QUIRKLESS MY HERO ACADEMIA - AU

HERO Work Studies

I'm sat in the waiting room of Mirko's agency. It's busy; she's the number 5 hero...I'm sweating; I wipe my hands on my costume. Her secretary looks at me and smiles.

SECRETARY: We're just waiting for the other student, and we'll send you two in. It shouldn't take long...

The door opens, and familiarity makes me feel way more comfortable.

Y/N: Shinso! You're doing Work Studies?! Here?!

SHINSO: I thought about texting you...I was supposed to train with Aizawa, but he has this mission he has to attend. 

Y/N: (Excitedly) Thank God you're here, I was super nervous!!

SHINSO: I don't know how I'm going to do here. (t worried, dryly.) I'm not a good fighter.

Y/N: (Excited) You have to start somewhere!! Mirko's the best; she'll train us so hard, I hope my muscles hurt for at least three months!!

SHINSO: (Frowns) Hopefully not...

RECEPTIONIST: (Getting off the phone) You can go in now. Good luck!

SHINSO: (Confused) Good luck...with what?

The doors open automatically, and it's not that intimidating, it's an outside garden with stone benches and tables. Like a park, almost. It looks like a parkour server. 

MIRKO: (From up) Hey, kids!! You have one hour to get up here, or you're going to be stuck doing dirty work the entire week, got it?!

Y/N: (surprised) Up there?!

MIRKO: (Passionately) If you fall, you're getting 10 minutes discounted off your time limit!!

Y/N: (Closes her fists) Got it! (To SHINSO) I've got a plan. (Reaching her hand out to him) I'll duplicate our testosterone levels and send them to our legs, okay?!

SHINSO: (Unamused as ever) What's that going to do?

Y/N: (Bummed out) Increase our muscle gain during the process of climbing...and make us jump higher.

SHINSO: (Weirded out) You know your biology. (Smiles faintly) Go ahead.

I push my hands through his forehead and follow through the process I have just described.

SHINSO: (After she takes her hand back) I feel so heavy...

Y/N: (Pushing her hands through her head) Just give your body a minute to adapt.

I repeat the process and start climbing. It's like a rock-climbing part; I'd say the whole parkour would be about 30 meters up in the air. A long way to go. We get through the rock climbing quickly, standing on the level 2 platform. I help Shinso up into the platform. I look up; now, this is climbing. It's three branches that have been manipulated to grow up, making a parkour-looking stage.

SHINSO: (Jumping on top of her) Watch out!!

An arrow?! I look around; there are plenty of characters around, it's like a forest filled with people with bows. Another arrow gets thrown at us, then more and more.

MIRKO: You didn't think it'd be just a silly parkour, right?!

Y/N: We have to be quick! Jump as high as you can!!

I concentrate and jump as far as the human body has ever been able to. 

Y/N: With all the leg work we did climbing the rocks and all the testosterone, our legs should have enough muscle to even break the world record!! Trust me!!

I jump and hold on to a branch; an arrow digs into my skin, I regenerate quickly and balance myself on top of it. I look down at Shinso.

Y/N: (From 5 feet away) Don't fall!!
