Chapter 34

After our match, there were 2 more that were less than impressive. Then another couple of classes. After that, it was the end of the day. Most people went home and some stayed to wait for Midoriya again. I went to check out the Kendo club. I haven't had anyone I could practice with my greatsword against. Kendo club is an immediate disappointment. I forgot to factor in a few things. First clubs almost never have kids from the hero programs. So all of the members lack a powerful quirk. A powerful quirk that would put them on par with me. Even the fittest members would be at best half my strength and speed. That's not even considering reaction speed or sword skills. I would gain nothing sparing from them. Sparing with them might actually hurt my technique. Halfway through their demonstration, I leave to go to work.

At work today I actually did something productive. I felt inspired to fix my baseball pitching machine upgrade problem. I decided that the next step up was either faster moving objects and or more objects. Pitching machines are expensive and won't throw a ball faster than 120 mph. Meaning I'll have to make something. Then I had an epiphany. Eventually, I want to dodge bullets, so what is in between bullets and baseballs? BB and paintball guns. So I use a cad program on one of the Kawaguchi's extra computers. I design an independent system to target and shoot a projectile. The projectiles can be changed as can the pressure that's used to fire the projectiles. When I'm done designing it I think I can build one for under 2,000 yen per launcher. I buy some PVC pipes, CO2 canisters with appropriate piping, gears, motors, cameras, Raspberry Pis, paintballs, and I 3d print out some specific pieces out of plastic. I spend the rest of my night putting together 4 of the towers. They're basically self aiming guns attached to stationary stands. The aiming program is something I copied and slightly modified from an already developed tracking program. I finish all 4 towers before going to bed but didn't have a chance to fully put them to use.

The next morning I went about my daily routine including my morning work out at the UA gym. When I got to class everyone was talking about reporters. Guess I missed them. Aizawa chews out Bakugou and Midoriya for their performance yesterday. Then he tells us to determine our class president. It seems like everyone in the class wants to be class president. But I don't particularly care. I know for sure I don't want the job I have enough on my plate already. I vote for Asui. Without my interference, Midoriya gets three votes and Yaoyorozu gets 2 the rest get 1 or zero votes. This time Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, Me, and Asui get 2 votes. This causes the class to break down in arguing especially from people who lost. So I head up to the board and erase my name.

"I want to thank the people who voted for me, but I have prior commitments that will keep me from fulfilling the role of class president. So, why don't we do another round of votes this time only one of these 3 people."

After a second vote, Yaoyorozu is elected class president and Asui her vice. After selecting a president the class move on to lunch Uraraka, Ilda, and Midoriya are sitting together. I'm sitting with Yaoyorozu, Asui, Mina, Kirishima.

"Congratulations Ms. President and Vice President," I say congratulating Yaoyorozu and Asui.

"Yea" "Cheers" Mina and Kirishima happily exclaimed.

"I didn't expect to win Ribbit"

"It's not unexpected that I won, but it's still an honor"

"By the way thanks for voting for me Ashido, Kirishima" I add

"ehh how did you know I voted for you"

"You're welcome man"

"There were only so many people without votes. I knew I got 2 votes from other people because I voted for Asui"

"Call me Tsuyu"

"Well if I knew you didn't want the job I would have voted for somebody else. " Ashido complains

"It's not that I'd don't want it. I've already got a part-time job that takes up a fair portion of my time."

"Oh, where do you work?" Yaoyorozu asks me

"It's a Support Item development firm called SetCo. I'm the assistant to one of the developers"

"Oh that's impressive how did that happen"

"I ran into her and helped her troubleshoot some ideas that got her a promotion."

Then suddenly a loud alarm goes off and the entire lunchroom starts to panic.

"Momo megaphone!"

She complies and pulls a megaphone out of her leg.

"UA STUDENTS PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR SEATS. THE INTRUDERS ARE JUST REPORTERS. REPEAT THE INTRUDERS ARE JUST REPORTERS. PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR SEATS."

It seems to get the message across as the room quotes down and we avoid a full-on stampede. I then hand Yaoyorozu back the megaphone

"You called me Momo"

"Umm yeah sorry about that your Yaoyorozu is kind of a mouthful in high-stress situations."

Ashido and Kirishima both nod and agreement with Ashido saying

"Yea for sure Momo is better"

Yaoyorozu seems to put her face in her hands for a second before coming to a conclusion

"Fine, but if you're calling me Momo I'm using all of your given names"

"I told you to call me Tsuyu"

"I prefer Gin anyways"

"Mina for me"

"Hella manly. Eijiro"

I don't think this is what Momo had in mind, because she seems defeated.
