章 23: Internships 2
{A few days later}
Standing outside of the station nearest UA, everyone in class were getting a final lecture from Aizawa on how to behave during the Internships.
"Make sure you mind your manners with the other heroes during your internship. Now get to it" He said shooing us away.
"Yes sir!" the class replied.
Everyone split up and went their sperate ways to find their respective agencies. We had to make our own way there, but UA covered the cost for the transport fees so it wasn't that bad. They also gave us our hero costumes to wear if the agency allows us to use them.
Leaving the main group I followed the signs that led me to the train I needed to take. Getting on I proceeded to make myself comfortable for the hour long ride
--------------------
Walking through Yokohama near the Chinatown area, I stopped in front of a large office building with a brown façade and dark glass windows. What stood out the most was the massive billboard advertising the Dragnoir brand.
After double checking to make sure this was the right place I entered the agency. The inside had a red dominant colour scheme that worked well with the overall Chinese style architecture, there was two golden coiling dragon statues on each side of the receptionist desk which really made it stand out to people who came in.
Standing at the desk I said to the lady "I'm here for my internship".
"Oh, your the first year from UA. Please take a seat in the waiting area, I'll notify the boss of your arrival" She said with a smile.
Sitting down in a peaceful looking room that had a medium sized Chinese coffee table. On the table was all the stuff needed to make yourself a refreshment, so putting my costume briefcase to the side I started to make myself a coffee.
A few minutes later, while I was sipping my refreshment a voice called out to me, "Is the coffee to your liking?"
Finishing my drink I turn to see the Dragon Hero Ryukyu watching over me. She was wearing her usual hero outfit consisting of a traditional dark red qipao with slits down both sides that reached up to the top of her milky white thighs and decorated with yellow claw mark on both the front and neck area. Her qipao was worn with knee high black boots and a strap that was tied around her exposed thigh, as well as sleeve-like white gloves that nearly went up to her shoulders. A green scaled headband was connected to a set of miniature black dragon wings that contrasted with her short blonde hair, as well as the metallic claws that covered the right side of her face.
"It's good stuff" I tell her while picking up my brief case.
"I see you've got good taste. Why don't you come with me and I'll give you a tour of my agency" Ryukyu said.
Following behind her we left the reception area, going past several doors we ended up in a room filled with computers, phones and people. Compared to the quiet reception this room was filled with noise, people we rushing around trying to do their jobs but every time they saw Ryukyu they made sure to give her a respectful bow.
Turning to me she says "This is the main office space, everyone here takes calls and reports on any Villainous activity in the area and sorts them into sub groups. Then that information gets relayed to my side kicks, which ever one's are the most suited to the mission get to go."
"Let go check on them just now" she said as we moved to another room nearby
The large doors gave way to a wide, open space with training equipment and sparring areas. The ceiling was abnormally high but overall it just looked like a high quality training room.
A bunch of heroes with their costumes on were using the rooms equipment, while others sat around the tables in the lounge. There was vending machines that dispensed all types of food and drink, so there was a group of heroes idling away while munching on some snacks.
Another think I noticed was that their was hardly any males around. Not that there wasn't any at all but it was around a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
"This is the training room, most of the time my sidekick wait in here for call outs or get training in once their shift is over. Either way this place is always lively, and you're bound to spend a lot of time here during the internship so trying getting along with everyone"
As Ryukyu was telling me about the training room, a girl with light blue hair done up in spiral fashion hovered over to us using what I'm guessing is her quirk.
"Aren't you the guy who won the first year sports festival? Are you interning here? Ryukyu how could you not tell me someone from UA was coming? How do your eyes work? Can you see properly out them?" The girl asked rapidly.
Saving me from the near endless flurry of of questions was Ryukyu, "Nejire calm down a bit will you. I never told you since I thought you liked surprises" she explained.
"Oh yea I do love surprises, thanks Ryukyu!" Nejire blinked before diving and wrapping her arms around her boss.
What a weird dynamic they've got going on here, if you seen them you'd think they're sisters not boss and employee.
Letting go of Ryukyu, Nejire began introducing me "Hi I'm Nejire Hado, I'm interning here same as you. Oh and I'm in the 3rd year hero course at UA so that makes me your senior" She greeted me in a bubbly fashion.
"Not to be rude but I'm also curious about your eyes. Is your vision altered in any way because of them." Ryukyu added curiously
"I had 20/20 vision last time I checked" I replied.
Placing her hand on her chin Ryukyu said "Interesting, they must work on completely different mechanisms to see compared to a normal set of eyes. As you can see I don't have a run of the mill pair either, they actually let me see in the cat similar to how a cat would" she explained.
There's something you don't see everyday, a person with a quirk that liberally allows them to transform into a dragon comparing themselves to a cat. I guess she didn't get any dragon-like personality traits, in all the stories Hibachi told me Dragons were already arrogant in one form or another. His stories were always terrible.
"What?! You never told me that" Nejire gasped as her eyes widened.
Lightly laughing Ryukyu replies "You never asked about them"
"But Shinmon never asked either" she moaned while pointing at me.
"Well were we already on the subject..." While the both went off on a tangent a hand clapped down on my shoulder.
"You'll get used to it, they two are always like this" a woman with a mask and light grey hair told me.
Hearing what her sidekick said, a light blush marred the dragon hero's cheeks. Coughing to end the conversation with Nejire she tells me "Why don't you go and get changed into your Costume, I can tell your not a fan of the UA uniform anyway"
She right about that, and the state my clothes are in just now makes the point clear, although the hour long train ride did make it look worse than usual.
After getting directions for the changing rooms, I went for a quick change of attire to start my term as an intern at Ryukyu's agency.
