-Nuke's Room-

"Mmmnngh...~"

Karla moaned as she stretched her back by doing toe touches. After that, she did a couple of high jumps into the air, rolled her neck and shoulders, and finally-

*slap!* *slap!*

-gave herself two light slaps on her cheeks.

"Mhm! I'm good to go!"

She cheerfully exclaimed, then turned to her teammate, Toru. The invisible girl was fidgeting in place while slightly bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"You okay there, Toru-chan?"

The question broke the latter out of her reverie. Shaking her gloved fists up and down, she nodded.

Or at least, a gesture that Karla thought could be interpreted as a nodding movement...?

"Sure am! I'm kinda excited for the upcoming fight! But I'd lie if I said I wasn't a little worried... I mean..."

She began swaying from side to side. Karla tilted her head.

"Huh... maybe she's so showy with her body language to make up for her invisibility...?"

Putting that thought aside, she let her companion finish what she was saying.

"Who we're about to face are no pushovers! Todoroki-kun, especially!"

Karla began pattying Toru's head.

"There, there, Toru-chan."

She cooed.

"Our opponents are tough, yes. But it's nothing we can't overcome. We're quite the formidable duo ourselves, y'know?"

She smiled before sticking her tongue out. Tooru, despite enjoying the headpat and Karla's soothing words, was still not entirely convinced.

"You are formidable, Karla-chan. Your Quirk alone nearly puts to Hanma-kun's level, and he's a complete monster in terms or raw power and strength! All I have are my invisibility and light-refracting abilities..."

Karla swore she could almost see Toru's pout. She giggled.

"And that is exactly why this match is already ours."

"Huh...?"

The violette grinned.

"Here's what we're gonna do."

She inched closer to Toru's ear (or what she hoped was her ear) and began explaining the details of the plan.

The invisible girl was listening intently, sporadically letting out humming sounds of approval.

And then-

"BEGIN!"

All Might's booming voice started the exercise.

The two nodded at each other and began moving to their respective directions-

*SWOOOOOOSH!*

-until what appeared to be a huge wave of ice bursted its way into the room, moving inexorably towards them and the nuke.
