Cry like a Canary

Chapter 11:Testing the champion

After a day with her parents Dinah was a bit happier around Beacon with a bunch of people noticing Dinah heard that Weiss wanted to go down to Vale over the week but Dinah decided that she needed to train of course she did the standard all physical with the punching bag, sit ups, pull ups and running(Dinah ran all around Beacon)but Dinah also did vocal exercises to make sure that she never loses her voice as she slowly increased the volume of her voice(Dinah has a special device made to allow her to keep track of how loud she is)after her vocal exercise Dinah didn't have anything planned till she say Pyrrha in the doorway holding her ears a bit whilst looking at Dinah whilst she also looks like she wants to train.

Dinah:you just going to stand around there

Pyrrha then removes her hands from her ears and shakes her head a bit

Dinah:sorry I guess I went a bit to loud sorry about that

Pyrrha:oh it's no trouble is that your semblance

Dinah:being able to produce a loud sound like that

Pyrrha nods.

Dinah:yeah it's called canary's cry ironic right I can put it up to 300 decibels the last time I really pushed it and it can very easily destroy a lot of things so I try to keep it sub 200 as a way of protecting people's hearing and the environment since I could very easily take out a huge portion of Vale should I try

Pyrrha:so how loud was that when we were in the forest during initiation

Dinah:It was around 185-190 decibels maybe 200 but that's really about it

Pyrrha:So you're saying you can make yourself 50% louder again on top of what you did in the forest of forever falls?

Dinah:not exactly since going up in decibels is different than that of normal measurements since 10 to 20 is 1-1 up right

Pyrrha:yeag

Dinah:well with decibels going from 10 to 20 is multiplying the volume by 10 so in actuality I'm going up 10,000,000,000(difference between 1-100 decibels)in a linear scale on top of what I've already built up

Pyrrha:that number alone feels like it could kill someone

Dinah:well 200 decibels is an instant kill to people without aura and Faunas with ears unless there is something that can keep them protected but otherwise they might have permanent damage although slowly but grim tend to die at around 180 although there are some that are stronger

Pyrrha:so if you do push it and train your semblance what would you need

Dinah:space enough so that I push it to it's limits or even beyond anyway I don't think you're dressed like that just to talk

Pyrrha:well I've never fought against someone with a sound based ability or such a use of aura I know Ren can use it quite well but you use it to puncture and enhance yourself do you even have weapons?

Dinah:yes I do I have some small speaker grenades but otherwise I just use my fists

Pyrrha:it's been some time since I've trained against someone in just hand to hand

Pyrrha's weapons were still in her locker.

Dinah:I've only really been training for about two years

Pyrrha:and yet you look like you could very easily be a contender in the Mistral tournament if I wasn't there of course

Pyrrha smiles at Dinah showing she meant it as a joke.

Dinah:Pyrrha getting confident are we but I don't know I could very easily knock you out with a single cry
