(Takeyama Kyoshu POV)
That trip on the train to U.A was awful, I was squished against Kou-chan & people were being awfully "friendly" with us because they recognized us from the Sports Festival. I sure do hope that it dies down, I shook my head & laugh lightly when he got distracted & told me to go ahead, to which I do, with an umbrella in my hand, I begin walking to school when I notice a familiar green headed idiot
"Good morning Izu-chan!" I call out to him as I carefully sprint over to him, he turned around & smiled when he saw me
"Takeyama-san! Good morning!" I let out a tired sigh as I start walking beside him
"How's your morning been? Mine was stressful, a lot of people recognized me from the sports festival then wouldn't leave me alone!" he let out a sigh as well
"I know what you mean." we continued to talk but suddenly there was incoming footsteps behind us
"Good morning Midoriya-kun & Kyoshu-kun!"
"O-Oh, good morning Iida-kun!" Midoriya called as he ran pass us
"Why on earth are you two walking so slowly?! School is about to start!"
"No offence Ten-chan, but we got at least 5 minutes left." I said to him, as we entered the school building dried off my umbrella & when it was I waited for the other two until I remembered about something between Ten-chan & his brother Tensei
Tensei was up against the hero killer & what the news had said was that he was severely injured & won't be able to be a pro hero anymore, I felt pity towards him. I look back at Ten-chan & see that look in his eye, I know that look... its the exact same look I had when, Kuyo--
"Aren't you coming, Takeyama-san?" I look up & notice the two walking towards class
"Oh, sorry!" I follow behind the two
We made it to class just in time & the other classmates were saying how people came up to them & congratulated them on how they fought in the Sports Festival, I laughed silently when Hanta-chan said that children told him to "do his best", if I remember correctly, that was what the crowd was cheering when he was up against Shouto
"Its alright Hanta-chan, it'll die down... eventually."
"AHHH! I can't wait that long!" Eijirou-chan, Mina-chan & Kyouka-chan laughed at his antics, it wasn't long before Aizawa-sensei walked in & I sighed in relief when I saw that the bandages were no longer all over his body
"It's time to formulate your code names. Your hero names." Aizawa-sensei stated, the entire class including me erupted into cheers as we all went crazy cheering at the information
"Oh my God yes!! Now this is making my chest swell!!" someone exclaims, Aizawa-sensei clears his throat to get the attention of everyone & for us to shut up
"This is related to the Draft Nominations by pros I mentioned the other day. The nominations will truly start mattering only after you've gained some experience & your adaptable fighting ability is judged during your sophomore & senior years. In other words, the nominations you're getting this year are more akin to expressions of 'interest' in your future potential. & it's not rare that that interest dries up by graduation. Or is simply unilaterally dropped." he explained
"Damn. Adults playing with our emotions." the grape head Mineta muttered
"So I guess the nominations we received are like personal hurdles, then!" Tooru exclaims
"Yes. Now, the tally of nominations is as follows." the designated cases shows up on the board, everyone's eyes widen when they saw who got the most offers
Takeyama Kyoshu→ 6,246
Todoroki Shouto → 4,123
Bakugou Katuki → 3,556
Tokoyami Fumikage → 360
Iida Tenya → 301
Kaminari Denki → 272
Yaoyorozu Momo → 108
Kirishima Eijirou → 68
Uraraka Ochaco→ 20
Sero Hanta → 14
'Guess they didn't want the other first place winner since he was basically chained to it like a criminal. That was a funny scene.' I then laughed
"Hah! I win, Kacchan!" he just turned his head & glared at me
"Fuck you!" Aizawa-sensei shook his head
"Anyways, based on this, regardless of whether or not you received any nominations, I'll be having you all go get some so-called 'work-place experience.' Well, you've all dipped a toe in the world of the pros, unfortunately. But I think experiencing the activities of pros firsthand will prove to be more fruitful training than before."
"& cause of that we need hero names, huh?!" Rikidou exclaims in excitement
"Things've gotten fun all of a sudden!" Ochaco squealed
"Awesome, we're picking names!" I cheer as I lean back near Ten-chan, he nodded his head
"Have you picked one, Kyoshu-kun?" I shrug
"Kinda, I'm still thinking though."
"What you pick today could be your code name for life. You better pick carefully or else you'll be stuck with something utterly indecent." a feminine voice said, I look up & see... Midnight-sensei
"Here!" I blink & see Mashirao-chan passed back & whiteboard, I took one & passed one back to Denki-chan
"& also write your names!" she added, that made me smile a bit before having a thinking face
'My hero name? I wonder what it should be.' first up was that Yuuga fellow, I believe he was that French foreign guy with the support belt
"My name is Aoyama Yuuga & I am the Sparkling Hero: I Cannot Stop Twinkling! Which means you can't stop my sparkles!!" I sweat drop at that, she changed his name to Can't Stop Twinkling, next up was Mina-chan
"My name is Ashido Mina, & my hero name is Alien Queen!"
"No way! That name sounds like that acidic monster from those movies! I suggest not using that!" I sweat drop
"& that one wasn't normal."
"Ribbit! I think I got one, is it okay if I go next?" Tsu-chan asked
"Sure! Come on up!"
"I had this name in mind since grade school! Asui Tsuyu as The Rainy Season Hero: Froppy!"
"That sounds delightful! It makes you sound approachable! What a great example of a name everyone will love!" I chuckle when everyone started cheering "Froppy" for her, now it was Eijirou-chan's turn
"I got mine too! Kirishima Ejirou! The Sturdy Hero: Red Riot!"
"Red Riot? Is that out of respect for that man among heroes, Crimson Riot?" Midnight-sensei had asked Eijirou-chan, he lightly blushed while nodding his head
"It is yeah! He's retro but the kind of hero image I'm aiming for is just like Crimson!"
"You know, since you'll be carrying the name of someone you look up to, you're going to be hit with the corresponding amount of pressure."
"Don't worry, I'm prepared for it!!" soon enough the others started presenting their names
Jirou Kyouka - Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack
Shouji Mizou - Tentacle Hero: Tentacole
Sero Hanta - Tapping Hero: Cellophane
Ojiro Mashirao - Martial Arts Hero: Tailman
Satou Rikdou - Sweets Hero: Sugarman
Ashido Mina - Pinky
Kaminari Denki - Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt
Hagakure Tooru - Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl
Yaoyorozu Momo - Everything Hero: Creati
Todoroki Shouto - ... Shouto
Tokoyami Fumikage - Jet Black Hero: Tsukuyomi
Mineta Minoru - Fresh Picked Hero: Grape Juice
Kouda Kouji - Petting Hero: Anima
"King Explosion Murderer." I couldn't help but laugh at that one, Midnight-sensei turned his name down & told him to rethink his name
"Okay, um, my turn!" I watched as Ochaco-chan went up & presented "Uraraka Ochaco, or Uravity..." she said nervously
"Very cute & creative!" she sighed in relief before sitting down in her seat "Choosing hero names is going more smoothly then I thought it would. All we have left now is Bakugou-kun, to rethink his, Takeyama-san & Iida-kun. Oh, & Midoriya-kun right?" I finally thought of a name but Ten-chan beat me to it, I narrow my eyes at it
"... Tenya?" I then look up at him
"You're using your first name as well?" he nodded his head before silently walking back to his desk
"Hey Ten-chan, I have a suggestion for a hero name for you, if you don't mind though." he shook his head
"I don't."
"Why don't you call yourself Tengenium." I saw him raise an eyebrow "A mixture of your name & Ingenium! How does that sound?"
"I like it but..."
"Hey." he looked up at me "I heard what happened to Ingenium on the news, I hope your brother is doing okay & can recover quickly." he smiled at me
"Thank you..." I nodded
"No problem!"
"Takeyama-san! Have you thought of one now?" I nodded my head "Up you come." I stood up front & presented my hero name
"Takeyama Kyoshu as the Growing Hero: Colossus!" I heard her ooh
"Such a suited name for you, Takeyama-san!" I wink "& by growing, not just your ability to make yourself grow, but also your abilities & strength to grow as well! Very smart Takeyama-san!" I grin at her
"Thank you!"
"Midoriya-kun, are you ready?" I look over at Izu-chan & saw him get up from his seat & up to the front, he looked at the board one last time before showing it to us
"Midoriya?"
"Are you really okay with that?" Denki-chan asked
"You might be called that forever, you know?" Eijirou-chan added
"Yeah. I didn't like this name until now. But someone changed the meaning of it, & that was a huge impact on me. It made me really happy. This is my hero name."
Deku...? I look at Ochaco-chan's reaction & see she was smiling a bit, Kacchan on the other hand had a mixture of pissed & confusion
"Lord Explosion Murderer!!!!" Kacchan shouted
"That doesn't sound to different from the last one..." I mutter before laughing a little
(Third Person POV)
"Now then, to keep this simple your field training will be one week long. These are all good work places. But those with nominations will receive a personalized list. Pick one. Those who don't, get this list of forty participating workplaces from across the country. Choose one from the list. Their areas of operation & expertise all vary. So put a lot of thought into it before you choose. Then turn them in by the end of the week." Aizawa instructed as he handed them their lists
"We only have 2 days!" Sero complained
"Yes." was all he said before walking out, Kyoshu hummed then looked down at her list & skimmed through the names & she was quite surprised when she saw that THE Best Jeanist wanted her. She looked down the list & soon enough a glare made its way to her face, why you ask? Because she saw that even Endeavor scouted her out, she tsked before looking back at Todoroki but then looked through the list again. She giggled to herself when she saw that even her aunt wanted, she shook her head
"I know who I'm going with!" Mineta started before pointing his thumb at himself "Its Mt. Lady!" she rolled her eyes
"You're thinking perverted thoughts, aren't you Mineta-chan?" she heard Asui say
"No I'm not!" he heard the popping of explosions & nervously turned around to see both Bakugou & Kyoshu giving him a dead glare
"Don't even think about it." he screeched on fear
"Hey Kyoshu!" her dark mood washed away as she looked over & saw Kirishima "Who are you interning with?" he asked as he sat down on her desk, she hummed & showed him with a large smile
"I'm not entirely sure, I'm still thinking!" she saw him smile a bit, he motioned for her to hand him her list so he could see & so she did, she saw his eyes skim through them & his eyes widened at one of them
"You got Endeavor?!" that got everyone looking their way, even Todoroki "Oops, sorry." she sighed & shook her head once everyone swarmed the two of them, including Todoroki
"The no. 2 ranked hero asked you to intern at his agency?!" Kirishima yelled
"Man I'm so jealous!" Satou added
"Are you going to intern with him?" Todoroki asked, a scowl made its way to her face
"Hell no." a few sweat dropped at how straight forward she said that "I have a strong disliking to him."
"Why?" she shook her head
"Don't even ask." they nodded their heads, Kaminari took the sheet from Sero's hands & he almost ripped it at who he saw
"Whoa whoa whoa! She even has the eyes of the 3rd & 4th ranked heroes!" Kaminari exclaimed
"What?! No way!"
"I can't believe you got them as well?!"
"Man you got big shots wanting you!" she sheepishly laugh "How lucky!"
"What can I say? I just really stick out!" when everyone started to walk away from her she looked back down at the list again & a certain name stuck out to her "The Fighting Hero: Titan." she hummed as she looked down at it & circled his name
'I believe this one is going to help me improve my quirk greatly.'
(Time Skip)
"Ten-chan!" he stops in his tracks & turned to see it was Kyoshu that called his name "I need to speak with you, privately."
"If its abou--" before he could finish Kyoshu grabbed his wrist & pulled him somewhere where most of the students weren't seen "Oi Kyoshu-kun!" he snatched his wrist back from her & couldn't help but glared at her "What do you want to talk so desperately about?"
"You."
"Me?"
"I can tell you're sad about your brother Tensei about not being about to be a pro hero anymore because of the Hero Killer Stain, but don't do anything you're going to regret later." he seemed to have glared harder at her, this made her sigh "I... I know how you feel, Tenya."
"Oh yeah? How do you know how I feel?! You don't even have any siblings so could you possibly know how I feel?! My brother can't be a pro anymore & he expects me to just take it over!! So please, tell me exactly how you know how you think the feelings mutual?!" she clenched her hand into a fist
"That's exactly it! Because I HAD a sister!" Iida's glare softened
"Had...?"
"Yes! Had!" she covered her mouth with her fist & looked away "She died when we were young, I was so cold towards her & I regret that, so you should be thankful that your brother is still alive instead of being in the grave joining her." she looked away & ran her hand under her locks that covered her eyes, Iida reached his hands out to her
"K-Kyoshu-kun..." she sucked in a breath & looked back at Iida
"If you ever need to talk about anything, anything at all, come to me cause I'll always be there if you need me." she begins to walk away & just as she passes Iida he whispers "But please, please don't do anything that you'll regret..."
