Chapter 40: Decision of the Shadows

The prospect of internships loomed over Class 1-A, casting a cloak of excitement and trepidation. As the heroes-in-training faced the decision of choosing a pro hero to intern with, Kaito found himself in the throes of a challenging decision.

The list of available heroes for internships sprawled before him, each name carrying the weight of reputation, experience, and unique expertise. Kaito pondered over the options, considering the different facets of heroism he could explore.

Edgeshot, a hero known for his unparalleled skill in stealth and precision, stood out to Kaito. The idea of learning under the shadow of a hero who operated in the subtle dance between shadows and heroism intrigued him. Edgeshot's ability to navigate the unseen and strike with unparalleled precision resonated with Kaito's own journey of unlocking the potential within Union.

However, the decision weighed heavy on Kaito's shoulders. Other heroes offered diverse experiences—from those who excelled in rescue operations to those renowned for their strategic prowess in battle. Each choice held the promise of growth and learning, and the list presented a daunting array of possibilities.

Kaito found himself torn between the allure of mastering stealth and precision under Edgeshot's tutelage and the temptation of exploring other facets of heroism offered by different pro heroes. The shadows of indecision danced in his thoughts as he considered the impact of this decision on his journey to becoming a hero.

In the end, after much contemplation and internal debate, Kaito marked Edgeshot's name on his internship form. The decision, while tough, felt like a step towards honing the subtleties of heroism—a path where precision, agility, and the mastery of shadows would become his guiding principles.

As he submitted the form, Kaito couldn't shake the sense of anticipation and uncertainty that lingered in the air. The shadows of the future beckoned, and the decision to intern with Edgeshot marked a pivotal moment in his hero-in-training journey.

The week leading up to the internship promised a blend of excitement and nerves as Kaito prepared to immerse himself in the world of pro heroes. The shadows that had influenced his decision now became a canvas upon which he would paint the next strokes of his heroic narrative.
