UA (Day)

"Even though I've been chosen as class rep, I don't know if I'm qualified for it." Midoriya said as he ate his lunch.

"You are. It'll be fine." Iida said, assuring the boy. "Your courage and judgment at critical moments make you worth following. That is why I voted for you."

"Wait, you voted for him?" Dominic asked, surprised. "I thought you'd vote for yourself. After all, you made it blatantly clear that you wanted the job more than anyone else."

"Yeah. I mean, you've got glasses and everything." Uraraka said.

'She just talks without thinking, doesn't she.' Jiro thought to herself.

"Wanting to do it and being suitable for it are different issues. I merely did what I judged to be correct." Iida explained.

"Merely?" Midoriya said, repeating the bluenette. "You don't usually use that word."

"I've been thinking." Uraraka began, getting the attention of the rest of the table. "Are you a rich boy, Iida?

"I tried to change how I talk because I didn't want to be called that." the boy said, hanging his head. Feeling the stares of his friends, he told them the truth. "Yes, my family has been heroes for generations. I'm the second son. Do you know the Turbo Hero, Ingenium?"

"I've heard his name here and there." Dominic said, recalling a high-speed chase just before school began.

"He's a really popular hero who has 65 sidekicks working at his Tokyo agency!" Midoriya said, unnerving Dominic and Jiro. "Wait, don't tell me!"

"He is my elder brother!" Iida said proudly, reminding the blonde of his own family. "He is a likable hero who honors the rules and leads people. I set my sights on being a hero because I want to be like my brother."

'Just like Ruby.' Dominic thought to himself, smiling at the thought of his younger sister.

"However, I think it is still too soon for me to lead others." Iida continued. "Unlike me, Midoriya realized the point of the practical portion of the Entrance Exam, so he is more suitable for the job."

"I think that's the first time I've seen you smile, Iida." Uraraka said.

"I smile!" the bluenette yelled, almost insulted at the girl's words.

At that moment, an alarm started to blare, forcing Dominic and Jiro to cover their ears from the shock. "There has been a Level 3 security breach. All students please evacuate outdoors promptly." it said, repeating itself over and over. Seeing his first friend from this world in pain, the trainer used his magic to melt the nearest sirens into scrap metal. This dimmed the noise, allowing Jiro to breathe a sigh of relief.

'I'm having words with whoever's in charge of the PA system after this.' Dominic thought to himself, angered for the umpteenth time today. Knowing about Jiro's sensitive hearing, he handed her a pair of earmuffs made from Altaria feathers.

"What's Level 3 security?" Iida asked a student sitting next to him.

"It means someone's trespassing on school grounds!" they answered. "I've never seen anything like this in the three years I've been here! You should hurry, too!" With that, the student left their seat and ran off.


UA (Day)

As it turned out, evacuating with 3,000-something students all in a panic was just as easy as one would expect. Dominic, Iida, and the others were all cramped together, as the mob of frightened teenagers made it difficult to move much.

"As expected of the best of the best." Iida said, struggling to stand straight up. "Everyone reacts quickly in a crisis!"

"They're so quick that it's causing a panic!" Midoriya said, trying not to focus on the fact that his foot was stepped on.

In all the commotion, Iida was pressed up against the window, allowing him to see what was happening outside. "I wondered what it was, but it's just the media. Everyone, calm do-" The boy never got to finish his sentence, as he was pushed even harder against the glass by the crowd. 'Where are the teachers? Are they busy trying to deal with everything? Is there anyone here who knows everything's fine?' he wondered as the mob got even more restless. And that's when genius struck him. "Xiao-Long!" he called out, getting the blonde's attention.

"What?" Dominic asked, his eye having turned red from stress.

"Do you have any Pokemon that can fly?" Iida asked, surprising the trainer.

Taken off-guard, he opened his mouth to respond. However, one of his Poke Balls flew out of his pocket before he had the chance. It opened, releasing a golden sword with two ribbon-like arms and an ornate shield. "Evidently, yes. Aegislash, help Iida!"

The Royal Sword Pokemon floated above the crowd and lowered it's arms to the bluenette. Determined, Iida raised his hand to the Ghost-Type, who managed to lift him completely off the ground. "I need you to take me to that exit sign." the boy requested, using his free hand to point to the green light. He could've sworn he saw Aegislash's eye flash gold as it floated to the wall. Once he was where he needed to be, Iida spoke up. "Everyone! Everything's fine! It is just the media! There is nothing to panic about. Everything's fine! This is UA. Let us act in a way befitting the best of the best."

After that, the police arrived. Luckily for the media, Dominic passed out in the hall before he was able to set Blacephalon loose on them.


UA (Day)

"Now, let us decide on the other class officers." Midoriya said to his class, trembling. "But first, can I say something? I think that Iida Tenya should be the class rep after all!" he shouted, surprising many of his classmates. "He was able to get everyone's attention in an effective way. So I think it would be best for Iida to do it."

Dominic stayed silent, but agreed wholeheartedly because he knew that Iida was truly worthy. The reason for this? Aegislash leaving it's Poke Ball of it's own volition to help him.

'Aegislash, the Royal Sword Pokemon. Type: Steel/Ghost. Generations of kings were attended by these Pokemon, which used their spectral power to manipulate and control people and Pokemon. Apparently, it can detect the innate qualities of leadership. According to legend, whoever it recognizes is destined to become king.'

The trainer recalled the day Doublade Evolved into Aegislash. The moment it set it's eye on him, it immediately bowed. Years later, Dominic did become a king. If the Pokemon also went out of it's way to help Iida, then maybe he too was fit to be a leader.


Up next is the USJ, and an extremely powerful Pokemon will make an appearance as well!
