Chapter 9
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Among Kosei]
The next day was...pretty crowded at the entrance. Sora thought that yesterday was bad when he was asked so many questions, but now the Press was here, basically demanding answers from the students walking in who was in All Might's class, meaning everyone in 1-A was stuck outside, trying to get in and hopefully not deal with too much questions being thrown at them. Sora was with Izuku, Ochako, and Tenya, when the Press stormed over and started bombarding the group with questions.
"Hey you." A female reporter approached Izuku. She then asked "Can you tell us what it's like to work so closely with All Might?"
Izuku was already starting to get nervous and couldn't find an excuse. Sora already had it covered. He placed his hands on his friend's shoulder and pulled Midoriya back, placing himself in the way of the reporter. He put on a polite smile and had one hand behind his back. He used that hand to signal the other three to just get inside while they still can. Izuku got the message and with some persuading to Tenya, got them to get inside while Sora distracted them. Katsuki also managed to get inside thanks to Sora, but the Keyblade wielder didn't notice him.
"Sorry, He's just a little camera shy." Sora explained. "I'll answer some questions before I head in though."
"Thank you very much young man." The reporter didn't waste any time. "Are you one of the students who is in a class with All Might?"
"Yes, I was in one of his classes yesterday." Sora replied.
"What was it like being trained by the number one hero?" She questioned.
"It was great." Sora answered. "He made the class feel more lively, and he was pretty good, when it came to our safety when we had to use our quirks."
"What kind of teacher is he?" She continued questioning.
"I don't know." Sora responded. "It was his first day, so I don't think anybody knows yet." He nervously chuckled.
"What's he like in person?" The reporter asked.
Mr. Aizawa then walked in front of Sora and got in the way of the reporter.
"I think you've bothered my student enough." He said, "Go on, get out of here."
Aizawa walked with Sora while the Reporter tried getting their attention, Sora was about to turn around, but Aizawa advised against it, as it would probably make them try to stay a bit longer. After that, Sora heard a very loud alarm, as well as multiple sounds of metal doors. He turned around and then saw that the entire entrance was now blocked off.
"Uh...What just happened?" Sora asked.
"One of them probably tried to get in and tripped off the security system." Aizawa explained.
"We have a security system?" Sora replied.
"We train heroes here." Aizawa pointed out. "Some people don't like heroes and try to attack the schools that we have for them. So we made it that only students, police, people with a special pass, and faculty members can get in here, unless we disable the security system ourselves."
"That's good to know." Sora remarked.
"That means you shouldn't lose your student ID" Aizawa commented. "Go on and get to class."
"Oh, right." Sora realized that the class was about to start, and if he stayed at the same pace that Aizawa was going, then he'd be late, so he took off as fast as he could, to get to homeroom on time.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST I'll become a hero!]
Sora managed to get there on time and was thanked by Izuku for getting him, Iida, and Uraraka out of there. When Aizawa got to class, everyone was already in their seats. He didn't waste any time.
"Decent work on yesterday's combat training you guys." Aizawa commented. "I saw the video feeds and went over each of your team's results." He then looked at Katsuki. "Bakugo. You're talented, so don't sulk like a child about your loss, okay?"
Katsuki still looked sour about that, and he responded "Yeah, whatever."
"And Midoriya." Aizawa continued, causing the boy to tense up. "I see the only way you won the match was by messing up your arm again. Work harder, and don't give me the excuse that you don't have control over your quirk. That line's already getting old." Izuku was looking ashamed, as Aizawa continued. "You can't keep breaking your body while training here. But your Quirk will be really useful if you can get a handle on it. So show a little urgentsy huh?"
Izuku perked up on that last bit of Aizawa's explanation and was very determined to get his quirk under control. "Right!" He responded.
"Lastly, Sora." Aizawa said. Oh Crud.
"I noticed that you held back again." He started. "Normally I wouldn't tolerate that, but considering the reason why you did it, I'll let it slide for now."
Sora didn't know whether to be relieved or to face palm. It wasn't because Aizawa saw him hold back. It was because Sora didn't tell the rest of the class at all. Because of that, everyone who didn't know was shocked, because Sora not only was almost perfect in his combat training, but he held back on it, and the class could only guess why.
"Just don't make a habit out of it." Aizawa remarked.
"Understood sir." Sora replied.
"Let's get down to business." Aizawa spoke again. "Our first task will decide your future."
The entire class was tense. What was it this time? Another quirk test? A test of brains? Some sort of test of heart? Whatever it was, the class couldn't really be calm about it, considering last time.
"You all need to pick a class representative." Aizawa explained.
That exited the students a bit too much. Everybody started volunteering for the role.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Slapstick]
"Pick me guys. I wanna be class rep." Eijiro called out.
"I'll take it." Denki spoke next.
"Yeah, you're gonna need me." Kyoka interjected.
"Someone with style should" Yuga started, before being canceled out by Mina.
"Over here, I'm totally the right pick." She shouted.
Everyone was going for the role, except for Sora and Shoto. Sora did not want to deal with any more than he already had to, when it involved school, so he wasn't interested in the position, but that did not stop the rest of the class from basically screaming at Mr. Aizawa to pick themself over recommending someone else.
"Silence, everyone please!" Tenya broke the commotion. "The class representative's duty is to lead others. It'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."
Everyone just thought about it as an excuse to vote for him, but Sora thought he had a good point.
"Is this really the best idea?" Kaminari asked.
"We've only known each other for a few days." Tsu pointed out. "How do we know who we can trust?"
"Besides, everyone will just vote for themselves." Kirishima added.
"Most people will." Iida remarked. "But that means whoever does receive multiple votes must truly be the most suitable person for the job." He looked at Aizawa, who was getting in his sleeping bag, looking uninterested. "It's the best way, right sir?"
"Do what you want, just decide before my nap's over." Aizawa replied, laying on the floor.
"Thank you for your trust." Tenya responded.
With that, everyone got a slip of paper, and voted. Sora was a bit torn, between two people. Tenya and Momo. Iida was very serious about the role, and he did seem like someone who could lead the class, but Yaoyorozu basically was a natural born leader in a sense, and she seemed to always be the best in the class. Sora didn't have much time, and just decided to go with Momo.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Professor Aizawa Theme]
The votes were tallied and there were many people who got one vote. However, Sora had four votes, while Momo had three. The keyblade wielder was actually surprised that he was considered by four other people, but he could guess who they were. Midoriya was undoubtedly one of them, due to the two knowing each other, and the other three had to be Mashirao, due to the battle and how Sora held back for him, Mezo, due to Sora placing his faith in the six armed student, and Toru, due to him being nice to her, and how he also pulled his punches against her.
"I didn't even vote for myself and I still got the most?" Sora questioned.
"You're complaining about getting the job?" Sero asked.
"No. I'm just surprised that I was considered." Sora explained.
Tenya looked a bit ashamed that he didn't get any votes, but he also didn't argue with the system that he offered.
"So you voted for someone else, huh?" Momo pointed out.
"But you knew it was best to vote for yourself right?" Rikido remarked. "What were you trying to prove here Iida?"
Sora stepped up to the front of the class, and Momo was to his left.
"Alright, the class rep is Sora." Aizawa announced. "And our deputy is Yaoyorozu."
Sora hid his discomfort about receiving the job. He didn't really know how it worked, but he was gonna give it a try, unless it proved too much for him. Then he'd give it to Momo, since she was his vote to begin with.
"Uhh...I look forward to...repping I guess." Sora said.
"I suppose I can accept this." Momo replied.
"This might not be too bad." Asui commented.
"Yeah, I could definitely get behind Sora as the class rep." Kirishima added.
"They are the two best students when it came to the training and quirk test results." Denki pointed out.
After the morning classes, 1-A went to lunch.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Bright and Cheerfully]
"It's always so crowded in here." Ochako complained.
"That's because students in the Support, Management, and Hero courses all share the same cafeteria." Tenya explained.
Sora, Midoriya, Uraraka, and Iida were all eating together at the same table, as well as a few other students, but the four didn't know any of them, so they stuck to their little group.
"Mmmm. This rice is delicious." Ochaco praised, as she continued eating the dish.
"Congratulations on getting the position back in class Sora." Izuku stated. "I had a feeling that you'd be the one to get it."
"Thanks, but I'm not really sure how to go about it." Sora replied. "I'm not exactly sure that I'm even the right person for the job."
"Sure you are." Uraraka retorted.
"You'll be fine." Tenya added.
"Are you sure?" Sora asked.
"What you showed during your quirk assessment test and combat training, shows that you take action before anyone else, as well as see to it that your task is complete with the utmost efficiency." Iida explained. "Even though you held back during your combat training, you still were almost perfect all around. Even though I voted for Midoriya, I still considered you while deciding the role."
While Izuku was surprised that Tenya voted for him, Sora felt a little better about the situation.
"Thanks Iida." Sora replied. "Funny thing is I actually considered voting for you back there as well. But I decided to give it to Momo, because she seemed to be the safer choice."
"To be honest, that's completely understandable." Tenya commented. "I don't hold anything against you Sora."
"Didn't you want to be the rep though?" Ochako pointed out. "I mean you look the part, cause of the glasses."
"Wanting a job and being suited to it are quite different things." Iida remarked. "Observing the Iida family's Hero Agency has taught me that much."
"Agency?" The three repeated.
"Hold on, what does your family do?" Izuku asked.
"Uh, Izuku." Sora reminded his friend. "He said Hero Agency."
"Uh...Correct." Tenya confirmed, realizing that he just put some extra attention on himself.
"Ya know, I've been wondering something about you." Ochako said. "Admit it Iida. You're filthy rich."
"Uh..."Tenya looked a bit nervous about the subject. "I was afraid people would treat me differently if they knew about my family."
That comment made Midoriya and Uraraka just want to know more, and Iida ended up budging.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Hero A]
"You see," Tenya began. "The Iida's have been Pro Heroes for generations. It runs in our blood."
"What?!" Izuku and Ochako said in unison. "That's awesome!"
"Are the two of you familiar with the Turbo Hero Ingenium?" Iida asked
"I know all about him!" Midoriya nerded out. "He's a super popular pro with 65 sidekicks working alongside him at his Tokyo Hero Agency." Izuku then paused for a second. "Don't tell me."
"He's my elder brother." Tenya announced.
Izuku and Ochako were starting to fawn over their friend and Iida was a little proud of his heritage.
"Ingenium is an unmatched commander who honors the Hero code." Tenya continued. "As the second oldest Iida son, I strive to be just like him. However, I think it might be a bit soon for me to be in a leadership role. The reasons I explained before about Sora, as well as Izuku having the insight to see what the judges were looking for in the practical exam, outside of combat. Reps need that sort of insight."
Iida looked a bit confused at Izuku and Ochako, and Sora noticed that the two were staring a bit at him, even though he wasn't talking about his family anymore.
"That's the first time I've seen you smile Tenya." Uraraka pointed out. "You should do it more."
"Woah, you're right." Sora remarked.
"What are you talking about?" Iida said, looking slightly more confused. "I smile all the time."
"Well not around us." Sora remarked.
"Seriously?" Tenya replied. "This is the first time you've seen me smile?"
"Hey, yeah so about that practical exam..." Izuku started, bit then an alarm went off, causing everyone to stop talking.
"WARNING. LEVEL THREE SECURITY BREACH." The intercom announced. "ALL STUDENTS PLEASE EVACUATE THE BUILDING IN AN ORDERLY FASHION."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Runaway Battle]
This started to cause panic as people were getting out of their seats and making a break for the closest exit. The four of them got up and attempted to leave the building, only to see the hallway full of students. The students were pushing and shoving each other to try and get out of the building, and it was making the situation worse. Some people were getting trampled, and others were being pressed against the walls. For a school that trains Heroes that help people, this wasn't a very good presentation, as most people were just trying to save themselves.
"Ow, this is a total mob." Ochako commented, while she was getting squished next to Tenya.
"Everyone was quick to react." Tenya added. "As I'd expect from U.A. students."
"Did you expect the lack of order too?" Sora asked, while trying to stay with the three of them.
"They're causing a huge panic." Izuku stated, before getting shoved away from the group and forced into the crowd.
"Crud" Sora called out. "Midoriya!" He ended up also getting separated from the group, getting his back pushed against the glass. Tenya ended up following and got his front side facing the glass.
"Hng! Iida, can you see anything?" Sora asked. "I can't turn around. Who's out there?"
"I'm searching." Tenya responded. "It's...it's the press that was outside!"
"Are you kidding me?!" Sora commented. "I already answered their questions! Why are they still here?"
"They probably wanted an interview with the staff about All Might being a teacher here." Iida explained.
"Well now that we know that it isn't a villain, we need to find a way to tell the others!" Sora pointed out. "They're not gonna listen to us in this state of panic!"
"We gotta find a way to get their attention!" Iida instructed. "Find a spot where everyone can see us and find a way to get us there!"
The two had to hurry, as they saw their fellow classmates start to get shoved around and trampled in the crowd. If this didn't stop soon, people were going to get seriously injured over a false alarm. Sora ended up seeing the exit that people were trying to get to. And pointed over to it.
"We need to get up there!" Sora remarked, pointing at the sign, letting Tenya see their objective.
"You have any ideas on how to get there?" Iida questioned, as he was starting to get pressed against the glass.
"Grab onto me!" Sora reached out his hand, extending it as far as he could. Tenya managed to get his arm out and he started reaching for Sora's hand. It was difficult, because the crowd was working against them, but in short time they managed to reach each other. Sora then said, "Hold on!"
The two of them started to glow blue, and then they both were now at the ceiling. Sora wasted no time and used his Flowmotion to move himself and Iida, who was holding onto him, over to the exit sign. Sora held onto it and managed to grab onto the pipe above the sign, letting Tenya dangle from the arm that he was being held with. Iida took over from here.
"LISTEN UP!" Tenya announced. "EVERYTHING IS OKAY!"
Everyone then stopped and looked over to where the two were.
"IT'S JUST THE MEDIA OUTSIDE!" Iida explained. "THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! EVERYTHING'S FINE! WE'RE U.A. STUDENTS! WE NEED TO REMAIN CALM AND PROVE THAT WE'RE THE BEST OF THE BEST!"
That announcement calmed everyone down, as well as the police showing up just seconds later to remove the Reporters who caused the disturbance. When the crowd finally noticed that Sora and Tenya were still up there, waiting for the people to move, so they wouldn't land on anyone, the students got out of the way, letting them get down.
"So." Sora started. "What were you saying about not being ready to be a leader?"
Iida just realised that he did exactly what a leader would do in that situation, and he ended up being surprised.
"I don't think you give yourself enough credit." Sora commented. "Now I think I regret not voting for you."
"Gah!" Tenya responded. "Don't say that. You're the one who came up with the idea to do that."
"But you calmed down the crowd." Sora pointed out. "I just got you there."
The bell for class ended up ringing and they had to go to class. Sora couldn't finish what he wanted to say, but he decided to do so in the classroom. When class 1-A was present, Sora and Momo went up to the front.
"All right class rep." Yaoyorozu spoke. "Let's begin."
"Right." Sora replied. "Before we begin, I need to say something."
The class looked at their rep and Sora took a deep breath. He said he'd give the position a try, but with what happened earlier, he knew what to do. This wasn't his specialty, and he knew that, but he knew who's specialty it was.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Lunch Song]
"I'm evicting myself from the position of class rep, and would like to request that Tenya Iida replace me." Sora announced, causing the entire class to be shocked, and Aizawa to give a deadpanned expression at the kid. "I'm not the kind of person who can deal with a position like this, and after what happened earlier today, Tenya has already proven himself to be far more capable than me at taking control of a situation and ensuring safety and order. Because of that, I genuinely believe that he should take my place as class rep."
"Yeah, ya know what, if Sora vouches for the guy, I'm fine with it." Eijiro agreed. "And Sora is right. He totally manned up and took charge, right?"
"Yep." Denki added. "Oh and did you see how he was hanging on the ceiling like a sloth? Funny, since he's the speedy guy here."
"This is a waste of time." Aizawa interjected, once again in his sleeping bag. "I don't care who the rep is, just hurry up."
Sora stepped out of the center, and gestured to Tenya to come up. Though Iida was a slight bit hesitant, he stood up and went to the center of the class. He also shook Sora's hand and said, "Thank you Sora." before presenting himself to the class. Sora then saw Momo look a bit disheartened.
"Ehhehe, Sorry Momo." Sora apologised. "If it makes you feel any better, I voted for you the first time."
"Noted." Momo dejectedly said, still looking a bit down, because she had three more votes than him, and one of them was from the former class rep.
"You'll make an amazing deputy though." Sora said, trying to cheer her up. He then went to his seat and let the class begin.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Master Criminal]
Somewhere outside the school campus, there was a figure standing on a rooftop, looking at the damage done to the metal doors in the front of the school. The walls were turned to dust from what this figure could see, but that wasn't what interested them. It was the three people that were standing in front of it, observing the damage. This figure could feel some things with the three. Confusion. Worry. Irritation. It was pleasant.
But it didn't last long. The figure couldn't stay forever, and they knew that. A black and purple mist like void had opened next to the figure and they stepped through it slowly, wanting to savor the moment, but just as soon as the figure stepped through it, the void closed, vanished without a trace.
In another part of town, this same void appeared, and the figure stepped through, watching from another rooftop, as something was happening below. There was something attacking this area and it was causing the people around to be afraid, angry, unsure. The figure took a deep breath, as if to savor the moment, but it was interrupted, by a man.
A big bulky man, who came in and resolved the situation in an instant, causing everyone around him to instantly lose that fear and have it be replaced with joy, happiness, humor. It was sick to the figure. They didn't care about the event being resolved. Better to let it happen, watch the events spiral downhill into chaos and dread, it felt much better that way, but this figure didn't have the time to stand around. They were looking for something. The void appeared again and they entered it.
[Silence]
Now that the Hero class began, Aizawa spoke to the students.
"Today's training will be different." Aizawa commented. "You'll have three instructors. Me, All Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you."
Everyone was a bit surprised that three Pro Hero teachers were going to be focusing on one class. Hanta raised his hand.
"Sir, what kind of training is this?" Sero asked.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST U.A. Reporting For Duty]
Aizawa then held up a card that read RESCUE on it, before answering. "Rescue. You'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that."
The class once again got excited for their Hero training, well, most of them were. Shoto, and Momo were calm about it, and Katsuki was annoyed with it. He clearly didn't care about rescue.
"Guys, I'm not finished yet." Aizawa interrupted the class from their chatter. "What you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know you're excited about costumes. But keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, and they might limit your abilities."
The walls brought out the cases again.
"This special training is at an off campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there." Aizawa finished. "That's all, start getting ready."
The class got out of their chairs, grabbed their costumes, went to go change into them and then meet up at the bus. Everyone was wearing their costumes, except for Izuku who noted that it was destroyed from the training before. Sora then noticed Mineta staring again at Ochako. Momo also noticed this as well, so Sora let her deal with the small guy. It was getting annoying though, seeing this guy just look at a girl's features and nothing else. It made Sora question how he even got in here.
He and the rest of the class then heard a whistle be blown. It was Tenya who blew it, to get our attention.
"Gather round, class 1-A!" He instructed. "Using your student numbers, form two neat lines so we can load the bus efficiently!"
Iida then blew the whistle a few more times, basically telling everyone to get a move on and do it. While Sora did say that Tenya was a good choice for the job, he forgot about how the guy went about daily business. He's gonna have to get used to that.
When they tried to do what Iida asked, the class realized that the bus wasn't like any normal bus. It had an open layout, that practically ruined Tenya's idea, so people just sat where they wanted. Sora decided to give Izuku some space. Sure, they're friends, but Midoriya needed to get to know the people in his own world. After all, the Keyblade wielder was still trying to find a way out of this world, and when he leaves, he might not come back, so it was best that Izuku had other friends to rely on.
He was close to the back, sitting with Momo and Ochaco, and constantly looking in front of his seat, because Mineta was sitting in the seat in front of the two, and was becoming very annoying with his attempts to ogle at the girl next to Sora. He heard a few things, like how he, Shoto, and Katsuki all had pro quirks, but that Bakugo wouldn't be considered a pro because of his attitude. Sora smirked a bit when Katsuki basically proved their point, with his attitude.
"This is such a disgusting conversation." Momo said under her hand.
"Yeah, but it's kinda fun listening to them fight." Ochako replied to Yaoyorozu.
"He'll shut up soon." Sora remarked, looking at Momo, who looked a bit uncomfortable. "You okay?"
"I'm just dumbstruck at how he acts." Yaoyorozu commented.
"You and me both." Sora said.
"Hey, hey! We're here." Aizawa stated. "Stop messing around."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST My Hero Academia]
The class got off the bus, and entered the facility, and the other teacher was there. She was wearing a spacesuit that made her look like a marshmallow, and had plugs where her fingers are.
"Hello everyone, I've been waiting for you." She said.
Sora figured out from all of the other students gawking and Izuku giving a name drop, that this was the 'Space Hero, Thirteen.' Weird hero name being a number. And why was it 13? Sora had enough of that number already. What is it with that number that makes it used so much?
"I can't wait to show you what's inside." Thirteen continued.
"This is gonna be awesome." Two thirds of the class said in unison.
When they entered the building, there were multiple different zones that were already visible. Destroyed buildings, burnt up areas, a ship and water, mountains, a stormy area. This place was absolutely what Aizawa said it was.
"I created this training facility to prepare you to deal with different types of disasters." Thirteen explained. "I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, but you can call it U.S.J."
[Silence]
The acronym was just like a movie studio to everyone except for Sora, but that wasn't the point.
"Hey shouldn't All Might be here already?" Aizawa asked. "Let me guess, he booked an interview instead."
"Actually it's something else." Thirteen quietly replied, though Sora could still hear her. "Apparently he did too much Hero work on his way to school and he used up all his power. He's resting in the teacher's lounge."
Good job Yagi. In both ways. Sora had a feeling that something like that would be the case. He was still glad that All Might tried to be the Hero, but he overdid it and basically lost his time to teach Izuku how to even work his quirk.
"That man is the height of Irresponsibility." Aizawa concluded quietly. "Clock's ticking. We should get..."
Aizawa was interrupted, when he saw Sora look almost shocked and soon after, summoned the Keyblade and got ready for a fight. Suddenly sparks were starting to make the lights flicker, and the fountain in the middle started to turn off and on again for some reason. The two teachers looked to where Sora was, and all they could see was a black and purplish void start to appear.
Now that the tutorial for the domestic life is over, it's time for the first real level of this game. The attack on U.S.J. will be drastically different, but not in the way that you might think. Things will be added, battles will be had, and a new threat will show there-self after the battle. The villains are now coming into the story. Hope you enjoy and until I decide to upload again. ;)
