Chapter 27 - Work studies!

A/N: Happy New Year! sorry for not uploading for a year hehe... ill see myself out

Staring at the crowd with complete silence I started to doubt maybe they didn't get it...

"It's a good name... right?" I asked nervously

"Isn't it just 'Tempest'? Is that even a hero name?" Shoji asked while tilting his head...

Tears started to form around my eyes, My class is heartless

"I think it's alright" Tsuyu raised her finger with her expressionless expression, like a shine to light my world.

'Thank you' I wiped the tears and began to make my way to my seat.

"That name is trash! your naming sense is nonexistent Bastard!" Bakugo suddenly snapped, slamming his hands on his table and making the whiteboard and marker fall off his table.

I furrowed my brows but decided ignoring him would be a better option, I'd like to keep my 'good guy points' to a maximum, one's publicity is important after all! I learned that from the mistakes of their future selves hehe.

"Why aren't you answering bastard? are you afraid I'll beat you when I surpass All Might huh? Shorty!" however Bakugo seemed insistent that I reply to his provocation... This plot is so forced I could feel the fourth wall gazing at me intently

Breathing a sigh I turned to Bakugo 

"My naming sense is bad? you probably called yourself lord death murder Explosion Man" I blurted a random name that fit his persona

"HUH? Have you been looking over my shoulder? ILL KILL YOU" ... why am I not surprised... I rushed back to my seat under Bakugo's murderous gaze as he picked up his whiteboard and scribbled what I would assume as a new 'name'.

...

"I chose the name 'Rainy season hero: Froppy'" Tusuyu said while staring into space, Midnight seemed to like the name as she clapped with a smile

"I chose 'Invisible girl!" Toru announced Midnight liked the clear and concise name

"I think 'Ailen queen' Is a good name right? right?" Mina jumped around while holding her whiteboard, while the name sounded cool it also had a creepy feel about it, Midnight clearly agreed

"I chose the name 'Red Riot' After my favorite hero!" Kirishima said with seriousness. apparently, Kirishima liked Crimson Riot... I dunno who that is, but it's nice

Next came Iida and Shoji announcing the names 'Ingenium' and 'Tentacole'. Iida's brother got injured during the sports festival, unfortunately, I was mostly in the infirmary when I wasn't competing and didn't get to have a word with IIda.

All names were almost the same as they were in the anime, while i liked some of the names I still couldn't understand why Midoriya wanted the name "Deku" even 'Baka' could be a better name.

...

"all right! now that you have chosen your hero names it's time for! ... wait this isn't my job to teach you that bye-bye!" abruptly Ms.Midnight left while waving her hand, going next to the entrance she roughly kicked the sleeping bag Aizawa was napping.

"Damn old hag, be a little gentler next time..." Aizawa rubbed his eyes before standing up again, he reached into the sleeping bag and pulled out a stack of papers before handing them out.

"Now that all of this is done, these are your application forms, those who received requests can accept one of the options. If you didn't receive any don't worry, there are 40 options you can choose from. while they aren't big agencies they should be enough..." 

Staring at the application I noticed some big names like 'Hawks Agency' 'Mountain Lady' and surprisingly 'Endeavor Agency', was he serious about that daughter thing...? nonono I should focus on what agency could help me train the most. There is also the Hosu incident to worry about

After weighing my options I decided to go work for EdgeShot as he could help me in controlling my powers. After quickly writing down my decision I went and returned the application.

now all that is left was to wait for the work studies to start, sitting at my seat I glanced around, everyone was focused on who to pick. I already knew Tokoyami wanted to work for Hawks and all he needed is a request from his agency.

"*Yawn* this is boring...." I rested my head on the table and took a nap

...

And it appears that the next day was boring too, I might've taken all the action in the recent time for granted as the schedule was just 'study, train, study', My body was basically on autopilot as I only truly concentrated if I was with Tokoymai or Jiro, or if I was suddenly hit by Midnight's whip...

but at some point, the day finally came as we were requested to bring our hero costume, led by Aizawa to the train station. this caused a small commotion as we were quite eye-catching with our UA uniform

"Remember you can't wear your sports costume in public unless under direct orders from your agency," Aizawa said while sighing, seeing as we're very excited

I was quite possibly the most excited for the work studies

"You seem to be very excited about the work studies Rimuru" Tokoyami commented

"What made it so obvious?" I asked

"You looked depressed the whole week, now you look as if someone gave you candy" 

"...was I?"

"Ahem, please listen" Aizawa interrupted as he continued to explain some random rules

"Do you understand?" Aizawa asked after drilling it into our heads for 15 minutes... can't we get on the train already...? please

"Yesssss!" Mina answered for all of us

"Then get on the train already"

...

The train ride was quite cramped as 20 students were squeezed into a single train compartment, the ride itself was actually very smooth.

"Ah, right Rimuru, what agency did you pick in the end?" Tokoyami asked, now that I think about I didn't actually tell them

"I picked Edgeshot as he could help me control my quirk. You probably chose Hawks Agency right?"

"Yes, I'm actually kind of excited about what Hawks will teach me" Tokoyami answered with a slight blush, he was a Hawks Fanboy eh...

"I can't believe you guys got cool agencies!" Jiro suddenly started complaining

"What agency did you pick?"

"I didn't get any I wanted so I had to pick DeathArms humph" Jiro pouted 

'That reminds me... I still have to deal with the whole Hosu incident...' while it might seem stupid I still have to do something, I can't be a silent observer all the time. I quickly thought of a plan, and within a moment I got an idea 'Hehe' I grinned, opening up my palm I emitted [Beelzbub] and tucked it away inside the train compartment because one of its stops was Hosu city I could use it as a gateway to get there quick

"...creepy" I heard Jiro mutter snapping me out of my thoughts 

"Never smile like that again, you looked as if you just murdered someone" She shivered in her seat

"..." I had no response that wouldn't make her even more creeped out

...

"Finally we're there!" I stretched caused a few cracks to sound from my back, the seating wasn't very comfortable but I didn't expect VIP treatment either. Getting off the train with a few other classmates who had hero agencies in the area I waved goodbye to Tokoyami and Jiro.

pulling my phone I opened the GPS app and tried to feel the smoke's location, while faint I could tell its location, and using the GPS I could tell when it reached Hosu, smiling at the success of the plan I went to EdgeShot's agency while looking around.

I eventually made it to EdgeShot's agency, it looked like an ordinary office for a single person, and with a wood matte and homey atmosphere it felt like an exorcist's office. I took a short breath before knocking on the door, I waited... and waited... where was he?

"You need to work on your senses" A voice came from behind me causing me to jump in surprise

"How long have you been there...?" I asked between heavy breaths

"Ever since you knocked, I went under the door and behind you" He answered while pointing under the door where a small slit was... Right, he can squeeze into tight space...

"So I'm here for the work studies... nice to meet you" I handed him the application and went for a handshake, Edgeshot appeared to be nicer than he looked, while he looked cold he handed me warm tea as we sat inside his office

"So why did you choose to work for me? you could have chosen any agency" He asked like a job interview

"Well I believe you could help me with my quirk, Although it's good for destruction and mobility I can't really use it for investigation and I want to test my quirk's utility" I answered with a poker face

"Good answer let's go" He suddenly sat up and folded himself leaving from the window... 

Am I supposed to follow? He was probably going to test me wasn't he... quickly getting up I pushed some smoke between the window's gaps and teleported outside on the opposite building's roof.

"You have good mobility..." Edgeshot commented while standing on the roof, he looked at me up and down before nodding, and before I could even realize he lunged at me with a punch causing me to fall backward

"What was that for.." I rubbed my nose

"Spar." that single word made me shudder a bit, I slowly stood up and took on a fighting stance

"No quirk?"

"No quirk."

Just after that exchange, we rushed at each other preparing to fight...
