『ARC TWO: CAREFUL STEPS』

Luminescent screens were plastered against the wall, various figures flickering and moving across the monitors. Sometimes the screens would switch to a different video before going back to the one playing beforehand. Settled in the two seats in the middle of the room were Kohei and Yuuma Endomoto, or better known as Impression.
Kohei was not one to back down from any friendly competition. Granted that may have developed from his long-standing rivalry... friendship... complicated relationship with Tomohiro. Even if they were three years apart, Tomohiro never failed to be a challenging person to be with and he greatly appreciated that part of him. Although they may argue more than normal people, Kohei could gladly say that they had each other's back.
However, it was unusual for Kohei to accept such a request so soon into the year. He spent the first few days on quick thinking and possibilities in certain situations. He then was forced to scarcely work on teaching how to fight because of the bet made. His lesson plans usually withheld the same material for the three years students studied at Mizu. First was working on detective work, then it would be Quirk analysis, and finally, combat. In that order every single year without a hiccup, minus the fact that it would get harder. This bet threw a wrench in his lesson plans.
The only one who really had fighting experience was Yua who was limber and strong. That was due to her Quirk but her fighting forms were nearly perfect. She had some ups and downs but nothing major to work on besides the words she chose to speak.
Quirk wise, Ichigo, Mei, and Tanami had the upper hand as they easily mastered their powers from a young age. However, they have only scraped the tip of the iceberg. They could always do better with some training. Kagemi and Shinsha knew how to fight although their knowledge was limited. Their Quirks were not combat ready material. The ones who had barely any experience were Daiki, Junpei, and Yoshimi. Those three had to rely on smarts, not strength. Which could prove to be problematic in the near future.
Fingertips thumped against the styrofoam cup in a steady rhythm as Kohei propped his elbow onto the armchair. "My kids are winning this round, just so you know."
Endomoto readjusted his position in the office chair while laughing quietly. He swirled the cream in his coffee with a stirring stick. "I do not concur, Metallic. As far as I know, I began by teaching my students how to use their Quirks wisely. You have been giving your students cases."
The blond shrugged and shook his head. His eyes flickered to the monitor. A smirk slipped onto his lips. "Well, my kid just knocked yours out."
On one of the screens, it displayed Ichigo's form hovering above one of Beta's students. She leaned forward, yellow wings stabilizing her balance as she held a hand to the fallen girl's mouth. She tilted her head and sighed with relief. Releasing her Quirk, the wings dispersed and she took off running in the direction away from the unconscious student. She wore a semi guilty look.
