Survivor [Jisatsu | Apprenticeship]

Nimue who had the idea she was going to pick up Jisatsu from the train station, jumped a little when she heard her name when she was locking up her office and looked up to see her student already there and she looked surprised before she had to laugh, soft and short giggles escaped her mouth. "Goodmorning Jisatsu, it seems like you are early. I was about to get you." She dropped the keys back in her pocket and looked up at her student with a happy expression on her face, it was good to see that he was doing quite okay and she opened the door to her office, "Hope in, let's discuss our day before we go on our merry way." She would make sure he would enter first before she would follow. She decided against changing into the doctor's coat again because they would leave after a bit. "So, I read from your application you are interested in rescue missions particularly, can you tell me a little more what you would see yourself do in the future? No matter what happens, what is your dream?" She did not want students to be like only if it's possible, just spill the guts, she was going to do her very damn best to make this a reality. She was already glad that Jisatsu seemed to know the idea of her hero name, but then again, she knew he was smart enough and they had already done internships last year so that made sense. She just realized she wasn't really keeping up with the hero names of the students. She had already forgotten Miku's before as well and that meant she would have to ask Jisatsu in a bit too. But first she would have just the question about his dream.

"I want to show you around here at the hospital and what I as a pro-hero am doing here, we might bump into one of your old year goers, Elise is here for example too, but we are also going to patrol and see what the world is like, I am still sorry I could not show you before with the circumstances after Shinagawa but I will hopefully make up for it right now." She gave him a bright smile, though it stung her a little to mention what happened again before, but she liked Jisatsu and she wanted to be honest with him, "Could you tell me your hero alias again, so I don't forget?"

Nimue could not help but shake her head, laughing a little bit about the enthusiasm that Jisatsu showed. Maybe being without other students would give him much of a chance to bloom. She liked to see that today and hoped he would put his shy side away and ask her questions whenever he felt like it. That as she should teach and would say to everyone so she would say that to Jisatsu too while they continued to walk further inside the hospital and Nimue gave information to Jisatsu and wanted to show him around here. "So tell me, Jisatsu, if you already thought about it but what kind of thing do you want to do in the future, what kind of hero do you want to be?"

She indicated to him that they were taking the elevator up. She wasn't sure if Elise was in, but she at least she wanted to show him her little lab, or office, depending on what you want to call it. It was a bit of both. So she would now continue up and listen to Jisatsu if he was open to tell her and she would make a note of his hero name, "I like it." It was easy for people, definitely working and she smiled on while they would continued. She pointed to the left as they arrived on the right floor and continued where she would finally go, she opened it with the key that she had. "Shall we have a little drink first, before we could continue? I cannot show you everything of the hospital but I maybe we can have a little chitchat in private about what we are going to do." And then have a little tour. She had water bottles in a fridge here and a little, bit of soda, she did not drink much of that but sometimes a sugar rush was good. She also had tea of course but it was maybe too hot for today. "So at first, do you have any questions for me?" Because she might have some after their first talk but she really wanted to be sure that they weren't overheard. She did not believe in traitors but she just did not want to share too much private details as they could as pro-heroes. Jisatsu probably did not have the luxury but her face was still unknown so she would want to keep that going on.

Nimue was always a person that would like to learn more about the strategy or thoughts of her students to see if she could sort of amplify it on the internships. Which was why she asked Jisatsu what his focus was and actually while they slowly walked to the elevator, she was glad to hear that he wanted to think about it. It was a very serious question and though there was no direct bad answer, there was always the good opportunity of thinking about it, which was important and for her to give proper advice if there was an answer whether there was a focus or not. So she would wait with a small smile on her face and just a further overall neutral expression to give Jisatsu the idea he could think for as long as he wanted.

Nimue noticed a parallel though not exactly the same with another furry student that she had an internship with. Though Jisatsu seemed to be more focused on the first aid part. "I think that is a very good and thoughtful idea." She listened to the rest of it and nodded, he thought of everything, the very good thing of being a support student and he had a perfectly good teacher for that when it came to homeroom classes and she smiled. "Well then, let's see what we can teach you. I know you have been to first aid classes so how would you say your knowledge level is?" Because that was something to consider, she knew she pushed Miku a bit much when asking her but that was also because Miku did not know yet what she wanted and also plants had a useful quirk part for healing and medicine, but Jisatsu, he would have to learn and use his quirk to make it better then any other first responder could.

So they would go to her office to talk a little more and she went to find some soda or water, she took the latter and went to sit down on the other chair she had there, it was more of a small doctor's lab, where she had worked on M.A.R.I.N.E. as well as other blood and quirk related questions that she had with some of the other doctors. She liked his question, especially how he ended with it. "Well, I think it's very important to get an experience of what you as a pro-hero even as support could do. I work here to help with the research as I am a doctor but I wonder if you want to work with for example the emergency department when you graduate, it's an example but it is something to think about. What would be your future. I want to show you around, medicine and first aid is a tough job but I am sure you can do it as you seemed to be focused and eager." And she could definitely see him around, surely some would be sceptical but Nimue would be there at every step of his way to make sure it would go as smooth sailing as possible.

She was watching Jisatsu very closely to see his reaction and she waited. She would see what he would say and what he thought of his future and the like. It was important to consider. And she wondered if the students, especially in their third year, did already consider. She would see and nod about the idea of extra first aid classes, she nodded. She should pick that up but with internship, apprenticeship, research at the hospital, the infirmary and biology classes it kept crashing. "I could use an assistant to work on such classes." She gave him a smile and would listen to what he had to say and nod, "I could give you some books on that and maybe next time we can look more into it. I want you to follow and see a patrol today as well as the hospital, we start here." She was sure, she had seen him work in the simulation class. So that was sure a bit that he had shown her. And this was for the rest of the year, so it was something.

She nodded and smiled and would be glad to hear that what he tried to do was a nice idea. "I don't think you should think limiting of yourself and people in the hospital can learn from you. We are still in a new stage of research, I myself try to do as much as I can for mutation quirkers and transformation quirkers." She looked at Jisatsu, "Who knows what more you can learn during time in the hospital and to be of help by giving your experience. If you don't mind that, I know we don't all had a peaceful time growing up and there is still racism against people with mutations, but there is so much good we can still do." She eyed him again carefully and put her glass back on the desk, "It might be something interesting to consider over the next years." Because he still had his sidekick year to go too. She just made sure it was fine for now and that he would remain smiling, "Let's go to the emergency department and see for ourselves okay?"

"There is no shame on being nervous Jisatsu. Everyone is. The shame would be in trying to not take opportunities with both hands because of nerves. Nerves are healthy it means you are alive and thinking, so don't worry too much about that alright? I know the world is not the nicest to you but I will be there at every step of the way to help you." And to smack those people in the face that looked down on him. Because no one did that to her student. She would leave her office, close the door and walk with Jisatsu towards the emergency unit of the Tokyo Hospital, it would be a solution if they had a good one in Musutafu, that would be close by for all of them when it came to Yuuei. She would just continue to the elevator and turn back to her apprentice.

"The emergency department of every hospital is always on a first floor, so people don't have to walk too far and the ambulance is able to bring in the citizens that it picked up without much effort." So when they arrived at the first floor, she beckoned Jisatsu to keep an eye out because an emergency department was always busy. There was a reception desk with two women behind it and a lot of chairs that formed a circle with the backs of the chair towards each other and a little island of plants in between, and an outer circle against the wall. Half of these seats were filled with the strange-looking cases, there was a man with an arrow in his hand. A woman with a very thick right eye that pulsated some green ointment. Then there were obvious quirked cases, some girl looked like she was entirely in static battery mass, her hair on her head and her arms and legs standing up and she stood because she couldn't sit down. And many other cases, but they did not went to sit there, they took a seat in the corner that was empty and Nimue waved to one of the woman behind the reception desk and turned back to Jisatsu. "Okay so what they do here are two different things, actually three, the women behind the reception desk have the most important job of noting down what happened, how long it's been going on and giving the colour codes. That is red which means immediately, orange which means as fast as possible and yet still urgent, yellow can wait and green is can be sent home and see the regular doctor or come back tomorrow." She looked at Jisatsu to see if he got it, "Then they have to locate every patient to a nurse, so they will be getting their names and give it to the available nurse that would call them out, I think that would be a good job for you in the near future." She said to give him an idea, a male nurse showed up who had an obvious quirk as he seemed to have the face of a snake, but it was more the completion and the lack of an obvious nose, the slitted eyes, the tongue, apart from that he seemed to have a little green look over the skin and an obvious piercing in his ears that he still had. The boy called out a name and the static girl tried to walk over with her mother to him.

Nimue looked at Jisatsu again, "So he will now ask the check up questions that the reception did as well, but he has more medical information and would check her quirk and considers if he can do the consultation by himself or if a doctor needs to come in." That meant there was always a possibility for heavier medical back up, hence why she thought it was better for Jisatsu. "Here in this hospital they try to separate quirkers from non quirkers as best as they can, especially because people should feel comfortable sharing issues about their quirks." That's why there were two receptionists, one was a quirker and one was not, though not everyone was a mutation quirker of course, so people learned to be more neutral.

Everything she did was with the intention of doing something good. Surely reprimanding students could be necessary from time to time but she would try to explain to them why and what the consequences could be to explain that she did not do it simply because she had the power to do so. That meant also that it was in her hands to support her students, give them a confidence booster if she could but also guide them and help them when necessary. With some, that would mean more than with others and she would not give up on it. That's why she told Jisatsu what she really thought, honesty would bring humans also furthest towards their goal. But she was always patient and always happy to help and have people find their ways. Surely this meant that it didn't have to be Jisatsu's future job, who knew what he bumped into. She only wanted to show him there were things to discover and do and like and that was all okay and safe for him.

"Exactly, there are still things to figure out. There is still a high chance that you bump into a not quirker, depending on how busy it is." She looked at him and how he seemed to be worried, "They are not entirely separated, quirkers and not quirkers are in the same room, but it definitely has to do with the patient being comfortable and what is necessary for medicine but if it's busy and no way to split the quirker from not, then you can have a chance of getting just a patient without. But they try to adapt to everyone their needs, that means you might want to study more into quirker issues as a bonus than just normal first aid, but that is always up to you. I hope in a few years that it's not even necessary but it's something to consider and something that might help to unstress for a lot of people." She hoped he got it, it was purely that and who knows where they would be in five years if no one would look up to the difference between either group. That would be perfect. Nimue had hopes but she was also quite realistic that it might take more years or even their whole career to finish.

She would look around waiting for other patients to be called forward and see what Jisatsu thought. She couldn't get him into the area behind as they had not gotten the permission of patients but they could ask around here if he wanted. "So do you want to talk to them here or shall we go outside?"
