Chapter 26 - Class president ? or not (1/2)
Tired.
Waking up at 1 Am in the morning to move into the dorms, after having no real sleep since his kidnapping, and being forced to go through an extremely stamina draining thing such as Recovery Girl healing had taken a lot out of him. So, practically the second Shota had gotten into class for the morning and called attendance, Naruto's head hit the desk and he went to sleep. Since the other students weren't going to learn that they were going to be asked, not forced, to move into the dorms during the weekend, Naruto was just going to go along with everything quietly until then.
'This sucks... got detention with Aizawa this afternoon... Naruto looks tired as hell.' Kirishima glanced back at Naruto, and grinned.
He was just happy Naruto was safe with them.
”Zzzzzz.”
'... I'll let it slide this time... but next time, he's getting a week's worth of detentions for that.' Shota had noticed Naruto sleeping as well, but instead of let this get in the way of class, he could sympathize with Naruto's need for sleep after his long few days he's had. He would hate to have to wake Naruto up, just as much as he would hate it if somebody woke him up from a nice nap.
Thankfully, Naruto put his homework on his desk, already finished, and he had a recorder next to his head, to record the day's lesson, so Naruto actually seemed pretty well prepared to learn while sleeping.
He would allow the sleep this one time.

”I'm not waking him up to tell him he's Class President.” Kirishima raised his hands up in surrender. He wasn't stepping on that landmine, no matter what anyone said to him. Last time he woke up a tired Naruto, he got punched in the face for it. Naruto's first response to getting rudely woken up was to hit whatever woke him up, anyone who had seen it happen knew this much.
”Nope.” Mina crossed her arms with a grin.
She had been there when Kirishima got punched, and it had been hilarious. It was Mina and Kirishima's reactions to waking Naruto that got the rest of the class pale and sweating over the idea of what was going to happen to them. Everyone also remembered how Naruto treated All Might, and suddenly, even Bakugo didn't feel like being the one to wake Naruto up.
”Vice President, if you will.” Shota was having none of their irrational fear, so he orodered Momo to take care of it. If she was going to be the Vice President, then she was going to need to work with Naruto a lot to make the class run smoothly for the teachers. The girl nodded her head and started to walk towards Naruto, placing her hand on top of his shoulder. Kirishima and Mina winced, waiting for the punch that Momo was going to get for it. Naruto just ġrȯȧnėd and rolled his head to the side, opening a single eye to look at her.
She froze.
”Oh, Momo... whatcha want?” Naruto yawned and sat back up.
She pointed at the chalkboard.
”You are the Class President, and I'm the Vice President. We were voted by the class, so I hope to get along-”
”What the hell Naruto! When I woke you up, you punched me out of a window!?” Kirishima felt a little pissed, so Naruto stood up and walked up to the front of class with Momo. Usually, Class President was reserved for those who had the potential to be a top hero. Naruto could guess that since everyone knew he did illegal hero work sometimes, that they believed he was the most heroic of them, and deserved the position.
He gestured to Momo.
”You woke me up by coming into my room, and screaming at me... of course I'm going to hit you. Anyway... I don't want it... you, glasses... Tenya right? You look like you follow the rules... Class President is yours.” Naruto went back to his seat after giving away his position. He left Tenya in shock when he was just given such an important position. Naruto's head touched the table again, and he was out like a light.
For five seconds.
”Thank you so much! I will do my best to-”
”Shut up!” Naruto shouted as he snapped awake again, punched Tenya across the classroom, and out of the window, before he slumped his head on the desk again. Funny enough, Tokoyama had opened the window just as Naruto punched Tenya out of it. He had enough sense to do it the second the glasses boy had started to scream at Naruto his thanks.
Kirishima felt vindicated.
-Lunch-
”Dude... that's gross... and I'm surprised your joining us Shoji.” Kirishima saw Shoji drinking an energy drink, no lunch, through his mask. Sitting at their small lunch table now was Toru, Mina, Naruto, Kirishima, Shoji, and Momo had been added to their small little group. Naruto just had his face in a bowl of ramen, literally, eating and sleeping at the same time. He was slurping the noodles, drinking the broth, and snoring all at the same time. It was gross, but Mina was having fun with it, pulling Naruto's head out of the ramen, and switching him to another bowl of noodles, just for him to do a repeat of it all.
Shoji nodded to him and raised his energy drink.
They had kind of bonded over the Naruto Rescue Mission, so it made sense for them to sit at a lunch table together.
”I just wanted to ask... why did you all skip class yesterday?” Momo asked them curiously, the real reason she sat with them actually was to find that out. They had missed the entire school day, so it made sense for her to try and find out why.
Food vanished into Toru's mouth.
”We were totes saving Naruto from a freaky yandere girl! It was super scary, but it really made me feel like a hero when Naruto thanked us!” Toru couldn't help but almost shout that too loudly. She yelped when Naruto opened an eye and glanced at her, before he closed his eye and fell unconscious again. ”We got in a lot of trouble.” Toru mentioned with rub of her head, that nobody could see.
Mina grabbed Naruto's wallet and walked up towards the Pro Hero in charge of lunch, before she used his money to buy another two cheap bowls of ramen. Coming back to the table, she sat one down in front of Naruto and dunked his head in it. She put the next in front of herself and dug into her own lunch. Naruto had offered to allow them all to use his wallet to get themselves lunch today, since some of them needed to recover their stamina after getting burned or stabbed saving him.
”I see... that explains why U.A. is in some legal trouble...” Momo whispered to herself.
She had heard the news mentioning parents wanting to pull their kids from U.A., since apparently a super strong student had been kidnapped and tortured to near-death. She had been curious who could have been kidnapped, and it would explain why Naruto was so tired. Actually, if it happened after Naruto fought the guy that tried to blow himself up, then Naruto could have been captured when he was already half-dead.
