34 Chapter 34: Heroic Names
(3rd Person POV)
On the way to the U.A. Many people recognised Jōichirō as he is the undefeated champion of the sports festival that was over two days ago. Jōichirō just smiled at them and thanked them for their greetings and praise. Somebody had also asked for his autograph, which he politely declined as he knew himself what could happen after he gave one. Right now, Jōichirō is sitting in his seat with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Morning." A voice was heard by Joichirio, which brought him back from his musings.
Looking at the one who greeted him, he said "Morning, Fumikage. Was there any trouble on the way?"
"Nothing much, just the people recognizing me from the sports festival and keeping a distance from me thanks to Dark Shadow." Fumikage replied to the question asked by Jōichirō.
"Well, Yuki is interested in Dark Shadow, same for Eri." Joichiro Said.
"Yes, there were kids who had stars in their eyes when they were looking at me. Children are curious creatures."
"For your information, we were children three years ago." A female voice said.
"Morning Momo, how was your trip to school? Oh right, you come in a limo." Jōichirō said to Momo who interfered in their conversation, not that they mind that.
Giving Joichiro a sting eye, she said "People were calling my home to congratulate me, if you know what I mean."
Fumikage nodded and said "It must have been tough, to get compliments from the rich."
"Not you too." Saying that, she slumped on the seat. Then suddenly, she looked at Jōichirō and asked "How did it go?"
"What?" Jōichirō asked her, confused.
"You know, dinner with No. 2 pro hero!" Momo said excitedly, Fumikage also perked up hearing that.
"The food was good, and he thanked me for saving his son." Jōichirō said.
"That's all?? Nothing happened??!! " Her excitement is clearly dying down.
"What are you expecting to have happened there?" Jōichirō asked with a sigh.
"You went to the house of No.2 Pro Hero Endeavour, he could have given you some pointers!" Momo said in a dejected tone.
"He didn't, we just had a nice dinner and a nice talk, nothing much happened." Jōichirō said while thinking 'He did give me permission to continue our relationship and after I become 16, the legal age in Japan, we can take it to the next level.'
"Please don't think anything inappropriate about my sister while you're with me." A voice was heard by Jōichirō in a whisper.
Looking at Shoto who was blocking the sight of the other too, Jōichirō said in a low voice so that only Shoto could hear "I won't, and I don't think anything inappropriate about her at any time. What do you take me for, a pervert?"
"Wooing an older woman to fall in love with you? Yeah, I think so." Shoto said with a straight face, but he was actually holding his laughter in control. Saying that, he went and sat down in his seat while facing his three friends, 'No, two friends and a brother in law.'
The four of them then started to speak about the sports festival and their upcoming internships that Aizawa had informed them right after the sports festival. Shoto had already decided to join his father's agency where his brother is also present, the rest of them said that they will decide after the nomination list is obtained.
While they were having small talks among them, their classmates came in one by one or in pairs with smiles on their faces.
As soon as Mina came she started to speak "It's difficult when they broadcast the matches on TV after all, huh? So many people talked to me on the way here!"
"Yeah me too" Kirishima chimed in.
And they started talking about what happened to them while coming to school. As sharp as the bell rang Aizawa sensei entered the class by saying "Morning"
After standing on the platform he started to speak "We're having a special hero information class today. Code Name. You'll be coming up with hero names.
This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned the other day. The drafts begin in earnest in the second and third years, after students have gained experience and can become immediate assets to the pros.
In other words, for them to extend offers to first years like you shows that they are interested in your future potential. These offers are often canceled if that interest dies down by graduation.
And here are the totals for those with offers." As he said that a list was shown on the board.
<CLASS A NO OF OFFERS
Jōichirō Saiba - 6350
Shoto Todoroki - 5323
Katsuki Bakugo - 3945
Tenya Iida - 400
Fumikage Tokoyami - 380
Momo Yaoyorozu - 350
.. etc. >
"In the past years the offers were distributed almost equally, but this year the focus was on those three. Keep these results in mind, if or not anyone asks for you, you will be participating in internships with pros. Those hero names are still temporary but....."
After he said that the door opened and Midnight came inside the class in her hero suit, which was erotic in many ways. Not minding the stares she is getting from the boys and the girls, she started to speak "If you're not serious about it you'll have hell to pay later. Because a lot of hero names used by students become recognized by society, and they end up becoming professional hero names!"
"Well that's how it is. So Midnight will be making sure your names are okay. I can't." Saying that he tucked himself inside his sleeping bag.
"Alright I'll give you time to write your hero names and you have to present it before the class."
The students at first looked at the number of nominations that they got and some sighed in relief as they had some nominations and some who didn't get any nomination was also relieved as they will also be able to participate in the internship.
After fifteen minutes had passed, Midnight said "Alright, it's almost time. For those who are ready to present their names for the class!"
Hearing that, most of them were shocked as they didnt think that they would have to present it in front of their classmates. And to their surprise, it was Jōichirō who stood up and walked up to the podium.
Standing in front of his classmates he introduced his hero name to them "Sun Hero: Karna!"
Most of them didn't get why he named himself Karna, and Midnight looked at Joichiro and said "Why Karna? You do know that he was called the Tragic Hero in the Indian Mythology right?"
Hearing that from Midnight, they were surprised, as who would name themselves after a 'Tragic Hero'? But the next words of Joichiro erased that thought "Well, he is also known as the greatest warrior amongst all." 'Well I mainly named it because I could absorb the energy from the Sun and strengthen myself, but they don't need to know that.' Jōichirō thought to himself.
"But warriors are not needed in these times, Saiba." Midnight said.
"Maybe. But we never know." Jōichirō said with a smile.
"Well whatever, know that this name will stick with you and to change it in the future it will be a bit troublesome."
"Alright, that's not a problem with me." Saying that Jōichirō went back to his seat.
After his Hero Name, one by one they came to introduce their names, starting with Aoyama "The name of the Sparkling Hero: I Cannot Stop Twinkling."
Midnight advised him to take out the "I" in the name and he agreed with it, and the other students were shocked.
Right after Ayoama, Mina came and said "Call me Alien Queen."
To the shock of the students, that name was rejected by Midnight.
Next was Asui. "I've been thinking about this since elementary school. Rainy Season Hero: Froppy."
"I like it. Next."
"Red Riot" Kirishima said proudly
"Homage to the hero Crimson Riot. Cool." Midnight praised him and advised him that there would be some pressure on him as it's a name that he respects.
Similarly, all the other students in the class introduced their hero names in the class.
Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack - Kyoka
Tentacle Hero: Tentacle - Mezo
Taping Hero: Cellophane - Sero
Martial Arts Hero: Tailman - Ojiro
The Sweet Taste Hero: Sugar Man - Sato
Pinky - Mina
The Stun Hero: Charhezuma - Denki
Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl - Toru
Everting Hero: Creati - Momo
Ice & Fire Hero: Frostfire - Shoto
Jet Black Hero: Tsukuyomi - Fumikage
Petting Hero: Anima - Koji
Right after him Katsuki got on and said "King Of Explodo-Kills."
"Nope. You have to change it." Midnight told him.
"What do you mean by change it.." As he was about to rage at Midnight Jōichirō shouted at Katsuki "How about Explosion Hero: Dynamight?"
"..... " Everyone in the class looked at Jōichirō.
"What? Can't I suggest a name for him?" Jōichirō asked them.
"Shut up! You geezer!" Katsuki told Jōichirō.
"Alright Boom-boom boy." Jōichirō said that with a smile and thought 'He is back to himself, but has toned down a lot? Did he get a concussion while fighting me?'
Gravity Hero: Uravity - Ochako
Tenya - Tenya
Deku - Izuku
After Midnight was satisfied with their names, she left the class while giving the good luck,
Then, as usual teachers came to take classes on their respective subjects and the students lazed around most of the time, which got them into some trouble with the teachers.
When the time for lunch came, they all went to the cafeteria and mostly kept to themselves.
