Toga Himiko was unhappy after seeing the two women. She, being so cute, should have held a supreme position here, but now two people with looks no less than hers had appeared. No matter how she looked at it, she felt displeased.

Yang Xiao was truly dumbfounded. He could be sure that this world was one of the parallel worlds of My Hero Academia, otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen in the world? Members of the "Yorozuya" appearing in this world as members of the "Problem Solver"… it was truly marvelous.

"Fortunately, you two joined, otherwise it might have been..." the little loli in the red qipao said, shrugging her shoulders with a relaxed tone.

"What, what might have been?" Toga Himiko took a step forward, looking at the loli in the red qipao with an unfriendly tone.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We're all family now, what's there to fuss about," Wu Shiyin chuckled, then pointed at the girl in the red qipao and said, "Let me introduce the members of the Problem Solver. This is Kagura, one of my core members of the Problem Solver."

Wu Shiyin continued to introduce, "This is Shinpachi Shimura, and that beautiful lady is Tae Shimura. The two are siblings and are also core personnel of the Problem Solver."

Then Wu Shiyin introduced Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko, and everyone got acquainted.

Yang Xiao felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. Whether it was Kagura, Shinpachi Shimura, or Tae Shimura, although the names were slightly different, they were undoubtedly of that archetype. They were just too similar.

"Alright, back to business. Now I'm going to tell you two what the true core of the Problem Solver does." Wu Shiyin's playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by a serious one.

Yang Xiao became curious. The Problem Solver was so mysterious, it must be involved in shady business. But it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. If the Problem Solver was involved in the underworld, he, Yang Xiao, would leave if he had to.

"Have a seat..." Wu Shiyin had everyone sit down before he began to speak, mainly addressing Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko.

"The Problem Solver was established for a full twenty years. For the first twelve years, another senior was in charge here. He died due to a mission failure. At that time, I was just one of the members of the Problem Solver. After that incident, the other members began to disperse, so I was the only one managing the Problem Solver today."

Wu Shiyin continued, "The existence of the Problem Solver is mainly to serve those in need. Of course, the core Problem Solver is different from what you two experienced before. The Problem Solver here takes on jobs that require killing people!"

Yang Xiao's eyes flickered. As expected, the Problem Solver was like an assassin organization. Someone would place an order, and the Problem Solver would act, receiving payment after resolving the matter.

"Of course, the Problem Solver never does evil deeds. The people to be killed are all bad people with criminal records, or criminals, or those who are utterly wicked. In short, none of them are good people."

Only when Wu Shiyin said this did Yang Xiao breathe a sigh of relief. If it was an organization that punished evil people, then it was more acceptable.

Afterward, Wu Shiyin spoke about the rules and precautions of the Problem Solver, covering all aspects. This allowed Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko to understand it well.

"You two don't have any strength, so after becoming core members, you'll stay here to handle orders and organize cases. The other three will handle other matters," Wu Shiyin said, patting Yang Xiao on the shoulder.

Yang Xiao actually knew this would be the outcome. Wu Shiyin wouldn't know his true strength. To Wu Shiyin, he was just a high school student about to enter high school. What kind of strength could a high school student have? What kind of heaven-defying Quirk could he possess?

So Wu Shiyin's decision was very normal. Even if Wu Shiyin asked Yang Xiao to go to the front lines, he wouldn't go. Currently, his strength was not enough to face unknown dangers. Who knew how many powerful individuals existed in this world?

Therefore, the most stable approach was to develop slowly. With the Problem Solver as a protective umbrella, covering him and Toga Himiko, there was nothing to worry about for now.

"Gin-san, I don't want to be with Yang Xiao every day..." Toga Himiko felt a bit strange. If this was the case, only she and Yang Xiao would be working in the core area every day.

"What, he lets you off every day, and you still have complaints?" Wu Shiyin looked at Toga Himiko strangely, not understanding what she was thinking.

Toga Himiko knew that explaining this kind of thing would be troublesome, and she herself felt strange about it, so she simply stopped talking.

"Since there are no problems, the work can begin. Considering Yang Xiao has to go to school, you can report to the Problem Solver every day after school. Work ends at 10 PM," Wu Shiyin said, looking at Yang Xiao. He couldn't be too harsh on students.

"The work ends two hours later? Is there a salary increase?" Yang Xiao was still more concerned about his salary at the moment. After all, this was a realistic society; without money, nothing could be discussed.

"At such a young age, you're already obsessed with money," Wu Shiyin chuckled. "Don't worry, after joining the core hub, your salary will increase severalfold. Just wait to get paid at the end of the month."

"Kid, work hard. Your future is limitless, haha." Shinpachi Shimura laughed heartily, then stood up and walked in front of Yang Xiao. He pushed up his glasses and said, "The Problem Solver can not only train you into an intelligence officer but also train you into a strong fighter. When I first joined the Problem Solver, I was about the same as you. Now, hehe~"

His smile was full of meaning. Yang Xiao couldn't quite figure out Shinpachi Shimura's strength, but was the Problem Solver really that powerful?

If that was the case, he could improve his strength at U.A. High School, and then improve his strength again when he returned to the Problem Solver. It would be a complete win-win situation.

Would the other three transmigrators be as lucky as him?

This was a question worth pondering.

Ponder my ass! The other three don't even know where they are, so what's there to ponder!

"Gin-san, I'm a bit sleepy, so I'm going back first. Shinpachi, remember to lock the door when you come back later!" Tae Shimura covered her mouth with her hand and yawned.

"Tae-shima, going back so early? Today is the day new members join, aren't you going out for a drink together?" Wu Shiyin tried to persuade her.

"Drink your head!" Tae Shimura's expression stiffened. "Have you forgotten what happened last time we drank?"

"Uh~" Wu Shiyin was instantly stunned. The scene of drinking last time was still vivid in his memory. He had drunk too much and touched Tae Shimura's... that... the result...

The consequences were unimaginable. For that week, Wu Shiyin felt like he was living in hell.

Yang Xiao, based on his understanding, could guess some clues. He felt that the core of the Problem Solver was a place that was both enjoyable and 'enjoyable'.

He would probably get along well with everyone, yes, probably...
