[center][b]Interacting With: [@Inkarnate][/b][/center]

Chen was so, so, bored. He sat up straight, didn't yawn, all the respectful things people expected you to do in society when important people were talking. But this speech was so boring! He said things that everyone knew, just getting accepted didn't guarantee his place, being a hero was about blah blah blah, no hand holding, did this guy like the sound of his own voice or what? He found much more interest in the girl who kept glaring over at him and tentacle girl, winking the moment their eyes met with a cocky smirk before focusing back on the dean. Now Chen didn't know much about this guy other than that he used to be a big shot hero before retiring, but damn did he strike an impression. If not with his words than with his mere presence, this was a guy that Chen did not want to ever disrespect.

The speech ran on for a few more minutes about basic stuff, dorms and the like. He briefly noted the glint of reflection off of the dean's glass, smiling at the thought of using a Quirk for something so mundane as chilling your drink. Not that he had never done it before whenever he needed to cut up an apple really quickly, might as well use the cutting Quirk for something right? Finally the speech began to wrap up, with the dean saying something somewhat interesting at the end.

Not for yourself but for the world huh? Chen almost felt tempted to snort at the statement. Why not give your best for yourself, you're the one making money off of your work, not the world. Although in a very roundabout manner you were making money for the world, but that was besides the point. The speech ended and people began to shuffle out with their pamphlets, Chen knew where his dorm was so there was really no need for them. Regardless, he took one and looked it over, not expecting much and not getting much. He passed by Yoshiba quietly, before stopping suddenly and looking over his shoulder at her with a blank expression. [color=gray]"You know Yoshi-tan, if you don't learn to loosen up you're not gonna last long as a person, let alone a Hero."[/color] It was said in a rather neutral tone, partly to tease her, but also as some friendly advice. No person could remain so stiff for so long, it wore down on you. Not that he knew anything about that, his life was pretty much dedicated to his amusement.

[color=gray]"Welp, I'll be seeing you around! Have fun!"[/color] And just like that Chen was back to his usual cocky self, whistling as he headed out the building and towards his dorm. What a fun year this was gonna be, fun fun fun. He was no longer looking at Yoshiba, instead focused on his pamphlet. Well, maybe he could get away with just a little more teasing.
