MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

Hitoshi crossed yet another company off their list as Izuku dialled the net number, "I think it's time we start looking into some plan Bs."

"Yeah." Izuku sighed as the phone rang on speaker. "I was hoping this would work out, but it's looking like it's not going to."

The phone stopped ringing and Izuku scrambled as a voice answered on the other end, "Hello, you've reached the Help Us Company, HUC for short. How can I help you today?"

Joke: They shouldn't mind some kids trying to join up, right?

Aizawa: I don't think so, unless the age limit becomes a problem.

"Um, yes, hello!" Izuku said brightly. "Your company provides civilians for hero training exercises right?"

"Yes, that would be correct." The receptionist replied. "That's actually the entire point of our company!"

Dabi: I wonder how much they actually earn. Like seriously, there aren't that many hero schools that require civilians for training exercises are there?

Spinner: Why would we know?

"And do you ever provide other services," Shinso asked. "Like villains for things like that?"

"Not normally." the receptionist hummed. "The hero commission normally prefers to have heroes fill those roles when possible. May I know why you're asking? You seem a little young to be hiring our services."

Midnight: Not hiring.

"Um, yeah, a little." Izuku grimaced. "We're looking more along the lines of employment opportunities?"

"We're going to be trying for hero schools this next year." Shinso clarified. "So we were hoping to volunteer as villains and get some actual combat experience."

"That would give you an edge." The receptionist said. "But unfortunately, like I said, we don't really provide that series and even if we did we have an age limit of at least 16 for our employees. I... actually, there's a possibility... let me... is it alright if I put you on hold real quick?"

Kendo: That sounds promising!

Monoma: Don't hold your breath.

"Yeah, sure?" Izuku frowned and turned to Shinso as jazzy hold music filled the room, "Well, that's... promising?"

Shinso shrugged, "More than the other places that just politely laughed in our faces."

Iida: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really want to punch someone.

Tsu: Yeah, no, fair.

Izuku nodded in agreement and was about to say something else when the hold music suddenly cut out, "Alright, are you still there?"

"Yeah, we are." Shinso said. "What do you have for us?"

"Well, it's not a guarantee, but our company has been contracted to be the civilians for an upcoming training exercise and I believe they are looking for villains as well." The receptionist said. "However, they might also have an age requirement just like we do."

Spinner: Better than nothing.

Dabi: They're doing better than Mastermind at least.

"That's..." Izuku hurried and reached for the notebook that Shinso was practically shoving into his hands. "That's better than nothing. Uh, do you know where we can find out more?"

"I can give you a link." The receptionist giggled, "I'm glad to see you two are taking the initiative, that will be really helpful when you're heroes."
