My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

As it turned out Celestia and Izuku were allowed to head with Mirio to visit Sir Nighteye, while Selene, on the other hand, had gotten lucky with Ryukyu, no doubt because Celestia's mentor wanted to see how her sister could operate as a hero, which she was perfectly okay with. Mirko was fine with this as well, she wasn't one to force others to follow a certain path and felt that it would be a good learning opportunity for Selene, to learn from another hero and get an idea of the other types of operations that existed in the world of heroics. Izuku, as Celestia discovered, was excited and nervous about the fact that he would be meeting All Might's only sidekick, because it meant that there was the potential for him to ask Sir Nighteye about details that weren't known to the public, relating to working with his idol. Celestia, of course, was far more interested in the lessons she could learn from the agency and less on Sir Nighteye's connection to the former No 1, because that's not what she cared about, and was looking forward to working with another hero.

It took some time to reach Sir Nighteye's agency, which turned out to be an old office building that had been changed to fit a new tenet, even though there was nothing unique about it, in comparison to the other agencies Celestia had seen, and her brother was surprised by what they were seeing.

"Now then, I'm sure you two know about Sir's reputation, right?" Mirio inquired, as he wanted to make sure they were ready to meet his boss, since that was what Sir Nighteye was to him since he had been working for him for an entire year, more than most of the interns he had interviewed, even though he suspected that Celestia was ready.

"Yeah, he's a hero known for his stoic nature whose strict with himself and others, something that is reflected in his work... and his glance can startle people." Izuku replied, where he found that his sister was just looking at the building, focusing on the hero that they would be meeting in the next few minutes, which he wasn't even remotely surprised by as he thought about it for a few moments.

"Sir's got that side to himself, that's for sure, but he has a side he doesn't show the media... sometime between when you first talk to him, and when the interview is over, you need to make him laugh." Mirio stated, which Celestia simply sighed for a moment, because that was a stupid thing to say in her opinion, all heroes respected one's ability and she suspected that Sir Nighteye actually respected discipline and hard work.

Mirio kept talking about Sir Nighteye, about how he was a sour-puss, or 'grumpy-puss' as he called him, and that he really respected humor above all else, again making Celestia wonder if he actually knew his boss as well as he thought he did, only to find a man in the main office, dressed in plain office clothing, looking over a girl in hero attire that was strapped to a device labeled 'Tickle Hell'.

"Good grief, now there's that nice high volume voice." the man, Sir Nighteye, stated, which instantly lowered Celestia's view of him, and Mirio remarked that this meant that his sidekick, Bubble Girl, must not have shown him the proper amount of humor before their arrival, causing Sir Nighteye turned and looked at them for a moment, his glare forcing Izuku to pause for a few seconds.

Celestia found that Izuku's response to Mirio's earlier comment was to put on his 'All Might' face, something he had actually practiced a lot in the past, and yet, at the same time, Sir Nighteye inquired if Izuku was mocking the former No 1, causing him to be very critical of her brother's decision. A single glance around the room told her everything she needed to know, he was an All Might collector, on a level that was beyond Izuku's level since she could see a few things that not even her brother had, despite Hisashi's efforts to make sure his children had everything they could want. Izuku then explained that he had based his facial features on a specific incident, the 'Vinegar Suicide Incident', and then they got to talking about the incident and what All Might have said when he rescued the boy who had fallen into the river, causing the entire incident after his Quirk turned the river into vinegar. It dissolved into a talk between two All Might fanatics, something that allowed Izuku to put his foot through the door despite not having the humor that Mirio had told him to present to his boss, and once that was done he instructed Izuku to come towards his desk, while she, Mirio, and Bubble Girl were told to head out into the hallway for the next three minutes.

She found out why some enough, as Sir Nighteye had no intention of stamping Izuku's paper and wanted him to spend the next three minutes trying to obtain the seal from his hand, by whatever means he deemed necessary, causing them to head out into the hallway.

"Sounds like a harsh test... your brother might fail." Bubble Girl commented, keeping her voice low so only Mirio and Celestia could hear her, even though Celestia wasn't paying too much attention to the light blue skinned girl, she was focused on the door and the sounds that were coming from it, the sounds of Izuku bouncing around in his Full Cowl.

"Maybe, maybe not. Izuku's capable of focusing on his surroundings, using his intelligence and the area to make sure he can succeed in whatever test or battle he's been thrust into." Celestia remarked, not even bringing up her brother's idiocy when they were doing the Provisional License exam, they didn't need to know that fact in the slightest, but she suspected that Sir Nighteye respected All Might enough to accept the one he picked as his successor.

It took three minutes for the test to be over, leading to them entering the room once more, and they discovered that Izuku was being hired, due to the fact that he hadn't stepped on any of the All Might merchandise during his test, confirming her thoughts on the matter, making Celestia slightly happy for her brother.

"Celestia, I won't bother testing you... your reputation and skill precedes you." Sir Nighteye stated, because when he saw her name on the list he went over everything he knew about her, her sister, and their powerful set of Quirks, one he refused to believe the existence of, and had come to the decision that he would be insane to turn her away, "I must ask: can you show me your Quirks?"

Celestia nodded as she slipped into her hybrid form without delay, keeping her wings tucked in this time around, where she found that Bubble Girl was surprised by the fact that she had such a form, while Sir Nighteye raised an eyebrow as he stared at her for a couple of seconds.

"This is my Dragon Quirk, and my hybrid form." Celestia said, allowing them to see her humanoid dragon form and how she looked in it, before she shifted her stance and the dragon aspects faded away, returning her to her base appearance, before holding out her right hand for a moment as a very small sun sphere, which caused Sir Nighteye to take a step back, which was her cue to dismiss it, "And that was Sunshine. I cannot use both at the same time... but that might change in the future."

Sir Nighteye nodded his understanding, he knew that Celestia was a hard worker and would do well in his agency, which was why he was willing to personally stamp her paper for the month long job, as he suspected that she could handle all of this in stride and would gladly accept the challenge.

The following morning, after turning in their papers and getting a good night's sleep, Celestia and Izuku headed for their new agency while Selene confirmed that she had been hired to work for Ryukyu, which was good to see, and when they reached their new workspace they changed into their hero attire without delay.

"Good to see that both of you are eager to get started. Now then, today we'll be conducting both patrol and surveillance work," Sir Nighteye stated, where he turned towards his desk for a moment and started to withdraw a file he had been in the middle of working on, no doubt since it was assigned to him, while at the same time Izuku tilted his head as Bubble Girl told them that they were in the middle of an ongoing investigation, "Mirio, you'll be in charge of Celestia and Izuku, while Bubble Girl and I do our work elsewhere. We're investigating a group called the 'Shie Hassaikai', also called the 'Eight Precepts of Death' and the 'Eightfold Cleansers', a group of Yukuza that was once dismantled by All Might and forced to go into hiding, but their Capo, their leader, is a young man called 'Chisaki' and he's been displaying odd movements."

"They even made contact with the League of Villains, but we have been unable to figure out why they did that." Bubble Girl added, handing out the picture they had of Chisaki, a young man in a suit that was wearing a plague doctor mask, which was his signature, allowing them to get a good idea of who they were looking into so they could keep their heads down if they ran into him on the street.

"My agency stealthily acquires proof of villainous activity and passes that information to the appropriate agencies, while at the same time never drawing attention to ourselves." Sir Nighteye stated, where he looked at the two newcomers and found that they understood his orders, they were going to learn the ropes from Mirio while Mirio focused on the main task, which allowed him and Bubble Girl to do their own work in another part of the city, "Now, what are your Hero Names? Mirio's is 'Lemillion'... he can tell you why later on."

"I am 'Daybreaker', bringing light to the darkness and bringing villains to justice. Izuku is 'Deku', the hero that never gives up, no matter the situation." Celestia replied, as she knew that Hero Names were important, they had been told that when they had their lesson on the matter, and while their superiors were surprised by her name, since it could be seen as a villain's, it was clear that Sir Nighteye understood and gave a slight nod, even if he was mentally criticizing Izuku's decision.

Following that they were dismissed from the building and the trio headed into their portion of the city, where Mirio allowed Celestia to spread her wings and fly overhead, causing her to nod her head before taking off, though she did have one of the ear communicators so she could receive messages or orders from Mirio or Sir Nighteye, and tell them what she found. She had a feeling that there might not be anything of importance for her to find, though she was instantly proven wrong not a few minutes later, because there was someone moving through one of the alleyways as Mirio and Izuku talked. She spotted a young girl, about six years old, with bluish off-white hair and what appeared to be a small horn on the right side of her forehead, which was likely connected to her Quirk, running from someone that wasn't Chisaki, though they were wearing a cloak to hide their identity, so it was hard to say who they were. Since they were following the girl with a knife drawn, and the girl was frightened by the dangerous figure that was following her, Celestia dropped out of the air, knocked the figure down with a blow from her feet, and scooped up the girl as she spoke into her earpiece, letting her superiors know about the event.

In the following moments she landed on the roof nearby and checked on the frightened girl, who looked up at her with big red innocent looking eyes, where Celestia noticed that there were bandages on her arms and that told her that someone had likely abused her or hurt her in some manner.

"Don't worry, you're safe now." Celestia said, where she used a bit of Sunshine on the girl, allowing the warmth to spread over the girl's body for a moment, which seemed to cut into whatever despair she had been feeling recently, in fact she it was easy for her to see a bit of hope take root in the girl's eyes, "What's your name?"

"E... Eri." the girl replied, her voice still shaking, like she had been running from someone and that she knew someone else would be looking for her in no time, though at the same time the warmth coming from Celestia seemed to be enough for her to relax as she stood up, causing the girl to cling to her.

Celestia made sure Eri was fine as she glided down to the street and headed for the nearby hospital, where she would meet up with Sir Nighteye and Bubble Girl, since they were heading to check out the villain she had knocked out, though she had a feeling that things were about to get interesting and was prepared to face whatever the coming days held in store for her, her family, and the rest of Japan.
