The Insectoid Hero (BNHA X Male Stun the Insect Reader)

Chapter 10: Call Signs

It was two days after the sports festival, and I was getting recognized left and right. I eventually made it to school, barely managing to make it on time. I bent over, trying to catch my breath. "You should really try to get here earlier, (Y/N)." I looked up to see Iida walking up to me.

"It'd be easier if people weren't hounding me every step of the way." I responded. "I can't go five feet without someone recognizing me and wanting an autograph or something." I said, still somewhat winded. "I know what you mean, everyone who participated in the Battle Tournament is being recognized on the street." Iida said.

Later on, we were in class waiting for Aizawa to show up. We were talking about the crazy amount of attention we were getting after the Sports Festival. "Although I guess this is a good thing. Personally, I'm glad that everyone is accepting me. It's nice to know the public is on my side." I say.

"And so they should be. I'm sure you'll be a great hero one day." Iida tells me. "By the way, I heard Aizawa has a special announcement today. I wonder what it'll be." I say. "Well, if everyone would take their seats you'd find out." Aizawa said, as he came through the classroom door. I noticed he didn't have his bandages anymore.

Everyone quickly took their seats. "As you may have heard, I have an announcement. Today for your Hero Informatics class, you'll be choosing your Hero Name." This got everyone excited.

"This is due to the nominations of Pro Heroes. Think of them like an expression of interest in your futures. Usually they're pretty spread out, but this year a few students have stood out." he said, pulling up a board that showed the nominations people got. The ones who had the most were me and Todoroki.

I was surprised to say the least. I know I won the tournament, but I didn't think this many heroes would be interested in me. "Regardless of whether you received nominations or not, you'll be participating in hero internships to get hands-on experience. You may have fended off an attack at the USJ, but this will be greatly beneficial." Aizawa said. "That's right, and your Hero Name can have a big impact on your future, so you need to make sure it's right." a female voice said.

Midnight then came in the door. "I asked Midnight to come in order to evaluate your hero names. Remember that your careers as heroes rely greatly on the image you project with your hero name, so I advise you to put a lot of thought into them." Aizawa says.

We were all given a dry erase board and a marker to write our hero names, as well as 15 minutes to come up with our hero names. I thought hard about what my hero name should be. What kind of image should I project? I wanted to be a hero that people could look to and feel safe. After a few minutes, an idea for a name came to me.

After the 15 minutes passed, everyone started presenting. Aoyama went first, with the hero name "Shining Hero: I can not stop twinkling". Everyone in the class sweat dropped anime style. Midnight said she liked it, but advised him to shorten it to "Can't stop twinkling." Bakugou went next, with "King Explosion Murder". That sounds more like a villain name than a hero name, I thought to myself. Midnight rejected the name, saying it was too violent. Mina went next, sporting "Alien Queen", but got shot down as well.

Some of the other names included "Sturdy Hero: Red Riot" belonging to Kirishima, "Taping Hero: Cellophane" for Sero, and "Everything Hero: Creati" from Yaoyorozu. After Yaoyorozu, I decided to present my name. I walked to the podium. "Here's my name," I said as I turned the board around.

"The Insectoid Hero: Stun". "I like it. Combining your transformation quirk and electric quirk so seamlessly into your hero name." Midnight said. Everyone else presented their name and class ended.

Today was also the day I finally got my hero costume. I had designed it so it wouldn't obstruct me when I had to fight, but matched with my fighting style.
