九 ; training (part 1)

"Airi, go get the clipboard! The students are about to arrive!"

"Alright, sis!"

Airi ran inside the resort, getting the blue clipboard my sister left on the receptionist counter. Knowing the fact the students were about to arrive made her all giddy about it. Airi hasn't interacted with much people lately since all she does was to help her sister tutor the students to become heroes, so having company that's just by her age really excited her. Grabbing the clipboard while bidding the receptionist a goodbye, she quickly jogged towards her sister to stand by the entrance of the resort. Airi's eyes trailed over to the thick forest, waiting for their next guests to arrive.

And, they did.

Except, in the least expected way.

Panting, groaning, the sounds of them grunting in exhaustion were what greeted her ears first. It wasn't long before the faint figures of them showed beneath the thick shrubs and tall trees, all of them covered in dirt, sweat, slight scratches and faint blood covering their school P.E outfits. Airi's eyes held the confusion, wondering why they were in that condition. Not to forget, usually her sister's students would come by early in the morning, but this time they arrived late in the evening, it was almost dinner time. Airi turned her head towards her sister who smiled at the scene, as if she was ignoring the students current condition.

"Mandalay.... why are they like that?", she pointed towards the group of students who were struggling their way towards them. "Where did they come from?"

"Since they're one of the most capable students we have ever gotten our hands on before, I suppose, we.... did a few things beforehand.", Airi's sister, Mandalay winked at her playfully. "They had to go through the beasts by themselves."

Airi's eyes slightly widened.

"What? Why?"

Mandalay shrugged her shoulders. "Mr Aizawa, their teacher over there," she nudged her thumb towards the lazy looking man on the right. "Told us to make it difficult for them. So, we did! I mean, they are from UA."

Airi nodded, signalling she understood. It was then when she looked back in front, all of them had all arrived. Some of them were already on their knees, panting for breath. Airi couldn't help but to stiffle a laugh, immediately covering her mouth with one of her hands when she earned a glare from one of the students.

"Hmmm.... took you long enough, huh?", Pixie-Bob asked in a cheerful tone, hopping herself out. "It's almost dinner time, and you even missed lunch!"

"Three hours?! Are you kidding me?!!", the red haired student groaned, immediately crouching down, his legs giving up to his exhaustion.

"Oops, sorry! That was how long it would take us to go through the forest.", Pixie-Bon scratched her head, giggling.

"Why are you bragging about your superiority now.....",

"Ugghh... I'm so hungry..... I could die!!!", one of the students groaned, holding their tummy in pain. Airi took note of his red spiky hair, since it stood out the most amongst the students.

"We honestly thought you would take soooo much longer! I'm proud you got all of my earth beasts down!", the blue outfit female continued, her paw-like hands just below her chin with a huge grin plastered on her lips. Airi silently agreed to her statement, those earth beasts are really hard to take over.
