Yuko hated to look down on people but when Tenya had gone against the dual-quirked male, she knew, he wouldn't win. It was only logical, though they were both from hero families, it was quite obvious Shoto had more fighting experience. Though the blue haired male put up a good fight, it wasn't surprising when he lost.
But Yuko did think he'd win at first with his Reciproburst, she still wasn't surprised when Shoto had froze his legs, leaving him the winner of the match.
But when Katsuki and Shoto went against each other, she wasn't sure who would win. They were both strong, and unpredictable. But the whole time, Yuko could tell Katsuki wanted him to use his fire. And she thought he was when Izuku yelled out, and he lit his left side. But then it went out, and Katsuki sent him flying out of bounds.
People were shocked, especially when Katsuki grabbed the unconscious male, demanding he fight with his full power. His aggressiveness lead to Midnight having to put him to sleep with her quirk, and the two were carried away.
When it was time for the award ceremony, Yuko had to hold herself from laughing at Katsuki. But when she heard Tenya had to leave due to a family emergency, she instantly grew worried. And she knew Night could sense that too, cause soon as she felt such emotion, he instantly tried cheering up, through their bond. Which she was touched by.
After the sports festival, and after Aizawa dismissed class, the first place she went to, was the hospital. Where she instantly grew happy, when her father told her he was proud of her. Though she didn't make it to the one-on-one battles, he was proud.
Now here Yuko was, lying on her best friend as they flew through the sky, the breeze calm, and the sun setting.
"Hey Night. We haven't talked to Fatgum in a while, huh? Wonder how he's been. Don't you?" She asked, to which the dragon answered with a pur-like growl. The female laughed, as she felt herself lift up and down, from the act.
The sound of a phone going off caused her to sit up, and remove her phone from her jacket pocket.
My Favorite Hero:
Hey kiddo! Tamaki and I watched the sports festival! You did great!
Doragon:
Thanks. But I didn't make it to the one-on-one's. I wasn't that great.
My Favorite Hero:
That doesn't matter! You truly did great kid!
Doragon:
Thanks Fat! That mean a lot!
My Favorite Hero:
No problem kid. I got to go, hero duty calls. Bye!
Doragon:
Right! Bye Fat!
Yuko smiled, "hey bud! Fat and Jiki watched the sports festival! They said I did great." Yuko laughed as her best friend growled in agreement.
"Yeah..."
{·}{}{·}
"It's different when they broadcast like on TV, huh? So many people talked to me on the way here!" Mina smiled.
"Yeah, me too!"
"I had some elementary schoolers suddenly tell me 'Dont't worry about it'."
"Don't worry about it." Yuko laughed, wrapping her arm around Hanta's shoulders, which was quite difficult due to the height differences.
"Don't think about it too much, you did awesome!"
"After one day, we've suddenly been thrust into the spotlight, huh?"
"U.A really is amazing..." The door slid open, which caused everyone to quickly scramble to their seats.
"Morning." Aizawa greeted.
"Goodmorning!"
"Mr. Aizawa, your bandages are gone." Pointed out Tsu, with a 'ribbit.'
"Yeah, the old lady went a little overboard with the treatment." The hero scratched below his eye, where a small scar now was. "More importantly, we're having a special informatics class today." That put everyone on edge, tensing.
"Code name. You'll be coming up with hero names." Everyone cheered, flying out of their seats in excitement, minus a few people. But in the midst of the excitement, Aizawa activated his quirk, causing everyone to quickly take their seats.
"This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned the other day. The drafts begin in earnest in the second and third years, after students have gained experience and can become immediate assets to the pros. In other words, for them to extend offers to first years like you shows that they are interested in your future potential. These offers are often cancelled if that interest dies down."
Yuko had her head resting in her hands, as she asked, "so we'll have to prove ourselves once we get picked, huh?"
Their teacher nodded, "that's right. And here are the totals for those with offers."
Class A No. of offers
Shoto Todoroki- 4123
Katsuki Bakugo- 3556
Fumikage Tokoyami- 360
Tenya Iida- 301
Denki Kaminari- 272
Momo Yaoyorozu- 108
Eijiro Kirishima- 68
Ochako Uraraka- 20
Hanta Sero- 14
Yuko Toshiro- 7
"In other years, it's been more spread out , but all eyes were on these two this year." Aizawa gestured to the names with the most drafts on the board.
"Gah, there's such a big difference!" Groaned Denki.
"Todoroki's first, and Bakugo's second...?" Asked Kyouka, in confusion.
"It's the opposite of their placement in the sports festival." Added Eijiro.
"Some people are too scared to ask for a guy who had to be restrained on the podium." Whispered Hanta.
"What're the pros scared of?!" Yelled Katsuki. Yuko looked at the drafts, 'heroes actually picked me...?'
"Keep these results in mind, whether or not anyone asked for you, you will all be participating in internships with pros." This caused everyone to perk up.
"Internships?"
"Yeah. At USJ, you already got to experience combat with real villains, but it will still be meaningful training for you to see pros at work firsthand."
"So that explains the hero names!"
"Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!"
"Well, those hero names are still temporary, but if you're not serious about it..."
"... you'll have hell to pay later!" Finished the R18 heroine: Midnight.
"Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, and they end up becoming processional hero names."
"Midnight!" Yelled the males of the class -that being Denki and Minoru-.
"Well, that's how it is. So Midnight will be making sure your names are okay." Aizawa informed tiredly. "I can't do stuff like that."
"When you give yourself a name, you get a more concrete image of what you want to be like in the future, and you get closer to it. This is what it means when they say 'Names and nature do often agree'. Like 'All Might' for example." Yuko was given whiteboards and markers, taking one for herself, she handed them back to Katsuki.
'A hero name, huh?' Yuko stared at the board in thought.
{·}{}{·}
"Okay, let's start presenting names starting with the those that are ready." Everyone tensed at the new information.
Yuga walked up, calm and smiling. "Here I go..." He lifted his board, "Shining Hero: I can not stop twinkling! Which means, you can't stop my sparkles!" Yuko blinked, shocked especially when Midnight agreed with the name, as well as helped shorten it.
"Then I'll go next! Hero name 'Alien Queen'!" Yuko sweat dropped as Mina sulked back to her desk, after being turned down by Midnight.
"Ribbit, then may I go next?" Asked Tsu.
"Go ahead, Tsu!"
"I've had this name in mind ever since I was in elementary school." Explained Tsu, as she turned her board to face the class. "Rainy Season Hero: Froppy."
"That's so cute! It seems so friendly. I like it!" Praised Midnight, as everyone began to chant the name.
Once Tsu returned to her seat, Yuko stood, clutching her board to her chest. "May I go?"
"Of course!"
Yuko walked up, looking down at her board, "my dad came up with this..." She looked up, showing the name to her classmates.
"Dragon Rider Hero: Doragon!"
"Yes! It's friendly and fierce. Good job!" Yuko smiled a closed eyed smile.
{·}{}{·}
"Turn in your choices before the weekend. Make your decision efficiently. Dismissed."
Yuko stared at the short list of agencies in front of her. She sighed, packing her bag, making her way out of the classroom. She walked in thought, staring down at the papers in her hands. Due to not paying attention, she bumped into someone, luckily catching her balance before she fell, though the other person didn't have much luck.
"S-sorry..." A familiar timid voice caused her to look at the person she ran into.
"Jiki!" The male with pointed ears and dark hair looked up, Yuko smiled at the familiar face, Tamaki Amajiki.
A female with long blue hair, and bright eyes, stood next to a male with blonde hair, and a cartoon-like face -Yuko hadn't noticed either of the two- stood looking confused.
"Y-Yuko?!" Said female held her hand out to the male, he taking it, as she hoisted him to his feet.
"The one and only!"
"Jiki?" Asked the blonde male in confusion, Yuko finally taking notice of the two.
"Oh hello! I'm Yuko Toshiro! You guys must be Neijire Hado and Mirio Togata!" Yuko smiled, the two returning it with a nod and a smile.
"Jiki and I met at Fatgum's agency during the middle of his second year!" Yuko explained, which cleared the two's confusion.
"Hero internships..." Yuko looked at Tamaki who was staring at her papers, in her hand.
"Oh! Yeah, though I'm having a hard time choosing." Yuko scratched her cheek, annoyance flashed through her head. Night letting her know he was ready to go.
"Well I have to go. It was awesome meeting you two! Night's waiting, but Jiki we have to get together again and hangout! See ya!"
"Okay... bye..."
"Bye!" Yuko smiled at the three, before running to the exit.
