"Kawaki-kun! Please cast your vote!" a voice called. "As you can see there are 19 vote-"
"I'm still thinking okay!" Kawaki shouted in response at the boy who was instructing him to vote.
The whole class sweat-dropped and all thought one thing. 'I didn't think he of all people would care about this'.
Kawaki cast his vote and the scores appeared on the board, most people had one vote.
"WHAT! WHO VOTED FOR ME?" a voice behind Kawaki shouted, this was Kirishima.
Kawaki stood up and started to walk to the exit. "If there's a re-vote for vice president put my vote down for Kirishima" he said opening the door and exiting out of the classroom.
'Today is the day where it all starts' Kawaki thought as he made his way to the bathroom.
After he did his business Kawaki washed his hands.
'Huh? Why am I shaking?' he thought as he used his left hand to stop his right arm from shaking. 'As if I'd be scared of some petty thugs who could kill me'
Kawaki looked up into the mirror and saw his on worried facial expression. 'Get fucked! I am not having a panic attack over this!'
As he took his hands away from the sink he noticed they were still shaking. 'Damn it!' he thought before he punched the mirror, cracking it.
The pain of mirror fragments sticking into his skin distracted Kawaki. He watched as blood dripped down from his hand. "MAN THE FUCK UP KAWAKI!" he shouted out of frustration as the door opened to reveal a white and red haired teen.
He walked in, indifferent as always and walked towards a cubicle. But before he could Kawaki spoke up.
"Can you ice this for me?" He asked, holding up his bloody fist.
"Sure" the boy responded as he activated his quirk and lightly frosted Kawaki's hand before he disappeared into the cubicle.
Kawaki sighed as he looked at the Mirror. 'This is only a fraction of what is to come, you still have All Might around so he will stop you from dying again'
He took a deep breath in and walked out of the bathroom. 'Oh shit the mirror!'

Kawaki sat in the cafeteria, with the people from 1B.
"Hey Kawaki-kun, why do you want to become a hero?" Stensuna asked as she lapped up some of her ramen.
Kawaki smiled sadly. "I made a promise to look over someone and keep them from dying"
"Oooh sounds deep" Setsuna commented as the school alarm went off.
'So it begins' Kawaki thought as he slurped up some more of his ramen.
"Kawaki-kun! We have to follow protocol" Kendo stated as many students began to rush for the door.
"We won't be going anywhere with that many people crowded in the doorway" He stated calmly sipping on his ramen.
"Suit yourself! We're going!" Tetsutetsu shouted as the three rushed towards the doorway.
'I need to remain calm in times of pressure' He thought as he slipped some more of his ramen before standing up and walking over to the exit door where he heard Ida's voice commanding everyone to be calm.

Kawaki found himself woken up by loud chatter on the bus to the USJ.
"My Navel Laser is pro-level in both flashiness and strength" a blonde haired knight 'looking ass' stated.
The pink girl who sat next to him put her hand on his armored shoulder and replied "But it's not great that it gives you a stomach ache"
Kawaki could see the depressed face of the young boy.
"Well if you're talking about flashy and strong, it's gotta be Todoroki, Kawaki and Bakugo though ey?" Kirishima stated as Bakugo made a noise that sounded like a thank you.
The frog girl was quick to add to Kirishima's statement. "Bakugo's always mad, so he doesn't seem like he'll be popular"
"WHAT THE HELL YOU WANNA FIGHT!" the blonde shouted in response.
The frog girl just pointed at Bakugo and said "See?"
This time Denki pointed at Bakugo and started to open his mouth. "We haven't known each other that long so it's amazing that everyone already knows his personality is crap steeped in sewage"
Bakugo then turned his head to Denki and unloaded on him. "WHATS WITH THAT VOCABULARY! ILL KILL YOU!"
Kawaki chuckled as he looked at Midoriya's disbelieving face. "Oi can you shut up?" Kawaki shouted at the other blonde. "I'm trying to take a nap here!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY SQUINTY EYES?" Bakugo shouts back at Kawaki, turning 180 degrees to come Remaining as calm as he can, despite the anger incited by the last statement, Kawaki replied. "I said to be quite explosion brains"
In response Bakugo shoved the middle finger right in front of Kawaki, who promptly swatted it away
"Oi Oi Oi" Katsuki and Kawaki both said at the same time, butting foreheads. "You wanna die?" they both said to each other at the same time.
This caused Denki to laugh. "It's like they have the same response mechanisms" he said as the rest chuckled at his comment.
"They're similar but different, Kero" the frog girl said as the bus stopped.
"We're here, stop fooling around!" Aizawa, the sensei of class 1A, shouted. Everyone started to behave after that.
As soon as he stepped out of the bus Kawaki felt the pressure of the forth coming situation press him down and as he stepped off the bus he tripped over and fell face first into the concrete road.
"Kawaki-kun, are you okay?" Midoriya asked as he rushed over to his fallen comrade.
'Always the first to care, such a nice person you are Midoriya' Kawaki thought earnestly as he clenched his fist before smashing into onto the ground, leaving a small spider-web crack in the wake.
Kawaki pushed himself up and dusted himself off. "It's nothing don't worry about it" he said as he walked forward past the narrowing eyes of Aizawa.
"Hello everyone! I have been waiting for you!" an astronaut like voice called out as the majority of the class oohed in awe.
"It's the Space Hero: Thirteen"
Kawaki looked at the building and took a deep breath in, trying to calm himself. In doing this he tuned out Thirteen's introductory speech.
Class 1A walked blindly into danger, all but one person where exited for this event.
The class lined up, Kawaki did his best to show indifference, he was clenching his fist so hard his fingers where going white.
His brother noticed this and put a hand on Kawaki's shoulder. "You okay Otouto?" he asked.
The response he got was Kawaki's Karma slowly creeping up his arm and Denki felt his slight electric aura deplete. As a response he channeled more lightning to keep it up but it kept being drained.
Denki took his arm off of Kawaki's shoulder and gave him a comforting smile. "I'm always here for you ya know" he said softly so only Kawaki could hear.
Kawaki nodded and looked up into the rafters of the building. Gathering all his courage het let out an internal scream and thought 'Lets beat this!' Taking a deep breath, Kawaki looked forward to see a spiral or dark purple appear.
'So it begins' Kawaki thought as he once again began to tremble, this time at the sight of villains.
"All of you stay back, those are real villains" Aizawa instructed as the warp gate started to open, allowing a horde of villains to enter the USJ.
Frozen in place watching the villains in front of him, Kawaki didn't notice the people running away from the mass of evil doers.
"Kawaki-kun! This is no time to be in shock!" Ida shouted, but it didn't make a difference to the Thor quirk user, he was in his own world.
'IM SO FUCKING PATHETIC!' he screamed internally. 'I CAN'T EVEN MOVE A MUSCLE AND I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS MEANT TO BE MOST PREPARED FOR THIS!'
"GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!" Kawaki screamed as he willed his body to take a step forward.
'The first step is the hardest in every journey of dreams' Kawaki thought as he took a small step forward.
"I WON'T SHRINK IN THE FACE OF FEAR!" he screamed as he took another step forward, the adrenaline in his system started to take effect.
"Kawaki-kun this is no place to be a hero!" Ida screamed as Kawaki looked back with an uneasy grin.
"If I can't face fear here how can I call myself a hero?" Kawaki shouted in response as he jumped forward off the stairs and flew towards the fight that his sensei was currently engaged in.
Flying towards the decreasing group of grunt Kawaki started to channel the energy that he had stored up into his fist. Looking for the biggest of the group, he scanned the ongoing conflict.
'Found him' Kawaki thought as his eyes focused on a rather tall villain with an elongated and bony neck, holding a cleaver knife.
"SENSEI! ABOVE!" Kawaki yelled as he sped towards the ground with as much speed as he could muster.
Eraserhead, the sensei, jumped back as Kawaki's first made impact with the ground, going straight through the villain he was targeting.
"THUNDER GOD'S IMPACT!" the hero in training yelled as his fist hit the ground making a spider web crack that could surround an entire apartment. Out of the ground came bolts of lightning that stunned nearby enemies.
In the wake of the impact stood Kawaki, surrounded by knocked out villains. Under his feet was a mess of blood and bones.
"KAWAKI! THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO SHOW OFF! GET BACK TO THE REST OF THE GROUP!" Aizawa yelled as he knocked out another villain.
"Fuck that sensei!" Kawaki yelled as he stood up in an intimidating manner, glaring at the villains that surrounded him.
"I am here to kick ass!" Kawaki yelled as he sped towards another villain.
'No way' a grunt thought 'Nobody told us that the kids where this powerful!' they thought as Kawaki's fist made impact with another villain.
"I won't let you fight alone sensei!" Kawaki yelled as he held out his palm towards a clump of grunts. "Vanish you fucking shit-stains!" he yelled as an orb of lightning formed in his right hand.
The orb erupted into a giant bolt that incinerated the villains at the speed of a thunderbolt.
'He's killed four villains already' Aizawa thought as he punched another villain. 'Killing villains isn't illegal but it is seen as a last resort' he thought dodging another punch.
'This kid is too high on adrenaline to pull his punches' the pro thought as he made his way to his student.
'The one thing about being a pro is learning how much power to use, and this kid doesn't know that yet!' he thought as he watched Kawaki hit a frail looking villain in the skull with a lightning enhanced punch. The villain's head exploded on impact, spreading blood all over Kawaki and Aizawa who was nearby.
The group watched as Aizawa and Kawaki stood next to each other, both of them panting.
"They're getting tired! Get them!" one shouted getting Kawaki's attention.
"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SCUM!" he shouted as he spun at a fast speed, letting a continuous stream of electricity exit out of his palm, frying any villain in its wake.
Aizawa noted that the black marks on Kawaki's arm was shrinking by the second. 'he's not going to stop fighting, the best thing I can do is slow him down so he doesn't burn out too quick so he won't become a liability'
"Kawaki, focus on short ranged attacks!" Aizawa shouted hoping to get his student's attention.
Kawaki gave a faint nod as he shifted his guard into a boxing stance.
'Damn students being irrational!' Aizawa thought as he jumped up into the air and roped up some grunts before drop kicking them, landing next to Kawaki.
"After this we are having a talk" Aizawa shouted in a calm but angry voice.
Kawaki was quick to reply. "If that's all I'm getting after this I'll comply!" he replied as the two worked together to disable the attackers.
'Telling him to pull his punches won't help, he will just get stressed an realise that he has killed already, I need to save the people from being killed by Kawaki so I can get answers' Aizawa thought as he truly started to show off his speed and experience as a pro.
Kawaki stared for a second in awe as his sensei was blitzing though the villains at speeds that made him look slow. 'What kind of training has he been through to achieve that speed?' Kawaki thought as he dodged a punch from a grunt.
"I've got you now!" a voice screamed from behind Kawaki, giving him enough time to react, turning around Kawaki used his left gauntlet to block the oncoming attack by the villain.
Kawaki squinted as he saw a blade shatter on impact with his gauntlet.
The villain's expression turned from one of arrogance to fear.
The two stared at each other for a second. "No wait!" the villain screamed as he saw the deathly look in Kawaki's eye but it was too late.
Kawaki used his free right hand to grasp the villain around the neck and slam him head first into the ground.
"You think it's okay to ask for mercy when attacking children?" Kawaki shouted as he became more enraged by the second. He turned around and fixed his sight on cowering villains. "Pray for a god's mercy because I won't be giving it to you!" he shouted as he rocketed forward towards the clump of grunts.
Getting lost in his fight Kawaki didn't notice his sensei rushing forward towards a man covered in hands.
Kicking and punching his way through the seemingly endless wave of grunts Kawaki caught sight of his sensei being surrounded by a group of villains.
'He's in trouble' Kawaki thought as he looked around, a mass of dead and alive bodies surrounded him, not that he could tell the difference in his current state.
"Don't forget about me!" a voice yelled form behind as a sharp pain was felt by Kawaki in his shoulder.
"Damn hero! Thinking you're better than us" the villain mocked as Kawaki reached for his shoulder, he found a knife stuck in there, where his cape was.
Kawaki's eyes widened in shock, but not caused by the pain. 'My cape' was his only thought as he turned around, knife still in shoulder and looked at the villain with glowing red eyes.
'I've seen those eyes before, a villain with a similar quirk had those same eyes' the villain thought as Kawaki began to float.
'He was one of Leader's favourites' the villain thought before a hand was firmly wrapped around his skull. 'What? When?' the villain thought as he watched Kawaki pull the knife out of his shoulder and stab it into his own shoulder, introducing the villain into a new world of pain.
An inhuman scream could be heard as the villain went limp in Kawaki's palm, conscious but limp.
"Scum" he said in a dark tone, the red eyes striking fear into the villain's very being.
Kawaki then tossed the villain away and put his electrified right palm on his wound. If you were close enough the sounds of sizzling flesh could be heard as Kawaki used electricity to cauterise his wound.
Grunting in paint, Kawaki turned to see his sensei being man handled by a giant creature. 'The Nomu… the symbol of anti-peace… said to be as strong as All Might' Kawaki thought as he unconsciously started to amass energy in his right palm.
'Overwhelmingly strong or not I can't let someone die under my watch!' he thought as he flew at max speed towards the Nomu, holding his electrified hand out.
"OI BIRD BRAIN!" Kawaki shouted as he was inches away from the strongest being here. "EAT THIS!" he shouted as he swung his electrified fist with as much force as he could towards the monster.
The monster easily moved his hand to block the attack.
"LIGHTNING CUTTER!" Kawaki shouted as the concentration of lightning in his hand intensified tenfold.
Kawaki's hand made contact with the Nomu's, which tried to grab the oncoming attack. The attack ripped straight through the hand and made contact with the creature's jaw. The attack continued on its unrelenting advance and pierced the creature's jaw.
As soon as Lightning stopped being emitted from his hand, Kawaki flew back as fast as he could but it wasn't fast enough as the creatures other arm made contact with his left gauntlet, sending him flying backwards towards the mountain zone.
'GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!' Kawaki thought as he crashed into a wall of rock. 'IT FUCKING HURTS!' he thought, willing himself to get back up.
He looked at the blue beast that had sent him this far and then his busted gauntlet. 'That thing is as strong as All Might' Kawaki thought as a huge boom echoed through the area. 'It feels like All Might has arrived' Kawaki thought as a blur made its way through some struggling villains and finally to the Nomu. 'He has arrived' Kawaki thought as he started to push himself out of the crater he was in.
'I guess I better make my way back to the group then' Kawaki thought as he climbed out of the crater. Beginning to climb he heard the gasps of two people, gasps of shock.
How he heard this, Kawaki had no idea, but it urged him to use his quirk to fly above the mountain he was imbedded in.
And so he did, and what he saw and now heard below fuelled him with rage.
Bellow him was a villain holing up his brother by the scruff of his neck, in front of two of his classmates.
"If you guys use your quirks I'll kill him" the villain announced as sparks came from his hand.
Kawaki saw red.
"I'd hate to kill an electric type like me" the villain exclaimed as more yellow sparks came from his hand.
Floating towards the villain at a moderate pace Kawaki readied his hand.
"Don't move a muscle" the villain sated as Kawaki floated to be at a height that looked down on the villain.
The villain sense a presence behind him but it was too late, Kawaki used his right hand to grab the man's neck in a vice like grip. 'I will keep my promise' Kawaki thought as the villain seemingly smirked and put and electrified hand on Kawaki's gripping arm.
"Now you've done it kid!" he says, releasing a current of electricity onto Kawaki's hand.
It had no effect. Instead the electricity made its way to Kawaki's gripping palm and disappeared, making his black marks grow even more and his eyes to glow a deathly red.
"Let him go" Kawaki ordered in a low tone, his red eyes looking into the very man's soul as if he was judging it, the villain started to feel fear as Kawaki started to shake the entire body of the electric type villain with minimal effort.
The girls who were with Denki watched in shock as the man and Kawaki floated higher and higher into the air.
The man's grip on Denki loosened enough for him to slip onto the ground.
Kawaki stared impassively and emotionlessly as the villain began to grasp his arm as a means for survival. Suddenly a pressurized air shockwave reverberated throughout the building, hitting Kawaki and the captive villain.
'So All Might is done' Kawaki thought as he turned around, in flight to look at where he thought All Might was.
A giant figure stood at the start of a stream of steam. 'So he dealt with the Nomu' Kawaki thought as he looked at the dying villain in his grip before throwing him with All of his Might towards a target area in between All Might and the hand figure, Shigaraki Tomura.
Quickly in pursuit, Kawaki noticed that the villain landed exactly where he wanted him to land and planned his brutal decent.
At max speed Kawaki descended feet first to where the electricity villain's head was and landed with a resounding crunch of a human skull, followed by a crack of the ground as a small wind wave was pushed away from Kawaki.
His red eyes looked into the red eye of Tomura Shigaraki, the next symbol of evil.
"Oi" Kawaki said emotionlessly, pointing his palm at the hand covered villain. "You planned all of this didn't you?" he asked a rhetorical question.
"I'm going to kill you" Kawaki stated as an orb of electricity formed in front of his now red glove.
"Did you just kill that villain? How un hero like" the hand man mocked.
"Vanish into the void of death" Kawaki said in a low tone as the orb transformed into a lightning bolt heading straight towards the hand villain.
A purple cloud warped around the hand villain and Kawaki's lightning bolt vanished with an accompanying thunderclap.
"This one is dangerous Shigaraki Tomura" the cloud called out as it dishevelled to reveal an untouched hand villain.
"To think the hero course had such a wildcard in their deck" the hand guy muttered before three gunshots could be heard. The hand villain dropped onto the ground and the shroud once more covered him before disappearing.
Now the adrenaline started to stop working on Kawaki, images of what he had done came flashing back, he looked at his hands and started to feel sick, pain was felt on his left arm.
Kawaki looked at his left arm and saw that the forearm was bent inwards, signifying a broken bone. He turned around and looked All Might straight in the eyes as tears welled up in his eyes.
"I'm Sorry" he whispered before falling unconscious.

Review Responses:
Gentlemen Rance-T.M: Fixed Oop
MDM11: Kawaki will not intern under Mikiro, his style will be cramped if he has her for a mentor, with the recruitment, i dont think a student will be able to recruit villains as he/she dosent have enough political power, nor actucal power. As for his future agency, thats for the end of the series, which hopefully will end when the Manga and anime ends, which i think is a while away, but i will consider.
Also Review pls!
