My Hero Academia: EMTs

Extra Credit: Mentorship

Two weeks later,

Katsuki Bakugo:

Another dull day of class. It's primarily academics today- hence boring. But it all adds up, so I pay attention. I will be Japan's next number-one hero- if not the world's number-one. If that's gonna happen, nothing can slip through the cracks. Nothing.

When the professor's daughter first showed up, I got worried. I've seen this movie before, and I didn't like the ending. The whole class could suddenly start to revolve around the person with the most reasons to stand out: underage, related to the professor, a trauma story- it's all perfect for her to become the main character- and heck no, that will not happen. She's just an extra. This is the story of MY rise.

Course, maybe I was overreacting. Hotaru is slowly fading into the background. Every time we train, she sits in the bleachers and just studies or draws dumb comics to amuse herself. Sometimes, she'll cheer someone on, but that's the extent of her participation. Honestly, I'm disappointed in myself for getting worked up about her being here.

I've seen the worksheets she does while the rest of us are studying, and they're just stuff for a regular middle schooler. She's not even that good at any of it. If she has to get in on her own merits in two years, then at the rate she's going- good luck, brat, you'll need it.

I quickly finish my math worksheet, doing the extra credit questions. Most kids do those only if they feel they might be behind, a kind of cushion to make sure they get a good grade. I do them because every point counts. Falling behind isn't an option. I will be the best.

And... done! I turn over my answer sheet so no one can cheat off my paper.

I get curious- what's the brat doing? I look over at her answer sheet. Professor Aizawa sees me doing it but probably doesn't care. It's not like I can cheat off her. Let's see... beginner fraction multiplication. Huh... probably about right for a sixth-grader. And how is she doing on them- wow... maybe the professor should put her back where he found her.

"Time's up. Pass your papers to the front of the room," says the professor. Gladly.

"Professor, Hotaru isn't handing in her paper. She-" Momo begins, but she's cut off.

"It's you who wanted her to be physically in the class. She's not part of the class. Just because you're all taking a quiz doesn't mean she is."

Freaking dummies. I figured that part out the day the brat got here. The professor literally said she would just be studying in the corner. I'm unsure why so many classmates keep trying to include her.

Mr. Aizawa takes the quizzes and then returns a stack of papers to Ida, the class leader. "Pass these around, please. They're extra credit assignments for the rest of the year." Ida does as instructed as the professor turns to the class, "These do not come before your regular assignments and cannot be used as excuses to not participate in training. I will not permit taking two extra credit assignments; I had a student try that once, and it was more trouble than it was worth."

I listen closely to the rules. Right, I need to find the assignment that gives me the most points. My finger travels down the page. Let's see... report on a significant hero, including dates, significant achievements, political beliefs, and why they're important to you specifically... Fifty points- not worth the effort.

Make a presentation... 70 points... better.

Research a correctional facility in person, 150... now we're talking.

Mentor, 100 points... per year, though, so long term, that's 400 points... and I can get more points for doing well.

Why would I get more points over time for babysitting? Let's see; you must help a child at least two years your junior in three areas of struggle, improving their grades at least one letter grade in each area. If the area of struggle is not a graded subject, such as weight loss, an applicable standard will be discussed.
