"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it."

— Albus Dumbledore

    Now in the classroom, lunch had finally finished and everyone settled down into their respective seats. The tension in the air was the calm after the storm type, the storm being the incident that had happened early on and the calmness was everyone sighing in relief that the day was halfway over and that they were safe from harm.

    In front of the class on the podium stood Midoriya and Yaoyorozu, Midoriya was sweating bullets as his eyes practically bulged out of his eye sockets. His back was slumped and he was a mess, everyone could tell that easily but decided not to mention it out of respect. The girl beside him kept a neutral face while side-eyeing him and by the look in her eyes I could tell she was irritated and annoyed.

    I could only guess what the reasons were behind that, from becoming just the class vice president or that the boy next to her wasn't class president material(More like incompetent) or perhaps it was both maybe. Yet she still stood proudly with a perfect posture and hands wrapped around her back. 'Note to self, one of these days I'm going to learn to read minds.' I thought to myself in disdain.

"Let's begin, class president?" The girl spoke out, tired of waiting for the guy beside her to finally speak.

"N... Now we will decide on other class officers..." The boy stuttered as his voice rose high, "... But can I say something before that?"

The black haired girl turned towards him in confusion, "Eh?"

"I'm s-sorry to disappoint those who voted for me, I can't do this. I'm not fit for this position. I think... Iida Tenya should be our class president!" The boy squeaked out, his shoulders rising higher than ever that I could only cringe imagining the pain it'd cost.

Quickly wiping away that thought, I observed the scene with more intent then smiled at the sight, 'Midoriya is very thoughtful for wanting to step down from being class president so that someone else who has more potential could rise up and lead the class with the best decisions.' Turning to Todo-kun who was clearly bored from the sight, I eyed him and hummed to grab his attention.

In a whisper I said, "Interesting turn of events, don't you think?"

"Sure." He replied again monotonously but didn't even turn his head

I decided not to continue the conversation as Midoriya continued to speak in front, "Iida took control of the situation beforehand in such a cool way so I think that it's only befitting and right that he becomes the class president." This time like magic, Midoriya's nervousness disappeared as he talked about how cool Iida was with a smile on his face and eyes shining in pure admiration.

I looked towards Iida in wonder what his reaction to Midoriya's claims would be. His expressions weren't disappointing to stay the least. He took a deep breath and slightly gasped in shock at Midoriya's too kind compliments and claims though. Midoriya's words weren't an understatement though, Iida did live up to them therefore he deserved it.
