eyes wide, whispering W-wow, that's... I didn't expect such power from you.
"This is Ponymuse, shut up already dammit-" pony had given up trying to control her surges and kept training
steps forward with determination Hey, I get it. You're frustrated, but you can't just give up! We all have our struggles, and this is yours.
pony looked up, angry "Really? This isn't a joke Deku! My surges hurt people! Do you get that?"
softens tone, steps closer I understand that your surges can hurt people, but that doesn't mean you should give up.
"I am trying to control it! But I keep hurting people." * pony said hesitantly as she did another drill, successfully this time but with pain."
determined, steps even closer Well, then maybe we need to find a different approach. Instead of trying to suppress your powers completely, what if we teach you how to channel them in a more controlled way?
"Are you serious? Do you even know how to do that?" * pony looked at Deku suspiciously.
smirks Of course I am serious. And yes, I do know how to channel powers in a controlled way. Allow me to show you.
"But you're not the one surging all the time!" * pony pointed out, getting slightly pissed off at the hero.
stands tall, confident That may be true, but I've been training for years to understand and harness my own powers.
"Well maybe you should shut up now..". pony muttered under her breath as she finished another successful drill
grins mischievously Alright, fine. If you want me to shut up, then prove me wrong. Show me what you've got.
"Fine." pony set up for her next drill
observes pony's setup, nodding in approval Alright, let's see what you can do. Remember, focus your energy and channel it carefully.
pony did as he told and then she did a drill successfully without hurting anyone
claps enthusiastically Well done, pony! That was amazing! You did it! You controlled your surges!
"Yeah, okay..." * pony mumbled, shaking her head in disbelief at herself.
grinning Come on, don't sell yourself short! You should be proud of yourself! This is a huge step forward, and I'm proud of you too!
"hmph. yeah right." pony scoffs, heading for a shower after her long training session
playfully punches pony's shoulder Oh, come on! Don't be so modest. You should be celebrating your success!
she sighs, going into the girls changing room and starting the shower, using all of the hot water because why not? She even sings softly, forgetting to be quiet or modest.
watches pony in the shower, blushing furiously H-hey, uh... P-pony, can you... um... could you turn down the volume a bit? I-I can hear you from here...
pony pauses, peeking outside of the curtain "Right!" she whispers and turns off the song, still having the shower running but at a low volume.
blushes even deeper, nervously chuckles Ah, sorry about that. It's just... um... I wasn't expecting you to be so... vocal... in your singing.
she rolls her eyes as she exits the shower, telling Deku she was still angry at him.
grabs a towel and playfully wraps it around his head Well, well, well, someone's still grumpy after her shower. Can't blame you though, showers can be quite rejuvenating. But hey, now that you're all cleaned up, how about we grab some food? My treat. As Deku heads towards the cafeteria to grab food, he trips over a loose floor tile and sprains his ankle, groaning in pain.
pony sighs before hearing the thud
grimaces in pain, clutching his sprained ankle Ouch... This is not how I planned to spend my evening. Can you... uh... give me a hand?
she sits next to Deku and sighs "Why aren't you careful...?"
grits teeth, determined I'm fine, really. Just a little accident. I'll be okay. Just need to rest it for a bit.
pony grabs Deku's arms, helping him up, deciding not to leave him laying there. Instead, she gets him going
winces in pain as pony helps him up Thanks, pony. You're always looking out for me, aren't you? I appreciate it. Let's... let's go to the infirmary, they should be able to help with this sprain. pony helps Deku limp towards the infirmary
as pony was helping Deku, they walked past chadraft and Kadence who were making out against the wall, and a few other teachers dating instead of working
raises an eyebrow and smirks Wow, look at Mr. Chadraft and Ms. Kadence finding a creative way to slack off. Guess that's what happens when you let teachers date on school premises. Should we tell anyone about this? pony giggles and shakes her head No need to bother, it's their personal time. Besides, it's cute seeing them together.
"The cheaters." * pony mutters
leans in closer to pony, whispering The nerve of them. Cheating on each other while they're supposed to be supervising us. And here I thought they were dedicated educators. pony smirks and rolls her eyes They definitely have a different way of showing dedication. But hey, we can't blame them for finding love where they can. Life is tough, after all.
