Teaming up with Ylva, Misaki and Junsuina? Sometimes she really did feel like she had somehow offended the principal of the school personally, and this was their way of getting back at her. All of her teammates were problems in their own right, some more than others. Since this whole exercise was based on trust she knew she was shit out of luck. Ylva wanted to win and become a strong hero, she knew that much, but there was also no guarantee she wouldn't throw this exercise just to get back at her. Misaki was an absolute menace if her personality bled into her hero persona, a true wildcard. Jun she wasn't all too familiar with herself, but she knew the girl was trouble in her own way. It was clear as day, she was surrounded by idiots on all sides. ''If we cannot simply throw the potato, then it would be beneficial for us to stick together and communicate closely. While I do not know what the obstacle course up ahead has in store for us, I'd wager our quirks will be able to help us at different points along the field. So, our pattern is going to be trusting one another and reading the context of our exchange correctly. That means putting personal feelings aside and carrying our weight.'' She immediately didn't follow her own advice when she looked at Ylva and Misaki, insinuating that they were going to be the two biggest problems for their team dynamic. Crossing her arms, she continued ''That goes double for you, Riis-san. Make a mockery of this exercise if you must, but your banal and childish attempts to compromise the integrity of the games will follow you well into your prospective hero career. Or is that just another thing you don't care about?'' She took a step forward and got herself ready for the exercise. Seeing as she already felt negatively towards one of her teammates, Ylva, and she didn't count on the others either. How could she? Her family was watching, and a lot was riding on their success here today. Needless to say, things didn't look great for them. ''I have nothing else to say. Do your part for the team, or do us all a favor and forfeit right now.''junsuina, Ylva Riis, Takanashi Misaki |

She couldn't help but look concerned when the dark aura began illuminating from him, but she knew that this was a necessary step in his training. A necessary hurdle for the both of them to overcome together. ''Then use that pain.'' She smiled reassuringly, trying her best to comfort him while also posing as his opponent. ''I'll be right here to help you control it.''She was relieved that he managed to smile before thrusting her away. That told her that he at least was enjoying this to a certain degree. It was only a shame she couldn't kiss him back in the middle of the fight. Even so, the image of Enma smiling at the idea that he could cut loose would become a cherished core memory in her mind. Was there a better feeling in this world than seeing your partner happy? Despite her strength matching his, Enma was quick to push her on the defensive. Her quirk boosted her strength and durability, but the armor did nothing to make her faster. She grit her teeth as she took a jab, she wasn't hurting badly or anything, but she wasn't completely invulnerable either. She skidded back a couple of steps from the strike and took a moment to catch her breath. Was that... Did he punch her armor with his hand? ''Careful Enma-kun, I don't want you to break your hands.'' She trailed off when she looked down at his hand and noticed the dark blotches. She kept her guard up, but she hesitated to retaliate and instead checked in on him. ''Are you okay? I have never seen your quirk do that before.'' She said with a hint of concern. She was going to keep helping him with his training, but that didn't mean she couldn't worry about him at the same time, he was her boyfriend after all. ''Show me what else you can do.'' She finished with a smirk. enma |

''You are afraid, and yet you still do it.'' In many ways she was still making her armor her own too. Teaching herself new tricks and telling herself her father wasn't infallible. However, one thing he had told her was a few words of wisdom she could pass on to Enma. ''I started training my quirk from an early age. My father always used to tell me that fear is not to be looked down on. Fear is but the precursor to valor.'' She smiled warmly. ''You are not letting your fear stop you, that is worthy of praise.''In a flash of light she donned her armor. ''I want to see it too. Show me the Helsing that you want to become. Whether you felt like a monster, you will never be one to me, h-honey..'' She gave a thumbs up, trying to say it as smoothly as he did, but using such a word didn't roll off the tongue quite as naturally for her. ''I agree wholeheartedly. Paint the possibilities that you want to create with your Journey, and carve the path that only you can take with each swing of your blade.'' She wanted to kiss him, but it felt a bit awkward when they were about to spar. She could always kiss him for a job well done after the fact. ''Enma-kun.'' She suddenly looked more serious. ''I will try to knock you out or restrain you. Try to think of me as just another villain while we train.''Then once he was ready, she took off charging ahead, trying to bulldoze him down using all of her added weight and size. enma |

She almost half-giggled at Misaki calling her a flatterer, but upon being asked to keep going, even if it was jokingly, her mind went blank. ''I was not aware I had to keep going.'' She finally chuckled, rubbing the back of her own neck. ''I certainly did not mean to put down my own efforts, but what I do is a lot more repetitive. It comes down to knowledge and muscle memory, it is hardly as varied as what you have to contend with, making your repertoire all the more broad.''Misaki's joke about vibrations got another little chuckle from her. It wasn't just the joke itself, but Misaki's mannerisms that sold it. Out of Misaki, Ylva and herself, it was clear that Misaki was the born entertainer. A PR nightmare for her quirk? Misaki would win over the hearts of the public with a candid interview and no one would have any complaints anymore. ''I did?'' She looked horrified, even though she knew she had nothing to fear. Maybe it was because this was all new to her? What if her friends hated Enma and decided to stop talking to her because of it? That would make living together at the dorms all the more strained... ''I-I mean...'' She quickly tried to backpedal, but it was already too late and Misaki's smug expression made that abundantly clear. ''..Not so loud.'' She added shyly as her face turned more and more red. ''Someone is going to hear you! People are going to start talking.''''It was a normal date! Just a regular date!'' She talked from behind her hands as she continued to hide her face. A normal date indeed, totally normal with kissing and hand holding. In truth, her first date with him couldn't have been more perfect. Her only regret was that she couldn't bottle up the moment and revisit it whenever she was having a tough day. She finally peeked out from behind her hands as Misaki shrieked again. ''M-Misaki-san, your quirk! If you go any higher you're going to break a window somewhere!'' She looked at Misaki, relieved that she hadn't betrayed her friend by not saying anything sooner. However, that relief was quickly replaced with another look of abject horror as she realized she wanted details. ''Details? That is a lot of questions..'' She protested, but she was going to do her best. ''Do you know Arashi Enma from the hero course?'' She took out her phone and tapped the display gently, before turning it towards Misaki. Her background was a picture she had taken of Enma sitting across from her at a restaurant. ''He is passionate like a storm, but also gentle on the inside.'' She held a hand over her own heart. ''He has a warrior's mind, but the heart of an artist. We met by chance when I asked him for his thoughts on my latest blueprint. As it turns out, his family has an extensive history of training with swords.'' She was already starting to struggle. ''Uh, I'm not sure exactly why I fell in love with him... I suppose it's a feeling?'' She shrugged. ''When he's around it makes me feel at ease. He can make me laugh and he doesn't even have to try. Did I mention that he paints? He painted me a portrait, it is back at my room, I can show you after practice.''Oh, right, they were here to practice super moves. ''A-Anyway,'' she stood up and dusted herself off even if she didn't need to. ''How about we get to training? If you want me to I can keep going, but I would rather you get something out of this instead of listening to me talk until the Sun goes down.''Takanashi Misaki |

''Kanjo-san, I do not mean to speak out of turn, but you are pretty in your own right. I am no fashionista, but if you ever feel like you want to put a little more effort into your appearance, not for anyone else just yourself, you can always come to my dorm.'' She offered with a smile, hoping that she could help Jun as much as she had helped her. ''I fully get your sentiment. My quirk may not be as...'' She searched for the word for a moment. ''...Thorough when it comes to tuning into my emotions, but I am not the most emotionally communicative person. However, I do believe your emotions is a big part of what makes you who you are.''She blinked her eyes at Jun's mention of Auden. ''Auden Verchetty?'' Just as she asked Jun the clarification hit her. Of course, Auden's modeling agency, that was Rising Phoenix wasn't it? ''Kanjo-san, this probably sounds hypocritical coming from me, but do remember that it is okay to take a break every now and then. Overworking yourself makes you more prone to becoming sick, which in turn means you would miss out on your curricular duties as a student.'' She communicated it a bit stiffly, but what she was trying to say was that she cared about Jun and would hate to see her take on too much work. ''Hardly.'' She smirked, ''I work on all sorts of bladed weaponry. Swords, daggers, axes, spears, chakrams and so on. The Ando family is highly skilled in the crafting and forging of weapons. I believe this is because our quirk is armor, but my father was the first in the family to elevate the family business because he brought his weapons with him on hero patrols.'' She realized she had rambled for a bit and quickly added. ''Why, is there anything else I can do for you, Kanjo-san?''junsuina |

His compliment of her body only made her blush deeper. ''I-I mean, I can be stronger, faster..'' She added sheepishly. If his intention was to make her flustered with his cheeky answer then he had certainly succeeded. ''Something cute?'' She blinked her eyes at him, thinking back to the piece he painted for her. It was the only reference she could think of where Inkheart looked especially cute, but it could not have prepared her for what he did next. ''It's... a cat.'' She stood there in awe looking at the little armored Pusheen. Was that her Paragon armor? She felt so delighted she couldn't help but let out a little chuckle. ''It's cute, you're full of surprises, Enma-kun!'' She related all too much to the fact that his father had taught him. Arashi Sr. had taught him the basics, but to truly make the quirk his own he needed to explore it more thoroughly and do with it exactly what he wanted to do, not what someone else had told him to. ''I see.'' She gave a relieved smile, glad that she could be of help to him. ''You don't have to worry about me, my armor is as sturdy as they come.'' Was he still worried about harming her? She had to admit, the first time they sparred she couldn't help but feel a little scared, but that was because she didn't realize just how weak she was, just how much unexplored potential she had yet to tap into. Enma on the other hand was a sparkling gemstone, a diamond dazzling, and dancing with a multi-colored gleam. He wasn't just a born fighter, he was a warrior who had worked hard to get where he was. It was so awe-inspiring it helped her get over herself and find new ways to train her body and mind. ''Enma-kun.'' She smiled back at him, hoping she wasn't getting too sappy. ''I'm proud of you. You've come a long way with letting others see your power.'' She still felt it needed to be said. He deserved to know when he was being amazing after all. ''It reacts to your feelings? If you tap into your emotions, can you feel your quirk intensifying? That is where I would start. My armor responds to my well-being, but the trigger is love. Love drives me to want to protect.'' Protect her cute boyfriend who won her heart all over again every time she saw him. ''For instance, if I think about wanting to protect you and your cute drawings, activating my quirk is no issue at all.'' She walked a little closer to him, realizing they weren't going to jump right into training. ''The best advice I can give is to use your quirk as much as possible. Don't just feel familiar with activating it, but having it active too. Only once you are fully immersed in your power can you hope to push the right button to amplify it. To make your power your own, you need to use it so much that you get sick of it.'' She smiled, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder. ''Don't worry, I'm right here in case you need me.''enma |

Masao pushed all the bad thoughts away and held her feelings back when faced with the reality of what they were getting into. Everything from the smell to the blood, to the ominous elevator, it would make her imagination run wild with horror. Thoughts such as, 'what was Enma enduring?' she chose to push to the back of her mind. For the sake of the both of them, of everyone here, she couldn't afford to freak out now. She had to stay focused and be brave until she knew he was okay. ''Nitelight-san!'' Terror struck as a mechanical beast came out of nowhere and pounced on Jun. Before she could wrestle with it for too long, Masao donned her armor in a bright flash. She didn't care if Olivia now knew who she was, or if she couldn't use her quirk in a way that wouldn't incriminate her. Jun's life was in danger, and she would never forgive herself if she didn't give it her all. Her durability and strength now greatly enhanced, Masao would attempt to shoulder tackle the panther off of Jun so that she could contend with it herself. ''I recognize this design! It bears a striking resemblance to that cybernetic assailant from back then..''So it really was the same people after all? No, this didn't really confirm anything. Although she had to wonder, if they had targeted her the first time, then why hadn't they kidnapped her instead of Enma? junsuina, enma, Olivia Liang |

A message back with a red heart emoji attached to it. It was such a simple gesture and yet it perfectly encapsulated who her soulmate was, her warrior poet, a romantic to his very core. She smiled to herself as her heart beat faster, and her steps subconsciously got a little faster. When she finally arrived she wrapped her arms around Enma and kissed him back, holding him there for a moment so she could feel his presence and quietly let him know she had missed him. ''Is that so? Here I had been thinking I wanted to improve on my body rather than my quirk.'' She chuckled awkwardly, blushing from being called his love. ''You can probably guess who gave me the idea.'' She let her delicate fingers trace across his biceps. ''I hope I didn't make you wait long, I took a little longer getting ready today.''Unable to resist him, she put her hand under his chin and lifted it gently before kissing him again. ''I brought my sword if you needed someone to spar with.'' She stepped away and indicated the rose she kept on her person. ''I wasn't certain what plans you had for your super move. If you just want to brainstorm that is fine too.'' She smiled warmly. ''I already know what I want to practice, since I have already technically pulled it off once.'' That evening when the cybernetic assailant ambushed them in Tokyo, she had hastily used a modified version of her ultimate move to momentarily create a blinding light that she used against the villain to create an opening for Enma. ''However, since mine has to do with quirk control, something which I am not used to, I am going to have to take it slow today.''enma |

She smirked at Jun as she apologized and shook her head gently. ''It is fine. You wouldn't think any guys would go for someone like me, right? I am tall, I don't present as a woman most of the time, people often get confused by my gender identity and none of my hobbies are usually associated with girls.'' Jun had never said any of that, but that was how Masao herself had felt. Yet somehow, Enma still saw beauty in her. ''I did not plan to date anyone either, but the heart wants what it wants.'' She didn't mean for it to sound so ominous, but she was definitely implying that Jun wasn't safe just because she thought she would be too busy to date anyone. ''I see, it is a whole job on its own from the sound of it.'' And impressive too, Jun was a hero course student and she wasn't a slacker either. For her to be able to keep on top of her studies and a job like that. It was an admirable feat, Masao didn't even really care how she had landed a job of that nature in the first place. Clearly it was all thanks to Jun's exceptional skills and talent. ''Well, I cannot speak for Enma-kun, so you will have to take up pay with him yourself, but as for myself, your company here today is compensation enough. I hardly ever get a break from the anvil and our conversations are always enlightening.''junsuina |

Mar was always the type of teacher that was really hard to read, or so Masao thought. Was she actually mad at them or just tired? She didn't realize the irony at the time, but Mar's emotions were often so muted, so... stoic, that it was hard to tell what kind of mood she was in. She was nervous, but Enma was right, they were in this together and before she knew it he was the first to speak. Hearing Mar request that they both tell their side of the story, Masao chimed in, as to not leave Enma feeling like he was doing all the talking on his own. Squeezing his hand a bit, she wanted to reassure him she was here too. ''We... We were out on a date when it happened.'' She glanced at Enma, but made sure to talk to Mar. ''I didn't notice it at first, but Enma-kun did. He pulled me out of the way when we were attacked.'' She said it like it was a shameful thing, like she was a disgrace of a hero-to-be for not having seen it herself, for not having been stronger, faster, better. ''Uh, the assailant came to us, we never sought out any trouble, we were in Tokyo because Enma wanted to show me his father's store.'' She dared lift her head a bit, looking over at Enma. ''Isn't that right, Enma-kun?'' She passed the ball to him, letting him explain a bit of his side of the story as she realized her nerves was making her explain it in a way that might be a bit disjointed and confusing. Mar, enma |

Where she had expected to meet Ripp3r head-on, she was surprised to find not only how fast it was, but how nimble it was. Being that it was a large monstrosity she had expected it to be a bit of a tank like her, but that clearly wasn't the case. ''Don't underestimate my resolve, beast!'' Masao bent her knees slightly as she raised her arms, ready to challenge Ripp3r in a different way as she leveraged all the strength and durability her armor gifted her and attempted to lift Ripp3r up over her head after it crashed into her. Hopefully Kiku's mushrooms could help her subdue this monster. She wasn't afraid of succumbing to its weight, or even of the horrifying harpoon-like blades it brandished. She never expected to come through this fight unscathed anyway. ...One hit through her armor and she was already hurting, but she had to push the pain to the back of her mind for now. ''Helsing! I'll... Create an opening for you!'' She exclaimed through strained breathing as she focused everything she had into fighting Ripp3r. ''Hey!'' She shouted back at Ripp3r, smiling under helmet. ''You call that a strike? I barely felt anything..'' She didn't know how intelligent it was, but if possible she wanted to draw the attention of its entire arsenal. Swords, crystal tail and all. It was probably a foolish endeavor, but if it kept Ripp3r from targeting Enma that might make his job more easy too. She could only hope the others were faring well against Jacko and Vec, as she didn't have the time to spare them even a glance. enma, Delirium, Takanashi Misaki, Ylva Riis, Kikurage ShimeijiTL;DR:- Masao is trying to taunt Ripp3r into attacking her instead of Enma - In an attempt to create an opening for Enma, she tries to lift Ripp3r off the ground and over her head - Prays for the safety of her friends facing Jacko and Vec |

She only realized how bad their fake names was after the fact and just gave a nod and unsure, ''...That's right.'' before looking over at Jun, sending her a silent apology. She looked at Olivia as she walked past them and she wanted to follow after her, but not before having a quick exchange with Jun. ''IF we get caught?'' She lowered her voice too, trying to match Jun's tone. ''To hell with the rules, Kanjo-san! They took Enma, I'll worry about something as superficial as my career after I know he is safe.'' It was reckless for someone like her who didn't usually act like this, but between a future as a hero and the man she loved she knew what she was going to choose. For a moment she even thought Jun might not be coming with them, but her advice quickly reassured her. The fact that Jun was so conscious about all of this didn't strike her as suspicious in the moment. All she could think about was Enma and whether he was okay. ''Nitelight, okay.'' She replied, her hands trembling as they entered the premises. Jun was worried about any murder the stranger committed being put on them, but honestly, Masao wasn't even sure she could hold herself back from killing to save her boyfriend. ''She's right, we're coming with. I'm not leaving until I have saved him.'' She deliberately didn't say Enma's name, just in case. ''I was told to come alone.'' She did her best to keep an eye out for any ambushes while sticking close to the others. ''If they see you now they might realize something is up. That is, if they were even intending to honor their words in the first place.'' These were presumably villains after all. As they walked through the base floor she couldn't help but feel extremely creeped out. Whatever activity had been going on here it definitely wasn't legal or ethical. She quietly steeled herself when she saw the blood smear extending to the elevator. ''Let's go, they're clearly expecting us, Nitelight, No-Name.''junsuina, Olivia Liang, enma |

She was once again in her room, typing away at her laptop as she finished writing up a paper about the weapon she had manufactured for Enma. Okami was not only an incredible weapon for him, and she was happy he was able to put it to good use, but it also served as a benchmark for her to record her progress. Physical proof to her teachers that she was improving as a manufacturer. With a sigh she closed her computer and took a hair tie out of her hair to let her red locks flow free. She could always print the paper later so that it was ready to be handed in by Monday. For now, she had practice with Enma. Standing up she stretched her arms above her head, feeling a little lightheaded as she didn't realize how many hours she had been sitting still for. With a yawn she walked over to her full body mirror and checked out her hair. Then she changed into some standard UAU gym clothes that would be more suitable for training. She couldn't help but check herself out in the mirror again, she needed to make sure she looked good for him at all times after all! When it came to her public appearance she was more concerned about being seen in a good light as Enma's girlfriend than as the successor to the Paragon hero name. Was it the spite for her father that drove her to take this perspective, or her love for Enma? Maybe a bit of both? She looked over at her bed as she remembered that night they shared together, blushing at the thought. She longed to be with him like that again, but as hero students their schedules were just so busy. She grabbed her sword Rosaria and fastened it to her hip, just in case Enma needed to spar against another sword for his training. She didn't know what he had planned for his super move, but she knew what she was going to practice. However, as she left her dorm room all she could think about was how she looked forward to seeing Enma, and how she should suggest that they take a vacation together sometime. She texted him that she was on her way to the training grounds, just in case he was already waiting for her. ... The thought gave her pause as horror crossed her stoic expression. ...Hopefully she hadn't made him wait if that was the case. enma |

Between watching people get cut down in front of them and the overwhelmingly oppressive music blaring over the speakers, this fight was already starting them out on the backfoot. It pained her to see others get cut down, but the realist in her used the information they inadvertently gave their team to her advantage. She had already seen horrific things at the start of this war. All she could do now was hope she could prevent as many more as possible. Starting by stopping that RIPP3R. If watching its blades cut down those other heroes had taught her anything, it was that she couldn't allow that mechanical beast to get past her and reach the others. Kikurage tried to say something, but she couldn't hear a thing over the music. Something related to the mushroom trampoline? While she would love to join in on the advance on Jacko, Ylva's subsequent smack and signal to intercept RIPP3R made it clear that she was thinking what Masao was thinking. Out of the team, Masao was far from the fastest, but she was a tank and if anyone stood a chance of going toe to toe with a beast it was her and Enma. She didn't even need to win this encounter, she knew she just needed to buy time for her allies. Buy time for Enma to deliver the final strike to RIPP3R, buy time for the others to beat Jacko within an inch of his life. She nodded at Ylva before pivoting, charging towards RIPP3R as she followed right behind Enma. Choosing to keep her sword sheathed for now, she activated her armor in a flash of light once she got close to the beast and chose to engage it in a contest of strength. It was probably going to hurt when one of those harpoon swords inevitably hit her, but she wasn't afraid. Not because she knew her armor could repel them, but because she knew that she couldn't afford to fall, or all her friends would surely perish. She smiled at Enma as they engaged the nomu. No one else was going to die, that was a promise she was going to uphold too. Love was going to triumph over evil. Takanashi Misaki, Ylva Riis, enma, Kikurage Shimeiji, DeliriumTL;DR:- Masao immediately realizes her role in this fight upon seeing two heroes get cut down, takes Ylva's nonverbal communication as confirmation. - Joining Enma's side, Masao meets RIPP3R's charge head on by challenging it with the durability and strength of her armor, intending to stay engaged with the monster for as long as she needs to so that it doesn't go after the others, intending to act as a shield so that Enma can be her sword. - Man this music is loud af Masao likes classical. |
