Internships 5

As I was about to leave for the train home, Ryukyu called out to me "Shinmon where are you going?"

"The train station?" I responded slightly confused.

"What you going there for? Me and Nejire's going to Asakusa anyway, just fly with us" Ryukyu said while pointing at Nejire who could barely control her excitement.

Damn I want a provisional license already, it would make getting to school so much easier. Plus I wouldn't need to pay train fairs, think of all the money I could save.

"Can I take the barbell with me?" I asked.

Pulling Nejire next to her before she could run away she points out "It's only a barbell, you can even keep it if you want. There's plenty in the gym anyway"

"Come on Ryukyu let me go already" Nejire complained while trying to get out of her captors grip.

Shaking her head Ryukyu tells the hyperactive girl "How are you supposed to go when you don't even know which direction to fly in?" which made Nejire blank out for a moment.

"Oh yea, never really thought about that" She said while giggling at her own actions. Snapping her head in my direction she states "Shinmon show us the way, I really want to see all the cool houses they have there"

"You heard Nejire, mind if we follow your lead?" Ryukyu questioned.

"Sure, it wont be that long since we're flying" I said while igniting my ride.

As I took a seat on the flaming barbell, smoke burst out from Ryukyu as she transformed into her dragon form surprising some of the nearby citizens that were passing by the agency. Nejire was already floating since she realised I knew way there, so without further ado we took to the skies.

It was quite the experience flying above the brightly lit city during the night. The contrast between the lights below and the darkness above made for a stunning view that would normally be reserved for those in flying vehicles.

Most of all it felt great just flying around unobstructed, it really gives you a sense of freedom that's difficult to replicate. I've hardly ever been able to fly around like this, even in Asakusa. This is due to the nature of how I fly.

Lets just say it's not difficult for people to notice an object blazing around in the sky, and when that objects unfamiliar to them, you can bet they notify the heroes. So to avoid having the heroes called on me, I limit myself to fly low to the ground and only in Asakusa where I know no one with bother.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself" The large dragon said as she flew next to me. The clothes that she was wearing previously magically stretched out to fit her bigger frame which gave the dragon quite a funny look, but I guess it's better than the clothes ripping and going around in the buff transformed. Especially since her assets still exist as a dragon, and going around flashing everyone in sight isn't the best publicity for a pro hero. Never mind the problems she'd have when cancelling the transformation.

"It difficult not to enjoy this Ryukyu, it's not like I get the chance fly around this freely every day" I responded while hanging upside-down from the barbell.

"It is a nice feeling flying above everything, thought you don't need to call me Ryukyu when I'm not working. Just call me Tatsuma, or Ryuko if your feeling bold" She said.

"Alright Ryuko" I replied using her first name.

Nejire then flew in front of us both and said "I still prefer Ryukyu, her names just so cool" while wiggling around mid air.

I've never really been one for hero names, I suppose it's something I'll have to get used to. Still I refuse to even whisper Aoyama's name, that monstrosity should be kept far away as possible from people lips.

"Honestly I'm quite surprised that you decided to take you internship at my agency, after your display in the sports festival you must've had offer for some of the Heroes ranked above me." Ryuko humbly stated.

Narrowly dodging Nejire who flew right in front of me I replied "I never actual got many offers from the top ten heroes. Out of the ten it was only You and Mirko who put in offers"

"That's surprising I thought they'd be interested in you, especially Endeavour. He's even got his own team of sidekicks with fire type quirks" She said slightly shocked that I never got an offer from the flame hero.

"Endeavour seems like an ass though. He's probably not happy I beat his kid in the tournament" I sighed

I hope Todoroki's alright, he went to work at his dad agency for the week, and I wouldn't be surprised if Endeavours kicking him into shape. I doubt that he was happy about his son not getting 1st place.

"Your not wrong there, Endeavour doesn't have the most likeable temperament. Every time I've met him he's always been angry for some reason or another. You know, when that Todoroki kid started using his fire, it was the first time I've ever seen him smile and that's including all his tv appearances" Ryuko lamented about the constant scowl that appears to be stuck on her colleagues countenance.

"Why am I not surprised" I said thinking about the number 2 hero.

"What about Mirko, she's usually not one to give out offers. With the combat skills she has, you might've missed an opportunity not interning under her" Ryuko commented

"Sounds like you wanted me to pick her instead of you" I said making Ryukyu shake her scaled head.

"Of course not, I'm glad to have you here. It's just that I can't teach you much in the way of skills since we have vastly different quirks." she pointed out.

"I never expected you to teach me anything combat wise while I was here. I only wanted to get a better look at one of Japans top agency's, something that Mirko doesn't have since she works solo" I explained.

Now understanding why I choose her, Ryuko comprehended the underlying reason for my decision she asks "I take it that you want to open an agency in the future then"

Nejire pipes in saying "A hero agency! You seem too laid back to boss other people around"

Ignoring the remark from Nejire I reply "One in Asakusa, there's no agencies near it anyway so it shouldn't cause any problems"

Before we could go further with the conversation I pointed out "We're here, I'm going to stop for a meal. Do you two want to come as well?"

The two of them look at eat other before mutually agreeing to come. With that settled we descended to the ground outside Konro's soba shop. Before landing Ryuko had to transform back from her Dragon form, I went in first while Nejire waited for her boss.

As soon as I walked in Konro called out to me "Someone's back early, give me a minute and I'll whip you up a bowl"

Passing by the tables and getting greetings from everyone inside I made it to the barstool seats right in front of the kitchen where Hinata and Hikage where also sitting. While making the noodles Konro asked "What'd you fly in for, it unlike you to-" but was cut short when he seen the figures that entered into his establishment.

The sight of the number 9 hero entering was enough to shut everyone up, it was so quiet you could you could hear peoples gulps of nervousness. All the eyes on her made Ryuko blush whereas Nejire just acted like her usual curious self, already fascinated at the interesting physical attributes of the people inside.

Grabbing my collar and pulling me over the counter Konro whispers in a serious voice "What have I told you about using your quirk in front of others? Look who you've brought in now, if she goes full on dragon mode my place is done for!" as the sweat came running down his face.

Seeing Konro freak out at the presence of a hero, the twins began poking jabs at him.

"Hinata, Konro's acting weird again" pointing at that nervous shop owner.

"Just ignore it Hikage, It's probably because he's getting old" patting her sisters shoulder and shaking her head.

This snapped Konro out of his panicked state as he incredulously said "I've not even got grey hair yet and you two are calling me old"

"You'll end up with some soon if you don't calm it." using my thumb to point at the two approaching ladies I explained "I'm interning under Ryukyu for the week, they wanted to see Asakusa so we flew over. So you can relax I'm not getting arrested or anything."

Deadpanning for a moment Konro then heavily pats my back while saying "Why didn't you just say so from the start" making a tick mark appear on my forehead.

With a smile on his face he gestures at the open seats next to me "Welcome to this fine establishment, please have a seat and I'll get to cooking your meal"

Nejire caught sight of the twins and immediately rushed over and squeezed their heads within her bosom, "You two are just so cute!" she chirped.

"Can't. Breathe" Hinata choked.

"Need. Air" Hikage added.

Seeing the twins finally meet their match, I toyed with the idea of using Nejire's hugs to threaten them into behaving, when Ryuko sat next to me.

"So many options, I don't know what to pick" She said while looking at the menu Konro laid out for them.

"What about getting this" I said while eating the freshly made bowl of soba.

"Oh it smells great, I'll have a bowl of that please" She told Konro.

"Nejire what about you?" Ryuko asked Nejire who was still tormenting the twins.

"Get me the same" she answered as the twins managed to break free for the hug.

"Make that two then" She ordered as Konro got to making their food.

It wasn't long before both Ryuko and Nejire were smitten by the meal, even going as far to order seconds... and thirds just to savour the flavour for longer. By the time they were finished Nejire could barely move and hand to resort to using her quirk to float around, Ryuko was alright though, turns out she's got a dragon like appetite in her human form.

Pulling out his camera, Konro asks the pro hero, "Why don't I take a photo of you five to commemorate your first sitting?"

With a raised eyebrow I reply "You just want something that'll bring in extra customers don't you?".

"How could I even think of that, all I'll doing is trying to attend to my customers wants" He said with enthusiasm.

"I don't mind, what about you Nejire?" she asked the blur haired girl.

"A photo, sure! along as I get to stand next to these two cuties" She said looking at the twins which sent shivers down the identical couples spines.

With everyone in agreement, bar the twin who were forced into place by Nejire, Konro asked a middle aged lady with green leaf-like hair to take the picture while he jumped in next to me. After his failed attempts at making me smile, the lady called Toma snapped the photo signifying the first of many visits from both Ryuko and Nejire.
