Turning the Tables [Shoto Todoroki X Reader]

Chapter 39: It was hard... choosing a hero name...

"Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack!"

"Tentacle Hero: Tentacole!"

"Taping Hero: Cellophane!"

"Martial Arts Hero: Tailman!"

"Sweets Hero: Sugarman!"

"Pinky!"

"Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt!"

"Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl!"

"Everything Hero: Creati!"

Everyone had such good ideas, and I just continued to stare at my blank sheet.

"Shoto."

I glanced up. He was just using his name?

Midnight asked what I was thinking. But passed it anyway.

It's his choice in the end.

"Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi!"

"Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice!"

"Petting Hero: Anima!"

But then Bakugo presented.

"King Explosion Murder."

Does he plan on killing someone?

"You probably shouldn't use something like that."

"Why not!"

"You should be 'Explosion Boy'!"

"Shut up, Weird Hair!"

"Okay, my turn..." She approached the front. "This is what I thought of: 'Uravity.'"

"Sounds stylish!"

It seems cute.

"Choosing hero names is going more smoothly than I thought it would! All that's left is Bakugo —who needs to rethink his— and Iida."

She forgot about Midoriya and I. Please, no one remind her.

"And Midoriya, right?"

Nothing about me.

"What about (L/N)?"

"Oh yes, and (L/N) too."

I sighed.

Iida silently stood at the front of the class, and lifted his board.

"Tenya." It read.

"You're using your first name too?"

"Midoriya, are you ready?"

"Y-yes!"

He turned his board around.

There was silence, before people voiced their confusion.

No one understood his choice. But he explained, "I didn't like this name until now. But someone changed the meaning of it, and that had a huge impact on me. It made me really happy. This is my hero name!"

"Deku."

Uraraka seemed to glow with happiness.

"Your turn, (L/N)."

"I'm... not quite ready."

"Okay then, Bakugo, come try again."

I glanced at the blank expanse, before I slowly wrote down what I had decided.

"Lord Explosion Murder!" Bakugo yelled.

"No, that's still not good."

She turned to me as Bakugo stomped back to his desk.
