It's been about a month since Aizawa faithfully announced that Chara was considered an absolute threat to the country, if not, the world. A first for UA, it seems, since the majority of any sorts of threats like her are...underwhelming. Hell, a few of these supposed "threats" eventually fade into obscurity, just a footnote in UA's history...

Except for Chara. Oh no, she's an exception.

The news was kept under wraps, only students and faculty knowing of the supposed threat that she could be. Currently, in the public's eyes, it's just UA, that "shining symbol of future hero society" or whatever crap they advertise anymore.

She was kept a close eye on ever since that day...Sans was instructed to stick with her at all costs, which wasn't that hard during class times....but after that? It was..complicated.

Gone were the days where sans had his rooftop bungalow all to himself..now it had to be shared with the brat and Frisk.

Frisk...wasn't actually a problem. Sans had frowned accustomed, and actually thoroughly enjoyed her company, having her around to talk to about random things, eating some decently good Japanese takeout, and napping was some of the best times he had ever since he arrived here....

But Chara..she was a mixed bag. One moment, you could me napping...the next, a bag would pop in your eardrums, and you'd be gasping for breath in panic as you heard the laughs that followed after. You could be eating a decent meal..then she'd spike it with cayenne to ruin it, and burn your insides..well, the metaphorical ones sans had.

With time though...that childlike nuisance..quieted down. It was as if some days she was just..gone. She'd usually just sit down for a moment and look out onto the streets of Japan in literal awe of what was around her. She wasn't used to these sorts of things, with her usual being miles upon miles of molten rocks, or snowy forests, or creepy caverns.

...with time, Chara became bearable to sans. Sans still had a hell of a grudge, for sure..but it died down.
————————————————————
It was a typical UA school day for sans...the ever present lessons Sans grew to enjoy, having him sort of complete them haphazardly, snooze in class, and when Iida would yell at him (although it was quieter and more urging than before, thanks to the reveal of San's past) he would slap the paper onto his desk, not only shocking him, but making the class seemingly snicker at the fact that Iida seemed to never learn.

Sans was dozing off again, timing Iida to see how long it'll take for him to snap at him, smiling a bit in his sleep...

But rather than some urging yells, it was a tap of the teachers desk.

Sans awoke a bit from it, knowing it was Aizawa...it could be anything with the teacher. More work, sudden physical quirk training, or worse....something that pertained to him and Frisk.

Aizawa sighs as he taps some stack of papers on his desk, looking up to the class

"...well, seems as though all of you are done with today's class work, as per usual...but there's on last thing we have to do before we end the-"

Aizawa was met with a fierce and sudden interruption of Tenya Iida

"but sir! It's only been 30 minutes since class has started! How on earth is that all of the work for class?!"

Aizawa sighs and leans back in his chair

"..if you'd let me finish, you'd know why."

Iida suddenly became flustered, making quiet whimpers in his throat as he sits down, nodding apologetically as Aizawa continued

"...today, we'll be selecting a class representative. Do whatever you feel is necessary, but have one selected by the time I get up.."

With that, he suddenly zipped up into a yellow, cocoon like sleeping bag as he fell to the ground, and faint snoring was heard from behind his desk.

The class looked at eachother collectively in silence, processing the question and assignment given to them...

And then the screams of students came, begging to be selected

Everyone but the few quiet, stoic, and proper ones were the ones to process this more, before a slam on one of the students desks rang out, it being Iida's

"CALM DOWN! THIS IS UNPROFESSIONAL COMING FROM THE TOP HERO CLASS!"

The class quieted down, soon looking back over to Tenya as he straightens up

"...there, now...if we are to select a potential member for a Class 1-A Representative, I vote we do this democratically..that way, no one would be mad towards anyone, as it means the collective decided, rather than it be one made by selfish intent or argumentative strategy."

The class was about to object, all except for Momo and Izuku, it seems, who seemed to nod, which..actually made the rest of the class nod in agreement. You can't exactly argue against the more stronger and leader-like students of the class.

Soon, Iida procured two plastic voting bins, handing one to Momo

"Momo, May you help me with the voting tallies?"

Momo smiles a bit, nodding appreciatively

"..it would be an honor, Iida! Frankly, I thought you'd pick someone like Midorya, since he seems..actually, uh..."

She looked over to Midorya's worried face, not really that brave enough to suddenly get placed in something like this

"...nevermind! Let's just get the voting started!"

Iida nods, soon turning to his side of the classroom

"...take your times voting for who you want as president! This will determine who will be the face and leader of our class!"

The class collectively murmured as the voting began, with everyone really thinking hard in this..except for the really quick thinking and greedy ones, one who wanted to be representative for girls or attention.

Sans sat at his desk as he held onto a pen and a notecard, looking at it and smiling a bit.

"...heh...ain't that hard..especially since..their pretty cool."

He soon writes down the name of the person he was thinking of, folding it over and handing it to Iida. He smiles up to him and nods, soon resting his head on his desk, closing his eye sockets a bit.
————————————————————
Sans awoke with the sound of Iida's ear splitting voice

"...ATTENTION!"

The class, after recuperating from the assault on their ears, soon turning their heads up to the front of the room, with Iida holding some chalk now, and Momo sitting beside him with a pleasant smile on her face

"As you all may know, we have all decidedly voted for a single student of our well mannered class...."

He says, that last part seemingly a sort of teasing annoyance as he looks at the class sworn a stern expression

"...and, with the help of Ms. Yaoyorozu, we have tallied up the results...and rather than disappoint the majority who have been voted, well much rather place the results on the board.."

He cleared his throat as he turns to the board, writing on it. He soon taps on the board, revealing two words:

Izuku Midorya: Class Representative
Momo Yaoyorozu: Vice-Representative

The class was...ectatic a bit, rather than being disappointed. Kirishima jumps out of his seat, pumping his fist in the air

"Alright! Midorya!"

He turns his head to Izuku, but Izuku looked absolutely terrified, yet that didn't stop Kirishima from giving his thoughts

"..I knew an coolheaded kid like yourself would be a perfect fit for class rep!"

Izuku seems to nod a bit

"..t-thank you! It..it means a lot that you s-see me that way!"

Bakugo seemed to be angry at this statement, but didn't dare get up to teach the kid some lesson.

Aizawa soon slumps up as the bell rang out

"..alright kids. Seems you've selected someone..."

He says, looking up to the board

"...well, it's lunch. Save your congratulations for then, unless you want to stay hungry..."

The class nodded a bit, giving congrats as they head out.

Sans stayed behind for a moment, leaning against the wall and laughing quietly.

"...yeah yeah..kids gonna do good."

He left the room with Chara now staring at him as he left, cocking her head

"....your a strange skeleton..."
————————————————————
"....So I said "patella"? I barely know her!"

The group sitting around the table collectively groaned as the skeleton laughs at his stupid puns. The group? Of course, it was Izuku, Ochaco, and Iida, all sitting at one end of a rather large lunch table, just discussing the current predicament with Izuku being the class representative

"...so....munch.....Sans."

Sans turned his attention to Ochaco, who was staring at him

"..who'd you vote for back at the classrooms? Thought I'd ask since your little tirade of puns seemed to end.."

Sans sighs as he relaxed back down, looking at them with a smile

"...well, thought I should have voted for my best bud...known him for a bit, and he sure is the type to be calculated and such...but I guess I'm not happy with the decision."

The group seemed collectively confused..until Sans explained his reasoning

"...in class, when Izuku was voted for, he seemed..uneasy. I know he can be a great leader, but there's a time and place for all that. I should know. I still sorta wish I voted for Tenya because, well...he seemed ready for that responsibility...if not, he was pushing for it."

The group mulled it over, and sighs. Izuku spoke out after a bit

"...I'm..happy you see it that way, you know...? I..honestly have no clue if I'm ready for this position or not...I'm...terrified of it, more than anything...I've never actually been the center of attention before."

Sans nods a bit and sighs

"...could tell based of off that Katsuki kid...he didn't seem...friendly."

After a bit of chatting, especially with Tenya's family heritage and hero company, which sans remained silent for, absorbing this information, the alarms started blaring out as a voice calls out

"WARNING. LEVEL 3 SECURITY BREACH. ALL STUDENTS PLEASE EVACUATE THE BUILDING IN AN ORDERLY FASHION"

"...eeeehhh....Whats-"

Just as sans was about to ask, a student yells out from the crowd.

"SOMEONES BROKEN IN!"

And all hell breaks loose.

Crowds of people in panic, some even screaming, start to run for the exit. The group of young heroes try to get ahead of them, an attempt that ultimately failed, as Sans is soon bashed around like a toy

"...Aye! Come on, kiddos! It's just a small emergency! I mean, what if it's just one bad guy?!"

The group seemed to ignore him for the longest time, soon sans was pushed into a young girl

"F-frisk?! Thank god, I thought you'd be somewhere else..least we'll be trampled together.."

He laughs and looks to her

"...my bones can only hold so many skele-tons."

Frisk audibly groaned but laughs anyways, soon holding onto his sleeve to cope with the constant wave of students

After a few minutes, the sound of air moving along the air as Tenya soars over the grips of students, holding onto the top of the doorway.

"...PLEASE CALM DOWN! ITS JUST THE PRESS! THIS ISNT A VILLAIN ATTACK!"

The school collectively freezes and pauses, looking around the area. Soon, a student does point out it's the press, and they all collectively sigh. Rather than rush out the door, they trickle out, knowing it's not some big panic like they thought it would be

Sans sighs a she dusts himself off, looking to Frisk...and then soon Chara

"...my, what a wonderful pair of faces I see...well, maybe just one.."

He smiles a bit, making Chara aggravatingly groan as she sighs

"...let's just...get back to class."

Sans shrugs and sighs

"..just as I was about to get some food..."

He sighs

"...I'm a procrastinator, aren't I? I should have just ate and talked....."
————————————————————
After making it back to class, they just witnessed Izuku willingly give up his position. To everyone else, except for Tenya, Ochaco, and Sans, it was a surprise..but those three knew the truth. Sans returns to his desk, just as class continued.

Chara however...seemed to peer over to Sans. What the hell is with that skeleton....just a few days ago, he was a bawling mess because of his big reveal of the past...just a reset ago, he had his family to look forward to..and yet here he is, smiling and acting like his family never existed...her fingers tense up as she sighs I'll...I'll find out soon enough, skeleton...your gonna crack sooner or later. Your gonna want to go back home...your gonna want that all back, and leave a world where in the end, these people, these friends...everyone...won't exist. Soon...I just know it...she sighs a bit more don't get close to these people now..cause sooner or later, it'll just be another reset, if Frisk can figure out what went wrong...
