Nothing to see here, just keep on trucking. Also, I'm free now.

Ch.32- Let's work out the kinks

July 22nd

"Hey Principal Nezu, you said you wanted to talk to me?" I ask as I enter the office.

"I've called you to my office so we may discuss how your class has adjusted to dorm life."

"Of course," I say while taking a seat across from Nezu. "I'm happy to help."

"Excellent. I'd like to begin with the accommodations. Have they been satisfactory to you and your classmates or do you find them lacking?"

"They're great, sir. No problems to report."

"Wonderful. Next question: have you and your classmates felt safe while on campus since the move?"

"Yes, sir. Having our teachers close by at all times definitely helps us feel secure here."

"I'm so glad to hear that. The safety of our students is our absolute priority right now. Next up would be personal relationships between classmates. Have there been any changes to their interactions since they've become dorm mates?"

"Oh, uh…" I stay quiet and awkwardly scratched my cheek, avoiding eye contact with Nezu. "It's mostly been good. Same as normal… but, y'know, living together can be… different."

A few things pop into my mind.

One morning, someone is heard screaming, a few of us see what's going on and it turns out that Chibi snuck into Kinoko's room last night.

"Oh right." That reminds me I was supposed to tell my classmates something, "My bad everyone, Chibi has a habit of sneaking into other people's rooms, I can't do anything it, so look out for Chibi."

"That's alright Cortney," Kinoko says while petting Chibi.

One day, I walk into the common area and see Rin clutched over on the floor with the boys covering themselves. I look over to Peace.

"He grabbed her tail?" I ask, to which Peace nods.

"Fuckkkkk!" Rin curses.

"Yeah, Pony kicks if you grab her tail," I tell Rin.

"Duly noted." Tetsu says.

"…A few spats here and there, but we're adjusting quickly," I say. "Nothing you need to worry about, sir."

"Alright then. What of your relationships with other classes. I know you have a good relationship with Class A. Has this changed at all since you've moved in?" Nezu ask.

"I'd say it's been pretty good so far," I tell Nezu, "I know Monoma and Bakugo still aren't on great terms."

"Ah yes. Eraserhead told me about Bakugo's new dodgeball…"

"Hey douchebag!" Monoma yelled across the courtyard. "I heard you're costume designer just graduated from preschool!" Not a second later, a dodgeball rocketed into his groin. "OOOUUUGH! ...I think they went back inside me," he groaned as he held his privates. "Sesame, Buccaneer, come back. Papa needs you."

I have to hold myself back from laughing when Nezu brings up that little incident again, but it does bring a few more interactions our classes had.

"I can't believe it!" Midoriya squealed. He was in Pony's room, being shown her America-exclusive All Might figure. "I never thought I'd see it right in front of me. It's so detailed."

"Yeah, I got it for my ninth birthday," Pony explained. "His hero costume from back then was cool, yeah?"

"How much for it?" Midoriya suddenly had his wallet out and looked very serious. "Money is no issue."

"Uh—"

"$20— no, $30— $35?"

"You keep goin' up."

"$50, final offer… $55?"

"You're no good at haggling."

"How is that little girl wielding something so big?" Momo asks as she looks at a picture, I'm showing her something on my phone.

"You haven't seen anything." I tell Momo, "Think you could do it?"

"It looks like very complicated and might take me a few tries." Momo comments.

"Might want to ask my mom if she could help." I rub my chin, imagining Momo using the weapon in my mind and the fun things that could mean.

"Hey Cort, you showing Momo that RWBY show?" Pony asks, joining our conversation.

"Yeah. Momo says she might be able to make Crescent Rose." I reply.

"Sweet."

"Thank you for lending me your time Cortney, I don't want to eat up any more of your time. We'll be restarting training again, so be ready." Principal Nezu says.

"Don't worry about it, and thanks for the heads-up," I tell Nezu before I leave.

July 23rd

After a few days of getting ourselves adjusted to living together, we're diving back to training. We're all in our costumes and training in Gym Gamma today with the teachers waiting for us.

"Now I mentioned something called Provisional Licenses. To go further in detail, this summer we'll be pushing past your limits and earn your Provisional Licenses, only one hundred people will pass this year." Mom explains.

"And to give you an edge, you will all be coming up with special moves," Cementoss adds.

"Super moves?! Aw yeah!" Tetsutetsu cheered. The whole class was buzzing with excitement from the announcement.

"That's right," Ectoplasm said. "These will be your unbeatable techniques to use in a fight. A killer move, so to speak."

"These moves will be your calling card," Midnight added. "A hero with no super move these days is a rarity indeed."

"You must find a move that pushes your unique abilities," Cementoss continued, now kneeling down and using his Quirk to reshape the floor. "That's why you've assembled here – my personal facility where I can create terrain and objects to suit everyone's needs."

"Hey, uh, question? Real quick?" Setsuna ask. "Why super moves now? What's the connection with that and the test?"

"This license exam will be a comprehensive test of all attributes a hero must-have," Midnight explains. "Insight, judgment, charisma, communication, leadership, and most importantly, fighting prowess. Personally, I believe you all have these traits, but you'll be up against students from other schools, most of which are a grade ahead of you. With super moves, you'll have an edge, and if you're backed into a corner, they can be your anchor to turn the tides."

"These super moves don't have to be an offensive move either," Ectoplasm chimed in. "Vlad's Blood Net, for example, is a super move for capture. You could have a move that increases your physical abilities too, or for your hand-to-hand combatants, you could think up some sort of unique strike or combo that involves your Quirks. Be flexible and open-minded. You should also seek out costume upgrades and support gear to help with these moves."

"Cortney and Peace have the edge against you by already making a special attack and even a three-person team attack." Mom chimes in, "They could help you, but note that they still have room to improve."

"The Quirk training at the camp was supposed to end with the creation of your super moves," Mom continues, "But since that was cut short, we'll be continuing on from now. Strengthen your Quirks, seek new support gear, and create those super moves. Do all this with Plus Ultra in your heart. Are you ready, Class?"

"Yes, Mam!"

"Then get out there!" On Mom's command, and we rush forward for our training. Cementoss manipulated the cement floor into many pillars for individual training areas while Ectoplasm created enough clones to personally advise all of us. Midnight takes a high post to watch over everyone while Mom stays by the door.

After training is over for the day, Mom tells to head to the Development Studio for any ideas we may have for our costumes. I go to see if they have any good support gear for me.

"Hey Cortney, going to the Development Studio too?" Axel asks.

"Yeah, I wanted to see if they have any support gear I could use. What about you?" I ask back, and Axel holds his goggles.

"I have an idea for these," Axel replies. For once, we manage to enter the Support Course without something blowing upon us entering, and we're greeted by Mei.

"Hey Mei, been a while huh?" The last time we talked was our first week and most of the others have avoided her like the plague.

"Who are you again, I forgot your names," Mei replies, and we don't blame her.

"Cortney Tan Jr.- Axel Gallavancer." We remind Mei who we are, "I still have your business card." I flash the card Mei gave me a long time ago.

"Wow, I-I, I didn't think you would still have that," Mei says surprised.

"Hey, you went to the effort, so I may as show some back. Now about our costumes." I bring us back to why we came here in the first place.

"Oh yeah. Powerloader isn't here at the moment, but I help out in any way I can." Mei tells us with a smile on her face.

"I might regret this, but go crazy." Axel gives his goggles to Mei.

"Do you have anything to boost the power of my kicks and stomps?" I ask.

"Actually I was designing something for Izuku as well, baby 39. Iron Soles!" Mei presents what looks like to me a pair of armored cleats.

"That just might be what I'm looking for. So, do they work?" I ask Mei as I put on the iron soles over my shoes, being a little tight on my feet.

"Your kicks will fire off twice now with them on." I do a few practice kicks and something feels off.

"I'll take them, but could you do a few modifications," I ask, to which Mei jumps around in joy.

"Sure, what would like changed?"

"Add some more armor, and make work with stomps as well," I tell Mei my requests.

"I'll get on it right away." Mei heads to the back where the sound of tools are heard.

Later that night while I'm sleeping, I'm in a grassy field, and someone standing in front of me. I can't make out any of their facial features, but I can at least tell their female.

"You want to be stronger, and I'm here to help." The person says. Their voice is sounding muffled making them a bit hard to understand.

"I already taught you one of my techniques, but you can improve it and make it your own." The woman tells me. Right, I remember now, I was taught Stunner and Gate by this person before.

"Get up." The woman tells me and I hop up to my feet, "Hold out both your arms and press your palm together." I do what the woman says and it looks like I'm about to charge a Kamehameha.

"What am I supposed to do now?" I ask the woman.

"Now start a Stunner through both your arms now." I never tried using Stunner with my right arm before so this will be new. After what seems like hours, I think I finally got it.

"Stunner!" I fire a stunner through both my arms, now instead of just a point-blank blast, Stunner can now hit from much further and stun for even longer also creating a shockwave when fired.

"Thank you ma-" I go to thank the mysterious woman but she's gone. *Bzzzzbzzzzz* I'm woken up by my clock when I look to my left, I see Chibi waking up as well and moving over to the side of my bed.

"Good morning Chibi. Hey, I have some ideas." I tell Chibi, petting his head before getting out of bed.

As I make my way to the bathroom, Peace walks out of her room, tired and hair in a mess.

"Working on your costume?" I guess from the way Peace is.

"Yeah, I was working on my gauntlets, and pretty much rebuilt them from scratch. Stay up all night to get them done, but I'd say it was well worth it." Peace tells me.

"I can't wait to see. I have a few upgrades of my own." I reply before getting ready for the day.

When training rolls around, Mei was able to get my Iron Soles upgrade finished by staying up all night and she really did go Plus Ultra on them. She added a lot more armor at the bottom and she even added spikes for me. Axel also got his goggles back, but I don't see much of difference.

"Cortney, can I borrow your quirk?" Neito asks before we start. I think he was training to increase his time limit and how many quirks he can hold.

"Sure?" I bend my neck to the side, now realizing just how much of my body is covered. When Neito copies my quirk, my spike appears on his head.

"That's unique," I comment upon seeing that happen before sucker punching Neito in the face.

"I didn't go crazy!" Neito shouts somehow still standing and even seeing steam coming off him.

"You copy my quirk, you put in yourself in a world of pain," I tell Neito.

"Alright Axel, are you ready?" Ectoplasm asks, with Axel summoning his engines.

"I think I worked out a super move." Axel says before slamming his legs into the clone's face, "I'm not done yet."

"Heat Axe!" Axel uses the fire produced from Recipro Burst and cleaves the clone in two.

"Impressive," Mr. Ectoplasm praises Axel, "You made something original from the copy of someone else's quirk."

"Thanks," Axel replies.

"I something that should blow you away, Mr. Ectoplasm." I say and before he can ask, I thrust my arms out, "Grand Stunner!" I say and knock Mr. Ectoplasm back rubbing my nose.

"So you decided on improving your moves instead?" Ectoplasm ask.

"Fire in the hole!" Peace yells, followed by a massive explosion, "Sorry if that hit anyone." Peace says following the explosion.

"So that's the upgrades Peace mentions." I mentally note. Peace dumps out two vials from her gauntlets before inserting another two.

"What the fuck are you using?!" Neito yells from the other side of the gym.

"Nitroglycerin." I really want to ask how she is getting Kachy's sweat but at the same time might regret asking so I keep my mouth shut.

"I'm still working on the right combination, so it's still a work in progress." Peace adds.

"I would keep working on it." Mom chimes in.

"I see you're all working." All Might says walking in the gym. It still is weird seeing All Might in his normal form.

Hey, All Might!" Kendo yelled from atop her training area. She hopped down and went to greet All Might along with some other nearby students.

"Hey, everyone. I am here," he greeted casually.

"Good to see you back on your feet!" Tetsutetsu bellowed.

"How are you feeling? How's your arm?" Ibara asked.

"Oh, this? It's nothing," All Might said while moving around his casted right arm. "It should be fine soon enough."

"We're all glad you made it out of that fight alive, even if you're retiring," Kendo said.

"That's nice to hear. It's great to see all of you again, but you should get back to your training. I'll come around in a bit and advise you each."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone replied. As we dispersed, Neito stays behind and approach All Might on his own.

"Not gonna work," I mutter under my breath before turning my attention back to my own training.

Writer- With that, I'd say this is a perfect place to end things here. Next time, Class 1-B will be fighting for their Provisional License, have a good time because someone will be making their appearance.
