A loud beeping noise woke me up from my deep slumber, I groaned, grabbing my phone and turning my alarm off. Hopping out of bed I use the restroom, brushed my teeth etc.
Slipping on my outfit from yesterday, I grab my backpack with all my other things as well as my phone and keycard.
Before I left the hotel I got a cup of water, drinking it slowly as I scrolled through the news on my phone. One article title stood out to me, I clicked on it, curious.
The dangerous villian known as Shard has been apprehended
Attached to the article title was an article describing his capture and a picture of him.
It's the guy from the bathroom mirror I think to myself, getting goosebumps. Finishing my water, I out my phone away.
Deciding to take the stairs, I bounce down them towards the ground floor. "So many damn stairs..." I mutter to myself.
Finally making it to the lobby, I return the key card and tell the desk lady to have a nice day.
I was only spending the first night in the hotel, the other 6 would be packed full of what I hopped to be, training.
After many wrong turns and weird looks as I crossed the streets the wrong way, I made it.
Walking into the towering black building, I squinted, getting used to the.... Red lighting? Was I in the right place?
The seating area consisted of two rows of black leather seats, some facing the window, others the indoors. Pure white light spilled in from the window.
To the right of the seating area was the front desk, one bright red light hanging above it, basking the lady in red light.
I walked up to the desk, slightly nervous. Maybe this isnt her agency, there's alot of signs pointing to something other than heroic I think to myself, working up my courage.
"Hi, I'm Y/N Asuna here for the internship with Midnight" I say lightly, standing in front of the lady.
She looks up to me, nodding and checking her computer. After various clicks, she smiles, finding what she was looking for.
"Alright, I have you right here Ms.Asuna, go down the hall to your right, it's the last door. She's waiting for you" she said happily, using hand motions and pointing to the map on the wall.
"Thank you, have a nice day" I say back with a smile as I walk down the hall, following her directions.
Taking a right, I walk down the hall and enter a rather large room with various.... Poles? My face practically lit up. Oh my Gosh, he was right, I'm becoming a stripper I internally think, freaking out a little.
I mean, strippers make alot of money right? So if my hero career does end up going downhill, maybe I could look into that.
"Nightmare, you made it" a familiar voice says, cutting off my mental breakdown. I turn to my left, seeing Midnight doing something rather odd.
Her hands were on the pole, elbows locked, holding herself straight out like a board. She wasn't even shaking, she was just holding herself there.
Damn, that's pretty impressive I think to myself. Lowering her feet to the ground, she stands up, smiling at me.
"Alright, to get you started, I'll show you your room" she says, walking past me and through the hallway I just came through.
Walking over to the elevator she enters it, I follow quickly behind her, getting a whiff of her heavenly perfume.
She presses number 10, the elevator jolting slightly as it makes it's rise to floor 10.
"For your stay here, I will be showing you how to control your muscles, how to be attractive while fighting and how to keep a positive attitude." She says as our elevator quickly reaches it's designated floor with a signature "ding".
The door opens revealing an entire appartment, the west wall mainly made of glass, showing off the cityscape.
"This is your room, it's normally my party room but it'll do for you." She says, walking into the appartment.
My mouth practically hits the ground.
I got a whole floor to myself? This is nuts I thought to myself as I walked inside, putting my bag down on the couch.
"Drinks are at the wet bar, although I suppose you aren't legally aloud to" she says, looking at me slyly.
"The only drugs provided are Marijuana because I don't bother with anything else." She says, sitting on one of the plush leather chairs.
"Use them on your own time though" she says casually, giving me a wink before looking at the view.
Ohhh, the temptations are a test, that makes sense. I thought to myself, walking over to the large window.
Well of course she'd have a temptation test, this whole damn building is one big temptation attraction.
"Will we be doing anything today?" I ask, changing my thoughts from the whole temptation situation.
"Meet me back on floor one in the pole room in 5 minutes. Today we will be doing muscle exercises and flexibility training" she says, getting up and walking back to the elevator.
"I would recommend you wear your hero costume, it matches the mood" she says as the elevator doors close.
Going into the bathroom, I was already provided with all the makeup you could think of, along with the best brand shower products.
Taking off my outfit, I slip on my costume, looking at myself in a mirror. Taking a deep breath in and out, I nod, walking back to the elevator and clicking the first floor button.
Once I reach the first floor I make my way to the pole room, which was a large room filled with 5 "exotic dancing" poles, each one accompanied by one leather chair. Along with a full blown gym on the other side of the room. Making my way over to Midnight, who was in a chair, I stand nervously by her, unsure what to do.
"I want you to climb that pole without slipping" she said simply.
I nodded, walking over to it and jumping, wrapping my legs around the pole, I squeezed it with my legs, using my arms to pull myself up, I got only about one foot before I slipped and fell, falling on my ass.
"Try this" she says, holding out a bucket of white powder.
I swear if that's cocaine- I thought to myself, not surprised by anything at this point.
"This will help your grip, it's mountain climbers chalk. Place your hands lightly on it, then rub it in." She says, directing me. I did what she said, then trying the pole move again, making it to the top. Releasing it, I slid back down, landing on my feet.
"Great job" she says, handing me a babywipe, I scrub the power off my hands.
"You will not be using that powder again while you continue your stay here. While it is a good tool to use for pole exercises, you won't have any at hand during a fight. Let alone be able to run it into your hands." She says, stating the obvious
"Now I want you to do a handstand against the poll, wrap your legs around it, and pull yourself into a sitting position facing the pole."
I knew damn well I couldn't, but I nodded, doing as she said. I did the handstand, bending my legs back, I slipped and fell again, grunting.
I had to learn to keep my balance while also straining my muscles to do the moves slowly and correctly. This was nothing short of fucking excruciating.
The next two days went the same way, going to the pole room to learn new moves and ways to move my body while also keeping control of it.
She also taught me how to fight "seductively" as she called it. It mainly involved using your apponents weight against them, as well as their movements.
Getting in close, really close, you normally make eye contact while you knock them out. Or, if you can't knock them out from the front, you put them into a headlock and casually talk to them as you squeeze with your arms, knocking them out.
We used this method every day for the duration of my internship. I would wake up, make a banana, strawwbery and pineapple smoothie After I had my smoothie, I would use the restroom then begin training. For the first three or four hours, depending on how good I did, I practiced controlled spins and twirls on the pole.
Then for about two more hours I would practice my flips, cartwheels, handsprings, etc. Basically the gymnastics portion of the workout.
And finally, hand to hand combat with Midnight herself. She was really good to be honest, you wouldn't expect it just by looking at her but she was a seriously dangerous apponent.
Afterwards I would have a healthy dinner by myself in my grand yet temporary, apartment.
But it wasn't all cake, you know what happened when I failed? I got love advice and good attitude from Midnight.
"Come ooon, is that the best you got? You'll never get a boyfriend with that sloppy of a flip!"
"Faster! Faster! You have to be quicker, your quirk can't always save you, you know!"
"Your going to die if your that damn slow, come on honey buns, pick up the pace!"
"Seriously? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? I sure as hell think not! That's my job, now quit complaining and do it again!"
So far during the internship however, I didn't use my quirk once. As I showed everyone in the UA festival a few weeks prior, I had my quirk under wraps.
The only thing I needed to improve was strategy, technique, flexibility and grit. All which I got relatively good at while I was with Midnight.
"Ok honey, that's enough for today" Midnight states, wiping the sweat from her brow.
"You've improved so much, your mom's going to be so proud" she says before she takes a swig of what I assumed was apple cider vinegar and pineapple juice.
I had no idea how she could keep that down without throwing up. It was obvious she was a slim fit beauty, and she worked for every single bit of it.
"It's all thanks to you" I said to her, flashing her an innocent smile. A smile I hadn't been trained to give as of lately.
Moving quickly, I rushed up the elevator and to my temporary appartment. Stripping myself of my suit, I slipped into my pjs. A super soft sweater and some comfy seamless underwear.
I slipped into bed, bruises littering my thighs and arms from the pole excercises and from stopping myself from falling.

Hey, Author here.
Sorry about the short, crappy chapter. Don't worry, we will deal with the Nomu incident in Hosu city.
I wanted to apologize for not including the USJ incident, I just find it super repetitive and really boring.
So instead of that incident occuring, it's just common knowledge that the league of villians wants to kill all might.
Again, I'm sorry for the abrupt ending to this chapter, don't forget to vote and comment! 💖💖
