Flames of Hope

Chapter 35

"That is such a good reason! I want to be a hero to save 1 million people! Hence my hero name; Lemillion!" Fist bumping; "I'm sure Sir Nighteye will take you on as an Intern." Then he leaves, his steps bouncy and full of energy yet again. Toshinori speaks up;

"A noble goal, Young Izuku. A commendable one too. I have full belief that you can do what you said. Nova Blaze; the Symbol of Hope." Toshinori pats Izuku on the shoulder.

"That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

Inside a small office building, a tall, lanky man glared at a computer screen, his glasses reflecting the contents of the screen off. A blurred image of a flower, a Yakuza symbol – 'Shia Hassaikai' and an image of the leader; Overhaul. From behind, a door opens and a lady with a gas mask on and blue skin steps in, telling the man –

"Mirio has an Intern request for you, Sir." She looks to her hands, saying; "I also have the reports of Hassaikai activity here for you." The man flickers his gaze to the women, demanding.

"Can I have them over here please?" the masked lady walks over to the table and places the files and the man thanks her as she leaves.

The man looks at the paper, the Intern request sat on the top; Izuku Midoriya. The man sneered, looking at the profile before placing it into the interview stack.

"When?"

"Now!" the blonde exclaimed. Izuku sighed and ran a hand down his face, schooling his features into a deadpan look as he did so, and forced out.

"Why. School has just ended, couldn't he wait until tomorrow?" The only reply he got was an adamant head shake. Resigning to his fate, Izuku changes his course and follows his senior, who hops away with that energetic smile of his, to the agency.

'All I wanted to do was to cuddle with my boyfriend and sleep...'

It wasn't long until Izuku reached the agency. Reluctantly, Izuku followed Mirio into the building, said boy was waving to the receptionist and saying hello to them. Paying no mind, Izuku signed in and was immediately told to go to Sir Nighteye's office, Mirio offering the boy a pat on the shoulder and good luck. As soon as he pushes open the door, he's blasted with a rather weak blast of blood lust from Nighteye, who was trying to look intimidating, his glasses reflecting all the light, making them glow white.

Izuku wasn't impressed.

Deciding to prank the man, Izuku releases a bit of his own blood lust, Shouta had shown him how to do so, and watched in amusement as all the blood drained from the mans face, sweat profusely coming from his forehead. Izuku cracked open, he couldn't take and started belting out a laugh, a smile tugging at his lips. After calming down, Izuku looked expectantly at Nighteye, who started;
