Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 2: Intānshippu no junbi
Midoriya and Yaoyorozu sweat-dropped at the scene as they wondered what state of mental health is Monoma in, as they watched the two Class 1-B members leave the cafeteria, and the two Classmates 1-A students sighed as they finished their lunch before heading back to their classroom.
There Midoriya asked her if she has found a hero agency that would take her in for internship, which she said she is considering some, then she asked if he has found one, and he said he is currently in limbo, explaining that Nighteye's agency is swamped with paperwork which Centipeder said that their lack of staff members prevented him from hiring Midoriya.
Midoroiya also said that Gran Torino is currently helping with the police and thus he couldn't have the time to mentor him.
"I see…"
"Yeah."
"That must be tough, Midoriya."
"It's fine. I'll pull through."
"I know."
"Thanks."
"Sure."
"…"
As they passed by the teachers' lounge Midoriya tells Yaoyorozu to go ahead, which she nodded and asked she went ahead, he decided to talk to All Might if he has any recommendations, and upon entering he saw Kendo there and the two schoolmates greeted each other.
There Uwabami came and she greeted Kendo, and as the two females are chatting she noticed Midoriya as he is mumbling and muttering, hearing him commenting about Uwabami, her Quirk, her reputation as a pro hero and a model, and there Uwabami finds him…cute.
There she asked Kendo about Midoriya, and after hearing it, the model-pro hero slowly took an interest in him and an idea formed in her head, and there she came up with something that would help in solving the case she is investigating.
There Uwabami called Midoriya and tells him and Kendo that she is offering them work study under her and that their talents are needed as she is investigating a case and believe that the two teens would be a huge help in solving it which Midoriya wondered if this is true, as he heard from Yaoyorozu about how she and Kendo spend their internship under Uwabami.
The two teens were hesitant at first but upon hearing Uwabami saying that she'll need the two teens' help in solving a case, they seem to open up and asked if this involves investigation work, which the pro hero said it is.
"An investigation?"
"Really?"
"Yes. my reputation as a fashion model and a pro hero are on the line…and seeing you two, I think you'll be the right choice, and therefore I'll be needing your help."
"I see…"
"So you'll be needing us to do some investigation on a case you're in…"
"Yes. and you two are perfect."
"Really?"
"Us?"
"Uh-huh."
Not far, Eraser Head watches on and sensed what Uwabami is intending to do, and felt that this might be a good thing as Midoriya might learn a thing or two about doing detective work after the boy previously work-studied under Sir Nighteye.
All Might was watching as well and asked Eraser Head if this is okay as he is somewhat aware that Midoriya is not quite used to do modeling and the sort, but Eraser Head says that it is okay for Midoriya and that he need to explore other things beside what he underwent previously.
"…and so this would be a good opportunity for Midoriya."
"I'm not sure about this, Aizawa. I mean…young Midoriya has never done modelling before…"
"Leave it to Uwabami. She'll guide him."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Unlike before, Uwabami is going to get serious this time. Her name and reputation are on the line and she needs to address them right away."
"Hmm…"
"I say Midoriya should accept it since this one involves detective work and the like."
"I suppose…"
Uwabami continued to talk to the two teens, saying that they are perfect for her current mission and assured to them that unlike before, they will play an important part as they will go undercover, which Midoriya seemed to be open to that, as it might help in finding the culprit and can use his combat abilities to take down the culprits, and Kendo is also open to the idea, as her last internship was quite bittersweet due to doing mostly commercials and stuff.
Kendo asked if Uwabami mean about their new internship involving detective work, which the pro hero nodded, saying that her reputation is being questioned after the disappearance of the other female hero students who underwent her internship and have not been found yet.
This made her feel somewhat concerned after hearing some of the details from the fashion pro heroine.
"So the girls who underwent internship to you haven't been found since when…?"
"Several weeks."
"That long…?"
"I find it alarming as the parents are starting to accuse me of sending them to a wrong path…if you get my drift."
"…"
"But I'll be having a hard time, so I decided to get some help…and seeing you and that boy…I believe that your talents would be a big factor in helping me solve this case."
"Whoa…"
"…"
Kendo and Midoriya glanced at each other before glancing at Uwabami, and the two teens nodded as they accepted Uwabami's offer, and the three left the teacher's lounge, and there All Might wondered if Midoriya made the right call in accepting Uwabami's offer of work study under her, though Eraser Head said that this will be fine, as it would be helpful that Midoriya would learn something new.
Gran Torino came, having overheard what occurred moments ago and agreed with what Eraser Head said, telling All Might that Midoriya doing some undercover work would be a good learning experience as he already learned how to harness his Quirk, and using brain power and deductions would be an added bonus as part of the training.
Torino told All Might that Midroiya will be okay and is confident that he would get positive results from the work study under Uwabami, which All Might reluctantly nodded.
"Don't you worry, Toshinori. Midoriya will be fine."
"Really, Torino?"
"The internship and the work study he got from me and Nightewye already helped that kid in understanding his Quirk. Him having a work study under Uwabami would be a good change of pace. This time he would get to use his brain more than his brawn."
"Well…"
"Having heard about the situation involving Uwabami, I think that her choosing Midoriya would be a good change of pace."
"Hmm…I suppose you have a point."
"Now let's wait and see where this would lead to."
"Okay."
-x-
At the classroom of Class 1-A, Hanta Sero approached Kaminari and Mineta, and told them a scoop that he got minutes ago, which the two boys glanced at him, and there Sero told them that he saw Midoriya is being offered hero work study under Uwabami, and his partner is Itsuka Kendo of Class 1-B, where Midroiya would undergo undercover work, and said that it might involve participating in modeling, having seen Uwabami's past commercials that involves Kendo and Yaoyorozu.
Kaminari and Mineta expressed shock and surprise at hearing this, and they felt regretful for not finding out, feeling that Midoriya would get the most fun working with a pro hero who is also a fashion model, and that he would get to see lots of beautiful models.
"Eh?"
"Really?"
"Yep. That's what I heard."
"That Midoriya! He's so lucky!"
"Now I'm jealous!"
"What's more, guys…with Kendo along, I'm betting that they might do a fashion modeling of sorts together…"
"No way!"
"That Midoriya…he really gets to hug a hottie!"
Not far, Yaoyorozu is surprised to hear this, and Ashido naughtily noted that Midoriya would get lots of attentions as she reminded Yaoyorozu how her internship with Uwabami went, and the class rep sighed and wondered if Midroiya would be okay, but Asui said that there might be a reason, pointing out the recent news about female hero students who interned under Uwabami disappeared and have not been found.
Uraraka also said that she heard it as well, and the girls wondered if Uwabami hiring Midoriya and Kendo is connected in the missing girls cases and that Midoriya and Kendo are about to engage in some undercover detective work.
"Uwabami doing the investigation with Kendo and Deku…"
"Sounds exciting…he would get to see lots of models…"
"I don't think that's the case. Uwabami is doing undercover investigation…so I think Midoriya and Kendo would do some detective work and the like."
"That's what I think too, Yaoyorozu-san!"
"Me too. So don't think that Midroiya is going to laze around like what happened to me before!"
"…"
"…"
"Okay?"
Ashido then lighten up the mood of the discussion by saying that if that is the case, then Midoriya would be very lucky, as if Uwabami is investigating the missing female hero students' disappearance, then it is possible that Midoriya might do some modeling jobs as part of the undercover work, and noted with Kendo along for the ride, she naughtily assumes that the two would appear in a fashion magazine which would attract attention.
Mineta gave a lustful look and believe that Kendo would appear in sexy pictorials and is hoping to see it soon, which Tenya Iida berated Mineta for having a perverted craving, telling him that Kendo deserves respect as a fellow UA student, which results in the two boys bickering.
"Mineta!"
"Whoa!"
"Show some shame!"
"Eh?"
"Kendo is a UA student who deserves respect!"
"Well…yeah…"
"Don't think and treat her like a sex object that you can satisfy your perverted cravings!"
"Uh…"
Uraraka became silent, as she realize that Kendo is with Midoriya, and felt uneasy about this, even though the two are under work study with pro hero Uwabami, and she wondered if Midroiya would be okay. Asui noticed her classmate and asked if she is okay, in which Uraraka said she is fine, saying that she is just wondering if Midroiya would be okay working under Uwabami, stating that she recall seeing Yaoyorozu and Kendo in a commercial with the pro hero several months ago during the internship, and felt that Midoriya might get disappointed if he were to end up like what Yaoyorozu and Kendo experienced.
Asui said that it may be unlikely given the current events and that Uwabami is probably going to do something to find the missing girls and clear her name, and she probably felt that hiring Midoriya to work study with her could be the deciding factor in solving this case, which Uraraka slowly see the logic in this matter.
"Really?"
"That's what I think, Ochako-san."
"Well…"
"I'm sure that Midoriya will be fine."
"Yeah…I guess you're right…"
"So don't think too much."
"Okay."
"Good."
-x-
An hour later, the scene shifts at Uwabami's agency office, where she showed Midoriya and Kendo the newspapers about the articles where the missing girls are reported, and the two teens read it, and then Uwabami showed the list of the female hero students who interned under her several months ago, and the two teens saw the names, which matched the list shown on the newspapers.
Midoriya realized that this is a serious case as the girls have not been found since then and Uwabami is being unjustly implicated due to the fact that she is the last person that the missing girls are seen with, and he began to wonder if he and Kendo are to go undercover, yet he is unsure where to start, and began mumbling and muttering on where to begin and search for any leads.
Uwabami is slightly taken aback at what Midoriya is doing, and Kendo sighed and said that this is one of his habits, yet she assured to him that Midoriya is one of the best students of Class 1-A.
"Really?"
"Yeah…"
"Is this kid…really like that…?"
"Sometimes…but that's part of his analytic way of analyzing things."
"Hmm…"
"Uwabami-sensei…?"
"That kid…what's his name again…?"
"Izuku Midoriya."
Uwabami rubbed her chin and glanced at Midoriya, seeing that he might be a help to her once she comes up with a way to look for leads that would help in finding the missing girls, and then glanced at Kendo, seeing that her cute and beauty-like appearance might come in handy, and now she is considering her options and see where to start and how to make the culprits come out of hiding.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, and while there isn't much action here, the comedy relief here make up for it, as Mineta and Iida argued over Midoriya's supposed situation and that they even argued over hoping that Kendo get to do a sexy pictorial…

Preview:
Midoriya and Kendo begin their work study under Uwabami, and soon they will go to Shibuya where some of the missing girls were last seen, and begin their undercover investigation on where the missing girls disappeared.
