Sora went shy upon receiving praise, even though she was used to it from her parents. She had always been told she had been lucky to have inherited both of their quirks, and how useful they'd prove. Still, she idolised her father. His quirk allowed him to fly much better than she currently could, and his wings were stronger. He also had the ability to throw his feathers like knives, which she didn't possess. Her feathers were simply feathers. Her mother's quirk was admittedly less impressive than her own but with the training and experience she had on the field, as well as her amazing tactical intellect, she too outshone Sora when it came to Heroics.
One thing Sora did disagree with is that there was more to her quirk than wings and horns. She had experimented with finding hidden powers, and had concluded that she had none. Her school friends had come to accept with her that sometimes a pure mutation quirk is just that; pure mutation. Sora knew a woman with a mutation quirk who was friends with her mother. She had cat ears and a tail could still had the hidden power to freeze objects in time when she touched them. Sora wasn't like that.
As if the universe had read her thoughts, next was a girl who seemed really unsure of her quirk. She was a mutant, yet she had a hidden power. In spite of herself, Sora grew ever so slightly jealous. Then again, putting herself in that girl's shoes, a fairly quirk-confident girl who could fly might also be an object of envy. She resolved to talk to her after class. The guy who went next was a conduit, who had taken some of Hikari's electricity and used it to show off his own quirk. That seemed like it could be very powerful and useful, though not against her. Sora smiled at that thought. Well, not unless he absorbed something from somebody else and used that. Her smile dissipated. Man, tactical thinking wasn't as easy as her mom made it look! Lastly was a girl who could absorb water to grow huge. No wait. She was...turning into a tree? If she could still move, that was a quirk she'd really have to watch out for!
Now that everybody was finished showcasing their quirks, they were asked to push them to their limits? What would Sora's limits be? Flying? She still wasn't comfortable with flying high, or flying fast, or diving, but these were fears she would just have to get over if she wanted to be a hero, and this would be the first step in that journey. As the others also started to push their quirks in a rather sho-offy manner, Sora hoped instead that as few people would focus on her as possible as she tuned, took a running start as she flapped her wings before leaving the ground and gaining height rapidly. Soon, her need to flap was gone and she was soaring in lazy circles around the top of the gym, near the roof. This, however, was nothing she hadn't done before. She needed to do something new, and daring. She needed to push herself and her quirk. She could start by getting over her fear of diving.
Aiming at the pool, Sora then used to wings to stop her opwn momentum before propelling herself downwards horns-first. The unpleasantness of the rushing sensation reared it's head, and her fear kicked in as the pool grew larger and closer, and after a few seconds she flapped her wings in a panicked motion, slowing her descent before falling slowly and ungracefully into the pool. She got out, clothes and hair wet and looking, pardon the pun, sheepish. That did not go as planned.
