To Be A Hero: A Mha Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 45

“Your field training will be one week long ” Aizawa’s tired voice filled the quiet class. “I have sheets listing down good workplaces” Aizawa motioned to the stack of papers on his desk.

“For those who were nominated there is a personalized list. Those who were not nominated receive a list of 40 participating workplaces from across the country” Midnight continued.

“There are more than enough options. Choose one and choose wisely ”

Shino eyed her list of workplaces with a curious eye. She already knew who she was choosing. She was just curious about what other offers she had received. Everyone else around her was in deep conversation about their preffered agency and style.

“You’ve been nominated by Toy Master? ” Daichi asked Akio excitedly as he looked over his list of potential work places.

Shino glanced in their direction upon hearing the name. Toy Master is a high ranking hero who is good with everyone and everything. His quirk allows him to turn any toy weapon into an actual weapon as long as he knows what the desired weapon is made of. Toy Master and Akio had obvious similarities. Shino wouldn’t be surprised if he chose his agency.

“Edgeshot as well” Akio said more to himself than Daichi. It seemed he was caught between the two. Understandable. They were both great heroes. One specialized in weapons. The other was a master of stealth. Both had qualities Akio wanted to train to his best.

“Awe yeah! Tripper and Quicksilver nominated me” Daichi’s excitement was aimed at his own achievements.

No surprise he caught the eye of speed based heroes.

Tripper has some sort of teleportation quirk. He can’t go very far. Seeing him use it always remined Shino of the flashstep from Bleach. He would just flicker out of sigh and reaper somewhere nearby a moment later. His way of fighting matches Daichi. Or is it the other way around.

Quicksilver is a different story. He’s also based on speed, but its no form of teleportation. He’s just unbelievably fast. He’s so fast he can generate electricity while running. In all honesty he is just the Flash of the MHA world.

Shino’s attention was soon on Tsuyu and Ren. Little Ren was so happy her face was red. Apparently she got nominated by her role model. She was shyly conversing with Tsu over her happy discovery.

Missprint. The ink hero. She’s pretty impressive. She’s capable of making and controlling ink. How one makes ink from their body is still something Shino is trying to figure out. This woman has a set of abilities. First of all she could make clones of herself with her ink. She can even control their size. The clones can do anything anything the original can. Secondly she can create anything with her ink. Be it a gun, a sword or some weird little creature that stares deep into your soul. Shino shivered at the memory of running into one of those creatures. They creeped her out. They had red eyes and this unblinking stare that made the normally cool Shino uncomfortable.

“Shino, I got nominated by Meta! ”

Shino flinched at the loudness of Sora’s voice and the loud “bang” of his hands slamming down on her desk.

“You don’t have to be so loud ”

“I’m so excited! He’s super cool! ”

“Quiet down”

Meta. He possessed the quirk known as Aftermath. It’s pretty simple. His quirk allows him to store up any force used against him and return it with twice the force. In short he could hold his own against All Might if his durability is high enough. It matters not that he can store up force, he still feels pain and could still be hurt.

“This is awesome! What about you Izuku? ”

“Shut up Sora” Shino rubbed her temples in annoyance. Why did Sora have to be so loud? With a low m.o.a.n of annoyance Shino retrieved a lollipop to settle her growing headache and calm her.

“The lava hero Magnus” Izuku was oddly calm about it as he scribbled down in his notebook. “I’m choosing him. I can get a chance to analyze his quirk”

“When you do that hand me the notes. I want to learn the secrets of his quirk. I already cracked a couple of factors, like his ability to not only create, but also turn into lava. The science behind it all is amazing” Shino’s mood took a complete turn once she delved into the science behind quirks. She’s absolutely fascinated by the study and enjoys breaking down any quirk she knows of. Her greatest science project is her own quirk. It’s so intricate and hard to understand that even after studying a massive amount of quirks she wasn’t even past the starting line.

“If you’re over your science talk let me get a look at your list”

Sora didn’t even wait for a response. Izuku leaned over his shoulder to get a look at the long list. His eyes grew round in shock and admiration while Sora only grinned brightly. Soon enough Katsuki decided to join and took a look at the list.

“What’s with this list? “He asked annoyed.

Shino didn’t answer. She wasn’t even paying attention to them anymore. She had spotted the lonesome Shoto and remembered their bet.

“Shoto. Don’t choose your father ” Shino shot him a look when she caught him staring staring at his father’s name. “You’re supposed to be over him. You can not intern under him”

Shoto knew Shino was right. He should choose someone else to further prove to his father that he is his own person and doesn’t have to fulfill his lost dream. But he didn’t know who to choose. He didn’t even know what type of hero he wanted to be. He was only now starting to except and find himself. There were so many questions he wanted answered. He knew no one could him with. Those are questions he has to find the answer to himself.

“I suggest Helios” Shino pointed out her father’s hero name. “You want to find yourself. Find your motive for being a hero. He can certainly help you with that ” Shino was very confident her father could be of service. He’s a true Problem solver. “You have no choice. I came out the victor and as such you do one thing I say”

“Fine” Shoto knew Shino would not let up so he really had no choice.

“Shino! Don’t just ignore us! ”

Shino flinched when Katsuki yelled and adjusted her earphone.

“What is it? ”

“I’m asking you. what’s up with your list? ”

“I don’t see anything wrong with it” Shino looked at the paper confused. “What are you even talking about? ”

“Your list is full of super high end heroes! You might as well have been nominated by every important hero in the city” Sora cleared up surprisingly quietly.

“Practically every hero wants you. Rescue heroes. Battle heroes. Containment heroes. Every type of hero wants you” Izuku beamed happily. “That is so amazing ”

Shino looked over her list casually as if she hadn’t noticed. She didn’t find it such a big deal.

“I’m pretty adaptable” Shino shrugged. “I’m supposed to be the hero suited for any situation, remember? ”

“Your ability to stay so casual about it insults me”

“I really don’t care about you right now. You’ve been very inconsiderate the entirety of the morning ”

“Who are you going with, Shihiro? ”

Tsu suddenly joined the conversation. Izuku jumped having failed to notice her approach. He was either too distracted or ah was that incognito. Despite the lack of any emotional on her face or in her eyes Shino could tell that she was genuinely curious and impressed.

“Lightning hero Astr.a.p.e”

Kaminari did a spit take when he heard that and practically teleported to Shino’s side.

“Astr.a.p.e? The Astr.a.p.e? The second highest ranking female hero and lightning goddess? ”

Apparently Kaminari was a fan. A massive fan. He knew practically everything about her.

“There are rumors that she and Helios have a kid”

“Is that so? “Shino decided to humor him. “Tell me more”

Turns out the rumor is spot on. It is even said that they have a daughter. People really are nosey.

Shino eventually extracted herself and approached Momo who was conversing with Tsu and Ren.

“Hey girls. Mind if I ask what you’re talking about? “Shino asked as she leaned against the nearest wall? ”

“Nothing really. Just talking about our internsh.i.p.s ” Momo answered and stared down at her list. “My List consist of 99% female heroes”

“And you’re choosing? ” Shino asked as she looked over the list.

“I’m not sure”

“Ok, well you want to gain experience right? ”

“Yes of course”

“Then it is best to intern with a hero who can give you that experience ” Tsuyu stated, receiving a nod from Shino.

“Not someone who will teach you about fan appeal and how to generally be a model” Shino said reffering to Uwabami. “And not someone who will just let you do small errands ” this time it was Mt.Lady. “You need someone like Misprint. Lady Luck. Calico and the likes”

At the mention of Missprint Ren visibly brightened. Everyone noticed and turned their attention to her. When she noticed she went so red steam was coming from her ear.

“So you’re a fan? ”

Ren nodded meekly. “I-I really l-l-look up to her” she muttered quietly.

“I can understand that. Your quirks have some similarities” Shino said logically.

“She’s a-amazing. She’s very brave and n-not afraid of anything. And she’s really good with kids. I just really want to be like her”

Shino noted the stutters decreased when the smaller girl talked about her hero. She still had that massive blood on her face though. She looked really small and fragile. And Shino just wanted to protect her.

Ren jumped when Shino petted her head affectionately with a huge smile on her face.

“From this day onward I deem you my younger sister and shall protect you from this cruel world ” Shino said dramatically before abruptly turning to Tsu and petted her head as well. She seemed to actually enjoy the action. “You as well Tsu! ”

“Ribbit? ”

“Shino” Momo sighed. “You’re being overdramatic ”

“Momo they’re so cute. I must protect them” Shino saId determined. “And Jiro Too. She’s a rare species”

“I’m a rare what now? “Jiro interjected hearing the conversation.

“You are a rare species and I shall protect you” Shino was determined.

“I’ve see you’ve made it a goal”

“Yup”
