Invisible Strings | Katsuki Bakugou

Code names

Lenora tapped her feet on the ground, more and more excited.

"This hero name would be mostly temporary, but take them seriously or..."

"YOU'LL HAVE HELL TO PAY LATER!"

Midnight appeared on the door and Len couldn't help but be a simp like all the boys in her class.

"What you pick today could be your code name for life, you better be careful, or you'll be stuck with something indecent!"

Her high heels and boots echoed in the classroom while she approached Aizawa. Sending a little kiss in Len's direction, she positioned herself near her colleague and friend.

"She's got a good point. Midnight is going to have the final approval of your names, it's not my forte", he picked up his yellow cocoon, ready to take a nap, "code names are important, they show what kind of hero you want to be in the future, it tells people exactly what you represent. Take All Might for example."

A white board was slammed on Len's desk and she turned to thank Katsuki, finding him already writing down his hero name.

Jeez, it's gonna be something like 'Great Explosion Murder' or 'King of Explosion', she internally cringed.

Len tapped the pen on the board, thinking. What could she choose? Something that represents who she was and what she wanted to bring to the world. What kind of hero did she want to be?

"Now now, who wants to present first?"

Len almost snapped the marker in her hand. We have to present it? In front of the whole class? Damn me, I must think faster.

Luckily they had Aoyama in the class, who stood up in front of them behind the cathedra, showing them his hero name.

"Hold your breath," he started, "the Shining Hero: I Can Not Stop Twinkling!"

All class cringed and Len had to cover her face with the board to not Aoyama saw her laughing.

Midnight gave the name some small correction, modifying to 'Can't Stop Twinkling' instead, shocking everyone.

Mina was next; she jogged to the front of the class, showing her name 'Alien Queen'.

"Hold on! Like that monster with acid blood?! I don't think so!", Midnight rejected her name.

"Hey Pinkie, I thought it was cool!", Len whispered to her friend, trying to cheer her up.

Everyone felt the tension raising now but Tsu broke the ice with her amazing hero name.

"Rainy Season Hero: Froppy!", she presented it.

"That's delightful! What a great example of a name!", Midnight congratulated her and Len couldn't help but quiver, wanting to hug Tsu.

Such a cool name.

They all cheered up for her, making Tsu smile proud.

Next was Kirishima, who based his name on the Pro Crimson Riot, deciding on Red Riot, the Sturdy Hero.

Jirou was up then, "The Hearing Hero. Earphone Jack!"

Shoji, "The Tentacle Hero: Tentacle."

"Taping Hero: Cellophane!"

Len clapped her hands at Sero's name, finding it amusing.

"Martial Arts Hero: Tailman!", Oijiro had chosen a very original name.

"The Sweets Hero: Sugarman!", Sato gained Len's nod and her thumbs up, together with lots of compliments.

Mina was once again up there, showing her new name, "Pinky!", she shouted, pointing at Lenora.
