༄.° way with water.

After the intense meeting with the heroes, Y/n found herself lingering near the exit of the academy's grand hall, her mind still buzzing with the weight of the mission ahead. The briefing had left her with a mixture of emotions—determination, unease, and a strange, lingering sense of finality. As she started to make her way out, she was stopped by a voice, light and casual, cutting through the tension that had settled over her.

"Hey, Y/n," the voice called out, full of a warmth that felt oddly out of place after such a serious discussion. She turned to see Hawks, the Pro Hero known for his effortless charm and deadly efficiency, striding towards her with his signature grin.

"Hey, Hawks," she replied, trying to match his easy-going tone, though she knew he could probably see through her thin veneer of calm.

"You did well in there," Hawks said, his eyes sharp even behind the laid-back smile. "But I was thinking—it might be a good idea to get some quirk training in before we head into the lion's den. It wouldn't hurt to see how our abilities can complement each other in a fight."

She nodded, understanding the wisdom in his suggestion. Despite her experience, she hadn't fought alongside heroes like Hawks in a long time, and with the stakes as high as they were, any edge they could get would be crucial.

"Sounds like a good idea," she agreed. "Where do we start?"

Hawks' grin widened. "Follow me. I've already rounded up a couple of the academy's best to join us. It'll be a good chance to see how we all work together."

As they made their way to the training facility, she couldn't help but feel a flicker of curiosity. Hawks had a reputation for being unpredictable, both in and out of combat, and she wondered what kind of training he had in mind. The academy's top students were no slouches either, and she was eager to see what they could do.

When they arrived at the training room, Y/n was greeted by the sight of two young heroes-in-training: Izuku Midoriya and Mirio Togata. Both were already in their training gear, exuding a palpable energy and enthusiasm that reminded y/n of her own time as a student here.

Izuku, with his wild green hair and determined expression, looked like he was ready to take on the world. Despite his youthful appearance, she could sense the raw power simmering beneath the surface—an intensity that marked him as someone to be reckoned with.

Mirio, on the other hand, radiated confidence and warmth. His bright smile and easy demeanor made him instantly likable, but she knew better than to underestimate him. There was a reason he was considered one of the top students at the academy, and his ability to phase through objects and people alike made him a formidable opponent.

"Glad you could join us, Y/n!" Mirio called out as they approached. "We're looking forward to seeing what you can do."

Izuku nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with excitement. "Yeah, it'll be great to train with someone of your experience. I've heard a lot about your quirk."
