When the Stars Align

Chapter 10: Battle Trial (Part 1)

~~

Midoriya parted ways with you after arriving at the locker rooms, blush still lingering on his face as he waved goodbye to your retreating figure.

As you made your way inside, the suitcase that held your costume began to feel heavy, dread clinging to your gut as you realized you were the last to walk in. That would surely bring some unwanted attention, but as long as everyone kept to themselves, you'd be fine.

The sound of slamming doors and small chatter reaches your ears, alerting you that most girls (If not all of them) have yet to change fully. It helps that you won't be the last girl to walk out, so you push any tension in your body away in favor of taking advantage of the fact you aren't alone just yet.

You head to your spot next to Uraraka, the small brunette engaged in small conversation with the pink skinned girl in your class. She turns to you and says a quick 'Hello', hand stopping it's tugging on her skin tight costume, before going back at it, hopping slightly as she struggles. You give a nod back, setting your case inside the open locker before taking the new articles of clothing out.

When the need for a costume came up, you worked closely with Power Loader in order to ensure you had what you needed in the moment. You were sure you'd have to visit him again at some point, it was unavoidable, but you were happy with what you both came up with.

Your costume consisted of some blue spruce colored sleeveless, skintight turtleneck (One that ended just above your midriff) and skintight shorts with yellow lining at the bottom, both made of breathable material. You also wore some stockings that started just below the shorts, if only to cover up a bit from overexposure. Thigh holsters were placed on your costume, in the off chance you needed to hold more water capsules for the new equipment Power Loader had added at your behest.

After using the water capsules and finding them a bit difficult to use due to the uncontrollable onslaught of water that rushed out all at once, you decided that you needed something that would help you spend that water in an efficient matter. And so, after much discussion, Power Loader had gone and created a water gauntlet of sorts using a 'primitive design' he had found of an old water gun toy from decades ago. The gauntlet was sleek in material, silver and blue coloring swatched over some of the metal in order to coincide with your overall costume. Attached to some fingerless gloves, the water gauntlet took up a majority of your wrist, small, but full of enough power to help you properly shoot out the water located in your capsule for you to properly manipulate.

Some might think the gear redundant, as your Quirk could pick up whatever body of water manually, but you also had to look at the costs of damages if you did something hazardous with your power within a city area like in the entrance exam. The gauntlet wouldn't be your only source for water, but it would help you make sure nothing especially awry could happen as you began to train.

To top it all off- you wore a blue visor, a belt that also doubled as a water capsule and first aid holder, and some steel toed combat boots that were modeled after the ones you owned.

While it wasn't all that special or stood out as much as some of the costumes you had seen before, you couldn't help but to feel proud of some of the alterations you helped make.

It was different from what you'd normally wear when doing work for the Commission, but it was a good different. The Commission had always been about secrecy, about laying low and concealing yourself in the darkness Villains often sought comfort in.

But that wouldn't work here.

U.A. has always been about using grandeur to their benefit and they always made sure their students matched that expectation. No way would any standard costume or gear work in their eyes, and you weren't going to stand opposed to free modifications every now and then.
