MHA: A Cat's Way

Ch 38 Presidency

On my way to class with Toru and Mina, we can hear a commotion over by the gate. Since we have time, we wander over in that direction and see a mob of reporters crowding the school's entrance. Immediately I turn on my heel and start walking back towards the building, quickly followed by my friends. "Nya-ope. Nyat dealing with that today."

Mr. Aizawa starts the class off by going over a few of our matches from yesterday. He praises Midorinya's strategy, and tells Bakugou not to be a baby just because he lost his match. As for me...

"Make sure you don't take it too far during training. You seriously hurt your opponents yesterday. If we didn't have Recovery Girl as the school nurse, they would have had to go to the hospital to get treated."

I flick my tail dismissively. "I took that into consideration, nya. It's why only one cat nya'd up a hairball instead of more of them."

He blinks for a moment, so I explain. "That's what I decided to call the energy balls my mage cats nya. My mage cats now nya hairballs."

After staring at me for another second, he just looks away and continues class. "Let's get down to business. Our first task will decide your future." He pauses to let everyone's minds go wherever they go before continuing. "You need to pick a class representative."

There's a collective sigh of relief before everyone erupts into shouting why they should be the ones to be picked. I just roll my eyes.

Other than getting extra work, being class representative is a way to get noticed by pro heroes once you graduate. It basically ensures that you'll have a spot in an established agency once you graduate.

The thought makes me smirk though. I don't plan to join one when I graduate, instead I'll go solo. Sure, it's more difficult for solo heroes, but ones like Mirko prove that it's viable. Ignore the fact that she's a crazy battle maniac. And that the others all have some screws loose. That means nothing.

Besides, I have my cats, so I'm basically a hero force unto myself. Actually, that gives me an idea for my hero name...

I'm pulled from my thoughts by a piece of paper being placed on my desk. Blinking in surprise, I look at the person who gave it to me. Sighing, Momo explains.

Huh. So we're voting for class representative? I don't really care, so let's go with someone most people wouldn't expect, but will still be fun.

Writing their name down, I walk up and put it in the box. And the results end up:

Catia Akihiro 5

Izuku Midoriya 3

Mina Ashido 3

Seeing the results, I can't help but blink in surprise. "What the nya? How in the nya did I manage to nya five votes? I didn't even vote for myself!"

Iida, fists clenched on his desk, responds through gritted teeth. "That just means that you are truly the one best suited to lead the class."

Shrugging, I follow Mr Aizawa's directions and step up to the front of the class along with Midorinya and Mina. "Catia is your class representative, and her deputies are Midoriya and Ashido."

Since I'm class rep anyways... "First order of business is to nyap until lunch! So says the class rep, nya!"

Iida slams his hands on his desk as he abruptly stands. "That is not how a class representative should act! Moreover, you do not have the authority to-"

"I'll allow it. Though you don't have to sleep if you don't want to. But if you wake me up, there will be consequences." Mr. Aizawa's words float out of his cocoon, forcing Iida to stop his complaints. Smirking at him, I head over to my desk and put my head down on my arms, happy with my little abuse of power.
