Do Your Best! Class President Chosen!
"You're going to choose a class president" Aizawa said. The class looked at him with interest while Goku just looked bored. He slumped back in his chair, folded his arms and closed his eyes. The majority of the class was going ballistic and Goku listened carefully to what Aizawa was inevitably going to say.
"I wasn't finished!" he threatened the class who immediately sat down and went silent. Aizawa continued with his explanation.
"You will decide yourselves who will be the class president. I'm going to have a nap and I expect you to have decided by the time I wake up" he explained before yawning and zipping up his sleeping bag before laying down on the floor. The class once more erupted into chaos with each attempting to explain why they'd be the best choice for class president.
"SILENCE!" yelled Iida at the top of his lungs catching the entire class' attention. Goku opened his right eye to see what was going on.
"We're heroes in training at UA! If we are to do this, we must hold a vote! That way we can be fair" he explained with maturity. Goku just smirked and closed his eye again only to hear Aizawa sit up and speak once more.
"I don't care how it's done just make sure it is before I wake up" he solemnly said before laying back down once more and going off to sleep with soft snores. Iida nodded and turned back to the class.
"Ok. We'll cast votes into a ballot box, count the results and whoever had the most votes will be the class president with the person with the second greatest number of votes being the vice president. You can only vote once and you can't vote for yourself!" he explained with multiple members of the class complaining. Goku sighed and sat up straight with his eyes open. He stood up, made his way to Aizawa's desk, picked up a piece of paper and then made his way back to his seat. After sitting down, he took a pen from his pocket and took off the lid. He then tapped his pen against his face as he thought about who would be the most efficient class president. He couldn't vote for himself, not that he wanted the position anyway, and he wasn't sure who was qualified enough. He looked at his class with beady eyes.
Deku looked nervous which meant he was out. Bakugo was well…Bakugo. Half n half didn't seem interested. The midget with purple balls on his head creeped Goku out. The pink-skinned girl with pink hair, black eyes with yellow pupils and horns coming out of her head looked too immature. This process continued until he laid his eyes on one particular member of the class who seemed pretty calm about the situation. He considered their intelligence, maturity and position in the class before deciding that he would vote for them. With that he wrote their name down on the piece of paper, folded it up and moved to put it in the ballot box. He then waited for the results to be read out.
"Okay. So, these are the results. In first place is Midoriya and in second place is Yaoyorozu. Therefore, Midoriya will be our class president and Yaoyorozu will be the vice president" announced Iida who showed visible frustration and disappointment on his face. Deku's eyes went wide in shock and he struggled to find the words to respond. Momo herself looked disappointed until she caught Goku looking at her with a smile. A frown appeared on her face before Goku quickly made his way over to her table and leaned over to talk to her.
"You look upset. Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll be great. Hey wanna know a secret Momo?" he asked. Momo looked at with curiosity.
"Um. Yes, I guess. What is it Goku?" she asked with interest. Goku smiled, stood up straight and gave Momo and thumbs up with a wink.
"It's about your votes. One of them was me. I figured you deserved it due to how smart, mature and well qualified for the position you are. So even if you got the position of vice president, I'll support you. Got it?" he said supportively. Momo blushed before returning Goku's kind words with a thumbs up. Goku gave a goofy smile and rubbed the back of his head. He then gave a little wave and walked back to his desk. It was at this moment the bell for lunch went off and the class made for the lunch hall. Aizawa continued to snore and the class chuckled as they walked past. They arrived at the lunch hall and split off into their friendship groups. Goku sat down with Jiro, Kaminari and Momo who didn't look shocked as he walked over with trays of food; they had grown accustomed to it by now. The rest of UA on the other hand looked shocked. As Goku sped through his meal the school alarm went off and the entire hall went into panic with the belief that it was a villain. Goku meanwhile jumped up, rushed for the exit and began to take off his tie.
"Woohoo! Finally, a real challenge! I can't wait!" he celebrated as Jiro, Kaminari and Momo ran after him. The latter three were unfortunate enough to get caught in the swarms of students making for the exits themselves. Goku rushed to the entrance of UA, kicked open the door with an enthusiastic smile on his face and got into his fighting stance. Instead he came face to face with a group of reporters being kept back by UA staff. His face immediately dropped and he stood up straight.
"God damn it. So much for a fight" he sighed before walking back inside and closing the door behind him. As he walked into a hallway, he saw the students dispersing and looked behind him and up to see Iida dropping down from above.
"Uh Iida. Why were you up there?" Goku laughed with Iida pushing his glasses onto his face.
"Simple. I discovered that it was a group of reporters outside and this was the most efficient way of letting everyone know" he proudly stated. Deku and Uraraka ran over to the pair and congratulated Iida on his quick thinking.
"Great job Iida! Sure is lucky that it wasn't an actual villain." Deku stated while Goku sighed in frustration; a sign Uraraka picked up on.
"What's up Goku? You seem upset. Is something wrong?" she asked with a look of concern.
"It's just that I was looking forward to some action Chaco. I've not had any exhilarating battles yet" he complained. Uraraka just looked even more confused. Goku just smiled before continuing.
"Look. When you're as strong as I am nothing really feels like a challenge. Deku wants to be number one and keep people safe with a smile. Iida wants to live up to his brother's name. You want to earn money to help your parents out" he confessed. All three looked shocked with Uraraka looking nervous at the prospect of Goku judging her. Goku just laughed before waving his hands in front of him to calm her down.
"I heard the conversation. You guys sure do talk loudly. And don't worry Chaco. I'm not judging you. I think it's heroic that you're thinking of your parents struggles and working towards helping them out" he commended with Uraraka blushing and getting embarrassed.
"Goku what's your reason for becoming a hero? Is it really just to fight strong villains?" Deku questioned which caught Goku off-guard. Goku turned to face his friend before sighing and losing the smile on his face.
"Honestly no it's not. I want to become a hero to protect people. I've seen first hand what villains can do and it led to me losing something very dear to me. I have no intention of letting that happen to anyone else" he explained with his friends listening with sympathy and understanding.
"But what happens if one day you fight a villain that is even more powerful than you and you can't save the person you're protecting?" Iida asked. Goku's eyes narrowed and his gaze hardened.
"Not an option. If that happens, I'll push my power to even greater heights than ever before. I'll beat the bad guy and save people even if it kills me!" he said with dignity, resolve and strength. Deku had to admit that he admired Goku's courage. Eventually the four noticed that everyone else had gone back to their classes and they were standing there awkwardly.
"We should probably head back to homeroom. I bet the rest of our class are wondering where we are" Iida stated with Goku, Deku and Uraraka nodding and together they made their way back to Class 1-A. They were the last to return and walked in just as Aizawa was beginning to stir.
"Did he really sleep through that entire thing?" Deku asked and Pinky, as Goku had taken to calling her for the time being, responded quickly and enthusiastically.
"Yep! He sure has or my name isn't Mina Ashido!" she said with a big smile. The class laughed and sat down in their seats to avoid being reprimanded. Aizawa stood up, (still in his sleeping bag), looked at the class and unzipped his sleeping bag before standing at his desk.
"Alright. Class president and vice class president please come to the front so I know who you are" he mumbled just loud enough for the class to here. Deku and Momo did as instructed at stood at the front of the class. There was a look of determination of Deku's face which was strange.
"I'd just like to say that while I'm honoured for this role, I don't think I quite deserve it. The person who does is Iida as it was his quick thinking and leadership that calmed everyone down during that mass panic. Therefore, I would like to hand the role of class president over to him" he announced with the entire class, especially Iida, looking shocked before congratulating Iida on what he had done. Iida stood up and made his way over to Deku before shaking his hand and allowing his friend to return to his seat.
"Thank you Midoriya for this honour! I will not let you or Class 1-A down!" he firmly stated with the class, minus Bakugo and half n half, erupting into cheers. Goku smiled before glancing over to Momo who looked upset. Using his quirk, he flicked a small ball of ki towards her, catching her attention. She looked over at him and he gave her a small smile and a thumbs up.
"I believe in you regardless of whether you are class president or not. Never forget that" he supportively whispered for only her ears. Momo gave him a smile of gratitude before wiping away the tears that had welled up in her eyes. She then turned to Iida to congratulate him. Goku leaned back in his chair and breathed outwards while Jiro, who was behind him and had noticed his kind gesture, just smiled at her friend. All was as it should be for the moment. A fun and supportive environment. It stayed like this for a short time until a certain sleep deprived hero snapped back to reality.
"Alright that's enough. Go get your hero costumes on. We're going on a field trip"
