Today is your first day at Matsubara High. Luckily for all who enrolled in the Hero class, that's your first class of the day today. Ms. Mako is sitting at her desk. She's already been here for half an hour, looking after her notes. This isn't just your first day. This is new for your teacher too.

Akane was glad she'd been able to decide her curriculum, but having notes left over by the previous teacher certainly helped. That said, towards the end, it was clear to see the former teacher had given up and the classes had gone from 'How to be a famous Hero' to 'How to be a cop'. She'd change that. These kids wanted to be Heroes, and that's what she was going to teach them to be. She wanted them to be successful. She wanted members of her class to reach the single digit ranks. Some newspapers had speculated she'd try to sabotage them because she was a Villain, but nothing could be further from the truth. She knew the value of Heroes, even to Villains. Maybe some of them wouldn't admit it, but the difference between a criminal and a Supervillain, was a good Hero. And in Mako's experience, good Heroes were getting rarer and rarer as the gap between the top ten and the rest widened.

She looked at the clock. Her students would be arriving soon.

Nadeko called the guard over, by waving her arms. She didn't have to wait long. Her arms were eyecatching. He took her ticket, and put it through the barrier. She thanked him, and then boarded the train. Today was her first day at a Hero school. Her parents still weren't completely on board with the idea. The fact her mom had to help her put on her uniform really wasn't painting a picture of competent Hero material. But Nadeko knew she had power, and potential. She was going to become a symbol of inspiration to all other mutant quirk users, to show them that they can. They're not disabled. 

There was nowhere to sit on the train, so she had to stand. As she couldn't grip the bars, she put the and of her arm against one and used the tiniest bit of attraction. Just enough to keep her steady as the train turned round corners, or slowed down. An older businessman in a suit grabbed the same railing, and there was embarrassing clink as his wristwatch stuck to the pole. Nadeko blushed, and turned her magnet off.

[color=dd445e]"Sorry,"[/color] she apologised meekly. The businessman, looked like he was about to say something, then saw her ams and shut up. There is was, being treated like she was disabled again. Still, it had its perks. Though using your quirk in public is against the law, mutants are by and large excempt from it as you can't 'stop using' a mutation. If people hadn't assumed Nadeko couldn't control the magnetism of her magnets, she'd have been in a lot of trouble by now, but most times it was her only way to interact with objects.

The rest of the trip happened without incident. Nadeko changed her shoes at the locker room, and then headed for the Hero class. She still didn't know what to make of a Villain teaching it, but surely they wouldn't have let it happen if she wasn't going to do a good job. She opened the door by pushing down in the handle, and stepped inside.

[color=dd445e]"Ohayo gozaimasu!"[/color] she announced.

[color=844E7A]"Morning, Maeda-san,"[/color] Mako replied cheerfully, with a bright smile and closed eyes, looking much more like a chipper secretary than an ex-criminal. [color=844E7A]"Please, take a seat anywhere you like."[/color]
