Chapter 9.
Hero names and Internships.
Two days have passed since the sports festival. Izuku was in the train heading to the UA but then someone recognized him.
- "Excuse me"- Said the person drawing not only Izuku's attention but the rest of the people in the train as well. – "You are Midoriya-kun. From the hero course!"-
- "Awesome!"-
- "You were the first place!"-
- "That fight was awesome!"-
This of course made Izuku very nervous. – "Too many people..."- Luckily, the train arrived at the station.
- "S-Sorry, I have to go!"- Izuku said as he ran away from people, not because he didn't like being congratulated, but because he still wasn't used to being congratulated.
…
…
…
While on his way to the UA, he runs into Iida, who was running around in his raincoat.
- "Midoriya, good morning!"-
Once the two arrived at the UA Izuku tried to talk to Iida, he had seen the news and what happened to Ingenium. - "Iida-kun... about your brother..."-
- "oh that, don't worry I'm fine, I'm sorry for worrying you unnecessarily."- Iida replied with a smile. With that, they both entered the room.
- "The people were cheering to me in the way here!" –
- "Me too. Some people were watching me. I was nervous!"
- "Me too!"-
Everyone was talking about what happened at the festival.
A few seconds later, Aizawa arrived. - "Good morning"- Said Aizawa in his usual tired tone. – "Today we will have a special heroic class. Today you must think and choose your hero names."- Everyone got excited about this. – "This is related to those who were selected by the professionals, after the sports festival several of you received offers to do your practices with a hero. Next, I will show you the selected ones."- Said Aizawa to then present the offers.
Izuku Midoriya: 5172.
Hitoshi Shinso: 4932.
Shoto Todoroki: 4102.
Katsuki Bakugo: 3987.
Fumikage Tokoyami: 360
Tenya Iida: 301.
Denki Kaminari: 272.
Momo Yaoyorozu: 108.
Eijiro Kirishima: 68.
Tsuyu Asui: 47.
Mezo Shoji: 22.
Ochako Uraraka: 20.
Hanta Sero: 14.
Everyone was surprised by the difference.
- "Usually the offers are more even, but this year the attention was taken by these four."-
- "That's a big difference!"-
- "For those who have not received offers, do not worry, I will provide you with a list of various heroes who agreed to accept some students for their internships."- Said Aizawa. – "Although your names are provisional, think of a suitable one..."-
- "If not, you paid for it later."- Said Midnight interrupting Aizawa.
- "Right, Midnight will help you evaluate your names. I cannot do that."- Said Aizawa while remembering when he chose his hero name, to be more exact, Present Mic chose his name for him.
- "My hero name."- Thought Izuku, in that he remembered the time that with his mother they were playing heroes and he taught him the multiple names that he wanted to have, most if not all were a variant of All Might. Izuku laughed at this memory. – "I don't think I can use any of those names... I need something that identifies me with my powers. Maybe something to do with fire…."-
Fifteen minutes later.
- "OK, let's start. What already has your name, come and expose it."- Said Midnight.
- "I'll go first."- Said Aoyama while standing in front of everyone. – "I'll be, the shiny hero, I can not Stop Twinkling." – He said while everyone got sweat drops.
- "Well… If you remove the "I" and change the "Can Not" to "Can't", it would be better."- Said Midnight
- "My turn!"- Said Mina while stepping in front of everyone. – "I'll be, Alien Queen!"-
- "Are you trying to be like that acid blood thing!? I would use another name."- Said Midnight.
Mina returned to her seat with a pout.
- "Can I go next?"- Tsuyu asked. – "I already chose mine since I was in elementary school. Froppy!"-
- "It's cute! I like it!"- Midnight said.
- "I'm next"- Kirishima said. – "Red Riot!"-
- "Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack"- That was Jiro's name.
- "Tentacle Hero: Tentacole"- Shoji's name.
- "Taping Hero: Cellophane"- Sero's name.
- "Martial Arts Hero: Tailman"- Ojiro's name.
- "Sweets Hero: Sugarman"- Sato's name.
- "Pinky!"- Mina's name.
- "Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt"- Kaminari's name.
- "Everything Hero: Creati"- Momo's name.
- "Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl"- Hagakure's name.
- "Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi"- Tokoyami's name.
- "Uravity"- Uraraka's name.
- "I guess I'll go next"- Todoroki said. – "The Winter Hero: Frost"-
It was Shinso's turn to show his name. – "I'll be… The light hero: Wolf"- He said.
- "Using the look of your transformations and the type of power they use... I like it!"- Midnight said. – "We only need to check the names of Bakugo-kun, Iida-kun and Midoriya-kun"-
Iida showed his name, he chose to use his personal name "Tenya".
As Izuku thought of his name he saw his D-Scan and in that the perfect name came to mind. – "I'll go next!"- He said while standing in front of everyone. – "I'll be… The Digital Hero: Agni!"- (AN: Agni means "fire" in Sanskrit).
- "Incredible, I love it!"- Midnight said. – "When you transform something like data surrounds you and Agni means fire in Sanskrit. Very clever."-
Lastly, Bakugo's name... let's just say he needs to work on it.
- "You have until weekend to decide." – Said Aizawa ending the class.
- "This is too much."- Said Izuku while watching his list of offers.
- "I know. It will take me an eternity to decide"- Said Todoroki.
- "There are certainly plenty of offers..."- Shinso said.
- "Well, I've made up my mind!"- Uraraka said. - "I'll go with Gunhead. I have an offer from him."-
- "I thought you wanted to be a hero like Thirteen."-
- "Yes, But the fight against Bakugo opened my eyes. If I just focus on what I already know, I'll stay behind"-
- "It seems that Uararaka-san is very determined, I'm happy for her. Although I must focus on my offers."- Izuku said as he went back to check his list of offers. – "This is going to be very difficult, there are many good offers, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, Crust, Ryukyu... and the list goes on..."-
- "I got it."- Shinso said. – "I'll go with Edgeshot."-
- "Edgeshot?"-
- "Yes, I can learn several things from him... I also didn't want to continue checking, there are too many, so I opted for him."-
Hearing this, Izuku went back to his list. – "Hmm…"- He kept thinking. After several seconds he decided to apply the same strategy as Shinso. – "I'll go to... this one!"-
The day of practices.
Train station.
- "You all brought your suits, right?"- Asked Aizawa. – "Remember that for now it is forbidden to wear your suits in public. But don't lose them either. Do not misbehave either! Now go!"-
Iida was about to get on his train, but was stopped by Izuku, who was followed by the rest of their friends. – "Iida-kun… If at any time you need something, please let us know. We are friends, right?"-
Iida walked around with a smile on his face. - "Yes, I will."- After that, he turned around and got on his train.
After this, the rest left in their respective train.
…
…
…
After an hour of travel Izuku arrived at the agency of the hero he chose. Needless to say, he was nervous. He stared at the building for several seconds as he gathered the confidence to enter, when he was about to open the door, someone called his attention.
- "Hello little guy!"- The person a fair-skinned girl of average height with wide, curious eyes. Her upper eyelashes are long and thick, and her irises are a royal blue. Her hair is periwinkle, and it reaches all the way down to her knees, twisting around itself at her waist and curving inwards around her legs. She has side-swept bangs, tucked behind her ears on the right and hanging just over her eyes on the left, and two short clumps of hair on either side of her face, curved towards her face on the right and behind it, under her ear, on the left. – "Are you lost?"-
- "N-No... Ah! S-Sorry M-My name is Izuku Midoriya, I'm from UA, I came here because..."-
- "So, it's you! Ryukyu told me that a first year from UA was coming. My name is Nejire Hado, I'm also from UA, third year."- The girl introduced herself.
- "Third year... that means, she's my senior!"- At that Izuku bows. – "N-Nice to meet you Hado-senpai!"-
At that, Nejire gets excited. – "I've always wanted someone to call me that."- In that he takes Izuku by the arm and takes him inside the agency. – "Come on Kohai, I'll take you with Ryukyu. For now, tell me, what is your quirk? Why did you decide to come here? What do you hope to learn here? What do you know about Ryukyu?"- The girl began to bombard him with questions, too many even for Izuku who was redder than a tomato. – "Oh, never mind, we're here!"- Nejire said as they entered a room. Sitting at a desk was the dragoon hero, Ryukyu.
Ryukyu is a woman with chin-length blonde hair, which she wears swept back with a headband, a long fringe over the right side of her face, covering her eye. She has thin, yellow, inward-tilting eyes with slit pupils and notably sharp teeth. Her hero costume consists of a dark red, traditional qipao with a pale green scale trim around her shoulders, which seems to only be slit on the left side, with yellow claw patterns on the bottom and smaller ones around her neck. She wears knee-high boots and a strap around her exposed thigh. She wears long, almost sleeve-like white gloves that nearly reach her shoulders, with higher tabs on the outer sides, and they expose her hands from the wrist. She wears a matching green headband with four large, pale purple claws attached, covering the right side of her face, and a set of small black dragon wings protrude from the back of her head, with a number of gold spiked cartilage piercings decorating her left ear.
- "You arrived, very well."- The hero said. Realizing Izuku's state, full of nerves, the only thing she did was let out a light laugh. – "I apologize in advance for Nejire's attitude, she can be somewhat hyperactive, too much I would say."-
- "Hey! I'm just showing the agency to my little Kohai."-
- "Don't worry, I was just taken by surprise, that's all."- Izuku said.
- "If you say so... moving on to more important things, Izuku Midoriya, tell me about yourself."-
- "Y-Yes. My name is Izuku Midoriya, my hero name is The Digital Hero, Agni."-
- "Digital, huh? Interesting. What is your quirk?"-
- "My quirk is called Digital Transformation. My body has data inside of it, with a support device I can grab that data and change my appearance."-
- "Wow, and how many things can you transform into?"- Nejire asked.
- "At the moment I can only transform into two different forms, although I suspect there may be more."-
- "Interesting, very good. Welcome to my agency, Agni."- Ryukyu said.
- "T-Thank you, I'll be under your care."-
- "I saw you at the sports festival, you have a very interesting power, but I would like to see it in first person, you will face Nejire in a practice match. Nejire go change."- After saying this, Nejire leaves the place.
- "Are you sure about this?"-
- "Don't worry, I just want to see what you're capable of, I'll stop the fight when it's enough. Now take your costume and go change, on that side is the changing room."-
…

…
Villains' hideout.
"I see… So, it was you who attacked the UA."- Said a man to Shigaraki. It was Stain, The Hero Killer. – "And you want me to join your group."-
Stain is an intimidating, muscular man who walks with a distinct hunch, and has a flat, somewhat-triangular face without a nose, which he removed it himself, and an extraordinarily long tongue, tainted with numerous small papillae. He has rather long, black hair, which he wears in a messy fashion; it would drape over his face if not for his headband and mask, and small white eyes with tiny irises.
He sports a dark combat suit, plated with metal armor across his body to holster his weapons. The torso is sleeveless, so he instead wraps his arms in yellow bandages, all the way from just below his shoulders to his wrists. He also wears long black wristbands and a watch on his left arm, and his knees are protected with metal pads, the costume completed by black boots with steel armor. He always dons his signature blood-red scarf and matching headband, as well as the tattered cloth he wears around his face as a mask.
- "Correct. With you on our side everyone will start to take us more seriously."- Said Shigaraki.
- "What is your goal?"- Asked Stain.
- "We want to destroy everything."- Shigaraki.
- "Hmm. Pathetic, what a waste of time to come here."- Stain said.
- "Excuse me, I did not explain myself well, we want to destroy everything that people believe in, in this way we will demonstrate the garbage that society really is. When society is at its lowest, we will take control and shape it to our liking."-
Stain was silent for a few seconds, after which a sadistic smile appeared on his face. - "Why didn't you say it before? I like that goal, at least the first half, showing society what trash it really is, I don't like the taking over part, but at least the first part of your plan isn't contradictory to my ideals."- Stain walks over to Shigaraki and holds out his arm. – "Very well, I will join you, at least until the first part of your plan is finished, from which point we will part ways."-
Shigaraki smiles and returns Stain's handshake, only with four fingers instead of five. – "I am glad that we were able to reach an agreement, I accept your conditions. Welcome to the Villain League, Hero Killer."-
- "Thank you, now I would like to check this place, I want to familiarize myself with the facilities."-
- "Of course, after that ask Kurogiri to help you bring your stuff, I guess you'll want to go back to Hosu afterwards."-
- "Right, it will be my last day at Hosu, that will be my last job before I start working with you."-
- "Sounds good to me, if you need help don't hesitate to tell us."- After these words, Stain begins to review the place, followed by Kurogiri, once they leave the room "Sensei" begins to speak.
- "You handled the situation very well."-
- "Thanks, it was not difficult at all, it was only necessary to tell that fool what he wanted to hear. His ideals are pathetic, but his influence is very great, if people find out that he is part of our group, more people will start joining."-
- "You manipulated him into thinking we're on his side and that we want something similar to what he wants, you'd better do THAT before he finds out the truth."-
- "Don't worry, once my plan starts, he won't be able to resist following my orders. He's just another pawn in our plan."-
…
…
…
Ryukyu agency.
Izuku arrived at the training place, already with his costume on. Ryukyu stares at him.
- "Something simple, but I guess it's because your transformations have their own costumes included."-
- "Y-Yeah, that's correct."-
- "Okay! I'm ready!"- Nejire arrived with her hero costume on. Her hero costume consists of a royal blue skin-tight bodysuit with a high black collar, pale mint green markings covering her torso from over her shoulders to between her legs, framed with turquoise, a matching stripe of the same two colors around both of her upper arms. On her feet, she wears a pair of knee-high boots, a thinning flap buttoned on each thigh, with turquoise spirals around her ankles, matching the thicker ones above her yellow gauntlets and wrist-guards. She has a black strap around the top of each thigh, two small satchels attached, and two spiraling horns of hair protruding from behind her ears that are shaped as a reference to her Quirk.
- "Alright, Midoriya, are you ready?"-
- "Y-Yes!"- Izuku said as he prepared to fight.
- "All right, you can begin."-
After these words Izuku charges against Nejire, who was only standing watching him. – "Evolution!"- Izuku quickly transforms into Flamemon. – "Flame Tail!"- Izuku tried to attack Nejire with his tail, however the girl jumped and dodged his attack. Izuku tries to find where Nejire landed, however he can't find her. Out of nowhere he receives an attack on his back, Nejire attacks him with what appear to be shockwaves. Turning to look in the direction of the attack, Izuku is surprised to see Nejire in the air.
Nejire Hado.
Quirk: Wave Motion.
Nejire's Quirk grants her the ability to convert her own vitality into energy and release it in the form of exceptionally powerful spiral shockwaves. Since the energy travels in a spiral, it's not very fast.
- "Her quirk appears to be a type of shock wave; however, it allows her to move in the air... impressive."- Izuku analyzed Nejire's quirk as he dodged another attack. – "As long as she stays in the air, I won't be able to attack her very well. I have to force her down."- Izuku quickly surrounds himself with fire. – "Noble Heart!"- He shouted and then charged against Nejire, jumping to reach her, Nejire managed to dodge the attack without difficulty, however this was part of Izuku's plan, as soon as Nejire dodged the attack he counterattacked with another attack. – "Baby Salamander!"-
Quickly releasing an aura of fire that hits Nejire and makes her fall to the ground. However, the girl does not seem to be affected by the attack, it was rather the surprise of the attack that made her fall.
- "Flame Toss!"- Izuku, still in the air, fires three fireballs at Nejire, however the girl dodges the fireballs quite easily. Taking flight again, the girl approaches Izuku and attacks him with a close wave.
This causes Izuku to fall to the ground. – "Damn it, looks like I have to level up."-
- "He doesn't do anything bad; he knows how to act quickly and think of plans on the fly."- Those were Ryukyu's thoughts as she watched the fight.
Taking advantage of Izuku standing still, Nejire charged at him with a shockwave ready. However, once she was close... – "Flamemon digivolve to… Agunimon!"- Izuku changes form into Agunimon, allowing him to dodge Nejire's attack and counterattack, - "Crimson Knuckle" - with a punch to the girl's stomach. This caught Nejire by surprise.
- "Interesting, he can switch between forms."- Ryukyu thought.
Nejire recovers from the attack, this time it did affect her. – "Amazing!"- She said. Boosting again with her Quirk, Nejire prepares to attack again. Izuku also charges at her. Once close Nejire attacks with another shockwave, while Izuku attacks with his own attack. – "Pyro Punch"- both attacks collide and create a large blast of air, a few seconds later the smoke disappears.
- "Okay, that's enough!"- Ryukyu said. – "You guys did a good job."- Izuku returned to his human form while Nejire deactivated her quirk. – "I'm impressed, you managed to give Nejire a good fight, it's not something anyone can do."-
- "One of these days you should face Togata!"- Nejire said.
- "Togata?"-
- "He is a friend of mine, together, he, I and another friend are known as the big three of the UA."-
- "Big three…"-
- "That's right, Togata Mirio, Tamaki Amajiki and I are considered the three strongest students in the entire UA. In case you're wondering, Togata is the strongest of the three of us."-
- "Are you saying that I managed to face one of the three strongest students in the UA?!"-
- "Well... I wasn't using my full power, but yes. That's why I say you should face Togata, when you finish your internship find me at the UA and I'll introduce you to Togata and Amajiki."-
- "O-Okay…"-
- "Sorry to interrupt, but we need to get on with Midoriya's internship."- Ryukyu interrupted.
- "R-Right, sorry I got carried away."- Nejire apologized.
- "Very well, Nejire you can take a break, Midoriya you follow me, and I will show you the facilities, tomorrow we will start with your training."-
- "Yes!"- Izuku said as he followed Ryukyu. – "My first day and I already faced one of the three strongest students... and I was able to keep up with her! She wasn't using her full power though but to be honest I wasn't either… I still have things to discover the D-Scan and my digievolutions… I wonder what kind of people the other two are, especially that Togata guy..."-
…
…
…
To be continued.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
Izuku chooses Ryukyu for his internship. Ryukyu's reason for choosing Izuku is because she also has a quirk that makes her transform, although the Izuku thing is not a quirk, but only five people know that, so I thought she may have been interested in Izuku.
Speaking of people who know about D-Scans and Digimon, so you don't get confused, these are the people who know about it and how they know about it.
Izuku, because he is the chosen one of AncientGreymon.
Shinso, because he is the chosen one of AncientGarurumon.
Nezu, because he is a Digimon in disguise.
Aizawa, because he became suspicious, and they had to tell him the truth.
Shigaraki, because he has a D-Scan, but it is not known why.
Kurogiri, because he is Shigaraki's second in charge.
All For One, it is not known how he knows about all this, even our protagonists are unaware that he knows about this.
PD: Obviously I know why he knows, but I write it this way to add suspense to the matter.
More things, Nejire makes her debut and the big three are mentioned.
By the way, Izuku's talk with Bakugo is pending, you know the one Izuku promised Bakugo after the sports festival, technically it already happened, only I haven't shown it yet.
More things, Izuku and Shinso's hero names, what do you think? The truth is that it cost me a lot to find good names for them, this was the best thing I could think of. Many things I already had planned from the beginning, even before I started writing, the hero names were not any of those things.
What are the things I already have planned that are just waiting to be revealed?
Well... some of them are, all the chosen ones, the end of the story is already planned, the background of Shigaraki and All for One, among other things.
So yes, we can say that I am not writing the story at the same time that I am developing it, I already have everything planned, or at least ninety percent planned, only small details and things that come out as I write the story would be missing, that's why I can confirm one hundred percent that I will finish this story, and it's another reason why it doesn't take me long to get chapters out.
Finally, remember that I am saving the questions that you want to ask me, whether they are from the story, future projects or even from myself.
I'll be saving them and will answer them all in a future chapter.
Nothing more to say I hope you like it.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
