Modeling Mayhem

Hello, and welcome to a new experimental Boku no Hero Academia fic, and here I will be doing another experiment to see if this would attract readers as this fic will incorporate a mixture of action and suspense themes as well as adding elements of some comedy, as this fic is inspired from TV reality shows involving fashion modeling such as Next Top Model, Project Runaway, Project Catwalk, and the 2000 film, Miss Congeniality (starring Sandra Bullock).
Another inspiration is from the season 2 episode of Hero Academia where Momo Yaoyorozu and Itsuka Kendo underwent internship with pro hero Uwabami, who is also a model, and she had the two teen girls do most of the time acting as entourage and doing photoshoot and commercials, which gave me some ideas, such as adding some detective-like themes and the sort.
Once again the pairing here will be Kendo, and her partner would be Izuku Midoriya, as I got a JUICY idea on how to use the two teens.
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Seisa-chū no moderupurohīrō
The scene shifts at an agency office, where pro hero Uwabami is checking her list of schedules for her upcoming photo shoots for a commercial, which would no doubt double her exposure on TV, and she is pleased that she can earn more money that way in addition to being a pro hero, and she soon learned that Hero Work Studies is approaching soon, and she wondered which school would approach her for internship, and wondered if the two UA students who interned under her, Momo Yaoyorozu and Itsuka Kendo, would choose her again.
She smirked as she is sure that those two teen girls from UA Academy would make it big as both pro heroes and models, and she is considering inviting other hero schools to have its students undergo internship under her.
By then, one of her assistants came and is shown to be worried, and as Uwabami asked what is wrong, the assistant told her that some of the hero school students who underwent internship under her have been gone missing for months, and the parents suspected that Uwabami has a hand in the female students' disappearances.
"What?"
"You heard me, Uwabami-sama!"
"The girls I interned went missing, you say?"
"Yes…they haven't been heard of since their internship under you ended…"
"This is…"
"And the parents believed that you might be involved in the girls' disappearances!"
"Hmm…"
"What should we do…?"
Uwabami stared in surprise as this is the first time that she encountered something like this, and what's more, she is being blamed for the female students' disappearances, and she asked the assistant if he has the names of the students who disappeared, which the assistant said he has, and showed it to her, and the pro hero looked at the lists, and is quite surprised that about eight female high school students who underwent internship under her went missing for several weeks, and this made her baffled.
The female high school girls were trained heroes, so how is it possible for them to go missing given their Quirks and combat capabilities, unless the kidnappers have stronger Quirks and are well-organized, so she told her assistants to look after the agency office as she will go to the police to check things out, which the assistant nodded.
"Very well."
"Uwabami-sama?"
"Look after the office."
"Where are you going?"
"To the police station. I'll be doing some investigation and I might pick up some clues."
"I see."
"I leave things to you."
"Be careful."
Several minutes later Uwabami arrived at the police station where she is informed about the disappearances of several female high school students who underwent internship at her agency, and as the police chief is explaining to her about the case, several parents came and complained about their missing daughters, and unjustly blamed Uwabami for this, saying that she probably sold the girls to a white slavery ring, which the police chief said there is no proof that Uwabami is involved.
But the distraught parents reiterated that their daughters were last seen attending Uwabami's agency office and has not retuned ever since.
"She's the culprit!"
"We're sure of it!"
"Give me back my daughter!"
"I want her back!"
"You bitch!"
"You ought to be stripped of your hero license!"
"I want you to arrest her!"
"Do something!"
As the police chief tries to calm the grieving parents down, Uwabami feels that some evil force is at work, and decided to do some investigating and tells the police chief about her plans, and he nodded, saying that she needs to find evidence on who is behind the disappearances so that her name would be cleared and for the kidnappers to be exposed and arrested.
He advised her to make her move so as to fan out the hate comments from disgruntled parents.
"You need to make your move, Uwabami."
"Yeah."
"The parents are getting restless, and they are deadest in pinning you as responsible."
"I know. I'm going to make my move."
"And in case you find a lead, get some evidence so that we can have a case against the culprits."
"Right."
"Let me know if you need help."
"I will."
Uwabami then leaves the police station, yet the grieving parents shouted at Uwabami to do something and bring their daughters back, threatening to file charges against her yet Uwabami ignored them as she heads back to her agency office.
"You're the culprit!"
"We're sure of it! You took our daughters and send them away from us!"
"Give me back my daughter!"
"I want her back!"
"You bitch!"
"You ought to be stripped of your hero license!"
"I'll kill you!"
"Do something, officer! Arrest her!"
-x-
A few days later, the scene shifts at the cafeteria of UA Academy, where it shows that Izuku Midoriya is reading the newspaper about the disappearances of the female high school students, and Yaoyorozu peered, where she is quite surprised that Uwabami is being implicated in that case, and could not believe that Uwabami is involved, even though there is no proof that would pin the pro hero to the charges.
Midoriya asked what is Uwabami to Yaoyorozu, and she revealed that she and Kendo underwent internship under Uwabami, and said that she and Kendo mostly spend time doing photo shoot and recording a commercial, though there is some crime-fighting involved.
Kendo passed by and overheard the conversation and asked if this is true, which Yaoyorozu confirmed, surprising the class rep of Class 1-B, as she could not believe that the students who interned under Uwabami would be kidnapped so easily given their Quirks and combat abilities.
"Seriously?"
"Yes, Kendo-san."
"How can that be? Those girls have Quirks and they can't be kidnapped that easily…"
"Perhaps the kidnappers have stronger Quirks…"
"What's Uwabami doing then?"
"We haven't heard any news from her."
"I see. This is serious."
"Indeed."
Midoriya was quite concerned about this as he read the newspapers that the abducted teen girls who interned under Uwabami have been missing for close to a month, and he asked Yaoyorozu and Kendo if they encountered anything strange during their internship, which the two girls said that other than doing mostly photoshoot, acting as entourage and recording for commercials, everything seemed okay.
The two girls noted that Uwabami is decent and that she is a pro hero after all.
"And that's what we've been doing since then…"
"Uwabami is a good person and a pro hero."
"There are no indications that she has any bad habits of sorts."
"And so far she is being adored by fans everywhere, so it's unlikely that she would be involved in the abductions."
"I'm sure that Uwabami is taking steps to clear her name…"
"Yeah, I hope everything would be cleared up."
"I hope so."
"…"
Midoriya nodded after listening to the two girls, and there Kendo glanced at Midoriya, which he blinked his eyes in bafflement until she commented that he might catch Uwabami's eye and if interested she might choose Midoriya to become a modeling protégé even though she prefers female models as that was mostly her area of expertise.
Midoriya blushed at hearing this while Yaoyorozu jested that it is unlikely that Uwabami would recruit someone like Midoriya given her preference on someone she deem cute, which Kendo readily agreed as the two girls began to giggle, prompting an annoyed Midoriya to sarcastically apologizing if they didn't find him cute for their tastes.
Kendo smiled and apologized, saying that she do find him cute, causing Midoriya to blush while Yaoyorozu stared in surprise and asked if she developed an interest in the boy, which Kendo quickly said it was just a compliment.
"Kendo…"
"Huh?"
"Are you…becoming interested in Midoriya…?"
"Eh…?"
"You…have a crush on him…?"
"Ah! I was only complimenting him!"
"Really?"
"Yes…"
By then Neito Monoma shows up and said he has a clue on who is behind the abduction of the girls which implicated Uwabami, and as the two girls and Midoriya looks on, Monona sarcastically said that the culprit is none other than Minoru Mineta.
Midoriya stood up and asked what made him said that, and Monoma said that Mineta has a very perverted mind and it is obvious that he intend to make a collection of harem and that Mineta is sure to collect all the girls and make them his LOVE SLAVES and he won't be surprised if Money's gets them pregnant.
Midoriya and Yaoyorozu did not like what Monoma said and told him not to make baseless accusations, but Monona said that Mineta is already guilty and said that alone warrants that Class 1-A is a section of scums, but Kendo knocks him down and told him to knock it off, surprising Monoma and asked why is she siding with Class 1-A.
There he suspects that Kendo is having a crush on Midoriya and told her to stay away from him saying that he might use means to take her to bed, causing Kendo to blush and uses her Quirk to DISCIPLINE Monoma, and he shrieks out in pain.
"WHAT WAS THAT?! TAKE THIS!"
"AAAIIIEEE!"
"STOP SPOUTING NONSENSE!"
"AAAIIIEEE!"
"MIDORIYA IS JUST A FRIEND!"
"AAAIIIEEE!"
"MAKE ANOTHER COMMENT LIKE THAT AND YOU'LL GET SOMETHING WORST!"
"AAAIIIEEE!"
Midoriya and Yaoyorozu sweat-dropped at the scene as they wondered what state of mental health is Monoma in, as they watched the two Class 1-B members leave the cafeteria, and the two Classmates 1-A students sighed as they finished their lunch before heading back to their classroom.
There Midoriya asked her if she has found a hero agency that would take her in for internship, which she said she is considering some, then she asked if he has found one, and he said he is currently in limbo, explaining that Nighteye's agency is swamped with paperwork which Centipeder said that their lack of staff members prevented him from hiring Midoriya.
Midoroiya also said that Gran Torino is currently helping with the police and thus he couldn't have the time to mentor him.
"I see…"
"Yeah."
"That must be tough, Midoriya."
"It's fine. I'll pull through."
"I know."
"Thanks."
"Sure."
"…"
As they passed by the teachers' lounge Midoriya tells Yaoyorozu to go ahead, which she nodded and asked she went ahead, he decided to talk to All Might if he has any recommendations, and upon entering he saw Kendo there and the two schoolmates greeted each other.
There Uwabami came and she greeted Kendo, and as the two females are chatting she noticed Midoriya as he is mumbling and muttering, hearing him commenting about Uwabami, her Quirk, her reputation as a pro hero and a model, and there Uwabami finds him…cute.
There she asked Kendo about Midoriya, and after hearing it, the model-pro hero slowly took an interest in him and an idea formed in her head, and there she came up with something that would help in solving the case she is investigating.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is not much action showed here, the comedy part makes up for it as Monoma suffered kendo's wrath…
The setting of this fic takes place in the current chapters of the manga, right before the Endeavor Agency arc, but I sort of deviated it as Midoriya would get to intern under someone else.
Preview:
Uwabami offered Midoriya to undergo internship under her, and offered the same offer to Kendo, where the two teens would get to work together…
See you in December…
Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
