《Smoke (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)》Chapter 22

(Y/n) POV
Once we had arrived, Katsuki, had woken me up. I felt a bit groggy but it was all soon swept away by the feelings of pure excitement. I was about to meet Best Jeanist, and I wanted to make the best impression possible. I mean, what would he think if I showed up all angry-looking like the ash blonde beside me?
I waved a quick goodbye to my classmates and walked out alongside the explosive boy.
We made our way out of the train station after some banter on which way to go. We were both new to the area, so I had already anticipated the arguments.
We silently walked along the sidewalk to the agency building, awkward tension building around us in the air.
"So, Baku- I mean, Katsuki?" I made an effort at starting a conversation, hoping it would lead to something less uncomfortable than walking quietly.
"Hm." He grumbled, a calmer tone than usual noticeable in the simple hum.
"Are you excited for the internship? I mean, he is in the top 10 best heroes!"
"I guess so. I just hope it's not a waste of my fucking time." He growled. He seemed to be uninterested so I remained silent, not wanting to irritate him or put him in an even more sour mood than he already was, if that's even possible.
Once we had made it to the tall building, we were greeted by a lovely thin, brown haired woman behind a receptionist desk.
"Hi! How may I help you kids this morning?" She spoke softly, her words edged with a slight curiosity. I mean, what would two, seemingly average, highschool students be doing at a top notch hero agency?
"Who the fuck are you calling ki-" Katsuki cursed before I wrapped a band of solidified smoke around his mouth. Not to tight to hurt him but just enough to shut him up for a bit.

"Excuse him." I smiled politely, slightly embarrassed of the crimson eyed boy's words.
"We're here from U.A. High for our internships."
Her eyes widened slightly.
"Oh! No wonder I recognized your faces from somewhere! I saw you both in the Sports Festival! And then Best Jeanist gave me both your applications! Right this way." She exclaimed.
By this time, Katsuki had already blown the damn smoke band into smithereens, his expression absolutely priceless. I simply giggled, grabbing his arm and dragging him towards wherever she was taking us. The brunette led us into an ordinary looking elevator. She quickly pressed a button with the number '7' engraved on it before we ascended.
"The elevator is quite slow these days. Sorry about that." She blushed, embarrassed.
"Oh, it's fine." I smiled reassuringly.
We all stood in silence, waiting for the awkward ride to end. I looked around, my vision being limited to the people enclosed in the box with me. The woman seemed quite young, her early twenties maybe. She was tall and thin, beautiful long, thick brown hair cascading down her back. Her eyes were a breathtaking shade of light brown with sparse green specs in them. Easy to say, she was truly model material. My eyes then flickered to the angry ash blonde guy standing lazily beside me. His eyes were fixated on the floor, not taking a moment to look at anything else but. His hair, as usual, was spiky and unkept. Somehow, he still managed to look good in it though. His arms were folded around his chest loosely, one leg pressed against the steel wall. He was great to look at, but I turned my eyes back to my shoes, scared that he would find out I was just staring at him like some sort of creep.
I let my thoughts absorb me as I let out a quiet sigh.

Maybe I shouldn't have chosen this agency.
What if I waste my time?
Why is Katsuki being so cold?
Did I do something wro-
My doubts were interrupted by an obnoxious 'ding' and the loud sounds of elevator doors opening.
"Here we are!" The tanned woman spoke. We all shuffled out of the elevator quickly. My skin began to crawl and my stomach churned as nerves completely invaded my body.
I took in deep breath, letting the exhale wash away most of the nerves. I began to shake slightly, the room somehow getting colder than it was before.
"Mr. Jeanist! Your interns from U.A. High have arrived!" The tall girl chirped happily, a wide grin plastered on her face.
She turned to us whilst we waited for him.
"My name is Nagisa Haruhi by the way! It's very nice to meet you both!" She extended her arm toward me, offering her hand which I gladly shook.
Katsuki simply nodded, mumbling a quiet "Whatever."
"Ah yes, the two interns from U.A. High. Bakugou Katsuki and (L/n) (Y/n), correct?" The blonde hero suddenly appeared behind us, giving me a slight startle.
I shook of the small scare, Katsuki and I both nodding in unison.
"Good, now come with me."
—————————
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I NEED TO GET A HAIRCUT?!" The blonde boy's voice boomed through the office as interns, including me, giggled.
"Your hair is out of control, it needs to be refined. It's that simple." The pro- hero simply stated.
"Fine, but you better not fucking ruin it!" He yelled again, amusing me.
Let'd say that the result had Katsuki furious. His hair had morphed from a spiky, unkept, fluffy mess to a sophisticated, short, side cut.
To make it worse, one of the other interns, male may I add, sat a little too close beside me, only making Katsuki's face redder in rage.
"What do you guys think?" Best Jeanist asked the rest of the interns.
"Another perfect cut, Mr. Jeanist!" The all exclaimed together.
Okay?
"Now then, I need you both to change into these." He handed us both some tight looking, skinny jeans.
I sweat-dropped, knowing exactly how the hedgehog would react to the news.
"Why the fuck?" He growled loudly.
"Number one, watch your vocabulary. It's not very hero-like to curse like that. Especially at your age. Number two, it's simple branding. Wearing them is a requirement for my interns, or have you forgotten who your boss is?" He retorted smartly, gaining a smirk from my end. I watched as the explosive boy gritted his teeth.
"I chose the wrong fucking agency."
—————————
Nagisa took us to our designated changing rooms. Considering the fact that there were no other girls interning this week, it made sense why it'd be so damn organized. I quickly changed into the blue denim, expecting them to be more uncomfortable than they actually were. I walked out, colliding with someone as I closed the door behind me and turned.
"Oh, sorry about that, Katsuki." I smiled sheepishly, embarrassed at how clumsy I could be sometimes.
He looked me up and down, then avoided my gaze, a very light shade of pink dusting his pale cheeks.
We seemed to stand there in silence for what seemed like forever before I interrupted.
"C-can we talk later?" I spoke quietly, hoping he'd heard me so I didn't have to say it again.
"Yeah." He mumbled as we both began walking back.

Order: Slayer [Modern LITRPG Progression]
The modern world was met with a tumultuous surprise when strange portals opened, leading to other worlds, and from them came monsters who had nothing but the foulest of intentions. On that day, humanity received their greatest tool in combating this threat: the Slayer System. Those who accepted the System's power were called Slayers, and they had created a new, prosperous peace. Decades after, Alexander Shen lives in Ordo, the Slayer Capital of the world, months away from graduating at his university. Although uncertain about his future, he wishes for nothing but a normal life for himself and his younger sister. However, as another disaster strikes, finding himself in the throes of catastrophe (once again), he realizes that the stars have other plans for him. Having his normal life snatched away from him, he is determined to fight, even if it means shooting down the stars.

The people of Ordo are trapped in their own homes with monsters banging at every door. Alexander has to work with the Slayers in order to free their city from the invaders, and to protect everyone he loves. Current Arc: Arc 2 - Comet Order: Slayer is a modern LitRPG progression, inspired by works like Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. If you like a character-focused story, a system that allows for various types of magic, some romance, all with a foot in realism, then perhaps you will like this one. You will see clever characters, strong characters, absolute idiots, and more, interacting in the modern world. The story is structured into Sagas and Arcs. Sagas revolve around a central plotline comprised of multiple Arcs. Due to the premise of Saga 1, do not expect much progression in the story until the saga ends.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
