The light from the blast overwhelmed the monitors forcing those in attendance to look away as a flash of worry crossed each student and the teacher.
"Bakugou, what were you thinking?" Midoriya questioned.
– Battleground –
Ilda was mid-sprint when the blast went off "What the heck was that!?" he questioned, Koda hid as the explosion ripped through the air, Bakugou's remaining team were in similar states of confusion and panic.
"What was that!? Did a gas line blow!?" Uraraka yelled as she, Tokoyami, and Sato remained behind to defend the briefcase.
The blast site was covered in kicked-up dust and debris so the cameras were unable to see the result of Bakugou's reckless attack.
– Observation Booth –
The class was frozen as they awaited for the dust to settle and reveal if their classmates were dead or miraculously survived the literal bomb Bakugou had dropped.
"Hey look, it's clearing up!" Kaminari called as if nobody wasn't watching the monitors with bated breath.
And to their surprise (and relief) they saw their classmates unharmed, Todoroki seemingly had thrown up a truly massive ice wall that luckily held up against the blast.
"He doesn't look too good" Jiro commented, true that Todoroki's body had been almost completely covered in frost buildup due to the amount of ice he had to produce to protect himself and his classmates, and it shows as his body was shaking like a leaf his breaths were billowing like a chimney and was almost frozen to the spot.
All Might took the microphone in hand "Young Todoroki are you alright!?" panic and fear were evident in his voice but he received no answer or indication of one from the prone teen. Ramming his finger down on a button on the control panel requesting emergency medical assistance.
"The test has been canceled due to Young Bakugou's reckless behavior and Young Todoroki's critical state, Young Bakugou you'll be receiving punishment for that reckless stunt you pulled this isn't an option," he said sternly into the mic before pulling his headset off so he couldn't hear his students reply to the disciplinary action.
Turning to the group behind him "You can head to the locker rooms while I deal with this issue children" he said before disappearing in a burst of speed out of the door.
The group of students walked out after that, they were mostly quiet.
"I hope Todoroki is alright," he heard Sero say from behind him.
"Yeah hopefully nothing bad happens to him, he didn't look too good back there," Kaminari said as he and the other boys entered the locker rooms to change back into their uniforms while the girls split from them to head to the females locker room.
– Battlefield –
Mina and Kirishima looked at their leader nervously, he was shaking SO bad they didn't know what to do and that was making them worry.
"Step back young Mina and Kirishima I'll handle this," All Might said, appearing behind them.
"Are you sure?" Mina said nervously fiddling her thumbs, her worry evident in her expression.
"Yes I am sure, I will deal with Young Todoroki and Bakugou," he said as he gently lifted and placed the unconscious half-and-half user on the stretcher of the medical bots as he then jumped over the massive pile of ice to the side in which Bakugou sat seething in rage as he smashed the ice away at his leg.
"Now Young Bakugou what you did was truly reckless if Young Todoroki didn't create that glastier you could've likely killed those three" All Might began, his normal energetic tone replaced by a stern lecturing tone.
"They would've been fine if they dodged!" Bakugou immediately barked back, annoyed that the exercise was canceled.
"And what if they haven't?" this made Bakugou freeze "what?" he questioned.
"I said and if they hadn't been able to avoid your attack what do think would've happened?" the pro questioned "You could've seriously harmed or even killed them with a blast of that magnitude" he explained further, he noticed that Bakugou had gone into a panicked state (imagine his reaction to losing to Izuku the first time).
Sighing he allowed the medical bots to take the injured blonde to the infirmary, he was gonna have to write up a student on his first lesson as a teacher, this was gonna suck.
Later that evening Izuku was waiting at the gates for his friends when he noticed Akemi approaching.
"Oh hey, Akemi!" He called waving, gaining the tall girl's attention.
"Hey, Greenie! And didn't I tell you to call me Kemi?" she scolded playfully.
"Oo oh sorry" he replied blushing.
"So what're you doing?" she questioned.
"Oh I'm just waiting for my friends, they went to check on Todoroki's condition," he said, shuffling his feet.
"Oh cool," she said with a smile "Why didn't you go with them?" she questioned.
"Oh Recovery Girl said only a few can visit at a time so I decided to hang back on the rest can visit him"
"Ah, I hope he is okay," Kemi said absentmindedly, fiddling around on her phone. They stood awkwardly for a minute before he said.
"Shouldn't you be heading home?" he questioned.
"I thought I would stay with you, I'm only like a five-minute walk" she responded simply "My family is kinda rich and owns a noodle shop nearby and I'm staying there while I go to UA so
"O oh" Izuku responded not expecting that response, she chuckled at the response.
"What's with that face Midori? Didn't expect to hear you would have two rich classmates?" She teased and confused him.
"W w wait two rich classmates?" he asked, now it was Kemi's turn to be confused.
"Yeees… Me and Yaomomo" She said as if stating the obvious.
"Wait wait wait you and Yaoyorozu are rich?" He asked, confused trying to wrap his head around this revelation.
"Oh yes my family runs several food businesses, mostly around noodle shops and bathhouses around Japan but my family also dabbles in the export and import of fabrics and other stuff I ain't too sure about which is where my father and Yaoyorozu met," she said.
"So you and Yaoyorozu knew each other before U.A.?" He questioned.
"Not really, we knew of each other but never met in person until today" she explained.
"Oh that explains why she didn't recognize you in class," Izuku said. He was about to continue the conversation when he was interrupted.
"Yeah, but you should come over to my family's shop sometime. Cutie It will be great to see some recognizable faces in that place, it's Hiroshi Noodle Shop" She teased, causing his face to go nuclear.
"Hey, guys!" turning he saw it was his friends, it was Mina and Kirishima leading the pack with Ochako and Ilda following behind, quickly Midoriya fixed his blush as best as he could before they could notice.
"Oh hey, Kirishima, Mina how was Todoroki doing?" He questioned.
"Oh, Recovery Girl wanted to keep him overnight but says he shall be fine in the morning" Mine explained, causing Midoriya to release a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad to hear that," He said.
"So what are you guys talking about?" Kirishima asked, looking between the two curiously.
"Oh, nothing, just getting to know each other better" Kemi answered before turning to said person "Sorry but I should be going bye guys see you tomorrow!" she called before walking off and down the street.
Mina turned back to him with a mischievous smile but was quickly interrupted by Midoriya "We should get going as well it's getting late and I don't want to miss the train" he may have only been a friend of Mina for a day but he already knew what kinda girl she was, the "spill the tea" variety and he refused to fuel rumors about him and Kemi on their second day of school.
"Oh come on you don't even know what I was gonna say!" Mina said, running after her green-headed friend.
"Yes I do" he promptly said and continued forwards causing Mina to shaft and whine which made Kirishima laugh "He got your personality down already and it hasn't even been a day!" he teased, causing Mina to gawk.
"I'm not that predictable!" She insisted on huffing, only to make the two guys laugh in response.
– That Night –
Midoriya was getting ready for dinner when he heard his phone ding from his bedside table. Picking it up he noticed he got a message from Nejire which read.
Airhead (Her username): Hey Midori! I have a question about the meetup this weekend.
Izuku frowned slightly and responded.
The Gatherer: Is something wrong, do you need to cancel?
Airhead: Oh no no! I'm still free. Mirio and Tamaki have just been curious about your friend and were hoping to join us… well more Mirio, Tamaki just didn't want to be alone and asked to join.
The Gatherer: I need to run it by Mina and Kirishima first. I don't see anything wrong with it, but I need to eat dinner.
Airhead: Alright see ya!
Midoriya went and enjoyed dinner with his family with the little conversation slipping his mind and he forgot to ask before heading to bed.
– The Next Day –
Midoriya and his friend group specifically Ochako, Mina, and Kirishima were walking down the street, and like the day before Mina was teasing him about his and Akemi's meet-up.
"Ugh, Mina I will tell you what I told you before! She just invited me to come around to her family's shop sometime we aren't going on a date!" he exclaimed, annoyed.
"Alright sheesh, I'm just messing with you Midori~" she teased, throwing her arm over his shoulder and leaning on him playfully but was pulled off by Kirishima.
"Sorry about her, Midobro she is always after "the tea" as she calls it" he apologized, placing the pink-skinned girl down on the ground causing Midoriya to laugh.
"Oh I know she's after "the tea" but she ain't getting any from me!" he said, jabbing his finger playfully into her side causing her to yelp and giggle at the sudden motion before pouting.
"Oh come on…" she whined before pouting.
"No! Anyways, since we were planning to go out to eat this weekend, why not go to the noodle shop? She told me which it was" He questioned.
"I don't mind, what about you Mina?" Kirishima questioned the pinkette.
"Yeah me neither It would be good to see her and this Nejire you talk about" she teased again causing him to facepalm but this made him remember Nejire's request.
"Oh Nejire messaged me last night and asked if a couple of her friends could come to the meetup"
"Hey the more the merrier am I right?" Mina questioned.
"Yeah I don't mind, it would be great to get to know them," Kirishima said.
"I'll tell her right now," he said, fishing his phone from his pocket and sending Nejire a quick message and getting a quick response.
Airhead: That's great and sounds good! Can't wait for this Saturday Midori~
Was her response and even sent a wink emoji in response making him chuckle and tuck his phone away.
They continued their walk but quickly noticed a large group of people in front of the gates.
"Hey what's going on?" Ochako questioned tilting her head to the side, as they approached Midoriya couldn't hide his sigh of annoyance… reporters upon noticing the quadrio immediately began to swarm them asking them questions faster than they could respond.
"How's it like to be taught by the symbol of peace!?" "How's All Might in person!?" "What's he like in person!?" were some of the various questions thrown at them and this quickly overwhelmed most of them besides Izuku who sneered in annoyance his hand popping with small accidental explosions which made the reporters back off of him.
Quickly clenching his fist to silence the small fireworks "You do realize you are disturbing the peace? And preventing several students from reaching school oh and then there's the potential harassment by trying to force us by answering questions and getting into our personal space so unless you want me to call the police I suggest you leave us alone" he said and for emphasis drawing his phone out. This made the reporters around him retreat grumbling in annoyance as he quickly ushered the friend group into the front gates.
Calming himself down Midoriya shook his head "Sorry about that guys I just hate the media" he sighed in annoyance again as he walked towards class. His friends silently follow him choosing not to ask about his declared hatred towards the press.
The class sat idly around class waiting for homeroom to begin, most everybody was there except Todoroki and Bakugou though the conversation was on something else currently.
"Man those reporters were unrelenting," Kirishima said, rubbing his head.
"Yeah I couldn't get past them without like 5 mics in my face demanding me to tell them about All Might and what he was like," Sero said, sighing in annoyance.
"I can understand why you hate them now, Midori-Kun," Mina said sitting on the desk in front of the greenette, this confused Sero and Kaminari.
"Wait wait wait, why do you hate the press?" the blonde questioned the multi-quirk user causing him to sigh in annoyance.
"Well my dad is a cop so he deals with the press on most jobs and he often tells me about his experiences with the greediness and uncaring attitude of the reporters he's seen and I agree with him, the press is nothing but greedy leeches that don't care about who they may hurt or slander if it means they can get a scoop," he said venom lacing his voice.
"Sheesh and coming from you of all people I'm inclined to believe it," Mina said jokingly, the conversation continued from there branching to how their afternoon had been the previous day before shifting back to something else.
"Where do you think they are?" Sero questioned casting a glance at the two empty seats.
"Dunno maybe they suspended or expelled Bakuhoe," Mina suggested but was quickly chastised by Ilda for such language. Before anything else could happen Aizawa walked in followed by the two missing students, the ones already present quickly ushered themselves to their seats.
"4 seconds, impressive" The sleepyheaded teacher muttered before motioning the two to their seats. Aizawa took his place behind his desk.
"Before we begin I would to make a few announcements, for starters despite his incident yesterday it has been decided Bakugou will continue his stay in the Heroes Course but he's on thin ice, he can continue participating in Heroics activities but he is banned from using his gauntlets if he attempts to use them even once he will be either be expelled or reassigned to a different class" he began glaring at the pomeranian as if daring him to speak up but he didn't.
"I also thought to remind those who may not have read the syllabus that, U.A. runs a 3-strike system. The first strike is a warning and a write-up, and the second strike can result in a demotion to a different class, and finally the third is permanent expulsion from this school, understand?" He questioned scanning the room and once he was satisfied with the nods and looks of acknowledgment he cleared his throat.
"Now for the final and most important announcement" he began hiding his grin behind his capture weapon as he scanned their anxious and frightened looks.
"You have to pick a class rep," he said causing everyone besides a select few to think *"That's so normal!"* they thought in unison.
"To avoid making a scene we'll hold an election, you will write down the name of who you think would be best for Class Representative and their Vice Rep on a piece and paper and place it in this box," He said reaching under the desk and retrieving a shoe box with a crude slot cut into the lid "Once everyone has placed their votes I will count them and the two with the most votes will be the Class Representative and Vice Representative oh and to make sure we don't get a bunch of single votes, you can't vote for yourself" Aizawa described dropping the crudely made ballot box onto the desk and curling up In his signature yellow sleeping bag to catch a minute or two of rest. Once he disappeared into the sleeping bag the room was filled with the sound of paper being pulled out.
"Who should I vote for?"* Midoriya thought to himself *"Ilda seems like he could be a good leader, Kirishima seems like he can rally a team but looks to be a follower more than a leader, Todoroki seemed to be quick-witted and fast to react with that glacier, then there's Kemi she is smart picking a diverse team during the team building exercise as well as being very sociable and friendly…"* his thoughts trailed off as he wrote down his votes, Akemi as Rep and Ilda as the vice rep, as much as he wanted to choose Todoroki he just doesn't seem to be the best with social interactions which he was sure this position would have him interacting a lot with people and Ilda just seemed a more sociable type.
Once everyone placed their votes into the box Aizawa got up and took a sip from his juice pouch making a few students wonder where it came from, Aizawa opened the box and read through the various slips of paper.
"Alright I'll just read off those who didn't get a vote Jiro, Hagakure, Koji, Sato, Tokoyami, Bakugou, Mina, and Aoyama," He said, causing said students to sulk in their seats beside Bakugou who fumed.
"The ones who got one or two votes are Ilda, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, Sero, Shoji, and Kaminari" He read off making those perks up as they at least vote.
"Finally before the two reps, those who got three or four votes are Kirishima, Ojiro, and Asui" he read, making Kirishima fist pump in victory and Ojiro bashfully rubbing their head, Tsuyu remained emotionless.
"The class representative is Midoriya with Akemi as the vice rep" He finished dully, normally he would've just written down the student's names and their number of votes on the board or just said who the Rep and Vice rep would be, but decided to put on this show for lack of a better term to lessen any stress caused by the incident yesterday as suggested by Recovery Girl. "Now come forward and stand in front of the class" he instructed the horned girl and the nervous greenette came to stand up.
Midoriya gulped and began to speak up "I don't know what to say honestly, I didn't expect to be chosen as the class representative but I'll do my best to make sure you don't regret this decision," he said, summoning up the courage to speak. He got applause from Kirishima and Mina. The rest of the morning classes went by and soon lunch rolled around Midoriya sat at a table nursing a bowl of Katsudon while his friends Mina, Kirishima, Ilda, and Ochako sat around him but was also joined by a few others mainly Kaminari, Shoji, Aoyama, Kemi, Tsuyu and Sero.
"You alright Midobro?" He heard Kirishima and nodded blushing.
"Yes Kirishima sorry for being quiet I'm just trying to wrap my head around being class rep" He admitted rubbing his head.
"Don't worry I know you'll make a great class rep Midori! I voted for you for a reason~" Mina said jumping in on the conversation.
"Yeah, same here Midobro! I know you'd make an amazing leader!" Kirishima added, pumping his fist.
"So you two voted for me?" He asked, blushing.
"Yep" and "Of course!" was his answers from the duo.
"I also voted for Midoriya! He was truly amazing during the entrance exam and this was shown again in the exercise yesterday" Ilda said, causing another bout of blushing.
"I also voted for Izuku-Kun" muttered Ochako quietly, but Izuku's enhanced hearing picked it up.
"Okay, I'm just curious, who else here voted for Midori? Cause I also" Kemi suddenly spoke up jokingly raising her hand most of the table voicing their decision and this caused him to go nuclear.
"Yeah dude gave me free info to improve my quirk and costume," Kaminari said "Btw I sent that sketch you gave me in and the new one should come in, in a day or two," he said to Midoriya confusing the rest of the table besides those who were on his team during the exercise.
"What are you talking about?" Questioned Mina.
"Midoriya here gave us a few free tips to improve our costumes and quirks and must I say the tips he gave me are Étonnant~," Aoyama said from his end of the table.
"I don't know what that means but his tips were helpful. I'm working on a couple he gave me and signed up for a staff fighting class," Kaminari said. Shoji also spoke up for the first time "I also took a stick fighting class"
"Oh, that's amazing Kaminari and Shoji!" Ilda exclaimed "As expected of students of UA seeking to improve yourself outside school hours"
"Now I'm curious about what you have on the rest of us Midori~," Akemi said but before he could respond a loud blaring alarm forced him to cover his ears to shield himself from the noise, "Enhanced Hearing" had its strengths but also major weaknesses and he currently was experiencing the backlash of the biggest weakness as sudden loud noises hurt A LOT as he was unable to turn his quirk off in time.
"ATTENTION all students security level 3 has been broken all students please evacuate in a calm and orderly fashion!"
"What does level 3 mean!?" Mina questioned as they rose to their feet and began to follow the crowd, thinking quickly Midoriya reached forwards and grabbed an upperclassman by the arm, and pulled them closer.
"What does level 3 mean?" Midoriya echoed Mina.
"It means someone infiltrated the building; this hasn't happened in all my years at this school!" they said their voice laced with panic. The horde of students pushed and shoved against each other trampling the smaller students and separating the friend group, smashing the glasses-wearing teen into the nearby window allowing him to see outside.
Outside Aizawa and Ectoplasm were dealing with a large group of… reporters who were trying to push past the duo but were walled off by Ectoplasm's clones.
"You're not allowed to be here, leave," Aizawa said, suppressing the headache that was developing while dealing with the vultures in front of him.
Ilda grunts as he was shoved into the window again *"It's only the press! How did they get on campus? I must warn everybody!"* he said as his friends were dealing with the crowd, seeing his friends getting trampled, Midoriya's eyes glow a bright yellow as he activated "Broadcast" which allowed the bearer to project their voice through nearby electronics such as radios, phones, or in Midoriya's case UA's PA system as it was combined with "Boost", "Amplifier" and "Enhance Function" This allowed Midoriya to connect to the main system and allow the greenette to project his voice across the campus.
"Everybody stop panicking! You're all UA students, you should be setting an example by remaining calm in a stressful situation!" He spoke as loud and as calmly as he could, his voice echoing through the school causing the students to stop and listen, quieting enough that Ilda was able to call out to his classmate having recognized the voice on the speakers.
"Midoriya, it's just the press, there aren't any villains!" he called waving his arm robotically towards the nearest window where the press were being corralled by Ectoplasm. Nodding towards his friend in thanks he continued his message.
"There isn't a need to panic, the press has just gotten on the school grounds so, please remain calm and orderly while evacuating," he said, his eyes returning to the normal hue. Thankfully the student's panic had subsided and they realized the idiocy and began to calmly evacuate those near them who had even helped the students that had fallen in the panic and were getting trampled.
Midoriya sighed, rubbing his temples, an action noticed by Mina who was closest to him "Are you okay Midori-Kun?" she questioned.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine it's just I'm getting a headache, Broadcast doesn't have the greatest range and I had to use 3 boosting quirks to reach the main system, and using more than 3 quirks can cause a small headache to form depending on which types I use" he explained as his classmates approached him worried for their class rep.
"Hey man, I got you if you need it" Kaminari offered from his side.
"No I'm fine it's passed already, we should join our class" he ushered the group forwards towards the classroom, and his classmates quickly followed suit. Unbeknownst to him, Midoriya's actions were caught by a certain rat satan, he had been about to make a similar announcement to calm his students down but the greenette had beat him to it, in his hand er paw was a cup of tea as he released a small chuckle or more closely a cackle which made Snipe, who was just outside his office and about to knock immediately turn and jog(run) back which he came from.
"Interesting very interesting Mr. Midoriya~"
