The Emperor's Dragon

Management Studies

Izuku had long ago perfected a look for class where he wasn't really paying attention but it had to look like he was. He adopted that look when his class did things they obviously thought were necessary but he had no real interest in. Picking out the class representative was one of those times. He didn't think his dad would mind. Sure, technically it was a position of power, but in practice all it meant was he had to go to extra meetings and organise the chore roster. It had no power. Dad had shown him how to evaluate a position for the benefit. Class Representative was one of those things that looked good but...

As a result, when he'd been given his slip of paper to fill out his vote, he'd just made a random scribble on it so that people could see he was voting and then put it in the voting box. Their teacher, former Pro-Hero Manager of Best Jeanist, Endeavor, Ms Joke, Backdraft and Fourth Kind, had counted the votes. She was apparently managing Fat Gum now but indicated with such an experienced Hero, it didn't take long. Izuku translated that statement to mean that Fat Gum wasn't as temperamental as some of the other heroes. He did have to admit though, that she had managed a wide variety of heroes. Her experience would be good for the class. He was looking forward to comparing her management lessons to those his dad had given him.

"In runner up and as Vice Class Representative we have Zellia Du Ed," Ms Kanri paused to let the class applaud politely. Izuku gave the girl a nod when she stood and bowed as he clapped with the rest of them.

"And as our Class Representative we have Mitei Chui!"

Wait? What? Izuku had actually clapped twice before he realised that was him. He blinked and the sudden sea of faces smiling at him. He hadn't nominated so how had he- Internally Izuku sighed. Everything had ranks and apparently Windy Chui ranked high in the business world. For a moment he wondered if he should reject it but then realised that a normal management student would be thrilled to be elected Class Representative and he was a normal management student..

He rose and bowed, copying Zellia's actions. "Thank you," he told his fellow classmates. "I will endeavour to be a Representative for us all," he said before he sat back down.

The words earned him a funny look from some of his classmates but Ms Kanri looked like she knew what he was talking about. He wondered if she'd skewed the results.

"Home room is over," she announced. "Zellia and Mitei, please stay for a moment," Ms Kanri instructed as the rest of the class rose and shuffled out to their next class.

"Ms Kanri?" Izuku asked when the last of his classmates went out the door.

"Congratulations, both of you," she said, smiling warmly. Ms Kanri had pale purple hair which she wore in a bun and had a complicated pattern in her green, oval shaped eyes.

Izuku decided to test a theory. When he'd last fought Gatarui, he'd seen that the spider quirk was spread all over his body. Other quirks were more centralised and he thought that it meant mutant quirks were spread all through the owner's body. He wasn't sure what type of quirk Ms Kanri had but he was reasonably sure they would find out. He looked at her with Dragon's Hoard for a moment. Her quirk was spread throughout her body so he was going to say that she had a mutant quirk. He'd find out if he was right later.

"Thank you," Izuku said with a smile.

"Being Class Representative isn't that onerous," she told them. "You organise the chores and attend an occasional meeting. There's nothing to be concerned about with them. It's usually just a way of passing information to the school," she explained.

"I'll be sure to support Mitei," Zellia said.

"Thank you," Izuku told her with a smile. "Is there anything we need to do now?" he asked Ms Kanri.
