Teika walks into the combat section of the military training camp, where his average jean and t-shirt street clothes, taking in the sights of all the quirk users showing off their powers, kicking ass in training, or sometimes, getting their asses handed to them. He's looking around, trying to find the specific section of the grounds he was guided to by the administrative corporal, who, after explaining what his quirk does, told him to seek out a sergeant Terao Matsumoto, who is apparently running training exercises to show quirkers what an average human can do.
After about twenty minutes of searching, he hears his name being shouted out from the behind him, startling and stopping him in his tracks. The man behind him comes up to him and says,"what do ya have, goddamn mud in yer eyes!?" The angry looking man standing in front of him shouts. Teika manages to see the name Matsumoto across the man's chest before he is forcefully ushered to the training area. "I've been watching ya dick around for 20 goddamn minutes, 'bout made my blood boil, now shut up and watch."
Not wanting to anger the man further, he watches as a private start the course. The course itself involves caring 50 kgs through an obstacle course. The private in question somewhat struggles with the weight, but manages to make it through the course in about two minutes and thirty seconds, about average for most privates. "Good hustle out there Kasai, get some rest and get ready to run it again, so we what this quirker punk can do," Terao says, still a very hard look on his face,"Now, mudeyes, get your ass on that stage and put on a good show, we got ya precious guitar set up so ya ain't so useless."
Teika, now thoroughly done with this mistreatment, says,"fine, sure, whatever," under his breath, and goes over the "stage", which is really just a guitar and amplifier. Well, atleast they got the guitar he thinks, and it doesn't look to bad, must be something from the military band. "Just make sure she stays within 10 meters of me, and remember, when I stop singing, the improvement also stops," Teika says, annoys evident in his voice, and starts to play "We Rock" by Dio.
Terao rolls his eyes,"I'll keep that in mind mudeyes; Kasai, go." Kasai starts the obstacle course, but now empowered by Teika's quirk, she completes it in 55 seconds flat, 5 seconds below the previous record, the load on her back obviously seeming far lighter."Well, I'll be damned, kid wasn't joking, and he ain't to bad on the guitar either," Terao says, amusingly, "Let's see what happens when an enhanced trained solider fights a quirker. Sakai, make the announcement."
"Yes, sir," Sakai says obediently. He goes over the announcement board and says,"A new combat training arena has opened up, please come to the obstacle course section for more details; as this will only last for a limited time, please come immediately."

(OCC: The solider in question is F rank in abilities, but with Teika's enhancement, now has E rank in strength and speed for the next 3 posts)

The combat section of the military camp, this was a place that Kogami found himself in for the sake of maybe increasing his own personal skills so that he could utilize it skillfully with his quirk and possibly be able to take down the more seasoned villains that may have gotten used to their quirks. Sometimes Kogami thought the reason for one's downfall or shortcomings could be their experience, those who lack enough experience might pale in comparison to those who can utilize their quirks in an optional way. Kogami wanted it to be second nature to him, he wanted the chance to protect his classmates and anyone else who was among the innocent that needed saving. Maybe that's one of the many reasons why Kogami found himself in this section of the military camp? Kogami tied his hair up so it wouldn't get in his way. He was also wearing a black shirt that had a purple heart drawn in. Other than that, he was wearing black sweatpants and a new pair of black boots that he bought for the sake of visiting the base in the first place. However, Kogami always had time for snacks, munching on a candy bar silently as he walked over when the announcement was made. wc: 213

Teika continues to play his guitar and sing, focusing on the continued empowerment of private Kasai. While he does so, he notices another individual comes close to the area that the Sergeant is currently using as a makeshift arena, and notices that they look more like a quirk user looking around the training camp then one of the rank and file. He hopes they don't loiter long enough for Sergeant Matsumoto to notice them, a hope which is quickly dashed on pointy rocks as he sees Matsumoto walk up to the poor ignorant fool.
"Well look at you ya purple heart shirt wearing bastard, ya interested in taking us up on testing out the troops? 'Course ya are, why else would ya be standing around the combat trainin area?" Matsumoto curtly says, as he begins dragging Kogami to the arena, where private Kasai is currently practicing whatever martial art she knows, getting use to the new increase to both speed and strength, when she then notices Matsumoto dragging Kogami to the arena, and enters a fighting stance. "Now stand right there, and we can start this shit show right," Matsumoto says quickly,"Just say when ya are ready, do whatever you have to ta get yer quirk ta work."

When the military personnel came on over and started to curse up a storm in order to poke the bear and get Kogami a bit riled up, the only reason why it didn't necessarily work on Kogami was due to the fact of the culture of the military itself. As a matter of fact, Koga would have been surprised if they said anything else that seemed to be turned down a notch, so acting exactly as he expected them to do wasn't out of the ordinary.
As the man by the name Sergeant Matsumoto started to drag Kogami over to the area, Kogami took a casual bite of his candy bar as he looked around this particular area that he was going to spar in with the other military members, Picking up on their skills might not be a bad idea,
"Yes, I'm actually here for some combat training. I was looking for something traditional, but I guess this is the only way to go about it. "
It was assumed that a member of the military was a little bit older and more physically prepared for altercations with other individuals. Seeing his opponent as a woman didn't take Kogami off guard either, opening and closing his hand as he looked towards himself.
"I'm always ready, I don't have a problem using my quirk right now."
If Kogami didn't need to whistle to behind, the first thing that Kogami would do is grab a bit of air and solidify it into a bowling ball size before throwing it at the apparent opponent, just to test the waters. The field was clear enough that Kogami was only limited to what he could see.

A ball of solidified air hurtles toward private Kasai, as Kogami opens up the fight. With a speed she knows is not her own, Kasai dodges the ball of air, where is crashes down and collapses a tent set up to the side of the arena. The look of shock on Kasai's face is quickly replaced by a devious smirk, as she rushes to Kogami with impressive speed and begins to attack with everything she has, starting with a flying kick to the jaw.
Teika continues to sing his song as the battle before him starts to take place, and he wonders what exactly the Sergeants plan is. Why would he be so interested in his quirk, was it just to see what it could do, or was he planning something else? And what would having a private beat up what looks to be a kid with some air quirk really prove? This all seems kind of odd to him, though the military is specifically here to learn more about quirks and there applications, and if he was being completely honest, he really did want to see what his enhancement could do in a straight up fight. He pushed those worrying thoughts to the back of his mind as his songs picked up pass.

Misjudging the speed of the military personnel that Kogami was facing, it seemed as if his solidified air balls were missing the mark in the sense of being able to land a hit on the person that Kogami intended to aim for. Even with the miss, the speed of the opponent was also unprecedented with how fast they approached the younger male with the intention of giving Kogami a flying kick to the face.
Solidifying the air around his forearms as he grabbed the air and pulled it over as if he was layering on a protective sheet, Kogami couldn't do anything else bu ready himself against the attacks of Kasai. With the force of the kick making contact with Kogami's wall, he could feel the intensity that was backing her legs, something that made it seem as if it was the pinnacle of what a completely physically fit human could achieve. Or maybe it was much more?
Either way, it broke through the solid air barrier, the force of the kick broke through and hit Kogami in the face. The power of the kick was weakened, but it did shake Kogami off of his feet. As the blunt force made contact with his face and bruised his forehead, Kogami maintained his footing from the sudden stagger by pushing himself up and grabbing on to the air about 7 meters up. With the dust that accumulated from the push, Kogami used it as a cover as he held on the solidified air with one hand and use his free hand to make an even bigger solidified ball of air to dunk it on the cadet.

Teika actually winced at the force of the kick being delivered to Kogami. Even though the kids quirk lessened the impact, it still looked like it hurt. He notices what Kogami is trying to do with the large ball of air, though he doesn't know if he'll be able to land a hit on the private, especially since he doubts the private didn't notice as well. As the large ball of solid air came down on the private, she dodges to the left of the air, but doesn't quite make it in time as it crashes down upon her leg. She visibly winces in pain, but gets back up again, and tries to feign with her left fist, but moves fully into a roundhouse kick.
Teika starts to feel the tension in his fingers and the strain in his voice. He knows it won't be long till he has to stop for a second to rest. He remembers what his grandfather said to him, of being a hero who brings the power of rock to the world, and he knows he has to push himself as much as he can. But he also knows, it won't be long till he has no choice but to end the enhancement. He thinks this might be alright, especially since Kasai seems to be going harder then she needs to. He hopes the Sergeant has gotten what he needs out of this experience, since he would rather not have to work with the man again.

Bringing his giant solidified ball down, Kogami felt like he wasn't completely on the mark of being able to completely dunk it on the opponent, but he did manage to harm her a bit. That was good actually, making sure that he kept it on the offensive and remained confident in his abilities. As soon as he saw her twist her hand up to make a punch, Kogami made the amateur mistake of trying to prepare himself for a dodge of the choreographed punch.
However, it was nothing more than a facade of her true intentions, being hit with a roundhouse kick from the empowered soldier. The roundhouse kick made a connection to the ribcage of Kogami, leaving somewhat of a red bruise of a footprint that also caused the younger male to fly back few feet and tumble on the ground. However, he didn't stay down for long, rubbing the lower left side of where the damage was deal.
"I'm....not finished..."
Looking at the soldier, Kogami was actually looking past her to where his recent solidified air balls went, Kogami reached out to the tent that was 7 meters away and grabbed it, pulling it back to where the battlefield was to cover and wrap around the cadet. It was noted that the hand movements were also being used to try to attempt to restrain the woman.
"This is still my quirk, so it's fair right?"

For a moment, it had seemed like the fight was over, with Kogami spiraled out on the ground. For a few precious seconds, it had seemed that this brutal fight was at an end; but then, Kogami struggled to get up, and appeared to manipulate the previously thrown air back at the private. At that very moment, Teika, voice beginning to grow hoarse and fingers cramping to a halt, had to stop playing his song, reducing the soldier to her original state. The ball of air came rushing to private Kasai, and now that her enhanced speed had left her, she was immediately overcome by the solid air bindings, forcing her to stop. The Sergeant calls the fight there, with Kogami begrudgingly declared as the winner.
The private stands up to give Kogami a handshake, to congratulate him on winning the fight, while the Sergeant goes over to Teika, the ever present anger stretched on his face, shouting,"Why the hell did you stop playing mudeyes?! Kasai could have won that fight if ya didn't stop!"
Teika, as calmly as he can, in a very rough voice, explains,"Look, every quirk has it's limits, and that was mine. If you had let me know that you where going to do this whole fight club crap, I might have been able to give her some extra time."
"So why ain't you working on making it last longer then? So it'd actually be useful?"
"You really think your private would have even lasted 5 seconds without my enhancement? All the loss of it means that she returns to what she was. Don't blame me if she can't handle herself on her own," Teika says, frustration now evident in his voice.
"Whatever," Matsumoto says dismissively, "with you not able to use your quirk, your done here. We're going to tear down the arena, so piss off so ya don't get hurt." When Teika is a good distance away, Matsumoto says under his breath,"more useful than I thought he'd."
Teika walks over to Kogami and Kasai, to see how they are both doing.

Securing victory on his part was somewhat of a bittersweet moment, but that was only due to the observations that the sergeant probably wanted anything but the younger student to win. Looking on over to the opponent that he had, Kogami would nod as he started to get up from being on one knee, still a little shaken up from the kick that Kasai gave me. "I didn't realize that the strength and speed that you had was a result of you having someone with a quirk supporting you, I'm actually impressed at how subtle something that it. The power of music maybe? But still, you really know how to fight. Can you teach me?"
Looking over to the cause of the power increase, he saw that Teiko was getting a bit of a mouthful but the sergeant for stopping, something that shouldn't be entirely his fault. From what Kogami could see, the man's voice was getting tired, and if anything is tied to his voice being expended, there is a good chance that he could have been hoarse and be unable to do anything else.
As the man came over, Kogami greeted him with a very strange question.
"I kind of overheard the conversation, but does your quirk only work if you were to sing? Or is it through guitar? Those electronic guitars with the keyboard have a recording or playset system, have you tried to cheat a little by having those songs play already and only focus on the lyrics?"
Though, realizing that his people skills were starting to show a distinct lacking, he immediately apologized to both of them. "Sorry, maybe should introduce myself. I'm Kogami, one of the many students visiting the base. "

Kasai gave the young man standing before her a strange look, and says,"Sorry kid, but my squad's only here for the quirk thing, we ship back to Tokushima after this thing is over. Though I have to hand it to you, you aren't that bad in a fight." She then looks over to the verbal berating Teika is receiving, a wry smile spreading across her face.
Teika comes over and give a wand wave to Kasai, asking,"So how was the empowerment?"
"It felt great, though didn't last as long as I expected," she gives an impish grin,"you got to work on your stamina, man."
Teika give a slightly embarrassed but overall annoyed look, and says,"Yeah sure, I'll try." He then looks over to Kogami, saying,"Well you're very straight forward, and to answer your question, yes, my quirk only activates when either I sing or play an instrument, and yes, I only have to do one or the other, and technically only have to sing in gibberish, but I ask you, where's the fun in that? Also, hi, I'm Teika Pietruszewski, Class 1-C, how are you doing?" He sticks his hand out to kogami, a massive grin spreading across his face.

"Hm, I see...."
Kogami couldn't help but have a look of disappointment on his face at the sense of coming here for a particular goal or outcome, and only receiving half of it. He had his skills down and managed to even win a small mock battle. However, what upset him was the idea of being rejected the opportunity of actually learning how to handle himself without his quirk, or even using his quirk in unison with advanced combat skills. Being unable to fully master those methods before graduating might be a hindrance on his chances of ever making it to the hero rankings, but he didn't like to be the one who complains all the time. However, the introduction of the Teika fellow was something that distracted Kogami of his previous disappointments for a while.
"I think mumble rapping might be a good fit, because you can just mumble something and call it music. But Maybe I'm just thinking of the simple ways to keep your quirk going without the negatives. Does your quick work on you as well? You can sing your own theme song."
Shaking his hand, Kogami would reach into his pocket to get some candy.
"Kogami shibuya, 1-B."

"Welp, I'm going to leave you two to it now," Kasai announces,"I better get back to Sarge before he rips into me for not helping with the tear down. Nice meeting both of ya." Kasai then walks off to meet up with the rest of her squad, already in the process of tearing down the arena, leaving the two young men on their own.
"Yeah, nice meeting ya too," Teika responds back, his voice seeming to have mostly recovered,"and nice to meet you Kogami. I actually haven't meet anyone else from U.A at this camp, despite how many quirk users are here right now, and to be honest, rap isn't exactly my style. See, the way I see it, if you want to be a hero, you have to have your own sense of style, a brand, if you want to stand out. Sure, if the situation is desperate enough I might resort to what you suggest, but I've never really been in that situation before. Also, it doesn't really matter what I sing, it seems no matter what my quirk, Shining Sound, has a limit. Though, I've never really seen what would happen if I tried to apply it to myself before."

"I'm not too sure what you mean? You were unable to run into anyone else who attends our school since coming on over here? That's a bit weird if I do say so myself. After being here, I did find myself walking around aimlessly with the idea in mind that I wanted to pursue some form of combat that could help me get a little better at using my quirk. What I didn't expect was the fact that no matter where I went, I didn't seem to run into anyone from my school. Except now that is...."
With the other boy explaining what his quirk does, Kogami would nod in acknowledgement. "Well you, fortunately, have a knack for making sure that whatever song that you sing is full of purpose. This could be a good motivator for kids growing up or for people who really need a role model that has a few good songs to go by. Even if it's not something you tried yet to use on others, the basic singing hero career is something you have going for you. "
Looking at his hands, Kogami would sigh.
"I don't have that kind of power. My line of sight, I can interact with anything I can see, understand, and perceive. It's normally confused with an air quirk because people find the concept confusing. "

"Eh, honestly, I think worry about you're currently level of skill is kind of pointless. The whole point of going to U.A is to learn what it is a hero needs to do, and improve on the applications of our quirks," Teika gives a reassuring smile to Kogami,"I doubt even Darkshine started out at her current level of power right from the start. And don't get too caught up on the semantics of how people classify your quirk. Hell, us it to your advantage, if a villain only thinks you can move air around when you can frankly do a lot more, let'em think that so you can get the drop on him."
Teika walks over to the would be entrance of the former arena, and turns back,"Anyways, I'm going to look around the training camp some more, kind of have a lot more to learn myself. It was nice meeting ya, Kogami, hopefully we can run into each other again, and try not to worry to much about where you're currently at in terms of power. You'll get there eventually, just as I will one day." Teika gives a thumbs up to Kogami and then walks off to the rest of the military camp.
