The Robotic Hero (Boku no Hero Academia Fan Fiction)

chapter 085 // words of truth

(this one is going to be short)

= Third Person =

Chris let a yawn as she stood beside Endeavor & Hawks, a small grin appeared on her face when she saw the new hero costume Endeavor was wearing, it made her happy that he was actually wearing it. It looked good on him as well, she was also wearing a new suit that made her at least a few inches taller than Endeavor, at least she wasn't 2ft taller than him anymore

"The reason we held this sort of ceremony at this time... is because we judged this turning point. Its been about 3 months since All Might's retirement & a few weeks since the reveal of Micro, & word is circulating that we still lack a hero icon." Chris rolled her neck as she pursed her lips when she heard her hero name being mentioned, she raised an eyebrow & moved her eyes to her left & saw Hawks tilted his head to the side, she shook her head & looked forward again "The heroes that will shoulder society's burdens going forward are all in this room. Lets all strive towards a more peaceful society."

"So, whats it like to be in 2nd place?" she couldn't help but jump a bit at his sudden voice, she looked down at him before shaking her head & glaring at him to shut up, he looked forward & did the motion to zip his lips

"& now, statements from each individual!" a lady then came toward Yoroi Musha & held a microphone to him

"What I must do from now on has not changed."

"Wash (seriously, when I first saw this hero I was fucking laughing while I was confused as fuck)!!!"

"I intend to work hard as a part of Edgeshot's team without bringing shame to my senpai's." Kamui declared, he then leaned forward & looked at Chris "& kouhai?" he questioned, she waved her hand

"I've been doing this longer than you, Kamui Woods. You're my kouhai despite being older than me." he nodded

"Okay." she winked at him, next up with Crust

"Why was I not there on that day in Kamino?! That regret still lays heavily on my heart!!" Hawks made a face, now it was Miruko, she smirks confidently & pointed her thumb at her chest & her index pointing at the crowd

"Hey, you, all the guys scheming bad out there!! Get ready to be pummeled by me." Hawks looks down this time

"If the rankings were purely based on approval ratings, you would have been No.4...!"

"Numbers don't concern me. I'm grateful for the high approval that comes from my work, but I'm not doing this for fame! I believe the fostering of peace is the true essence of heroism." suddenly Hawks speaks up

"Who cares about that?" everyone went silent, Endeavor & Chris look at each other before looking down at him surprised

"Damn, that was ballsy!" Miruko exclaimed

"... as usual you enjoy throwing everyone in a loop, don't you?" he just looks at them as he takes the microphone out of the lady's hand, more like snatched it to be precise

"Hey, I'm just bad at keeping it in." he spreads his wings "Let's see... if we're going just by approval ratings, Micro would be in 1st place due to her supportive fans & for the fact that she is more suited for the role as No.1 because of her kindness, generosity, etc. Best Jeanist would be 2nd due to his extra boost of support during his recovery. I would be 3rd, Edgeshot would be 4th, Endeavor would be 5th, & so on." Chris felt a little surprised when Hawks considered her as the No. 1 hero, how thoughtful "I think approval ratings are the most important metric right now. Is it time to be clinging to the past? Is it still okay to uphold the status quo? We no longer have a symbol." she crossed her arms as everyone in the building looked up at Hawks as he used his quirk to fly "Why are people who can't even get a higher rank than me... being so tame & subdued on a day that's supposedly deemed a "turning point"?! Please speak more like heroes."
