One unexpected turn from Ericka's plan was that her teacher would want in on it. Ericka had offered to make costumes for her classmates to make them more hero-like and to help them feel more at home as a part of the class. It was announced way back in the summer and though Semper Fi put a wrench in things, Ericka was still determined to make good on her promise. And though the teacher was there for that announcement, it never crossed her mind that he would want something as well. To be honest, it was pretty intimidating. It wasn't like the students, who were trying to become heroes. Their teacher was already a professional. He was already a crime fighter and had become involved with a number of villains and unsavory characters. Sh figured all kinds of budding hero costume design companies wanted him and Ericka was a complete novice. She didn't know the first true thing about design and costume making. Her offer to her other students was just for practice and to help them all bond.
So going into this meeting, Ericka's heart was already pounding. Arata had been a bit flaky with attendance because of personal issues. it happened to everyone and Ericka understood that. He was a pro hero after all. She figured stopping a crime or prevent harm to others was more important than showing up to the school every day. They were limited on staff and people out there needed help. It was what he had to do. That said, she wasn't sure what she could offer the guy that other places couldn't. Maybe he just wanted her help with some fine tuning or just style. She had that at least. And as for where they were going to meet? It was going to be on campus, of course. Walking around town together didn't seem like the most appropriate thing and Ericka didn't want to put Arata on the spot for shopping around with a teenage girl.

So Ericka chose to come to the teacher's lounge after classes were let out. It was a safe place to meet up and no one would think it was really weird. The last thing she wanted was to be the cause of rumors for her teacher. There were plenty of scandals situated around Yuuei already. And with it being the first professional heroes school in Japan, Ericka didn't want to add to any of it. She wanted the school to be successful because it was going to be the place she became a hero at. When she arrived at the lounge, Ericka was still wearing her school uniform. There were classes today, but after they were done, the girl took the time to clean up and tody the classroom. So when she finished that she came straight to the teacher's lounge without changing. She didn't plan on going anywhere else today, so it didn't seem like the best use of time to go all the way back to her dorm room just to come back and meet up with her teacher. So with a soft knock, Ericka announce herself coming in to greet those inside and let Arata know that she was here. "Hello?" She said softly and in an almost questioning tone to see if anyone was there.
