36 Chapter 34

The next day...

I had told Mom about my internship in Hosu city, She complained lightheartedly saying that I should have gotten one near our house. I left home to get to the train station with my Hero costume and a huge double-layered bento box full of stuffed Onigiris.

20 minutes later...

"You all have your costumes right? Remember you aren't allowed to wear them in public, unless you are with your hero-in-charge. So don't go dropping them off somewhere ya' hear?" Aizawa was standing before the gathered students of Class 1-A in the train station.

"Make sure you mind your manners with the heroes at your internships. Okay! Off with you!" He said before giving me a small nod and leaving. I had already left by the time the group started to dispersed and boarded my train in the next platform going to Hosu City.

"Haaaaaa..." I let out a deep breath out. I was tailing Four-eyes by flying from rooftop to rooftop using <float>. During the first two hours of tailing I had started with just jumping using <one for all>, but I realized I was cracking and damaging the places I jump from.

So I started using <float> and started slowly gliding from one building to another. But after almost three hours I got the hang of it. Now I can just hover in place or move in any direction, even if I'm facing a different direction. Although a little slower than <flight> it makes up for it through the versatility and increased maneuverability.

I was still in my ANBU armour which I started to like more than the standard Jounin armour. This time I had a for mask made for me, now on the side of my face and made the colour to a dull blood red. I was looking down at the city from the tallest building I climbed earlier. My legs dangling over the edge, shaking to the sounds of the music in my headphones, I was enjoying the Onigiris mom had made for me.

I was halfway through the first layer when I sensed someone landed soundlessly behind me. I didn't feel any killing intent so I put my half-mask on and just turned around with an Onigiri stuffed in my mouth hmm....pickled herring. I saw who the 'intruder' was.

It was the only other decent Ninja Hero I know of, Edgeshot. He had a weird hairdo but like me had a half-mask to cover his bottom half of his face. He had dark coloured cloths with a red scarf fluttering around, but I had a feeling it was not for aesthetics. He even had an Oni mask on his right shoulder.

The guy did not have a flashy quirk, but damn can he fight. I have seen his videos over and over again, trying to find a pattern to his attacks but to no vail. He doesn't even have a proper fighting style, but the way he uses his quirk <foldabody>, he doesn't need one.

And each of his attacks scream of his experience. Some even underestimate his quirk and that makes him all the more 'Ninja-like' and unpredictable. He just stared at me for a minute and then, "You're in ma' spot" I extend my bento and asked, "You want one?"

----------×----------×----------×----------

I decided to get some sleep after my brief encounter with the No.5 pro hero in Japan. I must say, he was a really nice guy. Not what I expected at all, he seemed so.... normal. I had really nice time talking about various things- from everyday life to ninja techniques.

I even taught the guy all the hand signs I know of(including the Hoshigakure Peacock handsign). I had reached a run down apartment house. I knocked on the door but no one answered. So opened the door to a flying yellow boot hurtling towards my face.

I caught it threw it aside, realizing it was a person... a very small person. The person, revealed to be a very short old man land on the wall and stuck to it. I took a good look and relaxed. White costume, yellow boots and cape, old and a cunning little smile on his face- Gran Torino.

He suddenly sat on the floor, legs sprawled and picking his nose he asked, "Who are you?" "Your Intern." He got up leaning on a stick he pulled from god knows where and asked, "What?" "I'm Monoma Neito from UA."

He gave a pause and asked again, "Who are you?"... *sigh* He is doing it on purpose, well two can play at this game. "Your Intern."

Gran Torino: "Toshinori?"

Me: "No, Monoma Neito."

Gran Torino: "What?"

Me: "Your intern."

Gran Torino: "I want to eat something."

Me: "Then go eat."

Gran Torino: "Get me something to eat."

Me: "What do you want to eat?"

Gran Torino: "Taiyaki, I like sweets."

Me: "Okay, you need anything else?"

Gran Torino: "..."

Gran Torino: "Who are you?"

Me: "Monoma Neito from UA. Your intern."

Gran Torino: "What?"

...

30 minutes later...

"Tch...You're no fun at all are you?" He said walking up the stairs gesturing me to follow. "Can't believe, the ninth holder of <One For All> is such a monster. You're using it pretty similar to Toshinori I see. Hmm.. I don't think I have anything to show you in this internship except what already Toshinori told me to do.

I always thought he would be a bad teacher. Guess I was wrong." I just kept quite not correcting it. All Might sucked at teaching, he just showed me what he would have done and I derived what I wanted from them on my own.

He lead me to my room and gave my a set of spare keys before he left. I removed my armour and changed my clothes to boxers and a sleeveless vest. I couldn't wear anything else comfortable cause there was no A/C and the fan speed was pretty slow. I plopped down on my bed and sleep took me immediately.
