the sound of the tdl was filled with ruckus - mainly due to bakugou consistently setting off his explosions and dark shadow's loud remarks towards tokoyami.

the class was split up between multiple mountain like pillars due to cementos, with ectoplasm making about a dozen duplicates of himself to give one on one teaching to all the students.

however, while the rest of her classmates were working up a sweat, she was sitting on the rough ground in her hero costume with one of ectoplasm's doubles looking over her shoulder at the biology textbook resting in her lap.

"so, there are five types of bones in the human body, mainly - long, short, flat, irregular and sesamoid," ectoplasm repeated, pointing at the textbook that was showing a detailed diagram of the human bone structure.

"long bones like the humerus, fibula and femur support weight and facilitate movement," he continued, "short bones like the carpals and tarsals are cube-shaped - flat bones such as the sternum, ribs and cranial bones protect internal organs - irregular bones like the vertebrae and sacrum have-,"

"-have complex shapes while sesamoid bones like the patella are used to reinforce tendons - i know, i get that," beni interrupted with a petulant huff, "what i don't get is why i have to learn all of this,"

ectoplasm was silent for a moment before he stepped away from the girls shoulder and sat in front of her, mimicking her cross-legged pose.

"you said you wanted to create a special move that involved mimicking something, mainly yourself or others," he recited, "you will need to know how the human body is made if you want to make it,"

the girl opened her mouth to say something but was quickly hit with an immense pain in her head.

there had been many times where beni has felt like her feels weren't her own - it was like there was something influencing her sometimes, like her own feelings were back-pedalled in place of new ones that weren't even hers.

maybe that's why i find it so hard to care about people - and when i do, it isn't love, it's like faith

the girl wincing, effectively shutting herself up as a wave of stabbing pain suddenly appeared before disappearing just as quickly.

"ikeya?"

she could vaguely hear the sound of her name being called and looked up to see ectoplasm leaning closer.

"ikeya? are you alright?"

as her hearing came back and the pain dulled into that of headache, she nodded mutely before standing up, trying not to keel over.

"'m good," she mumbled, turning to the teacher, "can we focus on something else? all this science is making my brain hurt,"

"of course - what else did you have in mind?"

beni sighed quietly, looking down at her right hand which she balled into a fist, ignoring the niggling throb in her head.

"i've used it before, i just don't have an actual name for it yet,"

ectoplasm took his place a few paces away from her, clearly getting ready for a tussle.

"show me what you mean and we can work it out together,"

beni gave the man nothing more than a nod before she felt herself, almost on autopilot as she focused on her ever growing headache, channel the luciferin and luciferase in her blood down to her right fist, watching as the veins started to be outlined by the high concentration.
