65: Class President!
—
"I wanna be the president! Lemme do it!!"
"This position was made for me."
"I want to be a leader!!"
The students were eager, well, at least most of them were. The likes of Todoroki, Tokoyami and Neji didn't show any particular interest.
Even Bakugo had raised his hand, and while he wasn't yelling like the rest of the class, he had heated steam coming out of his nose.
"Sensei!" Finally, amongst the crowd, Ida yelled. "A leader shouldn't be chosen so lightly… How about we have an election!?"
He stood straight with a determined face, hoping Aizawa would accept, but in answer, the older man just jagged himself inside his cocoon-like sleeping bag.
"However you do it, just make it quick." By the time he finished saying so, he was fast asleep.
Ida was shocked at this, but at least Aizawa accepted?
—★—
"Hey, are you sure you didn't vote for me?"
Momo asked with her eyes locked on the blackboard, where all the students who participated had their names written along with how many came they got.
[Momo Yaoyorozu — 05]
[Itsuka Kendo — 03]
[Ibara Shiozaki — 02]
Neji shrugged his shoulders. "You asked me not to, why would I do that then?"
Momo asked him not to vote for her since for some reason she was bent on not taking any help from him. So Neji had instead voted for Kendo. He recalled that redhead got along with Momo really well in canon, so Neji thought it would be better if Kendo could be Vice President for Momo.
As for why he was so confident that Momo would become the president, well, she already got along with the girls, and next, she did really well in both tests that happened the last 2 days, and that wasn't because of her quirk, but because of her smarts. The students already knew she was a smart girl.
Though of course, Neji could have won if he participated, but matter of fact, he didn't. He was simply not invested enough for this shit, he had better things to do.
Instead, he let Momo become the President, in which case, he would be able to get some benefits in school such as covering for him so that he had enough time to go inside and come back from a dungeon.
Neji thought, 'Today was the 3rd day at school, and USJ is on the 4th day if I recall correctly. I plan to start my dungeon hunt after USJ since I would then have relatively more free time. I guess Momo would need to see my back.'
Aizawa yawned, interrupting his thoughts. "Fine, it's decided, your President would be Yaoyorozu and the Vice President would be Kendo. Treat them well."
Neji leaned back on his chair as Momo and Kendo greeted each other. It was then when Uraraka called him from behind.
"Why didn't you participate? I am sure you could have become a good leader, I was ready to give you my vote."
Neji looked at her from a tilted head.
"Not interested."
Ochako hummed. "I really think you're the leader type, though."
"Not really." Maybe only for his girls, other than that it was too bothersome. "If someone said, hey Neji, everyone around you would be safe, you can sleep in peace, then I would probably sleep for a whole week, that's the type of guy I am."
On second thought, isn't that what a true leader thinks like? He just shrugged, he was still not interested.
Then he chuckled softly while Ochako looked at him in clear confusion. She didn't understand the meaning behind his words, nor did she understand his chuckle.
Then Aizawa left and Momo returned to her seat. Classes continued smoothly until the bell rang for the lunch break.
Neji and Momo were in the cafeteria now, chatting amongst themselves with their food in front of them.
"Ribbit, Nejire-senpai didn't come to get you?"
Neji was startled when he heard the meek voice of Tsuyu Asui calling out on him from behind him.
He turned to face her.
"Ah, no, she said she'd be busy today because All Might is supposed to take a test in 3rd Year classes today," Neji replied. "Though you know Nejire?"
"From the school festival, ribbit."
"Ah." Neji smiled. "I guess she is kinda famous."
Tsuyu then pointed at the table he was sitting on.
"Can I sit?"
"Sure."

Before Tsuyu could completely sit down, Uraraka and Kendo also appeared at the table.
"Hi~ can we sit too?"
Kendo waved at Neji and Momo as Neji held back a sigh.
He was supposed to have some quiet time with his girlfriend. A part of him almost said, 'Just make all of them your girlfriend then, simple.', but that part was his dick, so he ignored it.
Neji nodded at them as they sat down too.
"So I heard you two aren't dating, Neji-kun. Is that true? You two look really close though."
Neji was about to reply but Momo did it before him.
"We started dating 2 days ago." She had a small blush on her face as she said this.
Kendo gasped while Uraraka looked shocked with her wide eyes shaking, Momo didn't notice, but Neji did and this time, his held back sigh did escape.
He should stop being flirtatious, or it would bite him back in the ass someday.
The chatting continued for a while before suddenly an alarm rang out in the whole school.
Vwooo~
[Security level 3 has been broken.]
[All students, please evacuate in an orderly fashion.]
[I repeat, all students, please evacuate in an orderly fashion.]
As if a clogged river was just unclogged, the crowd started to scramble at once, everyone running to the exit.
"W-what's happening here? What's security level 3?!"
Kendo cried out as she stood up from her seat abruptly.
"It means someone has infiltrated the building," Neji replied while munching on Tempura, his favourite.
At his words, everyone paled. This was surely bad, maybe it was a villain attack even? The more they thought the more stressed the group of 4 girls grew.
However, Momo suddenly looked at Neji who was too easy for this situation.
"Neji…" she called. "Do you have any idea?"
He blinked at her. He didn't want to help her since she was so against it, but now that she was asking herself, he guessed it was time.
"It's just some reporters, no need to worry about that much."
The girls other than Momo looked surprised as to why he knew about it, but it can be explained later.
"Then-"
Momo started, but before she could finish, her body flew over to Neji as he stood up and caught her in a princess carry.
"Make a mic, I will take you to the front of the exit."
Momo barely understood his words before he softly flew up in the air, this time unlike the other times, a spiralling shockwave coming out of his feet.
The exit was closing, barely a few made out of the cafeteria, so the students were getting more erratic. Neji flew to the top of the exit door and stopped, by that time Momo was holding a speaker in her hand.
["Everyone!!"]
Momo was feeling very nervous and scared at first, but being in her lover's arms, it dissipated into nothingness.
["There is nothing to worry about, please. It's just some reporters wanting to see All Might. Calm down… take a deep breath."]
She took a deep breath and as if a contagious virus, everyone did the same. Slowly, voices dimmed down inside the hall with only the sound of people's breath filling the air.
["Now, please go back to your seats. I would be happy if you do it in an orderly fashion."]
Momo said in the most calming voice possible, but unlike how she expected, some guys did yell.
"As you wish, my queen!"
"..."
She only heard Neji's chuckle on her ears before her face went too hot and bright for her five senses to stay natural.
Fortunately, school ended soon after that, and finally, it was time for USJ.
