As DJ Khaled said, another one!

"You must be our four interns." A man wearing a suit with a vest greeted them. He had a really long twirly mustache, slicked back, grey hair, and he was really short. He looked to be about 3ft tall.

"Yes. You are?" Saiki asked, holding all of their luggage above him.

"My apologies, I am Claude Adams. Do come inside?" He gestured to the door. They all entered the building.

"This building has 50 floors above us, and 30 below. Do not go past the 15th basement, unless instructed to." He warned, it was hard to take him seriously because of how unthreatening he looked.

"The vice president is waiting for you there, she is also the boss of our patrol Heroes." Claude explained. He pushed open a large door, to reveal a room with a large table with 20 seats around it, and a smaller desk at the front. In the room, were around 15 genetically modified Heroes, all staring at them. The way they looked varied, one had a chicken's head, another had limbs too large for it's torso, there was one that was just an eyeball in a jar on top of a suit, but by far, the most noticeable person in that room, was the woman standing at the back. She was white, not like, peach skin colour white, like paper white, industrial white. Her eyes were Light blue all the way through and her hands were claws, her body shape was the most human, but everything else about her was not. She also had a permanent rain cloud above her head.

"These are the interns?" Her voice was hoarse, and cold.

"Yes Ma'am." Claude was trembling.

"Good. Take them out to the field, I'll be there in a second." She instructed.

"Of course Ma'am." He bowed and they all went out to the giant testing field in the back. It had different machines for strengthening and testing different quirks, bowls of water, a diving board, a pool, a track, anything you could think of, they've got it. "Wait for her here, she'll be testing you. Try not to die." He chuckled nervously and walked off.

"Who does he think we are anyway~?" Ban sighed.

"High School students." Gowther reminded him.

"Duh." Killua laughed.

"But still, you don't think she'd be stupid enough to take us on all at once, I doubt she could beat two of us together~" Ban chuckled.

"We'll see about that." Her voice boomed. "Hello, I'm sorry, I failed to introduce myself earlier. My name is Yui Kawakami, you may call me Yui." She smiled.

'Hey, I can't read her thoughts.' Saiki told the others.

'So she's strong then.' Killua thought.

'I could still take her~' Ban looked at them and grinned.

"Okay, let's see if I can take you all." She put her hands on her hips and waited for them to go after her.

"Saiki, you should sit this one out." Killua whispered. Saiki shrugged, better for him. He sat down on the grass.

"Sitting down? You sure are confident!" She laughed and the sky turned gray and it started to pour.

"Ban, above you." Saiki muttered.

"Wha-" Ban was cut off by lightning striking him. He was stunned for a second, but shook it off. "Damn, that hurt~" He licked his lips. "Let me return the favour!" He dashed towards her, trying to land a blow. She was more skilled than anticipated, and dogged most of them. Most. Ban managed to land a good hit on her stomach.

"Hey! Yell if you need help okay?" Killua shouted, and sat down next to Saiki.

"How arrogant!" She shrieked and the once warm rain turned into cold chunks of hail. She smirked, until she saw Saiki, who had kept his patch of grass completely dry. "How the hell? I thought your power was teleportation!!!" She shouted.
