Chapter 26: What's In A Name…
Izuku was on the train going through his phone on a crowded training.,
"Hey! You're the wizard kid from the Sports Festival!" said someone on the train.
Izuku looked up.
"Oh yeah! He is the wizard!" yelled another person.
"You did such a great job." Said another.
Izuku was blushing.
"Seriously! This kid should be in Mahoutokoro." Said another person the train.
"What?" asked someone else.
"He's a wizard! He should be in the wizard school!" said the same person.
"He's right, they don't belong in UA." Said another person on the train.
"Oh come on! He wants to be a hero! He deserves a chance at being in UA!" said someone else coming to his defense.
Izuku looked at the people coming to his defense and tried not to cry but failed.
"Kid are you crying…" asked one of the people on the train.
"No…" lied Izuku.
Once he got off the train he had managed to stop crying and head to school using a spell to act as an umbrella as it was raining.
As he walked to school, Iida ran passed him.
"Midoriya look alive you don't want to be late!" said Iida as he ran passed him.
Izuku caught up to his friend.
"School doesn't start for another five minutes." Said Izuku.
"A student should arrive at 10 minutes before the bell." Said Iida.
Izuku had not answer for that.
They got inside and they switched out their shoes.
"Iida… about your brother." Said Izuku.
"He got to the healers in time." Said Iida, "It was close though… they said that if he had gotten even a few minutes later they wouldn't be able to heal him with magic."
Izuku breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
"Unfortunately that doctors have still put him on bed rest for the next couple weeks." Sighed Iida.
"Were you planning on interning him with him?" asked Izuku.
"I was…" said Iida, "But it's fine…"
Izuku nodded.
"Oh by the way. Mom wanted to ask if you wanted to come over to dinner sometime this week since you couldn't come to the party." Said Izuku.
"I would like that." Said Iida.
They walked to class and everyone was talking about their way to school and how everyone recognized them.
"A bunch of people were asking what did I do to warrant such a fight." Sighed Mineta.
"Hey at least people didn't make fun of the fact you were beaten by humming birds." Said Sero.
That was when Katsuki walked into the classroom angry.
"What's your problem?" asked Sero.
"Shut up you bastard!" yelled Katsuki looking like he's going to blow up.
"Bakugo you shouldn't treat your classmates like that!" scolded Iida.
"Kacchan is everything all right?" asked Izuku.
"I had to deal with maniaphobes on the train." Muttered Katsuki.
"Oh you too…" said Izuku, "I had to deal with some too."
"Yeah… but I bet they weren't happy you lost." Growled Katsuki.
(Flashback)
Katsuki was riding the train.
"Hey! You're the guy who won the UA sports festival!" said a man.
Katsuki turned to the man.
"what about it?" muttered Katsuki.
"It's awesome! You won! Not to mention you beat that wizard!" said the man.
"What's the supposed to mean!" yelled Katsuki.
"Come on! He's a wizard! He cheated at life and the sports festival!" said the man.
"Fuck you!" yelled Katsuki.
"What?" asked the man.
"I'm sick and tired of people saying that about wizards! If you didn't see him use magic would you have even cared how far he got!" yelled Katsuki whop was extremely, "You don't even fucking know him! He earned his place like everyone else! So get the fuck away from me!"
He didn't know that people were filming him on the train.
(End of Flashback)
"Kacchan…" said Izuku, "Thanks…"
"You should know by now I hate Magiphobes." Growled out Katsuki.
With class starting soon everyone took their seats.
"All right!" said Aizawa walking into the room, "First things first…"
He took out a switch and soon the names of the students that had draft picks appeared, with Katsuki getting the highest, followed by Todoroki and Izuku.
"Why are you behind Todoroki?" asked Sero.
"Because I'm a wizard… some heroes would rather take people with Quirks than those without them…" sighed Izuku.
"That stinks." Said Sero.
"I only got one…" cried Mineta.
"Hey some of us didn't get any…" muttered Mina.
"Think of these as investments… and the heroes can always change their minds about you so keep that in mind. But still we have a very important lesson today in heroic history."
Everyone was concerned by what was going to happen.
"You have to pick code names." Said Aizawa.
Everyone was excited by this.
"Hey Deku..." said Katsuki.
"Yeah?" asked Izuku.
"you going by All Might Jr.?" asked Katsuki.
Izuku blushed but thankfully he had a counter to this.
"You going with Kind Explosion Murder?" he asked his best friend.
"Now these codenames are probably temporary." Said Aizawa, "But there is a chance that they could be permeant and if that happens then…"
"There will be hell to pay." Said Midnight entering the room.
"It's Midnight!" yelled Mineta in glee.
"Now I'm not good at this so Midnight will be the eons who will be the judge of your names…" said Aizawa going into his sleeping bag.
He was also very annoyed by the topic for some reason.
She handed out some small dry erase boards to everyone.
Izuku began to think about it/.
When he was younger he wanted a name based around All Might but as her god older he just wasn't sure.
After all the whole being All Might's successor was relet ivy new and even then no one would know about his quirk but a few.
But then he remembered something said to him at the start of the year… about "You can do it…" Dekiru…
And he began to think about it…
After a while, Midnight said "Now who wants to go first?"
"We have to present these?" asked Kaminari.
"Who would want to go first?" asked Kyoka.
That was when Aoyama stepped up.
"I cannot stop twinkling." Said Aoyama.
Everyone all sweated when he said that.
But then Midnight made it worse…
"You should change the "Cannot" to "Can't" and get rid of the "I" to "Can't Stop Twinkling"." Said Midnight.
He accepted this change.
Then Mina went up.
"The Ridley Hero Alien Queen!" said Mina.
"You mean like that monster from that old movie with the acidic blood!" said Midnight, "No way!"
"Oh man…" pouted Mina.
"Also I'm pretty sure Disney owns it… and you don't want to mess with them." Said Midnight.
Thankfully Tsuyu went up next and her name of Froppy got everyone to finally relax after all the weirdness.
Their classmates went up.
With Kirishima giving the name Red Riot in honor of his favorite old school hero, Crimson Riot.
Ochaco giving the name Uravity
However Izuku took a breath and went up.
"Dekiru Mahou." Said Izuku presenting his name idea.
"Oh, like saying you can do it with magic! I love it and the sentiment it gives." Said Midnight.
"Yeah…" said Izuku blushing.
That was when Katsuki went up.
"Ground Zero." Said Katsuki.
"Excellent." Said Midnight.
He sat down.
Todoroki went by his given name of "Shoto".
And out of the entire class Iida went up.
"Sorry I had to think a lot of about it and I decided to go with the name Caliber!" said Iida.
"Oh interesting name." said Midnight.
She looked at the clock.
"It looks like we finished much sooner than expected." Said Midnight.
Aizawa woke up and got out of his sleeping bag.
"All right! You can use this time to go over your prospects. Those who did not get deft picks will still be going on internships. 40 agencies have offered to take all over you." Said Aizawa.
Everyone nodded with many going over the ones that picked them.
During those that got draft picks looked over the names with some checking the internet if they hadn't heard of them for those that got smaller lists.
Which was what Mineta was doing.
"Oh man! This is awesome!" yelled Mineta as he looked over his lone prospect and got the information from hues phone about the hero that selected him.
Everyone stared at Mineta.
"It's a hot woman isn't it?" asked Kaminari.
"Not just that but she's a witch!" said Mineta, "This is perfect!"
"Really why?" asked Izuku.
"Well… after the USJ I was thinking of trying to work with Magic Heroes often." Said Mineta.
"That makes sense but not all magical heroes would be a good team up." Said Izuku, "Your quirk can be transfigured or charmed but those who specialize in just defense aren't going to be that useful in a team up."
"I already checked she specializes in all three." Said Mineta.
That was when it hit Izuku while Katsuki also got that feeling;.
"What her name?" asked Izuku.
"Raven Wing." Said Mineta.
Ochaco, Kirishima and Iida all looked at Mineta with sympathetic looks…
"You were the one?" asked Izuku honestly surprised.
"What?" asked Mineta.
"Oh it's nothing…" said Izuku.
During lunch they all had to talk about it…
"SO… should we tell him?" asked Izuku.
"No!" said Ochaco abruptly.
She was still kind of angry for the cheerleader prank.
"Besides do you think he'll believe us that she's crazy if we told him?" asked Katsuki.
"Maybe…" said Izuku.
"Do you know why she chose him?" asked Iida.
"No… but it's Tsubasa… and well…" said Izuku.
"She's going to do what she wants to do…" muttered Katsuki.
"So…" said Izuku deicing to change the topic, "Who are you thinking of picking."
"Fourth Kind picked me and he's pretty manly so I'm thinking of going with him." Said Kirishima.
I was thinking of going with Gun Head." Said Ochaco.
"I thought you wanted to be a rescue hero." Said Izuku.
"I do." Said Ochaco, "But I figured that it would be a good idea to try new things."
"I got a couple form the top 10." Muttered Katsuki.
"I've gotten a quite a few magic heroes." Said Izuku, "And from those with Quirks."
"You are the first magical student in a long time attending UA." Said Iida.
"What about you?" asked Ochaco.
"I was thinking an agency in Hosu." Said Iida.
"Isn't that where your brother was attacked?" asked Katsuki.
"Yes but don't worry it has nothing to do with revenge." Said Iida, "I read about the Hero Killer's tactics, he tends to four or five heroes in a given city before moving on."
"So you want to act as an extra pair of eyes and let the pros fight him." Said Ochaco.
"Of course, even if my brother was lucky and was able to survive unscathed, that doesn't mean that the Hero Killer isn't a threat." Said Iida, "Even if it's just observing… and reporting."
Izuku nodded.
He had a lot to think about when it came time to choosing.
After class, All Might showed up.
"Young Midoriya!" he said, "There's something I want to talk to you about."
"Sure I'll meet up with you guys." Said Izuku.
They found a place to talk in private.
"You got another draft pick." Said All Might shaking.
"Why is he shaking?" thought Izuku with a sweat drop.
"It's from my old teacher Gran Torino… he knows about One for All and he's aware that you have it." Said All Might, "He was my home room teacher one year."
"Wait… he left All Might terrified." Thought Izuku sweating, "What kind of guy is he?"
He took the name and number.
He met back up with his friends.
"So what did All Might want to talk about?" asked Ochaco.
"Oh there was another pick for me…" said Izuku, "He wanted to be the one to tell me."
Katsuki gave him a look as if saying "Tell me about it later".
As they headed to the training station they heard cawing.
They turned and saw there was indeed a raven with a blue sheen on its wing.
"Oh what the fuck!" yelled Katsuki.
And so they all got ready to fight the witch pro hero.
Which of course they lost.
"Wow… after getting the top three places that a pathetic." Said Tsubasa.
Izuku was on the ground unable to movie.
"You know if you want to get him to talk back you have to undo the full body bind." Muttered Katsuki burning the ropes that tied him up.
She undid the spell.
"So… I bet you are you wondering why I went with him." Said Tsubasa.
"Yeah…" said Ochaco as Izuku undid Jelly Legs spell that was cast on her.
"Because I think he needs it." Said Tsubasa with a mysterious smile.
""Seriously?" asked Kirishima.
"You just want to use him as an ammo factory." Muttered Katsuki.
"Well that's one reason… but not the only one." Said Tsubasa.
"You're not going to tell us…" said Katsuki.
"Of course not…" said Tsubasa, "Besides it would be more to see the results."
"Is it crazy that I think she's not wrong?" asked Kirishima.
"No…" said Ochaco.
Tsubasa laughed at this.
Izuku sighed…
They still had the rest of the week to go until internships but they were coming… and none of them knew what they were in for…
But still he had made his choice to be honest. After all if he wanted to master One for All he knew who he had to go with. And he hoped that it would work… after all even if he was going to be a magic specialist he still had to use the quirk…
HE could only hope that it would work…
Next Time: It's time to go to Internships as all of them have things to face... What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: Okay names... obviously in this story Bakugo is a bit more chill (just a bit) so he wouldn't go with King Explosion Murder... As for Izuku's I figured it would be a good name as Deku doesn't fit this version either. For Iida's... I was reusing a name from one of my other stories where Tensei is also spared of his injury (Rise of Team Zoadaic, read if you're a Gravity Falls fan)... so credit to the original person who came up with the name Animeguy1101. Hope you all liked the names...
