"internship ii"

GYORO GYORO SINGAL EYE GLAZED DOWN AT SHOUSUKE. Although it didn't have a mouth Shousuke could tell that the monster was excited for some fun as Gyoro made its way to Shousuke.

"My, my." The monster started. "I am glad that you are now here. Welcome to my humble base of operation hero." Gyoro then looked better at Shousuke and noticed the immense power that was spiralling around the younger. "You are indeed someone I must deal with personally. Zero... A Hero In Training. You are indeed an Esper Prodigy!"

Suddenly the building they were in started shaking causing all the people who were living there to wake up. Haganezuka also noticed that it was shaking and turned around expecting Shousuke to be right behind him but the younger was not.

Then a bright purple light beamed across his face as he looked through a gigantic hole that was in the middle of a brick wall that lead to the outside view. The older looked up and spotted Shousuke causal floating as he stared ff Gyoro. 'Zero!' He thought. Something told him that this wasn't going to be a simple clash between Shousuke and Gyoro so he started running to each room of the apartment and started banging on their doors, to get everyone to evacuate.

The monster started getting larger and larger to the point it was now towing over Shousuke but the younger didn't seem to care. "My name Is Gyoro Gyoro," It introduced. "I am the military advisor for the monster association! And the one who will create a new world! Centring around Monsters.

'So what?' Shousuke though... He found this whole introduction process boring. There was no point for Gyoro to introduce Himself if the younger already knew who the monster was. "Are you the boss of this lot, are you not?"

Not liking that response Gyoro's eye curled up almost that of a smile and said. "Drop dead." Suddenly, the ground beneath him trembled once again, causing chunks of debris to rise into the air and encircle Shousuke.

In an instant, they converged into a tightly-knit cluster and plummeted towards Shousuke. In an attempt to defeat Shousuke, Gyoro made a daring move to compact the rocks into a small, powerful sphere, ready to crush his opponent.

As Gyoro's grip on the rock grew tighter, the cluster of stones started to diminish in size. The monster had no doubt that the youth had been crushed to death, as it witnessed a single drop of blood escape from Shousuke's head.

The sphere abruptly halted and slipped out of Gyoro's grasp, leaving the monster bewildered. The rocks of the spheres trembled violently as powerful tendrils of white electricity began to encircle the sphere containing Shousuke.

With a sudden burst of immense strength, Shousuke managed to free himself effortlessly, completely unscathed.

"Is that all you got?" The younger one now holds the questions that were once like heavy rocks and chunks of buildings crushing him. Shousuke unleashed a flurry of boulders towards Gyoro Gyoro, who frantically summoned a psychic barrier just in the nick of time. However, Shousuke's unstoppable force overwhelmed the feeble defence, effortlessly shattering Gyoro Gyoro's psychic barrier and severing the monster's arm in one swift motion.

'He pierced through my barrier! Tsk... At this rate, things are looking bad.' Gyoro Gyoro thought but decides to use its maximum power and fight with its true form. As Gyoro Gyoro unleashes the full extent of its power, its body increases several times in size, and several eyes begin to pop up on several parts of its body

"Hehehehehe! Shousuke!" Gyoro Gyoro called out. "This is your first time witnessing a superior esper? Well, enjoy this to your heart's content!!!"

"GRAVITY TIME 300" Gyoro Gyoro shouted. "I'LL CRUSH YOU LIKE A DRIED PERSIMMON!!!."

Gyoro Gyoro proceeds to use its psychic powers to surround Shousuke with high gravity wave. Those waves were able to force Shousuke to fall to the ground hoping that he would stick there but it all was just a false illusion to Gyoro.

The monster's expectation of the younger person being affected by the intense gravity around Shousuke was not met, as no harm was caused.

"As you would expect from a superior esper this fell good," Shousuke commented as he started to roll his shoulders back and forwards. 'A bit more pressure on the right shoulder perhaps?' Shousuke had just switched to a new pillow the previous night and his shoulders have been feeling a bit stiff after waking up that morning.

Once Shousuke's eyes moved forward and started deep at Gyoro Gyoro. The monster suddenly self its insidious sweating. One by one Gyoro Gyoro's limbs were being ripped off its body, this was a demonstration of Shousuke's superior power. This continued until Shousuke finally reached Gyoro's main body, with a slight twist of his hands. Blood spewed out of Gyoro

"LORD OROCHI!! HELP ME!!" GYORO Gyoro Shouted as he tried to get out of Shousuke's psychic hold.

'Calling out for your daddy? Pathetic.' Shousuke thought as he started pulling the of Gyoro Gyoro part. Just the Shousuke had gripped onto something that seemed to be the main body inside of Gyoro Gyoro.

Taking a closer look. Shousuke noticed that there was a person underneath. "Zero!" Haganezuka called out as he just finishes evacuate everything from the building. "Did you get him?" He questioned but just before Shousuke could nod back at him there was a sudden explosion. That cause electrical sparks that led to a huge fire.

Shousuke quickly looked at Gyoro's dismembered body and saw that it was not there. Suddenly there was a dark figure flying at Shousuke which cause the young boy to be knocked out of the air and lands in Haganezuka's arms.

Shousuke ground in pain and looked up and noticed that it was a Nomu. It was a flying one and it was soaring through the air attacking anything it gets its hands on. Shosuke looked back and noticed that there were military groups on Nomu running towards the civilians.

"Shousuke!" Hearing his first name Shousuke looked to where the voice was coming from and noticed that it was. Midoriya. "Have you seen Iida-" Before he could finish he was suddenly attacked by a Nomu but the monster's attack was stopped when it was squished into bother but a small ball.

Midoriya was taken aback by this, and that was when he noticed a choice that was going around Shousuke. "Shousuke! What happened?!" He questioned as he was suddenly lifted up in the air and brought to a safe place by Shousuke.

"Things just got a little out of hand." He said through Midoriya's mind. "Go look for Iida, he's probably gone to go look for hero killer: Stain to get revenge on what he didn't to his brother... But I have a bad feeling about the whole ambush..."

"What about you!" Midoriya shouted. He didn't want to leave one of his best friends behind... What if Something happened to the purple-haired boy with him absent? Be the new Shousuke was right. Iida was probably with Hero Killer.

Shousuke sighed and looked back at Midoriya with his normal stocked face, but for some reason, Midoriyta felt a wave of peace and claimed ness pass over him when he look at Shousuke. "Don't worry about me. I'll catch up with you later."

Midoriya was hesitant to leave, but he knew he had no choice but to. Once Midoiya was gone. The wind started picking as all the Nomu were about to reach the civil stopped moving for they were all forced into the air.

Amidst the collective curiosity of the civils, their eyes darted around in search of the mysterious origin of such immense power, until finally, their gaze converged upon none other than Shousuke. They observed in awe as a colossal whirlwind was conjured to shield them and obliterate the encroaching Nomus.

"Wahhhhh!!! Mommy!!" A young child wept as he described the dire situation he and his mother found themselves in - trapped inside a blazing building.

"S-someone help us." The mother cried as she held onto her son tightly. Just as Shousike was about to grab that a Nomu fly past his eyes. He noticed that the Nomu was a special one... One that had a quirk and could use it.

Arrows appeared out of The Nomu's body as it resited it towards the little family. When the Mother few she instantly shielded her child from the body expecting to be penetrated but she was.

She felt a sudden sense of cold wave over her body as she was not outside of the building and on safe ground. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her savour.

"A hero!" The little boy exclaimed.

Stepping in front of the small family. Shosuk watched as the Nomu came charging at them. It suddenly stopped mid-air and was frozen in the air with Shousuke's own force.

Shousuke charged up a surge of electricity in the palm of his hand, unleashing it directly towards the Nomu. He heartlessly witnessed Nomu's devastating explosion, completely obliterating everything in its path.

Turning around Shouske extended his hand out to help the wind stand up. "Thank you." She said with a bright smile. " I don't know what would have happened if you weren't here."

"Are you hurt, ma'am?" Shousuke asked. She shook her head. "Good... Please evacuate the area."

With a sudden change of focus, Shousuke's body began to emit a brilliant green glow, casting its enchanting light upon the other civilian nearby. Strange for anyone but him. The civilian also began to emit the same color as Shousuke. They were all slightly startled by this, but a surge of relief swept over them. They noticed that all of their wounds, bruises, and bloodstains had disappeared, completely wiped away.

"THANK YOU!!" They cried as they were taken to safety.

Suddenly, Shousuke's phone vibrated in his pocket, alerting him to a missed call from Midoriya. However, he realized that the call had come in over an hour ago, suggesting that Midoriya had been somewhere nearby at that time. An unsettling feeling crept into his mind, alerting him of an impending danger. With determination, he swiftly returned his phone to his pocket and prepared to hastily make his way to Midoriya's whereabouts.

"W-Wait! What you're hero's name!" The little boy shouted he got down from his mother's hold and ran to Shousuke, Shousuke stopped and turned around to the boy and patted him on the head.

"Zero."

And with that Shousuke let. He flew in the air and left a trail of a purple light flowing through him. The young boy watched Shosuke fly off with so much determination.

"Mommy?" The boy called as his mother picked him up again. "Do you think I'll be like Mr Zero?" He asked cutely.

The woman chuckled and hugged her son tightly before turning around and making her way to where the other Civilians were. "Of course, Genji~"

"MIDORIYA!!" IIDA AND TODOROKI SHOUTED. Midoriya was suddenly swooped up from the by a Nomu. But The Nomu didn't go far as Stain had recovered and used his quirk to stop it. He had saved Midoriya by grabbing the Nomu and stabbing its brain.

"The phonies that have overrun society with fake heroes and criminals who so aimlessly sprinkle around their power. Those are the targets of my purge! ALL OF THIS IS FOR THE SAKE OF A JUST WORLD." Stain stated in spite of his heavily injured body.

"He saved the boy!"

"No, Idiot, he's his hostage!"

"What baster kills people without hesitation!"

"Shut up for now and assume your battle position!" As the pro heroes prepared to fight Endeavour appeared.

"What are you all doing just standing around!" Endeavour shouted. Seeing the No. 2 hero Sains seemed to be enraged by his arrival and challenged all heroes around to fight.

"The bandages around his face all fell and he turned to the heroes. "You fakes..." A malicious aura that paralyzed everyone in fear, even making Endeavor step back.

Just as Hero Killer was about to attack his perforated lungs caused him to lose consciousness.

"He lost consciousness."

Suddenly the ground started shaking. All of them united behind the enigmatic hero slayer, only to be confronted by the sight of an enormous octopus. It was large than a skyscraper.

"What the hell is that thing!" Midoriya exclaimed as he saw the octopus fight off something that was in the air but non of the pros could see what it was.

When the Octopus grabbed hold of that thing, there it into a seven-story abandoned building. The heroes quickly got to other feet and tried to stop the octopus, but suddenly it started flying. The octopus was illuminated with a purple light so that the students from UA knew where it came from.

There was Shouske he was right above the monsters creating it. Where the Octopus tentacles stuck created holes in rodes. The uses his powers he compressed the octopus into a giant ball and crushed the octopus-like an empty soda can, squirting blood in the process,

Some of them almost land on Shousuke but are prevented from doing so by a psychic barrier he puts up. One of the pro heros present remarks that he's crushing the octopus-like an empty soda can. The esper thrusts the monster into the ground, having compressed it into a giant ball and effectively killing it.

Shousuke flew down and landed in front of everyone he was confused at what they were staring at until he saw Hero Killer: Stain's body stand up while he was unconscious.

"...Did I miss anything?"

SHOUSUKE SIGHED UNDER HIS BREATH as he tried to get into a comfortable position.

Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki, and Shousuke all shared a hospital room. Having been treated for their injury and left to rest for the remaining night.

Midoriya left arm had suffered severe nerve damage. One of Iida's arms was broken while the other was stabbed hench the reason why he was wearing to cast. Todoroki's left hand was also stabbed but not as badly as Iida so he had A cloth wrapped around it. As for Shousuke, he had one broken rib because he was thrown into some building by the octopus and also had some bruises around his arm and leg but this was just the drawback of his quirk. If he heals too many people at a time the other his body will start taking the effects.

Shousuke grumbled silently as he once more lay on his side. He still can't get comfortable. 'It's so cold...' He thought as he sat up from his bed.

His eyes flicked over to the bed of his three classmates. All of them were resting silently. Heck even Midoriya was practically snoring as he slept in the bed in front of him. With all that went on that day, you can't blame the guy for wanting a good night's rest.

Shousuke thought as he turned around as saw Iida occasionally talking in his sleep and... chopping in his sleep?! 'How can he sleep easily with two broken arms...'

Finally, he turned his gaze to Todorki's bed that was across from his. Suddenly cold breeze blew from an open window and into the room which made Shousuke shiver again.

He then started thinking back to the time when he resting on Todorokis's shoulder while on their way to and from USJ. The heteroromantic-eyed male was warm a balance of both warmth and cold. Something was easy to put Shousuke to sleep.

Shousuke sighed and ran his fingers right through his hair as he pushed it back. Shousuke then glanced back over at Todoroki's bed and noticed that he was awake.

"Are you cold?" He quietly whispered to Shousuke to which the latter nodded yes too. Todoroki's then looked at his bed and patted a pace behind him. "Come."

With that Shousuke followed. The younger would rather stay word than freeze until morning. Shousuke softly slid out of his bed and crept to Todoroki's. Shoto ad already made a space for Shousuke.

Shousuke then gently lowered himself into the bad, careful not to aggravate his wounds. Wordlessly Shousuke used his power to cover both him and Shoto.

"Lean on your side, that will take the pressure off your ribs," Shoto whispered and Shousuke followed his words by turning to the right reliving the pressure from his broken ribs.

But realisation suddenly snapped in him that he would basically be hugging Shousuke like a giant pillow.

He was about to lay back on his back,
