"Today, we'll be patrolling and monitoring," Sir Nighteye said. "Bubble Girl will go with me, while [Name], Midoriya, and Mirio will operate as a separate unit."

Izuku's ears perked up. "Monitoring? What are we monitoring?"

"The Nighteye office is currently working on a secret investigation," Bubble Girl explained. She glanced towards Sir Nighteye for affirmation, to which he nodded his head.

"We're focused on a small, organized crime group called the Shie Hassaikai," he said. "Their young leader, Chisaki Kai, has been making strange moves lately."

Shie Hassaikai...!

You hadn't expected for things to fall into place so perfectly. And if that wasn't enough, Sir Nighteye proceeded to pull out a picture of the man in question and show it to both you and Izuku. With that familiar eerie-looking plague mask and his distinct golden eyes, there was no mistaking it. He was undoubtedly the same man who'd appeared in your dream.

You'd made the right call in choosing to work under Sir Nighteye. It was also a relief to know that they were already looking into things. Hopefully, you could convince them that it was urgent. No hero would be able to turn away from a child in need.

"His mask looks kind of scary," Izuku remarked. "But I thought yakuza groups were laying low nowadays?"

"It's true that most yakuza aren't as active as they once were in the past, but Chisaki has been gathering forces for some reason. He even made contact with the League of Villains recently, although we don't know the exact details as of yet."

He's even in dealings with the League? This is sounding worse by the second.

Sir Nighteye let out a sigh. "It's important to keep in mind that we have yet to acquire evidence of any wrongdoing, so we can't treat the Shie Hassaikai as fully-fledged villains. We hope to eventually find concrete evidence of criminal activity, while being careful not to attract their attention, of course."

Right. That made sense. As badly as you wanted to speak up about things, at the end of the day, it was only a hunch you had based on what Aphrodite had shown you. Odds were that something really was going on, but you needed to find some way to prove your suspicions before acting on them.

"Anyways," Sir Nighteye said, adjusting his glasses. "Just keep that in mind while you go on your patrols. Mirio, I trust you'll do a good job of guiding the new hires."

"Of course, Sir! You can count on me!"

You did your best to maintain your smile as you walked side-by-side with Izuku and Mirio. It was unlikely that you would get any evidence on the first day, after all. That didn't mean you were going to completely let your guard down, but you could probably afford to relax a bit.

"I'm kind of nervous," Izuku admitted, unintentionally voicing your exact thoughts.

Mirio gave him a curious look. "Didn't you go on patrols before during your previous internship? Or are you feeling a bit apprehensive because you're used to being caught in villain attacks?"

"Um, not really. I just feel like I still don't have much practical experience in the field," Izuku admitted shyly.

"Ah, I see. But don't worry about it!" Mirio reassured, eagerly pumping his fist in the air. "Sir is the one monitoring the target's headquarters today. We're just in charge of patrolling the area. I'll make sure to show both of you the ropes!"

You had to admit that you felt a lot more at ease thanks to Mirio. He'd already showcased his incredible strength when he'd easily beat your entire class. Izuku was absurdly strong too, and only getting stronger, by the looks of things. Although your physical exploits certainly couldn't compare to theirs, your powers were also quite useful. Together, the three of you would have each other's backs.
