Quirk: Born to Run (Thunder Road)[/h3][/color][/center][hr]
Mari watched with rapt interest as her classmates demonstrated their quirks. Though she was put off by Tachibana Souta and Hayakawa Yasu's irreverent attitude to the exercise, she was impressed by Yutsuko Soga, Fujimori Haruka, Kaito Haruto, and Ito Kenji's demonstrations. They showed initiative and cooperation by forming teams. She was also inspired by their imagination in setting up elaborate situations. As for herself, Mari probably would have just asked for one dummy placed a the end so she could zoom over, pick it up, and carry it to safety, but now she was getting other ideas that could demonstrate her quirk to a fuller extent.

Yomodachi Azukina's admission to being the daughter of a pro-hero confirmed Mari's suspicions, and Mari wasn't sure how to feel about that. 
On the one hand, Mari wanted to dismiss it altogether since she felt she could prove that with enough hard work, privilege didn't matter. On the other hand, even though Mari had apologized to Sakimoto Hiroki, and intended to apologize to Azukina eventually, she still somewhat resented the fact that both of them knew more about professional heroics simply because of their background, and sort of came off as know it all's, as if they had somehow earned their privilege, that their advantages came from effort and hard work rather than dumb luck.

Mari shook these thoughts from her head. Wordlessly, she walked over to Goudo-sensei during the lull following World Tour's 'performance' and asked to use the control console. Given the dimensions of the gym at 200ft by 100ft, she had eight 'enemy' dummies appear in two columns of four on the right edge of the testing area, and one 'rescue' dummy at the far left corner. With this done, she turned and faced the rest of the class, standing straight and formal, almost military. [color=ffff00]"My name is Haruishi Mari. Because my demonstration will be very fast, my explanation will be a little long because you might not catch what is happening. My quirk is called 'Born to Run'. I can run, more-or-less effortlessly at 30mph. But I can also exert myself and enter a state I refer to as 'Thunder Road' to reach my maximum speed of 60mph. In this state, I release lightning from my back. Due to the danger this poses to civilians, I will run past the enemies on the right with Thunder Road, turn, slow down to 30mph, pick up the rescue dummy, and return here."[/color]

She headed over to the near-right corner and crouched down into a starting position. The enemy dummies were directly in front of her. Suddenly, Mari takes off, taking a second to ramp up to 30mph and covering 22 feet. Thunder blasts as she continues to accelerate and lightning begins to arc from her back, electrocuting every dummy she passes. In another 66 feet, she reaches top speed and begins to decelerate as she rounds the corner. In another second, she covers the 50 feet to the rescue dummy. By now, she's slow enough that there is no more lightning. She bends slightly to scoop the dummy into her arms, though it's less of a scoop and more of an ungraceful collision. Still, she manages to pick up the dummy, and maintaining her speed at 30mph, she makes it back to the rest of the class in 5 seconds. overall, her demonstration took about 8 seconds. Placing the dummy down, she bows to Goudo-sensei and returns to her place among the crowd, somewhat worried that she didn't do as good a job as she had planned.

[hider=tl;dr]Mari admires the teamwork of Soga and Koumori, and Haruto and Kenji, while disliking Yasu and Souta's attitudes. Azukina's admission to being the child of a pro gives Mari intrusive thoughts about the inherent unfairness of life. She sets up the field so that she can run a lap around the gym while electrocuting a group of enemies and picking up a civilian. She slightly fumbles the grab because she is traveling too fast. But she returns to her spot. She presents herself as stiff.[/hider]
