[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Another day spent atop Farrin's grassy hill at the back of UAU's training fields. Sada had a few back-to-back classes while Farrin was free for a few hours. Free time without Sada meant time spent training. The gravelly training fields and running tracks were awash with enthusiasm and energy. Students honing their bodies, skills, and abilities. Good. They would need it. There was a definitive lack of challenge from most of the time-turner's peers.
The freshman dropped from his standing position onto his butt, sitting now, watching over the fields. Sweat rolled down from his mane over his brow and neck. He didn't need a sparring or workout partner to work up a sweat. Roiled Power pushed through the air with his every punch just a few moments prior. He had earned himself a short break.
A welcome breeze kicked up, whisking away a few beads of sweat and casting them into the grass. Food. That's what he was missing. Some food. His hunger was confirmed by the comical growl of his stomach. Yup, maybe it was time to go grab something to snack on?
"Eh, yeah, 'bout that time, isn't it?" He said, digging out his pocket watch.
Half past three. He could do with some lunch. It could wait another minute though. As much as his stomach growled, his legs protested against the thought of movement. So, he sat, watching the training field.

Post by Natsumi Taiyou on Jun 13, 2023 6:53:05 GMT
On a near perfect day, from the warm air to the green hue of the grass down to the perfectly timed and well-welcome breeze, Natsumi was preparing for another day of self-led training. With a rather large water bottle in comparison to her own size gym uniform, she would do her best to remember the stretches she had learned from another student who had taken her under his wing for a time. Her stretches were slow and deliberate to make sure she wouldn’t hurt herself as she prepared for her typical training run, a routine she had developed as a way to not only keep her active but to engage with others. As she finished her stretch, she would wave to other students who would also be exercising and would cheerfully stop and have small conversations with Natsumi before returning to their own exercises.
Popularity was something that had to be constantly maintained, much like fitness, and she wouldn’t allow herself to be so easily forgotten by her fellow students. After all, with her ambitions of becoming the class president as well as the next number one hero, she would need to hone her skills. A warm smile would be on her face as she would begin to run at a steady pace around the track. She wouldn’t necessarily be so focused on her speed as much as her form and overall endurance, but her speed was still nothing to scoff at. It didn’t take much time for one lap around the track to become two and two to become four until she had worked up a bit of a sweat.
Coming to a stop, she would wipe the sweat from her brow, still smiling, as she would take a few big gulps of water from her bottle, pausing to not only catch her breath but also to take in the scenery of the training ground. While looking, she saw someone she hadn't seen before—a rather tall student. Much taller than herself, which wasn’t much of a feat but was still imposing none the less. She couldn’t quite tell if she had ever introduced herself to him. But the campus was large—even larger when you were quite as small as Natsumi.
Making her way over to him, she would take a seat on the grass nearby. Taking another drink from her water bottle before giving him a warm smile and talking.
"Hiya, I’m Natsumi; nice to meet you!"

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Farrin's eyes traced the girl on approach. Another of his peers willingly crossing the line of demarcation. It was one drawn by word of his trouncing those bullies from orientation. Ever since that little scuffle, only a small handful of his classmates dared to enter his grassy domain. One would think his victory over their ilk would draw the student body closer, but maybe he had frightened them. It wasn't worth the time and thought he was putting into it. A few exceptions aside, he preferred his own company.
"Farrin, Farrin O'Rourke," he offered.
Yeah, he preferred his own company but the time-turner wasn't rude. Besides, he'd been pressed by his most important person and Barty to engage with others more, and he had been doing a damn good job at it. His head scanned the field from left to right, then returned to Natsumi.
"What brings yuh' up 'ere? Most o' our class seem ta' prefer the fields below."
His grassy hill was far more ideal. A green cushion to catch any fall and to support his calisthenics. It was far preferable to the gravely terrain of the rest of the training grounds. Why the school opted for gravel where people worked out was beyond him. But then, there was a lot he didn't understand about his peers still. Again, like why so many would avoid someone who could so clearly teach them something. There were a few, like Miroru, who showed up most days to spar with the time-turner. Clearly she was one of the smart ones. How about this Natsumi? Was she after anything? Or just oddly friendly?

Meeting another student was always something that Natsumi could find herself looking forward to. Her ears would seem to perk up as she heard his name. His last name was rather foreign, but it did seem to remind her of a small mistake she had made in her own introduction: her last name. She would also recall hearing about an altercation evolving with Farrin, which explained why he was on this island-like patch of grass alone.
"Oh! Taiyou. Natsumi Taiyou."
She would quickly correct her mistake before taking another sip of water and fully stretching out her legs, getting a bit more comfortable. With Natsumi beginning her life as a political child, she found herself being much more social than most of her classmates. Her smile still warm, she would turn her attention out to the rest of the track, watching the others who had also decided to take advantage of the nice weather for a bit of outdoor training. A small moment of silence passed between the duo before Farrin asked a question of his own. It was enough to pry free a small chuckle as she thought of how childish her answer would seem.
"I just wanted someone new to talk to and I figured the view from here was probably pretty nice too!"
Taking a small pause, she would peek over to Farrin.
"Plus, it had to be boring sitting here by yourself."

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Nice ta' meet yuh, Natsumi Taiyou," he replied once she gave her full name. She was friendlier than most of their classmates. Even among the group of black sheep, he seemed to be collecting, only a few were outwardly nice. Most were respectful but reclusive. Distant. Sada was the warmest of the warm, but he couldn't hold everyone to such unsurmountable standards. Besides, she'd never admit she was nice. This Natsumi though, at first glance at least, seemed a decent sort.
"Tis' quite a view, can't deny that."
Of course, Farrin's insights were built upon the tactical advantage of such height and sight lines before the aesthetic appeal. The former was built into his bones now. Still, the latter was undeniable. The grassy hill cut just short of the closest sparring circle, which stretched on to the next and the next. Beyond that was the running track, the bleachers, and on each side of the field a training facility. Further out there was UA's main lecture hall and building, and off on the opposite end were the dorms. Life at UA, all visible from his grassy hill.
"Eh, I was trainin' just a bit ago. Decided it was time fer a short break." His stomach growled as if intentionally interrupting him. "N' probably gonna grab a bite soon."
Ruby eyes ran over the fields, watching as two students took up that sparring arena closest to the hill. It basically gravel with a few white lines painted around it to create a visible perimeter. Each sparring arena was rather large, likely to account for the potential areas of effect several quirks possessed. Luckily, it appeared neither of the combatants had particularly explosive abilities this time. One's fists set ablaze and the other emitted some sort of goo from their mouth. Wouldn't be fun to be caught in that.
"So what department yuh' in, Natsumi? Heroics? Support? One o' the others?"
Small talk was a bore, but proper engagement required knowing one's goals. Was she another among the school's ranks striving to be the world's greatest hero? Or was she an inventor trying to change society for the better through less direct means than criminal intervention? Both were noble goals, as were most of the other departments, but which department one was enrolled in told much of their story.

Her smile would widen a bit as Farrin would repeat her whole name, exchanging pleasantries. In response, she would lightly nod her head, giving a hum of approval. Before turning her attention back to the rest of the training grounds. Yet another warm breeze would push past as Natsumi would let out a sigh of relief before taking a deep breath. Something about being slightly elevated on such a wonderful day would make the air quality seem so much more pure, although with the pollen, she was certain that it was all in her imagination. From their small interaction, she was starting to believe less and less that Farrin was responsible for the aforementioned altercation she had heard about.
As Farrin spoke again, Natsumi would set her bottle off to the side, hugging her knees close to her chest as she took in the scenery from the hill for its beauty alone instead of its tactical position. With her smaller stature, she wouldn’t be able to take in as much of the campus as Farrin could, but she was still content with what she could manage to see. Unknown to her, they would seem to be near complete opposites in their initial thoughts, one geared towards tactics and the other more interested in the beauty of the world around them, possibly in part due to their upbringings. With a bit more time passing, she had finally managed to fully cool off from her run.
It would appear that not only herself but a few other classmates had also decided to take advantage of the nice weather to get a bit of practice outside. Although it seemed some had worked a bit harder than others, his stomach growled, audible enough to cause Natsumi to laugh and chuckle again, though she was sure that given her own training, the rumbling of her stomach would eventually follow suit.
"Mind if I tag along?"
She would ask, admittedly a bit more curiously, about her classmate. Natsumi could understand his aversion to being around others after the incident but not why others seemed to steer clear of him; had it all just been a misunderstanding created through gossip? She didn’t find him frightening at all when compared to some of the others in this class; actually, quite the opposite. With the sudden burst of flames engulfing a student's fist, her eyes couldn’t help but be drawn to it as she would slightly lean in in anticipation. It wasn’t that she enjoyed fighting; she enjoyed analyzing others fights. Through her own training, she had based her combat style around exploiting others weaknesses and gaps in their defenses to bring the fight to an end, and it always helped to see potential opponents in action.
After a few moments of watching them spar, she would seem to lean back, returning to her lax posture, letting out a bit of a sigh of disapproval.
"He’s leaving his right side open."
She would mutter calmly to herself. A large yet easily correctable error. Natsumi would turn her attention away from the spar fully as he asked another question, to which she would grin widely before responding.
"Heroics, you’re looking at the future number one hero, Sprite! I’m guessing you’re in the heroics class too, right?"
She was confident, or at least that was the guise that she showed. After her answer, she would let out a light hum, as if thinking. She felt as if the conversation was one-sided and decided to ask a few questions of her own in return.
"My turn! Your last name seems foreign; did you move to Japan or were you born here?"

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] I won't stop yuh'," he started, watching the sparring match unfold for a few moments before continuing, "me partner n' the others I kinda know 'round 'ere have classes fer' a bit still. Wouldn't mind some company." Once it became clear Natsumi knew her way around a scrap, Farrin's interest shot up. The girl had just earned herself a few points in his book. Unlike her, however, Farrin was wholly invested in a good fight - so long as nobody was truly in danger. He sought to master the art of the scrap.
Natsumi was right, though. Goo-for-spit launched his gurgling green projectile from center to left, limiting fire-fist's options, but it did in fact leave the former's right exposed. Fire-fists closed the distance and landed the first meaningful blow of the match, launching his opponent toward the edge of the arena.
"Yeah, if I were a bettin' man, my money would be on ol' fire-fists. Far more disciplined."
It was a rather tame match. Once spit-for-goo got up, both combatants approached the center of the arena to start from a neutral position. A real fight lacked such allowances and consideration. Still, it gave goo-for-spit another chance at keeping distance. In a real fight, fire-fists could have closed the distance while his enemy was down and unloaded on him. That would've ended things rather quickly.
"Right yuh' are. Guess yer lookin' at yer' competition then, because Oberon," he didn't say the name out loud often. Despite his success, had he truly earned it yet? "Will be no' only the nation's but the world's number one hero."
Hunger was warring with his interest in the match still. Goo-for-spit was performing far better in round two. A line of defense had been spat around him. Whether that goo was acidic, adhesive, or poisonous, Farrin didn't know, but it was clear fire-fists wasn't trying to find out. Who could blame him? Still, defensive strategies always lost to offense eventually. Could be now, could be some time down the line, but offensive techniques and technologies always took the day.
"Moved ta' Japan about four years ago," he answered, still eyeing the match. "Spent me' first year gettin' accustom ta' the place, then the followin' three in a Hero Prep school. Now I'm 'ere. How 'bout yerself? How'd yuh find yerself attendin' one o' the world's greatest hero universities?"

Farrin’s accent was quite noticeable to Natsumi as well, but it was one that she couldn’t place. As he spoke again to tell her he wouldn’t mind the company, she found herself much more focused on his words than their actual meaning. At his mention of a partner, she knew what her next question would be, although it was likely that she had completely misunderstood what he meant by "partner," as she pictured his perfect opposite to make up for his faults in crime fighting. As she readied to ask, her eyes would be drawn back to Spar as Farrin made an observation. A small pause as she watched intently. It would seem that the strike on the goopy combatant was enough for him to realize his mistake, if only for a moment. But the fire-fisted student had made a mistake of his own by not finishing the fight with one blow.
"A cornered opponent is desperate, and that makes him dangerous."
Although Farrin would lean towards the firefist winning the bout, she was a bit skeptical. He had given the goopy student a chance to fight back, and even if the strike had made him decide to fight much more defensively, there was always the possibility that he could counter. The spar had certainly become a bit more interesting, enough to keep Natsumi's attention now, if only for a bit longer. As they both watched, Farrin would respond to her comment about being the future's number one hero. It was enough to keep her smile on her face. For her, the thought of rivalry between students is what pushed them to become better, and she wouldn't shy away from a challenge; she couldn't, even though his dreams were much larger than just Japan.
"Well, you're going to have tough competition!"
The goopy student had decided to make a circle around him, which would make Natsumi lean in again, anticipation building to see if he could manage to secure a win or even a first strike of his own. Just as she had expected, he was a foreigner who had come to learn to be a hero. The move alone to a new place was something that she herself found to be a sign of courage—leaving everything you know behind in pursuit of your future. His question came next: what led her to the hero school? It was a rather long story that she would try her best to sum up.
"Born and raised in Japan. My parents are politicians, and I was probably primed to follow after them. But they got a superhero to show up to one of my birthday parties, and I fell in love with the idea of helping people in a different way than my parents."

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] It was one of the jungle's many laws. A cornered cat is the most dangerous. True, but Farrin's remained confident in fire-fists. Ferocity was powerful but cumbersome. Unwieldly. Discipline, however, was a most reliable tool. Guaranteed to get results in most situations. Desperation grew from fear, and fear was a distraction. One more enemy to contend with in the middle of a bout. Discipline was fear's enemy. It kept the beast caged and assured its wielder could act with precision and confidence. Just as fire-fists would.
Fire-fists broke left and sprinted toward the ring of goo. He leaped into a cartwheel over the green muck, and when his hands were just about to make contact with the ground, the flames erupted, giving him just enough propulsion to cross the distance unscathed and land within goo-for-spit's defensive line. It was close quarters again, and that's where fire-fists shined. He threw a right jab and caught goo-for-spit once again, knocking the student to the ground. Another point in his favor.
"He needs ta' think quicker on his feet. Distance doesn't guarantee safety."
Tough competition? He wouldn't have it any other way. There was a reason he challenged both Leonid and Dauntless, some of UAU's strongest pro-hero professors, in his first week. There were few else with which to take his measure. Though he had lost on both accounts, each professor was forced to fight for their win. He wouldn't have anyone, not even UAU's grand educators, outpacing him with the wheels on. That was week one. Where would he be a year from now?
"Wouldn't have it any other way," he shot back.
Natsumi's story was in some ways similar to his own. There was a definitive lack of homelessness and she didn't pose one of her parents as entirely batshite crazy, but there was a parental call to a greater purpose.
"So yuh' dun' belong ta' the trauma club?" He joked. Kind of. How many students in UAU, including himself, were also here due to unresolved trauma they felt they could only compensate for by fighting for others? Bet you could count the students without some sort of loss on a single hand. "On a more serious note, I guess me' story is a little similar. Me Mum was a hero back home. Kinda followin' in her footsteps, tryin' ta' do right by people."
There was more to it than that, but he was sure Natsumi was being a little light on the details of her own story as well. How many out there were so quick to spill the spoilers of all their story's pages? Not many.

Post by Natsumi Taiyou on Jun 20, 2023 6:01:42 GMT
Natsumi found herself focusing more and more on the fight, leaning in, and finding herself becoming just a tad fixated. She wondered about the exact use of the goop, as the circle he had created around himself seemed to be a way to draw in his enemy. With the flame-fist student quickly running towards the goo-circled student, she would feel a sudden build of excitement. His movements were precise, which she fully attributed to his discipline, as those movements had probably been practiced for days on end.
As he crossed over the circle, he fully expected to see the totality of the goo’s student quirk, assuming they would somehow manage to land a surprise strike, only to see them not only allow the first student to cross the circle but also land another blow, making their total of two strikes unanswered. Another sigh would escape her lips as she was beginning to think that the goo-spitting student had been using his quirk incorrectly; possibly using it to counter and overwhelm the fire-fist student would be the best option. She would pause as Farrin would make his comment, which she couldn’t help but agree with. His slower thinking would be his downfall if he couldn’t figure out a better strategy.
"His quirk doesn’t seem too offensive, so he should try a different approach. Maybe trying to use his quirk more defensively to impede his opponent’s movement more like a counterattack."
Her eyes would seem to quickly scan over the duo as their spar would continue, her observation stopping for a moment to give Farrin a warm smile as he mentioned not only the welcome of her competition to be the number one hero but her slight traumatic backstory. After all, it wasn’t every day that a child would go against the wishes of their parents and actively put themselves in harm's way, something she was sure her parents wanted to know. But her life was her own, and the world didn’t need more politicians right now; it needed defenders, and she would lobby in stuffy rooms when she had reached a ripe old age and decided to retire from hero work.
As Farrin told a bit of his own story, Natsumi’s question about his partner and what they were like quickly faded away as she began to wonder about his mother. It was an often-occurring occurrence for her to sit and wonder what it would have been like had her parents been heroes instead of politicians. Would they still have the drive for her to lean into politics? Or would they have understood her desire to be a hero? Or perhaps with a different outlook on seeing her parents come home tired and possibly broken after putting their lives on the line night after night, she would have grown to despise the hero society for constantly putting her family in danger. But something he said seemed to ring over and over in her ear—a small word that would make her feel as though there was a lump in her throat, she just couldn’t get rid of.
"Your mom. Is she still?"
Pausing a bit at the end to insinuate if his mother has simply retired from her time as a hero or if she has been taken from him.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Farrin nodded along with Natsumi's updated assessment. That was precisely goo-boy's problem. He was just letting Fire-fists act without repercussion. Whether that goo was acidic or adhesive didn't matter if it never touched the opponent. He needed to draw a series of rings or something, to force Fire-fists to jump several times, then catch him in the air where he couldn't redirect his movement. It was his best bet, he just wasn't seeing it. Perhaps he was caught up in his own head, getting in his own way? It happened often. Those uninitiated in combat watched a more experienced opponent move, and froze up, telling themselves it wasn't fair or that the fight was impossible. You had to break through that negative self-talk, or you would learn nothing.
Then Natsumi asked about his mother. She was his kryponite in a way. Farrin loved bragging about his Mum. She was one of the fastest heroes out there, but her passing was also a source of immeasurable pain. Pain he didn't much like to talk about except with Sada. Still, mama O'Rourke hadn't raised a liar.
"Nah. She went down swingin' though. Died makin' sure an incredibly powerful n' malicious villain was put behind bars," he managed with a smile, proud of her even still.
Proud because the villain she had apprehended was none other than his father, her husband, who possessed a quirk nearly unrivaled in strength, but there was no lie in leaving that little detail out. That secret belonged to him and only an extremely small handful of others. That fecker was a hero too, but he had turned for reasons Farrin didn't understand even still, and it was up to ol' Mum to take him down. She did, but not before he killed countless heroes and civilians, her included. Together though, they had worn him out, and the last few heroes of that battle managed to take him down. Good riddance to that bastard.
"I dun' think ol' goo-spit is changin' his act anytime soon. C'mon, let's grab a bite."

Natsumi would only feel the lump in her throat grow even bigger when her question was answered. A hero who laid down her life in battle to protect the innocent had a large chance for any pro-hero’s journey to end that way. She would assume that it was one of the reasons behind her parents apprehension about her choosing the path of a hero, as she could only imagine the feeling of dread that would be brought over them by seeing their only child fall in battle. And even if she swore to herself she wouldn’t fall, in the end, that decision wasn’t up to her; it was up to fate and what it had in store for her. Her knees still hugged close to her chest, and her grip would tighten a bit as her warm smile would be dimmed with thoughts before she looked over to Farrin to see a brave smile on his face. From his smile, she could tell he was proud of his mother, so much so that even knowing the dangers firsthand, he still decided to follow in her footsteps.
"I’m sorry. She sounds like she was really amazing."
The only words she could muster in such a situation In comparison to Farrin, her trauma seemed almost nonexistent. There was a bit of silence between the duo, as even though he smiled, she felt as if his answer, which she had expected, had darkened the tone of their chat as they continued to watch the growingly obvious one-sided fight. The fight was far enough away that the winner could be easily seen unless the goofy student decided to switch tactics, but with their stubborn behavior, it seemed highly unlikely. It didn’t take long for Farrin to decide his hunger had become too much to bear, opting that they grab something to eat as, from both their perspectives, the fight had already ended. Natsumi would nod in response as she spoke.
"I hoped he would have at least landed one strike, but I guess it won’t happ-."
Natsumi’s stomach would make an audible grumbling sound, interrupting her sentence. Her face turned bright red in embarrassment as she forced a smile.
"Yeah, getting something to eat now sounds good."

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] She was. fastest hero I know of," he couldn't say fastest in the world. He wasn't aware of every hero that populated the planet, but she was certainly up there. Even his remarkable speed paled in comparison to Morgana, The Crimson Light's aka his Mum's. He'd be that fast one day. He had to be.
"Happened quite some years ago now though, so just keep lookin' forward n' all that."
Spit-for-goo and Fist-fists returned to their starting positions again. Whether or not the goo-boy finally landed a blow on the fire starter would remain unknown. Judging by the growl of Natsumi's stomach, she was growing just as hungry as he was. That meant it was time to grab a bite.
"Eh, he'll learn or he'll leave. Guess we'll see in time, let's head ta' the cafeteria," Farrin stood, dusting himself off, then offering Natsumi a hand to help her up.
Whether or not she took it, he'd start off down the hill and make for the path that led to the campus's interior, toward the main building. That's where the cafeteria could be found. There were smaller kitchens in each of the dorm buildings, but they paled in comparison to the university's true offerings. Farrin was a sucker for all the breakfast food, the chicken parm, and the variety of desserts. Now that his Mum wouldn't have approved of. In his defense, Farrin usually opted for nutritious meals that supported his extreme workout regimen, but there were occasions where one cheat meal became breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His stomach was ready to sing a chorus at the very thought.
"So how're yuh' findin' campus life?" He'd ask as they made their way to the cafeteria, "likin' e'erythin so far? They're definitely better equipped than the Hero Prep school I attended. Gotta give 'em that much."

With a small reply, he would shed a bit of light on what her quirk was and, potentially, a bit about his own speed. The question about his quirk would go unasked as Natsumi herself often omitted things about her own; she never knew who she would have to face off against for training and found it rather nice to have the element of surprise combined with an underestimation factor that most people had in regards to her combat ability. It was in his past, and his intentions were only to move forward, a noble way to deal with the loss while honoring his mother. Natsumi would give a light head nod in agreement with his statement.
The two sparring students would return to their starting positions, leaving Natsumi with the hope that the goofy combatant would learn from his early mistakes, but they wouldn’t stay and find out.
"I hope he learns. It would be a shame for anyone to give up on their dreams."
Natsumi would respond as Farrin would stand up and offer his hand to help her up, which would also include taking the time to brush a few stray strands of grass and dirt from her clothing. Heading down the hill, they would follow the path to the university’s cafeteria, and although they held a large variety of food, Natsumi was still a very planned and boring person when it came to her choices. Salads with varying amounts of protein, fruits, and, depending on the day, the occasional dessert to spoil herself As they walked, the duo continued to talk, with the topic now switching to something much less gloomy than the one prior: adjusting to life on the academy campus.
"It’s actually been pretty fun. Everything is so nice and well maintained here. It did take a bit of getting used to being away from home, though."
She would respond with a lighthearted laugh. Her parents were at times a bit overbearing, and even when out, they would make the time to contact her every few hours or so. But this wasn’t to say that they had stopped their check-ins; just the frequency of them had been greatly lowered to the exchange of text messages and a weekly video call. Natsumi herself had never gone to her prep school and received her training prior to taking the exam from a private tutor in the form of a pro hero, but she had overheard a few people talk about it.
"What about you? I assume the campus has to be a lot bigger than the prep school too, right?"

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] It was a sentiment with which Farrin fully agreed. Pursuing one's passions and ambitions was one of life's greatest purposes. That and family, by blood and otherwise, were the two most important facets of this journey all living beings went through. Hopefully, rather than fall on his flawed instincts, goo-boy would take the time to think things through and adjust. Adapt to the situation, and hopefully walk away with the satisfaction of having landed a blow against what appeared to be a superior opponent.
Moving beyond the training fields though, partway between the hill and the campus's main building, Farrin nodded along in response to Natsumi's experience with the university so far. Yeah, being away from home wasn't easy. Granted, Farrin didn't have much of a home after his mother passed, but New York in its entirety had become his home. Being plucked up and dropped off in a country he'd never been to before where everyone spoke a different language required quite the adjustment.
"Aye, I can understand that." Perhaps his views weren't framed by bubbly sentiment, but UAU was definitely well-maintained and, again, he understood the adjustment it required. "Yeah, Hero Prep was a lil' like this, but far, far smaller. Even partakin' in combat simulations was a big deal, but 'ere it's the norm. E'eryday we're scrappin' wit' robots n' all sorts o' challenges. Definitely a step up from me' prior education."
The Above & Beyond hero agency that functionally acted as Farrin's guardians in Japan, and had helped train him as well, had equipment akin to that of UAU, but it was far smaller in scale. Even in their massive basement, they could only fit so much by comparison to the even more massive campus of UAU.
"How 'bout trainin'? Had ta' have some formal practice before the entrance exams, right?"
She already knew something of his heroic training roots. Though Natsumi lacked parents that partook in heroics, as politicians, he had to imagine she had access to some decent resources, even if only monetarily. Nobody really threw themselves at the exams with zero training. You had to have some sort of experience under your belt to make it into UAU.
