Chapter 54: Media Invasion.

When it was noon, the students of Class A came to the cafeteria of U.A. High School after class, each enjoying the delicious dishes provided by the professional hero Lunch Rush and the head chef of U.A. cafeteria.

In addition to the hero subjects, students from the support and business departments will also gather here to share the delicious food.

Accelerator specifically found a position by the window in the back row. He sat there alone, exuding a terrifying oppressive feeling from head to toe, enjoying his lunch alone as if ignoring the students who were eating in twos and threes with friends and the noisy chatter of other students.

(He simply disliked the noise here and directly used his ability to block the sound)

Since entering school, the trio of Iida, Uraraka, and Midoriya, who had established a bond one step ahead of others, naturally sat together for lunch. They chatted normally.

"Iida, we still have to congratulate you on becoming the class president."

Midoriya and Uraraka looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. They congratulated Iida in unison.

After all, anyone could notice Iida Tenya's desire for the position of class president with a little observation.

"Of course, since we followed Accelerator's opinion, I, will definitely fulfill the duties of a class president wholeheartedly."

Iida seemed a bit emotional, he stood up and raised his right hand, his serious expression was like a sacred ceremony similar to an oath.

"I'll leave it to you, Iida."

Midoriya and Uraraka, more or less, could understand Iida Tenya's feelings.

After all, that was Accelerator's personal recommendation.

The weight in the words is no less than the students' votes.

"Speaking of which, Iida, don't you also see Accelerator as a rival?"

"I remember that you tried to challenge him during the Quirk test and combat training."

"And just now, it seemed like you really wanted to be the class president, so why did you give all your votes to him?"

Midoriya Izuku was a bit confused about Iida's choice in the previous class meeting. Even he and Ochako were truly rescued by Accelerator, and Midoriya even received Accelerator's help and guidance twice.

But Iida Tenya is fundamentally different from them. Iida has always appeared as a challenger to Accelerator, just like the other two people in the class. However, Midoriya admires the three of them. In the face of Accelerator, who is a terrifying demon king with almost all-round control of academic performance and Quirk, they are constantly trying to dive into the unfathomable person like the sea.

Speaking of which, Midoriya Izuku also had the idea of challenging Accelerator in the Quirk test, but because of the complex emotions of long-term inferiority and cowardice mixed with the complex situation of the exam at the time, he was generally dissatisfied with his behavior at that time.

It is precisely because he knows his shortcomings that he envies the three challengers who can express their intentions loudly and clearly.

He is still far behind.

But such a distance will not always exist, he will not waste All Might's efforts and teachings.

After being rescued by Accelerator in Middle School, he no longer finds any excuses to evade any problems.

"'Wanting to become' and 'whether it is suitable' are two different things."

"I am very clear about how big the gap between him and me is. In my opinion, he is the best candidate with the most qualifications and power to lead everyone."

"That's why I gave all my votes to him."

"It's a pity that he doesn't seem to mean that."

When Iida Tenya said this, his expression looked very tangled and regretful.

Uraraka and Midoriya both felt this. They were the ones who had actually been helped by Accelerator, so they naturally understood what Accelerator's so-called cold face and warm heart were.

"It's really regrettable for me."

"Me?"

For this somewhat inexplicable self-proclaimed, Midoriya and Ochako's curiosity was hooked.

"Don't you usually use 'I' to refer to yourself?"

tl/n : they just talking about 'boku' and 'watashi' which is have the same meaning 'I/me' but have difference nuance and politeness, but it's hard to express it in english. It's not quite accurate but 'boku' is just like 'pick me' feel, and watashi is just what normal people use.

Faced with this question, the overly serious and cautious Iida Tenya seemed shy, and he was rarely hesitant.

"No... it's because..."

Midoriya Izuku took this opportunity to ask the question he had been thinking about.

"Actually, I've always been curious."

"Iida, you're really the young master of the prestigious Iida family, are you?"

Iida Tenya's face became very complicated at this. He sighed lightly and explained to his two friends.

"Yes, I am indeed the second son of the prestigious Iida family."

"My family is not the same as the old generation of prestigious families like the Shokuhou family and the Yaoyorozu family. It can be said that it is a pure hero family that has been promoted to the prestigious family in the last three generations."

Although Uraraka and Midoriya were both prepared, they were still inevitably surprised. After all, compared to the two glacier representatives of the Todoroki family, Accelerator and Todoroki, or Yaoyorozu Momo, who is excellent and outstanding from the Yaoyorozu family, the descendants of the prestigious heroes always give people a unique feeling, just like the top seed players in the competition.

Midoriya Izuku didn't think Iida was any less excellent than the other three heirs of prestigious families. On the contrary, Iida's performance since enrollment has not lagged behind the others, except for Accelerator, who is an exception.

Just having such a noble young master treat you as a friend to eat and chat is a particularly fresh feeling for Uraraka Ochako and Midoriya Izuku, who come from commoner backgrounds.

Next, the serious and responsible glasses-wearing man, Iida, specifically introduced his family to his two friends.

"Turbo Hero Ingenium is my older brother."

When he introduced his older brother, his pride was evident on his face, as if he had written the word "proud" on his forehead.

"I'm so envious!"

As a fanatical hero otaku, Midoriya Izuku's reaction is normal.

"Isn't that the professional hero who has sixty-five employee partners in the fourth city and is super loved by the local people!"

"It's so amazing!!"

"A hero who values rules, leads people, and is respected."

"Because I admire my older brother very much, I am determined to become a hero."

"But when it comes to leading people, I don't think I have the qualifications to stand on the starting line yet."

"Unlike Accelerator, for me, the sacred duty of class president is also a huge challenge. I absolutely cannot fail his approval! And I will never let the reputation of the prestigious Iida family be tarnished!"

It seemed that thinking of Accelerator's certain approval of him at the class meeting, he felt that the distance between him and Accelerator had narrowed a bit. One day he would become a hero like his brother, catching up with Accelerator's footsteps. Thinking this way, he couldn't help but smile.

"It feels like it's the first time I've seen you smile, Iida."

Both Midoriya and Uraraka saw Iida smile for the first time in their conversation, feeling that they understood their friend a little more.

"Really? Of course, I can smile."

Just as the trio was having a heated discussion, the urgent alarm sound interrupted their conversation.

"An alarm?!"

All the students in the cafeteria were bewildered until the announcement came out over the campus broadcast.

"Security Level 3 has been breached, all students please evacuate outdoors quickly."

Security Level 3 means that someone has invaded the school building.

All the students crowded into the corridor. This event, which had almost never happened at U.A. High School, caused many people to lose their senses. The more they faced sudden situations, the more people made mistakes because of panic.

"Don't push me!"

"It's so crowded!"

Sitting in the corner, calmly dealing with the food, Accelerator looked up and saw that the people had already moved, leaving the large cafeteria empty.

Listening to the repeated broadcasts and looking at the crowd in the corridor, he looked through the glass window to see the media reporters rushing outside.

He felt that these students were really useless. As aspiring professional heroes, they lost their souls just because of a broadcast. No one thought about and looked for the reason. If they really faced malice, how much could they do? The majority of these students are garbage, these people are no good.

Of course, his sharp eyes also saw the good. For example, the students of Class A in the Hero Department, Kirishima and Kaminari, were trying to calm the crowd. However, they were outnumbered and didn't make much of a splash against the heavy panicked crowd.

Just as he was preparing to meddle and take some measures.

In the crowd, Iida Tenya also saw the truth of the alarm through the glass window. He naturally understood that the more such a situation, the more he should do what ordinary people can't do. So after thinking, he let himself float through Uraraka's Quirk, launched his Quirk in the air, rotating and propelling, this person quickly topped the emergency corridor door.

Iida was seen in a strange position on the ventilation duct above, standing sideways on the green EXIT sign, and then he shouted loudly.

"Everyone! Nothing happened!"

The panicked crowd calmed down a bit because of his shout.

"It's just the media! There's absolutely no need to panic!"

"It's okay! This is U.A.! You guys need to show the action that a student of a top academy should have!"

Accelerator also saw this scene.

He would never misjudge anyone.

Iida Tenya undoubtedly has considerable potential.

In this unexpected event, it shows that he did not lose his calmness in the sudden situation and observed and found the cause of the incident himself. It is probably through the cooperation with Ochako's Quirk and the activation of his own Quirk that he found the right position for the first time.

Finally, through words, he simply, concisely, and boldly attracted everyone's attention and completed the duty of leading people.

Such behavior is very consistent with the identity of a volunteer hero, both serious and efficient are the actions that Accelerator likes to see recently.
