Sorry for the delay, I was working on some other stories, but I figured I should try to update this one. This will basically be the first half of episode 9, so nothing big yet. Sorry if this chapter seems shorter than usual.
After the insanity that occurred, it felt nice for Izuku that it was finally over. He walked through the door actually unscathed for once since he started at U.A. Inko of course heard the door open.
"Mom, I'm not late, am I?" Izuku walked in.
"Izuku, you didn't get hurt today. No, come in." Inko seemed relieved.
"Today was just hectic instead of painful, that's all."
"I heard a few news stories about what happened today. It seemed like a swarm of reporters from different networks tried to interview All Might, but couldn't even get into the school."
"Oh, you heard about that... That's one of the reasons All Might came back; to be a teacher which is something completely new for him." (The other reason was to train his successor, but I can't tell Mom that.)
"Anything good happen at least?"
"Well, after Mr. Aizawa singled out me and Kacchan for the stunts we pulled yesterday, he told all of us to choose a class rep."
"That sounds like a good thing."
"At first, it was put to a vote, and I got the most votes, but I didn't feel like I was the best man for it. The second highest votes went to one of the two in our class who were accepted through recommendation, Momo Yaoyorozu who's secondary rep."
"Who did you feel would be the best choice for class rep?" his mom asked.
His trademark grin showed. "Iida, of course. It was during the insanity that happened at lunch. The breach in the U.A. barrier caused a lot of the students to freak out as the reporters tried to track down All Might. With some encouragement from me and Uraraka, Iida was able to calm the situation."
"Seems you're on your way as well, dear. A voice like yours can bring out the best in anyone. I'm sure you gave him the courage to assume the role on your behalf."
"That's why after class let out for the day, Iida, Uraraka and I decided to talk some more since we were caught up in all that chaos earlier. That's what took so long."
Inko was rather happy for him. "Well, I'm just glad no one got hurt, and you're getting to know some of your classmates so easily."
"Yeah, at first Iida came off as intimidating when I first met him, and I'm still kind of a nervous wreck around Uraraka, but hopefully it'll be different. I want her to see more of the cool hero side of me and not just the guy who can barely keep it together." Izuku seemed rather unsure.
"I'm sure that's the side she looks forward to seeing. And even soon enough, your class will be able to that side." All she wanted was for him to be more positive.
"Hopefully that'll be the case." And it worked.
I feel like that shouldn't have taken this long to do. The next chapter will be a recap starting with the second half of episode 9 til the end of the season. Afterwards, please tell me if you want bonus chapters where Izuku does vid chat or facetime with any classmates, preferably Ochako and Tenya. If the readers ask for other classmates, I'll definitely consider. 'Til next time, check out my other stories.
