The next day couldn't have come soon enough, I was so pumped to go back to UA and actually get started on some hero training. Today would be the first day that we would have it, and it would be first thing in the morning, 1-A has it in the afternoon, so we won't run into each other that way.
I arrived at school a bit earlier than some people in the class, Shishida, Kendo and Honenuki being the only ones that had already arrived. They all looked at me when I entered the room, though none of them took the initiative to start a conversation. I wasn't bothered by this; I could just talk to any of the spirits that wanted to have a chat.
That reminded me, I wanted to let Kuriboh loose on the school and see what kind of mischief the little guy could get up to, he was a curious little fella after all. I decided that I should do it before any of the teachers get here or any of the stuck-up people decide to tell me that doing this was irresponsible and reckless.
With a thought I had summoned the little furball, garnering the attention of the three once again, and smiled at the little guy before sending him a mental command to go explore around. With a happy noise the little monster was off and exploring the building to its hearts desires.
"Sir Clay, might I ask what you were doing with that creature of yours?" Shishida broke the silence between us but when I turned back with a grin on my face, he wished he hadn't.
"Oh, I was just letting Kuriboh explore UA a little. Who knows, maybe he'll make some new friends." I kept the mischievous grin on my face as Kendo shook her head while Honenuki decided to ignore the conversation. "If he just happens to stir up some trouble then I'll go check on him."
From down the hall I heard a commotion, someone screaming in a high pitch about there being a monster in the building. I immediately knew that the monster in question was my Kuriboh, I just didn't think that he would cause trouble this quickly.
I quickly rushed out of the room and to the sound of the commotion, wanting to make sure that Kuriboh was safe from any harm. I wasn't worried about the student, Kuriboh wouldn't harm them, he was just curious after all. It took a moment, but eventually I arrived at the doorway to class 1-A, out hero course sister class.
On the floor with their hands in front of them, sat a boy with a mess of green hair, green eyes and a symmetrical pattern of 4 freckles in a diamond pattern on his cheeks. Kuriboh stood there in front of the boy, just standing there, doing nothing except looking cute.
"Dude, you okay?" When the boy heard my voice, he quickly began moving away from me with his hands still waving in front of him.
"Ahh, I'm sorry, please help!" The boy was in a panicked state, and I didn't really know what to do, so I decided to just call Kuriboh to my side. The little monster rushed to my legs, and I bent down to lift the little guy up, hoping that would be enough to ensure this dude didn't have a heart attack.
"Calm down, Kuriboh isn't going to hurt you, he's just curious about UA and new people." When the boy heard what I said he opened his eyes and looked at me holding Kuriboh away from him. Instantly the boy had a huge change in personality, as if he wasn't just cowering from the furball a second ago.
"That's amazing, is it some part of your quirk? Perhaps it's a quirk that lets you control creatures? No that doesn't look like any creature I know of, maybe it lets you create creatures' kind of like Tokoyami's quirk? Do you have full control of it? No, otherwise it wouldn't have left your side, but maybe you can communicate with it, and it will sometimes listen." The boy spoke like he didn't have any time to slow down, he even pulled out a notebook from somewhere and began writing things down, much to my surprise and confusion.
"Stop, you're creeping me and Kuriboh out." I chopped his head to make him stop and he jumped in surprise and a bit of panic as well. When he realized that I was freaked out by his muttering he immediately bowed his head and began profusely apologizing.
"I-I'm sorry, I-I s-sometimes get carried a-away when it comes to q-quirks." He rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and I just waved it off.
"No harm done, but try to keep it under wraps, it's kind of creepy. Anyway, sorry about Kuriboh, he wanted to explore some of UA, but I didn't think he would run into any students." Kuriboh let out a noise as well, I could understand it as an apology, but the boy put on a confused face. "He says sorry for freaking you out."
"N-no, I'm s-sorry for h-having such a r-reaction." He bowed once again, man this guy must be a master at apologizing, he just won't let me apologize.
"Anyway, we should go, have fun in your class." And with that I walked away with Kuriboh in my arms. I didn't look back at the boy and see him enter class 1-A, nor did I really care to. As much as I hate to admit it, not many people can offer me a challenge in the hero course.
When I walked back into the class with Kuriboh in my arms I saw that some more students had arrived. I decided to let Kuriboh loose to do what he wants while he was in the class, just so long as he wasn't causing any problems.
I sat back down and Shishida turned to me, giving me a questioning look that I had to respond to.
"Okay, so maybe letting Kuriboh out into the wild wasn't such a great idea. He was gone for all of a minute and nearly gave a guy a heart attack." This caused Shishida to go wide eyed, but I just shrugged my shoulder. "He's fine but he had a real stutter problem."
We sat in silence once again, some groups forming among the class with conversations varying between groups. More and more students walked in until finally everyone had arrived, a few minutes later and Vlad walked into the class doing the roll once again.
He reminded us that we would be having out heroics class first thing and told us to wait for our heroics teacher to arrive. None of us knew who our heroics teacher was going to be, it could've been Vlad for all we knew, though we really hoped that it wasn't. Nothing against the teacher but we were hoping to have a different teacher for our class.
"I AM HERE!" A loud voice spoke out from the back of the room, and we all turned to face him. "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" Standing in the doorway of the class, in his silver age costume, was the number one hero in Japan and possibly the world, All Might himself.
"No way, that's All Might!"
"Is he wearing his silver age costume?"
"How is his cape moving?"
The class all had their questions for the hero, no one expecting that he would be our instructor for hero basics. Even I was shocked, we were going to be able to learn under All Might himself, the other years are gonna be so jealous when they hear about this.
"WELCOME TO THE MOST IMPORTANT CLASS AT UA HIGH. THINK OF IT AS 'HERO-ING 101'. HERE, YOU WILL LEARN THE BASICS OF BEING A POR AND WHAT IT MEANS TO FIGHT IN THE NAME OF GOOD! LET'S GET INTO IT, TODAY'S LESSON WILL PULL NO PUNCHES!" All Might started doing some flexes as he spoke, showing off a bit as the class watched in wonder. Then he pulled out a card that read 'Battle'.
"Combat training?" I looked around the class and some of us were looking excited while others were worried.
"BUT ONE OF THE KEYS TO BEING A HERO IS…" He pulled out a remote and clicked a button, opening some lockers in the wall of the class. "LOOKING GOOD! THESE WERE DESIGNED FOR YOU BASED ON YOUR QUIRK REGISTRATION FORMS AND REQUESTS YOU SENT IN BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED."
Everyone was excited to try on their costumes, it was one of the best parts about being a hero after all. You could practically feel the excitement buzzing in the air. Kuriboh who had been floating around this entire time had decided that he wanted to take a rest on the head of the number one hero who didn't seem to notice at all.
"NOW EVERYONE GET CHANGED AND MEET AT TRAINING GROUND BETA!" And with that he was gone, Kuriboh holding onto his hair tufts as he zoomed out of the room. The other students all snickered at what had just happened, while I face palmed.
"So, is anyone else as excited as I am?" Awase was the first person to jump up and grab his costume case, others following behind him.
"Truly we are fortunate to be taught by the number one hero, Sir All Might." Shishida also grabbed his case though in a much more restrained manner. He had a smile on his face though so we could tell he was excited.
"We should hurry, don't want to keep All Might waiting." Kendo hurried us along, making sure that we all made our ways to the changing rooms.
I was excited to try on my costume, though not quite as excited as the other guys were. My costume wasn't anything special, just a self-repairing shirt, red leather jacket and pants, with a scarf that was half black and half white, similar to [Contrast Hero Chaos]. The reason it was self-repairing was because it was made to accommodate my quirk that allowed me to change my body. If I had a regular costume, it would be ripped to shreds after I used my quirk once.
(A/N: For those wondering, think of it like Jaden Yuki's uniform from GX after he fused with Yubel.)
"Nice outfit Clay, though I thought it would've been a bit… more." Awase complimented me and also insulted me at the same time, I don't know how he did that?
"Well I could probably do more with my costume but with my quirk changing my body too much anything I use will probably end up destroyed. At least with this costume it can repair itself after growing wings or a tail." The other guys nodded their head as we made our way to the training ground. It didn't take too long to put on our costumes, especially me, it was pretty much just putting some clothes on.
Waiting for us there were the girls, their costumes were a bit less sophisticated then what the other guys were using, like Shiozaki who was wearing what looked like a with toga, and Yanagi who was wearing a kimono and Tokage wearing a skin tight purple body suit.
"THEY SAY THAT THE COSTUMES MAKE THE HEROES AND YOU ARE THE PROOF OF THAT. TAKE THIS TO HEAR. FROM NOW ON YOU ARE ALL HEROES IN TRAINING! NOW. SHALL WE GET STARTED YOU BUNCHA NEWBIES?" We all cheered after hearing All Might compliment us, happy that he liked our hero costumes.
Kuriboh was still sitting on his head, the hero not bothering to remove the little furball from its perch. Some of us laughed as the monster began moving around to get into a more comfortable position.
"Sir, this is the fake city from our entrance exam. Are we perhaps performing another urban battle?" Shishida questioned the hero who seemed happy that someone spoke out.
"ACTUALLY WE WILL BE MOVING TWO STEPS AHEAD. MOST OF THE VILLAIN FIGHTS YOU SEE ON THE NEWS TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE. HOWEVER, STATISTICALLY SPEAKING, RUN-INS WITH THE MOST DASTARDLY EVILDOERS TAKE PLACE INDOORS." The class nodded their heads at what All Might was saying. It was really only either desperate people, people who thought they were just better than others, or the real power houses who were public with their crimes.
"BACKROOM DEALS, HOME INVASIONS, SECRET UNDERGROUND LAIRS. TRULY INTELLIGENT CRIMINALS STAY HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS. FOR THIS TRAINING EXERCISE, YOU'LL BE SPLIT INTO TEAMS OF GOOD GUYS AND BAD GUYS AND FIGHT TWO-ON-TWO INDOOR BATTLES." Some of the class were a bit apprehensive about going straight into actual fighting.
"Isn't this a bit advanced All Might? Shouldn't we get some sort of training to make sure we don't hurt ourselves or something?" Tsuburaba questioned. Others were nodding along with him though some were just looking at All Might.
"THE BEST TRAINING IS WHAT YOU GET ON THE BATTLEFIELD! BUT REMEMBER, YOU CAN'T JUST PUNCH A ROBOT THIS TIME. YOU'RE DEALING WITH ACTUAL PEOPLE NOW. THAT MEANS NO BIG ATTACKS THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE." All Might looked at me as he spoke, probably referring to the entrance exam.
"FOR THE EXERCISE TODAY THE SCENARIO IS AS FOLLOWS, THE VILLAINS HAVE HIDDEN A NUCLEAR MISSLE SOMEWHERE IN THEIR HIDEOUT. THE HEROES MUST TRY TO FOIL THEIR PLANS. TO DO THAT THE GOOD GUYS EITHER HAVE TO CATCH THE EVILDOERS OR RECOVER THE WEAPON. LIKEWISE, THE BAD GUYS SUCCEED IF THEY PROTECT THEIR PAYLOAD OR CAPTURE THE HEROES." All Might explained the scenario after bringing out a script from a pocket. Some of us sweat dropped, not really understanding how the number one hero could be like this.
"How will you be splitting us up All Might?" I asked the question this time, I know that people would probably flock to me to be on my team, so I wanted to know if he had some sort of plan.
"WE'LL CHOOSE TEAMS BY DRAWING LOTS!" All Might pulled out a box with a hole in the side. "THERE ARE 20 BALLS IN HERE, EACH WITH A LETTER AND A PARTNER WITH THAT SAME LETTER. NOW, WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST?"
I stepped up and reached my hand into the box, grabbing the first ball I could feel. I pulled my hand back out and it revealed that I was in group A. I stepped aside and the next person stepped forth to choose their team.
After everyone selected their balls, it happened that I was paired with Nirengeki Shoda. Some of the other students looked a bit down that they weren't on my team and were now silently hoping that they wouldn't be put against me.
"NOW THEN, LETS DETERMINE THE FIRST MATCH BY ONCE AGAIN DRAWING LOTS." All Might pulled out two more boxes, one black and one white with the word's villain and heroes on them. The hero dug his arm in and stirred around the box before pulling two different balls with different letters on them. "THE FIRST TEAMS TO FIGHT TODAY WILL BE TEAM I AS THE HEROES AND TEAM A AS THE VILLAINS."
Guess I'm gonna be a villain today, shouldn't be too hard. Before me and my partner could walk out of the room All Might placed a hand on my shoulder and pulled me aside.
"YOUNG CLAY, I MUST ASK IF YOU CAN RESTRAIN YOURSELF. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS VERY RUDE OF ME TO ASK BUT I SAW WHAT YOUR SUMMONED CREATURE DID IN THE ENTRANCE EXAM AND I DON'T WANT TO ENDANGER ANY OF MY STUDENTS." I nodded my head, and his smile grew wider in response.
"Don't worry All Might, in the entrance exam I decided to make a show. I'll restrict myself to only using my HERO monsters instead of using things like dragons." I gave a thumbs up and returned to my teammate as we walked out of the room to the designated building for the exercise.
"What was All Might talking to you about?" Shoda asked as we walked into the building. We had been given 5 minutes to make any preparations or strategies before the hero team entered the building and the match began.
"He was asking me to take it easy in the exercise, this is only a test after all so it wouldn't be fair if I just ran up to them and captured them." He nodded my head at the explanation, also agreeing that it would be unfair and counterproductive if I didn't give them a chance to do anything.
"I assume that you were given a restriction, may I know what that is?" We arrived at the bomb we were meant to defend and looked around for any openings that our opponents could exploit. There were also some wooden boxes in the room and pipes around, but I didn't see a use for them right now.
"THE VILLAINS HAVE 5 MINUTES STARTING NOW UNTIL THE HEROES STORM THE BUILDING." All Might confirmed that the five-minute planning time had begun from the monitoring room.
"I was told that I shouldn't summon any of my dragons, but I'm restricting myself to not summoning anything. I'll be using the abilities of my monsters, not summoning them." I turned to him after telling him about the restrictions on myself. "So, how long after you strike something can you activate your quirk?"
"As far as I can tell it is about an hour so I can set plenty of traps with my quirk if we need to. What monster do you think you'll use?" With that I begin to think about what sort of monster I should use.
"Based on the quirks of our opponents I should use something that can emit light and fly. The light will stop Kuroiro from getting close to the bomb without either of us or the flight should stop Honenuki from trapping me." I tapped my chin to understand what sort of monster I should transform into.
"While you do that, I'll set some mines on the floors leading up to the stairs, maybe I can stop them from even coming up." Shoda walked out of the room to start punching the floor. By the time he had come back I had decided what monster I should use.
"I've decided, I'll use [Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]. He's able to breath fire from one of his arms and can fly, but in order to make use of the light I need to be in the room." I didn't want to leave my opponents to Shoda, but I didn't know what else I could do.
"Maybe we could create some fires from the boxes in the room." I realized that we could indeed do that, we just needed to strategically place the fire piles so that there were no dark spots in the room.
"Good idea, you start moving the boxes and I'll set them on fire." Shoda nodded his head and began to arrange the boxes so there would be as little dark spots as possible. I took the opportunity to activate my quirk and transform into my selected hero.
From my back, a single white feathered wing appeared and tore through the back of my shirt and jacket. My right arm morphed and shaped itself to become a red dragons head, one that would allow me to expel some fire. My left hand also gained some claws, so I didn't have to worry about being unarmed on that side.
Since my transformation was over quickly, I moved over to help Shoda move the boxes into areas that would reduce the number of shadows before smashing the boxes and then setting the shards on fire. I looked around and once I was satisfied that there were no dark spots, I moved back over to Shoda to think of a plan to deal with the two.
"You said you have mines leading up to the stairwells, what about on the stairs?" He shook his head in denial, probably not thinking about that idea at the time. "That's fine, do you want me to go up front and try to draw them out while you take care of anyone that gets past me?"
"I think that would be for the best. You can make both Honenuki's and Kuroiro's quirks obsolete so there is no doubt that you should be the vanguard. I'll wait in this room for anyone that gets past you, most likely Kuroiro will use his quirk to slip past you and head straight to the bomb, so I'll be here to stop him." With a plan set I readied myself by the door of the room, waiting for All Might to start the trial.
"THE HERO TEAM MAY NOW ENTER THE BUILDING, GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE." After a minute of waiting, it was finally time, the trial had begun. I rushed out of the room as fast as I could, using my one wing to increase my speed and reaching the second floor by the time the hero team also reached the second floor.
"Shoda, I'm on the second floor by the stairwell. Honenuki is across from me with Kuroiro, I'll try to stop them here but be prepared for Kuroiro to slip past me." I spoke to Shoda through the earpiece that All Might gave both teams at the start of the exercise.
"So, you came to face us yourself Clay. Honestly, I'm not surprised. No offense to Shoda, but I don't really think that if you were going serious you would need any of his help." Honenuki began speaking to me, probably trying to distract me from seeing Kuroiro from slipping into the shadows of the wall.
I held out my dragon arm and shot some flames at the student that entered the school through recommendation, ridding the hall of any shadows and forcing him back to the regular world. Honenuki activated his quirk on the floor and quickly dived into the softened floor to avoid my blasts while also dragging Kuroiro with him.
"Shoda, activate your quirk on the mines you placed on the second floor, I want to see what happens when the realize the floor has been trapped." I received an affirmative from my teammate and soon after the floor began exploding from my partner's quirk.
Honenuki and Kuroiro were forced out of the floor so they wouldn't be hurt by the shockwaves from the mines. This made me smile as I rushed towards the pair, holding the capture tape in my non-dragon hand.
Kuroiro tried to meld into the shadows once again and I let him, seeing that there wouldn't be any problems taking out Honenuki quickly. I alerted Shoda that the shadow boy was on his way before returning my attention to Honenuki who was getting up with shaky legs.
"You should know that shockwaves are more powerful in liquids, that's why you didn't use too many isn't it?" Being forced to use a quirk that let him practically swim through anything, Honenuki had also learned what sort of effects multiple things have on liquids such as explosions or heat.
"Yeah, we had multiple areas here mined to stop you from doing a straight approach and I figured it would force you out of any softened liquids, so you don't hurt yourself." I was closing in on the boy quickly, though he didn't seem too distraught about that.
"Clever, though it would've been even smarter if you used a form that could fly." He activated his quirk once again to soften the floor underneath me causing me to sink a bit. I smiled at what he said before spreading my wing.
"Who said I couldn't?" I flapped my wing once and it was as if I was flying with two wings. There was no disturbance in my equilibrium from only having one wing, something that confused me even to this day.
Without letting Honenuki respond to my flight I rushed at the boy and slammed him against the wall. He hit his head against the wall, though with his helmet on he shouldn't have much damage there. Without wasting any time, I tied my capture tape around his arm and left to go help Shoda if he needed it.
"HONENUKI HAS BEEN CAPTURED. THERE IS STILL 10 MINUTES LEFT IN THE MATCH." All Might called out from the intercoms. It was good to know there was still time left in case something went wrong.
I rushed up to the top floor where we had placed the bomb, entering the room where Shoda and Kuroiro were duking it out for the bomb. Kuroiro couldn't use his quirk to get close to the bomb because of the fires we set and wasn't as skilled a fighter as Shoda who had practiced boxing.
When I had stepped into the room Kuroiro backed away from Shoda and turned to look at me before pausing. He looked between me, Shoda and the bomb before sighing in defeat and holding his hands up. "I surrender, against a demon such as yourself my darkened soul stands no chance."
"KUROIRO HAS SURRENDERED, THE VILLAIN TEAMS WINS!" With a mighty yell, All Might announced the results as we made our way out of the building. I went over to pick up Honenuki and make sure he was sent to Recovery Girl after being hit in the head. The drones took him away and After I was sure there wasn't going to be any problems, I returned to the monitoring room.
"GOOD WORK EVERYONE, YOU ALL PERFORMED ADMIRABLY IN THIS EXERCISE AND MADE SURE NOT TO GO OVERBOARD." All Might held a thumbs up at the three of us before continuing. "DON'T WORRY THOUGH ABOUT WINNING OR LOSING, WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU ALL IMPROVE YOURSELF."
"AND ON THAT NOTE, WE NEED TO DO A REVIEW OF THIS EXERCISE BEFORE WE MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ONE. DOES ANYONE WANT TO TAKE A GANDER AT WHO WAS THE MVP OF THIS MATCH?" All Might turned to look at the class and waited for some to put their hands up.
Eventually Kendo did which caused her to be selected to answer. "Sir, I believe that Clay was the MVP of the match. His planning with his teammate allowed him to disable a strategy that allowed the opposing team an easy way to bypass him, and he also planned to use his own quirk to ensure that even if he was bypassed there was an extra layer of defence. He also chose a form that allowed him to counter his opponents' abilities, disabling Kuroiro from melding into the shadows and rendering Honenuki's softening obsolete unless he used it to escape. Although he could've used a different form, like his light speed form that we saw yesterday in the quirk apprehension test, I believe he didn't do it to allow this exercise to go the way you had planned. That said, if this was a real scenario, Clay should've gone for the fastest and most guaranteed method to ensure his opponents were captured."
All Might look stunned at everything Kendo just said, probably thinking along the lines of 'She said even more than what I was going to say'. I smiled at her, glad that she was able to see that I held back to allow people to actually have a chance in the exercise.
"YOUNG KENDO IS CORRECT; CLAY IS THE MVP OF THIS MATCH. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT I ASKED YOUNG CLAY TO HOLD BACK DURING THE TRIAL SO AS TO NOT CAUSE ANY HARM TO ANY OF HIS OPPONENTS. IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY MY DECISION, PLEASE BRING IT UP WITH ME AND WE CAN DISCUSS IT." Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing in the idea that I would be needing to hold back for a while.
I didn't mind too much though; it was fun to have a real battle without it being over in seconds. I'll try to not use too many of my overpowered transformations, but in the sports festival, I'm going to go all out.
"NOW THEN, LETS GET THIS NEXT MATCH UNDERWAY! TEAMS B AS THE HEROES AND TEAM F AS THE VILLAINS. GOOD LUCH TO ALL OF YOU." Kendo, Awase, Komori and Kodai walked out of the room, heading towards the battle site. Kendo and Awase were team B while Komori and Kodai were the villains.
I looked around the room for something, finding it still perched on All Might's head. Kuriboh was playing with the tufts of hair All Might always had up, though either All Might didn't mind or still didn't know was up for debate. I decided that maybe I should bring this up with him.
"Um, All Might, you are aware of the creature on your head, right?" All Might turned to me when I called for him before reaching on top of his head to grab Kuriboh.
"AH, I WAS WONDERING WHAT THAT STRANGE FEELING WAS. IS THIS PERHAPS ONE OF YOUR SUMMONS YOUNG CLAY, IT IS QUITE THE CUTE ONE." All might began stroking the fur on the top of Kuriboh's head, causing the furball to make a happy noise.
"Yeah, his name is Kuriboh and he's probably one of my cutest monsters. I'm sorry if he was bugging you, although I can control my summons, I tend to let them have their own free will." I apologized for letting Kuriboh loose, but All Might just laughed it off.
"NONSENSE YOUNG CLAY, IT IS QUITE ADMIRABLE THAT YOU TREAT THESE CREATURES OF YOURS WITH RESPECT. THERE IS ALSO NO WORRIES THAT YOU WILL GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE SCHOOL, WE ENCOURAGE QUIRK USE HERE SO IT WOULD BE HYPOCRITICAL IF WE WERE TO PUNISH YOU FOR THIS." That made me breath a sigh of relief, I really didn't want to deal with problems for having Kuriboh out.
"Then if it's alright with you sir, could I summon a couple more monsters while we're in this class? They won't hurt anyone so that's not a problem and they aren't big either so there's plenty of room." I was hoping that I could summon out a bunch of my cuter monsters and maybe start having them as like our class mascots or something like that.
"I SEE NO HARM IN IT, JUST MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THEM." All Might gave me the go ahead, so I quickly decided which monsters I wanted to summon. They wouldn't be too powerful, unless you were a sucker for cute things that its.
I decided I would bring out 4 more monsters along with Kuriboh and those monsters were: [Fluffal Dog], [Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle], [Kidmodo Dragon] and [Decoy Dragon]. The first 3 were only summoned because they were cute as hell, while [Decoy Dragon] was summoned because he has some social anxiety.
Some of my classmates looked over to see what I was doing, and when they saw me with my monsters summoned, the girls that were currently present in the room instantly rushed over to them and began cooing over them.
Fluffal Dog jumped into Pony's arms and began yapping much to the American girls delight, Kidmodo Dragon allowed Tokage to pick him up and stroke him, while Crystal beast Ruby Carbuncle jumped between the legs of Yanagi and Shiozaki. Decoy Dragon however hid behind me, scared of the new people that were suddenly crowding around it.
I reassured that they weren't going to hurt it, but it didn't help and he continued to hide behind me. I figured that I would keep him summoned, though I would make sure to keep him close to me and explain to others that he was shy and had anxiety if they wanted to meet him. Maybe if he eventually got used to these people he would open up to them and allow them to pet him.
A/N: TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE FIGHT, I'M NOT TOO EXPERIENCED WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING SO I'LL DO MY BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ENJOYABLE WHILE ALSO BEING WHAT I THINK IS REALISTIC.
ANYWAY, THANKS FOR READING!
