[h3][i][b]Komei - Classroom > Training Ground Echo[/b][/i][/h3]
[hr][/center]

When a teacher showed up, Kenichi stopped leaning on Sen's seat and took a good hard look at the guy, sizing him up even as the guy enforced classroom order and laid out their next point of business. Another test? What was it going to take to get these people to accept them? Kenichi had only failed out of UA, of all places, because of his written exam--as far as practicals went, if he was good enough for them Komei ought to have been paying a full-ride scholarship! He narrowed his eyes as the class was dismissed--time to dress out and head to the Training Ground.

When Sen clapped him on the shoulder, Kenichi snapped out of his rapidly darkening mood and returned the gesture.

"You know it, man!" So saying, he followed the male half of the class to the locker rooms and changed out. As everyone filtered out to the field, Kenichi took note of the construction equipment and the state of the ground. It was mostly dirt or concrete, but as long as it wasn't too loose he would be able to breathe without sucking up dust. He rolled the sleeves of his gym suit up to his elbows, checked his shoe laces, and then looked around at the others. Some were talking amongst themselves, speculating on what the test would be, coming up with plans. Some were just observing, either the other students or the battleground. Some had even started preparing in their own ways--that chubby fellow had gone off somewhere and started digging a hole or something. But almost everyone seemed tense, even those that were doing their best not to show it, or to be bubbly and energetic. The stuff L Guardian had said had really gotten to some of them--after they'd come so far and done so much, to still be denied? To be told that they didn't belong here, that they didn't have what it took to be heroes?

Kenichi crouched down, stretching one leg and then the other. Then he stood up and twisted from side to side, popping his back loudly. Another series of pops followed from his neck, his shoulders, and his knuckles. Then he slapped himself on either side of the face, and jumped out in front of everyone with one fist held high.

"YO, NICE TO MEET YOU ALL! I'M YOSHIDA KENICHI!" He yelled, his voice carrying across the entire field thanks to his lung capacity. "Some of ya'll look kinda down, probably cause that teacher said he doesn't think we've got what it takes! Well, listen up!"

He pointed a thumb at himself, his eyes and expression intense and focused even as he shouted like your typical hot-blooded shonen protagonist.

"I know DAMN WELL that I'VE got what it takes! For one thing, I worked for it! For another thing, I've got faith in myself! Third, and MOST IMPORTANTLY...I GOT THE MAIN CHARACTER SEAT!" He swept his hand out towards the rest of them, shouting even louder.

"SO I KNOW THE REST OF YOU HAVE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TOO, CAUSE YOU'RE ALL IN THE SAME CLASSROOM WITH ME, AND A MAIN CHARACTER NEEDS HIS NAKAMA!" He crossed his arms over his chest, Gunbuster style, and smiled his wolfish grin. He exhaled through his nose, kicking up a breeze that ruffled his hair and clothing dramatically.

"So no matter what this test is, we're all gonna pass it with flying colors! Ain't that right, Class 1-A!?"
