Spacetime Anomaly: MHA Fanfic

Chapter 10.1: Class President

With the first round of the Battle Trial complete, the others promptly began, yet none were as insane as Izuku's match. The second match, consisting of Bakugo and Iida vs Ojiro and Kirishima, ended anticlimactically after Iida simply ignored Ojiro to capture the bomb and Bakugo gave Kirishima the punching bag treatment until Iida won the round for them.

Mineta and Shoji showed rather impressive synergy as they worked together to capture Sato and Koda during the third round, while Sero and Uraraka put of a decent fight before being overpowered by Tokoyami and Asui in the fourth. Only the final round saw a resurgence of excitement from those watching as Mina and Aoyama nearly won as Villains only lose out in the final moments against Kaminari and Jiro.

Overall, it was quite a learning experience for everyone; a lengthy one, too. By the time everyone had changed back to their formal school attire and regrouped in their classroom, there was hardly any free time left. That didn't stop the students from socializing, though.

"Desks are not meant to be sat upon! Get off!" Iida chopped at Tokoyami.

"Tch, so noisy," he retorted, ignoring his command.

Kaminari, standing beside Uraraka, asked, "Wanna catch a meal together, Uraraka? What do you like?"

"I like mochi," she replied, apparently oblivious towards Kaminari's intentions.

Izuku, finally finished writing down all his thoughts on a paper, walked over to Hagakure and put the paper down on her desk, saying, "Please see if you can make use of this information. Hopefully, if you learn to control your light warping Quirk, you'll be able to choose when and what part of yourself is invisible. Kind of like how I made both myself and my clothes invisible..."

"T-thanks, I-izuku..." Hakagure nervously said, not knowing what came over her to refer to him so closely. Fortunately, Izuku simply smiled and nodded, happy to see their relationship remain in good standing.

"Izuku?" Mina thoughtlessly repeated, slightly shocked by Hagakure's forwardness.

"Yes?" She didn't expect him to reply, evident by how she incoherently muttered, "U-uh, n-no, I w-was just um… yeah..."

"Right..." Izuku squinted in her direction, trying to deduce if she was suffering from a seizure or something. He didn't find anything wrong with her, so he said, "Oh, I didn't get a chance to ask earlier. Did you go easy on Jiro and Kaminari so as to not ruin their costumes? I think you would have had a better chance at winning if you transformed the water-like acid on their clothes to irritate more of their skin."

"About that… I'm still not at the level where I can transform my acid from a distance that well. If I messed up and created lethal acid by mistake and scarred them, I wouldn't be able to live with myself..."

"Mhmm… Well, we'll get your control down eventually. Also, I think you missed out on a couple opportunities to stun them with feints now that you've practically mastered transitioning. If you had thrown harmless what acid on them while right after you let a couple drops of superacid corrode the ground, I think anyone would get scared enough to net you a couple of extra punches."

"I hadn't thought about that!" Mina's eyes brightened with understanding.

"You really take this training thing seriously, huh?" Ojiro suddenly interjected as he faced Izuku.

"Yep, why? You want in?" Izuku asked, never opposed to letting another join him in getting stronger.

"Wh- Really?" Ojiro clearly didn't expect such an easy invitation.

"Anyone can come if they want; at Dagobah Municipal Beach, I mean. Mina here doesn't even come with me every day, so there's no need to feel pressured."

"Wha- Of course, I don't go every day! With your routine, I'd die by the end of the week if I went every day!" Mina snorted; playfully somehow...

"Anyone?" All heads turned to Bakugo as he spoke calmly and quietly for once.

"Yes," Izuku's eyes narrowed, "Anyone can come and join. Even if it isn't for training, it's not like I own the beach."

"Hmph! Whatever," he scoffed and slung his bag over his shoulder before leaving.

"I'll have to see about that Midoriya-san," Momo said as she headed over to the door as well. "Maybe I'll come around some time to spar a couple rounds with you." Though she hadn't said anything, she was impressed by the way Izuku had handled her traps and staff skills. Fighting against a capable peer as additional training seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up; especially since it was against the class's highest performing student.

"Dude, that's so manly! I'll join if you teach me how to fight," said Kirishima.

So, nearly an hour later, Izuku found himself at the beach with Kirishima in tow; he really hadn't been kidding! Fortunately, Kirishima lacked anything but endurance as Izuku wasn't exactly known to hold back when it came to training. Somehow, even after his battle with Bakugo, Kirishima still managed to last through nearly half of Izuku's usual daily physical conditioning and on top of that, after a rest, he also sparred like a psychopath with his Quirk against Izuku's gravity-powered attacks. Only after dusk started settled into twilight did Kirishima call it a day and leave for his home.

…

The next day, as Izuku headed to school, he found dozens of reporters pressing his peers for information on All Might. Not exactly thrilled to be bothered by the media over such a topic, he went ahead and used his new invisibility technique to bypass their blockade and enter the school before the U.A. Barrier was triggered.

Eventually, homeroom began with Aizawa standing before his podium, saying, "I've already looked over all your evaluations from yesterday. Good work, everyone. Now onto business, I'm sorry for the sudden announcement," he succeeded in raising the tension in the room two-fold by drawing out his words before he concluded, "but today, I need you to pick a class president."

However, after it sunk in what Aizawa was proposing, virtually all the students erupted into chaos, hoping to be picked for the job.

"I'd like to do it," Jiro said flatly.

"Lemme do it!" screamed Kirishima; apparently he had no trouble recovering from yesterday's workload.

"In my administration, girls have to show 30 cms of t.h.i.g.h," cheered Mineta, succeeding in getting the majority of the class against him.

"I wanna be the leader~" Mina chirped.

Even Bakugo and Koda, polar opposites of one another had their hands raised in hopes of getting the position.

"Quiet down, everyone!" Iida yelled. After getting the class' attention, his eyes narrowed as he said, "Leading is a heavy-handed task, where ambition does not equate to ability! A functioning official setting needs the trust of its constituents, so I propose we set in motion the democratic process. Our true leader must be voted in through election!" Despite his words, he actually had his hand raised the highest…

Immediately, Kaminari retorted, "This is a classroom, not Congress!"

"Iida, we haven't even gotten to know each other that well. There just hasn't been enough time to develop trust." Asui said.

"Yeah, and what's to stop all of us from voting for ourselves?" Kirishima added.

"That's exactly why we should do it! Whoever managed to get multiple votes this soon is the person most suited to the job!" Iida claimed. He turned to Aizawa, who had already started zipping up his sleeping bag, asking, "Will you allow it Aizawa-sensei?!

"Whatever, just get it over with by the end of class." The ever-tired pro replied.

…

"Mhmm..." Izuku stood alongside Momo with a streak of cold sweat running down the side of his face. "Wow, a whole forth of the class voted for me? I'm honored," he said.

"Dude, you've got the coolest powers! I wouldn't want to be led by anyone else," said Kaminari.

"And the manliest drive," added Kirishima.

Raising a clenched hand in frustration, Iida said, "I had to practice what I preached, so I voted for you as the person most suited to guiding us."

Mina simply winked at him, while Hagakure stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Well, thanks again," Izuku bowed, before turning to Momo and offering a hand while saying, "Be sure to keep me in line, Vice President Yaoyorozu-san." She took his hand but glared at him fiercely as she said, "Let's keep it simple; just say my name..."
