My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 2

Chapter 18: Preparing for Sports Festival

One week later

Well, last week got pretty eventful after Zota was beat up, Hagita was no longer at the school anymore. He got kicked out and brought to god only knows where by Bakugou-Sensei and Principal Iida the day after since he apparently tried to kill Sakura... The two broke up and... I think we finally had our old Sakura back. I've seen her hanging out with Zota a lot more which is nice, Zota really is crazy for her... In a good way compared to Hagita that is.

As for Suraki and our talk? It went over pretty well, he was very understanding of how I was feeling and helped me recover a bit from what Hagita put in my head that day, hell what Zota said while I was crying in the grass pretty much fixed me right up. As for what I was doing right at the current moment? I was on my way to Todoroki-Sensei's agency to check if he was free today.

My footsteps echoed off the marble floor as I made my way to the elevators, the first floor intern recognized me so she let me right through to see Todoroki. I stepped into the elevator and pushed in the button that lead to Todoroki's floor, leaning against the back of the elevator and closing my eyes to take a few moments to relax. The elevator stopped on many other floors to pick up passengers or let other passengers go, on my way up though. Someone stepped into the elevator that had a pretty familiar voice.

"Nosido? Heyy kid, what are you doing here?" I opened my eyes to see Void stepping into the elevator while he spoke to me. He was dressed into his hero costume, in a way it kind of looked like a high tech space suit with a pretty cool looking helmet and visor he wore. Kinda makes sense with his name being Void and all. As for me, I was just dressed in some workout clothes. A Tank-top and sweatpants.

"I'm here to do some extra training with Todoroki-Sensei for the week to get ready for the Sports Festival. I have permission from Bakugou-Sensei and Principal Iida to come here for the week instead of doing training at school if he accepts."

"Really? That's sweet! I wish I could help out with your training too, but I'm usually out on patrols or doing rescues so I don't have much time while on duty." Void chuckled, rubbing the back of my neck before standing beside me.

"I like your costume." Void looked at me as I made the comment, smiling a bit.

"Thanks, the idea came from how some people call space a Void so, tadaa." He chuckled, shaking his head and taking his helmet off to let his hair flow free. Though it looked pretty messy right now, he quickly started to fix it. "Do you have a ponytail or something on you? I normally would but forgot to grab one this morning."

"No, sorry... Hey, did you go to UA? If so, what was the Sports Festival like?"

"The Sports Festival?" He glanced at me before tilting his head back and looking up at the light on the ceiling of the elevator, having his pointer finger rested on his chin as he thought. "Well... Sports Festival helps hero agencies scout out internship candidates. Overall, it's a pretty nerve racking but yet electrifying experience. People all over the city come to watch if they have the time."

"Really? Sheesh... Here's hoping I don't crack under the pressure after all that's happened."

"Oh don't worry about that, Nosido. I know you'll do just fine!" I looked up at Void, smiling and nodding.

"Thanks, Akio." He nodded, the elevator stopping and the doors opening up.

"Welp, this is my floor. I'll see you later, Nosido." He put his hand out for a fistbump and I was quick to give him one, he smiled again and stepped out onto a floor with a lot of cubicles and a few other heroes by the seems. After a minute or so, the doors closed again and I was back on my way up to Todoroki's office floor.
