Chapter 24: Internships 3
After getting changed into my hero costume and revelling in the comfort difference between it and the UA uniform I made my way back to the training room.
Waiting for me was a Ryukyu who was trying to get Nejire to understand the definition of personal space. With my new change of clothes, I got the attention of everyone in the room with Nejire saying "It really suits you, though I thought your costume would've been more flashy" while do circles around me.
"She's right you know, most heroes with fire type quirk tend to make their costumes stand out" Ryukyu pointed out while nodding her head at Nejire's opinion.
Thinking about the likes of endeavour, I could only agree with her. The man literally lights his costume on fire and walks around in it all day, even though his weakness is the risk of overheating. I'm sure such a small fire wouldn't make that big a difference, though would it not be better wearing a costume that cools you down?
"There's not much else for me to show you so we'll just be waiting around here for a call out. Anything you specific you want to ask me?"
"Not really"
I can get a god look at how an agency works over the week, so there's no need to ask about that. In fact there is something I need.
"Can I borrow something to fly on?" I asked
"Oh right, like you done during the obstacle course. Sure, you can take one of the spare barbells over there if you want, and maybe after work we can all go a fly together." Ryukyu offered while pointing at a corner filled with weight lifting equipment.
"Yea definitely, flying around the cities so much fun" Closing the distance once again Nejire continued "You once, Ryukyu even let me ride on her back once, it was so much fun".
Just before Ryukyu was about to say something, one of the office employees came running into the training room.
"There's been a robbery in the city! A group of 4 villains are currently making a get away" shouted the man.
"Looks like you'll be seeing us in action already Shinmon" Ryukyu informed me before turning to the others, "Nejire, Kūki your with me, we'll take this one. Shinmon keep up"
The four of us ran out the training door exit onto the side streets, once there was enough space Ryukyu used her quirk and transformed into a Dragon. As she took off Nejire and Kūki followed in her trail each using their quirks to fly though the air.
Nejire used some sort of spiralling yellow energy that came from her feet to propel herself up, while Kūki the masked sidekick jumped on what looked to be a solid piece of air. It would've been difficult to see if it weren't for a visible gusts of air that wisped their way around it, once on top Kūki used the platform to case after the two of them.
Now wanting to be left behind I turned the barbell I took before leaving and turned it into a flaming piece of transportation, quickly using a strong amount of thrust I caught up to them in no time as we flew across the city to catch the robbers.
After a brief period of flying we caught sight of our targets, they were in a grey jeep with a truck bed loaded with bags of cash. Three of then were in the back with money, each ine using their quirks to try and get the police of their tail.
Ryukyu informed her team "That's them down there making their get away. I'll land in front of the jeep and block their escape, Nejire you hit them with your quirk, Kūki keep the police safe, make sure none of them get used as a hostage"
"Sure thing" Nejire chirped while Kūki just nodded.
"Shinmon, you're not supposed to get invokved and use your quirk against the villains, but if you see someone about to get injured your free to help them." She explained to me.
That's the only crap thing about these Internships, since none of us have a hero license we're technically not allowed to use our quirk against others. That's the reason vigilantes always end up neck deep in shit if they get caught. Some heroes don't mind vigilantes but the Hero Safety Commission definitely do, some nonsense about how it would be chaos if everyone started to use their quirks on others while being untrained. But these same people can't even give certain areas enough heroes to keep the inhabitants safe, and then expect them to roll over every time a villain attacks.
*sigh*
This means for the rest of the week I'll probably be reduced to nothing more than damage control, but I already knew what I was in for so these no point in complaining.
The team of three swooped down on top of the escaping robbers with well practiced movements.
Ryukyu landed the grace in front of the escaping jeep, making sure not to destroy any of the surroundings with her massive body. The sight of the number 9 hero caused the driver to slam his foot on the breaks, nearly throwing his team off the back of the vehicle along with the money.
Just when he was about to turn and go a different direction Nejire hit them with one of her energy attacks. The spiralling wave of energy clashed against the car, flipping it and throwing the three in the back onto the road.
At this point the man in the truck was unconscious behind the jeeps wheel, the other three decided to ditch the money so they could escape quicker. Sprinting for a nearby alleyway another one of them were knocked out from Nejire's attack.
With the blue haired girl right behind them, the two robber turned to attack. Using their quirks, the smaller off the two spat some kind of gunky ball from his mouth, the disgusting looking projective headed straight at Nejire who adeptly avoided the shot.
The other well built man with a sharp, almost point like nose had a completely different quirk compared to his accomplice. As Nejire was occupied with avoiding goon 1's attack goon 2's nose started to rapidly extend from his skull, the mans sharp nose cut through the air and headed straight for the third years torso.
Sadly the two low level villains were no match for Nejire, as soon as the man nose-knife began to extend she lifted herself higher into the air, avoiding the gunk shots on her ascent. Once she was above the two villains she unleashed a named attack.
With both hands aimed at the villains Nejire shouted "Mini-Nejire Wave!" and blasted both of them with a high powered attack. The golden waves she produced slammed the robbers against the ground and cracking the road that surrounded them.
Nice takedown, a bit on the heavy side though. The roads pretty roughed up, that means they'll have to call someone in to fix it, all though I doubt Ryukyu's agency will have to pay for the damages directly the money needs to come from somewhere. Although if it's coming from the Safety Commission's pocket it's all good.
With all the Villains neutralized, the police came in to tie up the robbers and after thanking the girls for their stuffed the villains in an armoured van before wheeling them away.
That just left us four to head back to the agency and wait for another call out. While we were walking Ryukyu ran through everything Nejire done right and wrong.
"Great work back their Nejire, me and Kūki never even had to help you. Even so you could've put less power into that last attack, those villains never had a physical augmenting quirk and would've went down with a lesser blast. Plus the road wouldn't have been destroyed"
Making a pouty face Nejire replied "I know, I know it won't happen next time"
While the Ryukyu gave Nejire pointers, the masked lady known as Kūki asked "So how'd you like your first taste of seeing the pro's in action?"
Turning my eyes to her I say honestly "It was alright, but it was quite boring just watching"
Not taking any offense to my answer she explained "Better get used to it, it's actually surprising that those villains even tried to fight back. Normally the ones we get around here give up as soon as they see Ryukyu"
"That's not really surprising, I doubt many people would want to try fighting her" I responded.
"Still even if you can't fight, it's good to watch a pro doing their job. Internships give you an idea of what it's really like being a hero and let's you decide if it's something you want to pursue as a career" She commented.
Not long after we arrived back at the agency where we proceeded to idle around while waiting for something to happen.
