The Little Esper Hero [mha/bnha x mob pyscho 100 AU]

20. USJ II

[A/N] I drew this picture myself, but the original drawing of Iida on the left came from someone else and I just added Yuuma to it. The picture I looked at was found on Pinterest. The link will be in the comment to this. Credit to the original artist of Iida.

"Everyone line up in accordance to your seat number!" Iida yelled. He was doing those weird robotic hand chops, Yuuma wasn't sure why he was doing that though. Was it fun? Should he try it? As Iida continued to yell out orders to organize the rest of the class, Yuuma found himself mimicking the hand chops. Yuuma's face was blank while Iida had a concentrated gleam in his eyes, not noticing he'd acquired a shadow.

"Am I doing it right?" The question finally caught the dark blue haired teen's attention. The glee and slight embarrassment couldn't be hidden on the secretary rep's face as he happily replied.

"Yes!"

'No!' The rest mentally replied at the same time. 'But it's cute!'

Yuuma, completely oblivious to their plight, thought he and Iida had gotten closer as friends through this and was very happy. He continued to copy the robotic hand movement which he found pretty fun to do.

Iida's mood was shot down the moment they got on the bus. It had a completely different format than what he'd thought, so him lining up the class was completely useless. Yuuma patted his back in comfort and then took his seat beside Izuku. As soon as everyone was in, they were off.

They were given a choice on whether or not to wear their hero gear. Yuuma, of course, chose to wear it. Yuuma was very practical and thought of different scenarios that could happen. When he was designing his costume, rescue was the main thing he had in mind. The grips on his gloves, the medical kits, his visor, all of these bits of equipment were meant to help him in finding and rescuing people.

As well as finding enemies, but fighting was always his second option. If he had a choice, he would rather not have to fight at all. Even though he believed himself okay in combat thanks to his years of training, he was more focused on the damage control aspect of it all. If he could avoid conflict to concentrate on rescue, he would. Peoples lives matter much more than winning a battle.

Thinking about all of the possible things they could be learning today about rescue, Yuuma had almost completely zoned out until Tsu started to speak her mind.

"You know, I usually say what's on my mind. Your quirk is a lot like All Might's," She stated, causing Izuku to sweat bullets. He was saved by the others stating the fact that All Might didn't hurt himself when he used his power, and the conversation drifted to the flashiest quirks and who would be popular, this was the moment Yuuma heard his name and tuned back in to the conversation.

"Huh?"

"Yeah! He'll definitely be a popular hero."

"My quirk is just hardening my skin. Not all that flashy or cool." Kirishima had a little bit of a downcast look. When Yuuma unconsciously peaked at his energy he noticed he was a bit depressed. Yuuma did not like his friends being depressed. Yuuma cut in at this point.

"How flashy or cool something is does not equate to skill and usefulness. A hero can be as flashy as they want but if that's all they are then they won't be much help in the field. You are great at using your quirk, and I'm sure that even without it, with your level of tenacity and fighting prowess, you'd do extremely well. You are all amazing." Yuuma said genuinely.

The words sunk themselves in and Kirishima let out a blinding sharp tooth smile, "Thanks!"

"Speaking of quirks and skills, I've been thinking about something." Yuuma said, getting everyone's attention.
