"We decided to put on such an elaborate ceremony because this is a critical juncture for our times." the Commission President says "It's been about three months since All Might's retirement. And word in the street is that our society is still missing an icon, but the heroes standing before you are ready to take on the mantle. So let us join them in their quest for a peaceful society."

"Psst How's it feel for your daughter to be on top?" Hawks whispers, but that is nothing to when the President says next "And now, a word from our heroes!" Hold the fuck on, I only agreed to stand here and look heroic not to speak!! Fuuuuuuuuuck.

I take a few deep breaths as I rock on my heel as my colleagues speak, noticing Hawks's attempt to keep he mouth shut become more difficult as it does up the ranks. Bitch if you could keep my rank quiet the you can wait till your turn. "If public approval were the only factors, you'd be in third place!" the woman says, standing next to Edgeshot "Numbers don't concern me." the hero responds "I'm grateful to all my supporters, of course, but I don't do this job for fame or reputation." Thank you, so glad I'm not the only one. "The ability to preserve law and order is the true measure of a hero." he adds before getting interrupted. "Who the heck you think wants to hear that crab?!" why do I feel like a mother trying not to beat her child in public? Hawks, what the fuck? "Sassy. I like it!" Mirko, please don't encourage, "You always did enjoy rocking the boat." Edgeshot adds. "I just hate holding back how I feel.x Hawks replies, snatching the mic before clearing his throat "You wanna talk public support? Best Jeanist would be Number One if that was all that mattered, thanks to the boost he's gotten during his leave of absence. I'd be second, Edgeshot'd be third, Endeavor, fourth, and so on with Kiki tenth." What the fuck?! How the hell would I be tenth?! "Public approval? Sure it matters more than anything else now, but c'mon, this isn't the time to dwell on the past. And you saying that the course is the answer? Our symbol's gone. Today's a turning point, so what I don't wanna hear is a bunch of P.R.- friendly sound bites from the guys and gals below me! Try coming up with something actually heroic to say!" Hawks, get your ass down here so that I can kick your ass. "That's all from me." Hawks says, coming back down to earth "You're next. Dude with a lower approval rating than me, my fellow Number Two." Great job at trying to win him over Hawks. "After my junior colleague fanned the flames like that," Dad says once he has the microphone "I don't have much to say. Except just watch me!" I clap along with Hawks, Short and sweet unlike him, but couldn't you have give me a bit more time to think of something? Guess I'll wing it.

I glance down the line of heroes, once Dad had gave me the microphone, before looking at myself "Are you guys sure I'm suppose to be here? Because if it wasn't for the fact that I know this is the Billboard Charts then I would have thought this is a stubbornness competition but even then the rankings are a little off after third, no offense to you guys and gals." there are a few chuckles, not really easing my nerves but hey, they like jokes. "I mean, why else would I be first? I got my stubbornness from this guy." I gesture to my father using my head, more chuckles and maybe an eye roll from the man "All jokes aside, I am surprised I am even on this stage with these heroes. I couldn't have done it without my teachers, mentors, friends family and of course my personal Number One for inspiring me to be like him." I give a bow at forty-five degrees "Domo Arigatou Gozaimas, because without you I would not be on this stage showing the world that you can be number one no matter your quirk or if you lack on." I straighten up "Because quirks don't make the hero, it takes a heart of one to sacrifice oneself for others whether it's your life or just your time, and a creative mind to get the job done with what you have. So, even if you aren't licenced to use your quirk, you too can be a hero by helping others without your quirk even if it's just a smile or a hello to a stranger." I give a smile "Do your best out there heroes." I then give a slightly smaller bow before handing the mic to the lady Hawks stole it from. There are a few claps, probably mostly shock. Hey, I don't care for public approval.

"Explain yourself, kid!" I hear my father say as I walk into his waiting room thing, "Hey! Let me have a go at him before you rotisserie him!" I say behind him, seeing Hawks in his grip and Dad on fire, more so than normal. "Everyone was just rattling off the usual lines, so I thought we needed to shake things up." my friend says, "Bitch, if he wasn't between us I would've made sure to stomp on your foot at the minimum." I glare, "Testing us, huh?"

"No way! More like assisting! It did the trick, right?" Hawks is let go of, darn he was at a good height to be a punching bag, "I wasn't a big fan of All Might. I never wanted to be like him. But even so, him stepping down came as a shock to me. 

"You two'll never be idolized. Not in the way he was. Still, there's no denying that we seriously need a new leader now. So thanks for the reassurance!" he takes of his visor "You guys were cool out there."

"Was that a pun for me?" I sigh, "And you never wanted to take on that role yourself?" Dad asks.

"Do I look like the type to you?" Keigo asks "I wish I was lower down. There's more freedom there!"

"Then why the hell did you tell me what my rank was last time?! You know the hell I didn't want to be up here." I throw my hands in the air, "Come one Azula, you are a much better fit for the top then I am." Hawks smiles but I flip him off, "I hate guys like you the most. We're done here. Go make the rounds and apologize to the others." Dad says but I huff, knowing my friend "But wait there's more."

"Hang in, I'm getting to the good part!" Hawks says, told ya, "I don't care! Go away!" 

"This better be good KFC." I lean on a wall, "It's a good thing you are here too Kiki, I'm thinking we should team up." the blonde says "Back in my neck of the woods, there've been some nasty sightings. I'm talking about the Nomu. Remember them?"

Hey, so I am kinda yonking lines from the official manga since I checked the manga out from my library. So yee
