"Warning. Level three security breach." An automated voice announced over the speakers, "All students, please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion."

"What?" I mumbled, wondering what that could mean.

"What's a level three security beach?" Iida asked the upperclassman that was next to him.

"It means someone's managed to get past the school's barriers." He answered, panic in his voice and fear in his eyes. "This hasn't happened in my three years here. We should get going!" Then, he jumped out of his seat and ran off, leaving us by ourselves.

I shared a worried glance with my friends. "Come on," I said, my voice filled with concern, "we should probably go too. This could be bad."

"Ok." The other three agreed.

The four of us quickly made our way to the hallway, but it was filled, wall to wall, with students, and we were instantly pulled into the crowd. Students were shoving each other in panic while they tried to get out of the school.

"Ow!" Uraraka exclaimed as she was shoved by the students. "This is a total mob!"

"Everyone was quick to react. It's just what I'd expect from UA students!" Iida stated.

"Sure! But they're also causing a huge panic!" Midoriya pointed out.

"Yeah, everyone's worried that there's a break-in," I yelled over the loud, panicked voices of the other students. "But this is definitely not how this should be happening."

"I can't stop!" Midoriya shouted as he was pulled away from the group.

"No! Deku!" Uraraka yelled, her voice filled with worry for her friend.

Seconds later, I was also pulled away from the group. I try to get out of the sea of students by heading back toward the cafeteria, but the waves of students stopped me. After I made a few more attempts to move my way through the crowd, but soon gave up and just tried not to get hit by someone. But I wasn't able to do much to prevent getting rammed into another student.

"Hey! Watch it!" I turned my head to see Bakugo yelling at me.

"Sorry," I said, trying to get back to Uraraka and Iida, only to be pushed around some more.

"It's like a wave of students that doesn't stop," I mumbled to myself as I was pushed around. 'It is a wave of students that doesn't stop.'

Soon, everyone seemed to slow down and look up at the exit sign. I follow suit to see what was up there and I was surprised to see Iida standing on top of the exit sign.

"Listen up, everything is ok!" Iida yelled, getting every student's attention, causing the few people that were still moving to stop. "It's just the media outside. There's absolutely nothing to be worried about. Everything is fine! We're UA students we need to remain calm and prove that we're the best of the best."

"Of course it was  the press." I sighed, then paused and thought. 'Wait, if it was just the press how did they manage to get past the school gates? They must've shoved their way past it or something. But that wouldn't have worked, right? So how...' I lightly shook my head to keep from thinking of some terrible scenario.

Soon everyone was going back to the cafeteria to continue eating. I decided to linger behind in the hallway to look outside. I looked out the window and my eyes widened when I saw what was out there. A section of the school's barrier was gone. And when I looked closer I saw that it was in pieces on the floor where the section should've been. Someone had disintegrated the wall to let the press in.

'How could this happen. There's no way the press could do something like that... Right?' I took a deep breath as a thought came to me. 'There's no way it could've been a villain, right? Does that mean there's a villain in the school?'  I continued to stare down at the disintegrated barrier. I could hear my speeding, heart pounding in my chest. By now, only a few other people were still in the hallway.

"Hey, Hiromi. Come on, your foods going to get cold." Urarakak told me from the cafeteria's doorway. I turn around and looked at her. She must've seen how worried I looked because she looked at me with concern in her eyes and asked, "Are you ok? You look like you were just attacked by a villain or something."

"Oh... I'm ok, just, I thought about something that could've happened today. But it's nothing. Let's go back to the table." I replied, calming down.

"Ok..." Uraraka said, still seeming a little worried.

Then she led the way back to our table. I glanced back at the gate with a worried look before following her. 'I really hope I'm just overthinking things.'

After lunch, Midoriya and Yaoyorozu stood at the front of the class when we were back in the classroom.

"It's time class rep. Let's begin." Yaoyorozu said.

"Um, ok so. we need to figure out who the other class officers will be." Midoriya started, looking terrified. "But first, there's something that I wanna say. I've thought a lot about this, and I think that Tenya Iida should be our class rep!" Midoriya stated, suddenly not looking so scared. "He was able to capture everyone's attention and get us in line. So I believe, that he should be the one leading our class from now on!"

I looked over at Iida and smiled. He was definitely well suited for the job and, as Midoriya had said, he was able to get everything back in order earlier.

I was still worried about what I saw earlier. If there really were villains involved, are we all in danger, or am I just overthinking everything? Maybe it was just the press. That was probably all it was.

"Yeah, you know what? If Midoriya vouches for him, I'm good." Kirishima said, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Plus he was a big help. He totally manned up and took charge, right?"

"Yep." Kaminari agreed. "Oh, and did you notice he looked like the dude on the emergency exit signs when he was on the wall earlier?"

"This is a waste of time. I don't care who the rep is, just hurry up." Aizawa said suddenly, before going back to laying on the floor.

"If Midoriya is nominating me for this job, then I humbly accept," Iida announced, standing up. "I pledge to carry out the duties of class rep to the best of my abilities."

"Sounds good emergency exit," Kirishima said.

"Emergency Exit Iida, don't let us down man!" Kaminari exclaimed.

 'He definitely is the best pick for this job' I thought, with a small smile. Then, the class went on as normal.
