Let's see how Izuku explains this one, along with elaborating on how his internship is going to work since All Might already offered him a part time deal, there's also the real chance that Gran Torino might not step up to train Izuku since this version's progress with his quirk has come along just fine. So...Time for everyone's favorite game: The Wheel of Heroes!
P.S I made an oopsie last chapter, I'll fix it after I finish this one. Essentially I forgot to give Pony her offers, my bad. Made another oopsie in this chapter with the training schedule, thankfully it was just a minor one so I fixed it quickly enough.
"Yugi? Why'd you choose that name? It's definitely unique, I can't say I've heard of a hero called that before but why the game aesthetic?" Midnight questioned me, not disapproving but definitely surprised by my choice.
"I've grown a recent appreciation for the medium. It's also very relatable since I've yet to meet someone who hasn't at least played a game once in their life, video games or not. Plus this will help differentiate me from All Might, he's an amazing hero but I can't just be a copy of him now can I?" I explained, of course that was just a side reason, only a select few knew the real reason for the name. Either way it was accepted rather easily and class went on.
Though that didn't mean that the questions ended for me. "So, any idea who you're gonna intern with man? You and Todoroki-san have it rough having to sift through thousands of offers like that." Kirishima asked while sending me a slightly pitying look. Which immediately turned into shock as I scanned through each offer with the efficiency of a printer.
That being said there were still over 9,000 of them so it took me nearly an hour to read them all, thankfully most of them were quick denials. No offense to the most heroes but a good 20% of them were foreign heroes, so no. 30% were a bit too far from Musutafu to really consider(several hundred kilometers. And 40% were a bunch of opportunists that had no idea what they were doing. Half of said opportunists didn't even get my information right.
Which still left me with nearly 900 offers to seriously consider. I managed to narrow it down to about 10. In order of interest from least to most they were: Best Jeanist, Fat Gum, Midnight(sweatdrop), Gang Orca, The Wild Wild Pussycat team which counted as four, Mirko of all people which surprised me, and finally Recovery Girl. After looking into each hero my choices became obvious.
"Ok I'm done." I said catching the people around me by surprise. Those that were interested(most of them) got up and checked out my options. Their first question was expected.
"Why do you have four offers here? Are you indecisive?" Iida asked, genuinely curious. As were the others, especially when they noticed a certain name among the papers.
"Wow, wow, wow! You're interning with All Might! Dude why didn't you tell anyone?!" TetsuTetsu exclaimed in shock at the offer. All Might never took interns! Though after thinking about it a bit more, it made sense that Izuku was the first.
"Sorry, it honestly slipped my mind. Anyway it's not a full internship, All Might-sensei is a busy man so I'll only be able to intern with him for about three hours a day. After that I'll be bouncing back and forth between three more heroes, hence the four offers." I explained while gesturing to my choices.
All Might
Midnight
Recovery Girl
Miruko
"Huh. I get why you chose the first three since they all operate here in Musutafu but why Miruko? She works all the way out in Tokyo." Shoda asked, questioning the practicality of my last choice. I thought that at first too but then I remembered an important fact.
"Tokyo is only about 20 km away. If I keep myself to subsonic speeds I could reach the city in a little under a minute. Even less if I go full speed but that might cause collateral damage from the sonic booms." I explained casually, not really paying attention to the bug eyed looks I was getting. Though to be fair they only lasted for a few seconds before they realized who they were talking to.
"As for the reason. Her fighting style works well with my quirk, speed focused, with a focus on quick and decisive kicks. I already know boxing so this is the next logical style to learn, with my jeet kune do filling in the blanks. Besides this is the first internship offer she's ever given out. Call me curious." There was also the fact that Hosu city was even closer to Tokyo than it was to Musutafu. The same city that Stain, and coincidentally Iida were likely going to. Yeah I had a fairly good idea of what he was going to do.
Wondering what the girls were choosing I went over to check on them. "What about you girls? Got any good offers?" I asked them, they were still on their 50th-ish offer, not having the same cheat like ability to scan through them like I did.
After they gave me their best puppy dog eyes I caved and decided to help her out. Surprisingly, Ochako also had an offer from a certain cheesy hero, along with a few other notable ones which immediately narrowed down my search.
"Here's the top 10 options based on each of your strengths, weaknesses, their distance from Musutafu, and possible team up opportunities." I showed the offers to them, not-so-subtle pushing All Might's offer to Ochako first. It might be a bit selfish of me but then again it's an offer from the number 1 hero, if she didn't pick that as one of her options it would look weird.
The first to react to their offers was Pony who looked the most surprised. "Eh the pro hero Gang Orca! So cool, he's one of my favorites and a member of the top 10!" She was excited for the chance to work with such a successful hero, especially since they shared the animal theme in common. She also received offers from the Wild Wild Pussycat group but the prestige of a hero in the top 10 was hard to say no to.
Next was Momo who took a look at her options with a much more tempered enthusiasm. "Yoroi Musha? An interesting choice, I suppose his weapons mastery would work well with my quirk, though I may choose Edgeshot instead, his specialization in shinobi based weapons might be better for me. Or maybe Snipe-sensei? Learning to properly use firearms would be an invaluable skill for me." Oh god she picked up my old muttering habits. At least it's mostly understandable unlike my own rapid fire info dumps.
As she was in the middle of that Shiozaki took her chance to look over her offers. Her reactions were about as expected, quickly decided which she thought was best. "Kamui Woods seems to be my best bet. His quirk has a wonderful synergy with my own. You have my thanks for speeding up the selection process Izuku-kun." She bowed in thanks while I looked towards Ochako who just finished picking out her offers.
"I think you got the right idea by sticking with U.A teachers Deku-kun. I wonder why Midnight-sensei asked for both of us but Thirteen-sensei and All Might strike a great balance between combat and rescue training!" There were certainly perks to having some of the top heroes as your teachers, especially when a few of them just so happened to specialize in similar fields as you.
"Would you like a fourth hero too? Or would you prefer to stick with heroes based in U.A? Travel isn't a problem by the way, as long as your hero isn't based too far away I could take you to and from them." I offered, it really wasn't a problem, add in a few runes and we wouldn't even have to worry about the problems with friction or exposure.
"...Do you just want an excuse to carry me bridal style?" She gave me her practiced deadpan stare. To which I gave my own. I was neither going to confirm or deny that. In the end she decided that three heroes were more than enough. 3 hours training with All Might and then 6 more for the other two leaving her with 9 hours of sleep.
"Smooth boy wonder. Real smooth." Rin teased along with the more vocal of the boys. Even Komori and Mina joined in on the teasing turning my face a little pink at being called out like that.
"You should know by now that you don't need something this complicated. Just ask ok!" Ochako continued the...Joke? By throwing herself at me, I caught her on instinct leaving us in the previously mentioned bridal style carry.
This immediately shut up the now jealous guys while doubling the girl's squeals. "You're getting good at this. I didn't even feel you budge from that!" She wasn't wrong, then again I was used to pulling multi ton loads by now, so my barely 70kg girlfriend was comparatively light as a feather.
"If you two are quite done." Aizawa's deadpan voice and stare stopped us. "Since most of your offers are in U.A it would be logical to start them now. Go to the teacher's lounge and stop wasting our time." Not wanting to annoy the man any further we did as he said.
Minutes later, Teachers Lounge
Entering the relatively large room we noticed four of our teachers sitting around and relaxing a bit as their students mulled over their options. All Might, Present Mic, Midnight, and Thirteen were all in various states of rest. Well, maybe not Present Mic since his version of relaxing was intense screaming into his usual radio station.
"Ah, young Midoriya, young Uraraka, do you two need anything? Knowing Aizawa-sensei I assume you're here to start your internship early right?" All Might guessed correctly, catching the attention of Thirteen and Midnight who also asked for the two young heroes.
"So the school's power couple decided to take up our offer. Or is it power quartet? Quintet? I never did get the chance to ask little Shiozaki about that." Midnight teased/asked, honestly curious over our relationship. She was always the aunt of our class, or the older sister if you wanted to keep your life.
"I've stopped questioning it a while ago and decided to just go with the flow." I answered, it was the only correct one I suppose since Ochako smirked and hugged me from behind, earning another round of teasing from Midnight before the slightly more mature heroes decided that it would be best to get started.
"Let's head over to training room Omega, I think it's about time that you two got some training in the woods, you never know when the job will take you out of the city after all! From there you will be training in combat with Midnight-sensei and in forest rescue operations with Thirteen-sensei for the next twelve hours, or ten hours in young Midoriya's case before he heads off to train with Mirko for five more hours. After that you two will join me on patrol for the remaining three hours! Sound like a plan?"
All Might called out the plan while pulling out a small script with the training plan on it. He was pretty good at this kind of stuff, Ochako's physical prowess could vouch for that. This plan even allowed for us to train up our resistance to changing sleep schedules, Ochako would have to take small naps after her training with Thirteen and Midnight before training with All Might in order to maintain her 9 hours of sleep. Meanwhile I'd have to adjust to 6 hours flat, which while not ideal would also be necessary at times so I'd just deal with it.
"You two should prepare yourselves, we don't plan on going easy on you so hurry up and get your costumes! You'll be staying on campus throughout the course of this internship so don't worry about where you'll sleep. And no, you won't be sleeping in the same room you rowdy teens!" Midnight teased, to the chagrin of the other teachers and a blush from their two trainees.
"Oh don't act so innocent! What kind of guy has a harem and can't eve- You know what nevermind." She corrected herself, remembering that a shy, slightly oblivious guy was a fairly common trope in the harem genre.
"Jokes aside we should get going, we're burning daylight here!" Thirteen interrupted Midnight, thankfully she agreed and we started heading out to training ground omega. 20 minutes later and we were in our costumes waiting for our teachers to finish setting up the field.
"Ok you two here's the exercise! You two will make your way to the center of ground omega, from there the fun will begin! Not that kind of fun, down girl." She was talking to herself there, neither of the students gave her more than a blank look.
"A-anyway, Thirteen-sensei will be breaking up the area around you while leaving behind highly advanced rescue dolls that you will need to save from the elements. They will be considered 'safe' so long as they reach this area within the allotted time frame. As for my part in this." She licked her lips, her role becoming obvious.
"Just consider me another obstacle, you may do whatever it takes to immobilize or incapacitate me, however if one of the civilians gets injured any further it will be considered a failure and point will be reduced accordingly. Your final score will be given at the end of the exercise!" She finished her explanation, we stood there to see if there was anything else.
"Well? What are you waiting for, an invitation to my dungeon?!" What? "The exercise starts now! Head into the forest or Thirteen-sensei will start early with you in the way! Natural disasters don't wait for heroes!" Saving the questions for later we rushed off into the forest together, hoping to get to the center before the trees started falling on top of us.
This was going to be a long week.
Indeed it will. But that's what you asked for when you signed up to train with multiple pro heroes I guess. Anyways that should be all for this chapter, sorry if it's a bit short but I plan on releasing multiple chapters this time around for each of my stories. Also I've corrected a few errors in past chapters so if you see multiple updates, now you know why!
Hope you all enjoyed it, and as always have a great day!
The next chapter of my other stories will be uploaded shortly(within the next two days) Sorry about the wait, but 3-4 chapters are going to be uploaded at around the same time to make up for it!
