wh-?!"
"What's with those hands, anyway?"
"You people... I cannot condone actions that disrespect the desks the great men and women who are our upperclassmen once used!" As Tenya lectured them, using his usual crazy hand motions, Izuku adopted an awkward smile on his face.
"You're too loud." I heard someone say in the background, even quieter than Yuga, who was still being spoken over.
While everyone that had gathered next to us switched their attention to the cause of the disruption one by one, I let out a small laugh, rubbing the back of my head before whispering to Izuku. "Aren't you glad you have so many friends now, Izuku-chan?"
He didn't respond to me but he did turn to face me before shooting a huge smile at me and nodding his head. Just when we thought all the commotion was over, Denki and Ochaco came in from the back entrance to the classroom, carrying a bunch of books, and he asked Ochaco if she wanted to hang out.
"Hey, Uraraka, wanna grab a bite to eat sometime? What do you like?"
"Mochi—Ah! Wait, Deku-kun, she didn't heal your injuries?" As she unintentionally crushed Denki's hopes, she rushed over to us after seeing Izuku, worried that his injuries still hadn't been completely healed.
"Oh, uh, it's because of how much stamina I have, and..."
"Huh?"
"Um, Uraraka-san, more importantly... Where is Kacchan?"
"Oh, we all tried to stop him, but he went home just now without saying anything." After hearing that Izuku adopted a serious expression and dashed out of the room, hoping to catch up to Bakugo.
Wait... Didn't he say some really unnecessary things to him originally?! Ughhh! Should I stop him? Screw it! I dashed after Izuku, jumping down the stairs to gain on him and keeping pace with him once I caught up, not forgetting to remind him about what he shouldn't say.
"Izuku-chan! I know you really want to but I'm not sure you should tell him anything that could give away One for All!"
"Ah... I'll... There's still something I need to tell him no matter what, Himiko-san. I'll make sure to be as vague as possible when it comes to that, okay?"
"I suppose that's as good as I'll get out of you. Haha. Good luck, Izuku-chan!" I relented easily, leaving it in his hands.
I gave him a hard pat on the back as I slowed down and he stumbled slightly, but caught himself, continuing his run to catch up with Bakugo. I came to a stop and leaned against the railing by the window as I looked out to see Bakugo slowly walking away from the building, towards the front gate.
He came to a stop just as I saw Izuku run out from the entrance, likely because he was calling Bakugo's name, though it's not like I could hear. From up here, and with no audio, I could barely tell what was happening but, for the most part, it looked the same as it had originally been. Hopefully minus Izuku unintentionally giving away the secret of One For All.
Soon enough the other girls that had stayed late caught up to me and watched alongside me as Izuku and Bakugo had their conversation from ten feet apart. After Izuku finished his piece Bakugo looked at him like he was an idiot before turning around fully and lowering his head. As he started his rant he kept his eyes covered and thrusted his palm down a few times in frustration before finally making some kind of declaration while he had tears in his eyes. I really wish I could hear what was going on down there...
Finally, Bakugo turned around and began leaving once more, but just as he reached the gate, All Might rushed out and grabbed his shoulders while yelling loud enough that we could hear him from inside the building. "There he is~! Young... Bakugo!"
Sadly, I couldn't hear him after that, but it was still a little funny to see Bakugo basically glare him off. Next to me, the rest of their girls speak their thoughts on what they had just witnessed.
"What was that?"
"The fated battle between men."
"What Chaco-chan said!"
"It looked like Midoriya-chan was just giving excuses one-sidedly, though."
"The fated battle between men!"
"Yeah!"
As the girls started heading back up the stairs and to the classroom, I decided to head down and see how things went as I exited the building I saw All Might go up to Izuku, likely asking what they had been talking about. When I reached them, I caught the tail end of their conversation to which All Might gave Izuku a pat on the back.
"-y Quirk but I made sure to tell him that I hadn't been deceiving him."
"Hiya, Izuku-chan, Shishou-chan. How did it go?" They both turned to me when I announced my presence, Izuku giving me a smile. As for All Might, he held the smile he usually had on while in his muscle-form.
"I... think it went okay? Haha. Thanks for wishing me luck, Himiko-san."
"Hehe~. That's what friends are for, right, Izuku-chan?"
"Ah, yup!"
"So... Are the two of you ready to go home? Or will you still be staying for a while longer, Shishou-chan, Izuku-chan?"
"Hahahahaha! I still have to go over some marks for today's classes, so I won't be going home yet."
"Well, shall we get ready to go then, Izuku-chan?"
"Yes!"
We separated from All Might after entering back into the building, with Izuku and myself making our way back up the stairs to the classroom. The girls had apparently already gone back in and most of the class was still hanging around, although I wasn't really sure why. Izuku grabbed his bag off of his desk before heading to the nearest changing room, with Tenya following behind him. Probably to help Izuku with changing, since he's stuck with that cast until tomorrow. Unless Tenya has thosekinds of tendencies. I hope not. I felt a shiver crawl up my spine as the thought passed.
I walked over to the other end of the room, by the back entrance, after both Itsuka and Ochaco waved me over. For the next ten minutes we spent our time chatting while waiting for Izuku and Tenya, so that we can head home. Once they returned we walk to the station together, before separating from Itsuka and Tenya, boarding our respective trains. Just the same as the previous day Izuku and I got off before Ochaco, walking together to the entrance of the station before parting, leaving me to head home on my own.
After getting home I made some turkey sandwiches for dinner, leaving a plate of them in the fridge for All Might, and took my time eating. Once I finished eating, I headed to the washroom and had a quick bath, before spending the next two hours extending my Quirk while doing some simple exercises. Just before heading to bed I heard the front door open, signaling All Might's return, and so I headed back out to greet him.
"Welcome back!"
"Ah, I'm home, Himiko."
"I made turkey sandwiches for dinner, which are in the fridge." I quickly informed him before running up to him and giving a quick hug, then proceeded to flee back to my room, wishing him good night. "I'll be heading to bed now so, good night!"
"Good night."
I changed into my pajama's before crawling into bed, turning off the light as I made my way to the bed. It was an eventful day, but I think it went quite well, all things considered. Sleep came relatively easy to me.
I awoke to my usual alarm at six in the morning, quickly getting out of bed and going through my morning routine. I didn't have any need to get to the school early for the day, as All Might had made it home the previous night, and even made both of our lunches this morning, leaving shortly after I woke up. I headed to Izuku's house and knocked on the door after texting him to let him know that I was there. He opened the door a few minutes later, ready to go, and we set off for school. The train ride was rather uneventful and once we arrived at our station, we ran into Itsuka. We walked together up the hill exchanging small talk, but once we made it to the front gate we were swarmed by reporters that seemed to have appeared from thin air.
We, as well as other arriving students, were barraged by questions about All Might, and what he was like as a teacher. "Hey, you three! How are All Might's classes?"
"Ah, excuse him, he needs to go to the nurse's office." Izuku had started freaking out as we were swarmed so I decided to give him a way out. Next to me Itsuka kept a blank expression, so I wasn't really sure if she minded or not.
I decided to give an answer after confirming the question, to which the reporter that asked gave me a nod. "Uhm, the question was 'How are All Might's classes?', right? I would say... they were fun, but also informative and practical."
"Thank you! Next, you!" After I answered the reporters quickly moved on to another student, and both Itsuka and I made our way through the gate. Although we could still hear the next student being questioned before we made it out of hearing range.
"Will you tell us about what the Symbol of Peace is like as a teacher?"
"Wh-what he's like? Um... He's very muscular!"
"Thank you! You, what do you think of All Might as..."
As we kept walking the questioning by the reporters slowly faded out and we heard someone rushing up behind us. We both turned to see Ochaco running to catch up with us and, as she arrived, she rested her hands on her knees while catching her breath.
"Good morning, Chaco-chan!"
"Morning."
"Hah~. Good morning Himi-chan, Itsuka-chan."
We greeted each other before walking together into the school, making our way up to the classroom, while making small talk. We sat down at our seats near the back entrance to the class and continued chatting while we waited for Aizawa to arrive so that he could start our homeroom class. Izuku returned at the same time that Aizawa arrived, not even a minute before the bell, taking his seat behind Bakugo, who glared at Izuku harder than usual. I guess yesterday afternoon's events are still quite fresh in his mind. After the bell signaling the start of the school day went off, Aizawa began the homeroom class for the day in his usual monotone voice.
"Good work on yesterday's combat training. I saw the video and results. Bakugo, you're talented, so don't act like a kid."
"I know."
"And Midoriya. You settled it by breaking your arm again, huh? You can't keep saying you can't help it because you can't control your Quirk. I don't like saying the same thing over and over. As long as you fix the control issue, there's a lot you'll be able to do. Feel a sense of urgency, Midoriya."
"Yes, sir!"
"Now let's get down to homeroom business. Sorry about the late notice, but today, I'll have you..." He paused dramatically. "...decide on a class representative."
It might just be me, but I feel like he puts dramatic pauses in all of his announcements to cause misunderstandings on purpose... But hey! I get to vote for Itsuka to be class rep now! Around me the class explodes with noise, most of the students volunteering themselves as representative.
"I want to be class rep! Pick me!"
"Me too!"
"I want to do it too."
"It's a job made for m-"
"I'll be the leader!"
"My manifesto is for all girls' skirts to be 30 centimeters above the knee!"
"Let me do it! Me!"
I checked behind me to see that both Itsuka and Ochaco were keeping their silence, like myself, so I gave them both a nod, while making a clapping motion with my hands. I counted down from three with my fingers and we all began the motion to clap our hands together, Itsuka with hers slightly enlarged.
"Silence, ple-" *Clap* Tenya stood, shouting, only to be quickly cut off by our synchronized clap. Oops?
Everyone quieted down and looks towards our corner of the class the three of us that clapped blushing while Tenya took the chance to keep speaking.
"It is a job with the serious responsibility of leading others. It is not a job for just anyone who wants to do it. It is a calling that requires the trust of those around you. If we want to use democracy to decide on a true leader, then we should hold an election to choose one."
"Uh, yeah, what Iida-chan said."
"Why did you suggest that?"
"We haven't known each other for that long, so how can we have trust or anything?"
"If that's the case, and everyone votes for themselves..."
"Don't you think that is precisely why whoever receives multiple votes here can be truly considered the most suitable person? What do you think, Aizawa-sensei?"
"I don't care, as long as you decide before homeroom is over." During the commotion, Aizawa had wrapped himself up in his sleeping bag, and he dropped to the ground to sleep as he answered Tenya, leaving the class to decide for itself.
"Thank you very much!"
Tenya took it upon himself to keep track of the results, walking up to the front and writing them down after collecting written votes from everyone, most of which just voted for themselves.
[Yagi Himiko | 3]
[Itsuka Kendo | 2]
[Midoriya Izuku | 2]
[Yaoyorozu Momo | 2]
[Iida Tenya | 1]
[etc.]
"Eh? I thought the three of us were voting for Suka-chan?"
"Huh?! How did Deku get more votes than me?! Who voted for him?!"
"Well, it's better than voting for you."
"What did you say?! I'll fu-"
"-Sorry, Himi-chan, but I think you fit better than myself, you've been taking charge whenever you see it necessary, after all."
"Ehh... Well I have personal reasons that I can't do it so everyone that voted for me please re-vote."
I wouldn't be able to do those duties while also spying, after all. On the other side of the room Bakugo was still spouting insults and threats after not getting any votes other than his own. Meanwhile on our side of the room, Itsuka gave a put-upon sigh before writing down another vote and tossing it to Tenya who stayed at the front after I declared that I was unable to do it. I also saw the other two that voted for me toss up their papers at Tenya, who were surprisingly Eijiro and Mineta. I can kind of understand Eijiro, but didn't Mineta have a bunch of evil plans for when he took over? Did I scare him that much? Or is he hoping to get brownie points or something? After reading through the new votes Tenya erased the previous results and wrote down the new ones.
[Itsuka Kendo | 4]
[Yaoyorozu Momo | 3]
[Midoriya Izuku | 2]
[etc.]
I'm pretty sure I know who voted for Momo. Definitely for brownie points. For some reason Eijiro seems to trust me quite a bit too, obviously voting for Itsuka after hearing our original plan. I didn't do anything to garner that much trust, did I? All I did was swing him around as a weapon, right? After sitting down in his seat, Tenya seemed slightly unsatisfied that he didn't win, but also satisfied that he got a vote, making for a very complicated expression.
I could barely hear Sero saying that he gave up from Bakugo, who was still yelling, who had been choking him. "-ive up! I give up!"
"You voted for someone else, huh?"
Tenya began his monologue at the same time as I had heard them in the background. "One vote... I knew I wouldn't win... That is only to be expected of a person's calling."
I gave him a small pat on the shoulder while Momo commented on his decision to vote for someone else. After which I turned to face Itsuka and nodded my head towards the front of class once I made eye contact with her. As she walked up, Momo following behind her, and Aizawa announced them as class reps once they arrived at the front.
"Then, the class rep is Kendo, and the deputy class rep will be Yaoyorozu."
"Ahaha~." Itsuka gave a small wave to the class while laughing and smiling, while Momo offered her hand for a handshake. "Let's work well together, Kendo-san."
As for the rest of the class, even though most of them wanted to do it themselves, they didn't seem to be too unsatisfied with the results.
"That might not be too bad."
"After all, those two worked quite well together during the matchups, anyway. Kendo seems pretty smart and level-headed and Yaoyorozu was cool when we were going over the battle results!"
With the class representatives decided, Aizawa ended the homeroom and we proceeded through our normal classes, heading to the cafeteria once it was lunch time. We took a table to ourselves once again, and I held the table while they all went to get their lunches, since I had the bento that All Might had made. I opened it up to find that he had made a rice filled omelette for the main dish with sausages and some raw vegetables as the side dishes. After they returned, they started eating while still making small talk, so I began eating my food too.
"There are a lot of people today, too!"
"That's because everyone in the hero course, support course, and management course meets in the same place."
"The rice is so delicious!"
"So, Iida-chan, do you regret making it a vote for who became class rep?"
"No, while I don't know Kendo-san very well, I'm sure that she's qualified. Since you went through all that trouble to make sure she got the position, you are confident in her abilities, aren't you?"
"Yeah! Suka-chan's going to do great things!"
I gave Itsuka, who was sitting to my left, a pat on the back before asking why Tenya voted for Izuku, deciding to tease him a little bit. "Also, why did you vote for Izuku-chan when you wanted to be class rep yourself? I mean, you have the glasses for it."
"It was Iida-kun?"
"Yeah, Himi-chan's right, you've got the glasses and everything."
"Maybe I should hand the position over to you, Iida-san. I mean, since you've got the glasses for it."
"Eh?!"
Izuku reacted to the three of us lightly teasing Tenya, letting out a noise akin to surprised confusion, while Tenya didn't react other than properly responding to the original question. Well I'm not too sure if Ochaco was serious or not...
"Wanting to do it and being suitable for it are different issues. I merely did what I judged to be correct."
"'Merely'?"
"You don't usually use that word..."
"Oh, that's..."
"I've been thinking... Are you a rich boy, Iida-kun?"
"Rich... I tried to change how I talk because I didn't want to be called that. Haaah. Yes, my family has been heroes for generations. I'm the second son."
"What?! Wow!"
"Do you know the Turb-
"Yup, yup! I think they get it, Ingenium's little brother-san!"
"-o Hero... Ingenium... Yagi-san... Please don't steal my thunder! Just as she said, he is my elder brother!"
"Ahaha, sorry, sorry."
"I know him! He's a really popular hero who has sixty-five sidekicks working at his Tokyo agency! That's amazing!"
"He's a likable hero who honors the rules and leads people. I set my sights on being a hero because I want to be like my brother. However, I think it is still too soon for me to lead others. Unlike me, there are others who realized the point of the practical portion of the entrance exam, like Midoriya-kun and Yagi-san. So, if Yagi-san believes you to be more suitable for the position than herself, then I will believe in you as well."
"This might be the first time I've seen you smile, Iida-kun."
"What, really? I smile!"
"Like I said before, about the entrance exam..." Izuku began, only to be interrupted by an alarm blaring, casuing the students all around us to panic.
"An alarm?!" Izuku let out a yell and I poked Itsuka before her of the situation and to calm everyone down, while I went to the scene to make sure they left peacefully.
"Suka-chan, it's only reporters so work with the others to calm everyone down. I'll go take care of them until the teachers arrive, so don't worry about me."
She gave me a skeptical look before nodding, so I sent her a reassuring smile before standing and dashing off, hearing someone yell behind me as the evacuation announcement began.
"There has been a Level 3 security breach."
"-What?!"
"-All students please evacuate promptly I repeat..."
I sprinted out of the cafeteria before anyone else had even raised from their seats, so I had no trouble in making it outside. Now... Let's see if I can't find the one that did this. It'll be useful for multiple reasons if I can physically meet him after all.
Author Note:
I'm contemplating having a side chapter from Izuku's or All Might's POV every once in a while, but what do you think? I think I'd be able to convey some more of what's going on outside of what Himiko sees as she's supposed to be an unreliable narrator... I don't know, tell me if you think it's a good idea!
If anyone's confused about whether there were classes after the simulations or not I'd say no. Assuming each fight took the maximum amount of time, including preparation and setting aside 10-20 minutes for review that's about 2 hours, and I assumed their lunch hour ended at 1PM. Soooo, yeah. I wasn't sure if that needed clarification, but here you go anyways.
I realized while writing the next chapter that Tenya calls Ochaco 'Uraraka-kun' which made me realize that maybe he should be calling Himiko 'Yagi-kun'. It's something rather small though, so I'm not sure I should change it...
