"Alright, next, let's have 'Midnight' comnt on your hero nas!"
Aizawa Shouta, with his usual deadpan face, wrapped himself in a sleeping bag and lay down on the floor. At this mont, the 18 hero "Midnight," who served as the main referee for the first-year students at the U.A. Sports Festival, stood in front of Hero Course Class A, looking very enthusiastic.
"Hero nas," the main purpose of this Hero Course Class A lesson, was for students to co up with their own hero nas, which would be used during their upcoming hero internships.
However, Aizawa Shouta didn't have many good suggestions for hero nas. Even his own hero na was the simple and unremarkable "Eraserhead."
So, Midnight was here to give aesthetic feedback on the students' hero nas. After all, having a good hero na was important these days. A tongue-twisting and obscure hero na was hard for people to rember.
"So, who wants to go first?"
"! !!"
When Midnight asked the question, the pink-haired girl Ashido Mina excitedly raised her hand, eager to go first.
"Hero nas, huh..."
Midoriya looked at the writing board in front of him, deep in thought. Midnight had asked the students to write their hero nas on the board and bring them up for feedback, but Midoriya still didn't have a clear idea for his hero na.
By the way, as a prerequisite for hero internships, coming up with a hero na was essential. So, Midoriya Izuku was also in Class A with everyone else.
"Midoriya, have you thought of your hero na?"
Takeyama Urei, sitting next to him, tapped his desk and asked with concern. Midoriya ca back to his senses and saw the girl's curious expression. He shook his head helplessly:
"Not yet. I'll think about it after the other students go first..."
Midoriya Izuku, who hadn't decided yet, was like many other students deep in thought. anwhile, Ashido Mina happily ran up to the podium and showed her writing board to everyone.
"Alien Hero 'Alien Queen'! How about it, cool, right?!"
"Rejected! That's already at the level of a horror movie. Are you planning to recreate 'Alien'?!"
Midnight fully rejected Ashido Mina's unreliable hero na. This was why Aizawa Shouta had her host the naming event. Most of Class A's students were quite unreliable...
After Ashido, the second person to go up was Bakugo Katsuki, who always looked like soone owed him millions. He showed his writing board to the classmates with a fierce look in his eyes.
"King Explosion Murder!"
"...You should change that na..."
Midnight-sensei looked speechless. Does Hero Course Class A have so many troublemakers? Why do their hero nas sound like villain nas?
"Rainy Season Hero [Froppy]"
"Very nice, it gives a friendly feeling!"
The third student to go on stage after Bakugo was Asui Tsuyu. Midnight-sensei finally felt relieved; at least there were so good students in Class A.
"My turn! Sturdy Hero [Red Riot]!!"
"[Crimson Riot]? I see, this is a tribute to the hero [Crimson Riot], right?!"
Kirishima Eijiro, holding a na board on the podium, had his hero na's aning seen through by Midnight-sensei at a glance.
"Yes!" Kirishima, feeling a bit embarrassed that his idea was seen through, said, "Because my most admired hero is [Crimson Riot]. It may be a bit old-fashioned, but the hero image I aspire to is [Red]!"
"Well... Carrying the na of your idol cos with great pressure!" Midnight teased Kirishima with a hint of intimidation.
Kirishima clenched his fists and confird with determination, "I've been ready for a long ti!!
"A na similar to your most admired hero..."
Midoriya Izuku looked at Kirishima with envy. He had also thought about taking a na similar to [All Might]... but in the end, he gave up...
"A hero na is more important to than life itself. It represents everything about ..."
All Might's recent words echoed in Midoriya's ears. He fell into deep thought... For him... was there a na that could represent everything about him?
While Midoriya was thinking, the naming event continued. The students went on stage one by one to show their hero nas to everyone and received comnts from Midnight-sensei.
...
...
"Uravity!"
"Good! Very nice na!"
Uraraka Ochako, whose hero na received praise, noticed Midoriya Izuku deep in thought as she walked off the stage. It seed he hadn't decided on his hero na yet.
"Giant Hero [Goliath]!"
"Very good, nad after the famous giant in the [Bible], but be careful of King David!"
Takeyama Urei's hero na also received praise from Midnight-sensei, but she added a flag with a hint of malice.
The story of [Goliath]:
One of the famous giants in legend. According to the [Bible], Goliath was a Philistine general who led an attack on the Israeli army. He had imnse strength, and everyone who saw him retreated, not daring to fight. In the end, the shepherd boy David hit Goliath's head with a slingshot and cut off his head.
"Shoto."
"Using your real na directly, are you kidding?"
"Yes!"
The very unique Todoroki Shoto made Midnight-sensei hold her head in frustration. Using one's real na as a hero na was almost extinct these days.
After that, almost everyone in Hero Course Class A went on stage to show their hero nas. Midnight-sensei counted and found that only two people hadn't gone on stage yet: Iida Tenya and Midoriya Izuku.
Knowing he was the last one, Iida Tenya walked up to the podium with a conflicted expression and showed his hero na.
"Tenya..."
"You are using your real na too? Whatever... I don't want to say anything!" Midnight was speechless. The students in Class A were too quirky.
At this mont, Midoriya Izuku noticed the expression on Iida Tenya's face, a mix of worry and frustration... He was recalling the news he saw after the sports festival.
"Pro Hero 'Ingenium' was severely injured by the Hero Killer and is hospitalized—according to the hospital, 'Ingenium' may no longer be able to work as a hero."
"Is it because of his brother's accident..."
Midoriya Izuku felt very sorry for 'Ingenium' and was also very worried about Iida Tenya. This upright classmate's most admired person was his brother.
No matter what Midoriya was worried about, now the entire Class A was looking at him. Everyone else had already presented their hero nas, and he was the last one.
Hurriedly writing his hero na on the board, Midoriya Izuku stood on the podium.
Midoriya Izuku had thought a lot about his hero na. He had rejected all the nas he had previously co up with in All Might's style; they didn't fit...
"A hero na is more important to than life itself. It represents everything about ..."
All Might's words were deeply rembered by Midoriya Izuku. What na could represent him?
That was the na he told his most admired person, All Might, when they first t, the na he used to disguise his identity at that mont.
"Akaya Kaiun!"
