Chapter 22:

The boy known as Cruz Bonifacio who was recently rescued from Carlitos sat inside and interrogation room. In front of him, was Naomasa Tsukauchi. "You're not feeling too uncomfortable, right, kid?" The detective asked in English.

Cruz shook his head. The detective smiled patiently while preparing himself to take some notes. "Well, you wouldn't mind if we ask you a few questions regardin-"

"Everything." Cruz suddenly said, surprising Tsukauchi. "Come again?"

"I'll tell you everything I know about him."

Cruz Bonifacio

Age: 7

Quirk: ?

Tsukauchi's Notes: Carlitos killed his parents and abducted him from his home. Cruz was forced to put up with the clown for two years before finally being liberated recently by the Midoriya Siblings. Why the Clown wanted him is unknown, as of now. Most working theory is that Carlitos wanted a successor for whatever reason. No real confirmation yet.

Riku Hinata's Progress...

Riku dodged another snake coming right towards her but she can't help but close her eyes.

"No, no. Keep your eyes on me, StarLight. Keep your eyes on me. Do not break eye contact or you will lose." The hero Uwabami told her intern as she launched another one of her snake hair at the Shiketsu student. "Remember, StarLight, keep an eye on your opponent at all times."

"Mhm."

"What do you mean by 'Mhm'?" She exclaimed while sending more venomous snakes from her hair at Riku, who continuously dodged and parried the snakes.

"Y-Yes, Ma'am."

"Better." Uwabami was glad to know that her intern is showing signs of improvement. Still, she's still curious of how someone could be that shy. "Has something happened to her back then?"

Murry and Rappa's Heist...

"Okay, so, we break in, I'll beat everyone up and you take the cash." Rappa told Murry as they watched the drug dealers from the opening on the roof. "Okay, but what about the-"

"ALRIGHT HEADS UP, ASSHOLES! YOUR MONEY BELONGS TO THE YAKUZA NOW!" Rappa did not give Murry any time to ask questions as he tore through the opening and began bringing punching hell upon the drug dealers. Murry sighed and went on to do his job of stealing the money. He opened the briefcase to reveal ten million yen. "Oh man, this much? Might as well by some apples with it on the way home."

"Hey, Murry, you got the money yet?"

"Yeah, why?" He didn't get a direct answer as Rappa ran past him. He turned around only to see the drug dealers injecting themselves with Trigger and transforming into monstrosities. "This is what I warned you about, man! You just jumped in without a plan!"

"Unlike you, I can just punch all of my problems away!"

"Your punching did not stop your ass from getting kicked by Overshit!"

"What did you say to me, punk? That's a lame-ass insult. Try harder!" Rappa told him while they were running away from the mutated dealers.

A Taste of Her Own Medicine...

"Who's tae fuckin' wankstain who installed this fucken' voice recognition lock on the door?" Trish exclaimed as she came across her biggest weakness: Voice Activation Locks. Apparently they thought it was a good idea to not add Scottish Accents on the recognizable English part of the voice activation. Trish was fuming while Mirko was laughing at her from the other side of the door. "Win ah git through this door, yer dead, ya lagamorphe twat!"

"HAHAHA, Yeah! I knew installing this thing would be a great idea someday!" The Rabbit Heroine stumbled from laughing too hard at her interning struggling to get inside the training room.

"Ah awready saw my wankstain git hurt real bad and ya put me through this shite?" It was really hard to speak Japanese while she's angry and even harder to keep her accent at bay. This is definitely not the best week in her life.

Ihr Kampf mit einer Seehund...

"Omg, that frog girl looks legit cute. We should get an internship from her like, ASAP, fam."

"Now, now, Ms. Illusions. You calm down, right there. We were sending an internship for her anyway." Sirius, the one teaching her stuff when Selkie wasn't around, told her while looking at Camie's phone. "Yeah, I heard she was one of Izubro's friends back at UA before he got kicked out."

"Kicked out for what?"

"Oh, he kicked someone's ass a little too much for my sake. But hey, he's attending Shiketsu now right on time. I'll be kicking his ass when this whole thing is over."

"Oh, right. Yeah, sorry for what happened to him. You had to hear all of that from our built-in radio." Sirius scratched her head apologetically but Camie waved it off. "Eh, we're like five kilometers off land. What can we do? Still, his ass getting the kicking from this fabulous bitch."

"All right you two, stop yer hollerin'! We got work to do." Selkie treated her less like an intern and more like an actual pro. At a very painful exchange.

"Let's do our best!" Selkie tried to look cute and it was her job to pretend that Selkie is cute. It's literally impossible due to his macho body. She'd tap that but Camie ain't no furry. Sirius, however, Camie glanced at her to see Sirius drooling momentarily before wiping her mouth. "Learning how to fight at sea is very cash money and all but omg this is soooo criiiiiinnngggeee!"

His Discovery...

"That…does not look straight." Seiji commented as he stared at an injured hero's arm. Recovery Girl gave him a disapproving glance before looking back at the patient. "YA THINK?! I swear, I got that guy in the bag but oh no, he pulled a wrench out of his body and slammed my arm with him! I caught him, but jeez this hurts a lot."

"I apologize. I am no expert when it comes to 'lightening up the mood'." Seiji bowed his head a little at the injured hero. He waved it off. "Hey, I get you. Rock Lock's my name. That whole inspiring others ain't really my thing though. Now, what's with Recovery Girl bringing a kid like you here?"

"To test his quirk, dearie." Recovery Girl gave Rock Lock the gist of it. The man listened well while giving the occasional glance at him. Seiji would be lying if he said that he wasn't nervous. She finished her explanation and Rock Lock sighed a little before looking at Seiji.

"I'm not sure about this, but I'll bite. Don't worry, this'll be the last time you'll be seeing me. Can't be too injured when the missus is pregnant. Don't screw this up." Rock Lock held up his injured arm with obvious struggle. Seiji remembered Recovery Girl's crash course lecture regarding the human body and imagine the arm being rearranged and fixing itself. When he opened his eyes after making contact with the hero's arm, he saw Rock Lock staring at his fixed arm in awe.

"And he can do all this without tiring himself out?" Rock Lock asked. Recovery Girl nodded proudly at her intern. Seiji stared at his own hands, shocked that he has never thought of this before. "I could have… I could have been…"

"Ha! You got a bright future ahead of ya, kid! Don't let what I said get to your head though." Rock Lock said while doing stretches with his arm. Seiji bowed at him, "Thank you, Rock Lock"

"I think the words you should be saying is 'Your Welcome, Rock Lock'. Anyway, I gotta split. I got more work to do."

"Ah, thank you again, Rock Lock."

"Jeez, kid. Don't thank me, I didn't do anything."

He still loud though...

"Your control is getting better but the civilians are not really gonna feel safe with how you're gonna lift them," Air Jet explained to his eternally loud intern, Gale Force. "Furthermore, I doubt that they would be able to stay calm if you were always loud. Try to be more gentle with your voice, and you'll do fine in rescue work."

He knew that his intern already had an expertise in using his quirk for combat, but he's yet to be able to focus on its uses on the rescuing aspect of a hero. That's where he comes in to give advice to Inasa. "I SEE! THANK YOU FOR THE ADVI-"

"Remember what we talked about, Gale Force, no need for a loud voice when it's not needed."

"Ah, yes, I APOlogize. Sorry."

"Well, you're getting there."

Chewbacca with Hair Control and a Tree...

"And that's another villain this week. Saw what I did their, Judge Samson?" Kamui said as he delivered the villain to the police, with his intern following behind him. "Yes, sir."

"People usually mistake me for a combat hero but I'm more of a Capture Specialist. I prefer restraining them quickly over having to fight them at all. Best way stop a fight is to restrain the ones who started it, after all. That also makes you free from dealing with any possible collateral damage if you were to fight them." Kamui tried to keep it short and simple but Nagamasa was still able to understand most of what the Hero said. "Since your quirk is similar to mine, would it be possible to replicate your signature move?"

"Well, yes but not completely. Lacquered Chain Prison takes advantage of the fact that my quirk is basically a tree. It branches off into multiple branches so that there would be no way an opponent could escape before they were overwhelmed. I can't say that your hair can't do the same but we can't have you getting split hairs, right?" Kamui chuckled at his own joke while Nagamasa gave him an amused stare. "Then might I request that we start working on my own version?"

"Sure thing, Judge Samson."

Clown just wants to be a Normal Clown...

"Aight, what y'all motherfuckers lookin' at?" The Grand Priest politely asked the people staring at Chifu. They looked away and the two continued on with their patrols. "C'mon, my motherfuckin' priest, I don't mind."

"Clearly ya do mind, motherfucker."

"Well, I'm not gonna go bitch-ass on them, ya know? It's not like I let their judging stares get to me. I'm-"

"Ahhh monster!" Chifu heard a group of kids yell. She looked at their direction and they let out a panicked sound before running away. She sighed, not feeling too great about that. "Oh c'mon, we're scarier than you, Chifu."

"Those motherfuckin' kids say otherwise, my Grand Motherfuckin' Priest." Chifu was feeling a lot more down than usual. She really wants people to smile since she IS a clown but all she ever does is scare people without meaning to. She felt like she could cry again.

"H-Hey, m-miss." She heard a voice. She looked all over the place until the Grand Priest pointed down. Chifu looked down to see a little girl, tugging at her hero suit. "Y-yeah, sweetie?" The gentle clown asked. The girl didn't say anything and only touched her hands, rubbing it.

"It's soft. And fluffy too." The girl said as she continued to rubbed Chifu's hand. "It's mostly hair and sh- stuff."

"Can I ride on your shoulders?"

"S-Sure!" Chifu would admit that she's being too excited but the kid seems happy when she lifted her up and let the kid sit on her shoulder. They started walking along the road while Chifu and the little girl sings some nursery rhymes. The Grand Priest couldn't be any prouder and happier for his apprentice and surrogate daughter.

A Wolf and A Rat's Game of Chess...

"I believe you know why I called you here, old friend. Check." Nezu said as he moved the queen. He was currently playing chess with Kenshi, his friend and technically intern. The wolf countered by moving the bishop in front of the king. "Frankly, I have a clue of why. This is regarding the attack on your school a few weeks ago, am I correct?"

Nedzu nodded while moving the rook beside Kenshi's bishop. Kenshi moved the king away. Nedzu withheld from using the queen to eat the bishop, knowing full well that it was a trap. "Not falling for it again, Nezu?"

"Not once have I ever did so, Kenshi."

"Back to business, judging from that creature, he's back?"

"Yes, only two men are capable of doing this. All For One, and Doctor Tsubasa also known as: Tamago Otoko. We both know what that Doctor did to us." Nezu said while smiling but there was no hiding the venom and anger in his voice. Kenshi growled in annoyance before calming himself down. "Ah yes, I hope he does not forget the gift I gave him as we escaped."

"Haha! I still remembered when you bit him in the gluteus maximus. What laugh we had before we went our separate ways. UA found me while you found yourself a mate. You must have two generations of descendants now, have you?"

"Yes, though they might not be quirked like me. I prefer it that way."

"True. It would be best if you sent a message to your superiors at the school that you are attending." Nezu moved his bishop near Kenshi's king. The wolf countered with a mere pawn. "What would that message be, friend?"

"That UA would like to collaborate with Shiketsu on a one-week training camp for only the first years. From what I have seen, your class, Class 1C, exhibited a far faster growth than our first years in this school. Perhaps my students could see you and your classmates as role models." Nezu proposed the idea to Kenshi. The wolf nodded, "I'll be sure to bring this message to my superiors but I can not guarantee a collaboration. I shall vouch for it though."

"Thank you, Kenshi. Also, checkmate." Nezu finally hatched his master plan upon Kenshi. The wolf failed to notice Nezu's pawn making it to the very end, making his friend gain another queen and trapping the wolf's king. The wolf gawked in shock before howling in laughter. "WAHAHAHAHA! Good game, I do say!"

"You were the only one that kept me on my paws, Kenshi."

"No need to be humble. Savour in your victory, friend! However, I do have to warn you of someone that could potentially outsmart you." Kenshi warned Nezu. The Principal of UA raised his eyebrow in genuine curiosity. "Who might that be?"

"I trust that you've heard of Izuku Midoriya?"

"All Might's successor. When have you figured it out?"

"He's bad at lying when it came to his quirk. That and the subtle way I saw him admire All Might. The boy has potential to outsmart you, in his own way."

"What method might that be?"

"He is never predictable. In combat, his plans fluctuate so often that you can never tell which is part of it and which is improvised. This is just him in his first year. To think he learned all of this from his best friend as well and then improving it!" Kenshi boasted at Nezu, who chuckled in excitement. "Sadness flows through me when he already wanted to go for Shiketsu instead of UA. Well, what's done is done. We just need to adjust to it."

"Easier said than done, but where's the fun in easy methods?"

The Siblings...

"You already learned most of what I can do since you watched me fight on TV and I pretty much lectured you about everything this job does." Tatsumaki listed off her to-do list during her brother's internship. If she's being honest, she just wants someone to work with from time to time. Those times with Hawks were totally a coincidence and nothing else.

"Pretty much. It's the end of the week. I'll be going with Auntie Ryuko next week." Izuku said while sipping a drink from his coffee. They were hanging out on the rooftop, on the lookout for trouble but they were mostly resting right now. Izuku made a full-recovery thanks to a surprise visit from Recovery Girl and Seiji. Izuku was delighted when he saw a new development in Seiji's quirk and offered his help and some ideas for his classmate. Seiji politely declined and opted to find out more for himself before asking Izuku for advice. Now that made him proud.

"It's been one hell of a week, so promise me this. Don't you dare do anything stupid next week." He turned around to see his sister's eyes glowing light green threateningly. Camie always told him that Tasumaki, his, and Fubuki's eyes glow when they were using their quirk or when they were trying to scare someone. He hasn't seen her this angry since that one time she called Best Jeanist a 'Holier-than-thou sack of liquid cow shit laced with animal STD's', whatever that meant. Case in point, he got the message.

Burst Damage is a Great Name...

"Reaching Infinity: Uravity" Ochaco held the board with her hero name on it. It instantly got Midnight's approval.

"Alright, all we have left is…Bakugou's hero name." The heroine announced in a very down manner. Bakugou scoffed for a millisecond before staring at the hero name he wrote. "She's so bad with thinking of names."

Bakugou thought back on the time him, Ibara, Yosetsu and Mineta hung out during the two-day break in the Botany Club greenhouse at UA. "I'm telling you, Shiozaki, Vine is not a great name. It's so generic." Yosetsu complained about Ibara's planned hero name. Mineta was nodding along with him.

"Of course, because Welder is a great hero name as well." Bakugou was not sure whether Ibara is trying to get under Yosetsu's skin or is being genuine. Maybe both. Either way, he's not having this. He got plants to water. "Both of you shut the fuck up and who the fuck invited the Welder guy?"

"I did." Mineta raised his hand, not really fearing Bakugou, much to the latter's annoyance. It's still something he can respect though. "Yeah, well, whatever. Just shut up."

"Ara ara~ Has Bakugou mellowed out a bit?"

"DON'T YOU DARE USE ARA ARA ON ME WHEN YOU GOT A SHITTY HERO NAME!" Bakugou snapped back but Ibara was unfazed of his outburst. "Well, it certainly is better than 'King Explosion Murder'."

"FUCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT THAT? YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S MAKE A BET! I GIVE YOU A BETTER NAME AND YOU GIVE ME A HERO NAME!"

"Is that even a bet?" Mineta and Yosetsu thought while deadpanning at them. "Bet."

"SHE AGREED TO IT?!"

"Fine, I'll go first. Your fucking hero name is: Dolorosa!"

"T-That's actually…!"

"THAT SOUNDS GREAT!" Ibara exclaimed happily, while her eyes sparkles and a shining, heavenly light appears behind her back. Bakugou looked away, a slight tinge of pink barely noticeable on his face as he kept his scowl. "Fine! Your hero name would be The Bombing King: Burst Damage!"

Mineta and Yosetsu sighed in disappointment when their friends had better hero names than them.

Bakugou showed his board to the class, not really caring how they would react.

"Not gonna lie, that's actually pretty good." One of his classmates admitted, making him smirk a little inside. "Tch, all that's left now is choosing a goddamn internship.

Omake

"So uh, what's my fortune?" Mineta did not know why he visited a Fortune Teller right now but here he is, during his two day break. "Fortune? Bitch you gon die for the greater good."

"Shit."

Seriously though, we really should be giving Mineta a little bit of a break. Hopefully he grows out of his creepy pervertedness in CANON and be more of a typical teenage pervert.

Bakugou: Preferable and less likely to annoy me. That and he mans the fuck up a little bit.

True. Anyway, like, subscribe, and leave a comment. PEACE!
