"Ugh, what's with the crowd!?" Itsuka said, looking at the reporters crowding at the entrance.
"They probably catch the news that All Might is teaching here. I mean, the no.1 Hero teaching at the most prestigious hero school in Japan? Not the headline you see everyday." Monoma, who was walking with Itsuka, said.
"I really don't want to deal with this, especially this early in the morning, but we'll be late! Let's just run thro-"
"What's going on?" A new voice interrupted. Itsuka and Monoma turned their head at the familiar voice to find their classmate standing there.
"Mochizuki-kun?" "Mochizuki-san?" Monoma and Kendou said respectively.
"M-morning. Why are you two standing here?" Aki greeted them before asking.
"The press is crowding at the entrance. We can't get through without them questioning us about All Might." Monoma answered.
"Can't we just say that we're Gen-Ed student so we don't know anything?" Aki pointed out.
"…..That could work…"
"They left as soon as we said that we're from Gen-Ed. Why didn't we think of it sooner?" Monoma said as he walked into the building with Itsuka and Aki.
"Just glad that we made it inside without any trouble. You're a real lifesaver, Mochizuki-san!" Itsuka laughed as she patted they black-hair boy's back who replied with an awkward smile.
"Good morning, class! I hope you all have a good rest yesterday." Kan greeted his students as he walked into class. Everyone quickly got back to their own seats as soon as they saw him.
"First of all, I reviewed the yesterday footages of your Combat Training. I see rooms for you to improve. But still, considering that was your first time using your Quirk in a fight, I'm impressed." Kan let out a compliment for his students, who immediately cheered up at their teacher's praise.
"Now, onto a more pressing matter." Kan seriously said, glaring at the students, "We're going to pick your class representatives."
Reactions were different. Some got excited, others looked more serious at that while the rest looked bored.
"Silence! There are two ways for us to choose your leaderships." Kan quickly settled his students down before continuing, "For those of you who are unaware, my alma mater is Shiketsu. When I attended, the class reps were chosen by the teachers. They were handpicked based on their grades and their overall conduct."
"I prefer this method over UA way, which students who get the most votes become the class reps."
"Usually, I wouldn't bring this matter up until I have confirmed which students I will choose to be class reps, but this time, I already have an idea of who I want to choose. But that's only if you guys are ok with the Shiketsu way. If you want to choose your class representatives base on UA way, now is the time for you to raise your hand."
"Out of curiosity, Sensei, who have you picked?" Inquired Monoma with his hand up.
"If we go the Shiketsu way, I would choose Kendo-san as class representative,"
Kendo's eyes opened slightly wider, but she remained silent.
"and Mochizuki-san as vice rep." Kan stated
Aki almost dropped from the chair he was sitting on.
Him? Vice rep? Why? How? His stuttering is obviously not why he was picked, his shyness as well. All he could see was why NOT to pick him.
"I will only explain the reason if we choose the Shiketsu way to avoid clouding your judgement." Kan explained before Aki could questioned him, "Now, we'll decide based on votes. Who want to choose your class representatives using UA way?"
Kan counted 8 students, namely Aki, Juzo, Pony, Kosei, Tetsutetsu, Shihai, Togaru, Kaibara.
"Majority wins, so we'll go with Shiketsu way. But, before I can explain why I choose our 2 class representatives, why don't you want to be vice-rep, Mochizuki-san?" Kan looked at his student.
"W-well, I-I mean…There are others who are more worthy of this spot than me. I can't see why you would choose me an-and I don't feel like I deserve it." Aki nervously explained to his teacher who was staring as if he was…inspecting him?
"I think otherwise, Mochizuki-san. Your performance, as well as Kendo, show me that you two have great decision-making skill, and that you guys are team player. I believe that you guys will make great leader. But I won't force if you guys aren't comfortable."
Aki quickly looked over to Itsuka, who was considering the decision. But Aki could see the determination in her eyes. Aki wished he has that kind of conviction. A part of him wanted to take the position, but the other part was afraid that he wouldn't make a good leadership. He might even got into Itsuka way.
He accidentally caught Reiko and Yui in his sight. Both of them with their thumbs up. Even with their emotionless face, their gesture shows that they believe in him.
"I-I'll try my best." Aki meekly said.
"I'll do it too, Sensei!" Itsuka said.
Kan delightfully nodded at his students,
"That settles it then! Class, please give your two new class representatives a round of applause!" Kan proudly announced as he clapped his hand for his students.
The class quickly erupted into applause. Some looked kind of disappointed, but they still cheered for their classmates nonetheless.
The first half of the morning finally finished as the bell signaled lunch rang through the whole building.
"ALRIGHT! That's it for today English, little listener! The homework is in page 63 of the workbook, remember to finish it by next Monday! Now go for your lunch! You'll need the energy for your Heroic Lesson!" Present Mic enthusiastically yelled out before making his exit.
"Oh god, I think I might die!" Awase grumbled before dropping his head on the table.
"Language!" Shiozaki reprimanded, but she wasn't looking any better.
"Sorry, but seriously! What makes Present Mic thinks that it's fine to throw a whole bunch of grammar and vocabulary in an hour and expect us to understand!? And there's homework, too!"
"They probably trying to squeeze the study in for us to focus more on the heroic classes." Kaibara said.
"Come on guys! Let's go to lunch. I'm starving!" Tsuburaba moaned out before he walked out with Awase and Kaibara. Slowly, the class started filling out until there are only a few left.
"Well, the Three Musketeers are correct! I'm starving! Anyone want to come with?" Setsuna asked with a toothy grin on her face.
"Here, here!" Pony excitedly raised her hand as she yelled out in both English and Japanese.
"Me too." Itsuka said before turning to Yui, "Yui, you coming?"
Yui answered by a nod.
"What about you, Komori-chan?" Itsuka asked the brown hair girl.
"I-if you don't mind." Kinoko meekly answered.
"Shiozaki-chan?"
"Gladly! Thank you for the invitation." Ibara replied in a way that made the whole group couldn't help but smile kindly at her.
"Mochizuki-san?" Itsuka turned to the back seat which was empty.
"I think Mochi-kun already left." Setsuna said, looking around for the boy.
"Yanagi-chan?"
"Also gone…"
"Huh.." Itsuka confusingly looked around before she shrugged it off, "Well, guess it's just us girls."
"So, Setsuna-chan," Pony said, gaining the attention from the lizard girl as she looked up from her plate, "you called Mochizuki-san…Mochi-kun? What's up with that?"
"Oh right, I have been wondering about that either." Ibara said with a slight interest in her tone.
"I mean you two technically met two days ago and you already have a pet name for him." Itsuka pointed out.
"Mm." Yui added her two-cents with a strong nod that indicates her interest in the subject.
Kinoko nodding profusely as she stared at her green hair classmate, who then said,
"Cute, isn't it? I mean, 'Mochizuki' is quite long so 'Mochi-kun' is kind of a shorter version of it. Besides, he's cute, like mochi." Setsuna grin shows that she was having fun answering the girls' question, "Let's be honest, his stuttering is cute, ya know! Like a puppy that just got reprimanded. I want to pinch his cheeks so bad~"
"HAAchOOOO"
"Are you perhaps coming down with a sickness, Mochizuki-san?" Reiko asked her lunchmate while pulling out some tissues for him.
"I don't think so. Someone must be talking about me." Aki slightly joked while wiping his nose with tissues, before mumbling out a 'thanks' to Reiko.
The group could only stared at their classmate who looked like she was talking about her boy friend, who was also their classmate whom they met 2 days ago.
It was until Itsuka decided to break the silence.
"Your confidence is beyond my understanding, Tokage-chan…"
"Just Setsuna, class rep. Same for you girls." Setsuna said with a toothy, bright smile.
"Then call me by name as well, Setsuna-chan." Itsuka kindly smiled at the lizard girl.
"Call me Pony too! It feels so weird calling you guys by your..last name? Calling by name feels more familiar. Just like America." The exchange students cheerfully said in broken Japanese.
"Yui." The raven hair girl bluntly said.
"Please call me Ibara." The vine hair girl put her right hand on her chest and requested her classmates with a kind smile on her lips.
"Ki-Kinoko. Call me Kinoko." The brown hair girl shyly said.
"Hehe, I feel that us girls we'll be great friends in no time. We just have to drag Yanagi-chan here next time." Setsuna grinned.
"Achoo!"
Reiko covered her nose just as she was about to sneeze to suppress it.
"Maybe someone is talking about you now."
Aki joked as he gave Reiko some tissues, who quietly mumbled an 'appreciated'.
"I heard 1-A is going to USJ today." Monoma grumbled. A bit too loudly that the girls could heard it from a table away.
"Universal Studio of Japan!? How are they so lucky?" Awase asked from another table.
"Unforseen Simulator Joint. It's an UA facility." Monoma explained, before returning to his complaint, "Damn 1-A! Thinking they're better than us just because they are favor-"
"Monoma! Be nice before I chopped your neck!" Itsuka shouted her warning.
Just as Monoma scoffed and was about to retort with something, a deafening alarm blared out through the canteen interrupted him.
"Security Level 3 has been breached. Students, please promptly evacuate."
Panic spreaded out through the whole canteen as students pushed one another trying to make an exit.
"What's going on? What's Security Level 3?" Setsuna shouted to an upperclassman.
"It means someone has infiltrated the school grounds! This hasn't happened in three years!
Come quickly, all of you!"
The upperclassman exclaimed as he made his way to the crowded exit.
The 1-B students presented were panic and confused. Some felt like they should followed the crowd to the exit, but no one made a move, until Itsuka firm said.
"Let's head back to class."
"What!? Why? Shouldn't we make an exit like the others?" Tetsutetsu shouted out.
"It's too crowded to make safe pass! Besides, we'll be safer sticking together in the classroom waiting for the teachers." Itsuka calmly explained.
Everyone followed Itsuka without a question and quickly headed back to their classroom.
"Make a quick headcounts! Who's not here!?" Itsuka quickly said looking around, noticing a few classmates missing.
"…15,16,17. 17! There are only 17 here! Who's missing?" Tetsutetsu worrily looking around.
"Mochizuki-kun and Yanagi-san are not here!"
"Rin-kun as well! Anyone knows wher-"
"Oh, you guys are all here already."
To their surprise, the three missing students were standing at the door.
"Where were you guys? We couldn't find you anywhere in the canteen." Itsuka walked over to her vice-rep and questioned him.
"Because we…weren't there?" Aki asked back.
"I was at the 2nd year toilet when the alarm went off. Then Mochizuki-san and Yanagi-san told me to follow them back to class." Hiryuu explained.
"Mochizuki-san and myself were enjoying our meal at the rooftop of the building as the siren went off. An upperclassman informed us that it meant the building has been infiltrated and we should evacuate with her, but the exit was not easy to escape from due to the mayhem caused by panicked students. Mochizuki-san then planned to head back to class with me, while the upperclassman headed to the teacher lounge for more information. We encountered Rin-san on the way and told him to come with us." Yanagi elaborated the whole event.
The whole class was dumbfounded by the load of information and Yanagi's weird way of talking.
Aki broke off the awkward silence by explaining again,
"Basically, Yanagi and I were on having lunch on the roof, then the alarm went off. An upperclassman who was also there told us to evacuate with her, though she sounded quite excited consider the whole situation. But we can't evacuate due to the crowded exit, so I told Hadou-senpai to go to the teacher lounge since she knows the way, while Yanagi and I head back to class. We saw Rin on the way and told him to follow us. End of story."
Aki's explanation ended with the alarm became silence. 5 minutes later, Kan-sensei stormed inside the classroom with a scary look on his face, but was quickly replace by relief upon seeing all his students there.
"They're here Hadou. Thanks for informing me!" Kan shouted out to the person who was standing at the front door.
"No problem, Vlad-sensei! I should head back to my friends as well. See you again, Vlad-sensei, Yanagi-chan, Mochizuki-kun~!" A bubbly voice replied before its owner ran away.
"Good thinking by coming back here instead of joining the chaos, Kendou and Mochizuki-san! It seems choosing you two was a correct choice." Kan gave the class reps a quick compliment before explaining the situation,
"It seems like it was the media that broke through our defenses. But the principal decided to change our schedules just to be safe. Instead of training, we'll be going to USJ for rescue training with class 1-A."
Everyone was excited. They are going to do rescue training which sounds a lot better than the training Kan was going to give them and, they can finally meet their sister class.
"Sorry Sensei, but is it safe to swap up the schedule like that. I mean someone DID bypass our school security after all…" Aki asked.
"I understand your concern Mochizuki-san, but you are in UA. Besides, All Might is going to supervise the training later, so you all have another thing to be excited about."
"If there are no other questions, change into your hero costume if you prefer, or just change into your PE uniform would do."
"So you said that, Kan-sensei."
Aki grumbled as he got into his fighting stance, pointing his sharp katana in front,
"Why the hell are there villains!?"
40 students, 3 Pro Heroes, surrounded by more than 50 Villains inside a facility belong to the most prestigious Hero School in Japan.
