Internship[24]

||

I stood silent on the train approaching my destination as it finally came to a halt. taking a step off the train, I'm greeted by a pretty woman with a few reptilian features.

Her hero costume consisted of a traditional, flowing qipao with scale motifs, a headband adorned with a claw-like accessory and decorative wings on the back of her head. In addition, she also wore spiked earrings.

"I take it you're the dragon lady." I mumbled as she nodded with a light smile.

"And you are Shi-san?"

I nodded in return with bored eyes as she turns to the side ushering me to follow. Yep, that's right. I chose to intern under the rank 9 hero: the dragon hero, Ryukyu.

Soon we were both standing in front of a large building. It was massive yet classy at the same time as I stared in awe at the golden chandelier above us while we entered. The chandelier wasn't the only thing shiny as almost every object in the lounge reflected brightly. "Guess the dragon stereotype is true." I muttered as she showed me my room for the entirety of my stay here. "Once you've gotten settled in please change into your costume and meet me back in the lounge in fifteen minutes."

I cock my head curiously but nod nonetheless as she closes my room door behind her. The room wasn't that big and had a comfy looking twin sized bed pressed up against the wall. With a sigh I plopped my bag down and walked toward the bed. Soon as I reached it I collapsed on top of the soft thin comforter. After a moment, I released a heavy sigh turning my head lost in thought. "Hopefully I'll be able to get a little more control of it."

I stood across from the woman cautiously glancing at the the cliff like Pitt a few feet away from us. "Gomen, but why did you bring me out to the middle of no where Tatsuma-san ?"

"Please call me Ryuko, Tatsuma-san makes me feel old." She laughed lightly folding her arms. "As for what we're doing out here." She paused closing her eyes and reopening them, a stiff tension settling over us.

"I saw your performance in the festival, I must say you did quite amazing." She praised causing me to avert my eyes. The last thing I wanted to talk about was the festival but it seemed she had other plans in mind.

"But, I talked to the principal of your school. I am aware of your situation In terms of controlling your quirk."

A frown graves my lips wondering if he told her everything. Would she judge me like many of the other adults had? However, my breath hitches at the soft touch on my head. Peering up in slight shock, she gives me a kind smile whilst her eyes were filled with something I couldn't register. It wasn't sympathy nor pity.

"I understand."

For some reason, those words triggered me.

"You know nothing." I hissed, slapping her hand away. I expected her to have some sort of negative reaction but she shook her head giving me another light smile.

"I may not know the whole story but there is a reason why I requested you."

She turns and walks to the edge cliff looking up toward the sky, a gentle expression on her face.

"You're not the only one whose lost control before. Everyone does at some point, even the best of us."

My eyes widen slightly in astonishment as i cast my gaze to the ground, fist clenched.

"So why'd you request me then?"

"To help you of course."

Taken aback, I snap my gaze back up to the reptilian woman whom now faced me, a peculiar glint in her eyes."When I observed you during the festival I noticed our quirks were similar. When it came to your last match, just by watching you I could see what Nezu-sama was talking about. You lost control, didn't you?"
