''Okay everybody, eyes on me! ~ Caw caw!!'' Lucille made her signature horrible impression of a crow to get the attention of the students that had gathered in the training grounds. ''As you know today is a big evaluation day. What we will be evaluating about each of you is on a case by case basis, taking your quirks, years and weekly schedule into account. Also, don't worry about passing or failing, all you have to do is show us what you've been working on.'' There were a few other teachers present to help monitor the student groups, but Lucille with her positive outlook and upbeat energy had been chosen to address the students under the belief that it would help wake them up since it was still early in the morning. ''Faraday-san, Yanai-san, I'll be observing your progress today. If you have any questions feel free to ask, otherwise, please show each other what you have learned and train like you usually do, pretend I'm not even here!'' She chuckled, waving her hand in front of her face as if she was going invisible. ''Being a mutation quirk user and a transformation quirk user respectively you should be able to find some common ground. My advice is to start small and expand from there! It's always easier than to accidentally burn up all your energy too fast.'' Other students were already getting started demonstrating their quirks, skills or other developments in the other groups. Lucille knew Yoko wasn't going to be the most enthusiastic, both because she knew Yoko by now, but also because judging from the groggy look and the way she clutched a thermos of coffee she still wasn't all there. ''Faraday-san, if you could start us off?'' Lucille suggested with a reassuring smile, eager to see how far the first year student had come. Samaritan, Yanai Yoko

Michael was rather nervous about this day and had been for weeks. He had kept much of his training under wraps so not to concern Yoko. He had actually needed to shift gears as his body began to naturally get stronger and faster from his training making his initial plans for an ultimate become obsolete. With how his training was going, eventually he'd surpass the need for something as strenuous and reckless as that, so he changed the output. The training remained the same as he would work on controlling and maintaining his air flow and conditioning his body, but now rather that focusing all the condensed potential energy into smaller and harder to hold form, he could distribute it more freely in a manageable state. Michael felt excited and scared to finally reveal this as he had yet to perfect it, at least to what he would deem perfection.
He was worried about the scolding he would get from Yoko about this, mainly because how dangerous it had been, especially practicing in private. But if Michael could master this, there was so many heroic capabilities for it. All of the rescue, evacuation and protective possibilities made this technique have vast utility. Michael hadn't even though of the offensive capabilities that this move would be able to pull off, but if perfected, it had the capacity to increase Michael's abilities 10 fold.
Michael quickly backed up to give himself some room. "Okay... so Yoko-aniki... don't be mad, okay?" He tried to preface this as she thought maybe he didn't have anything prepared and this would be quite the display... if he pulled it off. He never let himself go all out with it yet, so might as well just let loose and see what he could do when not holding back.
"Parade Floatilla!"
Michael shouted out as he slammed his fist together. The impact shuddered a ripple through his rubbery body, starting at his fists and spreading through his whole body. The ripple allowed a stretch and shift through his taut form that when he inflated himself allowed the gas to fill his body rapidly, stretching and expanding his entire body from the top of his balloon the the bottom of his shoes. He was thankful that the support department had managed to modify his gym clothing so effectively to stretch along with him, otherwise he would have torn straight through or inflated right out of them. Even still, the clothing was quickly reaching its apex as it stretched around his body tightly as he double, tripled, quadrupled, octupled in size.
Michael wasn't pushing himself past his own limits, but the limits of his straining gym clothes. Fully inflating 8 times his normal size wasn't his peak, but it was still significantly bigger than he had allowed himself to attempt before. Being nearly 50 feet tall felt wild. When he normally inflated it was usually one or a few parts or more focused on ballooning himself for efficient flying or air bagging, but now, it felt more like everything else had shrunk around him. His hands, his body, his legs, his head, everything but his clothing felt like its normal size to him since proportionally it all was.
Michael moved his hand slowly as he looked down at his palm which was now large enough to easily hold his friend in as if she was little toy. He shook off the thought as he tried to look back down to her. It took a little effort since everything was much smaller to him now. He tugged at the uncomfortable squeeze his shirt was making against his body, not to mention the irritating wedgie his pants were causing that he couldn't pick at in front of everyone there.
"Aniki...?" Michael called out in search for his little big sister friend.
Notes & Tags: Yanai Yoko, Lucille Arbogast, TLDR: Michael finally showed Yoko the technique he had been working on in secret, but despite the clothing being designed to stretch with him, it wasn't designed to go this far forcing him to currently inflate to a maximum of 8 times his ratio-size.

Lucille was so right that it wasn't even funny. Yoko wasn't exactly subtle in her expression, but she always looked particularly peeved whenever she had to get up early for something. In a way she was happy she was paired up with Michael and not someone else, since she wasn't as antagonistic with him as she was with some other students, especially before she had fully woken up. ''You got it, sensei.'' She answered unenthusiastically as she looked off to the side and took a big sip from her thermos. She was all for showing off the progress she had made, but like, she hadn't slept that well last night, and she hadn't had breakfast and she was actually having a bit of a headache and didn't really feel like it... A myriad of excuses rattled around in her brain, so she was more than happy to watch Michael go first while she thought about which one would get her to do the least amount of work... Maybe she could fake a doctor's note and say she was sick? To make matters worse, why was Lucille so happy and full of energy? What did she have to walk around and be smiling about? Even Michael was unusually quiet on this fine, shitty morning. When she glared at Lucille for no particular reason, their teacher simply smiled back at Yoko and indicated towards Michael as he got ready to show off. ''Whatever.'' She muttered into her thermos, opening her armored umbrella to shield herself from the rain cloud that formed over her head. ''Huh?'' She frowned at Michael. ''That's suspicious, no promises.'' She didn't know what he had been up to and honestly, she had been wanting to ask too, but for some reason she also didn't want to put too much pressure on him. Michael was basically already hero material in her eyes, why would she come after him for not thinking of supermoves? If she had been half asleep before, Yoko woke right up and damn near did a spit take when Michael used his move. ''O-Oi..!'' Was all she could exclaim in complete surprise, both amazed at his innovativeness and scared for his wellbeing. Other students took note of Michael too as he cast a huge shadow over the training grounds, many marveling and applauding him even without the full context of their conversation. ''That's insane! You figured out how to do this all on your own?'' She shouted up at Michael, unclear how well her voice would travel up to him. She was still scared for him, and he was getting scolded later if that technique did in fact hurt him, but right now she was too busy being impressed with her friend. At this rate he wouldn't even need an Aniki like her to look out for him. ''How? You-'' She circled around him, taking in this giant transformation from all angles. ''Are you okay like that? Does it hurt at all?'' She put a hand on her hip. ''Should I have a reason to be mad at you?''Samaritan

Michael Faraday
Tiptoeing Around the Risk
Now with his small friend relatively the size of a guinea pig or even a hamster, it wasn't exactly easy to spot her. It would be worse if she was moving around or in a crowd but he was able to assess her from just locking onto where she had been. More so than seeing her, hearing was clearly much harder in this state. In all the physical training and conditioning of his body, he hadn't thought of how much this form would affect his perception. Still he could make out most of what Yoko was saying as her voice was not exactly... subtle.
As Yoko circled him, it did prove to make it difficult to keep up with her visually. He didn't want to chance a misstep by moving around too much so it depended on him swiveling at his hips and neck to keep track of Yoko."I mean... it feels okay... a little disorienting... but okay... my clothes are a bit tight now..." He chuckled lightly, trying to tug some looseness in the constricting stretched fabric. "Since its an all over inflation... it feels less straining... I guess... It's like something being laid out on your whole body at once rather than a limb."
Michael quickly felt guilty from hiding his hard work. "Well... I haven't actually tried this out, just went through the body conditioning and theory... but in order to get myself prepared for this... I kind of.. pushed myself... a lot. Like putting myself through extreme pressurization for long periods of time..." Michael was tiptoeing around the fact that if he had messed up his training or has miscalculated this full body inflation for his technique, he likely would have blown off a limb at best. The gas compressing alone that he was holding for hours had him under such intense pressures that he gave himself the bends, or decompression sickness like a diver, for the first dozen or so times he was practicing it.
Notes & Tags: Yanai Yoko , Lucille Arbogast , TLDR: Michael struggles to perceive Yoko at this size. He tries to cover up just HOW dangerous and strenuous his training had been to pull this off while admitting he hadn't actually tested out the end result until just now

''Yeah no kidding.'' She couldn't even begin to imagine what growing to that size would feel like. No wonder he was disoriented. ''I can't believe they can make clothes that work like that.'' The support department students were absolutely built different, even if they were a bunch of nerds. Michael might have expected a trademark scolding from her, but she couldn't help but put on a rare smile. He probably couldn't see it from all the way up there, but hopefully he could hear it in her voice. ''Only you could pull off something like this! What's the purpose, can you lift heavy things? Get people out of tall buildings?'' She knew Michael wasn't a fighter and it would be wrong to assume the move was meant to do what most people would probably think of, crush people. Michael was somehow better than all that. People like her would have thought of how to use a move like that to cause destruction, but not Michael. It was kind of irritating how he managed to not only be so strong, but so virtuous too. She had so much catching up to do when her hardworking friend was giving it his all. ''Also... Does it come with an off-switch?'' She looked next to her expecting to see Lucille there, but she had already used her quirk to sprout wings and take to the skies. ''Show-off.'' She grumbled at their teacher as Lucille flew up next to Michael's head. ''Faraday-san, this is extremely impressive! If you need any help just let me know.''Samaritan
