A Heroic Heart and Tired One Too (Discontinued)

14: Hero Names

---------------------Chapter Start---------------------------------------------

On my way to school, I had many people congratulating me on my placement in the Sports Festival. It feels kinda nice. I got into school and put away my umbrella, and noticed Iida walk by. He disappeared to somewhere right before the awards ceremony. I wonder what that was about.

"Gisheikyo!"

"Hm. Oh hey, morning Midoriya." 

"How are you this morning? I see that your hand is in bandages instead of a cast, so that's nice." I say. She smiles and nods, talking about how a guy recognized her from the Sports Festival and said her Quirk is super cool. Come to think of it, I've never asked her what the name of it is. So i do so and she seems a little stunned at me asking.

"I-I never told you?"

"No."

"W-Well my quirk is called S-Superpower." She says. We reach class and talk with the other people in the class. Todoroki pulls me aside and says that he wanted to apologize for the unnecessary strife that his actions during the Sports Festival.

"I was in conflict with my father at the time. I shouldn't have taken that out on you."

"It's aright I suppose. Dont worry about it too much." I said before quickly taking my seat as Aizawa comes in. He looks human again instead of looking like a mummy now. Tsuyu commented on this and Aizawa merely said that Recovery Girl's treatment was extensive.  

"Oh and you all will be picking your hero names today. " Aizawa calmly stated. The class erupts in cheers before quickly settling down. Aizawa then drew up a bar chart of the amount of Hero requests that each of us got.  I got 400. Todoroki got the most, and Bakugou got the second most. 

"Hm. Mayhaps being chained to a podium must deter some hero scouts, methinks." I say jokingly. This earns a snicker from Midoriya before Bakugou gets pissy. Quickly we settle down and Midnight comes in, telling us that we're going to pick our names and how they're going to cement how close to us they are. Or something I dont know. Up first is Aoyama. This guy an odd one, I wonder what he has.

"I Cannot Stop Twinkling, will be my hero name!" 

That makes it sound like he's a vampire or something. Next up is Ashido with Alien Queen before being shot down. People then got riled up and went up one after the other. Problem is, I have no clue what my name should be. I looked at Midoriya and she quickly hid her board close to her chest.

"Damn, I guess I'm the only one who has no clue on what to pick." I say, before resting my head on the table. Midoriya gently pats me on the head. before coming to an idea.

"Hey, do you remember what you told me about your quirk when we first met in middle school?" 

"No, not really."

"Here I have it written down."

"What?" I say not sure if I could hear that correctly.

"Anyways, it says here that the way your body absorbs nonsolids is similar to a vortex or a black hole. S-So maybe t-try one of those as a hero name? T-Those are just suggestions though, you dont have t-to t-take my idea." She says sheepishly. I ponder it over before nodding and jotting down something. More people go by until it's just me, Midoriya and Iida left. I offer to go up and display my name.

"Here's my hero name." I say, flipping the board around.

'The Singularity Hero, Vortex'

"I had help coming up with this one. But I like it a lot."

"Oooh, it sounds rather mature and complex!"

"No, it doesn't." I thought to myself. I go back and take a seat thanking Midoriya for the suggestions.

"I-It's no big deal! Honest!" She says giving me a genuine smile. I felt my face heat up at this and my heart beat slightly fast before I managed to regain composure. What the hell was that all about?
