Sorry I was away for the past two days, anyway....

Namie at this point is very much at this point determined to prove she is great on her own. I can see Kazuo fanning the flames a bit by playfully jabbing at Namie in a manner contesting what Namie trying to be great. Looking at Kazuo and his Quirk, I give Kazuo 7 out of 10 matches against Namie on his good days. Namie is not a gifted combatant and does not have super speed or strength but she only knows how to fight up close so due to poor adaptability will lose more times than win.
Namie understands that she can't win all the time, unlike Bakugou, but she won't like a losing record. SO she'll likely throw herself stubbornly into sparring matches often. Early in the RP she'll probably lose a lot but as she learns a bit more control and tactics, the fight will likely be much closer. Thus, I predict a very heated rivalry but Namie will probably be heavy on the fury and such while I predict Kazuo will be a bit easier. Of course they are naturally bonding at this point so it'll turn out to be a nice little friendship.
On another note, Namie and Kazuo would work well in tandem. One of the things that Namie knows she can use her Quirk for is body temperature control. The solid form feels like an ice cube and by having a few spikes on her head, she can cool her body better than sweat potentially. That is a big boon for endurance and Kazuo could totally benefit if they work together.

Totally. I actually see Namie making Ume her first friend in class. Their Quirks are both fairly similar in the biological control department which is their ice-breaker. Ume is also (I believe) not very confrontational so it'll be easy for Namie to feel comfortable in the relationship as Namie won't feel aggressively competitive towards Ume. In fact going back to the Quirk thing, Namie could definitely inspire confidence Ume as Namie is secreting a gross syrup-y fiber from her body but doesn't even phase her when her arms are drenched with that stuff. So naturally, Namie would not be concerned or grossed out with Ume's Quirk and would definitely step in to tell her first friend that she shouldn't worry about it.
I imagine Namie being fairly responsive to any questions or doubt Ume voices but will likely not pry until later in their relationship once they understand each other a bit better.
Ah okay, so it'll be a relatively good friendship apart from his sarcastic or snarky remarks. Interesting enough, i figured he might have a good chance at winning, though I only figured he would have a 50/50 chance overall. Although, I guess the proof would be in the pudding eh? We'll know when they fight lol She's gonna need to get better at hitting more fortified opponents though. and chances are, Kazuo would give her ideas when they aren't sparring. He wants her to get better, but he also wants to win lol
Not gonna lie, Kazuo would probably be willing to help her on his time. But just don't let her get too bossy or annoying lol, a little more snark than necessary is very likely to come out. Still, that's true, he wouldn't be as heated (ironic given the specifics of his quirk) as her. After all, he wants to succeed, but like I said, he wants his friends/allies to succeed to.
Except Nobunobu. Fuck that guy. lol jkjk And yeah! I figured there would be at least one or two people would would work well with Kazuo. And in my head, I'm thinking his suit will either have to be made of a breathable material or have some kind of incorporated system to cool him down. Like an onboard A/C or some shit.
How's everyone else doing btw?
