Agency Applications

"Now that everyone has decided on their hero names, let's return to the topic of the Work-Study Program. This Work-Study Program will last for a week. As for the key workplace location, I will distribute the list to all the applicants shortly, and you can choose from it yourselves. 88 Reading,..."

"As for those students who did not receive an application, the school has already entrusted 40 agencies across the country to receive you. You can choose one of them. The Pro Hero have different areas of activity and expertise, so you must think carefully before making a decision."

After class, Jilan Jiyu looked at the list that had been handed out and started to feel a headache coming on. Although it only had the names of the hero agencies that had sent applications written on it, there were more than three thousand applications, which filled several pages.

Fortunately, the school categorized the agencies by region, and agencies from Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido, and almost every part of the country sent applications.

Denki Kaminari leaned over for a look, then patted Jilan on the shoulder in surprise. "Jilan, I'm a little envious of you. You have so many applications to choose from..."

"Although there are many applications, a lot of them are of questionable quality. Who knows if you'll get good training there?" Jilan glanced at Kaminari. "You've received dozens of applications too, right? Most of them probably see your potential. Just choose a suitable one, and the Pro Hero will definitely give you appropriate guidance."

Denki Kaminari clenched his fist and smiled confidently, "Next time we meet, I won't be defeated so easily!"

"I didn't defeat you, you just fell for my provocation." Jilan stood up, holding the name tag. "I suggest you install a few batteries in your combat suit; that would increase your stamina."

"I'm very persistent!" Kaminari, shouting indignantly, then thought carefully, "Actually, it's a good idea, but it's not cool at all..."

Jilan sighed, "Do you really think it's cool to act like a strongman?"

"Whether you're strong or not is temporary, but whether you're handsome or not is for life..."

Jilan walked towards the back of the classroom. Hearing Kaminari's mutterings, she stumbled slightly, turned around, and said helplessly, "Just a friendly reminder, excessive electricity use might cause baldness. (88 Reading... o≮)"

"Eh!? Jilan, you're telling me you're joking, right? You're joking, right!?"

Ignoring Kaminari's lament, Jilan Jiyu went to Hong, placed the list on his desk, and smiled, saying, "I think you can tell me why, right?"

On Jilan's application list, the name Endeavor Hero Agency was prominently displayed.

Shoto Todoroki glanced at it and calmly said, "That guy also sent you an invitation. He probably wants you to train with me."

Does this mean that Shoto Todoroki also received Endeavor's application?

Are you going to see him?

Jilan knows a little about Shoto Todoroki's family and knows that he harbors hatred towards Endeavor, which is why he refuses to use fire. But now, after having a conversation with Endeavor after the Sports Festival, it's unclear whether that has changed his mind.

Shoto Todoroki nodded. "I have no reason to refuse... Jilan, are you going?"

All Might doesn't own an agency, meaning that Endeavor's agency, ranked second on the hero rankings, is already one of the top in the country. Going there would definitely provide excellent training, especially since he'd be going with Endeavor's son, Todoroki. He certainly wouldn't be stingy with any resources...

However, I refused.

Jilan Jiyu shook their heads. "His place isn't suitable for me."

Endeavor witnessed the man self-destruct that day. Although the man didn't suspect him, Endeavor didn't see any reason to approach him.

Shoto Todoroki didn't care, since incompatibility was already the biggest reason.

"Also, I lost the bet last time." Shoto Todoroki took out a ten-thousand-yen bill and handed it to Jilan Jiyu. "This is the wager."

What Jilan said before the match was just to get Todoroki to use fire; he didn't really take the bet seriously. But since he did, the 10,000 yen would just cover the expenses for ordering Ibara Shiozaki around.

As Jilan took the money and prepared to leave, Hong suddenly stood up and calmly said, "You're right, my fire and ice skills aren't well-coordinated. I'll correct this weakness as soon as possible. Then, it's time for our battle."

You all love fighting so much, can't you just be peaceful...?

"Fine, I'm looking forward to it." Jilan rolled her eyes.

At the Sports Festival, Jilan was Kaminari, Todoroki, Bakugo, and Iida, who forfeited. Kaminari and Todoroki had already expressed their stance, Jilan could understand. However, Bakugo kept looking at him with a resentful gaze, which made him feel somewhat helpless. "You won, after all..."

Then, it's Iida.

Jilan walked up to Iida and asked, seemingly casually, "Iida, have you chosen your university major yet?"

Iida paused for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Class President, I'm so sorry I had to withdraw from the competition at the last minute without telling you beforehand!"

Jilan was somewhat surprised by Iida's withdrawal from the competition. While chatting with Camie Utsushimi in the basement, he learned about the attack on Pro Hero Ingenium and the reason for his withdrawal. He was also quite concerned about Ingenium's condition, but he hadn't had time to check on him in the past two days. Now, he took the opportunity of inquiring about his volunteer activities to ask him.

"It's nothing to do with this, it's just..." Jilan shook her head, "How is your brother?"

Yesterday, Jilan learned from Diduo about a devastating incident five years ago that resulted in heavy casualties among Pro Hero. Today, while Search information about Stain, the perpetrator of the attack on Ingenium, she learned that he had been continuously murdering Pro Hero over the past few years...

Pro Hero is truly a high-risk profession.

"So the class president knows about my brother's situation too..." A shadow fell over Iida's eyes, but it quickly dissipated. He smiled and said, "My brother isn't in any danger, and he's gradually recovering. The internship I've chosen is at my brother's former firm. I want to fill in for him for a while."

"Hosu City..." Jilan nodded. There was nothing unreasonable about Iida wanting to go to the agency where her brother was attacked. "But... you need to be careful. The culprit might still be hiding somewhere."

When Iida heard Jilan say to be careful, a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes. He quickly changed the subject. "Class President, have you chosen a location for your Work-Study Program yet?"

"I haven't yet, because there are so many places to choose from. If possible, I'd like to choose a small place for my internship..."

Small place? Iida quickly understood. "The class president is trying to avoid media interviews because of the fame from the concert, right?"

"Ah, that's right, even though it's raining today, there are still a lot of reporters gathered at the school gate..."

To avoid reporters on her way to school that morning, Jilan deliberately stuck her hair up in the air, made a fierce face, and swaggered into school like Bakugo. Even though she was the champion of the Sports Festival, no one interviewed her...

Iida understood that feeling. These past two days at the hospital, reporters had been constantly trying to come in to inquire about his brother's condition, but they were all stopped at the door by Iida's mother, a former Pro Hero. Watching the reporters with their cameras and microphones practically shoved into his mouth, he couldn't possibly show a pleasant expression.

The next class was taught by Cementoss. He stood on the podium, smiling as he watched the excited crowd slowly stop their discussion before allowing them to open their textbooks.

"Jilan, go to the principal's office during lunch break. The principal wants to see you." Cementoss said this before class.
