Nadeko stared at him for a beat or two, before suddenly giggling to herself. "Slow down there, Romeo! And you told me that just talking to people might be jarring for them! Listen, you seem pretty nice, so let's actually become friends first, okay? I'd take the offer to meet up but I've got to get straight to my parents and tell them how my day went. They'll be worried if I'm late, and I, uh, can't use cellphones. They don't play well with magnets, and they have touch screens and stuff. We'll arrange something in advance another time, okay? Anyway, see you in class!"

And with that, Nadeko got up to leave.

DAY TWO

Hero class for day two was the last class of the day as opposed to the first. With a long second day of Math, Japanese, Science, Home Ec and other assorted classes, the class was probably drained at this point. Mako had accounted for this, and as the class filed in, she was smiling her foxlike smile as usual, and greeted every member of her class who walked in and took their seat. Once everyone was seated, she began.

"Now, I had thought about doing a more theory-based lesson about morality and duty, but as you've had a long day and are probably quite mentally drained, I decided to do something a little more fun and practical. As you know. This was once a serious dedicated large Hero Academy, so while the old Hero training facilities are out of date and in need of repair, we nonetheless have them at our disposal. So I thought why not do a good old round of Heroes vs Villains? This exercise seemed to be popular with previous Hero classes here. Now, instead of let you assign the teams, or assign you based on what I think you'd be good at," Mako briefly glanced at Junko, "I've decided to assign you Hero or Villain based on what I think you could gain from or learn from more. Or at the very least which one won't make any bad habits worse.

So, here's the Hero team; Alice Nova, Maeda Nadeko, Kaijiwara Homura, Hana Saki, Donny Yang and Kurowai Junko. I have chosen this team because I think you would have more to gain from being heroic and virtuous than by simply trying to win a competetive exercise. I want you to remember that. This exercise, for your team, will be scored not only by if you win, but how you win.

Here is the villain team; Carol Tennebalm, Yozakura Yukari, Dulga Tatara, Nakamiji Acion, Majima Kouji and Katō Emiho. If any of you are wondering why I chose you for the villain team, well, some of you need a little push in confidence. Others might benefit from getting their hands dirty or getting a taste for the bad guy's perspective so you can perhaps empathise in the future. This team will simply be playing to win.

Now, are there any questions? If not, change into your gym gear and we will all meet up at the old 'Cityscape' training ground. It's hard to miss. It's behind the gym and looks like an atom bomb went off in one of U.A's training grounds. Also a lot smaller than one of theirs. It...should...be safe enough. I'll go over the rules once we're all set."

No no, it's not two posts after mine. It's two posts after yours. That's what the two post buffer means. And it's been a lot more than two posts since your last post so you're all clear.

My Hero Academia: Raw Potential

@vancexentan

Yeah, you can reply now. The two post rule just means to have two posts between your last post and your new one. The post you're replying to can be one of these.

@vancexentan

Sorry for the wait! Also just to let you know that there will be a skip tomorrow to day 2

"You have a point there," Nadeko replied, after Kou's remark that some of the classmates were still adjusting. "But it's usually pretty easy to spot the ones who won't appreciate being brought out of their shell. Besides, even they'll want friends. And yeah, the teacher wasn't...quite what I was expecting. But I'm optimistic. She at least lay down the law when that girl went crazy with the fake knife. I wonder what we'll be doing tomorrow."

She checked her phone briefly, and tutted. "Lunchtime's nearly over already. I have history next. What about you?" she asked.

Location: Danger Room - 9am

Making her way to the Danger Room after completing a long series of pre-workout stretches, Heidi was mulling of the fact that had continue to gnaw at her mind for several days. She didn't remember what happened a few nights ago. She think a club may have been involved, and she'd considered the possibility of alcohol giving her a normal memory just for one night. But there were two things that went against this. One was that she could remember every second of her life pre-mutation when she would have had an ordinary mind. Even her infancy. The second was that the night directly after, she remembered remembering, in perfect detail the events of the night that was so hazy now. And she couldn't even recall the memories from the memories of her remembering them, which defied all other explaination.

At some time between the night at the beach and the day after, somebody was tampering with her memories. And it wasn't just her. Heidi had talked to people about it and nobody could remember the night. Nobody else thought this strange, and it could just still be coincidence, but Heidi was sure now. Somebody wanted everyone who was at that Club to forget about that night. She couldn't even remember which club anymore. And no google searches for Clubs in this city on that night yielded any results. Heidi wondered if it could be connected in some way to Professor Pierce's absence or Ashford's business trip, but that was getting into the realm of conjecture and paranoia. There was no proof to give credence to any of the many, many possibilities Heidi could imagine.

Due to her stretches, Heidi was last to the Danger Room entrance. Ronnie was among the other students there. Heidi wondered if she should have told her more, now that she can no longer remember herself. But would Ronnie's memories then also be affected? Heidi could never know now, and there was no point in regretting her secrecy, or her reasons for it, which as a result of being a product of the night's events, Heidi also found hazy. Her roommate Jasper was also there. Heidi gave her a silent nod from the back of the group where she stood, until they were let into the Danger Room.

There was a long period of silence once they were inside, until Heidi caught some of the students appear to be concentrating. Then she realised it wasn't silence at all. Had...had they forgot? It was possible. She scanned the roof until she spied a camera, then looked directly at it and gestured to her ears with an apologetic look on her face.

Then again, maybe she didn't need it. The Danger Room turned into a desert landscape, five lockers appeared, and in the distance a building appeared, with a flag at the top of it. This didn't take a detective to figure out. They were to put their bags in the lockers, and head to the building. It was capture the flag. The only question now was whether they were working as a team, or working against each other. She saw Ronnie ask a question, and realised that at some point, the tannoy must have asked if there were any questions. Heidi spoke up as she put her bag in the locker marked with her name.

"Is this a group exercise where we fight drones or another obstacle? Or are we competing with each other?" she asked and hoped they had a non-audio answer for her this time.

@Bloopie

Sorry. We're not accepting any more players right now, I'm afraid.

My Hero Academia: Raw Potential

@alexfangtalon

Accepted!

@alexfangtalon

I'm not even sure what I could ask to clarify that quirk. I think I might have to see it in action to truly get it. Sorry this is taking so long. Mel hasn't had time to check out your CS properly either.

Also @vancexentan really really really sorry! Tomorrow I'll be back at my own flat, and I'll be able to make a post. I thought I'd be able to get a chance while I'm at my mom's but no such luck. Every evening, my head hasn't been clear enough.

Also also, I plan to skip to day 2 this weekend sometime. Just to let everyone here know.

Natalie was glad she chose to wear high-top leather boots on this occasion, as she followed the group through the sewers. She might be thankful for them if they had to trudge through deeper water. "If they haven't definitely already noticed, we have Cara to think for that," she stated in response to Packet, before narrowing her eyes. "It would have been nice to know there might be escaped prisoners down here. Wouldn't have changed anything. It would have just been nice. I...don't have good memories of that day."

Natalie was quiet and slightly sullen for the next couple of seconds and she listened to Archie and Packet. She was snapped out of this by the tone of their voices. Packet was confused that the tunnels were different to his maps. "Packet, where did you get this map from? Please say it wasn't directly from Cara. It makes sense that the Promise's network might have a false map as a security measure, but if Cara gave you the map..." Natalie didn't finish the sentence. It was clear what she was implying. Natalie actually had some trust for Cara. She didn't want it to be broken. Even with a different starting point, something as major as a split in the path shouldn't have taken Packet by surprise like this. The Map was surely a dupe.

Archie and Packet were bickering, which Natalie wouldn't have found unusual but it seemed...odd. The aggression was sudden. It didn't feel like it had boiled over from a long time of frustration and it definitely didn't feel in character. They were just suddenly snippy with each other to the point of being contrarian. To make matters worse, Lynn said she saw something behind them. Natalie looked back herself, but couldn't see anything in the dark. Of course she could imagine sinister figures lurking out of sight ready to harm her, but that was nothing new. Ever since she was picked up from the side of the road covered in blood a few months ago now, she'd been having that feeling. She'd gotten good at ignoring it.

"Gus! Stop arguing What's gotten into you two? Anyway, if the map didn't have a split here and we're already two votes to go right. I vote we go right. We need to move, and any direction's the wrong direction now. We can't rely on a map we can't trust. Let's go!"
