MHA: Draigon
Coming back atcha with another chapter of My Hero Academia: Draigon! Sorry for the delay on the chapter, as usual I've been all over the place lately so I don't have as much time to work on this. That aside, we're nearing the start of the U.S.J incident so I hope y'all are ready for that whole mess to go down, also, at the U.S.J, Nemo'll be copying more powers, so try to see if you can guess who and I'll give a shout out to you in the chapter which the power you guessed will show up. With that out of the way, on with the fic…
They were surrounded, cameras at every angle. "What's it like to be so close to the Symbol of Peace?" Asked a reporter as she jammed a microphone in Nemo's face.
Nemo faked a smile. "It's great, he's a really cool guy to talk to when he's not punching villains hard enough to change the rain, Hey, can I see that mic for a sec? It'd be easier to understand me if I speak directly into it."
"Uh, sure." Said the reporter as she handed the mic over.
Nemo held it for about two seconds, and then crouched it, before setting it on fire and throwing it over your shoulder. "That'll be you if you pester my friends, k?" He asked with a glare. All the reporters stared at him, with looks of fear on their faces as Izuku and Katsuki watched from behind. "C'mon guys, let's get to class." Said Nemo.
"Decent work on yesterday's combat training you guys." Said Aizawa. "I saw the video feeds and went over each of your team's results. Bakugou other than your recklessness, you show great promise, same for you Midoriya. And Draigon-"
"Nemo." Said Nemo cutting him off
"And Draigon, while you showed great skill with your abilities, keep up the good work." Said Aizawa. "With that aside, let's get down to business. Our first task is gonna determine your future."
This got everyone worried. "I swear to god, if it's another Quirk test, I'm gonna make him eat that scarf." Thought Nemo in annoyance. Well, almost everyone.
"You need to pick a class representative." Said Aizawa.
"G.D.I." Thought Nemo with an annoyed expression. "Don't scare us like that."
"Pick me guys! I wanna be class rep!" Said Kirishima excitedly. He was the only one Nemo heard before the rest of the class also exploded with them saying that they wanted to be rep.
Nemo knew why everyone was freaking out, save for Izuku, the three of them knew that being the rep meant that you were in for more than doing extra work, in a hero course, it meant that you were more likely to get noticed by agencies, and learn to lead a team like a real pro. Then Nemo noticed that Izuku was starting to raise his hand.
"Silence! Everyone please!" Shouted Iida, making everyone quiet down and look at him. "The class representative's duty is to lead others, that's not something that just anyone can do, you must first have the trust of every student in the classroom, therefore, the most logical way to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose our leader."
"Clearly he wants us to vote for him." Thought Nemo with a deadpan expression.
"Is this really the best idea?" Asked the blonde and black haired boy.
"We've only known each other a few days, how do we know who we can trust?" Asked Asui.
"Besides, everyone wants to be the class rep, so we're all probably just going to vote for ourselves." Said Kirishima.
"Most people will, but that just means that whoever does receive multiple votes will prove that they're the most suitable person for the job." Said Iida. "It's the best way? Right sir?" He asked Aizawa.
"Do what you want? Just decide before my nap's over." Said Aizawa as he went to sleep in his sleeping bag.
"Where does he even hide that thing?" Wondered Nemo.
Thank you for your trust." Said Tenya. Nemo, Deku, and Bakugou all exchanged a look, then they all gave a smile at one another
The blackboard now had the words "Election Results" written on it as well as everyone's names. In the end, the winner was Nemo with five votes, followed by Izuku with three, and two to Yaoyorozu. "How did I get three votes!?" Exclaimed Izuku.
"Better yet, how did I get five? I didn't even vote for myself." Asked Nemo with a flat expression.
"D****t I only got one." Said Katsuki.
"Language." Said Nemo.
"F**k you Fish." Said Kacchan.
"And that's why nobody else voted for you." Said Sero.
"What did you just say!?" Demanded Bakugou. Nemo rolled his eyes and then looked over at Uraraka, who was just looking away and whistling. Nemo sighed and shook his head. Then he looked at a very distressed Iida.
"Zero votes?" Said the engine Quirk user. "I feared this might happen, but I can't argue with the system that I chose."
"So you voted for someone else?" Asked Momo.
"But you knew it was best to vote for yourself right?" Asked Satou. "What were you trying to prove here Iida?"
"Alright, the class rep is Draigon, and his deputy is Midoriya." Said Aizawa. The two students he mentioned were standing at the front of the class, Nemo's expression was bored and Deku was shaking like a leaf.
"And we're sure there wasn't a miscount?" Asked Midoriya.
"This might not be so bad." Said Asui.
"Yeah, I could get behind Nemo I guess." Said Eijirou.
"And Midoriya isn't half bad either, you saw their fights." Said the electric blonde.
"Who're you again? I don't think we ever met?" Asked Nemo.
"Kaminari, Denki Kaminari, a pleasure to meet ya." Said Denki.
"Same." Said Nemo, then he turned to Aizawa. "So, what's next?
"It's always so crowded in here." Said Uraraka.
"That's because students in the support, management, and hero courses all share the same cafeteria." Explained Iida. The two of them, along with Izuku, Nemo, and Katsuki were seated together and eating lunch.
"This rice is delicious." Said Ochako after taking another bite.
"I'm honestly not sure about this, I may only be the vice rep, but I'm still worried." Said Izuku.
"Don't worry." Said Uraraka.
"You'll be great." Said Iida. Izuku looked at them. "You're courage and quick thinking under stress will make you a worthy leader, not to mention the strength you demonstrated. Those are the reasons I voted for you at least."
"You were one of the three?" Asked Izuku in surprise.
"Didn't you wanna be rep really badly though? I mean you sure do look the part. "Cause of the glasses." Said Ochako.
"That's not how we should choose a rep, but what Tenya said was true, that's why I voted for you." Said Nemo.
"You too Nechan?" Asked Izuku.
"Wait, you voted for him too? But I also voted for Deku… and that makes three." Said Uraraka. Her and Tenya looked at Deku. "Who did you vote for then Deku?"
"Who me? I voted for Kacchan." Said Midoriya.
"But… he only got one vote…" Said Uraraka as her gaze turned to Katsuki, whom had been ignoring them in favor of some ramen that looked like it'd light on fire if it was any spicier.
"So if my assumptions are correct, Draigon-" Said Iida.
"Nemo." Said Nemo.
"Nemo voted for Midoriya, Midoriya voted for Bakugou, and Bakugou voted for Drai-, Nemo?" Continued Iida.
"Sounds about right." Said the trio of friends in perfect unison, causing the other two in the group to sweat drop.
"But now I'm curious to who else voted for him." Said Uraraka.
"Well Momo had two votes, so assuming she voted for herself, one other person in class voted for her, and the people who go zero votes were the ice guy, Tsuyu, Mashirao, Tooru, and Fumikage." Said Nemo.
"Todoroki." Said Iida.
"Eh?" Asked Nemo.
"His name is Shoto Todoroki." Said Tenya.
"I see… well, I doubt he voted for me, so perhaps he voted for Momo? Which means-" Said Nemo.
"That the ones you fought against were the ones who also voted for you." Said Izuku.
"Huh, I wonder why?" Asked Nemo.
"Maybe because you're strong and smart like Bakugou, but don't give off that, 'talk to me and you'll die' vibe." Said Uraraka.
"The h**l is that supposed to mean?" Snarled Katsuki.
"That a good chunk of our class is too scared to even talk to you." Said Nemo.
"Anyway, back to your question from before Uraraka, wanting a job and being suited for it are quite different things." Said Iida, deciding that now was a good time to change the subject. "Observing the Iida family's hero agency has taught me that much."
"Agency?" Asked Izuku and Ochako in surprise.
"Hold on, what does your family do?" Asked Deku.
"Uh, oh, it's nothing." Said Iida.
"Y'know, I've been wondering something about you," Said Uraraka, "admit it Iida, you're filthy rich!"
"Uh! I was afraid people's treat me differently if they knew about my family." Said Tenya. This only caused Midoriya and Ochako to lean in expectantly, causing Nemo to sweat drop and for Iida to sigh before continuing. "You see, the Iidas have been pro heros for generations, it runs in our blood."
"What!? That's awesome!" Said Izuku and Uraraka.
"Are you two familiar with the turbo hero Ingenium?" Asked Tenya.
"I know all about him! He's a super popular pro with sixty five sidekicks working beside him at his Tokyo agency." Said Izuku, then a look of realization appeared on his face. "Don't tell me…"
"He's my elder brother!" Said Iida proudly.
"You're famous!" Exclaimed Ochako.
"I can't believe it!" Said Izuku.
"I can." Said Katsuki and Nemo, catching the attention of the other three.
"What do you guys mean?" Asked Uraraka.
"Four eyes always seems so on edge and rule obsessed, now it makes some sense." Said Katsuki.
"Plus it makes sense considering his personality, how else do you think a boy raised in a family of heroes would turn out?" Asked Nemo.
"I suppose you have a point." Said Izuku.
"As I was saying, Ingenium is a hero who honors the hero code, as the second oldest Iida son, I strive to be just like him." Said Tenya. "However, I think it might be a bit soon for me to be in a real leadership role. You for example Midoriya, you figured out what the judges were looking for in the practical exam. A rep needs that sort of insight." This caused Nemo and Bakugou to give out snorts of amusement. "What is it?" Asked Iida.
"Deku didn't figure out s**t, he smashed the bot because Round face was in trouble, he just got lucky because of the whole hero points thing." Said Katsuki.
"Is that true Midoriya?" Asked Tenya.
"Yeah, it's like what Kacchan said, I had no clue about the hero points, I just saw that Uraraka was in danger and my body moved on its own from there. I hope this won't demean your opinion of me." Said Izuku as he scratched the back of his head."
"Why would it?" Asked Tenya with a smile. "Even if I was incorrect in my original assessment, you still proved my point, even though you thought you were gonna fail, you gave up your chance at getting into U.A. To save the life of another, that's equally admirable."
The others were all looking at him. "That's the first time I've seen you smile Tenya, you should do it more." Said Ochako.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Iida. "I smile all the time." Suddenly the bell began to rang, Nemo let out a cry as his hands clamped over his ears. What is that!?" Exclaimed Izuku.
"Warning! Level three security breach! All students evacuate the building in an orderly fashion." Said a voice over the speaker. Nemo looked and saw Iida talking to one of the other students, but he couldn't hear because it felt like his head was gonna explode because the noise was wreaking havoc on his enhanced hearing. Suddenly people started running.
Nemo's friends were all moving but stopped when they saw that Nemo wasn't with him. "Where the h**l is Fish!?" Demanded Katsuki.
"Look!" Said Uraraka as she pointed at Nemo, who was still standing in place with his hands over his ears.
"Oh no, the alarms! His super hearing isn't used to such loud noises!" Said Deku.
"I got him!" Said Ochako as she ran over and used her Quirk on Nemo, making him float, then she grabbed on to him and ran out with the others. The rest kind of vanished into a haze for Nemo.
After all was said and done, Izuku and Ochako explained to Nemo everything that'd happened, he sighed in frustration about letting his Quirk negatively effect him like that. Now Nemo and Izuku were in front of the class. "So, we need to figure out who the rest of the class officers will be." Said Nemo.
"Before we continue, can I say something?" Asked Izuku.
"Shoot." Said Nemo.
"I've thought a lot about this, and I'd like to give my position as vice rep to Tenya Iida." Said Izuku. This surprised most of his classmates. "He was able to capture everyone's attention and get us in line. So I believe that he's a more qualified second in command than myself."
Iida gasped. "Yeah, y'know what? If Midoriya vouches for him I'm good." Said Eijirou. "Plus He was a big help, he totally manned up and took charge right?"
"And did you notice how her looks like the guy on the emergency exit sign?" Asked Kaminari
"This is a waste of time, I don't care who the vice rep is just hurry up." Said Aizawa.
Tenya stood up. "If Midoriya is nominating me for this job, then I humbly accept! I pledge to carry out the duties of class rep to the best of my abilities." He said.
"Sounds good Emergency Exit." Said Kirishima.
It was that time of day again. "Today's training will be a little different, you'll have three instructors." Said Aizawa. "Me, All Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you."
"It's probably because of the breakin yesterday that we have three pros watching over us." Thought Nemo. Then a memory of Katsuki and Izuku's fight flashed through his head. "Or it's because they don't think one pro is enough to keep all of us from doing something stupid." He thought with a sweatdrop.
"Sir? What kind of training is this?" Asked Sero.
"Rescue training, you'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, etc." Explained Aizawa. Most of the class started talking excitedly after hearing that, Nemo decided to tune them out in favor of listening to his teacher. "Guys, I'm not finished yet." Said Aizawa, causing the chatter to die down. "What you wear in this exercise is up to you, I know you're excited about costumes," He pressed a button, causing numbered boxes to come out of the wall. "But you're not used to them yet and they might limit your abilities. Also this special training is at an off campus facility so we'll be taking a bus to get there." Then he started to walk away. "That's all, start getting ready." With that, everyone started getting changed.
Sorry for the long wait since my last update. I'll try, keyword try, to update a little more often. Like the chapter prior to the previous one, this was getting a little long so I'm cutting it off at here and will be continuing directly from where I cut off. USJ starts next chapter so I hope y'all are ready for a wild ride. Also I feel like it's a good idea that I showed that Nemo does have weaknesses, he isn't some nigh unstoppable monster. With that in mind, it's time for me to jet, so until next time fic fnas, Nemon0416 is outta here! (Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!)
