[i][color=999999]Well, that sucked.[/color][/i]

But, she reflected as she walked quickly down towards the front of the hall, at least it had sucked [i]successfully.[/i] She'd done what she wanted to do, which was to draw eyes; hence the stares she could practically [i]feel[/i] still burning into her back. Burning into, warming; they were the same thing in the end, right? 

As she continued roughly shouldering her way through the crowd, she passed by Tentacles and a few others talking, though she couldn't hear what about over the noise of the hall. She sighed quietly. She'd made an enemy already. God. [i]God,[/i] she hated this, and she hated how much she craved it. A small, bitter smile came to her face. It was almost funny in a mundane kind of way, wasn't it? Here she was at a [i]hero school.[/i] A really [i]good[/i] hero school, too. One of the best in the entire country, where she could eventually learn to help people, most especially by way of her Quirk. After all, a hero without a Quirk wasn't much of a hero at all.

So in a place designed around working with Quirks, wasn't it funny how much she hated hers? It almost made her laugh. 

Or, no. She didn't [i]hate[/i] her Quirk, not really. Otherwise she really [i]wouldn't[/i] have come to Ishin. What was the...ah. That was it. She didn't hate her Quirk. She [i]resented[/i] it. Perhaps she wasn't mad [i]at[/i] it, but she was definitely mad [i]about[/i] it, that it had been inflicted upon her. And as she walked by the crowds of people with their multiple arms, metal hands, and [i]cat heads apparently,[/i] she did laugh. Quietly, but not [i]too[/i] quiet; rather, just loud [i]enough.[/i] 

[i][color=999999]No one here knows what it's like, huh?[/color][/i] 

Good for them. That sucked too.

Ah, there we go. Right up front, row second to the front. Perfect. She plunked herself down in the chair, distractedly fiddling with a strand of her hair. She was surrounded by people on all sides now. No way it'd go unnoticed if she disappeared. She felt the tension in her stomach unknotting as much as it ever could. There. Safe.
