Chapter 51: Internships (4)
~Ren Y. POV~
[Hiroshima, Forrest, Mirko's Place, Japan]
[Ding!]
[HP and PP have been fully restored!]
Groaning lightly, seeing that I've woken up, I find myself in an unfamiliar room. It had a bamboo vibe, inspecting my surroundings.
I felt a light pain in my head, rubbing it down using [Massage] to make the headache go away as I mumbled out loud, "That woman doesn't know the meaning of restraint. Or she's straight-up pity."
Feeling the pain go away I took a glance at the room looking barebones with little bits of furniture looking to be a traditional Japanese room primarily comprised of wood and bamboo. Complete with sliding bamboo doors and tatami mat flooring.
Rising to my feet, I slid open the nearest bamboo door, leading to a hallway lit up with a wooden floor with little lightning. Don't know how long I've been out for, but I checked my phone from my [Sub-Space].
Hmm… about 1 hour. I guess the damage I took from that bloody bitch bonking me on the head made me knocked out, letting my guard down.
Sigh… shaking my head, I began to search around the place, trying to find Mirko. But I didn't get to do much searching as, having been stirring around, she emerged from the opposite end of the hallway, remarking in a smug tone, "You recover quickly. After that last blow to the head, I expected you to be knocked out cold for an entire day."
I blankly replied with a deadpan expression written all over my face and responded curtly, "I'm sure it wasn't because you slugged me when the timer beeped having my guard down."
She only grinned, showing no signs of guilt as she bluntly responded with an eager grin on her face, "Ha! That sounds like a major skill issue dodging to me, brat! But anyway, I'll show you a quick tour. After that, I imagine you're hungry, right?"
Curtly nodding my head, Mirko turned around and began giving me a show of her place. Her place was a traditional-style home with a modern training gym. Even seeing a carrot patch I didn't question her.
Soon enough, she guided me to the kitchen attached to the dining room, along with a variety of well-prepared dishes. I smiled as I spoke, complimenting her taste, "Oh? I can see some of these dishes are good quality. I suppose it makes sense considering how you cultivate your muscles, not lacking in the nutrition department."
She grinned with a light, not punctuating her words with a slap to her thighs, showing her health in a proud tone, "Damn straight! You don't cultivate these bad girls without eating right and healthy! A carrot a day will keep the villains away, I say."
I chuckled at her joke, asking for the obvious as she bluntly responded with her rabbit ears flickering, "Why do you need my permission? Start eating, and then answer my questions while you do."
Picking up the provided chopsticks, I began to engorge the prepared dishes, tasting the vegetables with Mirko speaking in a curious tone, "Good. A strong appetite is a sign of good health, but my first question… why you chose to intern with me."
She soon pointed at me with a stern expression as she spoke in a serious tone, eyes narrowed at me, "And don't try to lie to me. Even if O'Clock mentioned to intern you, I'll kick your ass if you try."
Nodding my head, I responded in an honest tone about what I thought were the reasons why I chose her to intern, "Other than your super-hot, you would be likely to help me push me to my limits. And while I'm at it, be able to create a fighting style never seen yet to be created with someone like you pushing my limits."
She stared at me before laughing out loud at my honesty, wiping a tear off her face and asking curiously, "HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh man, the old man was right You are reckless as you are blunt as all hell!! But at least I know what I'm working with here."
Stretching her arms I saw a mischievous smirk on her face. What the hell is this crazy woman thinking about now?
Stretching her body and making a light groan she asked about the Sports Festival leaning closer in a charismatic tone, "I saw your performance at the Sports Festival, oh, your quick thinking and stubbornness made my heart flutter. But that's not enough! I'm gonna turn a weakling like you into a superhero!"
Grabbing me by the collar she had a sinister expression with a grin on her face speaking in a determined tone, "Pump up your energy, and let's get started! Or you wanna tell me you can't because of that little boo boo."
I felt my eyes twitch getting my Hero Suit prepared in a defiant tone getting looked down upon by her, "Oh yeah?!! I can keep up with you crazy hare! I'll show you that'll keep up with you – Ow!"
*SMACK*
Landing a punch to the face Mirko scolded me for my outburst in no bullshit tone from her stern voice, "Relax kiddo. As we sit and argue villains could be running amok in my territory. Get changed over and chase after me if you want, but it would be better to stay here and focus on recovering. We're doing daily fighting first thing tomorrow morning."
*BOOOM*
Already outside she left without warning as she abruptly squatted low before kicking off against the ground with tremendous force. I had to cover my face to shield it from the dust and debris she kicked up.
Oh, if she thought she could get away from this she's sorely underestimating me. Taking off my workout clothes and putting on my hero suit I could only curse that it'll take fucking time for me to get dressed.
No. That shit ends and with me sending the command to my clone interning with Power Loader developing a suit on the fly is a must – no.
Sigh… taking the moment to exhale and calm down. Take a small breather and take a chill pill there… whew…
Take a moment to relax rubbing my temple. I got merely overreactive there.
I knew that by taking her internship, I would deal with this kind of attitude. But out of all the Pro Heroes who could help me train in close-range combat and push me without batting an eyelash on me, it would be her.
There was an offer from Edgeshot, but I chose her I need to make this work. I need to train as much as I can and I think I know how to make the progress go faster now… I have the stat points to make it work.
Time to boost my stats into the 50-peak range. I can pick at least 4 of them. Picking my stats and choosing which ones to fill up, I grinned, probably overdoing it, but I can't stay this weak during this week when the Hosu Incident occurs.
Pooling up my stat points, I placed them to where I'll get my boost, and also, thanks to training with Mirko, my SEN and AGI stats improved greatly. It helps me save some spare stats for later in the future… but at the rate I'm going I might just spend all for some extra protection in LUCK.
Now then…
Status.

Whoa…!
Suddenly everything went into overdrive as I felt the great changes in my body as well as an immediate understanding of my organs going for a drastic change. Taking the time to adjust and sniff a bit I was a bit shocked at how my body proceeded Mirko's scent of each along with peak vision made things look and sound better for me to adjust.
Oh, this is so going to be handy in the near future. So handy indeed. I should take this time to adjust to the new changes and proceed with developing my [Electro Mastery] and a few others should be possible…
I simply need to rethink how to create them. With [OFA], it would be an easy feat, and with my boost in stats, I feel like I could pull it off, but I need to begin practicing what I can and can't do…
Time to experiment with what I can do. Let's see…
