To Be A Hero: A Mha Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 16

“Come join the kendo club! ”

“Hey, you look like a runner, join the cross country club”

“The chess club is where it’s at”

Nothing is at the chess club.

“Join the basket ball club! ”

Shino was surrounded by upper classmen looking to recruit into their clubs. She noticed each and everyone of them before they even stepped foot in her direction and made no move to avoid them. She actually wanted to see what UA offers when it comes to club. Like any other school they have a multitude of clubs, including the student council club.

After her run in with the older students Shino found herself walking to her class with different club doc.u.ments. She didn’t even know how she got them, but she had them

She’ll just deal them through her class.

“Good morning Shino” Momo greeted the other with a kind smile. The sentiment was returned as Shino placed her backpack on her seat.

“I was harassed by the older students” Shino said bluntly as she dropped the doc.u.ments on her desk. “They somehow got me to take all of these”

Momo giggled at the statement and the puzzled look Shino wore as she tried to figure out how she got those doc.u.ments.

“Will you be joining any clubs, Momo? ”

“I’m not sure, how about you? ”

“The soccer and music club” Shino said as she started to walk around the class. She headed straight toward Jiro, who was in a conversation with Kaminari.

“Good morning you two” Shino greeted as she approached them. “I somehow ended up with all these club doc.u.ments and decided to deal them out. Jiro I think you might be interested in the music club as I am”

Jirou took the paper with a smile. She looked pleased to got her hand on one of them.

“Thank you, I was trying to get a hold on one of these”

“Kaminari, I don’t know if you’re interested in anything so you’re free to just pick one of these”

“Nah, I don’t think I’ll join a club”

Shino didn’t stick around after that. She moved on to the other person in sight.

“Good morning Kosei, would you be interested in joining the art club? ” Shino rested the doc.u.ment on the smaller girl’s desk.

She was quiet as she looked at the paper and nodded with a small blush on her face.

“T-thank you”

“Not a problem. Why are you sitting by yourself? ”

The pinkness on her cheek intensified as she fidgeted in her seat.

“Ah, a shy one” Shino chuckled. “OK, I’ll be back”

Shino moved along and located Tsuyu. She slid into the seat in front of her, gaining her attention.

“Good morning Asui” She smiled. “I got a favor to ask”

Those big eyes stared at her in thought. Shino was not at all affected by that vacant froggy stare.

“What is it? ”

“You know Kosei”Shino pointed in the direction of the girl and immediately looked away and tried to make herself as small as possible. Shino chuckled at that. She reminded her of Hinata from Naruto. “She’s very shy and too afraid to make friends. I will happily be her friend and as her friend I am helping her find more friends. Please talk to her. I think you two would get along great”

Shino actually couldn’t tell what Tsuyu was thinking and chose not to invade her thoughts. She knew what kind of person she is and how much she respects friends. If anyone should be Ren’s friemd it should be her.

“OK. ”

Shino fistbumped the air in joy. “You hear that, Kosei? ”

Said girl smiled weakly and looked very nervous.

“Kiddo”

Shino’s attention was brought back to Tsuyu.

“Please call me Tsu”

Shino grinned and nodded. “Then you need to call me Shino or Hiro. Either one is perfectly fine”

“Can I call you Shihiro? ”

“Of course you can” Shino held a thumbs up. “Anyways, I gotta finish my self given job now”

Shino made sure the two short girls got to talking and was happy to see Ren relax a little. She stared at them for some time just admiring the cuteness of the mouse and frog.

Moving on Shino approached Kirishima who was in a conversation with a not so angry Katsuki and Sora. The thing about those two is that they are rivals and don’t seem to like each other, and yet they always hang out together.

“Yo, Shino”

“What do you want, ya dumb sloth”

“What is it with you and that name? “Shino questioned.

“It’s probably because of your sleeping habits”

“Obviously, but still” Shino sighed and handed Kirishima a doc.u.ment. “I have a ton of these and need to give them away. Are you interested in the boxing or wrestling club? ”

Kirishima looked at each of them with a pensive expression. Each of them seemed very appealing to him, but he would choose just one.

“I’ll take the boxing club. It’s super manly! ”

“Whatever you want, you manly man”

Shino went around dealing out doc.u.ments. Sora jumped for the video game club. Akio decided to join the the kendo club. Daichi went for the baseball and soccer club.Mina joined the dance club. Aoyama, unsurprisingly joined the drama club. Katsuki wasn’t interested in doing stupid activities with a bunch of “extras”. Sometimes Shino wonders how they have remained friends over the years. Izuku wasn’t sure which club to join.

“My job is done” Shino placed herself back in her seat with a sighed and fished for a sweet treat. She pulled a chocolate bar out of her backpack and was delighted. She could be a child when it comes to her love for candy. “Chocolate will rule the world one day”

Momo couldn’t help but giggle at that statement. Shino really has a way of saying the most randomest things. Sometimes they can be very ridiculous to the point of being complete nonsense.

“Want a piece? “Shino offered the chocolate bar.

“If you don’t mind”

“Of course I don’t mind. I offered it” Shino laughed. “How many times do we have this same conversation? It was the exact same thing when we first met”

Momo laughed along with her at the realization. It was indeed a frequent conversation. Shino likes to share and Momo being Momo has to be polite.

“I would like a piece. Chocolate is my favorite after all”

“Indeed. Chocolate is the best and it’s the reason we bonded. ”

“You’re exaggerating again”

“No I’m not” Shino said defiantly. “Go ahead take a bite”

With a glance at the grinning Shino, Momo took a bite off the chocolate bar. She was delighted by the taste. There seemed to be strawberry inside. She couldn’t help the satisfied m.o.a.n that slipped her.

“Delicious ”

Shino took her own bite and was in the same state as Momo.

“Absolutely ”

“Shino I see you! “Sora shouted with that sly smile.

“Congratulations, you have eyes”

The rest of the day went by pretty normally. The day was like any other at a normal school and it was a surprise to most kids. Shino couldn’t care less. She hadn’t been to school up until UA so naturally she didn’t mind. Apparently the same went for her other friends. She didn’t have a problem with the lessons or any of the teacher. The only issue she had was Present Mic’s loud voice. Izuku seemed to suffer through English as well.

That day they found out what Sora’s mother, Emiko taught.

When she walked into the class Sora brightened up, but kept his cool. Everyone’s jaw dropped when she entered the class and Shino caught the starstruck look on Daichi’s face.

“Holy crap it’s Scarlet Witch”

Shino smiled when she heard the name as she always does. Emiko’s hero name and powers clearly resembled those of the scarlet witch from the Avengers. Sora having both her quirk and that of All Might just makes him overpowered. Although he doesn’t have all her abilities.

“Good morning class, you obviously know who I am” she smiled bright. Her blazing red hair was left long and flowing as usual. Green eyes glimmered with emotion. Her suit was tight enough to give credit to the well defined curves, but not tight enough to compare to Nemuri’s risque look. “I will be teaching you all the history of quirk evolution along with the science of quirks”

Shino grinned. The science of quirk was basically the fuel for her quirk. She studied it for years and was hoping UA would have that study as well. She was sure to ace this subject completely.

Emiko was a fun teacher. Sora gets his loud voice and the huge smile from his father, but he obviously gets his cheerfulness and smarts from his mother. Emiko found a way to make the most boring subject of any world the most interesting by turning it into a game. She used her quirk freely to assist her in this. The students attention never wavered from her for the entire lesson.

Lunch came around soon after and Shino found herself at a table with a couple of her classmates. The usual friend group was there along with some new auditions. Daichi, Akio and surprisingly Ren decided to come sit with her. Tusyu, Jiro and Mina joined as well. Kaminari was there to hang with Bakugo. Uraraka and Iida were friends of Izuku and seemed to want to hang around Shino as well. Tokoyami came with Akio and Kaminari tagged with Jiro. It was an interesting group.

Shino caught Shoto’s eye from across the room. The boy was sitting on his own in a corner, eating a traditional Japanese meal. She wanted him to come sit with them, but let him be. She’ll get to talk to him eventually and hopefully become his friend and talk some sense into his emotional head.

Shino was quiet for most of the conversation. She was too focused on enjoying her food to pay the rest any mind. As she ate she suddenly thought of a genius quirk and immediately pulled out the notebook she carried around. It was a hobby similar to that of Izuku. But instead of analyzing the quirks of others Shino came up with her own, or broke down the quirks of others. She broke them down to study the science behind it and what cells could have been created or mutated for the quirk to exist.

While writing her ideas down she completely forgot about her food.

Momo noticed this. The last time Shino did such a thing she was low on her sugar and had to go through a ton of sweets to build it up.

“Shino, don’t forget to eat”

Shino nodded in response but didn’t look up from her notebook or make any motion to eat her lunch.

Momo sighed and retrieved the forgotten chopsticks.

“Open”

With Momo’s command Shino opened her mouth and let Momo feed her all the while never looking away from her notebook.

“She forgets to eat? Who forgets to eat? Food is the reason to live. Food is life and food is love” Daichi spoke dramatically while he shuffled food into his mouth.

“You’ll choke” Akio said as he calmly ate his rice.

Daichi did not listen and continued to inhale his food. Akio didn’t make any effort to warn him after that and only watched him choke on his food with a calm expression.

“I told you so”

Shino was unaware of it all and continued to scribble down her idea for an impressive quirk. Her attention was only brought back to the table when a certain question was asked.

“Why do you guys want to be heroes? ”

“Why? “Akio asked.

“Yeah, everyone has their reason right? ”

“The fame, power and money! “Katsuki cackled and was punched in the chest by Sora.

“I want to be a hero to reduce the number of orphaned children” Was Akio’s answer as he looked somber for a moment. “Some go to the orphanage. Some end up on the streets. Some get taken in by trash who dare call themselves human. Some get treated worse than the dirt we walk on. Siblings are spit up. Others are forced to enter the life of crime. I want to put a stop that all of it”

Shino glanced at him. The usual calm expression was gone and replaced by one of anger and sorrow. She sighed and looked away from the information in front of her. She would not stick her nose in his business. It was not her right to do so even if it was displayed in front of her.

“My reason isnt as righteous as yours” Daichi laughed a bit. “I just want to become a hero so my family could see how great heroes can be. For some reason they hate them. Well I guess maybe it’s because… “Daichi trailed off having lost his smile.

Ren was too shy or embarrassed to state her reason for being a hero.

“What about you Kiddo? ”

What about her? Why did she want to be a hero? Because her parents are heroes? Because it’s something every kid wants? Because it’s the highest honor one can achieve? Or is it just because she was born into this world of heroes?

“I’ll have to come back to you on that”
