As introductions wound down, Hitomi seemed concerned about something. She asked if anything was wrong, prompting a look of confusion from Fumika. How could she have known or understood so easily what she was feeling? Even Fumika didn't understand why she felt this way... yet someone other than her had already figured out that something was wrong with her? That wasn't good. She was being a bother. She shouldn't be dragging others into her own affairs. If she did, she'd just...
But how to answer? Something definitely was wrong, and Fumika didn't like to lie. But her second question... That was easier to deal with. She didn't want to talk about it, so, in response, she merely shook her head, and then turned her attention to the problem she'd been given: a disaster area of some kind, where they, as heroes, were supposed to do what they could to help with recovery.
Looking at each detail she'd been given, she began to think about her own usefulness in such a situation. And the more she thought about it... well, the more she realized that despite her Quirk's versatility, she couldn't do much on her own. Even if she could get to the root of several problems in the area, any solution she might have for them would only be temporary at best, and restricted to one location at a time due to the range and tangibility limitations of her projections. However... White Hat hadn't said that she had to deal with this using only her own Quirk, right? They were all supposed to be in the same area, which meant other heroes, better suited to fixing things up, could take care of that. She cringed a little at the realization that, once again, she was simply deferring to relying on those around her, but nevertheless, this was a situation where other people's lives would be on the line, right? She couldn't afford to hold herself back because of her pride, like she had when fighting Kenichi. She simply needed to address one problem at a time, and take the simplest possible solution.
She took a mental tally of the classmates around her and the abilities they'd explained.
First, there was the squishy man, Donny, whose Quirk apparently let him eat anything. Given that it had been enough to bring down a building in their earlier training exercise, it didn't seem like there was any limit to how much he could consume, either. Out of all their Quirks, his would probably be the easiest to work with.
Second, there was the shiny girl, Mina. Her Quirk wasn't particularly impressive, but, the more she thought about it, the more Fumika realized it might also be useful in a situation like the one that had been described to her.
Third, there was the winged boy, Acion. Given that he'd specifically mentioned that his Quirk might be suited for a job as a coast guard, it wasn't difficult to think of ways she could employ his abilities.
Fourthly, there was some posing girl who Fumika hadn't seen before. Apparently, her Quirk generated energy? She'd have to make a mental note not to get too close to her, or else she might end up scrambling Fumika's own signals... In any case, that was a very important asset to have.
Fifthly, there was... a Haruka? But no matter how she looked at her, that wasn't Haruka. She was too tall, and too big, and not nearly as cool-looking. Since she couldn't be Haruka, though, then what was she? A Haru? ...In any case, her Quirk apparently allowed her to analyze, disassemble, reassemble, upgrade, and power technology. Combined with the abilities of the posing girl, Fumika now had a fairly good idea what the best solutions to each problem would be.
The sixth was the odd one out: Hitomi. While being a fluffy sheep was very nice, honestly, Fumika hadn't the slightest clue how to use her Quirk given the situation... Wait, though, hadn't she said she could grow her fluffy hair really quickly? It wasn't as important as some other things, but maybe...
Now that she had her mental list of what everyone could do, it was time to address each problem. She banished all other thoughts from her mind, and focused on each individual aspect of the disaster she'd been given.
Search the area for survivors. I can use my "Recording" to send out waves of particles to analyze anything I can see. By combing the city, I could quickly locate anyone trapped in the rubble. If I can't get to them, Donny could dig his way to them, or Acion could fly them to safety. At the same time, we locate and remove any looters from the area. We could also keep searching even when it's dark, because Kasuke could provide more than enough light for us to see. Having her glowing all the time could also help us to signal survivors and let them know that help is on the way.
Meanwhile, we need to take care of water and power. I'm not sure how we could handle the water shortage, but the electrical girl (Fumika hesitated for a moment trying to find a name, then realized that the posing girl had never introduced herself)
and Sanageyama could probably restore power to the area by working together. We might also be able to use solar panels to collect power from the light that Kasuke emits.
Once the area is clear, we can begin taking care of problems. Preserving what's still intact is most important. While searching the city with my Recording, I could identify the damage to standing structures, and move from building to building, projecting supports to keep them upright so that workers could fix them more permanently. Sanageyama might be able to help here, since she said she's good at schematics and building things.
Once we've prevented further collapses from happening and worsening the damage, we can deal with the gas and sewage leaks. I could locate the source and project a temporary patch to stop things from overflowing long enough for a real patch to stop them for good. We could then use Donny's Quirk to quickly clear up the rubble in the tunnels, and to deal with the toxic waste. We could even do both at once, since I could make copies of him to speed up the cleanup.
Hitomi could manage supplies at the shelter. She said she can grow her hair quickly and that she's good at making clothes, so she might be able to make clothing and blankets for the people who need them. We could also give her any valuables we find while searching for survivors, and direct people at the shelter to approach her if they're looking for something, like a lost and found.Fumika set down her pencil and looked again at what she'd written. This looked like a fairly comprehensive plan, and, based on what she'd been told, she didn't see any reason why it wouldn't work... But at the same time, it almost seemed more like she was just writing how best to use other people's Quirks, rather than finding ways to apply her own abilities to solve the problem. Or, in other words, she was just stating the obvious of how they'd probably react to the situation in the first place. Was this really right? The purpose of this class was to develop her own abilities... but here she was, just depending on the people around her, as usual. She sighed. There wasn't any better plan she could come up with, in any case. Her own Quirk wouldn't provide anything more than information on problems, and a short-lived solution. This was the simplest path... But still, it felt so unsatisfying that it almost hurt her to turn it in.
She sighed again, and returned to her seat, her hair drooping as her eyelids fluttered. This really had been a tiring day...
