What a laziness... Lena thought as she walked in the rain with an umbrella. I don't want to go... I want to sleep more...

The free gods that UA gave them to relax were over and, even though the two days of rest were amazing she still wanted to rest more, especially since I can't sleep well after the... kiss.

Blushing at the memory of the scene Lena quickened her pace until she reached UA's big door, a few news reporters could still be seen but the vast majority had left after UA almost sued them.

After a few minutes Lena arrived at her classroom, opened the door and made her way to her seat as she greeted some of her classmates.

"Hey Lena! How were the two days off!" Toru asked as her approached Lena's desk before Lena put her head against her arms in an attempt to sleep.

"They were pretty good" Lena replied stifling a sigh for the ever energetic Toru. "Though I would have liked to sleep a little more, my Uncle and a friend of my father's are visiting my house, they're pretty loud when they start talking"

"Eh... it must be pretty lively then" Said Momo joining the conversation.

"Fifty-fifty, they get to talking about a lot of scientific stuff in half the living room for hours, and other times they're super quiet while they do... whatever they do in the basement" Lena explained as she put her hands on her cheek leaning back from her desk. "I'm not complaining, but I wish they'd keep their voices down when I'm sleeping.

Just then the classroom door opened to reveal Kyo with a dark aura around her as she made her way to her desk reluctantly, looking closer Kyo seemed to be a bit soaked with water, possibly from the rain.

"Hey Kyo... is everything alright?" asked Lena with concern approaching Kyoka, the latter stared at her for a moment before looking away.

"Y-Yeah, just the rain caught me by surprise and I had to come running" Kyoka said clearing Lena's concern with a shake of her head, also to hide her slightly flushed cheeks.

"Oh. Hey Momo could you-" Before Lena could finish speaking Momo had already created three hair dryers to warm Kyo up.

After a few minutes Kyoka was dry again although her clothes were a bit wrinkled, she said she didn't mind as she thanked us with a small smile on her face. Just at that moment Aizawa entered the classroom, making all the students sit in silence in less than a second watching him walk up to the podium and look at them with his characteristic bored look.

"Good morning" Aizawa greeted as he nodded as he watched them sit down and orderly.

"""Good morning!"""

"I'm glad you can take off your bandages already" Tsu said as she pointed at Aizawa.

"The old hag was making a fuss about my treatment" Aizawa said, suppressing a shudder at the memory of the old witch's treatments. "Moving on to a more relevant topic, today we will be doing something different from the previous days."

Another test? Thought all the students in Class 1A as they looked at Aizawa cautiously. Most of the students wanted to give themselves a break from the physical tests after the Festival where they had to give their all to advance in the tests. Let it not be a test. Let it not be a test.

Stop praying... Aizawa thought with amusement although it didn't show on his expressionless face. "It's a key moment in a hero's entire history. "Today... you are going to choose your Hero Names."

"""UA IS AWESOME!!!""""

"Shut up. Before the names,i'm going to talk about the nominations. As I said before the Professional Heroes will send nominations or invitations to the participants of the festival to work as Temporary Heroes in the so called Hero Internships that serve for a Rookie Hero or Apprentice Hero to gain experience in a safe and secure way. Before you choose which Heroes or Agency you want to intern with, let me warn all of you to choose very carefully which Hero or Agency to intern with, remember this is not an opportunity, look for a Hero that suits your type of Hero you want to be or an aspect you want to improve, be it a fighting style, a better use for your Quirk, etc." Explained Aizawa as he looked around at various students before pressing a button on the pod made numbers appear on the classroom whiteboard.

...

1st — Todoroki Shoto — 4531
2nd — Kyoka Jiro — 2493
3rd — Lena Oxton — 1523
4th — Fumikage — 937
5th — Momo Yaoyorozu — 842
6th — Izuku Midoriya — 143
7th — Uraraka Ochaco — 83

...

"Normally nominations are around 1000-500 if they get a lot of attention, Todoroki's nominations are an anomaly" Aizawa finished explaining.

"Surely my father's influence..." Todoroki muttered with bitterness in his voice but no one paid it any mind as they shouted out of frustration and others out of excitement.

"I-I get nominations!!" Midoriya exclaimed stunned by the recent development, originally he thought he wouldn't get nominations because of his poor use of his Quirk along with the fact that no Hero wants to have to pay medical bills every time he uses it.

But somehow he had managed to get nominations!

"*Whistling* Kyoka! Congratulations on being the second with the most nominations!" Praised Karishima making the whole class come back to praise Kyoka for second place.

This made the girl in question blush as she shifted nervously in her seat, before saying a few words of thanks with a small smile despite the embarrassment she felt.

"Well that was more nominations than I imagined I would have" Lena said a little surprised at the amount of nominations before frowning at the amount of Heroes she will have to analyse to make a good decision.

"At least you had some... WHY DIDN'T I?" Toru said in a sad voice while pointing at herself.

"Maybe because you only showed some little tricks and didn't show what else your Quirk could do, plus how you don't know how to melee and most villain fights are in close quarters where it's hard to aim-"

"I GET IT!" Toru exclaimed as she collapsed in her seat with a cloud over her head causing Momo to go over and try to comfort her in panic at her own words.

After a few minutes of the students talking amongst themselves Aizawa had enough and threatened to expel them all if they didn't shut up, which worked wonders if perfect silence was anything to go by.

"*Haa* Alright now about the names-"

"Let's judge them to see if their hero names are fit or not!" said Midnight interrupting Aizawa with a dramatic entrance as she looked at all the students with a predatory look. "How can they not be heroes if they don't have an attractive name, right? HAHAHAHA"

"*Haa* Midnight will evaluate your names to decide if you are suitable or not. Keep in mind that the name must be original and creative, you've heard the saying 'From the name comes nature'? Basically it means that depending on the names we have we are more likely to think or do certain actions. An example of this is 'All Might'" explained Aizawa as he left the podium and leaned back against a wall in boredom.

"That's right, also remember that this name may be the one you use after you graduate so it's a very important decision!" Midnight said with a smile as she watched the class from the podium.

"I see" Said Lena before raising her hand pointing at Midnight. "Then why is her hero name Midnight?"

"I don't think so-"

"Good question!" Said Midnight as her breathing got a little faster and her eyes set hearts "Let me explain to you how I came up with my name... During high school I-"

"No" Interrupted Aizawa as he blocked Midnight's mouth with his scarf, before looking at the class with dead eyes. "Make your names and shut up!"

 

 

"Well I think that's enough time. Those of you who are ready to give your name stand up from your desk and come to the podium!" Midnight announced after giving a glance at the clock.

Ashido immediately stood up with a small slate in her hand (which was given to all the students) and presented with a big proud smile her Hero name. "My name will be... Alien Queen!!!"

"No" Midnight immediately replied with a roll of her eyes.

"WHY?!" Ashido asked with a surprised shout.

"Copyright, plus you want to be seen as someone who kidnaps people, lays alien eggs and spits acid?" Midnight explained.

"Tch" Ashido returned to her seat with a sour face.

"I've already got mine!" Announced Karishima after Ashido's attempt, getting up from his seat and walking up to the podium with a slightly embarrassed smile "I'll be Red Riot!"

"Ohhh, as Crimson Riot?" asked Midnight with surprise, that was a very respected hero in the old days and very popular amongst the populace due to his personality and steely mentality.

"That's right! I think he's an amazing hero even if he is a bit old. He was one of the main reasons why I want to become a Hero" Karishima explained while looking at his hand before clenching it into a fist as he said: "He was the one who motivated me to step forward in a dark moment, and I want to honour him with this name by way of thanks, even if he doesn't know when or how he helped me, I will always be grateful to him".

"That's admirable. But you know you'll have to carry a lot of expectations for that name right?" Midnight warned although she had a feeling Karishima wouldn't mind that detail in the slightest.

"I don't mind!" replied Karishima with determination and firmness in his voice. "I will be ready when the time comes. If there is no safe place for people... then I will become the safe place for people!!!"

Unbeknownst to Karishima he had unconsciously gained the respect of most of his classroom and even managed to impress the teachers. And although he himself had not realised until much later in the future that it was at this very moment that he had taken a solid step forward in his goal of becoming one of the greatest heroes, not because of his strength, not because of his speed, not because of his power, but because of his willpower.

The name proposals went on for quite some time as each student racked their brains trying to think of a good name. Some were accepted immediately, such as Tsu or Momo. Others went through several changes before they were finally accepted, such as Ashido or Tokoyami. Others were simply bad names, like Todoroki or Kaminari. And others...

"FLYING EXPLOSIVE GOD FLYING NUCLEAR BOMBER KILLER!"

"Do you want to announce a bombing?. No"

"PLANET DESTROYER BOMB!"

"We haven't gone to other planets yet. No"

"SPACE CITY MAN BOMB!"

"Are you even trying? No"

"FLYING DEATH EXPLOSIVE!"

"NO!"

Better not to talk about Bakugo, who by the way, seems to have regained his spirits after the festival, although he wasn't shouting as much as before.

The last ones left were Lena who was looking out the window with a pensive face, Midoriya who was looking up at the ceiling while scratching her head, Lida who was staring with a blank face at nothing, and the abnormal Bakugo, who, well it was Bakugo.

After a few seconds Lena stood up and went to the podium with the whiteboard in her hand, she looked around the room before relaying what she wrote on her board which was....

"My name will be Tracer, The Heroine who traces time."

Good morning to everyone, or well nights to me, before anyone says anything, if I'm late with the chapters my bad. Although in my defence a very weird thing happened that affected me quite a bit the last few days, so yeah, life sucks.

On another note that has nothing to do with my emotional health, I was thinking about what fanfic to do after this thing, as you know I'm going to give it a rest after season 2 which is just around the corner.

If you're not interested then ignore not next and the poll at the end:

Spoiler

I was thinking on a Dragon Ball Fanfic, mainly because I couldn't find any story I liked, so I said "Fuck it I'll write it myself"

The idea would basically be to introduce a character that would be like Gohan's twin sister but likes to fight, and that would be a very quick summary. It will follow the DBZ story and if I feel like continuing the story I guess Super will too but that's a long term plan.

The other idea that crossed my mind a few weeks ago was a Minecraft fanfic, yeah I know, Minecraft fanfic whaaaat?

The story will be in the Minecraft world but not inside Minecraft, so no cubes. It will be about a young man who starts to become interested in the past of the world. What is the Nether? Why are there ruins in the ocean? Why are there Zombies? What is the Experience?, etc. Well that's the idea I had at 3am.... I happen to be writing this at 3am too lol.

Those are the two options I have in mind at the moment, there are more but they are not that well thought out and I'm lazy to think more.

[collapse]

Well that was it, bye bye, have a nice day.

And I hope I have a nice one too, I need it.
