Neito pulled his hood over his head, hiding his blond hair from any who might be looking at him. He had made quite a name for himself during the Sports Festival, even if he didn't win. That honor belonged to the Ice Queen of Japan, the goddess Weiss Schnee. It was an honor just to be able to participate and fight on her side during the dodgeball portion. Neito had managed to gain an internship with Crust the Shield Hero, which was another honor! He casually turned into an alleyway after spotting a hidden snowflake carved into the bricks of an adjacent building.

The alleyway was surprisingly clean, with the trash all piled in the dumpster, the sun shining brightly upon Neito's body. Crust had given him the day off today, to relax and prepare for tomorrow's training. Neito approached a door that was hidden in the back of the alleyway, a snowflake carved onto the door handle. Looking around in case someone was looking, he knocked four times. The eyehole opened up.

"Password." The lookout said warily, it was understandable. Only the most devout were allowed to enter.

"With a touch of my hand, I'll turn your life to gold." Neito answered, that was the password for the week. The eyehole closed shut, and Neito heard the door unlock as it creaked open.

"Welcome Brother." A hooded figure with an octopus head wearing a white wig nodded as Neito walked in, closing the door behind him. "Brother Minoru has been expecting you."

"For the glory of our goddess." Neito smirked. Minoru was the only one who could match the blond's devoutness, and he was proud to call the purple boy his brother, who had also managed to get an internship in the same city.

"It's a wonderful feeling being with family."

"Momo, I think we made the wrong choice choosing to come here." Mina mumbled under her breath, wincing as she rubbed her forehead, the hair stylist had pulled her short hair into curls. Momo looked embarrassed as the commercial they participated in played on Uwabami's television.

"This is the current demo, the real one will air in about a month." Uwabami said with a wink. Thankfully she didn't hear what Mina said.

"At least we'll be on TV." Kendo spoke up. The orange haired girl from Class 1-B had also joined them for the internship. Technically, they had already been on TV before thanks to the Sports Festival, and Mina did perform during one of Weiss' concerts-

Mina did her best to keep her smile. "True."

"Now, shall we go on patrol?" Uwabami stood up, gaining the attention of the three girls. Finally! Some real hero work! Now this was going to be much more exciting than filming a commercial for some shampoo.

"Yes Ma'am!"

"Uwabami can I have your autograph!"

"Please look this way!"

Mina, Momo, and Kendo stared at Uwabami blankly as paparazzi and news reporters swarmed the Snake Hero, who was busy dazzling the cameras.

Yeah, they definitely made a mistake coming here.

"Stay on beat." Enforcer said loud enough to be heard over the music. The trainees followed her instruction as they all danced in sync, unlike Kyouka who was struggling to keep up.

Her eyes were burning from her sweat, and her muscles ached. She was tired, and didn't get much sleep the past few days, ever since she stopped Weiss from killing Stain. It was hard trying to fall asleep since she kept seeing her friend covered in blood alongside that glowing knight.

At least Weiss was answering her messages now, as brief as her responses were. She must feel guilty over Kamui Woods being drawn into her punishment, and Yu was still in the hospital. The song soon came to a finish, after what felt like an eternity.
