CHAPTER 13:friendly dinner,pick those hero names
"THE WINNER IS KIIIIIIRRRRBYYY STAAAAAAARRRR" present mic announced and the crowd went wild cheering him
kirby however payed no attention to the cheering and praise but instead on the burnt and hurt todoroki,approaching his friend he picked him up and started to drag him to the nurse.
"uhhhh,kir...by?why help...me,you should...be...celebrating your... victory"he asked weakly feeling the pain from the flames a second ago.
"cause that's what friends do todoroki,i don't care about winning if my friends end up so bad for wear"kirby replied winking at his friend making the taller teen smile
"let's get you to recovery girl,last time i checked those flames could burn through anything"he said as they went along
After todoroki was treated by recovery girl and kirby took a slight lecture from the old nurse,everything was A-okay,and soon was time for the medals to be given for the top finishers,as they stood on a podium made by cementoss,midnight gave a small 'hype speech',all might jumped in from the top of the stadium forcing kirby not to laugh at his visible pain from jumping from so high and after recomposing himself he gace the finalists their medals
kirby took it with a smile before biting it to see the taste.
todoroki held the medal,staring at his own reflection on the silver surface of the medal.
bakugou took it very reluctantly looking away with a very visible scowl on his face
and iida took it like only him would,by standing straight with a serious face and bowing after receiving the medal,his reflecting glasses hiding his slightly sad and ashamed expressions.
"EVERYONE PRESENT HERE TODAY,I CONGRATULATE YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT AND I WISH A SHINY FUTURE FOR YOU ALL,SO LET'S GIVE IT TO THEM, ARE YOU READY?" all might finihsed his speech with the crowd copying him
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD JOB"
'PLUS ULTRA"
the crowd stopped as everyone comically lectured him
"WHAT THE HELL ALL MIGHT,IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PLUS ULTRA"everyone shouted
"but i thought they did a good job" all might muttered
After the exhausting crash course that was the sports festival,the students were give 2 days off to recover and rest to come back in full throttle to class.
iida arrived home a little later on the start of evening due to some traffic
"mother i am home" he announced smelling some delicious food
"hello iida,dinner is almost ready"his mother said
"your later than usual"said his father
"sorry,there was some problem with a villain on the tracks so it got delayed"he said bowing slightly
"is tensei not home yet"he asked looking at his brother's empty room
"not yet,he probably is doing some extra hours,you know how he is about saving people"iida's mother said
"which is why i inspire to be as great as him"iida said determinedly
THE NEXT DAY
kirby was in his hut in the start of the forest resting peacefully thinking about a delicious piece of strawberry cake before being disrupted like many times before by a knock on the door
"huh?"he woke up with clear curiosity,he quickly stood up and changed into his usual pink hoodie and shorts
"i wonder who it is,meta just attacks me and dee just walks in"he mumbled before opening the door to see todoroki there with his usual stoic face
"good morning todoroki,surprise to see you here"kirby said yawning slightly
"hello kirby,i just wanted to congratulate you on your win yesterday and to thank you for helping me to recovery girl's office"he said
"oh that was nothing,that's what friends do they help each other"he said
todoroki went to say something but a timer in kirby's wrist went off
"would you mind taking a few steps back"kirby asked
he looked confused but did as asked,and right on cue meta knight landed where he was standing with a sword thrust to the ground
he looked up
"dodged yet again,you are getting aware kirby"he complimented and turned around
"good morning todoroki"he said walking off like nothing happened
"my father wanted to talk to you"todoroki said in a visibly forced way
"trust me,when i wish to talk i will meet him personally,i don't have a phone for a reason"he said teleporting away
"don't mind him,anyways what you wanted to say"kirby asked tilting his head
"yes,i wish to invite you to have lunch with me and my family today as a thank you"he said with some semblance of emotion
kirby smiled in response,a good time with a friend and free food,he was all in
"of course i would really like to todoroki"kirby said with a sincere smile
"im glad you accepted it,here is the adress"he said giving a card
"alright,see you there"he said waving as his friend walked off.
kirby felt his stomach grumbling
"well,time to get some breakfast"he said going deeper into the forest to talk to whispy woods failing to notice he was being watched by a figure in the distance.
kirby went through his daily routine with a smile,walking through the woods he arrived in a clearing with one single tree.
"good morning whispy woods"he greeted,the tree opened it's eyes
"oh hello kirby"it said in a deep voice
"meet my new friend,flowey"he said nodding to to the flower by his side
"that wasn't there last time"kiby said getting closer to the flower
"it bloomed two days ago,it gives me company in this forest"it spoke
"enough about me,you're here for you bi weekly supply of food right?"he asked
"yeah"he nodded
"i thought so,i separated it into that pile right there"he looked to a large pile of food a little far away.
"thanks,have a nice day"kirby waved goodbye as he placed the food on the large basket on his back and walking back to his hut
whispy yawned as he watched his friend leave,the flower by it's side grew slightly
"you'll grow to be beautiful"he said yawning some more
after kirby placed the fruits on his home and ate a few whole watermelons he grabbed a spear nearby under his bed and went to the lake near the forest
he whistled and after a few seconds a half fish half man mutant came from the lake
"hey kirby,how is your day"the fishman asked
"hey kine,would you mind grabbing some crabs and fish for me"kirby asked
"you know how i feel about hunting fish"he said
"please,i just want some crabs and starfish"kirby pleaded
"oh okay"kine said diving down,a few minutes later he arised full of sea food and tossed it into kirby's basket
"thanks kine"kirby waved goodbye
"ah i forgot to ask about gooey,next time i guess"he dived back in the water
kirby walked home and after putting the sea food on the fridge
he looked at his clock and saw it was almost lunch time
"oh,i think todoroki likes being ponctual and stuff,may just get there a bit earlier"he said to himself
TODOROKI HOUSEHOLD
shoto was reading a book on the sofa while his sister was making lunch,he looked over his reading
"hey,is father and natsuo coming for lunch today"he asked
"when does natsuo lose a meal,but i don't know about father,why you ask"fuyumi said
"i invited a friend for lunch,i hope he doesn't mind"he said
"shoto,those things should be said before hand,i don't think there is enough food for a extra person"she lectured
"oh,i thought"he said
"well,you thought wrong,i just hope i have time to do some more"she said
todoroki went outside,staring at the sand 'arena' they had for sparing before a voice came
"hey shoto,nice to see ya"said natsuo approaching
"hello,natsuo,good to see you to"he greeted,his gaze unmoving
"i saw your matches yesterday,you did great,except for the last match,i felt the heat from here"he said
"father already lectured me before,you don't need to do the same"todoroki said getting away,his brother's face turned to a scowl
"he did huh?well,honestly at least you lost now"he said
"what"shoto asked
"c'mon shoto,even if father trained you to be unbeatable,there is always someone better at something,and losing is part of getting better,if you never lose you will never learn how to win"he said
"i'll go inside"shoto entered the house
the sand in front of natsuo star to move
"that's new"said natsuo,the sand started to move more violently before a small sand vortex appeared and started to form a shape and glowing golden eyes shined
"a villain?i'll handle him"natsuo said as the figure formed and faced the opposite direction,only his back and pharaoh hat visible
"you after endeavor,so you attacked his familiy huh!"natsuo shouted creating ice in his arms and going at the figure
"huh"the figure turned to see the teen going with a icy punch
"wrong adress?"he asked before crumbling into sand
"hey,i think this is a misunderstatement,im looking for todoroki"the villain said reforming again
"and you got one right here"natsuo said trying to punch him again just for his target to crumble into sand once again and reform on the opposite side
"i don't want trouble i just want asnwers"he said trying to reason
"should have thought before coming here"natsuo said making the other sigh
"im sorry then"he said crumbling into sand once again.
but this time he didn't reform,instead the sand beneath natsuo erupted and formed a vortex of sand around him finally trapping him into a large pyramid,only his head visible on the top of the trap
"im stuck"he shouted
"if you won't calm down,i'll have to make you"the figure said winging his snake staff downwards
soon the whole pyramid started to sink on the sand with natsuo still inside
"what is going on here"shoto came to see his borhter trapped in a pyramid slowly sinking
"help shoto"natsuo pledged
"shoto?"the figure reformed
"kirby?you did this"he asked pointing at the pyramid
"you know him"natsuo asked incredulous
"classmate"he said simply
kirby looked at shoto before looking at the trapped teen
"so i did get the right adress"he said happily hugging shoto,getting him off guard
"uh,n-nice to see you to kirby"he said unsure on what to do on this situation
"can you let my brother go?"he asked
"oh yeah,sorry bout that"he apologized and the sand returned to the arena
"sorry for that,i just got freaked out by you attacking me"kirby said
"i understand,i am the one in the wrong,so peace"he asked putting his hand out
"peace"kirby shook it happily
"come in"shoto invited
"just,no sand in the house"natsuo said smiling sheepishly
kirby looked at himself
"oh right,sorry"kirby spat a small sphere of quartz
"oh,you're the one shoto thought yesterday"he recognized
"yeah,he is a tough fighter"kirby complimented getting in the house and looking around
"wow this is a big house,you must be pretty rich"kirby said in awe
"well,when you're father is the number two hero it comes with the title i guess"said shoto
"not really,i mean i don't think meta knight has a house this big"kirby said
"hey sis,the lunch ready yet"asked natsuo,fuyumi just stared at him
"well it would but shoto invited a friend without telling so i need to make more"she said,kirby heard and his face became sad
"oh,sorry about that i didn't want to be a nuisance,i just accepted shoto's invite
"no,no it's fine,maybe it teaches some things for my brother"fuyume lectured making shoto turned around
after a few more minutes the food was finally done and the family and guest ate in peace,until there was nothing left,courtesy of kirby
"this was delicious,your cooking is amazing"he complemented with a warm smile,fuyumi laughed
"it's really not that amazing,i just know some basic recipes and stuff"she smiled slightly flustered
"well,i mostly have fruits and vegetables and ocasionally sea food to eat,so any thing else is delicious to me"he said
at that fuyumi and natsuo looked at him with confused expressions
"is that all you eat is fruits and sea food"asked natsuo
"yeah,well i get sea food when my friend is feeling good enough to grab some for me,otherwise is just fruits for a few weeks"he said
"don't your parents cook?"fuyumi asked
"oh,i don't have parents,i live alone since i was like 4"he said,the todoroki siblings just looked at each other
"oh,sorry i didn't know"fuyumi said,kirby scowled at that
"is not that big of a deal,really"he said noticeably annoyed
"i mean,it just seems so lonely and horrible"natuso said
"you can't really miss what you didn't have"fuyumi said lowly
"sorry if i made you feel bad for me,but i really don't like to see people sad,so please"kirby said
"I'M HOME"endeavor announced barging through the door,looking at the table,his face became a scowl
"did you three eat that entire pot?"he said
"and why aren't you training shoto?!"he basically shouted
"because"shoto started but kirby talked
"meta knight gave us time to rest so we could recover our strengths"he said,endeavor squinted at the pink haired boy
"when shoto surpasses all might,he can rest,until then i will forge him into greatness"he said strictly
"shoto,training now!"endeavor shouted,shoto started to stand up but kirby grabbed his shoulder
"he is still recovering from monster flame,if you push him too hard you will hurt him even more"kirby said,shoto looked at him
"you speak back to me boy,do you know who i am?!"endeavor barked making his flames bigger
"you're a big meaning and a bully to your own children"kirby said,the todoroki family looked at him surprised
"think you can stand up to me boy?"endeavor said in a low tone
kirby put his hand on his pocket and pulled the orb of quartz
"if it helps my friends then yes"he said unmoving eating the orb and becoming sand kirby
kirby stared at them man,his gaze then went past the large man and in fuyumi and her worried face,he turned to look at natsuo then shoto,flashes of previous encounters appeared on his mind
"im sorry todoroki,i overstayed my welcome"he said before crumbling to sand
the half and half boy sighed before going to his room
endeavor just looked at the pile of sand before him
BACK IN UA
the second day-off wasn't eventfull,just a few minor events here and there,after a pretty normal day it was time to return to school and everyone was excited,why you ask? because
"WE ARE PICKING HERO NAMES?"the whole class shouted in amazement ,they shut up though when meta knight looked at them with his 'deathly glare'
"correct class,iida"he called but no response
"iida"
"ah"he got startled by meta knight appearing in front of him
"oh oh s-sorry meta knight sensei,this least days after the festival have been distracting"he said,visibly concerned
"it's alright iida,i see you're mind is in somewhere else"he said turning to momo
"yaororozu,distribute these white boards and markers to the class"he said,the vice class rep did as she was asked
"now i will give you a few minutes to come up with names,when i call you by seating order you will come to the front and present it to the class"he explained
the class had mixed reactions,some immediately started writing while others were in deep thought about.
a few minutes have passed and aoyama stood to the front even before meta knight asking
"be dazzled by my fantabulous name 'can't stop twinkling'"he showed with his usual dramatic flare,although meta knight shook his head
"the name matches your power but i see flaws in it,is too long and hard to say,i suggest you think a little more"he sent aoyama to his seat
"the acid hero,alien queen"mina showed
"a good name,but villainous at first thought,rather something more heroic would suit you better"meta knight said
the class continued with the students showing good names or some names with needs of adjustment,especially bakugou that didn't seem to realize the fault in his names
it went on until it was finally kirby turn,he went to the front and showed his name
"the pink puffball,kirby"
"you decided to go with you name huh?"asked meta knight
"i see the reason behind todoroki,but tell me why you chose it"meta knight mused
kirby put his hand on his chin before speaking
"well,i just like to be myself,and even after becoming a hero i will just continue being myself,so i chose my name,so everyone knows me for who i really am"he said
"very good"meta knight asnwered
after that was done he gave one last assignment
"a part of the sports festival,i think most of you are aware,is the interships that come after,and these"he said as a list of the student names with numbers beside it appeared
"are the amount of requests you received"he said
"wow the focus really is one sided huh?"said kirishima pointing the fact izuku,bakugou,shoto and kirby received the most requests
"these four held battles that will be remembered,but for the rest of you who got less,don't take it as a sign of loss but instead take it as motivation to become stronger"he said.
