Donny was never good at talking. (Un)Fortunately for him, the thieves didn't want to talk either. He had expected them to run, not throw a garbage dumpster at him. The one in the blue hood picked it up like it was a brick and hurled it at Donny before he could close in, forcing him to hit the ground so the dumpster would slam into the alley walls. When Donny was up again, the blue hooded man tried to slam his huge guitar case into Donny. In a moment of panic Donny did what Donny does, and part of his body ate through his meat bag and bit into the guitar case, holding it in place. This surprised the hooded figure. 

"Get out of here!"

The other thief ran for it while Donny tried to finish eating the case, but the blue hood jumped back and secured it. He scowled at Donny. "What sort of monster are you?" This annoyed Donny, but he didn't say anything. There were a few people who heard the commotion and were cautiously looking into the alley. Already there was talk of calling heroes or police to investigate. [color=firebrick]"I-I-I just wanted me wallet back... G-G-G-Give up and there w-won't be any t-t-t-trouble!"[/color] Donny was trying to be intimidating, however him trying to hide the gaping hole in his chest and his stuttering just made the blue hoodie laugh. "Give up? Sod off with that noise. Cides, I don't run from a fight. I don't know what you are, monster, but you'll just be a stain by the time I'm done."

Opening the guitar case revealed that the blue hood was not carrying a guitar, but some sort of massive serrated cleaver. It looked like something you'd use to hunt giant monsters, and Donny swore he actually saw such a weapon in a video game before. It would've been funny if this guy wasn't wielding it with ease despite it's size, and the fact he's going to use it against Donny. Donny hoped that maybe in such an enclosed space he'd have a hard time swinging it, but those hopes were dashed when he lunged forward and swung that massive blade in a wide horizontal arc, cleaving through the brick buildings that would've normally caught the sword. [color=firebrick][i]"Shit! He must have some sort of super strength!"[/i][/color]

Meanwhile the thief had managed to get herself a fair bit away, but stopped to hide behind an AC unit and watch the fight. Despite her orders, she didn't leave the mysterious blue hooded figure. Considering her outfit, she was likely trying to emulate him in some fashion, or perhaps it was a uniform for a gang. Either way she watched from afar, partly to watch his back, but mostly out of concern. "Please be careful...."

There was some heated arguing between the Support Members up until Hitomi began to speak. Even if some didn't like her going to the hero course, they did seem to hold enough respect to stay quiet when she was talking. A few of the support students rode off the statement made by Hitomi, a few begrudgingly seeing some use in it, however there was still a few who were vocally against it. After the chatter died down one of the support students, a student whom Hitomi may recognize as one of the more combative types who wanted in on the Hero Course, stood up and spoke. "Isn't this idea basically what Internships are going to be? Or rather, a watered down version of it? Why play pretend about trying to be a hero agency when we will actually be working with real hero agencies later in the year? Even support classes are eligible for internships." Another who was on the fence about the idea nodded her head and leaned forward, looking at everyone. "He makes a good point. While I do like the idea of the Komei Collective as maybe a lesson plan or perhaps a bit of a collaborative activity between the classes, ultimately it's practicing for internship. Again, might be a good lesson for a month or so, but I can't see it as a practical long term arrangement."

It was then that Asari spoke up, raising his hand to call everyone to his attention. "It's true that what is intended with the Komei Collective is similar to what we can learn through Internship, the differences are still major. Internship is merely shadowing and taking in the experience of working alongside hero agencies, occasionally with the chance to prove one's worth to other heroes. But at the same time, we're all still children in their eyes. No matter how competent or mature we can or seem to be when it comes to serious work they'll side-line us for other professional heroes inside or outside of their own agencies. Not to mention this goes further beyond just Internship, but again starting our own agencies. Most heroes start out working alongside other heroes to build their reputation and support. But through the Komei Collective, we can establish the support base within before becoming pros. And just being in Komei and participating in school activities like the Sport's Festival or even the Komei Collective, we'll build our reputation before we graduate."

Though Asahi's speech was passionate, there was still a notable resistance in a few others. While a little over half were supportive of the idea, there was still a notable four of the Support class who were against the idea. That being said, the one representative from Generals hasn't spoken up yet and seemed to just be observing the conversation. He was so far undecided and hasn't spoken yet, and Asahi was mainly conversing with the Support Representatives trying to sway them over to the idea of the collective.
