My Hero Academia: Thunder God

The next day, during lunch break.

"Hey, have you guys decided which Hero agency you're going to?" Ashido Mina asked, slumping over her desk in mild frustration.

"Decided? What's there to decide for someone like me who didn't get a single invitation?" Aoyama replied dramatically, throwing his head back with an exaggerated sigh. "I'll just go wherever the school assigns me!"

His tone was so bitter it made everyone glance at him awkwardly. He had been sulking ever since the results were announced.

"You really don't have much vision, do you?"

"Same here," Ojiro added sheepishly, rubbing his nose.

Ashido turned her attention back to the table of students who had received invitations. "What about you guys?" she asked, a faint trace of envy flashing in her eyes.

It was hard not to feel disappointed. She'd put up a decent showing at the Sports Festival, so why hadn't she gotten even a single invitation?

"I'm going to Mt. Lady's agency!" Mineta Minoru suddenly piped up, his chest puffed out with pride.

Everyone turned to him in shock.

"You got an invitation? No way! You weren't even on the rankings yesterday!" Kyoka asked, staring at him in disbelief.

"Hehehe, after I got home, the school contacted me and told me I had an invite!" Mineta said smugly, his mind already filled with questionable fantasies. "And it's from the super-sexy Ms. Mt. Lady herself…"

The room fell silent as everyone stared at him with flat, unimpressed expressions. Without a word, they collectively decided to steer the conversation away from Mineta.

"When it comes to choices, Kaminari and Todoroki had the most invitations," Momo remarked, looking at the two of them curiously. "Have you both decided?"

"No," Kaminari replied, letting out a helpless sigh. "I've narrowed it down, but there are still too many good options. I'll probably ask Aizawa-sensei for advice after school."

"No," Todoroki added simply, his tone cold and detached.

"This is what they call 'a good problem to have,'" Tokoyami commented quietly.

Kaminari raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Does that mean you've already decided?"

Tokoyami nodded. "I submitted my choice to Aizawa-sensei this morning."

"Which agency did you choose?" Midoriya asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Hawks' agency," Tokoyami replied in his usual calm, mysterious tone.

"Hawks?! The third-ranked Hero?!" Midoriya exclaimed, eyes widening in amazement.

"Wow, that's incredible," Ashido said, looking at Tokoyami with open admiration.

---

While the others marveled at Tokoyami's choice, Kaminari fell silent, a subtle frown forming on his face. "I thought Hawks' invitation was exclusive," he thought to himself.

Suppressing his doubts, he decided to shift the conversation toward his friends. "What about you, Tetsutetsu? And you, Momo?"

Tetsutetsu grinned. "My choice is simple—I'm going to train with my judo teacher, Daimon Goro!"

"Wait, Daimon-sensei is a professional Hero?" Kaminari asked, surprised.

"Yeah, I didn't know either!" Tetsutetsu admitted with a laugh. "But yesterday, he pulled out this old, dusty Hero license from his desk. Turns out, he's the real deal!"

"Interesting," Kaminari said with a nod before turning to Momo.

"I haven't decided yet," she said thoughtfully, resting her chin on her arm. "I'm stuck between Snake Hero and Ryukyu."

"Ryukyu is ranked higher, right?" Kyoka pointed out.

"That's true," Momo replied. "But Ms. Uwabami has her strengths too. Both are great options."

As the discussion continued, most students revealed their choices. Uraraka had decided to go with the "Fighting Hero, Gunhead Agency," while Bakugo had chosen the "Fiber Hero, Best Jeanist Agency."

Kaminari couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that Koda Koji, the classmate with the least presence, was heading to an obscure zoo called "Encounter with Demons." It wasn't a well-known agency, but the environment seemed perfectly suited to Koda's Quirk.

---

After school, Kaminari stayed behind to meet with Aizawa. The two spoke privately in the teacher's office for about ten minutes before Kaminari finally emerged, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I didn't expect Aizawa-sensei to recommend him..." he muttered to himself as he joined Tetsutetsu at the school gates.

---

As they walked home together, Kaminari remembered something important.

"Oh, right my new combat uniform!" he exclaimed suddenly. "I almost forgot that we'll be using them for the workplace experience."

Pulling out his phone, he quickly scrolled through his recent call history until he found the contact he was looking for.

"Got it!" Kaminari grinned, dialing the number.

The phone rang twice before a familiar voice answered.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Hey, it's Kaminari Denki. I wanted to check in about the combat uniform."

"Ah! Mr. Kaminari! Finally, I was wondering when you'd call!"

"Sorry about that," Kaminari said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "Things have been a bit hectic lately."

"It's no problem! Do you have time to come by now?"

Kaminari glanced at Tetsutetsu, then lowered his phone slightly. "Hey, want to come with me? You can check on your own uniform while we're there."

"Sure," Tetsutetsu replied, nodding. "Let me call Daimon-sensei and let him know."

"Tell him it's the Mitsui Consortium," Kaminari added. "They're the ones making the uniforms."

Tetsutetsu's eyes widened slightly. "The Mitsui Consortium? No way, that's huge!"

After getting the green light from Daimon, Tetsutetsu gave Kaminari a thumbs-up. "I'm good to go."

Kaminari turned his attention back to the phone. "Alright, we're heading over now. Can you send me the address?"

"On its way!"

Moments later, Kaminari received a text with the location.

"Huh, it's closer than I thought," Kaminari said, scanning the address.

"Let me see," Tetsutetsu said, leaning over. "Shiganshina District? Yeah, that's not far at all!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Kaminari said with a grin. "Let's go check it out!"

---

As they walked toward the address, Kaminari's excitement grew. He couldn't wait to see the final result of the ideas he'd sent to the Mitsui Consortium. If everything went as planned, his combat uniform wouldn't just be a suit, it would be a game-changing tool in battle.

But what he didn't know was that the Mitsui Consortium had prepared something far beyond his expectations. This new suit would become one of the most important tools in his Hero career, a partner he could rely on for years to come.
