Third Person POV

After the news about All Might teaching at U.A. had spread, the press came to the front door, badgering every student that passed by about what he was like as a teacher.

About 20 microphones were being shoved in Y/N's face as she tried to enter the building.

"Is All Might a good teacher?"

"Does he favor you since you were first in the entrance exam?"

"What is his deepest secret?"

"TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT HIM! I NEED RATINGS!"

The girl just rubbed her temples as she stepped inside the school grounds.

The media is so annoying. All they want is gossip and shallow stories.

"Decent work on yesterday's combat training guys."

Homeroom had started, with Mr. Aizawa looking as worn out as ever.

"I saw video feeds and went over each of your team's results. Bakugo. You're talented. So don't sulk like a child about your loss, okay?"

"Yeah, whatever." He scoffed.

"And Midoriya. I see the only way you own the match was messing your arm up again. Work harder. And don't give me the excuse that you don't have control over your Quirk. It's already getting old. You can't keep breaking your body while you train here. But your Quirk will be very useful if you can get a handle on it. So show a little urgency, huh?"

"Right!" Midoriya responded.

"Let's get down to business. Our first task will decide your future."

A hush fell over the room as they anxiously awaited what the teacher would say. Was it another Quirk test?

"You all need to pick a class representative."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Pick me guys!" Kirishima blurted out. "I want to be Class Rep!"

"I'll take it." Kaminari raised his hand.

"Yeah, you're gonna need me." Jiro added.

"Someone with style would be best—" Aoyama began.

"I'm totally the right pick!" Ashido interrupted.

Everyone was raising their hand, wanting to get picked. Even Bakugo.

"Silence everyone! Please!" Iida shouted.

Surprisingly, the noise ceased.

"The Class Rpresentative's duty is to lead others. It's not something just anyone can do. You must first have the trust of every student in the classroom. Therefore, the most logical way to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose our leader."

Well. We can clearly see who wants it the most. Y/N thought to herself.

"Is this really the best idea?" Kaminari questioned.

"Do you have a better one, Kaminari? Like whoever says 'pick me' the loudest?" Y/N said.

"Sounds good to me!" He gave her a thumbs up, and she snickered.

"We've only known each other a few days! How do we know who we can trust!" Asui chimed in.

"Besides, everyone will just vote for themselves." Kirishima said.

"Most people will. But that means whosoever does get multiple votes will truly be the most suitable person for the job. It's the best way, right sir?" Iida said to Mr. Aizawa.
