As Mamoru was chatting with Toni the bell range and the teacher finally arrived. A Mr. Akihito Yoshida aka L Guardian aka The Sentinel Hero aka henceforth Sir Buzzkillington. Mamoru frowned at the teacher's fairly depressing and pessimistic demeanor. Sure the life of a hero wasn't all fun and games, but geez this guy was mean. Still Mamoru did begrudgingly accept that heroics, as glamorous as they seem on television, was important and life risking work. People [i]die[/i] in the line of duty, and Mamoru had to take it seriously. So that end once Mr. Akihito started talking Mamoru did pay attention.

Firstly they had their own lockers just for their hero gear. For now it only had their gym clothes, which was fine for Mamoru. She already had her hero costume planned out and everything. Next excited her: Battle Training. She wondered what the teach had in mind; were they going to fight against robots, maybe do some "live" exercises, possibly even fight against one another? Mamoru was absolutely giddy with excitement, and was one of the first to leave to get changed. Her gym clothes weren't anything unusual or different, since she lacked any physical mutation quirks that would otherwise change her body. She noted that the fabric was rather thick yet light; perfect for rigorous activity that may damage the clothes. Not exactly the stuff you'd put in a hero costume, as Mamoru was quite familiar with the type of fabric and design that goes into those. But for a gym uniform, it'll do.

Next was where today's lesson would take place: Training Ground Echo. It looked like a construction sight, and immediately Mamoru was already thinking about possible hazards and obstacles. [color=pink]"Hmm. These buildings could fairly fragile, and destroying important parts of them could cause the whole thing to collapse. Lost of weak floors, gotta watch out for those. They could either make for a nasty exit, or a surprising entrance. Lotta loose rubble too. Anyone who's got a big bang quirk will have shrapnel flying all over the place. Or a lot of cover."[/color] Mamoru also wondered if any of the vehicles were operational. She wished she knew how to hot-wire a car, but then again hot-wiring was totally eighties. Most modern vehicles nowadays couldn't be hot-wired, or at least it took way too long for it to be practical in the short term. But if she could at least shift them into neutral, than maybe she could use them as traps.

There was also one last thing that Mr. Akihito said that Mamoru was going to have to remember well: [i]Stick to your strengths[/i]. So simple, yet a lesson Mamoru regretfully tends to forgot. Just like her previous thought about hot-wiring these cars or destroying buildings, she was thinking too much about what-ifs and less about what she could actually do here. Things that were within her skill. Mamoru was fast and sharp; she could take advantage of the tight corridors and weave between obstacles and trip up her opponent. She's also sharp enough to be able to react to anything that might jump out at her or try to sneak up on Mamoru. While she probably couldn't toss one of those big metal rods, she surely could take a handful of concrete and nail someone with it. [color=pink]"Ah yes. And this is always important too."[/color] Mamoru knelt down and dug up and handful of loose dirt and sand, stuffing it into her pocket.

[color=pink]"Can't go wrong with pocket sand."[/color]

Listening to Acion talking about his powers made Donny wonder what else he could do with his own powers. He could physically make wings, but he's never been able to generate enough lift to actually let him fly. Maybe if he made size wings he could pull it off, but Donny never tried that before. Acion also mentioned being able to use the feather as weapons, so they must be sharp and tough. Or at least one or the other. It made Donny wonder if it hurts Acion when his wings get damaged; while he was probably fast, those wings would be the biggest targets on him. As Donny pondered this the bell range and the teacher arrived. The L Guardian, Akihito Yoshida.

Their homeroom teacher's words struck a nerve with Donny. He understood the importance of heroics and that people needed to take it seriously, but he had hoped that maybe their teacher would be more encouraging, rather than wanting to cull the weak. But Donny didn't say anything, nor hold any hard feelings. He hated people who spoke like Akihito, but Donny also had to accept that the world was not kind nor accepting. That was something Donny knew all too well. If Donny was serious about becoming a hero, he needed to be able to get over his hang ups and become better than who he was right now. Easier said than done of course. But at least Donny knew what he had to do.

As everyone left to get changed, Donny too left and hyped himself up quietly enroute. [color=firebrick]"Stick to your strength Donny boy. Stick to your strength... You can't be afraid of your own power. C'mon, c'mon!"[/color] He felt a bit pumped. He wanted to try his best and keep his true form hidden, but again Donny knew that holding back because of his own issues would only make him a liability. When he came to this school he promised himself that he'll get over it. And he will, no matter what. Once Donny reached his locker he looked at his gym clothes. Sure enough they were a perfect fit; XXXL shirt and pants. Even had a belt. It felt heavier than his uniform, but probably because it needed to hold up to rigorous activity. Hopefully it'll stay in one piece if Donny changed to his true form. It should, as his meat bag was also dressed with whatever fits, and he really didn't want to ruin his new clothes.

After getting dressed Donny took the long walk to the Training Ground Echo. It appeared to be under construction, either artificially or literally. Donny imagined that Komei Academy made a simulated construction site, as it'll be very expensive to ruin a building they're actually trying to complete. Then again... Mr. Akihito did say he was given free reign on how he teaches his class. There's a very real possibility that he intends to have everyone take part of a battle here as a two part lesson. [color=firebrick]"Yeah.... Being a hero isn't just about being good at fighting, but also taking account collateral damage and stuff. I'm sure there's lots of heroes who have powers that could destroy entire city blocks but that'd be counter productive of being a hero. Villains may take up residence in places like this just to dissuaded a hero from going all out, less he cause more damage than the villain would've. It's tricky but completely expected. Whatever I'm doing here I'll have to be careful. Take advantage of my surrounding, but try to minimize the destruction."[/color] Donny gulped and looked around. He would try to find somewhere that seem stable enough to fight at, as well as places that seem on the verge of breaking down to either avoid or exploit.
