Huh, interesting. Flying like that sounds fun, though! Why wouldn’t he let you do it?
[ she has no idea how bad sora is with tech lmao ]
But yeah, there’s hero schools all over the country. Heroes are pretty popular, so a lot of people want to try to become one, you know? So of course they’d want to make sure we’re doing it right.
[ she gives a light laugh as she leads sora down the hall toward the freshman classrooms. ]
Guess not. But, you know - when a bunch of students get involved in such a big villain attack, the adults all freak out.
Who knows? Donald likes to argue with me about lots of stuff. [yeah this is definitely all it is. oh well! following, following.]
I guess if everybody's got a quirk that makes sense. People wanting to use to to help other people. But you must be really good with yours to get into the best school.
[ laughing, as she leads him toward classroom 1-A! ]
Yeah - technically, it's illegal to use your quirk in public without a license, so it's probably better to have the laws to keep everyone safe. [ that said, she rubs the back of her neck, a little embarrassed. ] I dunno, I guess so. I still have a long way to go, though.
You think? I get that there's always ways we can improve, but that doesn't mean you're not already good at what you can do. [he has not seen her use her quirk ever, but he feels like she's a hard worker and would train a lot to better her technique.]
Well, I mean... I want to be a support and rescue hero, because that's what my quirk will be best for. But I still need to learn more about how to apply it in a crisis without making things worse somehow, and how to defend myself and civilians, in case a villain attacks while I'm helping someone. Not to mention...
[ her cheeks flush - a little deeper than her normal, everyday blush. ]
My quirk has... some limits. So I need to train more to get around them.
[ anyway now that they're here! she spreads her arms wide and does a quick little twirl. ]
My homeroom! [ bouncing over to a seat toward the back: ] This one's my desk. It's almost like I never left!
[he has so many questions and he's about to ask, like, 20 but then he sees the way she literally dances past the subject and he grins, putting more of his focus on the room in front of them.]
Your class is bigger than mine. [he'll walk through, checking out the desks and the room itself.] It's kind of amazing how real all of this seems, isn't it?
[ she's not trying to avoid it! but she's not going to lead him blindly either lmao. ]
Your class must have been tiny, huh? [ teasingly, as she hops up to sit on top of her own desk, legs swinging idly. ] The only weird thing about it is how empty the school is. It's never this quiet here. I think Present Mic would lose his mind if it was.
[closes my eyes ray you know him, he will 100% just forget it for now.]
Well yeah. Our whole island's pretty small. [he'll lean against a nearby desk, folding his arms over his chest.] I bet you're never bored here either with so many people around. Is Present Mic another hero?
I haven't really been to school for a while, but...[he absolutely is the kind of person to fall asleep in class, and the sheepish smile on his face says so.] I still did fine.
[he can't help but laugh it off because he knows how it seems, and he knows most schools wouldn't let him get away with it. but at her question he seems to light up again.]
You really want to see it? It's pretty different from this.
[it takes a moment, but soon ochako will see the classroom change to somewhere a little warmer and brighter. the ocean lays ahead of them, and under their feet is clean and bright sand. there's a large island ahead of them across a short body of water, about the distance of a quick trip by rowboat. if she turns around, she'll find that they're on a different island that looks more like a children's playground. there's a treehouse behind them built into the cliff's face, and a bridge connects from the island to a smaller portion that overhangs in the water with a long tree perfect for sitting. the time of day seems to be a sunset. you know canon, ray, it's pretty much the ending of 3 but without the people.]
[ yeah, that sounds like what a place like this should be named. ]
It's beautiful. I can't believe you grew up someplace like this! [ laughing, as she twirls through the sand. ] But you had to leave for hero work, right?
Sometimes I can't either. But it's been my home forever. [he's walking down toward the water, letting ochako enjoy herself.]
I did have to leave though...the first time wasn't really by choice. But every other time after that, it was because we still had work to do to save the worlds.
Mm, I think I get it. It’ll be better to have time with them once your work is done. And, I guess, missing people makes you love them more, too, and it’s that much better when you finally get to see them again.

she laughs, though! ] No, it's never boring. Everyone in our class is pretty funny - I think you'd like them!
And yea, he is. His quirk is basically making his voice loud? So he can't stand it when things are quiet. He's our English teacher.
no subject
That'd be a really good quirk to have in a place like this. [shouty...] But guess that means you can't get away with sleeping in his class.
no subject
[ laughing oh my god ]
Do you fall asleep in class a lot, Sora-kun?

You said you're from an island? Would you show me?

You really want to see it? It's pretty different from this.
no subject
Yeah! Why not? We might as well take advantage of this place while it's here, right? And I bet you miss home, too, huh?
no subject
Yeah, you're right. Okay. We can change it! [...] I've just gotta think about it and the room will take care of the rest, right?

Welcome to Destiny Islands. [he points across the water.] The main island's over there, that's where everybody lives. But this is our play island.

...Sorry you have to keep leaving, Sora-kun. The world may need your help, but I hope you can come back soon.
no subject
...yeah. I hope so, too. [...] It might be a while, but I'll get there someday. There are still some things we need to take care of.
But I don't regret it, you know?
