"SILENCE!" came a loud voice that up until then had remained quiet. Everyone turned to see a stern faced Iida.
"This is a task laden with responsibility where you must carry and pull everyone else's weight! Just because you'd like to do it doesn't mean you can! It is a holy office that requires great esteem and trust from those around you! The only true worthy leader will emerge from a democratic choice reflecting the will of the people!" Iida explained with conviction. "Which is why this must be settled by a vote!" he declared, despite him holding his hand up in a rigid posture.
"... Says the guy holding his hand up higher than the rest of us." Ashido said with a grin as she chuckled at Iida's antics.
"It's still too early for anyone to have developed much trust in anyone else." opined Asui.
"And everyone will just vote for themselves!" added Kirishima.
"Is that not why the person who earns multiple votes will be truly worthy of the task?!" demanded Iida. "If their charisma is such that they can earn the trust of others this early among class relations, they must possess qualities worthy of Class President! Isn't that right sensei?!" he shouted as he turned to Aizawa.
"Don't care. As long as you get it done by the deadline." the lethargic Hero responded as he lay on the ground.
"Looks like we have our decision. I, Robot isn't going to budge on the matter anytime soon."
The votes were all made anonymously, and after ten minutes the class had the results.
Midoriya: 3
Yaoyorozu: 2
Kumagawa: 2
The rest didn't matter as they either had only 1 vote or 0.
"Gah! Not Kumagawa!"
"Anyone but him!"
The girls cried out in disbelief at the possibility that Kumagawa might end up being the Vice President.
"I got 3 votes?!" cried a shocked Midoriya.
"You've gotta be shitting me! Who the hell voted for Deku?!" yelled Bakugou.
"Not you obviously." joked Sero.
"I'm sorry for failing you Kumagawa-sensei!" cried a distraught Mineta. "My one vote wasn't enough to make you win!"
[No need for such theatrics my disciple. I already knew I wouldn't win. It's only natural.] Kumagawa responded, trying to console his new 'underling'.
"Zero votes..." Iida said as he clenched his fists in frustration. "It's only fair since I insisted upon the sacredness of the role..."
"You didn't even vote for yourself despite wanting the position so badly." Yaoyorozu observed.
"Just what are you doing Iida?" wondered Sato.
"So, under normal circumstances we would have another vote for Vice President since it was a tie," Aizawa started as he stood up. "But I think we already know what the outcome will be. So your Class President will be Midoriya, and the Vice President will be Yaoyorozu."
"Aww man... So close." lamented the tall girl as she took her place next to Midoriya at the head of the class.
The green-haired boy was a nervous wreck at the prospect at being the Class President despite voting for himself.
"That's it for homeroom today." Aizawa said as he dismissed the class. "Now get going before your late for your next class."
