>>5626669My name is Kino-no, Shinon Watanabe. Who the hell came up with that nickname anyway?! Oh, right, it was that energetic girl who just left the car - said car that had a terrible dent right in the front! God, please answer my prayers, GIVETH thee your best warranty case to the humblest of white collar workers!
It has been some time since the "crazy robo-lady" incident that went on a rampage in his neighbourhood. Even worse, he was extremely late for work that day, thankfully his boss threw him a chance at redemption.
"Listen Shi... what your name was, Bob from PR told me a lot of good things about you. Well, i'll cut you a deal so good that you'd get thrown in the nearest mental ward for turning it down."
>"Ha... what would that be, sir?"Shinon gripped the limo's steering wheel as one of the company's supervisors, hand-picked by the CEO and his advisors talked to Watanabe on a phonecall. The office worker had a neat fliphone, a little old fashioned but still functional and trendy with the current hippie communities.
"I want you to get some scoops on the Hero Association."
>"Don't you mean corporate espio-""I know what I said, but can't judge your quick thinking. You're a natural, Binon..."
>"That's not my n-""So... I'll give you some paid time off and some good words to the CEO, maybe even a better office."
>"One of those with a coffee maker, the red ones?""I'll take that as a yes. Don't call me unless you have the scoop."
Beep.
Well, his name was Kino-Bino-Shinon Watanabe and he parked a front busted limo in front of the Hero Testing building. Some people called it "The Meat Grinder", "The End of Dreams", "Karen's Realm", "King's Toilet" and various unofficial titles that flowed through local gossip.
>"Alright kids, this is your bus stop. Do your best and maybe we'll see you as official heroes - regardless of class."Shinon shoo'd the potential heroes out of the limo and made sure to lock it, following them into the main building. He was lucky to still have a badge from his previous work in the Hero Association, but it either didn't give him enough authority or was easily removed from their systems. At the current moment, it added to his disguise as H.A. agent but that trait was only superficial... for now.
The gang split off to do their tests, be it physical or mental. That meant Shinon had a couple of hours to kill and snoop around...
What'll be, corporate spy-senpai?
>Try and snatch someone's badge, easiest way for more clearance>Look around for any high class heroes, you could snatch some useful info on them>Rub shoulders with an examiner, Kaede might need the good word>Get something to eat, all that android running over with a car made you starve
