It was nearly noon on the clear spring day, the streets still glimmering from the rain the night before. Honestly, the woman waiting in the reception room was glad that she didn't have to be on patrol today. Honestly she found just walking around the streets and keeping an eye out to be boring. Boring was good, though. I meant things were at peace, but was it wrong to wish for a little excitement every now and then? Her phone shouted at her as she broke her personal record on the game she was playing, a small shot of dopamine coursed straight through her brain, and then all things were normal again once more.
If she was being honest with herself, it probably was. When she had still been a vigilante, she had to keep to the shadows, keep her movements unknown to thug and law alike. There was a rogue element to it she liked, but she had a hard time explaining it to even herself. Was it the excitement of always having to be on the move, how the people babbled bout her without knowing who she really was? Maybe, there was just something missing now that she was the real deal. It just didn't feel as right.
The woman sighed as she hit the power button on her phone and shoved it into her pocket. Wouldn't it look unprofessional if the prospective hero caught her playing on her phone while she was supposed to be preparing this lady's exam? As if, she had everything ready to go with time to spare, so she was just bored of waiting at this point.
Her gaze shifted over to the massive blast bay doors that housed the exam area. It was hard to believe that this old building had been a quarantine hospital half a century ago. When the government had bought it up it had practically been falling apart. Not even in the span of a year they had managed to renovate and install all this fancy equipment for testing the heroes of tomorrow. It was truly mind-boggling It was like she was living in the middle of someone's fictional universe.
The woman pulled out the folder with this girl's information. Oddly enough the one thing that let her know the world she lived in was unfortunately real. Not much more than basic information and a few sparse details she had given about her quirk. There was always the the worry she had prepared an unfitting test. Even if she did, she thought, this 'Lilith Utari' should have the gumption to crawl her way out like the rest of them used to when they were still vigilantes, right?
