Tomoe was softly giggling in her sleep, there was a soft smile on her face as drool dripped onto the table from her mouth. In her dream Hitomi was tickeling Tomoe her sides while being in a full sheep outfit. Tomoe tried telling her to stop but she was held tightly in the grasp of Hitomi and with her strength faded from the tickling she was helplessly flailing around her arms. Her way of combat was too strong! Tomoe had given up long ago but Hitomi showed no mercy, endlessly tickling the poor pinklet.

She must have looked quite the fool for sleeping in class with this tardy appearance, she had seen her classmates judge her already when she came in but cared little to nothing about what others thought about her bad habits. Tomoe sounded a troubled growl from her mouth as her classmates were talking so loud to each other again. Why couldn't they see she was vast asleep and couldn't be disturbed right now. Why was there nothing like a soundproof ball or something that they customly make for her. The bed was a nice feature but something at school would be nice too! Tomoe opened her eyes lightly seeing a bunch of people standing right next to her. Her eyes opened further as she stretched her arms to the front of her. She purred in satisfaction of stretching her body out like this. The best feeling on earth.

Her arms dropped down in front of the table as she puffed down her chin onto the table her eyes pointed out front at the school board. She timidly moved one of her hands to rub the sleepingsand out of her eyes while reading the board slowly. Teams? Her name was there too, she didn't know any of the other names. She heard then around but didn't know what faces belonged to them. Were they gonna do something together today? Like perhaps a group project, oh those sucked. She had to do work and was always too late with submitting them in due time. Tomoe moved her back up right feeling her hairs drop past her head. Oh? Her hair was still undone, to be honest everything was a mess. Tomoe looked down at her uniform and remember what she forgot before. Her hands somewhat started moving on their own as she was slowly fixing her uniform like pulling her socks up and pulling her tie on tighter. Second to last thing was her hair where she pulled a hairtie out of her bag for and started braiding it. The last thing to do was her skirt which was inside out... Well she couldn't do anything about that here so she had not much choice but to let it be. In the moment of braiding her hair she noticed Roy around, she hadn't greeted him yet. Tomoe stood up with her hairtie in her mouth and her hands braiding her hair while skipping over to Roy.

She finished her braid and held it together in one hand while trying to raise both her hands into the air, one hanging quite a bit lower from holding the length of her short hair. With still the hairtie between her teeth she greeted Roy.



She pulled the tie from her mouth and tied it into her hair before looking back at Roy again. Her cheerful but lazy voice sounded again.



With each question she tilted her head to the other side in cheerful manner with her hands folded behind her back. Tomoe noticed Hitomi behind Roy gasping a little as she did. Tomoe bend her knees and jumped to the side soon after to get a better look at Hitomi.



She repeated the same text while swinging her head from side to side again just like with Roy. She gave a cute giggle before hoping closer to Hitomi to give her a short nuzzle and hug.

Short after they had to sit so the class could start. Tomoe decided to listen for once to the teacher and sat down to hear what he had to say. She audibly answered one of the teachers his questions feeling quite interested in this question.



Tomoe kept quite again after speaking her mind. There was not much more to the teacher his explanation. The costumes came in and they had their own lockers. She didn't think of that as anything special to be honest. The mentioning of late comers made her jump a little though.

Short after the teacher was done talking they were suppose to head to the gymf to get their stuff. Tomoe decides to head to one of her teammates before they left the classroom. She had discovered who her teammates were in this so called exercise so she wanted go try approach one of them atleast. Tomoe slowly stepped over to Erza his desk with her chin lowered her eyes softly peering up at him. He looked so calm and tall, so cool and ambitious. This was awkward, she wondered if he had soft sking and smooth hair too. A light blush was on her face as her voice somewhat stuttered. Her personality had completely changed as she tried approaching this person.

Donnel sat between the garbage cans for quite some time. He had left his cellphone back in the kitchen so he didn’t know what time it was. All he could say for certain was that he was hungry. So slowly he stood up and started to climb into the garbage cans to eat the contents within. Normally he’d transform into his true self to make short work of the waste, but Donny was too depressed to be bothered. He just climbed in and started to shove literal trash into his mouth, consuming it with no trouble aside from the mental anguish of stress eating.

Throughout the gathering, Haruka remained silent and generally kept to herself. There were more strangers than people she could be comfortable talking to present, and the people that she was already okay with were all occupied with things of their own. She had pretty much decided to just finish eating and return to her dorm for the night, at least until she noticed Donny taking off. Since Haruka had mostly blocked out the conversations around her, she wasn’t fully aware of what exactly made him do that. Whatever it was, it didn’t seem like he was in a good spot when he left. Leaving her seat, she glanced at the crowd of people at the tables before she scurried away, following Donny with the intent of figuring out what was the matter.

Yukari was engaged in a bit of a conversation with some of the others when she heard a few heavyset footsteps leave through the front entrance. She only knew two like that: Haruka and Donny. She heard nothing of what they had said or what was said to them and normally Yukari would leave things alone, but Haruka was her roommate and she felt obligated to be with her when things happen. More so when Yukari had no idea what had happened. Excusing herself from the conversation Yukari went after Haruka and Donny, walking a bit beyond Haruka as to not be immediately spotted incase this was a personal thing.

Donny took his sweet time eating the trash in the can, making a bit of a mess as he did so. But even if he did all he had to do was lick it up, or just let a bit of his body out to chew at any stain that was on his clothes or body. He was really good at cleaning, even though what he cleans is disgusting. Some of the things were even maggot infested, but he devoured it like candy. By the time he was done the trashcan was spotless and he got out to start eating the contents of the other. He was so busy eating that he didn’t even hear Haruka or Yukari approach.

When Haruka caught up to Donny, she opened her mouth to say something, but stopped when she saw him climbing out of one now-emptied trash can and into the next. Her immediate response was of intense confusion as to what the hell he was doing, but it turned into concern very quickly. She couldn’t imagine what kind of awful things might have been in those things. ”U-uh, hey, Donny?” She tried not to sound judgemental, as she didn’t feel that way, but she found expressing herself in odd situations even more challenging than normal. ”What’s going on?

Donny was in the midst of eating when he heard Haruka’s voice call out to him. Though he was entirely concealed in the garbage can he still couldn’t help but feel the need to press himself low to the ground. ”N-N-N-N-Nothing! Go away!” He said shakily as he started to pile some bags of garbage over himself in a pathetic attempt to hide.

”I, uh,” Haruka pursed her lips, frowning as Donny’s try at being stealthy took place. ”I can still see you there?” Shutting her eyes, she shook her head and silently scolded herself. ”Oh, that’s just a great thing to say to someone who’s freaking out. Terrific job, idiot.” She took a deep breath and gave it another try. ”I-I mean, you don’t have to hide? I-if you just wanna come out and talk, or something?”

”T-T-There’s nothing to t-talk about! I was just…. I was just…. Cleaning. Is all.” Donny gave a weak lie to Haruka as he continued to try to pile garbage over himself. Maybe he could just eat a hole through the garbage can and hide inside of a hole for tonight. That seemed like just as good of an idea as anything else he’s been doing. ”Y-Y-You should g-g-go back to the d-d-d-d-dorms and finish dinner. I-I-I’ll be back…. Eventually.”

”I, I dunno, something’s...pretty clearly not right.” Haruka shrugged, letting her arms limply move out a bit. ”You, uh, looked upset when you left, and I, I wanted to make sure things weren’t too bad?” Of course, if someone was dumpster diving, chances are things were pretty bad. Primarily, she was still sort of baffled by it, but she abstained from bringing it up. ”I-if you want, I can like...I dunno, turn around so you can come out? Or something?” Upon making the offer, she did so, removing the trash cans from her field of vision. Instead, she caught sight of Yukari coming along. She jumped visibly, not expecting another person, but collected herself with a sharp exhale.

Donny sat in the trash for a good few minutes, not really taking up Haruka’s offer to get out. He wanted to just hide. But he also wanted to talk. So while he was still buried underneath garbage Donny spoke out from the echoing metal container. ”I… Was just t-t-talking to some girls and t-they scared me. They gave me a look t-t-t-that I didn’t like. Like I had done something b-b-bad to them or something. One of those girls was my f-f-f-friend… Or someone I think as a friend. M-M-Maybe I just overreacted….” Donny said in a defeated tone. It was so much easier for him to just assumed fault than to think of what others may have done to wrong him. Because sometimes they may be justified in their reaction. Not that Donny was efver certain of this. ”I butted into a c-c-conversation, I’m sure I annoyed them so… I just… Left.”

From the sudden shuffle of footsteps Yukari could tell that Haruka just spotted her and was surprised. Quietly Yukari clasped her hands together in silent forgiveness, as well as holding a finger to her lip signifying that she wasn’t going to say anything. She overheard Donny talking and frowned. He seemed like the type of person who was very pitiful. Yukari thought of what to say, but she paused. If she said anything out loud it might scare Donny. She needed to be subtle. So going up to Haruka she whispered into her ears something she could say to Donny.

”Tell him that since he’s friends with one of them, he should go back and apologize when they’re done talking. She would understand. If he just ran away without saying anything it will cause a misunderstanding between the two of them.” Yukari didn’t know what exactly happened but she figured this would be good advice. Better than wallowing in despair.

Haruka listened closely, agreeing with the advice that Yukari gave. It was similar to what she’d been thinking of saying, but much better articulated, which would surely help Donny out a lot more compared to Haruka’s tendency to speak awkwardly. ”Thank you,” she whispered back to Yukari, turning back to the trash can to try and talk Donny out of the garbage. ”Well, since you’re friends with one, you could just, like, go back and apologize for interrupting? Stuff like that happens sometimes, you know, to everyone. She’ll understand, definitely. Running off like this might just make the misunderstanding worse.” After saying her piece, she looked to Yukari and made a very subtle, inquisitive noise, as if asking if she’d done well nonverbally.

Donny sat in the trash can a little while longer to think about it. It was hard for him, as much as he hated to admit it. He came to Komei to change and change was difficult. His first reaction to a bit of tension from his friend was to run, which thinking about it wasn’t a very heroic reaction. What would he do if more lives were on the line? He could really say that he’d do better, considering how badly he handles less vital situations like this? Still… He wasn’t sure if he was entirely ready to go back. But he could at least get out of the garbage can. ”I-I-I guess you’re r-r-right I just.... Dunno want to s-say. I um…. I’ll go back. Soon.” Donny shuffled around in the garbage can, tossing the trash off of his body. ”I’m uh…. Not smelling good. Might w-w-w-wanna save your noses and give me some s-s-space.”

Things seem to have gotten better so Yukari, still remaining quiet, tugged on Haruka’s sleeve. ”I’m going to head back to the dorms. Tell Donny that he should too, it’s almost curfew and the last thing we need is trouble on our first day.” Smiling at her roommate Yukari silently walked away and headed back to her dorm. She was full from dinner and wanted to rest up for tomorrow. No doubt it’ll be a busy and exciting new day.

”Thanks a bunch,” Haruka whispered to Yukari, smiling lightly. She’d helped out a lot with this situation. There was no way in hell Haruka would’ve been able to articulate the advice as well as she had. Once she was gone, Haruka turned back to Donny, stepping back and nodding at his advice. ”Hey, it happens.” Once more, she gave that casual shrug, an active attempt to not make a big deal out of it. ”Maybe, uh, talk to the others about all that stuff tomorrow? It’s getting kinda late, and uh, we should probably head back to the dorms.”

Bowing her head to Donny once he was out, she gave him a little smile as well. ”I’ll see you around, yeah? Goodnight.” With a small wave, she headed off after making sure Donny wasn’t about to dive back into the garbage. The poor guy didn’t deserve to be in there, especially not of his own volition. He seemed like a good dude to her.

Yukari’s alarm rang by her bed and she struggled to get a firm grip on it. She was always super loose early in the morning, and every time her finger hit the button it just molded around and slipped off. ”Muuuugh not today….” Eventually Yukari did manage to turn her alarm off and stretched her body out completely. She was nearly three times her size fully extended, her body knotted up in different shapes and forms. It would have looked like a horrific murder to most people, but for Yukari it was just how she slept. She easily untangled herself and dragged her body to her closet where she looked for the school’s uniform. She had other outfits nearly hanging in her closet as well, picked out by others since she can’t really tell what’s a good look herself.

Once she had her outfit Yukari went to the bathroom to wash up, change into her clothes, and was pretty much ready to go from there. She went back to her room to get her school things, her cane, and to make sure that Haruka was awake. ”Ha-Ru-Ka-Chan, it’s time for school! Are you awake?”

Previously fast asleep, Haruka was stirred from her slumber by her dorm mate’s alarm. Her face, mostly hidden behind her mess of hair, took on an expression of distinct grievance. ”Ehhh…” she responded, a half hearted groan that at least confirmed she wasn’t asleep anymore. As tempting as it was to remain face-down in her pillow and not move, she hadn’t come to the school to waste her time doing the same thing she did at home, and with considerable effort, she wriggled out of her blanket and sat at the edge of her mattress for a moment, taking a slow breath and lightly slapping at her cheeks to gain some composure.

She did a basic morning routine, straightening out her hair, brushing her teeth, and dressing in one of the uniforms that were in her own closet, preferring the vest-topped style. After securing the bow-tie, she pulled her hair up into a ponytail and cracked her neck. ”Okay,” Haruka half-whispered, pulling her bag up onto her shoulder. ”Let’s get going?”

Nodding her head Yukari tapped her cane on the floor and walked out of the dorm. She grabbed a quick breakfast from the kitchen, two bananas and two yogurt drink, handing one of each to Haruka. ”I bet our first class is going to be exciting! We should make sure we’re properly fed before we get to it. A filling but light meal, enough to give us energy but not make us feel bloated.” Of course Yukari was used to having such a spartan diet, and the same may not be said for Haruka. At least Yukari grabbed the large yogurt drink.

”Oh, uh, thanks,” Haruka said as she took the food. Not quite as filling as she was used to, she had to admit, but it would do for now. With the drink in hand, she used her teeth to grab the banana’s nub, then peeled it back by moving her hand away. ”If it’s anything like yesterday’s, it can’t be too bad.” Those classes had been pretty good, even with the craziness that had gone down earlier in the day. She was looking forward to seeing how things went this time around.

Once the bell range class started. Yoshida was direct about what they'll be doing today which was another team battle, probably to take an objective point. He seemed to have split everyone up by certain criteria, which made Dulga really wonder how she got this ragtag group. Kaida she was fine with, but Mamoru was too much of a loose-canon for Dulga's liking and she knew nothing about Yukari. This made the girl sigh. She didn't like the role of leader, but unless Yukari was going to step up Dulga would have to make sure her team succeeded. Kaida didn't seem the type to want the spotlight and there was no way Dulga was going to let someone like Mamoru call the shots. Once Yoshida gave them the permission Dulga left to gear up in her hero costume.

Dulga's costume wasn't particularly flashy. She still wore the same cloak and mask over it as she did in her casual attire, so aside from her boots most people probably couldn't even tell she's in her hero costume. But underneath she wore was essentially tactical gear. A bullet and blade resistant breastplate, titanium shin, knee, and thigh plate armor, durable but breathable dark pants, heavy rubber combat boots, and multiple pouches, bandoleers, and holsters for her weapons. On her back hidden underneath her cloak were her two pistols, the Beretta and the Stechkin. She had also had her two rifles and held them by their fore grips, their safety on even though they weren't loaded yet. She needed to get bullets from the armory though she was also interested in receiving a few other gadgets as well.

At the armory the first thing Dulga did was get her ammo. She grabbed at least least five mags worth of 9mm rubber bullets for her beretta, and six mags of 9mm plastic bullets for her Stechkin. The plastic bullets were suppose to be "nonlethal" and bounce less, so Dulga was going to rely on her Stechkin for close quarters combat where she didn't want to risk having her rubber bullets bounce back and strike her. She made sure to get ammo for her rifles too, though for her shotgun she packed a few special bullets. Komei had some impressive gun technicians to be able to make utility 12 gauge ammo, and Dulga intended to take advantage of it. She took three smoke, three eletrostun, and three flashbang bullets. While they weren't quite as effective as their grenade variant, they could provide Dulga some utility she otherwise wouldn't have. She also carried a three tracker bullets. This way she can tag her opponents if they run away from her.

Aside from ammo Dulga also took some others things too. Ropes and wires mostly, but also a few stun grenades that Arsenal had showed them yesterday. She also grabbed handcuffs. If she has to fight anyone in hand-to-hand, she can pin them down and then keep them bound with the cuffs. She also grabbed one more thing of importance: communicators. They were small earpieces that Dulga would be using to keep in contact with her team. With the communicators were also some smartphone devices that Dulga can use to keep track of their location, as well as have an view of their battleground. These devices also doubled as stunguns, which was a nice bonus. All Dulga needed to do now was wait for the rest of her team. Once she was geared up Dulga waited near the entrance of the armory for Kaida, Yukari, and Mamoru. She needed to give them the device they'll need as well as communicate what their plan was going to be.

The ringing bell called for Acion to take his seat properly. The teacher then directly informed the students about the activity that they would be doing during the day, although most of the students must have realized it already: a team battle. For five teams, it was most likely the 'King of the Hill' type of exercise. It was certainly the most perfect type of exercise for such a huge number of students, but probably be the most chaotic one. Nevertheless, it was to show each and everybody's capability as an individual fighters, the ability as leader of a small gang of combatants, and the ability as a tactician overall. There's no way someone can make it out of this using brute strength. They may be able to make it out of this in a 1 vs 1, but the pure chaotic nature of a FFA made it impossible to do it by oneself. A good intention overall, but the composition was a little...daunting.

Acion was unfamiliar with both Haruka and Luelle, while Donny was a wild card. He would not know how and what he would do, and that's a problem. Although his wasn't exactly a final conclusion, but his team appeared to lack the heavy hitting trait, something in which most of the other team has. Team D had Kenichi, Team B had Mamoru with that reckless attitude, and Team A had that hot-headed Ezra. While Acion was able to inflict heavy casualties with his sharp feathers, he had to rely on his speed to gain that state, while the others were natural abilities. So going head on with them would be a bad idea. He knew that. But he didn't know if his teammate felt the same.

Nevertheless, Acion would have to be the one to do it anyway. He didn't really mind being leader and so on. In addition, a few of his old teachers did comment that Acion had somewhat a small leadership ability, as he was capable of cooperating so well with others. He headed down to the locker, to the dressing room, only to come out with his hero costume. A set of light armor, made of probably the best steel out there. It's tough, yet flexible, allowing both divine protection and maneuverability to be available to the fighter. Maybe not to the point of divine, but it really did give him a certain amount of it against projectiles. Along with it were simple leather boots and gloves, for some more protection. Only some. His head and a small part of his arm were still exposed. Because he was not a grounded tank, but a flying object with weapons on his wings. It's better to be a fast runner than a thick skin after all.

Afterwards, he headed for the armory to get some equipment for his team. As com links would be provided, as he was informed, he did not need to get that. Instead, for himself, he got a one-eyed glass-binocular hybrid. Since he would most likely be flying high above the sky, way above yesterday's altitude, he would need that in order to get a clear zoom onto a designated location. In addition, he got a few pocket-sized bombs and smoke bombs for his use as well. How convenient that the bombs here had different characteristics from grenades, with one noticeable feature being the 'Assault Fuse', which is a mechanic to explode the bomb when it made an impact with something. Very practical for someone like Acion. He also got a few of the watcher devices, which acted like a spy camera, attachable to locations so that he could keep watch on places that he did not have eyes on.

Once the job was done, he headed straight to training ground Bravo, where he would have to discuss the strategies and tactics with his teammates, as well as studying the map as thoroughly as possible before moving on.

@Luna @Lucius Cypher @Eggs

Mina didn't want it to be the first thing she noticed, but it was; Jett had ignored her in response, and looked a little put out that she hadn't replied to his 'radiant' comment. At least, that's what she assumed based on the timing. She felt a little guilty. Was it selfish or mean of her to ignore Jett? It doesn't fix the problems or make them go away. It's just making the feeling in her chest worse if anything. Oh well, she'd just thought of a way to win a little friendship back, once they donned their costumes.

Her good mood was soured by Erza's comments. "I have noticed that besides you, our team's thin in the 'powerful quirk' department," Mina responded tartly, "but battles aren't won by who has the most powerful quirk, especially if you're going to be a Hero fighting villains every day with powerful quirks. They'll believe that they can beat us. Maybe some could. That's what we're in school to prepare for. The odds being slightly against us should not be a real drawback. Look around you. Most of the kids in this class are just that, kids. But me, and Jett. We were raised by Heroes to be Heroes, and if you don't think that makes all the difference in the world, then you can watch me perform out there. I promise you, you will not have doubts about me by the end of it."

When Tomoe comfirmed herself to be the small sleepy girl from earlier, and introduced herself to Erza, Mina rolled her eyes and gave Erza an icy look as if to say' Okay, maybe you were right. Now I'm worried'.

---

Mina was almost the last one out the changing rooms, and for good reason; Her costume was magnificent and stunning; she looked like a cross between a Princess, a knight, an angel and a Valkyrie. This costume must have cost a lot of money to custom-make. Then again, Mina's family was very rich. The usually petite girl looked both more formidable and more elegant with heeled white boots and a floor-reaching layered dress, adding more perceived mass to her figure and inches to her height. She was also wearing her hair long and wavy, which looked unusual for anybody who was used to seeing her with ponytails.

"I think I'm just here to make up the numbers but the teacher made it sound like I'm part of this class now. I don't know about this. I may be top of the class but there are other support students stronger and more deserving. Thanks for the words of encouragement, though," she smiled back and gave a weak thumbs up back.

When Tomoe arrived, Hitomi smiled, laughed and returned the hug though not the nuzzle. "I slept very well and breakfast was delicious. I only saw you last night, though. That reminds me. Thank you so much for the ponytail! It's so cute! I love it!"

---

When it came time to change, Hitomi found herself wearing the costume she designed and made in first year. It was a skintight light brown one piece suit adorned with wool, which came from Hitomi's own head around ten months ago. She was slightly embarrased by wearing it, as her figure had developed significantly since then, and the waist, seat and chest were all quite tight, and she could only imagine how distractingly eye-catching she'd look. One hand, she'd never thought of herself as 'sexy' before. On the other hand, she didn't want other people to start now. So she waited at her team's rendevous, fidgeting sheepishly. One of the first things she'd be doing is making a new costume with her current measurements. On her back was a shotgun from the armory, loaded with bean bag rounds. She also carried plenty of spares of these in her belt, along with two flares and a grappling gun, which she had been taught to use during Sidekick training in support class.

"Haha, that's true," answered Mako, slightly less nervous in some ways and more in others, as if instead of getting out of the hole she'd dug, she was instead accepting her fate inside it. The bit about is just being two adults, I mean! I don't drink in front of a class. I never drink during class. That's my one golden rule."

@pkken

”Woohoo! Round two is a go!” Mamoru cheered as Yoshida announced that they’ll be battling again. Despite her shoddy performance yesterday Mamoru was hoping to make up for it this time. Even more fortunate for her, she’s met the three girls who’ll be on her team, and if there was one thing Mamoru was certain, each one of those girls could throw Mamoru really good! Dulga chucked her out of a window, Yukari threw her at Miss Mako, and even Kaida had hurled her at a wall. This meant they were very strong, so all Mamoru had to do was protect them. Hopefully this time she can prove her worth too instead of getting KO’d right out of the gate.

Moving to the gym Mamoru was excited to finally get to put on her hero costume. She had designed it herself, though she had her parents help her construct it. Despite her flair for dramatics her costume was fairly subdue but still fashionable. What she considers to be more important was the materials; it was entirely made of her family’s secret armored fibers, a special material developed by her mother that can withstand impacts and friction with sublime efficiency. Despite looking no thicker than a leather top, Mamoru’s outfit was effectively bullet and blade proof. It was also quite breathable and flame retardant. Mamoru would boast that her body would turn to ash before her clothes did. Though that’s probably not something she should try to test.

Still Mamoru was positively giddy and the idea of finally being in her hero costume. She also wanted to see what others had chosen for their outfits. Hero costumes had to not only be functional for the hero wearing it, but also cool and unique. Sure, anyone can don military fatigues and ballistic armor and survive hero work in that, but without at least a splash of flair all your good work would be left unnoticed and unappreciated. Thus she wanted to see what other students chose to wear, and hopefully they’ve dressed to impress.

Once Mamoru was done geeking out over her outfit she headed to the arsenal to gear up. She needed her ballistic rubber balls of course, since she was a poor shot with a gun she’ll have to make due with these. She also grabbed some sticky grenades. They didn’t explode into shrapnel or plasma, but literally exploded into a sticky glue. Handy to bind her enemies. She also brought some smoke grenades since that was always useful. She also grabbed the tonfa figuring that she’ll need a weapon if she’s going to fight again. And lastly, she took that gauntlet she had played with previously. Not only would it protect her hands, but she could use the mobility of grappling hooks. She wanted to load up on other gear too, but she already filled her pockets with grenades and had the tonfa on her belt. Anything else and she’d be slowed down by her own equipment.

As Mamoru was gearing up she spotted Dulga waiting for them. Dulga was still wearing her cloak and mask, and notably she had her guns too. Mamoru had heard someone shooting guns yesterday, and she honestly wasn’t too surprised that it may have been Dulga. She seemed the “Cold Sniper” type of person. ”Hi hi Dulga-chan! Waiting for the rest of the team?” Mamoru would receive her communicator if Dulga gave it to her and equip it. She tested it to make sure it was working. ”Hello hello? Testing one-two-three!”

Donny gulped as he looked over the teams again. Luelle, Haruka, and Acion. He knew Haruka and Acion well enough, but he doesn’t remember meeting a Luelle. He hoped she was nice. He tapped his fingers together nervously and ate some of his onigiri for courage. ”D-D-Don’t freak out Donny boy, you can do this…” Donny did also look at the other students and their teams. Namely, he looked at Mina’s. Mainly because her and Ezra are the only ones who actually know what his “true” form looks like, which could be used against him. Mina especially was well aware of what Donny was specifically capable of. Everyone may have known he destroyed Point B, but only Mina would have any clue as to how he accomplished it. Ezra might too. Donny would have to figure out how to deal with them, lest they create a counter for him specifically.

After eating a few more snacks to calm his nerves Donny went to change. His hero costume was…. Very basic. Pretty much just cargo pants with a baggy shirt and some ankle boots. While it was somewhat trendy, it looked very plain. The main component of his costume was the black cloak that would cover his entire body, and most importantly, the white steel mask. It had very simply features just like the rest of his costume: just three holes, two for his eyes and one for his mouth. Of course there was a reason why his costume was so simple; once he assumes his true form, clothing was actually just going to hold him back. He specifically chose clothing that were easy for him to store inside of his body along with his meat bag. Just about everything but the mask was going to be put away. And even then Donny always carries a spare mask in his body.

Hugging the cloak close around his body Donny felt oddly safe. He’s always had issues about his body and being able to cover up like this felt nice. He wondered if this is why Dulga always wore her cloak around herself. Shaking these thoughts away he headed to the armory class to pick up his communicator. Donny knew a bit about weapons and stuff, reading articles and watching videos online, but aside from video games and arcades he’s never really handled a weapon. Even his throwing arm could use some work. Still… If he was going to have to fight again, perhaps he should pick up some equipment to help him.

Donny didn’t feel particularly comfortable taking weapons. He felt that he could do more harm than intended if he mishandles something even as simple as a collapsible baton (certainly ironic coming from the one who considers demolishing a building to be a perfectly valid tactic). But perhaps he could take some things that could protect him. Goggles firstly: remembering his fight with Mina, bright flashes of light blinding him really made it hard for him to land a hit on her. And while he could technically just use a different set of eyes on his body, wearing and looking through these goggles ought to help him deal with Mina and anyone else who intended to use bright lights or the sun’s reflection against him. It also served other purposes too; it had a function that let him see in the dark so he knew where he was going underground, and it protects his eyes from dust and water. Not that those things really mattered against Donny, but better to be safe than sorry.

Another device he picked up was a bit more complex, but no less useful. It was a heart-beat radar. This would allow him to detect the heart beats of people around him in three dimensions, which will be extremely handy when dealing with stealthy people or while Donny was underground. Since he lacked a natural tremor sense, he usually just guesses where people are and tries to attack at random. This way he can be much more precise. When he activated it, he made a small chuckle as he noted that the same heart-beat radar did not detect him. ”I guess I don’t have a heart after all.”

Donny wasn’t really sure what else to get. He couldn’t get anything like landmines, even if they weren’t lethal, so he just grabbed some handcuffs. Since his combat strategy this time around is going to be “Dig underneath people and drag them underground”, he may need something to make sure they go down with him. He did ponder briefly the dangers of leaving the students underground with their hands bound unable to dig their way out, but Donny figured that he won’t leave them too deep underground. Hopefully.

That being said as he was getting ready to leave he did have one thought. Many students would likely be getting weapons to help them this battle. While he was hoping that they would be careful, Donny didn’t like the idea of getting cut, stabbed, or beaten up. He wasn’t exactly use to it. Not to mention the possibility of being burnt alive or frozen solid. Considering that they were going to be using their quirks, it was a very real possibility. Fortunately, Donny found a solution: a specially woven sheet that can ward off blades, bullets, bludgeons, and insulate temperatures. It wasn’t meant to be used in combat per say, but for disaster relief. It could be used as a protective tarp covering, a blanket, or whatever other use a large sheet could be used for. It was very heavy but Donny felt it would be most important. ”Yeah…. Gotta cover my weaknesses after all. Fire, ice, electricity, not good…” Donny said quietly. He wondered if he could get his cloak replaced with this material. Though he’ll need to increase his strength if he was going to do that. Once he had his things Donny went to find the rest of his team. He found Acion first.

”H-H-Hi Acion.”

Ezra listened to Mina. The girl had a lot of pride, and that was something that he could respect. But what he couldn't stand was her arrogant attitude, as if being raised by heroes made her a better person. He let it slide because he really didn't want to get into it today, but he could tell that he would not get along with this girl now, or in the future as their values and beliefs were completely different even from the fundamentals. Still, he listened, took in her message and decided to believe in her, though he didn't really have a response other than an assuring nod.

It was at this point that he'd found another interesting guest to his desk. Just as he was standing up, it was a very small girl. She must have been at least a foot and a half shorter than him. He didn't really know the girl, but he remembered her from the villain psychology class. He remembered seeing her sleeping, and he didn't really have an issue with that. People were at the school for various reasons, and he had learned not to judge people by what they did, but what they accomplished at the end. It was not the means but rather the ends that meant to him. As for her inexperience, he wasn't really worried about that. He'd never taken part in one of these training exercises until yesterday so he had nothing to knock on the girl, but he guessed if she was scared enough to stutter and blush in embarrassment then he better reassure her. At least, that's what he thought was the right idea.

"Don't worry about it, Tomoe. Just try ya hardest and you'll do great. You're here for a reason after all." he spoke as friendly as he could. Whilst he wasn't enthusiastic about having a rookie on his team, he was not going to put her down for something that wasn't particularly her fault and he was glad that she had come to him before the training had started. That meant a lot to him, so he wouldn't insult the girls efforts as long as she tried.

"You wanna get your stuff with me? I can give you a lil rundown of what to expect so you're ready." he spoke softly as he began to walk toward the gym.

The classroom was already getting crowded as Toni arrive and class was beginning, it was perfect. You can’t make a display of someone if there isn’t an audience. Entering the room with a flourish, Toni looked almost as if she were gliding over, in fact if someone looked closely enough they’d see it looked as if she were skating not even half an inch off the ground, as for Jett, he would feel an invisible tug on his belt buckle as Toni was soon uncomfortably close and puts an arm around Jett’s shoulders.

“How’s things? Feeling good? I never properly thanked you for the hug yesterday… I’ve been thinking long and hard on how to repay you fittingly and I have to say, there was not a single thing that felt equal to your actions. So, since there isn’t a single one, I’ll just have to work my way up to it with a myriad of little things, that seems fair right?” Toni’s 10,000 watt smile lit up her face as she looked at Jett before taking out a small purple sphere of some kind.

“Do you like grapes, Jett? They’re such delicate things, grapes.” rolls the purple grape in her finger tips “People seem love them and appear to be a simple fruit, but they’re seen as something special or luxurious. Lounging while someone feeds you grapes, is there a greater sign of opulence? Opening an aged bottle of wine, is a brilliant sign of prestige and wealth. But they’re so, so very fragile. Protected only by a thin skin and if you apply the slightest pressure they just…” squeezes and the grape burst sending the juice within scattering and a drop hitting her cheek. Licking her fingers and casually wiping the droplet off her cheek and flicking the juice drop at Jett’s nose.

“Pop. You must treat your grapes with care, protect them well. Since you never know when or from where the slight pressure will come~.” Toni eyed Jett’s belt before her eyes flicked back up “Tsk, I’ve never understood their appeal personally. Grapes just aren’t to my taste I suppose.” While staring into Jett’s eyes Toni’s free hand was busy at work down near Jett’s waist and her quirk acting as a second pair of hands.

“I like your belt, I think I’ll take it.” With that said, Jett’s loosened belt buckle reeled itself into Toni’s waiting palm “Thanks” and with a pat on Jett’s shoulders her quirk pushed on Jett’s fly and continued pushing until his pants fell around his ankles before wandering off as if the rest of the room was full of manikins and searching for an empty seat and turning her attention away from Jett and to the teacher's announcements.

Combat trials again. Sounds good to me. But costumes? Well, calling mine a costume would be quite an exaggeration, 'accessories' would be a more suitable word for it

Roy let out a grin as Hitomi felt slightly a bit better, "Cmon, believe in yourself a bit more. Your're in Komei academy for pete sake, that shows your potential enough. Soon Tomoe came around as cheery as ever, it made the boy quite happy that he had some enjoyable people in his class that could brighten up his trashy morning. He was glad to see Tomoe in class even if she had a few stains on her shirt already.

"At least you are here in one piece, Good morning Tomoe, and yes I did miss you" Roy let out a sigh, at least she wasn't mad at him for eating for food. He would have to surprise her with something surely to counteract his misdeed. Roy just smiled as his bad early morning start slowly began to get better but the best part had yet to come. As he saw Toni walk over and pants Jett.

"Duuude...You got Wrecked again! For the Second day in a row!" He said as he pointed in his direction trying to draw everyones attention. He wanted him to feel his embarrassment from yesterday, he wanted the others see the confident boy pantless for a minute or two. He then threw his cloak over to the boy to make a with a Lock construct so he could hold his pants up and not get burned.

"I got your back Mr.tighty Whitie" Roy said with a tear in his eyes,

As Mr.Yoshida explained the trials ahead and that their hero costumes were here Roy was estatic, as he tapped his feet on the ground. This was something he needed badly, his costume was outfitted to let Roy use his quirk more effectively. Something else that brightened his mood was hearing team A bickering, Mina and Jett were on bad terms and Ezra seemed to make it even worst. On top of that Jett's sudden morale drop by the hands of Toni. Though he did feel bad that Tomoe was going to be in the mix of everything. As he made his way over to the lockers he opened up his locker as he gazed upon his costume. It he could hear angels singing as he picked up the helmet and the Led trimmed lining of his newly made cloak.





He quickly changed putting on the overall suit which was very breathable and cool even for Roy, his temperature much more cooler and tolerable then usual. The built in cooling of the suit already proving its worth. Roy just smirked as he pulled his combat boots on and strapped his on his trimmed cloak. Lastly he put on his helmet which made his voice sound slightly deeper, it also was tinted and also trimmed with lighting giving him a Sci-Fi finish. The tinted helmet was dark enough that anyone with regular vision wouldn't be able to see who was behind the mask. As he walked out to meet with the rest of his team he saw Hitomi there in a skin tight suit...which really surprised him. He didn't take the girl to wear something that would capture her figure so well, Roy figured to just devoid such questioning on her costume incase he makes the girl self conscious.

"Hitomi I like your costume, It looks sweet!" Roy threw his hood back and took of his helmet shaking his head in order to fix his hair. "Your're really nervous aren't you?" He said holding his helmet at his side, "Just trust me you will be fine, you can't do worst than I did yesterday." Roy said scratching his cheek and laughing, "You can count on me remember, I am your teamate. I got your back and you have mine!" Roy then turned as he heard someone else walking down the tunnel, his draw nearly dropping as he saw who it was.

"Woow..." Roy was speachless as he waved over to the girl making his way over to her. "I nearly didn't recognize you Mina. That costume makes you look majestic, I don't even think you need that quirk of yours anymore to blind people. You could just stun them with your radiant beauty." Roy said complimenting the girl, for once something he said to Mina was sincere and not just another attempt of getting a humorous reaction out of the girl.

"But don't think just because you look angelic that I won't settle the score with you from yesterday." He said tapping on his helmet. "You got me the first time but you won't get me again" he said with a smirk.



The large man let out a small chuckle, "I'd hope not, if I can't crack open a cold one on the job than you definetly shouldn't be able to do so either." He took the last bite out of his food. "Also, I heard those A-1 kids trashed your classroom and you handed out more than one detention in a class period, what happened exactly?" he asked with a curious tone, "If it was really too much for you to handle you could have simply just rang for me you know."

Jett was slightly annoyed that she didn’t take his comment seriously, the small smile she gave was one that of a ‘yeah right’ kinda thing. He was completely honest. He pushed back onto the back two legs of his as she moved on telling Ezra not to freak out like he did at lunch. Honestly they could do with some tables being thrown around. But he wasn’t interested right now getting in between them. Though when she brought up them being raised by heros, he closed his eyes. He didn’t want that pedigree just thrown about like just because of that they seemed better somehow, He knew that wasn’t what she...fully ment but he understood what she really meant. But it could be taken in such the wrong way.

He still didn’t say anything mostly because suddenly Toni came up behind him and rested her arm around his shoulders, getting WAY too close for his comfort. Especially when memories of what happened on C caused him to redden like a cherry. She then asked him if he liked Grapes… immediately he looked her right in the face and said, I..I uh prefer melons... With a straight face. Cause...he did. In many ways.

She went on to explain more behind grapes...it was clear what she was hinting at. The only reason he was embarrassed was because of Mina and Kaida next to them. Hell half the things she was saying could be taken wrong. Mina did indeed take them wrong, or rather, did not take the wrong at all. She knew that Toni knew exactly what she was doing and saying. Mina had a problem with girls with Toni’s attitude in general but right now, for reasons she could not fully figure out, Toni was number one on Mina’s hit list come the exercise.

Suddenly, Toni used her quirk to steal his belt and used the metal to in the zipper to rip it down, revealing his boxer briefs. His face turned even more beat red but he he was calm enough to quickly reach down and pulled them back up after Roy said he was wrecked again. I got pantsed not wrecked Flowerpower!”. He caught the cloak and threw it right back, he didn’t need a belt to keep his pants up, it was more for style as he had his pants tailored to him.

He did not look at either Mina and Kaida for the rest of the instructions, before moving towards the locker rooms. Mina, red in the face, didn’t look at Jett either. She wondered if she should say anything but if the same thing had happened to her, she would not want anybody talking to her until she’d calmed down. She gave Jett the same courtesy.

---

After Jett got his costume on, he quickly made his way over to the armory to stock up. Grabbing flashbangs, tear gas, flares, smoke bombs, making sure they were fastly secure under velcro pouches, so that Toni could not get a chance to pull the pins on some of them while in it. He also decided to change out his metal batons for a wooden staff, same reason. There wasn't much more he could change if he came acrossed her on the battlefield. He double checked to make sure he had his grappling hook, extra paracord incase he had to help the others onto the roof.

He stopped as he looked at the weapons, seeing the guns. He was trained by his mother, who was a gun fanatic, and wanted to make sure he understood them. He never really thought he would use them himself, but seeing how he was quirkless still at the moment… He walked over to Arsenal and asked if he was allowed to use one for the exercise. After being explained he would have to take a quick test, he nodded in understanding.

After choosing a .40, he moved over to the range and plunged his ears. After a moment of breathing, he shifted his stance to one foot forward and on back slightly. He leaned forward just a hair Pushing his gun forward while pulling back as well with his steadying hand. He unloaded the magazine after a few controlled shots, as knowing how many he fired he released the magazine as soon as it was empty and caught it as it fell out. Placing it on the table before him and picking up the second magazine, and reloading effortlessly. Pulling the slide back as the first bullet entered the barrel. He then took his time with these next shots, firing once, a moment pause, firing again, then suddenly back to quick succession. Till he was empty and then released the magazine once more before checking the barrel once again to be sure it was unloaded before dismantling it completely within a few seconds, laying the grip, slide, barrel, and spring on the table neatly as he did. Then after getting the approval to reassemble it, he did it once again in a few seconds, placing it, slide locked back on the table down range. When the target was brought back, Arsenal would see a solid grouping from his first magazine within the first two center targets, then a smilie face with his two shots at the beginning if his second magazine, and the smile with the rest . Of course it wasn’t perfect, but it was clear what he did.

Once approved he only took that gun, with ten magazines of rubber bullets, plus one in the gun. He then holstered the gun on his right thigh and made his way to the starting point. He had left his helmet off, having it locked into place on his upper back, just under the nape of his neck, so it was easy to slip in and out of and put on his head. His costume, though same as the one he wore that morning when he fought Roy, was black now, instead of white. Breaking the staff into two parts he slipped it over his back and slipped them under some straps that ran acrossed his back.

It was about then when he came upon Kauske and Roy talking. He was taken back really at Kauske’s outfit. While he might have expected something like that, it was still really ‘flashy’. But seeing her with her hair out long, she looked even more attractive than before...more like a woman than a girl. Needless to say, he liked seeing her in it very much, though he didn’t think it was very tactical to be wearing a dress while fighting. But to each their own. As he came up he heard Roy say essentially the exact same thing he did to her back in class. He didn’t think Roy would even like her like that.

Mina, though she had been looking at Roy as he spoke to her, didn’t really show any outward reaction until Roy challenged her, promising to settle the score. At this, Mina smiled and raised her fist in challenge. ”You’re on, Roy,” she answered before she saw Jett, and flushed again, though the memories of what happened in the classroom the more she studied his costume. Also from a family with a lot of pedigree and money behind it, his costume was possibly even more professional looking that hers.

”Wow,” she remarked, clearly impressed, and in a manner that might bring back faint memories of a little girl in a karate gi telling a shy little boy that his quirk was ‘really cool’, ”You costume looks impressive, and dare I say it, badass!”

Not knowing how to bring up either the Toni incident or his sudden gloominess upon her choice to ignore him without making things awkward, she instead tried to remedy the latter with a different approach. ”Guess what my Hero name is,” she asked him, smiling in an unusually warm, chilled out way. She was no longer standing on ceremony but talking to him in a similar way to how she talked to Donny yesterday.

Jett was somewhat glad she didn’t react to Roy's attempt at calling her beautiful. But when she looked at him and complimented his own costume was that a hint of a flush on her cheeks? He clearly didn’t know what the flush was about..was it her seeing him? Or him seeing her in her outfit? Whatever it was he smiled at her complaint. It was probably the first real one she gave him. He scratched the base of his head as he smiled.

'That quirk’s really cool!' a flash of a distant memory of another girl in pigtails came to mind. A tint of red came upon his cheeks. That girl...he couldn't remember her name at all...but thanks to her and being his friend...just for that day.

“Thank you Kasuke…I appreciate that.” He motioned to her dress. ”I honestly thought you were the most beautiful girl I saw, I didn’t think you would get even more so. Your costume is amazing as well! Fits you perfectly. He said giving her a genuine smile. When she she then asked what her hero name would be. He shrugged. ”Uh… Aphrodite? Athena? He was taken back at her sudden warmness...what happened between class and now? Whatever it was he was glad to see this part of her.

Mina shook her head, and put her hand to her chin. ”No, though Athena wouldn’t actually be a bad one. No, think back to our earlier conversation. I think you’ll like it when you guess it.” As she was talking, she’d noticed something. The pain was gone. It was clear ignoring Jett wasn’t the answer. She just had to relax when she talked to him and stop dwelling on other things. Besides, she can’t afford to dwell on other things anyways, if they wanted to win this exercise.

Roy and Hitomi both seemed to be doing fine, Hitomi mentioned how they had only met yesterday making Tomoe rub her head a bit in awkwardness. Hitomi also mentioned how happy she still is with her pony tail that she had left there from after they parted. Tomoe was glad the girl liked the style so much to keep it for this long. Tomoe gave a short grin and patted the girl on the back a few times.



She moved her hand behind her braid to move it to the front showing it to Hitomi, she dropped her braid down as it stayed in front of her shoulder. Tomoe gave Hitomi a vivid smile and moved back to her seat as class started.

---

After Tomoe her introduction she fell quiet, she still felt quite embarrassed approaching him out of her own will. He noticed her and stared right into each others eyes. They were about even eye level right now. He definitly looked intimidating but so did Roy and Roy was kind too so. Him standing up definitly made it more intimidating, he was at least two heads taller then her. She had to bend her neck to look at his face, he was overshadowing her like a big mountain. Looking at him now definitly made her legs shake a little as her mouth was somewhat agape. As her began talking his voice seemed to boom over her like a amplifier. In her eyes she saw him growing taller by the second, or maybe she was shrinking. Erza told her not to worry and that it was plenty if she at least tried and did her best, they didn't have to win. He seemed to come back to normal size when he told her these words. His words were kind, comforting to hear. She felt glad to have chosen to come to this person, he was as kind as she expected him to be, just like any tall person. Tomoe gave him a kind smile.



Next thing she knew she was already invited to tag along with him to get their stuff just like the teacher had told them too. A look of excitement went over her face as Ezra suggested to walk together. Tomoe nodded in excitement and wrapped herself around the arm of Ezra. She clutched herself to his arm as tight as she could. Walking with him a pace faster then she normally would.

After Ezra's small words of encouragement, he had continued to look at the girl. Her nervous demeanor had seemed to vanish due to his words and he was thankful for this as he saw a smile emerge upon her face. That was more encouraging to him than a girl that was frightened, especially in the case of a teammate. Confidence was always a sign of greatness, no matter who they were and he wholeheartedly accepted this new demeanour that Tomoe had taken on. In effect, he had accepted her as a member of the team.

That's when he started to get a little bit uncomfortable however. After asking her to tag along to the gym to get the gear, she seemed to get very excited. He knew people enjoyed hero school, but definitely not that much as after a nod she had latched herself onto his arm. He didn't really know what to make of it, as it felt she had the same proportions as his younger family members, but it felt too new and awkward for him. He didn't blush or slight away from it, but he didn't know what to make of it.

Shortly after this, a few rapid-fire questions had came from the girl. She didn't know his full name and she wanted to know his quirk. Given the exercise and the location they were as he began walking, he figured he had no difficulties telling her as long as he kept close to her ear regarding the quirk. He started off with the first.

"My full name is Ezra Jasekade." he spoke calmly as he got in closer to Tomoe after finishing his sentence, within whispering distance to her ear. It looked pretty innocent, but it still made him even more uncomfortable. Contact was not something he was familiar with across separate genders.

"As for my quirk, I can speed how quick things move. If I throw a dart, I can increase how quick it is going to move for the next 3 seconds. I've never really tried it with people but given it works on me I'll assume it'll work the same way. You can tell me yours whenever you feel like it." he spoke softly into her ear as he backed his head away from hers and continued walking to the gym, arriving around the same time that Mina had changed into her costume. He'd got his stuff out of the locker and gave Tomoe a nod to know that she had to get ready as he went and got changed.

He hadn't prepared a costume of any kind, so he had effectively packed gym gear. A jumpsuit with bottoms and a jacket were provided, and he had strapped a different pair of shoes. Seeing the conditions from last time, he didn't want to damage his more prize pairs so he wore one of his less expensive pairs. They were still comfortable but he didn't want to put something he'd spent a lot of money on the line for. Figuring he was set, he'd go and meet everyone back in the gym and wait till his team had finished up. He didn't have any comments on Mina's outfit, he saw them as unnecessary. Heroes shouldn't have to dress up to kick ass, they should be able to do it whenever called upon. Jett's was very showboat y as well, but given as they had lived spoiled lives, he saw no issue with them playing dress up. He'd sit and wait till Tomoe got back, he wondered what she'd have in store.

@Liferusher

Mina noticed the way Erza looking at her, and put her hands on her hips. "Don't look at me like that. The costume is an important part of being a Hero. The thing that separates us from the emergency services is that Heroes are a symbol. In some cases, even a brand. Our actions stop crime as it's happening, but the Hero name, the costume and our public image and reputation might make criminals think twice and inspire people to do good. It's actually the more important part of what we do. We're not police, or vigilantes, or bounty hunters. We're superheroes.

Also, I saw you with the small girl earlier. Tomoe. She's to be in our team so I'm wondering if she told you anything useful about who she is, why she's here and what she can bring to the table. She might be our ace in the hole. After all, you don't get into this Academy, and class 1A no less, if you're just a bubbly girl who sleeps in class and don't have a useful quirk."

@Aerandir@Artymis@liferusher

"Thank you," Hitomi replied to Roy's comments. "It's not nearly as impressive as yours, though. I made this in first year for an assignment. That's why it's basic and made to fit a younger me with measurements from several months ago. I was surprised that they put this in my locker, if I'm honest. I'm definitely going to make a new, better one after today."

Hitomi marvelled at Jett and Mina's costumes too, then giggled quietly to herself. Those elaborate costumes definitely weren't made by the students wearing them. This class was full of the big shots. Hitomi had worked so hard that she now found herself here without having even aimed towards it, and for the first time was wondering if she herself could be not just a future hero, but more immediately a student in this class, worthy of this class.

She looked around, before turning back to Roy. "When do you think the other two students on our team will be ready? I'm anxious to met them. My only combat training is in sidekick class, so I'll be supporting you three, but I need to know what all your quirks are. Speaking of which, what is your quirk, Roy?"

"Oh, that? That was no trouble at all! That's just lesson one of Villain Psychology, where I spend half the class trying to teach them by example one valuable lesson; it is incredibly easy to be manipulated by a smart villain. I asked the class "Does anyone think they can land a blow on me?" and they spend a few minutes trying to hit me, some succeeding, and those who succeeded got detention because I never gave permission for those actions. It's cruel, but one day they might be dealing with a villain, remember yesterday, and the knowledge might save their life. I've fought other villains before, and those are along some of the dirtiest and most dishonourable moments of my life."

His first teammate has arrived.

"Hello..." Acion gave the seemingly Donny-like person a two-finger salute as the latter approached him. As he saw his first teammate, the winged boy had to take a moment to figure out if he was really Donny or not. He was wearing a huge black cloak that dominated his entire body, and a white steel mask with three round holes in it, two for his eyes, and one for his mouth? From first glance, he appeared like he was wearing some sort of monster costume for a Halloween party or something. It was the voice that were actually recognizable as the typical shy and reserved Donny that Acion knew.

"Well your form is most intimidating" He glanced him top to bottom. "Unlike the last time I see you on the field." He referenced the previous exercise, when Donny approached Acion at point C half-naked, with Mamoru's shield to cover himself. It was a joke of course, as he patted his friend's shoulder firmly to made it look so. He wouldn't want him to take it too seriously.

"Anyway, the exercise is about to begin, so we should probably get a head start." Acion took out his communicator and plugged it into his two ears. "Switch to this channel so you can communicate with me."

After several testings and so on, it worked.

"So it appears that we will face against four teams. And we appear to lack the ability to hit hard. So we are at a disadvantageous position, unless those two have something to prove." Acion said. "Do you know either of those two, Haruka and Luelle?"

@Lucius Cypher

Tomoe latching onto Ezra his arm definitly got some attention, Ezra was a little bit weird out by it but didn't seem all to new to this event. Tomoe was happily grinning up to him while hanging from his arm. She herself didn't think much of it, as innocent as she was she just liked to touch and cuddle the people she liked.

If she could have heard his thoughts right now she would have most likely bitten him in his taille or punched him a hundred times till he was just as small as her. Tomoe didn't take any comments about her proportions kindly. She even drank a liter milk every morning, well when she woke up first time at the day, not especially morning. She kept hanging from his arm untill the had to get their own stuff.

His full name was Ezra Jasekade and his quirk was speeding an object or person for a few seconds. It was pretty weird that he whispered it into her ears instead of just saying it but she didn't mind. Tomoe could see why he would be in this class. It didn't seem like there was any real downsides to his quirks so throwing items at enemies was pretty strong, like having an invisible gun with you at all time. Tomoe gave a surprised "Oh!" and clapped for a moment.



Tomoe gave a cute giggle and turned her eyes back to front of them to see where they were going. Ezra had also asked for her quirk, only Roy knew it yet and during the entrance test it only seemed like she had some type of strengthening quirk to the people that did see her. Tomoe turned her head back to Ezra tilting it a little past his arm so they could see each other.



She gave a sweet smile before turning her eyes back to the front as they entered the gym and parted for a moment to change into their hero costumes. Tomoe gave a sweet goodbye wave at him to with her clothes in the other hand. It took a bit of time to change into her costume since it was a bit new to her to how put it on and the likes. Ezra was done way faster then her and had some time to chat with Mina before Tomoe got out of the changing room to meet up with her team member again. She had chosen to braid the rest of her hair into a small braid too, at the backside of her head. She went back to her locker too put the rest of her clothes in the locker. She felt somewhat embarrassed to wear this costume, it was fit to her figure so it felt kind of tight and figure showing. With her face a light red she saw Ezra again standing close to the changing rooms with another girl. She quickly walked her way over to him and gave him another short wave with her face still a light red.



She also gave the new girl a short wave as greeting. Mina had a look on her face seeming quite serious with activities like these. It wasn't the first time she had seen Mina like this, she appeared to have the somewhat more serious/ stern personality type that Tomoe clearly didn't have, Tomoe felt a bit troubled by her presence knowing they were the complete opposite. She held a hand out to Mina to introduce herself too her wherever she took the hand or not.



Tomoe glanced over her outfit, Mina looked like an angel with that blonde hair and a good looking figure to match the outfit. It made Tomoe stare in awe at the outfit and at the same time making her feel kind of childish having chosen these colors, with her figure and still dying her hair pink every few weeks. Mina definitly made an impression to her and the rest of the class. Tomoe gave an awkward giggle and angled her head down a bit to look over her own outfit one more time too. Moving the side flaps of her costumes a bit to the side for her better to look at. Tomoe lifted her head back up at Ezra again giving him a somewhat concerned look as her voice had audibly died down from her usual cheerful tone.

“Oh bother” Joann said, rolling her shoulders at the slightest irritation that her father had sent suit designs for the school for them to do instead of just sending the one they put together, the idea of just how much money it was going to cost for this rang in her head for a good long while as she was getting changed. On the outside it looked like a regular cat burglar body suit that was made of some form of insulator, it was like her entire body was one big wire and while skin tight it didn’t restrict her movements and it breathed pretty well. Inside the suit were conductors that were attached to her fingers that ran up her arms down her back and legs and to each of her toes, they served to circulate the current of her quirk faster than her body can on its own naturally.

Lastly, the helmet and black goggles were changed in favor of a pair a mechanical goggle that acted like a camera’s shutter lens offering more focused vision they also helped filter out all the excess information her eyes and brain receive to help prevent sensory overload. The only things that weren’t covered in the body suit were her hands and feet and in their place, were a pair of gauntlets and greaves that acted a lot like batteries.

Thankfully, she heard her teammates talking amongst themselves well she heard the name ‘Roy’ and recognized it as a team member’s name and walked towards them lifting her goggles. “Roy was it?” Joann asked joining him and Hitomi’s conversation circle “My name’s Joann just call me JoJo its easier, anyway, I guess we're on the same team” She explained, looking over to Hitomi “How about you, combat team c?” she asked extending her hands for a handshake

Upon giving her a compliment, he got the classic Mina cold shoulder. She must've still been mad from all the teasing he has been doing to her. Though after issuing her challenge, the cold statue came to life accepting it. Roy just smirked as was about to pivot his foot and wall off to rejoin his team, a familiar figure. The one he had been thinking about all morning. When Mina said it was Jett, the guy nearly blew a gasket.

"It was you that attacked me this morning you bastard, what the hell got through your head to go and do something like that at 6 A.M. in the morning" Roy opened his mouth once again but stopped himself as he just turned around and requiped his helmet.

"You best believe we don't ecounter each other on this endeavor or else" The man threw his hood over his head before walking back over to his team. The nerve of that guy to not even say anything in the morning about pulling that stunt on him. He even had weapons too what the hell!

Upon returing Hitomi thanked him for the compliment though Roy was in his own delusions on how he was going to get back at Jett. Until he realized that the sheep girl was talking to him. He popped his head up quickly as she explained the origins of her costume.

"Ooh, so you made that. I thought everyone just got theirs through the school" He said chuckling to himself, "Well if your going to make another one I would like to see it when it's done"

When Hitomi looked over in Jett and Minas direction Roy didn't even move a muscle, he stood in place folding his arms under his cloak. Piering at Hitomi's face as she was engrossed on them. The sheep girl then turned back to him asking when the other two will arive.

"I am unsure, I am only familiar with Toni and not a Joanne." She then asked what was Roys quirk, he held his arm out.

"As long as there is light, I can make whatever I want" This was his first time using his quirk in tandem with his costume. According to the blueprints, his costume had cooling features to allow Roy to use his quirk more efficiently.

As he held open his palm, the sharp claws he wielded became clear. Soon the Led Trim on his costume began glowing a bright yellow as he activated his quirk. And soon a small orb of energy appeared, it did feel easier to use his quirk and he didn't feel as hot. Soon the Sun formed into a small butter knife as he held it. Soon she heard his name coming from behind.

"Roy was it?" The boy whipped around butter knife in hand as he turned to the girl in front of him who apparently was Joanne. She preferred Jojo, her costume was rather unique and raised questions as to what her quirk was. He looked over at Hitomi who might've been to shy to respond to girl as she had a certain air around her.

"Yep this is team C, and I am Roy" he turned his back and signaled towards his other teammate.

"and this is Hitomi" he looked once over at Jojo seeing she was more fit and bulky than the average lady.

Interesting, this team sounded like it had some potential.

Jett did just what she asked, thinking back to their earlier conversation it didn’t take long to come up with something she said or he said that would make sense for her quirk. He smirked at it, as she went on bickering at Ezra, explaining what it meant to have the costume. While it was partially true, His was mostly for practicality and protection, the only part of the costume that was really a costume was the hood.

Suddenly Roy went off on him for attacking him that morning, he shrugged “ I wanted to see how you would react.” He said simply as he stormed off, threatening him as he walked away. He kinda hoped they did. He sighed and then said, ”My ‘costume’ is purely for practicality and protection...well except for the hood. Looking to Kasuke, mine doesn’t compliment my hero name either unlike hers.Radiant? Not bad. He added as he leaned against a railing.

She then went on to explain about tomoe, He knew only that she made a clone of herself sometimes when she slept, nothing more than that. He raised an eyebrow as he noticed how quickly she had warmed up to Ezra, she must of really liked him. ”Hey Tomoe…” remembering she didn’t even recognize him from before in villion studies, he didn’t say anything else

Tomoe had called him strong. He guessed that was a compliment and she was definitely right about it giving them a chance in this exercise. As far as he was concerned, he was going to carry this team and there was no other way around it. It was at this point she had told him her quirk after looking him in the face. It was as awkward as it was comforting, and he was starting to warm up to the massive amount of contact that Tomoe seemed to give. Her quirk however sounded useful. Not a difference maker but it had it's place, and given that she promised it wouldn't hurt him, he didn't see an issue with it, but it was slightly concerning to him that it would be brought up in the first place. She then departed to go and put her costume on, which is when Mina had begun speaking.

Ezra listened to what Mina had to say. She was obviously very invested in hero tradition and wanted to emulate what those before her had done, and he didn't exactly see a problem with it. She seemed to think it was an important part of being a hero, and he honestly didn't feel like arguing. He wasn't changing any minds, and nor was she. This occasion, she was her teammate and as a result, he wasn't going to go out of his way to disagree with her unless it impacted what was happening. But she seemed to have something else in mind. The girls quirk. He was interested to see how it worked, but he'd got the gist of it from her explanation.

"She can make a clone of herself in her sleep that's a lot stronger. Don't really know how it works but I was thinking what you were as far as she's concerned." he spoke, giving a nod of approval to Mina. As disagreeable as she was, she wasn't a net negative and she wasn't an idiot, merely a flawed thinker in his eyes.

She had came back in a pretty interesting classroom. She immediately had asked who she was, but he found the costume interesting. It was pretty tight, and she was clearly embarrassed about wearing it so he couldn't understand why she was wearing it in the first place. If she didn't find herself comfortable in it, why would she put it on? That was one of his major gripes about costumes but he figured the question had effectively answered itself so he gave her a nod before she had begun to speak to Mina.

He'd effectively ignored the conversation between them however and placed his head back, but it seemed as if it was merely a greeting as before long, Tomoe had come back to him. There was definitely already a sense of attachment considering she had asked him if he thought it was childish and no-one else in the room. That, and the tone at which she spoke had put him in a mood to not give an answer true to his feelings. Whilst he thought all costumes were childish, he figured he'd give a better answer to her so she wouldn't lose her motivation just because of Mina's flexing in essence.

"No. Things are only childish once you believe that they're childish. If you like your costume and you think it's the coolest one in the room, then it's the coolest one in the room. Nothing anyone does or says can change that, as long as you genuinely believe that." he spoke straight from the heart. He wasn't often emotional, and he wasn't here, but he was genuinely speaking from his feelings and what he believed in this one. He hoped she'd regain her confidence that she'd had, because if she didn't believe in herself, then who was going to. He'd learned that the hard way himself.

Listening to what Erza was saying about Tomoe, Mina examined the small girl. Her quirk admittedly did sound useful, though odd. Their chances weren't really worse than anybody else's. She shook her head at Tomoe's question. "I was in the design meeting, but so was my mother, as well as a professional dressmaker, and an armor specialist" The nonchalant way she admitted her costume was made by a professional dressmaker...how rich was this girl? She hadn't even been bragging. She said that like it was normal!

"And don't worry," Mina continued in a tone that made it unclear whether she was mocking Tomoe or trying to be nice. It was most likely both. "Your costume is cute, and it suits you."

Mina was caught off guard by Jett's guess, she she looked over at him, but for a few few seconds, her mouth wouldn't respond to the brain's commands to reply. She eventually unfroze. "Yes, that's close enough! It's 'Radiance'" She hoped that the simple revelation would at least get a smile from Jett. She would feel then that there was no fristion between them from earlier, when she'd blanked him.

"When I make it, I shall show you first, and that's a promise," Hitomi beamed at Roy, smiling sweetly. When she heard his description of his quirk, her eyes lit up. "That sounds powerful and useful! We might even be able to win! How did you even get put in Support in the first place? No wonder you were transferred out so quickly. I'm still wondering why I was also chosen. Sure I have high grades, but this is all my quirk is; wooly hair, sheep ears and goat horns."

The girl called Joann joined them shortly after, and offered a handshake to Hitomi, which the sheep girl accepted and smiled. "Maeda Hitomi, Team c, yup. I really like your goggles!" she replied. "So, what's your quirk?"
