Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 117 - Stuck in this state

A/N I know the previous chapter was a little underwhelming, but it wouldn't mess well with this chapter, so I had to split it up.

Also, I would really like to thank everyone who comments on my story. I know I'm not the best writer out there, but you guys keep on commenting and it really helps me see how I can improve the story in terms of writing and plot.

-----------------------

Midoriya gently massaged his shoulder as he made his way to Fukukado's agency, Shinsou walking right beside him. They had bumped into each other in the common room while eating breakfast, and the taller boy just happened to have his internship at another agency that was near the same train station, so the duo just decided to take the train together and split ways when the time came.

"You okay?" Shinsou asked, concerned, and Midoriya just nodded; he had been hit in the shoulder by a metal bat the previous day while patrolling with Kesagiriman, cracking it slightly, and while Shuzenji did heal it up when he got back to the dorms, since Kesagiriman had been pretty insistent that he check it out, the annoying, achy feeling still lingered uncomfortably.

Not like Midoriya was going to let that stop him from continuing on his work studies, though. He's dealt with worse.

Shinsou paused, staring at the map on his phone, before looking up at the street signs, "I'm supposed to turn left here? I guess we're splitting ways..."

Midoriya peered at his phone, glancing at the map, and Shinsou turned to Midoriya, "Where's your agency?"

Midoriya just made the digital map on Shinsou's phone smaller, and pointed out the location of Fukukado's agency to Shinsou. The two agencies weren't that far apart, being only a few streets away, and Shinsou offered, "Want to take the train back together? I think the end times of our work studies are the same, and the agencies are pretty close together. We can grab dinner before heading back to UA."

Midoriya didn't mind Shinsou's company, and it was nice to hang out with someone he was comfortable with and trusted instead of being surrounded by total strangers, so he just nodded, and Shinsou grinned, turning the corner, "Alright. I'll come find you later. Bye!"

Midoriya watched as Shinsou walked in the direction of his agency, before continuing on his way towards Fukukado's agency, when the sound of footsteps rang out, and someone yelled, "Oh hey! Midoriya!"

Midoriya turned, only to see a somewhat familiar black haired male running to him, and internally scowled.

"I didn't think we'd end up meeting up again so soon!" Shindo laughed, catching up to the smaller boy, "Ms Joke said that there would be another intern joining for today, and I didn't think that it'd be you!"

Midoriya really just wanted to tell the annoying black haired boy to shut up. Shindo was annoying, and Midoriya detested him. Not to mention that Midoriya was wary of the older boy's quirk; Shindo had a Vibrate quirk that was powerful in both long-range and short-range attacks, and Midoriya had no idea if he was capable of defeating the second year in a fair, one on one fight.

Dealing with the Smile Hero and her outburst quirk was going to be terrible and annoying enough, but having to deal with the two-faced snake known as Shindo as well? This internship was going to be a total nightmare.

"I was actually working with Nakagame, you know, that blonde girl; you've probably seen her during the Provisional Licence Exam. But then, she kind of got called by an agency to work for a few days, and Ms Joke decided to let me follow her, kind of like work studies, while waiting for her to be done." Shindo explained as they walked, even though Midoriya had not asked for any explanation whatsoever.
