In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Mina Ashido is a vivacious hero in training. She's equally enthusiastic about her classmates' love lives.

81. Ken Ishiyama (Cementoss)

A.N. — The hardest-working UA faculty member (IMO) has his birthday today. Sure, UA has a big budget, but it's because of Cementoss that they can be so cavalier about all the cityscapes they decimate. Happy birthday, Ken Ishiyama!

81. Ken Ishiyama/Cementoss

Cementoss had the highest job security of any UA teacher. Fellow faculty members Recovery Girl and Lunch Rush had their niches, but so did he. And while Ken's instruction in Modern Literature wasn't in question, he truly earned his keep through his quirk.

UA regularly destroyed facilities through training (and mishaps), so Ken was never short of work... but he wouldn't say no to extra helpers or more breaks. Cementoss might have had the capabilities of a one-man construction crew, but even his stamina flagged in the face of the sheer volume of tasks the school tossed his way.
