Truble in Lunch Hour

When that tomorrow came, I never would have thought that it would start off like this.

"Excuse me, can you describe to us what being taught by All Might in class is like?"

"What kind of lessons does All Might teach?

"Can you lend us some of your thoughts on what it was like having the "Symbol of Peace" standing before you at the podium of education?"

"What do you think of All Might's turn as a teacher?"

All Might this, All Might that, HOLY SHIT, why the fuck, is there a horde of reporters amassing in front of the only fucking entrance this school have‽‽‽

The news of All Might entering the U.A. Hero faculty sent a wave across the whole country.

Those mass media, they flock to the school every day and press themselves to the gate for days on end.

Asking questions to any student and staff member that passed through the main gate, just for a scoop of information about All Might the teacher.

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~ Finally, ."

Getting up and going to school in the morning is already hard enough for some of us, now these people are just giving a reason to not go to school entirely, only if that school wasn't U.A. most would probably do.

"Oh! Huff~ Huff~ Good morning, Honshiro-kun.*

Looking at my side, there stood Shoda with his hands gripped tightly to his backpack's straps, his heavy breath becoming more and steadier as he continued to control it.

"Good morning."

I replied to him.

After finally being able to squeeze himself out of the crowd of reporters, both of us began walking toward our class while chatting about our schedule for today's classes.

Just after we began walking into the campus, a staff member from the school began walking toward the school's gate, probably going to shoo them away again, just like he did every morning before.

To be honest he kinda didn't look like a teacher at all, like, you would imagine a teacher of the best Hero school in the country to at least be presentable, but no.

This guy looks straight-up homeless.

"Can you believe it? We're gonna have Foundational Hero Studies for our afternoon class, and All Might is gonna be the teacher!"

Shoda exclaimed excitedly.

"Right‽ Man, I can't wait for the afternoon class, what do you think he will teach us?"

Foundational Hero Studies is not exactly a common class in most high schools so I can't really expect what it's gonna be, I get that it's basically a class teaching you how to be a professional Hero but, for the first day?

Meh, I'm not gonna expect something too exciting, but meeting All Might and him teaching our class are already really good so it's definitely alright.

He's probably going to teach us about what makes a Hero and how to build a foundation for a great Hero or something.

Tho I can't really depend on my usual intuition to expect anything normal from this school.

~ Meanwhile with the mentioned hobo and the Mass Media ~

"Can you give us some insight about All Might's- OH! Oh, cut the feed! Sir, please be a little more presentable, we're filming for major news companies here!"

A lone man with black, shoulder-length slightly shriveled hair was standing in front of the crowd of reporters with a very tired expression on his face.

He stood just under the 1st gate of U.A. as he tried to shoo the reporters away.

"All Might is off-duty now, you are interfering with our lessons. Please go away."

Without saying another word or even acknowledging any questions that they've thrown at him, the man simply just turns around and walks toward the school, all the while the reporters beyond the gate begin to desperately try to ask about the where about of All Might as well as asking for an interview with him.

"All Might-san, I truly salute you for being able to get any work done with these people's hindrance"

Thought the man as he just kept walking he refused to give a single fuck to any of them.

But just right after he left, one of them got stupid.

"Hold on!"

A young woman wearing a blue blazer with a piece of cloth with the word "NHA" is tied to her left arm took steps forward to try and pry the man for one more question but, she overstepped her boundaries.

"H-Hold on! We only need some time with All Might you-"

Quite literally.

As she took a single step into the gate of U.A.

*Beeeeeep!!* *Slam!*

A loud buzzing sound reverberated through the air all around the gate as massive metal walls the size of the gate itself raised up from the ground to block the only way into the campus.

"Uwaaaaaa!! What the-"

Shocked by the sudden loud noise and the gate slamming close just inches from her own face, the reporter lady dropped to her knees as another journalist that is holding a camera closed in to check on her.

But, seeing that she was just shocked the other journalist decided to just inform her about what just happened.

"That's what we call the U.A. barrier"

The man holding a camera told her.

"What's with that name‽"

"If anyone who doesn't have authorization or student ID passes through this gate, they'll trigger the security measures and then this wall will pop out of the ground.

I heard the whole campus is filled with sensors like these."

The reporter lady turned her face back at the steel wall in front of her with a frustrated expression.

"Such a length just to keep us out‽ A word or two would be enough! Those jerks!"

"We've been here for two days! They don't even have the decency to give us a lie or a platitude to report about!"

Meanwhile, all of this commotion is going on right in front of the school's gate, a lone figure watches just over the road at the gate and the crowd of reporters.

His light blue hair swayed slightly to the side from the soft wind of spring blowing on it.

~ Back to Honshiro and friends in class ~

Kan-sensei took his place in front of the class as usual to do the morning lecture.

He looks somewhat more relaxed than he usually did in the morning, a bit bored even so I don't know if this is a good or bad sign.

"Alright I'm gonna cut to the point here, today you are deciding on your Class Representatives.

I don't care how you guys decide it, just make sure to be done when homeroom is over, understood?"

"Yes sensei"

"Good, now excuse me I have some matter that needs attending."

Being a Class President?

No thank you, I've seen what it did to Arga back then, and I am not interested.

But the others?

"I want to be Class President!"

"No! I want to be Class President!"

"Shut up all of you! I'm gonna be Class President!"

I have never been in a class where nearly half of its occupants wanted to become the Class President before.

Still not gonna change my mind, I don't have the capacity to lead a whole class of teenagers.

I know cause I am one.

"Perhaps it would be wise to reach an agreement on the method of picking the Class Representatives before we began volunteering"

Proposed Shishida, the just loud classroom now turned quiet as the students began to think and discuss about the best way to pick our Class Representatives.

"What do you propose then, Shishida-kun?"

I ask him.

"I propose we do a vote, each of us is to be given 3 pieces of paper for us to write a name for our chosen candidates for Class President, Vice President, and Secretary."

All of us began to ponder the ups and downs of the option of voting right now, on one hand, it would be quick and easy, voting now would mean that we would have our class representatives sooner rather than later, on the other hand, it's not even a week since most of us meet each other for the first time, it's not enough time to get to know our classmates well, making it hard to make informed decisions about who would be the best representatives.

But then again it could be an advantage to those with talents related to stuff like this, Kendo is a big sister who cares a lot for her classmates even though she just met us, and Shoda is an all-rounder who can do pretty well at basically anything, and Kodai has good writing and good memory, she can write down a whole speech by Present Mic IN ENGLISH!!

And then she writes it back again in Japanese in her free time without looking back at the original page once!

Isn't that cool?

So yeah I know who I'm gonna vote for.

And now it's time for democracy.

~ Voting Results ~

Class President Candidates

Winner: Itsuka Kendo | 4 votes

Vice President Candidates

Winner: Nirengeki Shoda | 5 votes

Secretary Candidates

Winner: Yui Kodai | 4 votes

All three winners of the voting session now stand in front of the class as Kan-sensei stood beside them to inform them of each of their own responsibilities that come with their position.

"I'll say it's not a bad pick, Kendo is definitely a helpful person from what I've seen"

Comments Manga.

"Yeah, and Shoda-kun is definitely multi-talented, i haven't discovered a thing that he can't do."

Comes Homenuki.

"Kodai-san got elected as secretary, s-so lucky!"

Even Komori made some comments.

All in all, I think the result is pretty good, but the ceremony for the new Class President will need to be put on hold because if you look at our schedule, you can see that now is the time for-

~ Lunch Rush Cafeteria ~

"Woah! You meet the Big 3 here‽ That's so lucky!"

Kendo said as she put her tray of food down on the table that we'd chosen to sit on.

Not just us, but also Tetsutetsu, Shoda, Kodai, and Shishida.

And the rest of the table is filled with other students that we didn't know of.

"Yeah and we also talk to them during the whole lunch, pretty cool people"

Adds Tetsutetsu.

"What are their personality like?"

"Yeah, the only moments they got on TV are them fighting and capturing someone, what are they really like here?"

No one is exactly the person that they show themself as on camera, except maybe All Might, watching him on TV and seeing him in real life, hardly any differences.

But hey, I've only ever seen glimpses of the man so don't take my words for granted.

"Bit more hmm..., eccentric than I expected, but they're definitely good people, they really care for each other from what I've seen."

Said Shoda as we began to eat our food.

Countless people continued to get inside the canteen as our already full table was passed by many familiar and unfamiliar figures.

"Uraraka-san? Oh, it's nice seeing you again!"

Ochako Uraraka, the one from the library if you remember, with two of her friends that I didn't know.

Well, maybe somewhat.

One of them is a boy with short dark blue hair, flattened down and parted on the right side of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head. He wears a serious expression and glasses with rectangular lenses.

The other one is the mumbling one if you remember, the one from the entrance exam.

And the blue-haired guy the one who called him out during Present Mic's lecture and embarrassed him in front of all of those people, isn't he?

Well, I guess he doesn't hold grudges, so they probably made up, that's good.

"Oh! Kendo! Nice to meet you too! Sorry but I have to go now, I need to get a table before they run out, come on guys!"

But it seemed that fate hadn't destined us to talk to each other any longer as the trio quickly went back to their search for a table that had yet to be full of occupant for them to enjoy their lunch.

But it doesn't stop them from giving us some short form of greeting and recognition.

"My name is Tenya Iida, I hope we will be able to talk longer the next time we meet."

"I'm Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you."

The lunch hour went a bit more calmly than usual, but eating and chatting together with friends was never a bad experience for me, so I think today's not too bad.

And we're finally going to get lessons from All Might today so this day is going to be great either way.

And then of course later that day something bad happens.

Because why not? Fuck me and my big mouth.

...

Wait that came out wrong.

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!*

The school's alarm suddenly began blaring out loud snuffing out any sound of chatter from the previously lively canteen.

"An alarm‽"

Students began looking left and right trying to find any possible nearby cause of the alarm going off.

Suddenly, the voice of a woman began talking through the speakers, its sound loud enough to be heard above the still blaring alarm.

"Security level 3 has been breached, all students please proceed to evacuate the buildings.

Security level 3 has been bre-"

And just like that, all hell broke loose.

Running, pushing, bumping, the once full seats at the cafeteria tables are now empty as all of its previous occupants had fled in fear of their own safety.

Tetsutetsu quickly began to see the problem with all of these students leaving the cafeteria at the same time.

"Oh no! They're bottled at the door, the people at the front are going to get crushed!"

Looking at the sea of students, several people can be seen trying to calm the students down but because of their small numbers compared to the literal wave of humans going against them, their words are left unheard.

Seeing this, Kendo quickly decides to help them out.

"We'll need to help calm down the crowds before that happens, let's go help!"

And with our food left unfinished, all 6 of us to try and calm the crowds down.

After all of us separated into a group of two, I ended up with Tetsutetsu with both of us flailing our arms around the air while desperately trying to calm down the mass of students.

"Hey! Calm down! No need to push!"

"Dammit! What even is security level 3‽ And why the hell would somebody breach into a school?! What could possibly be valuable here?!"

While our effort may seem futile if you compare the people listening to us and slowing down to the rest that doesn't, the important thing is the people near the front listen and the people at the front do not get crushed.

And all while the results of our efforts had begun to show, all be it at a slow pace, a sudden much-needed solution fell out of the sky.

Literally.

"Engine..Boost!"

*Vroooom!*

One boy spinning rapidly in the air like some sort of shuriken flying towards the canteen's exit, the buzzing sound of an engine coming from the multiple exhausts sticking out of his engine-shaped calves, giving us a clear indication of who this is.

"That's Iida!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed.

"What?! Oh that IS Iida!"

After only

*Thud!*

As his body slammed against the wall right on top of the exit door, Iida quickly gripped the pipe right on top of him with one of his hands for support while his legs stood shakily on the top of the exit sign.

Turning his vision to the crowd Iida gained a fierce look in his eyes.

"EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!!! IT'S OKAY!!" Iida screamed from the top of his lungs.

His voice is loud enough to overwhelm the voice of the crowd for a single moment, but that moment of silence is all he needs to quickly convey his message.

"IT'S JUST THE PRESS, THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! IT'S OKAY!"

The now silent crowd looks at the strange boy balancing himself on the top of an exit sign with surprised expressions plastered on their faces, Iida then continues with his announcement with a little reminder for all of us.

"This is U.A.! Behave like the students of the best hero academia in the country that you are!" Iida reinstated.

Hearing the sound of police sirens from the school gate is enough to prove that the situation is under control and watching the police officers arresting all of the reporters on sight became quite an entertainment for the students to watch from the cafeteria windows.

Then from the speaker, the voice of the same woman that marks the start of the panic previously came back again with a new announcement.

"Breachment has been contained, all students that are harmed please report to the school's medical wing, and those that are unharmed are allowed to return to their classes.

We are sorry for the inconvenience."

After that announcement, most of the students now chose to return to their own classrooms as lunch hour was just about to finish, and because of the size of the building, some students needed to walk quite far just to get back to their classes.

After the crowd completely dispersed, the atmosphere became very calm compared to previously, with Kendo, Kodai, and Shishida also opting to go back to class, leaving only me, Tetsutetsu, and Shoda still at the canteen.

"Lunch hour is allow finished, we should probably get to class too right Honshiro?" Shoda asked me.

Oh, but he would not be receiving his answer any time soon, why?

*Munch!* *Munch!* *Munch!*

Cause I'm too busy finishing my now cold food that I've paid full price and I will not let it go to waste.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me! Honshiro, we have 6 minutes left, just leave it it's okay!" Tetsutetsu tried to convince me, tho I could barely hear him because of the sound of all of the food I was continuously munching right now.

And leave my food uneaten? He's going crazy.

" *Gulp* I have paid for this food and nothing is stopping me from finishing it! *aggressive chewing* "

Tetsutetsu and Shoda could only sigh in helplessness but decided to wait for me to finish before the three of us walked back to class together.

While on the way Shoda asked us about what we thought we would do for the afternoon lesson, or more precisely what would All Might do, it is his lesson after all.

"Maybe we will have a one-on-one sparring session! That'll be so manly!" Tetsutetsu suggested.

"Maybe we would only get an introduction and some theory? It's only the first time we officially met him, and this is going to be his first lesson with us after all." Shoda added.

"Considering his personality most of the time, what do you guys think would be the most over-the-top spectacular way for HIM, to start a lesson?"

Now after I gave the suggestion to include All Might's notorious tendency to do anything in the most over-the-top, spectacular, American way possible.

"I'll say he's going to do something like training in a realistic scenario, you know? Kinda like back when everyone would play heroes vs villains in the park, but cooler, I guess."

Since we've all put our guesses, now it is only a matter of time until fate chooses the correct answer, so why not make it more fun?

"How about we make a little bet, if any one of our answers is correct then the other two will have to do any one thing that the winner asks for. How bout that?" I proposed as I offered my hands for a handshake.

The two of them look at each other for a moment, before ultimately agreeing to my little bet.

Right after we all agreed, the bell signing the start of our last lesson for the day finally came, it's time.

Let's see what All Might has in store for us.

~ Afternoon Class ~

"I AAAAAAAAAM!

HERE!"

Here comes the man of the hour.
