20 Hero Name & Internship Request

Today, school started again. Haku immediately got ready and went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, Haku said goodbye to Zabuza and went to school on foot. But in the middle of the trip, rain fell which made Haku speechless.

'It's raining. My mood immediately dropped.' Haku thought, remembering the unpleasant incident in the past.

When his father killed his mother, and he killed his father and his friends it happened when it was raining heavily. When he was on an assassination mission it always rained. And when he killed the village officials with Zabuza it was also in a state of heavy rain.

Haku looked down and saw a puddle of water at his feet. The road users around him also saw it strangely because Haku was silent in the rain.

Arriving at school, Haku, who was still trying to erase his memory, stood silently in front of the shoe locker, soaking wet. The rest of the students looked at him in astonishment. "Class president?" someone called from behind Haku, but Haku didn't hear him.

"Class president? Haku!" Called that person again while patting Haku's shoulder making Haku surprised.

When he looked back, it was Todoroki who called out to him. "Ah… Todoroki. What is it?" asked Haku while removing the water needle that he instantaneously created from the water in his body.

"What did you say? Those are my words. Why did you come soaking wet like this?" Todoroki asked.

"Ah… this… I forgot to bring an umbrella."

"Couldn't you use your quirk to keep it out of the water?"

"Well… actually i can. It's just… I purposely let myself get wet." Haku said with a sad smile.

Seeing Haku like this, Todoroki didn't ask any more questions. "Follow me." Todoroki said.

"Eh? Why?"

"Just come along." Todoroki said then took Haku to the changing place and dried Haku's clothes.

Currently Haku is wearing his gym uniform and waiting for his clothes to be dried by Todoroki. Haku knows that Todoroki used to be reluctant to use his fire power, but seeing Todoroki using his fire to help Haku, made Haku smile.

'Looks like he has started to get ahead of his troubles. That's good.' Haku thought.

Then after 10 minutes, Haku's clothes were finally dry. "Todoroki, thank you for drying my clothes." Haku said while smiling happily at Todoroki.

"Not really. I just thought it would be troublesome if our class president fell ill just because playing in the rain." Todoroki said then left Haku in the dressing room. After Todoroki came out, Haku quickly changed his clothes again and went to class.

At that time, he saw Midoriya and Iida who had just arrived and were in the shoe locker.

"Iida-kun..."

"If it's about my brother, then there's no need to worry. I'm sorry for making you worry for no reason." Iida said then immediately left Midoriya.

Haku realized that Iida was hiding something about his brother. 'So it's true, his brother was probably attacked by a villain and is currently seriously injured. Seeing Iida's personality, I'm worried that he will try to take revenge on that villain.' Haku thought.

"As expected, it's different when they broadcast the match on TV, isn't it? A lot of people talk to me on my way here!" Ashido said when Haku just got to class.

"Oh, me too." Kirishima said.

"People also look at me. It looks a little embarrassing." Hagakure said.

"Isn't that normal for you, Hagakure-san." Ojiro said.

"Oh!!! Class president!!! The day before yesterday you were acting up again! The video of you defeating a villain on the street with just one attack is going viral on the internet you know!! As expected of our class president!!" Sero exclaimed when he saw Haku coming from the front door of the class.

"Ah… I see. I didn't think anyone had recorded me at that time. This will be troublesome." Haku said then sat down on his chair.

"In just one day, we suddenly became the center of attention huh?" Kaminari said.

"UA is great!" Mineta said. Haku who saw his friends happy, made him smile gently.

Suddenly, Aizawa-sensei came, all the students were silent and entered the classroom,

"Morning.".

"Good morning!" Answer everybody.

"Kero, Aizawa-sensei, your bandages have been removed huh. I'm grateful." Tsuyu said.

"That old lady has gone too far with her treatment. More importantly, we will be doing a special hero information class."

Most of the students felt tense. Some think quizzes, exams, and others. "Codenames. You will determine the name of your hero." Aizawa's words got most of the students excited.

When Aizawa activated his quirk, everything fell silent again.

"This is also related to the selection of the pro hero draft that I mentioned yesterday. The draft starts at the beginning of the second and third grades, after students already have experience and can become intermediate assets for pros. In other words, for those who make offers to first class like you show that they are interested in your potential in the future. These offers are often canceled if the interest declines upon graduation." Aizawa said.

"So that means we have to prove ourselves after we've been chosen doesn't it?" asked Hagakure.

"That's right. And this is the total of those who have offers." Aizawa sensei said then a picture appeared on the blackboard showing the student who got an offer from the pro hero.

To his surprise, Haku had the most bids, namely 4321, followed by Todoroki, Bakugo who had thousands of bids and was followed by other students with only hundreds to tens of bids.

"In previous years, the offer was more evenly distributed, but this year all eyes are on these three." Aizawa said which made Haku a little uncomfortable.

Because of the rain today, Haku remembered that in his village, Kirigakure, there were still people left that he didn't kill. Haku becomes afraid that one day someone will come to him to take revenge and must involve other people he cares about.

"Gah! The difference is huge." Kaminari said.

"Those pros don't know anything good when they see it huh." Aoyama said annoyed.

"Second Todoroki and third Bakugo?"

"Even though Todoroki lost in the first match and Bakugo won second."

"As expected from Todoroki-kun." Yaoyorozu said.

"This is probably due to my father's influence." Todoroki said.

Seeing his friends happy and upset made Haku jealous of them because they didn't have to worry about anything and could freely move forward. Haku was confused whether to be proud of himself or to be afraid of the fame he was getting now.

Aizawa noticed Haku's strangeness and immediately asked, "What's wrong Yuki? Aren't you happy with this result?" This also made all the students immediately look at Haku.

They also realized that Haku was a little uncomfortable now. "Haku-chan, what's wrong?" Tsuyu asked.

"Ah… Well… It's not like that. It's just, I didn't expect it to be this famous. I don't like fame. None of that has ever brought me anything good." Haku replied which made everyone silent.

"Please continue the class, Aizawa-sensei." Haku said he didn't want to talk about this anymore. Nor did Aizawa want to push Haku any further, so he continued his explanation.

"In that case, keep this result in your brain. If no one asks you, you will still do internship with the pros."

"Internship?"

"Yes. It will be a valuable exercise for you guys to be able to see the pros at work first-hand." Aizawa said.

"That's why we have to choose the name of our hero huh." Sato said.

"It's suddenly become more fun." Uraraka said.

"Well, that hero name is still tentative, but if you guys aren't serious about it…"

"You will regret it later!!" Midnight exclaimed who suddenly entered the classroom.

"Because many hero names used by students become known to the public, and end up becoming professional hero names!" Midnight explained while walking near Aizawa sensei.

"Well, that's how it is. So Midnight will make sure your hero's name is okay. I can't do such a thing." said Aizawa sensei then took his yellow sleeping bag.

"When you give yourself a name, you get a focused image of what you want to be in the future, and you approach it. That's what it means when they say 'Name is always the same as natural.'. Examples are All Might." Aizawa said.

'What do you want to be in the future.' Haku thought as he stared at the small blackboard in front of him.

'I, don't know what I want to be. I live now only want to penetrate my sins. I also don't mean I want to be a hero.' Haku thought.

Then after a few minutes had passed, Midnight said, "Then we will start announcing the names of your heroes starting with the finished ones.". Then one by one, they came forward and announced the name of their hero. Some were immediately accepted, and some were corrected and rejected.

"It turns out that choosing the name of this hero went more smoothly than I thought. The rest are Midoriya, Bakugo, Iida, and Haku right?" Midnight said. Then, Iida, and Midoriya came forward and announced his name. Midoriya also explained the name of the hero. And Bakugo was again denied his name. And leaving Haku.

Finally Haku stepped forward and showed his hero's name. "Kuroyuki (Black Snow). This is my hero's name." Haku said with a small smile.

"Hmm? Why did you choose this name? Snow is white." asked Midnight curiously.

"Yuki (Snow) is the clan name of my kekkei genkai and I was born in a village that snows every year. My mother said, if I always play with the snow, my hair will turn white, but my hair stay black. So I chose this name Kuroyuki." Haku said.

"Oh, I see. Alright, your name is fine." Midnight said, with this the selection of the hero name has been completed.

"Now that everyone has decided on the names of your heroes, we will return to discussing internships. You will be interning for one week, for where you will be doing it, those who have offers from pro heroes will have their own list, so you can choose from there yourself. Those who don't have bids will choose from 40 agencies spread across the country that will accept interns. Each one works in a different place and will have a different specialization." Explain Aizawa.

"For example, Thirteen will focus on evacuating and saving from accidents and disasters rather than fighting villains." Add Midnight.

"Think carefully before choosing." Aizawa said.

"YES SIR!"

Then the bell rang, "Gather your choices before the weekend." Aizawa said then left the class.

"So we only have two days left?"

"Make decisions efficiently. Class dismissed" Aizawa said then closed the door.

During lunch time, "Ne ne... have you decided which agency you want to go to?" asked Ashido.

"I'm going to Mt. Lady!" Mineta said.

"Mineta-chan, you must be thinking something lewd right?" Tsuyu said.

"Not really!!!".

"Ashido even though got to a pretty far place in the match. It's weird not getting any offers." Ojiro said.

"Haku-chan, have you decided on a place for your internship?" Tsuyu asked.

Haku smiled sadly and said, "I don't know where to go. If i want to see a pro hero in action directly, I've done it many times before coming here. My uncle often takes me on patrols at night and sometimes helps pro heroes secretly."

Hearing this, all the students who heard it were shocked. "Eh? That means you're a Vigilante?"

"Vigilante? What's that?" asked Haku which made everyone look at him with disbelief.

"You even don't know Vigilante? Where do you live?! Oh my god." Mineta asked with disbelief.

"Vigilante is a person who does hero work illegally without a hero license." Explain Yaoyorozu.

"Hm… I see… This world is really troublesome huh. You don't have to worry. I've never used my quirk to beat lowly villain in the narrow alleys." Haku said which took everyone by surprise.

"You defeated those villains with just your physical strength? At what age did you actually start doing that vigilante?!" Mineta asked.

"Hm… Come to think of it, it probably started when I was 11 years old until before entering this UA. After entering UA, my uncle was so busy that he never asked me to go on patrols again." Haku said which made all his friends look at him in disbelief.

After the bell rang, Haku went straight home and planned to ask Zabuza about this matter.

When dinner was over, Haku also gave a list of pro hero offers to Zabuza. "Hm… If you became a hero, what would you like to do? Fighting enemies to protect others? Or save people from disaster?" Zabuza asked.

"I want to protect others with my strength. I feel more suited to fighting than saving people during disasters or accidents. I want to destroy the enemy from behind before the other heroes attack. I also want to be a hidden spear for the good side." Haku said.

Zabuza smiled at Haku's decision. "Then maybe you can go to Ninja Hero Edgeshot agency, he's a ninja themed hero and often goes on investigation missions and raid missions. The Lurkers are the group he leads, there are also Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady." Zabuza said.

"Edgeshot huh. I wonder how strong I am compared to him." Haku said. Hearing that, Zabuza laughed.

"Currently he is ranked as the 5th strongest hero in Japan. If you can fight evenly against him, then you can instantly become a pro hero, hahaha!!" Haku finally laughed and decided to go to Edgeshot.
