Chapter 8
The class sat, waiting for homeroom to start, chatting about the results from yesterday's trial of battle. It seemed most of the class had decided to participate in the conversation. One of ones who stayed quite was surprisingly Bakugo. Had their been middle school the explosive blond would be almost screaming about how awesome he was and how no one was worth his time.
"Man, Uraraka and Midoriya made an epic team it was like they knew exactly what to do without having to say anything." The blond with the electricity quirk, Kaminari if he's remembering correctly, sighed.
"Are you two dating ribbit?" The girl with the frog quirk, Asui, asked.
In response Ochako burst out laughing. "No, we met during the exams and decided to keep in contact." He ended up explaining.
"But you use each other's first names." This time the girl with purple hair and headphone jacks on her earlobes pointed out. Izuku thinks her name was Jiro, but he wasn't sure.
"Well it's what I ask my spirits to call me so I thought why not. Ochako then thought it was only fair I used her first name. Besides, I'm not really interested in dating." He added.
The really short boy with purple balls for hair, he didn't catch his name the day before, began to protest saying something about all guys should be into dating and all that. For the most part the purple guy was ignored.
"You mean you're asexual or something? Pretty manly admitting that." Kirishima, a red head with pointy teeth complemented.
"Thanks I guess? I don't know if I am or not, I just don't really think about it." This caused another outburst from the purple boy but a glare from the entering Eraserhead silenced it.
"Today we're going to do something important." Eraserhead began, skipping right over any greetings. "We need to pick a class representative. I don't care how you do it so long as I get a decision by the of today."
It was then almost everyone began declaring that they should be the class representative. "We should settle this democratically. A vote should surffice." Iida spoke up, drowning out everyone else who has been speaking. However Iida was raising his hand as high as possible, practicality begging to be picked for the position.
"But it's only the second day of school, we barely know each other. We'd probably all vote for ourselves." The guy with the tape quirk pointed out now that no one else was speaking.
"Even more of a reason to vote. It would mean that whomever received the most votes would be the most qualified to be the class representative." Iida replied, this time getting murmurs of agreement in response.
In the end Izuku has ended up with three votes and a girl named Yaoyorozu ended up with two meaning that they would be the class representative and deputy respectively. He hadn't thought that he would actually become the representative and had debated voting for either Iida or Yaoyorozu but had ended up voting for the later since he had been impressed by her analysis skills. "Looking forward to working with you." He said, extending his arm for a handshake.
"The pleasure is mine." She replied taking his hand in a steady grip and a smile. "Perhaps we can talk during lunch and get to know each other more. It could be beneficial to us working together."
"Sounds good to me. I hope you don't mind sitting with Ochako, I already promised we'd sit together. I think Iida is joining us too." Izuku mentioned, mostly thinking allowed.
"It is no problem at all."
"If you're all done with the, it's time to move onto what we're doing next." Eraserhead began as they went to their respective seats, ready to get to learning.
It didn't feel all that long before lunch rolled around and he waited for Yaoyorozu and Ochako in the class room so they could head out together. As he expected, Iida has joined them and together the four headed to the cafeteria. After retrieving their chosen meals from Lunch Rush they sat at an empty table and began to eat.
"Hey Iida I was wondering, who do you vote for? It looked like you wanted to be class pres but didn't get any votes." Ochako inquired, half way through eating their meals.
"Indeed. I would have liked to been the class representative however I do not regret having voted for Midoriya. He has proven that he has the heart of a true hero during the entrance exam and that he has the skills to be a great leader." Iida explained
"Wow thanks Iida, that means a lot."
"I voted for Izuku too but I think you would be made a great class pres too ya know. You've got the glasses and everything." Ochako commented nonchalantly leading Iida to sputter, Izuku to face palm and Yaoyorozu to let out an uncomfortable laugh. "By the way I've been meaning to ask you Iida. Are you some sort of rich boy?"
"I had hoped not to have been spotted so soon but yes I guess you could say I am a rich boy. I come from a long line of heroes stemming from the beginning of quirks,I am the second son of the Iida family and the younger brother if the turbo hero: Ingenium."
"Oh he's that popular hero with over 60 sidekicks! That's amazing." Izuku gaped, hands itching to write.
"Oh and you Yaoyorozu? You sound like you've got a fancy family too." Ochako looked over at the other girl excitedly.
"Why yes. The Yaoyorozu family owns several companies ranging from hero costume manufacturers to research. Not to brag of course."
"Wow UA really is full of incredible peop-" A siren interrupted Izuku and the other students began panicking about a level 3 breach, what ever that meant. Everyone was trying to escape at once, scrambling and pushing in the hopes if escaping. Somewhere in the crowd he became aware that his hip felt lighter than it should. A quick glance down showering that the pouch holding his keys had torn. While the pouch was a little old, it still had a lot if ware left in it. Most likely an accidental quirk activation then. He needed to get out if this crowd and look for his friend's keys.
"Calm down! It is only the press!" That was Iida's voice! "We are students of UA and we need to act like it. If everyone could calmly head to their appropriate evacuation areas we will all be fine."
The messy crowd began to move out with very minimal pushing as Iida watched from above the door like he was the stick man from the exit sign. Finally the area was clear of students besides Iida, Ochako, Yaoyorozu and Izuku, all of them looking down at the pouch that held Izuku's keys. It had been crushed and dirtied in the stampede and lay useless on the ground before being picked up by Iida.
"I am sorry but I doubt we can salvage this." Iida remarked studying the small tears the could see now that it was closer to eye level.
"It's alright. I guess it means I should look into something better to hold them in any way. I'd hate to loose them when I actually need them." Izuku sighed, his mother had made the pouch for him while had had helped decorate it when he was younger.
"If you would like, I could use my quirk to create a replacement for you." Yaoyorozu offered, pulling up her sleeve to reveal some skin to use her quirk with.
"That would actually be great thanks." Izuku smiled, removing his keys from the pouch and handing it to the girl while he inspected the keys for damage. It took no time at all for Yaoyorozu to create a new pouch. "I used a faux leather blend and lined it with stainless steel plating so that it is sturdier." She handed over the new pouch.
"Thank you."
