MHA: The Hero With the Sun [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 18: Chapter 17: Hero Names and Kenji’s Decision



As the Sports Festival concluded, U.A. students gathered in a large classroom for an important tradition: choosing their hero names. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as students brainstormed, scribbled names onto their boards, and sought feedback from their peers.

Kenji sat at his desk, tapping his marker against the white surface in thought. Choosing a hero name was more than just a formality it was a declaration of identity, the name he would carry into the world as a professional hero.

He considered names that reflected his Quirk, Solar Core, but none of them felt quite right. His mind wandered back to his childhood, to the days spent under the scorching sun on his family's farm. His parents had always spoken of the sun as the source of life, warmth, and resilience. He wanted a name that embodied those qualities.

Finally, inspiration struck. Kenji stood up and walked to the front of the room, flipping his board for everyone to see.

"Solgaleo." (Name is not official yet just a placeholder i'm not good at names.)

The name was met with murmurs of intrigue.

"Sounds powerful," Kirishima said with a grin.

"It suits you," Momo added with an approving nod.

Aizawa gave his usual neutral expression but nodded slightly. "Solgaleo, huh? Not bad."

Kenji smirked. "Yeah, I think it fits."

Choosing His Internship

Shortly after the Sports Festival, the students received lists of hero agencies interested in taking them on for internships. Kenji scanned his list, noting a few well known names, but one stood out above all the rest: Endeavor's Agency.

He looked across the room and saw Todoroki staring at the same name on his own list. Their eyes met, and Todoroki gave a small nod.

Later, as they walked together in the hallway, Kenji spoke up. "You're going with Endeavor, huh?"

Todoroki's expression was unreadable. "Yeah. I need to face him in my own way."

Kenji folded his arms. "I get that. I want to go too. If I want to push my abilities, training under Japan's number two hero is the way to do it."

Todoroki studied him for a moment before nodding. "Then I'll see you there."

With his decision made, Kenji submitted his internship form. He had no idea what working under Endeavor would entail, but he was ready for whatever came next.
