The Hero's Stand

5: Class Rep

"Did you see the media outside earlier?" Asked Tsuyu to Aoyama "They were everywhere. I hope the pros can deal with them."

Honestly I had seen the media on my arrival and had shamelessly activated The World to freeze time and jump the gate around the place. I'm sure they had sensors to tell if people tried to jump it but because time had been stopped I technically wasn't there as far as the sensors were concerned.

I looked out the window to see a group of pro heroes including midnight and cementos trying to calm the crowds, who had finally started their siege on the school after learning All Might's new teaching position existed. Things must have been rough for those who didn't have a Star Platinum.

Mr Aizawa took his place at the front of the class.

"I'm sure you've all noticed the media's interest in our school."

He said interest in such a way that it was obvious he had a distaste for them, to put it lightly.

"This will hopefully have no effect on your studies" he continued "the pros will be able to get them away by the end of the day if we're lucky. It'd be even earlier if the principle would let them talk to All Might. Unfortunately he seems to think they'd tear him to bits or something."

"What are we doing today?" Asked Ashido

"If you would be patient then I'd get on to that. Today I've got a task that I can't help you with. You're on your own with this one."

"What is it sir?" Asked Kirishima

"You kids need to learn to be quiet when a grown-up is talking. Today you'll be deciding on a class representative for the rest of the year. I don't care how you do it. Just decide by the end of the day."

He climbed into his yellow sleeping bag and caterpillared over to the wall before falling asleep on the spot.

Everybody burst into conversations and arguments about who it should be that went on for a good while. Many ideas got sent around, all being tested by Yaoyorozu before inevitably being shot down.

"CLEARLY IT SHOULD BE ME!" shouted Kacchan "YOU EXTRAS CAN'T HANDLE THE SPOT!"

"No offence Bakugo" said Ururaka "but I don't think anyone in their right minds would vote for you to become a class representative."

"Yeah dude" said Kirishima "You're too... charismatic for the job."

"AND WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN SHITTY HAIR!"

Iida stood up.

"We need to figure out a way to elect someone democratically. I personally suggest a vote."

"Yeah" I said "that idea makes sense"

"Thank you Midoriya"

"If we did a vote then there would definitely be a winner who had the respect of the class" said Ururaka, already knowing who she'd vote for.

"We could give it a shot, but won't people just vote for themselves?" Asked Yaoyorozu

"Does anyone have a better idea?" I said

There was silence.

One vote later

Yaoyorozu stood at the front of the class, covering the chalkboard.

"The results are here. In first place is Izuku with three votes!"

I looked confused as the class either congratulated me or looked on in jealousy.

Who'd vote for me? I thought

I turned to see Ururaka with a pink face, avoiding my gaze.
