Endeavor Agency

The picking names session ended with Midnight tiredly refusing Bakugo's name of ' Lord Explosion Murder'. Aizawe then passed them their lists of offers while the rest were to pick from 40 hero agencies that were to accept UA students.

As Aizawa and Midnight left around the lunch break, Sora skimmed quickly through her list so she could think about her choices. Her eyes then fell upon a certain agency name and her heart did a summersault. That person extended an offer for me? Why?

She shook her head. Now isn't the time to wonder why. This is a chance. Her eyes wandered over to her friend momentously before standing up and going to his side. " Do you have a clear choice?" She asked.

Yuu looked at her and then back at his list. " I think I've got one." His ears perked up when he heard Uraraka and the rest discussing a few seats in front of him, Uraraka saying she was going to the Battle Hero: Gunhead's agency.

Yuu blinked and joined them just as they were discussing the air chair training much to a certain ash blond's annoyance. " Uraraka-san..." He called her, to which she turned back to him. " You're going to Gunhead's agency?"

" Right. As I said, I need more training myself!" She said punching the air in front of her.

" Actually, Yuu was thinking about the same agency too," Whisper stated which surprised both her and Sora.

" Eh? Yuu? I thought you would rather join a rescue specialized agency?" Sora was troubled about his choice.

" It's as Uraraka-san said, I don't want to rely much on my spirits. I want to be able to do things on my own if push comes to shove." He was determined as he looked at his list.

Uraraka smiled at him. She could relate to his feelings. " Alright, let's do our best together, Seijin-kun!" She said pumping a fist up. Yuu looked back at her and nodded with a gentle smile.

I was worried about him after the sports festival but it seems he is moving forward already. Sora smiled, relieved.

The sky had cleared up by the end of classes. Sora took in the beautiful orange color of the sunset as she walked back to her class from the teachers' office. She had already submitted her internship papers.

" Sora-chan!" Uraraka waved at her from the staircase. She could see Midoriya and Yuu by her side, the latter holding her cyan bag for her.

However, the lack of blue hair worried her. " Where is Iida-kun?" She asked taking her bag thankfully.

" Wasn't he in the teachers' office?" Whisper asked. " We know he went ahead to submit his papers."

Sora shook her head. " I didn't run into him at all."

Midoriya thought about it for a moment. " Let's check his shoe locker."

With that, he went for the small case with Iida's name, finding his indoor shoes neatly placed in there. " Did Iida-kun go home before us?" Uraraka asked seeing the expression on his face.

" Yeah." He closed the locker.

" That's strange," Whisper wondered, concerned about the boy.

" Guess, he still needs some time after all. Let's give him some space for now," Sora told them. They nodded and headed to the station in silence, oblivious to what fate was hiding for them.

________________

Aizawa escorted them to the station on the very first day of their internship, reminding them to behave and not wear their costumes in public. While he was giving them some last-minute advices, Sora shifted uncomfortably in her spot before turning to Todoroki. " We ended up going to the same agency." She was rather feeling awkward around him and his lack of expressions made it all worse.

" Ah, let's work hard together," he simply stated. Sora blinked at his aura. It was calmer than before and somehow gentle. She recalled Yuu's words about him being a kind person.

His aura feels warm and soothing. She couldn't resist the smile that played with her lips and answered enthusiastically. " Yes!"

Their eyes then wandered off to a certain blunette as he left the group. " Excuse me," she said rushing to him along with her other friends.

" Iida-kun !" He stopped at Midoriya's call, but didn't face them at all. " If you ever feel hopeless, make sure you let us know." Uraraka bobbed her head multiple times to agree with him. " We're friends, right?"

" We will be always there when you need us," Sora insisted.

" You don't have to bear things on your own," added Yuu.

Iida looked back at them, smiling. " Yeah."

But as they watched him walk away with aching hearts, Whisper narrowed his eyes. " That soldier... Is driven by his anger," he whispered.

Sora couldn't help but feel afraid of his aura that was growing darker by the day. " Iida-kun..."

________________

This is already our first day... Thought Yuu as he had to put his costume on upon arrival and join Gunhead in a patrol along with Uraraka.

" Basic hero duties involve controlling crime, see?" Gunhead explained to them as they walked through a shopping district. " When a crime occurs, the police will contact heroes for support. The requests will come all at once by district, see? We file reports on the service we provided, like assisting with arrests or rescuing people, to the government office. And then, we receive pay based on an examination conducted by a special agency. We usually get a percentage."

Uraraka marveled at how cute his way of talking was while Yuu dived into the hood of his cloak with Whisper trying to pull it off.

" I've been wondering about it..." He muttered, finally pulling down the hood of Yuu's head. " But are you allowed to have other jobs? I've seen heroes working as models sometimes."

" Yes, we do. Well, I kind of don't need another job, but some are willing to get one," he pointed.

" Is that alright?" Uraraka asked.

" Some people still disapprove of it, but as long as heroes get their job done, I think it's fine," Gunhead answered and then pointed past the two. " Now you've just made a mistake, you noticed?"

" Eh?" They all reared their heads and saw a man running away with an old woman's bag. " A ransacking!"

" While you were focusing on talking to me, you didn't notice that mugger." Gunhead sprang in between them and leaped on the thief, pinning him to the ground while pulling back his arm, forcing him to drop the bag all at once.

" Amazing... It's like Sora's moves..." Yuu blinked.

Gunhead returned the bag to the old lady who thanked him profusely. After shackling the burglar, Gunhead turned to the two with a wiggling finger. " You two should be more careful. It's the smallest detail that could make the difference between capturing a villain and letting him escape. You should be vigilant. Got it."

" His way of talking is cute," Uraraka whispered to her friend.

" Yeah." Yuu agreed.

The sun began to set by the time they reached Endeavor's agency. It was a long journey on the train with Todoroki in which they exchanged very few words. However, she discovered he likes Soba, the type that's not hot. It's a start. She thought.

" I have been waiting for you, Shoto." Endeavor greeted once they stepped into his own office, completely ignoring her presence. " It seems you are finally ready to take the path of the mighty, huh?"

As both had a very familial conversation, she busied herself with admiring the office. It was quite large and empty seeing that the only furniture there were a gorgeous tapestry and armchairs in the middle for visitors with a chandelier over them. His own desk was at the very end of the office with one painting mounted on the wall behind it.

" And you, Shirogane Sora." She jolted when she was addressed, realizing she had been spacing out for too long. " I've extended an offer because of your Quirk. I would like to see it in action with my own eyes."

Her eyes widened slightly before she managed to hide that. " You've heard about it I presume."

" As a matter of fact, yeah. It's a tad interesting, to be honest."

Todorki glanced back at the girl from the corner of his eyes as she put a steady front. " Alright, I will be giving you what you want. In exchange, there is a favor I want to ask for."

" That remains to be seen." He stood up. " You two should get ready. We're going out."

" Where?" The boy asked.

" I'll show you what a hero is."

Sora collapsed on her bed the moment she reached the agency's dorm, rather irritated and tired all the same. " He didn't bother teaching me anything! All he was concerned about is Shoto this... Shoto that..."

She started plucking the feathers on her arms and the ones that grew within her hair. " And what's with his incredible speed? We can hardly catch up with him."

She looked down at her hands. He really just intends to know about our Quirk that's all. She plopped herself down on the bed. " I'm too tired I don't even feel hungry..." She pushed her face further into the pillow. " I didn't... Tell him about it... I will tell him tomorrow..."
