侘び寂び

It’s a nice day to go to the beach or something, Kodai thought as he made his way to the physical education grounds. The sun was out this afternoon, and while it was warm, it wasn’t too, too hot. There was a nice cool breeze that was gentle and balanced out the heat. Admittedly, Kodai wasn’t a fan of the cold, nor was he a fan of the hot either. This weather, however, was perfect. Not too hot, not too cold, not too wet, not too cloudy—absolutely perfect. Too bad it had to be spent doing schoolwork and not at the beach or in the city. But, he was fortunate to be spending his time outside instead of being stuck inside all day. Maybe, just maybe, later in the night he would hit the clubs or something.

The physical education ground was a vast field of dirt, outlined by thick white paint, that stretched out from behind the school. Kodai was instructed to meet a couple of students out here in the physical education ground to practice some combat. From what Kodai understood, the three students were supposed to spar a bit and just help one another out. Honestly, Kodai was somewhat excited to meet new people, but, he was too thrilled that they had to meet during a sparring session. He’d rather them meet over lunch or something, but, oh well, the professor knew best and he wasn’t going to complain.

Per usual, Kodai was the first to arrive at the physical education ground.

[Zoey Ward]

⛓ Metal Marshal

Zoey slid the U.A.U Sport uniform over her head before pulling a few stray hairs out of the uniform's neckline. After some fumbling, her arms slid through their respective holes in the fabric before becoming distracted by the sight of her own palm.

While many U.A.U. students wanted to be heroes their entire lives and evidently put in the appropriate training to do so, Zoey had been growing increasingly self conscious in that heroism is a more recent dream of hers. Putting oneself in harm's way to save random strangers against villains with unknowable powers. She's not that selfless - or wouldn't be if she still thought she'd get to live a full life. She hadn't put the time in to watch footage of battles between powerful quirk users, or researched her own quirk's combat applicability that much herself. Doing well in a practical exam was one thing, but sparring against people who've so much more wholly devoted themselves to this cause? That was another...

What time is it?

Zoey's eyes widened as she realized that she's doing it again. Lost in thought as the minutes wile away. Stop thinking, start doing, she tells herself, before roughly grabbing a bag containing some of her things and bolting out the door, down the stairs of the womens' dorm and out into the sunny heat.

Heavy footsteps were the first herald of her arrival, but along with that was the sound of her bag being dragged through the dirt rather than actually buckled around her waist like it should be. Her other is up in the air, waving to the fellow first-year, Kodai as she comes to a slightly skidding stop.

"I'm not too late, am I?" She calls out, noticing the lack of the third student who's supposed to be here. Zoey's breathing was strained between words. "I'm Zoey Ward," she introduces herself, quickly catching her breath. Her American accent is thick, words almost a little bit over-separated, the R sound coming out a little harsh, with little of the rhythmic flow expected of most people. "Didn't miss our training?"

[rin]

A short distance away from the meeting spot, Rin was still trying to work up the nerve to go out into the training field properly and great the two first years. Half-tucked behind a wall, the brunette was struggling with all new anxieties. Like giving a good impression as a second year, making sure she didn't scare away the first years or accidentally injure them or herself, making sure she could actually help the first years out, among all sorts of other things. The thing she kept getting hung up on was that she was a second year now, that people would potentially look up to her or expect her to live up to second-year-standards when she had barely managed to make it through first year. Maybe she could text Iphi-san or her sister or Freja or Emi or someone for advice?

"No no, they're busy with their own things..." Rin murmured under her breath. Bringing her hands up to smack against her cheeks a couple times, and mostly just making her face sting a bit, she straightened up and took a deep breath and walked out towards the meeting spot. Bringing one hand up in a hesitant wave before forcing herself to commit to a more energetic - perhaps too energetic? - one, the second year picked her pace up into a quick little jog to close the last couple feet.

"Ah, sorry for making you wait." Rin brought her hands down in front of her and bowed in apology before introducing herself. "I'm Gotoh Rin, the... second year, that is going to, uh, be training with you today." What was she supposed to say or do after introducing herself? Well, she had overheard Zoey's introduction but it was probably best to give her a chance to reply properly, and the boy first year should get a chance to introduce himself too. So she'd wait a bit to let that happen before clearing her throat and clasping her hands together before saying: "Feel free to, uhm, ask any questions, but when you're both ready we can... start working on some sparring. Do... either of you have any kind of preferences, strong points, weak points?"

How did people like Iphi-san and her sister make giving advice seem so easy?

侘び寂び

Truth be told, Kodai did not mind that his sparring partners were late. Honestly, he wasn’t really a fan of fighting especially without an instructor making sure that they weren’t going too far, which was honestly a huge concern seeing that his quirk could make him a bit animalistic at times. Not only that, but Kodai simply didn’t like fighting. In a sense, you could call him a pacifist of sorts, preferring to result to violence as a last resort. Granted, in order to protect and whatnot, you need to know how to throw hands. Yawning a little, Kodai decided to take a few moments to simply rest and relax while waiting.

Using his quirk, Kodai decided to bask in the glory of the sun and fall breeze. Using his quirk, Kodai shifted into a microraptor; a small, adorable, four winged dinosaur that was no bigger than your average crow. Fortunately, he brought his super suit with him, so instead of his clothes dropping to the floor, they simply shifted and contracted to match his new shape. Once transformed, Kodai fell on his back with all legs and wings spread out, letting his stomach face the warm sun.

Ah this is the life, he thought while making dirt angels in the field. Then the sound of heavy footsteps beating against the field came to his attention, Kodai sat up, frantically turning his head to the direction of the nose. Aww man, I was fixing to take a nap!

“Hey over here!” A mechanical voice would come from his neck. The gorget, that was a part of Kodai’s suit, became a collar around the microraptor’s neck. “Nah, you didn’t miss anything, maybe me taking a nap, but that’s it. I think we are waiting for~~” as he spoke another individual started to approach them.

“Oh! Everyone’s all here!” He said clapping his wings together. Kodai waited for the two to introduce themselves then spoke, “I am Kodai! Or Dino-Knight! Are we using our hero names?” He asked Rin, then shrugged. “Well, I guess you can call me anything….um…also I am a freshman, or first year, but ah, how do these things usually start Rin?”
