Sure enough, one of the teachers had managed to spot Lacara, and stopped her before she could try to put her half-baked plan into action. She was surprised to hear that the man was capable of speaking English, but didn't care in the long run. She invested more of her concern to the fact that he was in her way, and talked in a manner that, although probably unintentionally, had still insulted her intelligence nonetheless.
"I'm aware of the 'obstructions', sir." Lacara made her anger known through gritted teeth, "The whole reason I want to go back to the front gate was so I could deal with said 'obstructions'...!"
But still Mitsuhide Oyoshi, the teacher that she was talking to, remained steadfast in impeding her way. Lacara already started to hate this man for having the audacity to try defending those sorry excuses for human beings. It was ironic, really; a program that was supposed to help quirk users with their quirks, and yet there was always some quirkless goon wanting a hand to keep them in line.
"Fine, then. You win this one," defeated, Lacara reluctantly give up on her crusade for now, and walked away.
...
Even as she returned to the other students, Lacara kept her distance from them all, and held a hand over her eyes as she brooded to herself. She barely even paid the slightest attention to the teachers' introductions, with most of what they had to say going straight through one of her ears and out the other. She wasn't in the mood to try and process much of anything right then and there. Sure enough, however, things moved on and it was now time for the students to showcase what exactly they were capable of...
Some of the quirks that were put on display were actually really cool, especially the first two. Others, not so much. But even the less interesting quirks received plenty of praise from one female teacher in particular. This in turn lead Lacara to believe that that specific teacher was easy to impress, which meant there was little to no reason why she should try and pull out of the stops. As it got closer to the middle of the demonstrations, Lacara breathed a sigh that indicated her desire to get this over with, and walked over to the same concrete area that everyone else had been showing off their quirks. She forced the biggest of beaming smiles that she could possibly make, knowing all too well that would be what it'd take to get any type of smile to actually hold.
"Hi, everyone!" she chimed, "My name is Hanzawa Lacara, although you can call me Rakara too if you find it easier; I don't mind. My quirk is something I like to call Volcanic Bod. I can erupt lava from my arms, shoulders, back, neck and even the head area. It's an emotion-based quirk though, and it already just went off of me before I got here, so it'll take a while before I can actually show it off. It typically activates whenever I feel a powerful surge of high-energy emotion... like when I get super excited, for example, or when I freak out over something, or get taken aback... or when I'm pissed off, obviously..."
It was obvious that Lacara had run out of things about her quirk to talk about. She didn't want to take up valuable stage time forever, so she had to steer the topic of discussion. Although what could get her quirk to trigger? Her life in Detroit? No, not much happened back then that would be of interest to everyone. Her feeling about UA? Yatsumi was the one to get excited over the discovery, not Lacara. The protesters outside? ...the protesters outside, perfect! Lacara had been meaning to get that off of her chest, and this was her chance.
"Y'know what grinds my gears?" Lacara asked rhetorically, "Everyone at the front gate that was booing at us for just being us. A part of me didn't want to show up at all today just because I knew this was going to happen. And yet here I am, at the side entrance with everyone else despite wanting to charge through the front gate so I could make a statement."
She could feel the skin on her left shoulder starting to bubble. It wasn't just there either; the underside of her right forearm, both sides of her neck and even her scalp could be seen with that same bubbling. This was the beginning of a huge chain reaction, as Lacara's anger soared straight through the roof of what she originally thought was possible.
Unable to stop her rant any more, she instinctively switched to her native language in English.
"Those assholes think they're so entitled to blocking our path and saying whatever they want, but that's not true at all. They're barely even entitled to the air they fucking breathe, yet they take it anyway. And besides that; who decided that they get to be so pissy anyway? Can't they just shut the hell up and let quirk users live their god-damned lives?! They have absolutely no right to be anywhere near as angry with us as I am with them! All the lies and slander they shit out on a daily basis! IT'S ALL TOO FUCKING SICKENING!!"
...
Spacenaut had leaped into action when he saw the beginnings of an eruption. He placed himself between the spectators and the visor went completely dark. Both armored hands raised out in front of him and produced a vibrant blue light from his palms which quickly expanded into a wide-spanning shield of ionized air. The particles in the shield were excited to such a degree that it knocked away anything that touched it. It was barely enough time to react but he contained the potential danger.
Lacara noticed the force field being formed just at the last second, but by the end of it, she fell to one knee, wheezing and gasping for air as almost her entire body was drenched in lava from all the eruptions that had been set off in between. Tears cascaded down from her eyes, only to sizzle and boil away before they roll any further down than the center of her cheeks. She tried to ignore the pain that had surged from where each eruption occurred, but it was all too much.
Mori-sensei was awestruck, shocked, worried, but mostly excited at the spectacle that had just taken place. Lacara's quirk was raw uncontrolled power and was triggered by emotion. She wanted to express her excitement to work with the student but found herself struggling to do so with her in such an emotional state. The wrong words just might set off another eruption. Maybe it was best to just be gentle with her for now.
"That was a very informative demonstration, Rakara-kun. I can't wait to see more from you," she stated in a false professional tone, she was shaking trying to contain herself. "Thank you."
Lacara simply nodded in acknowledgement. It would take a while to collect herself, but once she did, she stepped off the arena and allowed Spacenaut to cool down the lava that was still on it. But just as she was about to return to the other students, she turned to face Mori-sensei.
"Actually, if you're going to thank anyone, you should thank Spacenaut-sensei for protecting everyone," she told her.
With that, she sat back down and waited for Spacenaut to finish cooling the lava, which he had to do before any more demonstrations could continue.
