N1cok: No need to apologize, man. Your review and suggestions are enough. Also, thanks for the follow despite the terrible grammar. You're amazing, man.
TwinstarDragon: Thanks, man. And your wish is my command. (uwu)
mrstardust89: Thank you. Again, apologize for the rough grammar. (TwT)
Neitanael: Sorry, bro. But, grammar is the reason why I need beta 'readers'.
Author's Note: Okay, so another update. I have one thing I overlook when it comes to looking for beta readers. I almost add new chapters every day, and I doubt any beta readers have so much time to do one chapter every day. So yeah, no beta readers anytime soon and you gotta deal with more bad grammar. Sorry, everyone.
Update: If you're wondering where's the next chapter, it's the one before this by the way. Basically, a prequel chapter before the new arc starts.
UEIS HQ
???, Japan
"I still can't get used to this." Izuku looks at Eijirou holding his new tail with a look of disbelief. He's now putting on the formal clothes Gang Orca gave him, consisting of a white dress shirt, red necktie, maroon suit jacket with matching trousers, and a pair of leather shoes.
"Trust me, it's not that weird," Izuku said as he adjusted his tie. He's also switched his clothes to a formal attire provided by Gang Orca, a black dress shirt, red necktie, emerald forest dress shirt with matching trousers, and a pair of leather shoes. "How Gang Orca manages to give us attire that matches our color and size is beyond me."
"Bro, I grow a tail! And if what Sir Orca said is true, I can turn into a werelion!!" Eijirou said in disbelief as Izuku deadpanned on him.
"How about if your entire point of view turns into an RPG character?" Izuku asked as Eijirou blue-screened.
"H-huh?" Izuku simply walks away, refusing to elaborate further. "What do you mean by that, bro!? Come on, don't leave me out in the dark here, man!"
"Come on, we're late," Izuku said as Eijirou groaned.
"Why do you have to act so mysterious?" Izuku smiles in amusement as they all walk towards the meeting location Gang Orca has set up. After the whole fiasco, Eijirou seems to no longer be nervous around him and much more relaxed than before. The sign of desperation in his eyes has disappeared and he's much brighter than usual.
Izuku didn't know why, but every time Eijirou smiled or was happy, the entire room lit up, like there was a huge star in the room. Izuku had to cover his eyes every time he did so.
"So, what are your plans now?" Izuku asked as Eijirou huffed before smiling.
"Well, I always wanted to be a hero like my idol, Crimson Riot." This took Izuku by surprise. Crimson Riot is not a low-ranked hero and he's quite popular, but compared to the top 10 heroes, he's no match for them. To hear someone idolize them is quite surprising.
"And why do you idolize him?" Izuku asked as Eijirou grinned.
"He's the manliest hero ever! He isn't ashamed to admit his fear but he refuses to let it take over him! I want to be a hero like him! A man who protects others and overcomes their fears in any situation!" Izuku smiles, glad to see heroes were idolized for the right reason.
"You're a good guy, Kirishima. Never change." Izuku said as Eijirou pouted.
"Come on, you gotta stop acting like that," Eijirou said as Izuku gave him an amused smile.
"Act like what?" Izuku asked as Eijirou deadpanned.
"You did it on purpose, did you?" Izuku simply smiled. "Damn it, Midori-bro!"
"Midori-bro?" Izuku raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah, my nickname for you! Midori-bro!" Izuku sweatdrops at his choice.
"Call me Izuku instead." Izuku said as Eijirou grins.
"Then call me Eijirou, Izu-bro!" Izuku shakes his head while smiling. After a while, they finally arrive at the office. Izuku reaches the door and knocks it. The boys heard a muffled 'come in' and they opened the door. They both blinked when they saw who was in the meeting room.
At the center is Gang Orca himself. On his left side is a white-haired, dark-skinned woman with a pair of red eyes, rabbit ears, and legs. She wears a sleeveless white leotard with a yellow crescent moon at the chest area.
On his right side is a man with gray hair and a pair of grey eyes. He wore a blue mask with red shinobi shozoku, a blue robe, red straps attached to his belt, a red scarf with a white patch attached on its front, a pair of blue socks, and yellow zori sandals. Izuku can't help but question his hairstyle, wondering if it's even comfortable.
Then, there's a man with black and white hair. He wore a black mask over his eyes, a green hooded cape, and a black shirt. He has a layer of crust at the back of his hand.
Then, the biggest surprise is a large figure resembling a lizard with dark grey scales, a pair of red eyes, white/light grey dorsal fins on his back, a long and thick tail, sharp claws, and toes. He wore a high-collared white coat and a pair of white baggy pants, each consisting of red flame patterns, specifically on the collar and the lower portion of the pants. Izuku can see the band of spikes on his toes and silver-plated knee pads.
"Mirko, Edgeshot, Crust, Godzillo?" Izuku mutters in surprise, calling their name in respective orders. Said heroes all looking at Izuku and Eijirou. Both boys try so hard not to fanboy as Mirko raises her eyebrow.
"Oi, who brought kids here?" Mirko asked as Izuku frowned. He forgets how Mirko reminds him so much of Bakugou and he doesn't like it a bit.
"Everyone, I would like to introduce you to our interns." Gang Orca said, surprising the fellow heroes.
"...you didn't tell them, sir?" Izuku asks with a raised eyebrow.
"I want them to see it themselves." Gang Orca said as Crust frowns.
"Gang Orca, why did you bring the kids here? This isn't a problem they should get involved in." Crust said as Izuku felt annoyed. He knows Crust said those words out of worry, but he didn't like his choice of words.
"What made you decide to bring them here?" Godzillo asked. Gang Orca looked at Izuku and nodded.
"Because Eijirou and I have survived the dungeon," Izuku said as they looked at them in surprise.
"Yeah, right," Mirko mutters as Izuku glares at the rabbit hero. The more she talks, the more he hates her. "Got a problem, little shit?"
"..." Izuku looks at Gang Orca in confused rage. "Who brought their pet bunny here?" Izuku asked while pointing at her. Silence took over the office as the heroes widened their eyes in horror. Mirko's eyes are covered by her hair before she raises her head, showing her glowing red eyes.
Izuku's senses and reflexes force Izuku to move, raising his hand to block an incoming kick as he got launched backward, crashing through a wall. Izuku turns and widens his eyes as he slowly falls into a huge arena below. He uses everything he has to land safely, creating a huge cloud of dust.
"You're quite cocky, brat. Time to teach you a lesson." Mirko, yellow lightning covering her body, landed gracefully as Izuku felt his rage bubbling up. Those words remind him too much of Bakugou and she's already on his hate list.
"How a bitch like you can be a hero is beyond me," Izuku said as he pulls out [Balmung] and uses [Fireball] in it, igniting the blade as Mirko whistled.
"Cute trick." Izuku rushes towards her as he prepares to swing down his sword. She manages to dodge the incoming sword and to her surprise, the ground shatters upon impact. Izuku manages to surprise her as he quickly changes his stance and swings his sword to her side, but she still easily ducks before kicking him, knocking him back a few feet.
"Huh, you're sturdier than I thought. A good punching bag." Izuku glares at her as she disappears in a flash. Izuku raises his blade to block an incoming kick, which causes him to stumble. She didn't let him recover as she continued to unleash an onslaught, kicking him over and over again. Izuku grunts as he barely blocks her kicks, each one of them causes notifications to pop up nonstop.

"Sir, you gotta stop them!" Eijirou yelled while holding Gang Orca by his shirt. He was about to do so but Godzillo stops him.
"Wait," Godzillo said. "I don't think it's a good idea."
"Why?" Gang Orca doesn't understand. Godzillo is always there to stop Mirko from unnecessary fights, so why is he not doing it and even stopping others from doing so?
"...let that boy release his anger." He refuses to elaborate as he watches Izuku continue to barely block Mirko's kick
Izuku is slowly getting annoyed as Mirko tauntingly grins at him while unleashing a flurry of kicks nonstop. Izuku flinches when the lightning shocks him and temporarily paralyzes the nerves of his left hand. This allows Mirko to land a blow on him, knocking him back.
"Is that all you can do, brat? I expect more, then again, I shouldn't get my hopes up against a brat!" Izuku had enough of her taunts. As she went for another kick Izuku used his enhanced strength to parry an incoming kick while ignoring the shocks from her electricity. It was a mistake as she managed to recover quickly and slammed her heel into Izuku's head, crushing him into the ground. Izuku felt the pressure on his back, unable to get up.
"You brat should know your fucking place." Izuku snaps at that word, ignoring the pain on his body and grabs her leg. "Huh?" Izuku didn't care anymore, he squeeze the leg with all his might, causing a crunching noise, then pulled the leg, turned around, and punched her in a place people never expect a man to ever do. Right at her vulva.
She howls in pain and falls to the ground as everyone winces at the scene. Izuku, in the state of his rage, grabs [Balmung] and is about to kill her if not for Godzillo grabbing his hand. Izuku widened his eyes before he snapped out of his rage. He looks horrified and drops [Balmung] out of shock and horror.
"That's enough." Izuku didn't protest as he nodded.
"I-I...I almost killed her...I almost kill...again..." Izuku mutters as Eijirou runs towards him, he looks worried for his new friend.
"Izu-bro," Eijirou was surprised when a tear escaped his eyes, so he decided to pull him into a hug. Everyone watches the scene, either worried, confused, or wondering what caused him to go for a kill.
"..." Gang Orca frowns, not expecting the first meeting to go so badly. He never expects Izuku to act like that. Sure, Mirko was rude, but he acts like she reminds him of someone.
He needs to figure this out to help him or he'll end up getting others and himself killed.
