Actual Authors Note: No banter this time, and this is the longest one yet that I've ever written and so early on lol, as this will be nearing the end of the introductory phase and start slightly sapping the MHA Timeline. For now, them mercs are gonna show UA what Team Fortress can do.
To be honest for what I've written so far there's little humor, and it's kinda ironic with the Humor tag here, as I write comedic stuff when it's appropriate and goes naturally like how some conversations go, I don't wanna shove it in where humor don't really fit in.
Chapter 4: Ring of Hired!
Location Musutafu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
RED Team's Apartment
Before they went to bed, the Engineer had told the tasks are and who should do the tasks. First, someone needs to get groceries and needs two people to accomplish this mission, Engie assigned Heavy and Spy to go out to get some groceries. Second, they already had a fridge provided as well as a television and a water dispenser, all they need now is to get the modern tech this world had. Someone needs to get out and procure the following, an Internet Provider, 4 smartphones for each, 4 laptops, and parts for the two-way translators, naturally Engie tasked himself for this mission. Lastly, someone had to hold the fort while the other 3 go out for errands and Medic was assigned, for a reason, he's Medic that's the reason. They all got their tasks for tomorrow and they went to their rooms to rest for the day.
Engie didn't tell to the rest of the team that they're not in their earth, as everyone was tired and revealing such information may be too much to process for now...
The next day...
The team got up and get ready for the morning, everyone was in the kitchen eating their breakfast.
"Alright fellas, I've made the blueprint for our translators, all I need to do is get them parts and people won't have to deal with our accents!"
"Und why shouldn't I go with you herr Engineer?"
" You already know that Doc."
" Booo!"
"C'mon doc, we're killer of men and out of everyone in this room, you're not just a killer you are also a lunatic!"
.
"But i feel bad for ya, so screw it you're coming with me!
"YES!
Spy left the kitchen with his breakfast and turned on the television.

"Speaking of which, there are rumors going around that he'll be teaching at U.A!"
"Oh really? That's intriguing! As All-Might is an Alumni at U.A!"

Spy switched channels as he knew it was gonna go to pointless talking with no valuable information to be taken, though it would be still useful if the rumors are true.

"-ero Killer has claimed his 15th victim and is now hospitalized and in critical condition. The Villain: Hero Killer was a student that voiced his concerns in the hero society but when his words fell into deaf ears, he took matters into his own hands by killing heroes for his voice to be heard."
"Hero Killer... interesting..."
"Da, very dangerous man if he was able to kill and not get caught yet."
"Indeed, we must be cautious for when we associate ourselves to these heroes"
"Y'all ready?"
"Yes!"
Heavy nods
"Alright let's head on out! I'll get em phones and laptops and an internet, while y'all get some groceries."
"Ahem. Shall we?"
"Jä! LOS LOS!"
The three mercs head on out to the city again to get some stuff.
Later that evening...
Engie and Medic, they were really tired but they got home safe and sound. With them, bags with laptops and cellphones in them as well as their receipt and date for when they'll get their Internet along with their SIM Cards
"Phew, that was tirin!"
"Argh... did we really have to walk?"
"Yeah! It's all walking distance!"
"Walking distance? ZHE STORE WAS AT ZHE OTHER SIDE OF ZHE TOWN! WHY DIDN'T WE USE THE TRAINS OR EVEN CALL A CAB?"
Engie just smirked "Now you don't look like a happy camper..."
"Schweinhund."
Engie chuckled, "That reminds me where the hell is Heavy and Spy? Groceries shouldn't really take that long."
"You're right, where zhe hell are they? We got here first than them!"
"If we had bought these smartphones earlier and gave it to them we may be able to call em!"
"Speaking of which, zhese phones are really tiny! Back home we zhey were all much larger and can only call people!"
"These babies here, can do much more! It's a basic calculator, can surf the web, a dang compass, take notes, a lil TV, an alarm clock, and so much more! And it's all in this top of the line Iphones!"
"I may actually start liking it here!"
"Me too part-"
SLAM!
Heavy busted open the door and Spy was along with him, they have the groceries in their hands, yet they looked exhausted and looked it they were in a fight, though they weren't harmed at all.
"We are back."
"Now they actually don't look like happy campers." Engie snickered
"Heavy has groceries" Heavy put the groceries in the fridge
"What in the Sam Hill happened?"
"Check News"

"Brawl at the Mall! Two Villains are in critical condition after they themselves became the victims! Pro Hero Miruko got a call of villain activity in the area only to be beaten by alleged vigilantes who have already done her work! "Hehehehe, I like these vigilantes' style! Quite the work they've done , right after my own heart!". This one is badly beaten up with fractures everywhere and to rub salt on his wound he was twisted up into a pretzel! "PLEASE UNPRETZEL ME! IT HURTS!" He's now being sent to the hospital to get 'unpretzel'd. Meanwhile his other friend wasn't so lucky, the perp was stabbed 28 times and looked like he was fillet'd! Talk about being turned into swiss cheese and skinned alive! And somehow he's still alive! "GET ME TO JAIL BRO GET ME OUT OF THESE STREETS MAN! I'LL REFORM MAN!" When asked who did this to them, they refused to talk about who ever did that to them. It also doesn't help that the CCTV cameras got disabled when the villains started to rob the store, whether it was alleged vigilantes or a very violent upstanding citizen, the store owner thanks them wherever they are, thankfully nobody was hurt except for the villains."

"Complications Engineer, Complications." *
"Alrighty then! Everyone get up on here and gather 'round! I'll give y'all your phones." Engie decided it's a good time to drop the bomb. "But before I could give it to ya, I have a one helluva bombshell to drop on y'all."
Everyone was the edge if their seats. 'Are we trapped here forever? '' Even more surprise? Great.' 'We're in an another world ain't it Engineer. 'I want a supersdove. Gasp! Animals have superpowers too?' 'Sandvich' was the one of many thoughts of the mercs.
Engie removed his hat and goggles, the team was perplexed he doesn't take off his goggles the only time he did is when he visited Scout 7 years later just for a photo. If he took off his goggles then it's something serious.
"Fellas, we are not just in the future..." All of them looked at Engie instensely "We are in a different earth." The three widened their eyes in shock! "I know it's a big revelation, I was surfin the web and searched for Mann Co, RED, BLU, Frontier Engineering, Gray Gravel Co, Zephenniah Mann, all of it and nothing that we know of exists here! Hell I don't know if WE even existed as well as our families and friends. But have no fear, we can find a way out, y'all got me and Medic we can use our noggin's to modify our teleporter, but in the mean time we gotta stay here for now, we got money, we got each other, and we have all of our guns, but til then let's not get in trouble with the law and try to be normal civilians and get along with super-folks around us. Which is why we should thank Heavy for finding us jobs that we can do and keep low."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"Well look at us, we don't know jack shit and great thing for this internet thing and we learned more a bit more and I just wanted all us to take it all in slowly and not hit y'all with a Nuke so soon."
The Team processed the new information laid out to them, as they just digested the information that was laid down to them yesterday. Now for this bombshell.
"Heavy is concerned but Heavy know we can pull through!"
"Yes! We are not most men, we were MERCENARIES! Compared to these people, they had never been in a war nor they have our resources! Time doesn't wait for those who lay around idling. As for our family and friends, I am sure that they are trying to find a way to get us home too!"
The Team cheered and they are in high spirits! Even if they are trapped in a different earth, they will have to use their wits and skills that they have hone and perfected during their time in the Badlands. For they are not most men, they were MERCENARIES!
"So, Engineer, where are these phones?"
"They're right over here!" Engie grabbed the bag with smartphones with the SIM Cards installed and distributed it to the Team
Heavy inspects his phone "So this is phone of other world? Is so tiny!"
"Jä! Me and herr Engineer were surprised as well! Tiny yet can do so many!"
"What can this device do?"
"Well, it can-"
10 Minutes Later
"-and all of that is just built in them smartphones! We can get more functions by downloading more applications! So here it is fellas!" Engie gave them the phones. "Oh let's log on to our accounts to see if our applications got accepted."
"Heavy like this." Heavy's hand was so large that the phone looked like a chocolate bar for him and due to large fingers, Heavy was blocking his view of the screen, so he had to use the tip of his pink finger just to see the screen and be able to tap properly.
Medic was going through the appstore looking for apps that interests him he's at the Health section. "Hmmm, look at all zhese apps! Zhere is even an app zhat gives details of zhe human anatomy!" But then something caught his eye, The "Find Doves Near Me", he installed it without hesitation.
Spy was exploring his phone's default apps and found the name smartphone quite perfectly! As it does a lot and it's just on one tiny device!
DoDoDoot!
"What was noise?"
"Zat would be the notification sound!"
"Weird noise."
"I see" Spy looked at the notification, and it was his job application... THEY GOT ACCEPTED! "Gentlemen! Look at your emails! I have received my application and they accepted it."
The rest looked at their phones and they all got accepted!
"Hey guys! We all got accepted! The principal will interview us and also it says we're gonna get interviewed at the same time at 12:30 PM. Odd."
"Do we have a plan?"
"For what? We're just going to an interview with zhe head of the school. It's not like Robots will attack us again and from what Engineer told me this world's technology stagnated in the 21st Century and zhere is no Australium here anyway."
"So we're winging it?"
"Yeah!"
"So we should use our actual names once we get in right?"
"I'm Dell Conagher, Your Herbert Ludwig, Your Mikhail.." He then points at Spy "Funny, after all these years, we never knew or even bothered asking you your name..."
Spy laughed lightly "I'm Henri. Henri Le Roux"
The next day...
In the morning they got ready for the interview. Last night Engie had got the parts need for the translators and finished making them, it would really help them and other strangers to understand them. They all wore a classy business attire to present themselves well. "Finishing touches and here...we...go! Alright take one and put em on your heads like those headsets." Everyone puts their translators. "There we go! Everyone can understand us even if we're speaking in English ,and we can understand them now even if they talk in Japanese!", The translator was designed after Scout's Headphones, but thanks to the modern tech of this world, there was a mask that can translate English to Japanese, the headphone had a microphone ready to record, simultaneously translate the words and an audio of the translated words will be related in an instant!
"Инженер – это заслуга команды" ('Engineer is credit to Team!')
"Hey! Dieses Gerät hat funktioniert! Ich kann Heavy verstehen!" ('Hey! This device worked! I can understand Heavy!')
"Oui! Nous pouvons maintenant parler dans notre langue maternelle !" ('Yes! We can talk in our native tongue now!')
"Indeed fellas! I can understand y'all now!"
"Zhis is amazing herr Dell!"
"Indeed Herbert!"
"Now let's get to UA!"
"Und, we are getting a cab zhis time now ja? Or even a train?"
"Right you are pardner!" Engie pulls out the Maps app and points at the station they'll be going to. "Though we are gonna take the train it's much faster, but we have to actually walk to there after the train ride and this time it's actually walking distance."
"Heavy dreamed of riding Japanese train. Would like to see if Japanese train better."
"Well what are we waitin' for? Let's move our gears up!"
"Shall we?"
"EEEEEEYAAAAAAAA!"
"Mach schnell!" ('Hurry Up!')
They got out of the apartment and they on their way to UA.
You are on your way to... UA High School
Engie looked at the screen, they are on their way to the school. Riding the trains of a foreign land is a great experience and a huge leap from old timey trains they had rode on before, and above all that the trains are fast yet silent. They had arrived to the station, they got off and pressed onward. It took a little bit of time to get there as UA High was on a hill. Eventually, there it was UA High. They see the big campus building, it was in the shape of an H quite a remarkable building and an unforgettable design as well, there they see the whole city of Musutafu and it's being overlooked by the watchful eye of UA. Arriving at the front gate, they saw an intercom and Engie pressed it. "Hello? Uhm, we are here for the job interview for Teaching Assistants, my name is Dell Conagher, He's Mikhail, He's Herbert Ludwig, and Henri Le Roux." Silence...
In a room...
They were security feed of the four mercs inside of the school front gate, and files of the applications of the four are being read by someone. He looks at the applications, their photos, and educational attainment, glanced over at 'Engr. Dell Conagher' looked at his educational attainment, "11 PhD's? Quite impressive at his age not even reaching his 40's yet. Oh? The 11th one said "Ask for it :)" I am intrigued we haven't even met yet Mr. Conagher. Then glanced over to 'Dr. Herbert Ludwig', "Hmmm my my getting his Doctorate in Medicine ahead of his peers, just by looking at your picture you look fun.", then to 'Mikhail', "Got your family out of your war-torn village and protected and provided for your family and all the while studying then graduating and not only that, you have a PhD in Russian literature while also being well versed in other literatures and other Degrees in Mathematics and Economics, and giving most of your earnings to your family, for a big guy, you have big heart and brain.", and lastly to 'Henri Le Roux', looking at his educational attainment it's quite standard compared to the rest of his comrades, yet he looks like more than meets the eye, "Le Roux... looking at you... you seem to let on more than you know...I may have to call him here for a bit." Now glancing back to the screens, "We may have hit the jackpot!".
Pressing a button revealed a microphone to speak to the men. "Hello!"
"Howdy! We are here for the interview!"
"Ah yes, you must be the applicants! Alright head on through!" pressing another button, it opened the gate to them "There will be someone to guide you! You may have to wait a bit for him to arrive okay?"
"Yeah, it's fine!"
"Good! I'll be waiting gentlemen!". He reached for his phone and called someone.
Ring...Ring...Ring...
Click
'Hello? Principal Nezu what is happening?'
"Hello Erasherhead! I want you to assist our applicants for the Teaching Assistant positions."
"Hmm okay, but why do you need my help for these guys? Do they look suspicious?"
"For now, not really, and they are at the front of the main building, all I can say is that, they are all interesting characters, especially with one of them, who looks like is in the same line of work as you.."
"Another Underground Hero? Give me a brea-"
"Now now Eraserhead, they don't look like heroes to me and they don't strike me as villains as well, it's just, he looks like he's been in espionage before."
"Hmmm, I'll be right there in a minute."
"Okay! Goodbye!"
"Hrng..."
Click
Looking at the screens they are walking towards the main building. "Let's see who you guys really are..."
In front of UA High School Main Building...
"Zhat went well!"
"I hear ya! Wooooweee look at this lobby!"
"It's so big!"
Heavy stared in awe at the wonderful architecture of the room and it's design as well. "This is better than University Heavy teaches." Heavy looks at the chairs or rather couches, "We should seat for now while we wait for guide." They sit and waited for the guide to arrive.
5 Minutes Later...
Snore...
Snore...
"Ah, so you four are the applicants." A voice suddenly caught the attention of the team
Heavy got jolted awake when he got pinched by Medic and he saw this hobo with a scarf and black outfit and he looks like could use some sleep.
"I'll show you guys to the principal's office follow me."
As Aizawa is escorting the applicants he looked at them and inspected the four of them.
'Looking at these guys, they seem off...' He started his inspection on Medic. 'Other than them being obviously foreign, the doctor guy has this crazy grin while looking at people, creeps me out honestly.' Then Heavy 'This Big Guy may look like a brute but I can tell he's quite educated.' then Engie 'Hard hat, just by looking at you, I know you got experience in the support industry for a long time.' Lastly Spy. 'Quite a suit, I'd wager you must be the the one who Nezu suspects. Hmmm, you look like a spy, a subtle one at that but you can't fool me...'
Making their way through the halls and went up a few floors, they had arrived to the principal's office. "The principal is waiting for you, get in." Aizawa opens the door and lets the four men in.
"Ah! You four must the applicants! Come in, come in! I have made us some tea for this interview! Thank you Eraserhead for escorting our potentially new assistants!"
All throughout their journey as mercs had seen everything. From being hired to fight a 100 year long war, hats being given to them in an active warzone, ghosts, the Horseless Headless Horsemann, Demo's haunted eye, Merasmus, Solider, Pyro, their dead employers sending each other to hell, robots, Old Nick, robots selling hats to them, and the shriveled and frail corpse of the still living Zephenniah Mann watching everything for the past years.
But this... is thankfully the most normal weird they have ever saw in their lives, a talking rat thingy... and maybe the hobo too but oh well
"You may be wondering? What am I? A mouse, bear, dog? I am Nezu! The Principal of UA!"
Engie kept his composure. "Hello sir, names Dell, Dell Conagher, pleasure to meet ya!"
"Heavy's name is Mikhail."
"I am herr Herbert Ludwig!"
"My name is Henri Le Roux"
"Ah quite the diverse group you are, and what are you wearing in your heads?"
"That would be my invention sir! The Two-Way Translator! I've invented this device here for the purpose of ease of translation for both parties."
"Can you all speak and read Japanese?"
"Yes!" All in unison
"Why need to build such a device even if you know how to speak Japanese and how does it function?"
"Well I made it so that people understand us better without our accents getting in the way and in short terms this can receive as well as emit voices and translate them in real time."
"Quite an invention you have made! This can certainly help tourists! But I would like for you all to take them off as its kind of redundant since you all already know the basics I assume? And I want to hear your true voices!"
The four of them took it off.
"Back to the task at hand, do you all have an idea why I decided to interview all at the same time?"
"Heavy has no clue to be honest."
"Me neither"
Medic and Engineer shrugged
"It's fine, but it's because there's a discrepancy to your applications. There are no companies named Mann Co. and you all wrote it in your resumes as past work experiences citing 5 years of working at that company , neither does your Frontier Engineering for Mr. Dell here."
The hobo glared at them
Spy spoke. "You said his Frontier Engineering, I take it you have already deduced us visitors, yes?"
"What? Nezu are saying these guys are not from Earth?"
"Not from our Earth Eraserhead, they come from a different Earth."
The hobo named Eraserhead massaged his forehead, "The multiverse is real huh?" Nezu nodded, "Argh, this will give me a headache." he sat down in a couch.
"Now I know why you sent me to pick them up and stay at your office."
"Indeed! I have done background checks on all of you! Though, there was no background to search for anyways. Yet your documents looks legitimate."
"Heavy, ask why did you accept us?"
"Under normal circumstances yes I would've rejected all of you, but your applications are very unique so to say, especially with him." then Nezu points at Engie, "You have 11 PhD's and you earned all of it during your 20s I presume, you are more than meets the eye Mr. Conagher, and to everyone too!". Nezu is drinking his tea. "Like Mikhail, he refers to himself in third person and calls himself Heavy. Dr. Herbert keeps grinning all the time, and lastly Henri Le Roux, you stand out too much due to your resume being quite normal compared too, rather boring I would say, but I have great feeling that you were a spy. Am I correct gentlemen?"
"Heavy is impressed that little rat man, figured us out."
"Did you also had the same thought Eraserhead?"
Eraserhead spoke, "Yes, at a glance they don't look much, looked weird especially with the Doctor, yet there are more to them that we should know. What should we do to them Nezu?
"Ja, what happens to us now? Do you turn us in to the authorities?"
Nezu sipped his tea. "No."
The hobo looked surprised, "WHAT? What do you mean no, they are not from here!"
"If we were to reject them they might be get involved with villains! And I want to see their true skills."
"I read at their files they don't have quirks! I'm sure you read that part!"
"Yes I did, but" He stood up, "Gentlemen, why don't you show me what you actually got?"
Engie stood up and wore his hard hat and goggles, "Sir, I'm an Engineer that means I solve problems."
"What kind of problems?"
Engie smiled, "Practical Problems." he pulls out a PDA and a toolbox came out of nowhere , "Dispenser Goin' Up!" The dispenser builds and finishes building.
"What kind of problems does this solve?"
"Ever been in a battle before?" Engie asked, and then pointed at Eraserhead "You look like you have your fair share huh? Mr Eraserhead?"
"Oh my manners, I didn't introduce him to you!"
"I can introduce myself, my name is Shota Aizawa, Eraserhead is my pro hero name."
"Right, well Mr. Aizawa, have you ever worked with other heroes and along the line one of you got injured and you couldn't participate further."
"Yes there has been some incidents."
" Lemme tell ya, the dispenser can help you or your friends recover quick and get back to whatever hypothetical operation you're in."
"How could this machine recover injuries faster than hospitals?" Aizawa asked
"I'll demonstrate, oh and let's move it away from the rug." Engie moved that gear up, "Okay, Heavy, hit me with everything you got!"
"Are you sure Engineer?"
"Yes, I am quite concerned Mr. Conagher." Nezu was actually concerned yet wants to see this dispenser in action!
"EEEEYAAAAAA!"
POW!
SLAM!
Engie got beaten the fuck up, his arms were just dangling, skull caved in, broken ribcages, bleeding and to top it all off he hasn't pee'd yet. He went through all that in order to demonstrate the Dispenser's practicality in battle
Nezu and Aizawa winced at the gruesome sight
"Argh... okay, as you can see I'm... barely alive... but alive enough to... walk to the dispenser!" Engie limped to reach to dispenser's healing range.
"Are you sure he's ok?" Nezu asked
"Da, Heavy went easy."
'EASY!?' a concerned Aizawa thought
ZAP!
As he got in range for the healing, red rays came out of the Dispenser as it touched and connected with him, his bones were fixed no surgery needed, skull got uncaved, somehow his ribs healed, and the bleeding, it stopped all of that in 10 seconds! "Phew! Makin Bacon HAHAHA!"
Aizawa and Nezu couldn't believe what they're seeing, "How in the-, those injuries you've sustained could've landed you in the hospital for months on end! Yet this dispenser of yours just healed it off like nothing!" Aizawa in a mix of disbelief, shock, and in awe of what he witnessed. "Indeed, this device solves practical problems! Does it do more than dispense healing rays?" Nezu was beyond astonished with the Dispenser, and got even more curious what else it can do.
"Well yes it dispenses things! Hence, dispenser!"
Ding!
A box came out wih it's drawers, "This is metal not any specific kind just metal. It can also dispense something else, like ammunition or other things, hence Dispenser!" Nezu was invested, "And that's just in Level 1!"
"Level 1?" said both
"Yes! There are 3 Levels for this beaut! Each level can make it heal faster and dispense faster and larger materials!"
"How can this be upgraded? By using this metal I have in hand!"
Aizawa raised his brow, "How? That's just a bunch of scraps."
"It may just look like scraps but if I hit it with this wrench right 'ere, it's gonna upgrade to a level 2 and then a level 3!"
"You're joking right?"
Engie looked at Aizawa blankly. "Hehehe", and started hitting the Dispenser multiple times with the scraps of metal in between
CLANG!
WHACK!
POW!
CLANG!
Then true to his word the dispenser did upgrade
"You know what, I'm not even gonna question the logic behind that process."
"Most certainly impressive Mr. Conagher! I assume this isn't the only building you can make yes?"
"I got some more to solve practical problems."
"Do tell Mr. Conagher.."
10 minutes later...
"So apart from providing support, you can do area denial and logistics as well? HAHAHA! I fear that you are overqualified for the teaching assistant position you are applying at, even if you just taught 1 class! Hell, you can become a support teacher along with Power Loader! I dare say should make your own support company and make Billions!"
"I'm quite flattered sir!" Engie liked the praise he got, yet "I would like my machines private use for now, and maybe teachin' is good enough!"
"If that's all then Mr. Conagher." Nexu got up and reached his hand at Engie's "Welcome to UA!"
"A pleasure to be working with you sir!" They both shook hands
"Now for the rest of your friends Mr. Conagher, I would like you to vouch for them."
"No problemo sir!"
"Wonderful! Okay let's start with you Dr. Ludwig."
"Ohh, it's my turn!"
"I love the enthusiasm Doctor! So tell me how long have you been a Doctor?"
"For 30 years now herr Nezu!"
"I see, and not only that you claim to have graduated early than most of your batch!"
"Jä, is it true!"
"Now, just by looking at you aren't just a doctor aren't you?"
" HAHAHA Of course! "
"I wager that healing beam on Mr. Conagher's dispenser came from you didn't it?"
"Jä, I discovered it during the heat of the moment!"
"Mr. Conagher?"
Engie nodded, "It's all true! I was there... dying on the ground."
"So they healing beam comes from you, and do you have such a device?"
"I have it right here!" Medic pulled out The
Overdose, "I call zhis zhe OVERDOSE!, it is the culmination of all my past medi-guns I have made!"
"Pardon me, but you said "medi-guns" that means you have more them is that correct?" Aizawa interjected
"Yes, I shall demonstrate it to you now, Heavy if you please?"
Heavy stood up
"Is he going to beat you up?"
"Heh, well no" Medic flips a switch at the medi-gun
CRACK!
BZZZT
"I AM FULLY CHARGED!"
Aizawa and Nezu look at the "gun" and seeing some sparks of electricity on the end of the barrel and the backpack. "An amazi-" suddenly Medic puts his finger on Nezu's mouth, "Shhhh, save zhe compliments after zhe demonstration!"
"CHARGE NOW DOCTOR!"
ZAP!
"I AM BULLETPROOF!" Heavy was Übercharged! To Nezu and Aizawa the Heavy was shining bright red and glowing yellow eyes!
Nezu stood up in high energy! "WHAT AN AMAZING DEVICE! NO QUESTIONS NEEDED YOU ARE HIRED ALONG WITH MR. MIKHAIL!"
"REALY!?" Medic laughs maniacally
Medic Schadenfreude
Nezu suddenly joined the laughter! "HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!"
Nezu stopped himself "Anyways, before I move to Mr. Le Roux, what was that move called?"
"It's called zhe Übercharge! 10 seconds of invulnerability basically!"
"Hmm, such a move can break an enemy's defense or hold the line, an interesting device." Aizawa was intrigued
"Last one, Mr. Le- Roux? Where is he?"
"Heavy has no clue"
"Nope"
"Nein"
All three of them feigned ignorance as they exactly knew what he was doing
"Hmmm, I could've sworn he was there a second ago... Eraserhead do you have an idea where he went?"
"I don't think he left the room yet, we would've seen the door move as well as hear it..."
Decloak!
Whistle~~~
Nezu turned back and he saw... ERASERHEAD?
"What in the goddamn" Aizawa was flabbergasted, and he looked back at the three, they were smiling, "You all knew didn't you?"
"Didn't wanna ruin the surprise."
"Interesting, he can transform into anyone! I'd also say that you can go invisible correct?"
"Yes, but it's a disguise technically" Spy said in Aizawa's voice, "If I ever attack, the disguise will break." Spy lightly punches Engie and smoke appears revealing Spy. "Ahem. Gentlemen."
"Invisibility, and the ability to disguise anyone at will. You can make a perfect Underground Hero!"
"Excuse me? What does it mean?"
"Underground Heroes are the " super spies", as they prefer to be not known to the public which is beneficial to underground heroes like Eraserhead!"
"I see."
"Well I've seen what you all are capable of! Congratulations gentlemen! You are all hired! Let's shake on it!"
And round of handshakes and thank yous were exchanged.
"Now onto what jobs I will place you on, Mr. Conagher, there is no doubt that you'll make an excellent Support Teacher! And you're going to working another Support Teacher his name is Higari Majima his pro hero name is Power Loader, I'll introduce you to him properly later. And if I may ask, would you be so kind to review our security system, with a mind like yours we could use some improvements while everything is relatively peaceful."
"You got it!"
"Excellent! Now Dr. Ludwig, you are going to be helping the medical staff!"
"Wunderbar!"
"Well, it's just going to be you two as she's the only one with healing capabilities around here and with your machine you can certainly help her out!"
"Ja!"
"Mr. Misha you will become a teaching assistant along with Mr. Le Roux, but for Mr. Le Roux, he will be helping Eraserhead's duties from Hero work to school work, would that be fine to you Mr. Le Roux?"
"I get to spying again? Of course it will be fine!"
"How about you Eraserhead?"
Aizawa looks at Spy, "You better not disappoint me."
"Worry not, I don't disappoint."
"As for Mr. Misha you are quite flexible, you have an expertise at foreign literature and have some knowledge at science, math ,and economics! So you'll be a freelancer as I'll assign you through to other teachers every other week! Would that be fine?"
"Da."
"Now, walk with me my newest employees! I have something to show you, AFTER LUNCH!"
Later in a room full of screens...
After eating lunch with the Principal plus Eraserhead, they made their way to a room full of monitors, and they also see other teachers as well. They saw the screens, it seems like they're watching an.. empty city. "Sir, where are we?"
"I am glad you asked! This is the observation room for the practical entrance exam, its purpose is to watch and grade individual students' performance and to assess if they have passed or not."
"Hey, Principal!" a woman's voice was heard as she walks towards them, "Who are they? They look foreign..."
"They are the newest addition to the teaching staff!" Nezu points at Medic, "Except for Dr. Ludwig, as he is the newest addition to the medical staff we have!"
"Ooooo, can heal people like Recovery Girl?"
"He certainly can!"
"Ja! Good to meet you! I am zhe Medic!"
"Medic? Is that your Pro Hero Name? Kinda basic I won't lie." She stared Medic up and down, "Hmm I don't know much German, how about "Gesundheit"?"
"Health? Zhat's what you suggest?" Medic thought about that, its rather basic for him, but he thought eh why not? "Eh, why not?"
"I knew you'd like it! I suggest the best hero names! My name is Nemuri Kayama, my pro hero name is Midnight by the way!"
"Ah, good to meet you Ms. Kayama!"
"You too! How about you hard hat, what's your name?"
"Name's Dell Conagher, The Texas Ranger!"
"I like your pro hero name, quite fitting since you look like you live in Texas!"
"Ah, shucks, I was born and raised there!"
"How about you big guy?"
"Heavy's name is Mikhail, but people call Heavy, Heavy"
"Why Heavy?"
"I am Heavy Weapons Guy"
"I disapprove the hero name, how about "Iron Kurtain?""
"Da, is better than Heavy."
"How about this dapper fellow?"
"I am Henri Le Roux, I am the Spy."
"Spy... way too simple, how about Spyware?"
"I like that name Ms. Kayama! It fits him!" Nezu complimented
"I knew you'd like it too Principal!"
"Anyways I'll introduce to you all to the current staff"
Nezu introduced Engie to Power Loader and they both hit it off die to their shared interest in engineering and technology. Medic met Recovery Girl, he was surprised that she was an old lad-, ow I guess she heard him. Heavy met a lot of teachers as he was the most versatile out of them. While Spy just introduced himself to others, he took this opportunity to talk to Eraserhead and ask about his nightly hero routine.
After introductions...
"Please welcome our new staff everyone!"
Claps from across to the room to greet the mercs a warm welcome, well so far only Nezu and Eraserhead knows they aren't from this Earth and they know they're mercs from their conversation during lunch earlier.
"Everyone please take your seats! The students will arrive to the Grounds now!"
The mercs watched the practical but wasn't allowed yet to grade those students. They observe intently, seeing that they're fighting fake villains, then Power Loader pressed the button to release the 0 Pointers. After 10 minutes, they stopped the test, Recovery Girl and Gesundheit (Medic) got sent out to treat injured students.
Engie got up, "May I borrow y'all's time Principal and Power Loader?"
"Sure."
"Oooo, you got some ideas with the robots aren't you?"
"You're reading my mind sir!"
"Ah, is this about the robots?"
"Yes, I watched the action and I wanna say those robots look cool, but they don't look like villains you see on the street, in short they look bland and generic."
"Hey! I worked hard on them!"
"Apologies, but we can improve them for next year's entrance exams, I propose that me and Power Loader should work on it as soon as possible, I've got my blueprints ready for these robots."
"I approve, but let me see them yes?"
"Yeah!"
"Let's head on to the Development Studio. I wanna see your robots as well."
Support Studio...
Engie took a look at the room, and it was an Engineer's dream room! Though he very much prefer his workshop back home, "This is an inventor's wet dream here!"
"It's beautiful ain't it Dell?"
"You damn right it is Power Loader!"
"Ahem, Mr. Conagher what are your suggestions for the robots we use?"
"For started those oversized toy tanks of yours are feels artificial, you want your future heroes to face real villains out in the field right? You oughta make em at least look real." Engie pulled out the blueprints, "Now these, are robots."
Power Loader and Nezu looked at the blueprints labeled; "Sir Nukesalot" "Major Bomber" "Captain Punch" "Major Crits" "Sergeant Crits" and " Mega Bonk Boy"
"These robots are big! And look like human enough I guess? How'd you make these designs?"
"They're designed after my friends back home, they have weird fashion senses."
Reading the blueprints further Nezu noticed they use weapons "Hmm, they appear to use weapon systems like 4/6 of them use explosives. Why explosives?"
"Well my friends like to hit the range and blow up stuff. It's their job really."
"Is your friend a demolitions man per chance?"
"Right on sir. Explosives are his expertise."
"Principal Nezu these robots could make fine 0 Pointers or even other pointers, especially the explosive bots, we can try and tune it down though just target the buildings and maybe on some we should make them giants. Anyways Dell do you have more bots that can make a fine addition to our bots?"
"I never thought you'd ask."
30 Minutes later
Engie had shown them the blueprints for the robots from late Gray Mann, on which they obtained while the other mercs were raiding the Gray Gravel Headquarters. They accepted Engie's blueprints and plan to introduce them to next year's practical. Nezu wants them to start working on it next month. Engie and Power Loader bid farewell for now, he was walking with Nezu talking about their world, and they met up with the other three.
"Why hello there, my otherworldly employees, how was your exploration of UA?"
"Heavy met many teachers"
"I got to know Eraserhead we are very similar in some ways."
"I have spent time with zhis Recovery Girl, and I didn't expect her to be an old lady!"
"Well, you guys will start next school year, which is 2 months from now, but Mr. Conagher will come in at March to work on a project I assigned him with. Is that clear?"
They all understood, "Ok gentleman see you all in 2 months, and Mr. Le Roux you might get a call from Eraserhead from time to time at night."
"Why?"
"Well you are going to work along side him if there's an operation happening like recon."
"Wouldn't we need Pro Hero licenses? Mr. Nezu?"
"Don't worry I got you all covered, I'll email you all when I got the licenses, once I email you, meet me at my office."
"Okay, Thanks principal."
Back at the "RED SHED" aka The Merc's apartments...
"So I reckon that's that! I guess were heroes now.."
"Und not exactly, Im basically a glorified nurse!"
"Technically you aren't a nurse nor a doctor, since back home your license got revoked!"
"Bah, I'm surprised zhey thought I'm still a licensed doctor! HAHAHAH"
"So Spy, you a hero? Color me surprised that you agreed you and that hobo looked alike minus the hobo look."
"Da, so... are heroes yet?"
DoDoDoot!
They looked at their phones, to see it was Nezu's email, "It said pulled the strings and got you all hero licenses! Come back at Monday!"
"I guess we are now."
SCRATCH!
