I: Back Again, Gang Orca

"I-I'm sorry for the mistake," he said, clearing his throat and adjusting his tie, "I'll make sure to remember next time." With that, he said the assignments and everybody got up and started to head out, getting their gear and tools and such. Meanwhile, I stood there, wondering where we would go. My thoughts were cut short when I felt a large hand pat my back, ushering me to the other direction where the sidekicks were headed.

"All right, kid. It's time I introduce you to some important people and show you the other part of a hero's job."

We entered a taxi cab, and made our way to a big stadium, one that I could've seen from miles away. Still wondering where we were and why we were here, that question was left unanswered until we arrived at the facility. I exited the cab and furrowed my eyebrows as Gang Orca led me inside, twisting down a series of hallways until we finally reached a large control room. 

Without words, Gang Orca invited me in with a swoop of his hand, holding open the door for me. I nodded and walked in, noticing a series of small screens connecting together to form a larger one, all surveillance devices of some sort. It took me a minute to focus in on the moving characters along one of the televisions, but my eyes widened as soon as I recognized the figures. Turning to Gang Orca, I was only met with a knowing smile, and nothing else. 

"We're..." I breathed, suddenly exasperated, "We're monitoring the license exam?" I was about to continue, but a familiar voice jutted out, taking me by surprise. 

"You were the quirkless one, right?" I whipped my head around to face the all-too-familiar blonde who was the moderator for the last license exam. He yawned and stepped through the door, narrowly avoiding Gang Orca's bulky frame, and took a seat on the leather spinny-chair positioned in front of all the controls. 

"I assumed Sakamata would bring you here for the internships," he mumbled, casting an awry glance at my mentor. The pro hero's chest rumbled, presumably stifling a chuckle. 

"You're sarcastic as always, Mera." The tired man cracked a smile and turned back around to face the board as Gang Orca joined both of us in front of the glowing screens. Noticing how the group of UA and Shiketsu students talked for a bit, socializing and getting to know each other, I pursed my lips, shifting a little. Why was I so uncomfortable?

We stood at stared at them until it was time for the test to start. Rushing to the door, I took one last look at the retreating figures until I disappeared around the exit. Walking with my mentor was more intimidating than I thought, especially as he was around 200 centimeters tall. I never had the guts to say anything -- he always looked mad at me, for some reason. 

"Got anything to talk about?" he suddenly said, playfully looking down, "Or has a cat got your tongue?" I smiled awkwardly and scratched the nape of my neck, thinking of a few questions that had gotten left unanswered.

"Well, why did you bring me here? I don't really understand the purpose." He was quick to answer.

"To be honest, from what I've seen, saying your skills are above-average would be an understatement. It's amazing how far you've gotten despite not having a quirk. You're quick to react to things and I think it's a great ability. I just brought you here today to see some other examples of what future heroes have to deal with, on the more... social aspect." I was still in the mist about the whole thing, but continued to follow him until we reached an open space. 

I spotted everyone gathered in the middle and was told to wait in the bleachers with some others. Noticing Eraser, Mic, and All Might sat in the front row, I decided to go and sit down with the adults spectating the event. My English teacher noticed me and gave me a loud, yet warm welcome.
