For Tenten, imagine the appearance she had in The Last cause that's the best one. Her actual age will be 26 though.

-------------------------

Sasuke blinked and Edgeshot was already within breathing distance. Sasuke recoiled and barely dodged a gut punch with his arm; Although, the hit still sent him skidding halfway across the room. 

'How the hell does he pack that much power?! He's smaller than—'

A kick to the back of the head interrupted his thoughts and sent him flying into a wall. "When you're out there fighting villains, they aren't going to give you time to think. In most cases, if they see an opportunity to kill you, then they'll take it. You have to be aware at all times."

Sasuke rubbed his head and nodded, 'I have no time to think up some strategy, or acknowledge stuff that surprises me; This is a top-five hero I'm fighting. Honestly, I'm outclassed in everything...' The Nomu crossed his mind and he clenched his fist, 'But that's no excuse!' He dashed at Edgeshot as purple energy surrounded him. 

He threw a right hook which Edgeshot naturally leaned out of the way of. 'He won't be able to dodge this! It's too big and he's already on one foot!' Sasuke smiled and it followed up with a Susanoo hand. 

Edgeshot jumped up using one foot and twisted in the air, landing his feet on the hand mid-swing, jumping off it into a wall, and bounced right back at Sasuke with a side-kick. Sasuke put up a ribcage to block it, but it was still damaged. 

Edgeshot backflipped off the rib cage onto his feet, "Always have a backup plan for your backup plan. If your opponent has a lot of experience, then they'll be five steps ahead of you at all times just playing with you. Instead of repeating the same attack just now you should have been ready to grab me. Then, I couldn't have done that."

Sasuke nodded.

Neither of them noticed, but up high on the wooden support beams, Tenten was swinging her legs observing the fight. 'Obviously, he won't even be able to make Mr. Edgeshot use his quirk, but he's not bad. He's learning on the spot and taking his advice seriously.'

Sasuke coiled the purple energy around his body and Edgeshot narrowed his eyes. Sasuke blitzed towards him and threw a straight punch, but Edgeshot simply side-stepped. Sasuke briskly followed with waves of punches in conjunction with wheel kicks. Edgeshot parried and weaved all of Sasuke’s attempts. Sasuke jumped and front-flipped into an axe-kick. Edgeshot blocked, but two Susanoo hands came from both sides, quickly surrounding him. Sasuke flipped upside down and grabbed him to keep him in place and smirked. 'They're big, but as a result, the palms of the skeleton are too big to close, I can just jump between the gaps.'

Edgeshot broke the grip and jumped in mid-air turning sideways. The skeletal arms suddenly grew muscle and flesh, it filled the gaps between the fingers. Edgeshot's and Tenten's eyes widened. "Don't underestimate me!"

Edgeshot instantly used his quirk to dodge the attack which made a huge clap that rang in their ears.

Tenten blinked, 'He made him use his quirk?! He was clearly going easy on him, but still... He's a fighting prodigy!'

Sasuke gritted his teeth and got ready to attack again, but Edgeshot held a hand up. "That's enough. That last attack was great; I never saw flesh on your Susanoo before. Were you hiding that in the Sports Festival?"

"No... at the time... I only knew how to use bones. I learned about muscle and flesh... after the Festival." He caught his breath and wiped the sweat off his brow.

"I see, well either way you've managed to exceed my expectations. Welcome to my agency." 

He stood in front of him with an outstretched hand. Sasuke scanned his appearance while shaking his hand and snickered, 'He doesn't have a single drop of sweat on his brow.'
