     Katsuma had no idea how he was going to defeat Team I. While he is familiar with how his classmates' quirks work, he is still heavily lacking in the strength department compared to both Kokoro and Satsuki. Despite that, he still has his brains and speed to make up for it.

     He can't exactly say the same for Kanjo though, the Zainichi preferring to stay in the shadows and avoid direct confrontation. Kanjo was a strategist, someone who plans before acting. Quite the perfect contrast to himself, as he likes to act before thinking.

     Kanjo stood beside Katsuma with his rifle in hand and a serious expression on his face. Speaking of which, Katsuma has never seen his quirk in action. Could it possibly be related to the weapons he's been using during practice?

     "Shimano-kun."

     "Huh?" Katsuma snapped out of his thoughts, turning his head over to look Kanjo in the eyes.

     "You spaced out there for a moment," Kanjo said as he adjusted his visor.

     Katsuma nervously rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry, I have the tendency to do that every once in a while."

     Kanjo nodded as he activated his visor to nocturnal mode, "It's fine. Hey, what exactly is your quirk?"

     "My quirk? It's Cell Activation," Katsuma responded, "Why do you ask?"

     "Just curious is all," Kanjo shrugged, "Say, by any chance do you know what Yumeiro-kun and Asui-chan's quirks are?"

     Katsuma thought back to a previous conversation he had with Satsuki yesterday.

     "My quirk?" Satsuki asked him. "You want to know about my quirk?"

     Katsuma nodded.

     "Alright, it's actually quite similar to my sisters..except for the whole tongue extension part (thank god I didn't inherit that). What differentiates our quirks is that I'm more agile and flexible than Tsu," Satsuki explained, "Hence why I was able to beat you in our climbing exercise back at the gym."

     "Wow, your quirk is so cool!" Katsuma exclaimed.

    Satsuki blushed, rubbing her fingers together nervously, "Thanks, your compliment means a lot to me. Most people would be rude and discriminate against me for being a mutant, but you and everyone else here have been nothing but nice. It's...weird.."

     "Yeah, I can get where you're coming from.

I used to get picked on pretty badly back on Nabu Island for wanting to become a hero. The only people who supported my dreams were my dad and my older sister, everyone else just belittled me for 'chasing after an impossible dream' and 'not having a quirk suitable for heroics'," Katsuma said as he pumped his fist up into the air, "But I'm going to prove them wrong! I'll prove to everyone that healing quirks are just as suitable for heroics as flashy ones!"

     Satsuki chuckled, "Well I wish you the best of luck on your dream, Shimano-kun."

     "Same here, Asui-chan."

     "I'm not sure on what Kokoro-kun's quirk is, but  I know Asui-chan's gives her frog-like abilities," Katsuma said as both he and Kanjo entered the building, "Why do you ask?"
