Quirkless but not worthless

UA entrance exams

Red POV
It was the day I've been waiting for! UA exams, this will say if we are allowed in or not. Me and Jack got up early both as planned and since Akamei was knocking on our door again...

"Red, I put in a lot of effort to make my baby and I expect you use them well! I present to you the handy pack mk 11!" She held out a sleeker design of the handy pack but it also had a helmet.

"Mei... This can't do what I think it can... Can it?" I asked in awe.

I-I hope it c-can!
Same here

"No, it can't make ice cream! But it can make physical forms of your personalities!" She told me and I hugged her in joy.

"Thanks Mei!" I quickly put on the equipment which was the back pack that would extend the arms when in use and the helmet was light but could still protect me. When I put the helmet on I activated it with a button on one of the straps, I instantly felt my energy get sucked from my body.

"I bet you noticed that tiring part, huh? Well since we couldn't just stick a person sized battery to your back we did the next best thing, a human battery!" Mei smiled as she explained. "And another thing! You can share the exhaustion!" She then took a knife out of one of the straps. "This baby will suck the energy from anything it can so use this unless your carrying more coffee than the budget for our babies!" We waved as we left.

Teal, Gold and Shugo appeared a few seconds after leaving and walked with us, Gold with Jack, Teal with me and Shugo towering behind us.

Teal hugged my arm as we walked which sent shivers up my spine and a huge blush on my face.

"I-is something wrong Red?" Teal asked innocently.

You know exactly what's wrong!

"Nothing..." I sighed trying to ignore it but she hugged tighter and tighter with every passing second until my arm was in between her...

I quickly noticed this and I used my other hand to pull my hood over my head after I took my helmet off.

My face feels like fire!

"R-Red are you s-sur..." I'm not sure if she just realised why I was acting odd or she realised where my arm was but either way her entire face turned her blush colour, green. Teal instantly put her face in her turtle neck but she didn't move away.

I don't understand! Was this intentional or not!?

"Y-you don't mind r-right?" She asked softly as she hugged my arm even tighter to emphasise what she meant.

I just remained silent in a near permanent blush.
What happened to the Teal who would move away from even the slightest attention on her chest!? Now she's doing this!

The walk seemed like I was using my combat strategy of slowing my perception on time. How did no one notice this!?

When we finally got there I had almost gotten used to the heat until she moved away. "We're talking later..." I whispered in her ear and she blushed a bright green.

"Its a big building..." Jack huffed with tired eyes and ruffed up hair.

"Did you get new gear too?" I asked Jack gesturing to his high-tech gloves and straps.
