Y/n walked down the hallway beside Eclipse, an air of ethereal grace emanated from the celestial heroine. Eclipse's soft smile and fluid movements gave her an otherworldly presence. Y/n couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and uncertainty like she was stepping into a realm beyond her understanding.

The long, flowing hair and the gentle aura surrounding Eclipse added to the mystique, making Y/n slightly mesmerised by the celestial figure guiding her. It was as if she was in the company of someone not just heroic but almost divine. The silence only intensified the mystique, leaving Y/n to wonder about the secrets hidden within the walls of the Scorchrend Agency.

"Where are we going?" Y/n asked nervously.

Eclipse glanced down at her. "The training studio, I want to see what you can do."

Eclipse guided Y/n down a well-lit corridor, the soft hum of distant activities echoing in the air. The anticipation in Y/n's chest grew with each step, uncertainty mixing with the desire to make a good impression. Eclipse's enigmatic aura only added to the nervous energy.

As they approached a set of imposing double doors, Eclipse turned to Y/n with a gentle smile. "Time to see what you're capable of, Y/n." The soft encouragement did little to ease Y/n's nerves as Eclipse pushed open the doors, revealing the expansive and well-equipped training area beyond.

The training studio was a vast expanse, its high ceiling disappearing into shadowy recesses. Neon lights lined the walls, casting a futuristic glow on the state-of-the-art equipment scattered throughout. The air hummed with the sound of hero costumes rustling, the clinks of weights, and the occasional burst of quirks being unleashed.

Sidekicks, donned in an array of distinctive hero costumes, moved with purpose. Some practised combat techniques in designated sparring areas, while others focused on agility exercises or quirk refinement. The atmosphere was charged with determination and a shared commitment to improvement.

Glistening holographic screens displayed data and analytics, monitoring each sidekick's progress. The occasional burst of energy or flash of brightly coloured quirks added a dynamic flair to the scene. It was a hive of activity.

"Everyone," Eclipse called out, making everyone in the room face her in an instant. "If you would kindly exit, it would be greatly appreciated."

On command, everyone in the studio filed out of the room, the holographic screens shutting off as they left their stations. They all bowed their heads as they walked past, Eclipse doing the same to each person.

Y/n watched in awe, seeing someone command a room so easily, without any resistance, was certainly a spectacle. It was clear that everyone held a huge amount of respect for Eclipse, and it made Y/n nervous.

Eclipse's hand rested reassuringly on Y/n's shoulder as she guided her toward a central station in the training studio. With a subtle touch, she initiated the holographic screen, casting a vivid glow around them. The sudden illumination startled Y/n, causing her to jump back in surprise. Eclipse's expression remained composed, her dark eyes studying Y/n with a calm intensity.

"We're going to track your progress while you're here with us, Y/n." Eclipse's voice was soft and gentle. "If you would just scan your finger, we can get started as swiftly as possible."

Y/n hesitated for a moment before placing her finger on the designated spot, scanning her fingerprint to begin the process. The holographic screen prompted her to input additional information, requesting her full name, date of birth, and age. As she complied, a new section appeared, asking her to list her quirk, with the option to include more than one if necessary.
