The 9 Millimeter Kiss

Chapter 67

"You guys found a place to do your work study at?! That's great!" Uraraka exclaimed. A group of them gathered at the sofa's.

"Wow!" Mina praised.

"Congrats, Midoriya, Yuki." Iida congratulated, offering his hand to Midoriya before he shook Yuki's.

"Thanks." Midoriya humbly spoke.

"It's not that big of a deal." Yuki's knowing grin said otherwise.

"I can't be idle, either." Mr. Glasses told them. Yuki only shrugged, leaning back into the couch.

"But man, you're really amazing, Midoriya." Kaminari piped in from behind Yuki.

"Yeah, I mean, you'll be at Sir Nighteye's agency!" Sero added.

"You were recommended by Togata-senpai?" Kirishima asked.

"Yeah, Midoriya! Good Job!" Yuki gave his freckled friend a closed eyed smile.

Said boy looked away from Yuki nervously. Somehow he was still able to forget Yuki knew about him and how he used to be quirkless before One for All was given to him. The healer hadn't made a big deal out of it which itself was suspicious but then again, he never even asked about it.

Yuki heard a faint scoff coming from Bakugo.

"The school said Gunhead hasn't had enough interns, so I can't go there." Uraraka sat down, hunching over in thought.

"Same here. I wanted to go to Selkie-sama's but..." Tsuyu joined in from Yuki's right.

"Fourth Kind doesn't even take work studies..." Kirishima plopped over the couch between them in light somber.

"I mean, the threshold's been set pretty high..." Sero sighed, leaning onto the other couch.

"Yeah, we can only ask pros with good track records who'll take work study students..." Kaminari sighed.

"It can't be helped." Ojiro told them from the dining tables. "Unlike the internships, we'll be directly involved, so if anything happens--"

"It becomes a problem of who's responsible on the pro side." Aizawa interrupted as he entered the dorms.

"Aizawa-sensei!"

Yuki looked away from the homeroom teacher. He wasn't regretting his decision to blackmail but he certainly didn't like getting 'the look' from adults.

"Pros who accept students even after knowing the risks are the real thing." Aizawa explained.

"Tokoyami," he called out. "You've got an invitation for a work study from one of those real pros. It's from Hawks, who works in Kyushu."

Yuki did a double take.

"HAWKS?!"

"Ranked third in the hero ranking?!"

"WoOw!"

"That's Amazing!"

"Good Job!"

A request from the number 3-- or would it be number 2 hero now...?

"What will you do, Tokoyami?" Aizawa asked.

"I respectfully accept." Tokoyami bowed slightly.

Aizawa nodded. "Very well. I'll give you the work study paperwork later. Let me know when you figure out when you'll be going to Kyushu. I'll authorize your absences for those days."
