As the break came to an end, so did Alice's lone-time. Hearing the bell which signaled the students to return to their classrooms made her get up practically immediately which was followed by her crushing the now empty box of orange-mango juice and neatly disposing of it in the trashcan next to the bench she was sitting on just a moment ago. While having conversations with people was nice and she had enjoyed meeting both Acion and Donny a little more closely than simply superficially, Alice still needed to be alone for a more or less equivalent amount of time just to refuel some of that social energy. There was enough left in the tank to get through the rest of the day. 

And exactly that is what Alice did, sitting through the remainder of classes which were still due that day. Since it was the first day, none of them were particularly special, yet Alice still did her best to give a solid first impression to all of her teachers. After all, she was used to being somewhat of an honors student in prior educational institutions, which meant that the opinions of her teachers mattered quite a lot to her.
At the end of the day, the owl was satisfied with her experience and behavior on the first day. Contrary to what she was used to, she was even able to socialize with some of her fellow hero-course students. Having enjoyed her first day at this new school, Alice could sleep particularly well that night- Or rather the small portion of the night where the nocturnal hero-student was actually able to get some sleep in- and was looking forward to the next day.



On the next day, most classes would resume as normal with nothing noteworthy to mention. Alice paid attention during the classes, took notes, and participated in the lessons. Pretty typical nerd-stuff, so it is not exactly worth mentioning here. 
The [i]interesting[/i] part came once it was finally time for the most extraordinary of classes: The hero class, duh.

And just on the second day, another quite taxing exercise was proposed, or rather, announced by their lovely teacher, the ex-villain.
A fight between heroes and villains with both sides being played by the future-heroes. Quite an interesting idea and Alice was glad to be on the hero team, rather than the villain team. While she was able to see the benefit of gaining insight into the villain's perspective, being a hero just seemed a lot more appealing. After all, they were in the [i]hero[/i] class for a reason! 
Sadly, the teach did not provide any additional information about what the actual task would be or how one could successfully "win" this exercise. This was particularly annoying for Alice since she couldn't really think of any strategy while getting changed into her gym clothes for the upcoming task. Therefore, with no clear strategy in mind, Alice had to approach the situation fairly unprepared. She hoped that talking to her heroic teammates could maybe give rise to some strategies on how to take down those villains.

When the owlish girl finally arrived at the site she took a good moment to take in the view. The buildings themselves spoke a story of a training ground which was once used often and successfully to train heroes. Nowadays, however, it was quite in ruins. The once so proud buildings partially collapsed, partially still functional from an outside perspective. It was an almost apocalyptic feeling, looking at the abandoned arena. An aesthetic which Alice found pleasing to some extent, although her mind had no time to dwell on that thought. Instead she was busy scanning the surrounding area for her co-heroes, her companions and teammates for the imposing exercise.
Having spotted Donny and Junko, Alice approached them confidently and began speaking with her usual quiet but polite voice. 

[color=0054a6]"Hello- I believe that we are teammates for the exercise."[/color]
Honestly, the two hero-team members so far (besides Alice) were also the weirdest one out of the entire class, based on a first judgement after the quirk presentation. Was... Alice considered to be weird too? While she meant no offense to her peers, she hoped she was not classified as an outcast by her teacher. However, besides that, Alice could certainly see why Donny and Junko were placed on the hero side. Having Junko act like a hero might be pretty difficult given her apparent quirk- And while Alice was glad to have Donny on her team, considering his strength, she wasn't quite sure how to apply him yet. Regardless, she already kind of saw her as the strategist of the team anyways so she was trying to think of strategies, even if that might have been a bit arrogant.

The opponents were nothing to take easy, though. Just Dulga and Acion already were quite the force to be reckoned with. Dulga was a monster in and on her own, but Acion would likely be Alice's key opponent anyways. She wondered if the main battle of hers would be a battle for air superiority with Acion. 
Oh well, for now she could do naught but wait and see while conversing with her teammates.
