Chapter 26 - Class president ? or not (2/2)

There was silence for a moment.

”So... what made all of you want to be heroes?” Toru asked to try and restart a conversation.

”I want to be like Crimson Riot, the fearless hero!” Kirishima proudly proclaimed almost instantly. Crimson Riot was the hero he had looked up to since he was a kid, and he had always tried to style himself after the man. Crimson Riot was why Kirishima chose to dye his hair red, and spike it up like he did. ”He's the coolest!” Kirishima stood up and howled out.

He got some looks for that.

”Retro! I've always been athletic, and I have flashy looks, and a strong Quirk. It only makes sense that I try to become a hero, right?” Mina didn't really so much choose to become a hero, so much as becoming a hero just felt right to her. She didn't really know what she wanted to do, so becoming a hero had just made sense, and she liked helping people a lot. ”You Shoji?” Mina asked their quiet giant.

”I never thought on it, it was expected of me I guess... my father was a hero-”

”Who is your father?” Toru spoke up over him, and Shoji didn't seem to have a problem answering the question.

”My father is Kakashi... my Quirk is actually a mutation of his Quirk, and my other's Quirk. He's not a very well known hero, he retired from hero work to raise me.” Shoji didn't have much to say. His parents never married, but they stayed together. His mother was a grocery store worker, while his father had retired from hero work and got an office job, so that they could raise him without his life being in danger.

”Oh! You mean Copy-Wheel! He's an old-school hero, his Quirk let him predict and copy martial arts and how villains move.” Momo was a little excited to here about that one. She actually had a signed picture of Copy-Wheel, when she was taken to a hero convention by her mother as a child. ”I wanted to be a hero, so I could put my Quirk to good use.” Momo used her Quirk when she noticed that Mina had forgotten chopsticks, and she made a pair for her. ”With my Quirk, I can help people in almost any situation. It doesn't make sense for me not to become a hero.” Momo furthered her own explaination.

With a Quirk like her Quirk, she would be wasting her potential by doing anything else but being a hero.

”Blublublub.”

”Words Naruto, words.” Mina corrected him with a nudge to the side. He pulled his head out of the bowl, before he looked up at all of them.

”I just want to help people, so that when they see me, they feel like everything is all right. I wouldn't be at this school if having a license wasn't required by law for heroes nowadays.” Naruto then put his head back in the ramen bowl, and forced himself back asleep while eating. Kirishima got up, and grabbed Naruto's wallet, before he went back up to get something more to eat as well.

Naruto was paying for all of them.

”How about you To-”

”Speaking of food, I noticed the other day, but you eat a lot Yaororozu.” Toru pointed out as she looked at Momo's plate, which had more food that Mina and Toru combined. Momo didn't seem to mind being interrupted by the girl, and just nodded.

She showed off her arm and pinched it, showing a small amount of fat there.

”I want to be a hero, so I need to stay in shape, but my Quirk requires I eat a lot. The more I eat, the more material I can produce with my Quirk. I try and stay athletic, and keep a good figure so that I can fight and keep my flexibility, but I also try to maintain a little body fat.” Momo's arms were slim, but they had muscle to them. She also had a small layer of fat to them, but it was hard to notice if you weren't looking. The same applied to most of her body, but thankfully, her Quirk condensed the fat on her body and allowed her to multiply the fat she did have to a certain degree as she transformed it. ”If I was like Ashido, and had no fat, then I would become malnourished by my own Quirk.” Momo looked at Mina's body.

The girl didn't have any visible, non-boob, fat on her body that wasn't needed. She was a purely athletic girl, and because of that with her balanced diet, her physical conditioning was amazing.

”Way better than my Quirk, all I do is get hard.” Kirishima hardened his arm to show off. He was jealous of those with useful and flashy Quirks, since they usually blew his Quirk out of the water in appeal. He was okay in a fight, but he wasn't useful in a bunch of other situations.

Mina covered her mouth.

'Dude... phrasing.' - Mina

'Does he realize...?' - Momo

'He said that at a table with women.' - Shoji

”That's what she said!” Toru shouted, unable to resist anymore with all the talk of getting hard. She rolled onto the floor, giggling her head off at her own joke, and Kirishima's face became as red as his hair when he realized what he had said.

A security alarm started to go off.

Instantly, students started to freak out and try and run towards the exits. Several students were knocked out of their seats, and were swept up in the rush of students, then again most of the students were with the General Courses and Business Courses, so they weren't trained in stuff like hero work. U.A. wasn't just a hero school after all.

”All of you, shut up and calm down!”

Instantly, a giant fox appeared appeared in the middle of the students, a fox whose head reached up to the ceiling. Naruto, having been knocked out of his seat, transformed and towered over the students around him. His deep and booming voice taking command over the cafeteria instantly, his annoyance reaching all of them quickly.

'Ow... ow... ow...'

Toru, Momo, Shoji, Kirishima, and Mina were all on Naruto's head, being pressed up against the ceiling while Naruto made his anger known to everyone.

”It's just the news reporters breaking into the school, look out the windows, the teachers have it handled... all of you get back to your damn seats.” Naruto watched as the students fearfully went back to their seats, threats from a giant fox weren't something to be taken lightly. Naruto sighed and lowered his size, transforming back, and dropping his friends onto back onto their feet.

”Ow.”

Whoops, didn't realize they were on his head when he transformed, since he had been knocked to the ground, transforming must had put them on his head, and thus pushed them into the ceiling.

Maybe now he could get some sleep.
