[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] They were picking it all up rather quick. A few clumsy punches firmed into bone-breaking jabs in all of a moment. They were self-aware, too; they recognized the need to shift and reverse their stance due to their left-handedness. There were a few peculiarities, courtesy of their quirk, that might require modification, but one thing at a time.
"Right, so yer' a southpaw, which can be pretty advantageous. Most people, even experienced fighters, aren't as accustomed ta' fighting lefties. They might no' realize why the fight is flowin' different than they're used to until it's too late."
That mistake cost Farrin some teeth in his younger years. Luckily, quirk healing meant he didn't need any molded replacements or the like. Those who populated the upper echelons of martial prowess would recognize the oddity, but the precious seconds to minutes it took most to adapt would cost them dearly.
"Hm. Yuh' know, with 'em claws o' yers," he started; maybe claws was a bit exaggerated, but they were sharp, and that was the real point, "yuh' could probably get away wit' jabbin' yer fingers forward in lieu o' a proper punch. Yuh'd need ta' be extra careful while trainin' wit' others, but against opposition, like the scary powerful sorts that yuh' really need ta' let loose on, it might cause more damage."
Easily lethal if left unchecked, but the same applied to most quirks. Fists too. It took a little more effort, but even without his quirk, Farrin could crack most people's skulls like an egg if he was a rotten bastard. You navigated your abilities and discovered your limits at UA, then learned to control it all. Moderation and appropriate force and all that.
When Khepri asked about parrying, Farrin dove right in. He demonstrated a few batting motions in the air, almost swatting the invisible attack coming his way away, then thrusting his fist forward into the pretend target. "Remember ta' put some oomph inta' it. Some people seem ta' think deflection can be a light affair, but yuh' really want ta' swat that arm aside n' create an openin' ta knock the enemy in the jaw or some such. Somethin' ta really rattle 'em. Also, we dodge a lot wit' this style," he continued, demonstrating with the sway of his upper body from one side to the other, then drawing his head back as if maneuvering around a combo.
"Fightin' is more exhaustin' an affair than most realize. Tire yer' opponent out n' half the work is done fer' yuh."
With that, he would engage with Khepri's practice shots, batting a few away, taking others, and throwing some lighter jabs of his own. Form first, then they could apply some force to simulate the real deal.
"Are the claws difficult at times?" He asked, mid-dodge, then threw another light shot their way. "Jus' curious. Me' own nails are rather short, n' certainly not sharp even when they grow out. I imagine most things are the same, but jus' wonderin'."
Chronokinesis had some mutation facets to it, but nothing that pronounced and obvious. Razor nails like that could be beneficial in some ways but probably problematic in others. A quirk-based curiosity gnawed at him. Like what about the ears and tail, too? That had to mean superior balance, right?

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Another day spent throwing down in an honest scrap at the Sports Festival arena. Farrin lost count of how many he partook in at this point. The other challenges were fun, and he might throw his name in the hat for a few more, but the combat challenge was the real deal. Some claimed it was too simplistic, where the other challenges presented opportunities for a strategic approach, but anyone who thought a fight lacked strategy had never won out over a capable opponent before.
This was especially true in a two two-on-two match, which this was. Today, he was teamed with Josie. She wasn't very sure of herself, and who could blame her? Learning to navigate one's quirk, especially when its true prowess remained hidden, was not for the faint of heart, but he trusted her. She would have his back, and that was more valuable than most realized.
"Yuh' ready?" He greeted her when she arrived.
Their opponents were still talking it out on the opposite end of the arena. One wore a black and white coat, the other was adorned in red. He didn't recognize the two, so there was no telling what their quirks were, but that only made the test more realistic. In any case, both opponents were in shape, and neither appeared to be a pushover. Good. Farrin was looking for a challenge. No better way to take one's measure.
"I'll try ta' hold their attention. Yuh' dun need ta' throw yerself in the middle o' it all, jus' wait fer an opportunity ta' present itself," he offered. It was a simple enough strategy. Yep, there we are again. Strategy. Simple didn't mean easy, though. And that's why simple was good, because a complex strategy was even more liable to fall apart. Not simple, though. Simple was reliable. [attr="class","FarrinLeft"] [attr="class","fa fa-cog"] Symbol of Heroism [attr="class","fa fa-cog"][attr="class","FarrinQuote"]Even if it's already been decided.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Valid. Feckin. Points. With a quirk like his, the fella could have run one of the greatest haunted Halloween houses in the city, if not the country! Instead, he turned to ruining the holiday for some folks with some petty muggings.
The ambitious "take over the world" villain sorts sometimes made sense. Not the actual logic, and even less the ethics or morality, but if you put your bad guy cap on, tilted your head, and squinted, you might find some semblance of understanding. There were dots one could connect. Maybe they honestly thought they could do a better job running the world, or more than likely, they were traumatized in some way they didn't know how to cope with. Some were honestly just evil bastards, but their actual plots and plans would bring them from point A to B if heroes didn't get in the way. This? This was bullshite. The fella could have made so much money a million other ways. He just lacked imagination.
"Feckin' shite fer brains here," he added onto Josie's comment.
A few minutes later, though, the police arrived and carted the guy off. A quick flash of Farrin's preliminary license and he and Josie were good to go about their business after submitting statements and such. If any follow-up was required, they knew where to find the students.
"Alright, back ta' makin' people's nights," Farrin said, starting away from the scene once the cops took off. "Some feckin' people. Yeeeesh." It was his last comment as they continued down the street.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Yer more than welcome, lad," Farrin responded to Enma, then looked the rest of the class over. A few jabs were thrown a little too lightly, perhaps courtesy of the earlier incident, but the more confident students were already cranking up the intensity. "Oi, Fuyutake, yuh dun' need ta block e'ery blow, tryin' bein a little more mobile! Stance makes it easier ta' sway outta direct shots when yer used ta' it!" He shouted to another of the student pairs.
Farrin didn't turn his full attention back to Enma, eyeing the class over now, but he lowered his tone so only those closer students, including Enma, would hear him. "I won't twist yer' arm ta stay. If yuh' think it's genuinely fer the best ta' head back now, yer' an adult, by all means, do so, but if yuh' no mind my sayin, pushin through things here n' now might save yuh' from some headaches later. Up ta' you though. Nobody knows you better than you."
Farrin didn't have to live a day in Enma's skin, so who was he to say if this was avoidant behavior or if the lad truly needed to recoup? He wouldn't frown on the decision either way. However, facing problems sooner rather than later spared anxiety less time to feed those issues and make them appear larger. If it was a case of the former, conflict avoidance, then crush it all now and be done with it.
Khepri was on approach, but with the class dialed into their training now, there was less interruption. No scene added to the earlier film, so Farrin continued looking the class over. That's when he recognized Kikurage as they pulled a one-eighty in their demeanor and took an entirely different stance.
"Oi! Things okay over there?" He shouted, "yuh sure yer good ta' go already? Forms, ehhhh, a little off!" Jun had plenty of combat experience. She wouldn't overdo it and would likely recognize if additional attention was required. If Kiku's condition became any more obvious, though, there was a fair chance Farrin would step in.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Anger was a dangerous thing, especially in the middle of a scrap. There was no denying it, but pretending you could just toss it away was pretty stupid. The self-proclaimed wise men made it out to be some searing rock in your hand. Hold onto it, and you get burned. But what if you take that burning rock and smash it in some fookin arsehole's face? Yeah, it might burn a bit, but the prick who thought it wise to mimic a loved one wasn't eating for a month. Throw a little ointment on, and your hand was fine a day or two later. So, who's actually the wise one here?
Farrin balled that searing anger up and slammed it against the bulwark of the rook's chest again and again. He felt the heat, like really felt it. This was courtesy of the thermite explosives that exploded against the golem just a few moments prior, not far from Farrin's position clinging to the creature. A singular focus deprived him of this insight.
"I'll feckin' pry yuh' ta pieces n' make trainin' dummies o' yuh ta' smash all over again, yuh' oversized scrap heap!" He shouted until the pockmark dents burst into small holes in its armor.
He shut his eyes tight. There was more of her in there. He couldn't look below, couldn't see her harmed. Seeing her shot and bleeding once was more than enough. No more.
"Fine then, let's see how yuh' function without a head!"
Farrin kicked off the armor and lunged upward. His feet landed hard a few meters higher, and he began running UP the giant. He didn't see Retsu fire but heard her shots connected as they pierced the giant's crown—right where he was heading. Then, an eery red glow speared the air from every hole left in the Rook.
"Ah shite."
A resounding boom shook Farrin to the bone, and when the Rook's remains fell into the abyss, Farrin fell with it.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] And that was all Farrin needed to hear. "Keep yer head on a swivel," he responded to Josie. The nature of the connection between man and ghost hasn't been established yet. It might operate independently of him and try to attack her.
No time to lose. Farrin cranked up his quirk, leaped onto a window ledge, then blasted off onto the roof. "You!" He shouted, landing a few meters from the figure. Below, the ghost would, in fact, lunge at Josie, taking a few swipes at her, but before long, it would seize up.
Farrin closed the distance and swept the fella's legs out from under him with a kick, then kneeled at his side, holding a fist up—ready to punch. "Yer gonna call that thing off 'fore I knock yuh inta' next week," he spoke with authority despite the ridiculous costume. The fear was plain to see across the crook's face, his eyes wide and hands raised at his sides in surrender.
"Okay, okay!"
With that, the ghost below would disappear. "Now, what the hell was that all 'bout," Farrin asked. Clearly, the ghost was of quirk make, but what was he up to, and why couldn't Farrin hit the thing?
"I... I, I needed money," he squeaked pitifully. "Figured people like you would be busy elsewhere tonight. My ghosts can interact with others but can only be hit from behind. Thought I could scare some folks and get what I needed."
He was a talker. Good. He also answered both questions without Farrin needing to specify. "Plenty o' people fallin' on hard times, arsehole. Dun' give yuh' the right ta' rob others," he said, lifting the man over his shoulder and leaping over the building's edge. The use of a few deceleration fields made the landing easy.
"Let's hand this one over ta' the police, then get back out there," he then said to Josie.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] The math wasn't mathing. Not when plugged into a logical framework. Save Sparkle or apprehend the guilty crook? Maybe under different circumstances, there might be a choice to be made, but here and now, there was only one thread to pull, one route to follow, one realistic possibility before him. And he made it the moment the man pulled the trigger.
Farrin yanked on the binding cloth again, thrusting the criminal forward. One sloppy step followed another as the man was thrown off balance. Farrin spun into a kick that landed against the man's jaw. Using that spinning momentum, he leaped over his own binding cloth, then pulled again. No wiggle room. No escape. The man was reeling back after the kick, then whipped right back Farrin's way only to be met with a hard right shot to the jaw.
Lights out. He dropped like a sack of bricks. Farrin lobbed another stretch of cloth around the crook's unconscious body, securing him. He kicked the weapon away, then sprinted toward Kawahara. She was still a few stories up. A turn of the wrist and a thin, shimmering field of nearly translucent emerald would form in the shape of a flat rectangle a little below Kawahara. It was like an oddly large, green piece of paper floating in the air.
"If yuh' drop inta' that, yer gonna move slow fer a second, n' I'll be able ta catch yuh pretty easily!" He shouted up at her.
She wouldn't even realize she was moving slowly if she did pass through the field. It would look instead like the world was moving fast around her. But then, maybe she didn't need the help. She was pretty nimble, moving across the rooftops.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Thunder struck. Or so it sounded. It was actually Farrin's fist slamming home against Speed Demon's armor. Cracks spiraled around her cuirass, and the armor crumbled, revealing the white tunic below. Awestruck, she eyed the metal fragments as they clattered uselessly against the tile ground.
"Hope yuh' can take a hit without it," Farrin said, smirking.
His confidence was entirely on display. While Chronokinesis didn't pump his muscles with superhuman strength directly, stretching one hour of training out enough that it felt like a day certainly improved his physicality. Now imagine working out like that for a solid six hours, minimum, most days of the week. He cultivated his strength through superhuman training. Different means to achieve a similar, desired result. The point being: Farrin hit fecking hard.
Still, the Speed Demon didn't wear the markings of defeat yet. Her gaze met his, and then she was gone. A sweep of the leg in that one moment he was focused on his handiwork, and Farrin lost his footing. He fell onto his back, her fist already covering the distance between them for a follow-up strike.
"Don't get cocky—this isn't over!" She shouted.
Terminus's situation was quite the opposite. An apparent victory was snatched right out from under him. His arm swept through the air, ready to knock Freja's block off—or send her flying out of the arena, at least, but there was no contact. She slid right beneath his arm. Even if he wanted to clap and shift density, the receding grapple line pulled one arm away from the other. Then came the molly-whopping. The grapple line fully receded, but his hands couldn't reach on time. His stone-like skin was tough, but the bat smashed against his back, sending him tumbling forward into a roll.
Terminus jammed his fist into the arena floor, cutting his momentum before risking any fall outside the arena himself. With the moment settling, the pain set in. His back felt like it was on fire, and the exact spot where the bat connected was a pulsating inferno. He grit his teeth, and pushed off the ground. "Credit where it's due, lady Helt. But I won't be making such a mistake again!" He shouted, biting back the pain.
Terminus charged, but as he closed in on Freja, he spun, pulling off his coat and throwing it in her direction. He clapped three times, hoping the coat would obscure her vision. Then, he punched! If she tried to counterattack at that moment, he would wait for the bat to bypass his intangible state, then clap again and try to push the offensive, throwing another hard jab her way.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] The crook of Farrin's eyebrow rose, and his eyes widened a smidge with Khepri's stomp. It was enough to stifle the bubbling laughter crawling up his throat from their interpretation of boxing. This wasn't the first time he witnessed their abilities, but during the supermove class, his focus was set on self-improvement. This was the first time he had seen their quirk in use up close.
"Yeah, I can see how that would work wit' most opponents," he said, inspecting the impression they left in the ground. "But strength n' speed alone won't always be enough. Some opponents might be stronger, faster, er' otherwise equipped ta' deal wit' yer quirk. That's why technique is pivotal. It's no' somethin so easily prepared fer n' is more difficult fer' people ta' adapt to."
Farrin's arrival in Japan was marked by repeated arse whoopings. He was faster than Barty and Apogee, his trainers, before starting Hero Prep and then moving on to UA, but he lacked their technique. If a stronger or faster opponent only threw straight jabs well, it was easy enough to predict what move was coming and use that information against them. Proper fighting forms came armed with many options and were more difficult to predict and counter. And that was before factoring in the inner discipline they cultivated and superior methods of leveraging one's natural strength and capabilities. Khepri certainly had natural ability. Hone those abilities into something as practiced as it was powerful, and who knew how high their potential ceiling might grow?
"Close. Here, lemme help yuh' out a bit," he said, entering their space once it was clear they were comfortable.
He leaned over and helped them to straighten out that foot, and line up their torso properly when he stood back up. "We want ta' narrow yer profile, make yuh' a more difficult target without jeopardizin' yer ability ta' pivot into yer swings. That's where much o' the force o' a proper punch comes from," he said, helping them into a proper stance.
Once they were straightened out, Farrin took his position opposite of them and entered his stance as well. "So, the absolute basics start wit' a simple jab from the left hand, assumin' that's no' yer dominant side," he explained, throwing a few punches into the air. "My dominant side is me' right, so I might use a few jabs ta' loosen up me' opponent n' create an openin' fer a hard cross-jab." He threw his right fist forward through the air. He lacked any proper targets to display such a feat, but Farrin's cross-shot could shatter stone, courtesy of his quirk stretching hours of training into what felt like days.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Farrin's swings offered little more than some growing frustration. If he kept this up, the only thing he would accomplish would be raising his blood pressure. Not what he needed at such a young age. But what other options were there? Let the thing run rampant and harass whoever it pleased? Absolutely not. People had enough problems. They deserved some uninterrupted fun on a holiday.
So, Farrin kept on swinging. "Oi, jus' give it up already. Yuh' know I'll figure yer' gimmick out!" He shouted if only to prompt some response from the otherwise silent ghost. It laughed and chuckled but didn't utter a word. Its hand swiped at Farrin, but he was still the faster, ducking below the blow. There was always the chance it would have passed through him, but there was no sense taking that risk without knowing.
Farrin leaped back up into an uppercut that passed straight through the ghost. Jumping with his upward momentum, he lifted himself into the air. That's when he saw it—the charging otter. Josie was making a move... in her freaking onesie.
When Farrin fell, it was with a kick that accomplished nothing. But, as Josie barreled into the ghost, the apparition was thrust forward with her push. She connected!
"Ow!" A voice shouted from up above.
Farrin looked up, seeing someone standing at the edge of a roof, looking down on them and rubbing the back of his head. That was no coincidence. He was connected to this ghost somehow.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Despite the fact that Kawahara was older than Farrin, even if he didn't know it, it felt as though he was watching out for some young gunning and reckless teen who was out playing hero. Presumptuous? Probably. You weren't supposed to judge books by the cover, but when the "law enforcement" manual looked like a picture book just recently plucked out of the trash, well, anyone could get a little judgy.
Farrin sighed when his implication with Peacekeeper hit a wall and flopped uselessly aside. Maybe a more direct approach would—okay but props to Sparkle for that jump. Nimbleness and agility were as worthy as strength and constitution in the field. Why block a hit when you could dodge it altogether? Drawing too strong a conclusion from a singular display was prone to a flawed conclusion, but it became clear she wasn't armed with luck alone.
Throwing his weight down, Farrin lunged up into the air and landed on the next building. With a slight push from the temporal powers, he picked up the pace and shrunk the distance between them and their target. He dropped below, then cut the man off as Sparkle spoke. He wasn't about to comply, though; that was clear when the man reached into his jacket for something.
Farrin didn't allow him to respond with a weapon. He flung his arm forward and loosed a band of binding cloth that wrapped around the man's hand, then Farrin yanked it aside, pulling the arm free from his jacket. "Sorry, bud, but I'll need ta' see what you were reachin' fer," Farrin said. The lad had to know it looked like he was reaching for a gun, which would prompt an appropriate response.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] He's a father. He's a murderer. He's homeless. He's a hero. He's a warrior. He's a thief. He's a villain. A thousand divergent realities flashed in Farrin's eyes in a single heartbeat. Emotions rend logic from reality, and words pass his ears entirely unnoticed.
Not her. Not like this. They were supposed to grow old together.
Golden, chronokinetic eyes flared brighter, and a singular emerald wing slowly grew from his back before flickering out of existence, then the process repeated. But the display of temporal power was lost on Farrin. His attention was firmly fixed on the lifeless beauty in his arms. He ran his thumb across her cold cheek.
"Wake up. Wake up," he said, the words muddled by wept tears.
And the taunting. The goddamn taunting. Of course you failed. You always fail. Too slow. Not good enough. Never good enough. It was a voice he was well acquainted with. A distorted mimic of his own making, it spoke like a legion of Farrin all at once. And it haunted his dreams, made them into nightmares. Sleep did the body little good when the mind would never rest. He was always so tired. Would it be so wrong to find his final rest now? What else was there for him now?
Farrin's eyes shut, and the world went silent. Sifting through the sands of time, a single second stretched into an hour. He needed that time and space away from the legion of "him," the voices that dared him to jump over the edge. The breath on his neck, the venom in his ears. He needed to go further, to a place where he could collect his thoughts because something wasn't right, but all the shouting walled him from any semblance of rational thought.
So, Farrin dove deeper and plummeted into the abyss until he found himself in a place he hadn't seen since before moving to Japan. A place so devoid of sight and sound, all that remained was the profound apathy of a castle long ago crumbled. There was life here once, but it was gone now, and everything was taken with it. This was the risk you took letting people in. You invited weakness with strength, risk with reward. There was happiness here, pain too. Now, all that was left was numb.
Right now, numb was useful. It wasn't blowing up and ready to break at the sight of her. Time, as always, was of the essence. Eventually, the distorted legion of those voices above would find him, but he had a moment to stop. To breathe. To focus.
Words uttered by his allies boomed like thunder after the lightning strike. Deep below the layers of distortion and hurt, he could hear them—really hear them. He could piece them together, too.
"What do you see?" "They're fake." "None of them are REAL" "Whoever did this to me... us."
He wasn't particularly close with any of them, but they were UA students like him. Whatever their motivations, they devoted themselves to helping people. And they were faced with something horrific, too. Something was being done to them—a trick. A knife stabbed into old wounds and turned to bleed them out before they ever had a chance to fight.
Final rest? Fook that! And fook these bastards yelling in his ear that he wasn't enough. Enough? Farrin was the whole goddamn heroic package, and if the whole goddamn legion needed proof, well, it was time to open their eyes. His too.
Farrin's eyes widened. He held Sada still, peering into the pink pools of her irises. A place where he would happily swim forever, but these weren't the real things. Still, he handled the copy's corpse with care and slowly lowered her. "I swear I'll find yuh' again," he whispered in her ear, then wiped the tears from his face and stood his height. The wing faded but Farrin's resolve firmed.
Most of the copies appeared to be apprehended or otherwise dealt with. The thought of abandoning her here twisted the knife further, but it wasn't her. It couldn't be. Sada wouldn't have attacked him. She healed wounds; she didn't cause them. She would have said something the moment she saw him. And she certainly couldn't copy herself.
Kikurage was right. The feckers pitting this shite against them had ta' pay. Many of the others focused their efforts on the Tides. But there was also the massive Rook lumbering just a short distance away. Someone had to keep that thing occupied lest it expose their focused attention. So, Farrin leaped back a few meters and leaned down. He forced his weight low, then burst forward at full speed. The air boomed in his wake, and the boy leaped. He did what he did best: mustering his strength, Farrin threw all he had forward into the cannonball of his right fist, which was aimed for the titan's chest.
tldr: Farrin was going crazy for a few, hearing some nasty voices in his head and such, then dug deep mentally, focused on what was being said around him, and pieced together that they were being tricked. The crazy little lad stood up and lobbed himself at the Rook for a big ol' PUNCH for center-mass, trying to damage it and keep it occupied until the others take down the Tide.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Ayounger, grungier Farrin would have suggested each student waltz on up and throw down with him. Sink or swim was a valid educational tool, right? But, an older, hopefully wiser Farrin appreciated a more meticulous approach. Time weathered away his ego... well, some measure of it. And though he detested stillness, age played rainwater to seedling patience. He wasn't here to compete with big personalities. He was here to convey and cultivate a means to defend oneself and others—in everyone present.
"Well, sounds like yuh've a volunteer, Khepri," Farrin started before nodding his approval for Rahul to step in. "Jus', as I said, start light n' work yer way up in intensity." Words delivered less for Rahul and Khepri's sake, he trusted they got the message a moment prior and more to emphasize again to the class.
The next item on the agenda included melting some ice. Ylva displayed incredible prowess during their Sports Festival team-up. But, otherwise, she was mostly an unknown quantity. Were she and Kikurage friends? Is that why she pushed Khepri to come to her aid? Would that potential friendship, or even Enma's display of strength, unintended as it was, stoke a fiery response from her otherwise glacial self? And, on the other hand, could she take a hit if Enma didn't dial things back? Farrin wasn't the sturdiest, but he was notoriously difficult to hit.
"Yer' right, but jus' give me a moment wit' the lad first so I can help 'im regulate a little, then the two o' yuh' can match up fer' the rest o' the lesson."
A fair compromise. She wasn't wrong. Keeping a tunnel vision focus on Enma would blot out the rest of the class. But a moment might do her some good if she was friends with Kikurage, and another unwelcome disruption from unregulated strength might put a stopper on the whole thing.
A few training bots marched toward the group, some students now opting for the mechanical opposition. Others took Farrin at his word and continued with their classmates. Stepping aside toward Enma, he would look the lad over. "Right then, lad. I want yuh' ta' throw a few jabs me' way. Wit' each shot, I want yuh' ta' progressive swing a little harder. I'm doin' this wit' you so we can tell where you should likely cap off wit' the intensity fer' now."
It was an exercise that Haīroguma from the Above & Beyond agency ran with Farrin and Apogee years prior, before Apogee made it as a pro. Once those upper acceptable limits were established, focusing on technique was far simpler.
Assuming Enma complied, Farrin would shift between deflecting blows with his left hand, weaving his upper body one way or another to avoid direct hits, or would block with his arms. Eating those shots on the arm was the gauge at work. The lighter blows were easy to take, but after a few harder shots, Farrin understood Kikurage's anger a bit better. A direct hit from that brick breaker of a cross-shot could land the time-turner on his arse and coughing up a fit. What Farrin lacked in sturdiness, though, he made up for in honed technique.
"Alright, I'm thinkin' we dial it back from those last two shots n' try again. Seems like a hard 'nuff blow that any sparrin' mates will certainly feel it but without breakin' anythin'."
Again, if Enma complied, Farrin would draw out the exchange for another few shots until they landed on the sweet spot he was looking for. The entire process would only take a few moments, and once there, Farrin would give Enma a nod of approval. "I think yer gettin' the hang o' it. If an opponent wants yuh' ta' go harder, well, this is UA n' we've medical staff on hand," he said, eyeing those that helped Kikurage a few moments prior, "but unless they specifically want yuh' ta' bring the thunder, I'd say try ta' keep yer hardest shot at around the level o' those last few." With that, Farrin would wave Ylva over. "If yer' still lookin' ta' match up wit' Enma, feel free."
Now, it was time to turn his attention to the entirety of the class and measure their progress.

[attr="class","Farrin"] [attr="class","KC1"] [attr="class","FarrinBG"] [attr="class","FarrinTop"] [attr="class","FarrinContent"] Shards of the giant fell with Farrin as he descended onto the mushroom beside the others. Things were coming apart, monsters falling, others rising in their place. Only a short distance away, the tides washed and whirled together, forming another giant beside the last of the rooks, which swelled in size. Twin Titans now staring the conglomeration of student-heroes down. Who knew where Pinnacle and Haīroguma would have avoided the tides, but where were they now? And Apogee, too? He had to find them but couldn't until after the immediate threats were dealt with.
Those were his thoughts, at least, until he saw her. An angel's face framed in pink and draconic scales. "Sada?" He blurted out, beaming forward to catch her. He hadn't seen her in months and rarely heard from her since she went digging into her family's past. It left a hollow in him, not knowing where she was or if she was safe, but she made him promise to see his journey through. He had to stay. Is this why he hadn't heard from her recently? Had these bastards, whoever they were, taken her? If they hurt her, the masterminds at play could only hope the pros found them first.
He sped forward, his arms reaching for her. He was only inches away when his winged beauty split—and lunged. Her hands reached for his throat. "What the feck," he recoiled, latching onto her wrists. "Sada, luv', it's me," he said, wrestling her arms away as she continued to reach. Aggression and bared fangs were her only response. Not a word. The odd mix of sugar and spunk was absent, replaced entirely by an animalistic rage.
"Yuh' need," he grunted, "ta' stop."
She was stronger than the last they were together. Way stronger. Sada was always strong in spirit, more so than she ever gave herself credit for, but lifting weights wasn't her thing. Healing hands were still as stone, like wrestling with boulders for fists.
"What's goin' on, speak ta' me!"
But still, there was nothing. He couldn't fight back——would never lay a hand on her in such a way. It didn't matter what she did. There was an immutable part of himself, no matter how deep that hollow went, that knew it couldn't hurt her. Instead, he redirected her forward momentum. "They've gotten in yer' head," he growled as she stumbled aside.
Farrin unhooked his binding cloth and spun, launching it in her direction. The wrap lapped around her legs and torso, making a mummy of his loving dragonic queen. And that's when the rest of the battlefield became clear. He was so focused on trying to get through to one copy that he hadn't processed the others. Just what the hell was going on?
One was charging Kikurage, and another had its hands on Masao. The calls for Enma, or Kikurage's father, fell limp against his tunnel vision. All that mattered was Sada; she was here, and if he didn't stop her, she might get hurt. Farrin primed the cannons on his wrists and dared to raise his arms. "I'm sorry," he said with both sorrow and reluctance weaved into his words. Concern was written across his face, but better a quick, debilitating shock than real potential injury.
Farrin leaped up, then loosed a volley of shock rounds below. Each was of lower intensity acceleration. He couldn't risk the impact doing any lasting damage, and he aimed for each copy's arms or legs. There was no telling which shots might have landed. That tunnel vision stare narrowed further, locked onto one particular copy.
The one Lucille was fighting before Retsu's shots landed.
"No," Farrin whimpered rather than screamed.
Farrin's heart stopped. The world, too. This was no temporal trickery, just a boy who saw the end of everything. Neither of the titans just a short distance away mattered because if that was her—if that was Sada's corpse slumped lifelessly against the mushroomed ground, there would be nothing left. No color. No sound. Nothing.
Had he jumped? Ran? Teleported even? The last wasn't part of his quirk, but it seemed that way to him. One moment he was in the air, taking a shot at each of the copies, the next he was at her side, looping one arm beneath her upper back, lifting her.
"Sada. Sada, please."
Fear, dread, misery. It was breaking through his walls, creeping into his visage, forcing his eyes to water.
"This can't be real, this can't be real," he repeated, "c'mon, get up!"
Anxiety had no time to set in; it was like a fear that the worst was coming, but the worst nightmare had been realized. "Please, please, please," he pleaded. Agony stretched its limbs and reached through him, occupying every cell, every iota of his being. And if he didn't see the truth soon, that agony would swiftly dry into kindling for a fury he hadn't ever experienced.
tldr: Farrin tries to catch the copycat he sees as Sada, but then she lunges for him. He subdues her in binding cloth, then fires a stun round for the other copies. He doesn't see if they're hit, though, because he's focused on the copy Retsu shot, which was fighting Lucille a moment prior. Now he's freaking out because he isn't being logical and thinks she could really be dead.
