Julia: Well, 'EddieP', that all depends on your sight. We focus on what one can be, and not that what one is is what they can only be. As I'm sure you are wont to only see the negatives in this author's work, it's surprising, to say the least, that such a pedantic person as yourself even bothers indulging in the works of such an imprecise, sarcastic, and quick to enrage author in the first place.
Yusei: But I can tell you, and everyone else who came from that trainwreck, without exaggeration or delay, that in the original it was hinted actually in one of the later chapters that Lemillion had One for All. NOT BAKUGO.
Julia: Which one?
Yusei: I forget, and I'm not going back to read them. We all hate repeating things.
Chapter 4: Battle Training
At 8 a.m. the students in UA take in their morning classes. Like normal schools, they take regular lessons as if it was no different than another high school. Some force themselves to pay attention while the others either actually take notes due to genuine interest or daydream out of boredom.
It's all the lot of them can do until lunch rolls around at eleven, where they take in and enjoy the delicious meals cooked by the Cooking Hero Lunch Rush. "I'm the hero of my own story!" he says occasionally.
Afterward, things really pick up in their attention span, for as soon as it hits the afternoon the actual Hero Training begins. In from the classroom door, a man steps in. Upon seeing his face, Izuku flinches when he recognizes this man's face. Additionally, Shinso seems reactive upon seeing him.
This surprisingly thin person with yellow, spiky hair and eyes that cannot be seen stands at the door moving inside. He grabs a piece of chalk as he stands by the chalkboard. "Hello, young ones. My name is Valiant. That's…" He spells out his name in katakana on the board.
"Excuse me," asks Izuku with his hand raised, "but, are you a hero?"
The man turns over to face Izuku, along with the rest of the class. He shrinks in his seat and turns red. "I-I was just wondering since I don't recognize your appearance."
The class then turns to Valiant, who responds: "I'm what you call a retired hero. From overseas. In America."
"Whoa, a retired hero from America…" mutters Kirishima.
"Does that make him a Yankee?" asks Asui with a finger to her lips, her blatant question a showcase of how she performs.
Valiant clears his throat as he ignores the children's honest opinions, before speaking out what they really want to hear. No need to waste any more time on introductions: "Anyway, today is what you're all waiting for. This class will be everything you've been expecting in a hero course: hero training! We'll start with-" He checks a note in his back pocket. "-Battle Training!"
The class rises in excitement, partially, at this piece of information. The clear standouts are Bakugo and Izuku, ready to show what they lacked in the Quirk Assessment Test. "First things first, you need to look the part." Valiant raises a remote with his hand from the other pocket, pressing a button. Four cabinets extend out from the left wall of the room, each cabinet containing five-drawer openings, the top of the first cabinet starting at 1 going to the bottom of the last being 20.
"In accordance with your Quirk registry and the special request forms you filled out before being admitted, your costumes have been created based on your designs!" All twenty go up and grab their costume suitcases. "Once you've all changed, head to Ground Beta and remember the school motto; Plus Ultra!"
He then makes his exit, as everyone heads for the locker rooms to change. Izuku runs off with his suitcase giddy at what the support companies made for him.
…
Over at Ground Beta, Valiant stands with his eyes on his watch in front of the entrance to the training grounds. "Phew. No one caught on yet."
After a few more minutes he looks over to see the students starting to come out. Ranging from Aoyama's flashy knight in armor, Iida's cool engine motif and cape, the bulky and kind of sexy Kirishima, the definitely sexy Yaoyorozu, and even the more likely to become a villain Bakugo, their costumes all make them proper heroes in training.
"Nice, all of you!" says Valiant as he examines his students. A part of him is proud at how heroic they all already look, knowing that in the further their outfits will become even more detailed and necessary for their heroics. "They say clothes make the man, so it's good that you take care of your costumes. This is how the world will see you."
As the rest of the class admire the others' costumes, Iida looks around checking if everyone's here. "Who are we missing?"
"Midoriya," says Shinso as he looks around.
His costume is a purple bodysuit containing pads on the stomach and chest with blue stripes going up and down his collar to resemble teeth curled in a smile. He wears a strange muffler colored black and violet hanging from his neck with knee and elbow pads of the same style. His boots are an onyx type with his hands up to his elbows wrapped in bright blue gloves. All in all, the clothes show off his muscular frame underneath.
"Give him time. Deku won't be late," says Bakugo as he looks over.
"I'm here!" The rest of the class look over to spot Izuku Midoriya coming in.
The emerald protagonist is wearing an olive short-sleeved shirt that sports the same golden lightning bolt symbol on his chest with a blue-collar. His pants are also green that stick close to his skin, over top cobalt shoes with black laces, unlike the red ones he wore to class with a golden utility belt. Over this, he wears a dark blue overcoat with yellow lining on the cuffs and along with the zippers and dark blue shades hanging from a bungee cord along his neck. Strapped to his back is a cinnabar hilted katana in its scabbard.
"Oh, Deku!" shouts Uraraka as she approaches Izuku, a bounce in her step. "So cool! You're like a ninja!"
Unfortunately, seeing his pink classmate that isn't Ashido in her costume sets off a feeling in him that causes the boy to hide his face. He coughs to correct his stutter and says, "Thanks! That was the basis of my costume design! It was either this or something entirely metal, and mom was against it for some reason." He then tries to face her, asking, "What about your costume?"
"R-Right, this," she mutters, embarrassed at her costume's more revealing features. "I should have been more specific with what I wanted. And they gave me skin tights."
"It could be worse," Shinso speaks, having overheard their conversation while pointing over to Yaoyorozu coming over. "You could look like that."
"Oh, this?" Yaoyorozu gestures to her costume. "I know, it's embarrassing. I wanted something that exposed more skin, but regulations wouldn't let me."
Here is where his nose cries crimson. Izuku can only regulate in his mind that Yaoyorozu would have chosen something more revealing had she the chance. 'These girls are gonna give me a heart attack, and high blood pressure doesn't affect me.'
Mineta stares, before giving a thumbs up to no one. "The hero course is awesome!"
"Alright, is everyone here?" Val asks, getting everyone to face him. "Good. Now, today's training shall be based on combat."
"Why are we doing this type of exercise inside?" asks Asui curiously.
"What are we being graded on?" asks Iida.
"What is the criteria for success?" This is Yaoyorozu.
"Are we going to be expelled if we fail?" states Uraraka.
"Can I blow them all away?" This comes from Bakugo.
"Whoa, one at a time! I don't have super hearing!" He holds his hand out to try and quell their responses, before taking out that notepad. "Anyway, the situation is this; two villains have stolen a nuclear device capable of destroying a city block and are held up in a building. Two heroes have to go in and steal the device back.
"Why this type of exercise is done is to deliver two points across. I'm sure all of you are used to seeing villain attacks on your way home from school or while just minding your own business and you expect that stopping villains would be as simple as we heroes make it look." He notes the class looking amongst themselves in agreement. "While not only is that NOT true, that is only half of the type of villains you'll come across. The most dangerous criminals are the smart ones, those who blend in the crowd outside of the viewing public, and you're more likely to face them in a building than out on the streets."
Izuku nods in agreement. "Another point is, according to Aizawa, to have you practice your abilities against your fellow students. In a confined environment, you will be knowingly using your Quirks on people."
"Is he reading from a cheat sheet?" mutters Kirishima.
Sero shakes his head in shame, whispering, "He doesn't even know what he's saying, does he?"
"Anyway, to follow up my explanation from before, the villain team will win by capturing the hero team or surviving with their bomb intact for 15 minutes. The hero team wins by either capturing both the villains or touching the bomb within that time limit." He holds out a roll of white tape. "You will use this to capture the enemy by wrapping it around any part of their body.
"AND NOW!" He takes from behind him a box. Holding it in front of them, he speaks, "TO DRAW LOTS! Inside are two sets of balls numbered 1 through 10. Each person will pick one, and the equal number will be your partner."
As everyone goes to pick their balls from the box, Izuku notices the familiar way he shouts. The electric teen eventually goes to grab his number ball, which reads 1. Soon, Val announces the teams:
"Number 1, Midoriya and Uraraka!" These two look at each other with surprise, though she's happier while he's just shocked. Not that he isn't happy to be paired up with her.
"2, Hagakure and Ojiro." Hagakure goes over to Ojiro with a high five.
"3, Shinso and Jiro." The earphone girl sighs looking over at her equally purple partner. She sighs.
"4, Tokoyami and Asui." The birdman stares at the frog girl, who stares back as if trying to hypnotize him. She then smiles, taking him off guard.
"5, Aoyama and Ashido." Acid girl shrugs.
"6, Todoroki and Shouji!" Shouji glances at the boy whose left half is covered entirely in ice. Why is his question.
"7, Yaoyorozu and Mineta!" The little one immediately gives a thumbs up, while the rich girl instantly starts requesting to change partners.
"8, Bakugo and Iida!" The walking nuke groans.
"9, Kirishima and Sero." Kirishima gives her partner an elbow nod, causing Sero to blush.
"10. Sato and Koda." These two already could tell and are instantly nervous.
"And here we come to battle lots." Val returns the balls back to their box. "For the first match, the hero team will be…" He pulls out from the box the number 3. "Number 3, Team ShinJi!"
"Shinji?" Shinso looks over to Jirou. He then chuckles. "Oh, I get it!"
"It's not that funny," says the earphone girl, her eyes narrow as she stares at her weird partner.
"And for the villains, we have-" He dips his hand into the box again, pausing. He then pulls out the ball for the villain team. "Number…3? Wait, that ain't right."
He tosses the ball aside and pulls out another one. "Number 1, Team Midoura!"
"Midoura?"
Uraraka jumps up with a smile. "That's us!"
"Great, now I'm a villain. I hope that doesn't last," says Izuku as he crosses his arms.
"It's just a part of the job," says his chestnut-haired friend as she pats his back. She ends up causing him to levitate as a result.
"Uwah!"
"Oops!" She presses her fingers together, canceling her Quirk out before he got too high. He lands with a plop.
"Ow, my butt!" Shinso looks on with a studious look in his eyes as Bakugo laughs at his childhood friend.
"Midoriya, Uraraka," speaks Valiant as he approaches the villains, "you two will go inside this building and set up. You have three minutes until start time. The heroes will be outside planning as well."
Time Elapses…
Inside one of the buildings, Izuku and Uraraka stand together. The giant object next to them is the nuclear bomb they have to protect. As the emerald protagonist goes over what he remembers from yesterday about what he saw from everyone else's Quirk.
"Hmm…"
Uraraka comes over to Izuku, removing her helmet. "Is something wrong?" she asks.
"No, I'm just thinking about Shinso and Jiro's Quirk and how they work," he tells her while checking notes he wrote down. "Jiro's Quirk is related to sound and her earlobes. If she has good hearing she can find where we are just by listening and taking away our element of surprise. Shinso's Quirk gives him boosts of strength and power. He'll be the main fighting force."
The girl is visibly impressed. "Wow, you really thought that through. Do you have notes on everyone?"
"They're not that detailed. Just what I assume how their powers work." He holds up his notebook. "You're in here too."
"I am?" He's used to that reaction; people would freak out at the thought of him writing such detailed notes on others.
"Which is why I need to know a bit about your Quirk that I don't know about in order to come up with a proper plan."
Outside, Shinso and Jiro go through their plan. After pacing back and forth, the girl turns to her amethyst rival and asks, "Why would we do that?"
"It's a solid plan," he replies with a shrug. "You've seen Midoriya during the test; his versatile Quirk is the main threat to us. One zap and we're pinned to the wall."
"That's true," she nods in agreement, "and Uraraka just needs to touch us to make us float. Even if I went long-ranged she can tap my jacks to put me on the ceiling."
"That's why we'll have to do things that way." Shinso then gives a smile before crossing his arms over his chest. "Besides, I've been meaning to test these powers out on someone like him."
"Huh?"
Soon, time elapses for their planning. The heroes enter the building, entering through the hallways. Jiro puts her earphone jack to the wall and listens in on activities in the building. After a few seconds, she turns to Shinso, saying, "I can hear a faint noise coming from upstairs, probably a pulse from someone's feet. But, it's only one pulse."
Shinso cups his chin to think it over. Logically, it must be Uraraka. If Izuku can magnetize items he can float on them; he's seen him do it to that ball, so he can do it to anything. "Where do you hear it?"
"Upstairs, third floor."
"We'll just have to make this fast." He cracks his knuckles, as an amethyst spark of energy flows around his body. A powerful aura brims around him as a result. "Let's go!" He grabs Jiro's hand and runs forward to the nearest steps pulling her along at a speed she couldn't possibly keep up with on her own.
She screams as she gets dragged up the stairs by this purple jerk. Eventually, they reach the third floor, where the two stop just on top of the third-floor step. Jiro with her hair frilly wobbles trying to keep her feet planted. Shinso looks back at her, patting her shoulder to keep her steady. "Sorry about that. We just need to get up here as soon as possible."
She gives him the look, sighing. "You're gonna pay for that if we don't win." While he scratches his head sheepishly, the girl listens in for their targets. She points down the hall.
Together, the two run down the hall with Shinso canceling that Quirk of his. The team reaches a room sectioned far off from the rest of the hall. Jiro points to it, being cautious of what to do now. Though as they examine and get closer, they notice a green wall in front of it.
She asks, "What's that?"
"A wall of electromagnetic energy to keep us out," Shinso replies before looking around. He whispers, "We'll go around back."
"But, there's just another wall on that side."
"Exactly. It's a closed-off room with only one exit." The two go around to get to the other side of the room the villains have hidden in.
Coming down the hall, the hero team spots the wall they were looking for. Shinso summons that energy around him, his eyes focused on the task. He rushes forth with his right fist drawn back and smashes through to the other side busting down the wall.
As the debris settles, Shinso sees Izuku inside the room on a knee with both hands to the floor. Ochako is there as well, standing on a circular metal disk floating just centimeters off the ground next to Izuku. The bomb they sought to capture is settled behind Izuku blocked between him and the electromagnetic wall. The emerald child says, "I gotcha!"
"How so?" Shinso prepares to step forward, struggling to. He checks down and groans. "So this was your plan."
Jiro, not yet in the room, checks what has happened. As the magnetic wall behind him dissolves, the electric teen speaks: "We figured with Shinso's strength you'd try to break in another way. So I'm magnetizing the floor by that wall so you guys can't get in."
Snorting a chuckle, Shinso claps his hands. "Not bad. You thought that through."
"Thanks," Izuku replies before he turns to his chestnut-haired partner. "Uraraka, Jiro isn't caught but she can't move without getting trapped. She won't try anything."
"Right. I'll make this quick." Uraraka takes out the capture tape. He raises a hand from the floor to guide his saucer over to Shinso.
Said amethyst-haired teenager glares at the electric boy, before turning his eyes to the gravity girl. A grin spreads from one corner in his mouth to the other. His energy spreads over to his arms. "Shouldn't have done that, cause you forgot to lock out my arms. Jiro!"
He throws a punch down to the floor, smashing it to pieces. The fractures stop in a circle underneath him, Shinso falling down and breaking free of his hold. From behind him, Jiro becomes visible to Uraraka and Izuku, who bends at the knees injecting her earlobes into the speakers on her boots.
Remembering what Jiro's Quirk does, Uraraka turns to Izuku saying, "Go up!"
"Damn it!" He raises his hand, just as she attacks.
"Heartbeat Fuzz!" Jiro shouts, firing a sonic wave at Izuku. Upon getting hit, he grips his head holding his ears. This, unfortunately, cancels the magnetism on the saucer Uraraka stands on. Acting fast, Uraraka jumps off of the saucer making a dive for Jiro knowing it's the only way to break him free.
As she does, the floor where the original first exit was - the electromagnetic wall is gone now - shatters apart as someone breaks through from the floor below. This is Shinso, the aura of his Quirk surrounding him completely. The moment Uraraka, having dropped onto Jiro and caught her since the latter girl is unable to move without releasing the incapacitated Izuku, captures the sound girl, Shinso grabs hold of the prop bomb.
"It's over! The hero team wins!" Val's voice shouts on the loudspeaker.
Izuku recovers from the attack that almost gave him Tinnitus and quickly processes what happened. 'He broke down on the floor below to catch us off guard and distract me from Jiro.' He looks down at the gaping hole in the floor and notes how high they are compared to the floor below. 'He managed to survive the fall and get back up in the few seconds it took for Jiro to stun me? Or did he use his strength to propel himself through the air? No... he'd need to have a level of strength comparable to All Might to do that.'
He drops down on a hand and a knee with a smirk of accepted defeat. "They've beaten us in every way."
Uraraka looks down at Jiro, holding a hand to her. She sheepishly apologizes, saying, "No hard feelings?"
"None," is her reply.
Izuku looks back just in time to see the guy he lost to holding a hand down to him. "Need help getting up?" asks the brawler.
Izuku sighs before taking his hand to help him stand.
…
With the battle training for them over, Izuku, Uraraka, Shinso, and Jiro stand together before the rest of their class in a room underneath one of the buildings in this lot. Val gestures to Izuku, saying, "The winner of this battle training was Uraraka."
"Eh?!" Almost everyone shouts this as they stare at Valiant. Many of them question why that is so when their team lost, even Izuku himself if only internally.
"Would anyone care to ask why?"
"It's quite simple if you think about it," says Yaoyorozu as she raises her hand. "Out of everyone here, she made the least amount of mistakes. Shinso was able to find another way in, but he broke through the wall and floor at full force; had the bomb been there he could have damaged it, causing it to explode. In a real situation, you'd have to be more careful about that. Jiro made few mistakes as well, but she took only a support role in stalling Midoriya. Speaking of whom, he didn't act in time and failed to come up with a backup plan in case the first plan failed. Uraraka, meanwhile, managed to act fast and save her teammate by attacking the one stalling him. Had she been faster, they could have still pulled it around."
Surprised by his friend's extremely precise analysis, he looks over at Yaoyorozu with awe. She is definitely smarter than he is.
"Y-Yes, that's everything," Valiant says, surprised by her detailed essay of a response.
"Wow," Uraraka says with a blush, not used to this type of praise.
"Hey, congratulations," Izuku says as he pats her back. "Guess I have a lot to learn from you."
As she bashes further, Valiant glances an eye over to Shinso. 'He won without resorting to that, and he didn't break any limbs either. So proud of you, Hitoshi, a feeling I've never lost since I met you eight years ago.'
"Well, with that over with, it's time to continue on with the next match." Valiant holds up the box, places it in front of himself, and then digs in. From it, he pulls number 1 and sighs with utter annoyance at this gag. "It's gonna be like this all day, isn't it?"
He tosses the 1 ball away and grabs another. "The heroes will be 6, Team TodoShou! Their villain team is 8, Team BakuIi!"
"Is he just going to keep doing that?" mutters Bakugo with annoyance.
"You know the rules; the villain team enters first to set up, and each team has three minutes to prepare."
…
Once the timer begins, Bakugo rushes out of the room the bomb's held up in. He reaches a hall leading to the stairs and remains there. 'Four eyes is all that's needed to protect that thing. I'll stay here and take them by surprise as soon as they arrive. My explosions are strong enough to take out that ice and Multi-Limb is just muscles.'
Unfortunately, what he failed to take into account was how fast the ice is. For as soon as he gets comfortable, the entirety of the building is soon encased in a frozen landscape. This includes himself, his legs frozen in place unable to break free.
"What the hell?" The flabbergasted boy can only watch in vain as he hears someone stepping inside and climbs the steps. Up steps Todoroki in his hero costume, walking past him.
Bakugo glares angrily as he walks by, completely ignored. "Damn you… DAMN YOU!"
Over with the rest of the students, they can only watch in shock as Todoroki effortlessly won the training all by himself. Shouji just stood there as he turned the building into a Popsicle.
"So manly," says Kirishima, her eyes batting in awe at Todoroki's brute power.
"I don't get it," says Uraraka in shock as she stares at the screen showing them everything. "Why doesn't Bakugo just blow the ice away? That's what he's good at."
"Because he can't," Izuku answers, sighing. "Kacchan's Quirk turns his sweat into nitroglycerin that he can use his hands to detonate with. No sweat, no explosions." He places a hand to his face. "This was his worst matchup."
"Ooh, scary," jokes Shinso with a frown. Whether it's from his skill or the chill, he shivers without will.
The class then watches as Todoroki takes hold of the bomb with his left hand. An intense wave of heat emits from that arm, melting all the ice within and without. Seeing it, Izuku pieces together what the left side does. "The right makes ice, and the left is fire."
"Heh, he's like a dragon," Shinso states, getting what Izuku was talking about.
Soon all the matches proceed as expected, some faster than others except for that second match. Valiant stands before his class staring at them all. "I hope you all enjoyed that. In the end, no one received major injuries, and I hope you all learned a thing or two about yourselves and each other."
"It was a little too straight forward," says the female redhead. "Which is fine, considering our last thing."
"After Aizawa-sensei almost expelling one of us," begins Asui, "a straightforward class is pretty unsatisfying."
"Do you want us to be expelled?" Shouji questions her.
"We teachers are allowed to teach the way we wish," is his main response, Val slightly sweating at that denouncing statement from the frog girl. "Now I'm off. You all change out of those costumes and return to the classroom." With that in their minds, Valiant walks away with a stretch in his arms.
Nothing else left to do, the group make their way back inside to change out. As they do, Yaoyorozu approaches Izuku and asks, "How was my analysis?"
"Pre-" He looks away from her, his head turning into a tomato. "Pretty accurate."
"Thank you," she says with a smile, "although it's curious why you never used your weapon."
"Oh, that's something I can't use yet," he tells her.
Elsewhere, Valiant enters the school building with a sigh. "Yeesh. I gotta do this tomorrow with Class 1-B?" He checks his phone before glancing over where the students he left went. "Well, at least he's doing well."
…
After all the students change out of their costumes, they all situate themselves in their homeroom class. With no more classes left, the twenty pre-adults leave for home once the time is right for them.
The first to leave, Izuku follows after Bakugo, who has already left in a hurry. "Yo, Kacchan!"
"Back off, Deku," he barks, moving faster to avoid his electric childhood friend. "I'm too pissed right now."
"I know," Izuku nods to the side agreeing with him. "You lost so easily."
"I said back off!" he shouts, before immediately coughing. He drops down to his knees and hacks up something yellow.
Grossed out, Izuku says, "It's okay though; I lost too, so I know how you feel."
"I lost because I literally could do nothing. My sweat froze before I could detonate it." The blond tightens his hold on his anger as he shivers, his body unable to stay still. "I was completely helpless!"
Remembering the entire event, Izuku sighs as he realizes just how similar this was to that moment, if only by a margin. What exactly could he do to help such a prideful person?
"Kacchan-"
"No, don't." His scarlet eyes focus onto those olive ones, the former pair turning watery. "I told you a time ago that I would be the greatest sole hero, and for the longest time I've always seen you as the one person, I would have to one day surpass. Do you know how humiliating it is to find out how far away that dream is?! How stupid I feel for boasting how strong and overpowered I'm supposed to be to those extras back in middle school?! I feel just as useless as I was when that slime bastard caught me!"
Izuku would lie if he didn't pity Bakugo right now; if he said he never felt sorry for him. But, he doesn't need that. "If that's how you feel, then just get stronger."
The explosive rival glares at him, calming down. "I'm going to get stronger too, so I don't end up losing like that again either. If you don't want me to pity you, don't let that loss get to you."
His eyes narrow into a dark and hateful rage before he gains a half-strong grin. "You bitch... you think I'm going to lie down and cry like a big gay baby?! I'm not giving up on my dream! To be the strongest, solitary hero every! Just like All Might! So wait for my progress, bitch!"
He wipes his face and storms away, grumbling under his breath. Izuku watches as his friend/rival/bully leaves the school premise, sighing as he thinks just how Bakugo functions. If he can learn to work with others, there's no telling where he can go. But being a solitary hero... that slime villain really scarred him.
Though before Izuku could leave for home, he remembers Shinso and how he was outclassed by him. He could hold him in his tracks, but he's far faster than he can predict, not to mention he's pretty smart to come up with that plan to capture the bomb. It was clearly to keep him busy and get an opening.
How would they fare against each other one on one?
…
Over in a section of Honshu far from Tokyo, a man can be found in the main building of the company Detnerat. Looking out the window he sits at his desk, reading a newspaper with a content smile on his face. This pointy-nosed man scans over this aged article from 17 years ago.
He places a finger to the photo on the page and slides it down, almost infatuated with this armored person and the destruction posted in that picture. He then turns the page whistling whimsically.
"Sir, we're back." The man turns around in his chair and glances at two associates who have entered his offer.
"Did you find him?"
"We found a clue. UA High School."
"Then you know what to do."
…
The following day, the students of UA can be found heading into class. For the class of 1-A, most of them are already inside with the rest following shortly before the bell could ring. It's a good thing too; as soon as their homeroom teacher enters, everyone quickly silences their mouths and their cellphones.
Their unkempt teacher checks his watch and nods. "Eight seconds. Much better." Aizawa steps before his desk, saying, "Good morning. I got a look at everyone's score, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with all of you." He then glances over at the group. "But first, Bakugo…"
The boy with topaz hair glares at his desk, but still listens nonetheless. "Do not be afraid to fail. That's what this is for."
He then adjusts himself, glaring at the whole of the class intensely. "Alright, now today is time for something more concerning. Sorry for the sudden announcement, but since it's apparently important…" Everyone goes tense with anticipation, for a pop quiz. "Today, you'll pick a classroom president."
The class eagerly shouts with joy at such a mundane school thing taking place. Soon the class goes into an uproar as many want to be the class president and are offering reasons: sparring sessions, class trips, and miniskirt Fridays are just some of the options thrown out there.
"Everyone, calm yourselves!" shouts Iida, getting everyone's attention. "It is the duty of the president of each class to lead and be there for all 19 others of their class. Only someone who can earn the trust of those around them can be fit to lead, which is why I suggest everyone votes for their representatives!"
Bakugo notes his arm raised as high as possible. "How about putting your hand down first, ya hypocrite?"
Asui speaks her mind now, saying, "How can we vote for anyone? We've only known each other for two days, so we don't really trust anyone."
"That's why I suggested we vote; surely, the one with the most votes will have earned enough trust to lead."
"But we're all just gonna vote for ourselves," says Kirishima with a handheld out holding her argument.
"I don't care, just hurry it up," Aizawa states this before slipping into his sleeping bag.
Eventually, the students vote for their chosen leader on slips of paper. The scores tally up on the electronic part of the board, showing every name everyone voted for. The highest two are Shinso at 3, with Yaoyorozu at two.
"Oh, damn it," mutters the winner.
"Oh, dang it," mutters the runner up.
"Oh well…" mutters the electric teen.
"Not a single vote…" groans Iida as he stews in his seat.
"Well, there you have it, your Class President is Shinso and his vice is Yaoyorozu."
Kei: That brings this chapter to an end. Next time we post will be... that's dependent. The next chapter won't be what you expected.
Yusei: Isn't it USJ?
Kei: *darts eyes left to right rapidly* I can honestly say without lying that the next three chapters will be featured in the Unforeseen Simulation Joint.
Yusei: Is it the League of Villain?
Kei: Also, be sure to look at our other works.
Yusei: Answer the question!
