Mimi had only needed a few stitches and a pack of glucose, so after a quick healing quirk was used on her, she was pretty much back in near too condition. She had baked sweets for all the injured as a get-well gift. But she was hesitant about visiting each of them. She was feeling a little inadequate. In spite of her victory, she didn't put herself in danger. She called for help, forcing Ayame to handle a difficult opponent all on her own. She stopped fighting when her blood sugar was low, and left the clean up to Jet.
Yet Amaris sacrificed her own defenses to save Cupie, Yosuke decided to take a severe blow to counterattack. And Isamu actually blew himself up to save someone. That wasn't even to mention the entirety of the group sent to the subway.
While passing by, she heard a little bit of them being scolded for their recklessness, while she was being praised for smart decision making, and careful procedure. She was just doing what she was told though. Still, something felt off to her. She hadn't put herself at risk. It made her question her own ambitions. She hadn't found the same passion her classmates had.
"You seem deep in thought," Jets voiced from behind Mimi as the dragon had snuck up on her literally being right behind her as he glanced at her from the side observing her troubled facial expression. Clearly if one thing never did change about Jet was his lack of understanding of personal space.
"Also I would like to thank you. If you hadn't have stopped me during your pop attack I would have placed myself at an extreme risk trying to fight her close quarters," Jet explained as he placed an arm around her as he had seen a few of his classmates do with their buddies unaware that doing it to the opposite sex could give off a different formula of meaning.
"You definitely had my back, and I thank you for that. I know I can be rather hard to work with so I appreciate, and admire you for your display of skill. You definitely belong here in this class. I hope to see more of you in action. I could learn a lot," Jet expressed, giving a soft grin as he let her go finally.
"Did you want to talk about your troubles?"
Mimi turned to face the lizardman, not realizing just how close he was, until she was literally only an inch away from his face. She tried to create some space between them, but was quickly pulled in to him closer when he placed his arm around her, pulling her close to him again. She did appreciate the sensation. But it felt a little off right now. As if he really wasn't aware of what he was actually doing. She had learned that much watching him. But… Might as well make the most of the situation.
He went on to praise her, just like everyone else had been praising her. He told her she belonged in this class, just like everyone else had. Perhaps she should just listen to him. Listen to everyone. They apparently knew better than she did. When he asked if she wanted to talk about her troubles, Mimi looked away from him (not realizing she had been staring into his eyes the whole time).
"Everyone risked a lot today…"
"And you didn't," Jet asked rather blankly. "You went up against a villain well known to be to much for the pro hero White Wind to fight, and who wrecked both Aurora, and Kanna two of our biggest heavy hitters like they were nothing," Jet pointed out though strangely he wasn't scolding her or trying to throw down anymore compliments towards her. It seemed it clicked what her thoughts were rather quickly as he added.
"And when I got there you didn't back off, you swung full in doing way more damage than I did. You were calm throughout the whole fight even stopped me from risking myself at close quarters with her quirk. You put yourself at risk by using all you had to take her off guard, and placed complete trust in me to protect you without having much experience with me on the field," Jet spoke… between Mimi, and Heisuke he was really starting to talk a lot more.
"If that isn't taking a risk I don't know what is. I could have been ko'd in which you would have been harmed extremely from her rage. You tripped her up, and clearly that struck a chord with her," Jet finished patting Mimi's shoulders as he looked deep into her eyes.
"Risk is… well a risky business… people praise me for my fight with Kanna during the 1st year tournament, but i myself felt like a fool throwing my attacks around at her like a child throwing a tantrum," Jet spoke not sure where he himself was going with this until he notioned away from her eyes for a moment before going back into full eye contact. It seemed he came to a better thought.
"I am happy you trusted me enough to risk wearing yourself out. That you believed I could protect you," Jet spoke honestly feeling a bit odd placing that out there though honestly in the little time he had gotten to know her she was definitely someone he considered a friend nearing a closer friendship.
"Your important to this class Mimi don't sell yourself short cause you don't have a battle scar. Trust me, it's not a fun reminder," he spoke, lifting his shirt to show the scarring near his heart side of the chest where Mauve had impaled him.
Even him too. Mimi listened to Jett speak. He complimented her and praised her, and told her this was where she belonged. If everyone was telling her that, maybe she should just listen. When Jet told her battle scars weren't a great thing, and lifted up his shirt, her heart skipped a beat.
However she looked at the scar, and even reached out to trace get fingers along it. It was hard and callused like one would expect. She pulled away and looked back at him.
"That's what everyone tells me…" Jet had been speaking more than usual right now. It feels fair to give him the same kindness. "Everyone else is so passionate…"
"And so are you in your own way," Jet blushed for a moment when he felt Mimi's lingering hand not expecting to touch him so softly. With a small huff he pulled his shirt down his blush going away rather quickly as he smiled at her.
"When you have a chance we should train. I have yet to experience much team up battles so being in sync with you was a uniquely pleasant rush," he nodded, finally stepping out of her way.
"Yet I will bother you for that later you have snacks to deliver yes?"
Mimi hadn't looked into Jet's face causing her to miss the rare sight of him blushing, but as Jet kept talking, Mimi took a deep breath for a moment. Everyone was saying she was great. That she belonged here. That she was a great fit. And she didn't necessarily disagree. But still, she felt as if all she was doing was following along with what everyone else was telling her to be true.
And perhaps that wasn't so bad…
As Jet said he wished to practice more, he tacked on the extra part about being in sync. It made her happy to know that he enjoyed her company. Even if on the battlefield. But he really needed to work on his wording. She quickly scrawled a note on a piece of paper before running up to him.
"Jet.". She called out to him before pushing the note into his hand, and kissing him on the cheek. She quickly ran out of the dorm with her bag of treats for her injured friends.
The note had several cute doodles and scribbles of animals and lizards and cupcakes all hastily drawn. It also contained her phone number, but more importantly it read, Thanks for talking with me! I do feel a little better… (•^•) Text me when you want to train, or even talk, or do just about anything really.
P.S. Be careful of your actions or you may give some people the wrong impression. ("•×•").
Jet stood there watching for a moment as Mimi ran out the dorm frozen in place. Slowly his clawed hand raised to touch the cheek that Mimi had out of the blue kissed rather passionately. His tail swayed to and through processing all that had just happened as he looked down reading the note.
"Well… this is…. a development," Jet's blush came back in full as he pulled out his phone saving her number as he conserved the note into his backpack safely secured in his binder. Taking a deep breath as he calmed the strange feeling in his gut he headed up stairs to prep for his own trip to the medical ward to check on Yosuke, and Kanna. Seemed he had a lot to think about later… and definitely needed to see someone about what had just happened. Yet hilariously on his way up the stairs he surprisingly ran into one of the very people he was about to set off to meet.
"Yosuke? They let you out," Jet spoke rather surprised that his fellow classmate was already back to the dorms after what he had heard.
Yosuke was out and ready to get some food, really wanting something that wasn't hospital food. Then he saw Jet coming up the stairs. He seemed surprised by it. "Yeah. I might have been stabbed, but I had full control over what I was doing. My wounds weren't too severe. They only needed to keep me overnight for monitoring."
He looked at Jet, who seemed somewhat out of it, as if his mind was in a different place. "Everything alright buddy?"
"Yes. So hungry…. I'll make you something," Jet responded motioning Yosuke to follow him down stairs for a proper meal.
"So how was the hunt," Jet asked as he pulled out some beef, and rice.
Honestly, Yosuke wasn't sure if Jet was alright, but he was hungry. "I… You know what, sure." He followed Jet downstairs. And watched as he started prepping for cooking. However, he started asking about his hunt. Did he mean his mission?
"Um… I'm sorry Jet, are you stroking out? Or is it me? It could be me… No-no-no, something is up. What is going on with you?"
"Nothing Yosuke… more importantly drink," Jet spoke, handing Yosuke a protein drink that he had made a few days ago, preserving in case anyone needed help with their injuries on a nutrition level.
"So what happened," Jet asked, dodging Yosuke's question with little effort.
As Jet jammed the drink into Yosuke's face, he accidentally inhaled some of it forcing him to cough violently, which only made his wound hurt more. "Argh. Jeez, I think your lizard brain has finally taken over Jet. However, Jet still did not relent, asking Yosuke what happened.
He sighed heavily. "You know what? Fine. Octavia got mind controlled and started attacking me and offering to let me take advantage of her so I tried to incapacitate her, and in order to get close to do so I stabbed myself on her sword. And now, she hasn't spoken to me since.". He spoke without stopping until he took a deep breath to indicate he was done. "There I'm done, let stop dodging the question and tell me why you are so afraid to tell me what happened. You aren't exactly slick when you're trying to be."
"Drink," Jet expressed once Yosuke was done with his rant forcing him to engulf the nutrients his body needed to heal properly. While there were many healing quirks one had to take into account that would not always be the case hence they needed to get use to healing themselves through proper practice.
"I am sorry to hear that," Jet expressed with some concern as he started to heat up the oven to cook the meat while steaming some rice with a double pot. Making sure Yosuke drank all the nutrients Jet took the glass back he then offered Yosuke a banana.
"It's hard to accept failing someone," Jet oddly brought up as he came by with some medication, and a light pink drink.
"This will help your throat heal," he explained.
"Octavia just needs to think for a time. Just be there for her when she needs someone to lean on," Jet suggested as he started to work his magic on the food with his quirk multitasking with cutting chives, and stirring the rice as he himself cut the meat.
"I am not afraid just more… confused is all," Jet answered honestly without giving any detail on the supposed topic.
"I smell a strange air lately with society, and the heroism world," he spoke.
"I feel a sense of dread that things are about to turn hostile in ways more than one," Jet finished with a serious look as he continued to cook.
Yosuke was suddenly forced a banana, being told that it would be good for good throat. He didn't really like bananas, but he was starving. "Fine." He took a bite of the banana. "Buh Ay know somefing ish uph…"
He listened to Jet talk about his thoughts on the hero world. That there was unrest. It seemed this was a real concern is his. He doubted that it was what he was avoiding thus far, but it was still a serious topic. He swallowed the last bit of banana.
"So what?" Well serious to most. "I know what I want to do. Even if people hate my guts, I'm gonna keep going forward as a hero. If heroes are outlawed I'll yell from the rooftops that I'm here to stay. People can be calling me a crook or a danger to society. I'll still arrive to rescue them, dressed in my hero suit with a smirk on my face. Nobody will ever take that away from me." He could smell the food being prepared. He got up and stood beside Jet, grabbing a knife and a piece of twain used for cooking. "Let me help." He tied the knife rigidly against his finger, and pulled an onion to the side, chopping it up into perfect cubes at an impressive rate.
"Things are gonna be fine. That's because we're here to suffer the hardships."
"Just be careful," Jet motioned to Yosuke as he swung in to cut onions.
"A good gesture until we discover we are the endangered species perhaps," Jet nodded in argument with Yosuke though he did sound a bit dark in the endgame.
"I must ask, do you have a thing for Octavia?"
"I'll keep going even if I'm the last of my kind." He said with the same conviction from before. However, Jet quickly changed the subject to something else.
"Yeah. We actually went on a date together and it went really well! But I'm feeling like I'm not seeing everything she is. She always seems to close off before she really gets into the deeper parts. And it doesn't help that she gets me talking about myself, which I can do for hours and I just now realized I'm doing that again.". He looked back at him and pointed his knife finger at Jet. "I'm gonna get to the bottom of it."
"Of Octavia? That sounds like you're rushing it," Jet expressed not catching what Yosuke was actually speaking on.
"Very funny." He gave a Jet a sideways glance. He had already had a lifetime worth of sex jokes. "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about what you were avoiding a few minutes ago. But I won't press too hard. Some things aren't my business. Even if I really want them to be." He went into bell peppers, dicing them with the same deftness as the onions. "I'll let you of the hook for now."
"... A girl has shown interest in me," Jet spoke, deciding to give Yosuke a bone since he was helping out. With the ingredients now all together, and cooking Jet used his mist to pull up a chair for Yosuke.
"And I am still fresh off my rejection with Cupie," he explained why he wasn't really in the mood to talk, or rethink about it at the moment.
"Oh. I see. I didn't even know you had a thing for… Nevermind." It must have been that girl from the school fair. Yosuke couldn't remember her name, but the black hair and wings were definitely features he remembered.
"But I'm surprised you only just noticed. I mean it seemed like it should have been obvious at the school festival."
"Hm… your not wrong are you," Jet thought about it. Thinking about the time he tried out his butler pitch to Mimi later to discover it had apparently caused her to experience a nosebleed. That was a pretty strong sign… unless it was just a medical lack of sugar content, or iron proficiency.
"I should make her a protein iron meal, or maybe a shake concoction," Jet spoke out loud… maybe that would help with her nosebleeds. Or at the least help balance out all the sugar she intake on a daily basis. Once the rice was properly cooked Jet proceeded to cover it lightly in butter with salt to add an absorption of taste to the bowls he had placed out. Once they were cooled he started to place pieces of meat onto the bowls until the rice couldn't be seen. Letting them cool down for a moment he waited on the rice to absorb the juices from the meat. Then when all was done he topped it all with the vegetables Yosuke had helped prepped.
"So then you are experienced in this dating business yes? So what should I do to let her know i want to take it slow to make sure it can work out," Jet asked as he handed a bowl to Yosuke.
"Ditch the shake. And call it a nice dinner date." Yosuke said to him after hearing the strange Jet-ism he was spouting out. However, he quickly asked if he was experienced. To which Yosuke gave a huff of resignation.
"No, not really. I've been one only one date. And it did go well." He paused for a moment before sulking into his bowl and eating a few bites. "At least I thought it did…" He murmured into his utensils. "But, I can still help. For starters, don't go around being all flirtatious with other girls. You might not do it intentionally, but I could tell she wasn't exactly pleased you left her all alone. Anyway, things like getting in real close, or putting around them, you know things that you specifically do, aren't exactly the 'take things slow' kinda message."
He paused and realized that might be a bit much for him. "Actually, you might want to just say that to them directly. You're not exactly the type for nuance and panache."
"Um that's moving too fast I believe" Jet spoke scratching his head at Yosuke's suggested aggression to the situation. He was more hoping for some slow, and steady advice yet all his friend was giving him was ramming speed attacks.
"But she needs the shake for her health," he also noted as Yosuke began to enjoy his beef bowl notioning to his date not going as well as it sounded at first. Raising a curious eyebrow Jet listened to his buddy as he started to eat as well.
"What do you mean flirtatious," Jet asked before motioning to how Mimi apparently felt rather alone when Jet went off to do his waitering job… huh apparently Mimi was way more into him then he initially understood.
"Trust me on the shakes, alright? It can come across as a little overbearing." He was brutally aware that this was going to be a difficult endeavor. "I'm gonna address the pace of things later." He tried to think about what had happened that day as an example. "Remember at the festival, what you said to Mimi? You got real close and said something about helping her however you could? That came across as reeeeal flirtatious. Basically, anything that can be construed as expressing interest could be qualified as flirting."
He went back to his first question. "As for being too fast, I suppose I need to ask whether you're even trying to get with her."
"I see," Jet pondered for a moment before giving Yosuke a blank stare.
"I am not sure, but I am not against it either. She has shown great passion. She has an admirable will, and I feel well attuned with her," Jet tried to explain his thoughts on Mimi.
Listening to the way that Jet spoke about her, it was clear that at the very least he had great respect for her. Yosuke never met the girl from the festival, but Jet was an honest guy. If he said so, it must be true.
"Well, I suppose the important thing now is find out whether you want to express interest. Just, don't lead her on if you don't okay?" He finished up his meal before standing up, wincing after moving too quickly. "I think I should get back to my room for now though… Remember, try and make sure you like her before attempting to deepen that relationship. It'd suck if her feelings get too strong only for you to turn her down." As Yosuke rumbled off with a full belly Jet pondered for a moment on all the things discussed. For now though he was going to make that shake, and a few others for other friends dietary perfection was a necessary thing with all the wounded friends he had.

Yet Amaris sacrificed her own defenses to save Cupie, Yosuke decided to take a severe blow to counterattack. And Isamu actually blew himself up to save someone. That wasn't even to mention the entirety of the group sent to the subway.

"... A girl has shown interest in me," Jet spoke, deciding to give Yosuke a bone since he was helping out. With the ingredients now all together, and cooking Jet used his mist to pull up a chair for Yosuke.
"And I am still fresh off my rejection with Cupie," he explained why he wasn't really in the mood to talk, or rethink about it at the moment.
"Oh. I see. I didn't even know you had a thing for… Nevermind." It must have been that girl from the school fair. Yosuke couldn't remember her name, but the black hair and wings were definitely features he remembered.
"But I'm surprised you only just noticed. I mean it seemed like it should have been obvious at the school festival."
"Hm… your not wrong are you," Jet thought about it. Thinking about the time he tried out his butler pitch to Mimi later to discover it had apparently caused her to experience a nosebleed. That was a pretty strong sign… unless it was just a medical lack of sugar content, or iron proficiency.
"I should make her a protein iron meal, or maybe a shake concoction," Jet spoke out loud… maybe that would help with her nosebleeds. Or at the least help balance out all the sugar she intake on a daily basis. Once the rice was properly cooked Jet proceeded to cover it lightly in butter with salt to add an absorption of taste to the bowls he had placed out. Once they were cooled he started to place pieces of meat onto the bowls until the rice couldn't be seen. Letting them cool down for a moment he waited on the rice to absorb the juices from the meat. Then when all was done he topped it all with the vegetables Yosuke had helped prepped.
"So then you are experienced in this dating business yes? So what should I do to let her know i want to take it slow to make sure it can work out," Jet asked as he handed a bowl to Yosuke.
"Ditch the shake. And call it a nice dinner date." Yosuke said to him after hearing the strange Jet-ism he was spouting out. However, he quickly asked if he was experienced. To which Yosuke gave a huff of resignation.
"No, not really. I've been one only one date. And it did go well." He paused for a moment before sulking into his bowl and eating a few bites. "At least I thought it did…" He murmured into his utensils. "But, I can still help. For starters, don't go around being all flirtatious with other girls. You might not do it intentionally, but I could tell she wasn't exactly pleased you left her all alone. Anyway, things like getting in real close, or putting around them, you know things that you specifically do, aren't exactly the 'take things slow' kinda message."
He paused and realized that might be a bit much for him. "Actually, you might want to just say that to them directly. You're not exactly the type for nuance and panache."
"Um that's moving too fast I believe" Jet spoke scratching his head at Yosuke's suggested aggression to the situation. He was more hoping for some slow, and steady advice yet all his friend was giving him was ramming speed attacks.
"But she needs the shake for her health," he also noted as Yosuke began to enjoy his beef bowl notioning to his date not going as well as it sounded at first. Raising a curious eyebrow Jet listened to his buddy as he started to eat as well.
"What do you mean flirtatious," Jet asked before motioning to how Mimi apparently felt rather alone when Jet went off to do his waitering job… huh apparently Mimi was way more into him then he initially understood.
"Trust me on the shakes, alright? It can come across as a little overbearing." He was brutally aware that this was going to be a difficult endeavor. "I'm gonna address the pace of things later." He tried to think about what had happened that day as an example. "Remember at the festival, what you said to Mimi? You got real close and said something about helping her however you could? That came across as reeeeal flirtatious. Basically, anything that can be construed as expressing interest could be qualified as flirting."
He went back to his first question. "As for being too fast, I suppose I need to ask whether you're even trying to get with her."
"I see," Jet pondered for a moment before giving Yosuke a blank stare.
"I am not sure, but I am not against it either. She has shown great passion. She has an admirable will, and I feel well attuned with her," Jet tried to explain his thoughts on Mimi.
Listening to the way that Jet spoke about her, it was clear that at the very least he had great respect for her. Yosuke never met the girl from the festival, but Jet was an honest guy. If he said so, it must be true.
"Well, I suppose the important thing now is find out whether you want to express interest. Just, don't lead her on if you don't okay?" He finished up his meal before standing up, wincing after moving too quickly. "I think I should get back to my room for now though… Remember, try and make sure you like her before attempting to deepen that relationship. It'd suck if her feelings get too strong only for you to turn her down." As Yosuke rumbled off with a full belly Jet pondered for a moment on all the things discussed. For now though he was going to make that shake, and a few others for other friends dietary perfection was a necessary thing with all the wounded friends he had.

...................................................
The day had been rather blurry since the fight with the vein, and wolf girls. Aurora herself had been out for quite a few hours thanks to the damage done by the poison, and the massive wound to her left shoulder blade. Thanks to Chimera's, and Hisashi's combined effort her body had properly recovered, and her wounds had been mostly healed; her left hand was in a sling until the nerves adjusted back to normal in her hand. However she was now able to stand, and walk around a bit. So with her regained momentum she decided to go get some snacks walking out of her room to the medical wards break room. Walking up to one of the vending machines reality kicked in and she realized she was missing a vital part to her plan.
"No wallet… curses," she sighed lightly pouting before breathing out with a chuckle. She was still alive to have stupid problems like this… that was a plus honestly. Sighing, she walked over to the window to see the school's botanical garden, the setting sun shining on her face and reflecting off her metallic figure. After a moment she started to think through that battle, her mistake, and her new experience to an attack that was an unnatural cause of effect. She wasn't used to being impaled, but now thanks to Nina, and Chuya she had to remember it was possible. All she could do was work on the temple that was her body, and strengthen her keratin control. She was too focused on attack, and had let her defense falter for it… she needed to start balancing them out.
Walking up to the other was the miko just released from her "room" in the medical ward for the day. It seemed Aurora was already out and about as the later clicked her tongue. "Should you really be up right now?" She asks.
"Probably not, but I can't stay in that bed. It'll drive me insane… you know? Hey you're an interesting one Kanna. You partake in a religious peace, yet take to war like a crusader enjoying the bloodied field," Aurora spoke rather out of the blue as she turned around to her friend walking towards her as the sun started to set down.
"I keep telling myself I am getting better slowly, but surely. I trained with both my parents, and Amaris since I was 13 wanting nothing more than to be someone who protected others… cause there seemed to be no one who could protect me," Aurora spoke unnaturally morbid to her usual cheerful disposition.
"Not that my parents didn't raise me well with love, and parental protection. But there's only so much comfort a parent can provide for so long. All birds must fly the coop eventually, and allow their parents to rest," Aurora smiled, but only momentarily as she reached Kanna… the sun now gone as the darkness creeped through the windows.
"People were always scared around me thinking I was a ticking time bomb of an accident waiting to happen. Can't say I blame them my quirk is very destructive prone. Very similar to yours really… I owe you an apology for not being able to control my emotions during that vein of woman's attack. I never thought I would be so easily pierced, or rattled," Aurora spoke her right hand gripping hard.
"I failed myself, but I also failed you as your partner. To me there's no excuse for that… so thank you for saving me," Aurora bowed politely.
"Hmm, I see you are just as Westernized as Amaris is. Your parents did fail you in that regard. As I told her at the time, Shinto should not be mistaken for Christianity. We do not have oaths against violence, my father is a Warrior Monk Priest point of fact." She says in regards to the first bit. "At the core Shinto is a religion devoted to life and the acts of creation but that does not mean we have such a childish notion as turning the other cheek when struck."
Nodding at the rest she pauses. "Well in the case of my home my parents are still stronger or at least were. So things could quickly end in devastation.. Either way you should not fret over me aiding you then, I'll admit I wanted to take both of them down but I was unable to safely pursue after taking down the other. Which would have likely ended in your death had we not retreated. I decided dragging you out of there was more needed than chasing down the final girl."
"Careful Kanna," there was surprisingly a hostile air at the end of Kanna's remarks at her parents only fueled by the moonlight illumination that snuck behind Kanna shadowing Aurora's hair reacting a little aggressively as it flowed for a moment before calming down resting at her side shining green eyes looking directly into Kanna's dark crimson. Rather impressive given how her body though weary, and beaten down she was able to express her own aura in emotion.
"I know you find my dad annoying a bit , but he tries to understand all of his students as best as possible. Hiccups happen, and yes I heard you were rather wounded yourself. I do thank you for choosing me over the thrall of combat, and justice. However… don't you think you may be going overboard with your tenacity… cause I feel even if drugged during that fight you had intention to kill at a point in that fight," Aurora asked, eyeing Kanna.
"To be honest, and frank I used crusader in more so its term of aggression. For one that speaks of life, death seems to enthrall you more when dealing with villains," Aurora was straight forward.
Meeting her gaze in the flowing moonlight, red eyes that seemed to somewhat glow met with what could be best described as amusement. Smiling at that she tilts her head slightly to the side, crossing her arms in front of her under the still uncleaned robes. "Ah. I don't mind your father's eccentric nature, however it is clear he much like Amaris's own mother never put much attention on his Japanese roots." Listening to the rest of what her fellow classmate had to say, Kanna nods her head thoughtfully then her smile purses ever smaller.
"As I said, I came here to learn to be stronger, being a hero was a consideration more than a goal. I barely even bother with a disguise short of a mask.. Let me present you with a question, or a scenario if you will. When a wolf comes down from the mountain which is the better option once it has preyed upon the livestock, the citizenry and terrorizes those around it? To put it asleep and take it high in the mountains in hopes it learns its lesson and does not return, or to crush it's skull then, and there to be sure it does not return? Also how sure are you of what you saw as poisoned as you were?" With that the miko does a polite bow before strengthening up.
"I do not enjoy the thought of killing another but I must consider the greater good when it comes to a threat to the safety of all, had I not fought with serious intent then I would have been beaten. That was why the two of them bested you and nearly did me. We may be held by rules but they are not. They were attempting to kill us, not to wound us, not to slow us, but to end our very existence. You should consider that before questioning me. Also I do think the winds of change are about to blow, call it the wisdom of the Kami, we collectively suffered grievously as class 1A."
"There are some wolves that need to be put down I cannot argue this, and just like their ancestors sometimes there are the guard dogs that protect the sheep that get a taste of blood. Becoming just as bad as what they defend against," Aurora responded in warning to Kanna's thoughts.
"I see I cannot fault you for wanting to be stronger. Seeing as it is a hero's goal to be the best it would raise the proper environment to grow in such a way," Aurora nodded in understanding.
"Change is a constant variable, but let me ask you this is all change good," the blonde countered.
"Better yet why do you not deny what I say. I think there is more to your quirk, and its effect on you then you let on," Aurora spoke her own smile thin to the point of being a frown. This was not a conversation of ideals… it was a matter of a friend's mental state, and how their quirk affected them..
"Kanna I want to ask what did you hear that set you off cause it was nothing that either of our opponents said?"
With that, Kanna just gives a shrug, not having more to say on the matter, or caring to. "You will come to understand shortly. I followed Misoka as I have a belief in her and have somewhat guessed why she only stopped to see her daughter briefly. We all have our own inner demons to deal with, to come to terms with. Even I. I think in that fight I reached an understanding of my own. I was afraid of my quirk but now I am starting to see what needs to be done with it. I shall keep faith that such a path will open before me." Bowing at that Kanna turns to step away.
"If there is one you wish to worry for, I would suggest Ayame, Amaris or Isamu. Also please try and refrain from iced coffee if you are trying to get one of those from the Vendor, I am sure tomorrow will be our longest day." Turning to leave she did confirm her classmate was well, she had nothing else to do here. "I will tell Amaris you are doing well."
"Kanna dont ever stray to the taste of blood. You're my friend, but I am a Hero too, and if I must I will silence the echoes of madness," Aurora warned as she watched her friend walk off leaving a concerning coating of words about Aunt Misoka… what was happening was clearly about to shake some foundations. Sighing she rubbed her temple as she stood there for a moment processing her current thoughts.
With that Kanna takes her leave, bowing lightly as she was accustomed. As a few moments passed a brief pounding could be heard in the ceiling from above as the wall panel opened it's top half, a small gap nearly as small as the air duct vent running alongside it. Talking to herself and not expecting anyone else, Ayame pops out of it dropping to the ground. "Whew, it's a good thing I'm not as big as Kanna or Aurora, I would get stuck in some of those secret passages.. Though.." Turning around she spotted Aurora there and frowned, not sure what else to do now that she had been seen, that had been careless of her. "Um..hi?"
"... Heh, so did dad reveal all the secret spots or have you been digging for whatever panels move," Aurora chuckled a bit softer at the sight of Ayame. Walking over to the girl she lightly patted, and petted her cute friend.
"So what happened," Aurora asked, smiling at her friend as she kneeled down to listen.
"Mama knew more of the secrets than he did." She says sticking her tongue out and making a meeeeh sound. "I've been learning them myself, I'm thinking that the maid lady we've ran into may have found some of them but no way she can get in here now." Pausing at the question and the petting she didn't even offer protest.
"Umm..I was spying on headmaster Gregori and the sealed off part of the medical ward..I don't think I should tell anyone what I found though.. It's just too much and I'm sure he'll tell us tomorrow.." Looking away from her friend, Ayame didn't seem to want to make eye contact as her shoulders sagged, clearly reluctant to speak of what she had found and going as far to actually admitting what she was doing.
"Sheesh everyones being so mean to dad," Aurora chuckled this time bopping Ayame on the head at her childish reaction.
"...Ayame… what did you see," making sure no one was around she listened intently before breathing in.
"No if you think I will hear it later. Then I will wait, but what about you? I heard what happened… are you alright?"
"How can I be alright with being useless and having no power?" Ayame says back in reply before sagging her shoulders. "We won't be able to continue on as we have.. Momma was mad.. And.." Pausing to consider telling her or not, she takes a middle ground. "Hero society will lack a pillar.. I'm tired of us being pawns.." Holding back some tears, the girl wipes her face. "I just want to go up on the roof and scream.. This class has never made my time here easy, I don't mind that but.. Well enough about me.. You almost died you know, Blood poisoning is a serious thing! Why are you even up now, I was planning to try visiting you all, well minus Isamu, he needs rest."
"Ayame....," looking at the fragile state of her friend Aurora brought her panda friend into a soft embrace with her none braced hand holding her tight… but not too tight. Continuing to pet her Aurora listened all the way through not interrupting her until she was done.
"I am sure part of that's on me… I know, but I couldn't rest. Besides I just had a rather unsettling conversation with Kanna. I promise you I am fine, and wont push myself alright," Aurora softly spoke to her friend wiping a few tears away.
"Ayame you have to do what you think is right. So if this shift means you choose to do something different at least know I will always be there for you if you need me. Can't let my super panda be without help," she smiled continuing to pet the girl.
"It's fine.." She says before finally attempting to shrug off the petting and hugs, though she wasn't being too forceful with it. "But really, you should rest, as to Kanna I'll be talking with her later tonight. Even if she can be dark at times, I still trust her heart to be in the right place.. I might be down..I mean I am, but if I can't trust in my own friends then I might as well leave here. And she did ultimately bring you back, if Kanna wasn't somewhat unsettling she wouldn't be Kanna...as strange as that might sound.
You and Amaris though have been really kind to me, both of you were far more hurt so you should just focus on yourselves, I'll be..alright after a while, I just need some time to process things and to see what will happen with all of this today, why behind it happening.."
"I trust Kanna… I am just worried if she trusts herself," Aurora voiced not wanting to distrust Kanna, but it was getting harder with each experience on the field with her. Laughing however at that last point Ayame had a valid part to her words.
"True Kanna is Kanna…. Alright I'll lay worries to rest until otherwise provoked," Aurora promised as she let Ayame go as she pulled lightly away.
"I think focusing on myself is a bad idea especially after my flashbacks," Aurora motioned to a thing Ayame wouldn't really get.
"Alright you be safe alright?"
"Haha. I always try to be.." Patting the other girl back, Ayame runs off before waving. "I have a roof to scream off of for now, the walls are pretty thick so no one tends to notice! And you go back to your bed! You shouldn't be moving around yet!"
"Don't worry about me…. Be more worried about yourself fluff ball," the last part of the sentence lingered in a whisper on the metal girl's lips. Something was coming, and in her gut she knew… it was going to be drastic.
"No wallet… curses," she sighed lightly pouting before breathing out with a chuckle. She was still alive to have stupid problems like this… that was a plus honestly. Sighing, she walked over to the window to see the school's botanical garden, the setting sun shining on her face and reflecting off her metallic figure.

"Shouldn't you be resting," a voice would call out to Kanna as she walked the hallways of the medical ward echoing to reveal the following silent student in the form of Jettitare. The draconic classmate had clearly been behind her for a minute with how close he had gotten rather impressively.
"So I heard you, and Aurora had quite the hunt… care to inform what happened," Jet asked with a blank face watching the Miko as if studying prey though… that was just more his appearance of eyes setting that feel.
"Me?" Looking at him with a turn she did not seem surprised by his sudden appearance, the later bows her head softly and smiles. "No, I'm fine more or less. They still want me to stay for observation however, least for a little longer. Aurora is also up and moving around."
Pondering how best to answer his question she gives a short handed account. "We ran into a new villain and the wolf girl some of our classmates met. In the course of the battle we both were blood poisoned which caused more harm to Aurora than I. She then confronted the wolf girl when she started bad talking about the extended family. In that rush to fight she was eventually defeated and succumbed to the poison. I then fought and managed to scare the pair off, after that I dragged Aurora out till we found a point to escape from."
"I see," Jet responded before adding.
"Sounds like you didn't like how it ended," he pointed out, noting her apparent change in usual demeanor… as if she was excited for something to come.
"And if I was to assume it seems Aurora was more a nuisance to your plan whatever it had been," Jet finished waiting to see how Kanna would respond. It was always evident that Kanna had a more permanent plan for villains, and given the ones they were dealing with a lot lately… he couldn't say she was wrong for sure.
"I spoke with the one in question. Her mind was warped beyond redemption, there was no reasoning, only emotion. Kaz, or Nova Master asked that we bring them in unharmed. She went in fully willing with her partner to kill us. During the battle how Aurora and I wished to clash also did not match. Ultimately I was asked to weigh our lives, the lives of others against hers and the selfish request of one man. Misoka's orders were absolute. Do whatever we must to return alive." Shrugging at that Kanna smiles a bit in a smirk before continuing.
"I know of most of the top 10 to an extent, more than I let on at least. I just have no respect for most of them. Many of them are just tools and false icons, a part of a system that cares not for the weak so much as the wealthy. Misoka was in my eyes and remains the sole exception to that, maybe The Grudge as well, Instructor Allo I am undecided on, in truth I think he just loves his machines more than any status and money.. Why would I not go full force against a monster if I am a demon? Why would I just sit back for the sake of some hero society that is corrupt to its core so one man who has done little for me and mine, just so he can feel good about the poor choices he made? I cannot fault his love as a father, but I cannot fall and die here to please him.. It would be more correct to say I followed Misoka should my judgement of her hold sound. I have little doubts she will shake the core of this country after the truth of this all is laid bare."
Closing her eyes, her smile vanishes. "Had I been able I would have ended her then and there under these circumstances. Such may not be the place of heroes, but those who call themselves heroes now seem little more than the rejects of society being thrown at one another for corporate profit and so they may bleed one another than the society."
"That's interesting," Jet proclaimed as he watched her bodily movements go from eager to a drop into a swirl of dark justice… a warhammer executioner mindset. Though Jet had known Kanna for a while now it was hard to say how she really felt about hero society. Yet now all was laid out bare.
"Judge, Jury, Executioner," Jet summed up with a squint of his own eyes at the girl before him.
"You speak of a controlled outcome with little chance for proper execution. To jury someone in a single fluid moment, to judge their life upon the scales without knowing all the facts all to execute the damned," Jet spoke rather lengthy for once with Kanna. He walked up to her with a fixation on her position.
"You're talking about full control to hunt those someone else has deemed to death. That's a soldier's life no," Jet exclaimed, questioning Kanna's reasons for this outcome of thought.
"I can agree to a certain extent that some deserve such a heavy handed hunting, but you can streamline that process without blundering and slaughtering people eventually to an element of resistance to such a culling," Jet pointed out.
"Such a system will create bigger shadows then that of what their light casts. More violent measures cause more chaotic responses no?"
"Because keeping them all in prisons has worked out so well." She says in response.
"We have no Miranda's Rights in this country and confessions are of more value than physical evidence. And ultimately it was extreme measures that finally calmed my own mother.. No, most of you do not know about that.. Likely for the better. I very well may just return to my village or go into law enforcement or the Defense Force after this. When a wolf comes down from the mountain to slaughter the chickens you do not ask it to leave. I can't say I have anything against most of you but the current hero society.. Let's just say it's about to change, a little side ability I have from my mother is the telltale sign of blood, or the smell of it rather. I can sense it and at times I can even tell who it is from. My mother was much better at it than I, but I can tell you, one scent coming from a portion of the medical ward will carry a grave reaction. It is why I am sure Misoka is making her move, there no longer is a choice for her and we all will be made to make a choice soon."
"A wolf takes to survive not indulge. One can easily turn the wolf to a thief, but refuses to accept that taking the wolf's land bit by bit forces its hands as its territory grows smaller, and its natural prey dwindles," Jet countered. There was however something they could agree on… the scent of blood it was overwhelming… something was amiss… someone was wounded that Jet was not aware of.
"One can easily kill the wolf, or train it to adapt to a better lifestyle. Yet it's true such is hard for the wolf, and once the taste of blood is indulged it rarely can go back. However with your idea everyone is the wolf hunting, and killing to claim right to wrongs without nary a chance to change. All such a trail will do is blood soak innocents soon enough until all are sheep, and unable to defend themselves," Jet finished seeming to let the topic go as he pulled a canister out of his pocket handing it to Kanna.
"Regardless you need better nutrient consumption your diet as of late has been lacking in potassium, and fiber. If you are indeed on your journey to your personal Nirvana you need natural healing rather than relying on your quirk to do it," Jet expressed.
"Regardless with change comes resistance. We will see how hero society clashes with your society soon enough," Jet politely spoke.
"Defending oneself? The Government won't even take responsibility for Quirks in its current form, nevermind the Quirkless. All the Hero Society can do is fight on uneven grounds and should something else enter the equation.. As to society, my society has always been that of the Japanese People.. even if it is astary. Ah, watching my eating habits are we? I would be more concerned with a couple others in our class than I. We'll be resumming class here soon in the next day or two so I should try and rest in my own room to be ready for that. Please save it for yourself or find Ayame or hmm.. In your case maybe Mimi?"
Giving a bow, Kanna turns to head off on her own, not accepting the thermos, mostly as she wasn't curious to find out what was inside of it.
"And mine hasn't? I am becoming a hero to protect others that is all. If I must kill to achieve that in the most dire of circumstances I will accept that sin on my soul. However yes you do need the nutrients it's a berry mix it will help your stomach, and your mind…. Especially balance out your fiber intake," Jet added running up to Kanna forcing her to take it before turning back, and walking away with a few other thermos for other people.
"So I heard you, and Aurora had quite the hunt… care to inform what happened," Jet asked with a blank face watching the Miko as if studying prey though… that was just more his appearance of eyes setting that feel.
