"Well, that just looks like a pain." Hitoshi said, as he, Valerie and Annie were staring at the large group of reporters all standing in front of the school's gates.
To be honest, this was to be expected. For what they heard the day prior, some reporters caught wind that All Might was a teacher at U.A. Which meant that of course, every and all News media wanted a piece of the story. So for who knows how long, they have stood at the school's entrance, asking all students; how does it feel to have the number 1 hero as your teacher?
Yeah, they weren't exactly thrilled to deal with the paparazzi this early in the morning.
I think maybe I could make the jump if I want to."
"D-d-don't! Y-You're wearing a skirt!" the blue girl pointed at her friend.
"Oh yeah. I'll have to find a way to fix that bit later." Annie told her. "I know, you can teleport us to the other side!" Annie told Valerie.
"W-We're not allowed to use our p-powers outside school grounds."
"Well, the usage of quirks isn't exactly allowed. But yours isn't technically a quirk." the New Yorker said, trying to get around that rule.
"Regulation and all of that mandates that the rules apply to other forms of powers." the Japanese boy told the girl.
"You two are no fun."
"S-So what do we do?" Valerie asked, not exactly liking the idea of having so many people around her and asking her questions.
"Mmm… Follow my lead." Hitoshi said, as he walked towards the entrance of the school, to the surprise of his friends.
The reporters soon took notice of the boy and as if vultures hogging a freshly killed corpse, they swarmed the boy. One of the reporters, a woman with brown hair tied in a ponytail, was the first to try and asked the boy a question. But before she could even utter a single syllable, the boy told the reporters something that would get them off his back.
"I'm from the general course." he said, as he walked past them.
Annie quickly understood Hitoshi's plan. So, he grabbed Valerie by her hand and raced past the reporters. "We're with him!" she told them, before they could even compute what was going on.
Once inside school grounds, they found it in themselves to relax a little. Valerie in particular looked to be extremely relieved. They soon started to wall towards their lockers before heading to their classrooms.
"Nice save back there, Hitoshi!" Annie praised her friend.
"It was nothing, I'm sure you two would have come up with something sooner or later."
"I-It still was nice of you to do it." Valerie told the purple-haired lad, making the boy smile.
"Well, I may not be in the hero course, but that doesn't stop me from trying to be one of the good guys." he said, as Annie gave him a pat on the back.
"That's the spirit, Hitoshi!" she told the boy. "Besides, the hero course is overrated. Trust me. As far as I see it, you're three times better than some of the folks there." the arachnid girl said.
Valerie upon hearing her comment, turned the other way as she flinched a little. Hitoshi himself noticed that there was something to what she said. He had a feeling that she actually meant that and that it was not some joke of hers. He frowned a little. Not because there were apparently people in the hero course that probably shouldn't even be there, that was of little importance to him at the moment. Afterall, he already believed that to a certain degree. In his eyes, his four friends were the only students worthy of the hero course. But it was the idea of someone pissing his friend off that ticked him off.
Although, he was going to let it slide at the moment. The two girls didn't need anyone to stand up for them, especially Annie. Heck, if he were anyone else, he might feel bad for anyone that annoys her. But he was her friend, so he knew that whoever did annoyed her, probably deserved whatever that was coming to him or her.
The trio then decided to say their goodbyes and that they were to meet at lunch period like always. When the two American girls arrived at their classroom, they saw that they were actually the first ones to arrive. They spent some time talking to one another, the redhead in particular doing some work on her project, until the rest of their peers started to show up.
The first ones to have arrived were Momo, followed by Tsuyu, Kirishima, Mina, Toru and Todoroki. And outside of the kid with the powers of AC, most seemed a little tense, nervous, or had an aura of having been overwhelmed. The two Americans instantly knew that it probably had to do with being harassed by the reporters with questions about the number one hero of Japan being their teacher. She wondered if Robbie and Kamala would fare like the rest of their peers. It didn't take long until the last of the class finally arrived. Those being, Izuku, Ochako, Tenya and Katsuki.
"Hey, look who's back from the dead!" Annie joked upon seeing that Izuku was doing better than the day prior. "Looking good, greeny. I see that you've already ditched the sling that you had yesterday."
"Oh, h-hi Parker-san! I-I'ts good to see you too!" he told the redhead. "Y-Yeah, Recovery Girl told me that I was only supposed to use it for the remainder of the day yesterday. I actually went to see her to have it checked… Also, she told me that you asked for me when you were there… thanks." he told the American, who smiled at him.
"It was nothing. I got roughed up yesterday, so having the chance to check on you while having me fixed, was like hitting two birds with one stone." she said, only to see that Tenya was mildly annoyingly looking at her. "Ok, now what? I can't say hello?"
"You could have not used that comment about Izuku coming back from the dead. It is both an exaggeration of his health yesterday, as well as insensitive."
"Oh, yeah… forgot that the doctors extirpated your sense of humor when you were a kid." she joked, irritating the boy. "Also, you have some nerve telling me off when you're the one arriving late." she said, taking the boy aback.
"I had to answer the reporters outside when they asked me about what it is to have the number one hero of the country as a teacher! It was the obvious thing to do." he said, chopping air with his hand for some odd reason. "Besides, I'm sure you've only arrived not that long ago."
"Actually, she and Vector were the first ones here." Jiro told the tall boy, much to his surprise.
"What?! How can that be?!"
"Didn't you have troubles with the reporters?" asked Ochako.
"Nope. It was all smooth ride for us, lovely gals!" she said, pointing at Valerie, who was blushing a little.
"C-Could you please not." the shy girl said.
"How did you manage to do that, Parker-san?" asked the raven-haired girl.
"Well Momo, you can call me Annie, seriously I don't mind." she told her. "And as for how we did it, it was fairly simple. They just thought that we were from the general course." she said, as Denki smacked himself in the forehead.
"Why didn't I think of that?!"
"Because such actions are not fitting for students of the hero course." Tenya said, looking at the two Americans. "I don't know what's worse. The fact that you used such trickery as a student of the hero course of U.A, or the fact that you brought Vector in your dubious scheme."
"Really?!" Annie exclaimed, especially when she saw that Valerie was feeling somewhat guilty. "Look glasses, we didn't lie about anything and I sure as heck didn't force Valerie to do something that she didn't feel like doing. A friend of ours is from the general course. So, when the reporters came, he told them that he was from generals and we took the chance to tell them that we came with him, which was true. So there was no lie. And before you say something dumb, it was all his idea."
"Well done, Parker." a voice said, complementing the actions of the American. When everyone turned, they saw that their teacher had just arrived at their classroom. "With that kind of quick thinking I can actually see you getting somewhere in the future… that is if you can control that mouth of yours."
"Why thank you, teach. Nice to know that I'm appreciated by someone." the redhead joked, much to the annoyance of her teacher.
"... Then again, I sometimes get to be wrong." Aizawa said, as he told the class to go to their seats. Once they were all at their desks, he started to talk about the matches of the day prior. "Bakugo, you're talented, so stop wasting your potential by acting like a five-year old. Am I making myself clear?" the teacher asked.
"... Yeah, I know." the boy replied.
"And Midoriya." he said, turning towards where the green-haired boy was. "Are you planning on breaking your body every time you're in a tough position? And don't give that excuse of not being able to control your quirk. Once you have overcome that obstacle, you'll be more flexible. But I need to see you put in the effort."
"Yes sir!" the boy replied, with some determination in his voice.
"Alright, well then-" Aizawa was about to say, when Parker raised her hand. "Yes Parker?"
"What about the rest? Don't we get to be told how much we sucked?"
"The rest will be briefed on your performance individually afterwards. I just wanted to go over the more troublesome of you first. Which reminds me…" the teacher said as he turned towards Valerie, much to her dismay.
"Annie why?"
"You're obviously talented and skilled. As a matter of fact, you may as well be among the best when it comes to finnes in hand to hand combat in this school. So stop acting like you're afraid of everything." Aizawa said, a little sternly. "Trust me, once you've done that, you may as well be near unstoppable, understood?"
"Y-Yes sir." the blue girl said, as her teacher turned to her friend.
"As for you, there are some things that I would like to discuss later on, like the fact that it seems like you got carried away in your fight against Reyes…" he said, making the girl chuckle a little. "But what I want to discuss now is the banter you were having with Reyes."
As he said that, the New Yorker was already expecting to be called for. Heck, she was sure that Tenya was just dying to do so and he didn't even hear any of it. It's likely that Aizawa had the audio of it, so she was already expecting to be chewed. But sometimes things happen in ways you didn't expect.
"While I don't like the idea of it and would prefer for you to drop it all together. I must say that if you want to do it, get better at it." the teacher said, surprising the American and the second son of the Ida family. "I saw that there were times in which you stopped momentarily to think of something. We cannot let that happen, am I clear?"
"Oh umm, yeah sure. Got it." she said, still a little shocked to have heard that.
"Ok, now that that's done, let's get started with homeroom business." he said, the students already expecting a thousand things. From another test, to someone getting detention for some reason. "... We need to pick a class president."
"It's just some normal school stuff!" they all thought, as damn near everyone started to shout that they wanted to be president.
Among the ones that rather not participate in the chaos that had started, were the two American girls. Annie herself saw that things were going to be mayhem for a while and wondered how things were going on in the other class. And as she was suspecting, the other class was also having a similar discussion as class A.
"Now before you all start blabering like idiots, let's get some ground rules!" Vlad told his class. "You kids have already had some time to know each other, so the way I want things to go down is for you to nominate whoever you think is capable of the job."
"What if we feel like we're capable of the job. Can't we nominate ourselves?" asked Juzo.
"No, you'll have to trust that the others are capable of seeing in you what you do." he told him, answering his question. "We'll need at least three nominations. After that, you'll have a minute and a half to explain to your classmates why you should be the class president. Understood?"
"Seems simple enough." the inhuman of the class said.
"Well then, if there aren't any questions, we may beg-."
"I nominate Reyes!" shouted Tetsutetsu, surprising the American in question.
"What the, why me?"
"Isn't it obvious? The class rep has to be the manliest of us all! And who can be manlier than the toughest guy of the class?!"
"And who says that Reyes is the toughest of us all?" asked Kamakiri.
"What, you're saying that you want the job?" Kamala asked the boy.
"No. But I refused to acknowledge Reyes as the strongest just yet."
"I agree with you Tetsutetsu. But we'll also need brains to represent our class. And since I can't nominate myself, I'd like to nominate Kendo." Monoma said, as he turned to the girl in question. "After all, it's quite obvious that she may as well be the most observant of us all."
"Oh, thanks Monoma… doesn't mean I'm going to nominate you though. Sorry." she said, seeing through the plan of the blonde boy.
"It was worth a try."
"Want to give it a try, Shoda?" asked Bonjo to his classmate.
"If you think I have a shot, ok I guess. But it's going to be hard to go against Reyes and Kendo."
"I nominate Juzo." the blonde American said.
"You think I have a shot?"
"Sure thing, I double your nomination!" Tokage joked.
Kamala smiled, chuckling as she saw her peers all nominating one another. Just then, she turned and saw Robbie, having a smirk on his face as he looked at her. The inhuman native of New Jersey thought that the boy of Los Angeles had some sort of scheme in hands and shivered.
"Robbie, don't you dare!"
"What? Nominate you? Of course not, who do you think I am? Web for brains" he told her, putting her at ease.
"Phew, thank… wait a minute. What's that supposed to mean?!" she asked him as the boy laughed.
"Air Jet! It's good to see you!" Ingenium told the man that was approaching him and Mayday.
Both the turbo hero and the friendly webslinger were currently doing a patrol through the streets of the city. Or at least, what it's considered to be a patrol in Japan.
Honestly, the American was somewhat bored at the moment. She understood the idea behind it, but she wasn't as much of a fan of it. Heroes were apparently supposed to walk throughout the city, in search for any crime or any other sort of distress. All while weaving at the peaceful citizens, their presence assuring them that they had not to worry of anything. She could see that model work… for someone that wasn't her.
She was used to a different way of patrolling the city, or seeing a hero patrolling anything. For Mayday, a superhero patrolling the city looked more like soaring through the sky, driving some sort of vehicle, or in her case, swinging across skyscrapers as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop. That's what she has been doing for around four years or so. So suddenly going from feeling the rush of adrenaline that coursed through her being as she reached high speeds to… literally walking.
It was something alright.
"Ingenium-san, it's good to see you!" replied the hero known as Air jet. Someone that wore a red bodysuit that had white armor on top of him, had what looked like two air cannons for arms and a large backpack (Which if the name was anything to go by, was probably some sort of jetpack).
"It's been a while since we met, hasn't it? I think since that bridge incident six months ago." the turbo hero said.
"Yeah. You sure saved my skin that day." the hero replied, turning to Ingenium's companion. "Um… not to be rude but-"
"Bad taste, yeah I heard it before." she told him, already having to hear a pro making the same comment every once in a while. "Name's Spider-Girl."
"Is there any rela-"
"He's her dad." Tensei said, surprising Buster Hero.
"Wait, for real?!" he asked him. "I heard that he had a daughter, but I never expected to meet her! What are you doing on the other side of the globe?"
"It's a long story."
"So that means you're a pro now?"
"I wish. Maybe that way I could go around and swing as I pleased. Instead of walking by. I'm basically on probation, with Ingenium having to look after me."
"Which she doesn't even need, by the way. At this point, we're basically hoping for her to finally get her license. But sometimes it feels like they don't want to give her one."
"Why's that?"
"Take a shot." Mayday said, as the pro-hero realized what she meant.
"Oh, yeah. That makes sense… Hey, mind if I join you? It's been a slow day so far. Might as well have some company while doing my patrol."
"Sure, I don't see any issue with it."
"Fine with me."
As the head of Idaten and the arachnid-themed heroine agreed, the trio of heroes started to walk by. Waving at the passing citizens and hearing their praises directed to them. And by them, it was mainly to Ingenium, who definitely had his own set of followers as well as a couple of quite attractive ladies that were asking him if he would like to have a drink with them. Air Jet had some praises in between and Mayday had basically none. There were some that did think that she looked interested, but the ones that either recognized her, or related her to her dad looked at her with a little wariness. Definitely not the treatment that she was used to, but it's not like they had their reasons.
"So, Spider-Girl." Air Jet said, drawing the spider-totem's attention. "Is this your first time patrolling with another pro-hero?"
"As far as Japan is concerned… I think? I used to have some patrolling days with my parents every once in a while. Had some friends that I used to hang around with, although I'm sure that Japan wouldn't be their biggest admirers." Spider-Girl said, referring to the newest iteration of the New Warriors. "Oh, there's also the first class that graduated from the eastern branch of Avengers Academy!"
"Speaking of the Avengers, have you… I don't know, work with any of them?" he asked the American.
"Some. Met Iron Fist that one time. There's the time I met Thor, Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch that other time… Oh, the time I teamed up with Cap was pretty cool!"
"Huh, I… don't take it the wrong way, but considering who your dad is, I expected for you to work with them more times."
"You kidding? Those guys are way above my weight class. Heck, I may as well be cannon fodder compared to some of them." Mayday told Air Jet. "Besides, it's not like you guys go have coffee with All Might every other Wednesday, do you?"
"Point there, but considering that he's teaching our siblings, there might be a chance." Tensei pointed out.
"... Shoot, you're right! Wait… would that be good in my case?" she asked, However they were suddenly interrupted when the sound of distress could be heard.
Turning around, they could see some smoke coming from around three or four blocks away from them. If Mayday recalled correctly, there was a convenient store in that direction, alongside a three star restaurant in that direction. Maybe not the biggest heist, but she was sure that a criminal could get some decent money from that.
"There goes that slow day, doesn't it?" Mayday joked.
"Let's hurry!" Ingenium exclaimed, as he dashed as fast as possible.
Air Jet was about to do the same. He knew that when it came to speed, Ingenium was hard to beat. He was already assuming that he would be the first one to arrive at the scene of the crime. However, to his surprise, he saw the girl in the red and blue costume easily leaping towards a lamp post and then shooting two lines of webbing that she used to shoot herself into the air. Afterwards, she started to swing and to his surprise, she ended up catching up to the turbo hero himself with minimal difficulty.
"Alright, Ingy! Let's see if you don't make me wait this time around!"
"You only beat me because I had to help this nice lady cross the street! Besides, you only had to wait for less than a minute!"
"Excuses!"
"You're jealous because she gave me some candy and you didn't have any!"
As the two kept on their course, Air Jet couldn't help but to stare in awe and feeling a little outclassed by the two of them. Ingenium, he already knew, was good. But Spider-Girl?
"Hopefully I'll get to do something by the time I get there." said the buster hero as he started to follow the other two.
"I got four votes?!" asked a shocked Midoriya.
After chaos erupted in the classroom, with mostly everyone wanting to get the position of class president, Tenya finally put some much needed order in the classroom. Stating that the only logical way for them to decide was through voting. Of course some questioned the idea a little. After all, they didn't know each other that well and they believed that most would only vote for themselves. Annie suggested simply, not do that and that whoever felt like they could do the job, should give a small speech to explain why they should vote for them. They asked their teacher what he thought about it, only to be told that he didn't care as long as they did it quickly. All the while he got inside of his sleeping bag.
Which was enough to apparently throw the American's idea through the window. So after a quick voting session (which as expected, ended up with most of the students voting for themselves) the only two students to have gotten with more than one vote were Izuku Midoriya and Momo Yaoyorozu.
And to say that he was shocked, would be an understatement.
"Alright! Which one of you fuckers voted for Deku?!" Bakugo asked angrily.
"Yeah, because of course we would all vote for a pompous jerk like you. Might as well hand the pervert the keys to the girl's bathroom while we're at it." Annie joked.
"Who are you calling pervert?!" asked Mineta.
"Not like she doesn't have eyes." muttered Jiro.
Bakugo turned towards the American and glared at her, which didn't phase her at all. "Stop looking at me like that. I voted for Momo."
"You did?" asked the raven-haired girl.
"Sure. No offense to you Izuku. But between you and her, she seems way more qualified for the job." she said, causing a sense of pride inside of the young Yaoyurozu.
"If you are so willing to have such faith in me, then I'll do my best not to let you down, Parker-san!" Momo exclaimed.
"Good to know… But seriously, you can just call me Annie."
"THAT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY DEKU HAS FOUR VOTES! WHICH ONE OF YOU DAMNED EXTRAS DID IT!"
"I think it'll be best if he doesn't find out I was one of them."
"Don'tlookatmedon'tlookatmedon'tlookatmedon'tlookatme!"
Thought both the girl of gravity powers and the other American of the classroom.
After a couple of other classes (in which Izuku was assaulted by Katsuki's murderous glare… a little more than usual), the students all headed to the cafeteria. Annie and Valerie headed for their same table with the rest of their group. With two little additions.
One of them was Mei Hatsume, who was basically thrown at them when given the chance. She was an ok girl, but she tended to be too self-absorbed in her own inventions. Or as she likes to call them, her babies. Word that they were thinking of banning her to use in their table. Annie was actually thinking of how her kind of, but not really cousin used to have a cursing jar for uncle Kaine. Maybe she could use something like that for Mei. Especially since so far, it seems like she was the only one that could remotely get her to listen to them.
The other one, they didn't know yet. All they were aware of is that she's a classmate of Robbie and Kamala. Apparently, something important had happened to them at homeroom. At the moment, they were all waiting for the students of class B to make their appearance. Meanwhile, Mei seemed to be working on some sort of round device that somewhat resembles those futuristic cup holders that they received from U.A, only a little bulkier.
"W-What's that?" Valerie asked.
"Oh this lovely piece of equipment is a small magnetic generator that I'm planning on using in the development of a new baby of mine!" she said, excitedly.
"How many times do I have to remind you no to use the word baby?" Annie asked her, only for her eyes to widen as she pulled her notebook out. "Wait, if I replaced the reloading mechanism for magnetic cartridges, then I could reduce the time that it would take me to reload!"
"Yes, Anna-May! Let the science flow through your veins!"
"T-That sounds scary." Valerie said, as Hitoshi chuckled.
However, said chuckled turn to a frown when Robbie and Kamala arrived at their table with a girl of orange hair. She was no doubt the classmate that they were talking about. He had a feeling that his friends knew about his distaste for hero course students that weren't them, so he tried his best not to show it as much. Especially since, unlike the way Annie talked, it didn't seem like class B had any disliked members among them.
"Sorry we're late." Kamala told the group as she gestured to the orange-haired girl. "Well, let's get you all introduced. This is-"
"Let her do the talking. You're probably going to screw it up or something." Robbie said, making the inhuman frown as their classmate chuckled.
"Okay, I'm Kendo Itsuka. It's very nice to meet you." she told the group.
"Nice knowing you Itsuka. I'm Anna-May, but you can call me Annie, I really don't mind."
"I-I'm V-Valerie Vector."
"... Shinso Hitoshi." said the student of the generals course, although it was rather cold.
Mei on the other hand, was still focusing solely on her project. Making Robbie and Kamala sigh. So, Annie had to elbow her lightly to snap her off her train of thought. Once she got her attention, she told her to introduce herself, while also saying something about her being a possible future client, so as to make sure she would.
"Hatsume Mei! Need any upgrades or anything of the sorts and my babies will do the trick!"
"B-Babies?" asked Kendo, not really understanding what the girl said.
"She means her inventions." Answered the other Japanese native.
"I never thought someone would use the term baby to refer to one's invention." she said as she took a seat alongside the other students of class B.
"Yeah, we're trying to adapt to her. She was basically thrown at us yesterday because someone thought it was a good idea." said the redhead, looking at Robbie.
"I'll admit, the idea worked better in my mind." he said as he took a bite out of his lunch.
"So, what is the news you wanted to tell us? Is there a lovely gal that swooped you out or something?" Annie joked, making Valerie blush, Kamala chuckle, Kendo hold a laugh and Robbie to groan.
"Have I told you that you have a big mouth?"
"Yes you have." said Hitoshi.
"If it's not that, then what is it?" Annie asked.
"Oh man, I don't know what to say." Kendo said, feeling a little content and proud of herself.
"I know what to say. How the f… heck did this happen?" asked Robbie.
After the nominations of four students and their time to give a small speech as to why they should be elected, the rest of the class all voted on who they believed should be the class president. It was a little even, or at least more than they first thought. Juzo and Shoda getting three and four votes in total. the remaining of the other twelve votes (since the nominees weren't allowed to vote) going to Robbie and Itsuka. With Kendo getting a total of seven votes and Reyes getting five.
Something that surprised the Californian boy.
"Ok then. That means that the class president will be Kendo Itsuka and the vice-president is going to be young Reyes!" Vlad said, holding the shoulders of the two kids in question. "Well done you two!" he congratulated them.
"I knew that it would be hard to top those two." Shoda said.
"Look on the bright side, you at least beat me." Juzo told his classmate.
"Well, isn't this the part in which you say something profound or something?" asked the inhuman.
"I guess the only thing that I have to say is… well, thank you. I'm honored that you all found it in yourselves to believe in me and to vote for me to be the class president. I promise to do everything within my power to not let any of you down. And so that we can all reach new heights together!" Kendo said, as the rest of the class clapped to her words.
"With a speech like that, I bet everything that I'll say would be underwhelmed in comparison." Robbie muttered.
"Ok Reyes. Is there anything you'd like to say?" asked their teacher.
The American looked at his classmates. All eagerly awaiting to hear his words. He sighed, believing that this would be something of a pain… but just because it was a pain, didn't mean that he was not going to give it a try.
"I'm not as good with words as Kendo, so don't expect some award-level speech." he said, making a few of them chuckle. "... I had this teacher some time ago. His name was Daniel Wakeford. He's a good man that got the misfortune of getting to teach a bunch of nuisance jackasses. Still, he was one good teacher. It was obvious that he wanted the best of us." Robbie started to speak, remembering his time at Hillrock Heights. "Well, he once approached me and told me that I was quite charismatic to the rest of the class. That I was some sort of natural leader that everyone else could rally behind. He told me that I could… I don't know, exercise that quality in helping keep everyone in check and guide them in a way that could do good for all. I guess I didn't have the drive to do that back then." he said.
The entirety of the classroom listened very carefully. From the obvious students like Kamala, Kendo and Tetsutetsu. To others that were quite a surprise like Kamakiri and even to a certain degree, Shiozaki. Vlad couldn't help but to smile. It seemed like he was right about the boy after all.
"Whatever, I guess I now have the chance to do what he asked me to do back then. So yeah. If Kendo says that she wants to reach new heights with all of you, then I'll be damned if I'm not going to help around by keeping you all in check." he said, smiling a little bit.
And as he finished saying that, the class all cheered for him. Some even went a little overboard with their praises. Like Tetsutetsu who was… crying for some reason.
"For someone who isn't that good with words, that went pretty well." Kamala said, congratulating her friend.
"It was more than just well! That was the manliest speech that I have heard!" Tetsutetsu said, whipping away what they were sure he would call manly tears. "Reyes! Don't you worry! We'll become the manliest we can possibly become!"
"It could have gone better… but I guess I can get behind it." murmured Togaru.
"Guess we're not allowed to slack up with those two keeping us in line, can we?" asked Rin as Manga agreed with him.
"Indeed!" Monoma said, as he walked towards his two classmates. "With you two in charge of the class, we'll be sure to become the very best that U.A has ever seen! And then, we'll prove that we're in a whole different league than those of class A-" Monoma was saying until he was hit in the head and knocked down.
Although this time, it wasn't due to Kendo karate chopping him in the head. She sure looked like she was about to do that, but couldn't do it in time. Instead, the one that delivered the blow, was none other than the vice-president himself, much to the surprise and to a certain extent, amusement of the class.
"... I did say that I was going to keep you all in check, didn't I?" he said, as the entire class agreed on one thing.
If Kendo was to be like their big sister, then Reyes would no doubt be the enforcer of class B.
"Bwahahahaha! Enforcer?! That sure suits you pal!" Annie laughed as Robbie murmured something.
"Remind me to pummel Hiryu for coming up with that crap." said Robbie, after he and Kendo told the group that since the two were chosen to be the class reps, then they should probably have lunch together to talk about their new roles as heads of their class.
"You're only proving their point by saying that." Hitoshi told the boy.
"Can we talk about something else? This is getting annoying." said the Enforcer of class B.
"Whatever you say Montana!" Annie said, causing a few of the other kids to look at her weirdly. "Montana? You know, he's a member of… forget it, none of you would get it." she said, as Valerie and Kamala were about to raise their hands. "No one but you two, I mean." she said as they lowered their hands.
"How about the whole mess of reporters that is outside of the school." Shinso suggested.
"Oh yeah, those guys made me completely nervous." Kamala said, with Kendo agreeing with her.
"I understand their excitement, but they sure were a little… I don't know… intense I guess?"
"Yeah, sure, sure." Mei said, not really paying attention to the conversation and focusing on the device at hand.
"Honestly if it weren't for Hitoshi saving our skin back there, we would have been in serious trouble." Annie said, complementing her friend once again before turning to Reyes. "How about you, sunny boy? Had any trouble?"
"Not really. I came through the parking lot, so I didn't have to deal with them." he said, much to the surprise of anyone but the class B girls (Mei included).
"Wait… but you're fifteen, right? As in, younger than eighteen?"
"Just because we're not all super genius, doesn't mean we don't know basic math, web for brains."
"That's not what I mean. I read that you need to be eighteen to have a license and that even the permits that they give to anyone below that age need to be at least sixteen and can only drive bikes or something."
"Let's just say that you know who pulled some strings that allow me to drive." he said, taking a slip of his drink. "Since I'm in the hero course or something, I can drive so long as I'm under the supervision of a full-licence pro-hero that could be considered qualified or something."
"So Yu came with you?" asked Annie, noticing how odd that sounded.
"No, if that were the case, then she would no doubt take the car back with her. And there ain't no way I'm letting anyone else drive it." he told the others, as they all had a look in their faces that said 'of course you wouldn't'. "Present Mic lives near where I am. So he came around and I drove him here… and fuck is he louder when you're next to him."
"You mean the guy whose superpower is having speakers for a throat? Gee, who would have thought that?" Annie said sarcastically.
Before anyone else could say anything else, they noticed that someone was approaching their table. It was a certain raven-haired girl walking towards them with a plate of food in hand. Both Annie and Valerie recognized the girl as Momo Yaoyurozu. One of their classmates and newly elected vice-president of class A.
"Momo, how's it going?" asked the redhead, making Hitoshi frown just slightly enough that no one noticed it.
"Hello Parker-san, would it be ok for me to sit with you all?" the girl asked as everyone looked at each other.
"I'm new to this table, so I don't think I have a saying to it, do I?" asked Kendo all while Mei was still working on the basically fancy magnet.
"Why? Don't you usually sit with the rest of the hero course?" asked Hitoshi.
"I do, but it's just that I'm a little curious about something and I would like to sit here today. That is of course, if you don't have any issue at all."
"I don't see anything wrong about it. But seriously, just call me Annie."
"N-Neither do I… I guess."
"We've already invited someone else to sit with us. What's one more person to add, right?"
"I guess you're right Khan." said Robbie, the only one still yet to talk (outside of Mei) was the purple-haired boy, who was quite skeptical of it all."
"... If they say they're ok with you, then I guess it's fine." he said, as the girl smiled and nodded.
"Thank you." she told them, thanking them as she took her seat.
Meanwhile, in another part of the cafeteria, where most of class A and B. Class B were mostly keeping to themselves, for they already knew that Robbie and Kendo would be by themselves with the friends of the Americans to speak about their new responsibilities. With the exception of Tokage, who was insisting on Kaibara to go talk to the blue girl that was with Reyes, Kendo and Khan. As for class A, there were some that took glances every once in a while to where the Americans were seating. They already find it odd that they sat in another part of the cafeteria, somewhat away from the hero course, but the fact that Yaoyurozu decided to go there was also a surprise to them.
"I wonder why Yaoyurozu went to Parker-san's table?" asked Uraraka as she ate her food. "It's already a little odd that she and Vector eat so far away from the rest of us."
"She probably wants to make sure that Parker is behaving the way a hero course student should." Tenya said, Midoriya's sweat dropped down his forehead.
"Don't you think you're being a little hard on her?" asked Midoriya..
"Yeah, it did sound like she was a little overwhelmed yesterday." Uraraka noted. "She mentioned something about her siblings and mother, but nothing about her father. I hope there's nothing wrong happening to her at home."
"I… I noticed too. And while I do believe her attitude can be quite infuriating… I do hope nothing wrong happens to her. Even if she doesn't behave the way a proper U.A student, she's still a fellow classmate of ours." he said, for despite his stern manners he did care about his classmates.
"Speaking of being overwhelmed, I still don't know what to do about being class president. I don't even know how it happened."
"You'll do well Midoriya. Your judgement and quick thinking are the reasons I voted for you, after all."said Tenya, surprising his two friends.
"IT WAS YOU!"
"But didn't you want to become the class president, Ida-kun? You even look the part with the glasses and all."
"Uraraka can be very blunt!"
"If there is one thing that Parker and I can at least agree on, it is that the position is one of responsibility. As such, it was only logical for me to vote for whoever I thought could do justice to the position. There's a difference between looking the part and being prepared for it." he told them, amazing the two by how proper he was.
"Wow, the way you talk and the words that you use. You're a rich boy, aren't you?" Uraraka asked bluntly, taking Tenya by surprise.
"... I tried to hide it to the best of my ability because I didn't want to draw attention…" said the supposedly rich boy, as his two friends simply stared at him, waiting for his answer. "I come from a family of heroes and am the second son."
"Ehhh?! Awesome!" the two said.
"Tell me, have you ever heard of the turbo hero Ingenium?"
"Of course I have! He's a popular pro-hero who's agency has hired as many as 65 sidekicks in Tokyo!"
"You're quite knowledgeable, Midoriya." said Tenya, surprised by the green-haired boy. "But indeed! What you said is correct and he just so happens to be my big brother!" he said with pride, amazing the two before him even more. "A hero beloved by many! Someone who prizes the rules and guides the people! And I aspire to be like him one day!"
"You sure think highly of him don't you?" asked Uraraka. "I can't really understand it that much since I'm an only child."
"Yeah, me too."
"I do indeed. Ever since I was just a child, I always wanted to be someone that could follow in his footsteps. He has even been given the chance of taking a foreigner pro-hero under his wing!"
"Really?!" the two asked as he nodded.
"I have yet to hear all the details. But from what I understand, this foreigner is some sort of prodigy that aspires to become a pro-hero. And out of all the pro-heroes of the country, even the top ten heroes, he was specifically sought out by people that, according to him, could be considered living legends!" he said, with pride in every one of his words. "The fact that my brother is acknowledged even throughout other parts of the planet… as such, I think it might be too soon for me to take a leadership position. For the time being, I believe the best course of action should be to learn from example. And I can't think of anyone better than you Midoriya." he said, smiling at his friend.
The two looked in awe at their friend as they smiled back. And while Uraraka commented that this was the first time that she has seen Ida smile, Midoriya couldn't help but to draw a parallel between how Ida sees his brother in a similar light as he sees All Might. It was… it was pretty nice.
Back at the American's table, Hitoshi decided to ask a question to the girl that had just arrived at their table… if a little blunt.
"Why did you come here? Just wondering." he asked, probably sounding a little rude, but it didn't seem like it bothered the raven-haired.
"Oh, right." she said, as she turned to the redhead of the group. "Parker-san, could I ask you a question?"
"Sure, but seriously just call me Annie." she said, starting to believe that no one was going to listen to her.
"Well, I was wondering something… why did you vote for me?" she asked, taking them aback a little. "From what I saw from your match yesterday, you looked like you were taking charge of the situation. With that in mind, one would assume that you would try to get the position of class president… but instead you voted for me… why?" she asked.
Annie looked at the girl and thought of a way to put her thoughts in words. "Well… I guess that being a leader would be nice and all… but let's face it, there was no way I would have won." she said, half-joking and half-serious, shocking Momo. "I mean, I can already tell that I'm not the most popular girl in class, right?"
"I… I don't know how you could think that. Kirishima-san has voiced his admiration to you and even Midoriya-san as well as Uraraka-san." she told the American.
"Yeah, sure they're there. But I was never that popular back home and I can already tell that it won't be that different here. Besides; Tenya's always on my back, Katsuki is a complete pain, Tsuyu clearly doesn't know what she's talking about… and I don't know if you've noticed, but I think Shoto looks at me weirdly."
"You don't say, he does?" asked Hitoshi while frowning.
"I can assure you that I'm sure that others don't think badly of you. And perhaps it's just just some misunderstanding." the girl tried to reason with her.
"Probably, but I just don't think that I would have done that better. Now you on the other hand, you got someone else believing in you. So I'll take it they see in you what I do." Annie told Momo while smiling. "Now, if I were my sister, then I might have given it a chance. Heck, I'm sure that she would have won the whole thing no problem!" she said, making Momo a little intrigued.
"You mentioned having an older sibling. Do you get along with her well? I've heard of sibling relationships that don't end well unfortunately."
"Don't worry Momo. My sis and I get along pretty well… that is when she's not nagging me for something." she complained a little, but still chuckled. "She's… I don't know how to say it. Special I guess?" she said, nodding to her statement. "Yeah, I guess special is the best word to describe her. She may not be some sort of super genius like I want to believe I am, but she's not some dumb bimbo either. She's always had this spark in her, you know?"
"You mentioned that she was attempting to gain a hero license, right? Is that why you're attending U.A?" Momo asked, tensing those who knew of the girl's past.
"Umm… you see.. the thing is-"
"It's a little complicated." Annie said, cutting Kamala mid-sentence. "You could say that it's kind of a family thing." she said, technically not lying.
"I see."
"But seriously, she's pretty good. When she was my age she tried to do something like what we did back at homeroom and could have won. But she had other things that got in the way of it and because of that, she nominated a friend of hers that I think ended up winning." Annie told the vice-president of class A. "I don't know much about who she's working with. Mainly because she doesn't want me to bother her about details or something. But what I do know is that he's apparently a bigshot in Japan and that even he sees just how special she is. That she should already have her license already or something… guess that if some big time hero from the other side of the world says that about her, it must mean that she really is the real deal, right?"
"She does sound like it." Kendo said.
"I do have plans for the future. Maybe I could try the whole leader thing later down the line. But until I'm ready for it. Until I get to be a little more like my sister… then I guess I should leave it to someone that fits the bill." she said, looking at the rave-haired. "And from our class, you certinately fit the criteria, don't you?" she told the girl.
Momo couldn't help but to smile at such words. If she had such faith in her. If the American was so willing to believe in her abilities after only a few days of having met her, then she was no doubt going to do her best to not let her down. And just as a certain boy from class B finally walked towards their table (after being convinced by a certain girl that had the ability of splitting her body and a stoic black-haired girl) and was about to speak to them, something happened.
The sound of a siren could be heard across the halls of the building. Most started to feel some level of panic and started to exit the cafeteria as fast as possible. With the exception of some of the first year students. Especially the students of class A, who were the most clueless as to what was happening.
"W-What is that?" asked a scared Valerie.
SECURITY LEVEL 3 HAS BEEN BREACHED
STUDENTS, PLEASE EVACUATE PROMPTLY
And with that, chaos erupted.
"What's level 3?" asked Annie.
"It means someone must have entered school grounds without authorisation!" Kendo answered.
"How come you don't know that?! We were told that in orientation!"
"We weren't in orientation! What part of crazy hobo teacher didn't you understand?!" Annie asked the inhuman as they exited the hall.
Once they were in the hallway, they were quickly squashed by everyone in it. Students pushed and pulled and stepped on others as they panicked their way to the exit. Even some of the seniors, who were some of the more alarmed, since this has never happened in their time at U.A. And soon enough, they ended up forcing some to smash some of the other students against the glass. One of them in particular, being Tenya, was able to see what was the cause of all the commotion. It wasn't a villain attack, or anything like that. It was just that, somehow, some of the reporters from early in the morning managed to get inside of school grounds.
Now armed with the knowledge of what caused the alarms to go off, he did his best to try and inform the rest of the students to no avail. However, he still wouldn't give up just yet. He saw Uraraka not that far from him and an idea popped into his head. If only he could reach her, then he may be able to get everyone to listen to him. However, it was easier said than done. Thankfully for him, Annie and the others managed to notice what he was doing.
"I- AUCH- I think that Tenya has an idea!" Annie exclaimed as the president and vice-president of class B got an idea.
"GUYS!" Kendo shouted, getting the attention of her classmates that were near the class A boy. "YOU HAVE TO HELP CLASS A'S STUDENT REACH THE GIRL!"
"And why would-"
"DO IT OR YOU'RE GETTING THE SHIT BEATEN OUT OFF, YOU HEAR ME?!" Robbie told them as they did as they were told and helped Tenya reach Ochako.
Once he managed to touch her hand, he started floating before he used his quirk to propel himself to the top of the exit. After spinning many times to the front of the hallway, Tenya got a hold of what looked to be a tube and after making sure he wouldn't fall down, he yelled at the rest of the students.
"IT'S OKAY!" he shouted, getting everyone's attention. "IT'S JUST THE PRESS! THERE ISN'T NEED TO PANIC! YOU ARE ALL STUDENTS OF U.A! YOU SHOULD BEHAVE APPROPRIATELY TO THE STANDARDS OF U.A!" he shouted, as everyone calmed down and soon enough, the police came by and told the press to buzz off.
Afterwards, everyone returned to their classes, where the president of class A had to give an announcement to the rest of his peers.
"Uh… I need to say something…" he said, as most of the class started to listen. "I… I think that Ida-kun should be the class president." he said, much to the surprise of the glasses-wearing boy. "You managed to calm things down when everyone was in a panic. And… I believe that Ida-kun being the class president is the right choice because of that!"
"Yeah, he has a point! Ida made an awesome showing back there!" Kirishima said, although mentioning that he didn't mind Midoriya either.
"He reminded me of an emergency exit back there."
"I don't care. Just get this over so that I can go back to sleep." said the teacher as Ida started to rise from his seat.
"If the class president said so, then I'm unable to refuse!"
"Do us proud Emergency Exit Ida!" someone said as everyone started to chant emergency exit in honor of their new class president.
… well, mostly everyone.
"What a corrupt system." Annie said.
Meanwhile back at class B, Vlad was congratulating his two class reps.
"Reyes! Kendo! You two made us proud!" he told the two.
"I'm not sure how we did that, sir." Kendo said, with Robbie agreeing.
"Yeah, that Tenya guy or whatever was the one that calmed everyone down."
"And you two saw this and decided to help him calm everyone else." he said, bringing realisation to the two. "Being a leader is not about being correct all the time. Or about laying the plan for victory. It's about paying attention to your surroundings and listening to others to be able to make the correct decision. And that… you two made right." he told them, making the duo feel better.
"Besides, who knows? Maybe if not for you, someone could have gotten hurt." Kamala told the two.
"Correct!" Monoma said, causing some of the students of class B to roll their eyes, already knowing what he was about to do. "Why, if not for you, then that class A boy would have never succeeded in his attempt of calming the rest of the students! And surely, one of us would have easily picked his slag! Proving once and for all, that our class is truly supi-BLEGH!" he tried to say, before being hit by Kendo karate chopping him in the neck.
"You hit him last time. It was my turn now." she told Robbie, who only nodded in agreement.
"I can work with that system." he said, solidifying their position as the dominant students of their classroom.
"This is the heist of the year!" shouted a woman dressed in a one piece red suit with a pair of white boots, a belt and a mask.
"This is the heist of the year to you?" asked a female voice that came from above. Said voice belonged to the one and only, the Stunning Spider-Girl. "No offense, but I have seen bankrobbers pulled more with less muscle. Seriously, this is just overkill for a simple convenient store."
"And who are you supposed to be, anyway?!" asked the female criminal, to the hero who was perching on top of a building nearby.
"The name's Spider-Girl. I would ask yours lady, but in about five minutes, you're going to exert your right to remain silent." she quippe.
"Tsk, aren't you a cocky little b-" she was about to say, only to be blitz by the heroine, who in the blink of an eye, wasin front of her, delivering a right hook at the villain, causing her to stumble back and fall back on her butt. "Alright, now you've done it! Let's teach the runt not to mess with us!" she yelled at the other criminals around her as she created a blade from her wrist and started to swing at her opponent, who effortlessly dodged it.
Just as one of the other six criminals was about to charge at her, being a woman that had crab pincers for hands, Ingenium came from behind. Having just secured the perimeter and attacking the woman with a right hook that was more than enough to leave her out cold. And just as a duck-looking criminal was about to swing a big mallet at the turbo hero, he was knocked down by a powerful air blast. Courtesy of the blast hero Air Jet.
"At least I didn't get here late." he said as he kept on firing.
"Yep, this is going to make things easy for us." she said, dodging another swing and kicking her onto the ground once again. "Mind telling me if these are some random crooks, or are they supposed to be like, important or something? I can never know when it comes with baddies from this side of the globe."
"The lady is called Miss Scythe-blade. Not the most original of names, but she's ranked as an E class villain." answered Ingenium, as he started to do battle with what looked to be a large black gorilla. "And this guy right here is called Eno Rikiya! He was defeated by Captain Celebrity a few years ago when he was around. He would probably rank as a C villain at most, so it shouldn't take long to take them down." he said as he dodged the large fist of the villain before running alongside it and punching the villain in the face.
"Don't underestimate us!" shouted a man that looked like a large Cervidae, antlers and all. He tried to charge at Spider-Girl when she wasn't paying attention. But an oh so convenient buzz-like sense alerted her of it and she jumped out of the way. Causing her to ram into Miss Scythe-blade and knocking her down.
"Let me guess, you're Moose man?" she asked as she started to web him up.
"I'm an Elk! You dumb American!" he shouted as he tried to charge at her again, only to be avoided once again as she kicked him to the ground.
"That was completely uncalled for, mister! What have I ever done to you?" she asked as she webbed him to the floor with enough webbing to keep him from moving any longer. "Well, outside of kicking your butt, that is." she said as she saw Air Jet having disposed of his opponent and going to aid Ingenium. Blasting him in the eyes and blinding him long enough for Ingenium to rush at him and smacking him in the face, yet again. And as he started to stumble backwards, Spider-Girl rushed behind the large ape-powered criminal and webbing both of his feet together. Forcing him to fall backwards and knocking him out cold.
"Here I am telling them that all that muscle was overboard when only one of us was actually needed to knock these guys down." Spider-Girl said. "You know, considering that CC is rather strong and that you said this guy took on him, I expected a little more of a challenge."
"I said that Captain Celebrity took him down, not that it was hard for him." Ingenium told the American.
"But still! These guys weren't that tough! I have met D listers that can even give my dad a hard time every once in a while! Like, I'm sure that Slyde could hold his own better than these bunch. Freaking Slyde! He has the power of anti-adhesive frying pans!"
"Don't say that. You're going to make me feel bad for punching them." Ingenium told her.
"Was this any different than what you did in the States?" asked Air Jet.
"Not that much. Had this happened back in New York, I would have either see it while swinging by, or my dad would have picked it up with his spider tracers."
"Spider tracers?"
"Yeah, it's kind of complicated, but he can use them to tap into police's radios and hear when a crime is being committed."
"That… that doesn't sound legal." said Air Jet.
"Yeaaaaaah… I guess it's not." she said as the police had finally arrived.
After helping them getting them into custody, and making sure that they wouldn't cause trouble in the foreseeable future. The trio of heroes were soon surrounded by a bunch of hero enthusionadoes. Most were gushing about Ingenium, obviously. There were a couple that praised Air Jet as well. But there were more than their fair share of people praising the young arachnid. They were quite amazed that someone that looked so young and was fairly unheard of, was able to easily knock down two villains with near zero effort. They either didn't make the connection to her father, or didn't care at all. The only thing that they saw in front of them was the new sensation of the hero community. Some asked her for her name, some for an autograph, there were even a couple of compliments here and there about her skills and even, dared she said, her looks as well. It definitely helped her ego, she had to admit.
Hopefully her dad doesn't get to hear that part.
After all was over and saying their goodbyes to Air Jet. The duo rushed to the top of a building. Removing their mask and/or helmets and taking some fresh air. Which was probably one of the few perks she liked about not worrying about a secret identity. And as the two watched the city, feeling content about their job.
"Stopped a couple of villains and apparently getting the beginning of a fanbase here in Japan all in one day. Must feel nice, right Spider-Girl?"
"Sure does, Ingy. Sure does." she told him, as she pulled her mask on, once again. "Want to keep doing our patrol?"
"Probably not for now. It's been a very slow day so far and I'm sure that our siblings will probably be out of school in not that long."
"Yeah, you're right about that. I did promise Annie that I would pick her up and I sure as heck would like to not ditch her this time around."
"Said something like that to Tenya. How about we go pick them up?"
"Sure. Want to race there?"
"That is not something appropriate for a traditional hero… of course I am." he said, as he put on his helmet and prepared to race the girl.
On their way to school, the Idaten HQ, they stopped a couple of muggers and carjackers in record time. They were sure that some live streamed their actions or shared them through social media. In just a couple of weeks, or perhaps just a few days, people would start talking about the new sensation Spider-Girl. Some critiqued her wardrobe, inspired by him. Some wondered why his daughter would be in Japan of all places. And most importantly of all. There were those that praised her actions. Telling the world that when she first came to scene in Japan, they were there and they decided to support her.
After changing into their civilian clothes and getting a quick snack, the duo started to walk towards U.A. Which by that time, had already ended. Just then, Annie, Valerie and Hitoshi started walking towards the exit. Robbie said that he would drive back home and that he was going to give Kamala a lift… that is if she could stand hearing Present Mic's loud voice all the way through.
Just then, the trio ended up intercepting another trion on their way. That being the one of Midoriya, Uraraka and Ida.
"Parker-san! How are you doing?" asked Ochako.
"Seriously guys, just call me Annie."
"Are you going to the station, Parker-san?" asked Izuku.
"Call me Annie, please."
"N-No. Annie's sister is going to pick her up and w-we'll be accompanying them home." the blue girl answered as the purple-haired, was being Shinso.
"Oooh, your sister is coming?!"
"Yep. And I think that she might come with that por-hero that she's been working with."
"How exactly does your sister look?" asked Izuku.
"Well, she does have her charms, but I sure am no slouch either!"
"Hopefully, she has better manners than yours." Tenya murmured, making the girl frown.
"And what about you Tenya? Going to the station?"
"Please stop referring to me by my first name! We have yet to reach that level in our relationship!"
"What relationship? You nagging me for no reason!"
"First of all, I'm doing my duty as class president by keeping all students behaved! And secondly, I'll be walking home alongside my brother, who's most likely bringing along the foreigner hero that he has taken under his wing! So please, refrain yourself from making any infuriating comments"
"Let's just pray that your brother is more charming than you. Otherwise, that guy he's with will probably go insane by all the lingering."
"And I wish that your sister takes things more seriously. Otherwise, the pro-hero that she works with probably does not understand the task that is being a hero." said Tenya as both teens frown at one another, with arms crossed. Making three of the other teens feel a little awkward, one annoyed and irritating and the two of them probably look dumb in just about twenty seconds.
Just then, the six all heard the voice of two adults calling for them. One was a man of squared features, arrow-shaped eyebrows and blue hair. The other was a woman probably not that much older than them. She had shoulder length brown hair, blue eyes and to most if not near all who looked at her, would consider her very pretty and quite attractive as well. Their younger siblings turned to them and smiled at them.
"Greeting, big brother!/Hey sis!" the two said, pausing after saying that and looking at each other in confusion.
"Hey Tenya! Looks like you have some friends here don't you?" said Tensei, looking specifically at Izuku and Uraraka. "Hi, I'm Tenya's big brother, Tensei. I just want to say in advance, thanks for looking after my brother. I know he can be too much to handle sometimes.
"Valerie, Hitoshi! It's good to see you kids. I hope my sister hasn't caused much trouble to you today." said Mayday to the other teens.
"U-U-U-U-UAH! I-I-I-It's nice t-t-t-to meet you! I-I-Ingenium-san, sir!" Midoriya said, bowing repeatedly and making the man chuckle.
"Wow, you two sure look alike!" Uraraka stated.
"Yeah, although I ended up getting most of the good looks, don't you agree?" he joked. "And please, you can call me Tensei. Any friend of my little bro is a friend of mine." he told them as he gave them a bright grin that could probably be described as second only to All Might's.
"Don't worry. Nothing we can't handle." Hitoshi told the eldest of the Parker sisters.
"I-It's nice to see you again, M-Mayday."
"Nice to see you too." said the older arachnid, giving them a smile that could warm one's day.
Just then, the two grown-ups turned to the other new faces. To Mayday, those being Izuku and Ochako and to Tensei, the other mysterious kids. "Are you by any chance acquaintances of my brother?" asked Ingenium.
"W-W-W-We're c-c-c-c-c-c-classmates." Valerie said, stuttering more than usual. "I-I-I-I'm V-V-V-V-Valerie V-V-V-Vector."
"A-And I'm Shinso H-Hitoshi. I'm a-actually from the generals course, sir." said Shinso.
He may distaste the students from the hero course that weren't his friend, but that didn't mean he disliked heroes. Much less one like Ingenium.
"Hi, are you classmates of my little sister?" Mayday asked.
"U-U-U-U-Uh, y-y-y-yeah! I-I'm Midoriya Izuku!" he said as he bowed exaggeratedly.
"I'm Uraraka Ochako! Nice meeting you!"
"I'm Mayday Parker. And if the name is not an obvious giveaway, I'm Anna-May's big sister. Pleasure to meet you kids." she told them.
"Umm, hey sis." Annie said, calling her attention. "I thought that… you know. You were going to come with the pro-hero that's been helping you out."
"Brother, I assumed that you would be here with the foreigner hero that was under your care."
The two older siblings looked at their younger siblings weirdly, not understanding them completely.
"What do you mean? She's standing right here/Did you hit your head? He's standing right here?" the two told them, widening their eyes.
"AAAHHH!" the two exclaimed, pointing a finger at their respective siblings, much to their confusion.
"Brother! How can you align yourself with the sister of such reckless individual?!"
"Sis, you treacherous witch! Why are you hanging out with the brother of such a stick in the mud?!"
As the two told them that, a vein grew on the forehead of the older siblings. Signaling that they were most likely in trouble.
"Tenya! That was a very rude thing to say!"
"B-But-"
"No buts! I must say, I am very disappointed in you right now! I expected better from you!" the elder Ida scouled, much to the shame of the younger brother.
Although if one were to ask, he probably got easy compared to Annie.
"So, I'm a treacherous witch, aren't I?" Mayday asked, as she grabbed a hold of her sister's left ear and applied a really, really large amount of force in it. "Didn't mom and dad tell you that insulting people is wrong?!"
"OW! L-Let go! You're embarrassing me, you crazy psycho!" Annie said, which turned out to be a bad choice of words as her sister applied even more force.
"Oh, I'm embarrassing you? Well, you should have thought about that before insulting someone!" she scolded her sister, only for the two older siblings to turn to one another and smile as if nothing happened. All the while Tensei grabbed Tenya's head and Mayday Annie's ear.
"I apologise for my brother's words. He's usually more well-behaved." he said, as he bowed to the two Parkers and forced Tenya to do the same.
"No, no, it's ok. I'm sorry that my sister has such big mouth. She's actually a little more polite than this, believe it or not." she reassured him, still not letting go of Annie's ear and not reducing the amount of force that she was applying.
"Let's just put this behind us. See you tomorrow at the office?"
"Sure! If you want, I can bring the donuts this time around."
"Sounds great!" said Tensie as he and Mayday turned to the other kids. "It was nice knowing you kids. Hopefully we can meet later. Maybe you could join us for dinner."
"Same. If you ever need something, don't be afraid of asking, alright?" said Mayday as the four parted ways, all the while they kept nagging their siblings and Mayday had yet to let go of her sister's ear.
She had a feeling that she was going to be saor for a week.
Meanwhile, the other four kids remained at the school, their jaws wide open. Three of them soon found themselves relieved that they were only children while the last one was actually thankful that she would be the older one as she clamped her ears in fear.
Somewhere in a bar located in Kamino, of Yokahama city, was a bartender. He was dressed very elegantly. He had a tie and some sort of metal brace that was around his neck. Something that would get everyone's attention was the fact that he looked like he was made entirely out of purple dark mist, as well as his bright yellow eyes.
He, was Kurogiri. Bartender and second in command of a group known as the League of Villains.
He was currently attending two newcomers to the organization. Two Americans of all things. The villains Supercharger and… Joey. Just, Joey for now. He had to admit, he was starting to grow a little fond of them. They were surprisingly well behaved and respectful towards him and his establishment. He sure wasn't expecting that, especially since they were from New York of all places. As far as he knew, New Yorkers had a reputation of being loud, obnoxious and very, very rude. However, Joey and Supercharger were… okay, they were a little loud and somewhat obnoxious to a certain degree. But they weren't exactly rude. At least towards him anyway.
Sure, they were all criminals, but even criminals must have manners every now and then.
"Thanks Kurogiri." the woman told him.
"No need to thank me, Joey. I'm only doing my job." the bartender replied.
"Meh, someone has to give you a pat on the back. Especially considering that the others are a bunch of annoying assholed." she told him.
"They certainly could learn a thing or two." Supercharger said and for once, Joey agreed with him.
The language barrier would have no doubt be problematic if not for the fact that Giran knew a certain somebody with a quirk that would get around that issue. It wasn't easy, he could only do it for a limited amount of time, but he owed the criminal a favor so he ended up bending the knee, as one would say.
"How much longer until that guy you told us comes back?" asked the New Yorker.
"A little while, it shouldn't take him that long."
Just then, someone entered the bar. He was a slender man, had black clothes, was somewhat pale with light blue hair, a little on the pale side with red eyes that were hidden behind what looked like a disembodied hand stuck on his face.
Tomura Shigaraki, was his name.
"About time." Joey said, as she took a sip of her drink.
"Young master, how was the trip at U.A?" asked Kurogiri.
"The information worked. We'll be attacking at friday." Shigaraki told the costume criminals.
"Why friday? Why not tomorrow?" asked Joey.
"It will take some time to-"
"I don't need to explain myself to you. You're just a minion." he told the American woman, infuriating her.
"I didn't come here to work for you, dipshit. Only reason I'm here is because Giran promised me Spider-Man's runts." she told him, not giving a damned if he was technically her boss. "Which reminds me. Is she even there?" she asked Kurogiri.
"Somewhat pale compared to her father and sister, green eyes, red hair and a few freckles on her face?" he described to Joey.
"That's her, alright."
"Kurogiri. Don't tell her things unless I tell you to speak. Else, I'll kill you."
"Have some respect, brat. I'm sure that without him, you would be as focused as a headless chicken." Joey told Shigaraki.
"I don't remember asking for your opinion. Talk back to me again and I'll kill you."
"Please, you'll have to do better than that to scare me." Joey said, drinking her beer and irritating Shigaraki even more.
"Im warning you." he said, touching a chair with all five fingers of his left hand and making it decayed before their eyes… which Joey still didn't care
"Please, lightning guy over here was a Master of Evil. And my first boss ever was the Kingpin of crime. If you think that that party trick is going to scare me, then you're full of shit." she said as someone grabbed her by the coat and raised her in front of him.
"Listen, you American! You may think that you are better than us! But truth is you two are just some nobodies compared to us! So either get in line, or we'll beat you to death!" a villain threatened her, yet she was not scared, only livid.
"I'll only say this once. Let go now."
"Or else what?" he dared.
"... Kurogiri, is there a rule about fighting here?" she asked as the bartender sighed.
"No, but I would appreciate it if you didn't." he said as the woman nodded.
"I promise to pay you back whatever I break." she said as her eyes started to glow magenta.
"Stop acting like you own the-" the japanese villain tried to say, but was soon surrounded by a magenta sphere. "What the-" he tried to aske, only for the sphere to rocket to the side of the bar, forcing the others to jump out of the way.
Just as he was about to crash, the sphere disappeared, and as such, he felt the full power of the attack. Laying on the floor, with whatever was left of a pool table around him and badly injured, he could see Joey walk towards the man. As well as Shigaraki rushing to her to finally kill her. Only to stop as an electric blast startled him and forced him to stop. The one to shoot that blast, was none other than the other American.
"This doesn't concern you. Do that again and I'll kill you too."
"You can't be of use to me if you start killing each other." he said.
"Of use? How many times do I have to tell you all. I'm the boss, you're all some replaceable minions!"
"You got things wrong." Joey said. "I only came here for Spider-Man's runts. Everything else is shit to me."
"And I came here to make a statement." said Supercharger, before turning to Joey. "Although, having revenge on Spider-Man does sound tempting."
"I already called dibs on her."
"I have battled against the Avengers and Gambit. But my first defeat against him remains my greatest shame.. But as much as I would like to have my revenge… I have a higher calling. So, I'll just have to entrust you to do it." he said, infuriating Shigaraki even more.
"How many times do I have to say it! I. AM. THE-"
"It's ok." a dark and powerful voice said.
It didn't come from anyone, or at least anyone in the room directly. It came from a TV that Kurogiri had. The screen showed nothing but static, yet the sound was loud and clear.
"Master?"
"I'll allow it. You vendetta against him, that is." said the voice. "Besides, I know just how pesky those arachnids can be." said the voice, making Joey raise an eyebrow.
"Ever met him?"
"A story for another time, perhaps." said the voice. "However, if this spider is anything like him, then you must make sure she can't hinder your plans. Understood?" asked the voice.
"... Yes." Shigaraki said.
"Good." the man replied. "Now then, relax as much as you can for now… because this Friday, you'll get to know how it feels to kill an idea." the voice said, as the TV turned down and the criminals smiled.
And Joey in particular… she didn't care about killing an idea. She just wanted to break a man.
And on Friday… she will.
My Hero Academia: Legacy Bits! - Popularity!
There was a knock at the door of the apartment. Robbie got up from his seat and walked towards the door.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"It's us Robbie." replied a gruff voice that he recognized.
Opening the door, he found himself face to face with the two heroes Kamui Woods and Death Arms. One looked like his suit was made out of wood like the name implied while the other one looked like some sort of construction worker superhero. Kamui was around the same age as Yu, if a little older while Death Arms was older than the two. Ever since her debut, Yu has worked with the two from time to time. As the two have given her a few pointers here and there. They were even the very first people that Yu introduced them to, which surprised the two heroes as never in a million years would have they believed that Yu would become the legal guardian of anyone, much less two foreigners. Still, after getting to know them, they started to warm up to one another.
"Hi guys. Come on in." he told the two. "Yu! Kamui and Death arms are here!" he yelled.
"We're coming!" she said as she and Gabe entered the room.
"Hi!" Gabe exclaimed. He was rather fond of the two heroes.
"Hey there Gabe! Have you grown since we last came? Because you sure look bigger!" Death Arms told the kid.
"Are you ready?"
"Sure do! The computer is right there!" Yu said, as she pointed at her laptop on the table.
The two heroes nodded and walked towards there. Ever since the trio became closer, they started to have this tradition that started when the size-changing heroine started to bother them about their popularity ratio. So, every once in a while, they come together and eat, not before checking their ratios in the Heroes Network of Japan, or HM for short. A website where only pro-heroes were granted access to check activity reports of Pro Heroes across the country, as well as information on known Villains, including their names and quirks. They could also use the Hero Network to send requests for assistance to other heroes who possess a quirk that may be useful for a determined crisis and even check the popularity of one.
"Yes! My ratio increased by three percent!" Yu exclaimed.
"Not bad kid. But Kamui here seems to have you beaten by ten percent."
"Maybe if instead of focusing on where the cameras are and more on her duties, she would have a higher ratio." Kamui said, dropping the bucket of water on top of Yu.
"Hey, could you look for someone there?" Robbie asked.
"Who?"
"Parker's sister."
"Her? Really?" Kamui complained. He has already met her a few times here and there and he found her… not annoying… well, not that annoying.
He admired her dedication to her goals and her sense of duty and responsibility even if she was once a vigilante. But… maybe it was the web swinging that irritated him. He always took pride in his swinging abilities, but seeing her gracefully swing from web-line to web-line. He knew that he wasn't the first to do it. Heck, she technically had more rights than him, since her father was basically the one that created the whole traversing the city via swinging. But that was his thing. Now that there was someone else that did it as well and arguably more elegant than him… it made him feel less special.
"Sure, let me just look her up." Yu said, as she typed her hero name.
After a few seconds of waiting, her profile appeared. Unlike hers or the ones from the other pros, this one had a small text that signaled that she was in probation. It was usually put on the profiles of heroes that had certain downs here and there, but in her case, it was because, while not a pro-hero just yet, was basically going to get it via a different way that most did.
"A two percent increase. Not bad for someone new, much less someone that was not only a vigilante. But is also related to one." Death Arms said, as Yu noted something.
"Wait, what's that thing?" she asked, as she pointed at what looked like some sort of globe.
"That's to see your acceptance ratio in other parts of the globe basically. There aren't that many pros that have it." Death Arms explained.
"And she has it?! She's only been in the country for less than a year! How is that possible?!"
"She was a vigilante back when she was in high school. Maybe it has to do with that." Robbie reminded them, having a feeling that he should probably leave.
"Click on it, let's see what it's all about." Kamui said, too curious to ignore it.
And as they did, the trio was left shocked. Her acceptance ratio across the sea was around eighty percent in the United States. Mainly coming from New York, which shouldn't have been a surprise, but still. They even saw what people were thinking of her via an option that it had and they saw nothing but pure positivity. People were praising her, giving her their support and writing things like 'you can do it!' or 'We believe in you' and of course 'Show them how we do it in the big apple!' One could almost feel the support and loyalty emanating from the comments alone.
"It took me years to even get acknowledged in one part of one country and she's become an icon in just a couple of months?!" the older pro exclaimed.
"Yeah, how's that… wait, did they just mention Ingenium?!" Yu asked as she re-read the comment. "They totally did!"
"Check his profile!" Kamui told her.
She nodded and when she opened it, she saw that he too, had presence in New York via being seen with Spider-Girl.
"... We need to work with her."
"What?!" Kamui asked the female por-hero.
"Think about it. She has a presence in New York and after just a couple of months of being with her, so does Ingenium! Imagine what could happen if we get that as well?"
"I can see that." Death Arms said, taking her idea into consideration.
"Well I refuse. Our presence there should be earned, not obtained through some sort of cheap trick! Besides, I simply refuse to-"
"We can be recognized by the Avengers if we're lucky!" Yu said, as the other two realized what that could mean.
"Robbie!" they all said, turning to where he and Gabe were, only to find that they were no longer there.
"Where did he go?"
"How can you lose your warden in your own house?!"
"This is not the time Kamui! We need him to get us Spider-Girl's phone number!"
"Why don't you have it?! She's the sister of Robbie's friend! You should have that kind of information!"
"Don't you even start!"
And as the trio started to bicker, Robbie and Gabe were already down the streets.
"Where are we going Robbie?"
"We're going to see Valerie."
"I like it when we go see her in her big house!"
"She does too, now let's hurry up before they discover that we're missing." he said as the two went their way.
