Chapter 151 Heimdall Agency



Unfortunately, the fight was postponed for another day and Satoshi gave Aquaborne a tour of his alma mater. The meeting with the principal went smoothly and now they were on their way to the Heimdall Agency, which is also located in Tokyo. While the Midoriyama Agency is located by the outskirts of Tokyo, the Heimdall Agency is located at the heart of it, and that's why it has become one of the biggest agencies in Japan.

"So, why did you want to be an intern for the Eye-Goddess?" Aquaborne asked.

It was already late in the morning and the hustle and bustle of Tokyo could already be felt. People commuting for work, not to mention the students rushing to school, filled the streets by the droves, this pushed Satoshi and Aquaborne to the edge of the sidewalk while they made their way to Heimdall Agency. Since they would just get annoyed if they didn't do anything, Aquaborne decided to strike up a conversation with Satoshi, hoping that that would extricate his mind from the current displeasure.

"She's... she's the first one to ever recruit me. And also, she was a member of the Midoriyama Agency before. I thought maybe I could learn a thing or two from her." Satoshi responded, his gaze focused on the crowd in front of him.

"I see, then why didn't you just enter your parents' agency?"

"People might say they're biased for accepting me so readily... I don't know how it is in Switzerland but here in Japan, the competition is tough when someone wants to enter a huge agency. And also, my parents have never accepted someone in their teens as part of their agency.  People are sure to ask questions if they suddenly recruit me, even as an intern." Satoshi explained.

"I can understand. Even I wouldn't want a family member's reputation to be questioned, even if it only involves the triflest of things." Aquaborne said.

Before they knew it, they found themselves in front of one of the tallest buildings in the vicinity. It was approximately twenty floors tall with its off-white color and aesthetically pleasing architecture. Satoshi gulped, he was about to meet the Eye-Goddess, formally this time, and he'll be working as a temporary intern for the entirety of summer break. He couldn't help but feel a tad bit anxious. Even the normal-looking building seemed more ominous because of what he felt.

"Well then, let's go in."

With the breathtaking image of the building outside, one might think that the interior would also appear formal. However, Satoshi and Aquaborne had concluded early. The interior of the place was actually more welcoming than they thought.

Two security guards stood by the entrance, wearing their usual uniforms. That wasn't the first thing that Satoshi noticed though, but the wooden chairs and table by the corner of the main lobby. The lights were also adorned with wooden sculptures around it, not to mention the reception desk that was made from a single piece of wood. At first, Satoshi wondered if he was in the wrong place since the main lobby looked more like a cafe than an agency. But when he noticed the white letters behind the reception area that read 'Heimdall Agency', he was brought back to his senses in an instant.

"Come on, we're not on a field trip here," Aquaborne teased.

"Ah! It's Aquaborne!"

"Why is he here?"

"Did anyone know he's coming?"

"Quick, inform the Eye-Goddess right away!"

"Gah, I want to get his autograph!"

"Can we approach him?"

A burst of energy suddenly descended on the people by the main lobby upon witnessing the one and only Aquaborne enter the agency. Some of them squealed, while some gasped in disbelief. Of course, a numbered few didn't hesitate to approach him and ask for his autograph.

"Can we take a picture with you?"

"Why not?" Aquaborne winked.

"Yay!"

While everyone was having the time of their life interacting with one of the most famous superheroes around the world, Satoshi casually made his way toward the reception area. Before he could say anything though, the receptionist just smiled at him. "I've already informed the Eye-Goddess that you've arrived. She said she'll personally escort you to her office so please wait for a moment."

"I uh... sure, thanks!" Satoshi responded, nodding his head before turning around and regrouping with Aquaborne. He retraced his steps though and just walked towards the wooden chairs by the corner of the main lobby since Aquaborne was already surrounded by a huge crowd.

"By any chance... are you... "

Satoshi was surprised to find the receptionist right in front of him.

"... Midoriyama Satoshi?"

"Yes," Satoshi nodded slowly, wondering why the woman asked her for his name when she already knew about it. After all, she was the one who informed the Eye-Goddess of his arrival.

"Is it all right if I asked for your autograph?" The woman said bashfully. "My youngest, he's a fan of yours. It will really make his day if he knew I got your autograph."

"Sure, do you have a pen and a paper?" Satoshi asked. Although he felt a modicum of nervousness since this was the first time someone asked for his autograph, he forced a smile and gave the woman what she wanted.

However, that didn't stop there. Next, three superheroes who were still on probation in Heimdall's agency approached Satoshi, asking for his autograph, then a couple of high-schoolers who passed by noticed him and requested the security guards if they could get his autograph. Pretty soon, a small crowd also surrounded Satoshi, much to his surprise. He didn't expect that he was already popular enough to give out autographs. It's as if he was in a dream, and he didn't want such a dream to end.

After all, the past where he didn't have his superpowers yet was still fresh to him. But now, he was giving out autographs as if he was already a licensed superhero.

"Ever the popular one, I see." a woman's voice gently spoke, causing Satoshi to whirl around.

A woman slightly taller than Satoshi, wearing a thick jacket, pants, and shirt, approached him, her light pinkish hair alluringly swaying around as she adjusted her sunglasses, revealing her pink irises. "Nice to finally meet you, Satoshi. You still remember our first encounter, right?"

Satoshi nodded, speechless. She didn't expect the Eye-Goddess to suddenly appear behind him.

Slowly, the crowd surrounding both Satoshi and Aquaborne dispersed, and the two of them finally had the leisure to breathe. "I still can't get used to that kind of treatment, you know. That's why, Satoshi, you should get used to it while you're young. If you're already this popular while you're still in your teenage years, you'll attract an even bigger crowd when you grow up." Aquaborne pointed out.

"And what is the great Aquaborne doing here?" Eye-Goddess greeted, extending her hand. Aquaborne obliged to shake it.

"Oh, I have to talk to you about something."

"Yes, you were going to ask me if your daughter could join my agency as an intern over the summer break as well, right?" Eye-Goddess responded. She had already seen the future, after all.

"So, is she in?" Aquaborne wasn't even surprised that Eye-Goddess easily guessed the purpose of his visit. But then again, it's not like he was trying to hide it.

"I'll be the judge of that. Do you have her files?"

"No, she'll just show you her superpowers when she applies. Besides, she'll only be here during the summer break." He continued.

"Is she going to attend the United Superheroes Academy?"

"Yes, I guess that was pretty obvious?" Aquaborne scratched his head. "She personally wanted to study there so I just let her. Besides, I wanted her to meet a lot of superheroes in her generation. I mean, there aren't really a lot of formidable superheroes in our country."

"I was just guessing though since there are a lot of students transferring to United Superheroes Academy starting this fall... it's probably because of this guy over here, who managed to win in the Inter-High Tournament although his entire team consisted of first-years."

"We just got lucky," Satoshi responded, forcing a smile on his face. "There were a lot of strong candidates and I even almost died twice."

"Yeah, I've seen that footage where your body got shredded. Man, I wonder why they didn't censor that... your comeback was pretty cool though." Aquaborne flashed a thumbs up towards Satoshi.

"Why don't we head over to my office, let's have a cup of coffee while we talk over your internship, Aquaborne can join us as we— " Suddenly, Eye-Goddess stopped short as her eyes gazed outside.

Satoshi and Aquaborne's gaze followed Eye-Goddess's and they realized she was staring at a random building across the street. She didn't speak a word, which was weird since they knew that Eye-Goddess is usually talkative, even in her interviews she couldn't be any more lively.

And yet not, she showed the exact opposite.

"Never mind, I guess we're going outside," Eye-Goddess said. "Satoshi, I guess this is your first assignment as an intern,"
