The next day the school was surrounded by reporters. Katsuki and I tried to push through them but they kept sticking microphones in our faces. Finally one of them recognized Katsuki from the sludge villain.
"Excuse me, kid, are you in All Might's class? Oh hold on, aren't you that sludge villain kid?"
Katsuki stopped. "Walk away."
The reporter turned to me. "You're the cat girl that tried to save him. Are you one of All Might's students?"
"Um yeah," I shifted nervously.
"What's it like?"
"Well, it's kinda amazing. He's such a famous hero and I'm honored that he's teaching mE—!" My voice jumped as Katsuki grabbed me by my backpack and pulled me away.
"We're going to be late for class." He dragged me away.
"Oh uh okay." I tried to right myself and failed. "Um Katsuki, you can let me go now."
He tched and let me go. We walked into class and sat down. Class started a bit later since all the press slowed everyone down.
"Decent work on yesterday's combat training you guys." Aizawa started. "I saw the video feeds and went over each of your team's results. Bakugou, your talented so don't sulk like a child over your loss okay?"
"Yeah, whatever," Katsuki muttered.
I knew Katsuki was already mostly over it. After one 1/2 pint of ice cream, a face mask, and a massage, I was able to get him to rant himself to sleep. Of course, he told me to forget about it the next morning but that's just Katsuki.
"And Midoriya, I see the only way you won the match was by messing up your arm again." Aizawa sighed. "Work harder and don't give me the excuse that you don't have control over your quirk. That line's already getting old. You can't keep breaking your body while training here. But your quirk will be really useful if you can get a handle on it. So show a little urgency huh."
"Right!" Izuku grinned.
"Oh Chino, see me after class please." Aizawa looked at me.
"Yes sir," I glanced down.
"Let's get down to business. Our first test will decide your future." Aizawa said. "You all need to pick a class representative."
Everyone started shouting at once. I covered my ears at the sudden noise. I put my head on my desk. Loud noises gave me a bad headache. I looked up as the class quieted down.
Iida had his hand raised. "The class representative's duty is to lead others, that's not something just anyone can do. You must first have the trust of everyone in the classroom. Therefore the most logical way to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose our leader."
"Is this really the best idea?" Kaminari asked.
"We've only known each other for a few days. How do we know who we can trust?" Tsu pointed out.
"Besides everyone will just vote for themselves," Kirishima said.
"Most people will but that means whoever does receive multiple votes must truly be the most suitable person for the job. Its the best way, right sir?" Iida looked over at Aizawa.
"Do what you want, just decide before my naps over." Aizawa laid down.
"Thank you for your trust!" Iida called.
The votes were cast and the list was written on the board. I had two votes, I was tied with Yaoyorozu.
"How did I get three votes?" Izuku exclaimed.
"Okay, you idiots who voted for him?" Katsuki yelled
"What? Did you honestly think anyone was going to vote for you?" Sero asked.
"What did you say? Don't tell me you voted for that little turd?" Katsuki growled.
"You're just proving my point man," Sero said.
"Okay, Katsuki, let's just sit down." I touched his shoulder.
"Shut up, you don't get a say in this!" Katsuki shoved me off.
"Fine," I sat back down.
Yaoyorozu walked over. "So how do we decide who gets deputy?"
"Oh, you can have it." I shrugged. "I mean I voted for myself but I didn't think I would get another vote."
Izuku and Yaoyorozu walked up to the front of the class. Izuku was shaking from head to toe. Aizawa sat up.
"Alright the class rep is Midoriya and our deputy is Yaoyorozu."
"Really?" Izuku asked. "It's not a mistake?"
Yaoyorozu sighed. "How did this happen?"
"This might not be that bad," Tsu said.
"Yeah I could get by on Midoryia I guess." Kirishima agreed.
"Yaoyorozu was totally on top of it when it came to our training results," Kaminari spoke up.
Aizawa dismissed us and we all went to lunch. I sat at my usual table with Katsuki and Kirishima. Katsuki sat his tray down and sat next to me. Closer than normal.
"Why didn't you take the deputy spot?" Katsuki asked.
"Because I didn't really want all the responsibility and I don't think I'm that good of a leader." I shrugged.
"Come on, you're a great leader." Kirishima protested. "That's why I voted for you. And besides who can't love you? You're a cat!"
"Katsuki," I responded almost instantly.
"What?" Both boys looked over at me.
"You asked who can't love me because I'm a cat," I replied. "Katsuki. He's a dog person."
Kirishima studied Katsuki. "Yeah, I can see that."
"Huh? What exactly are you implying?" Katsuki growled.
Before Kirishima could answer a bell ran.
"Warning level 3 security breach. Please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion."
Everyone started freaking out. I looked over at Katsuki.
"What does that mean?"
"It means someone got on the school grounds." Katsuki stood up.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the exit. We soon got caught up in the crowds pushing and shoving. Katsuki pushed his way to the edge where the shoving wasn't as bad. Kids pushed passed, shoving Katsuki closer to me. I was pressed between Katsuki and the window. I looked outside, maybe I could see the villains. I gasped.
"Katsuki, it's the press. There aren't any villains." I whispered.
"Really? How did the damn press get in here?" He growled.
"I don't know."
I looked up as someone started floating above the crowd. It was Iida. He activated his quirk and spun himself towards the exit. He hit the wall.
"Listen up, everything is okay! It's just the media outside. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Everything's fine." Iida called. "We're UA students. We need to remain calm and prove that we're the best of the best."
Everyone sighed and a few people looked out the window.
"Look the police are here."
Katsuki looked down at me. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I nodded.
Katsuki straightened and everyone started to go back to their places. We walked back to the cafeteria and finished lunch.
After lunch, we decided who the other class officers would be. Izuku gave up his position to Iida. After that we finished the rest of our classes then we were dismissed. I grabbed my stuff and headed outside. I stopped at the gates, where the security gate was turned to dust. I leaned down and picked up the dust. I knew who did this. That meant he was going to make his move soon. I scattered the dust and looked up at the school. Maybe the heroes deserved a scare for once. See how they would like to lose something they cared about. I smiled and turned away. Beware, heroes, darkness is coming.
Ok, this is a super short chapter but I really liked how it ended.
