[F for Koda (yes i am in fact gonna say this anytime he shows up)]

[If you don't get it, it's a reference to the South Park episode where the boys start fourth grade. It's supposed to highlight how obvious (Y/n)'s hero name is. It is obvious...right?]

The next day (Y/n) was walking towards UA with Shinso after Aizawa dropped them off at the parking lot of UA.

"So, yeah...I used your mask on international TV. My bad." Shinso explained.

(Y/n)'s eyes lit up and held Shinso by the shoulders, " NEKOSHI! I could kiss you!" (Y/n) screamed excitedly.

Shinso blushed red, but tried to cover it up by fake coughing into his fist to clear his throat.

(Y/n) let go of Shinso and started beaming, "Now AFO will assume that anyone can use the mask! He got to see what it can do! So no doubt he'll want it for himself! It's perfect."

Shinso composed himself, "Good to know, but the bell rings soon so walk."

Shinso said to pull (Y/n) by the arm.

(Y/n) smiled as they were being dragged, "Oh yeah we gained a new ally! A man called Yagi. He has connections to the big M."

Shinso raised an eyebrow, "You gonna let me in on that?"

"Duh, but it'll have to wait until after school." (Y/n) said walking next to Shinso holding the strap of their bookbag.

"Why not lunch?" Shinso asked.

"How quickly you forget about your MCR-bestie." (Y/n) smirked.

"Oh, right." Shinso caught on, "Fine, but we're still planning in the HKD at lunch right?"

"Obviously, it'll be a good opportunity to speak in code in public! We're like secret agents!" (Y/n) beamed.

Shinso chuckled, "Whatever weirdo. See you."

(Y/n) said their goodbyes as the pair split up to talk towards their respective classes.

(Y/n) got to class and sat down where they had a conversation with their classmates about.

It was a minute before the bell, but something felt...off.

'Wouldn't Iida usually be telling everyone to sit down by now?' (Y/n) thought.

(Y/n) turned to Tokoyami who sat next to them and whispered, "Hey, is something up with Iida?"

Tokayami lifted an eyebrow, "Are you not aware?...His brother was attacked by the Hero Killer."

(Y/n) straightened in their desk, 'The Hero Killer? What's that?'

The bell rang and Aizawa walked, being greeted by the class, he ignored them and started talking.

(Y/n) sneakily pulled out their phone and hid it from Aizawa's view. They typed in "Hero Killer" into the search bar. And they saw it. The news report of an attack on a hero "Ingenium" aka...Tensei Iida.

Tensei was alive, but permanently disabled.

'Yikes....that's...horrible.' (Y/n) thought gripping their phone a little tighter.

The Hero Killer, Stain apparently, targeted what he referred to as "fake heroes". He was in a bit of a rampage and Tensei was the most recent name on the list.

(Y/n) didn't wanna admit it, but they kinda understood what Stain was pointing out. They were always aware of hero merch and how much press coverage heroes got and honestly...fair. But it was a bit much. Did heroes really need to be featured everytime they stopped a simple robbery? It seemed the heroes even competed for the attention...that's not very honorable.
