Third Person POV
Another day of UA as the twins were walking to UA together. While they were walking, Kari looked a bit uneased about something
"Something wrong?" Ryoichi asked her.
"Mmm… It's your ponytail. Are you sure you're not getting too attached to it?"
"Nah, not really. I just kinda like it." Ryoichi answered her. "Also, it's kinda for–"
Before he could answer, a reporter suddenly got in our face and asked us questions about All Might. "You two! You're one of All Might's students right? Tell us, what is he like as a teacher?"
"Uhh... I guess like the other teachers at UA I guess?" Kari answered them.
"Yeah, that's what he kinda is really. Now if you excuse us, we have to get to class." Ryoichi said as he and Kari pushed their way through the crowd of reporters.
As they made it through them, they were about to head in before Ryoichi picked up something. He heard a familiar voice behind him and looked back at the crowd of reporters. He couldn't exactly see who was in there, but he could see a familiar purple hair in there.
"Hey, Kari, wait for me for a second will you?" Ryoichi asked her as he went back.
"Ryoichi?"
Ryoichi made his way through the crowd of reporters as he reached out for the person that was stuck in the crowd. He soon grabbed onto them and managed to pull himself and that person out.
"Are you okay… Jiro?" Ryoichi said in a slightly surprised tone.
"Yeah, thanks by the way, Akatani." Jiro said.
"Oh, don't mention it." Ryoichi said with a small smile.
"Wait, hold on, did that girl just say Akatani?" A news reporter asked.
The two froze up when they heard his last name.
"...I'm guessing your ponytail was supposed to hide yourself…"
"Yeah… it was… Run!" Ryoichi shouted as he ran into the school with Jiro and Kari, before the reporters could get them.
They managed to get inside and continued their walk to class.
"Man, that was close. I was not about to deal with the media today."
"You said it." Kari said in agreement.
"Sorry about that…" Jiro apologized to them.
"It's fine. They'll probably forget about it sooner or later, since they're here for All Might."
"Heh, bet that one lady really wanted to see him." Kari said jokingly.
Jiro covered her mouth to hold back her laugh while Ryoichi just looked at his sister with slight disgust.
"That's gross, Kari."
"Oh, like you haven't had the same thing."
Jiro bursted out laughing as she held her stomach and Ryoichi was blushing slightly.
"Well, am I wrong?" Kari asked him while teasing him.
"And I'll see you sometime later today too, sis." Ryoichi said as he grabbed Jiro's hand as they sprinted to their class.
The two made it to their homeroom in time as they went to their seats. As they waited for class to start, Ryoichi noticed Jiro looked a bit odd and wondered if she was okay.
"Everything okay, Ryoichi?" Momo asked him as she was sitting next to her.
"Hm? Oh, I'm fine. Just thinking about something." He told her. "And I take it that you managed to easily get past the media?"
Momo giggled a little. "I suppose you can say that. I saw you were having a hard time early when you got here."
Ryoichi's cheeks became pink as he felt a bit embarrassed. "You saw me from the window…"
"Mhm, and that was kind of you for getting Jiro out there."
"Well… I wasn't going to ignore so I had to save her and… yeah." Ryoichi said as he looked away while Momo giggled at his demeanor and claimed it cute.
Class soon started and Aizawa went over yesterday's training.
"Decent work on yesterday's combat training, you guys. I saw the video feeds and went over each of your team's results. Bakugo." Aizawa called him. "You're talented. So don't sulk like a child about your loss, okay?"
"Yeah, Whatever." Bakugo said.
"And, Midoriya." Aizawa called Izuku as he got tense and nervous when his name was called. "I see the only way you won the match was by messing up your arm again. Work harder. And don't give me that excuse that you don't have control over your quirk. That line's already getting old. You can't keep breaking your body while you're training here. But your Quirk will be really useful when you can get a little handle on it. So show a little urgency huh?"
Izuku looked up, relieved and now determined. "Right."
"Let's get down to business. Our first task will decide your future." Aizawa told the class.
"Is it another quirk test?" The class thought in fear
"You need to choose a class rep."
"Oh good, just normal school stuff!" The class was relieved to hear that.
"Pick me guys! I wanna be class rep!"
"I'll take it!"
"Yeah, you're gonna need me."
"Someone with style would be the best."
"I'm, like, totally the right pick!"
Everyone just went into a frenzy about who to pick for class representative while Ryoichi just ignored them until Momo tapped him.
"Why aren't you suggesting yourself? You'd be a great class representative." Momo suggested.
"I am flattered to hear that, but let's be honest, I'm not the class representative type."
"Are you doubting yourself again?" Momo said with a small pout.
"Oh, he's not, he's speaking the truth." Said Josuke as he leaned back on his chair and faced the two. "I can understand why being class representative is not in his lane, despite that brain of his."
Momo was confused by this and wondered why Ryoichi didn't want the spot. She was about to ask why before Iida spoke up. "Silence, everyone! Please!"
The class turned their attention to him. "The class representative's duty is to lead others. That's not something just anyone can do. You must first have the trust of every student in the classroom. Therefore, the most logical way to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose our leader!"
"It's pretty obvious you want us to vote for you..."
"Is this really the best idea?" Asked Kaminari.
"We've known each other for a few days, how do we know who to trust?" Said Tsuyu.
"Besides, everyone'll just vote for themselves." Kirishima piped in.
"Yeah, and there's also the fact that some of us actually know each other longer." Said Akio.
"And who exactly we should trust." Josuke agreed with him.
"Exactly. But that means whoever does receive the multiple votes must truly be the most suitable person for the job. It's the best way right sir?" Iida asked Aizawa.
"Do what you want, just decide before my nap's over." Aizawa said before getting in his sleeping bag.
And so, everyone was given a small piece of paper to vote for the class representative. When everyone turned in their votes, the results showed that Izuku got 4 votes, Momo got 2 votes and Ryoichi got 2.
"How did I get four votes?!" Asked Izuku in shock.
"Okay, you idiots! Who voted for him?!" Bakugo shouted.
"What, did you honestly think anyone was gonna vote for you?" Sero mocked him.
"What did you say?!" Bakugo barked.
Momo sighed a bit and spoke to Ryoichi. "So, it seems we both got two votes."
"Yeah and we both voted for each other. Wonder who the second person was?" Ryoichi wondered.
"It's probably Mineta…"Momo said with some disgust, but then realized what Ryoichi said. "Wait how did you–"
"Momo, we've been friends since we were kids. So… it was kinda obvious, not that it's a bad thing, but you know."
"Yeah... friends…" Momo said in a slightly sad tone.
Ryoichi looked concerned for her, like he said something to make her sad. "Is everything alright? Was it something I said?"
"N–no, it's nothing. Just that I thought I was going to be class rep instead of Midoriya."
"Hey, hey, don't be like that. To make you feel better, how about you take the spot to be vice president?" Ryoichi suggested for her.
Momo looked a bit unpleasant with his idea. "Are you sure?"
"Positive."
Izuku and Momo, still looking sad, went up to the front of the class while Izuku was sweating from being chosen as class rep.
"All right, our class rep is Midoriya, and our deputy is Yaoyorozu."
"Really? It's this not a mistake?
"How'd this happen?" Momo sighed. "It should be me and Ryoichi up here, but I'll have to deal with it."
"This might not be so bad." Said Tsuyu.
"Yeah I can get behind Midoriya I guess."
"Yaoyorozu was on top of it when it came to our training results!"
Some of them were okay with it. The bell rang and it was lunch time. As always, the lunch room was crowded like it was a concert or something, and Ryoichi was sitting with his group of friends, along with his sister.
"Midoriya and Yaoyorozu being the class representatives. That's a surprise there." Said Selvaria.
"I know. I'm surprised Akatani didn't take it." Alicia wondered why.
"Well I–" Ryoichi was saying before he noticed Kari was talking as well. "Oh, sorry did you mean..?" Now the twins were talking at the same time.
"I know you guys are twins, but this is really freaky." Said Jiro.
"Yeah, it's already making my brain hurt on who to talk to." Josuke said with an uneasy look on his face.
"Clearly the one in our class is who she was talking about. It's not that hard to understand." Akio told him.
"Hey, they're twins so…" Josuke only stuck his tongue out at Akio for his counter argument.
"Right… anyways, being class rep isn't exactly my thing because well… leading is not in my lane."
The group looked confused at him.
"What do you mean it's not in your lane? You're practically leader material." Said Selvaria.
"I mean, sure, I am willing to help anybody in need, but it's better if someone with actual more leadership experience should take it."
"But, you were actually killing it with training yesterday!" Said Josuke. "You're whole strategy with trying to take Yaoyorozu and Mineta by surprise, and almost won us the game, no offense." Josuke said to Momo.
"H–huh?" Momo was brought out of her thoughts and into the conversation. "U–um, yeah. His strategy was good."
They looked at Momo with suspicion while Ryoichi had a worried look.
"Are you still mad about the picking for class rep?" Ryoichi asked Momo.
"What? No, of course not!" Momo tried to brush it off. "I'm okay with my role, but… don't you at least think you should earn that spot?"
Ryoichi only let out a small chuckle. "Not really. Besides, that spot is more for someone like you."
"M–me?" Momo asked with a small blush.
"Of course you! You've always wanted to be like a leader ever since we were kids, so this is the perfect time for you to–"
Suddenly the alarm rang and there was an announcement of a Level 3 breach.
"Level 3 security breach?"
"It means someone managed to get past the school's barriers! This hasn't happened before, we need to go!"
Everyone ran to escape but it crowded quickly as everyone was pushing and shoving each other. The group tried to stay together, but they were separated quickly from the sea of students.
"Hey, take it easy!" Josuke tried to make his way through the crowd, but was pushed around.
"Please, remain calm–!" Selvaria was trying to say before getting shoved away.
"Selvaria!" Akio shouted as he tried to grab her, but he was getting pushed away from her.
With Ryoichi, he tried to get through the crowd of students, while Momo was holding his hand tightly, so she wouldn't get loose from him.
"Jeez! Where are the teachers when you need them?!" Kari complained.
"Maybe they're trying to solve this out– Ow!" Momo was then shoved and nearly lost her grip.
"Just hold on tight, Momo!" Ryoichi told her. He tried to look over the crowd to see what they could do, and noticed Iida was not too far ahead of him. An idea then popped into his head and he tried to reach out for Iida. "Hey, Iida!" Ryoichi called to him.
Iida heard Ryoichi and noticed him. "Akatani! I need your assistance with getting everyone's attention!"
"I'm way ahead of you!"
Ryoichi then grabbed onto Iida's arm as he slapped something onto his wrist. Iida looked at it to be one of Ryoichi's web shooters.
"You might wanna use that– Woah!" Ryoichi told Iida before he was dragged away.
"I have to get everyone's attention!" Iida thought and then saw Uraraka. "Uraraka, make me float!"
Uraraka was a bit confused, but she did what Iida said and made him float. Iida jumped over the crowd as he moved his pants legs up for his engine tanks and aimed his arm out. "Akatani did something with these, some type of hand gesture. How do I–?" Iida was thinking before he pressed the button that sent a thread of web out onto the wall ahead of them. He knew what to do and pulled himself while using his engines to get in front.
Iida then slammed against the wall and shouted to get everyone's attention. "Listen up, everything is okay! It's just the media outside. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Everything's fine! We're UA students. We need to remain calm and prove that we're the best of the best!"
The students became calm after hearing the situation and continued with lunch. Class started
"It's time class rep, let's begin." Said Momo.
"Um, okay, so we need to figure out who the other class officers will be. But first, there's something that I wanna say." Izuku said to get everyone's attention. "I've thought a lot about this. And I think that Tenya Iida should be our class rep! He was able to capture everyone's attention and get us in line. So I believe that he should be the one leading our class for now on."
Iida looked shocked at his statement.
"Yeah you know what? If Midoriya vouches for him I'm good. Plus, he was a big help. He totally manned up and took charge right?" Said Kirishima
"Yeah, I agree. Iida's definitely the leader type for this class." Akio said in agreement.
"This is a waste of time. I don't care who the rep is, just hurry up." Aizawa told them.
" If Midoriya is nominating me for this job... then I humbly accept! I pledge to carry out the duties of class rep to the best of my abilities!"
"Sounds good, Emergency Exit!"
"Emergency Exit Iida. Don't let us down man!"
"Hello, I got two more votes than him…" Momo mumbled to herself. She looked at the back of the class to see Ryoichi was still cheering her on, feeling a bit more motivated.
School soon ended and Ryoichi was going home while chatting with his friends. That was until he was approached by Iida.
"Akatani, I want to thank you for your assistance earlier with calming the students down." Iida thanked him as he bowed down.
"Oh, I mean, it was nothing. Also, you don't really have to bow." Said Ryoichi.
"No, really. You're quick thinking has gotten us out of that situation. Oh, and here's your web thing." Iida handed him his web shooter back to him.
"See, Ryoichi? You do fit in with being class rep. So, why did you still drop it?" Momo asked him.
"I mean, I did help out with the situation, but Iida was the one who finished off the rest." Ryoichi answered. "Leadership may not be my thing, but it's better if I help someone."
"Huh, that's not bad actually. You're a really sweet guy, you know that?" Jiro complimented him.
"Oh, stop it." Ryoichi said while being flattered. "And speaking of help, maybe I can help around if you guys ever need it. How'd that sound?"
"Hm. That does sound like a good idea. In case one of us is not feeling too well, a classmate can fill in for the moment! What do you think, Yaoyorozu?" Iida asked, but noticed something wrong with her. "Yaoyorozu?"
Her mood was different as she looked all happy and giddy. There was some sort of warm aura around her, and she was giggling a little bit. "Sure… I'm fine with Ichi helping us… hehe…" She giggled again.
"Momo, you're acting odd again. And you're using my nickname again…" Ryoichi said with a small blush.
"But, you two are childhood friends right? So it's reasonable for her to call you that, right?" Iida stated.
"Yeah, it's not so bad, right, Ichi?" Jiro said teasingly.
"Why don't you let her call you that more often, Ichi?" Kari joined in with her.
"You two are not helping!" Ryoichi shouted, becoming more embarrassed.
