As much as Iphi wanted to remain where she was and help the students she was most familiar with, that wasn't why she was here. "I need to observe some other groups." She'd give a quick bow to the group and make sound rounds, offering any advice and answering questions whenever anyone asked. Some groups were struggling, and others were moving forward with ease, and once she had sufficient information, she made her way back. Jun, being a part of her agency, warranted more observation than was required.

[break][break]
Much to her surprise, it looked like Kiku had figured something out new. She took the opportunity to bend down next to her and observe, not wanting to grab the mushroom since she wasn't a gremlin, she instead would turn and speak to the dejected Kiku. "I'm glad you figured something out; something like that is not only useful as a rescue method, but I'm sure children would love a personal trampoline. That is assuming you can make them big enough in a short amount of time."

[enma]

[attr="class","body"]

Enma's specialty was protecting people, but not necessarily calming them down. Maybe there was more to public relations other than a good image. The image helped quell fears and feelings of doom upon the very sight of a hero, but it takes more than that usually. What will the hero do to prove they are reliable? Can they extinguish the chaos of villainy that threatens the lives of the public. Battles had a lot of consequences on the heart of the average person.

So when he thought about finally embracing his quirk's peaceful side, as much as it made him sick, he crouch and began manifesting various colors from his finger tips. The blush on his cheeks had been amplified as his discomfort regarding this particular use of Inkheart coincided with the mystic inks of its power. There was also Kikurage's spite that seemed like he wouldn't be hated forever but also that he very much had to suffer her judgment.

"I can...apply painting in different ways?" Drawing a small mural along the ground with simmering colors, bubbling and unstable from his lack of confidence. They were vibrant, a stark contrast to the shadow that was Enma. It was like he wanted to be lost and unseen when in the presence of the warmth of hope in its palette. It simply said, "I will protect". "I don't know the full scope, but when speaking fails, I guess I can give directions too."

He looked to Lucius for guidance, darting his eyes over to Jun and then finally Oniki. "Oniki, I think that you represent strength when you're transformed. If they know you're there to protect them, maybe they won't fear you. Also, I...can paint very quickly, yes." A nervous smirk as he turned to observe Jun guiding Kikurage and working with Ms. Pavlina. Looking back at his mural, crouched and held his knees.

What if he wasn't good at calming someone down? He could calm Masao down, but she knew him. She was an outlier, despite lov-- despite her being a very important person to him. "What are some images that can calm someone down? Is this what would need that personal branding I hear about?" Tilting his head, it seemed that he struggled tapping into his creative side consciously, despite his line-work being elegant. This was hard.

Despite the fact that the classes attention wasn't on her, her rain cloud just refused to go away. What a pain, why did the teachers have to speak to her? No, why had she even asked that stupid question in the first place and drawn attention to herself? Thank god Iphi was going to check on the other groups. She watched as Enma worked his quirk, colors bursting forth from his fingertips. By the time that his mural was done she had joined back by Iora's side. ''Liar. You totally have a parlor trick ready.'' She replied judgmentally, both because she was impressed and jealous of how he was able to apply himself.

''Strength? So I just tell them to calm down and shut up? That's what I was planning to do all along.'' She was tempted to light another cigarette, but resisted the urge since she didn't want to bother Iora with it. ''Isn't it individual what calms someone down? You might as well ask us what our favorite movies are.'' She thought about it for a moment before speaking up again. ''Cats. Paint the image of a cat or something like that. That's pretty inoffensive.'' She looked back at Iora and gave a casual shrug. ''So, team losers, what can we do to make someone calm down? I can tell people to shut up and fuck off if they don't want my help.'' She indicated to Iora with her hand, waiting for her answer. ''...And you can?''

[Iora Caringal]

Ah. Not the type to share her name or do handshakes. That's fine with her- Iora lowered her hand unbothered. "Ooh, I don't agree with that name- oh dear." She moved back a bit when the rain started. Glancing up, her brow furrowed when the cloud was only raining on the poor student. She pointed at it. "Is that normal?"

Actually, that wasn't important. They needed a better name. "Let's call ourselves Team Potential! We have our own tricks, they just haven't been discovered yet!" The flower student was confident they'll find one, even if it won't involve their Quirks in the end. They had to- being able to calm children is very important in her book.

And it was so nice of Recall to display her own. Iora clapped her hands together. "Oh, that's wonderful! What an amazing show of accuracy!" She waved when the redhead made her leave to look after the other students. "Alright, thank you for demonstrating your trick Ms. Pavlina!" She turned to the instructor, waving at him as well with a smile when he addressed her. "And thank you Mr. Lucius! I'm happy to be here!"

A man clad in black then came by and to speak to the blonde girl. Oniki? Was that her name? Iora peered down at the painting and gasped. "Ooh, that's beautiful... Though I agree, cats are very cute! I'm sure any child will calm down once they see one."

Then the girl gestured to her. Blinking at the hand in confusion, Iora eventually gasped again. "Right! My Quirk!" She swung her arms and roots extended upwards behind her. "I can extend my roots! They can be used as shields and to wrap around things." She waggled her finger then, her roots following the gesture. "Though I will say, punishing the children for being distressed is not the best answer. Is your rain cloud your Quirk? Maybe we could do something with that?"

"Contemplating why you're here,"

"Floating through the atmosphere~"

"Laughing through your crocodile tears,"

"As your moment disappears~"

"Marijuana, or weed as you called it, also has actual medicinal uses, and it is still a drug. Pain killers are also drugs." Sora smirked a little mischievously as he countered Kiku's comment, but his tone remained teasing and not really serious. Though he was happy to see Jun seemed to have a bit more sense on the matter when it came to why someone fearing for their life did not want to see something decompose in front of them.

It seemed like Iphi had the two covered though, and so Sora turned to focus more on the other three, totally not also because of the fact that Kiku unnerved him. His smile brightened as Enma gave the painting a try, adoring the use of the boy's quirk.
"That's awesome!" He grinned at the painted declaration before pausing to think about ways to help him with imagery. It was a difficult thing to grasp considering how much people varied from one another, but the boy showed a lot of promise despite maybe being a tad grim.

After a moment he lifted his arms in front of him, sending out a few small colorful clouds that swirled into the air around the group to take on different forms. Near Kiku, a dark red and purple mushroom-shaped cloud pulsed in the air. Over Iora's head spun a golden lily-shaped cloud that danced along in the breeze. By Yoko, a little red cloud in the shape of a cartoon devil hovered over her shoulder and swayed in the rain as if drunk. More little clouds in various shapes and colors drifted in the air between them and around the others.

"Although personalities vary greatly, calming someone down can be as simple as distracting them in a positive way." Emphasis on positive for some in this class. "It doesn't always have to be something they love or really enjoy, so long as it captures their attention." He replied, turning to nod to Yoko as she gave Enma a good prompt. "Cats are a great example, most animals can work well so long as you avoid the ones involved with common phobias."

[attr="class","Im"]

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Fumbling into Success [attr="class","rhythm"] Having put her room keys in a sort of mushroom ball, Kiku continued bouncing her shroom ball off of the trampoline shroom she had grown.  Feeling quite dejected as she listened to Mr. Lucius add in a teasing jab about the technical definitions, as it felt like a losing battle attempting to debate-lord a Professional Hero Faculty member.  Jun took an argument point that Kikurage still didn't get, but at least had a better chance of trying to get the point across. What was most interesting was the second faculty member of this class, Iphi, seemed to hone in on the more practical aspect of Kikurage whilst hovering in the general vicinity of the two variations of redheaded students.  Jun would crouch down, entranced with the bouncy mushroom whilst bemoaning the lack of flexibility of her quirk, which caused Kiku to snap back, "At least I'm trying." A jab that was intended to make herself feel better about trying and failing in this class, Kikurage continued, "I know I don't have any leg to stand on, but I'm at least trying.  And your supposed to be my senior, you should have something that'll make a brat's eyes sparkle."  The Redhead didn't have any faith or belief in Junsuina, but rather had a logical thought process that there was something the fellow student could try. Only this backfired and made Kiku groan, realizing that if a third year was struggling with this then what chance did a creepy, anti-social mushroom freak like her have?!  Getting so much into her own head about this, she wouldn't even see the potential her little gimmick was having.  Jun inquired about the kind of mushroom it was, getting a simple, "Just a strand of Amanita Mushrooms.  One of the less poisonous variety that I manipulated to grow and be bouncy" Then Recall would remark upon having seen Kiku's little mushroom stress relief, which caused the student to huff out a, "Heuh?"  Squinting up at Iphi, she continued listening to the practical use of the bouncy shroom, and admitting that kids would love a personal trampoline.  "....  Surrrre  I figured it out," Kikurage lied like a liar, "And it can be big enough, I used a big one during the Sports Festival to get a good position during the race." Kiku admitted the truth there, but still was completely off-guard about how she fumbled into a good idea?  Then completely taken off guard when a cloud formed above her, jumping a bit with a startle before realizing it was Fae King's quirk.  He then went into another speech which just flew right over Kikurage's head.  She just looked at the trampoline mushroom and placed a hand on it, willing it to expand and grow in size until it was several meters wide. "Tram-po-line," Kikurage uttered out loud, hands presenting it like some sort of car salesman as she stood back up to her feet.   (tagged)⏤ junsuina,Kikurage Shimeiji,Sora Lucius,Yanai Yoko,Iphigenia Pavlina,Iora Caringal,enma,

[junsuina]

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Jun winced a little at the barb, but decided to roll with the punches. Standing up to her full height (which wasn't that impressive), she looked at Kiku and turned to the side, holding out her hand. "Well, the short of it is, I do. I've had to do something like this already, but...well, to better explain:" one of Jun's rings glowed, and right next to her an anchor the same height as her formed in the space, hitting the ground with a thud as the chain that came with it piled up neatly in a stack. "I can alter the size of these, but they're limited to different categories. They're also not permanent. If I gave something like this to a kid, I'd have to make a choice of keeping it active constantly, which would be emotionally draining and severely hindering my capabilities in the field, or use words and tricks over my quirk." This was the lack of flexibility Jun was talking about. Her quirk was capable of doing so many different things, and Jun could pull off so many different methods of using her constructs. But comforting a kid? It'd take a lot more wordplay with a construct to emphasize a point. Which...well, it wasn't the best of methods. But not totally useless, as she had learned. But as Kiku was demonstrating, wordplay was a lot more important than that. Waving away a little cloud man with a pitchfork Jun took a step towards the trampoline, nodding. "Depending on the situation, some of those...Amantra mushrooms could make for good bouncy balls. Though if they're mildly poisonous, I'd be careful which kids you give it to. Never know when one might shove something they shouldn't into their mouths...but I think you might want to practice delivery." Jun put on her best smile. And when the author says best, he really means one of those fake smiles that shows that the person is really too nervous to be genuine. Thankfully Jun was at least somewhat aware, shaking her head. "Okay, maybe not that smile, but...you want to reassure people. Show them that things are going to be okay. It's...confidence and all that." Something she was sorely lacking.

While Iphi was largely here to observe, she couldn't help but smile as she watched the students absorb the lesson. Back when she was a student and frankly a handful she didn't like the PR lesson she took at the time. She was so focused on getting stronger physically that she neglected her quirk properly so she failed at the time. It was hard to not want to give the students the answers to their problems, but that was part of what it meant to be a hero. You could rely on others but you had to be able to save yourself and others.

[break][break]
Still, Kiku, in particular, caught her interest. She had a similar outlook that Iphi did back when she was her age, and with Jun being familiar with her, she was likely a good judge of character. "As much as I would like to help you two, I believe any questions on the validity of your quirk being used in this course would be best directed at Fae King." She would gesture to Sora who was busy helping other students. "However, if you're looking to expand the applications of your quirk and gain some practice with what you'll have learned in this class-" She took out a card with her contact information and Ouros' location as well. "I'm sure we'd love to have you at Ouros. Your friend Jun is currently interning there; if you'd like to do the same, please give me a call." She'd take a few steps back. "For now, I'd focus on the lesson at hand. I'm eager to see what you both come up with."

[Yanai Yoko]

Yoko frowned back at Iora, indicating up at her rain cloud. ''This? I'm just having a bad day.'' She emphasized. It was very much normal, but she didn't really want just anyone and everyone to know that. ''Team Potential?'' She asked, sounding like she didn't like the name before giving a casual shrug. ''Okay, I'm into it.'' This kind of positivity was reminding her of Michael. The hero course needed more optimists like Iora. Sticking her hand out to shake Iora's hand, Yoko finally started warming up to her. The disrespect of ignoring a handshake from Iora moments prior completely lost on her. ''I'm Yoko, or Oniki.'' Strategically leaving out her last name as always. Her last name didn't matter here anyway, and getting Iora to talk about her power was the perfect topic shift.

''Those are... Your roots?'' She couldn't hide the surprise in her voice as she looked up at the roots Iora commandeered. ''So like, they're a part of you?'' She could immediately see why Iora was as hesitant as her about this exercise. The roots weren't really all that scary on their own, but Iora could probably easily startle kids with these things. ''Being distressed is a sign of weakness. That's why parents punish their kids early so they stop freaking out all the time.'' She didn't realize it as she said it, but this was more telling about her own family life growing up than anything else. However, she let her point go when Sora chimed in too, it was clear that brute force wasn't really going to get them anywhere. ''My quirk is transforming into a monster.'' She said plainly to Iora, looking up at the cloud. ''The cloud is more like... A side effect. It's probably easier to just show you.''

With a single exhale Yoko's skin rapidly turned blue, her muscles growing bigger, but her height was otherwise the same. Two tusks also grew out of her lower row of teeth and she sprouted a long, slender tail. ''Ever heard of trolls?'' Her voice was a lot deeper than before and she still looked as grumpy as ever. ''My quirk is similar to the trolls you can read about in Swedish folklore.'' Well, in some respects anyway. She didn't exactly want to get technical and talk poor Iora's possibly non-existent ear off, but out of all the Nordic mythology trolls, the ones in Sweden resembled her power the most. Even if it wasn't a one to one thing.

"It appears when you have a bad day?" Iora peered up at the cloud in question before focusing on Yoko again, a worrying frown on her face. "That's awful! I hope your day gets better. At least you have your trusty umbrella with you." She must have that all the time then. You never know when your day could turn sour and get worse with soaked clothes.

Her brow rose when the other blonde offered her hand again, only for the realization to dawn on her. She wanted to shake her hand after all. Face alight with a smile, Iora took the hand and shook it with gusto. "It's wonderful to meet you Yoko! Is Oniki your hero name? I like it- hopefully I can come up with one that's as good as yours." A good hero name took time though. She was in no rush to find it at the moment.

Relinquishing her hand, she nodded at Yoko's question. "Mhmm! You could say the roots are my legs now, I don't walk like the average person. I do more of a slither." Iora pouted at her statement. "And being afraid isn't a weakness. When a child is in distress, it's usually because they're met with something they don't know- so it's the parent's job to teach them what's harmless, not punish them."

Iora hummed then. "Though I suppose it's different when someone's distressed during an emergency..." Yeah, this was going to be a tough assignment. Her eyes were drawn to the various shapes their instructor conjured, clapping at the lily above her and giggling at the shoulder devil Yoko had. "A positive distraction, hmm..."

Turning to Yoko again, she gasped at her transformation. "Oh wow! What a fun Quirk!" She didn't care at all about how scary it was- it wasn't like she was any better anyway. "I've heard about trolls as a term but not the lore, I'd love to hear more about them sometime." As much as she wanted to listen now, they still haven't come up with a trick! And they needed at least a concept of one by the time the class ends.

"For now though, parlour tricks! I'm assuming your transformation comes with increased strength, so maybe you could do things related to it? Like lifting something heavy, or breaking a hard object. I'm sure the children will marvel at how strong you are even with just crushing a pebble with your bare hands."

A lot has changed about Enma since he started opening up to people. He wasn't outgoing, but he was calmer when it came to being around others. He wasn't going to be a social disruptor, but he found it easier to be kinder than he used to be. Before, when he met people, he was much more brooding and dark in demeanor. This was anxiety, a journey into the unknown that kept him from expressing himself well.

He was far from matching his social skills with his swordsmanship, but his observations became clearer. Like knowing the battlefield, he could see more of the meaning behind people's interactions as he observed the class. The painting was a good start, an insecurity he had when wanting to appear as some infallible, indomitable warrior. As a way of lightening the mood, he took an attempt at humor. Drawing impeccable cat visages to represent the different students and even the two teachers around him, he made things like Cat-Oniki, Cat-Iphi or even Cat-Jun.

"I think...I figured out how I can use my painting. I can lighten the mood..." He observed Oniki's abrasive nature and figured there was fear and insecurity in their self-image. They saw the troll as a monster, but what people needed sometimes was a symbol to give direction. Before Oniki would hopefully realize, he drew her in her transformed nature but depicted the emotion of the strokes as heroic and epic.

The power of his quirk came with the translation of mind to matter, bringing forth an Oniki that wasn't some scary monster but one that could stand as vanguard to the people. "Oniki, I don't think you need to be scary if you don't want to be. Perspective is the key, right Fae King?" Looking for validation in his revelation, he wondered if that was the key to these tricks. Is that what the heart of the class was?

"One eye on the clock,"

"One eye on the mirror~"

"Take a step through your thoughts,"

"Is it getting clearer?~"

Sora watched Yoko transform with a look of wonder and an amused smile, knowing full well his daughter would adore such a quirk, but that was mostly due to her personal tastes. Luna also wouldn't pass it just because she adored it either, but the group was progressing well together so things were looking good.

He nodded at Enma's words and grinned, quite enjoying the boy's pictures. Although he chose not to mention it yet, the picture of Yoko would be a pass for him. For Luna, it would depend on how he used it.
"Right~! Kids, especially young ones, don't rely on concepts of looks the same way adults do, they lack the experience to make those calls. They rely more on expressions and your approach. You need to be able to put yourself in their shoes and adapt to meet the situation~"

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Knowing her Role [attr="class","rhythm"] Kiku was a bit harsh with the words, she didn't like it when people weren't even trying.  There was a difference between trying and being a failure, and and not trying at all.  Kikurage would finally see Jun being able to show a bit of what her quirk was able to do, what with creating an anchor and chain.  Jun tried to rationalize that, and Kiku would think it over a bit.  "If that's all your quirk can do with the anchor and chain, then do some sort of trick with it?  Like a jump rope, or create some sort of chain yo-yo trick?  You know better than me I guess?" Then Iphi would take hold of the conversation, and mention how she couldn't really help any further.  Only to outright offer an internship with a business card and the location of a hero office called Ouros.  "Huh?" Kiku practically honked out in disbelief, looking at the card and at the substitute teacher.  Trying to determine if this was a legitimate offer, because she didn't know what the hell Iphi was seeing right now.  "Erm...  Thanks?" She'd confusingly admit, pocketing the card before returning to business with Jun and created the 'Tram-po-line.' Jun would comment about the type of the Amantra "Amanita," Kiku would correct Jun mid sentence, not really seeing the problem with a word correction.  But at least the propositions she made seemed reasonably and rather easy, "Huh.  Never saw it that way.  And I know which Mushrooms are poisonous or not, so no issues there."  The Mycomancer would continue and watch Jun attempt to smile, only to see it being fake as hell.  "That's not a good smile," Kiku flatly called it out. Jun also found this quite lacking, and told Kiku to try to teach her the power of assurance.  Thinking it over, the redhead added on, "I see the point your making.  That's not my strong suit.  I can just grab a hero with better PR than me, like you.  I'm not someone who excels at being in front of crowds.  Heck, I hate being in crowds.  I cursed out some Sports Festival audience members for being rude towards one of my opponents.  Not to stand up for my partner, but because their words just annoyed me." Shrugging in this flat admission, Kikurage was more than happy to act in the background.  She was content how she was right now, at least aware of how she was probably out of touch with her peers, let alone proper civilians and the populace.  She will do what's needed, but at the same time it was probably better to play to her own strengths.

[Yanai Yoko]

She gave a small nod at Iora. ''That's exactly why I carry an umbrella.'' That, and umbrellas were sick as hell. Especially when you got a super talented egghead to make you an armored one. ''Pleasure's all mine.'' Her tone was completely deadpan, but she wasn't trying to be sarcastic. ''You should get Michael to come up with your hero name. He chose mine for me.'' She shook her hand firmly, but not too firmly in case Iora was more fragile than she looked. When Iora brought up her perspective on being afraid, Yoko crossed her arms. ''Is that so? We must've had very different parents growing up.''

For some reason she was expecting Iora to shriek in horror when she saw her quirk. ''Fun?'' Her quirk had been called many things before, fun? Fun wasn't exactly what she would have thought of herself, but hey she wasn't about to turn down such a nice compliment. ''I guess I can give you a lecture whenever we're not in the middle of a lecture.'' She side eyed Sora, paranoid that they were being judged by their teachers somehow. Sure, both him and Iphi were nice, but maybe it was a facade all along. She couldn't shake the thought completely. In any case, she turned back to Iora as the plant girl turned out to be very good at brainstorming. ''Like a strongman routine? Lifting or breaking things is pretty much all my quirk is good for, so I can do that.'' She mused thoughtfully.

''How about your roots.'' She pointed down at the ground. ''Are they safe? You could probably make a makeshift playground out of your shield?'' Shit. She jumped at the opportunity to suggest something because Iora had gotten her mind going, but she was already blanking. She had made it look so easy too.

She looked over at Enma as he addressed her, her eyes immediately wandering to the paintings he had made on the ground as she took out her phone, squatted next to the one of her, and snapped a picture. Kawahara would get a kick out of that later. ''The only perspective I want is whatever let's me pass this class.'' She answered still as grumpy as ever. ''No one told me I would need to get along with kids to be a hero.'' She muttered a bit quieter hoping Sora wouldn't hear it., Out of curiosity she looked over at the other group of redheads. Was Jun-senpai, of all people, struggling with this assignment too? No, surely she was just helping out Kikurage, who immediately earned Yoko's silent approval when she said she had cursed at Sports Festival goers. Shitheads probably deserved it.

''Iora.'' She turned to look at the captain of Team Potential. ''How tough are your roots?''

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Jun sighed, dismissing the construct with a wave of her hand. "Waving your arms and legs around won't solve the problem. I guess to break it down, you need to get on their level, provide enough stimuli to distract them from the problems going on around them, and give reassurance..." She'd left Iphi come in and give Kiku an interning opportunity, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She wished that was how she got pulled into Ouros instead of...well. That other way. She'd then blink as Kiku pointed out that Jun was better at this than she was, and...no. "I'm actually awful at this sort of thing," she says, standing back up. "It's fine to not be good at this sort of thing, at least at first, but the important takeaway I've found is learning how to deal with crowds in a simple way. Or learning how to disengage. Sometimes you're not going to be able to have someone with proper PR training on hand, and you'll still have to present a good enough face as to not get your agency in trouble." She wanted to add on, Even if public image chasing by agencies is stupid, but it'd take a lot out of her argument. "Think of it like...a mask. One that you show the public. It doesn't have to be super impactful, but it's the little things that matter. Cursing out a whole crowd is...not a good look. But acting respectfully and professional is."
