(I ENCOURAGE TO SKIP THE AUOTHER'S NOTES IF YOU JUST WANNA READ THE STORY. MAINLY BECAUSE IT IS JUST ME GOING ON A TINY RANT)
AN: Frist of all, sorry it took such a long time to release the next chapter and sorry if the first part of this sounds like a rant. I have a ten hour job and that does not leave me with a lot of free time after work.
Second reason I was also putting it on hold was beacuse I saw that a couple of you disliked the previous chapter because of my awful grammer.
I'll write it one more time. I am not the greatest at english. I wish I was, but unfortuntely I am not. Also I am just some random guy who thought it would be fun to write an idea I thought of. Furthermore even some the greatest of writters have someone else to read through their draft, an editor. So when I read through my own a story. Normally I won't notice the mistake I made until a week later.
And yes I totally made up all the oc names for this chapter. I didn't think on learning much about japaness naming so the names only sound japaness(ish)
And you have the right to call me lazy.
Chapter 12. Internship.
After picking out their hero code names, class 1-A went on to next objective on today's list.
"Now everyone has decided on their hero names, we can go back to talking about your upcoming internships. They'll last for one week. As for who you'll be working with, those of you who are on the board will choose from among offers, everyone else will have it different list. You have a lot to think about. There around forty agencies cross the country who have agreed to take on interns from your class. Each agency has a different specialty that it's heroes focus on. Keep that in mind." Mr. Aizawa said.
"Imagine if you were Thirteen(The hero), you'll want to choose a place that focuses on rescue not on fighting villains, understand?." Midnight said.
"Think carefully before you decide." Mr. Aizawa said.
"Yes sir!" The class replied.
Papers with the internships were then handed out to all the students.
"I wanna fight villains in a big city." Kirishima said.
"I just hope I can get to Intern in place with a lot of flooding. Maybe a lake." Asui said.
Mr. Aizawa spoke again." Turn in your choices before the weekend."
Which was fine until Sero realized what day of the week it was." We only got two days?!"
"Yeah, so you should start now." Mr. Aizawa said and walked over to the door with his sleeping bag and Midnight in tow. "You are dismissed." He said and closed the door behind him.
Some time later around lunch time the students of class 1-A were still figuring out where they were planning on interning. Some had it easier then others.
"Guys have you decided on what pro hero agency you wanna go for?" Ahsido asked.
"Mt. Lady is my top choice." Mineta proudly announced.
"Mineta are you thinking something perverted?" Asui asked.
And the little man didn't even try to fully deny it." Possibly!" he said in the weakest defense ever.
Alexander was walking upright looking at the one offer he had gotten. Apparently some hero agency in the town of Ordo? Great, he had no idea who or where that was.
He then noticed Todoroki sitting at his own seat and walked over." So what agency has caught your eye?" He asked.
Todoroki noticed him and after a moment's pause showed Alexander what he had been looking at." This.."
Alexander leaned in closer to see where Todoroki was pointing and holding the paper at the same time.
Now his language skills were pretty good, if he said so himself. However, reading was something he really needed to work on. He tried his best word out the name in his head but it took a few tries until he realized what there stood. Endeavor Hero Agency." Oh…You are planning on going to your old man's agency?" Alexander asked. After overhearing Todoroki's little conversation with Midoriya during the sports festival Alexander had come to learn that Shoto's dad was a massive douchebag.
Todoroki contemplated for a sec." I am thinking of it." He said then asked." What about you? Who was that one offer you got from?" He then asked.
"Some agency named Royal or something. No idea who that belongs to. You heard of it?" Alexander asked.
"Afraid not, sorry. You know you could ask Midroiya, he seems to knows lot about those things." Todoroki suggested.
"Huh, why didn't I think of that?" Alexander said and yelled for Midoriya." Hey Midoriya, are yo- and he is muttering wildly again." He caught himself off when he saw Midoriya talking to himself.
" There are only forty heroes taking us-After looking over their specialty and splitting them into groups they start bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla…" Midoriya muttered.
Alexander and some others counting Ojiro, Uraraka, Mineta, Ashido and Asui walked over to where Midoriya sat and Alexander carefully lifted his hand close to Midoriya without him realizing and the snapped his fingers." Bah!" Midroiya sounded alerted." Oh, sorry what did you guys say?"
"You are really thinking hard about this aren't you?" Asui remarked.
"It will all work out. I have settled on my pick." Uraraka said, earning a few raised eyebrows.
"Already?" Ashido asked Uraraka.
"What agency?" Ojiro asked, also curious.
" The one that the battle hero Gun-Head runs!" Uraraka said.
Her choice of agency confused Midoriya." Huh? Gun-Head is a big brawler though. Are you sure that where you wanna intern Uraraka?"
"Yep!" The brown-haired girl responded." He sent me an offer!"
"Hang on, I thought you were going to be recuse hero and or something." Alexander said, joining the conversation.
"Well ultimately that's the plan. But I have been thinking ever since the sportsfestival, well at least ever since I was up against Bakugo, the stronger I am the more possibilities I'd have. Plus, learning from a battle hero will give me a different perspective, right?" Uraraka said.
"I can totally understand what you mean too." Midoriya said.
"And also." Uraraka said to Midoriya." There is something I have been meaning to ask you. Why are you trembling?"
It was then the rest of the people around noticed that as well." While I'll be, so he is." Alexander said.
"Oh this? It's exercise." Midoriya answered.
"Exercise?!" Uraraka asked."Were you doing that the whole class?!"
"There is no way!" Ashido commented in disbelief.
"That is such an old fashion way to train." Mineta remarked.
"But a smart one. It's easy way to workout without moving." Ojiro said. Since he was a martial artist he knew what he was talking about.
Midoriya had been thinking on a way to train more so could get on with controlling the quirk he had received so tried to see if developments happen if he tried this technic. Nothing so far but he had only started today.
Alexander then pulled out his paper sheet." Oh yeah by the way. Midoriya, you know more about agencies then I do. Can you tell me who this, is if you know them?"
Midoriya grabbed the paper and read it. His widened after he read the name." WOW! It's the Royal hero agency!"
"So, you know him?" Alexander asked.
"Yeah the agency is run by Hideo Tokenze better known as Royal Fang!" Midoriya said.
Ojiro also recognized the name."Wait that Royal Fang? That guy is one of the most renowned Martial Arts heroes in the world! I saw him fight once against the kung-fu master Dian Hei. He was really good."
"So he is famous. Why haven't I heard of him then?" Uraraka asked.
"While he is a famous martial artist and more than a hero, he rarely does anything to get recognized more. Furthermore, he also almost never takes anyone in as sidekicks or interns. Well better said he takes in less people then regular hero agencies, but don't let that disbelieve you to think he is not a great hero, he is. You are really lucky, Alex." Ojiro explained.
"He's quirk is Lion so he looks like a lion-man." Midoriya added.
"So I am getting recruited by a big walking on two legs cat? Okay, I work with that. Thanks guys" Alexander said and walked back over to his table.
Looking up on his phone, Alexander searched on the name of the area. The search result came up with it's location and surroundings. Apparently it was just a few kilometers out from Hosu in a kind of big town. Wait a minute…Hozu. That's the same place was Iida's brother attacked.
looking a few seats ahead of him he could see that Iida was in deep thought he had been staring at the paper what seemed like forever.
All of a sudden he wrote something on the paper. It was probably his pick for his internship. After Iida laid the paper upside down he then walked out of the classroom and down to the cafeteria.
Having a bad feeling about it, Alexander walked up to Iida's assigned seat. Without anyone noticing him Alexander turned the sheet around to see what he wrote.
It read, Hosu City Hero Office, Under Pro Hero: Normal Hero Masaki Mizushima.
Alexander cursed in a whisper." Shit." Hozu being the last place the Hero Killer was seen. Iida, you better not be thinking what I think you are gonna do, Alexander thought.
After a long day of thinking, class was finally done and it was about time for everyone to go home.
"See you later dude." Alexander said to Todoroki who immediately replied.
"Right, see you tomorrow." Todoroki said and left while Alexander still placed stuff back in to his bag.
After finishing up Alexander walked to the door where Midoriya and Uraraka were also standing."Hey guys you wanna walk to together?"
"Sure." Midoriya said.
"Okay." Alexander said.
"Nice, Iida how about-"Uraraka looked down to Iida table but apparently he wasn't there."Oh.."
"Oh yeah, he had already decided on where he wanted to go, so he is turning in the papers." Alexander said, keeping out where Iida was going. There was no need to worry them.
"Well that is the case then its only us. Kikuchi also went ho-"Midoriya was saying until he opened the door and suddenly out of nowhere All Might came sliding in front of him.
"I AM HERE IN AN AWKAWRD POSISTION!" All Might shouted.
"So I see, what's that about?" Midoriya asked timidly.
"Can you come with me for a sec, young Midoriya?" All Might asked, looking like he was in a rush.
Midoriya look to his friends, who gave him the thumbs up, it was All Might who was asking for him. With that Midoriya responded with a." Sure." And went with All Might.
Later outside.
Since Midoriya was off to talk to All Might, Alexander and Uraraka were waiting for him down at the entrance to the school. The sky had turned orange.
Leaning with his back up against a wall Alexander once thought back to his fight against his sister. Just the way Charna dominated in the fight made him angry everytime he thought of it. How do I counter her next time we fight? He thought. It was annoying he couldn't think of something that would help him gain an advantage.
Uraraka who was standing nearby noticed him staring out into nothing." Something wrong Alex?"
Alexander snapped back to reality and quickly calmed."Uhm? Oh no, I am fine. Just thinking about what to eat tonight." He lied. Of course he always eat burgers.
"Oh okay... So Alex...There is something I wanna ask you." Uraraka then said." Can you maybe give me some tips or something?"
"Tips?" Alexander asked.
"Yeah, like how you fight. Your school in Moscow must have put you through some major training. So can you give me some advice your learned back home?" Uraraka said throwing a few punches into the air.
Alexander gave it a quick thought. Since he was actually trained by DARTA and not what the cover story told, it wasn't technically wrong to tell her some martial stuff. Being trained by an organization that had fought demons for over a thousand years he had learned alot, but most of his advanced sword techinics were actually self taught. Surprising that many had fencing skills since most modern hunters used firearms for killing. Alexander always thought it had something to do with tradition back from when DARTA were more of a cult rather than being govermant founded. In addtion DARTA also educated him in tracking, stealth, marksmanship and puzzle solving. Giving advice to someone who was just started training for future battles didn't exactly mean that would get better over night and Uraraka wasn't training to be a hunter of demons. Maybe he should just say something anyway that was simple?." Okay, uhmm… first and foremost never underestimate your opponent." Though Alexander was guilty of not following that rule all the time."Second, be alert at all times... Yeah I got nothing more." That was really the only things he could think of.
Short and simple.
"Oh I see…" Uraraka said and began rubbing of her head with an embarrassed look." Sorry, here I thought you could lay some ancient wisdom on me. I just want to make a good impression at the internship. You know?"
"Look, I understand wanting to show you got some guts when you go to a new place. But I still say frontline work is the best training you'll ever receive. So, don't worry about it. We are interning with pros right? You are almost bound for at least getting to fight some villains." Alexander said shrugging his shoulders.
Uraraka gave him a surprised look.
"What?" Alexander asked.
"Oh sorry, it's just that under that joking and rude exterior you are actually really professional. I kinda like how Iida and Deku are so dedicated. But you are the best fighter in class and could probably whip the floor with anyone of our classmates. You make it look so easy. It…It's in incredible." Uraraka smiled.
Alexander saw this as a perfect time to joke and did a fake over reaction." GASP! DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU HAVE FALLEN ME WHEN YOU HA YOUR EYES ON MY NEIGHBOUR?! ARE WE JUST ITEMS TO BE USED TO YOUR SATISEFACTON?! WHAT VILE AND CRUEL VILLIANESS ARE YOU?!"
Uraraka freaked." W-WH-WHAT?! I DON'T THINK OF YOU THAT WAY! I MEAN Y-YOU BOTH COOL! AND UHM UHM, I HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THAT OUT OF-"
Alexander laughed." Hahaaha! I'am sorry, couldn't resist making you freakout."
"Would you kindly stop playing with my feelings?" Uraraka asked, with a grumpy face.
" Oh felt good to laugh..." Alexander sounded after laughing his last." Alright I stop. So, speaking of Green-hair. What do you think he is talking about with All Might now?"
Uraraka pondered for a moment." …. I don't know."
Just then Midoriya himself appeared. " Sorry for taking so long guys." He said after catching his breath.
" Well I guess I can just ask myself. So pal, what did Mr. Number one hero wanted to talk about?" Alexander asked Midoriya.
"Oh! A hero agency has decided to take me in!" Midoriya explained.
"Really?! That's great Deku!" Uraraka said with a wide smile.
"Congrats man. If anyone needs more training it's you. No offence of course." Alexander said.
"Thanks." Midoriya said. Secretly the agency that called out for him was apparently run by All Might's own homeroom teacher way back in the day. The way All Might was talking about him was serious, it made All Might of all people shaking in his boots. Just how scary was this guy?" Anyway, should we head for the train station?"
"Sounds good to me." Alexander said.
Midoriya took one last moment to look inside Iida's locker. It was empty.
Though it had been a good day, the mood for the next few days started to go down for the young heroes in training.
Alexander knew from the start Iida was going to go to Hosu, it soon became knowledge to the rest of the class and it made Uraraka and Midoriya feel bad for their friend, and they hoped to god that the location for the internship was just coincidence. They had hoped that he would have come and talked with them, but Iida's behavior had also changed a bit. Usually hanging out with them, instead he just went off to do his own thing.
Meanwhile Kikuchi was keeping her distance whenever Alexander tried to talk or simply walk with the small group they all started out as.
But it seemed as the group had gotten smaller just within a few days.
On the plus side Alexander did give himself some time to test out his new power Devil Trigger. D.T for short. The power was incredible, though maybe he'll reserve it to when he fights stronger enemies. Showing it to Villains, that would raise to many questions. And who knows what would happen if his friends saw him transform into a demon. Pushing it off as another ability for his fake quirk would not continue work forever.
Nevertheless, the time soon came for class 1-A to start their internships.
For their send off Class 1-A and Mr. Aizawa went to the downtown train station.
It was busy at the train station. Lots of people trying to catch a ride to wherever they needed to, which of course meant there was a lot of noise besides the sounds the trains made.
Aizawa talked." Everyone has their costumes right? Remember, you don't have permission to wear them out in public yet. And don't lose them either."
We are just ignoring the fact I am just wearing a darker version of my hero outfit? I guess it's okay since the other coat also doesn't look that heroic in the first place. Alexander thought to himself. He also carried his weapon in a separate container.
"Gotcha!" Ahsido shouted in excitement.
"Speak properly, it is yes sir." Aizawa corrected her." Make sure you mind you manners with the other heroes in you internships. Now get to it."
"Yes sir!" The class said and everyone went their own way.
Kikuchi turned to Uraraka." Alright guys good luck to you both." She said to Uraraka and Midoriya.
"Same to you." Midoriya said.
"Let's come back stronger!" Uraraka high-fived her.
After she left the two turned to Iida who was walking to his train.
"Wait!" Midoriya shouted as the two made it up to him." Hey Iida. If you ever wanna talk or anything just let us know. We are friends, right?" He told him and Uraraka nodded in agreement.
Iida just stood there for a moment before turning. He had a smile, but it had no emotion behind it." Yes, we are." He said and the turned back and walked away.
The mood for the two was sour. Midoriya felt like he should have said something, anything to him. But he didn't. He hoped that he would not come to regret it later.
At the same time just a few feet behind them stood Todoroki looking on.
Just then Alexander walked up to him." You see it too." Alexander said to him.
"Yes." Todoroki replied." Iida's eyes are full of hate. The hate for someone else who has wronged him…. I was the same not too long ago. He was going to Hosu right?"
"Yeah." Alexander said." And I think he is going to do something very stupid, once he finds you know who. Or at least he going to try and find him." Alexander said referring to the man that assaulted Iida's brother, The Hero Killer Stain." I am going to try and talk with him. Whether he likes it or not."
"Do you think you can make him listen?" Todoroki asked.
"No idea." Alexander shook his head." Later Todoroki. Good luck at your old man's place." Alexander said and walked after Iida.
"Good luck to you too." Todoroki said to Alexander before he left to.
Walking up to Iida, Alexander lightly touched his shoulder and Iida tensed up for a momment. But once he realized it was Alexander he quickly calmed." Alex?"
"You are going after the Hero Killer aren't you?" Alexander asked, being straight forward and spoke low so their conversation so it wouldn't cause a scene.
At first Iida was surprised but then regained his composeure." What if I am?" He responded coldly.
"Then you are crazy. The guy is experienced killer from what I have heard. He is not going to hold back even if you are younger than he is." Alexander said.
"That's a little rich coming from you, but no matter. I don't expect him to." Iida responded in the same manner as before.
"You are not ready for someone like him. Trust me when I say guys like him are downright merciless. Let the heroes take care of it, its for the best." Alexander said. Though if he was honest, if he was in Iida's shoes, he would go after him too. But Iida wasn't a half demon." Listen I know how you feel. But this is way out of your league."
"Sorry Alexander, but how could you possibly know how I fe-" Iida stopped himself once he realized what he was about to say. He had forgotten for a moment that Alexander entire family was murdered. He looked to see Alexander looking at him with a pissed expression.
"Okay. I am going to ignore what you were about to say there and be more direct." Alexander said with anger in his tone." I know the feeling vengeance, Iida. That pain is not going away if you die. I sincerly hope you learn that during this STUPID internship." He said and stormed off in anger.
Standing back, Iida cursed at himself for offending his friend. But he still had his heart set on finding the hero killer. He couldn't let go of it. However, once he was got what he wanted he would need to apologize to Alexander later. But that time was not now.
Hours later Alexander arrived in the town of Ordo via taxi.
He kind of regretted he let his anger get the better of him and not finished talking it out with Iida. But now it was too late to change that.
Looking out the window Alexander saw it was just like how it was described. A big town with lots of people.
"We are here." The Taxi driver said.
Once Alexander got out he paid the driver. Unfortunately, he couldn't get Miss Calhoun to drive him." Thanks for the ride." Alexander said.
After the taxi took off Alexander took a moment to look around. He spotted at the end of the downtown road the hero agency he was supposed to go to. The building was big and had it's own parking yard.
So that's the place? Alexander thought.
All of sudden Alexander heard a familiar voice behind him." Thanks for the ride dude."
Alexander turned to see the person who spoke shut the taxi door.
The person who spoke was non-other than that Class 1-B member he had teamed up with during the sportsfestival." Hm? Wow, Alexander is that you?!" Jason asked.
"Jason, right? From class 1-B?" Alexander asked.
"No way! You are going to be interning at the Royal Hero agency too? Man, this is going to be lit!" Jason said with excitement.
So he got an offer from the same place? That was odd since the only thing Alexander had heard was the guy rarely takes on anyone." Well I guess we are doing this together." Alexander said and began walking.
"Oh yeah! Team Outcast is aceing it once again! Hey just so you know. Me and Nobu thought it was really cool how you got Bakugo to basically wet himself in your fight. I mean the look on his face man!"
"Yeah, yeah." Alexander didn't really wanted to talk, but Jason kept on chatting as the two made it down the street to hero agency.
Meanwhile in the other side of the country.
"Grand Torino, I have never heard of this guy before, but he must be incredible. And also super amazing." Midoriya said to himself. Walking down the street he soon found the place where he was going to intern. The building looked old and in need of desperate repair, the sign on the door was even falling of to.
For a brief moment Midoriya doubted this was where All Might's own teacher was supposed to be, but he opened the door to check anyway. Slowly opening the door, he noticed just how dark it was inside. Kind of creepy." Uhm hello? I am here from U.A high. It's Izuku Midoriya? I am really looking forward to-" As his eyes scanned the room they landed something laying on the floor. Focusing so more he was shocked to see that it was a person and underneath the person some red paint. However quickly he realized it was not paint but body fluid blood. He went into a panic." HOLLY WOOY HE IS DEAD!?" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
But to his big surprise the person head shot up from the ground to look at him and said." I am alive."
Midoriya's response was still quite loud but understandable." AAAH! HE IS ALIVE!?"
Back with Alexander and Jason the two had just made it on to the agency's ground and were almost at the door.
"Here we go!" Jason said and went over to the door faster than Alexander. Jason was kind of like Uraraka in terms of behavior, he could definitely see the two could become friends.
However just as Alexander took one more step there was a sudden humming coming from his person. He knew what was making that noise but here? Pulling his shirt, he looked down his chest to see his amulet was glowing green. That could only mean one thing.
There were demons nearby.
"Crap." He muttered in a whisper.
Was it Charna? No wait last time they met the amulet glowed blue instead of the usual green, and that meant that since it was green now that could only mean it was a regular demon.
Or at least not Charna.
Jason looked over his shoulder before entering and saw Alexander was doing something wired with his shirt."Hey are you okay?"
Snapping back from is chain of thoughts Alexander played it off cool." Just thought I felt a small insect or something crawl, it was nothing. Now let's see what this place is about." If there is a demon here I need to be careful. He thought.
Shrugging his shoulders Jason waited for when Alexander made it over to him before he opened the door. Alexander and Jason's internship had official begun.
Stepping inside the first thing they noticed was a woman behind a glass reception desk. Walking up she was the first to talk." Welcome to the Royal Hero Agency, how can I be of assistance. Oh wait a moment, you two must be Mr. Kowalczyk and Mr. Oliveira, the two interns we have been waiting for?"
"Yep, that's us!" Jason said cheerfully while Alexander gave a nod.
"Splendid, I'll contact our leader Tokzen at once, and he'll be with you shortly. Please, you two can go to the dojo at the end of the hall behind me. There you'll meet our Sidekicks as well." The reception lady said.
"Cool." Jason said and both he and Alexander walked down the hall and entered the so-called dojo.
The dojo was huge. In fact, looked more like a gymnastics hall from the seer size, but it had training gear and that distinct Asian martial arts design look and feel to it.
On the right were some of the supposed sidekicks training. There were three of them.
"So, it is true. This guy does not take on many people for sidekicks despite being famous." Alexander said.
"Yeah that's what I heard as well. Normally pro heroes have around ten to twenty. But maybe there are more just out patrolling right now?" Jason suggested.
"Ah, so you must be the two interns." Voice said behind them.
Jason and Alexander looked behind them and saw the source of the voice. It was a huge man in a white gi and black belt. The quirk being a lion humanoid appearance. It was the martial artist Hideo Tokzen, better known Royal Fang. Their supervisor for the internship. "Welcome to the Royal Hero Agency." He said.
As soon as those words were spoken, the sidekicks dropped what they were doing and came over to then bow." Sensei!" They said at the same time.
While Jason was aweing the site of the pro hero, Alexander was not that impressed, but he had to act nice now." I'm guessing you are Royal Fang?" Alexander said.
"That I am. You must Alexander Kowalczyk, am I correct? And you are Jason Oliveira." Royal Fang said.
"Sir yes sir! It is an honor to meet you sir!" Jason saluted.
"Please….uhm… sorry what were your hero names again?" Royal Fang asked.
"I am Dart Lad sir!" Jason said.
"Alex. Just Alex." Alexander said.
"Ah yes, Alex and Dart Lad. And please calm yourself, Dart Lad. We have plenty of time to be active." Royal Fang turned to his sidekicks." Greet our guests." He told them.
And without hesitation they did exactly that." Welcome interns! We are thrilled to have you vists our agency!" Royal must be highly respected if that how they act for him.
"Good. Now before we start we need to for two more that will join us. I plan on doing your internship a little different then what others are doing. You two, me and the two others will teaching you the ropes on being heroes, our other sidekicks in the meanwhile will handle most of the harder hero work. Don't worry you'll still learn what you need to know." Royal Fang said.
"Okay, so when are these two others supposed to be here?" Alexander asked.
Just then the door opened behind them and in stepped the two people.
One was a woman the other a man, both young and dressed in their hero suits. The woman had blue hair like Jason only longer, the man had orange.
The woman wore a blue jumpsuit with fingerless gloves and long boots while the man wore also a jumpsuit, but it was orange and his boots were normal size and his gloves were fully armored gauntlets.
Their hero costumes looked to mirror each other's.
"Sorry we are late sensei." The man said.
"Your timing is actually perfect. I was just talking with our interns." Royal Fang." Introduce yourselves."
"Yes sensei. Hello, I am Kejito also known as Copper Man! My quirk allows me to coat nonorganic material in a copper color metal for sometime, so I can use it to make weapons out of everyday items." The man Kejito said.
"I am Sawanan otherwise known as Chitin Cut. My quirk allows me to grow these." The woman said and out of the side of her forearms and elbow was these long blades." Pretty neat huh? So, you are the two form U.A High right? Must have been hard to get in." Sawanan said and offered a handshake.
Jason accepted. "Oh, nothing too bad for people like me and Alex over here. Isn't that right Alex?" Jason asked and after also shook Kejito's.
"Sure. I can definitely see how you guys became heroes." Alexander said and then shook Sawanan's hand and Kejito's too. It was a little awakard for Alexander. Anyone of these people around him, expect Jason, could be a demon that would strike at any time.
Royal Fang turned to the other sidekicks." You guys go and do as we discussed. Good luck."
"Sensei!" They said and left.
Royal Fang turned to two U.A students." You two go get changed, and come back here."
After have gotten the right clothes on the two U.A students reentered the dojo. Alexander simply replaced his black coat with the grey and red one, and got his sword out.
Jason on the other hand put on his more heroic outfit. He wore a grey jumpsuit of sorts with an orange pattern. On top the head he had blue goggles and a cape coming down the right shoulder.
"Okay down to business." Royal Fang said." I am sure you both have heard that we don't really send out for interns for our agency. Do you know why I sent my offer out to you?" He asked the two U.A students.
Jason took a moment to pounder." Sorry sir I don't know." He said.
"The reason I sent out my offer the two you are because of how you both handle yourselves during the sports festival." Royal Fang.
As soon as Alexander heard that, he sighed and walked away." Yeah okay, sorry but I suddenly lost all interest. If you wanted to yell me then wait your turn. I have no regret of what I did." Maybe if he went now he could contact Miss Calhoun about the demonic presence.
Confused of his fellow student's attitude Jason immediately ran up and tried to stop him." Wow wow wow! Alex, dude! You can just walk away like that!" He said in a low tone to him." I am sorry he is a little rude at times." Jason said to the Pro Hero and sidekicks as tried to defuse any negativity.
"It's alright Dart Lad." Royal Fang said to Jason before speaking Alexander." Mr. Kowalczyk perhaps you want me to finish before leaving." Alexander stopped up." If you think that I brought you here from some sort of lecture then you are wrong. In fact, I happen to agree."
That confused the two U.A students." I am sorry sir?" Jason asked.
"Alexander is right about the sports festival. U.A is a school meant to teach young people into becoming heroes not turning them in celebrities for fame. Heroes are meant be selfless and stand for protect our civilized world. That's why I care little for events such as the sports festival and hero rankings."
This came as a shock to Jason." W-wait a minute. Aren't you a famous martial arts hero? Pardon me but how can you say you dislike hero culture if you yourself is famous because of it?"
"Dart Lad. That is where you need to think differently. I am not a martial arts hero, I am a martial artist and a hero. My skills outside of my work was not so I could become famous, but rather to train myself in becoming the very best in what I do." Royal Fang said and turned to Kejito." Explain what we do here."
"Yes sensei." Kejito." Here at the Royal we do not seek to strike with risks. Like a king's personal guard, we will use ourselves as shields to attack the enemy and take them down as quick as possible by overcoming any sort of attack. The Royal Hero agency will teach you how to make you defense into offence."
Defense into offence? Alexander thought.
Royal Fang spoke again." When I saw you both in the festival I couldn't help but see you both frequently use dodges and precision strikes to take down you opponents to win. While that is good, both of you will probably fail sooner or later if you up against opponents who do not flinch so easily. That's why I sent out my offer to the two of you. I believe you can become better if learn from us and turn your defense into attacks."
Both took a moment to process what Royal Fang said before Alexander smirked." You said that you dislike the current hero culture. But what if I told you that I only chose to become a hero for the money?" Let's see how far his ideals go, He thought.
"If that's was the case then why did you forfeit the tournament? Say what you want but I don't believe you are only in it for the money. You got a drive don't you? something you need to get done, I can see it in your eyes." Royal Fang said.
Alexander was taken back. He got me there. He thought while bitting his lower lip.
Royal Fang turned to Jason." For you Dart Lad. When I saw how hyped you were during the games I gave it some thought and I believe I can make you into a great hero. You are also not doing it for money aren't you."
Just as Alexander, Jason was also taken back though perhaps a bit more." When I was little back in Brazil, I looked at the tv one day and saw this guy hurting people for fun. That was until some other guy showed up and brought him in. I thought it was so cool that he saved those people. I wanted to be like that too. I want to help people because it's the right thing to do."
Just a couple of minutes ago Alexander thought that Jason was someone like Uraraka. But he also reminded him of Midoriya by a tiny bit.
"That's a good answer." Royal Fang said and gazed at Alexander once more." Still not interested?"
Alexander gave some thought. Maybe he'll humor him by staying for now. Plus, just maybe he could also find some proof of just who was the demon in hiding." Alright Kitty Man. How about you show some of that defensive offence then, since you people really speak so highly of it?"
Royal Fang ignored the kitty man part." Chitin Cut, come spar with me. Let's show these fledging heroes how we do it."
"Yes sensei." Chitin Cut said.
Two heroes walked to the middle of the dojo and got into fighting poses while Jason, Alexander and Copper Man stood off to the side.
After an intense minute gazing each other down Chitin Cut charged forward with blade arms ready."HAAA!"
Royal readied himself for the strike and as it came towards him he took one step just before she struck he moved in a delivered an attack breaking Chitin Cut's attack.
Chitin Cut took a few steps back and attacked again. And again, Royal Fang countered. This time it was slightly different as when the attack actually hit but Royal Fang followed with the attack and then pushed back send Chitin Cut back three meters.
And so, it went. Each time Chitin Cut made and attack Royal blocked or deflected while simultaneously going forward inch by inch, making sure she never got any foot hold and soon enough Chitin Cut was out of the ring.
Jason was amazed." I have never seen that kind of fighting before!"
Alexander had to admit that was good. Usually he never fought like that and just let himself take the blow since he had such good regeneration that was probably now better since his fight with Charna. But perhaps there was something to this style of combat that he could learn from.
Royal Fang went over and offered a hand for Chitin Cut and she happily accepted. "This is what we can teach you. The power of offensive defense. Now are you two ready?"
Alexander smirked." Okay, fine. I'm game."
"Me to!" Jason said while fist bumping into the air.
"Excellent." Royal Fang said." Alex, you train with Chitin Cut and Jason, you are with Copper Man. Time to sweat!"
Meanwhile, at the same time in Hosu city.
" On a normal day I'll just be waiting for client calls to come in. not really exciting but things have been fairly hectic here lately."
Iida was patrolling around the city with the guy he was interning with. The Normal Hero Manual. His quirk was that he can control water to a good degree.
"So you are using street patrols to suppress crime?" Iida asked wearing his armor costume.
"Yeah exactly." Manual said." Man, I kind of can't believe Ingenium's little brother is interning at my agency. I am sure you had offers from pros with much bigger followings then mine."
Though Iida appeared as if he was listening, he really wasn't. All he could think about was that murderous scoundrel Stain, The hero killer.
The man had killed several heroes as of late, and heavily wounded others in the process, but other than that he was also very elusive.
Iida knew he may not be able to find him. But he had to try, for Tensei.
That scumbag needed to be put down.
Many hours later back in Ordo.
The agency had closed down for today. Usually an agency was open twenty-four seven but as Royal Fang told them.
"We have a partnership with another hero agency in town. You see most of their guys have night-based quirks so we made a deal with them that we patrol during the day and they patrol night. We have prepared beds for you at the local hotel since we don't have extra room for guests, sorry."
It didn't bother the two U.A students as much and so they went to a fastfood joint to eat dinner before going to their rooms. It had gotten dark outside before they were fully done with their food.
"Man, that was good." Alexander said, always satisfied after getting a burger or more.
"I say it looked like you really enjoyed that meal." Jason commented.
"What can I say. I believe burgers are one of the best food items mankind has ever made. The beef with mustard, onions and cucumber is really delectable for me. And throw some cheese in there, man I don't known anything that is better than that." Alexander said slightly exaggerating his love for burgers. Only slightly though.
"Oh well, ready to head for the hotel rooms. Boy I am glad we don't have to share a room." Jason said.
Alexander had something to do before he headed for his room, and now might be a good time to do it. "Actually, I am going to check that store out we saw just down the street first, to see if its still open. You go ahead I'll be there soon." Alexander said.
"Alright cool. Goodnight, Alex." Jason said and walked away.
Once he was out of sight, Alexander put on his serious face.
Going into an ally, Alexander jumped from wall to wall and manifested an air hike platform to come up on the roof.
Running across the roof tops Alexander quickly managed to get to the hero agency. It was really weird to see the streets so empty compared to when he got here eariler. Neverthless he took out his amulet and it began glowing." So, the demon IS still around. Good, maybe I can snoop around and come up with a plan to take it down." He muttered to himself. Before he was about to jump to the next building, Alexander stopped himself when he spotted some of those heroes from the other agency. Once they left however he continued.
Landing in the back of the building that also was an alleyway, Alexander noticed there was a door what was leading into the agency.
Let's hope for the key-smith it's not locked. Alexander thought from himself. Just before he was about to touch the door handle it started to move. It could only mean that someone was about to walk outside.
Thinking quickly Alexander stopped what he was doing and jumped up the wall again.
The door opened and out stepped two people.
Alexander was now up on the roof and lay on his stomach to glance over the edge.
It was Sawanan and Kejito. The two sidekicks he met today. What were they doing?
Sawanan and Kejito looked up the wall as if they sensed something. Luckily Alexander managed to move his head as to not get spotted.
After the two sidekicks stopped gazing at the roof edges they began walking.
Alexander got up from laying down and quietly followed them.
At little further ahead the sidekicks turned down another alleyway breaking Alexander's line of sight.
He jumped again and leaned up against a wall and walked until he got to the corner.
Alexander didn't want to risk getting spotted so he took out his smartphone and used it's turned off screen to reflect what was going.
In the makeshift mirror, he saw Sawana and Kejito walk over to little spot on a wall.
All of a sudden the wall had red glowing text came swirling out. Just then a portal of some kind opened and out fell a body that looked like a that of a street thug, but on unmoving.
I don't like where this is going. Alexander thought to himself.
Sawana, Chitin Cut and Kejito, Copper man knelt down next to the body and gazed at it for a few seconds.
Then it happened.
Sawana and Kejito's bodies began to deform, changing skin color to grey, their eyes turned pure bloody red, finger nails becoming razors and teeth became sharp. Definitely more monstrous. As soon their transformation was done they started chewing into the body as a pair of savage animals.
So, there are two demons? Okay then. And they are sidekicks here too? Alexander thought as he then turned on the video camera in his phone to record it.
However, during the demons' meal one of the hands from the dead body accidently flew over towards the corner where Alexander was standing hidden.
Thinking that was not good, he pulled his phone back and turned it off.
A moment later Alexander heard footsteps coming towards him.
He looked at the ground at see a dim shadow slowly come up. Then a demonic hand shot forth and grabbed hold of the dismembered hand from the dead thug and clawed it back. From the hand he could guess that it was Chitin Cut's, judging by the fingerless gloves.
After the demonic woman walked back to eat with her companion, Alexander pulled up his phone again and continued to record more footage.
After Sawanan and Kejito or whoever they were, were finished with the meal they changed back to their human forms.
The bones were gathered and then Sawana held out her hands and preformed a spell of sorts. The spell made the left-over bones evaporate into thin air and only leaving behind small specks of dust.
As the disguised demons were about to make their way back to the agency, Alexander hurried to get away to avoid detection.
After getting away safely, Alexander jumped back on to the street from the roof and started making his way over to the hotel. He called up Miss Calhoun as he went.
"Hello DaVinci. How is your internship going?" Miss Calhoun asked over the phone.
"Not good." Alexander responded." I think I may have stumbled over something that involves our line of work. Sending footage now." He said.
Around the same time in another part of the region.
*Cluad* It sounded.
A moment later Midoriya landed on a bunch of trash bags after he had failed his jump.
He had now met All Might's own teacher, Grand Torino. At first the small aged man acted like an old geezer. But after seen his Midoriya in his hero costume the man's attitude changed completely to serious. Grand Torino challenged to bout were Midroiya had to hit him. But Grand Torino's quirk made him speed around the room at a terrifying speed, Midoriya could not land a single hit.
After that Grand Torino told him something.
"You think One for All is more special then it really is."
After Grand Torino got back from buying food, he fell a sleep and slept for the rest of the day. That was it. No other kind of training. So therefore, Midoriya decided to do a bit of training on his own.
Ever since he had started at U.A he had watch his fellow classmates move with mobility that he never thought he could do back when he was quirkless. But now he learned more about One for All. And was ready to give it a shot.
So, he come up with an idea on how to jump from wall to wall in order to get on top the roof.
So far first attempt was failure." Aw! I can't take the time to visualize the result like I normally do. But I have to try again!" He said to himself.
He jumped again this time focusing putting force in his hands. Aaaaaand it fail and he fell to the ground.
Okay once more! He thought and failed again.
"I gotta do it faster!" he shouted out loud. No matter how many times he failed he needed to try again.
And so, for hours after it had gone dark Midoriya tried his hardest to preform the wall jump.
And he kept on going.
But Midoriya would not get to preform the wall jump that night, but it was only his first day at his internship.
