After returning to the agency, Midoriya quickly ran up to his room and made the necessary preparations to head on out patrol. Naturally, the boy was looking forward to going out and getting a feel for what actual hero work was like. But there was still a slight bit of nervousness gnawing at the back of his head.

His morning training session with Katsuragi was a bit of an eye opener on how much he still needed to improve when it came to his quirk. There was no doubt that he would be able to learn a lot from the woman. So it was his duty to ensure that he absorbed as much information as possible in the seven days that he was going to be under her tutelage.

As he cracked open the metal case with the number eighteen written on it, he couldn't help but smile at the new addition to his costume. Much like the rest of his outfit, the helmet's design was simple. It was straight black with green lenses that matched the color of his eyes. The piece of equipment was also designed to completely cover his head and had a good amount of padding on the inside. As he inspected it a bit further, he noticed a piece of paper tucked into one of the pads near the crown of the head.

"Dear Izuku Midoriya,

The support company would like to formally apologize for the delay in finishing your requested item. Due to a shortage of materials along with your late submission, extra time was needed to complete the design. Thank you for understanding. Also, we here at the U.A. support course took it upon ourselves to add a few features that weren't in the original schematics. After your match in the Sports Festival, infrared lenses were added to help assist you in any future hero operations. Instructions for how to operate are inside of the case. If you have any further questions, please contact your support course representative, which is me!

-Mei Hatsume."

"I guess the support course has free reign to alter designs without clearing it with us first." The boy thought as he set the item down on his bed. Even if he didn't ask for it, he was grateful that someone was looking out for him when it came to overcoming one of his weaknesses. "I have to make sure to thank this Hatsume person whenever I see her."

A few minutes passed before the boy was fully dressed in his costume. He was almost completely ready to make his way down to the lobby. But there was one unforeseen issue that was still holding him up. His helmet didn't fit.

The measurements were exactly spot on from his request form. But the boy obviously failed to factor his hair into the equation. When he tried to put it on, either the fit was too tight or tufts of his green mane would cover his eyes. Before he could think of a solution to this wardrobe malfunction, a knock at the door drew his focus.

"Come in!" He called out, prompting Katsuragi to enter the room. Much like his costume, hers was relatively simple. The woman was dressed in a dark green form-fitting dress, knee-high black boots and a white fur overcoat that cut off at her waist.

"Are you ready, Midoriya-kun?" The green haired heroine asked while giving him the once over.

"A-almost…." He responded with a slight blush on his face. "I'm just having a bit of an issue."

"What's wrong?"

"It's my helmet...it doesn't quite fit."

"You're just now figuring this out? I thought you've had your hero suit for a while now."

"My helmet was just finished, so this is my first time trying it on. The measurements are right but my hair just keeps getting in the way." He bashfully admitted.

"Hmmm…" Katsuragi rubbed the side of her face for second before an idea popped into her head. "I have some hair gel in my office. That should hold be able to help. But you might want to consider getting a haircut. It's a more efficient solution."

"That's probably a good idea." He responded. The boy couldn't even remember the last time he cut his hair. He was never one to care about his appearance all that much. But if it made wearing his support item easier, then it was just a necessary evil.

"Let's go to my office so we can handle this. I want us to get as much patrol time as possible today. It may be a Wednesday, but most people are out on their lunch breaks right about now and that means there shouldn't be a shortage of work." Katsuragi stated as she made her way towards the door.

"Y-yes, ma'am!"

The first two hours of her first ever patrol were not as exciting as Tokage had imagined. Her and her mentor for the week had pretty much spent the entire time walking around one of his designated routes while he gave her a few tips and tricks of the trade. Part of the girl was itching to see some action, but she was well aware that the less work the two of them had to do, the better.

"As you are already aware, heroes are nothing more than civil servants just like the police and firefighters. The only real difference is that we're allowed to use our quirks to handle any situation that we run in to. Our main job is to control crime and assist in any matters that we can." The masked hero sated as the two turned a corner.

"Yes, sir." Tokage responded while taking mental notes.

"Heroes can be specifically requested by the police or handle anything that we run into and keep things contained until villains can be arrested and sent in for processing. We file reports for the work we do and then the Hero Public Safety Commission reviews them and that's how we get paid. The bigger the job, the more money we earn."

"Yeah, my aunt was telling me about how there's a special agency within the HPSC that has like thirty members whose job is to look over all the resolved cases."

"I take it your aunt is a hero then?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good, then I'm sure you're already aware of how tedious the process can get. The sooner you complete your paperwork, the less of a headache you have to deal with. Most pros have to set aside time throughout their day strictly for paper pushing. Or they have a staff member handle it for them. Once we get back to the agency I'll show you how to properly fill those out."

"I'm looking forward to it-"

The green haired girl was cut off when a loud boom and the sound of shattering glass interrupted her.

"Someone help! We've been robbed!" A middle aged woman standing in front of what looked to be some type of jewelry store cried out. In the distance, Tokage could see a group of men dressed in all black jumping into pickup truck near the crime scene.

"Stay here and make sure that woman is alright. I'll handle those thieves!" Edgeshot ordered before sprinting down the road and activating his quirk to swing in between the light poles.

'Not a moment's hesitation. I guess that's a top hero for you.' The girl thought before running towards the woman. "Are you okay? Was anyone injured?"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. But those hooligans completely cleaned us out."

"Don't worry ma'am, Edgeshot's here. He'll deal with those guys in a flash." She reassured the woman. In situations like these it was best to keep the victim calm. That was pretty much the first lesson of "Hero-ing 101". And with a top hero on the scene, there was nothing to worry about.

"Thanks goodness." The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Further down the road, Edgeshot had closed the distance between him and the escaping vehicle. Unfortunately for the group of villains, their getaway hit a bit of snag. Due to the fact that it was rush hour the upcoming crosswalk was filled with civilians. Not looking to add manslaughter onto an already substantial armed robbery charge, the woman behind the wheel began honking the horn to alert everyone to get out of the way. This proved futile though as the people didn't move in time, forcing her to hit the breaks.

"Dammit!" The man in the back seat cursed while preparing his quirk.

"That's Edgeshot, I thought you said he doesn't come through this area during the week?"

"He must've switched up his route. It doesn't matter though, there's four of us and one of him!" Another said while opening the car door. "Let's hurry and handle him before some other heroes show up!"

Three of the villains proceed to jumped out of the vehicle and wasted no time in engaging the pro. The first man used his quirk to fire off small ice spikes from his hands while the other produced a few heated spikes from his. The masked hero had no issue in dodging these attacks and had already picked out his first victim. A large man with orange skin who obviously had no long range capabilities.

'I'll deal with this one quickly and incapacitate the other two. Their driver is still in the car so she'll be last.' He told himself before activating his own quirk and launching himself towards the man. "Ninpo: Thousand Sheet Pierce!"

What the pro hero wasn't expecting was for the man to have a hardening quirk. His razor-thin sheet of red wire practically bounced off the guy like a coin on the pavement. 'No good, huh? I'll go after the ice user then.'

Edgeshot proceeded to redirect himself and pierce the chest of the other man, knocking him out instantly. With one down, his new target was the other spike user. But just as he was about to deliver the finishing blow, the 'hardening' quirk user jumped in his way.

"That trick won't work on me hero! You're out of your element!" The orange skinned man taunted in a smug fashion.

"Well it's a good thing that he has help!" A female voice suddenly said from above them.

Out of nowhere, both of the remaining villains and the car began floating into the air. Everyone in the surrounding area upturned their gazes to see a green haired woman levitating in the sky along with another person wearing all black. 'Blizzard?'

"Skywalker, keep this truck suspended in the air and don't let that person open the door. I'll deal with these two." Blizzard commanded the masked individual.

"R-right!" Midoriya nodded before taking control of the vehicle. The person inside was doing her best to open the driver side door, but he was able to hold it in place.

"And make sure you take notes."

What happened next only further confirmed the gap between the two telekinetic user's abilities. Everyone watched as Blizzard ripped one of the awnings off a nearby building and wrapped the metal frame around both of the villains before setting them onto the ground. With a clear shot, Edgeshot used his quirk to pierce the mouth of the larger of the two men before doing the same to other one.

With those two out of the way, the three turned their attention back towards the last remaining person in the truck.

"Fuck, get me out of here!" The woman screamed out as her hand reformed into a giant metal claw and pierced through the door.

"I'll take it from here." Blizzard said while retaking control of the truck. The green haired heroine then pulled the door off of it's frame and used her quirk to grab hold of the villain before forcing her to the ground. "She's all yours, Edgeshot."

"Yes." The masked hero simply said as knocked out the woman with the same move from earlier.

With all four of the robbers now subdued, the two greenettes descended onto the ground before making their way over to the number five hero.

"Thanks for the help. I'll admit I was going to have a hard time finding an opening with that hardening user. You came right in time." Edgeshot gave the two a slight bow.

"Don't mention it." Blizzard waved off.

'Oh my god, it's the number five hero, Edgeshot! I completely forgot that his agency is in this area. Man, I wish I had the time to get his autograph. His quirk is so versatile!' Midoriya silently fanboyed inside of his head. Thankfully he was wearing his helmet or the two pros would've seen the expression of absolute astonishment plastered all over his face.

"It's a surprise seeing you around here. I thought you usually patrol the shopping area near the financial district."

"You're right, but I thought I'd switch things up today to give my intern here a lay of the land."

"Intern?" The masked hero turned his gaze towards Midoriya. "Well that's a coincidence, I also have-"

"Is everything alright over here?!" A familiar voice called out. Midoriya looked to his left to see none other than his classmate quickly sprinting towards their location. 'Tokage-san?'

"Lizardy, how's that woman?"

"She's fine, no injuries. She told me that she was okay and called the police. I thought it was a good idea to come over and see if you needed any help."

"Good job, but in the future make sure you wait until after the police arrive before leaving the scene of a crime." The masked man said in a matter of fact tone. It was a simple rookie mistake, so there was no need in making a big deal about it.

"Yes, sir." The green haired girl awkwardly smiled before glancing at other two people. The first person she knew almost immediately with her dark green hair and expensive looking coat. The other person took her second before she recognized the outfit. He may have been wearing that cool looking helmet now, but there was no mistaking who it was. "Moptop?"

"You know each other?" Blizzard raised an eyebrow at her intern.

"H-hello T-Tokage-san." He greeted the girl in a bit of shaky tone. "I didn't know you were going to be working with Edgeshot."

"Yeah, awesome right?! She smiled back at the boy. "We're in the same class. We even partnered up during the Sports Festival."

"Ah yes, that's why you look so familiar." The green haired heroine nodded.

"We can save the introductions for later. For now, I suggest that we secure these other villains and wait for them to get picked up." Edgeshot interjected.

"Agreed."

Over the next ten or so minutes, the group did all they could to clean up the crime scene. It wasn't long before the police finally arrived and carted the group of robbers off. The two students made sure to pay extra attention to how the process went for handing off any criminals and how to interact with their peers.

"Thank you again for showing up, I appreciate it." Edgeshot repeated.

All Blizzard could do was smile at this. "It was my pleasure."

"Y'know...I'm kinda sad I missed all the action." Tokage joked while leaning her arm on Midoriya's shoulder, causing the boy to blush.

'She's so close!'

"Being a hero is more about doing battle with villains and thugs. Ensuring the safety of the bystanders should always be your number one priority. You did well to make sure that the shop owner was safe before joining us."

"You should take her words to heart, Lizardy. Blizzard is one of the top rescue heroes in the country and ranked thirtieth for a reason. Hell, she'd be a shoe-in for the top ten if she put in any effort into her marketing and public image." Edgeshot said in what everyone assumed to be a joking tone.

"Stuff like that doesn't interest me anymore. I'll leave the popularity contest to guys like you and All Might." The woman quipped in return.

"I agree." The masked man said. "I may prefer to operate in the shadows, but nowaday-"

*Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. So tell me what you want, what you really, really want-* The man was interrupted by Blizzard's cell phone going off.

"Excuse me." The woman quickly apologized before pressing the green button on her screen. "Go for Blizzard."

"Hey boss, it's Madoka! We have a bit of a situation. An office building collapsed near the mall and we could really use your help. I know you're busy training the rookie but we're out of our depth and people may still be trapped inside!" The voice of Ozehana said on the other side of the line.

"A building collapse!" Everyone's ears perked up after hearing this. "We're on the way!"

"Thanks!"

"Sorry, but we have a situation near the mall. We have to go." She looked to the masked man.

"Allow us to come with you. The situation is serious and you could use some extra sets of hands. And I have to repay you for your earlier assistance."

"Fine, it's only a few minutes away if we fly. I can carry you there."

All of a sudden, Midoriya felt a foreign weight place itself onto his back. The boy turned his head to see Tokage grinning down at him while wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "Well what the hell are we waiting for? Let's get going!"

"T-T-Tokage-san?!"

"Aww what's wrong, dude? Are you embarrassed to have a pretty girl ride you?" Her grin widened to an almost feral smile as she watched him fumble from her not-so-subtle innuendo. Even with the helmet on, she could practically see the redness on his cheeks.

"Lewd comments aside, the girl is right. We need to get going. Are you fine with carrying her, Skywalker?"

"Y-yes, ma'am."

"Then let's get a move on!" The woman commanded before levitating into the air, grabbing onto her colleague and launching herself towards the sky.

"Phew, I think she's faster than you Moptop." Tokage whistled at the woman's speed. Her and Midoriya may have the same quirk, but she was definitely on a different level.

"Yeah."

"Well we can't let them leave us behind! Onward, my steed!" The 'lizard tail splitter' user shouted while pointing to the sky.

All Midoriya could do was let out a slight groan as he took off into the air. Now wasn't the time to get flustered at the thought of having a pretty girl cling to his back like a baby koala. People were in trouble and there was no time to waste.

Within a few minutes the group of heroes and interns were at the scene. And to say that things didn't look good would be putting it mildly. Like they had been told, there was a building collapse. If there was any consolation to this mess, it was that only half of what they assumed to be some sort of office building was reduced to rubble. The rest was still standing. At the exact same moment, Midoriya and Tokage felt a lump appear in their throats at what they were seeing.

"Holy shit." Tokage whispered out in disbelief.

Recovery operations seemed to be underway and Midoriya recognized a few of the heroes on the ground from Blizzard's agency. Some were moving rubble into a small clearing while what looked to be a female in a form fitting variation of a firefighter's uniform was using her quirk to snuff out the remaining flames.

"You two head over to where the EMT's are and help out. Skywalker, I might you need you to assist in moving the debris." Blizzard ordered.

"Do whatever the rescue crew says and stay alert." Edgeshot added.

"Right!" The two students nodded before flying over to where the nearby ambulances were located. Once they were on the ground, they could see just how serious the situation was. People in gurneys were being loaded up and there were other injured civilians being treated in a blocked off area.

"Who are you two?" One of the firefighters asked from behind them.

"We're hero interns." Tokage answered. "We were told to come over here and help out with whatever we can."

"Thank goodness." The man said with a slight grin. "Do either of you have quirks that can help us move some of these patients? We're spread pretty thin."

"I do!" Midoriya quickly responded. "I have telekinesis."

"I know a bit of first aid. But I'm not an expert."

"Every little bit helps." The man waved them on. "Come over here and help us load this guy onto the gurney."

The two greenettes did as they were told and followed the man towards a nearby coffee shop where one of the paramedics had just finished treating a man with what looked like two broken legs on top of spine board. "Move this one onto the gurney. Try not to jostle him too much, he has a spinal injury."

"Got it!" The green haired boy nodded as he held his arms out in front of him. He may not have Yanagi's level of control, but this was well within his capabilities. He took a second to clear his mind before getting to work. As gently as possible, Midoriya lifted the man onto the gurney and set him down without any unnecessary shaking. Once his job was done, the paramedic was quick to strap him down and rush him over to a nearby ambulance.

"Thank you, young man." The guy placed a hand on his shoulder as he passed by.

"Alright, we still have some people with less severe injuries that need to get bandaged up. You two can help out."

"Skywalker, get over here!" Blizzard suddenly called out to Midoriya from above the rubble. The boy hesitated for a moment as he looked back his classmate and the man. Apparently, Tokage seemed to be able to read his mind and gave him a quick thumbs up.

"We got this."

"Right." Midoriya simply said before flying over to where his mentor was.

"We need to get going, young lady. Come on."

"Yes, sir!"

Once Midoriya was next to Blizzard, the woman wasted no time in getting down to business. She pointed over to a nearby mound where the woman from before was pulling the flames from around the area. "Once Ember is done snuffing out those fires, the two of us are going to move these rocks."

"Yes ma'am."

A few seconds passed before the fire was handled and the woman gave her a thumbs up. "Good to go, boss!"

With that, the two green haired telekinetics quickly went to work and lifted the rubble into the air. Midoriya himself was able to lift six rather hug pieces closer to the road, but Blizzard moved nearly a third of the mound by herself. The duo spent the next few minutes moving the debris before the woman now identified as Ember shouted at them to stop.

"There's still someone trapped inside!"

The two quickly descended upon her position and were met with the sight of young looking woman crouched underneath a slab of stone. From the looks of it, she was barely a meter away from being crushed by object.

"I'll lift that slab from above her." Midoriya started to activate his quirk, but was stopped when Blizzard put her hand in front of his face.

"When dealing with rescue operations it's never a good idea to haphazardly start moving things around. You don't know if disturbing the scene could cause a chain reaction." She told him.

"Shit, s-sorry."

"It's fine, just try and remember that from now on." The green haired heroine said before turning back to the woman. "Ma'am, are injured?! Do you feel any pain?! Are you able to move?!"

"No! I think I'm okay!" She shouted back in a frightened tone.

"I'm going to levitate you from out of there. Please refrain from any unnecessary movements and do your best to remain calm!"

"O-okay!"

True to her word, Blizzard used her quirk to safely float the woman over to them. She seemed to be perfectly fine other than the layer of grime all over her body. Which meant that she must've had a guardian angel looking out for her. "Skywalker, please escort her over to the triage area. Me and Ember can take over from here."

"Yes ma'am."

"Thank you Blizzard, you're truly amazing!"

"As long as you're okay, I don't need any thanks. Please follow Skywalker and get yourself checked out."

Midoriya was amazed at how composed the woman was in all of this madness. He himself was feeling a bit on edge after seeing all of this chaos, but she was as cool as ice. If he ever needed an example on how a hero should act in a crisis, this was it.

The green haired boy quickly escorted the woman back to where he was standing only a few minutes ago and walked her over to go get looked at by the paramedics.

While that was going on, Tokage was hard at work assisting wherever she could. She may have had some basic first aid training from Kayama, but now she knew that she needed to brush up on her skills. While Midoriya and his mentor were moving debris, she had spent the last few minutes wrapping bandages and splinting broken bones. The girl typically wasn't a nervous person, but right now she was feeling the pressure of the situation. She was now regretting her earlier comment about not getting to see any action.

"Alright, I think that should do it for now. Thanks hero." One of the paramedics told her in a relieved tone.

"I'm just glad I could help." She gave him a short smile.

The next thirty minutes were spent cleaning up the area and treating anyone else that was pulled out of the rubble. While Blizzard and Midoriya were busy clearing out debris, Edgeshot was using his quirk to get into tight spaces and search for anyone else that was still trapped. Everything seemed to be going relatively well until Blizzard placed a hand a boy's shoulder and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Midoriya-kun, I want you to head back over to where your classmate is and stay there until I say otherwise."

The boy couldn't help the look of confusion that crossed his face at the woman's words. Sure she was powerful, but with the two of them they would be able to clean things up a lot faster. "B-but-"

"Just go, there's something here that I don't want you to see."

All he did was nod and fly back over to where Tokage was still treating minor injuries before the woman called over to Ember.

"What's up boss? Why'd you send the kid away?" The purple eyed woman asked.

Instead of a verbal response, Blizzard simply pointed over to a nearby mound. Ember's eyes tracked to where her finger was leading to and her heart almost stopped when she noticed a human arm sticking out from underneath a rather large bolder about twenty meters in front of them.

"Dammit!"

"It's still too early for the boy to be exposed to something like that. He may be a hero in training, but he's still just a kid." The green haired woman said in a soft tone.

"Yeah...I can't argue with you there."

"Do me a favor and go find a blanket. And let one of the crews know about what we found and send them over here."

"Yeah, no problem."

If Midoriya and Tokage ever needed a reality check on just what kind of career field they were aspiring to, then this was definitely it.

Once the rescue and the clean up were finished, it was hard for either of the two students to miss the seventeen black bags laying under a makeshift tent in the distance. In truth, with everything going on the possibility of there being any deceased didn't even occur to either of the two teenagers before seeing it for themselves. Luckily neither of them were subjected to having to bare witness to what shape those unfortunate souls were in before being covered up. But that did little to brighten their moods.

"Man, talk about one hell of a first day." Tokage let out while sitting down on the curb.

"Yeah…" An equally dejected Midoriya agreed while taking the spot next to her and removing his helmet.

"I guess this is the kind of thing we're gonna have to get used to once we go pro."

"Looks that way."

"Edgeshot and Blizzard must be used to this kind of thing by now. It's kind of crazy, huh? Seeing it on the news is one thing, but being right here in the thick of it is a whole different monster."

"No kidding."

"Still, you seemed to be a pretty big help out there." The girl gave him a bit of a smirk.

"So were you." He turned to her with a slight grin of his own. "You did a good job helping out and treating those injuries. You said that you've have first aid training before?"

"Yeah, Aunt Nemuri and my dad taught me some stuff, but nothing official. It was mainly because of how my quirk works but also because it's a valuable skill to have."

"That makes a lot of sense."

"If you want, I could teach you a thing or two. You'll just have to pay a small fee." She said with a slightly joking tone. In her opinion, it was best to lighten up the mood whenever possible. And right now was as good a time as any.

"A-and what is that?"

"Eh, I don't know. I'll think of something later."

Just before he could respond, the two students were called over by Edgeshot, Blizzard and Ember who were making their way over to them. Now that they weren't in the middle of a rescue operation, Midoriya was finally able to take in the purple eyed woman's appearance. She looked to be the same height as him, but she had a considerable level of muscle on her body.

"What's up rookie? We haven't had the chance to formally introduce ourselves yet. I'm Madoka Ozehana, but I go by Ember when I'm on duty."

"It's nice to meet you." The boy bowed.

"Ember here recently transferred over to my agency, but she's very good at what she does. She spends most of her time working with the local fire departments where her quirk is most useful. You'll be seeing her around quite a bit during your stay." Blizzard explained.

"That's pretty cool, what's your quirk if you don't mind me asking?"

"I call it 'flame control', I can't create fires but I can control them. I mostly use it to snuff out flames that are too hard to get under control." Ember said.

"That's pretty useful for rescue operations." Tokage commented.

"Indeed."

Edgeshot was next to voice his opinion. "You two did a good job in assisting the recovery and clean up. I'm sorry you had to be exposed to such a thing on your first day, but this is the type of work you have to get used to if you want to become a pro."

"We understand sir."

"Good." Blizzard smiled. "Me and Edgeshot were talking and we think it would be best if we cut our patrols short for the day and rest up at the agency. We wanted to talk to you about what happened here."

"Speaking of which." The 'lizard tail splitter' user interjected. "What caused the building to collapse?"

"From the information that we were told, it was a suicide bomber."

A chill went down the two teenagers spines after hearing that. Villains attacks were a pretty common nowadays, but this was in the catergory of actual terrorism. Sure, attacks such as this weren't as frequent as they were in the past. But the fact that it happened was a bit alarming.

"The police have everything under control so there's nothing more for us to do. We'll be heading back to Blizzard's agency to cool off and discuss how we'll proceed from here."

"What do you mean?" Midoriya tilted his head in confusion.

"The two of us have been talking and we think it would be a good idea to team up for the remainder of your internships. Whatever training needs to be done will be conducted in the mornings and then we'll meet up in the afternoons to join forces."

"Seriously?!" The two greenettes blurted out simultaneously.

"It's a better way for you students to get some more experience and teaming up is more efficient. Sure, most pros prefer to go solo nowadays. But it never hurts to learn from two heroes rather than one."

"We'll discuss this further back at the agency over a meal. For now, we should get going. Do you want to come with us, Ember?" Blizzard asked her partner.

"No, I'm heading back over to the station just in case another call comes in before the end of my shift. I'll be back later." The purple eyed woman replied.

"Good, I'll see you later." Blizzard smiled before levitating off the ground and floating Edgeshot by her side. Prompting Tokage to resume her earlier position and jump on Midoriya's back. Except this time, the boy didn't even bother fighting it.

With one last wave, the group of four made their back to agency for some much needed rest and relaxation.

Back at the agency, the group had just made their way into the building. Tokage was admittedly impressed with the overall layout of the place and how extravagant everything looked. Edgeshot's agency had the whole "ninja" vibe, but Blizzard's had more of "modern Japanese" feel to it.

Once inside, the four of them went to the green haired woman's office and wasted no time digging into their prepared meals. For Midoriya and Tokage, seeing the number five hero without his signature mask was quite the shock. They were certain that tabloids across the country would pay top dollar to get a snapshot of the guy in his current state. At least now they could say that they were part of the select few who got to see it in person.

"This food is wonderful, Blizzard. Please give my compliments to the chef." Kamihara said in between bites.

"I'll be sure to pass the word on." Katsuragi smiled.

"Yeah, the food is amazing!" Tokage added.

"Thank you. So, you and Midoriya-kun are classmates?"

"Sure are!"

"Well, the fact that you two know each other should be beneficial for the duration of this week. It's fortunate that we ran into each other."

"Y-yeah." Midoriya nervously nodded.

"You certainly left quite an impression during the Sports Festival, Midoriya-san. You completely routed Endeavor's son and Ingenium's little brother. I wouldn't be surprised if you received offers from a few of the heroes in the top ten."

"I-I did." The boy admitted. "A few of the top heroes sent me a request, but this was the best place for me to come."

"I agree." The silver haired man nodded. "Your match against that Bakugou boy was also quite the spectacle."

Tokage noticed the way the boy's hands seemed to tense up at the mention of his fight with Bakugou. She knew it was a bit of a sore spot for him, so she quickly tried to think up a way to change the topic. However, Katsuragi was first to speak.

"Yes, Midoriya-kun did put on a good display. He showcased his talents and performed rather admirably if I do say so myself."

"Word on the street is that Best Jeanist took on that Bakugou boy as an intern. I know he has a track record for reforming troubled youths, but he might have his hands full with that one. Did you see the way had to be chained up like some wild beast?"

"Yes, it was rather unsettling to look at."

Midoriya had to wonder if he was transported to some alternate reality. Were there actually people who didn't approve of Bakugou's behavior? This may have been the first time in his entire life that he's heard an adult not outright praise the boy for simply being amazing. Maybe there was some hope for this world after all.

"The guy's total asshat. Everyone in our class pretty much agrees that Moptop should've won." Tokage smiled at her green haired companion.

All Midoriya could do was blush at what he felt was an undeserved compliment. Prompting the girl to let out a quick laugh at seeing him get flustered.

"S-so, how has your internship been going so far?" The boy deflected.

"Pretty good. Edgeshot gave me a valuable lesson this morning on what to do when it comes to using my quirk in a fight. I already have a couple ideas on how I can improve that I'm itching to try out."

"I'm glad to see that you're taking my lessons to heart and already thinking of ways to apply them."

"What about you guys?"

"Me and Fubuki-san had a sparring match earlier this morning. It was...over pretty quickly. I honestly didn't stand a chance."

"That must've been something to see." Tokage was curious how a match between the two of them would look. Usually, the boy could rely on his flying to stay out of everyone's reach. But based on what she saw earlier, Katsuragi was more than a match for him. In her mind, she imagined some type of aerial battle with random objects flying all over the place.

"Don't sell yourself short Midoriya-kun, you're very talented. The fact that you can fly so expertly at your age is something to be proud of. It's a skill that very few people with quirks like ours can obtain and even then it's not an easy one to master."

"To be honest, he reminds a bit of your older sister. I can still remember her zipping through the air like a rocket while taking down criminals. I doubt that even Hawks could match her in terms of speed." Kamihara joked.

Suddenly, the green haired woman's expression shifted ever so slightly from a smile into a bit a frown. It took a second, but the silver haired man quickly realized his verbal folly and immediately apologized for bringing up the topic up. "I apologize, Blizzard. I know your sister's disappearance must still be hard on you."

You could practically feel the energy in the entire room shift for a brief moment. The two students were well aware of the story behind the heroine in question. Well, lack of story would be a better description. As far as they knew, one day the former number four heroine simply vanished. In the two years since she's been gone, not a single trace of her had been found. There was no doubt in Midoriya's mind that something like that was hard on a family member. Especially since he had an idea of how what kind of effect it could have.

"Don't worry yourself over it." The woman waved off. "But you are correct, if anything Midoriya-kun has the potential to be just as strong as she was. Once he fine tunes his quirk a bit, he'll be a force to be reckoned with."

Hearing that made the boy's heart flutter a little bit. The idea of him being in the same ring as Tornado was almost inconceivable in his mind. But hearing those words come from the person who probably knew her the best forced a bit redness onto his cheeks.

"Oh man, that's some pretty high praise there Moptop."

"I can agree with that assessment. But Tokage-san also has the potential to be a top ranked hero herself. I'm sure that once she finds more uses for her quirk, she'll be trouble for anyone that dares cross her path." Kamihara added while looking to his student.

"Oh stop it, you're gonna make me blush~." The girl feigned embarrassment while silently hoping he would praise her a bit more.

The group spent the next hour chit-chatting and going over their schedule for the remainder of the week. Once things were finally set in stone, Kamihara and Tokage decided to take their leave so that they could get an early start on the next day. But before their departure, the girl took the opportunity to have one last conversation with her friend.

"I'm totally looking forward to tomorrow partner!" She said with a toothy smirk while throwing an arm over his shoulder.

"Y-yeah."

"I wanted to hang out with you a bit more and now we get the chance to work together for the rest of the week. Isn't that sweet?"

"Yeah, you're right. It'll be good to be around a classmate during the week."

"And you get the pleasure of being my personal mode of transportation, isn't that great...I-zu-ku?" She further teased by doing her best Kayama impersonation and adding a slight bit of sultriness into her voice. Tokage was quick to notice the confused look on his face at hearing her call him by his first name and gave a quick giggle. "What? I call all my friends by their first names. Or do you actually prefer "Moptop"?"

"You...really think of me as a friend?" He whispered in a weird tone. Somewhere between shock and confusion.

"Why wouldn't I? We've already hung out and you're a pretty cool guy." Was her reply. Admittedly, she was a bit surprised at hearing that. She knew the guy didn't have a lot of friends but it wasn't that weird was it?

"Oh…"

"I swear, one of these days I'll get you to come out of that shell of your's. The whole "mystery boy" shtick is cool and all, but you're way too cute for that."

Midoriya's face quickly heated up and Tokage had to stop herself from passing out with how hard she started laughing. Eventually the girl and her mentor made their exit, leaving the boy to re-wire his brain after once again being on the receiving end of her teasing.

"She seems really into you." Katsuragi suddenly said, causing the boy to remember that the woman was still behind him.

"S-s-she' just m-messing around." He quickly retorted while turning away from the woman.

"I'm not too sure about that."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh nothing…" The woman said while trying to suppress a smile. "I suggest you hurry and get some rest. We're starting your training bright and early tomorrow morning."

"What are going to do?"

"We're going to work on your control. I noticed a few things while you were helping me out with the recovery operation and we should address them as soon as possible. So be prepared." Was all she told him before turning around and making her way towards the elevator.

"Yes, ma'am!" The boy gave her a polite boy.

Midoriya had no clue what was instore for him tomorrow morning. But he had a sneaking suspicion that he wasn't going to enjoy whatever his mentor had planned.

For those of you that want to know what Midoriya's new helmet looks like, it's pretty much the same as the one that the Red Hood (Jason Todd) from DC Comics wears. Except the colors are different.
