To Be A Hero: A Mha Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 19

“What kind of lesson does All Might Teach? ”

“What are your thoughts on All Might’s turn as a teacher”

“How did you feel seeing All Might standing before on the podium”

Shino was bombarded with questions the second she arrived at school and it was annoying her. There were too many people too many questions, too many sounds, too many scents and she was aware of it all. It was getting on her nerves. She tugged her scarf closer to her face and let out a calming sigh. She looked ahead of her. At the flashing cameras. The mics being pushed at her. The faces of all the annoying reporters. Another sigh and she took the hand of Momo, who was next to her. She pulled her close, wrapped an arm around her waist and with a flick of the wrist she pulled them into the sky.

“Reporters are so annoying. We are here to go to school and they’re preventing us from entering our campus” Shino grumbled as she landed past the gate. She fished for a piece of candy as she headed towards the building. “I got a headache now”

“I guess news about All Might teaching here spread fast” Momo said as she fell into step with Shino. “Although it is very unprofessional of them to crowed the front of the school little that”

“They’re reporters. That’s what they do. They annoy people to no end”

“They’re just doing their jobs Shino”

“They should do it elsewhere”

The two stopped in front of their classroom door. Shino pushed the door open and headed straight for her desk.

“You guys made it pass the horde out there” Akio said as he leaned against his desk next to Shino.

“I had to use my quirk” Shino sighed as she sat in her seat. “What about you? ”

“Tagawa teleported us both past the gate”

“Can you believe the number of reporters out there? ” Daichi said as he leaned out the window.

Shino didn’t answer and approached the quiet Shoto.

“Good morning ”

“Good morning”

Shino wasn’t expecting him to reply. She sat in the empty seat in front of him and gave him all her attention.

“How’s it going? ”

That didn’t get an answer. No surprise she figured. She didn’t leave though. She just stared at him until he looked at her.

“Stop staring at me”

“I’ll stop when you tell me how it’s going”

No answer again as he looked out the window. Shino only sat and continued to stare at him. No one can stand being stared at. It’s impossible to get comfortable when you feel someone’s eyes boring into you.

Shoto glared at her whenbhe couldn’t ignore the feeling.

“I’m fine”

“See that wasn’t so hard now was it? “Shino smiled and rested her chin in her palm.

“What do you want? ”

“Nothing really. Just wanted to see how you’re doing, since I’m such a nice person. ” Shino said. “You should make friends ya know. You’re a teenager although a very emo one”

“I’m not here to make friends”

“You’re here to become a hero, I’m aware. Why do you want to be a hero? ”

“That’s none of your business ”

“I guess your right” Shino sighed. “Another question. How do you feel now? I’m sure you thought you could take us out easily yesterday. Arrogance. But you were proven wrong. So how does that feel”

She got no answer, only a cold glare. The smile on her face never left as she met those eyes unwavering. She wasn’t going to budge or cower.

“You were recommended” Shoto said quietly. “What rank are you? ”

“My rank? Does that have any importance? ”

“What rank are you?”

“Number one” Shino answered. “And you my friend are rank number six,no? Sora is rank number two. Momo number three. Katsuki number four and Izuku five. You’re six. But you came to be the best and as the best you must surpass the supposed best. So you must be angry with yourself right about now” Shino’s smile faded as she sighed. “How do you plan on becoming number one if you’re not using your full power?”

Shino got a reaction this time. It was slight but she saw him widen his eyes in surprise. She grinned at her success of getting through to him.

“Those damn reporters! I’ll kill them! ”

Katsuki practically kicked the door down as he entered the class followed by rhe ever smiling Sora.

“I’ll take my leave, we’ll chat later”

Soon Izuku walked in accompanied by Iida and Uraraka. He sighed in relief when he slped into his seat

“That was overwhelming ” Izuku mumbled. “I hope they don’t return tomorrow”

“If they do I will disable all of their cameras” Shino said with a dark look.

“Shino, I don’t think that’s a good idea” Momo said.

“It’s just some cameras. That were probably highly expensive and filled with amazing footage. It’s probably some of their pride and joy. “Shino smirked sinisterly. “All the more reason to destroy them”

Momo tugged on her scarf in a way to snap her out of her current mindset.

“Your sadistic side is showing” Sora grinned.

Soon Ren entered the room with Tsuyu. She looked like she had just walked through a graveyard.

“Kosei, are you ok? ”

She nodded weakly and sat in her seat blankly stared in front of her.

“I think the reporters broke her”

“Someone as shy as her can’t be assaulted with unending questions”

Shino sighed. “Reporters”

After some time everyone shuffled into class and Aizawa came in as last. He looked annoyed and tired. Probably had to deal with the horde outside. He proceeded to insult a couple of students on their performance the day before and then get on to the important things.

“We have some homeroom notices that need to be tend to. I apologize for springing this on you but.. ”

The way he spoke had the students thinking they would have to go through another popquiz or some dangerous training.

“We need to pick a class president ”

Immediately most of the class shot up shouting out why they would make the best president. Shino sighed as she adjusted her headphones.

“Everyone shut up”

There was immediate quiet. Shino didn’t even yell and she got everyone’s attention. She was radiating an intimidating aura that got everyone to listen to her. The aura soon disappeared when all eyes were on her.

“In sure there are plenty of reasons you all think you’re great for this position, but what you think of yourself means jack squat. A class president will be responsible for the class. The leader. And as such the class should vote for who they want to be led by. Is that understood? ”

There were nods throughout the room.

“Good. Now everyone take your seat, get out a piece of paper and write down the name of your chosen leader. You’re free to nominate anyone including yourself ”

Everyone did as told and Aizawa nodded.

“Good to see I need not interfere”

Since Shino proposed the idea she went around collecting the votes. She wrote down the names of every class member on the black board and proceeded to draw a lone for each vote said person received.

“Huh”

Shino ended up with ten votes. She did not see that coming. Although it was not a bad surprise. Coming in second was Momo with seven votes. Third was Izuku with five. Sora followed with four. Katsuki got one.

“Me? ”

“You are the obvious choice” Iida stood straight as if adressing his superior. “You are very likeable, understanding and calm. You proved to be able to work with anyone during the trials yesterday and you also have the ability to analyze a situation and come up with a counteracting plan. You have also just demonstrated clear leadership. ”

“Ok, so, who voted for me? ”

Ten hands flew up.

Daichi. Ren. Akio. Momo. Sora. Izuku. Katsuki, although he looked very pissed to admit it. Tsuyu. Iida. Uraraka.

“Thank you for your votes. I hope I can be the leader you need” Shino smiled. “Hey Momo, get up here, you’re my vice president ”

“You voted for me didn’t you?” Moko asked as she stood next to Shino. The grin on her face was all the answer she needed.

“Then it’s settled. It’s president Kiddo and vice president Yaoyorozu ” Aizawa scribbled something down in a notepad.

During Lunch Shino was seated with the usual group. She was feasting on the cake her mother had baked for her. It was a delicious chocolate cake. She had even brought a piece for Momo. As she ate she looked around in search of Shoto. She sighed when she didn’t spot him. She was hoping to annoy him some more.

“How do you feel about your new position? ” Iida asked.

“I’m fine with it. You guys voted me so I might as well take the job”

“Likewise” Momo said in agreement.

“You wanted the position, did you not, Iida? ”

“I did”

“And yet you didn’t vote for yourself ”

“It is not oneself that matters in democracy! ”

“How noble” Shino said. “It’s to be expected from a member of the heroic Iida family ”

“Hid family is Heroic? ” Uraraka was confused.

Iida pushed his glaces up. “You are very knowledgeable Kiddo. Are you aware of the turbo hero Ingenium? ”

“Yeah. I heard of him. He’s super famous isn’t he? “Uraraka responded.

“Supposedly his office in Tokyo has collected over sixty sidekicks ” Akio said. “Are you saying you’re related to him? ”

“I’m his younger brother”

“You’re from a hero family?! ”

“Yes”

“How come you never said anything? ”

“I don’t like when it is brought up and therefore do not mention it myself”

“My classmates are getting cooler by the day” Daichi was all grins. “Are any more of you from hero families? ”

Shino snickered at the question and looked at her friends. Sora had this massive grin on his face and a look as if he knew some deadly secret. Izuku was quiet and chuckled nervously. Katsuki had this arrogant look on his face.

“Who knows”

Daichi was about to say something in reply but suddenly a loud siren could be heard in the entire building.

“Security level three has been breached. Students please promptly evacuate ”

Shino hates the word evacuate. It sends people into panic and they do the exact opposite of what is time to do. When someone says evacuate, do so in a calm and orderly fashion. But no. Humans are simple. Once they feel like they are in danger they fall into panic. And panicking students means a lot of noise. A lot of noise is something Shino is not a fan of.

“What’s security level three?” Iida asked.

Shino stood up with an annoyed expression on her face. “Infiltration ”

“Someone managed to infiltrate the school? “Daichi looked shock. “This school has high end security”

“Well someone bypassed it. “Shino climbed onto the table to get a look at the situation. There was a building mass at the door. Students were pushing and shoving each other in their panic. “Their panicking when they should be calm. The more panicked they are the longer it will take to vacate the building and they will hurt they’re fellow students”

“Sometimes humans disappoint me”

“I know the feeling, Kotoge” Shino motioned for Momo to join her on the table. “Would you make me a speakerphone please”

“Right”

“What do you plan on doing? ”

“Putting this mess to an end” Shino looked out the nearest window and pointed at it. “It’s just the press. Those annoying little reporters”

Shino tool Momo by the waist and shot a web at the ceiling, pulling them into the air and swinging through the air. She brought herself to the exit and stuck herself to the wall, while still keeping hold of Momo.

“You got that speakerphone? ”

Momo nodded as she handed the item to Shino.

“Thanks, you’re the best” Shino smiled before turning her attention to the crowd. “Everyone calm your horses this instant ”

Everyone stopped moving and looked up at her confused. Some we’re still trying to push their way to the front but had to stop when the crowd was not moving.

“You’re all students of the prestigious hero academy known as UA. You should all know better than to panic at a mere code three. You’re pushing and shoving each other, hurting each other in the process. You should know better than that, especially the upper classmen”

The room was silent as most of the students looked down in shame.

“There is nothing to worry about. It’s just the press. I don’t know how they managed to break into our campus, but they did. They are not a threat to us, so there is no need to worry”

Soon everyone calmed down and did things the right way. The police arrived and settled the situation swiftly.

Everyone returned to their classes and Shino got pat on the backs for handling the situation so calmly.

“Their panicked screams were getting too loud”

Everyone deadpanned at her reason for taking action.
