Overview

A Hero Office, equally known as a Hero Agency, is simply a firm that puts heroes on its payroll. The concept enters the manga in Chapter 12 by way of Ingenium's office, Team Idaten, and reaches the anime in Episode 27 with the Genius Office.

Most professionals work out of one, and the office typically doubles as the base from which its owner operates. Decor and branding tend to follow that hero's personal theme.

Role

Staffing generally consists of Sidekicks employed by the hero who owns the place. Agencies also take on pupils from hero courses through internships, the intent being hands-on experience that a classroom cannot supply.

A student's standing changes once a Provisional Hero License is in hand. From that point they may engage in genuine hero work on the front line, and they are handled as sidekicks in their own right.
