Representative Elections
All-Might temporarily stopping Hero Work to teach in UA caused an uproar in all of Japan.
Moreover, students find themselves harassed on the way to school in a bid to root out those in Hero Classes.
For Shizuku who comes 15 minutes before bell and asked questions,
'Oh sorry, we can't talk about that.' she said with a bright, sweet smile while speaking in very formal keigo. 'A VIP is in school after all and thus, All-Might-sensei is treated as such. Try catching him after school though.'
'THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!' the Reporters whined, eyes popping out of their sockets. 'We stalk here for days and we can't catch him!'
Impossible because the man literally flies out of the school roof like a rocket!
"There, I have media exposure now." Shizuku thought. "Now those guys will know where I am soon enough."
Sure enough, elsewhere in Japan...
25 years old Kudou Reiji, a wealthy businessman working in a Company for Medicine watched the news later that day in the Morning News Hero Network.
His phone rang. On his Caller ID was Shirabuki Kaito.
'Hai?'
/Tsuna-chan~/
'Ah, Byakuran, see the news this morning?'
/Yup! Found Yuni-chan! Never thought she'd try out for Heroics though...what possessed her?/ Byakuran wondered aloud.
'Beats me, probably from family reasons.' said Tsuna. 'Let's hack the City Hall so we can visit! When are you available?'
/This sunday, why?/
'Humm, I'll have to clear out my Sunday Sched then!' said Tsuna cheerfully. 'Paperwork can wait!'

'Its a ruckus outside, its hard to get in here!' Mina complained.
'No kidding, those guys are so invasive!' Iida scowled.
'It was tough.' said Todoroki, being Endeavor's son.
'I had a hard time squeezing in I literally had to climb onto the walls...I'm just glad security didn't ring on me!' Mineta griped.
'You have a school ID, of course Security won't ring on you.' Mezo pointed out.
'All-Might-sensei teaching sure is a big-time thing huh?' Momo mused thoughtfully.
'Actually, its a bad thing.' Shizuku drawled as all eyes on her, wide-eyed and bulging.
'BAD THING?!' everyone howled.
'Whyyyy?!'
'He's one of our coolest teachers!'
'Think of it this way...' Shizuku sighed. 'He's famous worldwide. Strength. Ability. Charisma. Popularity. He's top-notch in all traits. As a teacher, he is highly expected to pop out heroes with all four traits maxed-out to 100%. Pressure is thus on him in a demanding way.' she explained. 'So teachers will rain hell on us to fulfill this expectation or the media will roast us alive.' she pointed out. 'On our end, other rival schools will expect a lot out of us and if we meet in school functions, they'll go all out on us and no holding back, thinking we're super-strong under All-Might-sensei's teachings. Thus our two classes of A and B are under insane pressure. But the one under the worst pressure is sensei.'
'Indeed...so don't expect us teachers to go easy on you.' said Aizawa, going in class. 'Homeroom's starting! Sit down!'
Upon the students sitting down...
'Good work on yesterday's training. I already have your grades here.' said Aizawa, putting a wad of papers on the desk. 'You all have a lot of growing up to do. Now, starting homeroom business...'
"Is it another brutal pop quiz?!"
'...today, you'll pick your Class Representative!'
'SUDDENLY, A NORMAL SCHOOL THING!' the kids gasped out.
In normal schools, Class Reps do mundane tasks so nobody wants to do it.
But in a Hero School like UA...its another thing entirely. It means you're to be the leader of the next generation!
So almost everyone raised their hands.
Except for Todoroki and Shizuku.
'I'd like to do it.' said Jirou.
'In my administration all girls will show 30cm of thighs!' Mineta cried, earning him a literal tongue-lashing from Asui.
'I wanna be president! Lemme do it!' Kirishima howled excitedly.
'This position is made for me!' Aoyama purred flirtatiously.
'I wanna be a leader~!' Mina squealed.
'Sensei please pick me!' Momo gushed out.
So it was essentially...self-volunteering, to Aizawa's annoyance yet once doesn't volunteer, he noted since this one was already a Class Rep once. Its fine, its good to give others chances. Its bad being a glory hog and all. But Todoroki clearly isn't interested about being Class Rep, he noted.
'Ahn? Shizuku you ain't volunteering?' Bakugo blinked. 'Its weird since you did the job for three years.'
'I've been one for three effing years with you in my class for three straight years, I want to retire!' Shizuku scoffed. 'Someone else should be the Rep next.'
'Hah, then in that case I'm volunteering!' Bakugo chirped.
'Just be sure the teachers won't depose you.' Shizuku snorted.
'Quiet down everyone!' Iida cried, banging his hands on his desk to shut everyone up. 'Leading the many is a heavy responsibility!' he chided as he took on his usual uptight, serious expression while waving his arms robotically. 'But ambition does not equate to ability! This sacred office demands the trust of its constituents! If this is a Democracy, I put forward the motion that our true leader must be selected by ELECTION!' at the same time raising his hand, volunteering himself!
'THIS IS A CLASSROOM NOT A CONGRESS!' everybody yelled, the tsukkomi to bokke and in this case, Iida was the bokke as indeed, its a classroom not a congress. But its also right that Class Reps are chosen by votes.
'Iida-chan, we hardly know each other enough to build that kinda trust to get votes.' Asui pointed out.
'And everyone will just vote for themselves!' Kirishima pointed out.
'That is precisely why everyone must earn the most votes so a person chosen is indeed best suited for the job!' said Iida. 'Will you allow this, sensei?!'
'Sure, just make it quick.' said Aizawa, slipping into his sleeping bag.
So all names are written on the board...with Shizuku asking her name to be erased out of 'wanting retirement'.
'EHHH?!'
'I'm Class Rep for three years! So yes I'm retiring so erase my name on the board!' so Momo erased her name...and everyone else began pointing fingers at who they like instead.
For the boy's side, it was a tough decision while for the girls, Momo was the Female Rep.
'MAKE IT QUICK ALREADY!' Aizawa yelled. 'You only got five minutes before your next class!'
'Voting will get us nowhere! I'll Decide on your Male Rep!' Momo gasped out. 'It's Present Mic-sensei's class next!'
Thus she wrote traits on the board.
Organizational Skills
Communication Skills
Motivational Skills
Delegating Skills
Always Seeing the Positive
Charismatic
Creativity
Trustworthiness
Responsibility
Feedback
Commitment
Flexibility
'I want all boys to write down on paper how you see these traits! The one who gives me the best answers will score the job!' Momo declared.
'EHHHH?!'
'Uwa that's Yaomomo for you!' Jirou gasped in amazement.
'That's our girl leader!' Mina beamed as Momo blushed at the praise.
'A-anyway, you got ten minutes to decide! I'll go out and ask Present Mic-sensei for an extension, we're scrapped for time!' and Momo scampered out of class.
'Well, this is gonna be fun.' Tooru grinned. 'Promoting yourself this way...I never heard of this method!'
'I'll say, I haven't thought such a thing was possible.' said Asui. 'Saves us time too.'
'I hope its a good one.' Jirou grunted at the idea of Mineta being Male Rep. Really, shorter skirts? That's basically declaring they're to go to school on microminis! She dreaded the idea and only Tooru's safe!
And so, Present Mic came in, cackling.
'You guys sure look constipated! Lighten up, yeah?' he snorted as Aizawa's bag zipped open. 'Ten minutes to promote oneself as leader is one tough job, you're a scary girl Yaoyorozu!'
'Homeroom Time is too short for this.' Momo sighed. 'So I suggested this way instead.'
And so...the boys gave her their papers.
Momo read them all while the class is in bated breath.
But she was stuck on two papers while other papers...are in the trash bin!
"WHOSE are THOSE?!" the class wondered while the boys save for Todoroki are sweating buckets.
'...Iida-san, Todoroki-san, your answers are equally very good...so let's decide this the fair way.' said Momo. 'Jankenpon! The one who scores 5 first, wins! Come up at front for your match!'
'Huh? What's their answers? Lemme see?' Present Mic asked as Momo gave him the papers while the two boys stood up to go at front.
'M-May the best man win!' said Iida nervously while Todoroki looked blank.
In just as blank expression, he asked, '...how do you play it?'
Silent Beat.
'EEEEEEHHHHH?!'
'WHAT ARE YOU, SOME KINDA BOCCHAMA?!'
'WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT, EVEN BOCCHAMAS KNOW HOW TO PLAY JANKENPON!'
'WHAT ROCK DO YOU LIVE UNDER?!'
After Todoroki was taught how, it was a vicious battle and it took several minutes just to score a point!
'Hahahaha! This is more exciting Shouta! You got the most fun class, I'm darn jealous!' Present Mic howled in laughter as Aizawa prepared to leave.
'Tell me the results later OK? I got class...' and he left, thinking, "How the hell did choosing Class Reps end in this?"
Later that morning, it was Todoroki who won.

Lunch Time...
'This morning was exciting isn't it~' said Ochako as their class sat together for lunch.
'Yeah, Homeroom's usually so brutal but Yaoyorozu made it fun!' said Kaminari.
'Todoroki's now Male Class Rep huh? What'll you...' Aoyama asked when the alarms rang.
SECURITY LEVEL 3 HAS BEEN BROKEN. a female computer voice spoke. PLEASE PROCEED TO EVACUATE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION.
'What's Security Level 3?!'
'It means somebody's broken the school barriers! We're invaded!'
'Yeah it never happened in my entire three years, only today!'
Chaos ensued.
"Saa Momo-san, Todoroki-san, what will you two do?" Shizuku chuckled as she stayed behind on purpose, already knowing the cause why but concealed herself using Illusions. However, the two did not do anything, being too rule-abiding people...she thought they have lots more to work on.
She mailed the Principal regarding what she saw.

'A man did this according to intel.' said Nezu grimly as his fellow heroes watched the disintegrated barrier. 'Just one touch, and this is the result. He aimed to get information but I'm one step ahead of him thanks to our Eyes. I managed to do Info Lockdown on our systems and unleashed all my viruses.' he grinned darkly.
'Did the cameras catch anything?' Kayama-sensei wondered.
'Sadly, the camera's shot. Literally.' said Snipe, taking out a damaged camera. 'We better ask the reporters on who their helper is and their actions caused a schoolwide panic in the cafeteria. This cannot be overlooked.' he grumbled.
'I agree, the students thought we're invaded.' said Ishiyama. 'Well, technically we are...'
'Media these days are impossible.'
'We'll make a statement to the media after we speak to the reporters.' said Nezu. 'Ishiyama-sensei, rebuild our barrier.'
'OK!'

After school...
'Midoriya, can we talk?' Todoroki asked Shizuku subtly by passing her by. 'Library.'
And so...
'What do you like to talk about, Todoroki-kun?' Shizuku asked him.
'...what's it like being a Class Representative?' he asked her. 'I only volunteered out of obligation and expectation but I have no idea where to even start.' he admitted. 'And you have three years of experience I felt I can count on you for ideas.'
'I see...well, here's what I usually do but do this in your own way and style since Bakugo knows my methodologies...'
