The class ended up picking Yaoyorozu for class president... AFTER 30 MINUTES.
Now it's lunch time... thankfully.
"So many students..." I mumble to myself.
"That's because, beside the hero course, there's also the students from the support and business courses." Yaoyorozu spoke from my side. "All the students eat in the same room, here."
"That makes sense." I nod in agreement.
"What does vise-pres do anyways?" Jiro asked from Yaoyorozu's other side.
"Don't know." I shrug. "I'm not exactly the type people vote for so I have no experience."
"You shouldn't talk about yourself like that." Yaoyorozu scolded.
"What? Since I'm not class pres or anything I have a lot of free time." I say as we join the line.
"Still, my point stands." She gabbed her lunch.
"Where to sit, where to sit..." I look around before noticing the table with Ochaco and Toru.
"Let's sit over here." I bring the two with me to the table as they agreed to join me.
"Mind if we sit here?" Yaoyorozu took initiative and asked Midorya, who was also here.
"S-Sure." Midorya nodded shakily and we took our seats, well I was more just sitting next to the table.
"So how do you think you fell about being Vice-pres Midorya?" I asked.
"I'm a little worried to be honest." He voiced his concern. "I don't know if I can do good at supporting Yaoyorozu."
"You can." Ochaco gave her vote of confidence.
"Worry not." When has Ida been here!?
"Midorya, your decisiveness in a pinch..." He took a bite in the middle of a sentence. "make you good for what I voted you for."
"Didn't you want to be pres Ida?" I asked and he flinched a little.
"Again, ambition and suitability are different matters." He grabbed his drink. "I humbly made this choice I felt was correct."
"Humbly!?" The table was surprised.
"Ida, are you, per chance, a rich kid!?" Ochaco hounded.
"I don't like people to know this, but-" He took a deep breath. "Yes. My family is a renowned hero family."
"And I am the second son."
"Woah cool!" Midorya started fanboy-ing.
"Do you know the turbo hero Ingenium?" Ida asked and Midorya nodded very fast.
"Of course! He employs sidekicks at his office in Tokyo!" He started blabbering on. "So you're-"
"How very informed." He pushed up his glasses dramatically. "Yes. he is my brother."
'He's so frank about it!'
"He leads people with unwavering adherence to rules and regulations. A truly beloved hero!" Now Ida was fanboy-ing about his brother? "It's my admiration for my brother that's inspired my own desire to become a hero."
"Though I realize that I'm not ready yet to lead anyone." He smiled to the table. "As superior candidates, it was right for the role to go to you gals and Midorya."
'He's smiling!?'
"I've never seen you smile before Ida." Ochaco seemed to notice as well.
"EH!? I smile on occasion!" Ida protested.
"HAHA! You're way to serious Ida!" I laughed. "Take a break sometimes!"
"Not if there's-"
*VREEEEE*
The alarms screeched all of a sudden, deafening me for a moment as I covered my ears and the students around stood suddenly.
"Security level 3 has been broken-*ring*-evacuate in an orderly fash-*ring*" I can't hear the announcements because of the damn ringing in my ears!
*Crash!*
People began crowding and crashing into me, most tripping over my tail, before Toru grabbed my arm and started dragging me with the crowd, so I followed.
I managed to stabilize myself in time to see A flying Ida... Am I hallucinating?
"EVERYTHING IS FINE!" He yelled after crashing into the wall above the exit, how bold. "It's just the press!"
"There's nothing to panic about!"
"This is UA! Behave in a way befitting of this institution!"
With that the crowd stopped pushing and shoving, luckily I didn't get trampled... aside from my tail while looked pretty bad and covered in footprints.
"Toru..." I look to her, hoping I didn't raise my voice too high because of the deafness. "Can you take me to Recovery girl?"
"---" I don't know if she said anything, but she did take my hand and lead me to the nurses office. I had to pick up my tail as slithering on the ground hurts the end, making me look like a rattle snake without the rattle.
...
*smooooch~*
recovery Girl's kiss really does wonders as my hearing came back instantly and my tail became its plump state again.
"Thanks Recovery Girl."
"It's fine. After all, it's my job." She smiled as she handed me a lollypop. "I guess having good hearing is bad in some ways."
I nod a little.
"Just make sure to protect your tail better so this doesn't happen again, ok?"
"Ok, I will." With that, I headed out with Toru, who was waiting outside.
When we went to class, it was pretty calm for what just happened.
"I believe Ida should be president." Midorya said. "Yaoyorozu, what do you think?"
"I agree, he managed to stay calm during that crisis." She nodded. "Not to mention how well he led everyone."
"AH! Sounds good! Ida really showed his tuff in the cafeteria!" Kirishima's voice boomed. "No offense Yaoyorozu."
"He was like a beacon pointing to the emergency exit." Kaminari agreed as well.
"Don't I get an opinion in this!?" Ida was surprised.
"Whatever... just get on with it..." A voice came from in the corner beside me. "What a waste of time." It was caterpillar Aizawa!
"No choice then..." Ida pushed up his glasses. "I shall accept this job!"
"You can do it, Mr. exit Sign!" Kirishima yelled with enthusiasm and the class joined in.
"Exit sign Ida!"
"Do your best!"
With that, it was time for dismissal and to head home.
"Come on Hanabi!" Toru called for me and it took me a second to find her waving glove.
"Aight, I coming." I go on over.
"Today was pretty rough for a day we had to pick a class president." She sighed.
"Agreed." I say as we left through the disintegrated gate. "But I have a felling tomorrow will be worse."
"Why do you say so?" Toru was confused. "It was just a reported who used their quirk on the gate, right?"
"Yes... but it seems a little off to me." I close my eyes, trying to remember the plot, but it's been years... "I don't think it was just reporters who got in..."
"If villains got in, what could they do? Fight an army of robots?"
"Haha, I guess so."
