>"Let's begin your Practical Exam." Mr. Aizawa says as he looks over the twenty of you with an unenthused expression that makes it clear that no matter how important this is for you and your break, this isn't anything special to him. "As with any exam, it is possible to fail it. Do so and you won't be attending the training camp."

>"Sure are a lot of teachers here just to watch us trash some bots…" Earphone Jack comments next to you.

And she isn't wrong. Next to your homeroom teacher stands Cementoss along with Ectoplasm, Midnight (looking cool as always), Present Mic, Power Loader, Snipe (Is he carrying a rifle on his back?) and Thirteen.

"And why are there ten buses runnin'?" You ask, nodding at the buses waiting for you. Last time you were left loose in an arena against the marching machines… "Ya think we'll be split up this time 'round?"

>"Knowing you guys, I assume you already have a vague idea of how this might go…" Mr. Aizawa continues explaining, prompting a couple of your classmates to cheer.

>"HAAH! A ROBOT RUMBLE! LIKE THE ENTRANCE EXAM, RIGHT!?" Chargebolt says, already celebrating.

>"FIREWORKS! CURRY! TRUTH OR DARE!!" Pinky says, pumping her fists. "I CAN SEE IT ALREADY!"

For a fraction of a second, it looks like Mr. Aizawa is going to answer, moving his head to the side. Instead, the Principal pops out of his capture weapon.

>"NOT QUITE!" He says as he shimmies out of the scarf. "Various circumstances have demanded we revise our exam formats!"

You can see the color drain from both Chargebolt and Pinky at that. It would be funny, if you weren't counting on that too.

>"The Principal? It has to be serious…" Cellophane muses, reeling as Thirteen helps the Principal down like the cute fuzzy animal he is.

>"A revision? If the previous years all faced robots, these circumstances must have arisen recently." Creati asks, tapping her chin. "Is it in any way related to the League of Villains?"

>"Nothing escapes you, does it? I can't tell you, but you aren't far from the mark!" The Principal asks in a cheery tone as he walks to the front of the assembled teachers. "We need to change our focus to battles against flesh-and-blood opponents. It is CRITICAL that our teacher simulates practical experience as closely as possible!"

>"As such… You students will be pairing up..." He says as he waves towards the teachers behind him. "...and fighting one of the teachers you see here."

>"Against a teacher?!" Uravity asks, understandably alarmed. While she's the one to voice it, it's clear everyone else is just as concerned. Heck, you too were ready for robots, not pros!

"Ah guess that 'splains the buses…" You say, nervously digging with the tip of your boot. "Ah reckon it took a whole more than just two of us last time…"

>"Your pairings and assigned teacher… Have already been decided." The Principal continues his explanation. "Your battle style, moves, your grades and even your friendships with your fellow students… All these factors and more were considered, so without further ado…"

>"First, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu. You two are against me." Mr. Aizawa says, unraveling part of his scarf and revealing a fairly intimidating grin. "Next is Midoriya, your teammate is Bakugo."

As expected, both boys start stuttering at that. One clearly nervous, the other rather indignant.

"Your opponent… WILL BE ME!" A familiar, boastful voice says from above as the country's number one hero lands in front of you, his signature grin on his face. "You'll have to work together to win… So come at me, you two!"

>"RIP." Pinky jokes, but you can't laugh. It's hard to imagine that fight ending without them needing some bedrest.

>"Ten stages have been prepared, and all teams will begin simultaneously." Mr. Aizawa says, resuming his explanation. "I'll leave to your opponents to explain the guidelines to you. None of the areas are outside the school grounds, but I'd rather not waste any more time, so here are the remaining pairings… Ashido and Kaminari, you'll go against the Principal. Aoyama and Hagakure will face Thirteen. Present Mic, you are against Koda and Jiro, try not to slack off. Power Loader, you have to deal with Shoji and Iida. Asui and Tokoyami, Ectoplasm will be your opponent. Midnight, Sero and Mineta are yours, try not to break them. Sato and Kirishima, you'll be up against Cementoss. Snipe, your marks are Walker and Uraraka. Now get on the busses, there's no reason to stay here any longer."

"Heh… Thought Ah dodged the whole getting shot at school…" You nervously joke, looking at the hero you are supposed to fight and missing your old hat once more. Uravity only sighs.

>"I'll take you to our bus, gals." Snipe says, walking towards the buses. Of course, you follow him. "I'll explain it all about the exam once we get to the arena, so try to relax for now."

>"I've been trying to improve my combat ability, but I'm not sure what I can do against gunfire." Uravity comments as both of you get into the bus. "Disarming a thug wouldn't be hard, but Snipe… Even trying to get close enough to try that will be a pain…"

"Ah'm on the same boat there. Pretty sure Ah could tear it off his hand, but Snipe can bend bullets." You admit, sitting across her on the bus. "Bend. Bullets. Kinda hard to beat a cowboy like that."

>"Right…" She says, clearly about to say something else, but stops herself. "At least we have Mr. Tin."

>"I told you to relax, there'll be handicaps in place to give y'all a chance." The pro hero says from the front of the bus. "But thanks for bringing up that robot pal of yours, I have a thing or two to say about it."

"Uh? What's it?" You say, opening its pouch so the tiny robot can see from your belt. You don't talk behind anyone's back.

>"Well, this is strictly a one-versus-two kind of affair. You can't bring friends along, only tools." The hero says, pulling out the gun on his back… You don't recognize the model or brand, but it's hard not to recognize a .50 cal barrel, likely AMR. The kind of rifle that'd shatter your shoulder if you tried to fire it. "And tools might break out there. Keep that in mind."

>"Correct." Tin chimes in with its androginous, childish voice. "But tools break all the time. As long as the task is completed successfully, they can always be replaced."

You look at Uravity, sharing her uneasy look at the implication and close Tin's pouch.

Soon enough you arrive at your destination, a replica of a massive underground parking lot, dimly lit by tiny lights on the not-quite-high not-quite-low ceiling, the entire place looking and smelling like nothing but empty dankness and traces of oil and grease.

>"Now, before we get to the fisticuffs, allow me to explain how it'll go." Snipe says, adjusting his hat with one hand and holding a pair of self-adjusting hexagonal cuffs on the other, the rifle still on his back. "Y'all have 30 minutes to get these here 'cuffs on me or escape. Just one getting away will do."

>"It's more complicated than the old capture tape, but it's kinda similar to our past training, right?" Uravity observes, taking the handcuffs and shaking them a bit.

>"I reckon it's not. Y'all fought your classmates on equal footing, or the whole class against a teacher. This time it's just the two of you against me, while I'll do my darndest to make sure this gets as close to a real battle as it can get, so you better start thinking of me as a real villain." Snipe says, the twang in his accent doing little to make his words sound less menacing. "Now, suppose we do meet in battle… if you fight 'n' win, that's just fine. But if you start feeling worn down or overwhelmed, I reckon you can always switch tactics and flee to fetch some help. It'd be the only sensible choice if it weren't for these…"

The hero raises a rather tacky brace, then puts on one around each of his wrists and one around each ankle.

>"Some kid in the support department won a contest and some extra credits comin' up with these Ultra Compressed Weights…" Snipe says, slowly raising his arms and taking out his signature revolver, giving it a slow twirl before returning it to its holster. "I'd say an extra fifty percent of my bodyweight on my limbs is bound to give you a fighting chance."

"At least we are over a snowball in hell now." You mutter, unsure of how to tackle this exam.

>"Teacher, what are we being evaluated on?" Uravity asks, looking at the concrete pillars all around you.

>"Glad you asked. All you really need to do is get out or take me out, but you'll get penalized for collateral damage and reckless behaviour. Don't think to try to abuse the fact I won't shoot to kill, or might end up in whatever remedial hell Aizawa has ready for you, and getting away without crossing the gate won't count." He explains, then points deeper into the dimly lit space. "Now get to the center of the lot and wait for the signal to start."

>"At least I'm here with you… Any ideas?" Uravity asks as you pass a row of pillars identical to the last row of pillars you walked by. If not for the distant bright spot that it's the gate and the ever fainter smell of grass coming that way, you wouldn't be able to make heads or tails of the place. "I figure if anyone knows what to do about Snipe it's gotta be you. Or Deku, but he'd have a plan for every hero."

>What do you do?

>[We fight! "We gotta find him and close the distance. If we avoid gettin' a few holes shot into us it should be easy! Pretty sure Ah could track him by smell…"]
>[Get to the exit. "We are gonna get shot at… Better make it quick and get out of dodge as fast as possible."]
>[...You could split up. "Say… Only one of us has to make it through, right?"]
>[Why would you know?... Oh, for fuck's sake... "Why, cuz he's a cowboy?"]
>[Write in.]

As always, write-ins in general, for dialogue and for out-of-the-box plans are not only welcome, but encouraged!

I'll support this, but I'd like to see if Ushi could get Tin to give us a couple of doohickeys that would let her and Ochako talk.

Iean Ushi never heard about the Cow Lady heroine

>>4497853
How in the hoodang-hippity-hell did you get art from Genzoman?

Mad props for this one, at any rate.

>>4498118
Pony mentioned her when we were hanging out painting figurines.

>>4497860
>write-in

Let me preface this by saying I really think we should hear what Uraraka has to say about how she thinks she could best help. Last time, Ushi just assumed Uraraka could do something without even knowing exactly how her powers worked or if she even could. Ushi ain't no slow learner. Let's not do that again.

>Have Uraraka levitate as many small objects (bags, cans, boxes etc.) that could potentially conceal a miniature person in them as possible, and send them floating towards the exit all at once as a distraction.

>Assuming we have some flashbangs or smoke grenades in our kit, we could also mix those in with the floating distraction and rig them to go off if, say, the thing it's floating in is shot and jerks suddenly, in order to make identifying what he's hit harder on Snipe or even blind him.

>Growing big enough to escape in a single stride might work, depending on what potential for collateral looks like and whatnot. Or Ushi could test how good of a ninja sneak she has become and surprise cuff Snipe.

Again, Uravity's input should be sought and respected, else we a poser.

>>4498166
Im would be all for it but she asked for ideas. Going “idk what you wanna do?” at this point would be indecisive.

>>4498165
Yeah i remember Pony gave a poster of her to Ushi. Also apparently she is in a movie and she has a transformation quirk.

>"Heh… Thought Ah dodged the whole getting shot at school…"

I though Ushi was used to get shoted and whipped since she lost part of her hearing playing around with pistol/whip tricks.

>>4497869
No destruction of the area.

>"...you'll get penalized for collateral damage and reckless behaviour."

If that's the case how in hell's bells did Deku and Bakugou managed to not get put in the remedial?

>>4497877
A 50 caliber might. Also we will get punished for area damage so better go sneaky/tiny.

>>4498212
Not at school! She still has some old cards with bullet holes and teeth-marks though.
>>4498236
It's about trying to keep unnecessary destruction to a minimum. Some damage is expected, if not required, to fight some high-level threats.

>>4498255
Eh, ironicaly Ochako isn't wrong we do have some experience with getting shot at. Wonder what her reaction would be to that.

Can or should we include how we are gonna escape or will that be for a vote? Because so far i think the sneaky part is the best option, even with snipe eyesight.

Also what do we have besides Tin and Bread in our utility belt? Have we voted for what we have with us already?

Ushi's got a pretty good pitching arm right? What if she has Uravity remove gravity from the loaf of bread and then shrinks her and has her hold on to dear life to the loaf of bread. Ushi then pitches the loaf of bread with an Austin Tossin' and at the end of the throw shrinks herself while holding on to the bread sending them both sailing for the goal at high speeds. Once they clear the goal Ushi can re-expand the bread to act as cushion so they don't paste themselves on a wall.

Alternatively if we want to put a lot of faith in Ochako, Ushi can shrink Uravity and the force Snipe to engage herself. If Ochako can successfully reach Snipe and get hands on him she'll be able to ragdoll him regardless of the fact she's the size of a barbie doll.

>>4498515
If normal people are able to snipe fast moving targets i think Snipe, who is a shooter is pretty capable of shooting any thing Ushi will toss. Also someone else already pointed out a target without gravity or weigthless becomes harder to dodge in the air.

Ushi or Ochaco have any coins? They would make for good shields when expanded and could potentially be tossed if Ushi gets a clear shot on snipe.

>>4498535
>"...Snipe can bend bullets." You admit, sitting across her on the bus. "Bend. Bullets. Kinda hard to beat a cowboy like that."

I don't think shields will be enough dude. We need to keep outside of his sight and cover won't do much if he uses that 50 caliber.

If he's using 50 cal I don't understand how he's not shooting to kill...

Like, even if he's aiming for limbs that's a fucking amputation or massive internal trauma...

>>4498599
Maybe he only means to use it if the situation warrants, IE if he sees a giga-tin.
A man like snipe could use the versatility afforded by an arsenal of different guns.

>>4498602
That was how I read it. That he was saying "Fair warning, if you bring out the giant robot I'll bring out my anti-materiel rifle, so either don't use them or be prepared for them to take heavy damage".

>>4498588
This is really annoying because MHA plays really fast and loose on what a normal human is capable of. Either way it will serve as something to block his line of sight. Did Ushi notice whether his rifle was bolt action or not?

>>4497860
> Have Tin compile a dossier on Snipe's abilities via his internet connection and computer brain.

>>4498641
I don't think she reconized the gun. It's most likely custom made, much like his pistols. She did think it looked like a AMR rfile

>>4498671
yeah but if she got a good look at it it would be pretty obvious if it were bolt action or not. If it is it means there will be a window between shots where he has to chamber a new round. Could be relevant info.

>>4498207
I don't mean to punt entirely, that's what the rest of my post is about. I just want to make sure we listen to her too if she has any questions or concerns, or anything else to add or suggest.

>>4498166
Supporting this excellent plan.

I think we have a miniature fire extinguisher we can enlarge for improvised smoke or there may be some hanging on the walls.

Pulling a fire alarm or cutting power could also be used as a distraction if possible. The mask we have could be used by us or Uraraka to help with the smoke/darkness.

You are facing an experienced gunman in an enclosed space. There's not too much you can tell Uravity about the type of exam you are about to face.

"Well, are gonna get shot at… Better to make it quick and get out of dodge as fast as possible." You tell her, sighing. "Other than that, wear earmuffs. Gunfire is the one thing Ah know is better than whipcracks at bustin' eardrums. ‘nd we are in an enclosed space underground so that goes double."

>"That's it? What about stopping the bullets?" She asks, looking over her shoulder and pinching her arm. "...Even if this thing wasn't made as ...skintight as it is, I don't think it would do much against guns."

"Oh, don'tcha worry 'bout that, sugah. If he uses that rifle of his, it'll take the whole limb off." You explain to her as you walk, trying to not mentally compare your situation with walking into a slaughterhouse. "Whatever you wear is not gonna make a lick of a difference."

>"T-that's good to know…" Sweat visibly beads on her soft face. "Anything that actually helps?"

"Dunno if it's gonna be of any real use, but Ah think Ah got a couple things." You raise a hand to count your insights with your fingers just as the white circle the middle of the huge lot comes into view. "It's an AMR, so getting hit by that just once 's game over, nothin' to do 'bout that… So Ah think he won't use it unless Ah bring out Tin. But if he does, he'll still need some time to chamber each round, so we'd need to move while he's crankin’ the bolt handle. Ya know, if we aren't lying in a bloody puddle. It's mostly the revolver Ah'm more worried 'bout."

>"Right, those are his signature weapons… But revolvers only fire a couple shots, right?" Uravity says, hitting her palm with her fist, a hopeful smile starting to re-emerge on her face. "If we can get him to waste his… Six or so shots, we'll have enough time to get close and cuff him!"

"Eighteen. Per gun." You dash her hopes and almost shudder at the thought of whatever dark ritual his gunsmith must have performed to make that double-cylinder design work without blowing up. "Ah didn't see him carrying both guns, so that's good, but then you gotta take into account the rest of his gear. He's known to toss some mean smoke grenades as cover, so we might not even see him when he reloads, to say nuthin' 'bout smell… Hell, he’ll likely use 'em to disorient us! His mask makes him impervious to it, so he might just start with that and then shoot our kneecaps right off!"

As you come to stand in the circle, waiting for the signal to start, you continue to consider your options. Needless to say, they were mighty slim.

>"Heh… Professionals don't really have weaknesses, do they?" She says, stretching in place. If you had to hazard a guess, she's just trying to burn the same nervous energy that's currently keeping your mind in overdrive. "It makes sense, they are the best for a reason..."

"...Actually, Ah dunno if Ah'd go that far…" You say, tapping your chin to help you focus, mumbling and rambling about a hero you admire as Uravity stares at you with a curious expression. "Weaknesses...Ah know he can see through smoke… But is it thermals or sumthin' else? There might be something there… Also, Snipe can shoot and control a handful of bullets at a time, but Ah've never seen him fan fire, so it can't be too many… Maybe we can overwhelm him with a cloud of trash?... What do you think, anything Ah missed?"

She looks surprised at you asking her a question, which hurts a little bit again. You made assumptions once and it didn't work out, time to prove you do learn from the past.

>"Huh? Well…" Uravity starts, scratching the back of her neck and looking up, to the lights about 7 feet above you. "I don't know as much about him as you… I was thinking that he still needs to see what he's shooting at to use his quirk, right? Most quirks don't work indirectly, I don't think he can use thermal cameras… We could try to take out the lights? I'm not sure blindly fired bullets are any better for our circumstances though..."

"No, that's a good point. If we are gonna make a break for it, makin' it as hard as possible to spot us might be a good plan."

>"I see everyone is in position?" A voice asks through unseen speakers. "Let's begin the final exam for U.A. High's First Years!... Ready?"

"Say, if I handed you a bunch of stuff, could you make it float?" You say, lowering your stance and getting ready to jump out of the way on the off chance you can react fast enough. "Ah could try takin' out the lights 'n' Ah can hand you a mask, Ah just need to check if Ah packed correc-"

>"GO!" The voice interrupts you and not a second later a green canister flies lazily towards you and Uravity. Despite knowing it's an irritating smoke grenade and even expecting it, both of you immediately jump behind a pillar, not wanting to be caught in the open when lead starts flying.

>"Well heroes… Ah reckon it's time for y'all to show what you are made of." Snipe says, far behind the growing smokescreen. "'cause we teachers are not gonna hold back, so it better be the sterner stuff."

You sure are, but you also wish you were made of bulletproof stuff.

>What do you do?

>[Enlarge your whip to hit the lights to bits as you run! If Uravity makes all the shiny debris and everything you can give her float, it should make it even harder for him to spot you!

Once we’ve sown enough confusion, we need a plan to capitalize. I say we:

If you could, you’d follow Uravity's plan as a ninja would, precisely and cleanly killing the lights all simultaneously. With his mask and smoke, the sudden darkness of a total blackout would certainly affect Snipe worse than you or Uravity and you could sneak out without making much of a fuss. But you don't have the time to look for a light switch, nor do you want to risk getting shot in the back while flipping it…

That just means you won't be able to do it discreetly, but instead by applying copious amounts of force, and God knows you are good at that. Quickly glancing at the lights overhead, they don't seem to be embedded in the concrete ceiling but instead hanging down and covered by a metallic mesh.

"Everything you can get your hands on, float it! The worse his line of sight, the better the odds get for us!" You shout over the din of dispensing gas and some probing shots from Snipe. You wrap your hand around your whip's handle, refamiliarizing yourself with its weight, length and girth before putting years of practice to the test as you dash towards the next pillar. You infuse mass into the whip as it lashes out, noting how it extends faster than it thickens and feeling the cracker wrap around the metal surrounding the drab and oddly shaped light fixture you were aiming for. Naturally, you pull with all the strength your arm can muster while still running and tear it off the ceiling.

A shower of sparks discharges in the surrounding air for a scant second before the shadows push in, the already gloomy area getting noticeably dimmer as the mesh of metal and glass slams into the concrete floor behind you, spraying glass shards around.

You barely have a moment to celebrate your successful idea before more rounds hit the curved side of the pillar you are now hiding behind, cracking its surface as they embed in it and send concrete dust into the air. Each gunshot reverberates in the cavernous chamber a dozen times over before fading off.

Good, the bigger the mess, the best for you.

The thundering noise makes your ears twitch out of control, trying and failing to locate the source of the echoes. You can only be thankful that your hair keeps that instinct hidden. Looking back, you see Uravity worried yet determined to help behind the initial pillar. You give her a smile and nod for her to follow before doing it all again, even faster this time as you continue your diagonal path from your starting point. Whip, wrap, pull, CRASH!, providing cover as you take down the next light fixture in the row.

Now fully confident in your technique and execution, you waste no more time behind the second pillar, immediately ripping the next light off the ceiling as you sprint towards a third. You get the sense that the shots are starting to be more directed at your general position rather than specifically at you. Snipe can still clearly tell where you are, but you think that's due to the helluva ruckus you are making as you spring from cover to cover… You still wouldn't want to take the risk and stand in the open though.

The next time, the fall of the light wasn’t just the usual violent crash you were getting used to. The sound of glass and metal was immediately followed by a rhythmical chiming sound as a shimmering curtain of glass shards spread through the air, slowly floating and reflecting what little light was left in the area into what looks like a miniature night sky, full of big bright stars.

Behind you, you see your partner pick up another destroyed light fixture and pitch it up, letting its glimmering charge spread. Noticing her actually using her helmet's visor for once, you wrap your half-cape around your lower face and neck. Glass bits are pretty but you don't want them anywhere near your face.

"Atta girl!!" You root for her before trying your routine once more, this time knowing your partner follows behind, tearing down another light with what feels like little more than an application of Everything is Bigger in Texas and a flick of your wrist, making sure the broken light falls near Uravity so she doesn't have to deviate her running line and risk a shot…

At least that'd be your excuse if she were to ask you later why you almost ran into the wall.

"<Fuck>. End of the line." You say as Uravity rushes behind the weird-shaped pillar, coming to lean next to you as the gunshots start breaking and chipping your cover at the final column, sending more dust and debris into the air. "No more room this way."

>"If he's shooting from the gate, trying to go straight there will just make us easy targets!" Your partner summarizes, and you nod in agreement as you catch up on your breathing.

"Ain't like we have much of a choice!" You tell her as you shake your head in a futile attempt to get some sort of respite from the gunshots affecting your ears. "We are like, what, almost halfway there?!? We need to either beat him or get past him! And we can't stay put anyway. Ah reckon these pillars are gonna go up in a dust bowl if he keeps shootin' chunks off them, and Ah don't wanna get trapped under rubble in some damp parkin' lot!"

>"This isn't some cheap parking lot and these pillars can take some hits!" Uravity replies, knocking on the pillar currently standing between you with a smile. "This is a G-Cans replica, people work really hard making sure these projects are almost indestructible!"

"...What does that even mean!?" You ask, starting to get annoyed by this interlude in your progress. The only times you've heard anything about G-Cans, it had nothing to do with any structures and you wished you had punched the pervs in the mouth.

>"It's where the water goes in case of a flood!" She sort-of explains, clearly oversimplifying it to the point of uselessness but seemingly equally exasperated.

"That still sounds like any underground parking lot during hurricane season!" You yell back, trying to be heard over the new volley of gunfire hitting the pillar and the concrete chunks flying off it. "Besides, it looks just like the area the Power Rangers always end up fighting in!"

>"What does THAT mean!?" Uravity asks back, raising her voice further and out-stretching her arms as she releases more debris to float into the line of fire. You aren't sure if the gunshots are getting louder or your hearing is losing sensitivity, but it's hard to hear her over the increasingly large cracks of concrete growing on the riddled pillar. "The G-Cans are known for looking like a temple!"

"Ah'm just sayin' the place looks like a swampy-ass public garage!" You retort, paying more attention to what she's doing than what she's saying when you notice something strange in a shard of fallen concrete.

Scanning your surroundings for a second, you quickly spot another shard with the same aberration safely behind the pillar and pick it up.

>"And whatever show you saw them in, the G-Cans are where mysterious and pivotal scenes are filmed! They are awe inspiring!" Uravity continues to jabber on the parking lot's merits

"Hey! Have a gander!" You say with some relief, holding up the piece of concrete with a small yellowy-orange splatter. "He's usin' the same wax bullets Tin uses! These things slow down way faster than actual bullets!"

>"-historicall-wait, does that mean it's safe!?" Uravity asks, right as another shot finishes chipping a hole into the pillar, sending pounds of broken concrete rolling on to the floor. She nudges the pile to join the rest of its floating kind in the area.

"<Fuck no!> It just means your blood gets to stay inside you if you’re hit!" You eloquently assert, shimmying to the side and preparing to bolt away if the pillar finishes crumbling to pieces. "Like, not gonna kill anyone... immediately! But unless these pillars are actually flimsy as shit, them wax bullets are still packin’ enough of a punch to cause a trip to Recovery Girl's! Second place to a regular bullet is still pretty freakin' fast!"

>"Not trying to be rude or anything, but doesn't that mean nothing's actually different!?" Your teammate continues to add to the miniature asteroid field at the other side of the pillar. Likely the reason you can't be easily spotted, but you cannot really see what lies ahead either. "We still need a new plan!"

"Well, Ah think Ah'm onto somethin'!..." You say, taking a gamble and poking your head out of cover.

As you suspected, the next shot briefly pushes a line through the cloud showing it having curved around a distant pillar before slamming into the concrete next to your head, leaving your right ear ringing as you jerk back to safety. The dust refills the line nigh immediately, but it's a clue and could be useful.

Normally, there's no chance for most people to dodge a bullet, what people really try to dodge is the aim of the shooter, which would be just as useless against Snipe thanks to his quirk… But the wax bullets are slower. Maybe slow enough to try and dodge them? Certainly still dangerous enough to splinter some bones if you falter though.

>"What would Deku do?" Uravity recites as she looks about, not yelling as you have been doing to hear each other but still barely loud enough for you to make out.

>What do you do?

>[Stay together and keep tearing the lights apart! "New plan is the old plan! We just gotta go diagonally the other way! It's gonna be a lot more dangerous, but it's still the safest idea Ah've got!" [Quirk, Hands, 7d10]]

>>4502809
If we try to dodge the bullets because they're downgraded from real ones, we'd just be taking advantage of the fact it's a training exercise, exactly what Snipe said not to do when he said: "Don't think to try to abuse the fact I won't shoot to kill."

It's also probably bad to use exclamation points in any conversation about sneaking up on someone in the room with you.

>[Signal to Uraraka that the two of you should sneak out.]
And also:
>[Use substitushi jutsu to fill the room with an obscuring mist!]

If Uraraka is thinking tactically like Deku, she'll float us both silently above Snipe under cover of aerosolized mass.

(I'm guessing this is a quirk/outthink roll for Ushi and Uraraka both.)

>>4502809
This >>4502836
Is a great plan, if we use mist and the debris field as cover and float unseen to the top of the roof we can either escape or attack him from above.

>>4502809
Whisper the plan with Uraraka- use substitushi to spawn the decoy and throw it across to a different pillar, at a speed so snipe would notice the movement, but not really notice it's fake.
Meanwhile ochako 0gs the both of us and we climb the pillar were hiding behind and stealth crawl along the ceiling closer to the gate. If Uraraka is worried about her vomit issue, she can get a piggy back ride while we do the 0g maneuvering

>>4502836
Doesn't leaving our mist out of our body really hurt? And if we can't hear ourselves over the gunfire then Snipe won't hear us all the way in the finish line.

>>4502852
If you’re talking about sneaking out to the gate, which it sounds like you are, you should probably modify your vote from ambushing Snipe. Either plan is decent, though I prefer just leaving.

Also, I think holding the mist out was described as like holding our breath? It’s been a while, but we can use it as part of a signature move without the kind of warnings that Austin’ Tossin’ has, so it can’t be too hard on Ushi.

>>4502809
>>4502836
I'll agree to this, though I do prefer it as an escape option rather than as an ambush option. If we do use it as an ambush option, though, we might want to shrink down Uraraka as well, then use a variant of Austin tossin' to push ourselves and Uravity through the air at extremely high speeds so that there's less of a chance of him being able to react before we're right above him. Once we get to that point, well, he doesn't exactly have super strength; if we grow huge and pin him, he can't fire his guns, and thus loses.

>>4502858
I actually want to fight, I don't know where did you get that from.
From using substitushi it was said that it felt like having our fingers stuck in a vacuum, and theres a big difference between leaving a bit of mist behind and making a smoke screen.

>>4502809

Changing my vote from >>4502827

to >>4502836

>>4502868
Okay, cool. I had thought that “And if we can't hear ourselves over the gunfire then Snipe won't hear us all the way in the finish line.” meant you wanted to sneak to the finish line, but I see now you meant that Snipe, who is presumably over at the finish line, wouldn’t be able to hear us.

>>4502836
Uraraka still has problems with floating herself causing nausea, right? Maybe we should have her just float Ushi, while Ushi shrinks and carries her. Having less than a kilogram of weight on her would still allow Ushi to clamber around the ceiling by pushing off of the pillars, and we can re-expand Uraraka when we get closer to Snipe for a sudden ambush.

>>4502809
>[If you can find him, nothing stops you from tossing something back at him! He may be the world's best shot, but that doesn't mean he's any good at dodging!

>>4502809
Oh! Here's an idea, an alternative method to the Out-Think one.

>Wait for Snipe to continue to whittle down the pillar, taking in his position as much as possible as he does so.
>The pillar starts to collapse
>Urarvity gives the whole thing it weightlessness right before it timbers
>Jump up and Austin Tossin' the whole kit and caboodle at Snipe.

>"Deku eh? Wait, that's it! He want's the pillar to collapse? Well he can have it all for himself."

Its like a different version of Uravity's Comet Home run. I would even suggest she head for the goal right after in the same way as that match but we need to succeed on this next part first.

I guess a different take is once the pillar is weightless, Ushi and Uraraka can get airborne with it and start making headway to the exit with it as a shield ahead of them. Sort of a like an Ender's game battle room tactic.

can't resist.

>>4502925
I'm a fan of starting with the moving barrier plan and transitioning into big scary projectile plan. We absconded with the weightless pillar, if we can dislodge it, and use it to block his shots while escaping with it and then throw it at him once we get close to the exit to force him to dodge. If we pin him with the pillar we can transition to capture, otherwise we make our escape. I would rather do this plan without destroying the pillar to avoid destruction penalties, so we should see what we have in our bag to enlarge that can be a stand in. Also we should be constantly putting up a shroud of mirrored glass with Uravity's help to make it harder to see us even if we have to keep enlarging a single piece and shattering it.

I can’t be help but notice that we’ve got two options involving sneaking, but neither involve shrinking?

I know my “Super Substitushi” plan is ambitious, but I do still think sneaking out is probably better than sneaking up on Snipe. If we engage him we’ll have put ourself in prime position to get shot.

Maybe we should shrink and float and sneak out under the existing amount of smoke and dark and debris? Does that make sense?

>>4502809
>[Write in.]
Have Uravity make some big chunks of debris weightless so we can launch them, hard, at Snipe's general position in an easily aimed straight trajectory--that ought to occupy him.

But first: hand her a small piece of debris and tell her to zero-g it and send it flying after the other stuff in the same direction once we've shrunk ourselves way, way down so we can ride it in like a damn colt. Dismount once we are either close enough to the exit or behind Snipe to ninja cuff him.

Make sure to be a good little nin-nin and keep as much of this out of sight and on the sly as possible until the last possible moment. If Snipe can dodge the onslaught and still spot our tiniest possible self amidst all that debris in dodgy lighting and poor visibility, then frankly: he can go ahead and take over for All Might--because his powers are bullshit.

But make sure we can at least peak at what's going on while we go for a ride, else how would we know when to act? Oh, and for God's sake: be sure to impress upon our ally how important it is to impart as little spin as possible when she throws. Think shotput, not baseball.

That'd be fine with me.

Though the Vanguard Action Squad might try to get Ushi instead of Bakugo.

I think an important lesson here we’d do well to remember is that actions utilizing our quirk will usually outperform actions that don’t. If we only use two dice pools with no modifiers (body part plus skill) versus their three (body part plus skill plus quirk, applying reliable and/or mighty and/or speed), we’re gonna get trounced most of the time. It’s why, despite the superhuman feats you can achieve just by training your regular body or using support equipment, you just don’t really see quirkless heroes.

If our legs still work next round, maybe we should just do a double jump and try to dash through the gate before he can react? It’s hard to hit a supersonic movingtarget.

>>4504578
>>4504464

I, umm, wow.

I was going to complain about my write-in not getting enough time to gain traction, but I can see Snipe isn't having any of our guff. Even a hypothetical plan that is 100% foolproof is worthless if you get shot before you can put it in motion.

Snipe: "Did I just catch you trying to be somebody? Aww hell nah."

Sorry about the time, I write when I can and the vote was tied for a while, so I just waited a bit after the tie was broken and called it.

>>4504587
It's not as bad as it looks. Ushi said Snipe doesn't do fan fire, so he probably doesn't have Spray and can only choose one of those sets for his shot. And even with wax bullets and the generally improved durability of shonen characters, our teacher wouldn't want to shoot a kid in the face. So he's probably going to choose the 3x6 and do some hefty (but potentially survivable for Ushi) Guts damage or the 2x7 for Hands damage and try to disable our Quirk.

>>4505185
Unless he’s fast enough to aim two or three times.

>>4505185
I'm of the opinion that it would be in bad taste and against the spirit of this particular event to take us out too quickly. What's the point of the test if we don't get a chance to do anything? We are still first years against experienced heroes. At most I see superficial damage and a complication of either capture or escape this early on in the test.

>>4505219
Maybe. He'd need to drop dice to do multiple attacks without Spray, and his dice pool was the same as last round, but maybe he was doing multiple attacks last round, too.

>>4505221
There are only so many layers of kid gloves Snipe can justify. He’s already 1v2, weighted arms, using half his normal guns, and wax bullets, and killing time shredding our cover. Is it really reasonable to intentionally wait a few rounds before actually trying on top of all that?

Well at least it's a good thing we don't need good grades anymore to get our bike. Also this last couple test have being horrible for Ushi uh?

>>4505089
This is not a good example of that. Snipe just decided (or accidentally) went full pro on us. Even if we we going 9d10 some shit was gonna happen to us.

If we’re still in this thing at the end of the next update, maybe we should just austin’ tossin’ Uraraka through the exit gate. It’s a straight shot. Worked for Iida and Ojiro.

As the shots collide with the damaged pillar you are hiding behind of, you stop and try to think what to do next.

The plan worked so far, but crawling forwards will only get more dangerous as you go, up to the point where Snipe will be able to spot you through the debris despite your team's best efforts in maintaining your nebulous cover. Staying put and waiting for an opportunity that may never come would only get you into a fight with the clock.

You need to get out or take him out fast… and with little to no visibility, neither looks too easy. Sure, the path to the exit gate should be a straight line, but without knowing where Snipe is, you can only assume he's near the gate, ready to mow down anyone trying anything cheeky.

In both cases, fight or flight, you need to find your gun-toting foe if you want to succeed...

"Let's use the cover we already have and try followin' the shots back to him! Then we can take him out, all sneaky-like!" You tell your partner, slamming your fist into your palm. "He may have eagle eyes, but Ah reckon he's a normal guy otherwise. Ah could toss a giant rock at him or we could sneak up to him and kick his ass!"

>"The cover we have? I'm not sure the cloud alone will be enough, and this pillar is crumbling down!" Uravity replies as she continues adding the newly formed debris to said cloud, sounding like she had more to say, but staying her tongue.

You wait for a second for her to continue, but she just stops there, so you continue with your plan.

With chunks falling off the pillar, it's rather easy to peek behind it, and now that you know what to look for, spotting the small dust explosions of small floating bits of concrete being hit by Snipe's curving shots and the lines they trace in the debris cloud is easy.

Every shot that slams into the pillar is another shot you can trail closer to their source. With the cloud slowly floating upwards, the tops of the pillars remain unobstructed, which you use as a handy reference to try and find out behind which one is Snipe hiding.

>"This is more rubble than support structure..." Uravity nervously mutters near you as the pillar takes even more hits.

She's not wrong at all, the damn thing looks like an apple core, but…

"Hold it…" You loudly mutter back, spotting a trail revealing another curve in the last of the shots' trajectory. "Ah think Ah got him!"

Two pillars to the left of where the gate should be… You aren't 100% certain, but good enough for field mathematics, you hope. Without the trails in the cloud, every shot just looked like it was shot from a different pillar, but all trails in the cloud seem to have come from there, just taking different, curved paths to reach your cover.

File: What even.png (72 KB, 499x298)

C-CRACK! sounds your cover, the small chips of concrete flying off are now replaced by chunks large enough to crush you as the pillar starts collapsing.

You just look at your partner, see the equally alarmed look in her face, and dive away from the concrete avalanche, looking for new cover while trying to stay focused on Snipe's assumed location and-

...And you shudder when you see how terribly, terribly right you were. A small glint of metal and a flash, muted by the smoke and dust confirm your suspicions.

You can't see the bullet itself but just seeing how a floating piece of concrete three feet in front of your face suddenly exploded into dust is enough to daze you.

>"Standing in the open like that now, Walker? What happened, got bored of hide and seek? Smokescreen or not, I reckon it'd be hard to mistake that silhouette." Snipe taunts you from his hiding spot. "Now, we were asked to not hold back, so let's put you to sleep. Got Uraraka to hunt down too, you know."

Before you can see the second muzzle flash, Uravity slams into you, effortlessly carrying a massive piece of the collapsed pillar to put up as a shield between the two of you and the lone gunman.

>"I knew this was going to happen." She continues to mutter as the next bullet cracks your improvised cover.

"Atta girl! Great sa-" Is all you manage to say before a bullet bends around the piece of concrete and hits you in the chest, sending you flying back an inch or two. It feels like someone hit you with a hammer, making all of your ribs crack and groan as they absorb the rest of the impact that your now cramping muscles didn't, pushing all air out of your lungs in the process.

>"Walker!" Uravity cries, grabbing you by the wrist and dragging you to the next closest columns as her shield is whittled down by gunfire. "Oh, really!?"

As you try to move again, you can only summarize that your entire torso feels like it's made of overcooked noodles and your breath tastes like iron, latex and a hint of vanilla.

"Ah-Ah'm okay… It'll take more than that to take me out!" You say, leaving out the "just a little more" part since you are trying to sound encouraging even as you lean on the pillar to stand up, glad to not feel any internal splintering but dreading the bruising. You also take an instant to dry your tears with your half-cape.

It's non-lethal, but it's a new contender for the spot of the worst pains you've had to endure… A list mostly of moments that have happened at U.A. now that you think about it.

>"How does this even happen?!" Uravity asks, holding a surprisingly whole wax bullet up to your face. It's just a blob, but it clearly didn't splatter against its target.


>What do you do?

>[Write in.]

But we can’t keep this up forever.”]

>[“You tell me, Uravity. Ah just need to know what Ah’m doin’.”]

It’s fun because the subtext is that Ushi’s also talking about her relationship to Uraraka in general!

And also because we might get to Austin’ Tossin’ Uraraka!

>Shrink, sneak over to another spot, and then enlarge the Substitushi doll in a pose like it's leaning against a pillar for support. Make it look like we were trying to sneak up on him but lost a hold of our focus and had to cancel our Quirk. Snipe may know that our Quirk makes permanent changes instead of being an effect that needs to be maintained, but likely hasn't internalized the idea. He should buy that we're tired and hurt and can't keep it up.
>If Tin can get sufficient volume without us enlarging them enough that Snipe would take out the AMR, have them relay the sound of Ushi breathing heavily while waiting near the decoy, to add an audio component to the ruse. Otherwise, don't risk our precious little buddy.
>If/when Snipe takes out the decoy, pop up in another spot and distract him with ourselves. Attempt to dodge by shrinking after he takes a shot, but the main point is to buy as much time with his attention on us as we can. If he takes us out, it's fine so long as Uravity gets to the exit, only one of has to escape for both to pass.
>While we're drawing aggro, Uravity sneaks across the top of the room towards the exit. Make sure that the direction we head keeps his lines of sight in the opposite direction from Uravity.

Best idea I have. Not a great one, just putting stuff out if anyone wants to dissect it for their own plans.

>>4505766
>What do you do?

First and foremost tell Urarararara were Snipe is. Than tell her we will shrink and distract Snipe. She should use her gravity powers to floa through the ceilling and sneak
close to Snipe to catch him with the cuffs while we distract him enlarging our fake as a decoy since he proved to look for our siluatte

My only concern with this is if we Substit-Ushi with the doll Snipe is going to annihilate our awesome doll, and I don't want to lose it.

Considering your options of taking another hit like that and staying upright seem mutually exclusive, it's clear to you that you need to end this quickly. Every second you waste makes it more likely that you'll be taken down and cause your teammate to fail her exams.

"Well, at least we do know where he's at now." You say, clutching your chest as the inflammation kicks in and pointing in the hero's direction with your free hand. "Over there, by the way."

>"By the way? ...Sure." Uravity replies, clearly displeased. "...Can you keep going? We’re getting close. We just need to close the last few dozen meters..."

"What we’re doin’ ain’t sustainable, sugah.“ You shake your head at that. ”We can't just crawl forwards 'n' hope for the best." You tell her in as reassuring a tone your shuddering breath allows, starting to worry about the all-too-real possibility of failure. “Now you could pick up a shield and Ah’ll hurl you through that gate. Ah know you’ve got landin’ boots. Or you could distract’m and Ah’ll ninja-leap outta here mahself. Now that we know where he is, we could charge’m or start hurlin’ boulders, knock down that cover of his… But we can’t keep this up forever."

>"So at least one of us is going to get shot." She summarises, her surly expression telling you all you need to know about how much she likes your ideas. Not at all.

>"THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT." The speakers blare, making sure everyone in the prefecture can hear the blasted news. "THE FIRST TEAM TO PASS IS TODOROKI AND YAOYOROZU!"

"They have to rub it in, too…" You mutter after a pained chuckle. If anyone else was going to best your time, it was going to be them. Despite your own pain and the hard situation you are in, you still take a second to imagine both of your dear friends lugging around a hogtied Mr. Aizawa. A certain part of you is halfway between amused and comforted by the thought.

>"Do you think they announce the first ones to fail too?" Uravity asks, quickly peeking behind cover and narrowly pulling herself back in before a bullet hits the pillar and sends another puff of dust flying into the dust storm your teammate made. "...I don't want to find out."

"Can't say Ah do either." You reply, quickly stretching your arms and midsection. It hurts, but you need to be ready for whatever happens next. "So, what's the plan?"

>"Uh? The plan?" She lets out, flat-out confused by your query. "Well… There's one thing I think we could try… But it might be too risky, especially with you already injured.

>"Hey kids, just to be safe, you aren't bleeding out internally, right Walker!?" Snipe then yells from his own section of pillars.

"Ain't the case, teach!" You yell back before facing your teammate once more and cracking your knuckles. “You tell me, Uravity. Ah just need to know what Ah’m doin’.”

>"Good to know! Carrying on with the rustling then!" Snipe says before another chunk of your cover flies off.

Rolled 2, 4, 10, 4, 4, 9, 10, 10 = 53 (8d10)

>"...You said you could hurl me to the exit, right? Like with Yaomomo, but hopefully with less splatter?" Uravity says, holding her chin in a way you can't help but think is too similar to Deku's to be coincidence. "I'm pretty sure you've gone supersonic with those pitches…"

"...Will y'all ever stop bringin' that up?" You sigh painfully and grumble. It was the right thing to do at the time!

>"Can you throw me at Snipe instead?" Uravity asks, her pensive expression slowly turning into an eager, excited one, the first that you’ve seen from her in a long while. "Have you noticed how he steps out of cover first, raises his pistol, then, presses the trigger? I think it's those weights. It takes him about a second or a bit more… If you can pull off a pitch like those before, I could take him down!"

"'nd if you can't?" You ask, imagining how it'd feel to not only get shot, but be speeding towards the bullet as well.

>"...Then you make a run for it." She says, her smile faltering for a second, unlike her determination. "You already got hit getting us this far, so please, it's my turn to… <Carry the team?>"

All things considered, her English is pretty good.

Snipe's a Gunslinger, he probably has some levels of Speed himself. But even if he does hit us first, we should still get Uravity tossed, and still be in the fight. He's dealing Shock damage, so Ushi can't be taken out by losing a single stat. He's got to take out at least three. So we will get Uravity tossed no matter what, but possibly with only a 2x10 instead of 3x10 set because we took damage before our action. If Uravity can't take Snipe out this turn and needs to get into position, Ushi can still help distract him. Though if Snipe is smart he'll go for the gutshot again to have the rollover damage go into our Hands and inhibit our Quirk use.

>>4509972
That's a pretty descent one. Combined move: [b] Shooting Star Special

To throw her at the teacher like you did Momo at the wall at the sports festival? Yeah, you can do that. Even better, you can make sure to use proper form this time and not cause traumatic injuries to a friend!... Maybe.

"You got eeth- A thecond, preassch" You tell her, raising a finger, hocking, and spitting expertly to the side just like grandpa showed you, the mixed blood and spit splashing into a small puddle. "Yeah, A’hm up for it. As soon as he steps out, then?"


>"...Yes. We need to pull this off on the first try, if we take longer and show him too much or he figures it out we are screwed." Uravity emphasizes with a nod, getting one out of you in turn.

"Ya know we gotta name this, right?" You ask with a smile full of genuine enthusiasm as you both shift into position for a clear shot and wait for a pause in Snipe’s pot shots. Despite the pain and the prospect of failure, you still find enjoyment in being pushed to the limits. Not being lied to about the exam in some way also helps keep in good spirits. "It's our first combo move!"

>"...first?" She double takes, visibly surprised even through her helmet. "Uh, sure…"

It takes both of you only a couple seconds to fine tune your coordination and hone in on a good name, nod once more at each other, and set it all in motion.

Instead of merely peeking out of cover, this time both of you step out in tandem, fully aware of how easy of targets you are as you do… But that's the point. It will definitely get Snipe’s attention.

"Release!" Uravity says as soon as she steps into the open just to your 4 o'clock while tapping her fingers together. She then catches a large piece of debris before it hits her on its way down as most of the debris falls all around you, dramatically increasing visibility. "This will do, it's over anyways."

>"Over? Giving up already,... with time on the clock?" Snipe asks, stepping out from behind his own cover, just as Uravity described, first the step, then the slightly sluggish raising of his aberrant gun. "Hands behind your hea-"

But you don't wait for him to finish the motion, instead swinging about, grabbing your arm and immediately infusing it with mass, enlarging the limb to monstrous size and strength. The kind of strength needed to take hold of your conveniently placed teammate in one fluid motion.

"Shootin' Star!-" You quickly shout as you wind up, stride, and pitch Uravity. You feel the stress on your joints already as your arm cocks, the wood creaking and threatening to splinter from the shearing tension, forcing you to immediately return it to normal the instant Uravity is airborne as you follow through. Pa would be proud.

>"-SPECIAL!!!" Your teammate finishes the move name as she flies, holding her equally weightless piece of debris in front of her as she speeds towards the hero, dispersing all the remaining dust in the air with her speed, way too fast for him to get out of the way!

...But not quickly enough to keep him from finishing raising his gun. Now that it's more than clear you aren't giving up, he does not stay his hand and fires three shots before Uravity’s impact. The first shatters her ad hoc shield of concrete, seemingly without hurting her. The other two head straight at you, still standing in the open.

The first hits you in the chest again, knocking the air out of your lungs and reigniting the pain from the previous shot to now cover your entire torso in anguish. Unluckily, you don't get time to dwell on it or even whimper, as the second hits your left horn, rattling your skull and forcing your neck back violently. You see, and in some weird way feel or hear, nothing but white as you fall backwards. Only your puffy hair and vest cushion your fall as you slam on to the damp concrete, hitting your shoulder, head, and back while choking and heaving for air.

As much as you want to go help, you can only wait and watch, as your entire body feels like its seizing in one giant cramp. Sure, it's not lethal, but whoever made these things made sure they were incapacitating.

Even though you can't do much but flail on the concrete to try and peer towards the action while spitting the blood pooling again in your mouth, the sounds of both the hero and your teammate tumbling together after the impact help you make sense of what you see when you manage to find them. You momentarily focus on Snipe, splayed on the damp concrete, not unlike yourself, with Uravity atop him holding his gun and the cuffs as she finishes the capture. Your partner reaches forwards and locks the cuffs on his legs before quickly jumping off with a beet-red face.

>"URARAKA AND WALKER HAVE PASSED THE EXAM!" The speakers blare, confirming your trial is over.

"...yaaaaym." You bleat, feeling your body demands another brain nap as your vision starts to go dark. A demand that will be either granted or taken by force, it assures you.

>"Oh no…" You hear Uravity say, then the sound of her boots as she runs towards you. "...I guess I'll take you to Recovery Girl's office, you… you…"

You hear her sigh as she touches you, untethering you from the planet and slinging you over her shoulders in what feels like a quick fireman's carry. Or she slung you like a hay bale, hard to tell from the hay's position.

>"What is it that you were saying, Friend?" Tin asks as you feel it wiggling in its pouch. You sort of giggle at the tickling, but it sounds more like a gurgle.

>"Oh! Hi Mr. Tin!" Your teammate greets the robot once more. "...I'm not sure."

Hmm, so Ushi got ganked in the early exam and now got unconcious in the final exam? Does that mean she fails like Sero failed when Midnight knocked him down with her sleeping gas?

Also all this results don't bode well for the camp trip. And the attack.

>>4512683
I’d say that Ushi’s greatest strength is as a force multiplier. She had uncooperative teammates in the forest exam, and is underground here.

The camp attack lets Ushi leverage her strengths. It’s outdoors and she’s surrounded by teammates.

I mean, except for like, compress, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri (two of which don’t engage directly), I’m pretty sure a giant Tin, Kirishima, or Tetsutetsu could thrash the whole invading force.

I’d hazard that most of her present classmates and teachers at camp would benefit wildly from being recruited into Ushi’s Titan army.

How do you guys plan on rolling a pair on a 1d10 face+charm roll? I'm doubtful you can but intrigued that you may.

>>4512599
Wait, hold up, how did Snipe deal so much damage? Going by the last shot dealing four damage on a 3x set, we can assume that Snipe's revolvers have a +2 damage modifier, since damage is Width-1 plus modifiers. Taking out Guts and Hands at the same time is five damage, Face and Brains is six. So either Snipe's pistols do more damage and he was using his Quirk to reduce damage on earlier shots, or they do +2 damage and he used his Quirk to deal more damage this time, or he brought out the anti-materiel rifle. Actually, probably a combo of the last two, since damage for weapons is supposed to max out at +3. So Snipe decided to just massively increase the lethality of this attack, after seeing Ushi not go down to a gut shot. Christ, teach. Well, at least we impressed him with our durability, if he thought that was necessary?

>>4512599
>[Rest your headlights a bit, Girl-Nurse-Lady-Old will wake you with the miracle of candy when she gets a look at you.]

>>4512765
I'm pretty sure what happened is that the first shot Mic accidentally did 1 fewer damage than he was supposed to.

Just call it a warning shot.

(Meaning we'd have legs at 2 right now instead of 3 as our only remaining HP.)

>>4512599
>>4512609
I like this, go for it

>>4512793
That's still not enough damage to have knocked out both Face and Brains. Either way, Snipe decided to ramp up the danger after seeing Ushi not drop. Snipe fucking rolls hardcore.

I would like to avoid having to roll any dice.... not that we can at the moment. Let's wait till we are feeling better since we always seem to have brain damage whenever we try to improve our relationship with Uraraka.

It's clear we were nowhere near doing things optimally, but that's fine. I look forward to asking pros for advice on what we did and how to do better. I'm guessing it's mostly just going to be them telling us we are too straightforward and predictable. (read: we don't come up with enough needlessly-complicated, improbable, dramatic asspulls--on the spot.)

Our two quirks together were so versatile and powerful that I think it's unlikely we couldn't have come up with something where Snipe would have been very hard pressed to do anything meaningful to stop us. Our main problem was being unable to read the situation quickly to come up with a solid plan fast enough.

For that matter: I would be curious if mic thought any other write ins would have worked better REGARDLESS of Snipe's rolls.

So does our legs stat develop survivor’s guilt now?

>>4512892
We could have done a pretty bitchin' shotgun meteor swarm by having Uravity "de-grav" a fistful of gravel that we up-scale into boulders as we pitch them.

I mean... desu Uravity's pretty optional for that, it just makes our lives easier and the trajectories of what we pitch more direct since they won't curve floor-ward.

>>4513035
or shrunk ourselves and had Uravity pitch us.

I get the feeling we're underutilizing the "shrinking" half of our quirk? I'm admittedly new to this quest though.

All this head trauma can't be good.

>>4513083
Not the right profession to worry about small long-term issues like that.

>>4512599
>>[Hold on as much as possible and listen to them talk. Seems to be about a girl named Ushi, she seems interesting.]

>>4513074
To be fair if we shrunk and Snipe somehow pine pointed us it would be a one shot kill. Not knowing how his mask helps him to see through smoke.

Blood contains vitamins and electrolytes it's good for you, plus there is some Nomu blood mixed in there. There's no telling what kind of stimulants the doc puts in them. Overdosing on Nomu blood is a perfectly legitimate tactic.

Sleep would be good, but you don't really need that. What you need to do is stop. No more thoughts. Just rest and put on your listening ears. You need to ask whoever is in charge if you can get the other ones removed and keep these forever.

>"It's just that… I don't know." Your apparent carrier sighs, "I don't want to hurt her."

>"You are carrying her to safety and medical attention in an appropriate manner. Unless she presents signs of cervical injuries or similar, you are doing the opposite, Friend." The voice from your belt replies, it sounds very companionable, something you would always want by your side. It's comforting to listen to, even in your current wet noodle-like state.

>"Not like that, Mr. Tin. Insulting her." The girl under you says. "She told us how her life was back in America and Jiro drove the point home with her text… It feels wrong. She makes me SO mad at times… but she's trying...at least some of the time, and just blowing up on her just feels like kicking a puppy."

>"I must warn you Friend, I wouldn't condone kicking Mistress." The comforting voice of your belt says.

>"I won’t Mr. Tin, I don't think it'd go well for me." She says with a small laugh but it is cut short. "I just… breath in and out and let the anger go. She may say something stupid… or accidentally offensive… sometimes just outright insults … but none of it really hurts, you know? No cuts or bruises. So I need to learn to let it flow into the water and be better, I guess."

>"Mistress is strong, she can be confronted without injuries." Your belt advises. "As you implied, words don't hurt."

>"No, I’d rather not. Just look at her, I may get nervous when she speaks to me, but she hasn't let me down when we've had to work together, not to even mention what she did for us all at USJ." The girl carrying you rambles. "She may be strong enough to put herself in danger and work through the pain, but I shouldn't try to make it worse on her because she hurt my feelings…"

There’s a short pause as the unseen soft voice doesn’t respond when the girl suddenly continues.

>“I've been pondering that a lot lately… Strong heroes, emerging bloody yet victorious! Sure, people love the determination to break a couple fingers and fight on… But that's gotta hurt real bad, right? It's gotta build up at some point. And Walker always seems to run out of steam after her fights… She's lucky to have you, Mr. Tin! At least she always has someone to get her back on her feet after she puts herself at risk."

>"I don't think luck has anything to do with it. I owe her my current continued existence and I will take care of Mistress as long as I'm able to.” The childish voice from the pouch responds. "I would prefer Mistress to stay safe, but despite telling her this, she has reinforced that won't always happen. I can only help when Mistress needs me, in battle or as a tool."

>"Don't sell yourself short Mr. Tin. She is lucky to have you." Your hauler insists, and you can feel her shake her head against you. "No matter how strong they are, all people, even heroes, have limits. I know it's the school motto, and I really believe we can go beyond and rise higher! But sometimes they fall. They can give it their all and even win and still end up injured… maybe helpless… So they need someone to care-I mean… to look out for them and help them! That's why she's lucky to have you, Mr. Tin!"

This Walker girl does sound lucky… Yeah, you are.

>"I must ask then, Friend, if you say that you don’t want to cause harm with them and yet you say that they do not hurt you." The friendly belt asks. "Do words hurt or not?”

You can feel the girl under you stumble for a second before continuing her walk.

>"Walker's do… Mine too, sometimes." Your perch says, sighing once more. "Neither should, but she's already trying, so asking more of her would be pointless. So I'll try to do better myself."

>What do you do?

>[You still have a bit of steam left… "Not tool, <ya ninny>. Friend…"]
>[Trying is hard when you don't know whether you are doing well or munching on slippers. "Hey, Ura-ara-ara… Just tell me m'kay? Ah wanna be pals..."]
>[...Huh. "Ya know… Ah don't think Ah've broken any fingers… You sure you ain't thinkin' of Deku?"]
>[Write in.]

I truly can’t pass up on either of these. No way I’m passing up on a chance to speak our heart... without having to roll.
