As Tonaka finished the 50 meter dash, he along with the rest of his comrades had to return to show coach Decaman how they did when going for the softball test. Guess he has to do it again. He manages to pick up a ball and begins to throw it at the target board. Of course, he wasn't using his magic like everyone else. I mean sure he could use his Light Form, but really it's more of a speed benefit than anything. As he continues throwing the balls, it appeared as if the coach spotted him and decided to give a few of his own points and tips.

[i]"The whole point of these exercises isn't actually to get high scores and pass. It's to let you students channel your creativity, and figure out different ways of using your quirk besides the totally obvious. Hokama-kun, I want you to try the softball throw one more time--but this time, instead of just plain throwing the ball, try using your dark blast to shoot it, and see how much faster, how much harder, or how much more accurate you can be with it!"[/i] 

Well, if only he could even use it at this very moment in the first place. Tonaka didn't want to use his dark side either though, but, then again, nothing was making him that angry, so to him there simply wasn't any way he could actually tap into it. He was just simply in a good mood. He simply shrugs.

[b]"If only I can at the moment."[/b] he simply responds, [b]"I just don't feel that angry. Again, my dark side feeds on my anger, or so I think. Besides even if~"[/b]

But then Decaman interrupts and in a whispered tone, he added, [i]"And don't be so scared of your own power. You have to own it. Accept it. Only then can you control it. The more you try to keep it bottled up tightly, the more it will struggle to be free. If anything happens, I'm here. Nothing will go wrong that I can't handle. Give it your best shot."[/i]

[b]"Well alright,"[/b] Tonaka responds as the coach pats him on the shoulder and leaves, [b][color=000000]"I'll try..."[/color][/b]

He tries to make himself a little angry by using his past experiences. What about that time when that Veronica girl, his ex-girlfriend, cheated on him last year and made a fool out of himself? Yeah, that's it. Sure it kinda healed, but just let a trickle of dark come out huh? Already Tonaka can feel his muscles tense up as he grips the ball tighter. He takes aim, setting his sights on the target and throws it with his raw power. It speeds through the air and makes a bullseye shot on the first go. As it came back, he grabs the ball again and throws it. Another bullseye! He then begins to throw it again and again, as if he was trying to beat the darkness out of his body, like his body is trying to get rid of a nasty sickness or something. It actually felt good doing it too.

After throwing the ball at the target for the 10th time, Tonaka finally sees his whole body turning back to white. Perhaps it wasn't so bad after all. Again, it actually felt good to let some steam out. As he wipes his forehead, he turns to where Decaman is greeting a few girls. There he happens to see a girl looking at him. She looked pretty cute, with her blue hair and her long legs. She's quite fit too. Tonaka couldn't help but to make a friendly wave at the girl. He wasn't going to bother with a douchy wink or whatever, just a simple wave and that was all.

He then wonders where Mine may have taken off too...
