She smirked when Ylva told her she was wrong, and still called her Andy to make it worse. ''You must forgive me, Riis-san, I don't make a habit out of committing your deplorable behavior to memory.'' Rather than completely spiteful, her comment this time was more meant as a jab back at her roommate. What Ylva said next caught her completely by surprise. ''I-I... I haven't the faintest what you are insinuating. Nothing is getting in my way.'' Despite her trying to save it, the red hot embarrassment on her face said it all. How could Ylva know? They saw each other less and less after the Sports Festival and she thought that no one... Oh, Misaki. Clearing her throat she tried to clear her mind of Enma. ''Well, suit yourself.'' She straightened her back and turned a bit away from Ylva. ''Then I will do the same.'' Not that her own power was anywhere near as versatile as Ylva's, so what could she possibly expand on? Well, all she could do was follow that feeling, that new, unknown strangeness her quirk sent through her body when she used it. Commit to the feeling and see where it lead. When your quirk is just manifesting shining armor and nothing else, the sensation of manifesting it and wearing it becomes an automatic part of daily life, as much as putting on shoes and not consciously registering the feeling of walking around in footwear. That was exactly why she had noticed something was off. For the first time in years, since the very genesis of her power manifesting something had changed. Closing her eyes and reaching a hand out to nothing Masao focused on that feeling, following it, chasing it inside her. The flash of light that normally only appeared for a moment when she first put on her armor appeared again, this time manifesting as a glow on her fingertips, stretching back to cover her entire hand. Opening her eyes, Masao stared at it with a mixture of awe and confusion. Ylva Riis

She had taken a rare excursion out of UAU, away from Tokyo to come to Saga for the International Balloon Fiesta. It was a nice break away from everything. The training, the workshop, the hustle and bustle of school. Lawbringer had asked her when she took time off and she replied that she pretty much never took time off. Well, that was all about to change. Today she was taking time off from her work as a manufacturer... By entering the balloon competition and manufacturing something! She was just busy putting the finishing touches on her invention while sipping on a fizzy, sugary drink she had bought at the festival grounds. Normally she didn't indulge in soda, but today was her cheat day. ''With one more tweak, the balloon should be able to stabilize when...'' She muttered to herself, making a few adjustments before picking up a remote controller to send the balloon on a test flight. The red balloon which was picked with Michael's head in mind had blades attached to the sides of it, that once it took off into the air, spun around quickly like helicopter blades. Smirking at a successful take off she marveled at her horrific creation. ''Take to the skies, Bladedancer.'' The only problem was moments later she lost control and the balloon went zipping off, zig-zagging up and down around the area before diving right towards an unsuspecting fiesta attendee. Hopefully she could halt it's trajectory in time! Jingjing

It was amusing to see Nat play around with the prototypes like they were toys. There was a kind of blissful innocence to the first years who had yet to be put through the wringer. Whether that was UAU sanctioned events, or the world coming for them in a big way. In any case, by getting this gear out for Nat soon, Masao was making sure to do her part in getting her prepared for whatever lied ahead on her path to heroism. ''Indeed.'' She waved her hand dismissively. ''No need to leave them here, I can simply take your measurements and write those down. The blades I would be putting in your boots would not be as long as sword blades, but they can cut things, or add a little bit of range to your attacks all the same. Because the blades are shorter, I am also thinking of including multiple, building them as 'claws' so that they are more robust.''While they talked and wrapped up their session Masao would begin packing all her prototypes away and cleaning up the field. ''I can have your new boots ready in about a week's time. You know the location of my workshop, yes? Stop by on next Wednesday and a brand new piece of gear will be waiting for you.'' She smirked, bowing her head politely at Nat. ''Thank you for doing business with me, Bee-san. I look forward to showing you the finished product. I can guarantee on my family name that it will not disappoint you.''nat

‘‘Do not worry, Bee-san. I will see to it that you do not get hurt.’’ She smirked, knowing that she would need to guard from Nat’s kicks in such a way that she only hit the softer parts of her armor. Just as she had suspected, Nat seemed a lot more in her element doing kick-based attacks. Which led her to her current conclusion. ‘‘I see. Your instructors are quite observant.’’ As she indicated for Nat to follow her back over to the weapon rack she also fetched her a bottle of water and handed it to her. ‘‘These are two prototype builds I have made for my newest inventions.’’ She handed Nat what just looked to be a sword hilt without a blade. However, once Nat found the mechanism on the side of it a retractable blade would shoot out of the top, making it appear as a regular sword. ‘‘With this one I experimented with retractable blades for not only convenience’s sake, but to delve into the realm of creating hidden weapons.’’ Next she picked up a prototype katana and handed it to Nat. ‘‘Swing this one at a training dummy, then engage the mechanism the same way that you did for the other prototype.’’ She would wait for Nat to do as instructed. The katana would cut like normal at first, striking the dummy like one would expect a sword to. However, once the mechanism was activated the blade turned dull, and turned into a blunt weapon from a sharp weapon. ‘‘The reason I am showing you these prototypes is because I have a proposition. What you need is not a battle axe, or a sword. I think boots would be much more beneficial to you. Boots that you can use not only as weapons, but as tools.’’ She deactivated her armor. ‘‘My proposition is this: I can combine the sharp to blunt and retractable blades feature and implement them in a pair of boots.’’nat

‘‘You are on the right track, please, continue.’’ She tried to give Nat somewhat stiff reassurance, but she really did mean it. Most first years didn’t even know what to do with their quirks, let alone gear, and here Nat was taking initiative in seeking her out and actually trying out new things. She was going to go great places with her gadget hero style idea, Masao just knew it. Then she took the next swing and… No yeah, it wasn’t just Nat’s good intuition, she could see it too observing from her own perspective. Something was off, something wasn’t clicking about the axe. ‘‘Please, hand me the axe for a moment.’’ She held a hand out to Nat. It wasn’t faulty equipment, Masao knew this because she built and maintained the prototypes herself. However, what Nat said got her thinking. Putting the axes aside Masao rejoined Nat and assumed a defensive battle stance. ‘‘Bee-san, I want you to kick me. Don’t hold back, my armor is durable. Kick me like this is a sparring match. Keep going until you’re out of breath.’’ Since she was expecting it even if Nat was fast she was prepared to guard against her strikes. She did nothing to counterattack, and instead just observed the first year student just as she had been. ‘‘The reason I wanted you to kick me, and not the dummy.’’ She straightened her back once Nat was done kicking. ‘‘Is that I can offer you more resistance, more counterplay.’’ She paused and turned back towards the weapon rack, before looking over her shoulder at Nat. ‘‘I think I know what kind of weapon would suit you, Bee-san. Follow me.’’nat

Nat was a quiet person, which made her a lot easier to not only help, but also deal with. She observed the student closely as she swung for the dummy, scribbling down a couple of notes before going back to the weapon rack and grabbing a slightly smaller axe. ''You were holding it correctly. There are multiple factors at play here.'' She pointed down at Nat's boots. ''For one, you want to make sure your feet are firmly planted into the ground. 'Grounding' is an essential rule of combat.'' She demonstrated by doing it herself. ''It may seem counterintuitive to consciously stop and digging your feet into the ground, but once you practice enough it becomes automatic. This will help you keep a better balance. You want to direct the axe, and you want to avoid the axe directing you.''She handed Nat the smaller axe and offered to take the one she was holding. ''The other factor is much more simple, it could be that this one just isn't for your size and build. Knowing the right size and proportions of the weapon you want to wield is crucial. You can learn to wield bigger or smaller weapons, but you will have to learn it one step at a time. Usually, practicing with smaller models is a little easier. Try again, swing with this axe.''This time she made sure to activate her armor and stay near Nat. Just in case there was any chance of her actually harming herself with a missed swing. This way Masao could more easily step in to save her. ''Let me know your thoughts afterwards. Not just on how it feels to wield that axe, but on axes in general. Do you have a fondness for them over other weapon types?''nat

She is always ready to offer a helping hand and will happily craft weapons for those who need them and intend to use them for good.
She holds herself to an impossibly high standard, both as a person and as the symbolic hero she aims to become. However, she also holds others to the same standard and will call out other students or heroes who lack honor or conviction. While Masao can come across as intense and unfeeling, it couldn't be further from the truth. She cares a lot about those around her and is very loyal to her friends. She also has a secret appreciation for cute things which no one can know about.

My parents wanted a son to inherit the family manufacturing business, so I was given a boy's name and raised as a boy. My earliest memories are of my parents showing me the workshop and the forge I would one day use to tame steel just like them.
At the age of six I inherited my mother's armor quirk. It was an armor just like hers, with an activation switch akin to my father's quirk. At the time I was ecstatic, but I soon learned it would take many years for me to earn this armor, this heavy burden. My parents wanted me to have the world. To use their status and experience to train me to be the best weaponsmith in Japan, but they also forced me to train towards becoming a hero. To use my armor for the people.
I named my power ''Fake Divine'' when I learned firsthand how impossible it was to meet their expectations, and yet I press on.
I passed the UAU support student entrance exam. It was no surprise that they were impressed with my product, I had been honing my craft since I was a child. In my first year at UAU I excelled at every written test, every practical test, my weapon production was steady and of high quality. The problem was, it wasn't good enough. By the end of my first year I hadn't managed to stand out at all on the manufacturing front. I was doing well, but I wasn't the shining example of hope that my parents hoped.
I intend to remedy the mistakes of my first year heading into my second year. The only problem is this former Shiketsu student. She's on the hero course and she's a troublemaker. I am to be her student liaison. Monitor her every move and make sure she keeps up with school because she's too immature to do it by herself. It's irritating, but it's just another hurdle I need to overcome on my journey to becoming a hero.

When she overuses her quirk or her armor absorbs too much damage, it will automatically fade away and leave her exhausted, often unable to run or stand for a short period of time.

Masao had received many commissions and requests in her time as a support student at UAU, but none as strange as the one made by Natesa Bee. The young upstart didn't exactly know what she wanted for her weapon, but Masao still encouraged her to take the commission further with her. It wasn't uncommon to find that first years didn't know exactly what they needed and it was at times like this where she brought out the armory. Having wheeled all the weapons out to an open training field, Masao had spent the morning setting things up for Nat to come and test an array of prototype weapons on test dummies strewn about the open field. All of these weapons were basic by design, as they were meant to serve as templates. For instance, was Natesa the type of fighter to wield an axe, or a dagger? What would feel more natural in her hands and what did she feel like she could grow accustomed to? Once they settled on a framework, that's when Masao could get to work on making something more complex and worthwhile. While she waited for Nat to show up, Masao took out her phone and backed up a few paces before snapping a picture of her setup, including as many training dummies and as much of the weapon rack as she could, before sending it to Enma with a few sword and sun emojis. Once they woman of the hour arrived Masao would take a formal bow in greeting her. ''Bee-san I assume? Welcome to the training field. I am Masao Ando. I have procured an array of weapons for you to test out.'' She indicated the weapon rack. ''Feel free to try them out at your own pace. If you have any questions I will be here to answer them.'' She was also going to be taking notes and keeping an eye on her form, just to make sure her client didn't injure herself. nat

For some reason his answer made her realize how big of a deal it was that she had basically given him a free pass to come and hang out here whenever he wanted. It didn't feel like a big deal to her. If anything, she just wanted to return the favor, and more importantly, for entirely selfish reasons she wanted to get to know him better. Enma wasn't just another customer to her, he wasn't just a fellow student either, he was someone she not only tolerated being around, but wanted to be around as much as she could. She wanted to say something in return, how it wasn't a big deal at all, and yet she found herself unable to answer, her face turning a little red as she smiled and returned his nod. She was over the moon to see how satisfied he was with the sword. It was the only thing that kept her from staring at the art piece he had made of her. How long had he spent on it? When she thought about how he had spent his free time thinking about her, creating something so personal, it made her feel incredibly happy. ''There is no doubt in my heart- mind-'' she quickly corrected herself, feeling a little flustered. Wasn't it getting hot in here? ''-that you will take good care of it.'' How was the sword going to change in the hands of Enma? What journey would he take it on? What path was he going to carve? She could hardly wait to see the results. Every time she closed her eyes she still vividly saw the first time he used his quirk in front of her, a beautiful kaleidoscope of colors lighting up her world. ''It's perfect.'' She smiled, hardly able to let go of the scroll. A gift from Enma Arashi... How could she not treasure that with all her soul? She appreciated the sentiment, to hear it coming from him was more important than to hear any words of validation or affirmation from her family. However, she knew deep down that it would take much more than these simple weapons to get her family to notice her and more critically, take her seriously. She took a deep breath as they got outside, taking in the fresh air and cold breeze that would help clear her head. She had been such a mess lately, unable to focus, blushing, finding her heart was racing even when she wasn't exercising. She put one hand on her hip and watched with admiration as Enma diced up a training dummy. One day she wanted to be that good too. To move with such precision and speed, so effortlessly. She was inspired to try harder because of him. To become someone who could make a difference, who could protect people. What he said next resonated with her heart, instantly causing it to race faster again. The innocent joy on his face, the way he said her first name. She had unlocked a core memory today, a moment she was going to play on repeat while eating dinner, or texting him later today before going to bed. ''I-It's... I am overjoyed that you find it to your liking.'' She smiled, rubbing the back of her neck with her hand while her face lit up again. She couldn't believe her own luck, that she had met Enma, gotten to see his smile, such genuine and real joy... While she wanted to live in the moment, take it all in and enjoy every second with him, part of her couldn't help thinking, was there something she could do to get him to smile like that again? ''It will be sure to catch your opponents off-guard. No one expects a sharp blade to turn dull, but stay just as effective as it was before.'' All the more reason it was the perfect weapon for him. Anyone lesser than Enma Arashi would not know how to utilize such a weapon to its full potential, but she had faith in him after seeing him in action, after hearing him talk about his goals and dreams. Dreams she was going to help him turn into reality. Lining up her own strike more carefully than Enma, she made sure to take her time and rehearse the swing in her head, before striking the doll, drawing her sword and bringing out the blade just in time to cut a gash into its torso. Her sword was light and swift, but sturdy. It was the perfect weapon for someone like her who couldn't wield weighted swords without her quirk, and who needed a faster weapon to offset the weight of her armor. As they continued to practice with their new weapons, Masao inspected the blade of her sword timidly before clicking the mechanism that let it retract. ''...Arashi-san.'' She started up slowly, not turning to face him. She wasn't even sure it was appropriate to bring this up, but she had already spoken so it was too late to back out now. ''I noticed you have been calling me by my first name.'' There it was again, her heartbeat. It was so loud it drowned out all other sounds. She finally turned to look at him, although she couldn't look for too long before she had to redirect her gaze to the ground or the tree line behind him. ''I have been thinking, since we train together... And... Maybe it would be easier...'' Oh no she was completely fumbling over her words. ''You can forego calling me Ando-san. If you want, please call me Masao.'' She finished with a bow, both to be formal, but also to hide her face and the mess of emotions that had taken hold of her. enma

Weird things had been happening lately. On one hand, she had been getting a sudden surge of inspiration in her craft and was finally finalizing the plans to complete Rosaria and the Crimson Lightning. She even made a katana for Enma. She was moving at a pace so fast she could hardly recognize herself and she didn't feel exhausted. In fact, no part of her wanted to slow down the pace she was moving at. On the other hand, her quirk had been acting strange. Ever since her fight with Ylva in the arena. She didn't just lose her pride that day, she disappointed Michael and Kei, but she lost a critical connection to her quirk too. Was she getting sick? Fake Divine responded to her state of well-being, but when she went to get checked out by her doctor they found that nothing was wrong with her. It was a mystery that had haunted her every waking moment. Try to use her armor? It either partially manifested, or didn't respond at all. One time, it even manifested away from her body, like a gauntlet falling to the ground five feet ahead of her. Something it had never done... In the past, disdain was what fueled her. To prove her doubters wrong she donned the armor. Her family, Ylva, anyone who made fun of her. Now... All she could think about was Enma Arashi, and it was throwing her quirk out of balance. She needed to find a way to stabilize. And what better way than volunteering to be a target dummy for her biggest rival? ''I see you've showed up early, Riis-san.'' Where she had once spoken to Ylva with a cold indifference, there was an underlying tone of mutual respect to the way she addressed her ever since the Sports Festival. ''Shall we get to it?'' She closed her eyes and searched for the trigger that would help her activate her armor. This was it, the moment of truth. In a flash, Masao managed to don her armor as usual. She tried not to show it, but she was relieved that her quirk didn't mess up in front of Ylva. She would have given her shit for that for the rest of the year. ''I do not know what your plans are, and I know you prefer action over words so, do what you must.'' She held her arms out, ready to get blasted by whatever Ylva had in store for her. Ylva Riis

She gave a soft nod. ''That is correct. The armor quirk has been passed down in my family through the years.'' She was a bit surprised someone like him knew that. It wasn't she was like especially talented or a celebrity or anything like that. What he said next kind of took her by surprise. ''Avoid getting hit, but, Lawbringer, does that not defeat the purpose of a defensive quirk?'' Maybe she just couldn't think ahead, or maybe she was too young to get it, but what he said seemed to run counter to everything she had told herself during training. ''Yes, while I am indeed in the support class first and foremost, I believe it is my duty as a future hero to train and prepare myself for real combat. I don't plan to get a desk job by the end of my studies, I want to take to the streets myself. Face evil head-on.'' Despite her inexperience there was a fire in her voice, a burning desire to become someone who could help a lot of people. ''Time off?'' She looked blinked her eyes, looking at him, then over at the other students in the field. ''Lawbringer,'' she smirked, ''surely you jest, I do not have time for time off. When I am not studying I am forging, when I am not forging I am training. I'll have time off the day I grow old and retire.''He was joking... Right? Surely a professional like him, and such an esteemed hero had worked hard to get to where he was. Lawbringer

She was glad that, despite the difference in their journey, how he was a much more capable fighter than her he still wanted to train with her. She was used to making bad first impressions by now, but maybe she had gotten better somewhere along the way? ''I feel honored, Arashi-san. I will gladly take you up on that offer. In a similar vein, the door to my workshop is always open.'' She paused for a moment. ''Except when I'm not here myself.'' She added with a small smirk. ''You noticed?'' She let out a small chuckle. ''I would expect nothing less of the great Helsing. The sword is weighted, but I assumed that would be no problem for you.'' Not because she had looked at his muscles and remembered them or anything! It was just- it was to help him! To get a better sword, one suited to his build, that's all it was! ''I will leave the task of naming the katana to you, its sole wielder.''What he said next surprised her a bit. ''Something for me?'' She blinked her eyes, keeping her smile as she looked at him. This wasn't their arrangement, but she was curious what he was talking about. Hopefully it wasn't money. The sword was a gift, but at the same time she would feel bad turning down an offer of payment. ''By all means.'' She didn't know what to expect, but knowing him it was something thoughtful. She definitely did not expect a gorgeous art piece. Unraveling the scroll slowly, her jaw dropped once she saw what, or who it was depicting. ''E-Enma... Arashi-san! This is..'' She swiftly corrected herself, her face growing redder than her hair. ''It's stunning... You made this for me?'' She had received birthday gifts before and the like, but never anything that felt this personal. ''It's...'' She smiled, she couldn't help it, ''you leave me at a loss for words.'' Her heart beat fast again, like she was in the middle of a fight, except there was no fight to speak of. She looked over at Enma. Did he turn around because he was embarrassed? ''Th-Thank you.'' She rolled the scroll back together very gently. ''I'll cherish this gift. Finding a place to display a piece of art of such beauty and craftsmanship will prove quite the welcome challenge.'' She bowed formally, smiling at him. Wait, how did they carry on from here? Oh right! ''U-Um, there's another function to your new katana, but it is best demonstrated when you swing it. How about we go outside so you can test it?'' This warmth in her cheeks, it didn't seem to fade. Was her face red? Hopefully not too red. Oh no, even just thinking about it made her flush even more. ''I have a sword I need to test too.'' She plucked a large rose from off the counter. ''I call this one 'Rosaria','' The hilt and guard was designed to make it look like a rose, but at will, Masao activated a mechanism in the sword that made a blade shoot out of the top. ''The blade is retractable, making it easier to carry, as well as a potential surprise weapon.''Once they made their way out to the training fields she indicated a couple of training dummies she had set up. ''Sharp to the touch, your katana cuts with the efficiency expected of the weapon, however, there is another secret component to it. I encourage you to try it out and see if you can find it, Arashi-san.'' If she was being too cryptic she could just tell him, but something told her he was the type of guy who liked to learn by doing. enma

With some extra time on her hands she wasn't sure what to do next. She had finished his sword, finished making a sword for herself as well. Study, perhaps? No... For some reason she couldn't focus, not when she was waiting for him to show up. Sure, she could read a line or two but her thoughts soon drifted to that morning where they first crossed swords, to that first time she saw him in the classroom. Funny. Usually when she thought of others it was either out of resentment, or someone she was dreading to see, like her roommate Ylva. Enma occupied a positive space in her mind. She never knew such a thing existed. Maybe somewhere along the way, she had found the key to making a friend, and why people seemed so obsessed with relying on others. When she saw his text she couldn't help but smile. How had his day been? Still training as always or was the constant stream of homework getting to him? Hopefully he was making sure to eat healthy every day. As she passed it, she paused in front of the mirror of her workshop and squinted at her own reflection. Was something off about her hair today? Maybe she would look better wearing it down instead of having it up in a ponytail. When he arrived she turned to face him, smiling. ''Arashi-san, welcome. Please by all means let yourself in, I am not so busy that I cannot make time for you.'' She was never going to tell him that she had actually just been polishing clean tools just now to pretend like she was working while he came in here. ''And what wonderful timing! The most skilled swordsman in all of UAU stepping foot inside my workshop just as his new sword has been finished.'' She turned and picked up the display the sword had been placed on, still leaving it obscured by a white piece of cloth. ''Whenever you're ready,'' she indicated the piece of cloth with her hand. ''feel free to take a look.'' Her heart was beating faster. She really wanted him to like this. Normally when forging weapons she knew when to call it quits, but Enma had really brought out the perfectionist in her. Once the katana was revealed, vibrant colors would take center stage in her ordinary workshop. A beautiful crimson blade, inspired by his fiery spirit, and own red eyes shone. The sea of crimson roses that she still thought about, whether she was in the middle of class or in the middle of training. Accompanying the blade which was begging to take the spotlight, a black handle contrasted it perfectly to put the emphasis where it needed to be. Finally, the finishing touches she had spent far too long on, the tsuba consisted of a swirl of stars, signifying the great heights he was reaching for, and would no doubt achieve in his career as a future hero. ''I hope it is to your liking.'' She bowed respectfully. When she closed her eyes she thought back to that first goodnight text she received from him. She had been looking up at the starry night sky. She replied in kind, wishing him a goodnight too, but had her text come in too quickly? Doubt flooded her mind. Did friends usually text each other right away, or was she supposed to wait a bit? Meeting new people was so complicated... Hopefully Enma could forgive her lack of experience. The Ando family covered etiquette and mannerisms in a formal setting, but making friends, or hanging around her peers was hardly something she had been encouraged to do growing up. enma
