Mirko took Momo on a patrol of the city on a cool evening. As they walked, Momo observed how Mirko kept a keen eye out for anything suspicious, constantly scanning the environment around them.

"So, Momo, what do you see?" Mirko asked as they passed by a dark alley.

Momo looked around and pointed towards the alley, "There are no lights in that alley, and it's very quiet. There might be someone hiding there."

"Good observation. Always keep an eye out for dark alleys and quiet areas. They can be prime spots for criminals to hide," Mirko said, nodding her approval.

"Okay, kid, this is your chance to get some hands-on experience," Mirko said, as they approached a group of low-level villains who were causing trouble on the street.

Momo was hesitant at first but was eager to learn. She watched as Mirko moved quickly and efficiently, taking out the criminals one by one. Momo was amazed at how quickly and effortlessly Mirko moved, her combat style and techniques were impressive.

"Always be aware of your surroundings, kid. Keep your eyes open and your mind focused. Stay calm and collected, and most importantly, never let your guard down," Mirko said as she took down the last of the criminals.

Momo nodded, taking in Mirko's advice. She was impressed with Mirko's speed and agility, and knew she had a lot to learn. The more she observed, the more ideas came to her mind. Could she create something to imitate Mirko's leg power? She could create some exoskeleton to enhance her bones and muscles to increase her raw power. With the help of her martial art mastery and training with Mirko, she could, in no time, copy some of Mirko's powers.

As they continued their patrol, Momo watched how Mirko interacted with the citizens, always making sure they were safe and secure. Mirko took the time to explain to Momo that being a pro hero wasn't just about taking down villains but also about helping the community. Although Mirko was crude most of the time, she was assuring in her own wild way.

After the first day, they fell into a rhythm and Momo was quick to adapt Mirko's schedule. On the second day, Mirko was surprised to see Momo awake and ready when she went to her room. She was amazed by her adaptability, as she was sure Momo wasn't an early bird when she woke her up a day before. She was impressed, but she didn't say anything. They went to the backyard and started their training, and the day went on.

Mirko took Momo out to gather information and track down villains in the city. They roamed around the town, and Mirko taught her how to read the clues and signs of criminal activities. She pointed out different aspects that she should pay attention to, such as unusual smells, strange noises, and out-of-place items on the street.

"Always trust your instincts, Momo. If you feel something is off, then it probably is," Mirko said as they made their way through a deserted alleyway.

Momo nodded and took mental notes, absorbing all the information that Mirko shared with her. The two of them continued walking and conversing until they stumbled upon a suspicious-looking establishment.

"Let's check this out," Mirko said, and Momo followed her lead.

Inside the building, they found themselves in a room filled with illegal goods and documents. Momo watched as Mirko quickly assessed the situation and gathered evidence, and then they left without being detected.

"You did well, Momo. Remember that sometimes, we need to be stealthy and avoid making a scene to accomplish our mission."

Momo took Mirko's advice to heart, and they spent the rest of the day practicing creating gadgets on the fly to assist with investigations. Mirko gave her the basics, and Momo was surprised by how she could assess the situation and come up with a most apt device that would help the scenario.

The next day, Mirko and Momo were called to stop a villain attack in progress. They raced to the location and found themselves in the middle of a chaotic situation. Momo observed as Mirko assessed the situation and quickly came up with a plan of attack. Momo watched in amazement as Mirko took on the villains single-handedly.

As the situation became more dangerous, Mirko pushed Momo to take charge of some of the tasks, and she quickly adapted to the unpredictable circumstances. She helped evacuate the civilians and provided support to Mirko. As the dust settled and the mission was over, Momo felt the adrenaline still pumping through her veins. Mirko congratulated her on a job well done.

On the fourth day of her internship, Mirko took Momo out for a mission where they had to choose which situation to respond to first. Momo observed as Mirko assessed the risk and benefits of each scenario before making a quick decision.

"Sometimes, we have to make tough calls, Momo. But the most important thing is to prioritize and act fast," Mirko explained.

As they went through the day, Momo found herself in a situation where she had to make a split-second decision. Her training had prepared her, and she acted quickly and decisively. Mirko praised her for her quick thinking, and Momo felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

-

Momo had been interning with Mirko for several days now, and she was learning a lot about what it meant to be a pro hero. But on this particular day, their mission was more difficult than any other they had faced so far.

Mirko and Momo received a distress signal from a building that was under attack by a group of powerful villains. They quickly made their way to the location, and upon arriving, they saw that the situation was worse than they had anticipated.

The villains had taken hostages and were using them as leverage to make their escape. Mirko and Momo quickly got to work, fighting off the villains and trying to free the hostages. But despite their best efforts, they were unable to save everyone.

As they were leaving the building, Momo could feel the weight of disappointment and failure heavy on her shoulders. She couldn't help but think about the people they weren't able to save.

Mirko noticed the look on her face and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Listen, Momo," she said. "Not every mission is going to be a success. There are times when we won't be able to save everyone. But that doesn't mean we stop trying. We learn from our mistakes and use them to become better heroes."

Momo nodded, understanding what Mirko was trying to say. She realized that even the best heroes sometimes fail, but what sets them apart is how they deal with that failure and use it to become stronger.

Mirko could see that Momo was still struggling with the disappointment, so she took her to a nearby park and they sat down on a bench. Mirko shared some of her own experiences with Momo, about missions that didn't go as planned and how she coped with those disappointments.

Momo listened intently, taking in all the advice that Mirko was giving her. She learned that it was okay to feel disappointed and upset, but it was important not to dwell on those feelings and instead use them as motivation to improve.

As they sat there talking, Momo felt a sense of peace wash over her. She realized that even though they weren't able to save everyone today, they were still able to make a difference and save some lives. And she knew that she would take this experience with her and use it to become a better hero in the future.

Important message from the author: This is a message of information and self-criticism. I would like to start by thanking all of you. There are 8.2k accounts following this book on this site and more than 600 on another, and that is amazing! Secondly, as my fan base has grown bigger, I have finally realized a very concerning issue: I have much more to learn than I initially thought.

As I have said before, when I am writing, I am not just putting words down, but rather, translating images running in my mind into words. I don't just sit and write; I have a very creative mind that get lost in words easily. So, most of the content I write involves planning, editing, playing, editing again, and finalizing the movie in my mind before sitting down to put it into words. However, I recently realized that I am not very good at it, as I missed a very important point! You don't see the movie I see. At the beginning, when people complained about something, I thought maybe they had no experience or couldn't understand the basic things I was saying, so I ignored it. But the more my fan base grew, the more complaints certain chapters had. One such example is Chapter 12, "First Date," where Mokami teaches Nejire how to cook. In my mind, the scene was like this:

Mokami says, "I don't like spicy food, so instead of tomato sauce, I will use mayo."

"Mayo, what is that?" Nejire asks.

"Oh, it is mayonnaise," Mokami explains.

But when I wrote it, I either forgot and wrote mayonnaise for both times, so Nejire ended up asking what it is, or Grammarly fixed it. I am not sure which.

Another issue is using mayo instead of tomato sauce because he doesn't like spicy food. In my mind, I know that it is not because tomato is spicy, but rather, the recipe that uses tomato also includes spices, and the recipe that uses mayonnaise does not. But when I don't give these details, it seems like Mokami and Nejire are stupid.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that please do comment and question if it doesn't make sense. Not only do you help me see my shortcomings and improve my writing skills, but you also help me fix those issues so that others can understand. Now that I am aware I am a lazy brain-to-text translator, I will work on my skills. Thanks, everyone, for the support! I hope you will continue reading my novels because it has just started!
