27: Internships

****

Thank you for the suggestions, everyone! Hope the name I chose was alright...

•-•-•-•-•

"Today, you're going to formulate your Hero Names!"

" YEAH!!!!"

...

As Aizawa's eyes turn red and his hair rises, the class becomes silent.

"This is related to the Draft Nominations by Pros I mentioned the other day. The nominations you're getting this year are more akin to impressions of interest in your future potential." Aizawa informs the class, who were beaming with joy.

He then adds, "Also, it's not rare that interest dries up by your graduation or simply dropped." Making the class downcast.

"Anyway, the tally of nominations are as follows," he tells them as a hologram appears on the board, showing the selection.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Takumi- 4, 320

Todoroki- 4, 056

Bakugo- 3, 760

Yaoyorozu- 1, 479

...

Kirishima- 360

...

...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Typically the results are more balanced but this year, the attention leaned towards all of you."

"As expected of Takubro and Todoroki-san..." sighed Kirishima.

"A lot of that is just because of my father." replies Todoroki while Akira was silent.

...

"Based on this, whether you were selected or not, I'll be having you all go get some so-called, "workplace experience"." Aizawa tells them.

"And 'cuz of that, we'll need Hero Names, huh!" exclaimed Sato.

"Yay! This is going to be fun!"

...

"Of course, and the one who will help you guys pick them will be..."

"Me!" shouted a woman's voice from the doorway.

"Midnight!?"

"The names you pick now will be the names you'll be known by the world! In many cases, your Hero Names from now will stay the same even when you become Pros!" she exclaims as she walks towards in front of the class.

"She's correct. The way your futures end up is connected to the image projected by the names you chose. Well, Midnight will be evaluating your Hero Names... Don't disturb me, until you're all done." tells Aizawa while getting in his sleeping bag.

"All right, let's start!"

...

{Akira POV}

A Hero Name, huh...

I have some in mind...

•-•-•-•-•

Fifteen minutes later...

"It's almost time! For those ready to present their names for the class, you can do it now." announced Midnight, and Aoyama... walks in front of the class.

"I cannot stop twinkling!"

"That's a whole sentence!!!" shouted the class.

...

After that, the others gained confidence in presenting their names.

From Froppy, Uravity, Pinky to Red Riot, Tentacole, Chargebolt, etc.

...

"All right! Now, the ones left are Midoriya, Todoroki, Bakugo, Iida, and Takumi!"

"Ah, I'll go next, Midnight-sensei." I raise my hand and go in front of them.

"Everchanging Word Hero: Edict."

[A/N: I wanted it to be Devilish or Demonic Word Hero:, to pay honor for Zagred, but it just sounded edgy...]

"Oh? It's passable! Who's next?" Midnight concluded.

Todoroki was next, and like in the show, he wrote "Shoto".

Iida also wrote his own name, and Midoriya wrote "Deku".

Bakugo was the remaining one and I wanted to help him...

"Psst. Want some help?" I ask him.

He turns to me and replies, "Tch. Mind your own business you ner-.... bangs..."

Bangs..? Now that I think about it... My hair has gotten longer...

Hm, maybe I'll let Kane-chan trim it after my internships...

...

After everyone gave their Hero Names...

"All right. Your field training will be one week long. Those with Nominations will receive a personalized list. Pick one. For those who didn't, here's a list of 40 Participating Agencies from across the country, you also need to choose one."

...

After the classes ended...

"So, Akira-san, who are you going with? With over four thousand requests, it would be very difficult to choose..." asked Momo.

"Actually, I already had three Pro Heroes in mind. But the one I picked is Mr. Imprint."

"Mr. Imprint? That's the Number 53 Hero in Japan... mutter mutter mutter mutter mutter" butted in Midoriya.

"Number 53? Really? Why him, Takumi-san?" asked Kaminari.

I reply, "Well, he specializes in both Hero and Rescue work, and because of a certain group, we weren't able to learn that much about Rescue Work."

Plus, I'm interested in his quirk. It's the final push I need to develop another technique.

"True dat..." sighed Mina.

"What about you guys?" I question her.

"I was going to pick Uwabami... But now that you mention it, it's true that we don't have experience in Rescue... I might need to rethink my decision..." Momo ponders.

"That's all right. We have two days anyway." I remind her.

...

After sending my chosen agency, I prepared my things to go home.

...

"Be safe, everyone. Also, to today's assigned cleaners," and some students going out flinched, "Kaminari, Sero, and Mina... Did you think I wouldn't notice...?"

"H-hey... We... were just looking out the hall..."

•-•-•-•-•

A few days later...

"All right, grab your costumes and get to the buses. Don't be too troublesome to your chosen Agencies, brats." Aizawa tells us.

"Yessir!"

...

After a bus ride, me and some other students arrive to the train station.

"Have a safe trip, everyone!" I tell them.

"You too, Takumi-san!" replied Midoriya and Iida while Todoroki nods.

...

A train ride, I take my phone and look at the map.

Following it, I arrive at "Marked Agency".

Alright... Let's gain some experience and develop a new technique...

What did you think of the chapter?

P.S: No chapter tomorrow! I'm going to alternate and post a new chapter in the Eleceed Fanfic.

That's how it's going to be from now on...
