"Do you really think this is advisable, Amaya?"

One girl's voice sounds out clearly above the bustle of the school crowds, commanding a sense of authority suited for one of her position. Suzuhara Suzuha, Captain of the Occult Research Club, stands half-facing a red-haired boy in the middle of the courtyard. A faint smile is visible on her face, firmly displaying an air of confidence and amusement at how things have turned out before her. The boy, Kazami Shouji, glared at her as if she was his mortal enemy, his hand clasped on the collar of his two-star uniform threateningly.

[center][i]"I love you, Suzuha-senpai! But...I...I want to join the student council! I want to lead my own club! I hate how you always soak all of our efforts and resources into silly, worthless research...so me and Ren are going to take you down, and take the captain spot for ourselves! Right, Ren!?[/i][/center]
As he calls out for his friend, another boy steps into the open circle surrounding the two. This youth's uniform shows only a single star, but his eyes are full of determination to help his friend, and he too seems ready to fight to make their dream happen...

"It doesn't seem to be anything I can say to stop you from going through with this, so I suppose I must do what I can to protect my position as Captain. It isn't something I'd like to do, but this is a wonderful experience in itself, isn't it?" Suzuha moves towards the center of the courtyard while she talks, hair waving in the wind as she casually fingers the stars on her collar and keeps her eyes trained on her underclassmen. Suddenly, as if something was different from before, the two boys scream and lunge forwards-

[center][i]"I'm sorry, senpai-" "-but, we have to do this! No matter what!"[/i][/center]

Ren, the boy clad merely in a one-star uniform, dashes forwards with his enhanced speed to try to attack Suzuha before she transforms. Meanwhile, Amaya mirrors his Captain's previous action and fingers the collar of his two-star uniform decisively. He doesn't simply announce his transformation, he yells it as loud as he could possibly manage, virtually exploding in fighting spirit as his uniform expands around him-

[center][i]"Esper Spec Two-star Goku Uniform- [u]FULL POWER[/u]!"[/i][/center]
The very air in the courtyard seems to heat up as Amaya's uniform manifests its full strength. While before he had simply looked like a bit of a delinquent, now his entire head seemed to have burst into violent flames, a pair of red-tinted goggles worn snugly over his blue eyes. Finger-less gloves and a red-lined trench coat were the defining features of his uniform, that and the fact that his head had been turned into a grinning fireball. Despite Ren's head start, he almost instantly closes the distance between him and his Club Captain, screaming her name as he brings his now-flaming fist backwards to strike her.

Despite the terrifying sight lying before her and multiple enemies rapidly closing in on her position, Suzuha's faintly glimmering expression doesn't change even in the slightest. Anybody watching would think that she was either a complete idiot, or that she knew something decisive that the crowd didn't. The answer to this question became evident in the instant before Amaya's flaming fists made contact. Her uniform, that had remained unchanged through the entirety of their short exchange, was glowing brightly now. Her lab coat fluttered in an unseen gale, and familiar glints of light seem to consume her body as she casually speaks her uniform's designation-

"Occult Spec Two-Star Uniform, [u]Deploying[/u]."

An explosion of light, followed by a gust of wind and static electricity. Using the split second during which everybody was blinded by the light of her transformation, Suzuha rapidly formulates the calculations necessary to erect a magical barrier, one strong enough to offset the incoming attack from her hotheaded underclassman. There's a second burst of wind and heat as Amaya's fists collide with his Captain's sudden barrier, flames suddenly bursting into existence all around them as the Pyrokinetic's powers take hold in the surrounding air. He knows his attack has failed, but he can't bring himself to back down now, even though he knows what was about to happen. In the last moment of his fight, he accepts the punishment for his attempted coup, and simply stands there as the smoke from his attack begins to clear...

Exposed to the watchful eyes of the now massive crowd, Suzuha's hastily erected barrier instantaneously shatters, but she knows that she has already bought herself enough time to prepare her counterattack. As the dust settles, the many no-stars and one-stars alike are given a chance to see what had caused the earlier explosion of light- A Two-Star uniform, worn by a Club Captain no less. A few people gasp, but not at the sight of her strangely revealing and shining magical-girl uniform. In her hand, a great glow of violet light seemed to be gathering, and her sparkling finger was pointed directly at her two assailants. More and more light gathers around her pointer finger, until it became hard to even make out her form behind the brilliant aura of energy. This attack could only be one thing, and a few Occult Research Club members in the club prepare themselves to yell out the attack's name when it finally finished preparing. Suzuha's mouth draws up into a slightly larger smile as her attack finishes charging, and she takes a moment to call out its name, as was formally required for such an attack-

"[u]MAGIC BUSTER[/u]!"

The crowd explodes into cheers, many savvy individuals calling out the attack's name with her as a massive ray of violet light swallows up her two underclassmen whole. The ground seems to shake with the awesome power of her attack, and most have to avert their eyes as the explosive shock wave of wind and heat erupt from the Buster's epicenter. The huge ray takes a few moments to die down in radiance, and by the time it's finished decimating the center of the courtyard, the two who dared stand in its wrath lay on the ground lightly smoking. They weren't dead, but the raw magical power had fried their body to the brink of death, knocking them unconscious and leaving many parts of their bodies exposed to the elements. Standing triumphantly in the center of the mess that had formed was her, the Magical Girl of the Occult Research Club, the girl who had never been defeated. The stars on her hat and thigh glint simultaneously in the sunlight, as if agreeing with the aura of power surrounding her in that instant. This was the Academy for the Life Fiber Compatible, where battles like this were almost commonplace, occurring a few times every week or so as an aspiring club leader challenged the top spot to further their position in the school's internal hierarchy...

"We really should be heading to class, don't you think? It would do nobody much good if you were to all be late for class, would it?"
