After making his decision to join Crawler's agency, Ace wasted no time in preparing for his new journey. He packed his belongings, ensuring he had everything he might need for his internship. His room, adorned with the spade jolly roger flag and other pirate memorabilia, felt like a part of his past life he was taking with him into the hero world.

Ace's excitement was palpable as he thought about the adventures and experiences that awaited him at the agency. He couldn't help but feel a sense of determination to make the most of this opportunity. Ace knew that joining Crawler and his team was a chance to learn, grow, and make a real difference in the lives of the people he would protect.

As he made his way to the agency's location, Ace couldn't help but think about the hero he was about to work with, Crawler. He had read about Koichi Haimawari's journey from being a vigilante to becoming a certified hero. It was a story of redemption and transformation that had resonated with Ace.

Upon arriving at the agency, Ace was greeted by the hero who had once gone by the name "Nice Guy." Koichi Haimawari, with his friendly smile and unassuming demeanor, was a far cry from the typical image of a hero. Yet, Ace had learned that heroism came in many forms, and Koichi's dedication to doing the right thing had earned him respect.

"Hey there!" Koichi greeted Ace warmly. "You must be the new recruit, Ace, right? It's great to have you on board. I'm Koichi Haimawari, but you can call me Crawler."

Ace shook Koichi's hand with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you, Crawler. I've heard a lot about your journey as a hero, and I'm looking forward to learning from you."

Koichi chuckled modestly. "Well, I'm still learning every day, too. But I believe in doing whatever I can to help the people in this city. That's what being a hero is all about."

Ace admired Koichi's humility and sincerity. He could tell that working alongside Crawler would be a unique and rewarding experience.

Inside the agency, Ace was introduced to the other members of Crawler's team. One of them, Knuckleduster, immediately caught Ace's attention. With his gruff demeanor, scarred face, and imposing presence, Knuckleduster was a stark contrast to Koichi.

Ace couldn't help but be intrigued by this enigmatic hero. He had heard stories about Knuckleduster's unorthodox methods and relentless pursuit of justice. It was clear that the team had a diverse range of talents and personalities.

As the days went by, Ace settled into his new role as Crawler's part-time sidekick. He was eager to learn and took every opportunity to train and work alongside the team. Whether it was patrolling the city's streets, responding to emergencies, or helping with community outreach programs, Ace embraced each experience with enthusiasm.

One day, while on patrol with Koichi and Knuckleduster, Ace had the chance to witness their heroics firsthand. They received a call about a group of small-time villains causing trouble in a local neighborhood. As they arrived at the scene, Ace watched as Koichi engaged in a conversation with the frightened residents, offering reassurance and support.

Knuckleduster, on the other hand, wasted no time confronting the villains. His fighting style was raw and relentless, a stark reminder of the dangers that lurked in the hero world. Ace was impressed by the team's ability to balance compassion with unwavering resolve.

As the situation was resolved and the villains were apprehended, Ace couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and fulfillment. He was part of a team that made a real difference in the lives of ordinary citizens, just as he had hoped.

Over time, Ace formed a close bond with both Koichi and Knuckleduster. Despite their differences in personality and approach, they shared a common goal: to protect the city and its people. Ace admired their dedication and saw in them the kind of heroes he aspired to become.

As he continued his internship at Crawler's agency, Ace knew that he was on the right path. The experiences he gained and the lessons he learned would shape him into a hero who could make a meaningful impact in the hero world. And as he patrolled the city's streets alongside Crawler and Knuckleduster, Ace felt a sense of purpose and belonging that reassured him he had made the right choice.

Ace's time at Crawler's agency was filled with valuable experiences and opportunities to grow as a hero. He had learned to appreciate the dynamics of being part of a team, working alongside Koichi Haimawari, also known as Crawler, and the enigmatic Knuckleduster. Their diverse approaches to heroism had broadened Ace's perspective, allowing him to develop a well-rounded understanding of what it meant to be a hero.

One day, while patrolling the bustling streets of the city with Koichi and Knuckleduster, Ace spotted familiar faces from Class 1-B, Itsuka Kendo, and Momo Yaoyorozu. They were interning with the glamorous hero Uwabami, known for her celebrity status and fashion-forward approach to hero work.

Ace couldn't help but smile as he approached the two young heroines. He had seen them in action during the sports festival and respected their abilities. It was interesting to see how they were progressing in their hero journeys.

"Hey, Itsuka, Momo!" Ace called out with a friendly wave. "Looks like we're all working hard to become great heroes, huh?"

Itsuka greeted Ace with a warm smile. "Ace! It's good to see you. Yeah, we're interning with Uwabami. She's been teaching us a lot about the entertainment side of hero work."

Momo nodded in agreement. "It's been a unique experience, to say the least. Uwabami-san has a knack for combining heroics with fashion and style."

Ace chuckled. "That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure you're both learning a ton. I've been interning with Crawler and Knuckleduster. They have a more hands-on approach to heroism, but I've learned a lot about the grittier side of the job."

Itsuka's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Crawler and Knuckleduster, huh? They're known for their dedication to protecting the city, right?"

Ace nodded. "Yeah, they focus on grassroots heroism and making a direct impact on the community. It's been eye-opening, to say the least."

Momo chimed in, "It's great that we have the opportunity to intern with different heroes and learn from their perspectives. We'll become more well-rounded heroes because of it."

Ace couldn't agree more. "Absolutely. It's all about growing and adapting to different situations. Who knows what kind of heroes we'll become by the end of our internships?"

As they continued to chat and share their internship experiences, Ace felt a sense of camaraderie with Itsuka and Momo. They were all on their individual hero journeys, each taking a unique path to achieve their goals. It was a reminder that the hero world was vast and diverse, offering countless opportunities for growth and discovery.

With a shared determination to become the best heroes they could be, Ace, Itsuka, and Momo continued their respective internships, knowing that the experiences they gained would shape them into the heroes they aspired to be.

Ace's time with the Crawler agency had been filled with valuable lessons and experiences that would stay with him throughout his hero journey. As he prepared to bid farewell to Koichi Haimawari, Knuckleduster, and the rest of the agency, he felt a deep sense of gratitude for the knowledge and skills he had gained.

During his time with the agency, Ace had observed Koichi's unique ability to slide and glide across the cityscape, using the soles of his shoes to navigate urban terrain. The creative and acrobatic way Koichi moved through the city had sparked Ace's imagination. He had begun to experiment with using his fire to propel himself forward in unique ways, exploring new possibilities for mobility and agility.

As he stood among his mentors and allies, Ace couldn't help but smile. "I want to thank you all for everything you've taught me," he said sincerely. "Working with Crawler and Knuckleduster has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be a hero. I promise to carry these lessons with me and continue to grow."

Koichi, ever the optimistic and cheerful hero, grinned at Ace. "You've been a great addition to the team, Ace. Don't forget to visit us whenever you can. We'll always be here to share hero stories and tips."

Knuckleduster, though gruff and mysterious, nodded in agreement. "You've got potential, kid. Keep honing your skills, and never forget the importance of protecting this city."

Ace exchanged farewells and well-wishes with the agency members, feeling a sense of camaraderie and respect for the heroes who had welcomed him into their world. He knew that this was just one chapter in his hero journey, and he was eager to see where his path would lead next.

Returning to his dorm at U.A. High School, Ace reflected on the experiences and knowledge he had gained during his time with the Crawler agency. He was determined to put his newfound skills to good use and continue growing as a hero. With a renewed sense of purpose, he looked forward to the challenges and adventures that awaited him in the hero world.
