Chapter 35: What's in a Hero Name?
Izuku stood in his U.A. uniform, All Might sent him a message when he got back to the dorms.
"We need to talk," Izuku repeated the words. He could only imagine what he wanted to talk about. How did he know his dad? Why was he holder of One For All? So many questions, if it weren't for the fact he had gone and was going on a date with 2 of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen, he would have wrecked his brain.
"Good morning, Midoriya! We must hurry! As the class representative, you should be there before everyone! Enough dilly-dallying!" Iida said, breaking him out of his thoughts. Iida was currently wearing a poncho and opening the door.
"Uh, yeah! Okay!" Izuku said. He wanted to speak with Iida privately to make sure he was okay. He put on his red shoes and rushed out with Iida.
Izuku grabbed his umbrella and walked out with Iida. The two made it to the school
"Iida, I-!"
"If it's about my brother, there is no need to worry." Iida turned back to him with a clearly forced smile. Izuku, however being the class representative, and Iida, being his friend, couldn't just relent.
"Iida, it's clear this tough on you -"
"Please don't," Iida said with a hand halting Izuku. "I'm fine, my brother is alright. I apologize for making you worry needlessly."
"B-But-!" Izuku didn't even get a chance as Iida rushed up the stairs to escape the conversation.
Izuku stood in place with a sad, concerned and worried expression. "Iida..."
"Dekiru?" He heard the voice of Ochako who ran up to him, see saw the interaction and she also grew concerned for him.
"Did you manage to speak with him?" Ochako asked in genuine concern.
Izuku shook his head.
"I tried to speak with him yesterday but..." her head went down, a sad expression on her face. "He wasn't up for a conversation."
Izuku saw her expression. "I'm worried about him too."
"S-Should we keep trying? I know he doesn't want anyone's help right now but... He's obviously hurting."
"He doesn't want anyone's help right now, we can only wait and be ready to support him when he's ready and wants to talk about it."
Ochako looked in concerned. "Is that really the best option? I-I mean I know he might get angry but..."
"If we tried to force it out of him he might just push us away even more." He said dejectedly, Ochako didn't seem to agree with him but nodded reluctantly.
"I'm going to class," Ochako said as she walked to class, still worried for her friend.
"R-Right."Izuku sighed. She walked away, Izuku was about to follow her when he felt he's blazer tugged slightly he turned to see Momo who was blushing. Izuku's face turned crimson upon seeing her.
"O-Oh, Yaoyoruzu, g-good night-- I mean morning! The night was like yesterday, oh--"
"Izuku..."
"Y-Yes,"
"I know we haven't talked about what happened, do mind giving me time to process, I don't want to just suddenly ignore you without explanation after we... uhmm... you know."
"R-Right! N-No problem! I-I think I need to process myself." He said blushing before backing away accidently bumping a student, and sprinting to class.
...
"Some people recognized me on the way here!" Sero pointed at himself with a big grin.
Since there were a couple of days of rest, some who had gone home for a day or went out, had been recognized by people on the street.
"I had a few people come to talk to me" Kirishima jumped from happiness.
"Dude! Me too!" Kaminari smiled.
The class talked cheerfully about their newfound fame, they managed to gather from the festival, sharing with people who recognized them.
Izuku was sitting at his desk looking through his notes, the door slid open as Bakugou entered, and Mina got up and went for Midoriya.
"Ah, Midori!" The pink girl proceeded to sit on his desk, and began to talk to with him in excitement." You got first in the sports festival how many people called you out?"
Izuku seemed to hesitate for a moment before remembering he went with Momo a day ago and how everyone surrounded him." Y-Yeah, me and Yao-- I mean Momo got recognized and were congratulated on the bus, it was kinda nerve-racking having so many people around me."
As the two began talking Bakugou shot a glare towards the greenate, before walking towards his desk and dropping his bag, putting his feet on the desk as he just scowled in place. No one approached Bakugou as everyone could see he was in a bad mood at least those who were in his friend group.
"That's the way the life of pro heroes, being surrounded by fans you need to be more confident in yourself! Trust me you're going to be attracting a lot of attention."
Izuku scratched behind his head, "Though I could do without the fangirls." Izuku muttered under his breath.
Mina gasped. "Midori you already got fangirls!?" Then she remembered the shirtless scene, which made caused her to make a blissful look and some drool on her face before she composed herself, but then she remembered how easily flustered he came to girls.
"Midori, they didn't do anything to you right?"
"I mean one pinched my butt but nothing else."
"Y'know, you're going to get more fangirls especially with you aiming for a symbol of peace, you need to get a resistance towards them, you don't want to lead a fangirl on! You need to learn to set boundaries!" Mina said waving her arms.
"I-I can set boundaries, plus I'll have Momo to save me again," Izuku said to which Momo blushed from her seat.
"Not the point Midori! You don't want one of these girls ravaging you!" Mina said in annoyance.
Then she heard the footsteps of Mr Aizawa approaching, Mina quickly slid off his desk her skirt hiking itself up as she did so flashing Izuku a bit of her light yellow panties before it fell back into place.
Izuku's face turned red, as Mina went back to her seat. The door slid open Aizawa entered.
"Morning." He greeted his class.
"Good morning!"
Aizawa looked around the classroom, he saw everyone in their seats." We're going to have a change of scenery, follow me, you don't have to bring anything." He said everyone looked at each other curiously, they just shrugged before following the homeroom teacher.
Aizawa led them through the hallways as they took a series of turns and went down one level. He led them to a spacious room.
The place was rather large with comfortable seating mats on the floor along a podium on the right side of the podium was a whiteboard. All around the walls were some decorations or paintings that were attached to the walls were some decorations and paintings.
However, what caught the attention was the presence of class B and Vlad King.
"Now you must be curious about this." Vlad King said as he and Aizawa made their way to the podium.
"Today we're having a special hero informatics class today with class B.
"You should be aware that the number of offers you received is highly unusual. First-year students rarely, if ever, get offers in the hundreds." Vlad King said.
"Your year, in contrast, had offers similar to those of third-year students. And like those third-year students, there is a large gap between the finalists and everyone else," Eraserhead then pulled aside the whiteboard to reveal the numbers.
First-Year Students No. Of Offers:
Midoriya: 7054
Todoroki: 5120
Pony: 3750
Bakugou: 2670
Kendo: 870
Momo: 720
Iida: 700
Jirou: 688
Monoma: 546
Kaminari: 450
Shiozaki: 360
Tokoyami: 300
Uraraka: 250
Ashido: 72
Kirishima: 69
"Giggity." Mineta snickered.
Tetsutetsu: 69
"Giggity, Giggity," Kaminari said. Before high-fiving Mineta. Before they were vined slapped by Shiozaki.
Kamakiri: 54
Sero: 15
...
"Gah! That's not fair..." Kaminari groaned, falling back in his chair.
Aoyama was fuming if one can tell from his usual smug smile. "What about the real star? Moi?"
Izuku was speechless, looking at the number of his offers. There were so many. Izuku rubbed his eyes before they bulged out. "I got so many!?"
Mineta is at the back of his seat, fuming in absolute rage. "How many are female pro heroes wanting a piece of you scumbag!?"
" I can't believe it. This is so unfair! Class 1-A has almost 10,000 offers more than class 1-B!" Monoma shouted in his mind before smirking seeing Pony beat out Bakugou.
"I got offers?" Kyouka thought in surprise.
Momo sighed in relief, "It appears that my performance in the first round offset my loss in the second." She turned to Todoroki.
"You're amazing Todoroki, you're just behind Izuku," Momo told her classmate who shrugged in response.
"Most of them are probably just because of my father. Midoriya's the one that deserves the praise he got all those offers on his own merit."
"Wait, Pony got more offers than Bakugou?" Kaminari asked.
"Yeah, I know they both got third place, but c'mon."
Monoma decided to chime in." His violent performance must have deterred pro heroes in more in favour of our Pony."
"True, I rather have an adorable Pony girl instead of an angry promenrion," Mineta added.
Pony face turned a shade of red from the praises." I didn't do much,"
Bakugou looked livid."IF I SCARED PRO, THEY ARE JUST WEAK!!"
However, the top number was astounding to everyone,
Itsuka was pleasantly surprised l, even though she lost her first match.
"Wow, we got offers!" Ochako shouted excitedly as she shook Tenya back and forth.
"So... many offers... "Izuku looked before his brain began to process this and began to plan." Okay, so I have offers, and there are over probably 40 agencies. I have to split them and place them into groups that focusesondifferentspecialtiesandtahnIhavetolookatwhatthey'vedonefromtheirdebuttopersent..." Izuku was muttering up a storm even before he got his list. Everyone looked at him with blank expressions.
Everyone looked as Midoriya began to mutter up a storm.
"Is he always like this?" Vlad King asked. Eraserhead's eye twitched he grabbed an eraser and threw it towards Midoriya's head, who caught it with ease. "Gah! Sorry!"
"Good reflexes now don't interrupt my class, do your muttering thing later."
"For those who haven't received offers, or if your offered internships cannot suit your needs, U.A. has partnered with forty Hero Agencies to provide you with experiences, "Vlad King explained.
"And for that, you're going to need Code names."
The classes exploded into cheers of excitement.
"We're going to do something exciting!" Both classes shouted.
"Makes sense! During hero work, heroes refer to each other by their code names. It wouldn't be a true workplace experience if we didn't partake as well." Shishda said in excitement, adjusting his glasses.
"All right, settle down. Now." Aizawa's sharp voice managed to quell the voices of both classes but not their spirits.
"I'm absolutely terrible at Hero names. I was struggling with my own before Present Mic gave me mine," Eraserhead said.
"Therefore, I'm going to use the opportunity to take the nap I so desperately need."
"Aizawa is actually a prime example of why you need to be careful when choosing a Hero name. Especially for this class, media attention may be on you even now. The name you choose may be the name you're stuck with for your career, "Midnight said.
" When choosing hero names, it's important to think of the image you're trying to represent. A lot of third years have regret for the hero names, don't take it lightly. " Vlad King said.
" Don't make it complicated. As long as it is simple and understandable, it will be enough. You got all that? "
" Yes, sensei! "
" Good! Now take these white boards and sit down. You can start writing out some names to test them out until you finally settle on one. You can talk to your friends by the way so you can second opinion. Now get to work!! "She ordered them.
Izuku walked up and got his whiteboard." This should be easy, I've named all my aliens, "
Izuku thought confidently as he had a name in mind. It wasn't really a hero name, more like a placeholder he didn't think too much of it. Lightly bit into a pen marker as he stared at the whiteboard with a thoughtful gaze.
Momo and Yui sat down right beside him, with Ochako, Itsuka, and Kyouka following behind them. Upon seeing Momo, Izuku averted his eyes from her, his face turning quickly red.
"Huh?" They all asked in confusion as he turned red as Tomato clearly looked away from Momo. They turned to her before she began turning red herself.
"A-Are you guys okay?" Kyouka asked as she could hear their heartbeats began to quicken.
"Y-Yeah, it just uhm... hot and uh... stuffed in here," Izuku said. He suddenly felt Yui pat his head affectionately
"Izuku..."
"I know, I know I'm a terrible liar," Izuku said, deflating. A few minutes passed, and the two managed to compose themselves.
"You alright, Dekiru?" Ochako asked.
"Yeah, I have a name in mind, but I'm not sure it represents everything I can do. " Izuku admitted
"Not surprising you named all your forms, didn't you?" Jirou asked.
"Yeah, plus it's super fun coming up with superhero names for them it just, they have a specific ability, which makes it easier for me to come up with names." He sighed.
"What about you guys?" He asked the girls. Kendo with a smile.
"I'm going with The battle hero:Battle fist!" Kendo said, clenching her fist.
"Really? Pretty simplistic." Izuku said to which Kyouka felt she had to rebut.
"cough... Four Arms... Cough." Kyouka said not so subtly.
"I retract my earlier statement," Izuku said quickly before everyone chuckled.
"Okay, jokes aside, what about you, Yui?" Momo asked the quiet girl who tilted her head as she tapped the whiteboard."I have one, but I'm still not sure."
They began to discuss hero names, chatter echoed throughout as ideas and names were tossed around.
"Alright, kids, you guys can begin presenting your names if you're ready." Midnight said with a grin.
"Wait, were you presenting these?!" Kirishima thought.
"Oh, man, who has the balls to go up first?" Sero thought, looking around to see who would go up first.
"And with Monoma, you know his gonna bash our names." Sato thought.
Aoyama was the first to go up to the stand confidently with his board hidden.
"The Shining Hero:..." Aoyama began before he flipped the board showing everyone.
"I can not stop twinkling!!"
"It's a sentence, not a name!!" Both classes thought with deadpanned expressions.
"It'd be better this way, take away the 'I' and shorten the 'Can not' to 'Can't'"Midnight said while writing on the board.
"Splendid Mademoiselle," Aoyama said, beaming at the new name before he walked back to his seat.
"She approved it!?" The class asked in disbelief before a scoff was heard.
"Class 1-A obviously aren't creative minds as class B and myself..." He began as he went to the podium with his name hidden.
"Hey, we're creative!!" Kaminari shouted out,
"Now, this is a hero's name! The Copy Cat Hero: The Phantom Thief!!" He exclaimed as he showed his name, which admittedly even their class A, which was an awesome name.
"...Dammit! That name is awesome!!" They all shouted in unison.
"Woah! Way to go, Monoma!"
"Pretty cool name, dude!" Setsuna shouted with a toothy grin.
Monoma was cheered by his classmates as Midnight approved the name before he went back to his seat.
"Guys, we can't let class B, specifically Monoma show up!!" Mina shouted as she got from her seat.
"Yeah!!" Class A shouted.
"You know this doesn't have to be competition," Kendo said, but no one paid mind as Mina walked up to the podium.
"Okie dokie, let me go next. My codename: Alien Queen!!" Mina presented her name proudly.
"Wait! Hold on, you mean that horrible monster with acidic blood from those old movies!? Oh no, that's not happening!" Midnight exclaimed as the girl deflated.
"Ah, man, me and Midori were going to be Alien King and Queen," she said under her breath that no one really heard it.
"HeHAHAHA!! YOU MADE THAT SPEECH YET YOUR NAME WAS AS BAD AS THE FIRST ONE--" He was suddenly neck chopped as he dropped to the ground fainting.
"Nope," Itsuka said.
As Mina was slowly walking back, Izuku had a suggestion before she sat down. She made it halfway before Izuku spoke up.
"How about... The P.H. Heroine... Amina Acid?" Izuku said to which the girl widened, as she stared at him, the was a moment. Izuku looked away and began to panic.
"I-I-I mean, the pH levels in acid and Amino acid and w-well Mina your name. It's dumb--"Izuku stuttered, seeing the girl still staring at her before she smiled brightly.
"Midori, I love it!!" She said as she quickly wrote down the name before hugging him tightly. Since he was sitting, his face was squished between her breasts, to Mineta's dismay. "MIDORIYA!!"
"Can we not have a public display of affection?" Aizawa grumbled, remembering the time he almost caught the two during a dancing lesson.
"Don't be a prude. " Midnight said, swooning the two's affection. "I'm personally rooting for Yaoyorozu,"
Everyone was a little confused by the statement but chose to it ignore it,
She quickly wrote it down and ran back to the podium and proudly exclaimed the name." The P.H. Heroine: Amina Acid!!"
"Mhm... Play on words, explain your quirk, APPROVED!" Midnight exclaimed as the girl walked back with a visible smile, and class 1-A cheered.
Next up was Froppy, which, like Mina, got a lot of support to Monoma's dismay."Dammit, 1-A is winning." He grumbled.
"Didn't Kendo knock you out?"
With that aside, others were not the best, to say the least.
"Abyssal King of Darkness." Kuroiro presented, Kinoko thought it was cute a little childish but cute.
"Too edgy, what are you twelve?" Midnight rejected.
"King Explosion Murder!!" Bakugou exclaimed.
Midnight immediately rejected it."No."
Next up was Yui. "Size Queen." She said with a straight face.
Midnight and the class blinked, staring at the name."Are you messing with me? I feel like you're messing with me."
Yui with the same straight face."I don't know, am I?"
"... You got guts, I respect that."
Izuku facepalmed in slight embarrassment, while the others laughed, eventually, the class began giving their own ridiculous names because they wanted to see their teacher's reactions, Aizawa's trying his best to remain the stoic hardened teacher let out a few snickers, Momo being the responsible student like others tried to stop it but eventually gave up.
Vlad was trying to hold his laughter in, Midnight on the other was incredulity by everything while trying her best to hold in her laughter, but began to judge it with a straight face and made comments to improve it.
"The Tape Hero, Bandage Man!"
"The Drill That Will Pierce The Heavens!!"
Midnight was on the verge of breaking into full-blown laughter, and remained strong even though Aizawa was almost to the verge of breaking, but when the stoic and all serious Todoroki went up and presented his name.
"The Frosted Hero, Snowjob."
"God Fucking Dammit..." Midnight said before bursting into laughter.
"Dammit...!" Aizawa said from his sleeping bag before laughing a little.
Some looked at Todoroki in surprise, wiping a few tears from laughing, before looking at Sero and Kaminari and quickly figuring out it was probably their idea.
But after a while things started to die down and the more serious name popped up.
"Jet-Black Hero, Tsukuyomi!"
"Softening Hero, Mudman."
"Hearing Hero, Earphone Jack."
The classes clapped or cheered as they gave their names, Kyouka was a little embarrassed by their praise as she tried to play it off.
"Pretty cool name, though naming it after your quirk is pretty smart."
"Thanks, I've thought about it ever since I was a kid though aren't you going to name yourself after the Omnitrix?"
Izuku tilted his head in confusion."I mean you turn into actual aliens, I-I don't know I just thought you would name it something like that."
"Mhm..." Izuku thought about it as a name soon came to mind he smiled.
Everyone got their turn going on the podium, giving their names.
"Choosing Hero names is going more smoothly than expected, all that's left is Bakugou, who desperately needs to rethink his, and Iida, oh and Midoriya right." Midnight pointed out that only three students were left.
Izuku wrote down his hero's name Yui tried to take a peek, but Izuku hid his name from her. She even gave him the puppy dog eyes which was very effective, but he remained strong and quickly went for an escape.
"Midnight-sensei, I'm ready!" Izuku called out.
"Alright then, c'mon up here and show us you're Codename." Midnight said, as Izuku rushed over as Yui pouted not being the first one to see his hero name.
"This just has to be it, my hero name!" Izuku thought. As he showed his hero name proudly, Ochako's face turned red,
"Dekiru 10: The Alien Force!!" Izuku exclaimed proudly.
In his seat Bakugou just scowled he even had to admit to himself useless didn't suit him anymore if he was useless what the hell did that make him?
Uraraka was absolutely beaming at the name Izuku had chosen as he turned to her and gave them a smile which only made her heart beat skyrocket."Don't smile like that you dork you're gonna get me all flustered!" She thought as she began cooling her rapidly warming face.
The girls felt a weird twinge, but also felt somewhat happy he took the name Uraraka with pride, turning his previous name which was the source of mockery into one of pride. Though they still felt a twinge.
Midnight smirked at the name, "Clearly a name of personal value to you. Go for it!"
Izuku bowed and sat back down, Bakugou shot back up to the front and exclaimed his hero's name. "LORD EXPLOSION MURDER!!!"
"Still no."
Midnight sighed pinching the bridge of her nose."Aizawa, Kan,"
The two alerted turned to her.
"You know what we talk about." She said ominously as the chatter in the background continued as Kirishima gave Bakugou a suggestion who screamed in annoyance.
"I know you don't like it but has to be done." She said specifically to Aizawa who grunted, he got up out of his sleeping bag and addressed both classes.
"Alright, everyone! Listen up, today this evening we have something to discuss with all of you, this is mandatory, will meet up here at 19: 00 well almost all of you..." Everyone gasped and began to discuss what this important matter could be.
Aizawa turned to Midoriya."Midoriya you will head to All Might and Nezu at the designated time, "
As they were about to ask questions Vlad King cut them off.
"No, questions all will be answered in due time."
Everyone was confused and wanted to know what was so important they needed to talk about.
"Now that everyone has decided on their Hero names, we'll go back to talking about their internships." Aizawa moved on without providing any information on their upcoming meeting.
"They will last for a week. As for where you'll have them, those who had offers from Pros will be given your own lists, so you can choose from those yourself." Vlad King explained.
Those who didn't receive any offers will choose from forty agencies around their country accepting interns. They all work in different places and have different specialties. Keep that in mind." Aizawa continued.
"For example, Thirteen would be focused on rescues from accidents and disasters more than fighting Villains." Midnight clarified for the students to understand better. They had to choose an agency that would show them more about the specialty they want to work in when they become Pros.
"Think carefully before you choose." Vlad added."You don't want to end up making a mistake, a lot of second and third years regret their decision in past years."
"Yes, sir!" The students replied before the bell rang, signalling the end of the class.
"Turn in your choices before the weekend," Aizawa said before picking up his sleeping bag.
"We've only got two days?!" Sero asked in worry before groaning.
"Yes, and if I were I'd probably make my decision quickly," Aizawa said as he left with his precious sleeping bag it was for another nap.
...
"There are 5600 Heroes who will take me, I'll look up their specialties, break them down from special skills to how much of an impact and how well popular they are, oh I should also break them apart from agencies that focus on..." Izuku began to mutter as he tried to figure out who he'd be going,
"It's practically an art." Ochako, Ojiro, Mina and Mineta all said unison, to which Yui said.
"Finally someone gets it."
She walked up to Izuku and looked over his list pulling the boy out of his muttering.
"Y-Yui--"
"Since you probably want somewhere with more experience from these agencies, and probably their lower ranks probably just want notoriety in saying they 'trained' a U.A. student and the winner of the sports festival, so it's best to weed out their lower ranks and find some that are actually useful," Yui said bluntly.
"That's a bit ruthless don't you think?" Izuku asked to which Momo replied.
"I'd say she has a pretty good idea."
"See? When the smartest girl says it's a good idea y'know I'm right." Yui said to which Momo's cheeks turned a shade of red.
"That aside, interning a U.A student, especially for lower ranks will bolster their reputation, some may not be able to train you, especially with a wide range of abilities you probably won't find a pro who can assist with the versatility of your quirk," Momo admitted more to herself as she began looking at her list more skeptically.
Izuku nodded."I can only think of one person who could possibly train me with using multiple quirks is someone who's training a manchild to kill me and wants to my quirk and he'll do anything to get it." Izuku thought.
Izuku nodded."Thanks, Yui, mind helping me? I mean when you're free, getting through this is gonna be a herculean task."
"Sure, it would be my pleasure."
Kyouka walked up to the group."What about you Yaomomo, have you decided on a hero?"
"Well Uwabami did send me an offer to me and I'm tempted to join her," Momo remarked.
Itsuka perked up. "Really? I got her too! Maybe we should go together?" Momo shrugged.
"It could be fine, I'll at least have someone I know."
To which Mineta had a perverted look before looking at his classmates, he knew what would happen if they went to Uwbami he wanted to be quiet so he could see them modelling. He sighed.
"Is that really a good idea?"Mineta asked to everyone's confusion.
"Mineta, what do you mean?"Shoji asked, Itsuka and Momo alongside everyone turned to him.
He sighed he wanted to see Momo and Itsuka modelling but, they were close to Izuku and he wouldn't want them to waste their time, "Ugh, am I really about to do something that isn't pervert?"
"I follow Uwbami for the past... well for a while and usually when she gets an intern, she usually has them do makeup and modelling and to advertise her products, usually cute girls like yourselves."A lecherous look soon came across his face.
"I remember 2 years ago a blue-haired girl goddess! modeled God she was so hot!!"
Everyone was stunned, even Izuku had to rub his eyes in disbelief."D-Did Mineta just... save them from doing modelling?"
"Y-Yeah," Kyouka said blinking in surprise.
"O-Oh, okay... So I didn't imagine it."
"Wow, Mineta... that's...actually helpful," Itsuka said she was thinking of going to Uwbami but now...
"I'm surprised he actually told us, I thought you would keep that kind of thing to yourself and perv on us and whatever you do I'm in your room by yourself" Momo said to which the guys and some girls looked at each other.
"I'm gonna tell her," Sero said
"Don't you dare!" Mina and Setsuna scolded.
However, hearing the news of Uwbami someone brightened up as she looked at her name and beamed. "Shroom!"
Eventually, Lunchtime rolled around and everyone was still trying to decide which agencies they would go to. Midoriya groaned from exhaustion from the pile he had to go through as they were in the classroom.
"So you guys have you decided on what Pro hero agency?" Mina asked while chewing a pen.
"I'm going to Forth Kind agency with Tetsutetsu, here I come!! Here's a real man!!" Kirishima shouted with a grin.
"I'm going to Sulkie," Tsuyu said with a finger to her chin.
"I've still not decided," Momo admitted looking through her list, and a puzzled look. Izuku whose face on the table perked up and kindly suggested.
"Why not go to Fatgum?" Izuku said as he clicked his pen face on the table as There were two piles one of the heroes he was considering as they were in the top 60 and some Kodai picked out, and the other which was admittedly a large pile.
Momo looked and saw she had gotten Fatgum to her surprise she found it."Since your quirk both revolves around eating like a ton of food and turning it into power."
Momo blushed in embarrassment from the 'Ton of food' comment.
"Huh? Lucky you will gouging in delicious food Momo!!" Mina exclaimed.
"No, I don't I want my goddess returning and being some obese woman!!" Mineta shouted in dismay as Tsuyu thoroughly smacked him with her tongue, Izuku stood up and gave him a neck chop knocking him out.
Momo feeling somewhat self-conscious looked at the paper.
"Hey, don't mind what Mineta said, the benefits outweigh the risks, and the risk is just you gaining a little weight in my book that doesn't matter," Kyouka said to which Momo still looked conflicted, before Mina whispered.
"It was Midori's idea, you know he only wants the best for you, I'm sure he wouldn't care, he'd still think you're beautiful" Mina whispered as she blushed. Before sighing.
"Can't let that little creep get to me anyway." Momo sighed as she flicked her hair.
"Well, Momo has decided despite Mineta's efforts. Anyone else has decided?" Tsuyu commented.
"Actually, I've decided!" Ochako pointed out excitedly.
"Really?" Mina asked
"Where?" Ojiro added.
"Battle Hero: Gunhead's agency," Ochako replied.
"Yup! I got an offer from them!!" Ochako said while pumping her fist in the air.
"Really? I totally thought you were trying to be a hero like Thirteen." Izuku commented, shocked by her decision, from the time he knew her, she wanted to be a rescue hero.
"Yes, that's the plan, but after fighting Bakugou at the sports Festival, I realized I needed to become stronger, and Gunhead's martial arts style suits my quirk! The more I know the more possibilities I'll have. If I did what I wanted I'll have a narrow perspective!"
Izuku smiled before the girl scratched her cheek in somewhat worry.
"Though they seem to be a bit of a problem, but it's not much just a little scary thought," Ochako said while shaking a bit.
"Huh?"
"W-Well, ahem after a mutant bird crashed into his agency..." Ochako said as everyone turned to Izuku, who slumped in embarrassment.
"...He's agency was relocated to Hosu," Ochako said to which everyone's shock.
"Where the Hero Killer... y'know.." Kaminari said as he gestured with his thumb at slitting throats.
"Yeah, but that was in a small section of Hosu, I think the downside is I'm sure you won't run into him," Izuku reassured.
"As for you Izuku I think it's best you avoid Hosu city," Yui said.
"Trouble follows you like a magnet, last thing we need is you fighting a serial killer." She explained to which Izuku thought about it and even had to agree.
"Okay, so definitely staying away from Hosu," Izuku said looking through his list.
"So, are you guys still thinking of yours?" Itsuka asked.
"I'm still deciding."
"I think I've made my decision. Shroom." Kinoko said.
"Bleh, we still have plenty of time to think about this," Setsuna said grinning.
"Tsuyu and I are going to do some research with Pony here since she still has some problems with reading her choices."
Pony with a confused looking at her massive list with an adorable confused look as everyone could practically see the question marks above her head.
"How can someone so confused look so freaking adorable," Kaminari asked to no one in particular as Pony turned to everyone and tilted her head in confusion, which only made everyone coo.
Tsuyu walked up to her. "Will help you out Pony."
"Thanks, being from America I barely know any of the heroes here." Pony said with a sigh.
"Of course, it's the least we could do," Tsuyu said.
"If you need some help with that you can ask me, I have a few notes on most heroes." Izuku offered.
"We might take you up on that offer," Setsuna answered.
"I'm going to Mt. Lady," Mineta said waking up from his unconsciousness to which Izuku and Tsuyu quickly figured out why.
"Mineta, you're not thinking of doing something perverted are you?" Tsuyu asked.
"Maybe," Mineta said, to which Izuku groaned, he would reluctantly would admit he and Mineta were friends. So knowing he's going to pro a hero for a perverted reason irked him. Not because he was being a pervert mostly he didn't want his friend to waste this opportunity to fulfill a lustful fantasy.
"Mineta, do you really think it's a good idea? I mean don't you think you should go to someone else?"
"Oh, does Midoriya want Mt.Lady to himself? Sorry dude you already have Yaoyorozu and Ashido, I'm having Mt. Lady."
Izuku was confused when he mentioned Ashido, "Mina? what is he talking about? I mean Momo I kinda get where he's coming from we did..."His face turned red.
"Not the point, it's a one-time life opportunity do you really want to waste it a Mt. Lady?"
"Oh, c'mon don't tell me you haven't fantasized about one pro heck if it was one of the girls in our class wouldn't you take this opportunity?!" He said with a drooling mouth.
"Of course not!"
"What so you're telling me you haven't once fantasized about the girls in our class? You haven't once thought how hot would be to grab--"Midoriya knew where the boy was going and covered his mouth.
The girls who were listening were a little curious, they knew Midoriya wasn't a perv that was obvious but they weren't too sure if they found them attractive,
"Mineta, no of course not I would never think about doing such pervetic action with my classmates."
Comedic arrows were shot through the girls.
"Unlike you Midoriya I will not let this opportunity go to waste! I will fulfil my dreams! By the end of this Minoru Mineta will achieve his wet dream with Mt. Lady!!" He shouted to the heavens. The sheer conviction in his tone would have inspired some but unfortunately, the words were so vile.
"I..."Izuku pinched the bridge of his nose."...I tried."
Izuku stood up."Good luck Mineta...You're going to need it. I'm gonna get lunch I have a weird craving for chilli fries."
"Hey, if the Lil perv wants to waste it at Mt. Lady let him," Kyouka said as they walked back to get some food.
"I know but I'm the class rep, I need to watch out for my classmates and even reluctantly he's my friend I can't just let him waste his opportunity," Izuku said, Kyouka put a hand on his shoulder.
"Y'know that's one of your most admirable qualities is that you want to help people even people like Mineta, but I think it's best you let the Lil perv do his thing, we all know nothing is going to happen maybe this will be the wake-up call he needs," Kyouka said to which the greenate smiled
"Thanks, Jirou," Izuku said giving her a warm smile.
"No problem, now you promised me you would help me find someone good to intern with, and I'll help you find someone in return," Kyouka said as they walked to get some lunch. While walking they looked through his list and Jirou found an interesting one.
"Endeavor." Izuku upon seeing the hero widened stopped and looked at the offer.
"No," Izuku said before putting away the offer, Izuku would admit learning from the number 2 hero would be beneficial but knowing what he has done, it shook his worldview of heroes. And honestly, he was still processing it.
"Endeavor is an amazing person, No--He's an amazing hero, his power is incredible. He even has more arrests than All Might, and well, to be fair, All Might has been weakening But... knowing what he did and what kind of person he is, I-I-Im not sure I want to learn from someone like that. I know heroes aren't all just and that, but... I don't think... No, I don't want to learn from someone like him, "Izuku thought, putting away the number 2 heroes offer away.
"I know it's probably stupid to reject the number two hero but every time I look at him I'm just going to think what he's done," Izuku said to Kyouka who nodded.
"I get it, you admire heroes so knowing some heroes are scum must really be a shocker to you," Kyouka said.
"Y-Yeah, though I'm sure he'll probably burn me alive when he realizes I rejected him, I'll be a burned unrecognizable corpse."
"Oh, don't be overdramatic... " Kyouka teased to which he chuckled.
"...You have Heatblast he can't burn alive," Kyouka said as Izuku thought about it before quickly thanking the Omnitrix.
"Thank you, Omnitrix."
"Plus after your fight with Monoma, I'm sure he got super interested in you."
"Y-Yeah, oh by the way, have you decided?" Izuku asked to which Kyouka flinched before showing her pick.
"Woah?! EDGESHOT?!" Izuku exclaimed in surprise.
"I know guess my loss against Todoroki got people's attention."
"I'm surprised don't most top pro heroes watch their second and third years?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, but when a trail of emerald flames blasts through their all three stadiums, the dragon explodes in the air people gonna have questions, I suspect that's why so many pro heroes sent us an offer."
"Mhm, so nearly destroying three stadiums was a good thing!"
Kyouka poked his midsection where she suspected he was ticklish and was corrected as she flinched back."Ah!"
"You still nearly blasted half the stadium!" Kyouka exclaimed.
"R-Right sorry," Izuku said.
...
Izuku stood at the principal's office he didn't why but he felt his stomach drop, and he was shaking a little he did why and he knew after today things wouldn't be the same. He touched the knob and turned before entering.
"Ah, Young Midoriya. You are here." Toshinori said as he was on the couch Nezu on his desk he had a cheerful attitude that he knew wasn't presented.
"It's time you learn the truth Midoriya, keeping you in the dark will only hinder your progress," Nezu said as he sat down and gulped.
"Keeping me in the dark?" Izuku asked in worry.
...
Class 1-A and 1-B sat in the same room they were in early in the day when discussing Hero names. Both classes were discussing on what the teachers could want to speak to them.
"What could the teachers want to discuss at this late hour?" Momo asked in worry.
"It could possibly be our internships maybe they have some sort of surprise," Iida suggested.
"Or maybe they kicking someone at the Sports Festival," Kaminari said mindlessly as everyone looked at him in panic.
"H-Hey, y'know what the Shinso guy said maybe we didn't make a good showing at the Sports Festival now they may be kicking one of us to the curb," Kaminari said as everyone began to panic in worry.
"Oh, no, Shinso got pretty far in the Sports Festival maybe kicking one of us out in turn for him?" Mineta began to panic he didn't go far and maybe his perverted antics were finally catching up to him.
"SHUT IT!! IF THEY WERE KICKING ONE OF US OUT THEY WOULDN'T DO IT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE YOU DUMBASSES!!" Bakugou shouted in anger.
Everyone began to see Bakugou's logic and sighed a little.
Aizawa, Thirteen, Present Mic, and Midnight stepped inside, both classes got quiet as they stood on the podium.
"Alright now everyone's here we can begin." Thirteen said as Aizawa nodded.
"Listen up, what we are about to tell does not leave this room. Do not go spreading this over social media, keep everything among yourselves is that understood?"
"Yes sir!!" They all said in unison.
"Now, what we're about to say may sound... insane, I know our superhuman the impossible may be just another day, but everything we're gonna say it's the absolute truth." Thirteen said.
"Nearly everyone U.A. are part of an organisation," Midnight said to everyone's interest.
"We call ourselves 'The Plumbers' officially we don't exist. we were the guys who fixed the problems no one else could. Extraterrestrial, extrasensory, extraordinary."
"Huh? You're supposed to make us believe you guys fight aliens what a load bulletshit!" Bakugou shouted.
"It does sound a little crazy."
"Oh? And you all believe Midoriya's quirk is something normal?"
The class fell silent. They knew the classmate was powerful and his quirk broke well all logic, it didn't function how a quirk should. It was far more powerful and his forms had no backlash they almost seemed...
"What does this have to do with Deku's quirk?" Bakugou asked with a glare.
"Keep an open mind all the proof will be given in due time."
...
Izuku turned to principal Nezu."And you knew about the Omnitrix? This whole time?"
"No, the Omnitrix was only rumoured, you couldn't imagine my surprise when it turned up on your wrist." All Might said however Nezu seem to drink a sip of tea.
"Okay, why are you telling me this now?"
"One word Vilgax."
Izuku eyes widened as he felt a sudden chill crawl up his spine,
"Who is he?"
"Vilgax is the most dangerous being to ever plague this universe, a relentless monster, far worse than All For One, his name spreads fear and terror throughout the galaxy," Toshinori said his blue staring into Izuku's green ones.
...
"Okay, this guy sounds like a bad guy we get it, so now you want us to fight this--"
"No." The teachers immediately said.
"We're telling this to avoid confusion in the future, I know you all have had questions about the cyborg villain who tried to kill Midoriya in the USJ." Thirteen said as everyone nodded.
"We're telling you this to stay out of the way," Aizawa said bluntly. As everyone was taken aback did they think they were that weak?
"We can handle it, I know we aren't as experienced as Midoriya." Todoroki began but Aizawa cut him.
"No," Aizawa said he's tone sending shivers from the seriousness was staring at them with a serious expression.
"We all know you're strong but..." Midnight sighed.
"Vilgax isn't some thug or some run-in-the-mill villain, this is a being whose conquered worlds, defeated beings your mind couldn't comprehend."
"If he's so powerful? All Might will just beat his ass! Like he always does!!" Bakugou shouted.
"Yeah, All Might is the best hero, some alien could never beat them," Ochako said with a fist pump.
As they all nodded in agreement believing in the number one hero.
"Oh, and you think our world with is an All Might?" Aizawa said.
The class got quiet, even Bakugou was silent.
"You think other worlds don't have a being they see as an unstoppable God? Their presence so overwhelming that will make sure everything was okay?"
The class shook in fear from their teacher's serious tone, from the look in his eye he wasn't this wasn't a prank or logical ruse he was dead serious and that was the frightening part.
"Do you know how many Symbol of Peace, how many heroes like All Might have fallen to him, it probably sounds impossible, you can't even imagine it can you? Answer countless, he's hands are soaked in the blood of heroes greater than All Might."
The classes gulped from the serious expression from their teachers, this wasn't a prank, he was serious. Even Bakugou realized the seriousness of the situation and gulped as a beat of sweat formed.
" He's beaten beings like All Might, trampled on the lives of millions, and an army of heroes couldn't stop his rampage through the galaxy." Thirteen said shaking.
"He has no compassion, his power is comparable no even greater than All Might, and he has only one goal the complete subjugation of the entire universe."
"T-The universe but it's endless...?"
"H-He can't possibly..."
"I know it sounds ludicrous, the talkings of a mad man but..." Aizawa cupped his chin as he looked down as the memories of Vilgax flooded his mind.
"...When you face to face with the madman himself, he's goal almost sounds plausible."
"So.. why are you telling us this? It must have something to do with Midoriya's quirk, is that why All Might has been training him?"
The class gasped.
"How observant... All Might is the most powerful person we have on hand, and he has been preparing Midoriya to take on Vilgax."
The class gasped in horror, shock and worry, the girls looked absolutely terrified someone so powerful that had killed beings as powerful as All Might was supposed to fight Dekiru. And the outrage was exclaimed.
"Wait you guys can't exactly expect Midoriya to fight this guy by himself do you?!"
"Yes, allow us, give us the train as well and will help him fight him!" Shoto exclaimed.
"You can't place that burden on him! He is still a student!" Iida exclaimed.
Momo stood up alongside Kendo."Yeah, we can help out too! We can fight too"
"If this guy is the real deal then we have to help out as many heroes as possible!" Momo said
"Yeah, we won't let him conquer our world!!" Itsuka shouted
However, Kyouka, Toru and Kaminari quickly realized why they sending him.
"You're not sending Midoriya because...You think he can do it, or some other reason... You're sending him because he has no choice." Kyouka summed up as everyone looked in worry.
The teachers looked uncomfortable. As everyone looked confused.
"V-Vilgax is coming not to conquer Earth his... coming for Midoriya." Kaminari finished off. Shook in his seat, realizing the situation.
"Huh? Why on Earth--?!" Everyone quickly realized the overwhelming power as they came to one conclusion.
"He's watch."
"Huh? Why would he be after he's support item?" Todoroki asked.
"The Omnitrix isn't a support item, it is the most powerful device in the universe, being able to change the user from alien to alien, attached to the DNA of the user it can't be removed, thought to be a myth well... until Midoriya showed up with it." Midnight said.
"So, the forms Midoriya transforms into... anyone can transform into those forms if they had his support item?" Tsubraba asked.
"No wonder I can't copy his quirk! It's not a quirk!"
"Well, the transformations aren't but the strength that's all him," Hagakure said.
"Okay, so why sent the Omnitrix to Midoriya?" Awase asked. Which everyone thought about it and it didn't make sense to send it to him.
"Don't get me wrong Midoriya is an awesome guy but sending the most powerful device to some random teenager in Japan sounds..."
Momo nodded."Yes, it sounds irresponsible, putting such a burden on someone..." Momo felt her heartache from the sheer idea.
The teachers sighed."The Omnitrix wasn't intended for Midoriya... Or more specifically Izuku."
Midnight smiled a blush on her face."It was intended for the Greatest Plumber in the Milk Way Galaxy."
...
"It was intended for you Father," Toshinori said a fond memory, as a screen in the background lit up,
Footage of a masked man wearing a plumber suit he carried a blaster, he roared as emerald flames soared through the air.
"He was the greatest Plumber in this universe the only man to stand against Vilgax, well not in power of course but used his wit, the biggest pain in the ass to Vilgax," Toshinori said with a chuckle as the memory replayed in his mind.
...
"No Toshi it's your dream, y-you will be quirkless again!" Hisashi said with tears forming in his he's eyes his bloody face pleading, for the man to take away his hand, he can't take away his dream.
All Might chuckled as tears formed in his eyes, "Please Hisashi win this!" He grabbed his hand, and Hisashi felt One For All course through his veins, Hisashi desperately tried to reject their power as the power coursed through his veins, and he could feel his quirk getting stronger.
"I won't let your sacrifice be in vain old friend." He said as he cried in his hands before standing back up.
Vilgax was heading back and had gotten what he needed when he felt the rushing flames he turned around to his horror a dragon an emerald dragon the size of a building no less raged towards him, Vilgax widened as it blasted him tearing through the ship he was about to enter cutting through to the other side.
Vilgax panted, his body scorched beyond belief to his horror his right arm was blasted clean off, he looked and what he saw for the first time had chills run down his spine. As Hisashi Midoriya, his emerald eyes looking at him with murderous intent, a blaster in hand.
"Oh, you're alive good." The canon was an electric blue and grey metallic gun, with a single barrel and power source below, it consisted of a blue glass canister. as well as some handles and other components.
He blasted the warlord who widened in horror as the blast tore through his skin and right through, he could feel he was weakening as a massive crater was created with him in the centre.
Hisashi like a relentless demon raged on, he opened his mouth as another torrent of flames larger than could set an entire forest ablaze and into ash, Vilgax was blasted with a relentless of flames and the canon.
Hisashi was about to finish the mad tyrant once and for all when he felt his entire body stop moving, he looked in horror to see Psyphon Vilgax's right-hand man using his telekinesis to hold him.
"Go, master! I'll hold this insignificant being back!!" Hisashi without question opened his mouth and blasted Psyphon, he screamed in pain, as the alien was being burned alive, and his screams echoed throughout, Hisashi felt his hold on him weaken before Psyphon was a completely burned ash, nothing was left as he walked over his corpse stepping on it crumbling it into ash.
He looked around and saw no sign of the mad warlord."No... NO!!!"He roared out with another fire breathing in agony
he fell to the ground, his body sparked a red vein that appeared before the quirk returned to All Might.
...,
Izuku smiled warmly."Can't believe dad, was a hero, so all this time that I've been going hero I've been following in his footsteps."
Izuku then came to a realization that made him really sad."So... The Omnitrix was intended for Dad, and since I'm the only whose alive and has his DNA it attached to me... I-I got the watch by mistake." His voice cracked a bit as he looked down. He knew he wasn't chosen by someone he was just the son of a great man.
Izuku looked down he had to stop the twinge of pain, and swallowed the lump in his throat."It's hard to believe the greatest hero in the universe died in a car accident,"
Nezu stopped drinking his tea, All Might clasped his hands as he gritted his teeth.
"I mean you guys make it sound like Dad, was the greatest, I--"
"Hisashi Midoriya's last mission on 15 July, he was ordered to protect a DNA weapon..."
"T-That's my birthday--" Izuku widened in realization as he fell silent.
"Vilgax ambushed his ship, with his armada prepared to take the weapon for himself, the battle raged on Hisashi Midoriya on a single vessel that stood no chance against the fleet of ships. H-He... Killed Hisashi Midoriya."
Izuku looking catatonic eyes widened, he remembered the countless nights, his mother cried herself to sleep missing her husband, how hard she worked even harder to support Izuku even though she was still grieving. He chalked it up to cruel fate, people died all the time but being told someone was responsible for the pain he and his mother had gone through. He only responded with a...
"...What?"
...
"YOU BASTARDS!! YOU LIED TO THEM!" Bakugou exclaimed as he stood up explosions crackling around them.
"Bakugou calm down--" Kirishima tried to calm him down
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE GODDAME COURTESY TO SAY THE MAN WENT LIKE A HERO INSTEAD YOU LIED TO THEIR FACES AND TURNED THEIR BACKS ON THEM! AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING DEKU TO LIE TO HIS OWN MOTHER YOU MOTHERFUCKERS! "
Iida himself said mindlessly."Midoriya must be feeling an unspeakable amount of rage, and pain," Iida said to which it got everyone concerned.
Uraraka herself looked down in sadness." Dekiru must be so sad right now." Tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
"Regardless, right now we told you this for a couple of reasons, it seems the Omnitrix has given all of you some alien abilities, activation of these abilities is still unknown."
"So what happens if Midoriya fails? What happens if this Vilgax beats Midoriya and gets the Omnitrix?" Monoma asked as the room got more tense.
As Aizawa looked at the students and was blunt with his next words.
"He will kill Midoriya," Aizawa said as the image of Izuku was blood and beaten as the shadowy Vilgax held the severed hand of the Omnitrix, as his fist cocked back and all was red. The girls shivered in absolute fear.
"And I suspect the same thing he did to Petropia..." Midnight said.
"Petropia?"
"Diamond's home planet... or was." Thirteen said as everyone widened, Diamondhead the indestructible behemoth, that almost no one could break.
"W-Was..?"
"It's now rubble floating space, no life to speak of." Thirteen said.
"He killed an entire race, an entire planet of people women, men and children? Why?" Momo asked
The teachers looked at each other before Aizawa answered.
"They refuse to bow to him." That made everyone widen, how can someone be so evil, it sounds so terrifying. Ashido shook in fear as Hagakure held hands, even Bakugou sweat from his forehead.
"So he made an example of them, for the entire galaxy, bow before me or be destroyed." Everyone quickly picked up on the stakes very quickly.
"So if Izuku doesn't win..." Uraraka said using his first name, shaking herself.
"This whole world will follow Pretopia's example and be nothing but crumbles of a dead world,"
Izuku widened as he felt a massive weight on his shoulders, the fate of this world rested on his shoulder, no... the entire galaxy, the universe was on his shoulders, a beat of sweat, as he shook in his seat.

Any feedback would be appreciated, whether it's complimenting the story, pointing out something wrong, or just giving out a suggestion. Tell me where I can improve for future date chapters thank you!
There we go the truth is out!! Let me know if I hyped up Vilgax enough, I might rework this to be better.
AN: Okay I know you may feel the secret was revealed to early for future chapters I have my reasons why it had to be revealed now.
