Enclosed in his office, Mr.Hisakawa had been shuffling through student forms and reviewing their skills. There has been a few transfer students who had quite the interesting quirk that is certainly fit for heroing. The principal tapped his foot looking at his watch seeing it was about 8 o’ clock. The reminder that class the hot blooded class 1-A would be having another exercise again made his smirk a bit. Another opportunity to see what the class is capable of and another chance to test some freshman who did not quite make it in the entrance exams. The old man opened his drawer and pulled out a turquoise binder, upon opening it on the front page was a student info sheet with a small picture in the upper right corner. As he slid the paper out he chuckled to himself.

[color=92278f]“Let's see what you are capable of Ms.Mamoru”

At the same time, in a different part of the building, the class of those that tried their best but did not quite make it into the hero course, the general education class, assembled in their own room already prepared to face another day at the academy. While being part of this class, or rather, being accepted into this class meant no shame at all, a particular student, Ruby Mamoru, was more than disappointed with the position she was in. After all it was the hero course which she so desperately wanted to become a part of. She couldn’t explain to herself why she failed, she just didn’t understand how she managed to fail the entrance exam which she had prepared for so much. Thus there she was, in the back of the class, staring out of the window. The only reason why she applied for general education was that she knew that in some rare occasions, exceptional students were allowed to move up into hero course. This was the last bit of hope she could hold on to, and the girl with the feline features surely wouldn’t let this small chance escape her grasp.

Arising from his seat, Mr.Hisawkawa read the homeroom of the student in which he was on his way to retrieve. 
 
[color=92278f]“Class 1-C”[/color] he said under his breath, Ruby Mamoru had failed the exam. It's not so much as that she did not deserve the pass more so that the task did not fit her skill set as nicely as the other candidates. As he arrived at the classroom he placed the paper back in the turquoise binder and opened the door.

[color=92278f]“Sorry to intrude but I hope you don't mind if I steal Ruby Mamoru?”[/color] the man said with a jolly smile as he scanned the room for his target. Finally he had found her in the back of the classroom, once he saw her he didn't break eye contact. 

Without any warning, even though the class was just about to begin, someone that could potentially change Ruby’s future entirely. At first the girl did not pay much attention, thinking it was just another student that was maybe a little too late. However, when she second guessed that thought, knowing that everyone was there and heard her own name, her feline ears perked up and she looked at the man who was already focusing on her. It was the principle himself! Gravity Yarl! She had heard many stories about this hero before, but seeing him in person again is quite a sight. Ruby herself didn’t reply to what the principle said, after all it was the teacher who would have to let Ruby go out of the room. The girl herself never broke eye-contact with Mr.Hisakawa, she was too intrigued by this man to back down. While there could be many reasons as to why he would call her out quickly, for now Ruby only thought it would be something small, something trivial. Surely it would not that important... 

The teacher looked at Mr.Hisakawa a little confused, finally moving his lips. [color=7bcdc8]“Y-Ye-Yeah that's fine go ahead”[/color] with a hint of nervousness in his voice. Upon the green light the principal signaled for the girl to come along.

[color=92278f]“Gather your belongings Ms.Mamoru and we shall be off”[/color]

Ruby was a bit surprised as she heard the principle tell her to ‘gather her belongings’, but without questioning it much she moved the few things she had on her table back into her bag and then stood up. Of course, now she was a little bit nervous about what he had to say to her. In any case, having the principle himself take her out of the class like that, with her bag and everything meant serious business and Ruby was well aware of that. However, she also knew that she had to make a great impression. Therefore she quickly stood up, her tail swaying slightly from left to right and showing her true mood, Ruby bowed slightly to the teacher and said [color=a187be]“Excuse me please.”[/color] Before she walked through the door and followed the principle wherever he would head to. A rather neutral impression was implanted on her face as she did so.

He kept his smile as the young lady packed her things and followed him.[color=92278f] “You must be wondering why exactly I might've pulled you from class so early, I have a simple question for you”[/color] the principal stopped and pivoted his body towards the girl. 

[color=92278f]“What does being a hero mean to you exactly?”
[/color]
Indeed, Ruby was wondering why the principle had pulled her early from class. After all it must be quite the important reason! Thus, when they stopped, Ruby turned her body to face the pro hero and looked him into his eyes as he asked the question. A hero? This was a tough question. After all, the reason why the girl aspired to become one was because of her parents. But of course, her parents have told her many many times about how awesome it is to become a hero and what a great honor it would be. Therefore she was sure she could answer this question well. 

[color=a187be]“A hero…should always protect those in need. It is not about beating up villains everyday, it is about helping others. Being a pro hero… is a great honor. That is why I enrolled at this academy.”[/color] and with that Ruby pushed her chest forward confidently. 
[color=a187be]“A hero is the embodiment of everything good in this world. A true hero does what is right and doesn’t take what he has for granted. Simply put… a hero needs to be truly heroic!”[/color]

As the girl gave her explanation the principal smirked, once she was finished he began chuckling and turn around. [color=92278f]“It is a great honor yes, but with that comes a great responsibility. The decisions you make leaves a lasting effect on the population whether they are good or bad”[/color] the man said wagging his finger.

[color=92278f]“I like your answer and attitude so I have a proposition for you. But I might already know what you will say… class 1-A are about to conduct a training exercise. Showcase what you have to offer and I’ll consider a transfer, some of class 1-A may have already seen what you have to offer already.”[/color] It was quite the sight, he didn't even ask her if she was still interested in being a hero but she had her answer ready. 

[color=92278f]“If you want to shoot your shot head over change out into your gym uniform and make your way over to training grounds beta, if you need some gear then Arsenal can assist you with that, he is in the gym.”[/color] The man glanced at his watch, [color=92278f]“if you leave right now for the exercise you can just make it before it starts”[/color] the man said with a smirk. 

[color=92278f]“Now what choice shall you make” [/color]

By the time the principle had asked that question, Ruby was almost already on the run. This was the rarest of all opportunities, a direct chance given by the principle himself! The girl knew she had no time to waste at all. As she had already turned her body and began to run towards the nearest staircase, she quickly shouted back [color=a187be]“Thank you so much! I will not disappoint you!”[/color] the feline girl said with a confident voice. When the principle made the proposition that she was allowed to prove herself, Ruby’s eyes had opened quite widely in shock. However, now there was no time to slack. Such a chance… she was sure to take it. 

As fast as she could the girl ran down the path towards the gym. This was the moment she could truly prove herself, this exercise was sure to show her true skills as a hero! 

Inside of the gym Ruby immediately asked for a gym uniform. Since she was not part of the hero course, Ruby was not allowed to have a costume yet, or rather they did not make one yet. Furthermore, when talking to Arsenal however, she learned that the sword she had ordered while signing up had arrived. The sword itself had a sharp blade, however the blade itself was rather wide so the other side could be used as a blunt weapon too. At the end of the sword’s handle, a rather long 10 feet long and 4 inch wide piece of cloth was secured tightly and wrapped around it, ready to be released similarly to a cape at any chance. (For reference, check the character picture in the CS tab where she holds out her sword). On top of that Ruby furthermore asked for a cloak, one that was able to cover her whole body and naturally included a hood too for her head.

Once she received her equipment, Ruby secured sword behind her back knowing full-well that with her own sword she could give her best. After all, there was no way she would be giving any less than 100% during this ominous “exercise”. Even though her cloak was improvised compared to the costume she wished for, together with her sword she felt comfortable and capable. After all, adaptability and feeling confident is an aspect that every hero needed to have! Furthermore, Ruby dressed herself in the brown-ish cloak, it was at least some substitute for her costume. Once she had secured everything tightly, the catgirl thanked Arsenal and then continued her way her destination. 

[color=a187be]“Beta…. Beta…. Where is beta!”[/color]

Ms.Mamoru sighed out in frustration until she finally discovered where her location was. As if stung by a bee she started her quick pace again, arriving shortly at her destination. Deep down inside of her Ruby prayed that she would make it in time, collecting her gear took some time after all.

The old man just laughed to himself as the young lady took off. [color=92278f]“Ahh, the burning youth is quite a sight to see.”[/color] In the meantime while ruby prepared, Mr.Hisakawa took care of the things behind the scenes by giving Mr.Yoshida a heads up on the new challenger. He briefly spoke with L guardian while he made his way over to training ground Beta to meet up with Ms.Mamoru and instruct her on the exercise as well as her teammates.

Soon enough she would arrive at the gate to the arena, just slightly out of breath as her eyes spotted the principle. Her makeshift costume sure looked weird, a cloak that covered her whole body together with a hood and that weird-looking sword with the cloth at the end. Once she had arrived, the girl was quick to spot the same person who had sent her here: the principle. 

[color=a187be]“Mr. Hisakawa!”[/color]
The catgirl said while standing in front of the pro hero. “I am ready now. Ready to take my chance.” She didn’t wear her hood currently, it was following down on her back. Since this cloak wasn’t specifically made for her it didn’t consider her cat-ears which is why it was rather uncomfy to wear. 

The principal has his hands on his hips with a smirk. He felt rather bad he didn't get ruby sooner, [color=92278f]“Sorry for not informing you sooner, if I did you wouldn't have had to rush”[/color] the man said scratching his cheek. [color=92278f]“Anywho, the exercise you will take part in today is a game called king of the hill. 5 teams will battle to secure one point. The team you are on is team C with a few other transfers as well.”[/color] Mr.Hisakawa pulled up a map of the training grounds on his own multipurpose device to show the young lady.

[color=92278f]“They only left a couple minutes ago so you should be able to catch up in no time, it seems as though team C’s starting area is not too far off. Are you ready to go?”[/color] The man said as a black and purple ball of energy began floating around the two.

Very carefully she listened to his explanation, her ears were twitching every now and then. When he was done she was still looking at the map, trying to remember everything significant that she could spot there. After a short moment, once she realized that he was about to get her inside, she quickly looked him back into his eyes. 

[color=a187be]“How do I win? When is the point… secured?”[/color]

[color=92278f]“The point is secured and won when your team is either the last one standing or has asserted dominance over the point longer than the other teams when time runs out”[/color] as he spoke the two began to feel weightless as gravity was reversed, they were soon floating a few feet above the ground.

With a rather absent look Ruby stared on the floor for a second. [color=a187be]“Last team standing huh…”[/color] 
She murmured to herself before both began floating off the ground. The feeling was both unique and weird, but Ruby was too busy being amazed over being shocked. While she wasn’t saying it out loud, she was thinking ‘Gravity Yarl… a pro hero… it is quite amazing’. 

However, once she had regained her train of thoughts the student looked right back at her principle with a typical determined expression. [color=a187be]“I am ready to prove myself worthy to be in the hero course Mr. Hiwakawa!”[/color] she said right into his face. It was the passion inside her that was speaking in her place, it was as if a fire had lit up inside of her body, one that was ready to fulfill her wish and that of her parents, one that would not rest until she had accomplished her goal. Finally, after failing the exam initially, she had a new perspective! A new opportunity! Her tail was swaying wildly below the cloak out of sheer happiness.

Mr.Hisakawa smiled, [color=92278f]“Alright then off we go to meetup with Team C”[/color] he said as the two begin moving forward at a steady yet speedy pace. They would reached their mark in about a minute and 30. As they flew they could see the lush greenness and smell the fresh air that was home to training ground Beta. Soon the group of four would come into view. [color=92278f]“This seems like your stop, those are your teammates right over there”[/color] he said with a smirk as his speed began to slow down as the two began to lower onto the ground. Mr.Hisakawa lowers the young lady softly before taking his leave. [color=92278f]“Good luck to you all Ms.Mamoru and Team C, I will be watching”[/color] the man waved before flying off.

Ruby nodded to the principle one last time and then turned towards her team. She took her time to inspect each member, and surely enough; just looking at them showed Ruby that she was now playing in an entirely different league. As she approached them Ruby bowed down formally, her tail staying still beneath the coat while her ears were perked up in attention.
