Chapter 45 - Nominations

...

"Why Tracer?" Midnight asked with a raised eyebrow and a hand on her hip. "I'm not saying it's wrong but..."

"When I activate my Quirk it leaves a light blue trail when I move and it reminded me of the lines tracers leave" Lena explained with a shrug. "Besides, I couldn't think of anything better than this."

Midnight put a finger to her cheek thoughtfully before nodding her head towards Lena. "It doesn't have a deep meaning, but it's easy to remember and kind of catchy, approved." 

"AND WHY WASN'T MY NAME ACCEPTED?!"

"SHUT UP FUCKING KAMIKAZE!"

After a few minutes of Lena's name presentation, Midoriya stood up and presented his name, which.... well, Lena was beginning to wonder if the boy was a total Simp of Uraraka or Bakugo. Maybe both.

Iida and Bakugo took a few more minutes until finally Iida stood up. Like Todoroki, Iida only put his name... a bit anticlimactic, really.

"Just your name?" Midnight asked with a bored pose looking at Iida's name with disdain, the latter just nodded silently before sitting back down.

In the end, Bakugo couldn't come up with a good name so during practice he was told to use his name, to which the explosive boy smiled saying, "That's better, my name is always the best."

Which didn't make much sense to the class, but hey, it's Bakugo you can't ask him to think too much.

"Alright now that you all have your names you can now choose which Professional Hero or Agency you want to do your internship with, remember this decision is very important for your future as Heroes, take your time to think and make the best decision according to your own criteria" Explained Aizawa as he said goodbye to Midnight. "You have two days to decide who to do your internships with, those of you who did not get nominated here is a list of 40 AU funded agencies where you can do internships on our behalf."

After that he handed each nominee their papers with options to choose from. Todoroki had what appeared to be a huge piece of paperwork with information on the 4000+ agencies and Heroes.

Lena and Kyoka were in no better state with the thousands of applications for the internship.

A few minutes later the bell rang signaling the end of the school day, quickly they each carefully grabbed their papers and went straight home to spend the next two days thinking carefully about their choice for a Hero Internship.

Kyoka invited Lena to her house to read the nominations calmly, fortunately Kyoka's parents were not home at the time, otherwise they might have bothered Kyoka all day saying that she had finally brought a friend home.

***

The walk was fun with typical banter between the two, and they agreed to go out to see a movie some day when they were free along with Momo and Toru. 

Kyoka entered a housing development where there was a large group of houses with a basketball court at the back of the development, some kids could be seen running and jumping around while pretending to be Heroes.

'Who knew I once made fun of them and now I'm aspiring to become a Hero...' Lena thought with a wry smile.

They had finally arrived at Kyoka's house. 

Lena was a bit surprised, sure it wasn't a huge mansion like Momo's, but it was a bit bigger than her own house. Kyoka's house was a big white house with a modern style that centered on the few but big windows around it.

Once inside you could see a few things that weren't incredibly luxurious but you could tell a mile away that they were of very high quality.

"Your house is beautiful!" Lena exclaimed as she kicked off her shoes and looked around the living room. "I didn't expect it to be so spacious."

"Thank you" Kyoka nodded as she showed her around a bit. "After giving up their music career my parents decided to buy a house in a quiet place since they just got married at that time, and they bought this house, apparently it was in pretty bad shape before so the price was pretty low, and with some contacts from mom they were able to remodel it with almost no expense"

"Umm" Lena hummed as she looked around the place, some pictures and musical decorations could be seen all over the walls, there was a comfortable black colored sofa in front of a huge TV on the wall with some big speakers.

Seeing Lena admiring the huge TV, Kyoka quickly pulled her out of her daze and took her to her room.

Opening the door Lena saw that Kyoka's room was quite spacious, the walls were painted a dark purple color, her bed was big enough to occupy two people, three if you wanted to sleep a little tight. The sheets were a black color with small purple flowers resembling Mourning Flowers.

Perhaps most surprising were all the guitars and basses hanging as decorations along the wall.

"Okey, your room almost exactly how I pictured it" Lena commented as she took a close look at the entire room. "Although I pictured it much more cluttered..."

"Sorry to disappoint you, and I like to tidy up my things" Kyoka replied dryly as she set her bag on top of the bed. "The room that's messy is my parents' room."

Lena chuckled under her breath as Kyoka pulled out a little gray table and a couple of purple cushions.

After chatting for a while, the two girls got down to business and began to read all the papers carefully.

***

"How lazy..." Lena muttered as she looked at paper after paper with detailed information about each Hero, their places of work, their type of work, their Quirk, their specialties, and a very long etc. "This is a pain in the ass"

"Tell me about it" Kyoka muttered next to me while also looking at paper after paper, I wasn't having any luck. "I just want to be an Underground Hero damn it...is that too much to ask?"

"This is a freaking Exhibitionist Heroine!!!" Lena exclaimed with flushed cheeks as she ripped the paper to shreds. "I know I'm sexy as hell but I don't need to display it in public to affirm that fact...".

Kyoka ignored her, or tried to, but a blush was evident on her face before she turned her attention back to the nominations. "Most of them are Heroes I don't even know- WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"What's up?" Lena asked curiously as she looked at Kyoka. "Something good?"

"...Hero Number 6...Edgeshot..."

Kyoka's mind went blank for a moment, she was too stunned by the Nomination of one of Japan's Top 10. She continued to read the paper as her eyes grew bigger and bigger. "This...this is perfect...this is just what I wanted to do."

"Looks like you found a big fish, Kyo!" Lena congratulated before pouncing on Kyoka and giving her a tight hug that made the little girl blush heavily but she was also very happy for the opportunity to learn from one of the best current Heroes, unconsciously she hugged Lena back.

'God she's so cute!' thought Lena happily as she looked at the bright smile on Kyoka's face, Lena's heart was pounding as she looked at the shorter girl. 'Should I do it?...'

Kyoka still stunned by the news didn't notice that Lena was looking at her with a mischievous and a bit playful smile.

'You know what? Screw it.'

Suddenly a pair of hands cupped her cheeks taking Kyoka by surprise, only for her to then feel something soft pressing against her lips.

Lena gently pressed her lips against Kyoka's for a few seconds before pulling away with a smile in an attempt to disguise her growing blush and her pounding heart.

Before Lena could say anything suddenly Kyoka's Jacks pulled her against her, sealing her lips with Kyoka once again.

Both girls separated again as they looked at each other silently.

"You..." Lena began as she tried to push the blush away from her cheeks failing miserably. "Fine, this time you win, only because I still have to see more papers."

"L-let me help you with that" Kyoka murmured as she nervously fingered her Jacks. "Then I can kiss you again..."

"Did you say something?"

"N-Nothing!"

After that... Kyoka helped Lena with her Nominations and while there were several interesting heroes there was one that stood out above the rest.

"So Kyoka, who did you say it was?" Lena asked as she approached Kyoka who was browsing the internet looking for the Hero that had caught her eye.

"This one" Kyoka showed the screen of her phone to Lena.

On the screen she could see a tall gentleman with sharp features dressed in a dark blue tuxedo, shiny dark green hair with some golden locks, he had glasses that hid his cold and strict gaze to the camera with a professional air around him.

"He was one of All Might's direct companions and one of the 10 Greatest Heroes a few years ago his name is..."

"Nighteye, the All-Seeing Hero"
