7:30 AM. The surrounding area was scarce of people. The only sound heard were the trees slightly flailing and shuffling, resisting the strong winds. It’s times like this that one should take advantage of, whether it’s to forget your troubles or to train up. For Brandon, the empty park was a perfect place to run through.
5:30 AM, Brandon wakes up to the sound of a blaring alarm clock. Moaning, he feebly attempts to place the wretched clock back on snooze, only for him to miss the mark completely and hit his arm on the bed frame. “Umhp! Hmmmmmmm…” Brandon groans as he slowly shuffles off his comfortable sheets. and starts his morning routine. Glaring at the remaining groceries he has in his mini fridge, Brandon makes a mental note to pick up more. He usually makes some eggs, but a banana and milk will do for now. Drinking the milk, he looks at a note he absentmindedly wrote in the dark.
“Meet up with Kent at 3.”
Brandon was slacking off on his workouts. This last week, he was busy helping Kent with some errands, taking up most of his free time. Well, now it’s time to take back his time.
“Listen man, I can’t just stay here in the shop! I need to go back into training! I gotta get my muscles back to shape!” as Brandon so eloquently states to a sleepy Kent yesterday night, cleaning up the workspace around them.
“Yeaaaah, I suppose you should workout, after all you barely look like you have any muscles on you.” Kent yawns and quietly closes shop while Brandon makes an annoyed scowl. “Just be sure to come by the shop again before 3, alright.”
“Shut up, I know!”
“…”
“…For what again?”
Kent quietly chuckles. “Just get here before then, I’m going to need your help.”
“I’m usually finished by then, asshole.” Brandon mumbles to himself, crumbling up the note and shoving it in his pocket as he’s getting ready to run. He grabs his briefcase and places a water bottle inside along with some extra clothes to change into, he wouldn’t like to be at the shop with ruined clothes. As the clock hits 7, Brandon left his apartment and ran towards the park.
7:45 AM. At a brisk pace, Brandon speeds through, looking at his phone for the time.
“30 more minutes, then gym.” He sighs as he places his phone back in his pockets and steels his gaze ahead. He sees a girl ahead of him, running with loud music blaring from her earphones. She’s been here around the same time he’s been, and it doesn’t look like she’s stopping now. Not bad for a kid.
“Yo!” Brandon runs up by her side, the two of them now at an even pace. Maybe they can trade tips on training, who knows?

5:30 AM, Feng wakes up before her alarm and begins her morning routine. Washing her face, brushing her teeth, combing her hair and getting dressed before the alarm get can get a chance at making a sound. Today marks her first full week in Japan after her transfer to Yuuei, life in a new country is still a large change but she has a feeling shes gonna feel right at home. Before starting her day, she quickly notes down today's activities "1. Go out for a run, 2. finish up unboxing and organizing the apartment. 3. call home, and 4. Read academy manual and get settled in.
7:30 AM. The surrounding area was scarce of people. The only sound heard were the trees slightly flailing and shuffling, resisting the strong winds. It’s times like this that one should take advantage of, whether it’s to forget your troubles and train up. The perfect day for a run for Feng and it helps that she is listening to her favorite songs to workout to.
She is fully focused on running while being half aware of her surroundings. She is quite a ways from her apartment because she also used the opportunity to explore the city and get familiar with the residents around her area. As she was running she notices a rather strange man approaching her, she seems to be cautious of him considering she just moved here but he doesn't seem too bad. However he did say something to her but she couldn't hear what he said.
"Did you say something, sir?", she asks him as she takes off one of her earbuds. She maintains her running speed as she speaks to this odd man.

Brandon takes up the pace, hoping that the girl follows suit. He looks at her, seeing a confused nervous smile. It's almost like she's trying to get away from him. Brandon tries to break this tension.
"Uh, I said, how's the morning run been for you? You don't look too tired, that s good for someone your age while training."
The briefcase slightly moves from side to side, forcing Brandon to adjust the straps. "Normally people around my age or older run through this park. I don't really see any kids waking up this early just to jog, usually its, uh, clubs or something at the school."
Brandon gives off a small smile and focuses back on the path. It's around this time that he usually releases some steam from his body, but he won't, since A) its been a week so he wants to build up to that, and B) there was someone else here, and using his quirk in any capacity can scare them.
The birds begin to fly overhead, reacting to car noises nearby as the two run; a sign that the moment of peace granted by the morning was at its peak. Soon the park will resume its busy schedule of attending to everyone, with all the residents arriving at their usual picnic spots, the animals shoving up for their lunch, and the bums arising from their hiding places. A shame really, Brandon was really liking this peace and quiet.
Brandon picks up his phone while waiting for the girl's response. He looks at the time, and places it back in his pocket. Gotta remember to get to the shop before 3. After all, Kent would get annoyed if he's late.

Feng maintains her pace as she answers the man who seems friendly enough to make small talk with. May help to make some friends in this new land and can't get anything done unless she branches out.
"I always do this every morning, keeps my mind clear and sharp. I just moved here so I'm taking the chance to explore the neighborhood.."
She answers back as she keeps her eyes on the road, noticing the rather odd briefcase that the man is holding." Since we are making small talk, Its not everyday I meet a man who takes a briefcase out during a jog." She gives a smile back as the duo continue on the path through the park. She is keeping her breathing steady and brisk so she can better control her quirk in a emergency situation. The city slowly starts to wake up as they continue their jog, noticing the rather tense look the man showing on his face. Is he tired? Is he self-conscious about the briefcase thing? whatever the case, it almost time for a breather but maybe should go on a bit further to see how far she can go before she needs a good breather.
"You don't seem to have any trouble keeping up but you look like someone gave you a bad cup of coffee this morning" she bluntly says as she slows down to get a drink of water.

Brandon frowns a bit. She keeps looking at him, confused. Was it something he said? Was it the briefcase? All he wanted to do was make some small talk, not really his fault if she gets annoyed by it.
"Look, It's been a week since I ran this early, I gotta ease up to it, get back in gear, ya get it?" Brandon snipes back at her. "I used to do this more often until...eeeeh...The point being that it's been a while, alright?!" The briefcase moves around more as Brandon speeds up. He steadies himself, focusing on ahead. At this point it's almost like he's offering an invitation for a race. Brandon looks back at her, with her eyes becoming narrow. She's starting to notice it. It won't be long until they go full out on this little competition. It's as if they already decided that the one who stops running is the loser. Brandon steadies his breath, trying not to release any steam from his vents. If he's gonna win this little skirmish, he's gonna do it the honest way. He will defeat this girl in jogging, there's no doubt about it. Brandon lets off a small smirk. There's no way he's about to lose.
If there was anyone around them spectating, they would perceive this as incredibly silly and petty.

"I'm not one to pry into one's background.", she replies back at him.
As she takes a drink of water she quickly notices the man speeding up as he was saying something. Maybe its a invitation of challenge, rather odd way of proclaiming a challenge. She takes off both of her earbuds and gets ready to sprint. She instantly speeds up and passes him in a instant.
"On your right", she remarks to him as she passes him running. She keeps her pace and breathing steady to not let her quirk activate out of nowhere. Coming up to a hill path, the sun can be seen rising once you get high enough on the path. Quickly noticing that they are approaching a hill path, she takes the chance to slow down and maintain her pace since its a uphill battle with her stamina. This man and his actions are oddly getting her fired up for her jog but she cant pinpoint the reason why. Maybe its a sense of competition, maybe its mutual understanding, whatever the case, Feng will not lose in a foot race to a weird man who carries a briefcase with him everywhere.
"Can you keep up with me ?!", she remarks at him as she stretches her arms out to bask in the cold wind as she's running.

"Can you keep up with me?"
Oh, she shouldn't have said that. The race is on. At an instance he speeds up and passes her, leaving her behind. The hill became nothing more than another flat plane, unable to even slow down the two as they kept encouraging this budding rivalry.
8:15 AM. The two pass by the lake again. Brandon kept focused, still attempting to reign in his quirk. He has taken off his jacket already and wrapped it around his waist. Sure, it cost him some speed and the girl was winning for a bit, but now they're back at an even pace. He looks back at her. She's also supremely focused on the race, breathing heavily. Not bad.
8:30 AM. Passing by a bench, an old couple enjoying the birds see two people running. One of them is carrying a briefcase by the handle, but doesn't seem to be hampered or slowing down. The other has earbuds hanging off her pocket, stretching out her arms periodically. The two of them kept sniping back with taunts such as:
"You enjoying the view back there?"
"Passed ya, slowpoke."
"You look tired, sir. I think you need a break?" "Shut up, I got more energy left on my body!"
They seem like good friends, the couple think to themselves as the two kept bickering by.

"Shut up, I got more energy left on my body!"
"Are you sure about that, sir?", she snickers at him as she darts past him again. Her breathing is getting more and more difficult to maintain but she pushes forward despite that. The more she runs, the more tedious it gets to maintain her quirk with every step. She notices that the man is also at the edge of his limits but is still pushing on as well. The thought crossed her mind that neither of us are gonna give up and we need a en all solution to this foot race.
"Last one to the hill near the lake has to buy both if us coffee !", she yells out as she blasts past him as she runs full speed ahead towards the hill that overlooks the entire lake. The morning is still rather cold but at this point, Feng's jacket is already tied around her waist and as she runs full speed ahead.
As she touches the tree at the top of the hill, she lets out a victorious yell and takes a deep breathes to celebrate. Been a while since she had done something like this, so the race has lifted up her spirits quite a bit after the move.
" We never did introduce each other properly, did we?", she realizes as she looks back at the man who is slowly make his way up the hill.

The girl awaits on top of a hill. Of course she had to mention coffee, just hearing the thought made him gag a bit.
"Hu-huh. We uh, we really didn't tell each other's names...right then." Brandon slowly reaches the top, panting and searching for a bench to rest on. "The name's Brandon, i guess you can call me a freelancer. I don't really have a job so I just help out people that pay me." He sighs as he places the briefcase next to him and look down on his phone. It's almost 9, he expected to at least be in the gym by now. He chuckles a bit and looks up. "How about ya? You look like a student, which school do you go to?"
The park becomes more lively as the peace and quiet all but vanishes. Brandon looks at the girl, both of them are reeling from the impromptu race they participated. She's not bad at all, she knows how to keep her momentum and not burn out quickly. If they were having a normal jogging session, they would have kept going for more. But something peaked his curiosity. She didn't really go all out, like him. It's almost like she's trying to reign something in, same as he did with his quirk. She looks back at him, noticing his weird expression.

"My name is Feng Yao, and I am a new transfer student in Yuuei"
she states it loud and clear as she takes deep breathes. So first person Feng runs into is a hero-for-hire of sorts, somewhat a stroke of luck of sorts, maybe someone to ask for assistance from when the time calls for it. She stretches out her arms and practices her stances to steady her breathing. She quick does jabs at the air in between short breathes and ends in a kick after every thirty jabs and returns to neutral stance. She faintly notices the man staring but she pays him no mind as she continues her routine. The thought comes to mind that the man is also holding something back, but doesn't know what exactly is holding him back. Then from that thought it came to mind that it could be a medical condition or something else is holding him back. She scowls at the thought as she does another rep of jabs and kicks.
" You seem to have something on your mind and something tells me you weren't going all out on that race..." she remarks to him as she finishes her last rep and stares at Brandon dead in his eyes.

"Yuuei? Huh, never heard of it." Brandon thinks to himself as Feng does a routine. Maybe he has heard of it before, maybe Kent mentioned it offhandedly, who knows. Curious, he searches it on his phone and-
...Hold on. He did hear about this. Yuuei's that new school, right? Wasn't it for...quirk users?
Brandon stares back at her. If she's a student over there, that must mean-
"You seem to have something on your mind and something tells me you weren't going all out on that race..." Feng stops as she slowly becomes serious. Brandon stops in his tracks as he notices her looking straight at him.
Did she realize the same thing about him? Brandon looks surprised.
"A-Ah! Well, uh, ya see," He nervously stammers as he shoves his hands in his pockets and moves his head around. "It's just that usually I, um..."
If she's really a student at Yuuei, that must mean she has a quirk. Why then is he being nervous about revealing it to her? It's not like she's gonna hate him if he does unlike what happened at the ring. Brandon calms down a bit and looks at her again.
"Yeah. You're right. I was holding back. Usually when I'm by my own I tend to use my, um...quirk. It's my training regiment, ya know. Gotta get used to it and not get tired from it, and stuff," he trails off a bit before noticing.
Brandon sighs as he checks his briefcase if it's still there. "...Are you doing the same, too?"

" I knew something was up, but didn't expect this sort of deal", she says as she stretches and loosens up for something she wasn't expecting to do in her first week here in a new country. As the man opens up his briefcase asks a rather odd question.
"...Are you doing the same, too?"
" I'm a student who just came here but I'm more than ready to spar against someone, could be good practice for the future." She declares with confidence as she readies up and removes her jacket from her waist and sets in next to a tree nearby. A flurry of thoughts rush through her mind as she steadies her breathing. What kind of quirk does this man have? What is in that suitcase exactly? How strong is this man? All of these thoughts are going through her head but the realization that she never actually won the footrace is what ticks her off the most.The fact that she won with a handicap is itching at her and she is in a mood to spar against this man. She rolls up her pant legs up to the knee and takes a takes an stance to show that she is ready to take the man on.
"Let's see what you got." she tells him with a look of fire that burns bright in her eyes.

Brandon opens his briefcase and shoves his jacket in it. He then looks up only to hear Feng issue a spar.
"Whu-really? Y-You want to challenge me? Like, you do know where we are, right?" Brandon gestures around them, pointing out to her that there are people in the park. She however remained serious, preparing a fighting stance.
"Gaaah, there's no point trying to convince you, huh." Brandon immediately concedes and gets off the bench. He can tell it from that look of her eyes; a gaze of a fighter.
The two of them remain a short distance apart. The rules became evident; fight until one cannot fight no longer. It's just a spar however, so there wasn't any real reason to go all out, thought Brandon. After all, she's still a teenager, and Brandon is still older than her.
The thought of spectators seeing a young men and a teenaged girl fighting the park appearing as 'indecent' never really crossed his mind.
"I'm just gonna warn ya, I'm not really-" And with that, Feng closes the distance and attempts to deal the first strike.
Their arms strike. Brandon has blocked Feng's jab.
"I'm not really what you call a 'rookie.'" Brandon smirks and pushes off Feng to punch her in the shoulder. The fight has begun.

"Arrogant to assume I'm a greenhorn when it comes to fighting as well..",
Feng takes punch to the shoulder but then responds with a heavy palm strike aimed at his chest. After the hit lands, she quickly follows up with a uppercut aimed at his chin.
Many thoughts are going through head on what move to use in response to whatever Brandon throws. The insecurity of fighting in public is quickly set aside when it comes to fighting, her mind is dead focused on this match. Use of her quirk is at the back of her mind but in a situation where there's no other choice, she just has to hold back on before the impact. She is observing her opponent and every move he makes to make up for the fact that her martial arts is a bit rusty due to the move and everything associated with it.
" If you plan on holding back then you might as well forfeit this match right now...",
she remarks at him as she lands a kick to his right side followed by another palm strike aimed at his arm. After her attacks land she quickly makes a gap between the both of em and takes a defensive stance.
"Don't take me lightly just because I'm a student..."

"Tch. Nice, aiming straight for the legs. If we were in a ring right now that would instant disqualification." Brandon smirks as the two take a defensive stance.
His chin slightly stings but it's nothing to worry about, he took way harsher punishment around that area. She knew what she was doing; aiming for the legs in order to impede movement. Focusing on one side of the body to make the opponent be more guarded on it, only to strike the other. Classical tactics. She' focusing on his right side, as she keeps kicking and punching it as he's blocking. He's gonna have to amp it up a bit.
Feng steps off and aims for another strike to the chin, but as she readies her palm, he rushes in to shove her. She gets off balance and as she does, he readies his fist. As she's trying to find her footing, Brandon goes in for the blow. She may boast about it, but in the end he still has the upper edge in personal training and actual field work in vigilantism. A girl's martial arts wouldn't do for an interesting challenge, even if she's well trained.
*POW*
Feng stumbles, holding her face. Brandon smirks, glad that he got a hit in-
Brandon immediately regrets the decision.
He just punched a girl in the face. No, he just punched a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT in the face. If there were any police around they would have arrested him without any question.
Now he's done it, he made a huge mistake, hopefully she doesn't do an-
In an instance Feng kicked Brandon's head at full force.
An Eye for an eye, a kick in the face for a punch in the face. If Kent were watching, he would have said Brandon deserved it.
