A/N: Thanks for the reviews, and we also reached 200k+ views, so thanks to all of you.
Aizawa walked down the UA halls, towards Recovery Girl's office. Today would be the day, his bandages would be removed and he'd be allowed to return to full duty (not that he had sat idly by anyway.)
"Good morning Aizawa-kun," Chiyo greeted with a warm smile.
"Good morning," Aizawa replied curtly, "How long is this going to take? We only have a week to keep the interns and Monoma is being quite persistent."
"You can still teach with bandages on. You don't have to be the one to fight to improve his combat skills." Chiyo said, "It shouldn't take more than an hour, removing the metal from your arms will be a bit tricky, that's all."
"Do I have to get knocked out?" Aizawa grumbled, "Anesthesia makes my head weird."
"Don't worry, I'll manage it." Chiyo smiled. Aizawa shivered, getting reminded of Nedzu, "Shouji! Come here."
The tall boy entered the room with a questioning look, "I've taught you quite a lot already. You'll be removing Aizawa's bandages and carrying out the physical checkup." Chiyo grinned.
"Me?" Shouji asked uncertainly.
"HIM?" Aizawa nearly yelled, paling. He coughed in embarrassment, "Are you sure? I mean, you've only had him for a day."
"No, he's been coming to me on breaks for quite some time now. Besides, it's just some bandage removal. Anyone can do it, and I'll be there to supervise the physical checkup to ensure your muscles are back to normal. Unless of course, you think your student has no potential?" Chiyo asked rhetorically.
Aizawa grumbled at Chiyo's blackmail and nodded.
Shouji was surprisingly gentle, considering his huge stature and Aizawa had to admit, he hadn't felt a thing, "Wow that's pretty good for what I assume was a first try." Aizawa said, impressed.
Shouji gave an eye smile, "Now, we just have to remove the rods."
Aizawa paled, "Are you sure you can do that by yourself? The rods are in me."
"No, I'll take care of that part. Shouji has to simply get it out. I don't have the necessary strength, you see." Chiyo said.
"Fine, just get it over with." Aizawa laid down.
"I thought Kinoko was with you too?" Aizawa asked as he waited for Shouji and Chiyo to prepare.
"She is in the next room. Since you say that anesthesia is unpleasant, I will have Kinoko make some hallucinogenic mushrooms to help put you under." Recovery Girl said, "Boy I hope she gets it right. One extra spot and she'll end up poisoning you instead."
Aizawa paled even more.
"Hi! My name is Bubble Girl! I'm one of Nighteye's sidekicks. Please to meet you!"
Jiro, Hagakure, and Kuroiro smiled and replied with their introductions, "I can't wait to work with All Might's sidekick!" Hagakure squealed in excitement.
"Don't you guys have All Might himself as a teacher?" Bubble Girl asked, confused.
"Yes, but we've never been out in the field with him. This will be more exciting." Kuroiro pointed out.
"Yo Bubble Girl! Is that the new UA students?" A blonde boy with a giant grin plastered over his face asked.
"Yup. I assume you already know Togata?" Bubble Girl asked. Her face dropped at the first year's shake of the head, "You should really know why your senpais are. He's in the final year of UA, you know? And he's one of the Big Three."
"Big Three?" Jiro asked.
"They are the top hero candidates in all of Japan." Bubble Girl replied.
Jiro, Hagakure and Kuroiro's mouths dropped while Togata rubbed his head in embarrassment, "But you didn't even get to the second round of the festival!" Jiro exclaimed, "No offense." She added.
Mirio laughed, "It's all well to try and win the festival when you are in your first or second year. But after the third year, you're going to become a real hero. So, we'd rather keep our talents hidden to surprise the villains!" He explained.
"I didn't think of it that way," Hagakure said.
"Are you on an internship too?" Kuroiro asked.
Mirio shook his head, "I'm on a yearlong work study. You guys will probably get it later too."
"By the way Mirio, is Nighteye in already? If so, we should get them introduced to him." Bubble Girl said before any of them could inquire more.
"Yup, he asked me to come get them." Mirio beckoned for the first years to follow. "I'm kinda nervous to meet Nighteye. I've never seen him on TV in interviews either. What's he like?" Kuroiro asked.
"Hmm. He may look like a serious person with an intimidating glare, but he likes humor and jokes. Try to make him laugh or he won't acknowledge you much." MIrio advised.
The three nodded but were evidently nervous.
"I brought the new UA interns." Mirio opened the door.
"Thank you," Nighteye replied as the trio walked in.
Jiro observed the enormous amount of All Might memorabilia and smiled, "Looks like there's someone who worships All Might even more than Izuku."
"Something funny?" Nighteye asked.
"No sir," Jiro replied and quickly returned to a serious demeanor.
Nighteye gave the three a calculating glare making them even more anxious, "I'm Hagakure-" she started to introduce herself when Nighteye spoke, "I know who each of you are. I wouldn't have sent in internship requests otherwise."
Hagakure shut up at that, and though no one could see her face, Jiro assumed she was scowling, "What's brown and sticky?" Jiro suddenly asked.
Mirio and Kuroiro looked at her with disgust, "A stick? I've heard that one before." Nighteye said.
"No, it's poop," Jiro replied with a grin. Nighteye cracked a smile at that, "I assume Mirio told you to get me to laugh."
The three nodded, "Well I suppose Jiro passes. The joke was unexpected. Let's see what you two have."
"Why can't you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom?" Kuroiro asked.
"Because they have a silent p?" Nighteye countered.
"No, they're all dead."
Nighteye's smile widened, "Not bad at all. Now for Hagakure. Wait, where is she?"
Mirio's eyes widened as he spotted Hagakure's gloves behind Nighteye. Soon, Nighteye started cracking up, "Stop! That tickles."
Hagakure stopped immediately and snickered, "You didn't say how we should make you laugh."
Mirai grinned, "I suppose I didn't. Very impressive to find the loophole." He lauded.
"Well then, I suppose I should get down to some business and outline what each of you will be learning during this week-long internship."
Hagakure returned to her friends and stood at attention with them.
"All three of you have quirks that are important in both combat and information gathering. I can give you tips about the combat to turn you into a top hero like Mirio, but the main thing I will be teaching you is information gathering."
The three nodded, "Mirio, tell them about your experience. It will help make the point."
Mirio nodded, "My quirk is permeation. My quirk allows me to become intangible, letting me pass through any tangible matter; I can phase through walls and the ground, as well as let enemy attacks pass through me harmlessly.
While intangible, I can still fall because I have mass. Additionally, everything passes through me, including light, sound, and air; meaning, while my Quirk is active, I can't see, hear, or breathe. This also means that I have to keep at least one foot solid at all times while the Quirk is active, or else I will fall into the ground, On the off chance I do, the ground repels me back when I want to return to solid state since masses can't overlap. Nighteye helped me control the quirk because I couldn't control which parts of my body should activate and when. He also helped me figure out the masses can't overlap so that I could use my quirk without fear!" Mirio said with pride.
Nighteye nodded, "His quirk also allows him to just have his face be non-permeable so that he can listen in on conversations by walking past bodyguards and walls. Don't think it's just combat based, because I plan to help you three improve your quirks in the same way."
"We can't wait for it!" Hagakure exclaimed with joy.
Nighteye nodded, "For now, you will have a mock battle against Mirio. Centipeder will oversee it and report back to me."
"You won't be watching?" Kuroiro asked.
"I need some time to think." Nighteye waved them off.
The three looked disappointed but thankfully Mirio hurriedly ushered them off. Once the door was closed, Nighteye sighed. Nedzu had told him about the upcoming Endeavour case which might lead to an uprising against the commission. That only increased the number of worries he had, "Shie Hassaikai…"
The Yakuza was the main reason he had asked for this trio. Kuroiro could easily pass in through the walls since they were underground and therefore dark, and Mirio could be the backup. Jiro could allow them to listen in without even infiltrating and Hagakure could infiltrate without anyone knowing, "But, are they ready? They've only learned to use their quirks for a month or two now."
Nighteye's grip tightened, "No, the work-study is there. I'll let them keep smiling, just a bit longer."
As promised, another weekly update!
Leave a review :p, and also suggestions on how best to show everyone's internships cuz I won't go into detail for all of them.
