"Alright, next pair! Helt-san and Ro- uh, Miroru-san!"

The teacher made a solid save avoiding Miroru's last name, and the redhead nodded gratefully, pushing up the sleeves of her jumpsuit blazer and undoing the zipper halfway, exposing the bandage wrap halfway up each forearm. Flexing her fingers and rolling her wrists, Miroru stepped onto the practice field, glancing towards her gray-haired classmate with a reassuring smile.

She wasn't sure what Freja's combat style looked like, exactly, but she was looking forward to getting to see it in action! She stood in her assigned spot and bounced a little- she'd stretched, of course, before getting out onto the field. 

She caught a couple of their classmates snickering and gesturing to Freja as she took the field. Each abruptly went silent as a cold chill shot down their spines, and they realized Miroru was staring daggers their way, swallowing and falling silent to buy their freedom from her "gentle" reminder to fucking behave. Then it was back to Freja with that grin. "Ready when you are, Helt-san!"

Freja couldn't help but shoot the teacher a look when he corrected himself on Miroru's name. Was it that big a deal? She looked back to Miroru. Freja knew very little about her family situation other than it sucked. Still, now she cringed a bit at their first encounter and how she called her by her last name... Oh well, she just had to make a mental note of it and not do it again. Apologize whenever she got the chance to and correct herself and do better moving forward. With bandage wraps up her forearm and everything, Miroru really came out rocking the look of an experienced fighter. To say Freja felt a little intimidated was an understatement. She tried her best to return the smile, but probably came across a lot more nervous than her opponent.

Freja herself was wearing a standard UAU gym uniform and allowed her wooden training stick since it was the whole crutch of her fighting style. With some of their classmates snicking in the background, Freja did what she did best, ignoring them completely as she took to the field and focused on Miroru. The bullies didn't matter right now anyway, they couldn't hurt Freja until after class, so at the very least until then she was safe. If anything, she was relieved she was fighting someone like Miroru who didn't think of her as less of a human than their quirked peers. When Miroru shot them a glare, Freja couldn't help but smirk. ''Thanks.'' She said plainly, the tired look in her eye a clear indication of how much she dealt with this on a daily basis. However, the tiredness soon disappeared as determination took hold, amber eyes staring Miroru down as she pointed the bat her way. ''Ready. Don't hold back just because I'm quirkless or I'll hate you for it.'' She said coldly. There was nothing worse than getting babied by others when she had earned her way into UAU same as everyone else.

"Welcome." Miroru replied, lips quirking into a small, reassuring grin. "And alright, then. If you're sure~"

Rainbow sparks flared around Miroru, then cascaded over the area of their arena, coalescing into another, a few, a DOZEN Miroru's in all directions, the foxes scattered around her and all rushing in at once- except one! She was standing still with her hands together and seemed to be focused on creating all those other foxes!

...

But that was a fake too. Miroru, the real Miroru, was scampering off through the crowds diving at and past and through Freja, chaos all around- and only one set of audible footsteps leaving faint scuffs on the packed earth as Miroru repositioned and tried to snag Freja with a flipping toss stolen from Judo!

She smiled back at Miroru, before blinking her eyes. If she was sure? Miroru said it in a playful tone, but it immediately took Freja out of the edgelord bs she had just spouted moments before. ''Uh- s-sure yeah!!'' That's right, in this house we double down! Besides, she really wanted to see what Miroru could do. Maybe, even though Freja didn't have a quirk, she could get inspired by her fox friend?

The rainbow sparks was no surprise. Her quirk was all about light after all so that was to be expected. Wait a minute... Was she cloning herself?! How could she even do that? Wasn't her quirk about manipulating light or something? Freja continued to have her bat raised, but looked increasingly puzzled and overwhelmed at this sudden revelation. ''W-Wait a second!'' She stammered out, which one was the real one? Clearly not the one in the back, that was too obvious. No, it had to be one of the ones approaching from the front! With little to no hesitation she took a swing at one of the clones. Only instead of feeling her bat connect, she suddenly felt her momentum go the other way as she was snagged and Judo tossed.

She flinched as she prepared for impact, her hand keeping ahold of her bat even as she hit the ground. With a groan she would try to get up on her feet again, assuming Miroru was at least that merciful. Tossed around all because of rainbow powers, and during pride month no less? There was no higher honor. ''What was that all about? I thought your quirk involved manipulating light!'' She whined, giving her arm a small rub. Even though she was whining, she also couldn't help but smile. ''T-That technique won't work a second time! You 'bat'ter get ready for the bat!'' She called out boldly, pointing her bat at her friend.

What kind of advanced strategy would the quirkless girl employ? What kind of scheme would she hatch?

Raise her voice and charge right at Miroru accompanied by her battle cry.

Yeah, it wasn't flashy, but it worked occasionally!

Once she got within range, Freja would take a swing at Miroru's shoulder, trying to get back at the other girl with a strike that very clearly wouldn't hurt... Wait, was she holding back and not hitting her with all her force? Talk about ironic.

Didn't that make her a massive hypocrite for requesting Miroru to not hold back?

But then again... Miroru didn't bully her, Miroru listened to her story, even shared a vulnerable fact about her own past too.

How could she hit someone like that with all she had?

"There is no waiting on the battlefield! EXCEPT WHEN THERE IS! BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!" Miroru shouted from the crowd of images, still hidden and suppressing the urge to giggle at Freja's wild swings as she released the illusions and reappeared.

"This IS light! Illusions! Invisibility! The throw counts, too, cuz I was tossing around a lightweight opponent! Get it? ... cuz light?"

At that weak swing, though, Miroru frowned, lifting a hand to catch the bat mid-swing. "Hey. You're not taking me seriously. That was like a kindergarten whiffle ball swing. I KNOW you can do better. This is what you DO. And you made it into UA. Come on," Miroru said, dropping into what was obviously an extremely practiced combat stance. "Fight me like you mean it-

-or I'm SO gonna kick your ass, Freja-chan!"

This...

This was light? Light could do all this? Freja would have never guessed a power that sounded so limiting could actually be used in so many different ways. Sure, it wasn't like Miroru was hulking up or anything like that, but this was plenty super. If anything, it only highlighted how ingenious Miroru was, to think of all these different ways to use light. To even know about them in the first place, she must have done extensive research into it. It was admirable. Freja wanted to do something like that too, find a way to apply herself and use her situation to her advantage.

Did Miroru care that she was given a 'weak' light power? No, she found a way to make it strong.

''Hah..'' She couldn't help but crack a smile at the pun as she recovered from the throw. ''You better not take your opponent too 'lightly'!'' She was surprised when Miroru caught her bat mid-swing. ''Huh?! B-But...'' She didn't want to hurt Miroru. If it was one of her bullies, yeah, absolutely no mercy, but this was Miroru. ''Fine!'' She took a deep breath as she steeled her mind. She didn't want to hurt Miroru, but what if she wasn't facing Miroru? What if she was facing the guy that broke her heart?

Or the villain that killed her and her sister?

Miroru's practiced combat stance was intimidating to say the least, but Freja wasn't just some newbie either! That's it. Don't think of this like a sparring match, this is a street brawl. Miroru is a member of a rival gang who wants to teach you a lesson, but you aren't just going to stand around and take it. ''I'm not gonna let you!'' Oh but Freja was 100% gonna get her ass kicked, but not without a fight!

Spinning her bat around her without even so much as glancing down at what she was doing, Freja leapt forward, faster, stronger this time. She wasn't particularly fit, at least not that much more than your average person, but there was no denying her technique. This time she swung for Miroru's face, trying to bait her to guard or dodge her attack. Except what Freja was seeing wasn't Miroru's face, it was a stranger. A distant stranger, far removed from her new life in Japan, who she still hated with every fiber of her being.

"If only you were throwing out hits as strong as your pun game, Batricia! Batamanjaro!" Miroru tossed out dumb names one after another, having fun with her friend as they fought. Still, she interrupted that swing, and things got a bit more serious. "Oh yeah?! THEN STOP ME, BATRACADABRA!"

Miroru was forced back with a startled look as the bat carved through the air in front of her face, her expression shifting to a delighted, determined grin as the fight took on a real note! The blow damn near caught her, but Miroru was FAST. That was her biggest edge, really, along with generally high conditioning all over. The bat helped to edge out that advantage, but Miroru's speed also let her dart inside its reach, letting her execute quick little combos to get too close to let the leverage the bat used to create power work against her, deliver quick, light strikes, and dance back before Freja could recover from her swings! It DID put her right in close, though, so if Freja went for any unexpected close quarters strikes, she was likely to land a hit or two herself before Miroru backed off!

Freja couldn’t fight the laughter anymore and let out a quick chuckle at being called Batricia Batamanjaro. “H-Hey! Is making me laugh part of your plan too?” She smiled, it was a strategy so crazy it might even work. “You’re so damn fast.” She panted, smirking as Miroru stepped back and dodged her bat. “What’s your secret, Miroru?”

Too fast, way too fast for Freja to keep up. She might as well have been trying to swat a fly with her bat. That's how impossible hitting her friend felt. No, if she wanted to stay in it, she couldn’t let things go on like this. She tended up as she took the light strikes. They weren’t devastating or anything, but if she took too many of these she would easily go down before Miroru. Which was why the next time Miroru moved in, Freja let go of her bat mid-swing and threw her arms out, attempting to catch Miroru in a hug and wrestle her to the ground. “Gotcha!” How big of a role would speed play if they were both downed? Freja had to try, it seemed like the best way forward even if she had to relinquish her bat.

"I dunno! Is it? IS IT, LITTLE MISS BATRACADABRA?!" Miroru yowled back, grinning as they clashed, shrugging at the question before bobbing back into reach. "My secret~?" Miroru darted close and threw an open-palm strike at Freja's tummy! "One hundred sit ups! One hundred pushups! One hundred squats! And a ten kilometer run, every day!"

She was pretty sure that was a reference. That made her cool, right?

The next time she darted in, though, Freja grabbed her and tackled her to the ground! "WAH! CHEAT! SCOUNDREL! RAPSCALLION!" Miroru yowled as she was tackled to the ground- only to twist and buck Freja up and off her, onto her back, as Miroru followed and threw her legs around Freja's neck, grabbing one of her arms to pinion it and try to get her friend to submit!

''You're calling ME little?!'' She chuckled. She hadn't expected their sparring match to take a turn like this. Freja couldn't remember the last time she actually smiled while facing off against someone else. She felt the air get knocked out of her as Miroru struck her in the tummy, but she wasn't mad. She wasn't frustrated or angry that she was slow, she was genuinely having fun. ''That's ridiculous! TEN kilometers??'' She asked, panting as she took a moment to catch her breath.

''People have called me worse!'' She grinned triumphantly with her arms around Miroru. How fast could the fox girl move when they were on the ground? Pretty fast it turned out. With a thud Freja was thrown onto her back, all too slow to act as Miroru forced her into a submission maneuver. ''Wh-What are you a pro wrestler?'' She said through gritted teeth, clearly trying to withstand the pain and think of a way to get out. In the end, she unfortunately had to submit. As much as she liked sparring with Miroru like this, Freja simply wasn't strong enough to keep up. At least not yet. Was it ridiculous for her to think that one day she might pose a serious challenge to Miroru? ''You got me..'' She was still panting and would roll onto her back once Miroru wasn't holding her down anymore. ''I'm beat, anymore and my muscles will turn into jelly.''

''You're pretty strong.'' She looked over at Miroru, giving her a tired smirk. ''Thank you for wanting to fight me. And... I'm sorry for saying those stupid things earlier.''

"I mean... not LITERALLY small..." Miroru admitted, grinning right back- and laughing all over again at the shock! "Okay maybe not ALL that, but it SOUNDS great, doesn't it?!"

"Not- a pro- but- a... capture specialist! Stole... useful stuff... from lots of styles..!" Miroru panted between little grunts as she fights to get Freja to submit- finally succeeding and relaxing immediately after! "WHOOOF. You're a tough cookie..! And if that's the case... maybe... we should keep going...

I like jelly..!"

She snickered, and rolled to look at Freja, shaking her head. "Eh. Fast. Good moves. Not really strong. I'm working on it though. Gotta get some muscle on these li'l bones!" She swatted Freja's shoulder lightly at the apology. "It's okay. Really. I know you. You don't mean to be mean or anything. All I need from you- is for you to keep getting stronger so we can be proper rivals!"

She flopped back, though, heaving a sigh before rolling to her feet and offering Freja a hand up to leave the sparring circle for the next pair. "But later.

Much... much later!"
