Chapter 42: Shadows of Potential

The journey to Edgeshot's agency marked the beginning of Kaito's internship—a venture into the shadows where precision and agility would become his guiding principles. As he arrived at the agency, Kaito was met with an atmosphere of quiet efficiency and unwavering focus.

Edgeshot, the hero known for his mastery of stealth and precision, welcomed Kaito into the agency with a nod. "Welcome, Union. Aizawa informed me about your unique quirk. Let's get started. What quirks do you bring to the table?"

Kaito, standing in the hero agency's sleek and modern headquarters, began to list the quirks at his disposal. "I have Union, which allows me to permanently copy quirks after holding them for around a month. Union's stockpile stores power that enhances my physical capabilities. Chart lets me create holographic pages for tracking and detection. Cyclone Burst generates gusts of wind. Adaptation strengthens my body against harsh conditions. Hardening provides enhanced durability. And Shock Absorption helps me absorb and nullify kinetic energy."

Edgeshot listened attentively, acknowledging the unique capabilities that Union brought to the internship. The shadows seemed to whisper promises of potential, eager to see how Union would weave its abilities into the fabric of heroism under Edgeshot's guidance.

"Interesting combination," Edgeshot remarked, his gaze steady. "Aizawa mentioned your ability to copy quirks. We'll focus on enhancing your stealth and precision. Let's start with some basic exercises to gauge your current skill level. Show me what you've got, Union."

The internship unfolded as Kaito delved into the world of stealth, precision, and the art of being unseen. The shadows that enveloped Edgeshot's agency became the canvas upon which Union would paint the next strokes of its evolution. As the weeks unfolded, Kaito's quirks would dance in the shadows, adapting and refining, under the guidance of Edgeshot—the hero who excelled in the delicate dance between heroism and the art of the unseen.
