While the carnival would go down as a great day for the entire group, to you, it was a terrible day with nothing but regret and pain the whole way through. You didn't regret winning Coco that prize but you were sure she didn't care all too much. That didn't matter either as for now, you and your teammates woke up pretty early for today as it was again another Saturday, a week since the carnival event. And now, it was training time. You always did enjoy this time of the week since you and your friends could cut lose on this and just go at it.
You had sharpened your own blade and loaded up a few rounds into it's magazine, containing all sorts of ammo. You had burn dust, lighting dust, ice dust, etc and usually bullets just for added measure. You had geared up as well, getting your belts of ammo and pouches ready as well. You didn't have much in terms of armor, just a few vambraces and knee armor pieces that connected to your boots. Your sheath was attached to your back with a magnetic hollister and you also had a pair of fingerless gloves mainly for style.
You made your way down into the training arena and saw Burly was already present. When he saw you, he gave you a large smile and extended his chainsaw wrist blades and got his fists into the air. You knew he was asking for a sparring session. You smiled in return and you drew your blade and the two of you danced around the ring a little and lunged forward and clashed. The two of you struck and blocked one another again and again.
Burly swung at your legs, but you leapt up over them and attempted to roundhouse kick Burly's head. He grabbed your leg and pushed you back a bit before grabbing your collar and slamming you onto the ground and then throwing you off and away. As you got up and looked back at Burly, he slowly walked over to you and dusted you off and spoke to you in sign.
Burly: You still need to work on close ranged defense. Your kicks are also easily able to be projected. I suggest working on those. Get them faster.
You nodded in agreement and went off to work with them against drones. You ran the same simulation over and over again. You also worked a bit on your sword play with Burly as well and the two of you went at it for a few rounds. You could outmatch Burly when it came to weapons as you could easily outrun him and use your speed to your advantage. However, when it came to hand-to-hand, he could easily beat you. He did have a strong balance and could read your attacks before you finished them.
However, none of this upset you. Burly loved to help you out during training and you also enjoy spending time with him no matter where it was. Soon enough, Silver and Gure joined you guys and together, the four of you had a nice day. During these days, you guys would focus mainly on team training and team based attacks. Despite you not hearing anything, Silver was able to work out hand motions with you, something you greatly appreciated.
After a few more rounds of training, you decided to rest up a bit. You crashed down on a bench within the locker room and took a swig from your bottle. However, you felt someone tap your shoulder. You looked up and saw Yatsuhashi, one of Coco's teammates standing before you with a drink cup in his hand, offering it to you.
You smiled and took it and he sat down beside you and actually spoke in sign.
Yatsuhashi: It is a mixture of herbs meant to stimulate the senses. It should be the added boost you need and will regain some energy.
You put the drink down and stared at him in amazement.
"You know sign?!?! How? And why?"
Yatsuhashi: When Coco informed us of what she was planning on, I figured you would be welcomed here, so I learned sign to have a conversation with a new friend.
You gave Yatsuhashi and smile and from there the two of you just talked about life. He told you he used to live on a farm in Mistral before coming to Beacon. His father was a great warrior and he inspired to be just like him. Meanwhile, here you were, with nothing to show for. Your father was a lawyer and your mother was a doctor. And you always screwed up their lives because of just...everything you did.
Despite that, Yatsuhashi was able to bring you back to your teammates with a smile on your face. When you got back outside, you saw Coco easily pinning down your teammates with intense fire from her chain gun. While Coco kept Silver and Burly at a distance, Gure was facing down Fox. However, with Gure's own special move of storing up energy in his sword, he was easily able to blast away Fox.
Gure rushed over to attack Coco but she saw him coming in and spun around and kicked him in the head, rolled forward and slammed her handbag onto his head and face, knocking him out of the arena. Silver lunged forward with Burly. Coco jumped up and kicked Burly in the chin, backflipped and converted her handbag into her chain gun and leapt off of it and wrapped her legs around Burly's head and threw him onto the ground.
Coco landed and somersaulted back and grabbed her chain gun and blasted Silver away and out of the arena as well. She smirked but then you entered the fray. You landed onto her chain gun and backflipped back and kicked her chin. You placed your palms onto the ground and activated your semblance, earthquakes and launch bits of the ground up through the shock and Coco into the air.
You lunged up and grabbed her chain gun again and propelled yourself a bit farther up and punched her face twice before grabbing her baray and pushing her down onto the ground with a two footed kick. You punched the ground in front of Coco and summoned another earthquake and launched more rocks up and slammed into Coco.
You both landed and Coco was in an utter daze. You looked at her and saw some concern for her on your face. You ran over to her and looked over her. She reached up and grabbed your shoulder and pushed herself up and looked at you, smiled a bit and spoke in sign.
Coco: Your semblance?
You nodded.
Coco: Well, it was insanely powerful. Oh, I...
Coco blushed a bit while you looked at her confused. You gestured with your hands to keep going and she sighed and continued to talk in sign.
Coco: I like the gift you won me. It's cute.
You smiled a bit and the two of you got up. You also hide your face a bit from the blush that Coco's words brought to it. She actually liked something you did for once. She liked...she liked what you did. You also didn't notice Coco was blushing a bit with Velvet playfully hitting her shoulder.
You guys continued to have a few more training matches here and there. You were able to explain how your semblance worked as it was as basic as saying, put palms or hands on the ground, concentrate and pushed down, boom, earthquake. After the day ended with training, you got back into your dorm room. However, that when you got an alert on your scroll and silently gasped at seeing the screen. Mom's birthday was on Tuesday. Mom's birthday...oh boy.
