[ closed ] Just teenagers being teenagers

[queenofminiskirts]

WHO: Kaoru and Kirishima
WHERE: Near the shore
WHEN: April 6
WHAT: Just two teenagers with powers training.
WARNINGS: None, probably.



[She wasn't really able to do all of her usual training routines without the proper equipment (and she hadn't even found any needles or thread to practise with either), but there's at least one thing she can do to practise, still.

So she heads to the shore in the south, standing on the dock as she concentrated on making water stream into the air like a snake. She was frowning in concentration as she made it slide through the air in a slow loop. The edges of the water weren't smooth and the motions were a bit jerky as well and it didn't seem like it'd take much for her to lose her concentration...]

[From personal experience, she was sure it was probably because he'd met one of the bad ones recently. Those experiences tended to leave an impression, after all. And she'd opened her mouth to say it but then decided against it at the very last moment. She wasn't sure how to ask without bringing up her job. So she just smiled a little.]

...you're welcome.

[Oh, but she did love talking about her friends and about Minamoto. Especially when she got to talk about their good points.]

It's probably because we're not very good at housework, but there's something nice about a guy who likes to cook and clean. When we still lived with him, our fridge was always stuffed full of delicious food!

[...even Kaoru wouldn't explode a washing machine though.

But also...punching boulders?]

What sort of stamina training do you need to do?

[He is oblivious to her seeing through him and understanding, but if he knew he would be grateful.

As things are he only laughs and flashes her his teeth in a grin.]

We have somebody like that too in our dorms! Rikidou draws his power from sugar, so he bakes and cooks a real lot and often shares with us when he makes more than he needs. His food is super-delicious too! And Bakugou makes the best spicy food, even though it's really hot and spicy!

[He wags his head for a moment and puts his hands against his belt as he looks for a good example to answer her question (also to discreetly check if all the soaking didn't make his pants slip down or any of the white stripes they have see-through.)]

Quirk and general one! For general one I do running, squats, push-ups, lifting weights, some stuff to work on my agility, the usual combat moves training, stretching... I aim usually for 200 reps each, but sometimes I change it up when I am done quicker than usual or feel like I ought to focus on something in particular.

As for quirk training, a lot of it is simply based on keeping up my hardening and facing tough challenges as long as possible. Breaking and cutting concrete boulders is good to keep my basics sharp, but recently I've really taken to ask other strong people to hit me with their all instead. Trying to match and counter them is the best way for me to improve myself!

Rikidou must be a popular guy! [She knows cooking definitely increased Minamoto's popularity.] I have to say though, sweets are more of a chick magnet than spicy food.

[Well, for most girls anyway. She'll admit that not everyone's tastes are the same. There must be people who would prefer the spicy food but the majority? The guy who can bake is probably going to be more popular.

She listens and...wow, that's an impressive amount of training.]

You sure are hardworking. [Their own training besides the basic control related ones were mostly scenario based and even if it weren't physical training was less important for her given her powers. But as she listens though, she seems to get an idea.] How about I help with your quirk training?

[explodosafe]

For that evening he sure was! And I guess? I never really looked who prefers what. Do you like spicy or sweet food more?

[He beams at her, mistaking it for a compliment.]

Thanks! I'm trying to be as dedicated to it as I can so that I can keep up with the others! And you would?! That's be really awesome!!

[queenofminiskirts]

[She laughs.] Well, I did say sweets are a chick magnet, but the truth is, you can't have too many sweets. [It's fattening!] Spicy food is nice as long as it's not crazy spicy.

[It was a compliment! She can give out those!]

So I just need to hit you, right? [She thinks, with something but uh. They're at the beach. There's nothing but water and sand.] Anything I should know before we start?

[explodosafe]

Yep! Hit me as hard as you can, it doesn't matter if you send me flying! That's actually good, I wanna test and train my hardness after all!

[To make his point he hardens up and crosses his arms in front of his chest, smile cocky and ready to defend.]

I...don't know what happened with my HTML up there.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She nods but she was watching him in consideration because...even though she volunteered to do this it's still a bit strange. No one has every asked her to do something like this or offered to do this.

She took a deep breath, then she grinned.

Right, they could do this. Besides, he was training to be a hero right? He wasn't just some cocky teenager who didn't know what his limits were and she had hit enough criminals and done enough training exercises (and thrown Kiritsubo and Minamoto into enough walls) to know how hard was safe and how hard wasn't.

She tilts her head with a clear challenge in her eyes as she holds a hand up, palm facing towards him.]

If you're sure, Ei-chan. Don't blame me if something goes wrong. [It won't. She won't let that happen.

And that's all the warning he's getting before she's pushing out with her power, hard enough to move a boulder.]
