"Hmmm...?" the familiar, ominous, and mechanical voice hummed in question as a pair of pale fingers wiggled frantically, almost as if it were an eager gesture. "She may be far more useful than I thought, I'm beginning to get the hang of the controls.~ I can't wait...to test out her own...personal...weapon...~" his voice resonated throughout the dark room as it showed his backside's silhouette shivering with delight and allowed muscly, robotic giggles to escape.


Figures of cords could be seen in the dark room, connecting to his head and the many slots to the computer. There were playbacks of the single test he attempted by making her fight the robot and many videos to the side of the screen, exposing the very animated images he sent into her mind. "I just need a good opportunity..." Lower, more sinister words left his mouth after he spoke the last part and not long after, those lips of his were smirking. Pale, grinning, lips and it was quite difficult to make out the rest of his face.


~~~Elsewhere~~~


Across the land they ran, although Uviel could hardly keep up with Haru, the brunette was catching up to Todo with her long strides and snake-like speed. "Come on, Uviel!" Yukimura tried to encourage her best friend to pick up her speed, she didn't need to focus her hearing on the cyber-girl's footsteps to know she was behind her a few feet away.


It didn't take long at all for them to catch up to the multi-eye colored boy who froze those infernos with ease, what helped them catch up was when he halted just before the large crags that were specifically designed for the obstacle course.


Both of the girls stood before the huge clearing that not just anyone could get across. A few minutes later the other students caught up and many became nervous at the sight of the drop, a lot of kids profusely sweated in their jumpsuits in the process. Hey, hey! The first barrier's a piece of cake?! Then what about the second?! the announcer exclaimed with so much energy that he'd out-energize the energizing bunny, at this point... Ochaco and the others stood with gaping mouths at the sight as doubt began to fill many students' minds. If you fall, you're out! If you don't wanna fall, then crawl! It's 'The fall!' adding to his enthusiastic words, the announcer finished and caused many kids to question their fear of heights.


"When did they build this stage?" Uraraka's nervous question met Mina's ears and the other two girls who stood next to them, until, they all watched a frog girl jump high to land on a tight rope.


"She's fast!" Mina's words made Yukimura grin and listen closely to the many inaudible words of other students. Hearing them say how it'd be impossible to walk across the rope, or how they're never going to get past those tall rocks, and even mentioning that they'd lose if they tried.


"Yeah, no kidding..." Uviel mumbled to Mina's statement and blinked her blue hues at the sight, that was until laughter caught everyone's ears.


"Hehehehehe...~" That familiar laugh caused her gaze and everyone else's to peer behind them, just to see eyes that sparked with eagerness behind a pair of goggles. "Here it is, here's my chance to show off...! It's time for my support items to be in the limelight! Uviel, use your rocket boots, show everyone how great they are in a situation like this!" Hatsume's voice rose after she spotted the cybernetic girl not too far in front of her. Soon, her arms rose after she stood up straight from her leaned-over posture and gained everyone's attention around her. "Look, all you support companies across the country! Wire arrows and...hover soles! The Decennial Tremor of Saito's and her rocket boots! Glitter!" the girl announced and kept her arms outstretched above her head, nothing but excitement laced her voice. I couldn't bring all of my babies with me, so I'm happy she agreed to use them in the course! Now, I wonder when Yukimura will use her dagger!~ her monologue echoed with just as much enthusiasm as her previous speech.
